Ch. 1

Kaoru's p.o.v.

I sighed in relief after drinking some water from my water bottle. Today, my brothers and I faced each other to play some soccer and the loser had to do the winner's chores for a week. As always, I won the soccer tournament and now Dai and Shou must do my chores for a whole week. Life is definitely awesome. Oh yeah, I guess I should tell you who I am. My name is Kaoru Matsubara aka Powered Buttercup and I go to New Townsville High School with my two best friends Momoko Akatsutsumi aka Hyper Blossom and Miyako Gotokouji aka Rolling Bubbles. We're all 16 and its been two months ever since we went to that haunted mansion and became friends with the villains and ghosts there.

A lot has changed ever since we befriended our enemies. They don't destroy the town anymore but instead act like regular people and decided to have a peace treaty with us after realizing that we're all growing up. Mojo started working at the zoo and became a better father to the RRBZ, Fuzzy allows only good people in the forest if they respect the animals and nature, Him decided to be a yoga instructor, Sedusa became her own person and started helping out with Sakurako at her sweets shop, Princess started becoming a little nicer and people are paying more attention to her including her parents, the Gangreen Gang just hang out in the dump doing nothing, and the Amoeba Boys opened their own private casino for villains only and they started becoming famous to all the bad guys.

The RowdyRuff Boys? Well, its sort of a long story. After they confessed their love to us at the grand ball, we started going out and introduced them to our families. Surprisingly, our families really liked them but Momoko's dad threatened Brick that if he hurt her then he'll have to face his wrath and my dad and my brothers threatened Butch that if he broke my heart then all his bones in his body will be turned to dust. They were pretty freaked out by it but Miyako's grandmother was definitely scary when she threatened Boomer. The poor guy had nightmares of her for about 2 days but he managed to get over it.

Anyways, a few weeks after our families accepted them, they mysteriously vanished into thin air. We were all pretty shocked by it and the only thing they left us is a note telling us that they have to go look for something but will be back safe and sound and not to worry about them. We all suddenly became pretty worried because its been almost a month and they still haven't returned. Mojo was pretty freaked out by it and he started searching around the city to look for his boys and the villains helped him out as well including us. Sadly, we couldn't find them and we thought that they might've gone somewhere thats pretty far from New Townsville.

Momoko and Miyako couldn't stop crying and I shed a few tears when no one was looking. Where the heck are those boys and why did they leave without telling us where they're headed to!? I sighed and threw away my empty water bottle in the trash can. Right now, I'm inside my house and I walked over to the bathroom to take a shower because of the sweat forming on my skin. I grabbed my towel and pajamas and went inside the bathroom.

I removed my clothes and turned on the water. After checking that the temperature was right, I turned on the shower and stepped inside to let the water pound against my skin. I picked up a soap bar and rubbed it against my skin to wash away the dirt. I put the soap bar back on the soap holder and rubbed my body to let the water wash away the soap.

I nearly winced when I touched my shoulder. Butch's name was still on my shoulder so the mark still remains there. The girls and I thought that they would vanish once Keon is gone but it looks like they aren't fading away. Since they won't go away, we cover them so no one would see them and if anyone asks, its a fake tattoo with the names of our boyfriends' on it.

I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower as I dried myself off with a fluffy towel. Since its been so long ever since our ghost friends vanished, we haven't seen Jay-zen after the ball. I still wonder who that boy was whom she danced with at the ball but I decided not to think about it since it probably isn't my business.

I finished drying myself off and put on my pajamas which consisted of a light green t-shirt with the peace symbol on it, black pajama pants, and my night hat. I exited the bathroom and went inside my bedroom. I turned off the light and got inside the covers of my bed. I closed my eyes and decided to let sleep take over me.

Kaoru's dream:

I opened my eyes to find myself wandering around a grassy field that stretched for miles. I was still in my pajamas and the sky was clear blue with no cloud in sight. Strange, I would always have these dreams where I walk around trying to find something but I couldn't find anything here. Why can't I dream of something else besides this?

"Kaoru-chan"

I whipped my head around to see who whispered my name. There wasn't anyone around here within a 5 mile radius so who's calling out my name?

"Kaoru-chan"

The voice sounded like it was behind me but I turned around and no one was there. What the heck is happening here and who keeps calling out my name!?

"Kaoru-chan"

"Whoever you are, show yourself! I can't find you anywhere!" I yelled, hoping this person could reveal his or herself to me.

"Kaoru-chan"

The voice started to become louder and louder and I looked everywhere to see where its coming from. Why can't this person just tell me who he or she is!? Suddenly, I felt someone stroking my cheek and I quickly turned around to meet a pair of forest green eyes.

"Kaoru-chan"

My eyes widened at his appearance. He wore a dark green button up gothic style sweater with a few buttons undone showing off his abs, dark ripped jeans with chains hanging from the pockets, black biker shoes with a metal skull on each side of it, and his hair was in its usual ponytail but spikier though.

He had this silver chain necklace wrapped around his neck with the charm shaped like a diamond with a jade gem on the center thats also shaped like a diamond. There were some weird symbols on the outer surface of it and the gem looked like it was glowing me making me feel drawn to it. I felt him cup my cheeks with his hands and his thumb gently stroked them.

"I missed you, my buttercup" I heard him whisper.

"Butch" I whispered. "Where did you and your brothers go?"

"You'll know soon enough" he answered. "For now, let me tell you something"

He moved his hands from my cheeks down to my shoulders where he pulled one of my sleeves down to reveal my bare shoulder where the mark is. His finger traced the mark where his name is causing me to shiver from his touch and the mark started to glow in its respective color.

"Kaoru-chan, this mark symbolizes that I chose you as my lover" he explained. "Meaning that you're my chosen soulmate"

Wait, what? He chose me as his soulmate? What the heck!? I thought it was just a mark that'll go away soon but how can it symbolize that I'm his chosen soulmate and lover!? Well it did appear back in the haunted mansion when he forced himself on me but how am I his soulmate when we just started dating a month ago!?

I couldn't think of anything else as I felt something press against my lips. I gasped and realized that Butch was kissing me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to deepen the kiss causing me to sigh and wrap my arms around his neck so I could kiss back. I hate to say this but I really missed kissing him including his warm touch. I even hated it when he tried to act like a pervert towards me but I didn't mind at all since he's my perverted boyfriend.

The kiss lasted for a few minutes until we parted to breathe but he still kept his grip on me and leaned towards my face for our foreheads to touch each other.

"I love you, Kaoru-koi" he whispered in a husky tone.

"I love you too Butch and don't call me koi" I whispered with a slight threat.

"I think it suits you well since you're my lover" he chuckled.

"It still feels weird to me" I answered.

"You'll get use to it" he smirked.

He planted a warm kiss on my forehead and he slowly started to fade away including the background. Hold on, where is he going!?

"Don't go, Butch!" I cried out to him.

"I'll be back soon, Kaoru-chan. You'll find me real soon" his voice echoed.

He vanished including the background right after he mouthed "I love you" to me and I was now slowly starting to wake up because I knew this was all a dream.

End of Kaoru's dream:

I gasped as I shot up from my bed and panted to regain my breath. My heart was pounding against my chest as I tried to calm myself down. Butch was in my dream and not only that, he and his brothers are okay and alive. But where was he anyways and when did he became so hot in his outfit? Wait a minute, did I just call him hot? Okay! I'm definitely hallucinating because I would never think of Butch as hot even he looked fine with those mu- Dang it Kaoru! Get a hold of yourself!

I quickly shook my head to get rid of that thought and tried to remember from the dream. After meeting him, he told me that the mark on my symbol symbolizes that I'm his chosen soulmate because it recognizes me as his lover. Not only that, it glowed when Butch touched it and I think the gem on his necklace glowed as well. I wonder where he got that necklace because I don't remember him ever getting that necklace or that gothic outfit he was wearing. Either way, I wished he would drop me a hint on where he could be. How am I ever gonna find him now?

I sighed and laid back down on my bed as I turned my head to see what time it is. 4:15 a.m. and I'm wide awake from what happened. I wonder if the girls have that same dream like I did with their counterparts? And if the boys are together then where could they be? There's no way they could be at the haunted mansion because that place disappeared when it got swallowed up by the portal.

Since their clothing indicated that it looked gothic, they must be somewhere thats abandoned and where no one would ever go but where? I guess I should wait till morning and ask the girls about it but at least we know that the boys are healthy and safe wherever they could be.
