Me: Yay, another chapter! Thanks to everyone who reviewed and all that jazz!
Kai: Who's Celestin?!
Tala and Me: ...you gotta be kidding me
Disclaimer: See the last chapter (-shudder-)
Ian: Please R&R...where am I in this story?!
"But my name is-"
"Kai," Spencer repeated.
"No, it's Celestin," he said. Spencer stared down at him in disbelief, wondering what had happened to the keeper's apprentice.
"Your name is Kai. Kai Hiwatari," Spencer said. "You went missing from Celestin two years ago because of-"
"Celestin isn't a place!" Celestin said, shaking his head. It couldn't be...it wasn't anywhere on the maps...
"Well, yes and no. Celestin is an alternate dimension, another world, if you will," Spencer said. "You are the keeper's apprentice-"
"Hold up! I don't mean to be rude or anything but an alternate dimension?" the dual haired boy shook slightly. "Just who do you think you're trying to convince?"
"It's true," Spencer said. "You should come with me, Tala's been-"
"Who?" Celestin asked.
"You're lover. You must at least remember him, Master Kai," Spencer said.
"Oh, I get it... you're friends with Tyson. His idea of a joke... I should have guessed that he'd pull something like this sooner or later!" Celestin said.
"Master-"
"Save it!" Celestin said, running away from the giant. Spencer sighed and didn't try and follow.
"At least he remembers how to run..." Spencer sighed. "Now what am I going to tell Tala?"
"Where is he?" Tala shouted at seemingly nothing. Well, that's how it looked to the people who were sitting at the camp site. "It's been five hours!
"Four and a half, Tala,"
"Spencer," Bryan nodded to the taller man as he took a seat next to him.
"Bryan," Spencer said.
"So where were you?" Tala demanded.
"He though he saw Master Kai and went to investigate, boss!" Dimitri said, waving his hands up and down.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Tala growled.
"You told me to shut up!" Dimitri pouted.
"Why did we bring him along again?" Tala muttered to Bryan as he took the open seat on his left. "So any luck?"
"He has amnesia," Spencer sighed. "I told him about Celestin but he didn't believe me."
"He doesn't?" Tala whispered, mostly to himself. "What's the extent?"
"He doesn't remember anything about Celestin. Nothing in it, not his job, not us, and not his lover," Spencer told Tala pointedly.
"But Kai promised-"
"This isn't Kai, Tala," Spencer said. "He thinks his name is Celestin."
"Well I can see where he drew that conclusion," Bryan snorted. "We never did find that pendant you gave him."
"I figured it was with him," Tala shrugged, standing up and pacing.
"He doesn't even remember Tala?" Oliver spoke up. "That's one bad case of amnesia..."
"Thanks for stating the obvious, Oliver," Tala said sarcastically.
"Leave Oliver alone, Tala. You're going to have to figure something out," Bryan said.
"What do you mean?" Tala asked.
"You're going to have to choose," Spencer said. "You either let Kai live here, on Earth, as Celestin where he seems to have adapted alright or..."
"Or you did whatever the hell you did before to melt that iced heart of his and woo him all over again... but there is the chance that he never gets his memory back," Bryan said.
Tala sighed and closed his eyes as he leaned his shoulder against a tree.
"I'm going for a walk," he grunted after a minute or two. The others didn't try and stop him. They just watched his back as he disappeared into the woods.
"The nerve of that guy..." Celestin grumbled. "Alternate dimension! Lover? What the hell was Tyson thinking?"
"Celestin, what're you muttering about?" Rei asked sleepily.
"Nothing Rei. I'm going for a walk. Go back to sleep," he said.
"Kay..." Rei yawned, closing his eyes again. Kay. Change the 'y' to an 'i' and you got Kai... Celestin cursed silently and walked out of the house. What the hell was wrong with him? Why did he keep thinking about that blonde? He couldn't be telling the truth... could he?
"Dammit!" Celestin shouted once he was inside the forrest. "What the hell is wrong with me?!" A swing of branches and a loud thud from behind him made him freeze.
'Why'd I have to choose a night with a fright?' Celestin screamed silently in his head.
Me: ...Dun dun dun!
Tala: ...I'm not going to be apart of this after story talk insanity again...
Ian: Where am I in this?
Me: Somewhere. Please read and review and tell me what you thought!
