Chapter 2 secrets revealed
"So Kiera…" Gene teased "You and Nero, have been hanging out quite a bit lately, huh?"
Kiera blushed faintly. "The teacher assigned me to show him around Gene, nothing more."
"Yeah…like 3 weeks ago." Gene scoffed. "Face it Kiera. You've got the hotts!"
"N-no I don't…" Kiera protested her innocence.
"Don't deny it Kiera!" Gene said grinning evilly. "I've seen the way you look at him, and I know he likes you…"
"You are mistaken." Said Kiera pulling her nightgown over her head. She had to be. There was no way he could like her, not when there were so many prettier girls at school. What could he possibly like about her?
"He can't ever stop watching you…" Gene told her softly. "He wants you to like him."
"How do you know…" asked Kiera sadly. "Shinobu…"
"The hell with Shinobu!" Gene said angrily. "He doesn't even look at her Kiera…did you know he is failing math?"
Kiera shook her head silently asking what that had to do with anything.
"He watches you constantly. If you ask me, you should offer to help him 'study…'" Gene grinned wickedly as Kiera blushed.
"Gene…" she said. "I don't know…"
"Kiera, just go for it…" Gene told her firmly. "Tomorrow, there's no school. Go to the library, he studies there." Gene told her.
Kiera glanced at Gene suspiciously. "How'd you know…?"
"Like I said. He likes you." She smirked. "He told me that if I wanted to, to tell you where he was. When I was there returning your books and I saw him…he asked about you…"
Gene grinned to herself as she pet Kyo, who was playing with a fringe on her blanket. 'Kiera likes him.' She thought to herself, shielding her thoughts like they had practiced. She could tell. The way she denied it was funny, yet sad. She was hiding inside herself, 'She doesn't think he likes her.' She thought sadly.
Kyo meowed softly chewing on Gene's shirt sleeve. Gene maneuvered Kyo's claws and teeth from her shirt and climbed under the covers. Listening to Kiera's thoughts and grinning to herself. Kiera had to go to the library tomorrow anyway. She had books to return.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next morning Kiera sat upright in her bed. Images still spinning in her head. She had the dream again.
Gene glanced at her. "Kiera?"
She looked at her. "Gene…I had the dream again…"
"So did I, what of it?" Gene said,
"Well?!" Kiera asked.
"Well what?" Gene asked slightly confused.
"Did you see the boy?"
"What boy?"
"The one in the shadows. When the lady is talking she speaks to him." Kiera said. "He looks like…" she stopped, her eyes widening. She replayed the scene she had witnessed the first day she had met Nero. She saw again the boy from her dream and the one from her vision.
'What the?' Thought Gene to herself as the images spilled into her mind from Kiera's mind. No wonder she was acting weird lately. If I saw those images, and then the dream, "Damn I'm confused." She said to herself.
Gene was snapped from her reverie as Kiera threw on her shirt and ran out. She grinned. 'Your welcome.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What am I doing?" Kiera asked herself aloud on the way to the library. What Gene had said, she didn't really believe her did she? She was just joking right?
For a few minutes she walked without thinking. Up ahead she saw the library. "Well, I'll just see if he is there…" she thought aloud again, even though she knew the answer in the back of her mind.
As she neared the library, she felt like she was being watched, and before she could say a word, she felt a searing pain in her right arm as she was pulled down a side street, a hand covering her mouth.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nero was sitting on the floor of the library, a reference book in his hand, when he felt a sharp, deep pain in his arm. He looked at it, as if checking to see what had happened. He saw a mark appear on his skin, followed closely by another.
His eyes widened with shock, realization, anger, and then fear. 'Kiera…' He immediately dropped the book and struggled to his feet. His voice came out raspy. "Hold on…" He rushed out of the library, following the pain in his arm as it became steadily stronger as he ran.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tears were falling down her face as they held her against the wall. They held her face and forced her to watch them carve into her arm. Through her tears and silent crying, she saw a blur and a reddish glow.
She suddenly felt safe. Which was rather weird, seeing as the men still had the knife against her skin. As her eyes cleared, she heard a voice speak.
"Let. Her. Go." Nero said, his eyes glowing an evil shade of red.
"And if I refuse…" Said the man still holding Kiera. "If I chose to…" he let his voice trail off as he placed the blade against her throat, with just enough force to prick her skin, drawing a thin line of blood.
Kiera gasped in shock and pain, further infuriating Nero. In another blur, he grabbed the second man, his hand tightening around his neck, cutting off his air supply. "Let her go. Or this man will no longer have vocal cords." To make good on his threat, Nero raised his other hand and racked his nails across the man's jugular, causing blood to flow.
The man holding Kiera hesitated for a moment. But a moment was all Nero needed. And in a burst of speed, Nero leapt forward.
Kiera felt strong, but gentle arms wrap around her, pulling her against a warm chest. And upon hearing softly murmured words of comfort, she relaxed and heard a yelp of pain, and the sound of a body hitting the pavement.
She tried to look, but Nero refused to let her. He scooped her into his arms, and walked to the end of the alley. Upon his request, she closed her eyes and held onto him tightly.
For a few short moments, she felt weightless. Opening her eyes, she found that they were on the roof of a nearby building. He set her on her feet carefully, and gently lifted her arm and examined it with growing concern.
Kiera's tears had stopped. She looked at Nero, watching as he gently cleaned the blood from her arm. 'He has tears in his eyes…' she noted to herself when he looked at her.
"I'm sorry…" he said as a tear escaped his eye and trailed down his face. "They hurt you…and I…" he stopped, his voice cracking.
"It's ok." She said comfortingly. "You saved me. They might have killed me and you…you saved my life." She reached out and touched his face, tilting it up to look into his eyes. "Thank you."
His breath stopped, caught literally in his throat. For him, time seemed to stop when she gently lowered her lips to his. When she kissed him, he felt comfort, and warmth spread through him. He brought his hand up, and entwined his fingers into her hair.
He didn't want the moment to end. For at that moment, he felt as if time itself had stopped. At that moment he wanted nothing more than to stay like this.
She slowly touched his cheek and said, "They might have killed me…" Her eyes bore into his. "And you saved me…" She lowered her face to his before softly whispering, "Thank you."
She brought her lips to his softly. Her heart was pounding in her throat. She could hear it, and she briefly wondered if Nero could. She gasped softly as he pressed his lips to hers more firmly; bring his hand to the back of her neck, sliding his fingers through her hair.
He brushed his tongue over her lower lip asking permission. And she opened her mouth granting him access. He slowly slid his tongue into her mouth gently stroking and teasing her own with his. She murmured his name into his mouth. 'I never want this to end…' she thought to herself.
He smiled when she whispered his name against his lips. He stroked her cheek with his thumb, before sliding it down over her neck to rest on her shoulder, before jerking away sharply.
He saw the confusion and hurt in her eyes. He held up his hand to show her the blood. "Um…you're bleeding…" he said apologetically.
He cleaned her neck as best he could without hurting her. When he was done he kissed her forehead. "Common…" he said. "Lets get you home." Sweeping her up into his arms, he told her to close her eyes and hold on.
She slipped her arms around his neck, burying her face in the crook of his neck. "I'm ready." She told him.
He leapt, and she felt the feeling of weightlessness once again, before feeling him touch down on the ground. Setting her on her feet, he took her hand in his own. Upon realizing she was cold, he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You don't need to do that." She protested.
"I want to." He said smiling, once again taking hold of her hand. They stopped at the library just long enough to return her books and pick up his stuff.
When they got to Kiera's house, she invited Nero in, but he politely refused. "I need to be getting home myself." He said, raising her hand to his lips, kissing her palm. "I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Until then…" he said leaning in to lightly brush a kiss over her lips. He left.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gene watched him leave, a wide smile on her face. So, she'd gotten through to her sister after all, and she went to see him. And from that parting kiss he'd given her, it had ended well. She sat down on her bed and listened for Kiera's footsteps.
Kiera closed the front door, and glancing around her, made her way down the hall and up the stairs. She went into the bedroom.
"Hey Kiera."
"Hi Gene." She replied opening drawers and pulling out a nightgown. She headed into the bathroom, locking the door. She proceeded to take a wet washcloth and clean the blood completely from her arm. She grabbed the peroxide and poured a small amount on her cuts, crying out as she did so.
"Kiera?" Gene's voice called through the door. "You ok?"
"Yes. I'll be out in a minute Gene." She answered wincing. She looked into the mirror and cleaned her neck. When she was done she changed into her nightgown. She tossed her shirt into the garbage, along with the washcloth, for they were ruined with her blood.
Opening the door, she saw Gene was waiting for her, with a huge grin on her face. "I saw you with Nero." She said.
"Did you?" asked Kiera with a smile.
"He kissed you." Said Gene, pointing out the obvious.
"He asked me if he'd see me tomorrow…" began Kiera happily.
"Well!?! What did you say!?!" asked Gene impatiently
Kiera grinned, the answer evident in her eyes and smile.
Gene smiled back. "Well good for you!" her smile was erased as she caught sight of her sisters arm. She had tried to hide the bandages with her sleeve.
Kiera looked down at her arm, and hastily tried to cover it.
"What happened!?" Gene exclaimed at Kiera, angry that she had tried to hide it.
"Nothing…" she attempted.
"Don't give me that crap Kiera. Now what happened?" she snapped.
Kiera sighed and told her sister what had happened, leaving out the part where Nero had cut the man's throat, and jumping to the roof. She then told her that he had cried for her and cleaned her arm as best as he could, and how he gave her his coat. At which she gasped and ran down to the living room to retrieve it before their parents found it and wondered where it came from.
She sat on the end of the bed, still holding it.
"Kiera, there's something-"
"I feel…drawn to him." She said.
Gene started. "What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"Like when I'm around Nero, I feel…safe." She said clutching Nero's jacket. "When the man had the knife against my throat, and Nero got there…I stopped being scared. Like I knew that he wouldn't let him hurt me again." Her voice drifted off.
"Kiera?" Gene asked.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"There's something you're not telling me."
"What?" she exclaimed. "No…there's not-"
"Kiera." Gene stated. "I'm your twin. I know something is up. Now tell me."
Kiera sighed. When she had told Gene what Nero had done to the man, Gene gasped. "HE KILLED HIM!!?"
"Shhhh!!" Kiera scolded. "Not so loud!"
"He killed him!?"
"In my defense Gene…and he's not dead. He was knocked out." Said Kiera.
"Damn. Shoulda killed the bastard." Said Gene angrily. "I would have."
"Thank you Gene" said Kiera smiling.
"Thank Nero." Said Gene, grinning wickedly. "Maybe you should ask him to be your bodyguard." She laughed as Kiera sputtered. "Well. I think he's going to take it upon himself, so…" her voice drifted off. "Anyway…we have school tomorrow, so we better go to bed. You wanna be all rested up for Nero don't you." She sang while ducking to avoid the stuffed moose that Kiera threw at her. It landed in Kyo's bed.
"Hey…Gene?" asked Kiera.
"Yeah?"
"Where is Kyo?"
"Out hunting or something…I haven't seen him all day." Gene said confused. "He is usually home by now…"
"Well I hope he is alright…" said Kiera worriedly.
"Yeah…"
"Night, Gene."
"Night, Kiera." Said Gene, turning the light off, smirking as she saw Kiera. She had fallen asleep with Nero's jacket in her arms.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, Kiera awoke, with the remains of her dream fresh in her head. She was sure now. The boy in her dream, and the one from her vision were the same. And they both bore a strong resemblance to Nero, and upon telling Gene, she agreed with her.
"We should ask him about it." Kiera said.
"No." Gene said. 'You should ask him about it. I have detention remember?"
"Oh yeah…" said Kiera. "What did you do this time? Blow up the chem. Lab?"
Kiera's face turned white as Gene grinned. "You didn't did you Gene!?"
Gene raised her arm. "Guilty." She grinned. "Although it was a mistake though."
Upon Kiera's disbelieving look, she grinned. "Ok…so maybe it wasn't all on accident…but no one got hurt though…they should be grateful. Now they don't have to worry about spring cleaning."
Kiera laughed against her will. They heard a knock on the door and their mother opened it. "Hurry up. There's a boy downstairs waiting for you. Don't make him wait any longer." She closed the door.
"I guess that's for you." Gene said smiling.
"Um...yeah." said Kiera blushing.
"You go on ahead. It'll give you time to tell him…and some time alone." Gene said.
"Y-yes…but then you'll have to walk alone." Said Kiera, her face a bright red.
"Nah." Said Gene waving her hand at Kiera. "Besides, he's early. He probably just wants to spend time with you anyway."
Kiera nodded, seeing the logic in that. She quickly got dressed into a light blue shirt and black jeans. She grabbed a coat and left the room. Hearing voices in the dining room, she entered. She saw her father was giving Nero the third degree.
He turned to her. "Where's Gene, Kiera?" her father asked.
"She said to go on ahead. She wants to sleep in." Kiera told him.
Her mother looked disapprovingly at Nero. "So. Nemo was it?"
"It's Nero, mum." Said Kiera.
"Yes Nero…what ever possessed you to dye your hair like that?"
"MOM!!" gasped Kiera, "Don't talk to Nero like that!!"
"It's ok." He said touching her arm discreetly. "I just wanted to be different." He told her mother.
"Humph." Said her mother. "Well then…why does your beard-"
"MOTHER!!" exclaimed Kiera, angry at her mother. "We have to go." She took Nero by the hand, and led him out the front door without saying goodbye.
"It was nice to meet you!" called Nero back at the house. He grinned when he saw Kiera looking at him funny. "What?" he said. "If I'm going to be taking you out, I might as well get to know your parents. If only on a friendly level."
Kiera blushed at his statement of 'take you out.' "O-oh" she said.
"I see you still have my jacket." He said nodding at her.
"A-ah…yes…um… I can give it back if you-" she stampered.
"No. that's ok." He said smiling. "You hold on to it for me."
"T-thank you…" she blushed.
"No problem." He said taking her hand in his. They walked for a bit before Kiera broke the silence.
"Nero?" she asked.
"Yes love?" he answered smiling.
"Um…" She stampered, trying to think of what to say. "That first day…"
"Yeah. What about it?" he asked.
"When I first looked at you, I saw something." She said hoping beyond hope that he would believe her.
"Like what?" he asked interested.
"I saw…something that was like a kind of vision…" she said looking at him to see if he thought her crazy. When he nodded she continued. "I saw, a little boy and girl. They were in the woods. She fell down and hurt herself, and the little boy picked her up and carried her to safety."
"Yes. I saw it too." He agreed.
"Now…for as long as I can remember, Gene and I have had a recurring dream, exactly the same as each others. In it there are two little girls and a woman dressed like a priestess. The little girls look like me and Gene when we were young. So we figure that they are supposed to be us.
In the dream we were each given a necklace…mine was white, and Gene's was black. She said that a jewel would break and we would each have a piece of it, but for now it would be better if we didn't know about it. Then she said some strange incantation of some sort...and we wake up."
She paused to gage his reaction. His expression had not changed. She continued. "But for the past few months…the dream has been different. While the lady speaks with us…I noticed another person in the woods next to the house where she leaves us. It was a boy. The same one from the vision I had when we first met. It looks like you Nero."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kagome!!" a child's voice cried out. "Where are you going?"
"I have to go home Shippou. I have a test." Said Kagome.
"Does Inuyasha know?" asked Sango.
"If he doesn't know by now, then he probably never will." Said Kagome snarkily, hoisting her bag onto her shoulder.
"I see." Said Miroku.
"Kagome must still be mad at Inuyasha." Said Shippou, wisely to Miroku.
"Well running off to see Kikyo, probably wasn't one of his brighter ideas." He replied.
"I don't wanna talk about him." Snapped Kagome, angrily.
"But Kagome, don't you think you should at least talk to Inuyasha." Began Sango tentivly.
"I will Sango. I just need some time. And really guys, I'm late." She grinned at them. "I'll bring back goodies!"
Shippou cheered happily. "Kagome! Can I have some more of those color sticks?"
"Sure you can Shippou." Said Kagome, smiling at the child. With a final goodbye, she slid over the side and into the well.
They all peered into the well just in time to see a purplish light being emitted.
"She's gone." Said Sango.
"Back to her own era." Said Miroku.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Kagome arrived home, she ran into the house just long enough to switch her bags. Then she began the walk to school. As she looked up ahead, she saw another solitary student walking by herself. She ran to catch up. "Wait!" she panted. "Wait for me!"
Gene stopped and turned to see Kagome stop in front of her, gasping for breath.
"Thanks Gene." She smiled gratefully.
"You missed the test." Gene said, enjoying the look of shock on her face. "It was yesterday."
"But I had it in my date book!" she wined not noticing Gene's look of amusement.
"Oh and where the hells were you two weeks ago!" exclaimed Gene angrily. "We were short a team member in gym. We had to rely on Nero to help us win."
"Did you?" asked Kagome.
"Well yes…but that's not the point! If Nero hadn't been there, we would have lost." She snarled. "Because you weren't there."
"Who's Nero?" Kagome asked.
"Transfer student." Said Gene.
"I wonder if he needs help around the school?" Kagome said, thinking that should Inuyasha come for her, being seen with him would invoke his jealousy mode, and maybe then he'd be a little nicer.
"Leave him alone." Said Gene, reading Kagome's thoughts. Not knowing or caring who this Inuyasha was. "He's with Kiera. And I don't have any problem forcibly keeping you away, Kagome."
They walked in silence for a bit when Gene stopped walking and threw out her arm to keep Kagome from passing her. "What are you dong Gene?" she asked confused.
"Shut up! They'll hear you!" she hissed at her. 'Kagome always was an airhead.' Gene thought fondly.
She grinned to herself as she looked up the street. Kiera and Nero. She appeared to be telling him of the dreams and the vision. "He seems to be taking this fairly well." Said Gene peering into his mind, but withdrawing quickly. He always seemed to know when she was peeking.
"Who does?" asked Kagome.
"Look." Said Gene, exasperated almost to the point of screaming. "Either shut up or go a different way, because no one is going to go this way until they are done talking."
Kagome was used to Gene telling her to shut up, or to go away, so she wisely did as she was told. Gene Tomoya was no one to mess with. So she resigned herself to watching them. She blushed as she watched him lift her hand to his lips and kissed it before pulling her into his embrace.
She looked away at Gene. She was confused. Gene's eyes were…glowing red… no it couldn't be. It must have been a trick of the light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
He sighed, looking into her eyes. "Kiera-"
"You think I'm crazy don't you?" she asked scared of what the answer would be.
He smiled at her, lifting her hand to his lips and kissed her palm. Then he pulled her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him as well, holding on for reasons unknown to her. She felt that a lot lately, when she was around him. She felt like she could open up her soul to him. She told him so.
"I feel the same way, love." He said.
She smiled softly at the endearment, then, 'Get out Gene.' She felt Gene's immediate withdrawal from her mind.
"Kiera." She heard. She looked at Nero.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Your dream," he started, "I need to take care of something…then we, meaning me, you, and Gene, can sit down and I will explain everything to you…but I need you to trust me." He pulled back long enough to look into her eyes. "You'll have to believe me Kiera. I could never lie to you."
She looked at him, reading his facial expression. "I know Nero." She said smiling up at him. "I trust you."
The relief was evident in his eyes. Leaning down he gently pressed his lips to hers, afraid she would pull back.
She didn't say a work as she wound her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. After a few moments, they pulled apart and began the short walk to the school. He slid his arm around her waist, holding her to him as they walked.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Gene and Kagome finally arrived, Kagome went over to her other friends, and Gene went to see Kiera and Nero. Gene smirked as she saw their entwined fingers.
"What's so funny?" asked Nero with an equally wide grin.
"Oh, nothing. It's just that, without my pushing, you two might not have gotten together."
"Sure we would have." Said Nero. "It just would have taken us a little longer that's all."
Gene noticed Kiera's pleased smile at that comment, and sat down so that class could begin. This went by as smoothly as possible for Gene. 'Stupid math.' She said. Well at least Nero was getting some 'help.' Gene made a mental note to tease Kiera about it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
During lunch, Kagome sat with Gene, Kiera, and Nero. Kiera shifted restlessly, bored out of her mind. She turned to Nero. "Can we stop by the library before we go back to class?" she asked.
"Yeah." He said standing. He held out his hand to help her up. "We can go right now." He turned. "You guys coming too?" he offered.
Gene was about to decline, when Kagome stood. "Yeah. I need to copy some notes anyway." She turned to Gene. "I can copy your notes right Gene?"
Gene looked at her before sighing. "I suppose." She agreed.
As they walked down the street, they heard a voice calling, "Kagome!"
She spun around. It was Kagome's little brother, Sota. "What?" she asked.
He looked at the others, before pulling her down to whisper in her ear. "It's Inuyasha…"
"What!!" she exclaimed. "Why didn't you keep him at the house?"
"He ran off…" Sota tried to explain. "Don't be mad…"
"I'm not mad!!" she said looking extremely mad.
"He said something about bringing you back."
"I don't care! Find him and tell him I'm staying to take this test, whether he likes it or not!"
She stood and walked back to the others. "Sorry about that…lets go."
When they had all done what they needed to do at the library, Nero's arms were full of Kiera's books.
"You don't have to carry all of that…" she said.
"I want to." He replied.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After school, Nero had walked Kiera home. He told her that he would not be at school the next day. She asked if it was because of what he had to do. "Yeah." He'd told her, and kissed her before leaving.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Kagome entered her house, a very irate Inuyasha confronted her yelling, "What the hell were you thinking?! Who were you with?!"
"What do you mean what was I thinking!?" she yelled back. "'sides, you were too busy flirting with Kikyo to notice anyway!"
"Don't lie to me Kagome!" snapped Inuyasha.
"How am I lying?!"
"I can smell him on you!" he hollered angrily. "The scent of a demon! Of several demons, Kagome! They're radiating off of you!"
Kagome was taken aback. "I was at school all day Inuyasha, and the library." She said. "There's no way that I-"
He stopped, and smelt the air. "There it is again!"
"Huh?"
He ran outside and followed the scent into Kagome's backyard. "It's in the well!" he said grabbing Kagome, and jumping into the well.
When they climbed out of the well they heard Shippou's voice. "Kagome! Inuyasha!" he cried as he launched himself into Kagome's arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Did you guys see anything happen with the well?" asked Kagome.
"I did!" cried Shippou. "A man. I think he was a demon."
"Yes." Agreed Miroku. "He was very polite though."
"What did he look like?" asked Kagome curiously.
"He was about as tall as Miroku. He had purple and blue hair and strange markings on his face." Said Shippou cheerfully.
Kagome gasped. "That sounds like Nero!"
"Nero?" asked Inuyasha jealously.
"Yes. Nero. Kiera Tomoya's boyfriend!" she said snarkily.
"How did he get through the well?" asked Sango.
"I don't know." Said Inuyasha. "But if he is a demon, then he is up to no good. And I'm gonna find out what he's doing." He knelt down so Kagome could climb unto his back. And the set off in the direction that Nero had gone in.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nero snuck into the high priestesses house. He sat waiting. After a while he heard voices. Two women entered and stopped as they caught sight of him.
"Cara." He said.
"Nero." Was her reply.
"We need to talk. Alone. Now." He demanded, glancing at the woman.
She nodded, turning to the other woman. "I'll get back to you ok?"
The woman nodded and left.
Turning back to Nero, she sat. "What?"
"They've been dreaming. They saw me in their dreams." He said. "They are ready."
"How do you know? I was under the impression that I told you that you are not to have contact with them." Cara said rudely.
"I transferred and when the teachers assign you to-" he tried to explain.
"Oh don't give me that shit!" she spat angrily. "You're betrothed. I understand that for you, that is hard not to be around her…but you can't do anything until she has her memories back."
"No…you don't understand…their ready…"
"No they are not. I don't think that they are-"
"No! You're not ready!" he yelled losing patience. "If you won't tell them Cara, then I will!"
"You can't!"
"No! What I can't do, is stand there and act like we've not bonded!" He glared furiously.
"You have to send the pieces of the jewel. Those shards are the only things that will return their memories." He said softly, "Her memories…of what she is, her memories of me…and what we are together…"
She stood up. "I believe that we are done here." She said.
"Are you going to send the-"
"No I am not. When they are ready I will. But not yet." She glared at him furiously. "I want you gone when I return." She stormed out of the hut.
Nero sat, completely pissed off now. He stood and began to leave before something glinting caught his eyes. The shards. He walked over to the web like structure. He touched the shards, picking them up and placing them in the center of the dream web, and muttered a small binding spell. The shards glowed a bright pink, which slowly enveloped the web. When the glowing stopped the shards were gone.
He grinned, "Take that Cara." Still smiling he left the hut before she could return.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gene's eyes flew open, and she shot into a sitting position. She looked at Kiera and saw that she had the same expression on her face that she did. Neither noticed the faint glowing their matching necklaces. "I remember!!" they yelled in unison.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A/N lol. Cliffy. I love 'em. Sorry for the wait. So now they got their memories back.
