Random thought… What would have happened in the show if Chase had ever tried to make Kimiko evil…? I mean… He never did anything with Kimiko, and she never turned evil, I just think it'd be cool…

Remember the Times…

Chapter 3

Chase had just finished telling Kimiko about what he had seen. Kimiko could hardly breathe. She had been attacked by Dyrus? And the guys hadn't even looked for her? Why not? Hadn't they been worried? Had they not cared about her?

Tears began falling from her eyes again; she couldn't imagine why the guys hadn't tried harder in searching for her.

Kimiko sat in Chase's throne; sobbing. Her friends had given up on her. And because of that, she was now 700 years in the future, stuck with the man she hated more than anyone as her only friend.

Chase was incredibly awkward when it came to comforting someone who was upset, but if he was going to get anywhere with her, he'd have to try. Chase managed to place himself on the throne and pull her inot his lap; he gently began stroking her hair, hoping she would calm down at least a little.

Didn't happen. If anything, Kimiko seemed evn more upset now that she had someone holding her. Kimiko continued sobbing, but now she was sobbing into Chase's armor.

"Will you stop crying?" Chase scolded her, "You're practically rusting my armor here…"

Kimiko looked up at him and sniffled, tears still running down her cheeks. Chase was scowling at her, but that only made it worse; she began crying harder.

Chase groaned; he had made it worse. She continued crying into his chest for a good hour longer before she finally ran out of tears to shed.

"Better?" he asked, annoyed. Kimiko rubbed her red eyes and nodded silently. Chase looked at her; what had happened to the girl he had come to know all those years ago? The girl in fornt of him was battered and broken, not the normal strong girl he remembered.

Chase picked her up, carrying her bridal style to one of the pools of water in his palace. He set her down next to it and sat next to her.

"Take a look," he said, motioning to the pool of liquid glass, "what do you see…?"

Kimiko peered over and saw her reflection. She whispered with a sniffle, "I see me."

"I don't," Chase stated blandly. Kimiko blinked and looked hurt by that comment, but Chase continued, "I see a broken Kimiko. Not the Kimiko I remember and the Kimiko that you say you are… Now, if you want to get back to your time, you're going to have to pull yourself together and show me that the girl I remember is still in there somewhere…"

Ending it with a quote… Don't care. Just am. I'm contemplating redoing my Night Terrors chapter 8… I feel like I messed it up… Oh well…
