Here's the chapter! -sigh- what was i thinking when i thought that my writers block would just go bye bye on its own..i'm so far behind...
Disclaimer! I OWN NOTHING!! WHOO! Well, except for the plot but that's pretty much it. XD
Okay! now for the story!
Story so far: "If you want you could take a nap. Believe me for your first day here. It would be better." Moko suggested it with a look of you-are-going-to-do-it-don't-argue. Kyoko sighed and nodded sure then. She went to back to her room and put on a her pajama's. She crawled into the king sized bed and snuggled into the sheets. Oh, yeah. She was definitly going to get used to this.
Kyoko was walking through a forest. She new this forest, she didn't remember where though. She pondered where she could have found this place before when she saw a small lake with a smaller waterfall. She new this place. It was the forest before her dream but instead of being caught in a fight she was alone. She looked over at the rock wall and she noticed that the thing was still there. The man in the stone, he was still there. She walked around the pool a few times and noticed that she wasn't going to do anything. She sat down near the water and noticed that it was a clearer blue then before. She touched it and gasped. It was the man again. He wasn't in the stone he was in the pool. He stuck out his hand and grabbed hers. All he did was smile when he pulled her in but she didn't budge. Her legs were becoming stone too. She looked back and she saw her droppleganger. She saw her smirk sadisticly.
"I will finally have my revenge!"
Kyoko wanted to scream but she couldn't. Soon almost her whole body was becoming stone when she heard something in the distance. She looked up and looked around. She didn't know where it was but it was coming closer. Soon it sounded as if it was right next to her head and she was trying to scream to anything. Soon she heard her name. The voice that said it. It was Moko! She looked around where was she. She felt herself shaking. She didn't know why but she was just sitting there shaking. The stone that was growing around her body was falling off of her quickly. Next thing she knew she was free. She tried to stand but the man was still holding her hand. She tried to pull away but she couldn't. She finally did when her body shook one final time. The hand let go and she fell into a world of darkness. She heard her name again and she was shaken hard.
--
Kyoko blinked out of her dream, and found herself staring at Moko. She jumped up breathing hard.
"Ahh! Kyoko! Are you okay?"
Kyoko looked at Moko and gave her a salute.
"Huh? Me? Oh! I'm just dandy! It was just a dream!" She laughed a little nervously. She really didn't want to talk about it. Moko could tell.
"Um, well okay. If thats it...get ready for school. It starts in 20 minutes." Moko smiled to herself when she saw Kyoko jump up from the bed and started rushing around to get her uniform on. Moko left the room. "Hey breakfest is on the table. I'll wait for you in the living room." Kyoko paused in her rushing around and thanked Moko...then went back to more rushing. Moko smiled to herself and left the room. Kyoko got done in recorded timeing, thanks to her rushing, and looked at herself in the mirror. The uniform looked good on her. It didn't match her though. Like she was there but that was another person standing in the reflection.
'Maybe I'm not cut out for this..-gasp and shakes head- NO! I can't think that! I mean, my tuition is free here as long as I work in the Cafe and my family is proud of me! They are excepting great things from me and I can't let them down!' She breathed in and out deeply and streched. 'Okay Kyoko! Time to show these kids what ya made of!' She smiled at the thought and took a second look in her bag to make sure that she had everything. She put in her pencil case in and closed it. She took one last look at herself and walked out of her room ready for whatever today was going to bring.
"When did you learn how to cook like that Moko?"
"Oh, I caught on to a few things when I watched you cook things in Culinary class back at the old school."
Moko and Kyoko were talking on the way to the school. It was a man-made passage through the little forest border between the dorms and the school. It was a complete dirt pathway and Kyoko seemed to be more calm in there then she was in the room. Moko was filling her in on all the do's in don'ts in the school since she didn't get any rule book or some such. Kyoko didn't notice that they were already in the building and halfway to their class when she bumped into Shotaru Fuwa and his gang.
She looked up and her face did the 'ack' look. 'No! Not on my first day!'
Sho looked down on her and laughed. "What are you doing sneaking into this school like that?! I should blast you here and now you jealous bitch!"
Moko stood in front of Kyoko before she said anything and pushed him away. He fell to the floor as he looked up stunned at a very pissed off Moko. His group gasped behind him.
"Look ugly duckling, I'm saying this once and only once. Back off. You are a lower ranking than us so you better know respect before you ever talk to us agian got that?! MAGGOT!"
Sho took true to her warning but looked at Kyoko. "She is actually attending school here?"
Moko was about to say something but Kyoko caught on. They were already in their trainig clothes and they were in their uniforms. She shook her head so she could speak to Sho. If today she was to turn a new leaf, then she might as well start now. "Look Shotaru, I really don't have to answer to you. You are already in your gym clothes going to the trainging grounds sweating and practicing your already failing attempt to cast spells, warming up the field for us upper ranking's that are inside comfertably studying real material and focusing on real spells. You might seem that you are all that. But believe me." She stopped to lean a little closer and he froze. "Ever, call me a bitch again, or disrespect me at all, you will be flying to the moon. Understand? Underling Shotaru."
She used his real name that he hated so and the word underling. If anything she got him pissed off as well as scared. Moko and her walked off leaving a stunned group of stupid fools in the middle of the hall.
"Hey! Where did that come from?" Moko asked as she gave her a high-five.
"I don't know, but I just told him the truth I was realy getting sick and tired of him."
Moko shook her head. "No that's not it. I understood what you said, I meant the coldness coming from you. No offence but you seemed that you were a different person."
Kyoko slowed a little and looked back at Moko fully. "Really?"
Sho was in the training grounds trying to attempting a flash agaisnt a cardboard demon. He couldn't shoot straight at all, and he forgot most of the spell line's. He wasn't like this, what was bothering him so much? He took a break practicing and looked at his group who knew what he was going through.
"Hey!"
"What Shoko?"
He fidgeted before speaking. "You still thinking about her aren't you?"
Sho put on a look of shock and disgust. "HER! Eww, no!"
Zuta gave a pointed look to him. "Oh really? Well believe me, you aren't that strong to forget things like that. I mean where was the bubbly bright young Kyoko we used to know? Exactly! No where! That was a completely different person, like she was possesed or something."
Sho didn't say anything but inside, he agreed. That wasn't the weak Kyoko he knew. She never would have threatened him like that. That job was always for Moko, her best friend and protector. Kyoko was a sensitive person, she was too nice even to hurt a fly. He looked over back to the dummies and readied his hand to shoot another Cutana spell at it. He shook his head. He was going to get to the bottom of this. He hit the dummy right on target and he shook his head again trying to clear the fog in his mind. 'Why do I care!'
'Because you secretly love her and you know it.'
'No I don't!'
'Ahh, how do you know that? You have been blocking that feeling everytime you see her.'
'...really?'
'I should know man, I see an invisible key lock it away everytime then a sludge hammer to knock the barrier down when you see the next hot girl you see!'
"SHUT UP!"
'I will not! You will need to see it before some one else that is more handsome than you will steal her away..will you want that?!'
He was getting tired and pissed at this conversation.
--
Kyoko was in the middle of the Chemistry 4 when it happened. She was pouring a vial of a chemical into water to see it's reaction. When the chemical hit the water changed color and started to boil. Kyoko smiled at herself. The exeriment was a success. As she was writing her conclusion on her paper she heard a noise. A noise that she heard in her dreams, no nightmares.
Someone screamed.
She looked out the window and she saw body parts of demons and blood everywhere. The more she looked the more horror she saw. Then in the midst of this bloody plain she saw her dropple ganger shooting a monster then run off deeper into the forest. She lost all track of mind and Moko looked at her concerned.
"Hey! Are you okay?"
Kyoko snapped out of it and looked over at her worried-looked friend. She pasted on a smile. "Yeah! Yeah! I'm fine! Did you get the same conclusion?"
Moko looked at her but sweatdropped. 'Why do I feel that she is changing the subject on purpose?'
After half the day was done Kyoko was happy that she kept up with everything. She was coming out of the bathroom in study hall when she bumped into Yashiro.
"Ahh! Yashiro-sensi!" She bowed. "I never did thank you for getting me into this school."
Yashiro bowed slighty and smiled. "Oh you are very much welcome. I see that your first day here, well, the first half of your first day is going great?"
"Yes! It is!"
"Good! Now don't forget to that your its your first day at the cafe. Don't be late."
Kyoko nodded. "I won't! Thank you for reminding me!"
Yashiro nodded and saluted out. While he was rounding the corner Moko bumped into him. Moko fell and so did her books. Yashiro was taken back for a second and stuck out a hand. "I'm sorry are you alright?"
Moko rubbed her hand and was about to talk the boy out when she held eye contact with him. She just stared and her cheeks started to flush. "Um, uh..no I'm fine."
She stood up on her own and started to pick up her books and papers. He kneeled down and helped. They reached at the same paper and their hands overlapped. Both of their hearts skipped a beat and Moko smiled shakily and ran off with the paper.
"Thank you!" She called over her shoulder. Yashiro stared after her and smiled sweetly. 'I wonder who she was.'
"Hey! Moko? Are you sure you okay? Your cheeks are flushed."
"Yes! For the fifth time today! I am okay!"
"Okay then."
They were in the locker room changing into their gym clothes for that day. THey were going on a field expedition. Apparently a few demons have found a way into the human world and five high level prietess and priestestess were there to help them go after them. Kyoko was screwed. All she really knew what to do was throw out a power blast. But she didn't know how! Moko said she would help. But what if they get split from each other how is she going to get them?!
Their gym clothes for that day was black tough fabric shorts and shirts with silk under siding so it wouldn't rash the wearers. Their knee high boots were fitted to hike. They had hats but they were optional and since there was a small fog outside they didn't need it. Kyoko grabbed her flashlight and some weapons such as a fan and a sword. Kyoko wasn't exactly sure how to use them. And the bow! How the hell was she going to use this?! She packed the arrows and walked off after Moko.
All the students formed a tight half circle around the teacher that was doing the field test that day. The woman Ms. Anita was one of the high ranking priestestess. She smiled sweetly at them. "HELLO EVERYONE!!" They all looked at her like she was high. Which she was but that's another story. She looked at all the students and smirked all the while. "Hmm! Looks like a strong batch of people today! Woo!" Four other high rankers Yes, high rankers appeared and smiled. "They do look strong! Lets hope they can take on the demons we set loose."
One stepped up and smiled sadisticly. "Hey everyone. Da' name's Ginana and I'm here to tell you that those demons aren't made out of cardboard and plastic and explosive powder. THEY. ARE. REAL." She bowed. "Thank you!"
Anita smirked. "Okay! You all have 1 hour to destroy at least 5 demons. There is enough for each of you. Hope you all don't die!"
Kyoko and Moko looked at each other with concern. This wasn't going to end well.
Too bad they were wrong.
They started off and Moko was teaching Kyoko how to use her power. "Hey! Use this one!" She stopped infront of a demon with a thick hide that was like iron. Kyoko watched as Moko raised her hand and smirked.
"Water in heavens, Fire in hell, Make way for earthen skies! HUKADO #2 DRAGON BITE!"
Moko's hand glowed bright red, then shot out a power bolt. Smashed into the demons stomach and obliterated the demon. "Yes! Number three for me! Hey what about you Kyoko?"
"Um, still only 2."
Moko smiled and another demon like the last one came out of no where and was almost on Moko. Kyoko couldn't think. She pulled out a arrow and a bow. She aimed it at the moving demons head. "HUKADO #2 DRAGON BITE!" Without reciting it she let loose the arrow and it hit dead center. It disentigrated before it hit Moko. Kyoko jumped from the small rock that prutruded out from the ground and landed next to her. "Hey are you okay now?" Moko looked at her with surprise. "Um, how did you..?"
"I have no idea."
Moko smiled. "Okay. Well we are tied again." Kyoko nodded.
She helped Kyoko up and they continued on their hunt. Soon they were four, five. Moko was five. "Hahaha! I won!" Kyoko just looked away, and pouted. They stopped somewhere in the middle of the forest to heal Moko's wounds from the previous demon when Kyoko heard a scream. She looked around and smiled. "Hey! Moko. Looks like my last demon is here! Try not to get a green monster when I kick it's ass." Moko smirked. "Oh? Really? Okay then. Let me watch." She went a little off the ways and found a safe spot. Kyoko, noticing how good she was with weapons, took out her bow and arrows. She fitted one into her bow and looked around. 'So, where is that little demon?'
"Oh my! What do we have here?! Did the little girl grow a back bone? Oh my! She did!"
Kyoko's blood ran cold. The voice. She knew this voice. This voice, that damn voice. It was that creature! She needed to get Moko out of there. "MOKO! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!"
Moko looked at her. "Wha-?" The next thing any of them new Kyoko was watching Moko flying 25 feet into the air. She landed heavly infront of a startled Kyoko with a grunt. They looked up. Kyoko was right. IT was the snake demon!!
She picked up Moko. "YOU HAVE TO RUN!" They both started running away. Moko was scared that was true but she didn't know why they had to run. Moko turned and tried a spell. The spell just bounced off the skin of the snake. Moko wasn't scared. She was terrified. How was she to destroy such a monster?
Kyoko saw a turn in the forest. She pushed Moko away making her go the opposite direction. Moko gasped and hit the ground. She turned to Kyoko's retreating figure. "I'll be okay! The demon wants me! Not you! Just get out of here!" As soon as she said that she disappaered along with the snake demon. Moko stood up weakly. 'Oh no, what am I to do? What should I do?! Should I find the others? No, we don't want to make a scene..but Kyoko might die! Kyoko does know that she is going to the forbbidan part of the forest right? Oh Shit! I forgot to tell her that! They say that a..more dangerous demon is there! Oh no! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN' She jumped up and raced after them. 'I'm coming Kyoko!'
--
Kyoko was lost. She kept on running not caring about the signs along the way telling her to 'go back' and 'forbiddan area'. As long as Moko was safe she didn't can. She quickly took a left and hid behind a thick tree. The snake demon ran off in the opposite direction. Kyoko sighed. She was finally safe. When she turned around she was wrong. Dead wrong. In front of her were bodies of so many demons. Blood clinging everywhere. Kyoko fitted an arrow and walked forward, noticing how the blood seemed to entwine itself in the forest like a path. She followed until she heard gushing water. She stopped. Her breathe became shallow. No wonder she felt so curious as to follow the path. This was the same one like in her dream. Kyoko swallowed hard and willed her hand to push away the bushes. Her heart stopped. There it was the pool and the waterfall in all it's glory.
She walked around and looked down at the edge of the lake, sure enough, there it was, the symbol and markings. She was amzed that even though it was only made by her blood, it still was there, not faded, like it was just writtened. She looked down at the small but deep grove in the water and followed it to the little space behind the waterfall. Her heart had just regained beating when it stopped again. Kyoko froze where she stood. The statue seemed different than the one in the dreams. The wall structure looked more like a man than just a stone...thing that protruded from the wall. She walked back over to the symbol and sat down. She took out her book of spells and flipped through. "Sealing spells, sealing spells, ahh! Here it is. Bakudo 66. Black coffin gate. Wow. It has the title of Bakudo. It seems that my dropple ganger was very powerful if she was able to use this spell." She kept on reading aloud. Not knowing that the demon was looking for close by.
"The only way to release this spell is if the person that conjured it broke the seal, or another with the same level of strength and power." She looked up to stare at the statue. "Well he's screwed. I don't know anyone around her that can break the spell. I don't even think the High Ranker's would be able too. Sorry buddy."
Just as she stood up the statue's expression changed. It was now from dispair, to sad happiness. "Okay. Now that's just creepy."
"Kuoko"
Kyoko jumped as she heard a sound. She turned around and she screamed. The snake demon found her. "OH SHIT!"
She jumped out of the way and landed on her all fours a couple of feet away. "Huh? How did I do that?!"
The snake leered and opened it's mouth out came a beautiful woman. Kyoko thought she was a vampire. The woman sneered and took out a sword she killed the huge snake in too and it disintigrated. She licked her lips with her long tounge. "My, my my. It seems we have a priestess who doesn't know of the full extent of her power."
"What?"
"Lucky me. Now it will be easy to kill you and get that jewel from your heart."
"WHAT?!"
"Prepare to die. Priestess." The woman lunged at her with her sword. Kyoko jumped out of the way and pulled out her own sword from her backpack. She liked how nice if felt in her grip. Like it was made for her and only her. The woman sneered again. "Oh? You think you can take me? I don't think you can." She lunged again. "NOT IN A SWORD FIGHT THAT IS!"
Kyoko dodged again and swung. She got the woman head on. She cut her deep on her side as she went by. Woman touched her side to see the blood and she growled. "How dare you cut me?! THE MISTRESS OF SNAKES WILL NOT BE CUT BY MORTAL HANDS!"
With this she fought with new feroicity. Kyoko soon found herself with more cuts than she can handle and a stab wound to the shoulder. 'Damn, I, can't feel my arm."
"NOW PREPARE TO DIE!" The snake mistress jumped up and was about to finish the job when Moko came out from the forest with her own sword and blocked hers. The mistress gasped in surprise as Moko shoved the woman away into a nearby tree. "GO KYOKO! I CAN DEAL WITH THIS WOMAN!"
Kyoko was about to when she heard chanting she turned around to see the snake mistress call forth snakes from the forest. Moko stepped back and swung at the snakes but the more she killed the more, more would take it's place. Soon she found herself entangled in a web of hissing ropes. The mistress walked slowly to Moko. "Now it's time to finish this..AND GET THE JEWEL FOR MY OWN!!"
Time stopped. Kyoko looked around. She wanted to call for help. Help Moko. Her body wasn't responsive. She looked over at the statue. She knew that her dropple ganger made that symbol for a reason as betrayl..sounded like some jealous act to her. 'So, if I release him..maybe he could help!' She took a deep breathe and leaped to the symbol. "WON'T HURT TO TRY!" She raised her sword and cut at the symbol a milimeter away from it. "RELEASE HIM!"
Moko looked back at her friend and gasped. Kyoko looked different..as if she was in a tv when it has static Kyoko's body shifted from a imaged that would be burned into Moko's memory forever. Next thing she knew the snake demon was running at Kyoko.
""KYOKO! WATCH OUT!" Kyoko looked behind her and gasped.
"SHIT!" She completey destroyed the symbol now. Tears sprung from her eyes. "PLEASE HELP ME!!"
Soon enough, the stone statue was cracking..but to be more specific...opening.
