Chapter 9: Secretly loving you, still stuck, a village?


"Do you really think they will make it back?" said a guy worrying like hell.

"Well I hope so, I do know that if they don't work out their problems they won't come back" said the other guy looking out of the window.

"What do you mean with won't come back?" said the first guy, knowing what the other meant but hoping it wasn't true.

"The same thing you're thinking. If they don't work out their problems they won't come back...ever again... the only way to come back is if they solve everything together" said the second hoping they would come back.

"But for know I can tell that it may take a while for them to get back" said the second as he sighed. He knows how stubborn those children are.

In the sky you could see the planets. All of them shined bright. The beach was abandoned. Well except two figures that just stranded at the beach. They just seemed to wake up.

"Natsume (cough) I (cough) swear (cough) the next (cough cough) time (cough) you do t-that (cough cough) I (cough cough cough) will m-make (cough) sure (cough) that you (cough cough) drown (cough cough cough)" said mikan while coughing.

Natsume breathed heavily as he glared at her. "You (pant) wanted (pant) to (pant) be in (pant) there? (Pant)".

"Whatever, let's go (cough cough)". Said mikan as she pulled natsume up. Mikan and natsume looked at the scenery in front of them, their eyes widened.

"Natsume...if I am not mistaken there was supposed to be a castle here right?" said mikan as she looked at the village a little further than them.

"I thought so to...wait isn't it there" said natsume as he pointed at a small castle like shadow in the distant... all the way back of this planet, strange enough to be called the moon.

"I am still not used to the idea that I am not on earth" said natsume as he sweAtdropped. Mikan giggled.

"Don't worry look it's there in the sky" said mikan as she looked at the sky. "That makes it only worse" said natsume as he sweetdropped again.

"Natsume, doesn't our planet looks so fragile...it's so small if you look at the other planets. It looks so easy to harm...but for some strange reason I don't think it would need help from any other planet" said mikan as she looked at the earth.

"it does look fragile, but that doesn't mean it won't have to accept help...our planet is strong but even stronger with help...it carries all the troubles in the universe, no other planet can compare to it, but still... you can't survive by yourself." said natsume as he thought about how silly this conversation is.

"But sometimes doing everything by yourself is better than counting on others" said mikan knowing where this conversation is heading.

"By accepting help from someone you just know?" said natsume.

"This isn't about the earth anymore is it" said mikan looking at him. "Let's go we have to reach the castle again" said natsume as he walked towards the village.

"Running away?" said mikan not moving from her spot.

"I am not running away and what is left to talk... you're the one who broke up. You're the one who doesn't want us to be together" said natsume sarcastically as he turned towards her.

"It's not that I don't want but it just that –" natsume cut mikan off.

"You can't right? That what you wanted to say...I get it mikan you don't want, you can't...let's just drop the subject" said natsume as he walked towards the village.

"No natsume you got it wrong it is just that I love you too much to lose you for the second time" mumbled mikan softly as she wiped the tears away and ran after natsume.

"It's you" said sumire as she placed a hand over her mouth. "Ryuu... what's the meaning of this" said sumire as she looked at him and the others.

"It was part of the plan, you 5 girls falling in love with us and those guys jealous...breaking you apart was a part of our plan. We had to make the 'warriors' weak" said Akira as he smirked.

"we couldn't break you apart totally. You were still in little groups... but it was all planning out" ryuu said as he smirked.

"so everything was fake" said Sumire hurt because she felt being betrayed for the second time.

"Well not all. We figured out that being with you girls wasn't that bad...but know you know our plan we can't let you and him leave this place" said yuki.

"I am out of here" said sumire as she walked but got a shock and fell on the ground. "What the hell?" said koko as he tried to touch the barrier.

"Remember my alice" said Ryuu as he walked up to sumire. (He can enter the barrier).

"Don't worry sumire-chan I really do love you" said Ryuu as he gave her a kiss on the lips but she gave him a slap.

"Don't touch me" said sumire as tears fell from her eyes.

"Aww don't be like that" said Ryuu and was about to give her an other kiss but koko stood in front of sumire. "Don't touch her" said koko coldly.

"How long will it take to get down there if we are in the castle" said nonoko as she looked at the height they were.

"Really long..." said yuu but suddenly he smirked. "What are you smirking about?" said nonoko as she raised an eyebrow.

"Gather all the knives and forks from the table" said yuu as nonoko went to the table to gather it. Yuu walked to the chairs and pulled all ribbons of the chairs and tied them to 2 big ropes. He ran to the window and grabbed the curtains and tied the rope to the end of the curtains.

"We are going to go from the window down there" said yuu. "No way! You want me dead?" said nonoko as he rolled his eyes.

"We are going, it will take too long if we try to find it from inside the castle" said yuu as he tied the rope around his waist and the other around nonokos waist.

"We will use the forks and knifes as climbing equipments" said yuu as nonoko gaped at him.

"No way that I will use a friggin fork to climb all the way down yuu" said nonoko as she looked at him. Yuu sighed and grabbed the forks and knifes. He walked to the window and started climbing out.

"Wait! You're going to leave me here?" said nonoko.

"I am not going to carry you, so hurry up and let's get moving" said yuu, you could sense the seriousness in his voice. Nonoko didn't talk back this time she did as he said and climbed after yuu out of the window. As further as they climbed down they didn't notice the rope they made was slowly falling apart until nonoko lost her balance.

"nokoko!" yelled yuu as he grabbed her hand. Both of them hang there until yuu felt his rope loosen to. Yuu pulled nonoko up and hold her waist.

"We have to hurry this rope can't hold us both" said yuu as nonoko nodded and the climbed down as quickly as possible until the rope fell apart and both of them fell all the way down...

"Great we don't even know how we got in" said Anna as she kicked a box out of the way.

"Chill...we didn't got zapped in here...or did we?" said mochu a little confused. Anna rolled her eyes.

"Of course we got zapped in here. We didn't walk in" said Anna losing her patience. As Anna said that there was a sound of a door opening behind all the boxes. Mochu looked at her and smirked.

"Shut up" said Anna as she walked in front. "but I" said mochu but Anna interrupted him.

"I said shut up" said Anna as mochu shrugged and they both walked towards the sound the just heard.

"I didn't know that a storage could be so big" said Anna as she looked around and tripped.

"...ow...my ass" said Anna as she stood up with the help of mochu.

"You trip over anything, don't you" said mochu as he smirked. Anna blushed as she dusted her clothes and walked further. After a long silence between them mochu talked.

"So...do you and kai have a relationship?" said mochu uneasily.

Anna closed her eyes. "It doesn't concern you" said Anna as she kept heading forward. Hoping not to see his pained face.

"It does concern me" said mochu silently. Anna stopped in her tracks and faced him.

"It does? Since when do you care about what I feel... mochu there is no me and you... and I don't know if it ever will be, being this guardian changed everything, we were never in a serious relationship! Do you really think there is a future for us?..." said Anna as she looked at the ground.

"So...everything was fake? Your love for me was fake?" said mochu as he forced her to look in his pained eyes.

"mochu just drop it... I don't want to talk about it. I will continue my relationship with kai as for you should go hang out with whoever you want".

"We can be friends right?" said Anna as mochu let her go. "No... We can't" said mochu as he walked further without her.

"God! I don't want to be stuck here, this awful planet" mumbled hotaru as she sat on the grass. Ruka sat next to her.

"So what is the plan? Sit here the rest of our lives or go looking for the others" said ruka as he faced her. Hotaru smiled.

"What do you think?" said hotaru as she got up and helped ruka up. Hotaru and ruka walked nest to each other in silence. Till hotaru kind of mumbled/sang her fave song.

"I had to go all the way around, I had to go all the way around, Just to figure out how to get back where I started from, I had to search higher and low, I had to search everywhere to know, that everything I wanted was what I had" sang hotaru quietly.

"You still like that song" said ruka as he smiled slightly.

"Yep… I tell what I feel right now" said hotaru as she started again.

"and the trouble with the truth that you face, is that you're, haunted by all your mistakes, and now I'm callin' out, callin' out, but you can't be found, can't be found, those nights those days will not be replaced, when I throw them away" sang hotaru a little more.

"Hotaru… what are you gonna do after this war is over…" said ruka as he looked straight ahead.

"What do you mean" said hotaru as she tried to sound like she heard a joke.

"You're going to pretend like this didn't happen? That you and me didn't exist?" said ruka as he halted.

"I didn't say that… it's just that I want you to be serious when we will have our chance back" said hotaru a she looked at the ground.

"So I am not serious enough? So If I jump off a cliff or something…you would take me seriously?" said ruka as he walked over the edge of the hill. He was ready to jump as hotaru pulled him back.

"bakaa! Do you wanna get killed?" said hotaru as she pulled him back. He looked straight in her eyes

"I would do anything to prove you that I am serious". Said ruka as hotaru turned her head away and walked further.

"Ruka not now, we will talk about this when this all is over" said hotaru as she walked over the field.

"Hotaru don't you walk a-" said ruka as hotaru interrupted him. "Ssshttt look" said hotaru as she pointed at 2 distant figures.

"Who is that girl?" said ruka as the slowly walked forward without disturbing the flashbacks. As hotaru and ruka walked forward they crouched to the ground.

"Ne, do you think we can be together" a 16-years old girl said.

"We would always be together, you know that." a guy said.

"But mommy said that I am going to marry a prince" said the girl.

"I promise that we will always be together in every lifetime. My destiny is you and only you" said the guy as he gave her a kiss.

"That is the most romantic thing he said, wait who is he?" said hotaru as she looked at ruka.

"I honestly don't know, but we have to find the others right now or we are all stuck here" said ruka as hotaru nodded and they started walking. As they kept walking they saw small houses.

"Is that what I think it is?" said hotaru as she looked wide eyed to the houses.

"I think so…what do you think it is?" said ruka as hotaru sweet dropped. "A village idiot" said hotaru as they started walking.

"Wow, everything is left the same, all the shops are open and the market is left the same" said hotaru as she examined everything around her.

"Hotaru look" said ruka as he pointed at the poster stuck on a wall. On the poster you could see two people in wedding clothes.

"We welcome everybody to the wedding we've all be waiting for" read hotaru.

"What is the date?" said ruka as he looked at the poster.

"It is… 1 Martius …year zero? Is that possible?" said hotaru as she looked at the poster.

"I don't know, but what is the date today?" said ruka as hotaru looked around for the date… I don't know" said hotaru.

"I know…" said ruka as he pointed at the big clock in the middle of the village. "What does it say" said hotaru as she tried to read.

"It says….48 hours left?" said ruka as he looked confused. "Someone doesn't want us to leave alive" said hotaru as she looked around.

"We have to find the others and leave this place" said ruka as hotaru nodded. Suddenly they heard whispers everywhere, they became louder and louder. Ruka pulled hotaru and they started running. Suddenly ruka stopped. There was a little girl standing in front of him.

"Who are you" demanded ruka as the girl just smiled, hotaru walked towards her and kneeled.

"Can you help us? We have to find our friends" said hotaru as the girl looked at her and ruka. She turned around and walked away. Hotaru pulled ruka to walk.

"I don't trust her" said ruka as hotaru sighed.

"I am not asking you to, but we have just 48 hours to get here out…alive" said hotaru as she looked at ruka. Ruka sighed and grabbed hotaru's hand and they walked behind the girl.

"I hope we find them before it is too late" said hotaru as ruka nodded.
