MOON SAYS: This is the final chapter, over 5 pages and over 2000 words! Hope you liked it and thanks for bearing with me. After this I will work on MMX's sequels (3, 2-chapter stories) then I will work on WDSRL, and do the final touches on Masks and A New Start.
(/\)
I think I can finally be happy, either that or have lots of fun.
Is It True Love
Chapter 9-The Palldium
To be honest, I know my father knew I would break off the engagement he set up. He knew Maora was gay. All my pain is that bastard's fault.
Last night was the best night ever! We had a fight or two but we partied mostly. I forgot everything. I remember now why I became a Yankee, it was because of this. The feeling like I belong. That and I forgot all my pain at the hands of my so called family.
These girls love me, they are my family. I shouldn't be upset about that gay asshole—no pun intended there. I never needed him. I still don't need him. I was so over that the moment I came to this party.
Cica told me I wasn't angry about him at all. My problem was that I was caught off guard. That was why I cried after I broke it off. When my guard is down I begin to remember, as I remembered my memories I cried. Wouldn't you?
See one of the things I pride myself on is my guard. No one ever has been able to catch me unawares…except for Shizumasa, damn him! He would always sneak up on me and startle me. I was mad at myself a little at how I let it down and cried.
But that was all. I am better now. Thanks to Cica for making me understand. Cica has always had the insight for feelings and causes of feelings—her words not mine. Now about that baka Maora, I knew if I saw him again it would be different. I knew he would come and apologize. I knew by now that my Taka snapped. It was just a matter of time before the little dipshit found me and wanted to talk and apologize. I knew I wouldn't let him, I hate apologizes.
I found out something that night, one of the girls (Boneko) had taken or rather kidnapped and held Dante hostage. Yes I said Dante my gothic hottie. Apparently she saw him with the enemy leader.
She was probably hitting on him—I would too…wait I already did. I set him free. Then as we started talking I find out that he goes to my school. No wonder he got invited. Kona and Kyria must have seen him there and gave him an invitation to my party.
I was surprised and I showed it, which made him shocked. He was used to the me—the Ice Princess who was the Empress at his school—at school that was emotionless so yeah he was shocked. I told him next time he came to school—when I was there—to come see me and I would put him on the my Student Council. We talked about that the rest of the night.
Then I had dreams about him. That dude is so becoming my…damn. I don't remember what rank it's called. Not Platinum like at Taka's school. Our ranks are way different. These are our ranks compared to their ranks.
Rank 1: Mercury : Gold
Rank 1: Palladium: Platinum
Rank 2: Zinc : Silver
Rank 3: Nickel : Bronze
Anyway now I am in my study. Dante is mingling with my Student Council. Two girls only, Taka has too many people in his.
Kyria is quiet, reserved but had a…weird sense of humor. When I said weird I mean very wicked and demented. She had light brown hair, which was medium length and went to about halfway down her back. It was straight, she couldn't stand curls. She's about 5'5 to 5'6 somewhere around there.
Mokona—Kona for short—was loud, outgoing, always trying to get into a fight with someone. She is the exact opposite of Kyria. She was my second in command when I was a Yankee. Now we are High School students who become Yankees on and off. Like last night for example. She has flaming red hair, as if she was a flame itself, it so matches her personality. About 5'4 to 5'5, just an inch or so taller then me, but hey we can't have everything we want in life can we?
Now there was Dante, who is my Palladium—and doesn't know it. I know weird rank. Whoever made up the ranks were deprived of something. Maybe a lot of things they were deprived of, life had to be one of them or a brain.
I think I could fall in love with Dante. Give me year or less and I could…no it would fall I love.
An image of him flashed before my closed eyes. Yes I was sleeping on the job, back to Dante! I licked my lips at his picture. But my image and daydream was interrupted by Kyria. Who if I didn't love I would have killed. She shut the door behind her quickly.
"Kona is holding him off, do you want to talk to him?" she asked me.
I was confused and showed it, I trusted her. When I trusted someone I showed them what I was feeling, I didn't have to guard myself around them. She and Kona were one of the few I trusted. My voice sounded confused, "Shizumasa?"
Kyria shook her head, I knew she had rolled her eyes, and by rolling her eyes I knew she was annoyed at me. "The gay teme!"
My eyes narrowed. It didn't get unnoticed by Kyria. "Send him in!" I commanded, but not to harshly. She understood that I was serious; I only 'commanded' things when I was serious and wasn't really thinking all the way through—narrow minded you could say. She knew I wasn't ordering her about.
Kyria walked out and brought him in. As he walked in he looked and surveyed the room. It was different then his Emperor's room. For one there was color in this one—dark of course. Unlike the room at his school, Maora saw that this one had a door—besides the entrance door. It was to my right, but to his left all the way in the corner or the other side of the room.
He guessed it was a bedroom. How did he know? The door was open and when he looked inside he saw a mirror and the mirror reflected a bed. So she slept here too? Thinking about what he had learned yesterday about her he would sleep at school too. He was drawn out of his musing by a voice, her voice.
"Is there a reason why you are here?" I asked there was no formality, no niceties, nothing other then a voice that was emotionless, hard, harsh and to the point.
He nodded, "I wanted to talk and say I'm so—" I cut him off; I so did not want to here this. And I said it too, no niceties there either,
"I so don't want to hear your apology. If you want to talk make an appointment. I have no time right now. Right now—before you came in—I was planning a ceremony for the Palladium…by the way would you go get him on your way out? After you talk with Kyria first," I smiled. I of course had thought of something. Kyria….
I saw the confused look on his face and heard it in his voice as he asked, "Who?"
"Her Palladium, it's the same thing as our Platinum. Basically the same thing, but different name, well there all guys of course, and the Platinum at our school is a girl. That's because we have Emperors, like this school has Empresses." Maora's Emperor said as he entered the room and walked over to me.
Maora was shocked. I smirked, "We are no longer engaged so don't you dare think I am a hypocrite. As I said, we are not engaged so this isn't cheating." I said bluntly and really to the point, I didn't dance around anything like most would have. You could also hear the smirk in my voice.
Maora nodded. "We do need to talk," with that said he left. I could hear him ask for Kyria. She knew what I had said, and scheduled him an appointment. Then when she was done Dante came in.
"That was mean Kari." Taka said, he tried to look mad but it didn't work. His eyes were laughing.
"What did she do this time?" Dante asked.
"She was playing with Maora." Taka replied curtly as he looked at me, his eyes narrowed.
Dante raised an eyebrow, "oh, who is Maora?"
"Ex-fiancé," Taka and I say at the same time. "Not by choice though," I covered for myself with my tone full of bitterness. I said it hoping it wouldn't have any effect on us.
We were about to explain to Dante when Maguri rushes in breathing hard. We all raise both of our eyebrows.
"We…broke…up." He said in between breathes, more like gasps. I bet he ran all the way over here when he heard Maora had left. To say we all were shocked was the understatement of the year.
I laughed after I got over my shock—which was quicker then the boys. They all looked at me though; a funny look ha covered their faces. "That explains things. " I sat and thought for a second about this new development. I then get the perfect plan, already set in motion too.
I clapped, which made them stare more. I also stood up, which made them take a step back. They took more steps back when I walked over to the doors and yelled, "KONA!"
She ran into my room so fast I swear she was on steroids. Which she wasn't, she didn't like the side effects. "Please do something about him!" I said. It sounded as if it was a command, but it wasn't. She knew me all to well. She grinned after she gave him a look. I knew that look, she was eye raping him…not raping…checking out.
After she dragged him out of the room we heard screaming. Screams as in OH MY GOD I AM ABOUT TO DIE screams. Dante and Taka give me a look after the screaming had died down.
I grinned a grin that cat from Alice and Wonderland would be proud of. "In ten minutes, find Kona. I bet you $300 that she will be making out with him.
They looked horrified, then confused. They asked me what about Maora. I then see a look on there faces. It was first scared because of what Maora might do—to anyone—when he found out about Maguri and then…I didn't want to know that look. I laughed to take my thoughts away from the look they gave me that I didn't want to know about and tell them that Kyria will have Maora wrapped around her finger before long.
I then changed the subject. "Dante we need to focus on something else. Since you are my only Council member that isn't…preoccupied I need your help setting up and planning for the next Ceremony."
He nodded and asked me what it was. I then proceeded to tell him about introducing him to the school. He then nodded at me again, "So this is to introduce the first man on the Student Council in God knows how long."
I then smirked and he caught it. "Kind of, you got half of it right. I will not be just introducing you as a Student Council member, but as my Palladium as well."
He gave me a look that, I thought it told me he was about to faint. Well, either that or he thought I was lying. I went over and kissed him. I knew this was going to be fun.
Moon: Well that is the end of this! Sorry Kari for making you read so many chapters…Kari?
Kari: hmm? Yes Mooney, did you say something?
Moon: -sweatdrop- Your thinking of your boyfriend again, aren't you?
Kari: -nods-
Moon: -sighs- well that is the end of Is It True Love, I will after this start uploading my three sequels to Matchmaker Xellos. I already have then written just need to get them typed up! Well TTFN!
