A/N- Thanks for the reviews, FAx5, Faximum897, bfe111, and musicismyw0rld! I'm trying to make this story go at least to ten chapters! WOOT!
Disclaimer- Why would you think that I own it? l:P Also, I don't own Kremlin Dusk. Weird how that works out.
Nudge POV
Our lips met, and I closed my eyes, placing my arms around his neck automatically. It felt so... so... good... ng...
His arms quickly went around my waist, hugging me tightly to him. I tilted my head, making the kiss more passionate. He gave me a quick squeeze, and I did my best not to groan.
I locked my hands in his hair, pressing his lips even tighter, if possible, to my own. Iggy's hands began moving up and down my back.
Much to my disappointment, he surfaced just then. However, what he said next made up for it.
"I love you, Nudge," he said softly. I gave a soft gasp.
"R-really?!" I whispered. "I never dreamed... I love you, too!"
Iggy gave me a soft smile before gently kissing my lips again. I thought that I was going to faint from excitement.
Iggy! Iggy was kissing me! This was heaven... His tongue gently prodded my lips, asking to be allowed in. Just as I was about to allow him to enter, I heard a cold voice.
"Hello, Nudge and Iggy, dears."
Oh, fudge. Mizuki. He and I quickly parted, blushing slightly.
"M-Mizuki!" I hissed. "What are you doing here?"
"New thing from headquarters. It's called, 'killing you'," she muttered.
I gasped. "What?!"
"Come on, you two. If you don't, I'll kill you right here, right now in front of all of these people. Wouldn't you rather just be killed in private? Or maybe I can set up an arrangement for you two."
"I don't think that we'd like to be killed at all," Iggy said coolly, stepping in front of me.
"Let's just make something up, then. I can put you with the same deal that I gave Charlie, if you'd like. But I don't want to talk to you here. Not know."
"What if we don't want to talk at all?!" I demanded.
"Then that's too bad," Mizuki hissed. "Let's go, right now."
"Iggy..." I whispered, grabbing his hand. "I don't want our first minutes as a couple to be our last..."
"Neither do I," he replied. "That would kind of suck, ya know?"
I gave him a quick grin. "Yeah, it would, wouldn't it?"
"Shut up!" Mizuki snapped, eyes practically on fire. "Just shut up and come with me already!"
"Excuse me, but who are you to treat my two friends like that?" A voice asked flatly. I turned around and saw Tiffany, the girl who was hosting the party. She had four friends surrounding her. I could have knelt down and screamed my thanks to her and whatever God helped us out.
"Friends?!" Mizuki spluttered. "These two have been lying from you from the beginning of this stupid rat race!"
Tiffany rolled her eyes. "Right-o, crazy Japanese girl. You just get imported from anime-land or something?"
"What did you say?!" Mizuki hissed, taking out her claws. Her fangs showed, and I saw the shock immediately go across Tiffany and her friends' faces.
For a good reason, I felt my wings just itching to be released so we could fly away from this insanity.
"I can't believe you," Mizuki growled. "All you humans are the same... cruel, evil, power-hungry, thinking that sheer numbers can take down anything and anyone! So stupid... I want to prove you wrong! I want to prove you all wrong!"
I felt a lurch in my stomach. She must really hate regular humans. But... but why would she hate them so much?
"Hey, Tif," I said, glancing at her. "Would you mind if it I crashed your party?"
"What do you mean?" She asked nervously.
"Well, ya know... hard to explain. But maybe I can tell you later."
"Huh?"
"Please just say yes," I begged.
"Um... okay..." she mumbled.
"Thank you!" I exclaimed, and then turned to Iggy. He seemed to read my mind.
"Over and out?"
"Over and out," I agreed.
Max POV
Maximum!
Huh? Crud. It was the Voice.
Nudge and Iggy are in danger!
What?! What's going on?! Where are they?!
Mizuki's there, and they're just about three blocks from where you are! You have to hurry; she's calling reinforcements!
I spun and turned to Fang, eyes flashing. "Nudge and Iggy are in trouble! We have to hurry!"
Fang nodded, then glanced at the bathroom. I understood what he was saying, and hurried over to the door, knocking loudly.
"You guys! Are you really sick?!"
"No!" I heard Gazzy shout.
"Gazzy!" Angel screeched. "You're not supposed to rat us out!"
"I can't take the guilt, Ang! I'm only eight!"
"You guys, this is no time for that!" I snapped. "Nudge and Iggy are in danger! We've got to hurry!"
"What?!" Angel screeched.
"Get out!" I growled, kicking the door open. I whacked Gazzy on the head, causing him to fall on his face.
"Why do I keep getting hurt...?" He wondered into the floor. I ignored his pain and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, pulling him up.
"Come on, you guys!"
Fang was already outside, waiting for us. We ran across the dark parking lot and jumped into the air, spreading our wings.
"Get found out?" Fang asked the younger two who earnestly nodded. My mouth tightened.
"You knew?"
He merely shrugged. I sighed and chose to ignore it.
For the moment.
Are they all right?! I demanded the Voice.
I think that they're battling Mizuki right now.
I felt my heart lurch. Mizuki... wasn't she that girl from before?! The one who had taken Charlie... and done who knows what with him?!
"Fudge..." I muttered, choosing not to say the other word while the children were around.
"What is it?!" Gazzy demanded.
"Mizuki," I answered flatly.
"Nudge is scared!" Angel announced. "And she's hoping that her first moments with Iggy as her boyfriend won't be her last!"
I choked, nearly falling right out of the sky. Boyfriend?! What the crap!?
"WHAT?!" I demanded.
"They made out, too!" Angel announced, giggling slightly.
"Oh my..." I muttered, unable to finish that sentence. What had just happened again?
"Did you hear that?!" I demanded Fang. He was busily wiping the blood from his nose onto his sleeve. I smacked him upside the head, knowing that he probably deserved it.
"Are you guys forgetting what we're supposed to be doing?!" Gazzy demanded.
"Shut up!" I snapped. "As your leader, I never ever forget anything! You should know that by now!"
I hit him, too.
"Ow..." Gazzy grumbled. "Why do I keep getting hurt...?"
I hit him again, just to prove my point. Even if I'm not sure what my point is.
Charlie POV
I looked up at the night sky, pain and fear in my eyes. The moon was brilliantly full, casting shadows all across the landscape. With bright red blood slowly falling down my cheek, it seemed like something that you only saw in the movies.
The voice... the one I'd heard for so long... softly began singing...
The voice never answered me. The voice knew all my answers. The voice knew everything and nothing. But I didn't understand almost all the time.
All along I was searching for my Lenore
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and "Nevermore"
Will the Raven come to bother me at home
Calling you, calling you home
You... calling you, calling you home
By the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me anymore
This I saw coming, long before
So I kept on staring out the window
Calling you, calling you home
You... calling you, calling you home
I am a natural entertainer, aren't we all
Holding pieces of dying ember
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Who can I call
Home... calling you, calling you
I run a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Can I call
Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in opposite direction
It isn't or is it a Modernist reaction
Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in opposite direction
It isn't or is it a Modernist reaction
Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
Do you like this
Is it always the same
Will you come back again
Do you like this
Is it always the same
Will come back again
Do you like this
Do you like this
Is it like this
Is it always the same
If you change your phone number, will you tell me
Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
If you like this
Will you remember my name
Will you play it again, if you like this
That song seemed to perfectly fit the Halloween mood. The feelings of despair I was constantly racked with. The feelings of pain and hurt. There were just too many sorrows for one seven-year-old to see in his time.
I closed my eyes, slightly sighing. My hair, as usual, fell into my eyes.
"I think too much..." I whispered softly, wiping the blood from my cheek and forehead.
"Oi! Dork!" My heart nearly stopped. She was back.
"M-Mizuki..." I whispered softly, biting my bottom lip hard. Why? Why did she have to be back? It hurt enough as it was...
"I brought some friends, didn't I, Iggy and Nudge?"
My heart could have stopped again. Iggy... and Nudge?! She had taken them?! How... how could she?!
"Don't forget the deal we made, dear..." I heard her hiss into my ear.
I was going to die, and I knew it.
