Me: thanks for reviewing! ;D responds at the end of the chapter ;P have fun!
The Soul Sisters
I looked out over what seemed an endless dessert. We were almost at Patch and even I could feel the Great Spirits' presence now. My mood had changed it got from annoyed to a bit more excited.
"Patch Village here we come!" I yelled yet again.
The others looked even more annoyed at me then they did when Chocolove made one of his strange jokes no one could understand. I sweat dropped and promised I wouldn't do that again.
End Keia's PoV:
Later that day the group finally reached the blue caves. By now everyone was excited and curious of what would lie ahead.
"A lake!" Horo pointed to a small lake in the middle of the ghost town that was supposed to lead them to Patch.
"I guess we have to swim to patch, heheheh." Yoh laughed while sweat dropping.
"Yoh-dono, I know we can make it, but what about Anna-dono and the rest." Amidamaru said concerned.
"Don't worry we let Manta rent a submarine." Anna said while glaring at Manta.
The group was once again split in two; one would go swimming the others had to get there on their own.
The tunnel under water seemed to go on for ever and they were running out of air. "You think it's a never ending tunnel?" Keia mumbled underwater.
"We're dead if that's the case." Ren mumbled back, before swimming into a skeleton and freaking out.
Everyone got freaked out and swam quicker. When they reached the surface Yoh was holding Faust above water, Ren was KO, Keia was holding her heart looking terrified and the rest was in a shock.
When that was over they came by another tunnel that leaded them to a death end. And when they tried to go back they saw the way they came through also was gone.
"Uh, I don't think this is good…" Horo said.
"Lets just blast our way out of this." Ryo grabbed his sword ready to attack.
"No! This is the work of the Great Spirits, we'll only get into more trouble if we do that." Keia warned while inspecting the walls.
"Nani? We can't stay here, Anna will kill me!"
"Asakura you baka!" Ren said annoyed.
Both Keia and Horo rolled their eyes when suddenly a bright light came from the room and swallowed them all.
Keia woke up in a dark room; no one was there not even Mystic or her brother. "Okay, Ha.ha. Very funny where are you guys?" Keia walked around the room, but no one answered.
She started to get angry and also a bit scared, what if something had happened to them, what if they ended in a complete other location, what if…
Keia quickly shook all the horrible thoughts out her head. She finally found the door to the outside world and to her shock she was back at Floral. Everyone was still alive and well, the palace shined in all its glory and the people laughed happily while doing their own things.
"Ah, princess, how are you today?"
"?"
"Princess Keia, what a lovely day isn't it?"
"N-Nani, what going on around here!" Keia looked shocked at everyone, all those people were supposed to be dead.
Suddenly the scene changed and fire was everywhere. People lay dead on the streets and terrified yells were heard from the palace. Keia knew what this was; it were her own memories the reason she was in the fights.
"STOP IT! I don't wanna see this anymore…I know it was my fault…I know…" she dropped to her knees and held her head in her hands as she cried.
"You can't enter the fights if you continue to live on revenge and guilt."
A voice spoke. It wasn't a harsh voice, but it wasn't the friendliest one either. Keia slowly stood up and looked around to see where it came from.
"W-who are you?"
"We are the ones that created the shaman fights. We know about the situation of the Floral and when time comes we are willing to help."
"The Great Spirits…why?"
"All shamans are in danger and in desperate times, desperate measures have to be taken. But you can't enter if you don't let go of your past, Keia."
Keia lowered her head. She promised herself to take revenge on Hao no matter what, could she just break it and start all over again? This time she wasn't alone, she had her brother and friends to rely on. It would be hard, but what would it matter maybe she'd get her chance anyway sooner or later.
"Sigh…it will be hard but I'll let go if that means I can stay in the fights."
"Very well then, welcome in Patch Keia of the Floral Clan!"
Again a bright light appeared and she got a glimpse of the enormous light pillar that were the Great Spirits. Keia smiled and saw that her brother and friends also made it out.
Later they came in Patch Horo had joined up with Ren and Chocolove and Yoh had a team with Faust and Ryo.
"Sis, are you sure those girl are going to keep their promise?" Horo asked walking next to Keia.
"Yes. I'm the ones who's late, otouto."
Horo stopped in his tracks. Keia turned around to look at him. "Nani?"
"You never called me that…"
"Well, I am almost a month older then you, but you always were like a big brother for me and for that…I thank you…thank you so much for taking me in and trying to help me whenever I was down or needed help." Keia stared at him with tears in her eyes and smiled.
"Keia…"
"KEIA GIRL YA HERE!"
Both Keia and Horo jumped two feet in the air as two extremely loud girls came running towards them.
"Who's the cute one?" a lightly tanned girl with dirty blonde hair and what seemed to be a red tango dress asked.
"Anya, don't cha see you're making our little Black Rose blush." The other girl teased. She had red hair and was wearing a baggy black pants and a yellow thank top.
"Anya, Kylee when did you arrive?" Keia asked the two girls bored and rolled her eyes.
"Like, you know, two months ago!" Anya chirped loudly.
"NANI!"
"Yea, girl you're like so totally late!" Kylee also chirped while inspecting Horo from top to toe.
"Oh-Kay…well, I guess I'll see you later…" Keia started to walk away when Anya pulled her back on her arm.
"Wait, tonight the popular Soul Sister band is going to perform. You two have to come and if you have more friends bring 'em too, it's gonna be a blast." Anya waved them good bye and pulled Kylee away from Horo.
"So those are the two girls you're supposed to form a team with? Keia have you heard how they talk!" Horo yelled waving his fist up and down and still blushing heavily.
"Oh, I didn't hear you complain when Kylee was, like, almost over you." Keia smirked evilly as Horo blushed even more. "Admit, you like it!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Always one time more Too then you!"
"Argh, I hate when you do that."
Keia laughed at her victory and walked back to the others with Horo still pouting and blushing.
….
Later that evening Keia got the rest so far to come to the performance of the Soul Sisters. To her surprise Anya hadn't exaggerated when she said they were popular.
It show was given in a middle sized old Patch theatre. Shamans from all ages came to see these Soul Sisters, most of them were guys… Keia didn't see Anya and Kylee so she assumed that they were late.
"Keia…pssssst Keia over here." Kylee stood behind the red curtain that hid the stage and waved for Keia to come. She looked around her and walked to Kylee.
"You can't just go there! What if they see you!" she hissed at the redhead.
"The SS doesn't mind…come we have some cool evening clothes for ya. Can't watch a good show in those so-not-matching clothes." Kylee smiled a bit evilly and before Keia new it she also stood behind the curtain.
Anya was there as well, this time wearing an emerald green Tango dress with small coins attached on the bottom, white sandals with high pointy heels and a necklace with the same coins on it around her neck.
Kylee was dressed in a white Capri's and purple tube top. Both of her arms were covered in silver bracelets.
"Isn't that a little too fancy for just a show?" Keia began to become suspicious.
"Naah, here this one's for you." She handed Keia a black dress that had small red roses attached on the end of it and a pair of tiger printed boots that came just above her knees.
"Soul Sisters, Soul Sisters, Soul Sisters!"
The audience yelled. "Well I guess we should go to our seats." Keia said and wanted to walk away.
"No girl, we're on! Surprise we are the Soul Sisters the three of us!" Anya chirped and the curtains moved again.
'The three of us! Oh…crap…'
"Welcome, shamans!" Anya started. "We're glad you could all make it!"
"And now you can finally meet our last sister, Black Rose!" Kylee pulled Keia on the stage and spotlights found their way to her.
Keia saw the faces of her brother and friends and wished she could just disappear. She quickly bowed and wanted to leave the stage, but once again was stopped by the two girls.
"Tonight is going to be special for all shamans that will enter the second rounds are now her in Patch. But first is our lovely Black Rose going to introduce herself." Anya yelled in the mike. "Never say your real name." she quickly added.
Keia wanted to shoot both of them, how could they? She never gave a performance in her entire life! Let along for so many people, including her friends and family.
"Ehm, H-hi I'm Black Rose and I don't have a clue what I'm dong here!" Keia glared at her two teammates and walked away from the mike as the audience laughed.
Anya shook her head as Kylee took over. "Okay are ya ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Ready to go wild?"
"Yeah!"
"Ready to dance and sing along?"
"Yeah!"
"And are you ready for the Soul Sisters?"
"YEAH!"
Anya handed them two headset microphones while Kylee prepared the music.
"I don't know the song and I can't sing!" hissed Keia as she grabbed Anya by the collar of her dress.
"Chill girl, we've heard you voice and we know ya can sing. Besides you have to…isn't that, that guy you chased after?" Anya pointed to a group of three in the audience. Keia followed and flushed an even deeper shade of red.
"What is he doing here!" the one that was supposed to be her mortal enemy and cause of all her problems, Hao, sat there smirking.
"Told ya we're famous…" Anya smirked evilly as Keia's eyes turned blank. She really felt a great urge to strangle the SS girl.
"He's gonna make fun of me for this…I hate you!"
"Yea we luv ya too girl. Just follow the beat and here are the lyrics. Kylee handed her a small paper with her name on it and a lot of text.
The music started and Anya was the first one to sing…
"Back in the darkness, who is there to save you?"
"Soul Sisters, Soul Sisters!"
Kylee jumped in as the music got louder. Keia just stood there shaking like a scared little girl.
"The dream is back again what will you do?"
"Run, run, run!"
At this moment Keia really wanted to run away. She backed off as her part came closer. Horo and the others were laughing and moving at the beat, that only made her feel worse.
"But you can't hold on! OH yeah, listen to our words, oh yeah, crumble at them be afraid for we can't back off!"
"Back off, you gotta back off!"
Keia sweat dropped and slowly moved to the front of the stage holding the piece of paper in her left hand and the mike in her right. She started singing as well.
"Soft as a teardrop this isn't right, why should fight? Isn't bad enough already, in this cold dark night…"
"Fight in night!"
Kylee started dancing and left Anya and Keia to sing together. Keia slowly got the hang of it and finally since a long time ago she had fun, she laughed watched her brother blush when Kylee jumped off the stage and danced with him.
"So after all don't give up, don't back down, dare to live life at the fullest and always, yeah always stick together and be bond by the magical bond of…SOUL SISTERS!"
All three of them yelled in the microphone and the crowd had gone wild. Everyone yelled their stage names and wanted to hear more.
"And as we said tonight is going to be special, because…" Anya spoke and everyone kept silent as Kylee continued.
"Tonight, our dear fans, you can win a date with Flying Siren (Anya), Dancing Angel (Kylee) or our newest member Black Rose (Keia). All you have to do is catch one of the three icons we throw in the audience, a dolphin, a bird or a rose, then you walk to the stage and…well, show which one you caught!" Kylee explained.
"WHAT! You never told me that!" Keia's voice boomed through the theatre, but Anya quickly put her hand on Keia's mouth and laughed nervous.
Keia tried to struggle free, but Anya was too strong so she calmed down.
"Okay, ready, set and catch them if you can!" Anya threw the three icons away and chaos erupted.
"Anya. Kylee. When this is over I AM going to KILL you after I have made you repay for this humiliation towards my friends and enemies." Keia hissed angry and waited for the chaos to stop.
"OKAY, time's up. So who are the three lucky winners?" Kylee spoke.
Horo came walking up muttering something about killing Yoh and Ren for setting him up. Keia had a hard time not to crack up when she saw he had 'won' Kylee, the girl was all over him already.
She cracked up even more when she saw Anya had a date with their old so-called-friend-turned-X-laws Lyzerg.
'HA. That's what you get for lousing me into this! Maybe I'm lucky and no one was able to find my icon, heheheh I'm so gonna laugh at them if that's the case…poor bro he doesn't even has to do anything with it…too bad!' Keia snickered inwardly.
"Too bad that's not the case." A too familiar voice whispered in her ear.
"…oh no…please don't tell me…" she slowly turned around to face what she saw as her worst nightmare and yes she was right…
"ANYA, KYLEE YOU TWO ARE SO DEAD!"
