Recap
"I thought I smelled something horrid. Why are there humans here?." a voice said for the door. Everyone looked at the source of the voice. There in the doorway stood a girl with red hair and forest green eyes. Her eyes were closed and she had like a scowl on her face. Mai growled at the girl. Naru looked down at her in confusion and was about to say something but was stopped by the brunette.
"Why are you here…Reiki."
Who Knew
Chapter 10
What the Heck…
"Why are you here… Reiki." Mai practically growled. Said girl just smirk at Mai and slowly walked towards Naru.
"Why Gene why didn't you tell me you had a twin." Reiki said as she stopped right in front of the dark-haired narcissist. "he's quite handsome, too."
Reiki then started to reach out and touch his face but was stopped by the hand of an angry brunette.
"Put your hands on him, and I will break every bone in your body." Mai said in a dangerously low tone that made every one jump. Reiki just smirked wider. She then raised her hands in defeat as she stepped back.
"Ok, ok. I get it. Anyway Melody, I hope you know the reason I came." she said. Mai glared at the girl.
"What do I have to do with that. That's between you and Brandon." she said. Everyone then turned their attention to the brown-haired boy.
"Hey don't put me in this." he said. Mai sighed. Reiki just glared at the boy.
"Not that! I heard you returned from your 'mission' and I wanted to see how badly you failed." she hissed. The brown-eyed princess just rolled her eyes.
"You really are an idiot.." she said coldly. The red-head just glared at her.
"What do you mean." she hissed again. "And again why are these filthy humans doing here!"
"What?!" everyone but Mai, exclaimed at the girl. Mai sighed.
"I mean exactly what I said, and these 'filthy humans' as you call them, are the reason I went to the human realm." Mai said 'matter-a-factly'. Reiki's mouth dropped.
"Y-you mean they're the group Uncle talked about." she said. Mai smirked.
"Oh whatever gave you that idea," she said sarcastically. The others in the room were trying to hold their laughter (Even Naru and Lin), but were failing miserably. Reiki stood there dumbstruck.
"B-but they're humans." she stuttered.
"No shit Sherlock." Mai said coldly.
"Melody. Behave." Emily said, trying to suppress her own laughter. Mai just shrugged her shoulders.
"Ok, ok. Enough play time, let's get to businesses." Gene said once he calmed down. Brandon nodded in agreement.
"Yeah Mel. Gene's right." he said. Mai sighed again.
"Ok, fine." Mai said. "Everyone sit down."
The group happily did as they where told. Once they were all settled around the table, Mai started her explanation.
"Ok, a few years ago, a great threat surfaced in Andrea. This threat is a vampire named Hiro, the man that attacked us at SPR. Hiro was once a good guy, actually he was Brandon's best friend." Mai said.
"What happened to him." Bou-san asked. It was Brandon who asked him.
"When we were kids me, Mai, and Hiro use to all play together. Hiro had a super huge crush on Mai. He used to go pick flowers and give them to her, everyday. He also use to stare at her when she wasn't looking. He had pictures, drawings, and more stuff, all about Mai. To point is, Dude was sprung." he said. As Naru listened to the brown-haired prince's words, he could feel himself getting angry. He clenched his hands underneath the table until his knuckles were white. Mai must have sense his tension, because she intertwined her hands with his that was under the table. She then gave him a reassuring smile. Naru immediately calmed down. Mai then started to speak.
"When we all were around ten, I started hanging out with some new friends, like the guard from the other day. I was highly aware of Hiro feelings towards me, but I didn't fell the same way so I tired to stand way from him as much as possible. Hiro then started to follow me around. He would also threaten any males I had any kind of contact with. One day I decided to confront him. I told him that I only think of as a friend and in some ways a brother. He got angry and told me that he will have me, it doesn't mater how long it took, that I would be his. He then disappeared the following day. There was no trace of him any where."
"Until about 4 years ago." Gene stated. "During his disappearance, Hiro met the Demon King. The Demon King is a very powerful demon and ruler of the Demon district. Hiro made a deal with the king. The deal was if the king would grant him the power to have Mai, he would, in return, work for the Demon King of all eternity."
"So he basically, sold his soul." Ayako concluded. Gene nodded in return.
"How do you know this? Hiro wouldn't have told you." Naru asked.
"Actually it was the Demon King who informed us. Despite his name, the Demon King is a pretty nice guy. He was a childhood friend of our father." Ren said for the first time in hours.
"But why would he tell you? He basically committed treason by gaining a wish that could put the safety of the princess in danger." Masako deduced.
"Why that is true, the Demon King told us because he needed our help to stop Hiro. Apparently, he let all his power go to his head. Hiro started to kill magical creatures to collect their power, thus making him stronger." Brandon explained. "He ardently got to much for the King to handle so he called us. Our father over look the fact of him committing treason and decided to help him."
"Our father and the Demon King went searching for Hiro. They found him, but had to battle him. Our father could have easily won, but Hiro had an army of demons, zombies, and other creatures, under his control. Since they had to fight off them, they really didn't pay attention to Hiro. He managed to sneak up behind father, and attack him. Father survived but had to stay in bed so he can heal. He got a lot of damage to his back, so he couldn't move. Brandon went to fight Hiro to but end up kind of in the same position. His condition seem worst and it didn't look like he was going to make it. Mother then sent Melody to the out to find some one who was willing to help us." Ren explained. Everyone then turned to Mai who was rubbing the back of her head nervously.
"And that's where you guys come in. Well if you want to help." she said.
"Why didn't you try to stop him Mai." Lin asked.
"Melody's powers aren't fully developed yet. She is very powerful now, but she isn't even near her full potential. She will need to use all of her abilities if she want to defeat Hiro. But she still will need help, yours to be exact. She needs all of you help and support. She need all of you abilities. She needs you 7 if she even has a chance to win. My husband told me once melody left, that she would find a group, that would help her no matter what. He said that the group would be the ones to help Melody and create an era of peace for Andrea" Emily stated. "It's up to you. You can chose to help us or you all can go home and have no part in this."
The room was quiet as everyone was determining their choice. They could chose to help Mai and save the lives of many innocent creatures, or they could walk away and pretend that none of the ever happened and save their own lives.
"I'm will help." Naru said. His voice cut the silence tension filling the room. Mai looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you, Naru." she said/whispered.
"I would be happy to lean my services as well." Lin stated.
"Of course I will help, too." Bou-san said.
"I'm in." Ayako stated.
"Me, too. Mai." Masako smiled.
"You can count me in, too Mate." John smiled.
'Thank you sooo much you guys. You don't know how much this mean to me." Mai said.
"What do you want us to do." Bou-san asked.
'Today. Nothing. You all can take the rest of the day to relax. Ohh then we can have a party later." Emily said as she squealed at the thought of a party. Mai sweet dropped.
"D-do we have to have a party." she said.
"Of course! How else are we suppose to celebrate your return home." Emily stated as she stood and practically skipped towards the door.
"B-but"
"Melody Nicole, we are having a party and that's final." She said in a 'this -conversation-is-over' kind of voice. Mai sighed.
"Fine" she muttered. Emily squealed and ran out the door, taking about the items she needed.
"She acts kind of like Madako." Ayako said. Everyone, except Brandon, Ren, and Reiki, laughed.
"Wait who's Madoka." Brandon asked.
"She's this very fun and energetic woman back in the human realm." Mai said.
-somewhere in the human world-
A certain pink-haired woman sneezed.
"Ugh. I hope I'm not getting a cold."
