hey guys/gals hoped you enjoyed last chapter an also hope you enjoy this chapter "We no own nothing but our oc's thanky" thank you snow enjoy an i hope this chapter an the last one makes up for the late updates
I woke up lying next to a sleeping Jun with one arm of his around me his bandages from his upper chest seemed to be gone I slowly got out of bed an went to a mirror to see the damage I had taken while I was knocked out during the fight I undid some of the bandages on my arm first an found multiple cuts that were almost fully healed. "Wow. Nice to see that you fully healed" Jun said sitting up off the bed and started stretching "well close enough. How are you holding up?" I asked while putting my hair in a ponytail "I've been worse so no complaints" he said scratching his head then getting his hands stuck in them
"best idea to wash the blood out of your hair." I told him noticing that he was smiling at me "why are you so happy you always seemed a bit moody in the morning" I asked his getting a change of clothes in the closet "well you do know where we are don't you?" he asked getting up off the bed then taking a look at his cloak then giving a sad sign "nope. Where are we some magical land with a castle and princesses" I asked him jokingly but he replied with "nope! I already met the seven princesses of light and might I add are very polite. We're home" he said with an even bigger smile, Home? "You mean Destiny Islands, right?" I asked him confused while changing in the bathroom I walked out to see him fully dressed in new clothes
"no. we're in twilight town the upper district to be exact. An today is also the Star festival remember" he said with a wink before grabbing my hand an leading me outside when we walked outside we were at the clock town that we use to hang out during the summer just the 2 of us "well nice to see you guys up and about where were you planning on going Jun" I heard Alexis scream from the top of the tower with Kenji and everyone sitting together "well I was planning to go on a date but seems like you guys want something." He shouted back as Alexis and the others jumped down from the Extreme height landing on a small tornado of wind breaking their fall "duh! You guys do err did live here before you mind telling us what's with the different stalls and lights and junk" Miyako said flicking Jun's forehead
"well if you must know. It's the Star festival we err they have every year or so depending on the mayor" I explained to them Snow seemed excited by the whole thing Star seemed just as excited "Jun can we stay. PLEASE! I WANNA PLAY GAMES AND STUFF" she said giving him the puppy dog face he started scratching his cheek "well I don't know" he replied making Alexis and I to join in with her to convince Jun to stay "PLEASE! WE WANNA HAVE FUN" we said in unison Jun gave up on resisting and agreed "that face is still evil." He said after agreeing and everybody running off into the festival "well since it's been a while since we've been home. You want to see your 'parents'. I think they might be worried" he said with air quotes I asked him "what about you? Don't you want to see them? I mean they're a lot nicer than mine" "I'd rather not. They knew I was going to leave one day I managed to seek a letter to them a little after I woke up so. Really no need to see them" he said looking over to the sun set with something on his mind "alright then let's go" I told him grabbing his hand then running through the festival, kind of reminds me of Jun and mines first date
Flash back
Jun and I just got off the train station for our first date "so then rose where should we explore first? If I remember right everybody is preparing for the star festival" I looked up for a couple seconds and says, "I want to go see my parents first. Dad has to approve you and all..."I managed to make faint smile. "It's been awhile since I've seen them." "Yeah thanks for reminding me." He said with a nervous smile "you lead the way an maybe give me some advice so I don't make an idiot of myself" Jun said fallowing me while passing stalls that were being set up for the festival I chuckled and stopped by one of the stalls to buy some flowers.
"Well here's some advice: DON'T BE AN IDIOT! Plus you better not mention school cause if they saw your conduct, I'm pretty sure my dad would say no." I punched Jun in the arm. "I TOLD you not to piss off the teacher. Your fault for not listening." "Well not my fault he needs to know that he's going to make me go blind if he stay under that light all day." He replied sticking his tongue at me "besides not like I'm the one who dropped the frog on his lunch" Jun said buying 2 of the star shaped cookies an handing on to Me. I took a cookie and elbowed Jun in the ribs. "That's for sticking your tongue out at me." I then take a bite of my cookie and smile angelically. "Thanks for the cookie! I haven't had one in forever..." "No problem." he said taking a bite of the cookie and admiring my smile before we stopped in front of my house "so this is your house? Fancy. I didn't take you for the rich type"
I shrug. "Eh, they're my fosters. They think that as long as they give me what I want, they're good parents." I rolls My eyes and shoves the flowers to Jun. "You'll need these." I sigh heavily and put on a fake smile. "And all this time I don't think they ever looked for me." I rings the doorbell... "Well that explains the flowers" I heard the door knob begin to open Jun put on a smile an hoped for the best the door opened revealing a butler "you even have a butler?" He whispered to me "madam your daughter has arrived with a... Guest" he called out i make eyes twinkle mischievously at Jun as My mother walks into the entryway. "My daughter? You mean-" mom stops and stares in shock at Me and Jun for a couple seconds before putting on a plastic smile. "Rose! I'm so glad you came home!" She walks forward and hugs me. "Your father and I were worried!" I made an "eww" face behind My mom's back but smiles again when we pull away.
"I'm Jun nice to final-" she gave him a scary look that made Jun go silent "right your that boy" she told him before a large muscular man in a tux appeared "who's this?" he said in a voice as if he was about to knock him out. My eyes go wide as i try to explain. "Uhh this is my friend Jun! We went to school together and... Stuff!" I send Jun a "smile and keep quiet or you're dead meat!" look as my dad turns to me. "Oh really? So how long have you two known each other?" he asks while glaring at Jun. "we've known each other for a while now. It's a pleasure to meet you both." He said politely as he could while scratching my cheek nervously, your boned
"why don't you come in for a moment and have a chat boy" he told Jun leading him inside He mouth the words "help me!" My eyes go wide but I just stands there as Jun is being dragged off. "Rose, you've been gone for quite a while," My mom said sternly. "Please do not tell me you were with that boy the whole time." "No! And if I was gone so long, how come you never looked for me?" My mom's eyes narrowed in the infamous death-glare, but I stood her ground.
5 minutes later after chat
When Jun and my dad reappeared Jun had a shocked and scared look on his face, I gave My mother one last withering stare before looking up at my father hesitantly for the verdict. "He passed." Giving one last glare to Jun,my dad turned and walked away, his wife following behind angrily.
After a walk through the festiaval we made it to my old home i guess Jun could scene how i was feeling "You know you don't have to see them if you don't want to Rose" He told me making sure i wanted to go through with this "no i need to get this off my chest. Just try not to get involved alright?" i asked him hoping for the best he nodded in agreement. i rang the door bell i heard the door nob start moving an took a deep breath the door opened revealing Mr. Harriman with a happy an shocked face "nice to see you again " was all he managed to say trying to hold back his tears.
My foster mother came to the door wondering who was here when she saw me i could see the rage in her eyes she walked up in front of me and lifted her hand to Slap me i closed my eyes and prepared myself. I immediately heard a tremendously loud smack but didn't feel anything i opened my eyes an saw Jun standing infront of me. that made her even more angry and slapped him again with greater force i could help but flinch as the seccond slap hit him but Jun stood there without even moving an inch pulled her away to a seperate room along the way she started calling me an ungreatful brat that cares about no one but her self "Nice seeing you too Julia! hey are those Crows feet on your face" Jun said causing her to curse out at him "love you too" he said sarcastically. My foster Dad came to the door giving me a stare that said "You aren't welcomed here"
"Rose. say what you have to say. don't worry i'm right here" he said with an un moving tone. i looked at the reflection in the mirror an saw Jun with 2 emense slap marks on his face an was giving my dad a look that scared even me. My foster dad turned his attention towards Jun then punched him on his forehead with his Right hand filled with rings. Jun Stood his ground without even fliniching, he the turned back to me "what do you have to say?" he asked coldly i took a deep breath and let out all of my anger and frustration from them. after i finished my rant he asked me "so then this is good-bye." he said without any change in his voice
i nodded he left to a different room and gave me an old stuffed animal looked fimilair he handed the animal to Jun an gave him one last look before closing the door. Jun turned and handed me the stuffed animal. i examined it trying to figure out where its from it had both its ears missing has a burnt marks on it with a missing eye "this is the stuffed bear i had before my parents died" i said huging the bear close to my face to hide my tears i felt Jun embrace "its alright don't forget I'm always here by your side" he whispered to me he pulled away an wiped mytears away an gave me another smile "come on. lets go have some fun and no tears kay?"he told me i nodded and he grabbed my hand taking us back to the festival
I stalked over to Jun and flicked his forehead. "Why did you have to say something, IDIOT!" I frowned and spared a pitying look over to the butler. "I'm sorry Harriman, Julia's going to be impossible." Mr. Harriman just shook his head. I sighed and grabbed Jun's hand, dragging him out of my house. "Your dads crazy you know that! He almost killed me with that sword of his! I'm lucky my dad just as crazy an made me wear this" Jun told Me pulling down the sleeve revealing a metal plate His dad made him wear underneath it " wait who's Julia?" he asked before we reached the festival "Julia is my mom... And yeah, I know my dad's crazy, where do you think I get it?" I Told, giving Jun a "DUH!" look. "And what IS that thing?" I ask, poking the metal plate. "Is that... Armor?" My eyes turn to fire as I yells, "DID YOU SERIOUSLY THINK YOU WERE GONNA NEED THAT TONIGHT?" I then punches Jun in the shoulder and gasps, cradling my hand. "OW!"
"Of course not! Wasn't even my idea! Dan made me wear it. Apparently he heard on the street that your dad likes to " test" your dates with swords" He told Me buying a small bag of ice for My hand then taking off the armor, I rolled My eyes but take the ice gratefully. "He didn't maim them THAT much! And 'word on the street'? Next we're going to get guns and have a mafia shoot-out like The Godfather. So anyway... Where do you want to go next? Your turn." "No trust me on that... Well since it looks like the festival is starting so how about we play some games then head out to the clock tower to watch the fireworks sound good?" Jun asked me tossing the armor in the trash as the sun setted and the festival lights came on "Okay!" I grabbed Jun's hand and randomly starts running and laughing like crazy, dodging people and weaving in and out of the crowd. "Tell me when to stop!" I yells happily
" alright then" He let Me drag him to where ever I pleased we started passing by the different stalls "hold on if we're going to go be in a festival let's get some masks" Jun told me handing me the moon mask while I took the eclipse mask "Wait!" I grabbed Jun's mask and puts it back, replacing it with a sun mask instead. I put mine's on and helps him tie his. "Now you light up my world- literally!" He switch My mask with a star mask with a crescent moon "an now you like up my darkness" he told me smiling he paid for the mask an started hearing music playing from the center of the festival "care to dance" .I smiled and took Jun's hand. "Of course! If we can make it without tripping... Or falling..." I trailed off, looking down at the cobblestones almost fearfully.
"You know it'll hurt if we fall, right?" "Well then let's not fall." He said lifting My face up so I can see him and grabbed my other hand "you still remember to dance right?" "How could I not?" I stuck My tongue out and was about to say something sarcastic when I tripped. I and righted myself quickly and blew a few strands of hair out of my face. "Okay, so maybe I'm a LITTLE out of practice..." "Proves my point. I guess I'll take the lead" He told me as we then started dance to the music I started getting the hang of it so he let me lead "you know I could help but notice that this song got a lot slower" "I know..." I said a little preoccupied.
I was frowning down at our feet, all of my focus going into not messing up. I gripped Jun's hand tighter when i started to trip, but then I quickly righted myself and kept going, oblivious to everything but dancing and the music . "you know I think it's about time we play some games. If you focus any harder I think we might fly" Jun told me leading me into the alley of games and prizes "see anything you like?" "Ummm not really... It's all just a cheap scam for random guys to take all your money in a rigged game for a prize you could buy off the Internet for half the price you paid to play the game in the first place," I said quickly all in one breath. "Plus, do you really think I want to carry around a stuffed animal all night? It gets kind of annoying after a while..." I trailed off, thinking for a second.
we walked down the alley filled with games and mask and a buzzing crowed. Jun stopped infront of a fimilair mask store "This time you light up my world" he told me putting the sun mask on me before i could refuse "Alright. but what'll you be?" i asked him before getting the moon mask an putting it on him "the light that shines in your darkness. how's that sound?" he asked me i gave him a kiss on the cheek i said to him "sounds perfect. oh by the way" i punched him on the shoulder for doing that stunt back at my parents "thats for not letting me handling it alone" "well what else was i suppose to do? let them hit you! i think not!" he replied jokingly making a face that i couldn't but think wass cute "well enough of that. what shall we do next? would you like to dance Or play a quick game?" he asked me pulling me toward the group of people dancing happily "well seems like you decided already. after this lets settle and old bet then head to the clock tower and watch the show" i asked him as we entered the center of the crowd an started dancing i let Jun take the lead for me
"But if you want to waste your money, sure! Go ahead!" I laughed nudged Jun. "Pick your poison, play a game or two if you want." "When'd you turn to such a downer? You don't think I can't win a game on my first try? How about this if I can't win one game and get you one of the stuffed animals I'll buy sea-salt ice-cream" he said walking up to one of the booths .I punched Jun in the arm. "I'm not a downer, I'm realistic! And I'd like to see you try to win. If you do, I'll buy the ice-cream." .he started rubbing his shoulder "alright the let's get started" he told me picking up a baseball the man in the stall explained the game to me which I translated it to "the bottles are hot glued into place"
he threw the ball as hard as he could breaking off them off the table "technically they're knocked over" Jun told the man with a victorious smile while he started scratching his head amazed. I stared wide eyed at the broken bottles. "Crap! I thought for sure I'd win that one... Remind me later to not make bets with you in the future," I said as I headed over to an ice-cream stand. "Two sea-salt ice-creams please!" The guy smiles at me and Jun and hands them four ice-creams. "But... I only said two!" "It's on the house." I looked at him warily but say nothing, knowing it'd be useless to argue "noted. How do you like your stuffed animal?" He asked me playing with it ear as we started walking down the alley. I smirk and say,
"Its looks cute with you! But what are we going to name it? I vote on it being a boy... Even though it's pink." "Hmm. I was hoping he'd be a girl to name it Sakura with the pink and all about how about Marly?" he asked giving me a wink before checking his watch. I rolled my eyes smiling. "Marly it is, then. So... Are we going to the tower now?" I asked excitedly, handing over an ice-cream to Jun. "We can each eat one on the way and then have one left to eat later. We just have to make sure they don't melt before then." "Alright then better hurry before they start turning down the lights. Up for a race? Loser has to do something the winner wants but nothing to crazy. Your dad scares me" He said eating my ice-cream watching the different stalls start do dim down their lights
"Okay, you're on! And my dad is harmless... once you take away all of his sharp objects. So where do we start and stop? Your choice, you won Marly," I say, smiling at Jun and pushing hair out of my face. "Alright then, have to keep that in mind. We start here an end at the top of the clock tower we start on your mark" He said scratching his cheek while hanging on to Marly, I raced ahead, laughing and waving at Jun over my shoulder. "Hurry up slow poke, you're gonna lose!" I called tauntingly, dodging and weaving through the crowd with my hair flying behind me. I spared a quick look back and saw that Jun was catching up, so I pressed on faster hoping to leave him in the dust "hey no fair! You got ahead start!" I shouted trying to keep up, how is he going to catch up without bumping into people?
Pov Jun
I saw rose getting further ahead. I saw a man stacking creates, found a short cut. I jumped on the creates then on top of the stalls "sorry about that!" I shout at the work as i started running on top of the stalls .Rose heard me yelling, and when she looked in My direction, she saw me running ON TOP OF THE STALLS! Rose ducked behind a stall to a hidden alleyway that led to the back of the tower. She wasn't going to use it at first, but if Jun was going to cheat she decided she might as well.
That's weird where'd she go? I should have been able to find her up her. I jumped the gap between the stalls as I started to land my foot went through the roof "CRAP!" I broke through the ceiling and landed in a small pond filled with fish with one of the fish landing in my mouth. "pttf, uh can I get the panda bear gramps" I said joking I looked up to find my teacher from school, uh oh, I started running out of the stall while he started throwing things at me "miss me, miss me now you gotta" I start taunting him but I noticed a group of guys heading for the alley, hope rose doesn't get mad if I check this out. These guys just give me a bad feeling .I started to wind My way through the alleyways aimlessly
We started dancing to the music and much to my surprise Jun was still able to dance but he seemed to get distracted time to time and almosted fell twice "did you know Kenji could dance?" he asked me out of the blue confusing me. he pointed in the direction he was looking at and saw Kenji and Miyako dancing together almost as if they were "you think they're on a date?" i asked Jun he smiled and said "i don't know but you wanna have some fun?" with a smile
"hmm. you think we should embarrass them" he asked me deciding if he should or shouldn't "no. lets just enjoy our date together" i told him giving him a angelic smile "Alright your call. hmm lets play game i wanna get you a new bear" he said pulling me into the games side of the festival "i'll buy the ice-cream if i win if i don't well you decide" he said walking up to a to the base-ball and bottle game needless to say he won without problem. he went an bought the ice-cream for us "so then i'm guessing we're heading to the clock tower now?" i asked him as he handed me the ice cream, mm sea-salt its been way to long since i've had this
"yup you wanna race again? but No cheat this time remember last time?" he asked me with a funny look "actually i've been remembering that entire day" i told him sticking out my tounge " and i also remember you running on top of the STALLS!" i shouted at him "okay, okay geez but no head... HEY!" i ran off before he could tell me "keep up Jun bug! you wont win that way! Last one there is a Slowbro!" i shouted at him dodging through the crowd after a few minutes of running i heard the crowd say something about a boy who's jump on the light pole i looked over to see Jun jumping light pole to light pole "CHEATER!" i shouted at him before jumping on top of the stalls and started running ahead of him
"Who's cheating now!" he shoutedd back we must have caused alot of comotion cause people started screaming at us and cheer us on. i managed to bet jun to the clok tower by a few secconds "i win. now come on we got to get to the top!" i told him as he fell to his but tired from running "i'm tired. can you carry me" he asked me but i decided to shoot a lighting spell on him "OW! alright i'm going geez can't take a joke" he said getting up quickly and picked me up bridle style and jumped up to the top of the tower "there now then shall we watch the show" he said putting me down i snatched one of the ice-creams from him an took our usual spot at the clok tower eating the yummy ice-cream
Pov Rose
I slowly starting to panic and went faster and faster until I was sprinting away from My invisible ghosts. That is, until I slammed into someone. I yelled and fell gracelessly onto the dirty ground. There were about six guys and from the look of them, not very friendly. From beyond them I could see an entrance to the outside world, but I didn't want to risk going past the guys, especially because the one I had knocked into gave me a death glare that rivaled my own. Without a second thought, I spun around and scrambled back towards the dark alleyway.
The strangers surrounded me and I was backed up against the wall. Before they could do anything, I landed a punch on the guy closest to me. I launched past him, but the others grabbed my arms and pushed me back against the wall, jeering and saying things that their mothers would slap them for if they ever heard. But I didn't fail to notice someone standing still about 20 feet behind the boys. I screamed for help, hoping that whoever it was wasn't part of the filthy gang. "ROSE!" he quickly ran an knocked the punks off me " you know you should be more careful Rose. You 6 who do you think you are trying to hurt her! You're in my turf now remember that" he told them five of them didn't care who he was the sixth one knew exactly who he was and what he could do "you think you're going to stop us! don't make me laugh!" their leader said to us
"your lost, rose head out to the tower just make a left up there and it'll lead you there this is still a race you know" I told me wanting Me to leave so I didn't have to see what's going to happen. My eyes went wide, remembering that scene so long ago that mirrored this one so closely it was almost scary. "No, I'm not leaving until you leave with me. Don't Jun, just let it go," I urged, grabbing his hand and giving him the scariest look I could conjure. I then directed my gaze at the sixth boy. "Let us go- it'll save you a trip to the hospital. I will get on my knees and beg if I have to, just let us leave in peace." "Rose... You! The scared one. It'd be smart to tell them what you know." he told him he nodded his head and quickly told them. I could see the disbelief in their faces but they took a second glance at him as he removed his mask they quickly apologize and left
"you know that was risky rose. Try not to run off like that here. You had me worried" He said hugging me afraid of what could have happened to Me. I hugged him back tightly, burying my head in his shoulder. "I didn't mean to, there really is a shortcut through here somewhere. It's been so long I guess I forgot. And I don't think I could take seeing you like... Like you were that day." I pulled away and turned Jun around so I could put the mask back on him. "There! Now smile, Mr. Sunshine!" "I promise that won't happen again. I won't let it... Come on we got to hurry before we're late" he said putting on a smile for me before grabbing my hand an leading me back to the clock tower we made it to the top of the clock tower with a few minutes to spare "Yay! Are you ready Jun-bug?" I asks excitedly while pulling out some sea-salt ice-creams and handing one to him. "I haven't seen this show in... Wow. A long time. I'm so glad you're here with me to see it too." I smiled and then got a confused look on my face.
"Wait... Who got to the tower first?" "Hmm. Well you did. I had to leave the door open remember. Can't wait for the fireworks to start!" he said taking a bite of my ice-cream then remembering what the loser would have to do "since you won what would you like me to do?" he asked nervously as the fireworks began. I stared awestruck at the fireworks for a minute or two before asking, "Is it too crazy to ask you to never leave me?" I glanced sideways at him, blushing a little in the dark.
"I mean, we were apart so long. I missed you." I looked back up at the sky, waiting for Jun to answer. He finished my ice-cream an placed the popsicle down next to him an moved closer to me an grabbed me hand tightly the next fireworks exploded with a rainbow of wonders with many different shapes and sizes he moved my head to face him an took my an his masks off "I'm not going anywhere. I'd do just about anything to be with you Rose" he told me before leaning in for a kiss. Just like that night. our lips met like the night of our first date it was the perfect moment relived "HEY ARE YOU LOVE BIRDS DONE UP THERE! THE FESTIVALS OVER WE GOT TO GO" Just like that Alexis ruins the moment "well it was fun while it lasted. well come on, if we're not there to help save the world we wont be able to do this again" Jun said with a Smile before kissing my forehead then jumpped down from the tower I fallowed close behind we both ran into the ship before it took off to a new world
