Chapter 10: Clock is ticking, friends or foe?

Our two favorite characters walked in silence towards the unknown village in front of them. it looked so old and yet it looked oddly familiar.

Mikan looked around confused. "it is just like everyone left there things and went away" said mikan to natsume as he nodded. Everything was still in its place.

Mikan looked around and narrowed her eyes as a weird clock came in the picture. Mikan nudged natsume and pointed at the clock.

"what the… 47 hours?" said natsume as he looked at mikan, mikan shrugged her shoulders.

"like hell I know what that means" said mikan as she walked to a king size poster. Natsume noticed her walking, walked after her. They looked at the poster.

"a wedding invitation?" asked natsume as mikan nodded. "the date is… 1 Martius …year zero… and I have no idea what that means" said mikan as natsume scratched the back of his head, his knowledge ended when they entered this world.

"I bet ruka and hotaru would understand what 1 martius is" said natsume as mikan nodded grinning. Natsume pulled her with him and they walked further.

Mikan stopped as she closed her eyes tightly shut. Please… find me please… there is not much time over.

"I get it I get it" mumbled mikan as she felt dizzy, natsume stopped in his tracks and looked back at mikan.

"hey, are you okay?" asked natsume as mikan gave him a weak nod. Not opening her eyes. As natsume turned around to walk further he heard a thud. He quickly turned around to find mikan on the ground clutching her head in pain. He ran towards her…

"my oh my… loverboy has still feeling huh?" said ryuu as he smirked. Koko gave him his coldest glare as he looked at them.

"like I said, don't fucking touch her" said koko as sumire clutched on his arm. Ryuu gave him a smile. "Well.. shall I tell you kids a little story?" said ryuu as he didn't wait for they answer.

"like you know, there was a prince and a princess who fell in love. Both of them didn't knew there was another prince who liked the princess. he couldn't stand their happiness and planned to get rid of the prince on the day of the wedding… however he didn't knew that the princess would be foolish enough to die with that stupid prince… he made a vow… the day the princess would come back he would destroy everything around her and make her his princess… she would never get to meet the prince and fall in love with the one who wants her the most" said ryuu finishing his story.

Sumire narrowed her eyes. So they are with that bitchy prince…

"so how do you like the story?" asked ryuu as sumire gave him a disgusted look.

"let me guess… you guys don't know who the princess is? Too bad you need us to find her" said sumire with a smirk. Koko smirked at them too. Ryuu gave his coldest glare.

"we know that… so we came with another plan…" said kai as his friends smirked.

Sumire looked confused at him. "what are you gonna do" asked koko as he stood in front of sumire in a protective way. Akira smirked.

"we have a little gift for you two" said akira as yuuki walked forward with a smirk. Sumire hugged koko as she shut her eyes and koko whispered 6 words she needed to hear.

"I am not leaving your side"

Nonoko struggled as she tried to go to the surface to breath. The water's amazing strength pulled her down, making her unable to breath. She felt like choking as she slowly fell deeper and deeper, before her eyes closed she saw what she would call and angel taking her in his arms.

After a while nonoko opened her eyes and coughed water out of her throat. Yuu was sitting next to her. He breathed relieved as she woke up.

"are you okay?" asked yuu as nonoko coughed loudly but still nodded.

"(cough) y-yea… t-thanks (cough cough)". Yuu smiled and helped her up, she felt pain in her ankle as she fell back on the ground. yuu looked at her ankle. It was all swollen up and was bleeding slightly. Yuu looked at her.

He crouched on the ground and looked at her. "come on… get on" said yuu as nonoko blushed, but still got on. He stood up with nonoko on his back. Nonoko slid her arms loosely around his neck as she leaned on him. He smelled so nice… it was the scent she missed since they parted, since he left her...

"why did you break up with me" said nonoko bluntly as everyone besides her knew the reason. She felt yuu go slower as he breathed slowly.

"I don't know… I needed my time alone" said yuu as nonoko looked sadly at him.

"and now? Do you still need your time alone" said nonoko as yuu nodded. Nonoko let the tears fall from her eyes without making a sound. Yuu walked further and nonoko smiled.

It doesn't matter… loving you is the greatest feeling ever.

They kept walking till they got to a village. Nonoko looked in awe at the old yet beautiful created village. Yuu stopped and looked around. He saw an old building with a plus sign on it. he walked towards it.

"do you think that this is the infirmary?" asked nonoko as yuu helped her off his back.

"I don't know, maybe… let's check it out" said yuu as nonoko nodded. Nonoko supported on yuu as they walked in. not knowing about the shadow that followed them.

Nonoko and yuu walked in. yuu looked around to maybe find someone who can help them, although that chance is a little too small.

Yuu walked with nonoko to the closest room and settled her on a hospital bed. He looked around to find some bandage. He opened the closest drawer to the bed and found bandage. As he bandaged her ankle nonoko looked around.

"for a world that is even before time, they do have less primitive things… I thought I would find a wooden bed or something" said nonoko as she grinned.

"our world is not that old fashioned you know" said a unknown voice as nonoko gasped and stood in front of nonoko in a protecting way.

Mochu and anna kept walking in the amazing long hallway. Anna sighed as she sat on the ground. mochu rolled his eyes.

"now what?" said mochu irritated. Anna pouted cutely. "I am tired". Mochu walked up to her and carried her bridal style. Anna blushed deeply.

"put me down!" said anna as she struggled, mochu didn't looked at her and walked further, despise her struggles.

"we have to hurry, they are waiting for us" said mochu as anna smiled. You care so much about everyone… that is the thing I like the most about you.

Suddenly mochu stopped, he narrowed his eyes as anna got out of his arms. In front of them was a wall. Right in the middle of the hallway. Anna looked behind the wall and narrowed her eyes.

"they put a wall in the middle of the hallway?" said anna as mochu walked around it. he then touched the wall.

Mochu looked surprised as his hand went in the wall. He looked at anna and pulled her with him in the wall.

They opened their eyes as they looked around. "were are we?" asked anna as she looked around. It was like they were underground or something.

"maybe we are under the castle" said mochu as he pulled anna with him to walk. They kept walking as anna stopped and gasped.

"look!" she yelled as she ran to two figures who lay on the ground. mochu looked worried and ran towards them.

"sumire! Koko! Wake up!" yelled anna as she shook them furiously. Sumire stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Anna breathed relieved as mochu helped the just awoken koko.

"what happened?" asked mochu as he helped koko stand up. Anna helped sumire to stand up.

Koko and sumire looked at each other. "we have no idea what happened… the only thing we remember is that we fell and then we met you?" said koko not trusting his own memories. Anna and mochu looked at each other.

"so you're telling me that after you guys disappeared, you fell and just woke up?" asked mochu as koko nodded. Anna looked at sumire.

"what happened to your clothes?" asked anna as sumire pointed at koko's bandage. Anna smiled at sumire. You still love him so much

"I don't understand either that we just woke up… but that is the last thing I remember" said sumire. As anna looked curiously. Weird…

"anyways, let's go… we found a way out" said anna as she pulled sumire with her. Mochu and koko walked behind them through the wall.

"this is one weird castle" said koko as they nodded. Anna cursed loudly as they walked through the wall and ended completely somewhere else.

"I suppose this wasn't the place you entered?" asked sumire. As mochu and anna nodded. They looked at the forrest in front of them. great… more walking" said anna darkly as they walked into the forest.

As ruka and hotaru walked behind the little girl as she was clutching her teddy. She stopped as they neared an lake.

She turned towards them and pointed at the lake. Hotaru and ruka looked weirdly at her.

"do we have to jump in the lake?" asked ruka as he raised his eyebrow. The girl shook his head. She motioned the to come forwards as they stood right in front of the lake the girl smiled.

"look" said the girl as she pointed at the water. Ruka and hotaru looked at each other and then at the lake. They sat on the ground and carefully looked in the lake.

Hotaru gasped and ruka's eyes grew big. They had exactly the appearance of the two guardians. Hotaru looked at the girl. the girl sat on the ground and smiled sadly.

"help us, guardians" said the girl as hotaru and ruka looked at her. Ruka smiled.

"of course we will help you" said ruka as hotaru nodded. The girl smiled as she stood up. She turned her face towards them.

"jump" said the girl as ruka and hotaru looked weirdly at her. "what?" asked hotaru as she narrowed her eyes. The girls smiled. "jump". The girl let herself fall in the water.

Hotaru and ruka looked at each other and gulped. Hotaru grabbed ruka's hand. "let's go shall we" said hotaru as ruka nodded. They took a deep breath and jumped into the lake.

R&R!
