~Chapter Nine~
The Ninth Sign: Sweet Goodbyes
Is it really over?
It's too good to be true...
~But it is~
I must be insane...
I talk to myself and a voice answers me back...
~Just shut up and wake up, there are people waiting for you~
Since when did the voice get an attitude?
~Wake up...Husky is waiting~
Husky...
(Husky's POV)
Kat led us to a small temporary camp, where we walked through the group of soldiers and volunteers, many of them guiding Dr. Rapson's followers to the city to await their trials, and then we stepped into one of the tents.
Once inside the tent we saw Seth sleeping in a chair beside Chloe who was lying in a make-shift bed. In the opposite part of the tent, Nicky, the guy who really tried to kill us was still out cold being monitored by three guards.
And finally near the back of the tent, "Here's Cooro. He was knocked out when Matt brought him so Dr. Rapson didn't become suspicious of Matt's actions," said Kat. "Matt was actually supposed to bring him to what would have been Dr. Rapson's new hideout."
"Some of her followers might still be around then, if there is a second hideout," said Nana worriedly.
"Don't worry," replied Kat ruffling Nana's hair. "A troupe of soldiers is already on their way to investigate."
"Ok," said Nana.
Cooro looked so peaceful...until he bolted straight up wide awake...
"Cooro? Are you ok?" I asked softly sitting on the make-shift bed.
"H-husky...Husky you came for me! You did! Everyone did!" cried Cooro, tears leaking out of his eyes.
I embraced Cooro and held him close; he buried his face into my shirt and cried. After a minute or two, he looked up at me, smiling.
"You feel better now?" I asked.
"Yeah, a lot better. I'm really happy now. Really happy!" said Cooro wiping his tears away. "You brought Elle too!"
"Yeah, he's a good kid. He was helping us find our way around that hell of mazes," replied Nana. Cooro hugged both Nana and Senri.
"Ah...Elle, what happened? Why are the bandages off?" asked Cooro hugging Elle close.
Everyone watched and probably held their breath too as Elle pushed Cooro slightly away, he opened one eye slowly followed by the next and looked straight at Cooro, Elle froze...
"Is he ok?" asked Cooro, looking to Kat for help.
Kat took a look at Elle before placing him in the bed Cooro was just in, "To me, I believe it's just like what happened to Cooro. You mentioned he lost memory? Well it seems that seeing Cooro triggered his memory to waken."
"But isn't he blind?" I asked. "How could he see Cooro?"
"Yeah, I thought so too," said Cooro.
"Dr. Rapson performed an eye experiment or operation on him last night."
"Chloe?" asked Cooro.
"Hey, Cooro. I told you so," she said.
"You did," replied Cooro.
"You know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah," replied Cooro. "We met yesterday."
"Chloe?" asked Seth waking up.
"Yeah, Seth?" asked Chloe.
"You are an idiot," he said. "A complete idiot."
"You too," she said.
I hope everything works out between those two. They kind of seem like each other's other half. Chloe being the calm and collected one while Seth's the fun, loud and annoying one. Hmmm... Kind of like how I feel about Cooro, he's my other half.
"Kids, Elle's coming too," announced Kat.
We all kind of rushed to see Elle...
"Elle?" asked Cooro.
"..."
"Come on, you remember now, right?" said Cooro.
"...Co...co...ro.." stuttered Elle.
"You can do it!" encouraged Cooro smiling.
"C-cooro...I-I...missed-d y-you!" finished Elle, tears appearing in his eyes.
"I missed you too," replied Cooro hugging Elle again.
It was now over...
Everyone attended Dr. Rapson's trial, even Elle and Cooro. Her trial ended with life in the state-capital's top security prison in the castle as well as her close-knitted followers. A large number of people were hoping for execution. I'm happy as long as she's locked away and never bothers us, especially Cooro or Elle again. But the fact that she didn't put up a struggle when the soldiers came eats away at the back of my mind...
Matt, at first was Dr. Rapson's assistant, then he switched sides and is stuck helping Kat and the state-capital for a couple of years, he also can't leave the city for a long time. I don't think he cares much though.
Nicky, the poor guy is in the worst state than both Elle and Cooro at least mentally-wise anyway. He is in the care of Matt and Kat until he's okayed that he's free of Dr. Rapson's will. It appears that Nicky is Dr. Rapson's first experiment; he was kidnapped from his home when he was just a baby. So he's had a lifetime of rehabilitation to undergo. Chloe's taking part in his rehab because he trusts her more than anyone else at this point in time.
Chloe, turned out did help Cooro out while he was in the hands of Dr. Rapson. Seth and Chloe are making up for lost time; there isn't a time when I see Chloe without Seth and vice versa. (I see a future couple here! Oh god, I'm turning into Nana!) Chloe lives with Kat and Seth now, she's helping out Kat with her work load as a way of making up for what she did. At first I was wary of her but when she opened up about what happened to her, I felt really bad. Her barrier that hid her emotions is slowly breaking away...
Astrid. Nana came up to me, yelling and swearing she'll lay down hell if I ever accepted Astrid's advances. I hadn't a clue what she was talking about (I think it's some strange ability that girls have, they must notice these things better than guys) but I promised her I would never leave Cooro's side.
Astrid was chewed out by Klaus about abandoning her duties and commitments to help out some kids break out of the city. Kat helped lighten Astrid's punishment to just washing the entire castle's dishes for a whole month. I still believe that's a harsh punishment. I think I've been hanging out with Cooro to much, it's making me soft. Oh well...
The hole in the great wall was fixed, so now Seth or anyone else can't escape, I mean, leave the city-state anymore without permission. Kat's already grounded Seth until he's thirty or something for leaving without her permission.
The plan for me, Cooro, Nana, Senri and now Elle was to continue our traveling until we found somewhere we'd like to stay for a long period of time (I think it just might end up being the state-capital). Unfortunately for Elle, he had to stay behind...
Why?
After all the experiments or adjustments as Dr. Rapson called them in her journal (Klaus, when they were going through her office discovered a journal that held all the information about Elle and the adjustments), his body started to break down as Kat called it. So she decided it would be best for Elle to stay in the state-capital for her to be able to provide the necessary treatment and care for him.
Elle didn't like that idea one bit, he wanted to stay with Cooro. I felt really bad for him, I know I would choose to be with Cooro over treatment too.
"Do you want to die?" Kat yelled at Elle.
It was the same argument they had been having for days. Elle wasn't making any sounds but his eyes were red and he had wet trails of tears running down his cheeks. Kat wasn't succeeding in making Elle change his mind until...
"Do you want to put the burden of your death on Cooro's mind for your own selfish reason?" asked Kat seriously.
After that Elle admitted defeat and said he'd stay to let his body heal. Of course for the rest of the time we spent in the state-capital, Elle never left Cooro's side.
Finally having his memory back, Elle realized his body was still a child. Cooro, being freed of the experiments aged accordingly. Elle didn't like being in the body of a child but he sure acted like one at times...
"Elle, you'll be ok," assured Cooro.
It was the day we decided to leave the state-capital. If we continued to stay it would be harder to leave. Of course we all decided to visit regularly since we had made so many good friends here.
Elle didn't respond to Cooro. He crossed his arms and continued to pout. That was a bad habit apparently, while he was in the hands of Dr. Rapson, and he got anything he wanted except freedom.
"You're being rude, Elle," said Chloe smacking him on the head.
"Oww..." complained Elle holding his sore head. He ran up to Cooro hugging him tightly. "I'll miss you, Cooro, be careful! Come back soon!"
"I'll miss you too," said Cooro. "We'll be back soon and before you know it you'll be coming with us."
Cooro and Elle hugged until Chloe was forced to pull (pry) Elle off of Cooro.
It also turned out that the one person Chloe had been looking for was Elle, they were separated after their parents were killed, and Chloe told us that's how they got their anima's to escape being killed like their parents. Yeah, that means Chloe is Elle's older sister.
"Bye, have a safe trip!" called Chloe waving. Elle clung to his sister's side waving too.
"Bye! Guys, Kat wanted to be here but she's busy helping a woman give birth!" said Seth. "Come back...soon...Like...Tomorrow!"
"I second that! Come back...back tomorrow!" shouted Elle.
"Whatever!" I called back.
"Bring me back stuff!" shouted Seth waving.
"We will!" sang Cooro.
"As if!" said Nana. "We don't have money to spare."
"That's something Husky would say," said Cooro. "Nana's turning into a cranky old lady."
Nana looked at Cooro and then to me...She took my staff otherwise known as 'Cooro's Punishment Stick' and smacked Cooro with it...she ended up chasing him down the street...How embarrassing... If anybody asked, I didn't know them...
We literately waved until we couldn't see our friends anymore...
"Wait!"
Senri, Nana, Cooro and I turned to see Astrid running up...
"Hey, Astrid, what's the rush?" asked Nana.
She was breathing hard; she must have run all the way from the castle, (wearing an apron).
"Cooro, here a present!" she said handing him a book.
Cooro opened the book and flipped through the pages. "There's pictures of me and Elle when we were little," said Cooro. "Thanks Astrid!"
"Astrid! Come back here!"
Astrid sighed which sounded like "Stupid Klaus." She waved and then ran off in the opposite direction of the castle.
Klaus then ran by us...
I put my arms around his waist and rested my chin on his head, hugging him. "You were cute as a kid."
"What, I'm not cute now?" pouted Cooro.
"You're beautiful and adorable and..." I started, kissing his neck, biting some spots...
"H-husky...w-we're in pub-pub-lic-c," cried Cooro leaning into my touch as I trailed my fingers down his sides...
I couldn't help myself. Everyone always wanted to be near Cooro and spend time with him; we've barely had any time alone to ourselves...
"H-husk-ky..." moaned Cooro.
"Can you two love birds wait until you get your own room," complained Nana.
A deep blush ran across Cooro's face...
He looked so...
"Husky! Enough!" yelled Nana.
"You're one to talk! I saw you and Senri outside Kat's house last night!" I said pointing at her.
"I have no idea what you're talking about..." said Nana flipping her hair, "Right Senri?"
"Right," agreed Senri.
"You're both liars!" I yelled.
Nana and Senri walked ahead holding hands...and ignoring me...
"Husky..." said Cooro tugging at my shirt. "I love you..."
I smiled, "I love you too." I placed my hands on his hips pulling him closer and then embraced him while capturing his lips into a soft kiss, Cooro wrapping his arms around my neck.
Everything was as it should be...perfect.
"Husky! Cooro!" yelled Nana, "We're going to leave you two behind!"
Cooro started to giggle.
I sighed and grabbed his hand. We started to run to catch up...
Suddenly my feet no longer touched the ground. I looked up to see Cooro's wings out and flying...
"It would be faster if we fly," said Cooro smiling, holding me tight.
"I'll go anywhere with you..." I said, "Anywhere..."
"Husky...you say weird things...but I love you," said Cooro smiled.
The End...
