Hikarru: The final destination! Witch Country!
Gaby: Kowaii!
Ali: Do I get to fight off any witches?
Hikarru: You'll see. -smirk-
Ali: Damn you.
Gaby: That's not very nice.
Hikarru: It's ok, I'm used to it already. Now do the disclaimer.
G&A: Hikarru does not own anything pertaining to Soul Eater.
Hikarru: Please vote in my poll! Current votes are: Gaby, 1. Kasi, 2. Ali, 9.
Ali: Told you I'm winning.
Gaby: TT^TT
Hikarru: Please help me win!
Gaby: No way! I want to win!
Ali: Let's just get on with the story.
H&G: Ok.
Ali stared at the letter that she was holding. The Elder witch wanted to see her. Who knows what could happen. However, Ali was strong and determined.
"Keep flying, Boro." Ali told the bird, "We will be there soon."
Boro gulped, obviously nervous about returning to the place that wanted to kill him.
"Are you sure about this?" Boro asked, "We don't HAVE to go."
"Yes, we do." Ali said, "In order to complete my mission, I must get the scroll."
Boro sighed, knowing he would never change Ali's mind. He flew towards Witch Country.
…
It was like Death City, but somehow gloomier. You could feel eyes on you the whole time. Boro dropped Ali off at the entrance.
"I can't go any farther." Boro said, "I am wanted here."
"I understand." Ali bowed, "Thank you for staying with me for so long. This trip would have been a lot harder and less fun without you."
Boro hit Ali on top of her head playfully, "No need to be so formal, kiddo. I had fun as well."
Ali smiled brightly, "Well, see ya!"
Boro smiled before flying off.
Ali took a deep breath before turning around and taking a step into Witch Country.
"So far, so good." Ali said quietly to herself. She continued walking. Eventually, she was walking through the center markets. They were all open, but not a soul was in sight. Ali would of said that was a good thing, however, she knew they were here. She just didn't know "where" they were.
"Lady Shinigami." came a voice.
Ali swung around with her fists ready to punch.
"Calm yourself." the witch said, "I am here to take you to the Elder's house."
Ali lowered her fists, but she kept an eye on the witch the whole time. You couldn't trust witches, for they were unpredictable. The only predictable witch would be…
"Kasi…" Ali muttered under her breath.
"Kasi?" the witch asked, "You mean Hikari?"
"Yeah." Ali said, wanting their conversation to end.
"She was suppose to become Elder." the witch said.
"Eh?" now Ali was interested, "What do you mean?""
"I'm Miyagi, by the way." the witch introduced herself a little late.
"Just talk, witch." Ali said, irritated.
Miyagi huffed and looked like she wasn't going to say anything else, but she continued, "We were best friends when we were little. And the Elder chose her as successor."
Flashback
"Miyagi!" an eight year old Kasi was on the right side of the door, while a ten year old Miyagi was on the other side. Inside the room was the Elder and she was talking to Cassie, Kasi's mother.
"What's the matter, Ka?" Miyagi asked, "Haven't you ever eavesdropped before?"
"No." Kasi admitted, "And I NEVER thought to do it on the Elder!"
"Such a big baby!" Miyagi pouted, "SHH! They are talking!"
The two girls listened through the door.
"Kasi is to be the next Elder." the Elder said, "I don't want you to try and talk me out of it."
"But, Elder-Sama." Cassie begged, "Kasi is just a little girl. She is not ready to take on such a responsibility."
"ENOUGH." the Elder commanded.
The loud boom made even Miyagi and Kasi flinch.
"Please…" Cassie continued, "Elder…"
Suddenly, there was a scream heard. Before that was a hard slap, as if the Elder had gave Cassie a slap across the face.
Kasi covered her mouth. She couldn't believe the Elder had HIT her mother.
"Kasi…" the red-headed Miyagi cowered when she saw the malevolent look on her best friend's face. Kasi growled and burst through the door.
"How DARE you!" Kasi screamed at the Elder, "You have NO right to do something like that!"
"EXCUSE ME?" the Elder shrieked, "You DARE to speak to me in such a tone?"
Kasi got so mad that black flames started sparking out of her body. She began to turn into Tsubasa.
"Kasi!" Miyagi jumped and tackled her friends down, making the transformation cease, "Elder-Sama! Please excuse Kasi's behavior!"
"Hmph!" the Elder frowned, "Fine, but she is going to become Elder, whether she likes it or not."
End of Flashback
"I see." Ali nodded, "So, that is why all those witches came after her."
"Yes." Miyagi said, "It became bad after she fled."
Ali didn't want to believe it, but this witch was pretty… cool? Was that even the word for it?
"We are here." Miyagi stood in front of the Palace of Amaterasu.
Ali gaped, the palace was beautiful. It was a far cry from the town. Miyagi lead Ali into the palace, down a bunch of halls, and finally, they got to the Elder's room.
"Be careful." Miyagi warned.
"Right." Ali nodded and walked in.
"I have been waiting for you, Lady Shinigami." the Elder said with a sinister smile.
Hikarru: And I end it there!
Gaby: WTH?
Ali: YEAH! I though I was gonna be all cool and stuff!
Hikarru: Yeah, but I would of written like SIX pages if THAT happened.
Gaby: That is GOOD!
Hikarru: I don't write 800 pages like you!
Gaby: -pouts-
Ali: -pouts-
Hikarru: Big babies…. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, Mata ne, Mina-San!
