Voodoo Dolls
~*~*~*~
"Ian!! There it is!!" Ayumi pointed happily to a little cottage house, swishing her tail rapidly.
He looked around, "Hm. Nice place…"
She smiled and grabbed his hand towards her aunt's house.
Ayumi opened the door, "Aunt Garnet!! Uncle Kuja!!"
"Ayumi!! My, it's good to see you, dear!!" Garnet shouted happily from upstairs.
"Hey there." her uncle said from the couch, reading a newspaper.
"How are you?" Garnet asked, hugging her niece.
"I'm alright. Do you mind if we have a guest?"
Garnet nodded, but Kuja raised a brow.
"Do you know him?" he asked maliciously.
Ayumi giggled and nodded, "Of course, silly. He's from my school!!"
He looked at her funny, "Oh, so it's a he?"
Ayumi glared at her uncle. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, UNCLE KUJA!!"
He just laughed and read his paper.
"Well, of course he can come in. I'll make dinner for you after my nap, okay?"
She nodded, hugging her Aunt again.
"Have fun, Ayumi." Kuja said, snickering afterwards.
She lightly punched him on the shoulder. "Oh, shaddup!!"
Ayumi then went outside only to see Ian not there. "Ian? Where are you?"
She checked the shops, factories and buildings, but still, no sign on Ian.
But she forgot one thing… that little farm. The people of the village built bigger buildings so it looks like a metropolis now, but they never fixed the farm, which they needed most for food.
She ignored that fact and searched the farm, and noticed the boy sitting in the grass a bit far away from the farm. Seemed like he was just staring at the sky, which matched the color of her mother's hair.
"Hey." Ayumi said from behind Ian.
He turned to her and smiled. "Hey there. So can I stay or will I have to leave my princess?"
Ayumi instantly blushed and pushed him playfully, "That's not funny!! Why's everyone teasing me!?"
"Heh, it's cause you're easy to anger!!" he shouted out, seeing her sit next to him and folding her arms.
"Hmph…"
He put his arm around her and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm just playin'."
She raised a brow, "Oh? Never thought I would hear a prep saying something that he wouldn't say."
"What's that suppose to mean!?" he exclaimed.
"Preps shouldn't copy what punks do! It's just not right… you guys are 'proper' while we punks are… well not exactly."
"Hmph, so I can't change?"
Ayumi shook her head, "Just be yourself, that's what my father always said."
"Oh… the master thief, Zidane Tribal?" he asked, though shutting his mouth and looked to Aiko. Dammit!! The horrible memories will come back to her!!
"…Yeah, but he died in an accident… I-I saw it… before my eyes, m-my mother and father…" she whimpered.
He hugged her close, "Stay strong, Ayumi… they would hate to see you cry like this… wouldn't they?"
"HELL, LIKE YOU KNOW IAN!!!" she screamed pushing him away and walking away.
"I-I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to…"
She shook her head, "Forget it…"
Ayumi… We're sorry…
She tried to act calm as she went back inside, but it was obvious that she was crying because of the red, puffy eyes she wore on her face.
"I made a bed for both of you, so just dig in the food and relax." Garnet stated, heading in her private room where she read books.
Ayumi got her plate and went straight into the room, where her and Ian would sleep at.
She just ate silently, not saying a word to anybody, then afterwards, she picked up her plate and placed it in the sink.
Ian just sighed and placed his plate in the sink as well. At first she's all happy to see her family again and now she's angrier than a Behemoth!! It's all my fault too…
Ayumi drew a line between them and took half of her stuff.
"What're you doing, Ayumi?" Ian said as he made his way through their room.
"I'm having one side, and you're having the other one. We wont have to sleep with each other."
He shook his head and started going berserk.
"HELL AYUMI, WHAT DID I EVER DO!? JUST BECAUSE OF ONE STUPID MEMORY I ASKED ABOUT, YOU DECIDE TO BE ANGRY!? I ALREADY SAID I WAS SORRY SO WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE A FUCKING BITCH!?"
She came close to him, "WELL, MAYBE IF YOU NEVER CAME TO RESCUE ME, I WOULD'VE BEEN FINE!!"
He started glaring daggers at her as she did the same to him, "FINE!? OH YEAH, RIGHT!! YOU WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD BY THE COLD WIND AND THE BLOOD FANGS!!"
"AS IF YOU CARE ANYWAY!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE!! I DON'T NEED YOU!!!"
"I'D BE GLAD TO!!" he screamed back, running out the room and slamming the door in her face, then doing the same to the front door, startling her uncle and aunt.
"FUCK YOU, IAN!!!" she screamed, burring her head in the pillow and bursting into tears.
Garnet came in and rubbed her niece's back. "What happened, Ayumi?"
"I don't want to talk about it…" she wailed.
"How about we have a little girl talk in my private room, hmmm?"
"…I guess…"
Garnet smiled and helped her niece to the room and closed the door.
"Okay, I have something that could make you feel better!" Garnet said, snickering evilly.
"W-what is it?"
Garnet held a box that she took our of her cupboard and opened it, revealing thread, needles and figures that looked like puppets.
"What're these?" Ayumi asked, staring at the figures with curious emerald eyes.
"They're called voodoo dolls. I learned to make them from black magic, far powerful than your Uncle Vivi's magic."
"…"
"But don't worry, it won't harm you. You have sorcerer blood in you, the magic can never harm it's user." Garnet said comfortingly, releasing a smile.
"Thank goodness…"
"Now, for the steps of making a voodoo doll, here are the directions. Have fun!" Garnet shouted from outside, closing the door and laughing evilly.
Kuja appeared in front of her, raising a brow. "What's so funny?"
She stared at her husband and shook her head, "N-nothing!"
He just smiled and gave her a hug and a kiss.
~*~*~*~
"Finished!! Muahahaha now I get my revenge!!!" Ayumi exclaimed, to no one in particular. She held one of the dolls with her left and the other with her right.
She made the doll in her left hand punch the other in it's face.
"Hehehehehe, feel the pain for not paying me back since I bought you guys comics!!!" she screamed, rapidly making the dolls punch each other.
~*~*~*~
"Phew… are we there yet?" Rand repeated over and over again lazily.
"NO!! FOR THE 100,000,000TH TIME, NO!! NOW SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!" Mat exclaimed at his brother, receiving a punch in the face afterwards.
"MAT!! YOU OKAY!?" the girls exclaimed, seeing the KO'd Mat who crashed into about 5 trees.
"Wow… I dunno my own strength!! HUH??" Rand exclaimed happily, but then stood wide-eyed at the charging Mat.
"WHOA!!" Mat exclaimed, crashing into Rand and fighting him.
"AH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" Rand exclaimed.
"DON'T ASK ME!! I DUNNO!!" Mat exclaimed back.
The girls just stood there, staring at the boys blankly.
Avril shook her head, "Boys will be boys…"
Orli nodded.
Andrew shook his head, "Don't compare me with those two…"
Kiwi giggled, squeezing her boyfriend. "WE'RE NOT SILLY!!"
"So… Where's the popcorn??" Shokufeh asked, pointing to the fight and sitting on a couch that just randomly appeared.
"Right here!!" Orli shouted, sitting next to her and munching on some of the popcorn.
Avril sighed and shrugged, sitting next to them and enjoyed the show.
The girls guessed that if the enemy that's behind this won't get to kill the two brothers, the two will end up killing their selves.
To Be Continued…
