Me: I am SO sorry! It's been so long since I've updated and I let you guys down. It's just that I kind of made a wattpad account and got obsessed with it and then I closed the account because of reasons and I was just too lazy to get back on the computer so yeah. But you guys let ME down too so I'm not that sorry. You guys like totally didn't review and stuff and that was like rude so you're lucky I'm updating anyhow. Anyway, back to the point. I think I'm just going to put the books together so then I'm only making three books in the series so it's a trilogy. (Yeah I know. Three books. Got great ideas). But I still need 70 reviews before I make the second part to the book so you better review. I'm only up to 51 so there's still a while to go. 19 more reviews and you'll have the next part. And I have a question. Should I pick one point of view (and if so tell me which one you want) or keep doing different ones. REVIEW it to me please. Now, on to the story!

Kaoru/Buttercup POV

As the energy reached me I felt myself being pushed and my body hurdling through midair until the wind came at end when my back slammed against a hard object. The breath immediately knocked itself out of me as I slid to the ground and laid there, trying my best to get the air back into my lungs.

"Kaoru!" comes the sound of my friends' distant cries, but I barely hear them. My brain is a bit preoccupied by the darkness trying to take over but I fight against it with all the strength I can muster. That was one hard blow. Then I feel a hand placed upon me, right at the spot where I had cracked my back and probably messed up a nerve in my spine or so. The touch is warm against the fabric of my skin. Light and sensitive as it brushes up and down, again and again, to the cord of my spine. It made me feel reassured, as if everything was going to be okay.

I could feel the pain dissolving slowly into nothing as the hand continuously pressed against my back. I sighed at the loss of pain and calmness that took over.

Then the hand stopped moving and something hot began to press against my back. Not in a way that caused pain but more like numbness as the tingles began to roam around on my wound. The hand was gone and my back was better.

I still laid there for a second, wondering what had just happened. But then I get tired of thinking and slowly lift myself up until I was on my feet. What I saw were dark eyes the color of a forest yet not so much a scary forest but one that enjoys the light. Pale skin surrounded their peach colored lips and their raven colored hair hung over one eye in a very long bang while the rest tied up in one of those I'm-a-rebel-and-much-too-good-for-you ponytails. Butch a.k.a. Katsu.

I hit his shoulder hard.

"Ow!" he screamed rubbing at it. "What the heck was that for?"

"Why were you touching me up like that? Did I give you permission to even go near me?" I scream at him. "You're such a perverted bastard! You make me sick! And I was beginning to think that you weren't all like that but no! All you think about is getting into someone's pants!"

"Why would I do that when I have my own pants?" he says confused. "I don't get it." I cocks his head to the side as if thinking but I guess he gave up. "And I am NOT a perverted bastard! I was healing your back! I was healing you! I saved your life and this is how you repay me? You are the one that makes me sick. You." He jabs his finger in the air in my direction. "And I thought you'd changed and forgotten your old ways but I guess that's never the case, is it?"

"Oh, you wanna back sass me?" I snap. He opens his mouth to continue but heck, I'm not gonna let him finish. "Well if you think you're so smart then why don't you come over here and let me teach a lesson."

"Why would I want to do that if I'm already smart?" he asks sarcastically.

"Uh, guys? Yeah, I don't think this is the right time for one of your arguments." Momoko cuts in.

"And why not?" I snap at her. She raises a hand and I follow the direction until I meet eye and eyes with the beast. "Hell no." I mumble under my breath.

"What do we do?" Miyako says frightened and turning in Momoko's direction.

"What we always do." she answers. "Hyper Blossom!"

I smirk after her and change into my form too, only screaming out my name louder. "POWERED BUTTERCUP!" Miyako followed and as I launched myself up I was pulled back down again and onto the ground, sending me on my butt.

"Ow!" I scream. "What the heck was that for?"

"Who do you think I am?" he says. I stare at him confusingly. "What kind of idiot do you think I'd be if I let you out there to finish my task?"

"A bigger idiot than you are now?" I answer.

"Exactly!" he agrees. "This job was sent to us, not you. Our job is to rescue you and protect you, not the other way round. Got that? So shut up, sit down, and don't do anything unless the creature's charging towards you, kay?"

I nod.

He flies.

Wow. What a fight! I thought to myself. Took 'em that long to bring down a giant hippocroc. Seriously! I laughed and I laughed. I laughed as we all exited the room and went into the indoor hospital. I laughed as they all got treated and put to care. I even laughed as we all walked out and into the night back home. I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. Until Butch slapped me as we turned the corner a few blocks away from my home and away from everyone else.

I punched him back.

"Ow." he muttered. I wasn't laughing anymore. "Well, at least that stopped the giggles."

"Man!" I scream blocking his path and face him up. "You have to stop acting like such a jerk or NO ONE is going to like you!"

He just shrugs. "They don't like me, they don't like me. As long as I like me the world likes me. So I don't see no harm done."

"Your brain is seriously twisted!" I shout. "That's not how it works! Just because you like yourself doesn't mean the world likes you! For all we know, the world could HATE you but you're too stuck up to tell the difference between the two. You're living your own fantasy dream where everything just has to go your way. Well STOP IT! It's not going to happen! It's never going to happen! So just stop and th-"

I got cut off. Cut off in a way I hadn't even imagined possible. Where my brain just blanked and became heavy. Where my body took control and over powered my mind. Where my heart beat hard against my chest that it could be heard within a mile radius. Where lips met and bled into each other letting everything out without your noticing nor the others. Katsu kissed me.

I'm stunned at first, not knowing what to do or whether to just back away. But then his tongue is finally found in my mouth and demanding dominance. I don't know what went over me but I kissed back, only I got his tongue out of my mouth. That was just too disgusting.

I wrapped my arms tightly around is neck and pulled him in so he was closer. Our chests touched and I could feel his heart racing too. I let this go on for about five more seconds when my senses finally came back to mind and I pulled away and out of the kiss and away from his arms. It hurt to let go but boy I wasn't going to show it.

"I… I have to go." And with that said I ran away and let the dark encase me and lure me into the lurking shadows and leave no trace of my being there. What did I just do?

That night I suffered a restless sleep. Twisting and turning in my bed, thinking over and over again what happened, my lung supporting stopping every time I got hot or couldn't handle the pressure.

I'd never thought so much in my life and it was killing me. Tearing me down and shredding me into millions of tiny particles. But what seemed to be thousands of years were only a few hours and I finally fell asleep. Only, my sleep was interrupted as my eyes opened and I shot up on the bed, a piercing scream filling the air and shrilled into the quiet house. I realized that the scream had come from me.

My door burst open and in came my mom with a cup of water she had probably poured for herself but brought up here to throw at the supposed attacker. She stared around the room frantically but seeing no one there, she came to me and handed the glass to me.

"What is it honey?" she asked.

I rest my head against the wall behind me and exhaled relieved as I realized it had just been a dream. Just a dream.

"I'm okay." I tell her. She looks at me with a face that said are-you-sure-your-okay-because-a-scream-like-that-isn't-my-version-of-okay-so-don't-you-dare-lie-to-me-and-tell-me-if-that-was-really-okay.

"I'm serious!" I continue. "I really am okay! It was just a nightmare. Nothing I can't handle. Now go back to bed."

"Tell me about the dream. It helps." she says as if my mouth hadn't just opened. I didn't try fight it though. My mom was just about as stubborn as I myself am.

"Well," I start looking down at my hands and not bothering to look up for a reaction, "It was a dream where I was in but not in. I was there but it was more as if watching myself instead of being in my body. Like being a movie star and watching a movie your in. Your in the movie but your not there and just watching. The only difference being that I didn't remember where I was and it wasn't really me watching. Anyway, what I watched was a bloodbath. A group of six and another group of six fighting against each other to the death. One a dark color and the other a lighter shade, I was in the lighter one, just wanted to let you know. The light group fought it's hardest but the dark group only fought back, and one my one, the light team fell until it was non existent. I was the last to fall and when I had looked up at my attacker, well not me but you get it, I saw a lustful vengeance in his eyes as if he knew it wasn't the end. As if he knew I could still survive and would await to kill me again and again. And if he couldn't, he'd to the next best thing. And I felt that as I watched I looked from someone else's perspective and could read their mind. I knew that this watcher was on our side and here to help, but all he could do was watch. And for some reason, I felt like I knew this person. And I felt like I'd been in this situation before but was revived and saved unlike the rest, and I was put into a new world where I'd do this again and make it right. To tell you the truth, I don't think this is a nightmare at all, but more like a memory that had been locked in the tightest cage of my brain. My only question is, why now?"

I finally looked up at my mom but it turned out more to be down. My mom had fallen asleep and not listened to one word I'd spoken. Figured.

Me: Well tada! That's all I got now. Be sure to REVIEW if you're looking for more and answer my question about who tells the story and everything will be alright. And I know you can't see it very well but I need comments on the new cover too. I made it myself as a matter of fact. So REVIEW and I'll see you soon.
