Disclaimer: I do not own this anime whatsoever.
Ayumi Kudou: Request done! I think you'll like it. I'm not sure if my humor is the best but I tried. Also what part of the last chapter was like a Pocahontas scene? I can't see it at all. Well, I haven't seen the movie in years so I guess that's why but I'm still confused.
"Ne ne. Have you guys noticed that Teacher has been acting wierd?" Mei asked worriedly as she saw Yao staring at the pond in front of him. Hyung Soo and Yong Soo nodded in agreement, concern also plastered on their face.
"Ever since Noona left, aniki has been a lot more quiet and strict da ze," commented the childish of the Korean twins.
"He's been thinking a lot but I doubt its about making up with Noona. The time he went to talk to her a few weeks ago only ended up with him coming home angry," Hyung Soo added.
"Not only that but did you guys here what happened in Vietnam? Jie jie's boss was murdered and then Jie jie just disappeared right after he died. It's as if life is turning upside down for Jie jie and Teacher!"
"Hmm... If we know Noona, she's probably in the most unlikely places thinking her life over and over again. After doing that, she'll most likely come up with a decision that is too normal or very eccentric." Mei giggled at the thought.
"Just thinking about it makes me laugh," the Taiwanese girl said. Yong Soo gave a wide grin and Hyung Soo also smiled after seeing the girl laugh after several weeks of concern and depression. Her smile soon turned into a small frown as she thought of how she missed the old days where they could just laugh and play.
From a distance they did not notice a shadow in a shape that was not physically there. No one noticed that it was watching the three people who were watching Yao. The shadow slithered back to the Chinese man after his observation.
"It seems that they believe that you are acting strange."
"Let them be. They are only worried at this point. If their thoughts go any further I will deal with them aru."
"As you wish but do be aware Yao. One wrong move and they can turn against you completely." The Chinese man was silent, not wanting to make a come back at the statement mainly because he knew it was true. Second was that people were watching him so he couldn't act as he pleased. He was disappointed really. Viet changed her beliefs so immediately as if what she had learned before was just trash. Simpler garbage that did not have any purpose to their lives was a better way to explain it. That was how she acted. Viet would pay dearly.
"We have arrangements to maker aru. Let's go." Yao stood up, startling Mei, Yong Soo, and Hyung Soo. He walked into the building and was out of sight.
"His eyes were cold. They aren't as lively as they once were," Mei noticed. She shivered seeing how she had never seen this part to Yao before.
"We can only watch from afar da ze. I even know when we have to keep our distance from aniki da ze."
Hyung Soo could only wonder what might have happened to Yao. As Yong Soo said, they could only wait.
Iceland
"Arthur is holding another meeting. Heh, is he thinking clearly? To even send it to me is quite idiotic."
"It could be that he is planning a trap."
"With what? His magic? He doesn't have the power to stop me."
"But your brother does."
"Do not speak about him to my face!"
...
Emil was breathing heavily in anger. The letter in his hand that informed him of the European meeting was crumpled. His face was red and the shadow could only guess why he was acting the way he was. After several minutes of his head cooling down, Emil slouched back into his armchair as he stared at the crumpled up paper in his hand.
"I'm jealous. Lukas says he wants to spend time with me but his eyes are on someone else. That Asian woman. Ever since we met in Egypt... Lukas wasn't interested in the Seychellois girl but in the Asian one. His eyes always sparkled and showed concern for her. His attention, his mind was always on her. I want her gone from this world. That way I can have Lukas to myself."
"It is possible to do what you are thinking. I propose a plan." Emil looked at the shadow next to him. His eyes interested in what the plan would be.
"Shall we take your brother hostage, the Guardian of the Fire Bird will definitely go to his rescue. The only way for her to be ridden from this world is for her to kill herself for your brother's sake. We can also cast a spell where he is under your control."
"Is it possible to do that? To him? To make him forget about her and to only look at me, his dear little brother?"
The shadow chuckled at the naive boy. "It is and it is to break his heart. That is when he is the weakest and we will be able to take him over."
Emil was silent, thinking the idea over. It was a possibility but would he really break if she had died. "We are going to have to do some psycological play if we want to get this done. To engrave in his mind that she will get hurt and will keep on getting hurt. One step at a time he will break and his heart will be in millions of pieces, impossible to put back together."
"You are very possessive Emil."
"Only because I know the pain Lukas went through. No one else can understand his pain like me."
"So, how shall we start this plan?"
"By starting to change the world."
International Prison of Germany
"Someone's setting us up. We didn't do anything but fake evidence was put in for us to be here. I don't even know what kind of crime we committed! They keep on saying that we wanted to get these orbs so that we could take over the world! I really don't understand," exclaimed Matthias. His face was in his hands as he tried to make sense of the events from the past few weeks.
"I understand that you are frustrated but we have to keep a cool head. If we don't, we might not be able to get out of here alive. Lukas, Tino, and Emil should be okay but they might be worried a lot," Berwald said.
"We can't really do anything about it. They watch us a bit too closely now that I think about it. Something's definitely wrong. The Swede nodded his head in agreement but the latter didn't see nor did he really cared for it at this point in time. What he wanted was to get out of that cell and demand an explanation why he was in there because he knows that he was innocent. He isn't an idiot for lying about something that big- whatever that big thing was that kept him and Berwald in a cell.
It was midnight or somewhere around there. That was all the two blondes could tell. They lost all sense of time or at least how long they had bee i the cell after constant worrying. There was a box-shaped hole very high in the wall, kept closed with steel bars but which led to the outside world. From that little hole, Matthias and Berwald could tell around what time it was or the general area of time. Having been trained since they were little, they could give a pretty accurate estimate about what time it was saying that they had nature to help them prove it.
CLICK! CLACK! CLICK! CLACK!
Matthias lifted his head up to the unfamiliar noise of metal tapping or hitting into something else solid and hard. No, it was from the cold, cobblestone floor. Someone was walking their way. The sound of footsteps were clearer but it was nothing like the boots he usually heard in the cellars from the past few weeks.
"Did you hear that?" asked Berwald. His voice was laced with concern and wariness.
"Yeah." The two stared out of the cell, ready for what was to come... or as ready as they could ever be with their bare hands.
"Catch her!" The two were surprised when they heard the yelling. It was farther away than the footsteps that were now rushing towards them. In several seconds, a silhouette appeared in front of them, the figure facing their barred cell. In the figure's left hand was a spear that glinted in the moonlight from the hole high above their heads.
"What are you doing here?" asked Matthias automatically as he felt threatened.
"Helping you escape," answered a feminine voice with a familiar yet unfamiliar accent.
Kyoto, Japan
"What's going on?" demanded the Japanese man to one of his soldiers.
"I-it seems that a large storm suddenly appeared sir! Earlier it was clear, blue skies but now dark clouds just suddenly appeared. That's all I know!" The sound of lightning cracked and echoed throughout the room. Thunder followed right after the sound of the lightning ceased.
"Go and make sure that all the citizens are secured in their homes. Be prepared for the worst," ordered Kiku.
"Yes sir!" The soldier left to do what he was ordered. Everything was turning upside down for Kiku. First, Viet left and became neutral only to give more confidence to their enemies. Second, after Yao came back from 'visiting' Viet, he was definitely angry only to cause anxiety throughout the family. Third, a storm suddenly appears in the sky, enraged by something and will most likely cause a tsunami meaning that millions of innocent people will die in Japan. Lastly, Kiku was frustrated and could not think straight.
Usually the Japanese man would have a cool head and always had a plan for something but not now. Not when there was so much drama occuring in his family and the war finally taking a toll on his aging body or so that was what he liked to describe it.
Either way it was not good for him to just sit around even though he felt useless, knowing that he couldn't do much, even if he tried to evacuate all the port cities. Much to his dismay, the power for the electrical lights had shut down as well. His world was definitely being turned upside down.
His office phone rang. This phone as well as other appliances throughout the building had its own power source just in case something like this happened.
"Hello?"
"Kiku, it's me, Yao."
"Ah, Yao-san. This is a bad time. I'm trying to evacuate my people from the port cities now and I need my focus on them..." Kiku was cut off by silence. Something was wrong with Yao. He usually has something to say but now... he's quiet. "Yao-san, are you okay?" Kiku asked, hoping to get the Chinese man's attention.
"Don't worry about the clouds Kiku. They aren't meant for you aru."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm just getting enough energy to look for Viet and claim what is rightfully mine and the ruler of the dark. That is all," Yao replied calmly yet with a dark tone in his voice.
"What do you mean rightfully your's and the ruler of the dark?"
"You will see in time Kiku. There is no need to worry aru. I will move the clouds to where I want them to be."
"Yao! Yao, what are you planning? This isn't like you!"
BEEEEEEEEP-
Yaohung up leaving a speechless Kiku on the phone. Was this why Nee-chan left? Did she see the change in Yao before all of us did? But why did she leave? Couldn't she have found a way to prevent this? Kiku was confused and even more frustrated. No longer was his world being turned upside down. It was getting destroyed. He no longer understands what is right or wrong. There was a coldness, a darkness, to Yao. He isolated himself. He became a lot more cool-headed. He didn't interfere with their personal lives or even bothered to call to see if he was okay.
Why did he call? So many questions were left unanswered.
Omake
Me: Sorry to end it short but I'm having writer's block now. That mean's I'll be leaving a lot of cliffhangers and short chapters. I hope you guys don't mind. I'll also be changing how I do my Omake in the future. Not now but in the near future. I'm also sorry for taking a long time to upload. I've been busy with school work and reading other fanfictions.
Please review. Leave any comments, questions, or concerns you might have. Thank you~
