Chapter 4; What are friends for

Later on in Doremi's Room
(AKATSUKI POV)

"Hey Doremi Chan?" I asked coming into her room. She was sitting on her bed reading a book. "AKATSUKI KUN HI!" She said happily as I smiled. "Where were you?" she asked. "I was with the others, haha they told me about you being so sweet and cool." I told her as she blushed. "Awe they are so sweet. They seem so cool to me and each one of them already makes me feel like I am friends with them." She tells me as I smiled. "Hey Akatsuki Kun can I ask you something?" She asked as I smiled. "Of course." I told her as she smiled. "Do I have any friends besides you?" She asked me. I knew this would come eventually telling her about her friends. "Yeah actually they..they haven't been able to see you either. I haven't been able to get in contact with them. Once your fully recovered i'll bring you to them.." I told her as she smiled. "Oh okay so wait you know i'm ready tomorrow right?" She asked me as I was surprised. "What?" I asked. "Yeah the doctor told me about it. He said my scars will be fully healed by tomorrow." She said showing me her head with the bandages and stitches. "Oh that's great.." I said. Great now she'll leave soon..leave me. "So um Akatsuki Kun wanna do anything fun before I leave?" she asked me as I thought before smiling. "Yes definitely. I have a show we can watch. It's called Battle Rangers." I told her as she seemed intrigued. "Battle rangers?" She asked as I smiled.

Later

"My prince...My prince...AKATSUKI!" yelled a voice as I looked up to see Oijy looking concerned. "Ah Oijy?" Iasked confused by his concern before I looked around and saw that to my side was Doremi asleep on my shoulder. We were still sitting on her bed watching the episodes of battle rangers. As I got up and left the room I had a noticeable blush on Oijy smiled at. "What?' i asked him confused. "Nothing just young love." He says as I catch on. "I don't love her she's just a friend." I told him. '"Oh so she's a friend not a target?" He asked as I frowned. "Yes she is a target but I care about her a little okay.." I told him. "I understand...but you know everything we worked on will crash down soon..once she learns the truth and goes back to them...our lies will be fully in the open." he says sadly as I nodded. "I can lie about finding her a while and using magic to trick her and everyone else. With the confusion getting Hana will be easy.." I say as unbenounced me a door opened.

(Doremi POV)

I had woken up to find Akatsuki Kun was gone. I was sad because I loved cuddling with him...yes I know it may sound cliche but I like him alot. I may even have a crush on him. See the Fox and the Flower is my favorite book cause I see so much of Akatsuki and me in the boy blacksmith, Miles and the young garden maiden, Cosmo. I was very much like cosmo needing to be saved but trying to make everyone smile while Akatsuki was the brave one who saved me like Miles had done only Akatsuki was always brave. Anyway as I sat in my room I heard him talking someone. Now I was told never to leave my room as I could get hurt easier but I was just gonna peak. As i did so I opened the door slightly as I saw Akatsuki Kun talking to Oijy. "So what's your plan?" He asked Oijy. "bring the rest of them and we'll get Hana when they walk with her." He told him as he frowned but nodded. "Fair enough...okay let me get them." He says as his hair twinks like Oijy did and suddenly the rest of the FLATs were their. What the heck! I mean Oijy making a piano appeared I thought meant there was one in the hospital that he rose or fell into the room but Akatsuki just made his friends appear at random. Could it be Magic? I thought. "Ouch akatsuki why are we here?" Leon asked. "Were gonna get Hana tonight.." Akatsuki said as that shut them up. Hana?' I asked whispering however the name sounded familiar. "Are you sure?" Fijio asked. "It's our job to.." Akatsuki said sadly. Why was he sad. I thought as I then saw all of them teleport for lack of a better term away. "What?" I asked confused fully opening the door. "I'm going to get to the bottom of it." I said as I looked around more but my head began to hurt so I went back in my room.

(Akatsuki POV)

"DAMN IT" I said angry as we got back into the castle. "Akatsuki calm down." Fujio said. "How can I that was our last chance to get Hana and Major Rika of course had to interrupt things." I Said as they looked sad. "Akatsuki..Kun." said a voice as I froze as well as everyone as her door opened to reveal Doremi with a confused but a slightly mad look. "Doremi..Chan" I said scared. "We need to talk...all of us." she said looking at the Flats and Oijy. Shit..I thought. As we sat in her small room she looked at us. "Okay I want no more secrets..who am I. Who are u and who is Hana?" She asked as we all freaked out but my mind went blank. I sighed as I knew I had to answer the truth. "Doremi Chan please hear us out.." I told her as she nodded. "You are not in the human world right now. You are in our world the wizard world.." I said as I used magic to deactivate my enchantment and make her room normal. She looked around. "So you guys are wizards?" She asked as they nodded as did I. "And this is the wizard...world" She says as she looks out the window which now showed the outer part of the room and it was chilling sight if her reaction is any indication. "What happened here?" she asked. "Our former king bet the land of the wizards with the queen of witches. The queen won and gave us this land to live on. This land is very poor for raising new wizards and thus our population has decreased to 10% of our former land." I explain as she looked horrified as Oijy began to explain everything else. "The king originally wanted only my help to capture Hana chan...she is a very powerful witch baby on par with even our magic and could help our world. As such we need to get her." He explained to her. However we have had difficulties involving human witch apprentices who wish to keep her away from us...you were one of them." He said sadly and ashamed as she looked shocked and confused. "I was?" She asked. "The….Doremi please hear me out I didn't mean to do it..but it's my fault you lost your memory." I told her as she gasped. "You were trying to master a spell to capture Oijy and I decided to snap the spell so you wouldn't use it but then….it snap..the tree snapped and it hit you and I brought you here...I brought you here to recover." I told her as she looked confused betrayed and horrified. "I'm sorry...none of your friends know your here, none of your parents know either….I was gonna tell you everything but then I realized we need Hana...but I can't get her with you here and I don't think I can when you go back. I know I'll see you as a friend...as close to me as the FLATs are not a target. I enjoyed my time with you the past few weeks but i'd understand if you never want to see me or the others again….i'm so sorry…" I told her as my feelings took over as I cried. The flats and Oijy were silent as well but I could feel the sadness from them. "Akatsuki Kun…" Doremi said as I expected anything. A slap, A kick, A punch or anything but I wasn't expecting what she did. "It's okay.." She said as she hugged me. She hugged me. I looked up and gave her an extremely confused expression. "Why?" I asked choked up. "Because..your my friend..all of you are..even you Oijy..you've taken care of me all this time..and you made me happy and I know it's genuine from your tears and expressions. Were friends and even though you've tried to steal this Hana from me..I don't care because I now know you don't wanna hurt me." She told me as she went back to face outside. "so..I'm gonna help you get Hana.." She told us as our expressions went from shocked to absolutely confused. "Your gonna help us kidnap Hana?" I asked extremely confused why Doremi of all people would do that. "We'll the way I see it is the girls who are my friends won't see reason even if I tell them this..they'll think you kidnapped me and I think the best way to not do that and still help is to help you get Hana. They won't expect me they'll be on the guard for you though not for me. So if you need me to help you I will because we're friends." She told us as we were shocked but I smiled. "I don't know what to say Doremi Chan but thank you…" I said. "As for how you can help I do have an idea." Oijy told her as she nodded. "Okay lead the way." She said as I smiled. I thought when I tell her the truth my bound with her would be ruined but now it feels even better however I noticed something odd. She was blushing a great deal when she said we are friends...I wonder why?
