And You Thought
It Couldn't Get Worse

Bad Guy vs. Bad Guy
"I'm back." A wearied voice said into the darkness.
"Did you get them all?" His older brother, Damien asked.
"All but oneI'm having a lunch break if you don't mind." Mikal munched on a peanut butter sandwich.
"Well, where are they?" Damien asked, annoyed.
"You said bring them into this dimensionyou didn't say where!" He took another bite of his sandwich.
"Bring them to me!! And get the last girl!!!"
"All right, all right. I'm done with my lunch anyway." He starts to leave. "I'll find the last one and bring her herebut I don't know where she'll landI'll find all three laterhave some patience, big brother." He leaves, grinning.
"Mikal is an idiot. I only thought itand then he opened his mouth and proved beyond a doubt that it was true. Searching for them twiceand bringing them where the Ronins and Warlords can find them? Where did he get his IQ?!! Both of our parents were very intelligent"
Confusion
"I can't believe they both left me alone at schoolwith them!!" I elbowed the two guys following closely behind.
"Huh?" Anjel's annoying follower asked, confused.
"Go away Kyle. I don't know why Anjel's not here. Ask someone elsebut when I get my hands on her"
Ami's idiotic follower commented quickly, "What about Ami?"
I frowned. "Shawn, go away!! I don't know why she isn't here or where she's atbut trust me, we'll have a heart to heart later!" I sighed. "Now will both of you leave me alone?"
Dumb and Dumber continued following me. I turned and glared at them. Where was Roger when I needed him? I noticed him a little bit away, chatting with friends. Stupid boyfriend, couldn't he see these two morons are bothering me?!! I rolled my eyes. Of course he can't see that, I picked Dumbest for a boyfriend. I have no room to talk about Anjel and Ami's boyfriends
"Get away! Lunch is almost overand I need to get to my lockerI don't need you two imbeciles following me!! Leave. Me. Alone." I left them dumbfounded at the Main Building doors, and walked through.
I stopped. There is a guywith a swordat my throat I flinched, then not feeling the cut of the blade, promptly passed out.

Sage smiled and thrust his blade into his first enemy. Pulling out his bloodied sword he went on to the next. The wind picked up and sent his sword at a strange angle, completely missing his target. "Stupid ghost!" He muttered. He again attacked his opponent, dodging the swift strokes made towards him. "Die already, Talpa! You can't stay a ghost forever!! I will banish you from this world and the netherworld!" He prepared himself to cut Talpa's head. A brunette appeared before him. He looked at the girl strangely as she flinched and passed out. He dropped his sword to the ground, angrily.
"You can't defeat me that easily, Talpa! Sending in one of your beautiful minions to distract me." He glanced back down at the still form and groaned. "On second thought" He kneeled down and checked to see if she was still breathing. After deciding she was going to live, he got back up and grabbed his sword in an attack stance. "Talpawe shall meet again. Do not think, that because I was swayed by your gift to me, that I won't defeat you." The wind blew at him, laughing. "Dang spirit! You shall not win!"
He grinned and picked up the girl. "No wonder she fainted If I saw some strange man about to attack me, who talked to himself I'd probably be shocked too!" He laughed. "Too bad we can't kill Talpa again, it sure brought us closer together. If I could slice at him as easily as against wind" He sliced the air, the wind went still. "And defeat him again, I would." Balancing the girl in his arms, he put away his sword.
"Hmmlooks to me like we have yet another guest." He studied the pretty face, then looked up towards the sky. "Whoever gave them to usTHANK YOU!!"
