The Sealed Pendant - Season Two
Episode Eight - Everything's Back To Normal...?


Both Kelli and Kokkei looked up. "You know, Kelli. Don't you just hate the voice entries?" Kelli nodded and turned around to look at Yue, where he was being inspected by a woman with auburn hair, pulled back in a loose pony-tail, and blue eyes. "Mommy." Kokkei whimpered. The woman looked up at her, smiling. "He's nice, sweetie." Kaoru sat up, pushing Kelli away. "Satsuki...?" Mrs. Mead looked over at him then at Kokkei's mom. "Hey, chicken little." Kokke felt herself being picked up. "Hey." she laughed, "Steven." Her older brother, with the light brown, "wet-looked", hair, and golden eyes, smiled down at her. "You owe me a cell phone." "Ah." She sweatdropped and he set her down on her feet. He looked over at Kelli, who just stared at him. "You're.. my sister too, right?" She shrugged. He smiled then tucked his hands inside his jacket pockets. Their mom dragged a young boy with red-orange, nearly flaming, hair, orange eyes, and red fingerless gloves, over. He was dressed like any regular person, just in Hannya's school uniform, which was like Sakura's, only it was a dark blue and long sleeved, with the collar buttoned up like a turtleneck.

She grabbed Kaoru and pulled him to his feet. "Eh." He went limp. "Which one's cuter, honey." "Fiery." Kelli crawled across the grass and clung to the fire-haired boy's waist. "Guess she picked him." "I know it's you. Why are you joking around?" Kokkei's mom let go of Kaoru. "I'm sorry. My name is Nira Akarui." "Mom. How'd you get here? Here, here?" "Get to the park? Simple. I drove. You over there!" Nira turned to Ceaira and Hannya with open arms and they became frightened. Tori and Julian pulled away as the girls were scooped into a hug. "I've heard so much about you! Sweet kids, you are." Ceaira gasped for air, "Ma'am! We need... to breath." "Oh." She let go and they fell. "Satsuki!" Kaoru grabbed Nira's wrist and pulled her down, kissing her. "Whoa there." Li said, taking a step back. "That's wrong." Meilin mumbled. Satsuki and Layla gasped. Kokkei and Kelli stormed over there to pull him off, but he moved back. Nira covered her mouth and stared at him. "I swear... you get more and more forward every day." She removed her hand to show a smile. "Kayo-san." "Um... this is too weird." Sakura pointed out, "And I know I'm not the only one who thinks so." "So, why don't we head on over to Eriol's nice, big, comfy place." Meilin suggested.

Everyone had some kind of agreement with that, except Eriol himself. "No way. Uh-uh. It was ruined the last time, still is." Madison giggled as everyone walked on. "They really do listen to you, but everyone's so happy right now, that they don't really care." He smiled. "Yeah, I know. I'm glad too." "So..." They walked after the group, "You're staying, and you've lost your powers?" "Basically, yeah. A normal teen that's gonna grow old with his soon-to-be-in-a-few-years wife." Madison smiled and leaned on his shoulder. Nira had latched arms with Yue and Fiery, in his new body, dragging them along. Kokkei, Kelli, and Steven walked along, sweatdropping at their mother's behavior. "You're a liar, Eriol Hiirogizawa." Eriol blinked and looked down at Madison's head. "What do you mean?" She held up her hand, twisting the ring on her finger. He chuckled. "Ok. So I have a little magic left. Just a few tricks. I bought the ring, just needed a way to get it on your finger." She pinched him and he yelped. "I'm gonna divorce you when we get married. Just for the spite of it." "That's mean." She shrugged. He groaned and leaned his head lightly on hers. "All's fair in love, sweetie." "Sure. Anything you say." Eriol snaked his arm around her waist. "Oh, and that kiss, only a better excuse to get one..." "Madison." "I can just add a little more to it." "Madison." "Like you being intimate--" "Madison!" Madison squeaked and ran away, with Eriol chasing her. "You I was kidding." she laughed, stopping at Sakura's side, who was finishing a sentence with Li. "... So, I'll just call my dad from by Eriol's then. It's not really a big deal. The weekend starts tomorrow anyway." Li nodded and pulled her close, kissing her. "Aww." Madison and Eriol said together. They sweatdropped.

"Satsukiiii!" "Call her "Nira", please." The real Satsuki grumbled. "Whatever. Nira!" "Young man. I am your elder--" "Not on your life." Nira tilted to the side, sweatdropping. Kaoru smirked. "You're no fun." "Mom, you should be acting your age." Kokkei scolded. "Righteo." Nira turned into a shriveled old lady with a crooked cane. "How's this, sweetie?" she said in a raspy voice. Kokkei and Kelli facevaulted, leaving imprints in the ground. Steven just chuckled, "Now I see where Kokkei got it from." "Shut up." She kicked his feet from out under him as Nira changed back to normal. He put his hand out under him, flipping back onto his feet. "Wow." Hannya murmured. Julian looked at her then at Tori, who just shook his head. Kokkei flipped up also. "So we can all perform. Great. Let's go!" Meilin yelled. "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" A chibi Meilin hopped all over the place as everyone stared at her. "That's the spirit!" Nira cheered. "Mom." Kokkei sighed, "What's gotten into you?" "Well, Kayo for one. And that's how you became the descendant of him, and..." Her children blocked her out as she rambled on. "We're here!" Everyone looked up as the chibi Meilin bounced in front of them. Eriol's mansion loomed in front of them, in the darkness.

Eriol pulled away from Madison and ran ahead, after Meilin. "I tell you, it's a mess! You don't want to go in there!" She wailed and sped up. She ran to the door and pulled it open as Eriol stopped behind her. The door creaked open and lights flooded out, showing how a mansion really look. Eriol stared at everybody. Kokkei looked like she was about to explode; she was giggling like a crazy person. "Kokkei, please." Eriol pleaded. She opened her mouth wide and started cackling. Everyone shrank away from her, except for her mom, who had a big smile on her face. Kokkei brushed past Eriol in a blur. "Akemi! Yeah, hi." "How'd she get on the phone so quick?" Li asked, blinking. "It's sometihng we girls do." Sakura giggled. He swetadropped and gave a mushroom sigh. Hannya yawned, "We're having a party...?" Kokkei's head poked out. "Nope. A slumber party. Sleepover. Pajama party!" Eriol melted and Madison mopped him up. Layla, Nira, and Satsuki walked in, inspecting the place. "Well, then. We're the chaperones." the said in unison. Kokkei shuddered. "They all sound the same." "Nope." Steven said, "Mom's voice is a little higher. Can't ya hear her?" Kokkei giggled as she looked at him, then looked around. "Where's Kelli?"


Kelli sat outside, under one of the large trees in Eriol's backyard, with Fiery hanging down from the branch above her. She plucked at the grass then it from her hands. She looked up at him. "How'd it happen?" "You did it." "I did?" "You're hopeless." She grinned and he shook his head. "Is there something else I can call you? Since you seem to be going to go to Hannya's school, which is... mess up, you can't use "Fiery" all the while." He pulled himself up and jumped down next to her. "Well," he whispered, leaning in close to her, "You can call me anything you want." She smiled nervously. "Well, "Takibi" is ok, and it still means "fire" when you think about it." "Whatever." He held her shoulders and the robe burned away. She was back in her school uniform. He pushed her gently back on the grass, kneeling over her. She put her hands on his chest as he leaned down. "Fourteen-year-olds shou--" "Neither," he whispered, "Of us is fourteen." She pulled her hands away and he continued.

"Sweetie!"

Takibi's eyes glowed and the grass around the two was burnt. Nira hung from the upstairs window, little exclaiming, red lines around her. "No making out while we have guests!" she sang. "She's loud enough to wake the neighborhood." Takibi growled. "I think she's stoned." "I'm not, darling!" Kelli hit her head on the ground, then developed swirly eyes. He kissed her forehead and stood, helping her. "Should we go inside?" "Not right now." Kelli sighed, leaning on Takibi's shoulder. "How about the roof?" "Hmm. I guess. But the stairs are inside." "Not, they're not." He waved his hand in front of them and a fiery spiral shot up towards the roof, forming into stairs. "Cool." She stepped away from him and skipped up the stairs. Takibi walked up behind her, each time, after stepping off one step, it disappeared in a puff of smoke. As Kelli came to the top, she groaned, "Get your own roof, people." Ceaira and Tori looked at her then turned back around to watch the night sky. Kelli growled and raised her hands Takibi hooked his arms into hers, pulling them behind her back. "Chill." he whispered, kissing her neck. "With you, that's not possible." she giggled. "This is not Make-Out Point up here." Ceaira pointed out. "It's Lover's Lane." Tori added, both him and Ceaira laughing a little.

Takibi bit Kelli lightly and she yelped. He licked the spot. "No markings!" "If you two don't leave," Ceaira threatened, "I'll leave a black and blue mark on you." Kelli stuck her tongue out at the backs of the older lovers. "She forgets who I am." she muttered. "Yes, dear." Takibi snickered. She elbowed him and he laughed. "Leave!" both Tori and Ceaira shouted. The two disappeared quickly in a cloud of black smoke. They appeared in the room Eriol always kept locked. "Holy smokes!" Kelli laughed, looking around. "Off limits!" Kelli ducked out of the way and Takibi got hit with the bottle thrown. He fell over, twitching. Eriol glared at Kelli. "Now I see why you kept this place locked. Private little Jacuzzi. With your little girlfriend." Madison sat on the edge of the hot tub, staring blankly at them. "Get out!" Eriol yelled. "You're the hos--" "Wrong." he said, cutting her off, "Kokkei's the host." Kelli held up her hands. "My mistake." "Now leave." She smirked and knelt next to Takibi, both of them disappearing. Eriol sighed and turned back to Madison, who still hadn't moved, and smiled apologetically.


Kelli appeared away from the edge of the indoor, downstairs pool. Takibi groaned and sat up, holding his head. "Where are... why are we near water?" Kelli shrugged and took off the jacket of the uniform. "But I can go swimming." She took off the shirt and tossed it in the pile that was forming. He raised an eyebrow. "You're welcome to join me, you know" He blinked as she took off the skirt then the socks and shoes. Kelli walked to the edge and dipped a foot into the water. "Eep. Cold." She pulled it out. "Join me. Hear it up." Takibi slowly stood. "Come on." she whined. "Fine." he grumbled. He pulled his shirt off over his head, after taking out the two top neck buttons, then took off his shoes and socks slowly. Kelli crossed her arms and huffed. Takibi smirked. He unbuttoned the pants and slowly pulled them down, his hips swaying a little to the side as he shrugged it past them. He looked up at Kelli was lust-filled, half-lidded, fiery eyes, as he pulled the cloth off completely. Kelli exhaled and fell backwards into the pool. Takibi straightened up and smiled, walking over and kneeling down as she came back up. "It got... too... hot." she breathed. He laughed and sat down, letting his legs sink into the water.

He reached down and brushed his fingertips over her cheek. She giggled then grabbed his arm, dragging him into the water. He came back up, sputtering out water. He spit some at her and she held up her hands, laughing. Kelli dived under and tugged on his legs. "Quit it." Takibi said above water. He looked up when he heard voices, over at the entrance, then gasped, looking down as Kelli popped up. She held up his underwear, a big grin on her face. "People are coming!" he hissed. She gasped and looked at the door as it opened. "Air pocket. Air pocket." She held his shoulders and he grabbed her by the waist, both of them sinking, a near invisible bubble forming around them, as a group of people walked in. Kokkei peered at the group from the doorway. "Towels are in the locker room and I hope you enjoy." She turned, but then turned back. "I'll heat up the pool for you. No one's used it in like, forever." The girls nodded. She walked to a panel on the wall, opening it and turning a red knob. The girls smiled and walked to the lockers. Kokkei sighed, smiling, and left.

Kelli held her hand up, clenching the fist and their pile of clothes disappeared as the girls walked by. "This is your fault." she hissed. "Me? You're the one all "join me for a swim", you know." "But if you didn't get all sultry strippy, we would've been swimming." "You took my underwear, which I need back by the way." She handed them to him and held him around the waist as he put them back on. "Let's get out of here before they come back out." Kelli said, hearing giggling from the girl group. The clothes appeared in her hand and they both disappeared.
