And somehow I fine time to update! But isn't it sad? I'm almost done the
story! I'm just finishing the last chapter now! ~whimper~ But! I've
deciding to make this a series... cuz I have ideas that won't fit into this
story, but can make other ones!
Kim Hayes: ~giggles~ Jen's not an idiot! Well, even if he is, at least he's a kawaii one ne?
Evolution: I don't know what Rika was thinking, but it was funny. A very unique way to biomerge, jumping to your death...
Furor: Understand, Ruki and Jen have been wandering around for weeks with little food and almost no hope that they'll return home. Wouldn't you break down in a situation like the one she's in?
Rock-steady13: You can forgive me now!
One more thing, Tiff is based after my friend. She wanted to be in my fic and steal or annoy Jen, so... Now that all that's said, on with the fic!
Jenrya's POV:
"But Ruki needs me!"
Kaze shook his head. His green eyes gave me a look I'd seen to many times.
"You're not rushing in there and doing anything stupid."
"Kaze you don't understand, I have to help her. If I don't save her who will? I need to go right now!"
I stood up to leave the small cave but Kaze stopped me.
"Jenrya Lee if you rush to help her you'll do more damage! I promise you, she'll be fine."
"You don't understand!" I yelled back.
He quieted. "Actually, I do."
I was shaking with rage. Kaze wasn't helping me at all. He couldn't possibly understand what I was going through.
"You never asked where my partner was Jenrya. You were right, I am a guardian of the air element, but did it ever occur to you that I too once had a partner?"
I sat down ashamed to realize I never had thought about that.
"What happened to her?"
Kaze let out a long sigh.
"The same thing that had happened to Ruki. The theives decided it was too hard to get the element, so they went for the guardian. They want to be equal to us guardians. They want their children to have our powers."
I blinked. "But, I thought that the guardians are chosen. That's like saying Ruki and I are brother and sister."
Nodding, Kaze replied "We know that, but the theives think the power is passed down. They'll try to breed Ruki, and when it doesn't work they'll. . ."
There was a long silence.
"She never had a chance. I couldn't save her. By the time I had found where she was it had been a year. The theives were angry that the child she gave them was powerless, so they killed her." Kaze spoke quietly, his eyes closed in pain of the memory.
"What of the child?" I asked.
"It was killed too. Said that as long as it lived, she lived."
I was shocked. All this was so horrible. And the same fate was to befall Ruki? I couldn't let that happen.
"Kaze, with your help we can save Ruki. Please, I don't want to lose her. I understand how hard it must have been for you, and I'm willing to listen to your ideas, but please just help me get her back."
Kaze gave me a smile. "Stop begging, I'll help you Jenrya."
I bowed my head gratefully. "Thank you Kaze."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night I slipped outside while Kaze was sleeping. The stars twinkled brightly, the moon a cresent low in the sky.
'Ruki, why did all this have to happen? I should have protected you better. It's all my fault. I can't even help my partner when she needs me. Some guardian.'
I ran a hand through my short blue hair and sighed. Ever since we had come here my world had been turned upside down. First the shock of being put in a strange place, then the weird relationship forming between Ruki and I. After that, Kaze telling us we're element guardians and soul mates, if we wish it so. Now, Ruki's been kidnapped and I'm powerless to help her! Would we ever get home?
Home, that word sounded so forgien. It had been weeks since that night we decided to scope out the park with Takato. He must be worried about us. And our parents, they must be freaking. I had to get Ruki and find a way back.
"Ruki-san, stay strong. I'll save you if it's the last thing I do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Kaze and I started walking in the direction we thought the theives were. I was impatient and irratible all day. Kaze just smiled and kept quiet everytime I had an outburst. The first one was when we ran into a dead end. I started cursing outloud, something I don't usually do. The next time it happened was when we heard giggles. I began complaining about annoying sounds and stupid girls in this area not respecting people's quiet. The giggles grew louder as we walked.
"It's coming from behind." Kaze said simply, a smile on his face.
I turned and saw a girl following us.
"Do you mind?!" I asked trying to remain resonably calm.
My answer was more giggles. The girl smiled. "You're funny."
Kaze snickered. I glared at him. This wasn't amusing at all.
"What do you want? We're kind of busy." I was being rude and I knew it. The girl didn't seem to mind though.
"What are you doing?" She asked slyly.
"We're looking for a friend." Kaze explained. "She was kidnapped yesturday by some thieves. Do you know where we might find them?"
I mentally slapped my forehead. 'Please say no. Please say no.'
"Theives? Oh! I know who you mean! I can take you to them if you want."
I opened my mouth to protest, but Kaze was quicker.
"Sure, that'd be great."
The girl beamed. "Wonderful! Since we'll be travelling together I guess I should intorduce myself. I'm Tiff."
"Kaze, and this grump over here is Jenrya." He pointed to me with a wink.
For once I wished I had listened to Ruki. Kaze was annoying sometimes.
Tiff chatted cheerfully with Kaze while I walked in silence. This girl was getting on my nerves. I wanted to find Ruki and get out of here! I glanced over at Tiff. Kaze was telling her the story about how he met me. I groaned.
"So you have a girlfriend?" Tiff's question was directed at me.
"What's it to you?" I demanded.
She giggled yet again. "How does she put up with you? The girl must be out of her mind!"
Insulting Ruki wasn't a good move. I stopped and shot a glare at Tiff.
"Listen, i don't know who you think you are, but just leave me alone. When we find Ruki-san you'll be sorry for insulting her."
"Calm down Jenrya. She was just joking."
I couldn't believe Kaze was standing up for her.
"Fine! If you two would rather chat go right ahead! I'm going to get Ruki and then we're going home!"
Kaze smirked. "Do either of you know how to get home?"
I was silent. Kaze was crossing the line though. He had agreed to help, and here he was talking to some girl we just happened to run into!
"I don't need your help. I'll do this alone."
"Jenrya wait!" Kaze called as I marched off.
"What a grouch." I heard Tiff exclaim.
I clenched a fist. 'Ruki, I'm coming as fast as I can.'
