"Reviel yourself!" Yamato commanded, brandishing his sword at the shrubbery, "If you do come out, you will be decided an enemy!"
"W-Wait!!" Sora cried, jumping out of the bushes and holding her hands in front of her. "It's me Sora! Not an enemy!"
Sighing in relief, Mimi and he both put their blades down. Turning to the girl in surprise, Mimi wondered why she was there, "Sora, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"No...I..." shading her eyes and digging in the dirt with her foot, Sora blushed, "I...you must've forgotten."
"Forgotten what?"
"You...we...Miki," lifting her face to meet Mimi's eyes, Sora flushed happily, "You defeated Hieze! That means you have also won my hand in marriage and we are now fiances!"
Her eyes becoming dots, Mimi's face paled before she.....fainted.
*****
"So that's it!" Sora cried in astonishment.
The trio was now sitting in another town's bar and discussing the journey ahead. Taking a big sip from her mug, Mimi wiped her mouth in desperation, "So you see Sora, that's why I can't marry you and you should go back. It'll be too dangerous and without the guaruntee that I'll come back alive it wouldn't be fair to bind you to me."
Mimi hoped that was enough to convince the girl to go home but to her dissapointment...
"Miki you're so thoughtful! Don't worry I don't care about the dangers! I'll come to be with you and support your cause! After this whole ordeal is over, THEN we can get married!" she gushed at the idea.
"Sora...I..." Mimi struggled for something else to say but was interrupted by Yamato's mug landing loudly on the table.
"That's all fine and dandy but you must realize how dangerous this will be. Both of you. If either of you are afraid of dying or worse! I urge you to reconsider."
His eyes bore into them and Mimi choked, "I-I'm coming! I already told you I would."
"If Miki is coming then so am I!" Sora confirmed, with a nod of her head. "I can't let my fiance go gallivanting around without me! Plus my powers will be a great help in this journey."
Forcing a smile, Mimi took a large gulp of her drink, "So it's the three of us then..."
*****
"Yamato!!" Mimi whined, trudging through the dirt behind him, "How much longer to the next town? This mud is disgusting and we've been walking through it for hours!"
Sitting on Palmon, since she was a lady, Sora looked down at her 'fiance' sympathetically. "Yes, Ishida-san, when will we arrive at our destination?"
"Oh shut it you two!" he snapped at them, glaring on ahead, "I don't know but the map says this is the only way to the Ringo Forest."
"Through a swamp? This is in-humane!" Mimi couldn't take it anymore. She was up to her waist, coated with slimy mud and Palmon was about to kick Sora off and run like the wind.
"Be a man will you?" Yamato scowled, "If I knew you were a girly guy..."
"I-I am not!" she snapped back at him, blushing. 'I have to stop whining...'
"Then act it," he answered, looking back down at the map, "We should be there soon, in an hour...maybe."
"Maybe??" the girls sighed, in depression, "That's too long!"
*****
Finally arriving at the Ringo Forest, they all gasped in awe. The whole thing was made up of beautiful blue trees but what caught their attention was the fruit growing on them. In each tree was a large number of golden apples, all shining in the bright sunlight.
Walking up to one and plucking, Mimi wondered if you could eat it. "Hey Yamato, what are these? Real gold?"
"No," sliding from his horse Gabumon, he made his way to her, "They are called Dragon's Blood."
"Ew," Mimi frowned in disdain, "What an awful name."
"Many have come and been enchanted by them. Everyone who sees them think they are made of gold and try to plunder as many as they can but actually they are regular apples but only edible to the dragons of this forest. Anyone else who tries will turn to solid gold."
Sora shuddered, "What a horrible fate."
"Yea..." Mimi agreed but trailed off asking, "Yamato...does that mean they're are dragons in this forest?"
"Presumably but I have never seen one. I've heard they are elusive and humans rarely encounter them here. They don't seem to like us," he mused with a slight smirck, "probably because we keep taking their apples and turning to gold. They can't eat us that way."
"Yamato!" Mimi smacked him lightly, "Don't be a joker!"
"Haha, who said I was joking?"
He walked back to the horses with a grin but Mimi still felt unsettled. 'I feel a lot of energy coming from this place...I wonder...'
Concerned, Sora touched her shoulder, "Miki? What is it?"
"Hm? Nothing. Nothing at all," she forced a weak smile.
"Are you sure?"
"Yea, lets go."
***
"Miki, a lake is about five minutes from here, do you think you can go fill our water bottles?" Yamato asked, leaning against a tree in exaughstion.
Tired herself but conceading, Mimi took the bottles and headed towards the lake, by foot. About three minutes into her trek...
*Shwoomp! Shwoomp!*
"What the?!" she stopped, startled by the sudden noise. Listening intently for anymore of the strange sound but heard none. Shaking her head, Mimi went on her way.
"Aw...cool water," Mimi sighed, dipping her hands into the streaming surface. Filling the first canteen up, she hummed a little tune while working.
*Shwoomp! Shwoomp!*
Almost dropping the bottle, she spun around. The sound had been too close...
Taking a few steps back from the water's edge, Mimi clutched a rock to her chest, as the sounds got louder.
Hearing a twig crack behind her, she turned. Dropping the stone in terror, no sound would come out of her mouth as she tried to scream. All she could do was stand, frozen still as the figure got closer and closer...
-TBC...?
A/N: Cliffy!!! Don't you hate these? ^^;; I know this chapter was short but I wanted to end it suspensful ^_- The previous two long chapters should make up for it =p
If you wanna know what happens next, better REVIEW!!!! Or else, Mimi-chan stays "Trapped in the moment" forever =p
