DISCLAIMER: I only own the story and some of the names
Ghost: I'm REALLY! Sorry for confusing you Blue I had too many ideas running through my head at once but I'll explain Trista is Luna's dark side and because Trista has Luna's body Luna can only been seen when someone looks into a mirror, I hope you're not confused anymore? Anyway I better warn you this chapter is a little mushy if you don't like romance.
WITCH BLADERS
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE OLD BOND
Man how slow can the day go? Tyson complained
I know what will keep you occupied Thorn said smiling
Come with me and we'll go to the games room. She said
Man this place is cool. Tyson said looking around
It should be it belongs to the king of the faeries anyway let's play. Thorn replied throwing him a pool cue
Tyson began to arrange the balls in the triangle a ninja appeared behind him.
Tyson get out of the way. Thorn said firmly the ninja had a metal mask over his mouth and nose.
He somersaulted onto the pool table and kicked Thorn in the face the impact of the kick made her spin in mid-air then fall to the floor.
That was uncalled for. She said getting up and rubbing her sore jaw
The ninja somersaulted off the table and landed behind her she gave him a special kick to the face then somersaulted onto the table picking up the pool cue and using it to block his punches.
She back flipped off the table and kicked the black ball out of the net pocket; she did a high kick and sent the ball at the ninja it hit him between the eyes and left a dent the ninja then vanished.
Talk about everybody Kung Fu fighting, where'd he go? Tyson asked amazed
His kind have a habit of doing that don't worry about it Thorn replied knocking the white ball into the triangle and beginning the game.
Time went by pretty quickly and evening soon came.
Dusk and Dune decided to go down to the training room with Kenny, Ray, Tyson, Max and the Majestics leaving Thorn and Kai alone.
She was lying on her stomach in front of the fire playing with some cards, Kai came in and handed her an ice pack for her jaw.
Since when did you care? She asked as he sat down in the armchair in front of her.
Since forever he answered
Dusk told me they did your tarot cards today while you were busy breaking your knuckles she said glancing at the bruises on his hands she took some ice cubes out and handed them to him.
I have no future I make my own destiny. Kai said trying to act manly Thorn smiled weakly
Everyone is a porn in this chess game no man makes his destiny. Thorn said shuffling the cards
So what did the cards say? He asked
To have a future you must reconcile with your past so you can live in the present. She replied
She spread the cards out.
Pick one from each side and one from the middle. She asked
He did it and gave the cards to her.
She turned one card over.
The lovers She said showing him the card.
*** Flash back ***
I dare Thorn to kiss Kai. A girl giggled
Fine she replied coolly she went up to Kai and kissed him gently on the cheek
He felt a tingling sensation.
A girl kissed Kai. A boy teased
Why don't I dare all the girls to kiss you? Kai asked
The boy fell silent.
*** End of Flashback ***
Kai snapped out of his dream and looked at her; she turned over the second card.
The Empress. Thorn said showing him the card.
*** Flashback ***
When my grandfather gets too old he says I will have his castle and I will be king. Kai boasted
But your majesty you need a Queen. A girl said
Yes King Kai who will be your Queen? A boy asked
He saw Thorn silently sleeping in her bed, the moonlight poured in from the window behind her she looked like an angel.
Thorn shall be my Queen. Kai whispered looking at her
*** End of flashback ***
The High Priestess she said turning over the last card
Kai realised the card stood for what Thorn had become now; she neatly stacked the cards and put then on top of the mantelpiece.
She then knelt down on the floor in front of his chair and took his bruised hand.
Let me see she said
It's okay he muttered pulling his hand away.
Kai don't be such a baby and let me see. She asked trying to get his hand.
She accidentally brushed against his bruised hand he felt a surge of pain.
No. He choked his hand hurt badly making tears well in his eyes.
Are you crying? She asked
I never cry I'm a man he said
Thorn took some more ice cubes and slowly took Kai's hand she began to rub the cold frozen liquid over his warm dry skin; Kai closed his eyes as the liquid ran over his fingers remembering the times she had done this before.
She had once hurt her hand she had a nasty cut she bit her lip trying to hold back the pain and tears; Kai put some antiseptic ointment on it she grit her teeth he then bandaged it up.
Suddenly he realised the warm and cold sensations in his hand were gone.
Thorn saw Kai close his eyes she traced the lines on one of the triangles on his cheeks; she smiled and let his hand go; to her surprise Kai caught her by the wrist.
Why stop? He asked
She smiled at him and kissed his cheek tenderly then went to her room.
