All I want is to run to his open arms.
I want to see his lovely face gazing toward me.
I want to feel the warmth of his body,
Warming mine.
I want to rest my head on his shoulder,
And listen to his comforting voice,
Croon a poem from his affections.
If only he knew how I felt,
He would open his arms to me.
Chapter Six:
Some of you who read my story asked about the "monsters" and others asked about the romance. Some of you just asked about the story in general, but you all wanted MORE! All so demanding, so I'm giving you more in a chapter (I'll try) and just to spite you, I will put in MORE SUSPENSE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rini awoke looking up at Eric and Kina. All she remembered from before was holding Eric in her arms and falling. She had no idea where she was, what time it was or why everything in her memory after Eric was blacked out. "Kina, what happened? Where am I?" She looked around and saw out a window that it was during the daytime.
Eric had a smile on his face for relief that she was conscious and OK. He was good looking and had a glimmer in his eyes, which were directed at Rini's cute face. He had the hair of any teenaged boy, about one inch long, standing up with gel and in the front, it was gelled down as curved and pointed "bangs".
"Rini, your in the hospital. You've been sleeping for about a day. It's 9:00 in the morning. You got knocked out the night we found Eric." Kina said this with a lack of confidence. She was worried her friend had suffered much damage during the night of her first battle. Rini pushed herself up to sit with a better posture than to be lying in a bed continuously staring at an angle toward her friends.
Kina began her story, "After you ran over to Eric, I heard someone coming and nearly panicked. I knew I had to be courageous though, because I was the only one at the park aware of the situation we were actually in. You know Eric was unconscious and you had your all set on protecting him.
"I saw a strange figure in a tree and I took the judo stance you showed me. The guy in the tree didn't see me though; he was focused on you and Eric. He jumped down from the tree and caught you up in his second hop. He dropped you from his jump and that's when you conked out. I thought I had to fight, but when he saw me in the judo stance he ran off."
Eric, who was unaware of the lie Kina had just told, continued the story from his prospective. "Kina woke me up and told me what happened then we carried you here. You are light as a cookie, just like your sweet. You came to save me after they knocked me out." Kina smiled at the childish flirting going on.
*~*~*~*
~Later, still in the hospital; Kina and Rini alone~
Kina sat on the edge of the hospital bed and thought of how to tell her friend the true story of what happened. Rini read a teen girl magazine unaware of her friend's dilemma. Kina propped herself to the side to look at her friend straight on to be direct when she told her friend the truth about that night. "Rini, I lied about that night we 'saved' Eric. The guy didn't get scared, he fought me and I got this defending you guys." Kina lifted her shirt at the side to show the recently conscious girl a slash across her abdomen. The wound was about six inches long, but not deep or wide.
Rini's jaw dropped and she leaned in closer to her friend to see the scar better. She realized finally what her friend was talking about with lies and the scar. "Kina, what happened that night after I passed out?"
Kina once again began a story of that night, this time she held true to the events of the night. "The guy in the tree, he was dressed like a warrior from the past. He had on tight armor, like the ancient soldiers but updated. He saw me and drew a sword. It was…" she paused, searching for a word to describe it. "It was long and slim; razor sharp and shinny. He took a lash at me and I turned away to avoid him, but it skimmed my side" she made a slashing motion with her hand along her scar.
"At first it hurt, but somehow Saya, my fire fairy, mentally reminded me about all my stuff and powers. So I did my little celestial power thing and it felt like I was someone else. Suddenly I knew so much about using mystical powers and such and I fought off the guy with magic. I barely even remember what I did myself, but I gained a battle scar."
*~*~*~*
~Flash to the battle~
The dark broad figure stepped forward toward Kina and drew a long sleek sword from its sheath. Kina began to mutter a poem of a mystical sort.
"Sakura blossom,
Bloom by moon.
Celestial powers,
Sing thy tune."
A strong wind came from the east and Kina was lifted by it. An iridescent cloud, glistening and glowing, surrounded the young girl. The hum of a celestial song was emitted from the sky and Kina emerged in a battle kimono poised for a fight. She glared at the warrior and swung her arms back as if to throw a ball at him.
A glowing source came about in her cupped hands and she raised it up above her head in the position of a ballerina. Once again she brought her hands down, then back and quickly forward in one swift and graceful motion. The ball of glowing power speeded toward the dark figure and he was abolished. Kina gasped for air and grabbed her side as she felt a sudden and short jolt of pain.

Writer's note:
Ok first note, so late in the story, hehe O well. I never thought to write in my notes for the story. I got carried away with it; I actually got into my story for once. I've been writing very short chapters, and sadly, Jamie wasn't in this one. I promise he'll be in the second one though, he has to be, he's Kina's booifurendo*. I wasn't able to write much detail on the demon warrior but I tried. I meant to put in some humor when she was fighting, but I'm just not good with inserting random acts of craziness. I have to find my crazy character! That's why! HAHA, so obvious. Ok, I have to stop now, but I'll be back next chapter.
Yuko-San (old lady outwichi)
Little old lady with gray hair sits in a small rocking chair and rocks back and forth
Lady: neu ne neu ne neu (in a little obnoxious tune.) HELLO! I am Yuko-san!
**Random laughter**
Yuko: ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME! **Raises her little staff and rampages around the room**
Yuko: You better not laugh at me! There's nothing funny about me is there! Huh? I didn't do anything funny! **Hits a man on top of the head with her staff and takes a proud stance in "victory"** Ha ha ha! That should teach you a lesson in respecting your elders!
**Yuko sits in her chair again and goes back to rocking**
Yuko: neu ne neu ne neu…
