Kerda: Well, this is it everybody. The final chapter of "Crazy Enough To Say I Love You."
Darina: Oh, god, I want to thank everybody who ever reviewed or read this story!
Tyson: Awwww…and I was getting used to working here with Kerda.
Kerda: That's (*sniff*) the best thing you ever said to me. (*Glomps Tyson*) We will always narrate together in every Bey Blade story!
Darina: Well, actually Kerda, I really like the Bey Blade cast, so maybe, I will leave them working for other stories also, even if not a Bey Blade story. But the other series' characters will be hosting with you guys.
Kerda (*googly eyes*): YAY!!! Guess what Tyson, we can always narrate together.
[If you're wondering, Kerda doesn't like Tyson in the love way, just as a good buddy.]
Warning: I added a little lime (Nothing too serious) to this chapter, and since this is my first try at something like that, please don't flame me if it's bad, ok?
________________________________________________________________
~Rei's POV~
" Keep low, everybody!!!" I yelled, ducking from the magnetic light in the air. Most people instantly dropped to the ground.
" Whoe!" Oliver yelled, waking up. He tried to scramble to his feet, but the wind quickly swept him of his feet. OLIVER! Thinking quickly, I jumped up and caught him by the sleeve when he was passing by.
" Got ya!" I said and Oliver gave me a confused look. Oh, I forgot…he doesn't know I'm alive. While Oliver gaped at me with startled eye, my feel started to take off, as to my horror, I realized we were being SUCKED INTO THE LIGHTING!
" ARGH!" a cry escaped my throat as I nearly let go of Oliver. Luckily, a hand caught my foot and pulled me down. None other than Kai set us down next to him, watching the brightness intensively. Unlike Oliver, who was watching US intensively.
" Rei…Kai…how?" he asked in a hushed voice. Before I could reply…
" DUCK!" Kai pushed us both down, as an explosion seemed to take place behind us. Black particles were flying everywhere and I swore I saw the shadows being sucked up by the light…
~Tala's POV~
Just…a little…longer…BLAST IT, my energy is almost gone…but luckily, so are the creatures and I need to get every last one. My hand was placed upon the white torch I created a few minutes ago and was now powering up the spell.
" If this works, those guys owe me big time," I chuckled to myself weakly. Then I noticed somebody flying through the blast…WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?!
" GET OUT OF THERE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, hoping what I said would reach the guy. To my surprise, he didn't even slow down. And then it hit me…HE FORGOT TO FLY ON THE GROUND WHEN I POWERED UP THE SPELL!!!!
SHOOT…
~Rei's POV~
" Wha…" I looked up to see somebody caught up in the brightness along with the screaming shadows. Kai, there's somebody up there!" Kai gave me a baffled look, but decided to check it out for himself. The moment he set eyes on the figure, his reddish-brown eyes filled with another strange emotion.
" It's Voltaire!" he responded at first shocked, but then his voice became calm again. Figures, he was probably the only one left willing to fight up there."
" When is this going to be over!?" Oliver asked, shielding his eyes from the glow, which appeared stronger with every second. I had to cover up my eyes also, as well as the temperature seemed to rise all of the sudden.
Even Kai blocked his face from the light. The wind picked up the dust, throwing it right on top of us. I felt myself chocking slightly as the dirt entered my lungs, mixing with the flaming-heat in the air. I felt like my insides were coated with sand! That was when my head began to spin and I wondered if I was chocking to death…maybe…
The two people next to me didn't exactly find this pleasant either, yet I knew this…was…ove-uhh…
~Normal POV~
Kai suddenly noticed that Rei closed his eyes and his breathing became heavy. Oh, no, he thought quickly moving closer to the black-haired angel.
The demon put his hand over Rei's face to stop the dust from entering his mouth or nose. Immediately, Rei's breathing eased, but he didn't wake up…
" Cover your nose and mouth!" Kai suddenly ordered Oliver. The clone did as he was told, deciding it was for the best.
" Our bit beasts!" Naia suddenly yelled, when seeing the large glowing animals trying to hold on to the ground. EVERYBODY PUT BACK YOUR BIT BEASTS!!!" In an instant, many bit beasts returned to their owners' blades.
" Dranzer, return!" Kai said, slightly picking up his bey blade. The fiery bird made a dive for it and in a flash of red light, appeared in Kai's blade. He looked at it with satisfaction.
" Welcome back, Dranzer," Kai exclaimed, looking over the glowing bit at the top. Suddenly, a familiar yell pierced the air. The demon looked up to see another slightly smaller phoenix struggle in the wind…DRALUNARA!!!
" Uh-oh," Max said once he saw the bird. Naia, we need to help her!" Naia opened one eye and gasped. Max was too busy holding down the unconscious Tyson, since he already got Dragoon back into his friend's blade.
" I'll handle it!" Oliver suddenly yelled, picking up his blade and slowly getting up, doing his best to keep himself on the ground. Go, Unicolyon!" The unicorn bit beats galloped out of his blade, heading strait towards Dralunara. Kai gave the standing teen a surprise look.
" Will you horse be able to stand that pressure?" he grumbled.
" It's actually a unicorn," Oliver remarked. Kai snorted.
" Unicorn, horse, I don't care what it is!" he replied. As long as you're sure that thing could hold on." Oliver got a little annoyed with him for calling his bit beast "thing", but replied calmly anyway.
" He can handle it," the French-looks alike replied as hit large bit circled around Dralunara, who grabbed him with her tail. The large unicorn speeded back to Oliver, putting Dralunara on the ground and returning to Oliver's blade.
" Good job, Unicolyon," the clone said, getting back down to wait out the light.
" YES!" Naia cried in excitement, seeing the last of the shadows disappeared in the blinding light. Just then, Voltaire disappeared in it too…
~Tala's POV~
Was I not heard right when I told the old man to stay away?! Well, there's nothing I can do for him now. It's time to break off the link…
I pushed the rest of my strengths to my hands and let out a small beam right at the torch. The second it blew, up, I felt myself sinking deeper into darkness…
~Normal POV~
Suddenly, the light began to wear off as the figure that broke the connection dissolved along with it. All remained silent…
~Rei's POV~
Huh…did I…fall asleep. I opened my eyes at an unexpected sight…Kai right on top of me! Flushing a deep red, I wandered how long he was like this.
" Woke up already, huh?" the demon's voice came and his eyes sprang open, lifting the body off me. Felling okay?" I knobbed, now wanting to know what I missed while I was aseep.
" What happened here?" I sat up and noticed Oliver standing up beside us.
" Well, the first moment, all these shadows were being caught up in the light, the next moment, all of it is gone," he replied. That's when I remembered it…TALA!
" Come on, guys, let's see if Tala's still there," I said, running out from behind the hill, even though I knew he most likely wasn't.
I was right…
" He's
really…gone," I said, looking down at the broken white torch in the middle of
the spell mark. I wish I had a chance to thank him…before he left." A hand
suddenly placed itself silently on my shoulder. I turned to see a freckled face
with two summer-blue eyes staring at me.
" Something tells me you'll get
your chance someday," Max gave me thumbs up before totally pushing me to the
ground, grinning happily.
" I don't know how you came back, but I'm sure glad you are!" he said. I smiled at him, when suddenly something else landed on top of us! EEECK!
" REI!!!" a heard Tyson yell, while he lay on Max I guess, who was currently laughing, hugging me at the same time.
" Welcome back, bud!" Tyson jumped on me once I had a chance to get up once more. Well, down again I guess! Meanwhile, Max ran off into some other direction, as Tyson got off me and we both ran after to hyper kid.
" Kai!" both Tyson and Max jumped upon the unsuspecting demon. The other barely had time to turn around before he found himself in a cocoon of hugs. But his expression was priceless!!!
As I nearly died of laughter right then and there, Kai pried the two eager guys off him. At that moment, somebody shouted:
" Yo, you guys are okay!" I turned to see Enrique streaming towards us. Just at that moment, he tripped over a stone and was about to fall, when a purple-haired demon caught him and flew strait towards us.
" Enrique!" I grinned happily. Robert." The two landed on the ground as Robert set Enrique down on his feet.
" What's up?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. Naia walked over to us with Kenny and Johnny. The wind blew their hair from side to side, the sunlight making their eyes shine with pride.
" Well, guys, we did it," Naia said, the other agreeing with her. At that moment, a crown of the remaining demons and angels gathered around us and cheers filled the air. Instantly, I felt myself being picked up and thrown towards the sky by many hands.
" Wow!" I yelled as I let my wings out and flew up, joined by Kai a few moments later. The other were still cheering on the ground as I SWORE I saw all the couples together.
Max was with Tyson, laughing and chatting about something, while Enrique was with Oliver…KISSING! Naia was still haled up into the air and Kenny was talking to a strangely familiar golden-haired angel…of course, how could I forget… Will! Wait, did I see Kenny blush…he-he.
" It's kind of hard to believe that this is all finally over, isn't it?" Kai suddenly asked me. I nodded slowly, looking down again at all the happy faces.
" Yah, I just hope this will last forever," I said, now looking right at the guy next to me. Then he did something unexpected…Kai smiled! And it wasn't just a smirk or a sneer, but a real smile, a true smile. Geez, now I'm grinning also.
" You should smile more often, it makes you look so much friendlier," I commended him.
" Hmph!" Kai said in response. Typical…
" Well, Rei," Naia suddenly flew up to us. I guess this is a goodbye." I frowned.
" So soon?" I couldn't help but ask. But I just got to know you…do you really have to, Naia?" The ghost shook her head "yes" sadly, but then gave me a small smile.
" Don't worry, I'll visit you along with Korea," she said. Kai seemed thoughtful all of the sudden.
" You shouldn't worry either, Kai, I'll take good care of your sister," Naia said, her eyes laughing slightly. I'll miss you guys…"
" But wait, do the others know you'll be gone?" I asked before she was about to disappear.
" Don't worry, I filled them in already," Naia replied. Now, you two take care of each other…" she winked at us, making me turn scarlet "…and I'll see you guys sometime, ok?" With those words her body began to glow silver and she disappeared.
" Come back soon…Naia," I said, letting the breeze carry my words somewhere far away…
***
" Hey, are you guys coming?" Max peeked into the room where Tyson, me, Kai and Kenny were sitting. The party is going to start without you?" I gave him a baffled look.
" What party?" Kenny seemed to be just as surprised as I was. Max just grinned in response.
" All the angels and the demons are gathering for a party to celebrate the end of the war," he said, grabbing Tyson by the hand. Oliver and Enrique are already there."
" Well, now I know what that loud music I've been hearing for the past half hour is," Kai smirked.
" Everybody from the demon city and your home village are here, guys," Max explained, addressing to Kai and me. Now come on, they're waiting for you guys. And Kenny, Will will be there!" Kenny blushed again and slowly walked out the door.
" Coming?" Tyson asked, turning to us as Max dragged him out the door.
" Give me a moment, I just need to fix myself up," I replied, giving him a sheepish look.
" You Kai?" Max asked the demon next to me while I grabbed the nearest hairbrush. To my surprise, the other didn't agree.
" I need to get myself into shape also," he said, while watching Max nod and drag Tyson out, closing the door behind them. Then, it remained silent for a while.
" Kai, you look fine to me," I cast a suspicious eye on him.
" Well, I did kind of lie, but for my own reasons," he grumbled. Besides, I'm not exactly a party type of guy." I put down my brush, deciding to leave my hair out for today. It's supposed to be a wild party, right?
" Okay, I'm pretty much done here, so are you coming?" I headed for the door when something suddenly landed on top of me. EEP!!! O.O
" Wha…" I panicked, but then I heard a small snicker from above. Rolling my eyes, I muttered "I should have known", trying to turn my head to look at the person that just jumped on me.
" I told you'd get my reward after this while thing is over…" Kai whispered into my ear. Do you think I'd let you go that easy?"
" Kai?" I raised an eyebrow. I don't think the reason you aren't in a hurry to go to the party is because you're not a party guy." How is it that I can HEAR it every time Kai smirks, because right now, I SWEAR he is.
" Partly…" before I could say anything else, Kai span me around and pinned me to the ground again, this time face up. Yup, he's smirking all right folks!
" I shouldn't have turned my back on you on that last turn," I frowned, wondering how long he been preparing to attack me.
" Well, then, you should have thought about that earlier," Kai said as he leaned a bit TOO close for comfort. The tiger is always watching you, whether in battle or not." I struggled, knowing what he's going to do. Not that I minded, it's just that I had another thing in mind.
" You know, I really hav…" I couldn't finish my sentence because Kai crushed his lips against mine, pressing himself against me. Oh, GOD…I think my heart's beating one hundred strokes a SECOND.
So I just did what came naturally. My hands quickly found their way to Kai's neck while I deepened the kiss. I knew I was loosing control, but something told me not to pay attention to that.
" Kai, we really need to get going, the others are waiting," I exclaimed, planning something in the back of my head again. As I expected, Kai pulled away to speak.
" They can wait," he said. That's when I took my chance and grabbed him by the shoulders, rolling him over so that he was on the bottom. Panting from that act, I grinned sneakily at Kai's surprised face.
" I guess now I'm the tiger," I said, while leaning closer to him again. Besides, it's my turn to be on top." Kai growled something, but then sneered. WHY does he keep doing that?!
" If I were you, Kon, I wouldn't count on that," he suddenly said and used such force to get me off, I fell a few feet away. But not too long before he seized me and pinned my hands above my head. Grrrrreeeaaat…
" Now who's talking?" he asked, watching me with sly amuse while I groaned. Once again, his lips met mine, and my heat picked up pace, but this time, I couldn't hold on any longer…I needed to have him.
By the way he kissed, it seemed like he wanted the exact same thing. But we were already too far for compassion in that kiss as hungry desire took over.
I let out a hiss of protest, but didn't stop him as his hands traveled to my chest, leaving my hands free to roam his front AND back now.
Without any kind of warning, the guy just RIPPED my shirt in two, revealing my bare chest underneath. Next time, I think I'll actually ask him to take it off normally, since I don't have many outfits like this one.
My hands did their part as they threw his scarf aside and picked up the bottom part of his shirt, while I pleaded him mentally to get it off. As if he read my mind, Kai took his shirt off in a second, his lips now traveling down my neck. Now he was teasing me! But I couldn't bring myself up to say anything, because, I didn't exactly want him to stop.
Emitting a soft moan as he traveled down my chest, I wished I could do the same thing to him. I smirked for a second, knowing that my time to do that will come next time.
So you'd better watch YOUR back Kai, because next time, I'm going to be the one to…ah!
My mind was totally ignorant to the world around us and I couldn't explain it, but I wanted for us to melt together …
I started to grip at the demon's pants, when…
" Wow…" a voice came from the doorway and we both stopped what we were doing, looking up to see Tyson in the room. To my relief, the door was closed.
Kai, on the other hand, looked like he was ready to strangle Tyson right there and then. Tyson just stared at us with big eyes.
" I'm sorry if I interrupted you two, but…" he said. I'm just here to report that everybody are still waiting, so if you don't mind continuing this a bit later, um…we could lend you an empty room and you could just finish this there…ok?" I knobbed as Kai got off and put on his shirt, even though I knew we both weren't exactly happy on being interrupted…
" Just wait, I'll get a new shirt," I said as I picked up the ripped pieces, noticing Tyson was eyeing them with uneasiness. Opening the closet, I picked out another white shirt.
" Okay, let's go," I snapped the closet shut as Tyson gave an excited jump and opened the door. Instantly, music hit my ears:
Ya sabes mi vida
estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo asi
Quiero que te quedes junto a mi.
" And that was Shakira's hit song "Suerte", requested by our new head chef, Oliver!" an announcer in a black suit said as the crowd cheered. Sound like fun!
" Wait, here they are!" suddenly, all eyes turned on Kai and me. A second later, we were surrounded by a crowd of cheering angels and demons as we made our way to the front.
" Now, we want you two to pick a good song," the host said, while Enrique and Oliver pushed us right next to the stage.
" You decide," Kai said and I thanked him, now thinking it over. Suddenly, all kinds of images arose in my head…what happened during this whole time, when I first arriver on Planet…what's its name? Anyway, I remembered how I met Tyson, Kenny, Naia, Enrique and everybody else and especially Korea. How could I forget how she was during the first time, pretending on the outside, upset on the inside. That made her crazy at first…wait, but aren't we all crazy sometimes?
Kai was crazy to harass me when I still didn't like him, Sander was crazy…well, Sander was crazy all together and I…why was I crazy? I
Then I realized, I wasn't crazy…I AM crazy…crazy to say I love a demon like Kai. Okay, okay, maybe I got off the topic a little bit.
" Um, Rei?" Oliver interrupted my thoughts. We're kind of…waiting."
" Sorry," muttered, thinking how many people are out there crazy, yet how many are alone like Korea was. I choose…" one name came into my head "…Song For the Lonely." Whistles rose in the crowd, as I knew I picked the right choice.
" Okay, hit it Robert!" the announcer yelled. This isn't just a song, but a message to everybody in the universe…
~Normal POV~
When you're standing
on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
Kai looked at Rei and Rei looked back at him, smiling softly as they prepared to dance…
Somewhere on the other side of the world, a woman stood at the edge of the cliff, listening to the wind howl when she suddenly heard faint singing from the far.
So your heart's got
to go there
Through the darkest night
Somewhere up in the clouds, Naia laid upon the surface, resting, with her hands wrapped around Korea's small figure. They were both resting peacefully as the song put them into a deeper sleep, both heaving dreams of each other.
See the light shine
bright
When hero's fall, in love or war
The wind blew around the sign where the broken pieces of the revival torch laid. The clouds let a streak of light dance upon the place.
They live forever
Whispers came over the silence, a shadow forming on in the light for a moment, but then dissolving away.
[Chorus:]
This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
At a far away town, a homeless boy was sitting at the steps of a theatre, crying. He wiped his tears off with his sleeve, but they still kept coming. He suddenly heard very low music in the distance.
For the broken
hearted, battle scared I'll
Be by your side
The boy didn't hear footsteps approaching or the man sitting down next to him. The boy gave him a strange look while the man smiled and the boy noticed he was wearing a soldier's uniform. Through tears, the child smiled back.
And this is a song -
for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
In the dancing crown of demons and angels, Kenny walked out unhappily. He sat down, watching all the couples together.
Can you hear this
prayer
'Coz someone's there for you
A hand suddenly tapped him from the back and Kenny turned to see the cheerful face of Will above him. The brunette blushed while Will pulled him onto his feet and started to dance with him.
We'll love don't
need a reason
She can pick you up
" Hey, have you guys seen Johnny?" Enrique walked up to Rei and Kai, interrupting their twirling around.
" No, why, you can't find him?" Rei asked. Enrique shook his head "no".
" Hmm, where could he be?" Oliver asked, joining the three.
Or leave you
bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
Deep into the graveyard, Johnny was sitting on the ground, sadly staring at a gravestone. His hair covered his tears as he took out the picture he found in his father's abandoned house.
I know the reason
why
We all forgive, we all forget
" I'm sorry," he whispered, looking at his father's smiling face in the picture. I couldn't help you when you died…dad." The breeze suddenly picked up, sending another whisper around him, wiping away his tears.
We just keep believing
" Thank you," Johnny smiled as he placed a flower at the grave and suddenly noticed that the place where the photograph of the dead person on his father's grave was supposed to be was empty. He looked at the picture in his hand.
This is a song - for
the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
The red-haired demon took the picture out of the frame and put it on the gravestone. The whispers seemed to thank him as he smiled, tears flooding his face again. They were wiped off again…
For the broken
hearted, battle scared I'll
Be by your side
…but not by the wind. Johnny looked to his side to see Robert next to him, smiling. The red-haired teen smiled back as they both sat at the grave, secretly looking at each other from time to time.
And this is a song - for the lonely
Kai leaned closer to Rei and locked their lips together, not bothering to notice that everybody were staring at them.
Finally, Rei though, kissing his lover back. I found my mate…whom I plan to spend forever with…
And even after that, I'll still be with you, he though, now dancing again. At heart…
When your dreams won't come true
At a distance, a teen was watching the dance. He smiled, brushing it's red hair out of the way.
" Good luck in the future and I know we'll meet again," he said, spreading his black angel wings.
Can you hear this prayer
" I promise," the stranger said, looking back one last time at the happy angels and demons, especially Kai and Rei. He took off, his figure still seen in the distance flying off to some remote land, seeking to find where he can belong...
'Coz someone's there…
The last of the Dark Angels…
… for you
So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more, oh no
~Rei's POV~
And that was how it all ended. Now, everybody go on with their relationships…Kai and me as well!
" We're here to say our prayers to a friend that we hope to meet someday again," Oliver said. This is for you, Tala…" We all gathered around the small monument we build a year later for the Dark Angel to remember him.
This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
For the broken hearted, battle scared I'll
Be by your side
" Let's go Rei," Kai said, grabbing my hand. As we all walked away to go on with our lives, I looked back at the monument.
And this is a song - for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
I don't know where you are Tala, but I'm positive that somewhere in the distant future, our paths will cross again, old friend…
Can you hear this prayer
'Coz someone's there for you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that's not you only
Through the darkest night
You're gonna see the light
Love don't need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer
Someone's there
This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
For the broken hearted, battle scared
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams
won't come true
Can you hear this prayer
'Coz someone's there…
Can you hear this
prayer
'Coz someone's there…
Even if it takes an eternity…
…for…you
~End~
