Chapter 7

Truth and Death..

Botan: oh, Shelby! *goes to run after her*

Kurica: *stops her* don't……let her handle it Botan..

Botan: *sigh* I guess your right….

The ham hams camped for a rest and in front of a campfire.

Bijou: How Lovely!

Hamtaro: Yep!

Oxnard: *roasts his sunflower seed and eats it*

Boss: *looks at Oxnard as if he were crazy*

Oxnard: Krmph , Krmph, You know...This isn't half bad!!

But as they all do that, Stan and Shelby are at the stream in the field Shelby ran into.

Stan: ….Shelby…what's the matter? Why'd you run off in tears like that?

Shelby: *a few more tears roll down her cheeks* *no comment*

Stan: Shelby..please, tell me!

Shelby: *tries her best to fight back more tears* that hamster….i hate him…..Kurica and Botan say he was my past life's husband…….but….he..we…*sigh* in this life, he used to be my boyfriend. We had the same martial arts teacher…that's how we met. Oh, I loved him so much! As he loved me..his name in this life is Jinto…we would probably still be together..if he hadn't betrayed me like he did..*another tear rolls down her cheek*

Stan: *a little taken back by the boyfriend thing* …Shelby?….what exactly did he do?…

Shelby: one day…..he called me to talk to him……I'll never forget what happened…he told me goodbye and that we couldn't be together any longer, when I asked him why he attacked me! We fought, for a short time…then our teacher, Myosa, came..and he left…I haven't seen him since…..until today…

Stan: *thinks: WHAT! He attacked her!? I'll kill him!*

Shelby: *bursts out in tears and hugs Stan* I loved him so much..and yet I can't forget him!

Stan: *hugs Shelby tightly* don't worry baby, I'm here…*leans down to kiss her*

*Kurica jumps in out of no where*

Kurica: Its almost time to continue our journey..I know where we're going... *smirk*

Shelby: *wipes tears away quickly* Oh Okay!

Stan:......Okay...

Kurica: Oh..? Did I interrupt something personal..?

Stan and Shelby both answer at the same time...

Shelby: No!

Stan: Yes!

Shelby looks at Stan as Stan then becomes very nervous.

Kurica: *laughs a bit* Sure...

*Kurica disappears in a hazy green mist*

Shelby: I'm sorry I cried like that Stan, but I've never told ANYONE what happened between Jinto and I that day…

Stan: Oh, hey, its alright, really, you know, like I said before you can tell me anything, Shelby babe!

Shelby: *smiles a bit* ya, I know…lets go back to the others now…

Stan: ok…

*At night all the hams were sleeping but Shelby and Kurica stood awake, looking at the stars*

Shelby: Um...Kurica?

Kurica: Hm..?

Shelby: Do you like Stan?

Kurica then laughs a tiny bit.

Kurica:..Of Course not, Shelby.

Shelby: Oh...

Kurica: But..the question is..Do YOU Have feelings for him?

Shelby: *nods*

Kurica: *smiles a bit* Why not tell him..?

Shelby:...Well...I…er, he knows….i've told him…but..i also told him..that I couldn't be with him……

Kurica: I see.

Shelby: *sigh* I hope we don't see Jinto--er, Xaith again…..

Kurica: don't worry, we don't need him! He's nothing but a worthless coward.

Shelby: Hmmmm...Do you LIKE Xaith?

Kurica: ...Well... Of course Not...I--

*Stan suddenly gets up and walks over to Shelby*

Stan: Oh....um....Hi Kurica

Kurica:...Hello.

Stan: Kurica..Do you...er...think you can leave for a few secs...?

Kurica: Okay..

*Kurica runs into a forest*

Stan: Ok...um...Shelby....

Shelby: What?

Stan: I wanted to tell you….all those times I flirted with Kurica,…..ya know I just did it for fun, but I notice, it sorta makes you mad..and I don't want that……

Shelby:…..oh….

Stan: ...I...Shelby, I want you to know…I only love you!

Shelby: *turns her head a bit* Stan, i know…we've been through this already…

Stan: ….i know……its just that..well with everything that's been going on….i….*pulls Shelby close to him*

Shelby: …..Stan, before you say anything else…I know I told you I didn't feel right about us before but…I've been rethinking a lot and…..well, while I promised myself to never love anyone else again…but Stan…I know in my heart I love you and want to be with you more than anything…so I take that back……I don't care about Jinto anymore…*smiles up at Stan*

Stan: *kisses her* *holds her close to him*

*Where Kurica's at, In the forest*

Kurica walks through the forest, Not getting lost though, Cause she knew this place well.

Kurica: ....Pfft...If I Like Xaith? What A question....

Kurica then Hears something rustling in the bushes.

Kurica: *with her back turned*...Xaith Kotaru.

Xaith: Where is Shelby, Kurica...?

Kurica: She wouldn't even know you any longer. She forgot her past..

Xaith: she already knows me from this life, you see

Kurica:...Why would I tell a heartless coward like yourself such personal Info..?

Xaith: Kurica , Kurica, Kurica...You'll never learn, Will you..?

Kurica: From you..? I doubt it.

Xaith slowly unsheathes his Masamune (( Name of the sword))

Kurica: Besides...I alo--

She gets cut off by a sharp pain in her back.

Xaith laughs.

Xaith: You fool. I Will find Shelby and makes her mine...Once again.

Kurica: *smirk* Dont....*cough* Party so soon.....this is just..*cough cough* The beginning.And at the end...I Will Haunt you and have my revenge....

Kurica faints right in front of Xaith who just laughs.

Xaith: Well...Now that The smartest, Most experienced and....I GUESS...Strongest is gone. It Should be easy to get..my princess back.

*back to where Shelby and Stan are at*
