Kudos –
Hairy Gregory – the whole message thing with the eye is that Blossom can read emotions, feelings, and thoughts through the eyes, so when she looks at them in the eye whatever they are thinking is put into her head.

"I've been looking for my Mrs. Right
Cause I believe that you and me,
This could be the one
But what do you think?
We could give it a try,
Cause you never know
Maybe we could be soul mates . . ." Limp Bizkit – The One
"You f_cking touched her," Boomer yelled as he threw his fist into Basher's face and blocked one of Basher's kicks at the same time.
"Oh someone's pissed," Basher teased as he threw a left hook that connected with Boomer's chin. Boomer's head flew back and he fought the stars that were beginning to cloud his vision.
"I should have kicked your ass the first time I saw you," Boomer said as he and Basher went at each other. Boomer ignored Bubbles yells for him to stop that there were too many people in the school for them to be fighting.
"Someone is going to get hurt," Bubbles cried as she flew next to her boyfriend and enemy and tried to stop them.
"Bubbles move," Boomer commanded as he tried to keep her out of the range of their fighting.
"Bubbles you didn't mind me touching your leg did you? It felt nice to have a real man caress your skin correct?" Basher asked licking his lips as he looked at her.
Blind rage flooded Boomer and he no longer thought before he acted, he just began to throw kicks and punches not caring where they landed, not caring about who got in the way.
"Blossom you have to stop this," Bubbles said to Blossom who stood looking up at the gym ceiling where the two boys fought.
"Yeah you do Red, it is your fault they're fighting," Buttercup told her.
"BC don't start that crap with me, I didn't even really tell Boomer what he did, but I will stop it. Just give me some time to think up a spell, okay?" Blossom said racking her brain trying to think of something to do that would stop them from fighting without anyone else getting hurt.
"We don't have time for you think up a spell Blossom, what if you screw it up?" Buttercup argued.
"Will you shut up Buttercup I don't need you to down me right now. You think you can do a better job than go try. Until then shut up and try to get the people out of here, so that no one will get hurt," Blossom snapped.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP IT?" Bubbles yelled. "Boomer and Basher are going at each other like crazy and you want to argue. Get over your goddamned egos and help me do something, now is not the time for a power struggle."
"She's right," Brick put in as he came back from escorting people out of the school. "We still need to get the people out of here or something bad is going to happen." Somehow Basher and Boomer had blocked the door to the exit off, and the others needed to get everyone out with out hurting them.
"Look Bloss, I'll try and stop them from fighting and maybe this will stall them long enough for you to think up a spell," Buttercup reasoned as she began to fly up. Brick flew up with her told her to be careful and gave her a quick kiss, which Basher noticed.
"I know you're getting tired Boomer, my fist do hurt a little. I think I'll take a half day from school," Basher talked as they fought. Boomer stopped his fist in midair as figure put her self between the two boys.
"Hello," these words were said as Buttercup gave a punch to Basher that flew him backwards.
"Goodbye." Basher said this as he summoned a spell that produced a blinding light.
@_@
"Thanks for agreeing to this Princess, you don't know how much this is helping us," Butch told the burgundy haired girl as he walked through the factory with her.
After leaving his brothers, Butch had flown around aimlessly. Then he had decided to do something that would help them solve where Basher had come from and how they could defeat him. Blossom had shared with them the information that Princess had given her so Butch knew where to go. However he had decided that he would visit Princess and maybe get her to come along, after all they did think of each other as sexy so why not see what would happen. Besides as Brick had bluntly told him earlier, he didn't have a chance with Bloss anyway.
"Oh I don't mind, Butch," Princess crooned as she leaned in on his arm. 'She really moves quick,' he thought. "I mean if I'm having fun with the sexist guy in Townsville how could I care what we do," she flirted.
Butch winked at her and tried to beat down his conscience that told him that he was making a mistake. "You're pretty sexy yourself," he told her. She grinned and sighed contently; well maybe she did have a chance with him.
"So I was thinking that you could show me what department the metals were stolen from," he prompted her.
"Sure, we have it closed off now cause we didn't want to tamper with anything," she informed as she led him to the elevator. "It's on the 15th floor so we have to take the elevator."
"Where's a window?" he asked her.
"Right down, the hall. Why?"
"Come on, I hope you don't mind flying," he said not offering her an explanation. "I'm gonna fly up, I don't feel like waiting."
Princess eyes went big; she did not want to be in someone's arms several stories in the air. "Look Butch we have the fastest elevators in Townsville it won't take long for us to get there," she tried to reason.
"Do you trust me, like I'm starting to trust you?" he asked all wide-eyed and innocent. She looked into his dark green eyes and fell into the spell that all his previous prey had, except the one girl he wanted. Or maybe he didn't want anymore.
"Sure I trust you," she whispered, dazed and unable to snap out of it.
"Good," saying that he picked her up and jumped out of the window. She closed her eyes out of fear but relaxed when she felt his body heat. She snuggled close to him and purposely purred she knew he was slightly affected by it. He knew he was slightly affected by it, but he knew someone who could affect him all the way.
After inspecting the door and not noticing forced entry Butch raised a brow but didn't say anything. "Do you have a security camera that watches this room?" He asked.
"Sure we watch everything because so much happens when you own such a big company. Do you want to see it?" Princess was trying to be as helpful as possible, maybe she could get into his pants then.
"Sure, I just want to scan it, see what happened. You can fast-forward it to make things go quicker. I'm starved so I wouldn't want to spend too much time on it, besides I wanna take you to lunch. Think you could fit that into your schedule?" Butch said slyly. Princess would have swum with alligators at this point if she thought that it would get her a dinner and possibly a room with Butch.
"Of course I can, I would do anything to say I went out with the sex god Butch. Or maybe that I even did something with you," she whispered temptingly in his ear and her lips slightly brushed his cheek. She walked seductively away knowing he was watching and happy to perform for his eyes. He once again had to admit that he was tempted to play around with Princess, but yet somewhere in the back of his mind was a stabbing pain that told him he was needed and that he was making a mistake.
Butch who had never listened to the voice of reason before certainly ignored it now.

Bubbles set limply in her chair as she tried to stir milk into her and Blossom's tea. What she really wanted to do was stir some poison in the tea so that she could die and end her life right now. No she wouldn't think like that, there were worse things that could have happened. 'No there isn't,' her mind blared back at her.
"Cherry, are you okay?" Bubbles looked up at her boyfriend and practically snarled.
"Leave me alone, I don't wanna hear you or see you, it's your fault she's gone," Bubbles finally said aloud. She had been waiting to say that to him ever since the end of the fight, and now that they were alone she needed to let him know some things.
"Look Cherry, I didn't thin-"
"Your kami-damned didn't think is correct. You hurt us all Boomer; but you hurt me most of all. You let your pride get the best of you and you pushed me aside and embarrassed me when I tried to help. You let some bastard come between us and you know how I feel about you, why were you so damn insecure?" Bubbles was in his face now, cheeks flushed from anger and hands clinched to prevent punching him.
"Bubbles listen to me, I just can't stand the thought of someone else touching you," he told her. Boomer backed up a little because Bubbles had the same crazed look in her eyes as she always did before she lost it, which wasn't often.
"Did I ever give you any other hint besides the fact that I love you?" Boomer's eyes widened. Yet he said nothing, didn't say that he returned her feelings or anything he just stared at her.
"Didn't you hear me? I love you! I don't care about what Basher did right now, although if anyone should be jealous it should be me. I heard about Gwinnett and I didn't say sh_t about it so what's up with that since you want to talk about people touching. I heard things, I know what she did, how she touched your dick and you just told her to back off. So since you want to disregard the 'I love you' lets get into the touching subject. You're a bastard for not telling me, I could have done something, and I could have saved face. That b_tch laughed at me for days behind my back and in front of my face and all I had to do was b_tch slap her for her to realize she doesn't mess with what's mine. But I mean you didn't seem to mind is the story I'm hearing," Bubbles threw in his face. He wanted to act like an asshole fine, she would act like one too and get some things off her chest in the process.
"Bubbles lay off it, I didn't do anything back to her, but it's different for a guy to get a play than for a girl. It's expected of us to get it and not tell, but as a girl it's your obligation to tell, I have to protect you," Boomer spoke blindly; he was wounded by what she had said.
"Oh yeah," she got out, rage flooding her eyes at his chauvinistic attitude, "well protect your self from this." And then she was on him and he didn't touch her. He let her punch him over and over again, and he didn't stop her. It hurt like hell, but he deserved it, he had let them all down. And he had hurt the only girl he could ever love.
When Bubbles was spent and just couldn't hurt him any more she just broke down and cried into his chest. She felt so tiny and small next to him, he was much bigger than she was and she realized just then that she had come to depend on him too much. He had always protected her and now the one time he hadn't she wanted to betray him and his love. Though they had never admitted it, they loved each other, and they both knew it.
"I love you Bubbles, and I would never hurt you on purpose," he held her finally; happy to know that once again he was her protector and that she had forgiven him. "I'm so sorry Bubbly, I didn't want what happened to happen it just did."
"What did you call me," she asked, disregarding the 'I love you' for the time being.
"I got a new nickname for you, when you got mad at me this morning. I was going to tell you in a more romantic setting but I figured I would do it now. I wanna start a new relationship Bubbles, I wanna be more than just boyfriend and girlfriend because our feelings go beyond that," he admitted hoping she would understand just how deep his love for her was.
"I'm sorry about what I said, I was hurt and I needed to strike back," he confessed.
Bubbles stepped back a little from him and looked up into his face, tears still un-cried in her eyes. Boomer's heart stopped in his chest at the knowledge that he had made his love cry, his one true soul mate weep. Bubbles -even without Blossom's powers- knew that he was telling the truth when she looked into his eyes although she couldn't read the deeper meaning behind them. She smiled weakly at him before leaving his arms.
"I have to give Blossom her tea, though it's probably cold now. We turned into old ladies overnight, drinking tea when bad things happen. Buttercup is proba-" Bubbles dropped her cup as she mentioned her sister's name. There was no more Buttercup, Basher had seen to that. She was gone and they didn't know where to find her.
As Bubbles dropped to the floor, Boomer caught her, and her body sagged against him totally relying on him for support. Bubbles was crying again, but these were forlorn and sad tears. "I hope she gives him hell, that bastard deserves it. We don't even know where to start looking," Bubbles cried into his chest. "He's going to hurt her, I know it, and Brick is going to kill him. But I think he has more plans for all of us and we are really going to have a tough time in this battle."
"Bubbles, look at me." She looked at him and he tried to control the over load of emotions that swirled in him as he looked at her distressed face. "You have to pull yourself together, you are the heart of our group and we need you. I need you. I will always be there to protect at your darkest hour, even if I'm not there immediately I will come no matter what. If he takes you - kami help him if he does- I'll always be with you, if not in mind then in spirit."
"You're right," she agreed. "We are soul mates now that you think about it and I know nothing will ever tear us apart."
_'
"Brick please snap out of it, you can't go on like this," Blossom said as she tried to shake him out his stupor. Brick didn't move he just sat there staring at the opposite wall. 'Where the heck was Butch when she needed him,' she thought.
"Brick I'm tired, I just used a lot of my energy healing Boomer, so I don't have the strength to fight you about this," Blossom pleaded.
Brick turned to look at her and she read his expressionless eyes and knew more things about him at that moment than he did. "She's gone, Bloss. He made that bright light and he vanished with her to kami knows where to do only kami knows what. I swear Bloss that if he hurts her its over, even if I die in the process, he will die with me," Brick said vehemently.
"What the f_ck happened here?" Butch asked as he stepped in the wrecked gym where Blossom and Brick sat.
"Where the heck where you?" Blossom yelled at him. Butch looked at her funny before answering snidely,
"I was investigating the factory where the stealing happened with Princess," he added though he didn't have to. Blossom's eyes widened but she looked away not wanting him to see the jealousy spread on her face.
"Is anyone going to answer me?" he asked a little upset.
"Basher and Boomer fought during gym class and Basher kidnapped Buttercup. He just took her and we don't know where to start looking," Brick informed staring blankly once again at the opposite wall.
"Damn, I don't believe it. Well don't look so bad, remember Ma is a witch and she can find people. Besides Bubbles has those dreams doesn't she? Didn't she see anything or witness this before it happened?" Butch tried to help.
"Yeah, but she said all she saw was a castle, surrounded by grass and sheep," Blossom put in. "We could go to your mother right now if everyone wants to or I could try to do it myself," she volunteered.
"First I want everyone to hear what I found out from Princess," Butch said looking at Blossom's face to see her reaction at the name, but Blossom looked down and busied herself with her tea that Bubbles had brought her.
"Well the metal that was taken was titanium and we all know how tough that metal is. There was no forced entry, but I did feel the presence of magic. But the magic wasn't that strong as if the it hadn't been used but had just been there, so I'm assuming that another means of entry was used. I watched the tape and I saw something on there but I'm not sure what it is so I'm not going to say anything about it until I'm sure of what I saw," he said.
Miss Bellum had taught all the Puffs and Ruffs to search out magic and feel it, so that in case Him attacked or something they knew where to look.
"If you're going to do the spell Blossom do it now, I have to meet Princess later on tonight for something and I need to get ready," he said as he slightly hurt her.
"I don't think I can do the spell, I can't concentrate enough. We'll let your mom do it," she called as she flew away. Butch raised an eyebrow at her departure but said nothing.
"I'm going to get Bubbles and Boomer," Brick called as he flew away towards the teacher's lounge.
u_u
Miss Bellum lay on the couch in her living room mentally exhausted the find and seeks spell always left her a little winded. She was happy that Blossom had not tried it, she would have been left totally powerless, and she needed all the power she could get if something happened.
"So where is she?" Brick asked feeling a little better since they had a chance to find her Buttercup now.
Miss Bellum sighed as she tried to think of a response that wouldn't distress Brick and the others further. "Well, she's safe, but she's unconscious. She's locked in a room, and just like Bubbles said she's in a castle. Apparently that's where Basher's hideout is, I know for sure they're in Scotland but I can't pinpoint the location exactly, very strong magic is protecting it. The best thing to do would be to tap into that bond link you have with her, Blossom and Bubbles. I know that this will be hard but you only have to do this a little bit."
"Well, I have to go so I'll be back later," Butch called as he ran up the stairs to his room.
"Where's he going at a time like this?" Miss Bellum questioned.
Blossom answered sounding bitter. "He's going on a date with Princess and he's happy," she complained. No one looked at her because they knew that she would be able to read the thoughts of her and Butch floating around in their minds.
O-o
"No! Stop! Leave him alone please!" Bubbles twisted in her bed later on that night. She had begged Blossom to spend the night in her bed because she was scared of the nightmares and dreams she knew would come as a result of Buttercup's disappearance. Blossom awakened with a start as Bubbles began to kick her, she and Bubbles were sharing the huge bed.
"Bubbles if you're going to kick worse than me and wake me up then I'm leaving and going to my own bed," Blossom complained drowsily. Bubbles didn't answer and Blossom tried to adjust her eyes to waking up to see what was wrong. Bubbles was sweating and moving but she wasn't waked and Blossom became concerned. Leaning over to rub her sister's brow and soothe her Blossom was startled when Bubbles sat up in her bed fully awake.
Bubbles began crying and yelling not offering Blossom any explanation as to why she was acting that way. "Bubbles what the heck is wrong with you?"
The look that Bubbles gave her when she finally looked at her was shocking. "Basher took Boomer, and I saw it. I knew he was going to do it but I didn't know how, we have to go over there Blossom and see what we can do."
"Bubbles it 2:30 in the morning we can't just go to their house," Blossom tried to reason.
"Well if you don't come I'll go by myself," Bubbles said this as she ran to her drawers to put something on. Blossom grumbled and almost swore but she got out of the bed to go to her room.
"Give me two minutes, I gotta do my hair."
: (
"He's gone," Miss Bellum cried while Bubbles held her and Blossom fixed her some coffee. "I should have seen it coming," she blamed herself even though there would have been nothing she could have done if she had known exactly when the attack happened anyway.
Butch sat in a chair in a corner of the living room thinking. Brick was in Boomer's bedroom trying to restore order to it. Blossom came back in the living room from the kitchen and after giving Miss Bellum her coffee sat down on the armchair of Butch's chair.
"Are you okay," she asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, look I wanna talk to you about something," he said as he tried to approach her about the kiss.
"About what?" Blossom had an idea what it was about but right now she didn't want to talk about it.
"It's about the ki-" he started.
"I don't want to talk about that. I don't think that right now is the best time for it, but I didn't mind it and-"
"The kiss meant nothing," Butch told her, cutting her off and slicing her heart in half. "I was only playing, I had fun with Princess tonight and we might get serious."
Blossom stopped the tears that threatened to come down though it took all the strength she had left inside to do so. " I was going to say the same thing, I don't want to destroy our friendship if something screws up," she was lying and they both knew it. Butch didn't acknowledge her hurt or the pain in her voice. Blossom got up from the chair and walked to the bathroom to save her self from shedding worthless tears.
-_-
"Boomer, Boomer wake up," Buttercup whispered these words as she tried to shake her friend awake. Boomer stirred a little and then sat up as he tried to orient himself with his surroundings.
"Where are we?" he asked her.
"In a prison, he had me upstairs in a nice room but he put me back down here when you came. I think he zapped all my power because when I tried to fight him he just pushed me aside and I don't feel strong anymore. Did he take your power?" she asked.
Boomer tried his eye beams but his eyes only lit up, nothing came out. "Yeah he did. I was sleep and all of a sudden I remember being thrown against the walls. I fought back but he put some sleeping spell on me, like the coward asshole he is," Boomer fumed.
"Are you alright though right now? Do you want something to eat, I've got some food he gave me?" Boomer looked at Buttercup concerned a little that she wasn't yelling at him for getting her caught.
"Hey BC are you okay? Don't you want to yell at me for getting you captured?"
"Trust me Boomer, we have more important things to worry about than how we got captured. We need to worry about why we were captured now, because he has plans for us and from what I've deciphered they aren't good plans," she explained in this voice that let him know that she wasn't the Buttercup at all.
@-@
All right, that's it for now. It's shorter than the other chapters but I'm trying to type this in what little time I have between classes, Ja.
