Hi Guy's!

PART II

Kotori was still at the point of begging Hitomi when Hitomi turned round and clasped her hand over Kotori's mouth again silencing her.

"What's the matter?" muffled Kotori.

"Voices" said Hitomi.

Hitomi removed her hand and immediately headed towards where the voices with Kotori close behind. As the two ran and Kotori was by Hitomi's side she said

"And you expect me to think you had an adventure here" said Kotori but once again Hitomi silenced her, but this time pulled her down to the ground in the bushes.

"HOW!" mouthed Kotori barely as she was so speechless to what she saw next.

Hitomi would normally smile at Kotori's reactions especially in these circumstances but her eyes were to busy glued to this particular gummi before her. She didn't know this gummi name having never seen him before, but that he was purple gummi and magician, seeing the medallion around his neck resembling very much to the Councillor's in Gummadoon.

Kotori however now had her mouth locked open and was gawping at him, and even more so when she saw five more gummi's come out from the bushes, all of different colour and sizes, but she already guessed who they were.

Hitomi was now watching these gummi's infront of her with deep interest and a slight suspicion but that was soon thrown to the wind as she watched a small bird, a toucan by her reckoning as it crashed into a brown hazel gummi and stuttered something. She could see from her place that this toucan was indeed in shock but couldn't hear anything to what it was saying and before she knew it the toucan took to the air again and flew off in the direction it came from, only this time the gummi's on ground following it. Hitomi stayed in her position for a moment thinking as to what she should do, but her mind had soon made up, she would follow them. She didn't know why but she felt that toucan had said something important to those gummi's before it flew off and beside she didn't mind being in company of another gummi. Hitomi nudged Kotori as the two of them crawled their way through, bush by bush, Hitomi hopefully wanting to catch up with the other gummies and felt that they were left behind by a mile, so with her foot she booted Kotori who went tumbling forward by a few yards.

Kotori sat up and shot Hitomi a poisonous glare but proceeded to follow the gummies that were now literally right in front of her as Hitomi crawled up to her side still looking serious. Kotori now seemed to be sat there clueless as to why Hitomi wanted to follow the Glens and why she was acting so serious. She then turned her head away from Hitomi and looked at the Glens, they seemed frozen to the spot staring at something in apparent shock. Kotori then carefully as not to be seen looked over them and felt herself gawping again, her eyes going big and bulging out their sockets while Hitomi looked ahead at the scene with a smile plastered on her face and looking at Kotori amused.

Hitomi bit into hand as to stop herself laughing and giving themselves away to the Glens but seeing Kotori's face was just too much to miss. She slowly started to calm down taking deep breathes while Kotori looked at her as if she was psycho, once Hitomi felt she was sure she had calmed down she then indicated Kotori to come closer and whispered to her

"Notice something ahead" she said with a slight snigger

Kotori nodded and Hitomi spoke once more, but more to herself than Kotori

"Gummadoon"

Meanwhile the two girls had realised that their whispering was loud enough to reach one particular gummi's ears, it was Zummi, and he felt for sure sensing that these two knew what they were dealing with that one of them was the girl in the legend. Though another question was left unanswered and left him very puzzled, it had been hundred of years since that legend but how could that girl of legend still be alive, unless she vanished with them but that was not mentioned in the book if she had. His thoughts were soon interrupted and made them all jump in astonishment when one the two girls Zummi had previously heard whispering jumped into the air shrilled with excitement, her fist punching the air as she grabbed the other girl on the ground beside her and ran down the hill towards the castle gates.

Hitomi ran down the hill still half carrying Kotori, when she neared the entrance she let go and allowed Kotori to fall face down into the ground while she Hitomi filled with happiness and excitement dashed to the gate and greeted Councillor Wooddale.

The Glens who previously jumped in shock by the sudden outburst and chased after the two girls now stood completely bewildered by the whole situation when they heard the girl a few metres away from them on the ground shout

"HITOMI WHAT YOU GOING DROP ME FOR!" shouted Kotori and marching up to Hitomi.

Hitomi who had been too busy holding a conversation with Councillor Wooddale and gave a quick embrace then replied that question with the only answer that made Kotori even more annoyed "Oops".

"OOPS, IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY, AND STOP LAUGHING" yelled Kotori even more angry by the fact Hitomi was now bent over laughing, with tears coming to her eyes.

"OW, stops it hurts," cried Hitomi clutching her side, and laughing hard.

But then hearing Kotori growl and turn her back towards her, Hitomi then soon turned to Wooddale and noticed she was looking at Kotori with deep distrust and was looking at Hitomi not at all too pleased, looking at Hitomi in a way she should've known better knowing now that Kotori could not leave now she knew where they were located.

Hitomi soon picked on this and looked at Wooddale apologetically, as she introduced Kotori to her, though halfway through the conversation as Hitomi she received a telling off and Kotori was to be kept on a close watch and was to stay in sight of one of the knights.

The conversation between them soon ended as the three of them turned to the approaching gummies as Councillor Wooddale greeted them, and answered a few of their questions before leading them indoors.

Hitomi soon separated from the group and went her own way wanting to make a surprise to one in particular knight of her return, unfortunately she could not take Kotori with her as not to give away to much notice that she had returned and hoped that Kotori would not go in the Councillor Tower with Wooddale and the Glens. Hitomi had already spoken to Wooddale and asked her specifically not to tell anyone yet that she had returned, before she disappeared and left Kotori somewhat furious with her. Hitomi watched from her place on one of the nearby buildings as she watched the Glens and Councillor Wooddale enter the Councillor Tower by the quickcar swan through the window, but as she looked down on ground she could see Kotori leaning against the Tower, watched by one of the knights. This to Hitomi was good news as she quickly followed the swan quickcar inside the Councillor's Tower, carefully making sure she was not seen as she jumped behind one of the wooden pillars just as the quickcar landed. She then listened intensively to Glens and the knights discussing about Cubbi's courage and bravery against the ogres. Hitomi waited until she felt they had finished talking, when she saw that they had she could see they were about to separate each going their own ways as she jumped from the top of the wooden pillar and landed neatly behind knights she spoke, her voice strong, bit with a hint of amusement

"Hey, guys, long time, no see" she said startling them all, as they spun round to face her.

"Hitomi" said Sir Plucki as Hitomi stepped forward, threw her arms round him and embraced him.

Hitomi embraced each of them and then got pulled literally into a bear hug when Sir Gumlittle hugged her, when she finally pulled away she turned to see Kotori enter the building along with a knight by her side.

Kotori shot another furious glare at Hitomi, and Hitomi noticed that everyone in the room except for the Glens where looking at Kotori with sudden distrust, the knights she noticed tensed as if Kotori was up to something.

"I think I've got a bit of explaining to do" said Hitomi quietly and noticed the knight's turn to look at her somewhat confused.

"To damn right you have" replied Kotori.

"It was an accident that she came," said Hitomi noticing everyone staring at her.

"What that suppose to mean?" asked Kotori.

"Well, upon me once again evaporating from my own world, Kotori was an accident, because you see she saw me starting to vanish from her sight and started to freak out, but at the same time however she was also vanish, how, I do not know" said Hitomi and was now staring at the floor ignoring the glare she received once again from Kotori.

"Was there any physical contact between the two of you?" asked one of the Councillors.

"Yes?" replied Hitomi lifting her head.

"Then that may be the cause of your friends disappearance as well," said Councillor Wooddale.

A silence filled the room until it was broken by the knights and the Glens walking out of the Councillor's Tower and into the training grounds leaving Hitomi and Kotori on their own with the Councillor's as they began to discuss a few things.

***

Meanwhile Cavin had just arrived in Gummi Glen to find that there was no one here, this of cause worried him because usually if something happened to one of them they would all be out searching except for Grammi, usually and normally one of them would remain behind, but there was no-one. He began to walk very fast towards the library, still breathing fast as began to think that Igthorn had finally captured them and taken the Great Book whilst he was knocked out. Cavin gradually and steadily began to grow nearer to the library until he was standing by the door, his hand on the door knob. He was shaking and was afraid and then finally finding courage he pushed open the door and to his great relief he found that the great book was still there and unharmed. Now he knew the book was safe he had to act and rescue his friends which he presumed had been caught, or were looking for them after Cubbi not returning last night.

So, quickly Cavin shut the door to the library behind him as he ran down to the kitchen, grabbed a barrel of Gummiberry Juice and ran towards one of the exit's. Now reaching the exit he opened it and climbed out, the barrel still firmly held in his hand as he shut the exit and ran a little way into the forest before he suddenly felt something tie him up as he fell to the ground, the barrel that was once in his hand now rolled about on the ground and in the bushes. Cavin struggled against the ropes that tied him up when he then saw two feet before him, he slowly started to look up and saw a gummi knight look back down at him. Cavin then saw two more gummi knights and by looking at them saw that they were probably of lower ranker than the knight stood before him, he had bluish, greyish fur, black onyx eyes and a moustache, when the knight spoke

"See humans haven't changed in 500 years".
