Hey minna everyone surprised? Nakago saved Kimiko from those dudes. That was nice of him wasn't it. Here is the very unexpected turn of the story. Just read. If the story sucks sorta, I can't help it. I just got into another fight w/ parents and my brother who always takes their side, about going to china this summer -_- I specifically said that I wanted to go to the anime convention this year and YWC LAST YEAR!!!! And I kept reminding them all year. And did they listen? Noooooooo they just go on and plan this stupid china summer thing. I hate going to china. There probably isn't even a decent arcade n e where where I going. And then today I spilled coffee on one of my mangas. So today is not a good day. Actually that is what started the fight but o well. Well disclaimers apply etc etc. I don't want to lay all this stuff about my crappy life on all you guys. On with the story. O yeah and thanks for the comments I'll try to follow them. ^_^. Well except for the talking part I don't like skipping lines for that. I did that in English I think last year and I wasn't as comfy with it. o and I know they might seem out of character but I haven't watched FY in like a year and my old age of 14 is beginning to show. ^_^ jk. O and I just warning you the ages don't match up with the series. Cuz I don't exactly know how old they all are so I kinda changed it a bit.
Kimiko woke up and found herself in new clothes. It seemed that all her wounds were bandaged and she felt almost like her genki self. She cautiously opened her eyes and found the boy who had saved her the other day. The boy stirred and looked up sleepily. "I see you're finally up." He said, yawning. "What happened last night?" she asked. Her hand strayed to her neck unconsciously. "Where's my necklace and ring?!" she yelled angrily. "Nakago-sama has them." The boy said. "By the way my name is Suboshi." He said, holding his hand out to her. She reached out to shake his hand. "Watashi wa Kimiko." She said. "Now where is this Nakago-sama? I want my stuff back and I want them now." She said, through clenched teeth. "I'm right here." A blonde haired man walked into the tent. "What do you want girl?" he asked in a monotone voice. "I want my stuff back." She said, through clenched teeth. "What if I don't want to give them back to you." He said matter of factly. "Then I'll fight you for them." She said angrily. "Ano Kimiko-san I don't think you want to fight him." Suboshi warned. "Sure." Nakago replied, smirking slightly. "Nakago-sama she's doesn't even have the powers of the seishi and she's injured and—" Suboshi protested. "And nothing. She challenged me and you expect me to walk away from a challenge?" Nakago asked, raising an eyebrow.
Both contestants moved out of the tent into an open clearing. Nakago powered up. Kimiko's eyes widened, as a thought began to nag her but she couldn't quite place it. "Take this you jerk." She yelled as she ran towards him and then jumped and aimed a kick at his chest. Nakago evaded it easily. "Ahou." He said, firing a ki ball at her. Kimiko's eyes widened at the ki ball but quickly jumped out of the way and the tree behind her burst apart. "What did you say?!" she said through clenched teeth, though now she was obviously being more careful and was assessing her opponent. "I said Ahou!" Nakago said, taking the ring and necklace from his clothes and swinging them around on his finger. "GIVE THAT BACK!" she yelled. Nakago's eyes widened as she began to focus her chi into a ball. Nani?! He thought. A ki ball speedily sped towards him and nearly hit him as he ducked. Kimiko stood gasping and looking like she had practically drained all the energy in her, in that one ball. She grabbed the necklace and ring that had fallen from Nakago's hands as he ducked, and ran off. Nakago quickly sped after her. "Stop!" he ordered. She kept running. "Kimi-chan matte kudesai." He cried desperately as he saw her about to dissapear into the thick trees near the camp. She stopped suddenly and slowly turned around. The necklace and ring falling from her hand. "Na-chan?" she asked uncertainedly in a halting voice. "Hai." Nakago said as he reached her. A lone tear ran down her cheek as she flung herself into his embrace and cried. "Na-chan, I missed you." She cried. "Hai me too, Kimi-chan." Nakago said in an un common gentle voice. Suddenly she started pushing against him. "Iie you're not Na-chan. You're just trying to trick me again." She shouted, struggling out of his embrace. "Kimi-chan it's me." Nakago said soorthingly, trying to hold her still. "Iie iie iie." She cried as she finally kept struggling. "Kimi-chan?" Nakago asked shaking her. "You're just trying to trick me again. This is all a trick!" she yelled. "Nani?" Nakago asked confused. "Tell your master that I won't fall for this trick again." She said angrily and ripped out of his arms, running off into the woods.
"Kimiko-san matte!" Suboshi called after her. He took off running after her and looked curiously at Nakago who was getting up. "Nakago-sama ano who is she to you?" he asked curiously. "None of your business." Nakago replied stonily. They ran for about half an hour, following her footprints. Finally they spotted her up ahead, resting on the ground. "Kimi-chan." Nakago cried gratefully. There was no response from her. "Kimiko-san?" Suboshi asked. Still no response. The two men hurried over to her and found that she had passed out and that some of her wounds had re-opened. Nakago sighed and picked her up. "Let's bring her back. She probably passed out because of exhaustion." He said to Suboshi. Suboshi nodded and they carried the exhausted girl back to their camp.
Kimiko woke up the next day and found her in the same tent that she was in the day before. How did I get back here? She wondered to herself. The blonde man from yesterday walked in. The Na-chan imposter, she thought angrily. "Kimi-chan are you feeling ok?" he asked concernedly. "I would be feeling better if you let me go." She replied bitingly. "You can go if you want, Kimi-chan, but first I want to know who this guy who's after you is." Nakago said, pulling a chair out and sitting backwards on it, facing her. "Don't act as if you don't know you bastard." Kimiko snarled. "I really don't know. What do you want me to do to prove that I'm the real Na-chan." Nakago said sincerely. "Well let's see your ki balls. Na-chan could do that. I saw it yesterday but everything's a bit hazy so it could have been a trick." She said, crossing her arms across her chest. "Ok." Nakago said, as he produced a ball of chi in his hand. Kimiko looked and was going to poke it, but Nakago pulled his hand away. "Remember what happened last time you did that, Kimi-chan." He said with a rare smile.
Flashback
"Na-chan Na-chan can I see your chi ball again?" an 8 year old Kimiko cried excitedly. "Hai Hai Kimi-chan." A 16 year old Nakago said, producing a chi ball in his hand. "Ne can I touch it?" Kimiko said excitedly, looking at the pretty blue ball of chi. "Ano Kimi-chan it might hurt. I don't think you should—" He was cut off as she poked her finger at the ball and then flew back as the ball exploded. Kimiko started crying as her knee began to bleed from a scrape. "Ne Kimi-chan daijoubu?" Nakago asked concernedly as he winced at a pain in his shoulder. He picked her up with his good arm and they walked towards the nearest village to get her some bandages for the knee.
End Flashback
"How did you know that? I never told your master about that." She said curiously. "I told you. I'm the real Na-chan." Nakago said a bit exasperatedly. "Suuurree that's what all the others have said but your perhaps the best one so far." She said rolling her eyes. "Fine what do you want me to do that will get you to trust me." Nakago asked exasperatedly. "Well there is one thing that your master doesn't know. If you can answer this then I'll believe that you're the real Na-chan." Kimiko said carefully. "Then hurry up and ask." Nakago said impatiently. "Fine. Ok when I found Na-chan he was hurt. Why was he hurt?" Kimiko said, watching Nakago carefully, and placing her finger tips on his forehead. Images and memories of the past flooded into Nakago's mind.
A memory of a boy with blonde hair, hurt and lying in the rain. A little girl came up to him and dragged him underneath a canopy of trees to shade them from the rain. A group of cursing, stomping men passed by them. "Where's that little brat." A man muttered. "I think we should just go. It's impossible for him to live through the night especially in this weather." Another man said. "Yeah let's go to that bar I saw earlier." A 3rd man said. "Daijoubu?" the little girl asked. The boy nodded with a stony face, but the look on the girl's face showed that she could see through his stony facade.
Kimiko removed her fingers. The energy it took her to do any sort of magic drained a lot of her chi. "You really are Na-chan?" she asked unbelievingly. "Ok I believe you. None of the fakes have ever past the test. Well actually I never had to read their mind. I could always see the difference, just you, only you I couldn't see through." Kimiko said in a resigned voice. "Ok so now that you believe me. Who is this master guy?" Nakago asked. "Well he's not my master. Well he was kinda but not anymore." Kimiko said in a slightly frightened voice. "Never mind that." She said brightly, putting on a cheerful tone. "So what do you want to do? We're not just going to stay at this camp site forever ne?" she said smiling cheekily. Nakago had to smile back. Now this was the Kimi-chan he remembered. A happy go lucky genki hyperactive girl.
Kimiko kept smiling and walked quietly over to one side of the tent and let out a narusegawa type punch which sent the person on the other side sailing through the air, and landing with a pained oof. "That teaches you to spy on people Su-kun." She said grinning, as hse poked her head outside of the tent flap. "Su-kun?" he asked. "Yeah. You're Su-kun and your Nakago-sama is Na-chan." She said. "Do u mind the name?" she asked. "No no of course not. It's just no one has ever called me that familiarly before." He stuttered. "Well I guess I'm the first person." Kimiko called over her shoulder as she turned back into the tent. A minute later Nakago was shoved outside of the tent. "Nakago-sama, you allow her to shove you around?" Suboshi, asked surprised. "Well allow isn't quite the word." Nakago said, trying to avoid the question. "This is funny. I've never seen anyone bully around you, Nakago-sama, and live." Suboshi said, laughing slightly. Nakago fired a small chi ball at him. "Urusai." He said, before stalking off, leaving a stunned Suboshi behind him.
Half an hour later Kimiko stepped out of her tent wearing some of Suboshi's clothes spare clothes that had been left for her. Nakago's were way too big for her and she and Suboshi were about the same build. Her old clothes, that she took from Tamahome, were dirty and bloody so she needed new clothes. The sleeves hung past her hands but that was ok. It was still nicer material, plus nicer clothes than she used to wear when she lived on the streets. Suboshi was waiting near the horses and had everything packed up. "Su-kun!" Kimiko yelled, waving at him. Suboshi waved back and walked towards her. "Nakago-sama said to move out. He went ahead, and told me to bring you to meet up with him. He had some business to take care of." Suboshi reported. "That baka why didn't he tell me. I would have come out sooner." Kimiko muttered as she started taking down her tent. Suboshi moved to help her and soon they had everything packed and folded and loaded. "Ano Su-kun…" Kimiko asked. "Hai?" Susohi replied. "Ano where's my horse?" Kimiko asked. Suboshi sweatdropped. "Gomen Gomen I forgot to go buy an extra one from that village. It totally slipped my mind when I went to get provisions." He said bowing his head over and over. "It's ok." Kimiko said absent mindedly as she stared at the magnificent horse. "Is this yours?" she asked. "Hai. Me and aniki picked it out." Suboshi said proudly. "He's beautiful." She said. The stallion pure white, was tall and graceful, with a pure white mane and the blackest eyes u can imagine. Suboshi swung himself ontop of the stallion and lent his hand down to Kimiko. Kimiko grabbed it and he pulled her up. "So where we going Su-kun?" "It's a surprise." He replied with twinking eyes.
