Sorry for taking so long. I can only go on the internet every so often here but I can't submit. But I writing stories here too. It's sooooooo boring, I never thought you could have too much free time but you can. This town's boring, I have no friends, people watch soap operas for fun not that I have anything against soap operas but after watching every single day it kinda gets to u. I went to play go carts for the first time a couple days ago. It was sooo fun all that power you feel when you're behind the wheel, maybe it's just b/c I never driven before but n e ways I dragged my mom on and I out lapped her like 2wice ^____^. And I got some new comics but they're not as good as Taiwan or HK comics. They're tiny and not very clear. But all the china mangas are like that. O well easier to bring back home. And then I can never go back to Vancouver cuz everyone's gonna laugh at me. My mom single handedly ruined my life there. I was saying that I wished I had chef Boyardee and Doritos and stuff here cuz I sick of Chinese food and my mom told her friend to bring some when she comes up, so now everyone knows and they all gonna make fun of me I know it. O and gomen for so many errors in my last story. I was just looking over it and I found all these words like pleasure I put please and all this stuff. I hope you could understand it honto gomen. Well sorry to bore u with my boring life soooo standard disclaimers blah blah blah. And now you can read the story ^_^
"Kimi-chan wake up." Suboshi said, shaking her slightly. Kimiko mumbled something and turned over. "Kimi-chan get up." Suboshi said again, shaking her harder. Kimi-chan opened her eyes sleepily, "Lemme sleep." She slurred as she closed her eyes again and buried into the sheets. Suboshi sighed and threw off the covers. Kimiko immediately curled into a little ball, trying to warm herself. "Whadya do that for!" she said irritatedly. "Fine fine I'm up." She grumbled as she stood up and stretched. Suboshi smiled slightly as she rubbed her eyes and walked to her clothes. Kimi-chan is so kawaii when she's sleeping and when she's just gotten up too, with her eyes all sleepy. He thought. "Ano Su-kun I gotta change." Kimiko said, pointing to the door. Suboshi blushed slightly and walked out the door. "What am I thinking? I love Yui-sama." He said to himself. "Suboshi, I'm going to take care of some business I have here, why don't you and Kimi-chan go to the festival and play, I'll find you guys later." Nakago said, tossing Suboshi a pouch of money. "If Kimi-chan wants anything get it for her." Nakago said over his shoulder. "Hai Nakago-sama." Suboshi said. Kimiko came out of her room and saw Suboshi standing by her door. "Nakago-sama said for me to bring you to the carnival, while he takes care of some business he said he'll meet up with us later." Suboshi said. "Aiiii yahhh Na-chan is so weird and so Arghhh . I mean why would he want to do business opposed to fun. This is the way it was when we were little he would always go off in the middle of a game to do something." Kimiko said expaseratedly. "Well he is an important man--." Suboshi started. Kimiko held up a hand. "I don't wanna here about it. I'm gonna have a talk with him about the concept of F–U-N fun." she said crossing her arms seriously. Suboshi let out a laugh. "What's with the laugh?" she protested. "Nothing you just looked so funny saying all that stuff." Suboshi said. "Whatever. Let's go now!" she said excitedly as she dragged Suboshi down to the streets.
"Waahhh sugoii! Look at this!" she said pointing at an exquisite glass bird in the window of a shop. Suboshi looked over to where she was but she'd already hurried to the next shop "Sugooiiii." She said pointing at another item, flitting from shop to shop. "Ne Suboshi can we go to see the rides at the carnival." She asked tugging on his arm. Suboshi almost fell over, the boxes and bags in his arms coming dangerously close to falling. "Hai hai, but what are we going to about all this stuff?" he asked. "Ummmm send it back to inn, and I'll meet you at that fruit stand over there." Kimiko said. "Really, you're not going to be late or trick me?" Suboshi asked suspiciously. Kimiko stuck her pinky out. "I promise." She said. "Suboshi struggled to grab her pinky but the bags in his hands got in the way. "Fine, you better be there when I come back." He grumbled as he struggled to go all the way back to the inn, carrying all the stuff. Kimiko waved after him, "Come back soon!" she called. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and skipped to the nearest stand. Suddenly four hands grabbed her into an ally, and held her. "The boss will be so happy to see you again." A man with sour breath said, Kimiko turned her head at the smell, a sweet smelling cloth covered her nose and mouth and soon she lost consciousness.
Tasuki woke up with a throbbing headache. Images from last night flashed into his head. He sat straight up, sending a fresh new wave of pain through his head. He sat still until the pain subsided. "Kimiko!" he called out desperately, hoping that she was still in the room. He touched the side of his head and felt dried blood. He went over to the basin and looked in the mirror. There was a nasty looking cut but it looked like it was healing fine. He washed off the blood and looked around the room. It was a mess, but no signs of Kimiko. "Where'd the brat go." He muttered, but then remembered Nakago. "No he wouldn't." he said to himself. "Or would he?" he said, grabbing his tessen and running out the door. He had to tell the others, he winced as he thought what Tamahome's reaction would be. He'd found Kimiko but now Nakago had her. He shuddered at what the teal haired seishi would do. "Hey you didn't pay!" the innkeeper yelled running after him. Tasuki just sped up. He had to tell the other seishi.
"Where is that baka?!" Tamahome said impatiently. "Just because this village doesn't allow sake here, doesn't mean he can't live one day without drinking. He just haaadd to go to another village just to get a drink, and he's been gone for 3 days!" He said irritatedly. "Tamahome." Miaka said touching his arm. Tamahome looked down at her and sighed, raking a hand through his hair, "Gomen, my temper has been short these days." He apologized. "It's because you're worried about Kimi-chan aren't you." Miaka said softly. "I'll go look for him no da." Chichiri said. "No need," Nuriko said pointing at a cloud of dust coming their way. Tasuki got off the horse and stumbled towards the group. "Are you drunk or something?" Tamahome asked. "N-n-no j-just tired. I s-stole the horse on my way back." Tasuki said breathing hard. "What's wrong Tasuki?" Miaka asked, moving forward to help him. "I found Kimiko." He said. "But Nakago got her." Tasuki continued. "What?!" Tamahome said rushing forward. "How could you let him get her?!" he asked shaking Tasuki. Miaka saw the wound on his head as Tamahome shook him. "Mituskake!" she called, as the doctor was already coming forward. He put a hand on Tasuki's head and the wound healed. "What village!" Tamahome asked, continuing to shake him. "I didn't have time to find out the village's name, but I know the way back." Tasuki said. Tamahome let go of Tasuki and looked at the others. They nodded. "I'll get the horses." Nuriko said.
"So we have a deal Genji-san. Your mercenaries will go here and take care of the Kutou rebels hiding in that mountain. I'll meet you there." Nakago said, pointing to a place on the map. "Hai, Nakago-sama. Now in terms of payment…" the man trailed off. "Yes you'll receive half of your gold when your mercenaries reach that spot and the other half when we have gotten rid of the rebels." Nakago said. "These rebels are the ones who are against you, because you killed the emperor right?" Genji asked. "Yes, but that is none of your business" Nakago said. A guard from outside came into the room and whispered something in the man's ear. Nakago looked at the two of them coolly. "Excuse me Nakago-sama, I have some uhh business to take care of. I would like working with you again in the future." Genji said holding out his hand. Nakago just looked at the hand disdainfully and got up. "Hai." He replied. The man withdrew his hand and Nakago walked out of the room. He walked past a large bag that was being guarded by 2 men. He raised his eye at the sight but walked past without saying anything.
"Kimi-chan where are you?" Suboshi called out. "Kimi-chan this isn't funny Nakago-sama is going to kill me!" He yelled. "For what?" a deep voice from behind asked. Suboshi jumped in fright. "Nakago-sama?" he asked hoping it wasn't him. "What am I going to kill you for?" Nakago asked. "Uhh ano that is umm Kimi-chan is missing." Suboshi said. "What?!" Nakago asked. "She was supposed to meet me here, and she's not here." He said sweating a little. "Well let's split up and look for her." Nakago said returning to his normal face. "Hai." Suboshi said taking off, wanting to put distance between him and what probably was Nakago's anger though he was holding it in pretty well. I hope that Nakago-sama won't take it out on the locals, he heard a crash from the direction he just left and winced, too late.
Kimiko awoke in a dark place. She felt around her and found that she was in a bag. "Lemme out!" she yelled. She felt herself being lifted up and then the top of the bag opened and she came sprawling out and onto the ground. "Hey! What was that for!" she said angrily. "At least you had the sense to knock her out before she could blast you." A voice muttered. She turned around and saw Genji paying two men. "Genji!" she said darkly. "Ahh I see your up." He said coming over and grabbing her chin. "Didn't I tell you that you wouldn't be able to escape me." He said. She moved her fist back to punch his sneering face but he snapped his fingers and she heard sounds from behind. A man came in carrying a struggling little girl. Kimiko tore out of Genji's grip and ran towards the little girl. "Kimiko-neechan!" the girl said crying running towards Kimiko. "Karin-chan." She said scooping the girl up in her arms. She examined the girl and found numerous bruises and cuts. "What did you do to her!" she said angrily to Genji who was walking towards them. "Well somebody had to be punished for your running away." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Teme!" she yelled, wanting to punch his grinning face. "Now now Kimiko-san who knows what could happen to her again if you used your powers on us." He said. Kimiko looked at his smiling face, it disgusted her. True, dozens of girls would fall over themselves over Genji's good looks but Kimiko knew what kind of person he was. He was a cold, calculating man who would do anything to get what he'd want. "What do you want Genji!" she said biting each word. "Do you even have to ask Kimiko-san." He said squatting next to her. She pulled the child in her arms tighter to her, "No way. You already know my answer." She said coldly. Genji raked a hand through his hair. "I don't know why you don't like me. I treat you better than all the other girls around here, and it's not like I can't get any other girl." He said, as he snapped his fingers. Two men grabbed the little girl out of Kimiko's hands. "Kimiko-neechan!" the little girl screamed. Kimiko made a reach for her, but the two men already shut the door. She ran to it, and banged on it, hearing Karin-chan crying for her.
"It's no use." Genji said walking over to her. "If I even see you try to use your powers, that girl is as good as dead, and you know that I'll do what I say." He said, as he wrapped a hand around her waist. Kimiko stiffened. He took his arm away from her. "Why are you the only girl here who defies me." He asked, as he sat on a chair and motioned for her to sit on a chair beside him. Kimiko cautiously walked over and sat down. She examined her surroundings, and found she was in a bedroom. Why didn't I notice this before! She thought panicking. She couldn't use her powers because of the danger Karin-chan would be in. There's only one thing to do. I don't really want to but—, her train of thought stopped as she felt Genji, grab her face and kiss her. Na-chan can you hear me tasukete! She thought trying to reach him.
"Kimi-chan?" Nakago said turning around. He could have sworn he had heard her face. The voice came again. Na-chan, tasukete! He heard in his head. He understood now. She was using her powers as esp. Where are you? He thought. I'm with Gen-, the voice stopped. Kimi-chan, Kimi-chan answer me. He thought desperately. "Nakago-sama! Did you find Kimi-chan?" Suboshi said running over to Nakago. "Iie. But I heard her voice in my head. She said she's with Gen-something. Her voice stopped before she could finish." He said, coldly. Whoever is harming her, zettai urusenai. He thought angrily, though his face showed nothing.
Kimiko brought her hand up to her face, touching what was going to be a bruise. "What were you doing?" Genji asked angrily. "N-n-nothing." She stuttered. "Don't give me that b.s. You worked for me all those years, I know when you use your powers because your face takes on this concentrating expression." He said smacking her again. "I wasn't doing anything Genji, really." She said a bit frightenedly. He threw her to the floor. "Don't lie to me!" he yelled. The two men from before came into the room. "Is something wrong Genji-sama?" they asked. Genji looked from Kimiko to the men. "Yes there is. Bring the little girl in here." He said. "What do you think you're going to do?!" Kimiko said. Karin-chan was brought in to the room.
Genji took a bottle out of his shirt and poured the contents down her throat. "Karin-chan!" Kimiko said, running towards her. Genji tossed the bottle towards her. "I think you know what this is. She only has 10 minutes to live" He said. Kimiko smelled the bottle, and her face held a shocked expression. "Give me the antidote." She said, tears starting to come to her eyes. "You know what I want." He said. Kimiko looked down toward the little girl. "I'd make your decision fast, right now she has 5 minutes left." Genji said. She turned away. "Ok." She said through clenched teeth. Genji smiled and nodded to the men. "Take her out and give her the antidote. It's in the small bag over there." He said pointing. "Iie. I want to see her take the antidote." Kimiko said. "But then what's going to stop you from killing us and taking the girl." He said innocently. "I give you my word." She said. Genji hesitated, but nodded. "Ok. I accept your word." He said, striding over to the bag and pulling out a small bottle. He tossed one of the pills in there to Kimiko, and she gave it to Karin. "Take her now, if anything weird seems to be happening in the room, don't hesitate to kill her." He said, closing the door after the men. He walked over to the bed and sat down. "Kimiko-san you do remember your promise right?" he said, patting the side next to him. She walked over to him, her legs shaking.
Suboshi and Nakago walked out of the mayor's house. They'd asked him if there was anyone who's name started with Gen, and he had been rude up till Nakago started blasting apart his house, then he had been most cooperative. "So there is no one that lives here, who's name starts with Gen" Suboshi said to Nakago. Nakago turned to him with cold eyes. "That means we'll have to start by going through all the inns." Suboshi continued. Nakago said nothing. Suboshi tried to lighten the atmoshphere. "So how did your meeting go today." He asked. "It went fine, G—" he stopped as he realized something. "Genji-san." He said to himself. He vaguely remembered a large bag being guarded. "I know where she is." He said, running off. "Nakago-sama matte." Suboshi said, running after him.
"Genji, I
don't think—" she was cut off as he
kissed her. She bit his lip. He got up, wiping the blood off. "I don't think that was a good idea Kimiko-san." He said pinning her down. "Remember our deal? Well it doesn't matter anyways. One word from me, and Karin-chan is
dead." He said. He lifted up her shirt, and stared. "Perfect." He breathed. "Just like I
imagined." He pinned her hands down
with one hand and his other one went for her undergarment. The door blew open. Genji brought up one hand to shield himself
from the splinters of wood. Genji
looked at the figure in the doorway. "Nakago-sama. You should have
told my men to tell me you were here. I
was just having some fun." He
said. "Get off her." Nakago said dangerously. "Nakago-sama let me have him." Suboshi said, spinning his ryuseisui. Nakago held a hand in front of him. "This one's mine." He said, as
he took in Kimiko's bruised appearance and humiliated state. He held a hand up. "Kimi-chan get out of
there." He said. Genji grabbed her and held her in
front. "I don't know what you're so
angry about Nakago-sama, but what about our deal, it won't go through if you
kill me." He said. "I can find others like you, now let her
go." Nakago said his chi flaring. "Kimiko-san. Tell him to back off, our you know what will happen to
Karin-chan." He said. Kimiko nodded. "Karin-chan. You mean
this little girl." Suboshi said moving
aside. Karin poked her head out from
behind him. Kimiko sighed a sigh of
relief, and suddenly Genji was blown backwards. She ran over and hugged the little girl. "Kimi-chan, you and the girl get out of
here. I don't want you to watch this." Nakago said with a glint in his eye. Kimiko nodded and turned to leave. "Kimiko-san. I really did like you." Genji said. Kimiko held Karin to
her, covering her eyes with her body, and covering one ear as a loud blast and
a tortured shriek came from the room.
"Suboshi I told you not to interfere." Nakago said, as they walked out the building to Kimiko. "Gomen Nakago-sama. I wanted a piece of him too." Suboshi said, his ryuseisui still spinning. Karin gasped as she saw it covered in blood. "Su-kun put that away or wash it off." Kimiko ordered as she covered Karin's eyes. "Who's the kid?" Nakago asked, walking over. "This is Karin-chan." She said uncovering Karin's eyes. Nakago kneeled down. "I'm Nakago." He said. "You can call him Nakago-niichan, and the other man over there, you call him Suboshi-niichan. Ok Karin-chan." Kimiko said. "Demo, Kimiko-neechan didn't the other man call him Nakago-sama. Shouldn't I call him that too, like Genji-sama." Karin asked confused. "Iie. You and me will be the first ones to call him without the sama ok." Kimiko said lightly, ruffling Karin's hair. "Hai, Kimiko-neechan." She said. "Nakago-niichan. Can I have a piggy back ride. You're so tall, and the only one who gives me them is Kimiko-neechan and she's a lot shorter than you." Karin said tugging on his arm. "Hey! I'm not that much shorter." Kimiko protested. Nakago looked at Kimiko who's eyes said that if he didn't he'd be in big trouble. "Hai." He said. Karin climbed onto his back. "Wahh sugoii it's so high up here." She said excitedly. "Can I get on your shoulders?" she asked. Nakago hesitated, but one stern look from Kimiko and he gave up. "Hai." He said lifting her higher, onto his shoulders. He glared at Suboshi who was bent over from laughing to hard. He looked at Kimiko who was trying hard not to laugh. He sighed. "Let's go Na-chan." Kimiko said smiling, and started walking towards the inn. Karin nodded enthusiastically. "Hayaku hayaku, Nakago-niichan. Kimiko-neechan is way ahead of you. Let's beat her!" she said grasping his hair. "Itai!" he said, as she yanked. He pulled her down from his shoulders. "Don't do that again." He said sternly. Karin's eyes welled up with tears. "Gomen!" she said, crying. Kimiko ran back towards them and chopped him on the head. "Ne ne Karin-chan, he didn't mean it did he." She said looking purposefully at Nakago. He sighed, he didn't know why he always let her boss him around, even when they were little, she was usually the one telling him what they were going to do that day and everything, even though she was younger. He didn't say anything, but put Karin back on his shoulders.
