DL turned on the heat to melt the frost off the windows from the traveling, as Yoshida squinted to see past it. She didn't know whether it was safe to walk out or not, but she took her chances. She hoped she went early enough to before her family's attempt to kill Sir.
She stepped out into a field, almost like the one she just left, but now had a few more trees. She went towards the front of DL, and went to lean on his hood. She forgot he was freezing cold, and jumped up with a yelp. DL beeped.
"DL, you stay here. I am going to go find my family." Yoshida said. She walked on the path up the hill, and looked out over the villages. All seemed familiar to her. They were in the same spots, maybe a few houses weren't there, but other than that it was relatively the same. However, there was one village that she had never seen before.
"I guess that is a good spot to start." Yoshida said to herself. She looked towards the clock tower of Yatisha Hall, to see the time, then looked at her watch. It was three hours off. She shrugged, and walked towards the mysterious village.
The village was ransacked. There were objects, and possessions all over the ground. Many shades of green Yoshis were wandering around cleaning up the mess. Yoshida walked up to a Yoshi, about her age, and asked what was up.
"Sir came through here again. I dunno why he has to bother us, but he does. I wish it would end." The Yoshi said, almost in tears. "Who are you, anyway? I never seen you before."
"I am Yoshida Knight. I come from an island a little ways from here."
"Hi, Yoshida. I'm Nika." The Yoshi smiled.
"Hey. Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure. But first, I need to help get this place cleaned up. Can it wait for a while?"
"Sure. No problem. Is there anyway I could help?"
"Yes. That would be great. Pick up whatever you can and lay it in a pile over by that tree. The owners will get it from there. Thanks!" Nika said. She then went back to work.
Yoshida picked up a few items. She looked at them closely. She was with her family; she could feel it! She held onto those items as tight as she could before she put them next to the tree. When she got to the tree, she recognized it. This is the tree she climbed up on her first night on the island. She knew there was something special about that tree. When she climbed it, she felt safe. Nika walked up to Yoshida.
"Are you ok?" She asked, as she put down her load. "You're staring at a tree." She giggled. Yoshida smiled.
"I am ok." Yoshida said. They both walked back to the houses and picked up more stuff.
Finally everything was picked up, and returned to their rightful owners. Nika and Yoshida sat down and began talking.
"So, what were your questions?" Nika asked.
"Yes! How long has this koopa been after you guys?" Yoshida asked.
"Well, he isn't just after us. He is after all the Yoshis on this island. There is nothing special about us, that I know of, that he will single us out. I guess it was our turned to be 'graced with his presence'." Nika said sarcastically. Yoshida laughed.
"Ok. Do you know if any Yoshi in this family ever threatened him physically? Like ever was about to kill him or something?"
"Not that I know of. I dunno who would be goofy enough to threaten Sir. I would have to commit them to some institution if that was the case. That is, if Sir didn't take care of it himself." Nika giggled. Yoshida jumped for joy inside. She wasn't too late.
"Did anyone ever threaten him when he wasn't around?"
"Oh, well, I am sure everyone has one time or another. But no one did to his face."
"Ok. Thanks!"
"You're welcome. But why did you want to know?"
"Just curious."
"Hey, my sister and her fiancée are having a party tonight, in honor of their wedding! Do you want to come?" Nika asked excitedly.
"Sure!"
"Cool!"
***
It was time to go to the party, and Yoshida could hardly control herself. She was with her whole family all at once. She was experiencing one of her family's parties. And what a party it was! There was music playing, and so much food. People were associating with each other while others danced. Nika wanted Yoshida to meet her sister, and dragged her to the table.
"Hey Suri! I want you to meet Yoshida. She came from another island." Nika said. The Yoshi turned around. She was close to Yoshida's color, and had Yoshida's eyes. She smiled at her.
"Hey Yoshida. I always loved that name. I was planning on naming my child that." She said in a sweet tone. Yoshida felt her heart racing. Her mind filled with so many thoughts. She also felt a hole inside her fill. Could this be? Could this be her mom? Sir always mentioned that he named her "Yoshida" because of her mom. He thought that was the least he could do after killing the family. She became overjoyed. How she wanted to jump on her and give her a big hug, and never let go. Suri continued. " My name is Suri. And this is my fiancée, Kenji."
"Why, hello, Yoshida. Nice to meet ya, and I hope you enjoy your visit here at this island." Kenji smiled. Kenji was a normal shade of green, and had dark brown hair. His eyes were gray, and was kinda cute.
'Daddy.' Yoshida thought.
"Thanks. I am having a good time with this group so far!" Yoshida said, smiling back.
"That's great! Sit down, stay awhile. Have some fruit salad." Kenji said invitingly. He leaned over and put a hand to his mouth blocking Suri. "Just don't eat all the drandi berries. Suri would go crazy!" He joked. He got a hit from Suri who giggled.
"Yeah. I love those berries. They're my favorite." Suri said.
'That's where I got my addiction from' Yoshida thought.
"So, what island are you from exactly?" Suri asked.
"It's a ways from this island. Very beautiful." Yoshida said. She had a hard time saying the word 'beautiful'.
"What's it called? I explored almost every island on this planet. I even snuck onto Forbidden Island. What excitement THAT was. Almost got caught. Did you know that that koopa has such a nice decorative castle? All those rugs. He must have stolen them from the human world." Suri said excitedly. She was obviously proud of her achievement getting onto and off the island. Yoshida shook.
"Yeah. I know." Yoshida managed to say. " I was in there once. He is a very nice decorator. I do love the carpet he has in his den, the red one with gold trim around it." Although she wasn't too fond of the subject, she was happy she had something to talk about with her mom. She didn't care at this point, as long as they were getting along.
"Oh you poor dear. What happened? Did he capture you?" Suri asked concerned. Yoshida put her hand over her upper arm, and began rubbing it.
"Well, you could say that. He had a problem with my family." Yoshida said. She looked downward.
"Well, I am happy you survived."
"Yeah. Me too. Hey, why did you want to go there in the first place?" Yoshida inquired.
"I was young, and immature. I wanted to prove that I was brave and also to take a risk. I wasn't being very smart. Boy, did I get in trouble THAT night!" Suri said. Nika giggled.
"I remember that day. Dad was SO mad." Nika said. Suri joined in laughing.
"Well, it's getting late." Kenji said. "I think it is time to wrap this up."
"Well, nice meeting you Yoshida. Hope to see more of you!" Suri said.

"Mysterious car appears. Could this be a trick?" Nat began reading one of the headlines from a newspaper on KITT's monitor. "Yoshis claimed to have heard three booms, and a flash. Some went to investigate and found a souped up car. The car began driving away, as if it wanted to hide. Some thought it could be one of Sir's devious tricks… Look, it's DL." Nat said, pointing to a picture, which KITT blew up.
"Well, I guess she made the papers. DL, a trick car from Sir? Never!" Summer said.
"Don't fool yourself" KITT said.
"Oh, KITT." Sashi sighed.
"What else is there?" Yoshiko asked. KITT searched through the rest of the archive.
***
Yoshida spent a few days in the village, but slept in DL. Yoshida's parents' wedding was that weekend coming, and Suri couldn't control her self; she was so excited. You can see she loved Kenji very much.
Sir made a few more visits, and according to Nika, that was unusual that he visited that often. Yoshida became worried.
"Yeah, I dunno why he is coming by so often. It's not normal. He must know something special is coming up." Nika said. "Or possibly, he feels threatened by you, no offence though."
"No offence taken, but what do you mean?"
"I mean, since he captured you once before."
"He might not remember. It was such a short time anyway." Yoshida said, trying to get out of the rut she was in.
"Oh."
"Yeah, I am starting to get annoyed though myself. I hate when people barge in uninvited so often." Yoshida said. She felt rage fill her because Sir visited her family so much. She was becoming defensive for her family. She would do ANYTHING to keep Sir away from her family and to prevent her family from doing anything dumb to get themselves into trouble.
***
It was the day of the wedding, and Yoshida was on her guard. Sir had visited twice a day and Yoshida was feeling threatened for her family.
'I hope he doesn't come today. He isn't helping at all, coming here twice a day. How can I prevent what happened if he keeps coming? Someone is bound to make a false move, if they are feeling threatened enough.' Yoshida thought. 'Ok, Yoshida, Calm yourself. You are at your parents' wedding. It will run smoothly, and perfectly. Nothing will go wrong.' Yoshida took a deep breath.
Suri and Kenji were up at the alter, and they had just said their vows. They kissed, and turned to leave. That's when Sir popped up.
"Aww, how cute. The two love birds, finally got married." He said with a chuckle. Yoshida rolled her eyes, as everyone gasped and coward in fear.
'This is insane. How could this happen? Why must he mess up my parents' wedding!' Yoshida grew angry. Her 'koopa' side began to show, as her face became full of rage. She lost control of her temper.
"How could you be so inconsiderate?" Yoshida said, spinning around towards Sir, who became surprised.
"It's my nature." He said.
"Go away! You are not wanted here!" Yoshida yelled. She pointed her finger towards his island, telling him to leave.
"Why should I listen to a Yoshi, not to mention a stranger?" Sir chuckled. "If I want to bust up a beautiful wedding, I can. There is nothing you could do to stop me."
Yoshida's wings sprouted angrily, and she went rushing towards him. They went tumbling out the door. Yoshida rolled off of him, and ran to a sign. She pulled it up, revealing a metal point at the end.
The other Yoshis looked out the door and the windows, afraid to cheer on Yoshida. Sir looked at the point of the pole, and back at Yoshida.
"If you want an extra spike coming out of you, I suggest you leave now, and don't come back for a long time!" Yoshida said sternly. Sir looked at her in surprise.
"You won't get away with this, Yoshi. You will pay!" And at that, Sir was gone.
'You will pay?' Yoshida repeated in her thoughts. She looked at the weapon in her hand. 'Oh my gosh! What have I done?' The pole dropped.
Despite the cheering and congratulations she got from her family, she wasn't proud of herself. She broke down in tears and ran away. The other Yoshis became confused and looked at each other.
"What is the matter with her?" One Yoshi said.
"I dunno. I would be proud of myself if I did that." Another said.
"I guess it is the shock that she stood up to him like that got to her." Kenji said.
"I don't know, but she sure was brave. I am definitely naming on of my children Yoshida in honor of her." Suri said. Kenji nodded in agreement.
***
Yoshida ran to DL and jumped in. She started him up, turned on his time circuits, and punched in the destination she came from. She put DL in hover mode, and hit eighty-eight mph, and was gone. Her family never saw her again.
When she got back to present time, everything was normal. She drove back to her cave, where she was met up with her friends.
"It was my fault!" She cried as she got out of DL. The crew looked up at her, and Nat ran over to hug her.
"We had KITT look it up in the newspaper archives. I am sorry Yoshida." Nat said. The others came over to join them.
"It was me! I determined their fate! I was the one who threatened Sir. Sir got revenge on them because of me!" Yoshida said, holding onto Nat tightly. "I couldn't control my temper. I was so mad at him. I couldn't contain myself."
Nat tried calming her down.
"I am sorry mommy! I am sorry Daddy. I am sorry Aunt Nika! You had to suffer for something I did. MY life shouldn't have been spared!"
"Shhhhh." Nat said. He rocked Yoshida back and forth.
Yoshida: Yeah, I know. In both stories I have up now, I am always depressed, but truthfully, I am a fun loving, happy girl. Really! XD Please read and review and tell me how you liked it (or didn't like it). :P
She stepped out into a field, almost like the one she just left, but now had a few more trees. She went towards the front of DL, and went to lean on his hood. She forgot he was freezing cold, and jumped up with a yelp. DL beeped.
