Anyways, here comes tha next chapter! =)
================================ ===================================== At the Forest...
"Now we're gonna kno who ya really are!" Number 4 crowed when he got the shooter by...raven black hair?
"Huh? Wait a minute..." Number 1 said. He then pulled the hood off of the shooter...revealing a pissed off Ayumi.
"ONEE-SAN?!" Sumi yelped. Ayumi jumped back and aimed her hand at the KND.
"You come closer, you'll die!" Ayumi snapped. As she said this, her eyes were also red, really creeping out the KND.
"Wha tha crud...why's her eyes red?!" Number 4 asked in a startling tone.
"Right around here, I remember that to tell if someone is in a weird trance or controlled, their eyes turned red, but not bloody red, for those who are actually..." Number 5 said.
"Ok, I think that's all we hafta know, Number 5! We gotta wake her up!" Number 274 interrupted before running off. Needles shot out like machine gun bullets as the KND runs, avoiding the poisonous weapons from Ayumi. Sumi looked around for a hiding place, but she got unlucky.
"Oh no!" Sumi cried as she jumps from the needles, which were aimed for her feet. The needles clunked against the tree behind her and Sumi kept running, the scepter in her hands. Not knowing another tree in front of her, the little girl crashed into it, nearly knocking herself out.
"SUMI!" Everyone yelled. Ayumi was already smirking, showing no longer the sisterly love that Sumi always see in her.
"Onee-san, can't ya even remember???" Sumi whimpered. The 17 year old only raises her right hand, and Sumi realizes that's where the needles came from! It's some weird-looking crossbow gun on her wrist, and Ayumi is already loading it with needles.
"Master tells me to kill you. You know why, and then no one will EVER KNOW!" Ayumi said, now turning hysterical when she finally has the needles in the weapon. She then raises her right arm again, and wringed it a little. "Say good bye, Hitomi Sumi!" Sumi shrieked in fear as Ayumi pulls the trigger from the thing. Sounds of fast-flying needles echoed into the ears of the KND, leaving them both horrified and muted. Number 274 can't stand this. His someone killing her sister...WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!
"Sumi!" Number 274 yelled and ran. Number 4 grabbed him by the sleeves, and pulls him back.
"Whadda bloody hell ar' ya doing?!" Number 4 snapped.
"What do YOU think?! Let ME GO!" Number 274 shot back.
"There's NOTHING we can do now! She's gone..." Number 5 murmured as she let her head bow down. However, she realizes that their was suppose to be a sickening sound of dead body. But there isn't any.
"Wait a minute..."Number 1 said. He also realizes it too. "Something's not right..." Everyone dared to look up from their hiding spot, and found a seething Ayumi.
"NANI?! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE! NOT DISAPPEAR!" Ayumi screamed in frustration. A huge leaf that no one noticed unwrapped and in there is a well Sumi and Number 3.
"Numbuh 3!" Number 5 yelled. Number 3 just nodded and stood in front of Sumi for protection as the mad Ayumi came closer again.
"Ah, Master says that someone who looks like you...is also suppose to end up like Sumi", Ayumi said in a controlled calm tone as she takes a needle (a LONG one) out behind her robes, instead of loading it to her weapon. "And her name is, Miko Kuki Sanban?"
"That's Numbuh 3 to you!" The Asian girl corrected her sarcastically as she got out her bow.
"Well I guess there's no need to ask you to stay out of my way...because you're gonna die, too!" Ayumi laughed and threw the needle as hard as she could. The needle flew, unnoticeably, but Number 3 sensed it and casually steps to the side with Sumi behind her, and the sharp object hits the tree.
"Not necessarily", Number 3 responded as she struggled to stay on both of her feet. But that sprain is hard to bear and stand on, let alone that it is her huge disadvantage at this moment.
"Ai! Kuki-chan looks injured!" The naïve Sumi thought as she watches her friend against her sister.
"Sumi! Do something! Try to get your sister back!" Number 1 called to her.
"But what if I did it wrong??? I'm scared! =(" Sumi cried out loud.
"You won't! You did it ta Numbuh 1, so it might work again!" Number 5 assured her. Sumi then took out her scepter, now determined to stop this.
Meanwhile, Number 3 limped as she felt the needles past by her and her kimono. Several have already past through her clothing, but she got lucky that none of the poison stuck onto her. At least not until yet.
"Shit! I don't think I can make it!" Number 3 muttered when the last needle went through her right sleeve, now showing a bigger hole.
"Until then, Miko", Ayumi snarled before she raises her hand of needles to eliminate Number 3.
"Number 3!" Number 4 yelled. Just then, Sumi popped out of nowhere, and right in front of Number 3 and took out the scepter.
"Stay back!" Sumi yelled and then swished her scepter, the beam shooting out at her sister. Ayumi was hit, and then her eyes were no longer red. She didn't scream nor did she do anything, as her body floated up in the air, the elements of the white magic purifying her back to her true self. When the process was finished, Ayumi falls to the floor unconscious, and Number 274 caught her just on time.
"Thank god! Now there's one more!" Number 3 said as she ran over to her friends. But forgetting that she's still injured, she falls down when the searing pain came again in her right ankle. "CRAP!"
"Kuki-chan! Let me help you up!" Sumi said. The little girl struggled to lift up the teen, and nearly tipped over when Number 3 was finally standing up.
"Ah'll take it frum here, Sumi", Number 4 told the girl. Sumi said ok and walked ahead, wanting to see her sister, as Number 4 helped Number 3 put most of her support on his hands.
"Thanks, Numbuh 4 =)" Number 3 told him gratefully, and Number 4 can feel himself still blushing again.
"Just when Ah thought Ah got over tha', it happens again!" Number 4 thought as he tried not to let his tinted pink face go red. "Buh Ah know tha she don't feel tha way...Ah know tha she jus' don'." Both of them walked over to where the group is, as the fallen Ayumi slowly woke up.
"Na-Nani? Where am I?" The teen asked when she woke up.
"Onee-san!" Sumi wailed and hugged her sister. "You're ok! And I got so much to tell you!"
"Whatever do you mean, Sumi-chan?" Ayumi asked her sister gently. Yup, the kind one is back now.
"Well, you'll see about that when we get back to the hut", Number 274 told her. He was still holding her, but Ayumi didn't ask him to let her down. After all, she still felt dizzy from everything.
"C'mon, we gotta get goin' n then find Numbuh 2!" Number 5 said as they started to walk along. Number 3's sense kicked in, and she yelled, "WATCH OUT! RUN TO THE LEFT!" Everyone obeyed, and a huge green laser beam shot out at the ground, disintegrating a bush.
"AGAIN?!" Number 5 groaned when she looked up to see where it came from. Sumi was too tired to even do this, and now she was getting angry because she was VERY tired.
"AIYA! I ONLY WANT A BREAK! NOT A BATTLE! SO GO AWAY!" Sumi yelled in anger, and swings her scepter down, scaring the crap outta everyone when they saw the size of her beam (it's as long as the Empire State Building). A yell responded to the beam, and then a thump can be heard when the thing falls to the ground. Everyone looked at each other, surprised that Sumi actually hit someone without looking, and then ran to the direction of the yell. When Number 1 parted the bush, an unconscious Number 2 lay still on the ground.
"NUMBUH 2!" Everyone said at the same time and went to him.
"It's best not to wake him up! We gotta get outta here and think of a plan!" Number 1 said. He beckoned the others to help lift up the doofus to his feet and walk him back to the hut. As the KND trudged along, tired but happy, a pair of angry eyes were glaring after them in the darkness before it disappears.
"Watch out, Kids Next Door. Your lives end here!" The familiar voices droned out loud before it ended with a hiss.
================================= ===========================
"Ya know, we're suppose ta be on guard, buh I'm tired!" Number 5 complained as she leaned against the couch, breathing in and out the air.
"So I guess we needed two for tonight. Those who is active enough", Number 1 told her as he yawned.
"Not me, me too sleepy..."Sumi yawned and immediately falls asleep on Number 274's lap.
"Well, Number 4 and I can do the shifts tonight", Number 3 told him. Number 4 opened his mouth to object, but Number 3 kicked him hard on the shin to shut him up.
"Ok, then it's official. When you both don't see anything within 4 hours, then go to sleep. But if you're getting tired, well, I guess ya'll can sleep", Number 1 told her before he turns away. "Good Night and be on guard." Everyone then started going to wherever they were suppose to sleep, and the lights were off. Only thing that remains on is the fireplace, where the soothing but burning smell of the wood puts them to sleep.
"Great, now what?" Number 4 grumbled as he and Number 3 stood on the rooftop, staring up at the peaceful skies.
"Well, do whatever you can do, just as long as you can keep watch for something", Number 3 said with a shrug before turning away and looked at the stars. Number 4 sighed and then takes a CD player out of his pants pockets.
"Hard ta believe tha Ah still got this in mah pants", Number 4 said to himself. Putting the headphones on, he pressed the PLAY button, and the familiar guitar and drum notes, along with bass and scratching boomed in his ears. " And also still working..." 2 hours past and nothing is there. Number 3 is bored and she then started singing the lullaby that her mother sang to her long ago. After a couple of verses, her eyes landed on Number 4, who seems to look like he's sleeping, but is actually listening to something. Curious, Number 3 tiptoed over to him and sat next to him. She slowly slipped off the headphones, and Number 4 was still sound asleep.
"Jeez, and I didn't know that he can be such a heavy sleeper!" Number 3 thought as she stifled her giggles. Before putting the headphones on her ears, she watched Number 4. "Aww...Wallabee looks so cute ^-^ I would have brought my camera along, so that I can kinda blackmail him!" She thought again. When her finger hits the play button, Linkin Park's "Easier To Run" rings in her ears.
"It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played..."
"it's Number 4's CD! Meteora!" Number 3 thought as she listened to the song. "But there's something familiar about this... besides the fact that he's a huge fan of them."
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Suddenly, pictures of Wallabee flashed in Number 3's mind, now bringing her senses back to memory.
"Of course! Number 4 told me that this song reminded him of his life!" Number 3 thought. She can still feel it: Number 4 and his dad's arguments, his wondering about his mother, the changes around them, the time when KND nearly broke up... even her own memories.
"It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a path..."
"No wonder Number 4 likes this band a lot", Number 3 thought as she let herself now getting into the rhythm of the rock band's music and the words about life. "It's like his Bible or something like it..."
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
As Number 3 listened, she felt her eyes getting blurrier and blurrier. She felt herself lying into Number 4's shoulders; not knowing that she has woke him up. Before sleeping, her hands were around a blanket that she took up with her.
"Just watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler to change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone..."
Number 4 was about to object to Number 3 about his CD player, but saw her sleeping instead. He checked the number, and realizes that it was the song that he kept listening to back then, when he got the CD. Despite it all, he can still remember himself explaining to Number 3 why he like that song so much.
**FLASHBACK**
"Number 4! Can you turn THAT down?! I'm sick of listening to Linkin Park!' Number 3 yelled at the stairs. "I'm tryin' ta feed the hamsters!"
"Feed 'em sumwhere!" Number 4 called down and turns the volume up higher. Number 3 growled and went upstairs, ready to ramble on Number 4. This song from the Linkin Park CD (METEORA) he bought is driving her crazy and this has got to stop! When Number 3 made it, she stomps over to the boom box and presses the OFF button.
"Whadda bloody hell?! Ah was listenin ta tha!" Number 4 snarled.
"Ya, you were listening to the same song for TOO FRIGGIN LONG!" Number 3 yelled at him. "Can't you listen to something else different?! It's driving me crazy!"
"One girl's opinion!" Number 4 retorted. "An' besides, Ah can tell you why I like this song enough ta repeat it! Cuz of Dad and every single shiz from everyone else!"
"Oh? What do you mean EVERYONE else?!" Number 3 shot at him.
"I don't mean you, Number 3. Jus' tha' Dad is givin me shit today, n...FORGET IT! YOU JUST WON'T UNDERSTAND!" Number 4 said defensively. Number 3 was taking a peek at the lyrics at the same time, and when there was the one that said, "The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see", she asked, "What's the secrets?" Number 4 yelled in frustration, and said, "GET OUT!"
"Jeez, don't need ta be rude!" Number 3 said as she slammed the door behind her. Number 4 sighed and then resumes back to playing the song.
"You and everything in family are the secrets..." Number 4 thought before he lost himself in the music.
**END FLASHBACK**
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Number 4 smiled a little both of sadness and confusion at his memory. He then looks at the calm and serene Number 3 before realizing that he himself was sleepy too. He also fell asleep, having the girl of his dreams in his arms, sleeping in the blanket that he wrapped around both Number 3 and himself. They were yet to see what happen soon...when both the Kolans and the brainwashed children battles again.
=============================== ================================
Don't get the wrong idea of why I put in Linkin Park. I really love em, and besides, I wanna put in a different theme that is more like the style that I like it to be in this fic. So then, there may be a prequel to this, but it might not be like what I wrote in this story. Yea, at least whatever you all read in this have some things that will be in the prequel. Well, yea, there'll be a little bit of romance, but not as much as this one xD. And that reminds me... once im done with this, maybe a sequel for this? O well, that may come later when we see how things are like. Anyways, hope you don't get confused with this chapter: once again, I did and it's eitha tha 3rd or 4th time!!!! _ So then, R/R and NO FLAMES! Fah real! - DarkxKukixSanban

================================ ===================================== At the Forest...
"Now we're gonna kno who ya really are!" Number 4 crowed when he got the shooter by...raven black hair?
"Huh? Wait a minute..." Number 1 said. He then pulled the hood off of the shooter...revealing a pissed off Ayumi.
"ONEE-SAN?!" Sumi yelped. Ayumi jumped back and aimed her hand at the KND.
"You come closer, you'll die!" Ayumi snapped. As she said this, her eyes were also red, really creeping out the KND.
"Wha tha crud...why's her eyes red?!" Number 4 asked in a startling tone.
"Right around here, I remember that to tell if someone is in a weird trance or controlled, their eyes turned red, but not bloody red, for those who are actually..." Number 5 said.

"Whadda bloody hell ar' ya doing?!" Number 4 snapped.
"What do YOU think?! Let ME GO!" Number 274 shot back.
"There's NOTHING we can do now! She's gone..." Number 5 murmured as she let her head bow down. However, she realizes that their was suppose to be a sickening sound of dead body. But there isn't any.
"Wait a minute..."Number 1 said. He also realizes it too. "Something's not right..." Everyone dared to look up from their hiding spot, and found a seething Ayumi.
"NANI?! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE! NOT DISAPPEAR!" Ayumi screamed in frustration. A huge leaf that no one noticed unwrapped and in there is a well Sumi and Number 3.
"Numbuh 3!" Number 5 yelled. Number 3 just nodded and stood in front of Sumi for protection as the mad Ayumi came closer again.
"Ah, Master says that someone who looks like you...is also suppose to end up like Sumi", Ayumi said in a controlled calm tone as she takes a needle (a LONG one) out behind her robes, instead of loading it to her weapon. "And her name is, Miko Kuki Sanban?"
"That's Numbuh 3 to you!" The Asian girl corrected her sarcastically as she got out her bow.

"Ai! Kuki-chan looks injured!" The naïve Sumi thought as she watches her friend against her sister.
"Sumi! Do something! Try to get your sister back!" Number 1 called to her.
"But what if I did it wrong??? I'm scared! =(" Sumi cried out loud.
"You won't! You did it ta Numbuh 1, so it might work again!" Number 5 assured her. Sumi then took out her scepter, now determined to stop this.
Meanwhile, Number 3 limped as she felt the needles past by her and her kimono. Several have already past through her clothing, but she got lucky that none of the poison stuck onto her. At least not until yet.

She didn't scream nor did she do anything, as her body floated up in the air, the elements of the white magic purifying her back to her true self. When the process was finished, Ayumi falls to the floor unconscious, and Number 274 caught her just on time.

"Kuki-chan! Let me help you up!" Sumi said. The little girl struggled to lift up the teen, and nearly tipped over when Number 3 was finally standing up.
"Ah'll take it frum here, Sumi", Number 4 told the girl. Sumi said ok and walked ahead, wanting to see her sister, as Number 4 helped Number 3 put most of her support on his hands.

"C'mon, we gotta get goin' n then find Numbuh 2!" Number 5 said as they started to walk along. Number 3's sense kicked in, and she yelled, "WATCH OUT! RUN TO THE LEFT!" Everyone obeyed, and a huge green laser beam shot out at the ground, disintegrating a bush.
"AGAIN?!" Number 5 groaned when she looked up to see where it came from. Sumi was too tired to even do this, and now she was getting angry because she was VERY tired.
"AIYA! I ONLY WANT A BREAK! NOT A BATTLE! SO GO AWAY!" Sumi yelled in anger, and swings her scepter down, scaring the crap outta everyone when they saw the size of her beam (it's as long as the Empire State Building). A yell responded to the beam, and then a thump can be heard when the thing falls to the ground. Everyone looked at each other, surprised that Sumi actually hit someone without looking, and then ran to the direction of the yell. When Number 1 parted the bush, an unconscious Number 2 lay still on the ground.
"NUMBUH 2!" Everyone said at the same time and went to him.
"It's best not to wake him up! We gotta get outta here and think of a plan!" Number 1 said. He beckoned the others to help lift up the doofus to his feet and walk him back to the hut. As the KND trudged along, tired but happy, a pair of angry eyes were glaring after them in the darkness before it disappears.
"Watch out, Kids Next Door. Your lives end here!" The familiar voices droned out loud before it ended with a hiss.
================================= ===========================

"Aww...Wallabee looks so cute ^-^ I would have brought my camera along, so that I can kinda blackmail him!" She thought again. When her finger hits the play button, Linkin Park's "Easier To Run" rings in her ears.
"It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played..."
"it's Number 4's CD! Meteora!" Number 3 thought as she listened to the song. "But there's something familiar about this... besides the fact that he's a huge fan of them."
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Suddenly, pictures of Wallabee flashed in Number 3's mind, now bringing her senses back to memory.
"Of course! Number 4 told me that this song reminded him of his life!" Number 3 thought. She can still feel it: Number 4 and his dad's arguments, his wondering about his mother, the changes around them, the time when KND nearly broke up... even her own memories.
"It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a path..."
"No wonder Number 4 likes this band a lot", Number 3 thought as she let herself now getting into the rhythm of the rock band's music and the words about life. "It's like his Bible or something like it..."
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
As Number 3 listened, she felt her eyes getting blurrier and blurrier. She felt herself lying into Number 4's shoulders; not knowing that she has woke him up. Before sleeping, her hands were around a blanket that she took up with her.
"Just watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler to change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone..."
Number 4 was about to object to Number 3 about his CD player, but saw her sleeping instead. He checked the number, and realizes that it was the song that he kept listening to back then, when he got the CD. Despite it all, he can still remember himself explaining to Number 3 why he like that song so much.
**FLASHBACK**
"Number 4! Can you turn THAT down?! I'm sick of listening to Linkin Park!' Number 3 yelled at the stairs. "I'm tryin' ta feed the hamsters!"
"Feed 'em sumwhere!" Number 4 called down and turns the volume up higher. Number 3 growled and went upstairs, ready to ramble on Number 4. This song from the Linkin Park CD (METEORA) he bought is driving her crazy and this has got to stop! When Number 3 made it, she stomps over to the boom box and presses the OFF button.
"Whadda bloody hell?! Ah was listenin ta tha!" Number 4 snarled.
"Ya, you were listening to the same song for TOO FRIGGIN LONG!" Number 3 yelled at him. "Can't you listen to something else different?! It's driving me crazy!"
"One girl's opinion!" Number 4 retorted. "An' besides, Ah can tell you why I like this song enough ta repeat it! Cuz of Dad and every single shiz from everyone else!"
"Oh? What do you mean EVERYONE else?!" Number 3 shot at him.
"I don't mean you, Number 3. Jus' tha' Dad is givin me shit today, n...FORGET IT! YOU JUST WON'T UNDERSTAND!" Number 4 said defensively. Number 3 was taking a peek at the lyrics at the same time, and when there was the one that said, "The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see", she asked, "What's the secrets?" Number 4 yelled in frustration, and said, "GET OUT!"
"Jeez, don't need ta be rude!" Number 3 said as she slammed the door behind her. Number 4 sighed and then resumes back to playing the song.
"You and everything in family are the secrets..." Number 4 thought before he lost himself in the music.
**END FLASHBACK**
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Number 4 smiled a little both of sadness and confusion at his memory. He then looks at the calm and serene Number 3 before realizing that he himself was sleepy too. He also fell asleep, having the girl of his dreams in his arms, sleeping in the blanket that he wrapped around both Number 3 and himself. They were yet to see what happen soon...when both the Kolans and the brainwashed children battles again.
=============================== ================================
Don't get the wrong idea of why I put in Linkin Park. I really love em, and besides, I wanna put in a different theme that is more like the style that I like it to be in this fic. So then, there may be a prequel to this, but it might not be like what I wrote in this story. Yea, at least whatever you all read in this have some things that will be in the prequel. Well, yea, there'll be a little bit of romance, but not as much as this one xD. And that reminds me... once im done with this, maybe a sequel for this? O well, that may come later when we see how things are like. Anyways, hope you don't get confused with this chapter: once again, I did and it's eitha tha 3rd or 4th time!!!! _ So then, R/R and NO FLAMES! Fah real! - DarkxKukixSanban
