The Wing Goddess: chapter 18
Kari's Point of View
It's good to be home, that's all I can say. I couldn't even remember my room before but now, I don't want to leave.
"Mom!" I exclaimed as I ran into her arms welcoming her warm embrace.
"I missed you so much Mom!" I added, I didn't realize it but I almost cried I was so happy to see her safe. When I saw my brother I couldn't take it anymore I just ran up to him, tears streaming from my eyes, and hugged him harder then I had ever in my life. He looked quite surprised at my reaction, the most interaction that showed any kind of love we had been was a smile or something of that level. We were close we just never showed it like some other siblings did. I wiped my eyes quickly and stepped back, I think what I did was shock enough for him; I didn't think he needed anymore.
"Sorry, it's just I've missed you so much and it's been so long." I apologized. It was partially that but mostly that they were safe and alive after all of the nightmares I had been having. My brother looked strangely at Koenma and that paternal streak he had came back. Being without a father, my brother seemed to fill the gap when it was needed for me, and now he felt like he needed to protect me again.
"Oh. Everyone this is a friend from Japan. Koenma this is my brother Scott, and my mother." I introduced in an effort to ease my brother's instincts.
"It's a pleasure." My mother answered
"Hey." Was all that my brother managed, he was obviously still on edge.
"It's nice to meet you as well, Scott, Mrs. Yuramora. I can see where your daughter gets her good looks." He replied. Well easy enough to say he already had my mother down the hatch.
"Oh please you don't have to say such things. Would anyone like something to drink?" my mother asked as my brother glared at Koenma telling him to watch it.
"Any orange juice mom?" I asked trying to ease the tension.
"I'll have a coke." My brother added, my mother turned to Koenma and he declined as she disappeared into the kitchen.
"Scott! Stop embarrassing me!" I whined so that only he could hear. He laughed.
"Please?" I added with my little puppy dog face.
"You're so sensitive." He replied
"Am not!" I retorted, he laughed again.
"Stop laughing at me!" I exclaimed. He only shook his head and continued to laugh.
"Are you listening to me? Hello?!" I called, but he ignored me. I couldn't see but Koenma was laughing a little as well from where he stood behind me.
"MOM! Scott's laughing at me!!!" I yelled
"Kari! Just ignore him!" She yelled from the kitchen. I looked at him then I turned my back towards him, plopped on the floor and pouted like a little child. I guess you could say that I missed the times like that so that's why I acted that way. He ruffled the top of my head and smiled down at me.
"Man you can be so childish sometimes Kari." He said
"Oh don't rub it in." I grumbled from below. I could hear Koenma laughing to himself on the other side of the room as my mother came out with the drinks. It was one of those moments that showed how much we really cared about each other, my brother and I, even if it didn't look that way on the surface.
"Thanks mom." I said as I stood to my feet and took the glass from her. I forgot how thirsty I was and downed the orange juice in one big sip. I set the glass down and grabbed Koenma by the arm.
"We'll be upstairs mom! I gotta call Laura and everyone!" I exclaimed and dragged him up the stairs to my room. I opened the door and quickly shut it.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"Just a minute stay out here ok?" I requested and he replied with a nod. I snuck into my room and shut the door behind me. I forgot how messy it was, and I forgot about all of the posters on my walls of guys like Bam Margera, and bands like Good Charlotte and CKY. And then there was the floor. I forgot about how I left it that night, clothes scattered, bed unmade, books everywhere. I did my best to stuff my clothes in my hamper but they overflowed so I put them and the hamper in my closet. I then gathered my books and stacked them and made my bed. I was about to start taking down the posters when Koenma came in. I guess he got impatient, or he just figured that he didn't care how the room would look.
"Sorry bout the mess….eh…forgot to clean before I left…" I replied nervously
"Its ok really. So uh who are all the people on your walls?" he asked curiously as he took a seat on my bed. I stood up and started on one side of the room and began pointing to the posters explaining who everyone was.
"Well this is Bam Margera, he kicks ass, and he's so fucking hott! And over here that's Ashton Kutcher, I love him to death, not as much as Bam but he's up there. Ooo and that's Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte, and that's Shane West. I can't believe I almost forgot Brandon Boyd from Incubus! Oh my gosh! And then this is…" I trailed off and started blushing.
"Eh sorry…."
"Its…ok…"
"Ok well this is Michelle Branch, and Vanessa Carlton, Good Charlotte, CKY, awesome band I might add, John Mayer, my idol, Reese Witherspoon, she's soo cool." I continued on more calmly this time but then stopped at one picture. It was my family, all of us when my dad was still alive. I started to choke up a bit but continued anyways.
"This is the last picture of my family together before my dad died in a car accident when I was little. I miss him a lot…." I explained as I started to cry a bit.
"But I try….not to let it bother me….because he wouldn't want me to mourn all the time." I said as I wiped my tears from my eyes in an effort to stop from crying.
"Sorry, didn't mean to get all soft. Lets go see my friends. You remember them don't you?" I asked quickly trying to change the subject. He nodded and we headed out.
It was windy as the wind whipped at me causing my hair to slap at my face. It hurt at first but I soon grew used to it, just like after when you're in preschool as a kid you grow immune to all those germs floating around. I watched as some leaves blew past me in a swirling gust, their colors that of golds, reds, and oranges. I forgot how pretty fall was around here and I sighed trying to relax, but I just couldn't. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that something bad was going to happen. Koenma looked at me and said,
"Are you ok? You looked bothered."
"I'm ok, just a little cold but that's all. We're almost there anyways." I replied as I continued to walk. I tried to act ok and it seemed to work but somewhere deep down inside of me I knew that something wasn't right as I approached the door of Seyla's house. I rang the door bell and stepped back a few feet. Seyla's mother opened the door and welcomed us.
"Is Seyla home?" I inquired as she let us in. She looked down and shook her head. Immediately I knew something was wrong.
"Did something happen?" I asked nervously.
"She's in the hospital if you want to see her." She replied. I wanted to ask what happened but then decided against it.
"Do you know the room number?" I asked. She nodded and fetched a piece of paper with the number and floor scratched on it.
"Thank you, I hope she gets better." I answered politely. We excused ourselves quietly and headed back in to the windy cold that was fall in New England. I refused to look at Koenma, I didn't want him to see the worry and fear on my face especially if it was anything like what I had experienced the other night in my dreams, or earlier today in the bath tub. Actually I was too embarrassed to admit that I was scared, especially after how much I had made a fool of myself already. We walked in silence to the hospital, every once in a while one of us starting to speak up but then never finishing our sentences. When we arrived at the hospital to Seyla's room she looked a little bruised. I walked up to her, trying not to cry and said hello. She seemed surprised to see me.
"Kari why are you here?" She asked
"To see you silly, did you think I forgot about you?" I replied still holding back tears. She shook her head.
"What happened to you?" I asked with a concerned tone. I had noticed that Koenma had excused himself leaving Seyla and myself alone in the room.
"I doubt you'll believe me, no one ever does, but something attacked me in my sleep. I couldn't see it but it was there. Has that ever happened to you?" She explained. I nodded remembering the bath tub incident earlier this morning.
"Were you hurt badly?" I asked
"Well I got a concussion, some gashes, and some bruises. It was like someone cut into me with a knife, but I can't remember much now." She added showing me one of the gashes on her arm.
"Everyone thought I was crazy when I said it but I really thought it was something like a demon. You know how they say that they attack you in your sleep and all." She said
"I believe you Seyla, and I promise I won't let anything else happen to you." I cried.
"Thanks Kari." She replied. I looked at my watch, it was getting late and I should've been home by then.
"I should really get going, I wish I could stay but….my mother will get worried. I promise I'll help you Seyla." I said.
"I know you will Kari, thanks. See you soon." Seyla answered. I turned and Koenma was waiting. We exited and headed for my house.
Scott's Point of View:
Kari came back late with that Koenma guy last night. I don't like him, heck I don't like any guy she brings home, well actually that Yusuke kid who was by the other day wasn't too bad but that's beside the point. I don't care if he's just a friend I don't like him being around my sister. Its just weird, I'm not used to it I guess. I sighed as I fell back on my bed, I didn't come home too much but this weekend was an exception, Kari coming home from Japan and all. I think the whole Kari going to Japan thing stressed mom out. She's not used to being alone, especially with dad dead and all. I think that maybe Kari shouldn't go back to Japan and leave mom like this. Its not fair to her. I glanced at my clock as I let these thoughts run through my head. We both left tomorrow and mom would be alone again, and Kari would be alone with that Koenma guy. I cringed as I thought of his name. He just seemed too perfect, the way he was all polite and all. I'd rather her be with that Yusuke kid, wait no I'd rather her be with no one at all and stay home with mom. I couldn't get my mind off of how much I didn't like the guy but Kari sure could as I heard a cry come from downstairs on the couch where she slept tonight. I instinctively jumped up and ran to see if she was ok.
"Kari are you ok?" I asked
"I...it was just a bad dream that's all. I'll be ok." She said, somehow I didn't believe her, like she was hiding something from me, but I decided not to dig any deeper at the moment.
"Ok, if you need anything come get me." I replied returning her smile and she nodded. As I walked away I could only think of how much I didn't trust this Koenma guy. She only had bad dreams after our dad died and now, after she met this guy. She obviously wasn't telling me something, neither of them were. I didn't care though; I'd have to find out on my own.
Kari's Point of View
I waited for my brother to leave and then quietly raced up to my room where Koenma was sleeping for the night. I flung the door open and then caught it before it hit the wall and woke my brother. I shut it more quietly, surprised that it didn't wake Koenma. I went and shook him a little harshly for what was needed to wake him and waited for his response.
"Wha? What is it this time Kari?" he asked a little annoyed at the fact of being woken up. I was in hysterics talking a mile a minute and everything I said came out as inaudible because of it.
"Slow down." He mumbled
"I can't! I can't! I can't!" I exclaimed quietly tears starting to pour from my eyes. He gripped my arms tightly and held me like that to get my attention.
"Slow down. S-L-O-W D-O-W-N." he said spelling it out. I stopped and took a few breaths.
"Now what happened?" he asked loosening his grip and letting go of my arms.
"There isn't much time…." I started.
Authoress' note: Ok this one I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, I think I wrote it and deleted it, then rewrote it like 5 times before I was somewhat satisfied. It just seemed to be missing something but that's my opinion. What do you think? Poll question! What was your favorite chapter so far???? Review with your answer!
