Rimnerel: Okay, everyone. The next chapter of Oleander Summer is out for your reading entertainment.
Tala: So?
Rimnerel: What are you mad about now?
Tala: I read the chapter already.
Rimnerel: Well don't spoil it for everyone else. I want to thank everyone for reading it, and B. Tiamat Atardecer for the original idea for this chapter. Even though you didn't know when I was going to use it, I decided to use your idea for this chapter's basis. I hope everyone enjoys it. On a note, anything withing the "{ }" symbols will stand for like the instant message text when Kenny's online.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny sat at the table in his temporary bedroom for the summer typing on his laptop, which had finally charged up some time ago. Outside, the day was quickly becoming night. The sky a soft purple and red, the sun dipping low behind the trees. The heat of the day lingered, but was drastically different from what it felt like during the mid day. Kenny had his hair pulled back into a ponytail, the loose strands of his hair slipped past his cheek every time he tilted his head or moved. Occasionally a hand would push at the long burnt sienna colored bangs absently before continuing to type.
Currently he was updating his online journal. The subject of the day was his horrendous trip from the city to where he sat right now. Just as he was finishing up, one of the screen names in his IM box popped on. A message box appeared on the screen, with the screen name White_Tiger_7, which was Rei. Clicking on the box, he read the message. {What's up Kenny? How did the trip go?}
{Hi Rei. What are you doing?} Kenny typed and sent. Waiting, a message appeared.
{Sitting around listening to Kain whine about how his blade's attack ring is damaged. He got into another fight with Michael. He says he wished you were here so you could fix it.} Rei sent back.
"Typical of him. But I wish I was there," Kenny said out loud. Typing, Kenny sent back a message. {So do I.}
{Trip that bad?}
{I discovered that I'm air sick.}
{Really? Sorry to hear that. You better now?}
{Yeah. But that's not the worst part. It was a five hour drive here. My laptop died half of the way into town and I was about to go crazy with boredom.} Kenny typed and sent to his friend. A minute later Rei sent a message back.
{Must have been boring with nothing to do. Sorry you had to suffer.}
{Oh, that's not the top of the cake. You won't believe what happened once my laptop broke died on me. Our car got a flat tire.)
{Poor you. Father tried to get you to help change it?} Rei wrote back. Kenny could almost see his friend's sympathetic smile. Rei had never chimed Kenny in all the years they had known each other about doing or learning new things. Saying to everyone that pestered him about his friend's lack of skills other than computers, that if Kenny wanted to learn a new trade then he would when he felt it best to. And while he didn't, to leave him alone about it.
{Yeah. But then this guy helped out. He was sitting in this tree like the weather was nothing to him.} Kenny wrote, thinking about that male with the indistinct eyes. There had been something about him. Something Kenny could not put his finger on. {There was something about him. Something in his eyes that seemed strange.}
{Strange? How?}
{I'm not sure, but it was like he...I don't know how exactly to put it. You would have to see it yourself to understand what I'm talking about.} Kenny sent to his friend.
{Maybe if you see him again, you can show me a picture by email. Packed your digital camera or web cam?} Rei sent back to Kenny.
{Don't I always? But I doubt I'll see him again.}
"Hey Chief, what are you doing?" Tyson popped up behind Kenny, startling the young man. Shifting his head to his blue haired cousin, the male gave the 'don't-ever-do-that-again' stare.
"What is it Tyson?" Kenny remarked.
"Oh, I was just wondering what you were doing. Ian and I were downstairs playing video games. I brought my system from home with me. Wanna come join us? It's a four person shooter," Tyson said.
"No, I'm talking with Rei," Kenny said. Not trying to be mean, but sit in the same room with him and Ian? Tyson really didn't consider how illogical it was to put all three of them together in the same room.
"You're instant messaging Rei? Tell him I said hi," Tyson grinned. For some reason when those two got together it was as if they had been friends long before Kenny met the Chinese male. Maybe it was because of the fact they were once country boys. Who knew exactly.
{Tyson told me to tell you hello, Rei.} Kenny typed, then sent to his best friend. He got an immediate reply out of his friend.
{Tell him I said hi. And that I don't want him to run you up a wall while you guys are there for the summer. ^ ^}
{I'm not going to let him nor Ian nor Emily drive me up a wall. I will kill them long before that happens.}
{Ian's there too? Man, you got the worst luck. Well, don't kill him. I have to go. Kain's continuing to beg me to go with him to check out some new attack rings for his blade. He told me to tell you to go outside and do something and don't sit in the house on your laptop all day long. And that when you get back you better not be a virgin still.}
{Um...yeah. That's Kain for you. Well, later then Rei.} He watched Rei log out of his IM box. So now what was he going to do? He finished up his entry for the day, so what now to keep bored from gnawing at him?
"Come on, let's go now," Tyson said, pulling on Kenny's shirt as the young man clicked out of his IM box and shut his laptop down to recharge. "I'm not going to let you spend all summer in front of a computer screen. Kain is right. You should get out and live a little. Now come on."
"Tyson--" Kenny started.
"Tyson, who are you talking to?" A girl with sienna colored hair to her shoulders appeared in the doorway. Shifting her eyes from Tyson, she let them rest on Kenny. Shock filled her eyes immediately. "Well, I haven't seen you in a while. Nice of you to join us for the summer this year. If I had known that you were here when I came home, I would have immediately came up and said hello to you. How have you been Kenny?"
"Hello Emily." Yes, this glasses wearing, blue eyed girl was his cousin Emily who was four months younger than him and a month and a half older than Tyson. The same one that had been a pain in the ass when they were ten years old.
"Hey, don't tell me that you're still holding a grudge from when we were ten," Emily said, noting the dry tone in his voice. "We haven't seen each other in almost five years. Come on and let's settle that nasty little note of the past. How about it?" Emily walked over to Kenny, holding out her hand to him. "Truce?"
"I'm not holding a grudge." To prove his point, the male shook her hand. The young girl smiled at him. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad here after all. The bratty little Emily he remembered seemed to have faded as she got older. If things could stick on this level, their coexistence would be so much easier.
"All right then! Not that we're squared away, how about I take you out later and showed you around?" Emily said. "Us country folks aren't as simple and primative as you would think. Tyson and I are going to take you out to a rave tonight after our folks go to sleep. Show you how to have some fun." (A/N: Yes, there are raves in the country, not as big as a city one would be, but pretty okay. And this place isn't as backwater as Kenny makes it seem. It's pretty decent enough.)
"A rave?" Kenny rose a brow. "What's a rave?"
"You can't be joking me. You don't know what a rave is, seriously?" Emily blinked at her cousin.
"Why do you think I asked?" Kenny said.
"A rave is a huge party with techno music and you go there and dance all night long and stuff," came a voice from the doorway. All three heads turned to find a short boy with dark navy hair standing in the doorway. His red eyes focused on Kenny with half amusement and half mockery. "I knew you were lame, but not that lame!"
"Ian! Be quiet," Emily remarked to the boy. "Go back downstairs and finish playing video games or something. We're trying to discuss important things here."
"But I don't want to. I want to go to a rave! Why take him and not me! He's like ultra lame!" Ian pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. Kenny felt the urge to choke the life out of his younger cousin at that moment. And to think he would have to be bunked with the male the entire summer. Two whole months of Ian.
"The reason you can't come is because you're still a little kid," Tyson said with a wicked smile. Ian turned to look at his other older cousin, a dark flush of anger on his cheeks. "Now go downstairs and play before I have to hurt you. And if you tell what we're planning I'm going to make your time here hell. Understand me, twerp."
Ian pouted again, before turning around and stomping his way back downstairs. Luckily all of their parents were out in the backyard barbecuing dinner. Kenny was surprised Tyson had that much control over the boy as he did. Well, maybe it was because they spent so much time togther, living quite close to each other caused them to obtain a sibling sort of relationship.
"All right, so that's settled. We're going out tonight," Emily said. "We'll wait until 12 when it's quiet. The rave should start about one, and it should take us about 45 minutes to make it to that part of town. It would be faster to take a car, but since it would a risk taking someone's car, we'll have to walk."
"Why do I have a feeling that you've done this before?" Kenny voiced. Emily turned a mischievous eye to her cousin. A huge grin forming.
"Who says I was the perfect angel. Living around here, you have to live once in a while, or you'll turn out like all these old people around here," Emily stated.
"Emily may be smart, but she knows how to have fun too," Tyson added. "There have been plenty of times that we've gone out after dark. So it's nothing new."
"Tyson would be like you if I didn't kick him into gear. He has the simplest thoughts. Food, games, comics, and sleep," Emily laughed. Tyson looked at her with wide eyes.
"What are you talking about? You forgot to add in the girls!" Tyson exclaimed.
"What girls? There hasn't been a girl I know that's been after you. Now Kenny will probably be another story. He's smart and cute, so now you have competition," Emily stated.
"What! Oh come on! What about your best friend Mariah? She wanted me at one time. But then Johnny had to step in and try to go out with her. Then she just blew us both off," Tyson corrected his cousin.
"Exactly, no interest in you at all!" For a few minutes, Kenny sat back and listened to the two argue about who wanted who and what not. Listening to them, he started to wonder if going out with them late at night was such a good idea. Well, there was only one way to find out for sure. And that would be to head out with them to the rave thing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny stood near a corner of the building that was tucked away nicely from the little colonial houses. The walk had been halfway on the road and half of the way through trees until they came to a quiet part of town that housed a few bars and other more adult places. Emily told Kenny that a lot of the kids in town hung out here at night. Since the place had been partically abandoned some time ago, the kids in town turned it into a night hang out. No one bothered them, as long as no fights broke out in the area.
He watched his cousins have the time of their lives. Around him different colored lights flashed. The music pulsed off the walls of the building. Kenny ran a hand through his hair, continuing to watch Tyson dance extremely close to girl with long pink hair down to her back. She wore a white half top that said angel and a pair of pink jeans to match her hair. Emily was talking with some guy with wild dark red hair not too far away from him.
So this was what a rave was. Well...it was okay. If he was into techno, dancing, and the strobe lights, it would be his scene, but he wasn't and it was boring as hell. With a sigh, he studied Tyson who was leaning in closer to dance with the pink girl. This one had to be Mariah by how much interest he seemed to be putting into her. Honestly, Kenny didn't know what his cousin saw in her. Sure she seemed cute, but all that pink and white was annoying to stare at. He seriously hoped her closet contained other colors besides pink.
"Hey! You new around here aren't you?" A girl with long brown hair walked up to Kenny, a look of interest in her eyes.
"Um...kind of," Kenny said.
"You look new. I come to these raves a lot, so I was shocked to see a new face. So, you here with anyone?" The girl stood close to him, continuing to study him. Kenny was becoming uncomfortable by how close the girl was to him.
"I came with my cousins," Kenny replied, pointing to Tyson and Emily.
"Oh! Wow! I never knew that Em has such a cute cousin," the girl grinned. "My name's Jordan. What's yours?"
"Kenny."
"Kenny," she repeated. "Cute name. Wanna dance Kenny? You look like you need to move around some, but just haven't found the right dancing partner."
"Um, no. Thanks for the offer. I don't dance," Kenny said. "I just came cause my cousins dragged me out. I have two left feet." The girl named Jordan laughed, or rather let out an annoying giggle as she slipped closer to Kenny.
"How about we go somewhere and talk then?" Before Kenny could say no, the girl slipped her hand into Kenny's pulling him away from the wall. Tyson grinned at him as he watched the scene. Kenny gave his cousin a pleading look for help before being pulled outside the rave party into the night air. "It's a lot quieter out here, don't you think Kenny?"
"Um, yeah." He wondered when she would let his hand go. For starters, they had just met. Secondly, he wasn't into her like that. And doubted he would ever be. "Um...Jordan..."
"Kenny, do you like me?" she suddenly asked.
"Um...you're an all right person, from what I've gathered within the three minutes that I've known you," Kenny said, putting heavy emphasis on the three minutes. How could she possibly like him when they haven't known each other for ten minutes yet? Why did he get the strange chick?
"I believe we're soul mates. I felt it when I first laid eyes on you. You can't tell me that you didn't feel it? You just had to have. Oh Kenny...I want you to kiss me." Jordan tried to throw herself into Kenny's arms, but he quickly stepped to the side. Pulling his hand out of hers, he sighed. This chick was crazy.
"Um...Jordan. You have to hang on. I have to go...um...I have to go pee, okay. You stay right there and wait for me. And when I get back, I'll kiss you all you want," Kenny said, easing away from the girl.
"Okay! But hurry back!" Kenny didn't feel as bad about ditching her as he thought. Actually it was easier as he made his way to a group of trees and ducking into them. With a silent sigh the young man made his way around in the dark through the trees and bushes. Why the hell were there so many damn trees? After walking around in the woods for a while, the young man finally came out into a clearing. Which happened to be a huge grassy plain or field. It was hard to tell in the middle of night. Okay, thing was now...he was lost. He had no clue in hell where exactly he was. Or precisely how far he had gone.
"Maybe I should go back," he said to himself.
Just as Kenny was about to turn back, a hand covered his mouth. An arm wrapped around his chest, pinning his arms to his sides. Struggling, he found he could not break free from the person's hold. He started to panick, struggling more, but found he still could not get free. He was in deep trouble now. What was about to happen to him?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rimnerel: Good question! What is about to happen to him?
Tala: Evil wench. What's going to happen to my Kenny?
Kai: Still, when did he become your Kenny? (smirks) He was mine before yours.
Tala: Wait! (glares at Rim) What is Hiwatari talking about? Explain!
Rimnerel: Well...look at the time. Okay everyone, the next chapter comes out Monday. I should have everything squared away then. So until then, keep the opinions, comments, and suggestions coming in. Until Monday gang!
Tala: So?
Rimnerel: What are you mad about now?
Tala: I read the chapter already.
Rimnerel: Well don't spoil it for everyone else. I want to thank everyone for reading it, and B. Tiamat Atardecer for the original idea for this chapter.

He started to panick, struggling more, but found he still could not get free. He was in deep trouble now. What was about to happen to him?

Rimnerel: Good question! What is about to happen to him?
Tala: Evil wench. What's going to happen to my Kenny?
Kai: Still, when did he become your Kenny? (smirks) He was mine before yours.
Tala: Wait! (glares at Rim) What is Hiwatari talking about? Explain!
Rimnerel: Well...look at the time. Okay everyone, the next chapter comes out Monday. I should have everything squared away then. So until then, keep the opinions, comments, and suggestions coming in. Until Monday gang!
