Chapter 1: Alex's world
(A/N: Me (Katie) and my friend, Alex wrote this together. As you may have guessed, none of the HP characters belong to us. Most of the Cats Characters don't either. Alex doesn't own YuGiOh!, Ruruoni Kenshin or Inuyasha! Although she wishes that she did...)
Chapter one: Alex's world
Katie and Alex were having a sleep over. They had finished watching TV after Cats, Cartoons and both Harry Potter films. "Ok, now what" Katie said. "We've watched everything"
"Well" Alex said. "We could prank call our friends?"
"After what happened last time?"
"Ok...maybe not...hmm". Katie started staring into space. Of course Alex would not stand for it "Yo! Kate! Wake up girl!" she snapped. Katie jumped back into reality "I'm fine I'm fine!" she cried. "I was just thinking"
"You're always thinking." Alex lay back on her pillow. "Hmm...Hey did I show you my new drawings?"
"No. Can I see?"
"Of course" She went to get her sketch pad out of her backpack. "Ok..." Alex flipped through the pages till she found her newest drawing. "Ah here it is. Here is Kanon...that's Kenshin right there."
"Hey that's good!"
"Not really..."
"Yes they are! Don't be a dope!" Looks at the drawing "Hey whose that?"
"Who?" Looks at her confused.
"That..."points to the paper "that right there."
"Oh..." Alex finally saw what Katie what talking about but just stared at her drawing.
"That's funny..."
"What is?" Alex was silent for a minute. Then she said "I...I don't remember drawing that..."
"Really?" Looks at the Character "Well...uh...hmm. Well it's good."
"Yeah..." As Alex started to zone out. Kate got up. "I'm getting some coco. Want some?"
"No thanks."
"Ok. I'll be back" Katie went off to the kitchen, humming "Mr. Mistofeleese" from Cats. Lost in her thoughts Alex fell asleep. When Katie returned to her room to find Alex asleep, she thought it best not to disturb her friend.
She quietly went to her computer. She decided that now was a good time to work on her creative writing assignment. She was writing a short story about an imaginary world. A world with characters and friends that were as dear to her as her friends in reality.
Despite the caffeine in the hot chocolate, Katie felt herself becoming quite drowsy. Tried as she might to stay awake, the welcoming darkness of sleep had taken over....
Katie awoke to the smell of fresh cool air. Not opening her eyes she sat up. Then she flinched and wrapped her arms around herself. Looking at herself she saw that she was wearing what looked like what one would wear at the Renaissance fair. A long full skirt, plain brown bodice and a cream peasant blouse. Then Katie looked about her and found herself in strange surroundings.
Then she saw a figure of a young woman walking towards her. She had come a few feet to where Katie was sitting when she spoke "Excuse me but why...Kate?!?" Katie looked closer at this girl. Then she knew "Alex?"
"Kate! What in the world are you doing here?" It WAS Alex! But she looked so different. Her beautiful long dark hair was now short and spunky. Her hair do was a little on the wilder side then it normally was. Her eyes her strangely larger, they looked a little like the eyes from Egyptian hieroglyphics. Katie could see a scar running down her left eye.
"Al-Alex...where are we?" Katie asked while getting to her feet.
"Well...Japan."
"Japan?!"
"Well yes. This is my world I guess you could say. Well since you're here I might as well bring you along. Come on." She started walking in the direction she came from. Katie, not knowing what else to do just fallowed. They came you a Gate. Alex took a breath. "Ok, here we go..."
They both stepped into a beautiful Japanese courtyard. Katie was wild eyed. She never saw anything like it. She saw a man with red hair washing clothes in the corner. Alex called out to the man "Yo Kenshin!" The man looked up with a friendly smile, and he spoke "Good afternoon, Miss Kanon. For a moment there, I thought you were Sano that I did." Katie looked to Alex "Kanon?" she whispered to her. Alex looked quickly from Kenshin to Katie. "That's what they call me here. Best you call me that too." So now Alex had become Kanon. Katie's attention now turned back to Kenshin she felt herself becoming rather shy. Kanon as she seemed to be called here had sensed her uneasiness. "Don't be shy" she said to her "he's really nice! Say hello!" Katie gave the man a smile "Hello". "Hello" he returned "I think I ever met you before. I'm Kenshin Himura." He bowed in greeting. Kanon nudged Katie "Bow back and introduce yourself. It's how people say hello." Katie did as she was told and bowed "My name is Kate"
"I am pleased to meet you, Miss Kate."
"Hey Kenshin" Kanon said "You haven't seen Sano around have you?" Kenshin was about to answer her question when a tall man came walking up. He was a rather hansom man. Kanon whispered to Kate "That's Sano".
"Hey, you're back!" Said Sano "How was Kyoto?" Kate thought 'Kyoto? Where have I heard that before?' Luckily Kanon had the answer for her "That's a town a few miles from Tokyo, where we are now." Kanon said. Kate nodded. She had a friend back home who was Japanese. Everything was making sense to her now. Sano finally noticed Kate standing there next to Kanon. "Who is this?" Kanon thought fast "Um...This is an old friend I found in Kyoto, she's a painter." She turned back to Kate "Don't bother bowing to him." Sano walked up to Kate to introduce himself.
"Hi I'm Sano." He said
"I'm Kate" she said simply. Sano looked at her strangely "Weird name"
"SANO!" Kanon yelled bring her fist down on Sano's head. Kate all the while was trying not to laugh. Apparently this Sano guy is used to saying whatever he pleases, but Kanon will not let him insult her friends. After leaving a good lump on Sano's head Kanon turned back to Kate. "I'm sorry about that, Kate."
"Hey it's no problem."
"Sano needs to work on his manners, don't you Sano?!" Afraid that he was going to be pummeled again, Sano ran off. Kate just watched him run. "Is he always like that?"
"Sadly, yes. And to think he's 19 years old." Then Kenshin spoke up "What was that all about, Miss Kanon?" Kate stifled a giggle. Kanon said "Oh, Sano was being rude again. What is with that guy?" "I'm not sure, that I'm not" Kenshin shook his head "But thank you for chasing him away, Miss Kanon."
"I didn't chase him, he ran"
"And very fast I might add" Kate observed.
"Oh well" Kenshin went back to work with the laundry. Just when the to girls thought that things couldn't get anymore odd, a kid walked by and yelled "Hey Ugly!!!!" of course Kanon wasn't about to let this boy get away with it. "Come here and say that Yahiko!!" she yelled back at him.
"Why?" he asked. Kate while Kate was watching she thought aloud "Hmm...doesn't sound like a kid I would want to baby-sit." Kanon heard and agreed "He's always like that, the little-"
"WHAT did you SAY????" The boy yelled.
"Uh-oh..." Kanon never answered Yahiko's question. "Kate...?"
"Yeah...?"
"Run...." At that Kate Kanon broke into a run, with Yahiko chasing after them. "I'm gunna make you eat those words, Kanon!" He shouted as he struggles to keep up with them. Kate was starting to run out of steam when she shouted "Is there anywhere to run to?!" She didn't get a reply Kanon just shouted out for Kenshin to come help. Kenshin came running and caught the little kid before he could do any damage.
He grabbed Yahiko by his collar turned him over his knee and gives his behind a few good slaps "Is that the way you behave?" he scolded. He put the little brat down. Yahiko grumbled as he walked away with his head down. Kate was panting for breath. "What's...*breathe*...is with...*breathe*...that...*breathe*...kid?" Kanon was hugging Kenshin, squeezing him so tight that she was threatening to crack him ribs. "Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you" She cried. Kenshin felt a rush of embarrassment. "Y-you're welcome, M-miss Kanon..."
When Kanon finally let go, Sano had brought up his courage to show his face and came walking around the corner "Did I just see "Tiny" go by?" he asked with a grin on his face but it quickly fell when he heard Yahiko yell "WHAT????!!!!!????" That was when Kate understood. Yahiko was overly sensitive about his height! Every time somebody made a comment or cracked a joke about him being short, he will go crazy and attack! And now Sano was that unfortunate somebody "Oh now you've done it!" Kate called out to him. Sano screamed and ran off and Yahiko went after him on his little spindly legs, yelling "Sano!!!" Kanon watched them run off through the garden "poor soul..."
All of a sudden the Dojo door swung open "What the-? Oh great...just great..." Kanon was not happy with what she saw. She suddenly felt that she should run away and hide but she would never do so. All the same she would have rather been anywhere than where she was. She turn to Kate "He's here..." Kate was confused "Who is "he"?" Then she looked to the dojo. A tall man wearing a white and yellow trench coat came out of the building. Kanon frowned "That is Aoshi..."
"Kanon? Is that you?" asked Aoshi, coming closer.
"Help me!" whispered Kanon to Kate.
"How?!" she whispered back keeping her eyes on this Man who is certainly not the object of Kanon's affection.
"Oh it's too late..." Aoshi had walked straight to Kanon and kneeled at her feet, took her hand his and kissed it repeatedly sending shivers down her spine. And they were NOT shivers of pleasure. "Ew....." Kanon cringed. "Kate.....this is my.....my suitor." Kate was very surprised at what she had just heard.
Aoshi stood up and gazed at Kanon "I missed when you went to Kyoto..."
"Aoshi" Kanon interrupted "How many times must I tell you? I DON'T want a suitor!!!!" Katie cleared her throat in hopes to steal some attention from Kanon. Kanon finally stopped her complaint "Oh this is Kate..." she said. Aoshi bowed but then turned back to Kanon. Kanon now wished that the earth would just swallow her! She looked to Kate with a desperate look in her eyes and mouthed "Get me out of here...Go get Kenshin!" Kate started walking fast and faster till she heard Kanon yell "GO!!!"
Kate ran till she found Kenshin still doing the laundry. She knew they needed him to come. "Kenshin!" she called
"Yes Miss Kate?" he paused as he looked up at her.
"We have a problem...*breathe*...It's Kanon, she needs help!"
"What's happened?" The moment he heard that Kanon needed help he got straight to his feet.
"It's Aoshi! He just won't leave her-..."
"AOSSI???" Kenshin's turned red with anger.
"YES!!" With that Kenshin ran to the dojo to help his friend Kate fallowing close behind him. Kanon had had troubles with Aoshi before.
Kanon felt like she was going to be ill. Aoshi was much too close for comfort. She couldn't move from his tight embrace. When she saw Kenshin and Kate coming she felt a rush of relief. "Help me!" She mouthed to Kenshin. He got the message and quickly strode up to Aoshi and pulled him away from Kanon yelled very angrily "STAY AWAY FROM MISS KANON!!!!"
The moment Aoshi left Kanon's side, Kate ran up to her "Are you alright?"
"Yes but..." she looked to the two men circling each other. "...this might get ugly..." Kate saw what she was talking about "Uh-oh..."
"Come, we should run...right now!"
"Lead the way I'll fallow..." They ran. Then Kanon spotted Sano who was watching the scene from a distance. She quickly ran behind him "Sano, I'm using you as a human shield" She said. Then Kate ran up and hid behind both of them "I'll just stay behind you two!" she panted.
"Wha-???" was all Sano managed to get out.
"Don't Argue, Just DO it Sano!" Kanon yelled, already on the edge.
All three of them watched the scene unfold. Kenshin pulled out his sword, Aoshi did the same. "Uh-oh" Kanon did not like the looks of this.
"This can't be good." Kate piped up.
"Well...Don't worry, Kenshin has a reversed blade sword. Plus, he's the best swordsman in all of Japan!!" Kanon announced proudly. The fight it's self was brief it wasn't long before Aoshi fainted. "Did I mention the fastest?" Kanon asked.
"No I believe you forgot that little detail."
Kenshin picked up Aoshi, laid him outside the door and locked it. Kanon ran to Kenshin "Thank you so Much!!! I can't stand him!" she cried
"Miss Kanon, are you alright?" After that little misshape Kenshin was very worried.
"I'm fine, but Kate seems to be a bit shocked..." and so she was. All the while Kate just stared, unable to move. "Miss Kate? Are you alright?" Kenshin waved a hand in front of her eyes. Kanon, being rather impatient gave Kate a smack "Wake up!"
"Ow!" Kate wailed "I'm awake!" she rubbed her face.
"Are you sure you're alright, Miss Kanon?"
"I'm fine...thanks to you..."
"Anything for you, Miss Kanon" Kenshin smiled "You're like a sister to me."
"And you are like a brother to me, Kenshin" Kanon wrapped her arms around Kenshin in a warm hug. Kenshin returned her hug happily. Then he finally pulled away "Well, I should get back to the laundry." He went back to work.
"Isn't he sweet?" Kanon asked Kate.
"He sure is!" Kate smiled. Sano on the other hand had still to figure things out. "What just happened?" he asked looking more then a little confused.
"Nothing, Sano."
"Well" he said backing away from them "I'm feeling a little sick so-..."
"WHAT????" A voice yelled. Kate smacked her forehead. Will Sano ever learn? He ran off before Yahiko could catch him. "Does this happen all the time here?" asked Kate. Kanon watched Yahiko yelling "Get back here SANO!!!" Kanon sighed and shook her head "Sadly, yes. Let's go for a walk shall we?" started walking slowly. "Yes let's." she walked along side her. They left the dojo in silence, enjoying the quiet.
When they reached the town Kanon decided to break the silence. "So Kate" she started "What do you think of MY world?"
"Well...It's very exciting. What can I say? I love it! I'm sure about that lit-...uh I mean...that Yahiko kid." Hearing that made her companion laugh.
"That kid can hear the word "Little" for miles..."
"WHAT???" They both turned to see Yahiko running toward them.
"Boy this is really one of those day huh?" Kate said, really tired of running from this kid.
"Kate! Run! Now!" Kanon yelled. Kate ran and ran as fast as she could. Suddenly a blast of hot white light shot through her like a bullet through a glass window. Then all faded into Blackness...
Katie's eyes shot open with a gasp from her throat. She looked about. She was sitting at her desk. Her computer had gone to sleep mode. Her hot chocolate had gone cold. She looked at her clock, 2:00 a.m. it read. Katie heard somebody stir, she turned to see that Alex had suddenly awaken. When Alex saw what time it was she looked to Katie confused. "Did you...? I had..." She couldn't find the words she was looking for. Finally she figured that it was silly and asked "Were you awake this whole time?" Katie shook her head. "No I just fell asleep at my computer. But I'm going back to bed" She saved what she was writing and turned her computer off. And got into bed. Alex got up "I'm just going to get some water. I'm parched!" She left for the Kitchen.
