The Legendary Knight- Possessed

"Are you done, Kei?" Kai asked impatiently.

"Almost," Kei said, writing something down.

"But you'll put me to sleep with all this. What exactly are you supposed to be examining anyway?"

"While translating, I found out a few things. Since the White Knight disappeared, parts of her were power were used to make the very first Lefae Knights. However, over generations of reincarnations and Lefae powers being passed on to make new knights, those early memories were forgotten. She is the mother of Lefaenia and life as all knights were once apart of her. So it states that she, you, should be able to preat with more than one knight at the same time."

"Whoa. That's kinda cool."

"Yeah, I explained it to the others. they should be coming down here any minute now.

Kai rolled her eyes. I guess that means that bastard too. "There aren't any weird side effects are there?"

"Not that I know of. But it would probably give you a headache if they all spoke inside your mind at the same time."

"Great..." The pack entered soon after. Hayate went first, surprising her at how fast he grabbed her hand. He had this look on his face as if he wanted to get this over with so he could get back to something. Well I apologize if I'm interrupting you and Himeno's make-out time but this isn't exactly my decision. Shut up and grab Shin's hand already! Kai reached out to the blushing blonde and smiled. He timidly grabbed her hand. After the flash of green light died down, Kai found herself in a pretty good cross between the Pretear of Wind uniform and the Pretear of Earth uniform. I didn't think it was going to work. Yeah I know.

"Is it a strain on you?" Kei asked.

"No."

"Alright. Next."

Hajime stepped up gladly. Then Sasame, Goh and a grumpy Mannen. Tell Kei to hurry up. Wow! It's sort of crowded don't you think?... This is weird. I want out! We're done aren't we? Shut up Mannen! ... That's it, I'm out! Mannen unpreated with Kai, as did the others.

"It's fine," Kei spoke. "There's no need for me to preat with her too. I have the data I need. You may go." Mannen stomped out of the room first. The rest slowly walked out. Kei left to go meet with the elders about this.

Once everyone left, Kai fell to her knees and doubled over. Small drips of blood dripped from her mouth, to her knees. Mannen knocked on the already closed door. "Hey! The elders want to see you for another examination!" There was no response. He knocked on the door harder. "Are you still mad? Get out here!" Now all he heard was coughing coming from the room. He popped open the room door. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," she replied in a raspy whisper. There was blood all over the floor and she just kept coughing it up. As soon as Mannen tried to help her up, she slapped his hand away. "I'm fine. Go (cough) away."

Mannen picked her up against her will and carried her down to first aid. "Stubborn..." he trailed off on his insult when he noticed she fell asleep. "...child."

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Kai woke up a little drained ten minutes later. Sasame was sleeping up against the door, so it wasn't like she could sneak out. She shook herself awake, then threw her pillow at the napping man to wake him up. "H-Hey, you're awake," Sasame said while rubbing his eyes. He picked the pillow up from the floor and set it down on another hospital bed. Kai stood up. "Hey, lay back down."

"But I'm fine now. Really."

"If it was too much, then you should have just told Kei that."

"But it wasn't...at first."

Sasame gestured over toward the side table at her lunch. "I brought it up. It's probably a little cold-"

"It's fine," she said before stuffing her face.

"Hey, slow down."

"But I'm hungry. I didn't have anything to eat all day." Kai pouted like a little child before biting down on another rice ball.

Sasame sighed. "At least don't eat with your hands. You're not an animal."

Kai's face turned red. She hadn't noticed how fast, or the manner in which she was eating. She normally wouldn't have cared. "I-I'm done."

"Already? Hand it over. I'll take it to the kitchen."

"You've done enough. Stop being so nice all the time," she frowned.

"Hmm? If not nice then how should I act?"

"Normal," she shrugged.

"This isn't normal?"

Kai stared at him. He had this confused look on his face for a while. Then he smiled at her. "Being normal is boring."

She noticed that childish grin on his face. Usually, he was so…adult. Like Hayate's opposite, but at the same time, much like him. She shook her head slightly. Still a little dizzy.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine. Can I leave now? The first aid wing is depressing."

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Mannen stopped her in the hall just before she entered her room. "Yes, Mannen?"

"Err," he stared nervously. "Are you alright?"

Kai looked at him for a while before making a smart remark. "Obviously." Kai tried opening her door again.

"Wait."

"Now what Mannen. It's late and I'm tired."

"I just wanted to…eh…say-"

"Out with it."

"About the other day…I'm…s-…seeeaaaooouuurry."

"You're seaourry?" Kai raised a brow at him.

"You know what I mean," Mannen snorted.

"You couldn't have said this earlier when I was more...awake?"

"Do you have to turn everything into an argument!"

"Do you have to shout?" she retorted, a bit dazed. "Besides, I got over it already. Now let me go to bed."

"Alright. Good Night. And don't sleep walk into my room again, you scared me last time."

Kai punched him in the arm. "It's not funny. And I won't." She walked into her room and closed the door."

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

There was a light tap at the door. Sasame rolled over trying to ignore it, but even the sound so light woke him up. The tap came again. He lazily rolled out of bed and walked to the door. There stood a smiling maid in the hall. "Hello Sasame-sama. Did I wake you?"

Of course you woke me. "It's quite alright. How may I help you?"

"You really shouldn't have asked."

"Hmm?"

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Stop knocking already. The door's open," Kai groaned as she rolled over in her bed.

"Kai?"

Kai now sat up. "Sasame? What is it? Is something wrong?" The songbird smiled at her and closed the door behind him. Kai stared at him oddly as he approached. "What are you-"

Sasame placed a finger over her mouth, making her face turn red. He then pulled her into him with a soft smile and kissed the confused woman. Sasame placed a firm hand on her chest. "All the hate within you, feed to me, be with me and my endless hate." His hand phased in through but was quickly shot out by a shock of electricity. Sasame jerked away. "Why won't she let me in?" Sasame gasped in a very different voice.

"Because..." Kai looked up at Sasame with one eye of white light, and the other of red fire. "This body's taken. Now rid yourself from my presence pest!" The frightened black shadow leaped from Sasame's body and disappeared. His body collapsed onto the floor. Kai's eyes slowly faded back to normal. But the over rush of whispers in her head made her faint back onto her bed.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

The sun shone in through the window and irritated Kai. She rolled over as usual, not noticing how close to the edge she was, and fell off the bed. "Oof!"

"What the-?" Kai looked down to see she fell on Sasame. Her face turned red when she saw him smile up at her awkwardly. The flustered woman jumped up and stared at him. "What are you doing in here? And why don't you have a shirt on?"

"I really don't know. Maybe I sleep walk too." He laughed nervously before excusing himself.

"That was weird..." Kai muttered. Then she got a devious thought in mind. "He wouldn't." She checked to see if her underwear were on backwards or anything weird like that. Just as Kai was doing this, she became startled when someone burst in through the door. "Oh, hey Hayate," she greeted without even looking up at him. She knew it would only be him bursting in through the door like that.

"Don't hey me! What happened!"

"Yeah. Did you make our little Sasame a man?" Mannen laughed.

"Shut up Mannen!" Hayate boomed.

"I fell on him."

"What and his hips broke your fall?" Hayate now turned around at Mannen with fire in his eyes. "Alright, I'm shutting up."

"I woke up, he was on my floor. You know he wouldn't do something like that." She sighed a little disappointed. "Too bad for me," she muttered to herself.

"What was that!"

Normally Kai would have been snapping back in an equally loud tone, but she wasn't feeling well. I have a headache as bad as a hangover. Maybe...a warm saki and some fried Calamari would do me good right about now. She thought about it for seconds before dismissing the thought. Like I could in this house... "Could you stop yelling. I don't feel good. I'm going to go take a shower, unless you want to make sure Sasame's not in there too?"

"Can I come?" Mannen joked. Hayate grabbed him by the face and dragged him out of the room.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Why couldn't you!" Takako shouted as high as her feeble body let her.

"There was a problem when we had the puppet take over the Knight of Sound."

"I don't want excuses! Just forget I asked. You both are worthless!"

The older twin Takata stood to speak. "But not hearing what we have to say would be your loss."

Takako listened closely but still seemed irritated. "He wasn't let in to control the woman," Kana explained.

"That still doesn't explain what's so interesting."

Takata took over when she noticed how annoyed Kana was becoming with her mother. "She's already been possessed by something greater than the power of the Princess of Disaster. That is why we weren't let in."

"Greater? Was it...that legend Kei was talking about?"

"I've seen her preating with more than one at a time."

"Really?"

"We believe so. Right now, from what we've seen, we think she's borderline evil. Straying over to the darker side of her own form like you and the Pretear."

Takako thought about it for a while, then her lips curled into a wicked smirk. "We don't have to be let in."

"I knew you'd say that. So we help her become what she's already on her way to being. Serve the same purpose."

"Yes my deviant children. It shouldn't be that hard." You'll suffer Hayate. Suffer until the very minute I finish you and everything around you.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Where'd that ring go?" Kai searched all around her room. That bastard better not have taken it… Kai saw a small flash of light come from under her bed. "There it is!" She kneeled down and reached under her bed and grabbed it. I advise you clean that off first. Don't want you getting infected. Yet…Heh. Don't scare the girl when you can't do anything besides run your mouth. Not yet anyway… Don't listen to her. "What the hell?" Kai froze, looking around the room but seeing no one. "W-Who's there?" Someone opened the door and it made Kai jump.

"What's your problem?" Mannen asked.

"Don't you knock, Baka!"

"Relax tomboy. I just came to say they're starting breakfast early today. That is, if you're even planning on eating with us, or eating at all."

"Y…yeah. I'm coming. Sorry." She stood up and walked to the bathroom to rinse the ring off first.

"Sorry?" Mannen was a little surprised. "Wow, that's a first. Alright, seriously. What's wrong with you?"

Kai looked up from the to the bathroom mirror and saw that she had no reflection. "Everything…" she muttered.

"What?" Mannen popped his head into the bathroom.

"Nothing. I'm fine." Kai hit him in the arm. "Let's go."

"You don't have to hit me every time you feel like saying something. It's always violence with you."

"Is that a problem?" Kai asked as she glared at him. Mannen couldn't help but remember the time she tried to choke him to death. He shook his head absentmindedly. "Good," she smiled.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"It's nice to finally have you eating with us again," Sasame greeted.

Kai's face went dark red. "Yeah…"

"Kai, do you have a fever?" Himeno asked. When she placed her hand on Kai's forehead, she felt her hair stand on end.

How embarrassing…

"You don't have a fever but your face is so red. You should go back to bed."

"I'm fine," Kai muttered while lowering her head. Himeno was clueless to the muffled laughs around the table.

"Are you su—"

"Yes!" Kai snapped a bit harshly. She lowered her head again and continued eating.

"Well."

"What?" Kai asked a bit rudely when hearing Hayate's voice.

"Aren't you going to apologize!" Kai fell silent, stuffing her mouth too fast for her to talk. "Well don't do it because I told you to, do it because Himeno didn't do anything wrong."

Kai glanced up at the smiling tulip-head. "Oh, that's okay. It's fine. I know you didn't mean anything by it."

Kai shrugged and got back to her food. After she finished eating, she rested her chin in her palm and stared at Hayate. The knight didn't notice at first, but soon grew uncomfortable. "What!" She didn't answer him, just kept staring. "What is it!"

"Looking at you disgusts me and yet I continue to. Why?" she asked herself as she continued staring at him. Everyone was a little caught off guard by her statement but when were they not? The gods had truly chosen the best to end up with them. Such a random, hurt, depressed, lying, scary, yet humble and fun person to be around. Though Sasame was the closest one to knowing what she was thinking and he barely knew much. The truth was no one ever knew what she was thinking. It scared them to an extent. The girl's been through so much, she could snap and become the Queen of Disaster at any moment. But when? Kai blinked at the reaction she got and excused herself as if they were being odd. Sasame found her after quite some time sitting on the roof of the palace.

"What are you doing up here?"

"Thinking," she said in no real attempt to carry on a conversation.

"How'd you even get up here?"

"After I left I just mindlessly wandered around until I got lost, then I found a door back there that opened up to the roof."

Sasame nodded and sat beside her. "So what are you thinking about now?"

"A lot of stuff."

"Like?"

"You know…if time has no beginning or end, then how does it exist? How does it have an in between?"

"I don't know. It's just like that."

"When's the afternoon?"

"Huh? At one pm I guess."

"But twelve is noon. So wouldn't afternoon be 12:01?"

"Well technically you're right-"

"But then if that's right, wouldn't twelve and on second be the afternoon?"

"Yeah that's right too-"

"But then wouldn't twelve and one half a second be afternoon?"

"Uh, yeah-"

"But then wouldn't twelve and one-fourth a second, or twelve and one-hundredth of a second be after noon. And if that's right, numbers go on forever. So when is afternoon really. When is before noon. There is none. And if there is no afternoon or before noon, there is no noon. So why do some things just exist with no reason?"

"You thought that all up yourself…well when you put it that way-"

"Do you hear something?"

Sasame, being the knight of sound, didn't hear anything out of the norm. "No, why?"

"No reason. What happens to people when they die?"

"I don't know"

"Do you think bad people go to a bad place when they die?"

"I-I don't kn—"

"Do you think I'm a bad person?" Kai blurted out as if it were asking is the sky blue, assuming she knew the answer. No. Why would you think that? Why would you ask that? Of course not! She lowered her head. "Don't answer that."

"You need to stop thinking so much." Sasame placed a hand on the girl's head. "You only make yourself more depressed thinking about things like that. If you've got a problem, just tell me about it. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you because you kept whatever it is you have to say to yourself."

"Not everything I have to say is very nice…"

"Nice or not, tell me about it before it gets worse. Okay?"

Kai just sat there, burning red again. "Maybe Himeno's right, you probably do have a fever."

Embarrassing…embarrassing…

"I'll be fine," she smiled at him.

Sasame froze and turned red a bit himself. Takako… Sasame mentally slapped himself and looked away. "We should get inside. It's cold out."

"Right! Tell the damn Ice Princess I want to see some snow if it's going to be this cold for no reason."

"Huh? Himeno."

"No Mannen."

"But you said Princess-"

"I know what I said and I said what I meant."

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"I'm going to go visit my dad tomorrow!" Himeno cheered. It was late night and she was a bit more hyperactive than usual.

"Wow. Tell him I said hey."

"Uh…HEY! You could come with me!"

"What? Last time I went he kept yammering on about love novels and crap like that. I mean c'mon. I was 5. What would I know about it."

"The same you know now. Nothing."

Kai punched Mannen in the arm. "No one was talking to you retard."

"I'm sure he'd be happy to see you! The whole family wouldn't mind another visitor."

"Whole family? O right, you told me he got married again. Fine, I'll go. But I doubt he'd even remember me."

"Of course he would! I already told him about you in my last letter."

"Why not just call him?"

"We can't call them from here moron."

Kai punched Mannen once more. "Once again, not talking to you." Kai took something out of her pocket and handed it to Mannen before walking off with Himeno. "He'll be preoccupied for a good while. Long enough for you to finish talking anyways."

Mannen read the card curiously. How do you keep an idiot busy? Turn the card over. Mannen did just that and read it again. How do you keep an idiot busy? Turn the card over. Mannen was confused now. He turned it over to see if he had missed anything. But no. he read it correctly. How do you keep an idiot busy? Turn the card over. He turned it to the other side to see if maybe he missed something there. How do you keep and idiot busy? Turn the card over. Wait…the hell! "VERY FUNNY!"

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
