On The Road

Nakada held on tight to Yoko's hand as she ran with DJ, Kyle, and Jennah to her house. When they were in the drive way they saw that that the backdoor was ripped open, "Guy's keep DJ here I'll check out the house," Jennah and Kyle held on tohim as she ran into the house yelling for their parents to see if they were all right.

Yoko couldn't believe what was happening to him, I couldn't believe I fell for it! Kelsey even told me that she didn't like Nakada!

"Just goes to show how stupid you can be huh?"helooked towards Jennah and saw she was looking straight at him with anger in her eyes, "Of course though you were probably all caught up in what you were going to do to Nakada and her brother weren't you?"he closed his eyes and flattened his ears to his head, "WEREN'T YOU?"

"YES!" Yoko yelled at her, "I was so mad at her because she had made me unconscious that I wanted to hurt her! Before I even meet her I wanted to make her and her brother my slave! And yes she does know that! I didn't want anyone else to…"

But before he could say any moreYoko perked his ear up when he heard someone crying. He looked toward the house and was about to walk to it when he heard Jennah yell, "DON'T!"he looked towards her and saw she had let go of DJ and was on her way to the house, "I'll go in you can just stay right here!" But beforeshe made a move to the house Nakada came out and motioned them to come in. They all went in except for Yoko who stayed behind and looked at the ground.

He had some how gotten dressed in his demon cloths and Nakada looked at him, "You coming in?"he jumped back and gave a little had appeared right beside him and even though it might have been by accident she had let her voice go cold.

Helooked at her for awhile, "Nakada I…"

"Don't talk right now Yoko!"she said as she looked at him hard tryingto control the amount of anger in her voice, "Words aren't going to get you out of this much trouble. Our family is kidnapped, my pets are laying down on the floor passed out, I still have to go into your mind to see if you really were in this or not and we have to pack up some important things and leave, LEAVE our homes!" Nakada closed her eyes and when she opened them she didn't look directly into Yoko's face but looked at the ground and took his hand and dragged him into the house.

Yoko was so limp that he was thankful that Nakada had sat him down into a chair, "All right now we have some packing to do! But first Jennah your father still has that truck right? With the double beds?"she nodded, "All right we might need that and April has a huge camper. We need two cars to pack our things in. We can use mine and yours."

"But Nakada we don't know how to drive!" Jennah said to her.

"There is a first time for everything Jennah and we can't argue right now! I have a letter here from the demon Yoko had blinded who was also working for Kelsey saying that he will come back for us! Now come on we have some packing up to do!"

Nakada and DJ both went upstairs to pack while Kyle and Jennah were downstairs packing food. Yoko sat there not knowing what to do so he just sat there. Then he heard some one come down the stairs. He looked at the stairs and saw Nakada coming down with blankets and pillows, "Yoko could you help me out here?"he got up and took the blankets from got down from the stairs and took the blankets back from him. She turned and looked at the wooden door that lead outside and it opened, "It's a good thing mom left her purse here with her keys in it. And thanks for the help,"she said as a pair of keys appeared beside went out of house and put the blankets in the trunk of the car. She went back in and went up stairs to pack some cloths. Yoko just stood there not knowing what to do.

Then DJ came down with a suitcase full of clothes and other things. Yoko took the suitcase when he was about to drop it and DJ gave him a surprised look and then a smile and took his stuff out to the car, "Thanks," he whispered so onlyYoko could hear it."

"Jennah make sure you don't pack to much sugar! Yoko gets too hyper when he eats it!" Nakada called from upstairs.

"All right!" Jennah called back and then Yoko thought of something.

Am I going? But Nakada hasn't been in my head yet!He went upstairs just as Nakada was coming out of her room.

"Oh Yoko what's wrong?" she asked him.

"Why do you care about what I eat?"he asked looking at herhard.

"Look don't make me sorry that I won't go into your head. I am trusting you and I thought that sense you don't want to go to your own world I don't see any reason why you shouldn't come with us. I'll go into your head tonight okay? But right now we don't have any time to argue!" Yoko just stood there and nodded, "All right my aunt will come here maybe since it's a Sunday because mymom, DJ and I should be at her house by now but I had to putmy parentsto sleep. So she will be here to see if things are all right. I'll take the cell phone and the animals should be all right. Do you think I should leave a letter?" Yoko nodded, "All right."

When everything was packed and Nakada had written the letter they all went into the car. Yoko felt a bit uncomfortable being in it not knowing what to expect, "Okay I got all the money I could find around the house we have to go to the other girls houses and your house as well okay Jennah, Kyle?" they both nodded, "Oh Yoko you should buckle up," Nakada and Yoko were both in the reached over for the seat belt and buckled Yoko into the still looked a bit uncomfortable.

Nakada then took out the keys and inserted the driver's key into the keyhole and turned the car on. The car instantly started up andYoko's eyes went wide and pushed himself against the seat, "Here's hoping we don't crash," Nakada put the car into drive and slowly drove it out of the driveway. Yoko folded his ears against his head and closed his eyes.

They made it safely out of the drive way and into the traffic, "Wow Nakada are you sure you haven't driven are car before?" Jennah's voice came from behind Yoko but he wasn't really listening as he kept his eyes shut.

"Only on racing games on the computer. Now Jennah when we get to your house we are going to need your truck because we can easily hide Yoko in the back but maybe he could go into Apils camper as well," Nakada said as she navigated the car through traffic heading for April's house, "We have to go to April's house first because her camper can fit the rest of the girls in it. I called the other girls and told them what to pack and other things. April can drive her camper and follow us," Nakada looked beside her at Yoko and saw that he was not enjoying this trip, "When we get there I think Yoko should stand outside for awhile."

They all looked towardshim and saw that he didn't look too good. Nakada took her hand off the steering wheel and touched his forehead. He flinched a bit and then Nakada thought of something she looked the review mirror and saw that Kyle was behind Yoko, "Kyle can you scratch behind Yoko's ear gently I don't think he is enjoying this to much. He needs to be distracted."

"All right but if he bites me or anything like that I'll get you!" Kyle reached up from behind Yoko's chair and started to gently scratch behind one of his ears. Nakada could hear a faint purr coming fromhim and she smiled. In a few minutes they were at April's and she was ready. Nakada unbuckled herself after she turned off the car and went to Yoko's side of the car and opened the door. Kyle stopped scratching behind his ear as Nakada unbuckled him from the seat.

Yoko gladly got out of the car and leaned against it when Nakada closed the door. She put a hand to his forehead and he turned away from it and looked at her warningly, "Yoko this is how we are going to have to travel from now on so you have to get used to it,"she said as she looked at him in anger, "April are you sure you got all the money you could find?"she asked her as she turned toward April.

"Yeah and but I haven't put that much in the fridge of the camper, I was thinking you might bring something's. But I also found out that you know the doors on the side of the camper right?" Nakada nodded, "Well those are the openings to the freezer! So we can pack a lot of food in there,"she nodded again with a little smile.

"Yoko why don't you sit on the porch you don't look so good,"he glared at her but he went and sat on the porch in the shadows. Nakada glared back at him but continued to talk, "Okay we can pack the food we have that can be frozen and put it into the freezer. April how big is it anyway?"

Sheshrugged, "It looks like it is the size of the camper and the length is the same as the length of the doors that open it. So we should be able to pack a lot of food in it. I already put all the food I think can be frozen in there already," Nakada nodded as she popped the trunk. They all began to sort out the food that can be frozen and began to put it in the camper andthe camper wasbig! It was the size on one of those big carrier trucks, load and all!

Nakada walked up to Yoko when they were done packing, "Okay Yoko do you think you can go into the car again?" he looked at the car and then back at her.

"I guess now that I know what to expect," he said as he shrugged. He got up and Nakada opened the back door for him, "Yoko, DJ will be will be riding with you in the back so if you feel like your getting sick again he will scratch behind your ears alright?" Yoko nodded as he buckled himself in as the rest of them went into the car or the camper. DJ, Yoko and Nakada were the only ones in the car as the drove off.

Yoko didn't feel sick again so DJ didn't have to scratch his ear and that he was thankful for. When they had gotten the rest of the girls they went to Westville to get to Jennah's house. When they got there Yoko still didn't feel sick. Kyle went upstairs to get onto the computer to make a map of where to go and he asked Yoko to go with him. While they were doing that the rest of the team except for Nakada and Lacey were hurrying around getting things to take with them.

Nakada and Lacey were having a little disagreement, "Lacey listen we have no time to argue he is coming with us! I'll search his mind tonight when we have gone far from here!"

"Nakada by tonight he might have already killed us! There will be no need for you to search his mind if we are already dead!"

"Lacey if he wanted DJ and I dead do you think we would be dead already! He could have killed us last night or this morning but he didn't!"

"Only because he didn't meet us yet! And now he has what is holding him back? Or maybe he is trying to earn our trust so that when we least suspect it he will kill us! He has already blinded his so called friend who is after us and left another to die!"

"Oh honestly Lacey do you believe Kelsey? She will do anything to put ourselves against each other!"

"Nakada why are you defending him? Do you care about him?" at this moment Yoko and Kyle had gone down stairs having had decided on a route to take when they heard what Lacey had said. Kyle opened the door a bit to listen better but Yoko could hear quite well.

"Lacey he struck me and he wanted to make me and my brother his slaves! I don't care about him but I don't want him to be cruelly misjudged!"

"But what did you think of him before you found out he was going to make his slave or before he struck you? What did you feel?" Yoko and Kyle were both listening to the argument as was the rest of the team.

Nakada paused for a second unsure what to say, "Okay! I liked him okay? I thought he was cute and he looked a bit silly as well ascute with the fox ears and tail! And I had a slight crush on him but that went when he struck me!"

"Oh really then why did you still help him after you had screamed? I know you knocked him unconscious but you carried him up a tree so he would be safe! And you gave him a blanket to sleep with last night and gave him something to eat! You even played with him this morning!" they were all listening to what Nakada was going to say next. Yoko was the one who was straining his ears more then the rest though.

"Do you take me for some kind of monster?"she asked as looked at Lacey and spoke in her cold voice. Lacey shivered, as did all of them when she spoke, "Do you honestly think I would do something that goes against the promise we made to ourselves? To help others when they need it and kill only if necessary. He didn't need to be killed and if I had left him and some other demon came along it would have probably killed him. So in away I would have left him to die and I would have been the reason he died even if I can't kill yet."

"Nakada are you saying that you are that gullible? He struck you, Nakada and here you are defending him! Have you forgotten the other promise we all made? To right wrongs and bring justice to the ones who are guilty! If we let him live or go with us or let him roam around free to do with as he pleases then we would be betraying and breaking that promise. Don't you care about that anymore?" Lacey wouldn't stop until she heard the words even if she would freeze to death.

Nakada only saw two ways out of this and she didn't want to go the way Lacy wanted. I know that she wants me to say I have feelings for this DEMON but how can I admit something that isn't true? So I'll take another approach, "Lacey I know he has killed many innocents, and yes I also know he has stolen many things and hurt many family's because of what he has done in his past. But Lacey you and I both know he was used without him knowing! We might only be children compared to him but tell me how would you feel in his position? To know you were used for someone else's pleasure except for your own. To be used in something you had known nothing about and then suddenly be brought into it without any knowledge of it as well?"

Lacey just stared at her, "That is not the point! For all we know he might not BE with Kelsey. But…this whole planet!"she said as she spun all the way around with her arms out stretched and turned to look atNakada again, "This whole planet is completely defenseless against what he can do! And my guess is when he finds out that there are no demons or anything like that here he won't hesitate to take it all over like the DEMON he is. He won't hesitate to hurt and kill many innocent people and children. He won't hesitate to destroy your trust and kill you with out us knowing. He won't hesitate to do all those things and many more."

"So he got used…my guess is once he finds all of this out he will quickly get over the embarrassment or humiliation or what ever he is feeling right now and instantly take advantage of this world." Everyone was looking at Yoko right now as they listened to the argument but some how he didn't notice and listened to more of the argument as Lacy continued, "So Nakada are you going to search his mind or are you so gullible when it comes to a pretty face and trust him without searching his mind because you might have some kind of feeling towards him?" everyone was silent as they returned to looking outside and waited for Nakada's answer.

Nakada stood there as she went over all that Lacy had said in her head. He probably wouldn't hesitate to do those things I guess. But I would never have feelings for him…I'm just doing this because he was used…but…Lacey is right. If he finds these things out then he might not hesitate to do terrible things. She sighed and looked at Lacey, "Lacey your right…" everyone gasped and looked at Yoko who's eyes were a bit wider but not that wide, "He might not hesitate to do those things…but you are wrong about me having any feelings for him. He's a…demon and what he has done in his past is to horrible for me to have feelings for him so you can forget about that right now," for some reason Yoko could feel his heart sink when he heard her say that he wouldn't hesitate to do the things Lacey had mentioned. But what made him more confused was why his heart hurt when she said she couldn't have any feelings for him because of what he was. Yeah she had said she couldn't because of what he had done in his past but it sounded like she mostly couldn't because it had more to do with him being a demon.

"Yes so now go and check his mind," Lacey said quietly. They all heard Nakada walk to the door and they all scattered. Jennah dragged Yoko to the kitchen and they reached it when Nakada had opened the door.

"Yoko we need to go into the camper,"she said and he walked out of the kitchen and they both went to the camper. The camper had four bedrooms so everyone was going to have to bunk with someone, "Yoko you are going to sleep with DJ all right? So we will go into the room he picked out earlier. They went into the camper and went into a bedroom that had a T.V., VCR, electric clock, other bedroom like things and a huge bed against the wall. "Yoko you are going to have to lie on the bed and I will put you to sleep okay?"

He nodded and went to the left side of the bed and laid sat on a chair beside him and put her hand on his forehead. It was hot against her fingertips, "Yoko there is no need to be afraid if you aren't with Kelsey. I never do this wrong."

Yoko felt her take his hand with her free one and then the one on his head became cool as he for some reason began to felt calm and fell asleep. Nakada smiled, she had no intention of going into his mind. It was a simple kind of spell to test if some one is with you or not. If the person fell asleep then they were with you. If the person went through horrible pain then they were against you. Yoko had gone to sleep showing that Nakada had been right he didn't work with Kelsey and he had no intention of hurting them. She instantly felt weak the spell might have been simple but it was also energy draining.

She carefully as got up and walked out the door and went outside, "Well?" Lacey asked as she stood there with her arms crossed leaning against the side of the house.

Nakada looked at her and said, "He is with us and has no intention of doing the things you said Lacey," they all burst out into smiles except for Lacey who just stood there with her arms at her sides not believing what she was hearing, "Now someone is going to have to drive my car since I am to weak to drive it," Nakada said as she stood up and leaned one hand on the camper.

"I'll do it," Sophie answered. Nakada took out the keys from her pocket and threw them to her.

"If you want to listen to some of the CD's DJ can show you where they are though we have a poor choice in them. Jennah can drive the van and Kyle can drive the truck. Everyone else get into the vehicle you want to ride in. Be sure you want to go into that one because until we get to a gas station you are staying in there. But some one is going to have to be with Kyle since I doubt he can read a map and drive at the same time. You all have your cell phones I have my mother's so we can call each other for anything else. Now there was another thing I wanted to say…oh yes…someone is going to have to count up the money we have as well. Now does everyone know what to do?" they all nodded and Nakada smiled, "Then lets go!" Everyone went to a vehicle they wanted to be in as Nakada, April, and Lacey went into the camper. Lindsey went with Kyle, and Jennah was by herself but she didn't mind.

Nakada was shown to her room by Lacey while April started the camper and she went into Yoko and DJ's room to count the money.

Well thanks for the review Eternal Musing and I am glad to see your not saying that much about my grammer so that must mean it is getting better I hope. I do agree with you though. The people who write stories on the net are more experienced because they have been here longer and are pretty much will older as well. I'm still in school myself and I hate it when good writers sing off or are deleted from a site. This is a warning though in in the later chapters it might get a little confusing to you since it seems you haven't read the other storys I have written but that won't happen until much later. I'm just warning you so you won't get confused when the time comes and to anyone else who is reading this as well who haven't already read my other stories and is reading this one. You should read my other stories before you continue reading this one. Well that is about it but please I don't mind the advice from Eternal Musing but I would like to hear if there are any complaints from someone else or if someone think my story is doing good so far.
