Here's chapter 15. I did tell you, that you would get another chapter in June even if it is the second to last day of June. I wasn't lying at least about getting it out. This one is a little longer. Don't forget to review at the end. Oh and now you have to wait until July for the next chapter.
If you look down, you'll see that yes the chapter starts yet again with the unidentified people. Only one person has actually told me who they think the father and daughter are. Jeez. It's not that hard. I know it's not hard for me, since I'm the authoress, but still the only evil people or people that were evil in the book are the Ling's and Tomoyo and her crew. See I just gave you all the answer to who the father and daughter are.
This chapter is dedicated to . . . . . . . . The 62 people who viewed this story and didn't review.
Chapter 15
Unidentified POV
"The time has now come for us to get what we deserve." I whispered as I stood on the balcony overlooking Milord's army. "You army is grand Milord." I said bowing to him. "It will be an honor to lead them against the guardians and the king and queen."
"Yes." Was the lone answer and I felt myself grow angry.
"Milord, is it possible for you to send my sons to me?" I questioned wishing them to be here for the battle.
"Your sons are otherwise engaged."
"Yes Milord."
"Your son Koji has betrayed you."
"He would not. I do not mean to anger you Milord, but Koji is not one to betray."
"I promised him he could have Jade." Milord turned to me. "Which means you must forget about her. Koji is far more deserving of her."
"Milord." I said in agreement though not meaning it one bit.
"Go and prepare yourself for battle, the first wave of attacks has already begun."
I bowed low and turned around. My hands were clenched at my sides as I walked away from Milord to leave the hall. I pushed open the door to my chambers and shut it behind me as I grabbed my armor and weapons from their place on my bed. I slipped on the armor and then the sword. The door open and my daughter walked in to stand before me dressed in her robes of silk. She just looked at me before handing me my dagger to add to my collection of weapons.
"I heard what milord said." She told me softly. "Koji would never betray us. He knows what you will do to him if he does."
"Yes, but that would not stop him. He knows to much, and will tell Milord our plans." I said to her. "Koji needs to be eliminated along with my other son. Make it look like an accident." I said, giving an order to the assassin hiding behind the curtains in the corner of the room."
It would seem as is a breeze moved the curtains but I knew better. The assassin had left the room and now it was only my daughter and I. I looked at her and saw the odd smile on her lips. Something flashed in the candle light and I stiffened as a dagger came into view. My daughter twirled it between her fingers, that odd smile still playing across her lips. I took a step back not knowing what she had planned. Whether it was killing me or just playing. Suddenly her smile widened and I heard a sound behind me. I spun around and dodged a sword being brought down towards me.
"Sorry father." Came my son's voice. "Koji and I are no longer under your control. Neither is your dear daughter." I blocked the next move of the sword, using my own to help. "Milord knows what you had planned. He didn't agree."
"Father." It was Koji now. "Milord decided you were expendable. He also decided that your scheme to get the guardians and king and queen was stupid." I blocked his attack along with my other son's. "Of course, he's still going to go through with getting the magic and the Queen."
"The only difference Father, is that you won't be here when it all happens." My daughter whispered as if into my ear. "I can't wait. I've always been saying that jade is no good for you." She laughed mercilessly. "Koji and her are a better match."
"Sakura will never be yours father." Said my eldest son. "She belongs to our lord."
"He knows of your plan to kill him and to take Sakura." Koji whispered.
I opened my mouth to say something but someone hit me before I could.
"Don't try to speak. You might put a spell over us, and we don't want that." My daughter announced.
"Let's just get this over with." Koji hissed. "I need to stop Our lord forces from attacking the city. Remember that?" I heard a katana being drawn from its sheath and I stiffened. "Our lord is smart but this is just stupid, me being a double agent of sorts."
I saw the flash of metal and moved back, but not fast enough. Seconds later I stared down at the katana being pulled from my body. My sons and daughter all stood around me, watching me. Koji was the first to leave, going by the window instead of the door. My eldest son and then my daughter left, using the door. I choked on my blood and closed my eyes for the last time.
(I tried not to make it graphic. So please don't get mad at me.)
Koji's POVI looked over at Jade as I stood beside her again. An excuse forming in my mind as she turned to me. She didn't say anything, only looked at me, and sighed. Suddenly a blast sounded from somewhere to our left and Jade spun on her heel running after Syaoran and Eriol who were already on their way. She stopped suddenly and looked back at me and Tomoyo.
"Ah, the fires this way guys." She called and I rolled my eyes wondering how she could be sarcastic in the midst of all this. "Are you coming?"
"Yea." Shouted Tomoyo who ran past me, stopping only to grab me and drag me along behind her.
I ran, pulling my arm lose. Jade had started to run again and was by now standing beside Syaoran, at the edge of the park. Syaoran was scanning the wall and I saw his eyes come to rest at the spot were the woods took over the park. He said something to jade who looked at us and motioned towards the trees before starting to walk through the gates. We followed and a katana materialized in Syaoran's right hand while Jade pulled her necklace from around her neck. I saw her lips move, talking into the wind that suddenly appeared. A mist appeared around Syaoran and her when it lifted the sword in Syaoran's hand had changed, it looked more as if it was part of his aura, and was laced with the elements. Jade had a staff in her hands, it looked wooden and probably was with silver spread through the staff as if it was the woods grain. Syaoran had a dark green cloak with pink along the bottom hem, draped around him, over his jean and t-shit clad body. Jade also had a cloak but hers was black, with silver along the bottom hem and the ties keeping the clock on her were also silver.
"This is different." Said Syaoran as he looked down at the sword. "Think this has something to do with the prophecy?"
"Well there is no other explanation." Called Tomoyo who was staring at a ring on her finger. "This wasn't here before."
Jade smiled and jogged towards us. "Tomoyo concentrate on your aura. Try saying something like, this earth mage commands you to reveal yourself. Something like that." Jade held up a finger. "Say it in your mind, but move your lips to the words."
She looked over at Syaoran, shrugging before looking over at me. She sighed and then looked over at Syaoran and he nodded to her, and I frowned wondering had happened.
"I'll stay here and help Tomoyo." Syaoran offered. "You two go scout ahead and take care of anything you see." He was using his authority has a king, and since we are guardians we listen. "Alright Tomoyo try this, concentrate on your aura, keep concentrating. Now think of the happiest memory you remember."
Jade started to walk away and I followed wondering why she seemed to distant and depressed all of a sudden. When we had gotten closer to the trees, maybe only a few yards away she stopped and turned towards me. The look on her face wasn't very happy. More like sad, confused. I took a quick glance back at Syaoran who was still helping Tomoyo, then I looked back at Jade. I sighed and muttered something in my mind, allowing my guardian power to surface. The cloak that appeared was similar to Jade's only it was silver colored with black on the hem and ties. A katana, my own, which was like Syaoran's only without it being tied to my aura was at my waist. I dressed still in my jeans and t-shirt. I looked up and over at jade who was looking at my katana.
"Is something wrong jade?" I asked a little to harshly, fed up with her attitude at the moment.
"I know . . ." She stopped and closed her eyes resuming to talk to me. "You're Ling-sans son." She whispered and I closed my own eyes briefly. "That means you have something to do with all this." I could see that she didn't believe any of it, even though it was partly true. "Why?"
"Who else knows?" I heard myself ask, darkness seeping into my voice even though I tried to stop it.
"Only me." She whispered.
"Look Jade, my father had me under some sorta spell. I never knew what I was doing, until my sister and older brother told me. Rei, my cousin, she knows nothing about this." I explained. "I'm not under my father's spell anymore, he's dead."
"Koji, I'm not accusing you have anything." She said harshly. "I'm not stupid. My cousin and I can both read minds. Of course I knew something was going on with you when I let my block fall by accident and my power tried to get into your mind, but couldn't." She laughed. "I don't really care what family you're from. I know you would never want to take magic from someone." She sighed and muttered something under her breath. "Of course you're still under some jagoffs control." I raised an eyebrow and composed myself before she realized I had heard.
"Well the King gave us an order, shall we follow it or what?" I said changing the subject.
"Are you kidding, do you think while I was talking to you, I had my eyes closed because I was nervous?" She hissed and pointed behind me. "We have company." I turned around and looked at the demon standing there.
"An eagle demon. Wind doesn't work against it, neither does fire. Don't ask about the fire part, something my father came up with." I spoke with distaste. "Leave this one to me." She motioned me onward with her hands as she walked over to the bench and sat down, laying her staff across her legs.
Jade's POV"Eriol stop hiding behind that tree." I hissed looking behind me. "It's not going to save you when people blast the trees apart."
"How did you …"
"Women's intuition, we know when we're being watched."
"you sure it wasn't magic?"
"Eriol!"
"Sorry. I just don't believe in …"
"Don't even say it."
I glared over at him and then settled back to watch the show Koji was putting on with his fight with the eagle demon. I rolled my eyes, as the eagle demon clubbed Koji over the head with his left wing. I cringed as a few claws sunk into Koji's side. Eriol was muttering a spell and I pushed him before he could finish. Giving him a glare I hoped he got the message to let Koji fight this alone. I knew he had heard nothing of what was said between Koji and I, and I was glad about that. I looked back at Koji and decided that if he didn't end this soon, the eagle demon would grounded the hard way, courtesy of the bow and arrow I could create with my magic. I sighed as I leaned forward watching as Koji got yet again hit by the eagles wing. I stood up, rolling my eyes and I transformed the staff into a bow. Taking a branch from the ground I transformed it into an arrow and whispered something over the arrow, before placing it to the bow. I aimed carefully and looked at Koji, whose back was to me.
"Koji move." I shouted and as I watched he dove to the left and released my hold on the arrow, letting it fly past Koji to hit the eagle's right wing. "So Eriol, how about a binding spell to stop the demon from attacking. My attack won't kill it."
"Don't bother." Syaoran said as he ran past us and killed the eagle with a slash of his blade. "Come on, let's go. Nice of you to join us Eriol."
"Syaoran," He retorted, "I didn't see you fighting."
"That's because he was busy helping me, when you should have been." Tomoyo said hitting him over the head. "I really like this outfit on me." She said to me and I looked over at her and smiled
"Wow your umm past self really knew how to dress." I said joking as she brushed imaginary dirt off of her deep purple robes. "The cloak is the best part, it doesn't go with your outfit." The cloak was green, like her aura, and the purple and green didn't look good. "Umm, maybe you should see about changing the cloaks color to maybe black or brown."
"Thanks Jade."
"No problem."
"Will you two quit it." Syaoran shouted at us and we glared at him.
"Why don't you shut up." Tomoyo and I shouted at the same time.
"Oh great, they're twins." Joked Koji and I flew at him, tackling him to the ground. "I take that back?"
"You better." I hissed getting off of him. "Let's go, our almighty leader has left us behind." I called as I ran to catch up to Syaoran and Eriol who had left us in the dust.
We ran after Syaoran, having a difficult time catching up because Tomoyo wasn't used to running in the clothes she was wearing, plus her boots had a heel to them. I looked behind us, and then forward again as sounds I have never head before filled the forest. I let my staff turn into a katana and with a single slash a demon had no dead. I continued to moved killing the demons, using my magic every few minutes in intervals. I dodged an attack and moved to see how everyone else was fairing. The only person I could see was Koji; Eriol, Syaoran, and Tomoyo were no where to be seen. I ducked and let a demon sail over my bed, courtesy of Koji. I spun and impaled a demon on me blade. I pulled it loose and brought it up in a clean arc to cut the head from the demon. I cursed myself for letting my guard down to check on Koji.
"Hey Jackass, think about ducking and you might live."
"Why don't you duck?"
"Because I don't need to."
"So sure about that."
I answered him by twisting the katana in my hand so that the tip faced behind me and so the hilt was backwards. I pushed it back into the demon behind me and smirked.
"Yea."
"Fine."
Tomoyo's POV
"Eriol where is everyone?"
"I don't know." He answered as he looked around us. "We have to go find them."
"No shit Sherlock." I muttered under my breath as I sent razor sharp leaves at a demon sneaking up on Eriol. "We have company."
"I noticed," he said dryly as he muttered a spell that sent four demons flying into a tree.
I rolled me eyes and ducked sending a blast of green light towards a demon. I heard fighting behind me and words being muttered. I muttered a few of my own and two demons took a little trip into two other demons before flying into a tree. Being an earth mage was wonderful. But where the hell were the others and on top of that why the hell did Touya and Mei Lin not come with us to the forest. I growled as a demon came at me. A staff appeared in my hand and I used to whack the demon over the head. I brought it behind me to hit a demon behind me and let then I used more of those razor sharp leaves to kill more demons.
"Why do I have the feeling your pissed about something?"
"I'm not pissed about anything, so mind your own fucking business Eriol."
"You are pissed. Care to tell me about what?"
"Not while we're fighting."
"True, point taken."
I rolled my eyes and continued to fight the stupid demons that didn't the understand that they were being defeated. I whacked a few more with my staff and then dodged some widely thrown fire balls. I was running out of ideas and my razor sharp leaves would only do so much. I ducked a demon, that went flying into a tree and knew Eriol was behind that one. I growled yet again and sent the demons before me flying into the tree with the help of some vines that sprung out of the ground.
I didn't know I could do that! I thought as I used the vines to tie like ten demons together and slam them into a tree. But I love it. Maybe I could use them to tie Eriol to my bed. I blushed realizing what I had just thought. Eww, how I could think that. I don't like Eriol . . .ok maybe a little. I sent the razor sharp leaves at a demon and watched as his body was broken up. That's disgusting and to think I liked these leaves. I moved to the left and used the staff to slam a demon into the tree as I ducked yet another demon and a fire ball. I wish this fighting could end so I could rest for once. As if by a miracle the demons stopped through a few more fire balls at us and then left.
"Ok, that's just freaky."
"What are you talking about Tomoyo?"
"I just wished these idiots would leave and they left."
"Demons you mean."
"Idiots, demons, what's the difference."
"And you seriously go to High School."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
"I don't believe you."
"No, because you only believe yourself."
"Bastard."
"So I've been told many times by you."
"I mean it this time."
"And you didn't the other times?"
"Well, er not really."
"So you do like me."
"Don't keep fooling yourself Eriol."
"Why don't you stop fooling yourself and admit you like me."
"Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll start to believe it."
"I do believe you like me."
"Grr, I want to kill you."
"And I want to kiss you."
"Then kiss me already."
Oh yea, major Cliffy. The plot thickens . . .If this chapter sucked then I'm sorry, I wrote it in like an hour.
