AN: Hiya, me again (I heard that groan). Anyway, I'm back with the sequel to 'A Hero's Weakness'. If you've never read it, read it before reading this. Oh and reviewers if my fic ever strays towards Mary-Sue land let me know and I'll try to improve it. That's my promise to you. By the way, to save you from confusion, my fic starts off with a conversation in the future but refers to the past to explain things. Let me know what you think please. Oh and let me just say thanks to everyone who reviewed 'A Hero's Weakness', it was very much appreciated. I don't know if I'll be able to update as quickly as I did before, we'll see. Ok, on with the story.
Chapter 1
Simone looked into the mirror and took a deep breath as she put on her earings. Today was a big day. It wasn't her big day but she still felt butterflies in her stomach for the happy couple. She fixed her dress and went to check on her friend in the next room. Knocking on the door first, she entered once she recieved a reply. "Wow, Tori you look amazing."
"Thanks." Tori fixed her hair and ran her hands on her dress. "I can't believe it's finally happening."
"All I have to say is, about time." A voice said from behind. Marah along with her sister entered the room too. They both had the same light blue dress as Simone had on. "Oh I'm so excited. This is the first time I've been a bridesmaid at a wedding."
"Well at a mortal one anyway." Kapri interrupted.
Tori smiled, "Well you have to remember, no powers aloud. Not everyone knows about your origins and we want to keep it that way."
"We know, we know." Marah rubbed her hands together. "I just can't wait. I wish one day that I could be the one walking down the aisle with...who would give me away?"
Kapri rolled her eyes. "What makes you think that you'll be asked?" She teased causing her sister to make a face. "If anyone will be next, I think it's Simone."
Simone shook her head as she looked out the window for the car to arrive. "I doubt it."
"Why?" Tori placed her hand on Simone's shoulder. "You two have been through alot together and I've never seen him love anyone like he loves you."
"We don't exactly have a good track record. We're forever on and then off and back on again."
"You two broke up twice, that's all. Anyway, your destined to be together, I believe that's what was said." Tori saw the cars finally arrive.
Mr Hansen knocked on the door and entered with Tori's sister. "It's show time." The former said.
Tori's words made Simone think about something in particular she and Hunter went through. It was the first time she heard the words destined to be together.
Four years earlier
Simone walked trough the corridors of the Thunder Ninja Academy. She had been working at the academy for about six months now. As well as teaching classes, she was also learning the way of the advancd Thunder Ninja's although it was similar to what she learnt at the Lightning Academy. Simone entered Hunter's office. She had a few hours before she had to teach another class. "Hey Hunter, I'm just about to go and get some lunch. Do you want to come?"
"I wish I could but I've got loads of work to do, especially with it coming up to the end of the school year." Hunter ran his hand through his hair. It looked like he had been doing that often since it looked a bit scruffy now. "I don't think I'll even be able to go out with you guys tonight."
"Do you want me to stay and help cut the work load?"
Hunter smiled, though he did look a bit tired. "I want to say yes beause we hardly get to spend any time together but you should go out and have fun."
"We spend time together."
"We're either working or we're with the others. When we are alone, most of the time he interupts."
Simone closed the door to the office. "He? You mean Gabriel. He's just giving updates on Emma and her progress." She realised something. "You don't like him, do you?"
"I didn't say that." Hunter sighed. He saw Simone's ring glow. He knew what that meant. Gabriel appeared in a flash of blue light. "Good thing you closed the door." Hunter commented.
Gabriel looked between the two before finally letting his eyes rest on Simone. "I have some urgent news I must tell you...alone."
"You can tell me infront of him." Simone said. She noticed the look Hunter was giving her protector.
"As you wish." Gabriel nodded. "Emma wishes to return."
"What?" Hunter stood up. "Wait, she can't she's evil."
"Not anymore. She has no physical powers wiccan or ninja since they have been binded and she can't get them back. She is no longer a threat." Gabriel explained. "I'm sure you will want to tell your Sensei." He informed Simone who nodded. With that he left.
"I can't believe they are allowing her to come back and he's ok with it." Hunter slammed his fist onto his desk.
"She has no powers so she's no threat to us or anyone else." Simone walked towards Hunter. "Remember when you were evil and everyone gave you a chance? Well doesn't she deserve another chance." Inside, Simone was unsure.
"I'll need to think about it." Hunter replied.
Simone nodded and looked at the time. "I better go. Can I bring you back anything to eat."
"Yeah sure. You decide."
"A nice healthy salad it is then." Simone joked as she left.
"Anything but that." Hunter called after her.
