Chapter 18: Tribulations
Tell me…what exactly is the definition of a boyfriend?
I couldn't believe it. But…I heard it with my own ears…and Goshujin-sama heard him too. You see, Hitoshi-sensei just called all of the people in our castle to the hallway in between and just…said it…
"Kai Hiwatari has mated with Nikita Balkov…and she now carries his child…I'm warning you now…if you so much as look at her the wrong way…I can't assure your safety…"
I understand why Hitoshi was warning us…phoenixes were viciously protective of their mates…
But…Kai…and a tainted human…I just…
Does…not…compute…-swirly eyes-
Anyways it's the weekend now and since Goshujin-sama is hanging out with all of the other guys in the second castle I recommended that Vega-san invite all of the girls over to the first castle so that we could have our own party!
Oh! Did I forget to mention? Vega-chan is staying in our room now. We don't know exactly why she was transferred into this room; she was staying with Mystel-san for the first couple of days. Why would Kinomiya-sensei make her switch rooms? I mean Mystel-san's from Egypt too I bet they could've been great friends or even more…-soppy romantic sparkly eyes-
Oh well, moving on…
Many of the girls had started to flock to our side of the castle and we were beginning to make a barricade in the middle of the hallway that connected the two castles. :D YAY IT'LL BE LIKE A SLEEPOVER!!!
"Ah finally…a night where I'll be able to sleep peacefully for once…" Kyo-chan said while she helped Loretta move the furniture out of the common room.
:D THIS REALLY IS GOING TO BE LIKE A SLEEPOVER!!! HURRAY!!!!
"Hah what Takao's keeping you up at night Kyo-Kyo?" Rena asked her while stifling a giggle.
"Yeah…that stupid dragon snores louder than a thunder storm!!!" Kyo did her best impression of one of Takao-kun's snores and a roar of laughter among the others followed.
"Vee-chan…start a conversation!" I urged Vega from her pocket.
"S-So K-Kyo-san…do…you like Takao-san?" My Egyptian friend asked shyly.
"WHAT!?! OF COURSE NOT!!! THAT STUPID PERVERT NEEDS TO DIE!!!!" screamed Kyo dropping her side of the couch that she and Loretta were moving.
"Dammit Kyo!!!" The blunette yelled while raising knives from the ground to hold up the fallen side. Loretta wiped her brow in relief.
Cathy laughed, "Nice save Loretta…"
As soon as the common room was cleared we all changed into our pajamas and started to place our futons on the floor.
"So Nikki how does it feel to be a mommy?" Kyo asked while poking her friend's shoulder lightly.
"It feels like hell…Kai doesn't acknowledge me at all…it's like he's using me just to make the child. But…even if…he hates me…and abandons me with the babe…I swear…that it'll never feel unloved…"
Nikita-san placed a hand on her flat stomach and gave everyone a small smile. Though that smile may be fake…I know that Nikita-san will stay true to her word.
"Surprisingly…that's almost what it's like with me and Rei…" Naoko-chan spoke up.
"Yeah Nao…what exactly is going on between you and the tiger?" Emma asked while laying down on her futon.
"Can I ask all of you…what the definition of a boyfriend is then?"
"Someone who'll hold you…" Xylia-chan closed her eyes.
"Someone who makes you feel safe…" Cammy-chan wrapped her blankets around herself.
"Someone who comforts you when everything seems to be going wrong…" Nikita glanced at the barricaded hallway for a moment then looked away.
"Someone who's strong enough for the both of you when he needs to be…" Rena said hugging one of the many plushies she brought with her.
"Someone who's not Takao? Wait my mistake…Anyone but Takao…" Kyo laughed.
"Someone you care about…" Miyuki-san took off her slippers and sat down on her futon.
"Someone unpredictable…" Emma-chan blushed.
"Someone who's likes you for who you are…" Shura stated blandly.
"Someone who's loyal…" Cathy said as a pair of lion ears popped up on her head. :D CUUTTTEEEE!!!!
"Someone who you'd risk your life for…" Akira answered surprisingly calm.
"Someone who can swallow his pride at the right time…" Luna said with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Someone who'd rather die than hurt you…" Vee-chan answered. She…seems sad…
"Someone who loves you… Kao-ri stared at the ground.
"I think Rei's using me…just to get rid of his stupid fan club…and I hate it…because all of them are threatening me…every moment of class on a school day…" Naoko finally spoke.
"Then break up with him…" Loretta snorted "that stupid pretty-boy tiger needs to feel some major pain…"
"Let's stop talking about such negative things…that kind of stuff makes bad dreams…" Rena nodded.
Suddenly the lights died and we all sat in dark in silence for a moment.
"What…the…fuck…?!" Shura growled loudly.
"Wyatt…what the hell are you doing past the barricade?" Cathy must have sniffed him out.
"Err…the power went out for real on our side…so…"
Wyatt-kun was cut off by Takao-kun.
"We're gonna stay over here with you ladies!" The perky dragon said cheerfully, plopping down onto Kyo's futon with her.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF MY BED YOU STUPID BRAINLESS PERVERT!!!!!" She screamed in fury and then sent Takao-kun flying across the room via air Kyoko.
Takao landed against the wall with a splat. "Are you sure you weren't paranormal before you came here Kyo-Kyo?" He managed to squeak.
"ARRGGGG I'LL KILL HIM!!!!" Fortunately Nikita and Kao-ri had a strong hold on their friend.
"Cathy my sexy lioness--"
"Rai…come near me…and I'll rip your pretty face to shreds…" Cathy enunciated the fact that she had her claws ready and waiting by ripping a long gash along the bottom of the couch.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!!!" Tala and Shura yelled in unison.
"Grab your futons…from the other room guys…" Tala stated while walking over to an invitingly empty armchair "and Takao…some of us would like to sleep tonight…so keep your trap shut for once…"
Hey! There's Mystel-san!!! Whoa!!! Vee-chan just stood up suddenly. WHY IS SHE WALKING BACK TO OUR ROOM UPSTAIRS!?!
I stealthily flew out of my friend's pocket and over to a flower in the room.
Nikita and Kao-ri had finally let go of Kyo-chan after she promised not to kill Takao until tomorrow morning and were both returning to their futons.
I noticed that Brooklyn had let out his black feathered wings and was now sitting on a futon that he had placed next to Kao-ri's.
The female vampire sat down and stared at her mate with a confused look written on her face. She reached out and touched his newly sprouted appendages, perhaps she was wondering if she would get wings too. It'd be really cool if she did, though that's just my opinion. –sparkly eyes- They'd be a couple of fallen angels…how romantic!
Things were beginning to settle down…and everyone was retreating to their beds to finally rest for the night. I, myself settling down in the center of the flower I was on and closing my eyes. I felt the warmth of the room embrace me before succumbing to the darkness and falling asleep.
-----------------------------------------
My eyes flickered open and I stared at the clock. It was 2:00 A.M…WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING AWAKE!?
I closed my eyes to return to dreamland but I noticed a light coming from Vee-chan's room…and Goshujin-sama's futon was empty.
I flew silently up to the room and peered through the keyhole.
"Promise me you won't tell anyone Max…" Vega spoke softly.
"I promise…"
In the next moment…it felt like my world shattered…
She kissed him…
My female best friend…kissed him…
Holding back my tears I returned downstairs before Goshujin-sama.
He promised he'd help me get back to normal…but…can he really keep to his word…
In the past I was a fairy...in the future I'll be a pixie...but right now I'm broken....and there's no one there to fix me...
…My name is Rini Tamayoshi…

Lily: Hey everyone…I'm REALLY REALLY sorry for not updating…here are the reasons why I couldn't…
1. History is a bitch…I had this long term project that I put off till last minute…but seriously…my History teacher loaded on the work in between too so I didn't really have time to work on the chapter.
2. I really needed a break from writing… (. .);;; GOMEN!!!
3. I got a bunch of Manga for my birthday and I couldn't stop reading!!!
4. I had the worst case of Writer's Block in the world…but I finally came up with an idea…not to mention an idea for the next chapter too so don't worry my updates will be on time now!
Anyways…
Please Forgive me…
Cause I'm Always and Still…
