"I sense a disturbance in the toaster" Charlie said to herself more than Kyo who was sitting next to her on the couch.
"What?" Kyo asked looking at the crazy girl.
"come on something's wrong with Rissa's toaster besides it being crushed" she grabbed his hand and led him to Rissa's apartment.
"How do you know this! Your nuts!" Kyo yelled.
"and that's why people like me" but deep down Charlie always felt a pain in her heart when ever anyone called her nuts or stupid or crazy because sometimes she didn't like being called that...especially when she was trying to be serious.
"okay...whatever" Kyo sighed "so what are we going to do with the toaster?"
"you'll see"
((in Rissa's apartment))
"I shall use the force" she lifted up the toaster and out of no where all these computers and other expensive looking electronics popped out as Charlie ran technical, chemical, and physical tests on the toaster.
"What the hell?" Kyo looked at the computers and then to Charlie.
"what I cant be crazy and a certified genius at the same time?" Charlie raised an eyebrow at him.
"Because! whatever" he sat down Indian style glaring.
"man I am so under appreciated" Charlie continued to work then finally stood up "I am done" the computers disappeared.
"So what is it?" Kyo asked rolling his eyes.
"well I don't know but this toaster seems to have a vortex around it which could sadly be a rip in the time space continuum which could get bigger and bigger eventually sucking us into another dimension!" Charlie huffed when she finished for she speeded up in her talking.
"So in short...we're all going to die" Kyo shrugged.
"no just get sucked into another dimension" Charlie replied shrugging
"What dimension?" he asked.
"most likely yours..." Charlie paused "but I'm kind of guessing on which dimension though"
"That would be a good thing" he mumbled.
"for you yes...the rest of us...no" Charlie straightened up "lets go back to our apartment ill fix the toaster later"
"okay...so...hey where did Haru and your little friend go?" he looked around the oddly quiet apartment.
"uh oh..." Charlie suddenly stopped "so that was what the disturbance was...she probably got sucked in with cow man"
Kyo tensed "cow man?"
"yeah he reminds me of a cow for some reason" Charlie paused for a bit thinking.
"okay" Kyo blinked.
"well lets go home.…" which is kind of two doors down but not the point
"okay"
"oh and..." Charlie paused as a battle raged in her head 'no I wont tell him yet' she thought
"so what are we going to do about the two that were sucked into the toaster?" Kyo asked.
"eh...bring Rissa back using one of my nifty inventions" Charlie smiled proudly and ran into her apartment opening a wall
"What the?" Kyo stared at the wall.
"here we go...don't you dare go in there or I will throw you off the roof" Charlie glared at Kyo as she dragged out a weird thingy that I can not describe.
Kyo eyed her with Oo eyes.
"well lets go see the toaster..." Charlie walked back into the apartment and went to the toaster...
"okay" Kyo followed officially distracted.
"uhhh I think the vortex has gotten bigger" Charlie stepped away from the toaster
"Crap"
"yeah know this might be a..." the next thing Charlie knew, Kyo and her were floating in what looked like a bad 70s moment "problem..."
"Uhhhhhhhhh" Kyo blinked "Sorta...Haru was black and we were fighting...then colors then..." he couldn't finish his sentence for the two were hurled out of the vortex and onto the ground.
"owwww...my head hurts now..." Charlie rubbed her head and looked up "where are we Kyo-kun?"
"I'm home...back in Japan" he looked around.
"good for you...for me...no" Charlie looked around at the scenery
"So...I think Haru and Rissa came this way...or something really bad happened to them...like Ayame found them..." Kyo stood up.
"okay..." Charlie stood up and suddenly felt sick but tried not to show it.
"Are you okay?" Kyo asked looking at the girl who was poorly attempting to cover up her sickness.
"yeah I-I'm fine..."Charlie stammered a bit
"Are you sure?" he was cut off by a small noise.
"KYO! WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU!" a small blonde haired boy came darting up to the two, he was wearing shorts and T-shirt...along with a fuzzy pink jacket.
"awe what a cute little girl!" Charlie smiled.
"That's not a girl" Kyo sighed.
"it's not?" Charlie observed the blond kid "he looks like a girl though"
"This is Momoji Shoma..." rubbing his temples Kyo looked at the child, "Momoji...is there anyone else with you?"
"uhhhhhhh" Momoji thought for a second "no"
"Did Haru and maybe another girl come through here?" Kyo asked looking around.
"yes they did!" Momoji shouted out "she already found out the secret too!" momoji looked at Charlie "Kyo do you hug this girl? She's cute" suddenly Momoji shot up and hugged Charlie and a puff of smoke blew up.
"YOU LEWD RABBIT!" Kyo screamed at Momoji, who had changed into a white bunny.
"what the hell?" Charlie was surprised beyond all reason " Kyo please explain!
"This is complicated...uh you might want to turn..." before he could finish Momoji turned back into a human, his clothes laying on the ground next to him.
"AHHHHHH!" Charlie covered her eyes "well this just makes me feel sicker...I mean"
Momoji who was pulling on his clothes smiled at Charlie "I didn't really see Haru and his girlfriend but Hatori told me about finding them"
"oh how nice...and really Kyo I feel fine!" Charlie replied trying to cover up her last comment
"No your not" Kyo pressed the back of his hand to Charlie's forehead "you have a fever...come on...I'll take you to Shigure's"
"okay" Charlie stood up and a wave of dizziness washed over her but she tried to shake it off but it didn't work "Kyo-kun"
"Yes" Kyo looked over at Charlie for he had been harassing Momoji about him hugging random girls.
"I really don't feel..." Charlie then lost consciousness and fell backward.
"AH!" trying not to hug her but to catch her Kyo grabbed her around the waist with one arm and scooped her legs up with the other "Now look what you did! Now I have to carry you...very nice" he sighed and started walking.
((Rissa))
"This is a very nice room Miss. Thoru" Rissa bowed, since she had been with Thoru and away from Haru, her personality had done a 180, now she was more polite and...well ditzy than ever.
"yes you may sat in here and please call me Thoru" she smiled at Rissa and watched her admire the guest room.
"Thank you Thoru...so...what was up with the nudist in the front room?" Rissa asked, she was more than likely never going to close her eyes again.
"oh ummmm ask Shigure" she knew that was the best idea and giggled in her head at Yuki's new nickname
"Is he the owner of the house?" Rissa asked looking at Thoru "yes...I shall ask him everything that Haru has been so cryptic about" she was talking to herself but when she saw the look Thoru gave her she added "Rissa said quietly to herself" and slunk off to find Shigure.
"oh hello Rissa how are you?" Shigure asked as he met Rissa in the hall.
"Okay what is up with Me. Nudey pants when I came into the house?" she demanded then bowed "I am fine how are you?"
"oh well its like this" Shigure explained all about the curse such and such ((I'm to lazy to write it)) "so does that answer your question?"
"So...what animal is Haru?" she asked blinking.
"yes?" Haru was suspicious about Rissa's attitude.
"I have one requset...see I have this thing" Rissa being the actress turned her head letting tears fill her eyes, even Shigure bought it.
"what happened?" Haru was worried
"I...I'm gonna d-d-d" she broke out into fake sobs "DIE!"
"WHAT?" Haru was really scared.
"I'm going to die because my heart" she looked down "this isn't any of your concern but...but...but...there was a last wish that I want" she sniffed.
"what is it?" Haru asked
"You wouldn't care" she turned bitterly "I'm just that dumb little girl that beat you with the squeaky bat"
"I do care Rissa please what is your last wish?" Haru was speaking the truth.
"I wanted to..." she sniffled "someone to love me"
okay this is Rissa on the outside: boo hoo wah!
Rissa on the inside: HA HA sucker!
"Rissa..." Haru suddenly hugged her and there was a poof of smoke and he was a cow.
"YOUR THE OX! Shigure...I guess you were right" she nodded turning to Shigure.
"what! What! you mean you were lying to me why you little!" Haru was about to charge when he turned back to normal.
"AH! MY EYES! THE BURN WITH THE WHITE HOT INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS!" Rissa screamed rolling on the ground.
"uhh sorry" Haru quickly put his clothes on then he heard the door open "who could that be?"
"SHIGURE!" Kyo called, he was still carrying a passed out Charlie. Momoji was trailing along behind happily.
"what's the matter Kyo?" Shigure went downstairs
"We have a issue" he nodded to Charlie.
"ohh who's this pretty girl?" Shigure inched towards Charlie.
"Don't think about it" Kyo snapped, suddenly in a whoosh from upstairs Rissa came charging down.
"What happened?"
"she caught a fever or something" Kyo looked worriedly at Charlie.
"Alright...thank you orangey but give her here" Rissa took Charlie away from Kyo and trudged up the stairs.
"uhhh Rissa? What's happening?" Charlie was in a slight daze.
"You got sick again" Rissa sighed "you are the most difficult person" she shook her head and opened the bedroom door, she dropped Charlie onto the bed.
"owwww" Charlie grasped her head and turned on her side.
"Oh My!" she knelt down by Charlie's side "you need rest"
"no kidding...where's Kyo-kun?" Charlie asked being used to having Kyo by her side
"ah! So your ditching me for a boy? You must have it bad!" Rissa giggled teasing her friend.
"just tell me" Charlie was not in the mood for jokes:
"He's outside more than likely waiting for you" Rissa stood up, she tilted her head back and closed her eyes, formulating a plan. "Huzzah!" she said softly "I'll be right back" she rushed off to find Kyo.
"whatever" Charlie was wondering what she was doing.
"Kyo!" Rissa called out "I need your help!"
"what?" Kyo asked coming out of the kitchen
"I need you to keep Charlie company for me so I can make Haru's life a living hell some more" Rissa nodded.
"okay and she is were?" Kyo asked not knowing.
"She's in the room I'm staying in, please don't fluster or upset her" Rissa warned narrowing her eyes.
"okay okay..." Kyo went up to Rissa's room and found Charlie staring at the ceiling
"So..." Kyo cleared his throat.
"huh?" Charlie looked up her face slightly red from her fever "oh Kyo-kun"
"Are you alright?" he asked kneeling down next to Charlie.
"i don't know...I think I have a fever though but I'm not sure" Charlie wiped some sweat from her forehead
"It seems like it" he handed her a washcloth that had been sitting in the basin next to the bed "this might help"
"thank you" she laid down and put the wash cloth on her forehead " why did you come up here?"
"A-Rissa, something about making Haru's life hell...and B-I wanted to see if you were okay" he sighed.
" your such a bad liar...you didn't even know where I was..." Charlie smirked.
"I am not a bad liar!" Kyo protested angrily "I am not lying!"
"sure your not" Charlie smirked "but your really nice for coming up here"
"Yeah, whatever...we need to think about you getting back to your own world...no offence but you can't stay here" then after this statement as though the fates were listening and decide to play a joke Rissa rushed in.
"HEY! Guys it seems like we're gonna stay here!" then she rushed out.
"oh great" Charlie sighed and got up off the bed and made it to the door before leaning on it in exhaustion.
"Hey, you shouldn't be up" Kyo grabbed Charlie pulling her back down to the bed again.
" you care about me amazingly to much" Charlie put her head on Kyo's shoulder
"uh...I don't care...it just sucks when you pass out from exhaustion" Kyo replied.
"your such a bad liar" Charlie smiled slightly:
"Shut up" he glared.
"oh so you do care about me" Charlie smirked knowing she had got him
"I do not!"
"whatever you say" Charlie put her head up and attempted to walk out of the room again
"Your gonna kill yourself and your crazy friend will kill me!" Kyo grabbed Charlie.
"that's the point" Charlie snickered and attempted to get away but her body was weak so she gave up but got an idea in her head and looked at the open window but acted like she was just staring in a daze.
"Are...you okay?" Kyo asked.
"yeah I'm fine!" Charlie smiled and sat on the bed again and awaited the right moment
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"yup perfectly fine!" Charlie smiled "you can sit down if you want" Charlie points to a chair the farthest from the window.
"okay..." reluctantly he sat down.
"so..." Charlie sat at the edge of the bed close to the window and trying not to look suspicious "why is your hair orange?"
"I was born that way" he raised an eyebrow.
"oh that explains it" Charlie smiled brightly "ya, know what?"
"What?" he asked nervously.
"bye!" Charlie quickly jumped out the window landing lightly on her feet and ran for her ever loving life.
"CHARLIE YOU IDIOT!" he screamed after her, jumping out after her.
"no don't follow me!" Charlie ran faster.
"Don't jump out of windows!" he screamed back catching the back of her shirt.
"ah!" Charlie fell back "why shouldn't I? I jump off of 20 story buildings and don't get hurt"
"Because your sick! You could have killed yourself!" he latched onto her wrists dragging her back to the house.
"grrr!" Charlie then kicked him on the neck and flipped him over then climbed a tree and jumped through random ones to escape him.
"Come back here!" he yelled.
"no!" Charlie continued to go through the trees but her foot slipped on a branch and she went plummeting head first to earth
With his speed ((which he developed in training in the mountains)) he caught the clumsy girl. "Because I jump off 20 story buildings and don't get hurt" he mimicked her.
"hey I do I can prove it to!" Charlie screamed at him "now if you mind putting me down..."
"Your not leaving" using his metal grip, he dragged her back to the house.
"okay fine!" Charlie let herself be dragged until she got up to the room where she struggled to get out of Kyo's grip "let me go now!"
"Okay...fine" he dropped her.
"thank you!" she quickly made a break for the still open window but Kyo caught her.
"Stop it or I will bar that window" he threatened.
"fine!" Charlie sat down in a huff then caught sight of a electric guitar in the corner of the room "what's this?" Charlie took the guitar and plugged in all the cords and started to tune it
"A guitar" he answered simply sitting down.
"yeah I love playing the guitar" Charlie had finished tuned it and strummed a couple of simple notes
"Your good" Kyo mumbled his eyes closed.
"that's just a couple of simple notes" Charlie picked up the strumming more and played a soft lullaby
Kyo opened his eyes "so do you play in a band or something?" he asked .
"yeah Rissa and I have a band back at home" Charlie responded "its 'devils cry' and we play heavy metal Goth music" she responded ((like Nightwish hehe))
"hum...that's pretty cool" Shigure burst through the door "since it doesn't seem like Charlie and Rissa are going back any time soon they are going to take entrance exams tommyrot and then more than likely go to your school!" he then popped out.
"well that sucks..." Charlie shook her head and started playing really fast, loud and heavy rock music on the guitar.
((Rissa and Haru))
"what's that sound?" Haru asked hearing Charlie play the guitar.
"That is Charlie magically finding a guitar" Rissa nodded "We should go Karaoke!"
"uhh okay is she in a band or something she sounds really good" Haru asked curious
"She is and so am I" she shrugged "Devil's cry...now where is the best Karaoke place 'round here?"
"uh Bob's karaoke place" Haru replied
"...Bob's..." she raised an eyebrow "OKAY LET'S GO!" she grabbed onto Haru and ran out of the house, running in a random direction.
"HEY GUYS SINCE RISSA AND CHARLIE ARENT GOING BACK THEYLL TAKE THE ENTRANCE EXAMS TOMORROW AND MOST LIKELY GO TO YOUR HIGHSCHOOL!" Shigure suddenly appeared and disappeared bringing in the good news but missed them.
"...I will plot my revenge for when the return" Shigure cackled evilly and walked away.
((Kuroki bar))
"So...this is gonna be fun" she smiled and enter the bar. The announcer called all the people who wanted to sing to the stage, Rissa smiled again and ran to the stage.
"Young lady" he turned to Rissa "what do you want to sing" he smiled using his blinding all-too-white teeth.
"Nemo by Nightwish" she replied. The lights turned down and the announcer handed her the microphone. The music started and the words came out.
"This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh, how I wish...
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh, how I wish…"
"Well she is weird" Haru whispered to him self and chugged down the beer
The music stopped and people clapped, she bowed and sat down next to Haru "What you think?"
"it was okay..."he replied and drank another beer (wow will he have a hangover in the morning)
"Your gonna get drunk" she glared grabbing the drink away from Haru "no beer for you...you minor!"
"HEY! give me back the beer!" Haru battled Rissa for the beer.
"Do you want me to throw this on you and make a scene?" he demanded taking the butter knife from the place next to her and holding it to Haru's throat.
"no..." Haru stood up "let's go home"
"Fine" she stood up "you make everything so difficult"
"whatever" Haru headed out with Rissa behind him.
(( Charlie and Kyo))
"do you play anything Kyo?" Charlie asked giving her fingers a rest.
"No" he shrugged "Do you play anything else?"
"uh I can play the drums a bit and...the flute" she replied thinking about it
"It seems you have musical talent" Kyo closed his eyes again, then heard a huge bang from downstairs. "YOU ARE SO DIFFICULT!" came a shrill scream and then someone pounded up the stairs and threw open the door...it was Rissa.
"what's the matter?" Charlie was startled.
"Haru...is a jerk!" she yelled and sat down in a huff.
"okay well listen to the music and tell me your problems" Charlie took the guitar and played soothing sounds from it.
"He said I was weird and had a bad taste in music!" she ranted closing her eyes and humming quietly to the music, Kyo was watching them with a raised eyebrow.
"the music calms her down" Charlie continued to play "Nightwish is actually a really good band but...he was right you are weird"
"But then he was drinking!" she turned away her eyes threatening to tear up.
"aw we all know how much you like him that must suck...I mean" suddenly Charlie stopped playing and put the guitar in a safe place.
"I know...wait what!" the words processed.
"uh bye!" Charlie quickly jumped out the window.
"STOP DOING THAT!" Kyo and Rissa both screamed out the window.
"well your going to kill me so why shouldn't I?" Charlie stopped and asked.
"I won't kill you!" Rissa shouted.
"yeah you wont! You'll destroy me for my comment!" Charlie pointed out.
"You said that I like him but I don't! He is a selfish, uncaring, mean spirited person!" she yelled.
"exactly so your gonna destroy me like you always do!" Charlie yelled out.
"I do not!" she turned around and left the room angry.
"Kyo she really does" Charlie replied while climbing back into the room through the window.
"She really does destroy you?" he asked.
"pretty much" Charlie replied and grabbed the guitar again and played light tunes "so what yeah into Kyo we never have time to talk really"
"I'm into...martial arts" he sat back down.
"cool I love martial arts" Charlie smiled and continued to play
"Yeah" he drifted off into space.
"Kyo-kun? what are you thinking about?" Charlie looked worried and put the guitar back in its holder
"I'm thinking about" he was interrupted by a shrill shriek from downstairs
"KYO-KUN!"
"Oh no!" he made a break for the window, but a brown haired girl ran into the room tackling Kyo.
"who is she?" Charlie was getting a bit jealous.
"I'm Kagura Shoma and I'm engaged to Kyo-kun!" she hugged him.
"You are NOT engaged to me!" he tried to push her off.
"YOU ARE TOO!" she howled and proceeded to beat the crap out of him.
"ouch and I thought Rissa's were worse...oh wait it is" Charlie though pulled Kagura off of Kyo and tried to hold her back.
"Who are you!" she demanded glaring at Charlie.
"I'm Charlie a friend of Kyo-kun" Charlie replied hoping she wouldn't get beaten
"So that means your my rival!" Kagura stated and jumped back on Kyo.
"huh?" Charlie was confused "how am I your rival?"
"Your my rival in love!" she declared hugging Kyo closer.
"love?" Charlie was even more confused.
"Yes!" Kagura stood up turning to Kyo "YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING ON ME!" she screeched beating Kyo again.
"cheating?" Charlie then got mad "I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!" she tackled Kagura to the ground in an angry fury
"What?" she looked up her brown eyes big and innocent "KYO!" she exclaimed when she saw his battered appearance "who did that to you?"
"uh you did you idiot!" Charlie yelled out
"Huh...oh I haven't seen my Kyo-kun in a while and I was so worried" her big brown eyes teared up.
"oh for the love of!" Charlie went over to the wall and banged her head on the wall really hard .
