The Elementals: Youkai Guardians

Chapter 11

Go our separate ways

/-/ A/N Yay! Chapter 11 is here. Songfic part. My happy ending by Avril Lavigne. This is my longest story yet./-/

Pietro came home late. He and Kagome had gone out to eat after Ranma left for the 10th time that past two weeks to check on Kagome. He walked in the door and started up the steps when her heard Mystique on phone. He listened in for minute and realized Mystique was talking his father. He didn't like the way it was going. He went into the other room and picked up the other phone, putting a hand over the mouth-part so they couldn't hear him.

"Mystique, how much more will it be until Pietro wins over her heart?"

"Not much. I do believe it's very close to time. In fact I think he has, though I think his heart as been won over by her. I do believe he's going to protect her."

"If so then you or I can get rid of him. Nothing will keep me from getting that demon to getting rid of the X-Men. Kagome is the only person that can free him and if she tries to kills the demon after she releases him then I'll kill her too."

"But, Magneto, that is such a waste of young life. Do you have to kill the kids?"

"They are obstacles and if they must be gotten rid of so be it!"

"Yes, Magneto."

Mystique hung up the phone and then walked up stairs. Pietro sat down in a chair looking mighty worried and fearful. His father cared nothing for him. He was going to be killed by his own father but the worst of it was he was also going to kill Kagome after she's done her job. No way in hell could he let that happen to her. He had to tell her but could he tell her every thing? If he did Kagome would hate him but it was better than having her killed. He stood up and kept his head down as he walked up stairs and into his room.

{The next night in the park}

"Oh, wow! I've never been here at the park before at night. It's so different." Kagome said, cling to Pietro's arm as they walked down dimly lit path light by orange lamps.

"Yeah." Pietro deadpanned, looking down at his feet.

"What's up with you? You've been like this all day." Kagome asked, looking up at the sulking Pietro.

"Kagome... There's s-something I have to t-tell you." Pietro said, hiding his face from Kagome.

"What...? Is there something wrong?" Kagome asked, holding on to Pietro's arm tighter.

"Kagome, I can't see you anymore." Pietro said, looking into Kagome's eyes with is face twisted in sadness.

"Wha... What do you mean?" Kagome asked, back into Pietro's eyes.

Pietro quickly turned his eyes from her. He couldn't look into those sweet brown eyes. Pietro bit his lip and sighed. He then pulled out a piece of paper. He couldn't tell Kagome face to face. He looked back at her worried face staring back up him.

/-/ A/N This songfic will have the Kagome and Pietro singing. Weak I know. (K) Kagome. (P) Pietro./-/

(K) "Let's talk this over. It's like we're dead. Was it something I did? Was it something you said? Don't leave me hangin' in a city so dead. Held up so high on such a break a thread."

Pietro handed Kagome the paper that tells her everything. Kagome read over it her face of worry turned into one of anger. She looked back up Pietro with anger.

(K) "You were all the things I thought I knew and I thought we could be. You were everything, everything that I wanted. We were ment to be, supposed to be. But we lost it. All of our memories so close to me just fade away. All this time you were pretending! So much for my happy ending! Oh, oh, So much for my happy ending! Oh, oh!"

Pietro looked back into her eyes, starting to look angry himself.

(P) "You've got your dumb friends. I know what they say. They say I'm difficult but so are they. But they don't know me! Do they even know you?!"

(K) "All the things you hide from me! All the shit that you do! You were all the things I thought I knew and I thought we could be. You were everything, everything that I wanted! We were ment to be, supposed to be! But we lost it. All of our memories so close to me just fade away! All this time you were pretending! So much for my happy ending! It's nice to know that you were there! Thank for acting like you care and making me feel like I was the only one. It's nice to know we had it all! Thanks for watching as I fall and letting me know we were done.

(K) "[He was everything, everything that I wanted!] We were ment to be, supposed to be! But we lost it. All of our memories so close to me just fade away. All this time you were pretending! So much for my happy ending! So much for my happy ending! You were everything, everything that I wanted! We were ment to be, supposed to be! But we lost it. All of our memories so close to me just fade away! All this time you were pretending! So much for my happy ending! Oh, oh! "So much for my happy ending!"

Kagome then turned on her heel as started to walk off crying as Pietro started to walk off in the other direction with his hands in his pockets. He then felt something hit back of his head he turned around and looked down at saw the ring he had bought her laying in the dim light of street lamps on the ground. He picked it up and looked up to see Kagome's back towards him running off.

"So much for my happy ending." Pietro said, putting the ring in his pocket.

Up in a tree sat four people. One was Kikyou, one was Ranma, one was Shippou, and the last one was Azumi. They watched on as they went their own ways. They looked at each other for a little bit before talking about it.

"So it seems Pietro broke up with her to protect her." Kikyou said, looking at the other Elementals.

"He has a better heart than I give him credit for but I'm still going hurt him for hurting Kagome." Ranma said, making a fist.

"Calm down, Ranma. Once this Magneto person finds out what happed things will get bad. We need to protect Kagome more now than ever." Azumi said, leaning on Shippou.

"Agreed. And a cording to our little spy, our blood sucking spy, we may also need to watch over Pietro." Shippou said, putting an arm around Azumi.

"Speaking of that bug... Where did Myouga go? I haven't seen him in while." Ranma said, looking at Shippou.

"Knowing him who knows. I just hope he's doing his job." Kikyou said, jumping down from the tree followed by the others.

"Kikyou, there was something that's been eating at me for a while. You said you wanted to die with Inu-Yasha but here you still remain. Why is that?" Shippou asked, looking up at the dead miko.

"It does not concern you, Shippou." Kikyou said, starting to walk out of the park.

"Maybe it's because she fell in love with Kouga." Azumi whispered into Shippou's ear.

"You think so?" Shippou asked as Azumi nodded her head.

"Shuddup." Kikyou said, picking up her pace.

"OOOO! She did!" the three chimed with big grins on their faces.

[Little in grants!] Kikyou thought, walking even fast as shade pink ran across her face.

"While were on this subject of love... Azumi, do you think y-your father w-w-would approve o-of us g-getting married?!" Shippou asked, rubbing the back of his head, turning pink as he looked at the ground.

"Why, Shippou, are you asking me... To marry you?!!" Azumi asked turning pink herself, looking at Shippou go even pinker.

"W-w-well, uh, yeah... I-I've mean meaning to ask you f-for a while but... Not around your father." Shippou said, looking at Azumi with a big smile.

"Well, I guess my answer is yes. If father doesn't kill you that is! Hahaha! Uh, Shippou! Shippou, I was only kidding about father! Oh, Shippou!" Azumi said as Shippou turned blue in the face and looked forward in fear and shock, totally stiff.

"Not the best thing to say, was it?!" Ranma asked, looking at Shippou, waving a hand in front of the kitsune's face.

{Xavier institution}

"Waaaah!! (sniff hic)." Kagome cried into her pillow as Jean, Kitty, and Rogue stood in the door.

"Poor Kagome. She was really in love with him." Jean said, looking at Kagome crying.

"I told her that Pietro was trouble. Now look at her. She's like a total mess." Kitty said, leaning up against the door frame.

"I'm gonna ring, tat jerk's neck for hurtin' 'er." Rogue said, making fist.

"Better yet better... Let Ranma do it. You've seen how he took Pietro out with just one punch a couple of weeks ago." Kitty said, looking at Rogue.

"Yeah, Ranma could do some damage if he wanted to. But I think we better leave Kagome alone though. Let her sort out her feelings." Jean said, looking at the other girls.

"Right." They said as they all started to leave.

Now that Kagome was alone she looked up from her pillow to the picture frame with Inu-Yasha, Pietro, and her in it. She grabbed the picture frame and opened the back and took out the picture of her and Pietro. She looked it at for a little while be for tearing it to shreds and throwing it away. How could that jackass do that to her? Build up her love and trust for him and then brake it. She wanted to just yell a bombardment of sits at him if he was Inu-Yasha. She put the picture frame back together and then laid back down on her bed picking up Kirara and put her on her belly.

"Oh, Kirara, I've made such a fool of myself falling for that pretender. Everyone was right about him but I was so sure he wasn't what they said he was. Now his father is after me to release some evil youkai and now I'm being guarded because of it. I should have listened to them." Kagome said, petting the two tailed cat.

{Boarding house}

"YOU IDIOT!! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOUR FATHER IS GOING TO DO ONCE I TELL HIM?!!" Mystique yelled, looking at Pietro solemn face as he stared at he floor.

"I don't care." Pietro said, never taking his eyes off the floor.

"Don't... Care...? Pietro your father is going to--"

"Kill me. I heard you and my father talking on the other phone in the other room." Pietro said, looking up at Mystique's face.

"How much?" Mystique asked, walking up closer to him.

"The last little bit about him killing me and Kagome off if we should get in his way. The way I feel right know I don't care if he DOES kill me. I feel awful. I would rather die then have Kagome be killed off when she has done nothing to deserve to die!" Pietro said, looking back down at the ground.

"Then you didn't hear that your father was coming in today. He'll be here very soon and you haul off and make a death wish!" Mystique yelled, grabbing hold of Pietro's shoulders.

"Why do you even care if I should die or not. It's common knowledge you've always hated me. Think of this as me getting off your back. You know what they say, out of sight, out of mind. Once I'm gone you don't have to think about me anymore." Pietro said, knocking Mystique's hands of his shoulders.

"Pietro..." Mystique said as Pietro slowly drudged up the steps.

"I don't want to hear it! Now just leave me alone, hag." Pietro said, disappearing at the top step as he turned down the hall.

['Hag?'] Mystique mused, blinking a couple of times, raising a brow at the comment.

{Pietro's room}

Pietro walked into his room and looked longingly at his messy bed and got into it. He lied down on his back and stared up at the ceiling with is hands behind his head on the pillow. He sighed as he thought about what he had done to Kagome. How could he have been such an idiot? Right now wished Kagome was in the room to say, 'Pietro, you are such an idiot.' Just so he would fell better. He then looked down at his shirt. He remember that instead of dinner with the prize she got from archery at school they would got to mall. She had bought him that shirt. It was bright red and baggy. Kagome said that it reminded her of a friend she may never see again.

Why had he chosen this night to wear this shirt? Was it because of Kagome and knowing wearing might make him feel better think about the time they had bought it to get his mind off the brake up? Or was there something else to it? He had also notice he was been wearing a lot of red things lately and Kagome seemed to like it. She said he looked good in red. Pietro then closed his eyes and heard the window creak open and something land on the windowsill. He thought he was his father coming to knock the shit out of him. Pietro sat up to look, only to see two people.

One was a woman with white hair, yellow eyes, a crescent moon on her forehead, dog-ears, a black body suit, white armor, a sword, and a filter mask on. The other was a man with black hair in a pigtail, brown eyes, a black body suit, orange armor, and filter mask on. The two people then stepped out of the window and walk towards him. Pietro narrowed his eyes at them. The man in orange armor walked up to Pietro with his eyes narrowed as will. He then raised his hand and slapped Pietro in face.

"You idiot! How dare you do that to Kagome! Remember I said I'd hurt you if you hurt her!" the man spat as Pietro wiped the blood from the side of his mouth.

"Ranma? Nice getup! Where'd you get it?" Pietro asked as Ranma removed the filter mask.

"We are the Elementals. Ranma here is our newest recruit to protect the demon grave that your father longs after. My name is Azumi." Azumi said walking up to Pietro.

"Ranma, you're with them?" Pietro asked, looking at Ranma's stern face.

"Here. Put this on." Ranma said, throwing Pietro the same type suit he and Azumi are wearing with red armor complete with filter mask.

"We watched you tonight, Pietro. You care for her. You would even die for her. You said and I quote, 'I would rather die then have Kagome be killed off when she has done nothing to deserve to die!' end quote." Azumi said, looking at Pietro's shocked eyes.

"You were spying on m-- OUCH!!" Pietro yelled, feeling something bite the side of his neck.

(SWAT)

"What the..." Pietro said, after swatting the thing that bit him and looked down at the weird looking thing on the palm of his hand.

"No, I wasn't us that spied on you. It was that flea demon in your hand there." Azumi said, looking at flea sit up and shake his head.

"Flea, eh?" Pietro asked, looking at the flea in his hand.

"Hm. Yes, my name is Myouga. I had been watching your father for the longest time. He is planning to take Lady Kagome tonight." Myouga said, looking at the talking flea in surprise.

"What?! Tonight?!" Pietro asked, looking at Ranma and Azumi.

"That suit and armor there is given to you. You, as is Ranma, are new comers to the Elements. Both of you are temporary though." Myouga said, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.

"So, put the suit on! We're the only ones that can hopefully stop him here at the mansion. The others are back at the grave on watch." Azumi said, walking back to the window and jumped down.

"All right." Pietro said, taking suit and armor into his hands.

/-/ A/N Well, that was the eleventh chapter. I hope its getting to be more fun. Buh Bye!/-/
