I know I should be updating my Lyserg based fiction but I had a few family matters to take care of and the urge to add more to this fanfiction came on me so I did. Again the formatting... don't ask me I haven't a clue -.-;...
Ok this (or at least a good bit of this chapter) is going from episode 50 and on I had to manage the time a bit so that I could arrange the dates in a manner that I could work with so yeah… according to my time by the middle of this chapter or so they have been in Patch Village for two months… alright no need to talk longer
"Christine, I was wandering if a Patch might be hiding out around these parts, he was supposed to be on kitchen duty this week but I haven't seen him and he'd been acting a little strange lately. If you would could you maybe take some time to look for Nichrome?" Silva had asked Christine
"Sure, if I see him or anything I'll tell you." She answered, it was about time the Patch gave her something to do, she had had a few disturbances from Hao but nothing was very clear and she did want to make herself useful somehow seeing as Hilda had gotten a job bussing tables at the Patch café to get some money flowing in for the group to have food with.
"So how exactly do you plan to find this guy?" Koncho asked
"Well, I don't know, gotta start somewhere, so let's just ask every shaman we see!" Christine said beginning the hours of asking shaman after shaman
"Well, I'm not sure but a lot of shamans lately have been disappearing, if ya' got any friend ya' better stick by em' kid."
"I wonder if that has anything to do with Nichrome being missing." Christine said thinking aloud
"Wouldn't doubt it, bet Hao has something to do with all of it." Drotoro sneered
When the group was tougher for dinner, which had been one of the only times lately when everyone had a chance to talk and usually they didn't talk about much of anything really.
"Ok, so anything new with anyone?" Blake would ask this every night
"Popped on the butt by customers, poured coffee on the pigs…" Hilda answered plainly
"Training." Remington said
"Boredom, haven't found a clever way to make a good use of being a ghost yet, I will eventually but with my muse working so hard lately I've gotten nothing." Charger answered
"Well, if you don't like your muse as you call me, working oh so hard then why don't you try to make yourself useful?" Hilda said
"Too much work gets in the way of thinking." Charger said simply
"Actually, I don't do much, I just sit on my ass all day and get other people to work then get pied for it, luckily I work with a lot of guys, occasionally like today I bus a table. Christine you really should get a job there it's not a bad place" Smirked Hilda
"Really? Heh, I could use something to do." Christine said
"Uhh… no Christine hates being around food! She wants to work at an antique store… where there aren't nazi fem-bots." Blake said nudging Christine because he had realized if she worked there she'd be the only one of the two actually working, and that Hilda was messing with her.
"Nazi, Fem-bot you say?" Hilda looked at Blake rather intimidating
"Blake, under the table…" Remington said going under the table and slowly pulling Blake with him, he could tell when Hilda might decide she wants to beat the crap out of the nearest guy.
"Umm so…" Aaralyn said looking under the table where the boys had hid
"Blake, your hand is on my leg…" Christine said
"S-sorry…" Blake said from under the table in a bit of a snicker
"Uhh, Blake your hand is still on my leg, and, and now you're moving it up my leg and Blake, Blake stop!" Christine said jumping up from the table
"Yeah don't make me come under there." Hilda laughed at Christine's expression
"G-get out from under the table you two." Aaralyn said
"But Hilda might kill us!" the two argued
"I will if you don't get out from under the table." She said
"OK!" the two said scrambling out from underneath the table
"Did anyone hear about the shamans disappearing lately?" Christine asked this after everyone had settled down a bit
"Yeah, I heard a few things at the café but it's not like we should care much right?" Hilda said
"Well as long as we're all here I guess not, but Silva asked for me to help look for this Nichrome guy and I think it might be connected." Christine explained
"Now, now I wouldn't assume much if I were you, I only want to help." A stranger had appeared in the room, looked to be a member of the Patch
"Just who are you?" Remington had his gun oversouled and pointing at the Patch
"I am Nichrome, the tenth priest, yes it is I Silva sent you to look for, but I have more important things to do than kitchen work."
"But, I can tell Silva I sorta found you right?" Christine asked
"Actually this has nothing to do with Silva, Nyorai-sama wanted me to tell you of her, she can help you with your inner darkness." Blake was about to say something and seemed offended but before he could Nichrome spoke again "Everyone, has an inner darkness so don't act like you don't Nyorai-sama can help you with that." Before Blake or anyone could say anything else Nichrome had disappeared.
"Who's that wannabe manic talking about darkness, inner darkness is for weak whiny kids who can't get over the past and are overly self conscious." Hilda said
"I guess I should tell Silva I saw him." Christine said
"I'll go with you." Blake said
"Be careful out there, that guy was nuts, and the Nyorai chick sounded even more nuts." Remington said
"We'll be fine Remy." Blake laughed
The two had rounded the corner of the Patch hotel and no sooner did Jenna just happen to walk up
"Fancy seeing you two here." She said smiling
"Oh sure it is." Koncho huffed
"What do you want now?" Blake asked
"I was just wandering if either of you had asked Elizabeth yet, but yeah I'm guessing she might have told you, both your parents were going to arrange things between the two of you."
"Oh, so that's why Onterrie was such a familiar name to me, I remember Stella saying something about Christine going to be introduced to an Onterrie when she was 13, and something about marriage and keeping a line of shamans going." Elizabeth said, it's not that she had forgotten these things but she didn't want the two to feel like they had to get married for their parents.
"Is that all?" Blake asked
"Yeah I forgot all about it but you talk about it like it's something serious, our parents just knew a good match when they saw one is all." Christine said
"You two won't last very long, I was hoping that information might make you two want to call it quits, or at least make Blake feel like he's got the right to pimp you off, but yeah whatever, I noticed Nichrome paid you two a visit, he told you about Nyorai didn't he?"
"What do you know about Nyorai?" Christine asked
"And I would not pimp Christine off to anyone so shove it." Blake said
"Well cuz', her team's name is Dilade, they used to appear everywhere as nameless people but they've taken in many shamans and won match after match. The leader's name is Nyorai and they pretty much tell people they 'there is darkness in your heart'; Hao-sama doesn't seem interested so I don't really care about them. I do know where they frequent but after being told to shove it I suppose I'll just shove that information."
"What the heck do they mean by there is darkness in your heart?" Koncho scoffed
"Pretty much any part of us we refuse to accept and keep inside, meh, rubbish if you ask me." Jenna said walking away
"She always pops up in the worst times." Blake said sighing
"Eh so our parents…" Christine said
"Should have clued us in on crap." Blake laughed
"I can't believe you thought it would bug us Elizabeth." Christine teased the spirit
"I can't believe you forgot to ask me." Elizabeth said
Blake and Christine told Silva about seeing Nichrome but spared him the details on Dilade because it was getting late and they didn't want to be out after dark.
"Blake, Christine!" Hilda came running up to the two, "Aaralyn and I can't find Remy's dumbass anywhere!"
"The kid is gone." Charger said
"He wouldn't just leave and not tell anyone anything especially Aaralyn, the two are only seen apart rarely." Lester said
"That's weird…" Christine said
"You did check the bathroom right?" Blake asked laughing
"DON'T YOU THINK IF HE WAS IN THE BATHROOM I WOULD HAVE KNOWN?" Lester yelled
"Calm down dude I was just joking, I'm sure he's around here somewhere, he can't have gotten far." Blake said
"So let's go get Aaralyn and start looking for him kay?" Christine said
"He's probably missing for some stupid reason anyway." Hilda scoffed
After somehow managing to get Aaralyn out of the hotel room to go with them, they started the search for Remington.
"I think we should find out more about Dilade, if we haven't found him by now they might have something to do with his disappearance." Manny said
"Well, we know a lot about them, besides where they stay." Blake pointed out
"Maybe we should tell an official about this…" Aaralyn said
"Yeah, but they're all busy looking for Nichrome and handling other stuff, that'll be a back up plan." Blake said
"Change of heart?" Nichrome had come across the group and overheard them talking about finding the place
"Well, I guess you could call it that, can you take us to this… Nyorai?" Hilda said in a sweet tone, to the others it was obvious she was faking it but Nichrome having not know her didn't know this and took them there.
"There sure as hell is enough people here." Blake said in a low tone "How the hell should we be able to find him in all this?"
"All these people are acting weird…" Aaralyn said
"Some of them are about to be consumed by the darkness in their heart." Nichrome said
"Well, whatever now that we're here I can finally tell you to shut the fuck up and stop being a dumbass!" Hilda said she looked like she would jump Nichrome at any second
"Everyone has a darkness in their heart." A rather cute girl said Christine figured this was Nyorai
"That's bullshit, my heart is just fine the only darkness in my heart is the blood pumping through it." Hilda laughed a bit
"Is that so, you always worry about how it's going to be patching things up with daddy."
"I do not, I worry about nothing I'm so happy look at my smile I'm so damn happy!" Hilda said
"Uhh Hilda, that's not what a smile looks like…" Manny pointed out
"So damn happy…" Hilda said in a low tone
"And you," Nyorai pointed to Aaralyn "Why can't you seem to tell him, why can't you ever overcome your shyness for the person you love?"
"Well, I'm sure if Remington were here he'd tell you that's none of your business and to leave her alone you twat!" Hilda growled
"He is here." Blake said walking up holding Remington "God, that boy is heavy too"
"Thank-god Blake, this chick is really getting on my nerves, let's go!" Hilda said
"But, I'm not finished yet, someone's scared to death of Hao, with that mindset she'll never accomplish her goals, too bad she's also scared of family members."
"So what?" Christine asked knowing Nyorai was talking about her
"And that boy who just can't stop thinking about what the other x-laws think of him."
"You don't know a damned thing about any of us… go bother someone else." Blake said, the group turned around and quietly walked off but in the back of everyone's mind they knew the things Nyorai had said were true.
Remington had woken up not too long after they got back to the hotel but said he didn't remember a thing.
"That Nyorai has some nerve." Hilda said she was still ticked off about the whole thing but so was everyone else.
"I might be scared of Hao but Jenna doesn't faze me one bit." Christine said
"And I don't give a crap what the other x-laws think."
"There's no way I have… daddy issues." Hilda smirked
"Well I guess we call it a night, need to train tomorrow anyway but at this rate there won't be many shamans left to fight." Remington said
"Wait, that's what all this is about, if everyone is your ally there's no one opposing you so you have to win." Blake said
"That means, Dilade's trying to win without fighing, pretty cleaver but the shaman fight is a test of strength and they're screwing it over." Lester said
"We really should tell Silva about this." Christine said
"Why not doesn't look like anyone's getting any sleep easily tonight anyway." Blake agreed
"Well, Hilda is anyway." Aaralyn said glancing over at Hilda
"She doesn't worry about idiotic people like the lot of you do." Charger laughed a bit "Because her mind is stronger than any of yours I bet."
"Charger, don't make me have to go find someone to cross you over." Blake said
"You wouldn't, you're too scared of Hilda's wrath!" Charger said smirking
"Fuck you!" Blake snapped
"When and where?"
"Both of you shut the hell up!" Skya said sternly
"I agree with Skya…" Elizabeth said
"And I don't think Hilda's exactly sleeping…" Angeni said looking over at Hilda who looked like she was saying something
"I'm not this little kid, I can bear responsibility ask anyone teachers friends even Ana she'd tell you I can take care of stuff now I'm not the little kid I was when mom died… YOU DON'T HAVE A DAMN CLUE ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE ALL YOU WANT OUT OF ME IS A COPY OF YOU! I AM WALKING OFF SCREW YOU!"
"I think she's hallucinating…" Remington said
"You think huh?" Drotoro said sarcastically
"Should we snap her out of it?" Blake asked
"No way dude, for one thing we probably won't be able to, and if I remember right it's not the best idea to do that it's like waking a person up in the middle of sleepwalking, besides I want to know where this is going."
"HILDA!" Charger yelled ignoring Remington saying to let her be
"Hilda, you're too strong to be doing like this… you need to snap out of it the past is in the past, and you usually say that, if you were yourself right now you would and if you don't snap out of it I'll have to make you…" Christine had gotten up and slapped Hilda across the face much to everyone's shock
"Why did you just hit my muse?" Charger asked offended
"Because, that's what she would have done if she were in my place." Christine said, this was very true
"Well she's quiet now, but what do we do?" Aaralyn asked
"We go back to pay Dilade another visit, this time I want Nyorai to give me a damn good explanation of why she's doing this." Christine said
"I thought we were going to Silva about it all, don't you think it's a bit much for us to get involved with?" Aaralyn seemed concerned
"Look Aaralyn I know you think it's risky, and it probably is but for now I'm sure Silva and the others have done what they can and worrying them with more problems won't help much. Besides, there are some challenges we're going to have to do without outsider's help, I know you don't want to take the risk, you've got some of the best judgment of all of us but there's not much else we can do in this case." Christine explained
"All, all right then." Aaralyn agreed and the group set off once again for Dilade
"Back already?" Nichrome asked
"We want to know what the hell you freaks did to Hilda!" Charger demanded
"We saved her; you can only overcome the darkness in your heart by first embracing it." Nichrome said
"If I can save you all you're all welcome to be members of Dilade." Nyorai said
"Alright, we'll hear you out; better make it worth our time." Blake said
Before Christine had realized it she had fallen asleep it was weird because she didn't remember being tired but the word Nyorai had spoken earlier. Someone's scared to death of Hao, with that mindset she'll never accomplish her goals, and too bad she's also scared of family members. "I am though, it's true I'm scared of a lot of things, Hao, Jenna, heights, bugs, failure, boys used to be a fear as well… but I suppose mostly I'm scared of death, I wonder if there is a heaven and my parents are there what they think of who I've become… why hasn't my walk in life made me stronger?" Christine said this to herself
Blake had also felt himself slowly drift off to sleep within minutes Nyorai's words also echoing through his head. And that boy who just can't stop thinking about what the other x-laws think of him. "It's true, I do… I love Christine, even though it's stil hard me to say so without blushing or some gay crap… and what I have now, not being an x-law now seems great but Meene was like an older sister to me and I can't stand the thought of her hating me…"
Remington was the next to go. The boy is filled with worry, about Aaralyn, his friends, what's going to happen if he loses the fight, won't he be letting a lot of people who sacrificed so much for him down. Aaralyn might not think of him the way he thinks of her, what should happen if either is to die? Maybe if once in a while he opened up to others around him… "I suppose I do worry a bit much, and I don't tell others but why tell others and get them involved in my problems it'll cause more problems."
Hilda was already out beforehand. Is that so, you always worry about how it's going to be patching things up with daddy. "I can only hope, he's changed as much as I have since then, I could always ask Ana for help but she's done so much for me since mom died, I'm scared that if I go back now he'll get like he used to get back then, unless he hasn't already."
Aaralyn didn't take long to do the same as the others. Why can't you seem to tell him, why can't you ever overcome your shyness for the person you love? "Because, I love him and I want him to make the call, and not feel like he's obligated into it because he's always been there for me and doesn't want to disappoint me, I love Remy and I have faith that he'll make the move when he's ready, when we're both ready. I've been shy all my life, it's something I've slowly grown to accept regardless of it's setbacks. It should be my darkness but I guess it's all in how I consider it and if I don't consider it as a darkness then it won't be." It didn't take Aaralyn long to wake up "Nyorai, thank-you." She said
"I see that I have eliminated the darkness in your heart? You are now a member of Dilade." Nyorai said
"No, that's not what you did, and no I refuse to join. What you did was make me realize I have no darkness as long as I don't consider it that way. All this time you've been running around telling people you eliminated the darkness in their heart, when really all you did was re surface old wounds then push them back under, it's all a scam for the shaman fight."
"Nice one kid, pretty observant… you keep your mouth shut and gather the facts around you, good strength you have there. Too bad you're too shy to use it to be helpful to those around you."
"I am helpful to those around me, we're a team, we're friends me just being there sometimes is all they need, I fell better about myself keeping it that way, I don't have to think of anything the way you tell me too."
"If you say so, ask your friends in the morning for their point of view on things it'll be different, I should get some sleep, my team is fighting Team the Ren tomorrow, it should prove to be a very good match, I'm sure you'll have a change of heart after that." Nyorai walked away leaving Aaralyn surrounded by the others all asleep, and that's where she stayed all night, didn't sleep at all just stayed up to keep an eye out for things. Oddly she wasn't scared for a second that night, she had this weird feeling of safeness even though the group was well off from any other soul and the only ones around to keep her company were the ghosts.
It was daytime and the others still hadn't awoken but she figured they had to soon but couldn't stay awake much longer and no sooner did Remington start to stir and say her name did Aaralyn fall asleep.
"About time you woke up… it's like you stayed up all night, geze I can't remember a thing about last night either besides waking up and not being in bed." Remington said, Aaralyn had found herself back in the hotel room.
"So yeah I hear Dilade, got it's can kicked by Team The Ren, I'm glad we didn't go to see them again after all, Aaralyn I've got to say you have the best judgement." Christine said, it was like everyone else had forgotten all about last night besides Aaralyn, she decided not to bring it up since everyone seemed happy now, why bring up stuff that could only hurt anyway? Aaralyn herself felt much stronger because of what had happened the night before and felt a strange thing inside her, confidence, she wanted to tell Remington that night what her true feelings were for him this time she wouldn't turn back she wasn't scared.
"Remy, I, I love you, I always have, not sibling love either, the special love only two people in the whole world can share for one another, if you don't feel the same way don't feel obligated to me I will understand but I've kept it secret for far too long."
"Aaralyn, I, I have had this feeling also I had always wanted to tell you but I always thought it would be something that would scare you away."
The two couldn't bring themselves to tell the others about this just yet but figured they'd all catch on eventually, but they weren't the type to announce such things.
A few weeks had passed and the group had now been in Patch Village for two months and finally after all that waiting got information about their shaman fight.
"We'll be fighting some team named, Acid Plutonium, Zeal is such a better name, there's no way we'll lose." Blake said happily
"Finally, it's about time we got a fight, we've gotten pretty strong if I say so myself, this'll be a synch." Remington said
"I hope so, I don't want to lose." Aaralyn said
"We won't even come close!" Blake said happily
"Check out the date." Skya said
"February 24th." Blake said
"Yeah, you're birthday, Blake" Skya said again wandering if Blake could remember any date
"Oh yeah, just means more luck for us!" Blake said
"What kind of idiot forgets his own birthday?" Charger laughed
"If you weren't already dead I'd kill you! And for your information, the kind that doesn't really give a crap." Blake said
"Here we go again…" Christine sighed; Blake and Charger had the habit of randomly striking up arguments with one another
Blake kept the same optimism that the other team would lose solely because he didn't like their name all the way until the day of the fight, he still trained but his ego had really inflated.
"Team Acid Plutonium Vs, Team Zeal!" An official said over a patch crafted microphone. finally they would get to see the people they were fighting
"Why, Remington didn't expect to see you here." A man said
"No way…" Remington said
"I'll take it from that you didn't expect to see us either, we've learned a lot of tricks since way back when, we could make Dareh look like a total sissy now, you'll regret killing him."
"These are…" Aaralyn said
"Dareh's lackeys! Didn't think we'd see them figured they'd be scared of us after we took out Dareh… luckily for us we've gotten stronger since then too." Remington said
"Hi, name's Blake and I'll be helping beat you today." Blake said to one of the men.
"FIGHT!" the official called at once everyone engaged an oversoul
"Sorry boy but we can't let you be taken out first!" One of the men said this to Blake before he duplicated himself and made a human chain around Blake. Blake tried to break out and wondered why the man hadn't started attacking him. "I should properly introduce myself, the name's Tim and I was given strict orders to keep you here while my friends take out your friends as revenge for what they did to Dareh, we don't intend to kill you and want to keep as less bloodshed as possible but your team will be defeated."
"You people sicken me!" Blake said trying to attack but realized he had to save as much strength as he possibly could.
"Well kiddies, the names are Aaron and Beret. We already both know your names so there's no need for you to introduce yourselves, but for what you did to Dareh, you will pay." One of the men addressed Remington and Aaralyn.
"Aaralyn, I want you to break Blake out, I'll hold these punks off as long as I can." Remington said aiming his gun at Aaron and Beret.
"Gotcha Remy!" Aaralyn used her ribbon to propel her in the air and slice one on the people in the chain around Blake in two, but also automatically another one appeared, and Aaralyn was hit in the back by Aaron whom had slipped by Remington when Beret was keeping him busy.
Aaralyn almost instantly was back on her feet and returned the favor to Aaron before Remington had realized Aaralyn had been hit
"Pretty fast there…" Aaron said
"You care too much about each of the three of you do." Beret said "You'd put your life on the line for one another, as admirable as it is it's not something that's going to help you, love saves nothing."
"You're wrong." Aaralyn said
"You will both pay for what you did to Dareh!" Aaron said attacking Aaralyn who was able to easily escape the blast, the three had gotten more powerful but they were still pretty weak.
"We killed Dareh because he was making us kill innocent shamans and we didn't want to be pushed around anymore, I'm sorry that none of you three would have done the same if you were in our position!" Remington said
"You didn't know Dareh and you didn't have to kill him, he had reasons for all he did!" Aaron argued
"Reasons for kidnapping two underage shamans and having them do his dirty work for him so he could have an easy tournament win? I don't call any reason justifiable for that!" Remington said he was growing more and more impatient with these men and hit Aaron and sent him flying to the other end of the arena
"What Dareh did was wrong but he was still our master and savior and no matter how wrong he was he must be avenged!" Beret said pulling Aaralyn closer to him and holding his blade over her neck "Disengage your oversoul now or else I'll kill her first and rub your face in her blood then kill you and the other boy!"
"THE OTHER BOY'S BROKEN FREE!" Tim yelled
"SHIT!" Beret said after being sliced across the back by Blake and losing his grip on Aaralyn who kicked him in the face, but Tim and Aaron didn't take long to head straight for Aaralyn but Blake and Remington countered them, Tim's oversoul being the first to break.
"He must have wasted his power on the human chain thing!" Remington said smirking
"He didn't matter anyway; the two of us can easily take the lot of you three out." Beret said enlarging his oversoul; this gave Blake Remington and Aaralyn the cue to use their big oversouls.
Aaron quickly followed them all by enlarging his oversoul, but it wasn't nearly as big as most of the oversouls were. Aaron's oversoul didn't last very long either now all that was left was Beret to take down.
"Caring this much for each other won't get you far in the shaman fight and we shouldn't be the ones to fail for you to only fail!" Beret said
"Whoever said we'd fail?" Blake asked
"I did because you all care too much and love and kindness won't get you anywhere in life!"
"Love and kindness will get us wherever we can already go and then some, we'll always be able to watch one of our friend's backs for them and they'll watch our back, maybe if your team could have done that you'd be better off." Remington said landing a finaly blow on Beret along with Blake and Aaralyn.
"Winner, team Zeal!" the official said cheers exploded from what little of spectators there were at the arena that cloudy day. The three disengaged their oversouls to celebrate but no sooner than they did, did the fight official say "watch out!" Beret Aaron and Tim had three loaded hand guns aimed for the three, and nothing to lose.
"Move and you all die!" Beret said reaching for Aaralyn "We'll be taking the girl, have to get something out of this fight if not a win, surely you don't try to stop us now that your lives are in danger too!"
"You bastards!" Remington was now pissed he quickly oversouled once again shots rang out from the guns, somehow missing all three of them but it gave Aaralyn and Blake the clear to oversoul once again, but they kept shooting so Remington shot back and hit Beret who fell flat on the ground there was no way he lived through that.
Aaralyn was cornered by Aaron so she had no choice to land him a fatal blow. Blake was still being fired at by Tim he knew he couldn't dodge the bullets forever so he had to flatten him with his oversoul
"Team Zeal, just had to kill the losing team Acid Plutonium, in self defense so the win still stands!" The official called
"Shit I didn't want it to end like that." Blake cursed
"There wasn't much else we could do though." Remington said
"You all still owned out there." Hilda said "god they sucked." She laughed a bit
"They better have, geze you people too me out." Charger said smirking.
"That was one of the easiest fights ever, but hey pretty good though we're in the fight for another round." Aaralyn said
"Blake! Blake!" a failure voice yelled Blake turned to see Makei running up to them
"Yo, Makei long time no see!" Blake said
"I just saw the fight, you all did great!" she said happily
"Have you fought yours yet?" Christine asked
"Nope, mom and dad said my team and I are fighting some team called Black-bell, tomorrow afternoon."
"We'll defiantly come to see it and cheer you all on." Blake promised
"Great, you should meet my team sometime, mom and dad wanted me to ask you all if you and your friends wanted to come over for dinner tonight they put where we live on this piece of paper, so if you don't have anything better to do."
"Sure, why not?" Christine said "See ya' then."
"Who was that girl?" Remington asked
"Makei, I had a fight against her, she supposed to be a child prodigy, she seems pretty talented but her parents seem to control her goals for the shaman fight." Blake explained
"So I suppose this all means no one has to cook tonight?" Hilda asked
"Nope!" Christine said happily
"And I'm taking the night off, I'll just tell them I'm not in a friendly mood and they'll understand." Hilda said
"How could you not be in a friendly mood when you're never in a friendly mood?" Koncho asked Hilda
"Don't make me kill you again wolf boy." Hilda said laughing a bit at Koncho's gulp
The group went back to the hotel to rest a while before dinner that night, they didn't have too hard of a time finding Makei's room thanks to Remington.
"My team's name is Kumi." Makei explained
"Maro is the name and don't forget it." A shaman who looked like she was about 20 said, she had black hair and brown eyes, obviously Japanese.
"I'm Mayako." A shaman who looked like she was about 15 said, herself she also looked Asian but her hair had been dyed blonde
"I'm sorry my wife and I haven't introduced ourselves properly before, Yasuo Hickaru, and Shina Hickaru." Makei's father said
After everyone was done getting acquainted and food had been served somehow a discussion about Hao had gotten started "We're very happy that team Black-bell doesn't seem to be in workings with Hao, times have gotten very dangerous but we couldn't pull Makei out now she's committed herself to winning, we can only hope now someone takes Hao out before they end up in a match tougher, and if that's the case we'll have no choice but to pull her out." Shina explained
"Makei's gotten much stronger since the first round, just like yourself Blake, you'll be very surprised at some of the things she's picked up on." Yasuo said getting off the subject of Hao
"Makei must really possess a lot of power to be able to make it this far at her age." Remington said
"We're not sure what it is about her, but there are other shaman her age in the tournament we're only hoping she can take them out too." Yasuo said
"I think Maiden-sama is only a few months younger than her." Blake said
"The Iron-Maiden-Jeanne, leader of the x-laws?' Yasuo asked
"Yeah, that's her."
"I've seen her fight before, she's very powerful, we've considered joining the x-laws before but I think it might be a bit much for Makei, she's still only 9 years old." Shina said
"I was in the x-laws for a while, you're probably right in not allowing her to join them, their causes are right but it would probably be a bit hard on her." Blake said
"But that Yoh, Asakura boy, he's something else eh? I figure he'll be a pretty hard one for Makei to beat; I've wanted to meet him for quite some time after seeing him in action." Yasuo said
"We've had the chance to chat with him and his friends, very good group, if no one here were to make it to shaman king and he did I figure he'd make sure everyone's wishes came true, I also think he'd be the one to take out Hao, if no one else." Blake said
Before too long they had to say their goodbyes and head back to their hotel, it was getting late and Christine said there was something she wanted to give Blake for his birthday, among the other gifts he had been given from Christine and the others.
"Why won't you just tell us what you're giving him?" Remington asked
"Because for one thing, you'd tell him and for another I don't want to." Christine said
"She won't even tell me or Skya or any of the other ghosts." Koncho said
The group went into the hotel room and everyone went to bed as normally, noone knew what Christine had given Blake but the next morning they both seemed like they didn't sleep so much the night before which led Hilda to say
"Oh god, please tell me you stole a condom from me!"
"We didn't do anything like that!" Christine said
"So you didn't have sex?"
"No"
"oh thank god… you're not lying are you because if you are…"
"I'm not I swear I'm not."
"Ok then what'd ya' give him?"
"Not going to tell you."
"You didn't give him a blow job because I will…"
"It wasn't anything sexually Hilda!"
Hilda finally gave up on asking Christine what she had given him the night before, Remington had asked Blake, but after he told Hilda Blake wouldn't say Hilda figured they really didn't do anything because if they did Blake being a man would have bragged.
Everyone had calmed down when it was time for Makei's teams fight, it would prove to be a very good match, Makei was pretty powerful after all and her team ended up winning even though the match was pretty close.
Both the teams were going to celebrate the victory but Hilda didn't stick around she had said she didn't need to take so many days off.
Christine and the others were making their way back to their hotel someone randomly ran by dropping a neatly folded piece of paper at Christine's feet, they tried to chase after the person but it was just like they had disappeared, when they opened the piece of paper…
Hello again Christine and friends,
I must say I'm getting pretty risky with myself
to see that you get these letters I don't want to
be found out for a bit longer after all I did make
a promise to Stella about waiting until you're 14,
which isn't long from now a good two weeks or
so I'd say. You have all handled things very
well or as well As one could expect, congrats
to Aaralyn for the other day, she knows what
I'm talking about, it's Not for any of your
Concern so don't bother asking her about it,
and the three for their team's win.
Hope to finally meet you all in person.
See you when Christine is 14, I've been
Waiting a long time for this
Sincerely
A friend.
"This person is seriously starting to get weird." Koncho said
"It's almost like a stalker…" Manny said
"Well I guess we'll find out soon enough?" Christine said "and what did Aaralyn do?"
"Nothing, I don't have a clue what this guy is talking about." Aaralyn replied
And yeah already started on chapter 15 maybe about 4 chapters left of this fanfiction then it will leave you alone forever... and I realize I need to make a Hilda centric part because I'm worried about her well being as a character... in other words she needs more depth, she's not the easiest to write though.
As for Makei, her persona really dosen't get exposed because of such little story line she's actually involved in, but I figured haveing her enter would mostly be her parents idea because after all she is only 9 to this point in the story. The next chapter or the one after that should be hitting the fight between Hao and Yoh near the last episodes of the manga, but I have another two chapters or so after that before the story actually ends.
I want reviews..
I can't handle the reviews...
yes I know that.
