PROLOGUE
Author's note: Thanks you to all my reviewers! Cookies for all that reviewed! By the way, I know how some authors don't continue if they don't get many reviews. But I'm not like that! I continue anyways! Even if the majority don't like it!
I do not own anything in this ficcy except the plotline, the two main characters, and….That's it.
LAST TIME:
"I will be back. I will kill you then."
The three forms disappeared into Namida's body, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
THIS TIME:
Hikaru shook the water off her body and crawled over to Namida. She poked the girl's cheek and said, "Hey, wake up! I know you're alive, I can sense your spirit!"
Namida's fingers twitched, but there was no other movement. She was out cold. Hikaru sat next to her and tried to remember where the closest pokemon center was. Thankfully, Hikaru had a near perfect memory. She picked up Namida, closed her eyes, and disappeared, reappearing in front of a pokemon center.
The doors of the center slid open as Hikaru ran through them. She quickly made her way up to the front desk, where Nurse Joy was.
"M-may I…help you?" Nurse Joy stuttered, taking a step away from the counter.
"This girl's hurt, and I really don't know what to do with her…" Hikaru smiled sheepishly.
"Um... I-I'll have Chansey take care of her," Nurse Joy hesitantly smiled back at Hikaru.
Two Chanseys wheeled out a stretcher and Hikaru placed Namida on it. She was wheeled into the examination room.
"After the initial examination, she'll be placed in room 26 on the sixth floor. You may go up there and wait, or you may get something to eat in our dining area. You do look skinny," Nurse Joy explained.
"C-Can I watch the examination?" Hikaru asked.
"Sorry, but only the Chanseys and I are allowed in the examination room. If it will help, I assure you that she is in good hands," Nurse Joy frowned.
"Oh… Okay…" Hikaru sighed. She shuffled off to the dining area to near clear out their kitchen. It was like she had a saiyan appetite!
After she was finished eating, not only were the cooks glad, but the examination was over. She followed the Chanseys as they wheeled Namida up to room 26 on the sixth floor.
For seven days, Namida slept, and in those seven days, Hikaru never left the room. Except when she had to use the restroom. Once a day, in the middle of the night, so no one knew. Anyways, people became worried that she hadn't come out to eat. People had stepped in just long enough to set a tray of food down by the bad and run out, only to return an hour later and find it uneaten. Hikaru sat in a chair by the bed, watching Namida sleep for seven days.
On the evening of the seventh day, Hikaru noticed Namida's eyes flickering open.
"You're awake!" Hikaru cried, leaping on top of Namida in a big hug.
"Whet the hell happened, Hikaru?" Namida asked, wasting no time.
"Well," Hikaru started, "it was like you were possessed. It was freaky. The person you turned into was a big meany. He had a freakishly long tongue, too, now that I think about it…"
"Oh, him again… Why can't he just leave me alone?" Namida sighed, more to herself than to Hikaru.
"He's…possessed you before?" Hikaru asked, sitting up on top of Namida's legs.
"He…is a pest. I need to find an exorcist to get rid of him for me," Namida explained, sitting up and leaning back on her hands.
"Oh, can I help? I want to help you! Please?" Hikaru asked leaning in so that their faces were close. Really close. Too close for Namida's comfort. She turned her head to the side and pushed Hikaru backwards a little, a bit of color appearing on her face.
"Sure, if you really want to. I need to find my sister. She was possessed as well, and I obtained one of the spirits that possessed her. She is the Great Evil. Before she was possessed, we were the closest sisters in the world. My father was killed last year, so my sister and mother were all I had. But then, an evil man named Orochimaru left a mark on my sister's shoulder. He left one on me, but began to fade. I didn't realize it, but when Orochimaru's body failed him, his spirit took mine. Anyways, our family had a reunion, and I left to pick something up. I came back, and the house was in chaos. I didn't understand what happened, and then I heard my mother and sister arguing. They had never argued before! Then my sister killed my mom, beat me up, and left me for dead," Namida explained.
Hikaru just stared at the girl stupidly, trying, but failing, to soak in all the information. "What?"
Namida sighed, and contracted her story quite a bit. "My sister was possessed, killed everyone in my family but me, I'm possessed by and evil man named Orochimaru. If I don't get him exorcised, I'll be completely possessed the day I turn 20 years old. I have one month."
"Hot damn, man. That's not much time!" Hikaru breathed. "Where would this exorcist be? I can get you there fast!"
"Exactly HOW would we get there faster than walking?" Namida asked.
"I c'n teleport. But I don't know much about teleporting conscious humans, though. Mostly all I've ever done is small pokemon and unconscious humans that need help… Do you want to try it?" Hikaru asked.
"I guess… Tell me what to do," Namida hesitantly replied.
"Hold onto my hand, all right? And concentrate on the other side of the room!" Hikaru smiled, standing up on the floor and holding her right hand out to Namida.
Namida hesitated. She didn't know whether to trust this girl or not. She slowly put her hands on top of Hikaru's and closed her eyes, hoping for the best.
"Put all your other thoughts away, Namida. I need you to focus on nothing but the other side of the room," Hikaru smiled. She placed her left hand on top of Namida's head, closed her eyes, and they disappeared.
They reappeared on the other side of the room with only a slight problem. Just a little one. Namida's clothes had been left behind.
"Oh my God!" Hikaru shouted, turning away from the nude girl. Her face was a very bright, deep red, and there was a little blood trickling from her nose. She had turned away quickly, but she had still seen everything.
Namida shrieked and ran back to the bed. She shoved her clothes back on quickly, and turned to face Hikaru. Her face was almost as red as Hikaru's. But not quite. "Hikaru…" she started, causing the girl to turn around. Namida noticed that she had swept an arm over her face before she turned around. She ignored it and continued. "Why did that happen, Hikaru? Why the hell were my clothes left behind?"
"I...I don't know… I'm used to teleporting unconscious humans… Did… Did you think of something else before we teleported? Were you thinking of something other than the other side of the room? That might be it…" Hikaru attempted to explain.
"I WAS FOCUSED!" Namida shouted. Then she regained her composure. "Let's try again. If it doesn't work the second time, we won't use it to travel, okay?"
Hikaru nodded, walked back to Namida, took a second to regain her composure, and held out her hand to Namida. Namida took it quickly this time and closed her eyes.
They teleported to the other side of the room, this time they had clothes and all.
"So. How far can you go? How often? What are your limits?" Namida asked after they appeared on the other side of the room.
"I don't know my limits in distance. I can teleport five times an hour. After that, I'm too tired to teleport again," Hikaru answered.
"Great. We should get going then," Namida decided.
"Um…But... I-It's dark outside… I mean, I can teleport in the dark...but… I mean, if you don't mind..." Hikaru mumbled.
"Me? Afraid of the dark? Yeah, right! I got over that years ago!" Namida boasted. But then she saw the look on Hikaru's face. "But, if you don't want to go, we can wait till morning," Namida added quickly.
"Eh…eh-heh… Not that I'm afraid…or anything…" Hikaru muttered.
"Look, we'll go in the morning, okay?" Namida patted Hikaru's shoulder and gave the faintest, tiniest, smallest hint of a smile.
"Oh…uh... If you insist, then…" Hikaru smiled. She sat on the chair next to the bed.
Namida looked around and noticed that her bed was the only one in the room. "Hikaru… Do you have someplace to sleep? Like a bed or anything?" Namida asked, concerned.
"Not really. But I'll be fine. You just go ahead and use the bed. You're the one who needs it, not me," Hikaru smiled.
Namida turned off the lights and crawled into the bed, pretending to fall asleep. She felt something on the foot of the bed and looked up slightly to see what it was. Hikaru was curled up into a ball, staring at the door. Namida sighed and fell into a deep sleep. Hikaru sensed this, and crawled up to look at Namida's face.
"You're a strange girl…" Hikaru smiled. She pulled the covers over Namida's shoulder and crawled back down to the foot of the bed. She stretched out on her back, her legs dangling over the edge, and stared at the ceiling, wondering what this adventure would be like.
HaHA! THE END! Of chapter two…So what WILL the adventure be like? Comical? Tragic? Action-filled? Romantic? A mixture of all four of those, plus a little drama? But you know, only the all-powerful AUTHOR-SAMA (in this case, Shidou Hikaru, daimyo no Saiya-jin, which happens to be ME. -nods- yepyep.) know the answer to that question! But here's one that you can answer! WHY DO YOU CARE!
