Sapphire Vixen
--By SunFireVixen--
Emerald: -glares at everyone-
Aqumarine: We'll be taking over today, Vixen's busy writing the 37th chapter.
Emerald: -continues to glare-
Aquamarine: She's just pissed because something bad happens to her.
Emerald: -makes rude hand gesture-
Aqumarine: -turns camera to her- This chapter is sort of a break between the next chapters, which will contain more action. -takes out gun-It's also just a small explanation to Kai's weird dreams. Oh, Vixen also says she is sorry that this chapter is pathetically short.
Emerald: -mutters- Got that right.
Aquamarine: ¬¬ shut up. Anyways, since Vixen isn't here, she can't answer reviews, instead, sh'es just making me say small thank you notes. -rolls eyes-
Emerald: You're all dorks! Nobody will guess that Sapphire's will actually be k-
Aquamarine: -smacks Emerald with a sack of potatoes-
Emerald: Oof! -falls into stand-by mode-
Aquamarine: -clears throat- I apologize for Emerald's rudeness. -turns around and takes out walkie-talkie- Anger management is not working, dammit! Get someone to get her out of here-
-smiles innocently at everybody-
-buff bodyguards drag Emerald away-
Aquamarine: -takes out post-it- Vixen also says the next chapter is much longer, so she hopes it will make it up for her lazyness.
Oh, and Konno is a pet name Ruby called Konnosuke.
Vixen refuses to say anything about Kai and Sapphire's relation, ghostmangarocker.-shifty eyes-
And i'll make sure that Vixen receives that Kai plushie, frosticdranzergal. -tucks plushie under arm-
Shadw, Vixen wouldn't stop laughing for a whole 7 minutes. I think it was the terms 'chick' and 'pops'. -chuckle-
Vixen also thanks everybody who reviewed and all those who read this story.
-waves- Hmf... I make a better author's note than Vixen, don't you think?

Chapter 30: Blind
"She's been asleep for almost a day, dammit. Wake up, already."
"Emerald, leave her alone. It's better if she's asleep. I really don't think she would like to wake up, either."
"If we're lucky, she's dead. Though I highly doubt that."
"Emerald, would you just shut up? Go to sleep. Or uhh...stand-by mode, or something."
"Hey. I don't make fun of you because you're stupid, so shut up."
Sapphire stood up, and turned off the lights. She changed into her night gown, and crawled into bed next Aquamarine.
"Goodnight. Sleep tight. Be careful of Aquamarine's bite!" Emerald sang softly to Sapphire.
"Shut up, Emerald."
She snickered, and sat down in the couch far in the corner, and closed her eyes.
"This is going to be one long night..." Sapphire whispered to herself.
"Got that right."
"Will you shut up already?"
---
Kai shot up, his whole face sweaty. He panted heavily, and a droplet of sweat slowly slid down the side of his face.
'Was that...Sapphire's mother?
But she's dead.
What does she mean by come back- has he died, too?
She called me Konnosuke... Do I look like him? Did...she mistake me for him?'
Kai slowly lay down again, and rested against his sweaty pillow. He passed his hand through his wet hair, pushing his bangs back.
'I mistook her for Sapphire too. They both look so alike. The only differenceis their hair and eye-color. They could be twins.'
He slowly closed his eyes again, wondering.
Slowly, very slowly, he drifted into another dream...
She smiled happily as she leaned on his shoulder, and Kai stared down at her silver hair, being picked up by the soft wind.
"Oh, Konnosuke... I missed you so much. Please, Konno-kun, don't make me leave. I can't sleep if you're not there."
Kai continued to stare down at her, surprised. Tears began to form at the corners of her big eyes.
"I want to be able to sleep again, Konno. Let me sleep beside you, in a world where no one will disturb us. Where no one will separate us. Where we will always be together...forever."
She hiccupped, and looked up at Kai.
"Konno? Please say yes. I want to be with you forever. Heaven… isn't Heaven without you."
Kai stared down at her, tears clouding her pink and puffy eyes. She seemed so sad, so lonely, and she looked so much like Sapphire-
He held her tightly, hoping her tears would stop. She smiled, and buried her face in his chest.
"You make me so happy, Konno. I love you."
Kai's eyes widened. He stared down at her. Her appearance was so similar to Sapphire. And he desired so much for her to say those precious little words.
"I…I lo-"
He stopped himself. This wasn't Sapphire. This was her dead mother.
Kai separated himself from her. She fell to the floor, with a confused face. Her eyes started to water.
"You're not Sapphire." he said, taking a step back.
"I…I don't know who you are talking about, Konno." she said, tears traveling down her pretty face. She hiccupped. "Do you love her? D-Do you love her more than me, Konnosuke?"
"I'm not Konnosuke."
She hiccupped, and stared up at him. "Yes you are. How could you not be? Your hair is the same grey-blue like the sky before it would rain. The same handsome face, that belongs to the one I love. The same eyes that used to look for me the night we ran away-"
Her eyes widened. "Your eyes. They-they are a bluish-red...a dark purple. Like purple quartz- amethysts- You...you are not my Konno-kun... "
"And you're not Sapphire."
"If we are not who we think each other is, who are we?"
"I'm Kai."
"I am Nakajima Ruby. I don't know who Sapphire is."
"Sapphire is your daughter."
Ruby sat up, her knees in front of her. Small pale feet peeked from the bottom of her silver dress. "How could she be?" she placed her head on her knees.
"You're dead."
She looked up. "But am I not alive? I should float if I am a specter."
"The one you call Konnosuke. He killed you."
Her pupils dilated, and she glared at him. "Don't say such things about my Konnosuke. He would never do that. He loves me, and he would never hurt me!"
"Your own daughter said-"
"She lies! She is not my daughter, I don't have one! Get away from me! You are not Konnosuke!" she stood up, and transformed into a Firefox. The transformation was swift.
Her coat was a beautiful white-silver, so where her mane, paws and ears. Her eyes were an almond shape, with Ruby's blood-red. They were surrounded by a light gray, like a raccoon.
"Get away!" she growled, a small ball of silver fire forming in her right paw.
"I have no desire to be here. I don't know how to get out of this dream-"
"Dream? Why should I be in your dreams? Go away and give me my Konnosuke back!" she yelled, the small ball growing bigger.
"You have to remember! Sapphire is your daughter. And she looks just like you," he said, taking a step back.
The small orb slowly vanished. She stared at Kai for a moment, then down at the grass. Her eyes started to water, and she transformed back to her human form. Her tears slid down her cheeks.
"Konnosuke..." she whimpered, and sank to her knees.
"Do you remember?" Kai asked, stepping closer.
She nodded. "Forgive me. I did... not remember." she said softly, burying her face in her small hands.
He bent down next to her, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I was blinded by my love for my Konnosuke..." she hiccupped. "Oh, but I trusted him so much. I loved him, and for him I would do anything, just to make him happy."
Kai stared sadly down at her. Then he smiled. "Sapphire is your daughter." he stood up and crossed his arms, and stared down at the green grass. Ruby looked up at him.
"W-Why?" she asked, her curious eyes looking up at him in confusion.
"She may suffer, but she won't let others do the same. She makes everyone happy and sure of themselves…with just one smile." He tilted his head up, towards the sky, and closed his eyes, enjoying the soft breeze.
Ruby smiled, then stood up. "Tell her...tell my daughter...I said hello. That I'm okay. And that... that I love her." she said, turning around, and walking away.
Kai turned to her as she walked away, her dress swishing with the wind, the pink flower still in her hand. He smiled, and as she walked away, she vanished in the air.

The next day in the secret garden...
Kai stroked Sapphire's hair, as she lay on his chest, breathing softly. She slowly closed her eyes.
"Sapphire...I dreamed of your mother last night." he said, his hand resting on top of Sapphire's head. She opened her eyes, and turned to him, gazing down at him lazily. She rubbed her eyes with her small fists.
"Really? What did she say?" she said, her big curious eyes looking down at him. He smiled.
"She says hello, and…that she loves you."
Sapphire smiled, and closed her eyes. "How is she?" she asked, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
Kai sat up, and he cupped her face. The cute blush appeared across her cheeks again. He smiled, and kissed her trembling lips. She buried her face in his shirt.
"She's okay. Heartbroken… but okay."
Aqumarine: Okies. Vixen's left me more instructions. -clears throat-
She won't be here for the next update either. She's super busy with tons of stuff in her real life, plus, she's barely starting as a freshman next year.
Oops.
I just killed her age mystery. -checks around for witnesses-
Well, as long as no one knows her, she's okay.
I think.
In addition, since she wants to finish this story quickly, sh'es decided to move the schedule a little. I'll update every friday from now on. Yeah, I'll be updating, because Vixen won't be here to do that.
And so, you'll all be one chapter ahead from usual. w00t.
Oh yeah, and she says to take these.
-throws Kaiplushies out-
Have fun. -smirk-
And yes, I'm the most mature of all of us. (Sapphire-Emerald-Aquamarine) If you wondering that.
Two more things- here's your preview-
---
She spotted Riza, and strode towards her. "Where is Sapphire?" she snapped at her.
Riza slowly turned around, and looked at Emerald, who was fuming. "Mistress... is out." she said calmly, then turned around.
"Where the hell did she go?" she growled, and Riza turned to her one more time.
"Mind your language, Mistress Emerald." she said, and walked away.
Emerald glowered as she disappeared behind a corner. She stomped back to Sapphire's room.
She slammed the door shut behind her as she entered the room. She looked over to Sapphire's bed, where Aquamarine was supposed to be, sleeping.
Her fake dark green eyes widened.
She wasn't there.

Aquamarine: -smirk- Let's all play hide-and-seek, shall we?
Well, Thank you for reading, Please review. I'm sure that they will make Vixen snap out of her laziness. -wink-
