On The Road…Again

The next morning Nakada was woken up by someone softly kissing her. She smiled as she wrapped her arms around the person and kissed the them back. She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Yoko and he smiled as well, "Morning Kitty," he said caressing her face a little.

She tilted her head, "A new nick name?"

"Do you like it?"

Nakada smiled a tired smile as she nodded, "Anything you call me is fine. What time is it?"

Yoko looked at the clock, "Oh around four-thirty in the morning." Nakada looked at him wide-eyed and all he did was smile, "I thought we should get out of here with everyone asleep because I know how much you hate good-byes."

"We aren't really saying good-bye Yoko you know that but you are right," Nakada sat up and looked at Yoko who was sitting on the bed next to her and she began to do her morning routine, "Besides when a Sign says good-bye in any way they really mean it. If they good-bye that usually means they will see you only when your dead." Yoko looked at the bathroom a little shocked.

"You Signs are serious about a lot of things aren't you?"

"Uh huh," was all that she said.

When she was out of the shower she got dressed and took two hair clips and clipped them into her hair. Yoko looked at her, "I presume you got everything?"

Nakada winked and took one hair clip out of her hair and it turned into a bag, "This bag will give us everything we need. Only you and I can use it since you are my love."

Yoko smiled as the bag turned back into a hair clip and she fastened it to her hair, "And the other hair clip?"

"Well we might not need her but…" she took the hair clip and in turned into what looked like a gun and sword in one. On a chain connecting to the gun part there was a tiger charm, "This is Trigger Tiger she is a gunblade and a real weapon. When I say real I mean she is alive. She can be a gun or a sword and she is really handy."

Yoko walked over to Nakada and asked to see Trigger Tiger. He held her and noticed that she was really light and easy to handle. He did a few tricks with it you could never so to a sword without the gun handle and looked her over. He gave Trigger Tiger back to Nakada and smiled, "That is some good weapon what did you say she was again?"

"A gunblade and yes she does handle good. She also seems to like you. She doesn't usually let strangers handle her like she had let you handle her."

Yoko smiled, "I brought some food up for you and the bike is already to go in Trenton. I thought you could get us there through mirror after we walked through Demon World for a little while."

Nakada smiled as she took the breakfast Yoko had given her and she quickly began to eat it as he got a handle with trying to levitate a pillow from one side of the room the other, "Your very good for a beginner Yoko," she complemented as her plate and glass disappeared, "But I think I should teach you how to control the volume of your ears. You could hurt them pretty badly if your hearing is to high when you start the bike."

He looked at her and nodded, "Ready to go?"

"Wait a second," she flipped her wrist and some envelopes appeared, "So they will know we weren't taken by the Dark Signs and won't worry about us."

He smiled and opened the balcony door letting her through. When they were through Nakada summoned up a world mirror to where they had first met and where their adventure had started. Yoko walked up to Nakada and stretched out his hand to her. She looked back at the building and the room they had slept in and the landscape saying a silent see ya later and took Yoko's hand as they walked through.

Nakada smiled when she saw the place and held Yoko's hand tight as she remembered when she and DJ had first came to Demon world.

Flash Back

DJ then jumped into the mirror and then went Nakada.

They both fell onto the ground and rolled, "Yeah it's definitely getting easier," Nakada said as they both laughed happily and got off of the ground.

"Hey Nakada where do we go now?" D.J. asked as he looked around. Nakada shrugged and took off her backpack as she climbed up a tree.

"Wow!" was all Nakada could say as she reached the top. She climbed back down and sat on a branch, "DJ bring up my back pack I have to take some pictures of this! I'll take your back pack to if you want to come up," Nakada said as DJ passed her, her backpack.

"Na I'll come up with my back pack on but you can take my staff," Nakada reached down and took DJ's staff as he climbed the tree.

End Flash Back

Nakada went over to the tree she and her brother had climbed and climbed it again with Yoko behind her smiling. When they reached the top the saw the same lake Nakada and DJ had seen the same day they had come here, "Things don't change that much around here do they," she asked looking at the view and then at Yoko.

He looked at her and shook his head, "No, something's don't change around here. But I prefer them not to." They both smiled and climbed down the tree and Nakada looked at the spot Yoko had stood when she started screaming and she smiled. Yoko looked at her and smiled as well, "Remembering something?"

She turned her head to him and nodded rubbing his ears a little making him purr, "I'm just remembering when I had found out these were real and you scared me. DJ fell on you, you pushed him away and in doing so you got hit in the head by his staff."

Yoko smiled and closed one eye as he rubbed the place on his head DJ and had hit, "Ya I thought to myself was it raining humans because he fell right on top of me. Then you tried to help me as I tried to recover from the shock of your scream. When Kuronue and I came back here a few days after you left you wouldn't believe the confusion there was. So many demons had thought we were dead and it took some time for us to convince them we weren't. But when we did everything was somewhat normal. Kuronue though went and found a cave and built a place there with some helpers. His place looks great and not the doom and gloom you would expect from a bat."

Nakada smiled and took Yoko's hand as they went in the direction she and DJ had taken to get away from Yoko, "I'm sorry if we caused you that much confusion."

"Hey," Yoko stopped and held Nakada's hands close, "There is no need for you to be sorry about okay? It was well worth the confusion being with you. And honestly it was also kind fun and funny. They ran around the place like turkeys with their heads cut off." Nakada laughed a little and they continued their walk with Yoko's arm around her waist.

When they got to the place (Nakada had explained to Yoko how to turn change the volume of his hearing along the way) Yoko went over to the place DJ had stashed the pictures. It somehow still had the smell of the perfume. He turned around and looked at a tree where there had once been shadows hiding a Dark Sign.

Flash Back

While Yoko was looking at the pictures a voice behind him spoke, "What are you doing here fox?" Yoko turned around and saw a girl that looked to be older then Nakada leaning against a tree in the shadows. She had long waist length black hair very pale skin and ice black eyes.

"Who are you?" Yoko asked looking at this new stranger but not sensing any energy from her. But still being very careful.

"My name is Kelsey and if you are looking for Nakada and her brother D.J. you just missed them. Nakada summoned a world mirror and went home. Why don't you go home? These woods are not very safe," Kelsey gave a little giggle as Yoko's tail gave a little wag and his ears twitched, "Those ears and that tail are very cute you know. Do you like Nakada and her brother?" Kelsey asked with a big grin on her face.

"Of course I don't!" Yoko made a face at the question to show that he was disgusted.

"Then why were you after them?" Kelsey pressed further.

Yoko was getting very angry, "They were going to be my slaves and they managed to slip away. Now if you excuse me I have to find them," Yoko began to try and find their scent.

"You'll never find them in this world Yoko," Kelsey said with a bit of amusement in her voice. Yoko looked at her angered at what she was saying, "Didn't you hear me Yoko? I said Nakada summoned a world mirror and left to go back into her own world never to return to this one," Kelsey looked at him again and saw that his face was emotionless, "Of course I can make them as well but there is a little price to pay. Do you still want to find them?"

Yoko looked at her and nodded, "Fine then, here is the price. If what you say is true you only want Nakada and her brother for slaves then you can't fall in love with her. If you do then you will die of a long terrible painful sickness and only her kiss can cure it. But the kiss has to be when she loves you not an every day kiss or peck. It also has to be on the lips and she is the one who has to kiss you not you kiss her. She also has to know that she is kissing you.

If she doesn't and she thinks she is kissing someone else then she won't truly love you she just loves the person you're acting as. How long you have to live if she doesn't the time is always different. Most of the time it take four months before the actual symptoms happen which a little bit of pain in certain parts of the body. For you even with the nightmares if you have confessed to yourself that you love her it will probably take six months before they do. Then it is only for a few weeks before you do die. Now about the nightmares they will seem real and you might feel pain afterwards but as soon as you stand up the pain will go away. One more thing you can't tell her or anyone about this or you will die again a long, slow and painful death but this time nothing can stop it. At times I will allow you to tell very few people about this. If she still hasn't kissed you then the people who know about it can tell her on the day or night you die but before I don't think you want it after. Now I'll give you a little freebee you can't speak her native language as you would say so I will cast a spell on you so you can speak, understand and read hers and your language, fair enough?"

Kelsey looked at Yoko and he nodded, "I just have one question," Kelsey nodded, "Why is it that you would want me to die if I fall in love with Nakada?"

"Because Yoko," Kelsey said as she suddenly appeared close to Yoko's face to close actually, "She is good and I am bad. She always got me into trouble at school and I have a certain liking to you so if I can't have you then no one else can as well," Kelsey had Yoko backed up to the tree where D.J. had hidden the pictures. Kelsey was caressing his face with her hand and it made him so sick, his stomach felt like it was jumping up and down. Then she looked into his eyes and she began to move closer and closer to Yoko's face.

Kelsey knew he was feeling sick and she wanted him to be, she wanted him to beg but she would still go for it, "Please," Kelsey looked at Yoko who was looking at her and there was something in his eyes that Kelsey loved to see. Fear and panic.

"What was that Yoko?" asked Kelsey as she slowed down her decent.

"Please…don't…do…this…" Yoko was having a hard time speaking and was about to say more but Kelsey placed the hand that was caressing his face to the back of his head and pulled him down with no force at all and tasted his lips as she kissed him. Yoko felt so sick as Kelsey kissed him but he felt so weak against her that he couldn't push away. Then he noticed he was almost out of air and Kelsey broke the kiss. Yoko took in a little air but he felt like his still couldn't breath. Then Kelsey stepped backwards and finally he could breath as she went in to the stance Nakada would go in to summon the world mirror.

Yoko just watched her; "Nakada's mirrors are different because they don't get you to where you exactly want to go but mine do. You will end up in the place where Nakada and D.J. were when they jumped out of their mirror.'" Kelsey did all the same things that Nakada did and a mirror appeared in front of her, "JUMP!" yelled Kelsey and he jumped through the mirror.

End Flashback

Yoko shivered a little as he remembered that and pressed a hand to his stomach as he remembered the sickness feeling. Nakada walked over to him and caressed his face a little. He looked at her and smiled, "That was the best day and the worst day I have ever had. It was my worst because of the deal Kelsey and I had made and it was the best because I had met you."

Nakada smiled and wrapped her arms around Yoko holding him close, "Come on we still have a long way to go. Do you think we should drive by the other girls houses or just start the trip?"

Yoko thought for a second, "Maybe next time right now why don't we start the trip?" Nakada smiled and nodded.

She waved her hand and a world mirror appeared, "I'm going to have to teach you have to make world mirrors. You might have all of the powers of a Sign and your own but you also have their weaknesses as well. Stay way from using dark magic and dark magic items or they will zap you of your Sign powers and leave you with just your demon powers. He nodded and they went through the mirror.

When Nakada and Yoko had walked through the mirror they were in the forest at the park. They began to walk around the pond (Yoko had his necklace on) noticing that there had been some changes but not that many. Nakada stopped by a bench that was set by the water, "You know when the school had the Terry Fox walk the students from my school would walk all the way around the pond and then back at the school. Some students would break from the group and go back home because school was over anyway."

He walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "I guess remembering things that you can never do again is kind of hard."

Nakada nodded, "It can be, I can't walk around the lake again with my classmates no matter how much I dislike them I do miss them sort of. Halley a girl in grade seven I think was very nice to me. I didn't notice it until I was in grade seven or eight I think. Grade seven…she be in grade ten or eleven right now maybe even twelve."

Yoko looked at Nakada and smiled, "Come on we still have a long way to go."

Nakada looked at him and nodded, "Yes, do you remember the way to my parents house?"

"Sort of," she smiled and they began to walk to the house.

When they were there they saw the bike in the empty driveway with two helmets on the two handles. Nakada looked at the house she thought she would never see again and Yoko looked at her, "You want to go inside?"

She looked at him and shook her head, "No I don't want to see how much it has changed. I prefer my mind to stay the way it thinks it is."

Yoko nodded and went over to the bike and looked at the tree he had slept in, "They still have the tree here."

Nakada looked at him and saw the tree and smiled, "It was cold summers night and I thought I would give you a blanket to keep you warm." Nakada giggled and Yoko looked at her, "Remember the day after I gave you some sugar not knowing what it was going to do to you?"

Yoko laughed little as he remembered, "Yes that was rather fun and even though I found it a bit embarrassing but deep down I knew it was fun and a good change from being so serious."

She smiled as she went over to Yoko and he gave her, her helmet and she put it on. Yoko got onto the bike and then Nakada got on after him wrapping her arms around his waist as he started the bike and she held on tightly, "I am never going to get used to this thing," she said and he smiled.

"Well you can always hold me tight for reassurance," he said looking back at her and they smiled. He kicked up the stick and leaned forward a little as they road off going straight to Westville and then on to the road the whole team had taken to get away from Kelsey.
