Chapter 14: The Kiss.

Sherry landed face flat on a pile of garbage. She made disgusting spat noises as she got back up.

"Brago?" she said. There was no answer. There was no noise at all except the low humming sound coming from the back of the area she was in. She got up, but the pile of trash made her slip and slide down to the bottom. She rubbed her rear, which hurt when she landed with a thud. She ignored the pain and got back up.

"Brago?" Sherry called out again.

"What?" the dark mamodo's voice spoke out angrily. His voice made Sherry jumped a bit in surprise.

"Oh, Brago. I've found you." the blond said, now calmed.

"No. I've found you. And don't talk to me." Brago snapped as he turned, with his back now facing the blond.

"What's your problem?"

"My problem is that we're gonna die down here!" Brago snapped again, louder this time. Sherry stood there, with eyes widen in fear.

"We're gonna die?" she asked, which made Brago mad. What a stupid question when the answers already in front of the woman's face.

"Yes! We're gonna die! All because you had to yell at me, and now we're stuck here!" the dark mamodo shouted. It really was Sherry's fault for them being down here. If she had just listen to Brago for once, then she wouldn't yell at him, then Brago wouldn't get all mad over the geese and squirrels, then they wouldn't be down here. "All you had to do, Bellmond, was listen to me, just once, but you wouldn't. And now because of that, we're here on the first level of hell!" Brago yelled out loud, but then he slipped on a piece of garbage which made him fell.

The dark mamodo growled at himself as he got back up. But as he did, a loud mechanical sound was heard. It sounded like a machine firing up to life. Everything began to move like there was an earthquake going on underneath the factory. "Now what?" said the dark mamodo to himself.

Then out of the darkness, a giant crane-claw emerged and it was picking up chunks of garbage. Both Brago and Sherry looked down to see a giant platform leading into what appears to be the incinerator of the whole chocolate factory. "Come on, we have to get out of here." Brago spoke up and grabbed Sherry's hand and they began to run away from the crane-claw, which seemed to be chasing them, picking up chunk after chunk of garbage and dropping them into the incinerator. The two kept running and running away until the crane-claw came down between them separating them both, and picking up the chunk of garbage that Sherry fell onto. Garbage piled on top of Sherry's back, keeping her from getting out by herself.

"Brago help!" she called out. The dark mamodo stood there for a bit, looking at the blond like she deserved it after what happened to them, how they got here in the first place, but he still remember what he said to her, how he wants nothing bad to happen to her. He ran up the lifting pile of garbage and jumped aboard. He began to pull the scraps of metal and other trash off the blond, until all was left was that the crane-claws were around Sherry's body, keeping her from escaping herself.

Brago pulled and pushed the claws, but they were fighting back, trying not to budge. Brago had to move fast, because the crane-claw is soon gonna drop the pile of garbage the dark mamodo and the blond into the incinerator. He growled fiercely as he pushed the claws away harder and harder. In a quick moment, there was enough space for Sherry to move out and stand next to Brago.

"Ready?" Brago asked and the blond nodded. They both made a leap back to the edge of garbage just as the crane-claws released the chunk of trash into the incinerator. But Sherry slipped as they landed back on the edge, but Brago pulled her back up and they ran to a safe distance away from the crane-claws.

"You saved me. But why? I thought you were still mad at me?" the blond asked in confusion as he fell to her knees in exhaustion.

"Like I said before, I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you." Brago responded as he turned with his back now facing Sherry.

"How much do you really care?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Brago asked, with his right peeking out to see the blond. Sherry hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded.

Brago then turned around fully and walked towards the blond. He fell to his knees as well and looked into Sherry's sapphire eyes with his crimson eyes. He gently placed his hands on her shoulders and his face moved closer to hers. Sherry had a feeling what was happening, but she couldn't move by the shocking feeling inside. The mamodo's face moved closer and closer towards the human's face. Excitement rose inside both of them. Brago's lips at last met Sherry's.

Both of their lips felt soft and warm to each other. They moved passionately as they kissed harder this time. Their mouths opened during their kiss and they welcomed each other's tongue in. It went like that for a few seconds before they broke apart for air. Sherry felt wonderful inside and so she embraced the mamodo in her arms as Brago returned the embrace. Then they began to kiss each other again. The feeling was great to them.

"Brago?" Sherry mumbled through their kiss. Brago broke apart to listen to the blond's words. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier."

"Forget it. But we must go, we need to find a way out of this place." Brago responded and Sherry nodded. Brago helped his book owner up and they began to find a way out.

'Finally she's listening to me about getting out of here.' Brago thought. But he suddenly tripped over a piece of trash sticking out of the ground. He looked to Sherry, who giggled a bit before helping him back up.

To Be Continued... I apologize for making this chapter short.

MINI STORY.

(There's a knock on my front door of my house.)

Me: Oh, goody, he's here. Okay, guys. Remember, don't try anything until I let him in. Got it?

Kaiser and Zero: Yes.

Me: Good. (I opened the front door to find the evil Zofis, who I invited over to watch the Zatch Bell episode coming up this Saturday.) Yo, evil Z, what's up?

Zofis: The sky. What a stupid question. Okay, let me in so we can start this party of my return on the show.

Me: Okay. ( I let the evil Zofis into my house and winked at Kaiser and Zero to get ready.)

Zofis: (looking at me) Well, are you coming or not?

Me, Kaiser, and Zero:(Locking the door and walking towards Zofis with evil smile son our faces.)

Zofis: Why did you guys lock the door?

Me, Kaiser, and Zero: (pulling out some rope)

Zofis: (Getting worried) Why do you guys have that rope?

Me, Kaiser, and Zero: (with evil looks on our faces as we approach closer to Zofis)

Zofis: (Now freaked out) When are we watching the episode?

Me: I'm going in! Get my back!

(Then it shows the outside of me house, with the entire placing shaking like crazy, and with me, Kaiser, and Zero shouting, with a bunch of loud punching and kicking sounds coming from inside my house.)

Zofis: (Sitting in a chair in front of my family's bid screen televison, all tied up with a rope) What the hell's going on here?

Me: Shut up! (Slaps Zofis in the back of the head.)

Kaiser: We don't trust what you're gonna do in the coming episode, so we're gonna punish you for every bad thing we see you do.

Zofis: But... but... but... what kind of kangaroo court is this, I'm being framed!

Zero: Shut up! (Slaps sticky tape over Zofis' mouth)

(Then me, Kaiser, and Zero pull out our torture devices. I have a bazooka/flamethrower/machine gun that I bought from E bay. Kaiser has a giant chainsaw made from pure titanium. And Zero has a lot of old bad comedy records. What? Bad comedy is torture too!)

Me: Just sit back and enjoy the show.

Kaiser: You do anything we don't like in the episode, you're dead. Oh wait, I forgot, you're still a zombie, from my hikari's 'New Family' story. Well torturing you is pure fun.

Zero: What they said.

Zofis: (whimpers in fear)
