You and I Chapter 16: A Bad Dream, an anime x-overs fanfic

As Rhonda walked down the hallway she went into her office where Axel was already at. He smiled as he placed his arms around her waist pulling her into a lip locking kiss.

"Axel." Rhonda laughed. "We can't act like this at work."

"I'm already off now." Axel said.

"Well I'm not." Rhonda said.

"Hey when you get off do you want to come and meet my band?" Axel said.

"You have a band?" Rhonda asked. "Cool."

"Yeah I do, so what do you say you want to?" Axel asked.

"Yeah we can what about later?" Rhonda asked.

"We'll just see where then night takes us." Axel said. "Oh and before I forget are will still on the trip to six flags with your friends?"

"I'll have to call them and ask, I'm so psyched out! I can't wait to ride superman." Rhonda said.

"I bet you won't last more than three rides then it's off to the side for you." Axel said.

"I bet you not." Rhonda said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"What will you do for me if I'm right then and win." Axel asked as he smirked.

"Anything you want for a day excluding having sex or anything perverted." Rhonda laughed.

"Like I would ever ask you that." Axel said as he pretended to act shocked.

Rhonda smiled as she looked at the clock.

"Meet me in a half an hour in the lobby." Rhonda said as she kissed Axel one more time.

"See ya." He said as he departed out the door.

Well that half an hour went by rather quickly as Rhonda walked down to the lobby to meet Axel. Before she got there Rhonda ran into Vanessa.

"Hey Rhonda." Vanessa said.

"Hey Nessa what's up?" Rhonda asked.

"Oh you know me same old same old." Vanessa said. "So how are you and Axel?"

"Never better, and what about you and Sesshomaru huh?" Rhonda smiled.

"Oh the same as always, hey are we still on for six flags in the morning?" Vanessa asked

"Yeah we are, are we meeting here at Inu-Corp then taking cars down there?" Rhonda asked.

"Yeah I think so, I know Sesshomaru is driving with me, Kayvon is driving with Christy, Kagome is coming with Kouga, Sango, and Miroku in his car. Chelly is coming along with Kouga and so is Melissa. That leaves you driving with Axel on his motorcycle." Vanessa smiled.

"Yeah that's going to be fun." Rhonda laughed nervously. "I don't want to be going down the highway at 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle, the thing still scares me."

"Oh if worse comes to worse just use your powers Rhonda." Vanessa said.

"Yeah I guess your right, well I got to go I'm meeting Axel and some friends of his." Rhonda smiled.

"Okay well see you later." Vanessa said.

"Bye," Rhonda said as she continued to walk to the lobby finally meeting up with Axel.

"Finally." Axel smirked.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Rhonda smiled.

"So did you find out what where doing for the six flags trip?" Axel asked.

"Yeah were meeting them here in the morning." Rhonda smiled.

"Great." Axel said. "Let's go now."

"Okay." Rhonda said as she walked out the front door with Axel getting on his motorcycle and riding with him to his friend's house. It took about maybe ten minutes to get there but it was worth it. Rhonda and Axel walked into the house and headed down into the basement where they encountered the band practicing.

"Hey guys." Axel said. "This is my girlfriend Rhonda treat her like you treat me."

"You mean make fun of her when not present." Someone joked.

"Ha ha ha very funny." Axel spoke. "No Riku."

Riku smirked.

"Oh don't worry Axel we'll treat her like family." Said another voice. "I'm Kairi." Said a woman with long brown hair that came down to her shoulders with blue eyes.

"I'm Riku." Said a man with long jagged silver hair that also came up to his shoulders and he had green eyes.

"I'm Sora." Said a man with blue eyes with spiky brown hair.

"Nice to meet all of you, so what is your bands name?" Rhonda asked.

"It's called Red Raging Dragons." Axel said.

"Interesting." Rhonda said. "So what instruments do you guys play?"

"I play the guitar and vocals." Axel said.

"Guitar." Riku said.

"Drums." Sora said.

"Piano." Kairi said.

"Yeah but lately we've been struggling our band has." Axel said.

"Really how so?" Rhonda asked.

"Well not as many people want to listen to our music anymore." Sora said.

"That's because people don't know good music when they see it." Riku said.

"Well how many back up singers do you got." Rhonda asked.

"Mainly Axel sings sometimes and Kairi used to but stopped shortly." Sora said.

"Maybe you need more singers in your band." Suggested Rhonda.

"Have any suggestions?" Riku asked.

"Well no." Rhonda said.

"Actually I think Rhonda could sing pretty well." Axel said.

Rhonda turned to look at him then back at the others.

"Oh no I'm not that good." Rhonda said waving her arms.

"Oh come off of it I heard you sing at Moonlight Haze and everybody loved your singing." Axel said.

"Yeah but." Rhonda started then stopped she didn't know what to say.

"I bet you can sing great why don't you show us, trying won't hurt." Kairi said.

"I don't know." Rhonda said

"Oh come on your singing can't be as bad as Sora's." Riku joked.

"Hey I take offense to that!" Sora called out.

Rhonda smiled. "Okay which song should I try?" Rhonda asked.

"Well lets pick a song we can all work on, and one we can have you and Axel the lead singers." Said Kairi

"Okay, well what about Evanescence song "Bring Me To Life?" Ronda asked.

"I don't know what do you guys think?" Axel asked.

"I think that can work." Riku said. "What about you Sora can you handle that?" Riku asked.

"Yeah I think I can manage." Sora said.

"So then it's settled, let's give it a try." Kairi smiled.

Everyone got settled into their positions to practice. Kari was on the piano and played the opening scene then Rhonda came in followed by Riku and Axel on guitar. Then the second vocals came in Axel. Both Rhonda and Axel were singing. Then the drums came in followed by Sora.

EVANESCENCE LYRICS

"Bring Me To Life"
(feat. Paul McCoy)

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

"That was amazing!" Kairi nearly screamed.

"Yeah it was very good the best we've done in awhile." Sora said.

"It wasn't that bad." Riku said.

Rhonda smiled. "Yeah and it was fun."

"Hey Rhonda come with me I want to show you some songs we've been working on maybe you and I can think of some more." Kairi smiled.

"Okay." Rhonda said as she followed Kairi upstairs.

"She's got talent." Riku said.

"Yeah she does and where did you find her." Sora joked. "She could be what the band needs."

"I'll talk to her and see if she's up to the idea." Axel said.

"Yeah and if she is and we practice we might stand a chance at Battle of the Bands." Riku said.

"Well tomorrow where going to six flags later on I'll talk to her about it tonight if I can." Axel said.

"Oh you're going to six flags sweet." Sora said. "Oh I just loved Superman it was awesome."

"Until you puked your guts out after the ride." Riku said as he laughed.

"Yeah it's not a good idea to eat something then go on a ride like that." Sora said as he scratched his head.

Axel laughed as Riku joined in.

Upstairs…..

"These are really good." Rhonda said.

"Oh really I'm glad because I wrote them." Kairi said.

"No kidding." Rhonda said. "I like to write my own poetry occasionally it's kind of similar to writing songs isn't it?" she asked.

"Yeah I think so." Kairi smiled. "You sung beautifully by the say great job."

"Thanks." Rhonda said.

"Have you ever considered going pro?" Kairi asked.

"I haven't really it was just a hobby of mine, I have a job I work at Inu-Corp." Rhonda said.

"Oh I see isn't it that big executive building down town?" Kairi asked.

"That's it." Rhonda smiled.

"Cool" Kairi. "But I think you would make it if you went pro."

"Maybe." Rhonda said. "Hey are you doing anything tomorrow?" Rhonda asked.

"No why?" Kairi asked.

"Do you want to come to six flags with Axel and I, well actually it's with our work and friends."

"Sure that will be fun if you don't mind me tagging along." Kairi smiled.

"We can even get Sora and Riku to come along as well." Rhonda smiled

"Oh yeah Sora definitely will want to go but we have to promise one thing." Kairi said.

"What?" Rhonda asked.

"He eats no food before we go on roller coasters." Kairi laughed and Rhonda joined in. "Yeah he's my brother and sometimes he can be an air head."

Rhonda nodded her head. "Yeah I know what you mean I have a sister that can act like that sometimes."

Axel came upstairs and saw Rhonda and Kairi having a good time.

"Having fun ladies." Axel smiled.

"Yeah Kairi is coming to six flags with us tomorrow." Rhonda said.

"Great cause I just got Sora and Riku to agree." Axel said.

"So it's settled then." Kairi said.

"Yeah just one thing were going to be taking Riku's car because I don't think I'll fit everyone on my motorcycle." Axel said.

Rhonda and Kairi smiled.

"Well it's about time to go." Axel said. "We should be going we have to get up early tomorrow, Kairi I already told Riku when to be ready at so just listen to him and he'll fill you in on the details."

"Okay it was nice meeting you Rhonda, see you tomorrow." Kairi said.

"Bye it was nice meeting you too Kairi." Rhonda said. "See you tomorrow."

"Bye." Rhonda said. "As she got up and walked out the door with Axel."

Onto his motorcycle they went and traveled back to Rhonda's house where they sat and relaxed until it was already night time.

"So did you like them?" Axel asked.

"Like what, oh your friends yeah they were really nice and cool, especially Kairi, hey did you know she likes to write songs?" Rhonda asked.

"Glad you had a fun time." Axel said as he wrapped his arms around Rhonda's waist.

"I did have fun." Rhonda said.

"Hey what would you think if the band asked for you to join huh?" Axel asked.

"Oh I don't know why?" Rhonda asked.

"Oh because we were talking and I think the band would be better off if we got you to join." Axel said as he kissed Rhonda's cheek.

"Oh and what do you think?" Rhonda asked.

"I would love it." Axel said.

"I think I would love it too." Rhonda smiled.

"It's getting late now I should go." Axel said.

Rhonda smiled. "You know you could stay over since you would be just coming back to my house in the morning you know, saves money, time, and gas coverage."

"Really now that I didn't know." Axel smirked.

"Yeah but don't let it go to your head Mr. Ego." Rhonda smiled. "You can have the couch tonight." She teased.

"Aww that's no fun." Axel smirked.

"No I think the couch is perfect for you it's nice and comfy." Rhonda said as she walked into her bedroom and Axel followed behind smiling.

"I liked it better when I was lying by your side that night." Axel said as he stared into Rhonda's eyes.

Rhonda blushed then regained control. Axel leaned Rhonda onto the bed and kissed her lips softly with passion then with each time deepened the kiss.

"I love you." Axel whispered into her ear.

"Forever." Rhonda whispered back as Axel layered her neck with kisses having her sigh.

Rhonda wrapped her arms around Axel's neck; he continued to kiss her deeply each time as he caressed her everlasting cheek with his hand.

"Axel." She whispered.

"Rhonda." He whispered back.

Sepheroith walked up to Rhonda's door hesitated but used the key he never returned and opened the door. He walked inside the house.

"How am I going to explain my actions towards her?" He thought. "How am I going to end up convincing her to come back to me?"

Sepheroith walked past the dining room, past the kitchen and up to Rhonda's door.

"Rhonda?" Sepheroith called. "Look I'm sorry but." He started as he opened Rhonda's door a crack but then stopped. He was horrified and enraged in anger at the scene he saw. It was Rhonda sleeping with Axel! Axel and Rhonda were lying in bed asleep and Axel had his arm draped over her side. Sepheroith was shaking with anger and newly rage.

"No one touches my woman." He thought. "I worked to long and to hard she is mine!"

Sepheroith shut the door silently as he walked to the door.

"I will make her pay for what she's done and I will make sure of it." Sepheroith said as he last departed from the house. "She is mine and when I make her mine I will be invincible."

Rhonda tossed and turned in her sleep she was having a good dream in the beginning but then it later turned into a nightmare.

Dream:

There she was flying through the skies as she imagined so many times before. But now it was different, she was different. She no longer had the long brown hair she had so many times in her dream before. She now had the short jagged cut hair that was black with red highlights. She no longer wore the long blue gown; she now wore a white dress that down the long sleeves were ruffles. Around her neck she wore her half crescent moon amulet, and along her forehead she bared the mark of a white half crescent moon. She was flying until she emerged within a castle where she knew what was going on. A war between the Angels of Light and the Angels of Dark and by the looks of it the Angels of Dark where winning. There she witnessed a tragic death, the ruler of the Angels of Light was killed and from there the Angels of Light were taken under rule by the Angels of Dark.

"Why is this happening who can save them?" Rhonda thought.

"Only you can." A voice said.

"You again! Why did this happen, why is it all up to me?" Rhonda shouted.

"Because you can save them, you can restore order." The voice told her. "You control both Light and Dark and with those powers beckoning you are unstoppable."

"Why is it all up to me now?" Rhonda asked.

"Because you are the one who can save us all you are the chosen one and you are the heir to the thrown." The voice told her.

"Terra how can I help tell me please!" Rhonda shouted.

"In time you shall learn, you must defeat the dark ruler and the heir to his thrown." Terra said.

Then out of know where this heavenly being came from the skies and was lowered to the ground. She had mid-night blue hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a white gown that came down to her toes. Along that dress were golden rime stones that trailed across the hems of the dress. Her skin was pale but she resembled someone that Rhonda knew. It was herself. She looked like Rhonda.

"No way." Rhonda whispered.

The being walked towards her.

"Terra?" Rhonda asked.

"I've waited so long big sister." Terra said.

"How long have you knew?" Rhonda asked. "Are we really sisters?"

"For about five years now." Terra said. "Please don't be angry at me I couldn't contact you or I would have been severely punished for such an act."

"Do you know where mom and dad are?" Rhonda asked.

"Unfortunately no, I have not seen them." Terra said sadly as she looked at the ground.

"Wow you're my sister." Rhonda said. "How?" she asked.

"I was placed with mother's friend after she learned that she was pregnant again soon after she had to give you up for the sake of your life and everyone else." Terra said.

Rhonda reached her arms out and hugged her sister.

"We haven't much time, I came in contact with you because I had to warn you be careful around the one you call Sepheroith, he is with the Angels of Dark and he is after you and your powers." Terra explained.

"How do you know?" Rhonda asked.

"The Dark Ruler has made me his personal slave to the kingdom and I am supposed to marry one of his sons." Terra whispered.

"No this can't be." Rhonda whispered. "Where are you I'll help you."

"Oh know there coming, listen I can't right now if they find out I've come into contact I'll be killed and severely punished, until again my sister." Terra said as she kissed her sister on the cheek.

"No!" Rhonda screamed as she faded back into her dream. "No no no!" Rhonda yelled as she suddenly woke up in bed.

End of dream…………

"Rhonda wake up you where having a bad dream." Axel said as he tried to soothe her.

"Oh Axel I had the worst night mare and worse my sister was in it." Rhonda cried.

"Christy?" he asked .

"No not Christy my other sister." Rhonda cried.

Axel had no idea what other sister Rhonda was talking about and then he remembered what she told him months ago.

Flashback…………..

There they sat by the creek in the park underneath some cherry blossom trees in each others arms. With his hand he stroked her cheek slightly.

"Axel there's something I've been meaning to tell you." Rhonda said.

"What is it?" Axel asked smiling.

Rhonda was quiet for a moment then spoke.

"There has been something I've been keeping from you for awhile and ever since I've knew you." Rhonda spoke.

"Oh really? What." Axel smirked but then stopped when he saw the seriousness look in Rhonda's eyes.

"Axel don't get mad at what I'm going to tell you, it's just…." Rhonda said.

"Tell me." Axel said.

"It's just after being with Sepheroith all those years I was distanced from my friends and my family, and basically you. I never got the chance to tell you my secret." Rhonda said.

"What secret?" Axel asked.

"It's better if I show you not explain." Rhonda said as she looked around to see if no one was coming there way. "Let's go to my house."

"Okay." Axel said.

As soon as Axel and Rhonda got to her house, they walked inside.

"Watch." Rhonda said as she smiled.

Rhonda backed up a little as she tilted her head and concentrated. Out of her back came her black feathery wings, her half crescent moon on her forehead glowed, as she changed into that tight but flowing white knee length dress with the long sleeves and ruffles at the end. Rhonda lifted. Axel started at Rhonda with wide open eyes.

"You're an…" Axel said.

"Angel?" Rhonda finished for him.

"Yes." Axel said.

"I look like one but I'm not so sure if I am one." Rhonda said.

"What do you mean?" Axel asked.

"There is so much you do not know." Rhonda said. "But if we are to be together then I must tell you. This might sound weird but every now and then I have memory relapses of events that occurred in my life and the life of my parents from their time before I was born"

"Wait you mean those people that you grew up with are not your real parents?" Axel asked.

Rhonda shook her head. "They are not, they found me and took care of me at the request of my real parents."

"So that means Christy is…" Axel said.

"Not my real sister, by blood of course she'll always be my sister in my heart." Rhonda said. "There is this voice that has inhabited my head filling me with knowledge about my parents, where they came from and things about me I never would have knew."

"Like what?" Axel asked intrigued now with what she was saying.

"Well my mother's father was the ruler of what was known as the Angels of Light and my father's father was the ruler known as the Angels of Dark. The Angels of Dark hated the Angels of Light, in fact they both despised one another. They hated one another so much that when my parents became one and had me that sparked the first war. Somehow I've managed to see this war in my dreams and it's not a good outcome. There is so much violence and death it's horrible, in fact the outcome was pretty bad to. The ruler of the Angels of Light was killed and the Angels of Dark rose up and took control. Now the voice tells me that it's my destiny to fight the Angels of Dark .But since my parents are no where to be found I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. The stupid voice keeps on reminding me saying this but what am I supposed to do? Are you understanding this at all what I'm saying here?" Rhonda asked.

"Completely." Axel said. "There has been something that I was keeping from you too."

"Oh well that's fair I mean I kept this from you so it's only fair that you kept something from me." Rhonda said.

"Mine is bigger though." Axel said. "Don't be angered."

"Why?" Rhonda asked. "Axel?"

Axel broke and couldn't speak for the moment.

"Axel?" Rhonda repeated.

"I'm one of them, I'm an angel of Dark and Light." He finished.

"What?" Rhonda asked.

"My mother was an Angel of Dark and my father was an Angel of Light. This happened before you were born, so you did not spark the first war between the angels. What happened was it was as told forbidden for dark angels and light angels to be together with one another. My parents broke that rule, had me and they were disowned from their families. My mother and father were murdered by the Angels of Dark and they looked down upon me because I was both dark and light. But then they didn't know at first that when you have both dark and light you control both. They didn't know that time when you control both you are stronger then they are. They realized this soon after I fled and came to the Earth to live out an ordinary life. When they did realize it was too late for me but not for you. Seven years later you were born the same thing happened again. They took the chance and a war was brought upon. You were there number one target, they wanted to claim you and harness your powers. But your parents saw through this and knew that they had to give you up to keep you safe from them. That is what I believed happened in your case. So you didn't alone spark the first war it was, all angels of dark and light." Axel finished.

"So there are others just like us?" Rhonda asked.

"Yes and unfortunately some of those hide in solitary because if they are found out, they will be killed." Axel spoke.

"I can't believe this." Rhonda spoke.

Axel placed his arms around Rhonda and held her.

"So they're after me?" Rhonda asked.

"I won't let them harm you." Axel whispered.

"But one thing is uncertain to me." Rhonda said.

"And that is?" Axel asked.

"What do I do about this Terra that keeps contacting me?" Rhonda asked.

"You're just going to have to wait and see." Axel said as he faded out of the memory.

End of flashback.

"Axel just hold me and don't let go." Rhonda said softly.

Axel held on to Rhonda, never before had he seen her like this ever before. Rhonda clung on to Axels bare shoulders and wept silently.

"It's okay don't cry." Axel said.

Axel held her into his arms whispering to her everything would be alright as he rubbed her shoulders.

"So is this her sister like she says or is it just another attempt at the Angels of Dark trying to claim and harness her power?" Axel thought.
