Chapter 9

I could feel all the uneasiness that came into the room once I said his name. Ta's eyebrows leaned back to show she was worried, but shakily said, "Hey, maybe it means that he's searching for us, you know. It doesn't mean that he actually found us yet!"

"But… I think he has a feeling where we are," I replied. "I think, it's either he knows, or I contacted him by mistake."

"How can you contact him by mistake?" chaos asked quickly. I felt ashamed; I didn't mean to. If I see someone in my dreams, I'm usually contacting them. I know so because my family has already told me that I creep them in their sleep.

"Remember when you got knocked out and contacted Onii-chan spiritually? It's the same for me. If you leave your body, you have to come back to it… and he may have also followed my spirit back to where we are," I replied calmly, even though I was scared on the inside. Okay, okay, I admit, I was beyond scared. I barely had enough sense to stop myself from shaking like a little scared kid in a haunted house.

"This is nice," chaos replied, shaking his head sadly. "I can't believe that there's a chance that Albedo knows where we are."

"Then, I can do something about that," I answered proudly. I didn't have an idea yet, but I knew if I kept this up, one would come sooner or later. I waved my hand and said some mumbo-jumbo words that sounded authentic. I call it authentic fakeness. I'm very proud of it.

"What did you do?" Fayte asked after I had finished. As I thought, an idea popped into my head. I smiled and shook my head childishly.

"Sumina doesn't know aaanything," I replied with a cute wink and then I jumped out the open window in my room. I was pretty sure that the whole group was gawking at my unusual behavior. Hey, what can I say? I couldn't tell them yet.

My plan would work out perfectly. I would lure in Albedo and finish him off right there. I was sure I could do it. With this newfound courage, I felt as if I could do anything. I ran into the middle of the park and screamed, "ALBEDO!"

I felt a warm breath on my neck and a whisper in my ear that said, "Yes, ma petite?"

I shivered when I heard his voice. Why did he have to be so darn creepy? I swallowed my fear, swirled around to face him and stood straight. "I want to fight you. If you win, you can kill me. If I win, I want you to leave."

"Oh, ma petite," he said, gently holding my red streak in his hand. Pulling his hand back, I watched as my hair fell in front of my face. "I would never want to kill you."

Oh, right. That's only why he almost killed chaos before. I crossed my arms, but I sensed a blood-lust aura from him. I almost switched into battle position, but I didn't want to give away that I knew what was coming.

"If anything, ma petite," Albedo continued with a diabolical smile, "I WOULD TORTURE YOU TO DEATH!"

I quickly flipped backwards, dodging his karate chop. Landing on my feet, I quickly laid back, my head almost touching the ground. Phew, another dodge from his attack. My hands darted to the ground, palm down and my fingers facing the direction I was in. In lightning speed, I placed my weight on my hands and kicked at Albedo with both of my feet. Direct hit!

He flew backwards into a tree on the other side of the park. I didn't let my time go to waste. I charged up to him a second later and laid lightning fast punches on him. On my tenth punch, he grabbed my wrist and threw me to the ground. I rolled away just in time to avoid getting kicked on.

Does this guy have ANY manners towards girls?

"How did ma petite get better?" he asked me, smirking.

I smirked back. "Analyzing your technique from the last time we fought. I went easy on you there because you took my by surprise," I replied. Although, this was about half true, I wasn't about to let him know that. I was weak last time, the second time I know better.

I closed my hand into a fist and flicked my fingers out. "Electre'an Spital." I felt the electricity flow through my fingertips. By the time I finished this small enchantment Albedo was waiting for me.

"Ma petite, tired already?" he asked. What a liar! He probably knows what's in store for him! Oh, when I get done with him, he won't know anything anymore! I charged up and slammed a punch right into him. But, he didn't move! That Albedo was waiting for it! GOSH! I did a quick back flip, kicking upwards to hit Albedo's head and avoided the deadly attack. I had left his chest open with blood squirting out. Eww.

"Ma petite, you will need MUCH more than that to defeat me," Albedo said with a slight smirk. He waved his hand and lightning came from under me. I cringed in pain, but it was over as soon as it began. I took a quick breath and Albedo was already behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"It's over, ma petite."

"I will NEVER lose to you again," I replied, chomping down on his arm. Eww, it tasted weird. Albedo let go of me, his arm writhing in pain. He ripped his arm off, either to lose the bite marks or to gross me out. I didn't know which.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" Albedo screamed. Okay, so it wasn't either of them. But I didn't do anything! I just bit him.

"Just kidding."

Albedo wrapped both of his arms around my waist and I was stuck. I heard him mumble a spell, but I didn't feel anything. Weird. And now, this sucks. My hands are at my sides because he's holding me. I heard my name being called and I used a quick spell. "An'mari car'que!"

Onii-chan, Ta, and chaos couldn't get into this battle now. They all slammed on the barrier I had just created to keep them out. My last resort had to be used now.

I scrunched down a little and jumped right back up. I probably disfigured his jaw, seeing how my head hurt a lot. He let me go and I got out of reach. While he was still distracted from his jaw, I charged back up and did a mid-air kick right in his stomach. Jumping up, I shot bolts of fire right at him, every surge sending me higher. After my last surge, Albedo appeared beside me.

"Kind of rude to shoot at someone when they're down, huh?" he asked. Seeing him suddenly next to me almost sent me into shock. My angelic wings shot out of my back, white feathers flying everywhere. My barrier lowered, but no one came to help me. I hope they knew that I only wanted to fight him because I didn't want anyone to get hurt by him. Even if this was chaos' group's fight, I wanted to relieve them of this nuisance. I dodged a quick punch by Albedo and counterattacked. Albedo was sent flying back to the ground. But he did it for emphasis. What a JERK. I was breathing heavily now. I barely had any fight left in me. I was tired, from both the dream and the fighting.

Suddenly, a ship flew past us and a group of people jumped from it. I think it was them. Shion, MOMO, KOS-MOS, Jr., and Ziggy had all jumped from that ship. My wings suddenly zapped themselves back into my body and I free fell from, at least, 200 feet off the ground. I closed my eyes.

Is this the end for me?

End of Chapter 9

Author's Note: OMFUDGE, I almost forgot about this story... the next chapter is the final chapter, so... yeah. I plan on deleting this story in a couple months. If you want to read it and understand what Sumina-chan is saying, you'll have to wait until I upload it onto my site. X3 sorry for the inconvience.

I can tell I wrote this a year or two ago,
