Ow...(Chibi black cat now has various injuries, cuts, and bruises)...ok...I think I learned my lesson. Never do that again. I humbly apologize. You can put the weapons back now. (fans give Sakura/C.B.C suspicious look, and put the weapons down) ok. This was sort of hard to do (espescially when Ray and Kai are aruging) but, I made it through. Have to give me that!
Chapter 42: Admittance
The phone rang at about 3:20 A.M. The girl groaned as she picked up the source of that annoying noise.
"Listen, you stinkin' sellers, I'm not—" a sniffing noise interrupted the girls groan. "…Jud?" (pronounced jew-d)
"Sniff…he…told me…"
"Told you what?" the girl asked, concerned for her friend. "Who told you what?" her friend sniffed again.
"He told me…""You what, Kai?" Tysa asked, oblivious to Kai's internal battle.
"I…I…" Kai realized the more he delayed, the harder it was to say it. "Tysa, I—ow!" Something fell, from the tree onto Kai's head.
"Oh, look. An acorn." Tysa said as she moved up to Kai and picked up the pesky seed. She looked up towards the tree and noticed what time it was. "Ah, I have to go home…guess I was looking for Chaos all day. You can tell me later, Kai, ok?" Tysa said as she started to run home. Kai looked up and glared at the tree.
My one chance to tell Tysa…and it gets ruined by an acorn! Great…now I'm expressing anger towards a tree…wait a minute…acorns aren't that hard…it's like someone threw the thing at me…but who?
The next day, all Kai could think about was who threw the acorn at him. It was annoying, thinking about who wouldn't want Kai to tell Tysa how he felt. Let's see, the only one he knew with aim like that who wasn't Tysa was…
Oh. Well, that was and wasn't obvious at the same time.
Ray started to walk back to his apartment through his usual shortcut in the woods.
"Kon." Ray stopped at hearing his last name and turned around.
"Oh, hi, Kai."
"Were you here last night?"
"Well, this is how I usually get home." Ray said, innocently. Kai kept his glare.
"Did you see either me or Tysa last night?"
"Well, if you were here, then I would've seen you."
"You threw that acorn at me, didn't you?"
"So what if I did throw an acorn at you?" Ray said as he turned back around. "It's not like you would've told Tysa anything that important."
"Like you would know what I would say to Tysa." Kai growled.
"Not like you were going to." Ray turned his face back to Kai. "Do you know how nervous you looked?"
"Why do you even care?"
"Because I care about Tysa." Ray turned back to Kai.
"Saying that I don't?"
"Well, when bad goes worse, you're the first to jump ship!" Ray yelled. Kai was sort of surprised at Ray's current spine, but didn't show it.
"Oh, like you'll be able to keep her happy?"
"More than you!"
"Uh…am I interrupting something?" The two boys turned their eyes to a very blank looking Tysa. "What are you two doing?" The boys turned their heads back to each other, glared, then turned their backs and crossed their arms.
"Nothing, Tysa." Ray answered, not looking at the girl.
"Like I would want anything to do with him." Kai answered, also not looking at Tysa. Tysa sighed.
I actually heard them yelling and came to stop them…but they still are…I wonder why?
"Well…how about we go back to my house for dinner?" Tysa asked, hoping to stop their argument.
"No thanks, Tysa." Ray responded.
"Same here." Kai growled and started to storm off. Ray did the same, but in a seemingly less angry manner. Tysa wasn't sure who she should watch go.
"Hard decision, isn't it?"
"Huh?" Tysa blinked. She then looked up in the tree behind her. "Chaos!" Chaos jumped down in front of Tysa.
"Your lack of social skills amazes me everyday."
"What does that mean?" Tysa asked, still blank.
"You have two guys after your heart, and it never occurred to you that you would have to pick one? Didn't you watch the movie 'Sweet Home Alabama?' Then again, don't answer that, because I know you did." Tysa could feel sweat drops on her head.
"I was…younger. I don't remember it…"
"Don't tell me you don't stinking remember it, because it reminded you of 'City Mouse, Country Mouse' which was your favorite story. Must we go further down memory lane? Or must I remind you about the time when—"
"Ok, ok! I get it!" Tysa yelled. "It's just that…my type in guys is…jumbled."
"Oh yeah. I remember that you were the only girl who dared to mix Death by Chocolate with Angel Vanilla." Tysa slumped her shoulders.
"What does that mean?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Nothing." Boy is she dense…I suppose that's why she has me… "So, what is your type in guys?"
"Huh?" Tysa's eyes widened, then started to dart from side to side. "Oh, look, I think I see my—" Tysa started to run, but Chaos grabbed the back of her neck collar. "Ummph."
"I've been living in your body for fourteen years, and you think I don't know how your mind works."
"Uh…"
"Ok, pick one."
"Huh?"
"Chocolate or vanilla."
"Uh…but they're both good…Ow!" Tysa grabbed her head after Chaos banged her fist on it.
"See? That's your problem! You have two preferences for your two personalities!"
"Two personalities?" Tysa asked blankly.
Oh, god, she's horribly dense! Chaos thought bitterly. But, I suppose that makes people like her in the first place.
"Never mind. The point is that—actually, never mind that too. Just think for a while."
Think? What am I supposed to think about! I mean, she already got me hungry with that ice cream thing…I want some chocolate ice cream now…or vanilla…or both…wait a minute……oh. Tysa blinked. Chaos couldn't tell if she made a breakthrough or fainted.
"Are you in there, Tysa?" Chaos asked. "Or am I supposed to do shock therapy?"
"…You know, I don't think I need to realize that…"
"And then what? End up alone?" Tysa was quiet. "…You really can't choose, huh?"
"But, Chaos…they both have good and bad points…and I…" Tysa cut herself off and looked down. Chaos wrinkled her face, trying to fight the need to hug the girl. She lost. "Huh? Chaos…what are you…"
"Listen, I've been through my share of lives, and I can't tell you how many times something like this has happened. Those girls deserved what you're going through, but…you don't. If this goes on, there's a 70 percent change they'll both dump you."
"What about the other 30?"
"25 percent is that one of them will dump you and you can have the other one. 5 percent is that they both decide to keep liking you no matter what your decision is. But that doesn't happen very often."
"I'll take your word for it."
"Good." Chaos then released Tysa. Tysa was quiet.
"Why are you doing so nice to me?"
"You asked that to Tala before, didn't you?"
"Yeah…wait, how did you…?" Chaos patted Tysa on the back.
"No matter how negative you act, people just like you more. It's sort of strange actually…"
"Heh…" Chaos smiled a bit. Suddenly, her face became serious as she noticed that the hand she was still on Tysa's back was starting to faze into her body, unknown to the other girl.
What! Not now! Not yet! Chaos thought frantically as she quickly removed her hand.
"Huh? Chaos? What's wrong?" Tysa asked.
"Nothing, Tysa…" Chaos seethed, although not towards the girl. "I'll have to see you later!" Chaos then flew off.
"Wait, Chaos!" Tysa said, then stopped. It's almost like…we were friends for that instance…
"I can't believe this is happening to me!" Chaos growled when she was out of earshot from Tysa. "This body…is not…lasting…" Chaos said as she landed weakly. "Even my power's draining…I can barely fly…"
"That's because her body is getting powerful enough to take you back in." Chaos looked up and saw a kid about Tysa's age.
"What are you…"
"Here. Eat this." The kid held something out to Chaos. Chaos glared shakily. "You have something you want to finish, don't you?" Chaos kept her glare, but took the object. It had a strange silver glow to it.
"Who…are you?" Chaos asked. The kid smiled.
"Heh. My name's Shui."
Shui...Shui...hopefully that rings some bells...and Chapter 43 is really hard to write right now. Hilary and Tysa have a talk, and we see Tysa's softer side. Imagine how hard that is to write! Oh, and I'm running out of One Shot ideas...(Sleeping C.B.C.)...so, whoever guesses what game I ordered from Amazon gets to have a One Shot idea made (has to have Tysa in it in some way.). Here's a hint for those who are interested: It focuses on three characters that appeared in the Kingdom Hearts 2 game.
