Here's a new one for those that asked for it!
The Oblivion Tournament
Chapter 2: Lunch Meeting
The bell rang for the end of fourth period. Everything fell silent until Shauna came running out of the class as if her life was depending on it! She ran to the lunch line, and fortunately, she was fifth in line. Her face was all flushed because of her history class. "Dang! Why do they learn those stuff! Dates, names, BATTLE tactics, why all so specific!" When she reached the line, they give out some really good food. She had salad with fried chicken that was glazed with orange sauce, small tomatoes, honey roasted almonds, and fresh mandarin oranges.
She looked like she was going to eat it all up right there, in line! But she shook her head off and went to find Shuichi. All she saw was other students. She saw some girls feeding their boyfriends, with food they made for them. Shauna started to blush a little from the sight, but she resumed to finding Shuichi, but no luck.
After her search, she went a tree and eats her lunch. Sometimes when she and her brother eat lunch, it really brings back bad memories, of how they were both living alone, with only each other to protect...
FLASH BACK
7 years ago
At a very young age, Tetsuya was sitting right in front of the T.V., playing Kingdom Hearts II. His mother, Karen, walked to him, tapping on his shoulder, "Tetsuya, time to turn it off."
He looked at his mom, "Huh? Why? Where are we going?" In the game, he saved his game data in The Altar of Naught. He took the memory card and the game disc and placed them into the PSP. (Author: Darn...I really wish I have that!) He walked up to his mother and raised his arms, telling her that he wants a lift.
Karen tapped his nose, "We're going to see an old friend of ours." She then head outside to place him in the car. She then went inside the house to get Shauna. When she knocked the door, Shauna was sitting on her bed, reading a VERY big book, that doesn't look like it's for the level for a 9 year old. "Shauna, come on, I told you that we're going."
"To where?" Shauna asked.
"To visit a friend" Karen replied.
"Which is...?"
"Um...Karasu's parents..."
Shauna's mouth latterly dropped, and so did her body. When she regained her balanced, she was so furious, "WHAT! Why do I have to go along? He's such a pervert! There is this one time when I was wearing a skirt, and he transformed himself into a dog and looked under me! There is no way that I'm going to see him again! I rather go to hell!"
But that didn't work, because Karen gave her the puppy dog eyes, which Shauna was given into. When she agreed to go, they all went to the car and the father, Scott, drove them to a diner restaurant called "Paradise". When they were there, Shauna was the first one to be greeted by Karasu. Shauna was the first to be greeted by Karasu, "It's been a will we have seen each other, Lady Shauna."
"Yeah, sure... Just saying that to please me. Feh! I rather kill you then eating anything for the rest of my life!" She was really irritated by this, how he always want to get her attention, wanted to give what she always wanted, and tried to make her his! When they were going to their seats, she walked quickly to her seat so that Karasu won't pull out the chair for her.
When her father met Karasu's father, they talked like old pals in the past. Then the waiter came for the order. Bronco, Karasu's father, told the waiter some of the foods to order, but he stopped him for a moment and told something secretly in his ear. Shauna got suspicious and looked at her brother, who was playing Kingdom Hearts again.
"Tetsuya, what do you think they're doing?"
"Huh? Oh, Riku just changed back to his original form and Sora and the group is going to defeat Xemnas! I can't wait!"
Shauna looked at the game in interest, but poked her brother in the head, "No! What do you think Bronco is talking about?" Tetsuya looked up from his game and saw what is occurring. He has no idea, but he stick to his sister to make sure things will be alright.
When they have to food out, Shauna's parents were hungry, so they eat a piece of the food, but Shauna smelled something wrong with the food. She stopped her brother and was about to stop her parents, but she could see them sweating. "H-Honey...? What i-is this!" Karen started to cough a lot and so does Scott.
They both fell to the floor, and their children ran for their aid, but they don't have much time to help. Karasu chuckled at the sight of her parents, "Pathetic, and they called themselves the Gatekeepers of the two 4 worlds. How ironic. But Shauna, you may stay with us with your brother."
He was about to touched her shoulder, when a strong aura surround Shauna. Tetsuya was so worried. He cried for his parents, they were dying, in his sight; while he was there, where he couldn't do anything but watch!
Something else happen. Shauna's body then was enveloped with all element colors, red for fire, blue for water, yellow or lighting, brown or earth, green for wood, purple or wind, white for light, and black for darkness. Her physical form changes too. Her face has mysterious markings which covers half of her face. She has sharp talons and her wolf ears looked so alert and the anger in her face, so much that it would scare the king of the underworld. She growled lowly at Karasu, "You must be a great fool. But I think this will end right now."
She raised her right palm up and stood in front of her dead parents and her little brother. "Pha Juk Rom!" She cast a spell that surrounds Karasu and his parents with razor sharp leaves, whirling around them, cutting them. When they were knocked unconscious, Shauna looked at her brother, crying. She placed her hand on his shoulder, and Tetsuya came into her arms. "Sis! Mom and dad! There gone!"
They were so little, Shauna was about 149 (10 years old) and Tetsuya was about 98 (4 years old). Shauna holds her brother in her arms, "It's okay, and I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you now. It's a promise."
They soon carry their dead parents to a hill top where they first picnic. They placed beautiful flowers, showing how much they loved their parents. Tetsuya kneeled down to the grave stone, touching gently on the markings. They then cried out in pain, so loud that the birds flew away from their tree standings. Shauna did shed tears for her parents, but she stay strong so that her parents will be proud of her, and her brother.
After their ceremony of their parent's grave, they both start a new living in the human world, where they are now known to be a human.
End of Flashback
No matter how much she is training her little brother to defend himself, she will always be there when he's endanger. Suddenly, she heard a rustle above her, in the tree. "Hello there." Shauna jumped from her seating and fell on the ground. She looked up to see who it is and it was Shuichi. He looked at her and chuckled, "Well, sorry to keep you waiting here. Are you okay?"
He held out his hand to help her up. When she was up, she still loses her footing. She thought that she was going to fall and hit the ground once more, but as she waited for the pain, nothing happens. She carefully opened one of her eyes, and found her self in Shuichi's arms, and she was leaning backward in a tango dance like step. Her heart pound so loud that she could have swore that he could have heard it too.
When Shuichi couldn't keep his balance, he fell on the ground, along with Shauna. He was able to keep his weight from crushing Shauna, but some of his weight came just enough to make a soft kiss on Shauna's lip. Their eyes meet, everything seems to froze, and in a daze. They couldn't do much but close their eyes and drift away in the fantasy. In 2 minutes, Shuichi let it go. Shauna opened her eyes, "Ugh...what happened...?"
Shuichi looked at her, and his face turned red as his hair. He stood up and this time, he makes sure that he helped her right this time. When they were finally up straight, Shuichi looked away from her and scratched behind his head. When they were finally able to speak, Shuichi started first, "Um...sorry...about that."
They both sat together under the tree, saying that it was their first time to kiss someone, and they later on laugh about it all. When they were settled down, Shauna told him about how she loses her parents. But she made the story different. She told him that her parents died in a car crash.
While telling the story, Shuichi put one arm around her, "It's okay. I lost my father, and my mother passed away because of a sickness. I guess we can relate very easily..." She cried a little in his arms, letting all out, and right there and then. It feels so warm, and she never really has this type of feeling for a long time, till now... Shuichi then bring her face up to wipe away her tears, "Well, there is a Welcome Back dance on Friday, and if you like, I can take you there as a date."
She doesn't know what to say, no one really ask her like that before. Other guys may look at her as a hotty, but Shuichi seems so different from them. "Sure, I'll go." They both smiled at one another and they went back to their classes. Shauna felt so light headed, and so warm... Now, all she has to do is pick out a dress.
