Kokoro was blushing and trembling, speechless with Sai's actions.

"You think that in front of people you know your safe from my attack? Safe from Matsuro and I? Think that things will return to normal? Sorry, you're wrong. Today after school lets met at our old playground. I'll crush you then leave this forsaken school and get rich. I'll have power and you'll be left here with nothing for you, no even a five-year-old child.

Sai pushed Kokoro into the nearest pervert and stomped out of the room, not even glancing at Fuyu and Yuki as she left school for the day.

Pocket notebook

Chapter 3

The final bell of the day rang and students launched them selves out of the school doors. Talking and yelling about the day behind them with the weekend before them. Today's favorite topic was Sai.

Sai the girl scared of bugs, the girl gone blonde from surviving chemotherapy. Suddenly acting out? No one had ever thought Sai could do such a thing.

A girl with bleached blonde hair walked next to the tall baseball captain. "I bet she made a bet with Kokoro, no way some one like Sai would done anything like that with out some real good push."

"Sure Sai wouldn't do anything like this with out a push, but Kokoro making her bet it? I doubt it; Kokoro is to shy to talk to her own shadow. She doesn't want her friends making too much unnecessary attention."

At the lockers three girls stood talking about the days events. Kokoro, Yuki and Fuyu whispered.

"I've never seen Sai act like this, it's really scary. The last time she did anything it was when the doctors put her on chemo. All she did then was cut her hair so short I wouldn't wear it." Fuyu said running her hands thorough her short hair.

"Yeah that's true," Yuki muttered, "Hey! Kokoro! Where're you going?" she had noticed Kokoro close her locker and start walking down the powder blue tiled floor.

"I'm going to find Sai," Kokoro muttered, blushing madly, and starring at her feet.

Fuyu yelled at Kokoro's back "Don't come to school Monday with more holes in you!"

Kokoro turned and smiled at her friends, "I try my best."

Kokoro walked over to her house with the doghouse in front. "Twerps I'm home!" two boys about ten and eleven opened a door upstairs and poked their heads out.

"Hey sis! I heard that you went over to Hino's with a couple million holes in you! Who did us the favor?" the eleven year old shouted.

"Yeah, oh by the way, when are you going to clean Midorimaru's cage?" the ten year old shouted pointing at the green bird behind him.

"Midorimaru's your pet, you take care of him. I'm not going to take care of him just because I'm sorry that he has to put up with you! If I clean that stupid cage one more time he's mine! You hear me! I'm not putting up with you guys!" Kokoro yelled stomping up the stairs, Bijutsu right behind her.

"Fine!"

"Yeah, bye!" both boys zipped back into the room.

Kokoro opened the door that had a wooden plague resembling a ribbon. Burned on it in almost cursive was:

Hiyotaka Kokoro

The room was painted a soft creamy pink. The floor and ceiling was a deep cherry wood. A desk rested between the bed with a light blue comforter with many pillows in the same color and the window that could see the entire street. On the wall next to the window was a long book case filled with different language books and color coded pocket sized note books. Several black, purple, blue, white, yellow, and green notebooks were neatly organized. A single red notebook sat by it's self. The red note book looked hand made. Instead of professional, store-bought, binding. It was bound by a single red ribbon and tied shut with another red ribbon.

Kokoro reached out and grabbed the only misfit pocket book. On the cover in bubbly writing Hiyotaka Kokoro was scrawled across. In side Kokoro flipped for an empty page and wrote in the same almost cursive hand writing that was on her door:

Sai and I both have Mamodos, little demon children. Mine doesn't seem to be much different then my little brothers, but Sai's has posed her. I'm so scared. I'm going to fight Mamodo verse Mamodo to see if I can change her back. Wish my luck.

Kokoro closed the book and rested it on the book shelf beside it's self. "Bijutsu wait out here, I'm going to change into something destroy-able."

Kokoro stood in peach shorts and a hot pink t-shirt clutching the blue-green book to her heart. Her bandages were clearly visible. Bijutsu and the white dog Yuki stood beside her.

Sai stood casually in a blue jean miniskirt and black tank top, cut well above her belly button. She was holding her purple book up, as if to say, here it is, come get it. The evil child stood beside her.

This was the first time Kokoro had gotten a good look at the child. He wore a black cloak. His black jeans where visible once the cloak stopped. His eyes were a deep violet with two lines tracing his face from his left eye and one line form the other. So this was Matsuro.

"Isn't it fitting that the place that I saved you at when we where little has a sand box over it?" Sai said oddly, "how about this?" she took a deep breath, "Famak!"

A single rope flew from the child's hand. It was thick enough to fit a large TV in it, it blasted into the sandbox. Kicking the sand into the air and destroying the sand box completely.

Kokoro held her breath and closed her eyes as the dust brushed over her and Bijutsu. Sai wasn't that patient and took advantage of the sand.

"Famak!"

The strings, hair thick, grazed Kokoro's arm slicing the bandages. Kokoro watched as the bandages fell to the ground revealing hundreds of holes pencil thick scabbed over and slightly red skin surrounding them.

Kokoro winced at the thought of fighting her friend, but it was now or never. She could only hope this was some sort of attack.

"YAMAR!"

Bijutsu held his hand to the air. A ball of red light formed in his hand. He gave it a squeeze and it formed a sword. He charged at Matsuro.

Bijutsu leaped into the air and desended onto Matsuro and stabed his light blade into his shoulder. Matsuro screamed in pain. Bijutsu pulled the sword out of Matsuro's shoulder to reveal there was no hole.

Sai starred at the spot that Bijutsu had stabbed Matsuro. "Matsuro, I think they use illusions."

Matsuro staggered to his feet, "This is no illusion, stupid woman."

Kokoro stood beside Bijutsu, who was now light sword-less, "Sai! Are you just going to take that? You're just going to let him call you stupid?"

Sai sighed, "Whatever, I don't care."

Matsuro laughed, "See, she's such a good girl. Before she wouldn't fight with me, now she's my type of woman. Stupid and hot."

Kokoro's strength failed her, and she began to cry. Her Sai, her best friend was no longer her.

"Hey, Matsuro, you wanna try that untested spell?"

Kokoro snapped her head up in disbelief Sai had two spells?

"Famakur!"

Kokoro's eyes widened at the sight of this new spell coming from Matsuro's hand.

A/N:

Bwahahahahaha! I'll leave it right there.

I don't own Zatch Bell.

This little thing does have a spoiler.

Kokoro: this is so boring, like any one cares to see my room full of pocket notebooks and writing in a red one. It's pretty dumb.

Me: Kokoro the story is called "Pocket Notebook" Sai gave you that notebook when you where really scared and Sai's Chinese color-coded. Red is for good luck.

Kokoro: no one cares that I got it from Sai!

Me: well if they don't YOU DO!

Kokoro: am I suppose to write in cursive?

Me: yes, I think it's a pretty way to write.

Kokoro: can you write cursive?

Me: completely forgot

Kokoro: and you want me to write cursive?

Me: yes

Kokoro: I don't know cursive!

Me: hmmmmmmm, Bijutsu!

Bijutsu: yeah?

Me: do you know how to write cursive?

Bijutsu: is that Italian?

Me: no

Bijutsu: Romanian?

Me: no

Bijutsu: Anythinganerican? (Any thing anerican)

Me: …… I don't know what it is I can't read it.

Camera guy: neither can half the English-speaking people, now can we get a move on?

Me: can you read cursive?

Camera guy: never wrote in print

Me: wow that's girly. Set this guy up with the wood burner!

Later

Me: that's ALMOST cursive. Fine no one will notice. It's still really girly
