I was in wonder as I looked about the village of Dobi, everything was not what I had expected. It was like a tourist place but for Shamans. But in the far distrance I could see the Great Spirits, going high into the sky almost touching the heavens. And that was the greatest wonder of them all.
"Its so wonderful around here, I hope to never go back to my world." I told Zeke as I walked by his side.
Zeke looked at her and smiled."You won't have to. Once I become Shaman King you can stay here, with me, and we will make the earth a better place for us Shamans to live in." Zeke told her, reaching his hand out from beneath his poncho he took a hold of her hand.
I looked down at my left hand, then up at him. Smiling I looked a way and grasped his hand within my own. And we walked on, I though was keeping a eye out for Yoh and his friends. For I still needed to talk to a certain purple-spiked-haired Shaman.
We walked on, looking at many of the places and shops within the village. Alot of people were staring at us, including some of the X-laws followers and the looks that they gave me were pure hatred. And it sacred me.
"Zeke, I think I'll just walk on by myself for now, I will see you later at the camp." and with that I gave him a kiss on the cheek, and left in search of someone.
I walked on. When I knew I was far enough away from where I left Zeke I went about, looking around and asking people where Yoh Askaura and his friends were. It took about a hour-and-a-half till I found the place they were living at.
I walked up to the door, opening it carefully I walked in. Looking around I saw no one. So I conutined on, going up the steps and entering one of the bedrooms. No one. The next. Nope no one there either. The third one, I looked in and was about to go out when I saw him. Sitting on the floor, legs crossed and his sword in his lap. The one and only Len Tao.
I tip-toed quietly in, going right up to him and bending down so my face was close to his and I gave him a quick kiss on the nose. His eyes flew open so fast I thought they were going to fall out. When he saw who it was his face became so red I could do nothing but fall on the floor and brust out laughing.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" he yelled jumping up and pinning me down to the floor, I just conutined to laugh, he looked so cute when he was blushing like a little girl.
"Well good morning to you to Sunshine." I said laughing like crazy.
Len turned even redder, he gave a great frustred sigh and pushed himself up off of her. Damn that girl she is always able to bring out the worst in him. Even when its good.
I sat up, smiling at him. "Oh Lenny don't be all pent-up. I thought you be gald to see me, but I can tell you are quite busy with your medation. So I will come back later ok?" I said getting up, I was pretending to be leaving so he would say something or at least do something. After all he loves me.
Doesn't he?
I was almost to the door, he didn't even try to stop me. I don't know why it upset me so but it did. Greatly. I mean I loved Zeke and I was here just so I can be sure Len was ok after our fight in the underwater cave. Thats all it was, just to be sure. Then why do I feel sad that he isn't trying to stop me from leaving?
Len stared at the floor, he heard her leaving. His mind was screaming at him to stop her, but he couldn't. She didn't love him she didn't even care what he felt for her. So why sould he stop her?
'Because you thick-headed jackass, you love her no matter who she is with. So get up off your lazy ass and stop her. Before its too late.' commad his mind.
Len's eyes shot open, he looked up and saw her going through the door. Getting up he forced his legs to go after her, and with that he chased her down. Grabbing her by the arms he spun her around to face him, and with whatever courage he had left he kissed her.
My eyes flew right open, I couldn't believe it what just happened for it happened so quickly. His lips were so warm instead of being cold like I thought they might be. My whole body screamed at me to pull away, but within my heart I kissed him back. I felt my cheeks become wet and that was when I realised that I was crying, crying because I was betraying Zeke, crying because Len still indeed loved me, crying because I felt torn apart between two people. One who was evil and bent on destorying the world, the other bent on trying to restore his familys name.
I pulled myself away roughly, staring at Len through tear-filled eyes I shook my head trying to rid of what I was feeling.
"No Len, no." I whispered, my face wet from my tears. "I can't, I Won't!. I am devoted towards Zeke, I won't break the promise I made to him. I can't be with you, I just can't." I kept shaking my head, trying to rid this moment from my mind.
"Thomasina...why?" Len aske quietly, looking up at her with his golden eyes.
I stared at Len."Because Zeke is the only one who will help me when he restores the world. My world will pay for hurting me, for not trusting me, for shutting me out. They will all pay. You can't do that for you just want to restore your familys honor, you don't know the pain I went through during my 13 years in school and at home. No one will ever understand." and with that I turned and ran, as far and fast as I could away from Len, away from everyone.
Len stood there, his heart breaking into a million pieces, his mind hating, dispising everything about her now. Len hated her, he wanted her and she threw it in his face.
"Damn you! Damn you! DAMN YOU ZEKE ASAKURA!" Len shouted, he hit the wall with his fist, blood dripped from the cuts but he didn't care, he cared for nothing now. Expect to finish the Tourament and regain his familys honor.
And to hurt the one he once loved Thomasina Dorey.
