Hey, guys! I'm back! Sorry this took so long. I updated my Inuyasha story first because that is my first priority when I have ideas. Sorry for the delay.
Review Responses: By the way, if you haven't figured out by now, all the people that have their names underlined are authors on this site.
Mystlady: Wow, that's a really good idea. Although I don't remember much about Sailor Moon and I wasn't able to watch a lot of it cause I didn't get home from school until late. But I will defiantly consider the Inu/Pretear crossover. Thanks for reviewing.
Dreamgirllogan: Yay! I'm glad you survived Wilma. I haven't had school for almost two weeks, and I just learned that I won't have school for the rest of the week. More time to do the evil science fair. Oh joy. Anyways, thanks for reviewing. P.S., I was this witch thingy for Halloween, with a black wig and everything.
randomdude: Ok, this is the last time I am gonna say this. I know Sakana means fish. For my friend E's story, we were looking for a name for her character (in her story and mine. Look on my profile for it) and I was using this Japanese translator. She was naming random animals and she liked the name Sakana. So, I hope that clears things up for anyone who's wondering. Thanks for reviewing.
InuYumi: Glad you liked your entrance. Although, I somehow have you acting a lot like me in this chapter. Hehehe. I'll try and make you normal next chapter…wait. Normal is not good. I try and make you normal here, and that would be disaster. You know what I mean, right?
Disclaimer: I don't own Pretear for the last time, you mangy lawyers/throws the nearest object towards them, which just happens to be tuna/
Chapter 7
"What?" Yumi cocked an eyebrow at her sisters.
"You aren't mad at us because we took your room, are you?" Sakana looked up at her sister, hopeful.
"Wait a minute," Yumi ignored her sister and glanced over at the Leafe Knights standing behind them. She walked over to Sasame.
"Can I help you?" he asked as Yumi circled and pokedhim.
"Prove to me that you guys are really the Leafe Knights," Yumi crossed her arms over her chest.
Hayate sighed. "And how do you suppose we do that?"
"If you guys really are the mythical Knights of Leafe, then…you should be able to prêt with the Pretear!" Yumi smirked. Hayate looked completely disgusted.
"Fine, we'll prêt, but we are getting right back to normal once we do," Hayate spat.
"Boy, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," Akane muttered.
"Oh, can I prêt with Goh again?" Sakana begged.
"Sure, go ahead," Akane shrugged.
"Yay!" Sakana squealed while Goh tried to hide behind Sasame.
"Ha! Goh's afraid of a girl!" Mannen teased, earning a glare from Goh.
"I am not afraid!" Goh defended.
"Then prove it," Hajime dared.
"Fine!" Goh huffed and strutted in front of a grinning Sakana.
"Let's go, Steed!" Sakana shouted and grabbed Goh's hand. They two disappeared in a brilliant flash of red light. The light subsided, leaving a Fire Pretear in its place.
"Wow," Yumi let out a dry whistle.
"That is so not fair!" Sakana huffed.
"What?" Yumi blinked.
"Why is it that everyone else on this entire planet can whistle but me?" Sakana yelled, causing everyone to cringe slightly.
"I don't know. You're just special I guess," Yumi said and turned to Akane. "What about you, Akane? Didn't you say you both were Pretears?"
"Yeah, we are, but…" Akane let her sentence trail off as she looked over towards an annoyed Hayate. What am I thinking! Akane scolded herself. Forget it. This is stupid, she finalized. Standing tall, she walked over to her Leafe Knight of choice.
"Yes?" Sasame cocked his head slightly. Akane held out her hand in response. Still slightly confused as to why she had chosen him, Sasame took her hand, and the two disappeared in a flash of white light. Akane's sense of hearing increased ten fold as she felt Sasame's Leafe fuse with her own.
"Holy hell," Yumi let another whistle escape her lips. Akane paid her no mind and glanced over at Hayate. He was staring at her, his expression unreadable; however, for a split second Akane thought she could see a slight tinge of jealousy show in his eyes before she blinked and the emotion disappeared. Akane smirked slightly.
"Wow, so you guys really are the Leafe Knights," Yumi stared, wide-eyed at the Knights and the Sound and Fire Pretears.
"Yep," Sakana grinned.
"Hey, can I see some of your attacks?" Yumi asked excitedly.
"Sure!" Akane said as she and Sakana raced out the door, all the others in tow.
"Ok, so do you want us to fight or do you want to just see our powers?" Sakana asked.
"Oh, fight, fight!" Yumi exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Ok, Sakana. Be prepared to lose," Akane taunted.
"Oh yeah? Fire can beat sound any day because…" Sakana fiddled for a reason. "…just because I said so!"
Akane blinked. "Well, let's prove that little theory of yours wrong," Akane rose into the air and focused her Leafe.
"Fire Axe!" cried Sakana as a giant axe of fire materialized in her hands. She swung it around a few times, showering the other Knights with little sparks before she followed her sister in the air.
"Hey, watch where you're swinging that thing!" Kei cried.
"Wow, you guys can fly?" Yumi stared in awe at her sisters, oblivious to the sparks of fire. "Oh my god, I have aliens for sisters! AAHHHHH!" Yumi screamed.
Akane sweat dropped. "We are not aliens!"
"Ready, Akane?" Sakana interrupted, swinging her axe in the air.
"Hey, seriously. Watch where you're swinging that thing!" Hajime cried as dozens of little sparks showered him.
"Oh, quit being such a baby. You could always douse the fire with your power, anyways," Akane retorted and Hajime pouted. Akane refocused he Leafe, meditating in mid-air.
Sakana let out a battle cry and charged towards Akane, startling her out of her meditation. "Ah!" she shouted and quickly dodged the attack.
"Stay still, would ya? I can't hit you if you don't," Sakana smirked.
"Too bad, then, 'cause I really don't feel like getting burnt to a crisp right now!" Akane shouted and quickly recollected her Leafe. "Sonic Arrow!" she shouted. A blast of sound rocketed towards her sister. Sakana, seeing almost no where to go, tried defending herself and Goh with the axe. The attack collided with it in a blast of smoke.
Sakana coughed. She couldn't see where she or her sister was. Akane smirked and took this chance to attack. She flew in towards her sister's silhouette in the smoke and ash. Just as she was about to land a punch, a gust of wind from below stopped her in her tracks. She looked down. Hayate was using his power to blow the smoke away!
"Hayate, what are you doing?" Akane asked, surprised.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm blowing the smoke away so your sister can see what she's doing," Hayate said simply.
"But…I was about to win!" she whined.
"Well, too bad, cause I'm gonna win this one," a voice called behind her. Akane spun around quickly to come face to face with Sakana, who had an evil grin on her face. "Fists of Fire!" she shouted and her fists erupted in flames. She punched Akane in the gut, sending her flying towards the ground.
"Ow," Akane groaned in pain.
"Akane, you okay?" Mannen, Hajime, and Shin shouted.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Akane smiled. "But how the hell did she learn that attack? I thought she only had one, just like everyone else- the Fire Axe?" Akane gazed at her sister curiously.
"Ha! I won this time!" Sakana gloated as she touched the ground.
"What the hell was that? 'Fists of Fire'? I thought you only had the Fire Axe?" Akane bombarded her sister with questions to her sudden victory.
"Yep. Goh said I could concentrate my Leafe into my hands, so I did and gave it a name!" Sakana grinned and stood proudly.
You are able to do the same, Akane, Sasame advised.
"Well, why didn't you tell me that sooner?" Akane yelled. "Never mind. Sorry," she sighed and un-preted with the Knight of Sound.
"Don't yell at Sasame!" Yumi scolded. "The Sonic Arrow, or whatever you called it, is basically the same thing as what Sakana used. You just focused your Leafe into your mouth instead of your fists."
"Yeah, don't blame Sasame because you lost for once in your life," Sakana taunted.
"I've lost things before, Sakana. I'm not perfect," Akane countered. Just as Sakana was about to retort, Akane cut her off. "Never mind, just drop it, ok? Sorry for yelling, Sasame."
"That's alright," he smiled at her in reassurance.
"So do you believe we are the Pretears now?" Sakana asked her sister.
"Yep," Yumi answered. "But one thing is still bugging me. Why are there two Pretears? I thought there was only supposed to be one?""
"Yeah, why are there two of us?" Akane and Sakana asked.
The Knights shifted uncomfortably. Sasame broke the awkward silence. "We are not exactly sure why there happened to be two Pretears; however, we think it is because you two are twin sisters," Sasame guessed.
"But still. Isn't there supposed to be only one Princess of Life?" Akane pointed out.
"Yes, that is what we thought," Sasame sighed.
"I didn't believe it when Hayate told us there were two Pretears," Kei said.
"I think it's because it means more kids," Mannen whispered in the sisters' ears.
"Hey, I heard that!" Kei shouted and Mannen ducked behind Sakana.
"Mannen, quit being such a wimp," Goh said and Akane laughed.
"Well, I guess two Pretears are better than one. At least I hope you two can watch each other's backs," Yumi laughed.
"Yep, we won't have to worry about you breathing down our necks," Sakana added, receiving a hard slap on her head "Ow! Hey, what was that for?"
"For being a smart ass," Yumi answered. Sakana scowled.
Akane's stomach decided it wanted to be heard. "Hehehe," she laughed sheepishly as everyone stared at her. "Who's hungry for some ramen?"
"Oh, me!" Sakana and the young Knights cheered and rushed into the house.
"Yeah, I'm up for some ramen, too!" Goh agreed and followed.
Akane sweat dropped. "Well, I'm glad we have a pantry full of ramen."
"Those guys are bottomless pits when it comes to ramen," Kei warned.
"Don't worry. When you've lived with Sakana all your life and your parents are always working, you learn to keep a huge stash of ramen ready for emergencies," Akane explained.
"Ok, what flavor do you guys want?" Akane asked everyone once they were settled at the huge wood table.
"Who cares, just get us some ramen!" Sakana exclaimed.
"Ok, ok. Hold your horses," Akane chose several of each flavor of ramen and prepared several huge pots of water, turning the stove on.
"We have horses?" Shin asked innocently.
"No, Shin. It's just a figure of speech," Sasame explained.
"There are different kinds of ramen?" Hajime asked.
"Yep. There's chicken, roasted chicken, creamy chicken, beef, roasted beef…," Sakana continued to list the many delectable flavors of ramen, causing the boys and Goh's mouth to water.
"Ramen's almost ready!" Akane called out from the kitchen.
"Wow, that was fast," Goh said, surprised.
"Yep, it's instant ramen-only takes 5 minutes to make, two of those minutes boiling water," Sakana explained.
"Hey, can someone help me bring this stuff out?" Akane poked her head out of the kitchen door.
"Sure," Sasame volunteered and followed Akane back into the kitchen.
"Wow, you have a very nice kitchen," Sasame awed at the hugged kitchen. It had light cherry wooden cabinets and black, sparkling granite countertops. The appliances were all stainless steel, and a little island counter stood in the middle of the room.
"Thanks," Akane smiled and walked over to the convection stove.
"Wow, you certainly were busy," Sasame stared at the many pots on the stove.
"Yep. Better to be safe than sorry. I had no idea how much ramen to make, but if those guys are just like Sakana, then I had to get out the big pots," Akane heaved one of the ramen-filled pots over to the dinning room. "Grab one of the pots and follow me. Be careful, They're hot, so grab a towel if you need one."
Sasame did as he was told and followed Akane back into the eating quarters, which had already turned into a disaster area as Sakana, Goh, and the boys helped themselves.
"Hey, guys, relax. There's more where that came from," Akane laughed at the ramen-hungry people stuffing their faces.
Akane took the pot of ramen from Sasame and set it in front of Hayate, Kei, and Yumi, who were staring wide-eyed at the scene in front of them. "Here's your own pot of ramen." Akane took her usual seat across from Yumi, which just happened to be next to Hayate. Sasame took the only extra seat left next to Yumi, who was already digging into the big pot of warm ramen.
Once Yumi came up for air along with her plate of ramen, the other Knights served themselves, much more mannerly than the others.
"What's wrong, Akane? I thought you liked ramen," Yumi asked through a mouthful of food.
"I do," she answered. Several noodles flew across the table and landed on her head. "Just not this much," she scowled and flicked the long, wiggly noodles off her.
"Hey!" Kei yelled. Akane glanced questioningly at her.
She stifled a laugh. "Hehehe, sorry."
Sakana just so happened to have seen what happened and shouted, "Food fight!" The remainder of dinner was pure chaos.
A/N: Yeah I know I made up some attacks. I really don't care. Anyways, it gives the Pretears and Knights more variety with attacks. No boo boos for anyone! Lol…ok…I'll stop now. By the way, Yumi is my friend Natalie, who is InuYumi on this site.
The ramen thing. Yeah, I don't know really how long it takes to make ramen, since I never timed myself; but I do know that the ramen I buy- Maruchan Ramen- takes only two and a half minutes or so to make once the water's actually boiled. Mmm, ramen. /mouth waters/
I am definitely gonna repost this story. I went back through it, and I noticed a lot of things wrong, like I called Mannen the Leafe Knight of Water. I know perfectly well that he is the Leafe Knight of Ice/Freezing, whatever you want to call it. I'll fix everything later once this story is finished. For now, please review. And if you see anything out of place, tell me!
