Chapter 9

Tai-yun-jun had locked herself in her innermost chamber. Her face held a mixture of fear and dispair as she made her way to her looking glass that would allow her to see anything.

"Kita," she said causing the surface of the glass to move in ripples as it revealed a small dungeon in a little uncommonly known kingdom of Shabang.(AN:../giggles./...).

Tai-yun-jun gasped in horror as she saw Kita's body being forcefully dragged away by Tenielle.

She looked knowingly at him. "It's just as I suspected. He who has fallen shall arise to take back his throne aided by one or more powerful beings." She was reciting but a small portion of the prophecy.

"Don't worry my child," she said with resolve. "We will get you back here. It is of the utmost importance that you two be together for your powers to be whole." With a wave of her hand Tai-yun-jun errased the looking glass and made her way out. "Let's just hope this plan works."

-----------------------

Kita woke up in what seemed to be a very, very soft bed. She sat up and stretched her arms out while yawning. She stopped in mid-yawn, however, when she realized that this wasn't her bed. This wasn't her room. Most of all...these weren't her clothes...

'What's the big idea?!", she thought. 'Before I was wearing sweat pants and a sweat shirt. Now I'm dressed up like Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind!' (red satin dress). 'One thing I know is that it better not have been a man...oooh if it was, then I'm going on a big killing spree!'

Kita looked around her surroundings and noticed that everything seemed so ancient. "Either they took me too some weird Chinese Auction, or into the past. I don't know which.", she stated.

She then remembered what had happened to her and Jiru, hoping that her dear friend was alright and in a safer place. She remembered that when Jiru made that weird portal she noticed that a strand of her hair had turned white, as if she couldn't take the strain anymore. Kita gave a thoughtful look. 'That was really weird.' she thought.

She also recalled being ganged up upon by some uber big thugs who had knocked her out. Supposedly this was the place they had taken her. 'Man, I gotta get outta here.'

While looking for a way out to escape Kita noticed her old clothes folded nicely in a corner. Upon closer inspection she found out that the hood of her sweater was jumping up a little.

Cautiously Kita lifted the hood and a small furry object jumped out at her. "Ah! Get it off!" She whispered, so as not to attract attention. "Get it off!"

"Meow!" Kita stopped short. "Hona?", she whispered. Hona jumped off of Kita's face. "Meow."

"Oh Hona. I am so glad to see you. I thought that I'd never see you again!" Kita hugged Hona tightly...a little too tightly, however, as Hona's eyes started to pop out. The door handle started to rattle, signifying that someone was entering the room.

"Quick. Hide." Kita shoved Hona back in her hood. The door opened to reveal (evil) Lord Briko who walked with the air of one who just smoked a cuban cigar. 'Who does this guy think he is?', she thought.

"Ah! I see that you have awoken!".(evil) Briko exclaimed "We are going to have so much fun together."

Kita wasn't sure if she heard right as she rose an eyebrow. "We?", she asked. "What do you mean, we?" (evil) Briko scrunched his face and pouted.

"You mean to tell me that you haven't figured it out yet?" He walked closer to her. "You, my dear, are going to be my lovely bride!"

Kita looked at him in disgust and disbelief as she opened her mouth and dropped her jaw. If she had opened her mouth any wider it would have touched the ground. Sure, she thought him mildly attractive but she wouldn't dare marry a man she just met. More so a man who had just ruined her life!

"Don't act so surprised, love.", (evil) Briko said. "You will soon get over it."

Kita was getting mad now. 'How dare he walk all over me like this?!' Acting all smooth-like she calmly replied. "Oh? And just how are you goin' to get me to marry you?" (evil) Briko held up a box of chocolates. "Why, with these of course!"

Kita looked at the box of chocolates as it sunk it. "Say, your not the man who was just at my house before, are ya?"

"Smart and beautiful!" (evil) Briko exclaimed. "You know if it hadn't been for your sister getting in the way then it may have saved you the pain." He motioned to the scars on her arms and legs.

"She's not my sister." "Oh? Well then..."

(evil) Briko was answered through pain as Kita kicked him swiftly between his legs. She ran out the door as (evil) Briko doubled-over and fell to the floor.(that's a popular spot to kick now a days...huh?).

She didn't make it far from the door as two big muscled-clad men grabbed both of her arms and stopped her while Tenielle slowly walked from around the corner towards her. Now matter how hard Kita struggled she just couldn't make herself free. "I wouldn't stuggle if I were you Kita. You wouldn't want one of these guys to accidentally rip your arm off would you?"

"What do you want?!", she screamed as they dragged her back to the room. Tenielle looked at her in mock surprise. "Why, Kita, I thought Briko had already went through that...You see, we want you." (How does he know her name you ask?...magic.)

Tenielle looked thoughtfully at Kita. "You know you two have every right to be each other's sister. Considering that you two have the same mother...but not the same father. You too still look exactly alike."

"What are you talking about? We have no mother!" Kita shouted at him. Then added hesistantly, "You are not our father are you...if we actually are sisters?" Deep down she kinda knew he was right. She and Jiru were too much alike to be friends.

Tenielle looked at her with disgust. "Oh dear god no! She wouldn't accept me then at that moment. Instead she found...others." He added with hatred.

"Wait! How do you know our mother, is she still alive?" She asked.

"Oh we go way back," he said "After my father's Kingdom fell apart we became close friends, but then she dumped me. Now that I have found the prophecy, I will get back at her." Then added. "You should know that she is still alive...I mean she has been watching over you two for atleast twenty years."

"You mean she's in this world?" Then added. "I don't believe a word you say!" Kita started to struggle some more as her bracelets expanded up her arms. She tossed the two men over her shoulder as she made her way to punch Tenielle's face.

"And I thought we were going to be such good friends." Tenielle calmly replied as he lazily lifted up his hand, palm facing Kita, as a bright flash came out momentarily putting her in a daze. She was so caught off guard that the hair-clip she was wearing got loose and fell to the floor near Hona, who was looking up in fear.

"Now!" Tenielle shouted. The two goons came back and grabbed Kita's arms while a limping (evil) Briko walked up to her with the box of deadly chocolates. He took one out and shoved it in Kita's mouth while she screamed.

Kita's body started to twitch uncontrollably as she tried to fight off the drug. But it was just too strong for her. She stood still as her eyes rolled up inside her head. "It worked!", exclaimed an ecstatic (evil) Briko. (guess he got over the pain). "This is your moment so don't waste it." Tenielle said to him.

"Alrighty then!" (evil) Briko stood straight as he faced Kita and gave his instructions. (hynotized people need instructions) "You, Kita are to be my bride...and you shall love me. If anyone were to come between us they shall be killed by your hands, especially if it is your green-haired sister."

Kita's mind was screaming. It stopped when the drug took it's whole effect. Her eyes returned to their normal green. "Y-Yes my love. I will do anything for us to to be together forever." Tenielle and (evil) Briko smirked as she walked up to him (she walked up to Briko not Tenielle) as he held out his arms. She then did the most terrible thing that she had done in her life...She kissed him(!) passionately.(a little too passionately actually, she bit his lip in the process.)

Hona was shocked at what had just happened. Seeing that the door was open she grabbed Kita's hair-piece in her mouth and ran out unnoticed.

Jillybean01: If you are confused about the Briko situation, um, they are both the same person...except one is evil.

Kita: ./glares/...You turned me into a slut!!

Jillybean01: You had it comin'
