Chapter 13: Attacks and Dreams
Takeo was sleeping serenely on the bed next to Miyako. He was waking up from his deep sleep. He kept his eyes closed a little longer though he was awake. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.
'I wonder when this is going to be over?' he thought then sighed.
Takeo was a bout to get out of the bed when he felt something grip his hand. He looked over to Miyako. She had her eyes closed tight and her right hand gripped the bed sheet while her left hand gripped Takeo's wrist. Her whole body was shivering.
Takeo looked at her worriedly. Miyako began to thrash from side to side as if trying to stop something. Takeo grabbed her shoulders and began shaking her awake.
"Miyako!" he yelled. "Miyako! Wake up!"
Miyako's thrashing had increased and she was turning from side to side. Takeo tried to keep her in place and wake her up at the same time.
"Miyako!" he yelled for her again. "Miyako!"
Miyako's thrashing began to slow down, but she was still shivering. Takeo looked down at her still worried. Miyako calmed down a little more and her eyes opened slowly. Takeo looked at her crystal blue eyes and sighed in relief. Miyako blinked. She sat up and stared at Takeo who was still looking at her.
Miyako rubbed her crystal blue eyes and asked. "What happened? You looked like you just saw someone die."
"No-Nothing," Takeo said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?" Miyako asked and smiled a little. She got up off the bed and put on her boots.
"We should go, it's almost time for your training again and I need to make dinner for the crew." Miyako said and walked out of the room and down. Takeo stared at Miyako as she left the room. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and pulled on his boots then walked out the door and down the opposite hall.

With Momoko
Momoko walked into her room and took off her coat. She looked towards her bed and saw Takeshi laying on it reading a book. She looked over at the far wall and saw her chest open.
"I see you found my books you anorexic." She smirked.
"I guess and I told you I'm not anorexic." Takeshi sad not looking up from the book.
"Sure you aren't," Momoko smirked again and walked over to the bed. She laid down next to him. She turned her head toward the candle that was sitting on her desk. She stared at the candle light for a while. Takeshi looked away from his book and at Momoko.
He saw her still staring at the candle. He sat up slightly and tapped her shoulder. Momoko came out of her trance and looked at him questioningly.
"What's wrong?" Takeshi asked going back to reading his book.
Momoko smiled. "Nothing. Just thinking of what were going to do when we get to the Land of Shadows."
"Oh," Takeshi said.
Momoko turned over on the bed and snuggled into her pillow. She turned her head away from the candle light and closed her eyes. Takeshi looked at her again and saw that her breathing had evened out.
He got up off the bed and pulled the sheet from under him. He covered Momoko and got into the bed with her and leaned against the ship's wall. He looked at Momoko one more time and then went back to reading.

With Kaoru
Kaoru was on deck giving her orders to everyone on the ship. She told Momoko to rest. She hadn't had rest at all since we boarded the ship. When she had finished giving everyone their duties, she went into her Earth stance and began to train. She moved her hands and legs swiftly and kept and strong stance. She kept at it for a little while longer then she stopped and picked up her sword and began her sword techniques.
Kenta walked through the door that led to the deck and saw Kaoru training in the middle of the deck. He stared at her in awe just like the time he first met her. He walked towards the railing of the ship and took a seat on the barrel never taking his eyes off of Kaoru.
"Did you need something?" Kaoru grunted turning swiftly to slash an imaginary opponent behind her.
"No not really," Kenta replied still following her movements with his eyes.
Kaoru ignored Kenta's presence and went on with her training. Kenta just stared at her the whole time looking at her graceful movements. Kaoru stopped to rest. Kenta noticed she was sweating and breathing heavily. Kaoru looked at Kenta and walked over to him sitting on a different barrel next to him.
"What do you want?" Kaoru asked knowingly.
"What do you mean 'What do I want?' I don't want anything," Kenta replied.
"Yeah right Kenta. Do you know how long you've been sitting there and watching me?" Kaoru asked.
"No. How long?" He asked.
"Look for yourself." Kaoru said and pointed to the sky.
"Huh?" Kenta asked and looked where she pointed. He saw that it was already sunset and Kaoru had been practicing from noon. Kenta's eyes widened and he looked back at Kaoru sheepishly.
"So…" Kaoru said.
"So…" Kenta said. "Okay fine! I wanted to know if you- if you could maybe help me with my weapons training. I mean if you don't want to its okay, but I'm a major in weaponry and I'd be the worst weapons master if I can't even aim right and-"
"Slow down Kenta!" Kaoru said and laughed and put her hands on his shoulders. "Don't worry I'll help you." Kaoru smiled.
Kenta let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Kaoru and smiled a little.
"What's with the relief? What you didn't think I'd say no did you?" Kaoru asked.
"Well, no, but compared to me I suck in my aim." Kenta admitted.
Kaoru looked at Kenta sternly she put her hands on his shoulders again and shook him slightly. "Don't you ever say that. I've been fighting and training since like the day I could walk! I should be farther than where I'm at in my training now! You when did you start your training?" she asked.
"I started training when I was thirteen," Kenta said.
"See what that was like three years ago?" Kaoru asked. "You should be at this level."
Kenta smiled. "Thanks Kaoru." Kenta walked away from Kaoru and back to their room.
Kaoru smiled and shook her head at his retreating form and went back to her training. She began slashing imaginary opponents.

With Miyako
Miyako and Valese were in the kitchen hidden below the deck cooking the food for dinner. Valese was cutting vegetables and Miyako was preparing another dish for the crew.
"I see you've been all cuddly with Prince Takeshi lately." Valese suddenly said.
Miyako stopped stirring what she was making and gave Valese a look and blushed. "What are you talking about?" she whispered.
"I think you know perfectly well what I'm talking about." Valese said cleaning off her knife and going to cut another stack of vegetables.
"No, No I don't know what you're talking about." Miyako said turning to her and leaning on the counter. "Please enlighten me." She said quietly.
Valese sighed and stopped chopping up vegetables. "I think you like him." Valese smirked.
Miyako turned and went back to stirring the food cooking. "I don't like Takeo okay." She whispered.
"Really? If that's true when did you stop calling him Prince Takeo or Master Takeo huh? When dealing with royalty you should know you need Prince or master as a sign of respect. When did you stop and when did he give you permission to call him by his name?" Valese smirked.
"Um… I don't know. I don't work under him anymore so it's not Master Takeo and I don't know why I call him just Takeo." Miyako said softly blushed slightly.
"See I told you, you like him." Valese repeated.
"Uh… Maybe… I don't know." Miyako whispered.
"I think you do, but you just don't want to believe it." Valese said going back to chopping the vegetables.
"Okay maybe I like him a little." Miyako whispered.
Valese gave her look. "Fine maybe a lot. No I know I like him a lot." Miyako said softly.
"There you go now was that so hard?" Valese asked.
"eh… I don't know sort of, but what if he doesn't like me back?" Miyako asked.
"Trust me he does." Valese smiled.
"How do you know?" Miyako asked.
"I just know. Wait a little longer and you'll see that I'm right." Valese said.
"Whatever. I'm going to go out and deliver this first batch start on the second." Miyako whispered before lifting a huge tray of food for the crew and walking out the door.
1234567890
With Takeo
Takeo was walking around under the deck thinking about Miyako and the nightmare she had earlier.
'I wonder what that was all about. I mean one minute she's thrashing around like something was attacking her, the next minute she wakes up and acts like nothing happened. There is something wrong with her.'
Takeo walked farther down the hall still thinking dodging other crew members running around taking orders from Kaoru.
'I mean she hardly ever talks even with me and when she does it's barely above a whisper. Also that time when Aya insulted her. What did she say again?
FLASHBACK
"I'm sorry," he said.
"What are you talking about?" she said quietly. "You have nothing to be sorry for."
"I'm sorry for not telling Aya off when she called you a slut." He said.
"It doesn't matter," she said still looking down.
Takeo looked at her and kneeled in front of her. "Are you crying?" he asked.
Miyako looked up at him and shook her head. "No Master Takeo. I can't cry, not anymore." She replied.
END FLASHBACK
'That's right she said she couldn't cry anymore. I wonder why she said that. Everyone can cry can't they Miyako should be no different. I'll ask her later maybe.'

With Takeshi
Takeshi had just finished another of Momoko's stash of books. As he got up to pick out another he heard Momoko moving from behind him. He picked up another book and went to sit on the bed. Momoko sat up and looked at him.
"What time is it?" Momoko yawned still looking at him.
"I'd say it's about dinner time." Takeshi said.
Momoko 'ohed' and looked at her desk she saw there was a bowl of cold food sitting there. She turned to Takeshi angrily. Takeshi saw her angry face and backed away.
"Wh-Wh –What's Wro- wrong Mo-Mo- Momo-ko?" he stuttered out swallowing hard and beginning to sweat.
"What's wrong? What's wrong! I believe you know what is wrong you freaking anorexic! Watch hen you die don't blame me! I'll just sit there and laugh!" Momoko said raising her voice with each sentence.
"Momoko calm down!" Takeshi pleaded putting his hands on her shoulders a little.
Momoko knocked his hands away. "Don't you 'calm down me'! You better be eating!"
"I am. I will. I promise." Takeshi said. "Really." he said after seeing the look Momoko shot him.
"You better," Momoko said and wrapped her arms around him in a bone crushing hug.
"Can't breathe," Takeshi choked out.
"See if you don't eat that's what's going to happen to you. Your body will get all frail and weak and I'm not going to protect you even if I am your body guard." Momoko smirked at him letting him go and walking backward a little bit.
"Fine, Fine I'll eat something I swear." Takeshi said.
At that same moment Miyako walked in with two bowls of food for Takeshi and Momoko she handed each one their bowl and left the room.
Takeshi looked at the bowl and put it off to the side and began reading again. Momoko sighed and tackled him on the bed. She grabbed some rope from the floor and tied him to the bed hands behind his back.
"What was that for!" he yelled.
"You are going to eat the food Miyako and Valese prepared for you and you are going to like it." Momoko said she grabbed his bowl and lifted the spoon full of food to his mouth.
He opened his mouth and took the food in. "See now was that so bad?" Momoko said and fed him another spoonful of food.
Takeshi pouted and took in another spoonful of food.

With Kenta
After Kenta had asked Kaoru to help him train he was ecstatic he ran into the room and jumped onto the bed a very unlike Kenta thing to do.
"Yes she's going to help me train like before when she was Buttercup," Kenta said. "I hope I don't emba-"
"Kenta what are you saying you would never say that! When did I go from tough guy to softy weak girl? Was it because of Kaoru? You gotta stop acting like this!"
'Maybe, maybe it was because of Kaoru.' He thought. 'But how? I can't possibly like her. Right. Do I like Kaoru? I mean I do, but like-like he? I don't know anymore!' He turned to his side on the bed and stared into space for a little while.
'Okay maybe I do like her that way, but she's just a training partner. How cold I have liked her that way? When did this happen?!'
He heard someone open the door and turned his gaze to the door.

With Shou and Kuriko (thought I forgot about them huh)
Shou and Kuriko were practicing their concentration with Dai. Kuriko was practicing healing and staying in one area while Shou was meditating on controlling his emotions. Kuriko was so focused on healing that she didn't notice Shou come out of his trance. Shou opened one eye and focused on Kuriko. He sent a small jolt of thunder at her.
It hit her straight in the back and she yelped. She turned to look at him. "What was that for!?" she yelled.
Shou chuckled. "You should have seen your face!"
"Do I amuse you Shou?" Kuriko yelled.
Dai was watching in the background as Shou was getting yelled at by Kuriko. He had a feeling something was going on between those two. 'I guess my little brother made the first move then," he smirked at the scene.
Dai walked over to the two arguing kids and pulled Kuriko away from Shou before she strangled him. "Leave Kuriko alone Shou, she has to master this type of healing technique." Dai said.
"Thanks Dai," Kuriko said.
Dai looked at Kuriko and said. "Kuriko, do you mind practicing in your room for a while? I need to talk to my little brother."
"No problem Dai," Kuriko smiled and hugged him she skipped out the door, but not before turning to Shou and giving him a death glare.
Dai closed the door and walked up to his little brother. "What did you want to talk to me about big brother?" Dai asked.
"I saw that." Dai smirked at his little brother.
"Saw what?" Shou asked.
"I saw how you looked at Kuriko the whole time she was yelling at you with your dreamy eyes and smile." Dai said knowingly.
"I- I don't know what your talking about." Shou stuttered and turned away from his brother, but Dai stopped him.
"You don't have to be embarrassed Shou. It's perfectly natural for to have a crush on Kuriko. I mean you've known her like forever right?" Dai said.
"Yeah." Shou said blushing with a dreamy look in his eyes.
Dai chuckled at his little brothers actions. "So you admit you like her?" he asked.
"Of course I like her! If I didn't then we wouldn't be having this talk!" Shou yelled. "It's just she's so attached to you."
"Don't worry she's only like that because that's how she was raised, Shou. You should know that. She doesn't have a father and I'm the oldest of us all so of course she'd be attached to me with Momoko as her mother not to mention she spends all her time with me training." Dai explained. "And what ever time she does have without me or Momoko she goes directly to you, you know."
"Yeah, that is true." Shou said.
"Don't worry about it little brother she'll come around," Dai said and ruffled his brother's hair before walking out the door to get Kuriko.

With Kuriko
Kuriko was studying her healing techniques in the books that Dai had given her when she started training. She was practicing them over and over one by one with out her energy use. She needed to master the movements before she did anything or she might screw up and lose a lot of energy.
She was going on to a new set of healing techniques when she heard the door open. She looked up from the huge book and saw Dai walk in.
"Kuriko you can come back now. I promise Shou won't do anything to you anymore." Dai smiled at her.
"Kay!" Kuriko said joyfully and skipped out the door book in hand.
1234567890
With Kaoru
After Kenta left Kaoru stopped with her training and was currently drying herself off with a towel. She walked down to the bottom of the deck and began walking to her room. 'Kenta sure has changed. I don't think he would have asked for help before?'
She heard some yelling from inside her room and decided to listen.
"Kenta what are you saying you would never say that! When did I go from tough guy to softy weak girl? Was it because of Kaoru? You gotta stop acting like this!"
Kaoru stopped listening and thought 'What is he blaming me for? It's not my fault he turned all 'girly'.' Kaoru put her hand on the door knob and opened the door. She walked in the room and saw Kenta staring at her with a tint of happiness in his eyes. His eyes widened when he finally took note of her presence.
She walked up to her small drawer where she kept her clothes and without a sound picked out a white shirt and black pants. She walked out of the room and to Miyako's empty one next door. She changed and walked back in. Kenta was still staring at the door with wide eyes.
"Why are you staring at me for?" Kaoru demanded.
Kenta came out of his stupor. "No- no reason." He said and looked away.
Kaoru looked at him weirdly. "Since when do you stutter?" she asked.
"I- I didn't stutter. What are you talking about." He said.
"What do you mean 'I didn't stutter' you just did." She said.
"No I didn't." he said and paused to think then pointed at her "It was your imagination."
"Whatever Kenta," Kaoru rolled her eyes and sat on the bed ready to go to sleep.
1234567890
With Momoko
It was now dark and Momoko was on deck watching the ship for any dangers that might happen. She was sitting on a barrel and staring out into the ocean.
"Do I like Takeshi?" she asked herself. Realizing she said that out loud she looked around, but saw that either everyone was asleep or wasn't paying attention to her. She sighed and went back to thinking.
'Of course I like him, although he can be irritating with his anorexia and what not, but from Kahoko told me before, she said that he never paid attention to anyone. He would just sit there reading his book and ignore everyone. That was true until I yelled at him that first time though. He always ignored me as if I was never there. Argh I don't have time to be thinking about this I have strategies to make for the battle and for our next target of supplies.'
Momoko got up and went to her room for paper and a writing utensil. She came back onto the deck and began forming the plans.
