Hello, once again this is Sarah. Sighhhhhh, why in the world is Nami making me write this chapter again??? I've got no fucken clue. Once again, my writing isn't corny like Nami's so deal with it alrights? Anyways, enjoy. Woohoo.
Sarah's POV
I panted hardly as I eyed Persona warily. Sure, he was a nice guy and all but when we were training, he became the Satan himself.
"Tired already…Sa-Chan?" He said the last part with a malicious grin. I shuddered. 'Damn.' I hissed as I dodged Persona's fist. We fought for only 3 1/2 hours and I already was tired.
He threw another punch and a caught the punch and attempted to punch him in the guts. He dodged and I hit him in the shoulders. I groaned with frustration. The fight had two rules. 1.) No use of alices. 2.) No killing.
I jumped into the air and spin kicked Persona on the head and sent him pummeling onto the ground. I gasped for oxygen and waited.
Persona stood up and smiled warmly. I relaxed at this because it meant that Persona was done with training me for the day. He held out his hands and I took it. We walked back into the villa.
"Go wash up, Sa-Chan. I'll go make us lunch." He said heading to the kitchen.
"Hai." I grumbled and walked up the stairs to the second floor. I entered my room and got a change of new clothes. Then I went to the restroom connected to the room.
I locked the door and filled the bath tub. I peeled of my mud-caked clothes as I sighed and inspected my pale body. I had grown taller and fuller curves in my body. I looked at my face and saw tears welling up in my eyes. I slowly got into the now full bath tub.
"Oh god. No. Don't cry Sarah. You only have one year to go." I said to myself. Yes, I was now 15. I missed everyone. I missed Jirou's warm smile, okaa's hyper cheers, otou's fresh smell, Miharu's stupid remarks, Ria's attempts to hug me (believe it or not), ect, ect.
I shook my head and dunk my head into the hot water. I left my family and friends for a good reason. Now they didn't have to suffer. Even though otou and okaa disagreed with me, I'm glad they supported me.
Probably, I have a new sibling by now. I snorted. Of course I did. I regret that I couldn't see Miharu and otou suffering. Should I scry them? I looked into the bath water. I concentrated on one of my alices and opened my eyes. A picture was slowly forming in the water.
I first saw okaa and otou taking care of baby. A boy. I had a younger brother now. I smiled. My younger brother also looked different from my parents and twin. He had silver hair and green eyes. I grinned. I wasn't the only strange one now.
I concentrated on another alice of mine and meld it into the one that I was using presently. One of the tactics I learned during training. I was trained to use multiple alices at once. Now I heard sounds as I scryed my family.
"Youichi." I heard okaa coo. So his name was Youichi??? Nice name, I guess. I wonder what his alices are and if his destiny was intertwined with the war like mine was. I then waved my hands over the water and the picture.
The scene changed into Central Town. I saw all my friends entering a café. I smiled gently. I looked at Jirou and was surprised. His eyes were blank. What happened to the usual shine in his eyes?
I reached for his face in the water but it just went through. I started tearing up again and the falling tears distorted the picture. I waved my hands the final time and the water became clear again. I reached for the plug and let the water drain out. I grabbed a black, fluffy pillow and wrapped it around my body.
I went into my room once again and changed. I wore a red oversized hoodie. The sweatshirt was baggy and the hood was really big. I put on the hood and it looked fashionable. Then I wore black skinny jeans with black gladiator sandals. I walked down the stairs and was greeted by the smell of chicken.
I walked into the dining room as Persona placed the plate on the table. He wiped his hands on his jeans and sat down. As I sat down, he spoke.
"So… you scryed your family and friends when you were clearly told not to." He murmured. I bowed my head.
"I'm sorry Persona. I couldn't take it. I just had to have one glance of them. I promise I won't do it again." I said in a small voice which cracked at the end. I looked up and saw Persona. He had a solemn expression. He walked over to my seat and gave me a warm hug.
"I know it's hard. Try to deal with it." He whispered. I nodded as I held the tears. "Do you regret your choice of taking the load of work that your friends were supposed to take too?" He asked concerned. I looked up at him with wide eyes and shook my head. He grinned and pat my head.
"Let's eat." He said. I nodded and waited for Persona to help himself before I did myself.
9 Months Later
I observed Persona's motions and smirked. I flipped forwards, kicking Persona in the guts in a blinding speed. I got my katana and held it up his throat.
"Dead." I murmured and let him go. He stood up and rubbed his head.
"You got better, Sa-Chan." He grinned. I nodded my head. Three more months until I could go back to my family. I could now beat Persona in about an hour without alices and 30 minutes with alices. He taught me how to use a katana and he made me master every kind of martial arts out there.
I wonder if everyone else got stronger. Persona motioned me to follow him and he led me into the usual route of the forest. I looked at two trees and sliced my hands in the air. The force traveled to the tree and made a clean cut.
I looked at Persona and he motioned me to continue. I grinned and spin kicked a boulder the size of a cabin. It crumbled into pieces. Then, I went wild. Kicking and using on my alice on everything in my way.
"Enough." Persona said in a clear voice. I looked at him questioningly. He smirked. "Do you plan to destroy the whole forest?" He said with his eyes shining with amusement. Only then, I looked around.
The forest was almost completely gone. I sighed. I used one of my original alices, Resurrection, and everything was back to normal.
"Persona, my life is a bore. All I do is study, eat, train, and sleep." I whined. He chuckled.
"Be patient, okay? You only have three months anyways." He rolled his eyes. I was silent for a while and walked back into the villa with Persona right behind me. "Oh right, I have a big surprise waiting for you at home." He said mischievously. My eyebrows rose.
Most of the times, Persona's surprises weren't very nice. I sighed and trudged to the villa but I soon stopped when I felt a cloth being wrapped around my head so I couldn't see anything.
I tried to burn it but it wouldn't. "Awww, good thing that the cloth is Alice Proof." Persona cooed. I could just hear the mockery in his voice. I grit my teeth. I just continued to print to the villa using my other senses. One of the basics of my training.
I opened the door and felt other people's presences in the house. I tensed up and counted. There were seven people excluding me. Persona finally caught up panting.
"Sa-Chan, you run to fast now." He chuckled. Then I heard another chuckle.
"Sarah's too fast for you now, Persona. You're getting old." I heard a familiar voice. I tried to identify it and I gasped.
"Otou?!" I yelled. He chuckled. I felt Persona untying the cloth from my eyes. As he let the cloth fall, I gasped. Okaa, Otou, Youichi, Misaki Obaa, Tsubasa Ojii, Hotaru Obaa, and Ruka Ojii were all here.
I squealed really loud and hurled myself toward Otou and Okaa. Otou caught me and twirled me around. I smiled really loudly.
"You grew so much, Sa-Chan." I heard Okaa say. I twirled around and gave her a big embrace. I looked down and saw piercing green eyes looking up at me. I smiled gently at him and he smiled back.
"You-Chan, this is your onee. She's pretty isn't she?" Okaa cooed. You-Chan squealed and laughed. He lift his hands towards me as if he wanted me to hold him. I reached down and carried him.
"You-Chan, your onee is only pretty because of my genes." Otou said jokingly. Okaa's eyes tightened and punched him in the face. Everyone started laughing.
"So, how's everyone?" I asked anxiously. The last time I actually saw how they were doing was nine months ago when I scryed them.
"Well, they're really looking forward to your return. Especially Jirou. He became bright again." Misaki Obaa said in relief. My face fell when I remembered the time I scryed Jirou. I told everyone about it and they frowned.
"Jirou was really upset when you left, Sa-Chan." Otou said gently. "He buried himself with training and he's the best fighter in the academy so far. Well except us and probably you." He finished. I nodded slowly, calculating everything I heard. I smiled when I remembered that Jirou was back to normal from Misaki Obaa.
"So, who wants to spare with me." I flashed a smile. Otou stepped out and smirked. I grinned with delight. I couldn't want a better opponent.
"I'll pwn you, otou." I smirked. Otou snorted.
"Natsume, don't let your guard down. Sa-Chan is really strong." Persona warned.
"No alices." Otou merely said. I nodded. I waited until Otou made the first move. He dashed towards me with a fist. I quickly dodged it and paced myself faster. A second later, I was behind Otou and his eyes widened. I smirked and kicked him.
Otou broke his fall by placing his hands on the ground and flipped his body away from mine.
"Okay, so you're better than I thought." He admitted while running his hands through his hair. I smirked even wider and I disappeared. In another second, I was behind Otou and I drew out my katana. I placed the back part of it against his throat.
"Dead." I grinned. I put my kantana back into my sheath and retreated to You-Chan. His eyes shone with adoration. Everyone else's jaws were dropped with the exception of Persona. He snickered at Otou.
"I told you. You shouldn't have underestimated her." He mocked. Otou grumbled and walked over to me.
"You became strong." He said proudly and pat my head. Okaa gave me a big hug with tears coming out.
"My baby's all grown up." She said proudly. I just sighed and waited for her to let go of me.
"Ahhh, baka. We have to go now." Hotaru Obaa said.
"Mou, Hotaru! I finally meet my baby after 21 months and you're rushing me." Okaa wailed. I pat her back.
"Okaa, please tell everyone that I look forward to seeing them again and that I miss them, ne?" I said with a smile. She smiled her million dollar smile at me and nodded.
"Sa-Chan, we'll see you in a few months, okay?" Tsubasa Ojii said to me. I nodded. Everyone said something to me and slowly left.
I heard the protest, screaming, yelling, and crying of Youichi as Otou tried to peel him off me.
"You-Chan, Onee will see you in three months. It goes really quick! I'll see you soon but if you don't stop crying, I'll never come back. Okay?" I said gently. You-Chan widened his eyes when I said that I was never going to come back and the waterworks shut down immediately. He nodded to me and opened his arms to give me a big hug.
Then, he reached for otou and he smiled at me gratefully. He mouthed a thank you and kissed me on the forehead.
"I'll see you in three months." He said and made his way to the car. As he closed the door, the car quickly sped away.
"Well, did you like your surprise?" Persona asked with a smirk. I grinned and gave him a big hug. "Thank you Persona." I said with total sincerity.
"You're welcome." He said quite pleased with himself.
