Anise's Adventure: Chapter 9

...

Anise POV

Everything had changed. I knew it was selfish of me to be angry with everyone, but it didn't really matter to me. I was looking around Keterburg searching for Damian, I had to see him to tell him I wanted to take his offer to teach me the Daathic Fonic Artes. Then I could show Jade and the others I could protect everyone.

Jade didn't even look at me when we arrived back in Keterburg, that really killed me, but I couldn't let him get to me! I was snapped out of my thoughts when a voice behind me spoke up.

"Well, well. It seems the Fon Master is looking for little ol' me? I'm touched, really," I found Damian laying back against a house near the entrance of the city, arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

"...I want to take your offer Damian," I said getting right to the point. I tried to look more serious than I ever had.

"I see, it took you long enough to figure out your so-called 'friends' don't want to keep protecting you all the time...am I right? But what's in it for me is the question," he walked over to me with his smirk, I couldn't stand it, but I had to have his help to learn those artes.

"What do you want, then? Money?" What did he want from me? There better not be some sick twist up his sleeve.

"No, no, no! Money will not do, my dear Fon Master, what I want you can't give me. You see what I want from you, is one thing..."

"...And what would that be?" My hands were clenched tightly at my sides, trying to keep my cool.

"Hmm, I don't know...let me get back to you on that, my dear Fon Master, but for now you should return to your 'friends' before they start looking for you."

I was going to open my mouth to ask him something, but I heard my name being called behind me, and when I turned my head away and back to Damian...he wasn't there anymore, like the last time. I turned around to face Noelle and Natalia with worry on there faces.

"Where were you? Everyone was worried."

I smiled at the Kimlascan Princess and pilot, "I'm fine, sorry to have worried everyone. I was just getting my mind off things...we're going to Baticul right? Since we have to get there soon before everyone else does."

"Yes, everyone is in the Albiore waiting."

I nodded and followed Noelle and Natalia to the Albiore, I couldn't wait to see Luke, Tear, and Kairi again. I wondered what names she might have come up with for her baby, but she didn't know the gender yet, so it was hard to say.

I tried to take my mind off of Damian and my insecurities. I couldn't think of anything sad on Luke and Tear's wedding day, it was their happiest day after all. I would just have to bear with it until after...then all I had to do was wait for Damian to show up again and tell me what he wanted in return for teaching me the Daathic Fonic Artes.

...

We finally arrived in Baticul, and Luke, Tear, Alicia, and Kairi were greeting us when we exited the Albiore. I was surprised to see Shion there, too. Sync quickly moved over to Kairi and gently hugged her, causing most of the girls to 'aw' at the scene of affection between them. Luke took the guys with him while Kairi, Noelle, Alicia, Natalia, and myself joined Tear in the room where she was getting her wedding dress on with some of our help, it took us a while putting the dress on her, but boy was it worth it cause Tear was like a beautiful white angel. I stood back listening to the ladies gushing over Tear's wedding dress, little by little my smile turned into a sad one.

Shion POV

I was gushing over Tear's wedding dress with the rest of the girls, but then I saw Anise not far from us, smiling sadly. I frowned, noticing something was wrong with her... I made sure none of the girls were looking before I walked over to her.

"Hi Anise, why the long face?"

I accidentally startled Anise when I spoke, she probably didn't notice me move over to her side.

"O-oh, hi, Shion...what do you mean? What long face? My face has never been long~" she pointed her index fingers poking her cheek's with a big smile, like she used to do back when she was thirteen.

"...Anise, did something happen?

"... Nope! just so excited that Tear and Luke are finally getting married! I can just hear baby cries echoing through the place."

I was about to say something, but Tear must have been listening, and was standing in front of Anise quicker then you could say "Yulia".

"Did you say babies?"

Both me and Anise bent backwards slightly because of how close she was, it was kind of scary seeing her so serious...

"Y-yes? Why do you ask, Tear?"

"...No reason...just making sure."

Me and Anise looked at each other confusedly, then I thought of the reason why Tear was so serious about the baby part. I could tell Anise thought the same thing. We both looked at her.

"Tear, don't tell me you and Luke already..." I said, seeing Tear's face turn beet red, that's when we both knew...

"You're pregnant?!"

Tear quickly covered Anise's mouth, the other girls were behind Tear, confused. I guessed they didn't hear Anise say Tear was pregnant...how they didn't hear her yell that out is beyond me.

"Shh! I haven't told anyone yet..." she let go of Anise's mouth and put her hands on her hips, looking at Anise and me seriously, "Do not tell anyone...not even Luke knows."

"What?! how come Luke doesn't know? He should be the first to know..." I frowned.

"...Yes, I was...scared. I'm worried he doesn't want a child yet," I frowned even more, seeing Tear sad eyes with her hands clasp against her chest.

I stepped forward and put my hands on her shaking ones with a soft smile, "It's okay Tear, I think Luke would be very excited to be a father...why don't you tell him during the honeymoon? It'll be a huge surprise for him."

Tear smiled, "Thank you, Shion, now let's get everyone else into their dresses."

"Yeah!" Anise rushed forward, getting her flower girl dress and making everyone giggle at the silly Anise we were all used to.

But I could still tell she was hiding something. I hoped nothing bad happened to her before she and the others came here. Everyone put on their dresses, everyone's dresses were white with a light pink ribbon in our hair and around our waists.

I wondered how everyone would react to what Emperor Peony was going to tell everyone? They would be shocked, and maybe happy, but Jade was another story. I cringed at what he would do to Peony when he announced it to everyone?

Oh well, I would just have to deal with it. I knew I was going to have to stop Jade from wanting to kill Peony. A shiver went through my spine thinking of what he could do to poor Peony, or even me.

The time for the ceremony finally came, and I waited my turn to walk down the isle behind Natalia. Noelle was behind me, then Kairi, and after her was be Tear. Anise had gone first, since she was the flower girl.

...

After Tear and Luke said their vows and kissed, everyone cheered. Luke's dad and mom hugged him, wishing him and Tear all the happiness in the world. I smiled, watching Tear blush when Luke kissed her again, I couldn't help but giggle at how adorable Tear was, since she was usually so serious. It was getting close to the toast, and I was getting really nervous, especially when Peony stood up from his chair, which was next to me. He raised up his wine glass, clearing his throat and getting everyone's attention.

"I would like to congratulate Tear and Luke, I pray for your happiness."

"Thank you, Emperor Peony."

"Yes, that's very nice of you."

"And I also have a announcement to make: I'm also getting married."

"What?!" Everyone but me yelled in sync. I smiled nervously, and Jade raised his eyebrow at Peony, amused and curious as to who he was getting married to.

Peony laughed at their shock, "Yeah, and the lovely bride to be is Shion."

Chaos started.

Jade was going to use his artes on Peony, but Kairi and Natalia somehow calmed him down. He turned his stare at me, the lenses on his glasses with a glare on them. He was really pissed off now, but I couldn't blame him for the shock.

How could I know I would end up with Peony? He was very kind to me, letting me live in his Palace with him, hanging out with him on his free time, and it grew into love. And then he just proposed to me.

I guess it's worth Jade's anger if I loved Peony. He was the one person that got me over Asch's death, and I ended up falling for the guy. I had the feeling Jade would not speak with either of us for a while. But I could live with that, as long as he got over it eventually.
