Anise's Adventure

Chapter 10: Worried

...

Shion POV

Yeah, I've once seen my big brother show anger in...Never! So I had to drag him away from Peony and the others outside.

"Okay, I know you're pissed off at Peony, but you can't go killing your best friend and my fiancé! Please understand Jade, I love Peony! He helped me through the pain of losing Asch..." I looked away sadly.

"...Very well, but I do not enjoy letting my younger sister getting married to Peony...but if it really does make you happy Shion, go ahead. But if he tries anything, I will come over and use my artes on him." I sweat-dropped when he pushed his glasses up on his nose, with a glare hitting his lenses.

"...O-okay, that's kind of fair; But thank you Jade, you are the best big brother I could ask for...even though you drive me crazy most of the time, but hey, I'm fine with it, though I might regret it later on."

"Very well, I won't stop you from getting married."

"Good...now, there is something that is bugging me since you guys got here... What's up with Anise? She's been acting all weird lately trying to hide her sadness and such...did something happen?"

I was worried for Anise, she's my friend even though she drives me crazy too, joining in on Jade's evil crime. Something is up with her today; she was trying so hard to hide it for Tear and Luke so she wouldn't ruin their wedding.

Anise POV

After Shion dragged Jade away to calm him down some, I wondered where Luke and Tear were going for their honeymoon. I'll ask them. I walked over to Tear and Luke.

"Hi Tear, hi Luke."

"Oh, hi Anise; I'm still wrapping my head around Peony and Shion getting married..." Luke said.

"Yeah me too, but Shion seems so happy with Peony. I was wondering where you two are going for your honeymoon?"

Tear turned red "I don't know yet, but I was mostly thinking of Keterburg...what do you think Tear?" Luke asked Tear while looking at her.

"S-sure, that would be a wonderful place to enjoy our time with just the two of us." Tear smiled with a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Aw! When did you become so romantic Luke~ hm?" I said giving him a sly look leaning forward.

"S-shut up! I can be romantic when I want to be!" Luke yelled out blushing out of embarrassment.

I giggled "Your embarrassed~" It was fun teasing Luke but I know when to stop.

"So, Anise what's up with you and Jade anyways? He hasn't even spoken to you or said anything...did something happen when you guys were in Keterburg?" Luke asked curiously, but I looked away.

"I don't want to talk about it, where's Mieu by the way? I haven't seen the Cheagle guy anywhere." I said while looking around curiously to where our Cheagle friend was at.

"Oh, Mieu went to pay a visit to the Elder of the Cheagle Woods. He said he'll be back soon...I'm getting worried for the little guy though; it's been two days now since he left to go visit his home." I frowned when Luke told me this. Tear put her hand on Luke's shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry Luke, Mieu is fine...if he doesn't get back after our honeymoon we can go see if he's okay." Tear told Luke trying to calm his worries.

I watched them kiss each other on the lips with such love and passion. I told them I had to go find Sync and Kairi, and left ignoring them when they said my name. I stopped outside of Luke's manor, not realizing I was trying to catch my breath until I did, and calm my breathing down, I sat down at the edge of the huge fountain.

"My, my. I leave for the whole day and when I come back to pay you a visit...I find you sad and alone...pity really."

I jump up startled when I saw Damian standing in front of me, arms crossed with a smirk.

"...Damian, are you here to tell me what you want in return or what?" I said getting to the point. I need to learn how to use the Daathic Fonic Artes now; I don't want to be weak Anise anymore.

"Tsk, tsk, young Fon Master. Can't rush these things, it won't turn out pretty...look at the fool Moh's; do you really want to turn into a monster my dear Anise? No, I don't think so; so the thing I need from you in return is one thing only..."

"...What is it?" this guy smells like a bad guy but...I don't want to be weak anymore, I want to protect my friends and show Jade I can be strong.

"It's easy really; I need those notes about replica's, what was it called? Ah yes, fomicry. Then I can teach you how to use the Daathic Fonic Artes..."

"Wha-what?! I can't take Jade's notes about Replica's! He'll hate me forever!" I didn't want to do that. Jade will really hate me until death...well probably even in death he'll hate me...Who knows?

He sighed sadly "Very well, if you can't get me those notes...I won't be able to teach you the Daathic Fonic Arte...pity really, you would be stronger than the last Fon Master..." he shrugged "Oh well, I guess I'll leave now bye young Fon Master."

I watch Damian wave his hand when he was walking away. I have to do something...would I really steal Jade's and Dist notes so I can be stronger? What happens if another war comes about like with Van? No, it won't happen. I knew what I had to do; I rushed forward, calling his name making and him stop, so I stopped so I wouldn't crash into him.

"Yes? Did you change your mind?" he raised his eyebrows, hands behind his back.

"Y-yes, I'll give you the notes of fomicry...I just have to somehow get them without anyone knowing...just meet me later tonight outside of Baticul, okay?"

"Sure, but I don't like to wait around Fon Master; so I suggest you hurry before I leave."

I nodded watching him walk away. then I went back to Luke's Manor looking for the guy I was looking for, but no such luck. I found Natalia and Kairi talking though, so I rushed over.

"Kairi, Natalia!" I stopped, catching my breath

"Whoa, what's up Anise?" Kairi said frowning

"N-nothing, I was wondering where Jade is? I have to talk to him about something very important."

"Oh, Noelle just took him back to Grand Chokmah. Jade said he had to do some research about those dragons we keep running into." Kairi told me

"O-oh, how long ago did he leave? I need to talk to him about something..."

Kairi opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Noelle's voice.

"You don't have to wait Anise, I can take you to Grand Chokmah right now. Anyways, I do have to take Peony and Shion back too so its trip in one."

"You're sure Noelle? It won't trouble you?"

She shrugged smiling "Sure, I love and enjoy flying so no worries; and Guy is staying so I need a girl chat with you even though Shion is coming but her and Peony would want to talk about their wedding and stuff."

"Yay! Thank you Noelle! Oh, and after I'm done talking to Jade, I need to head back here...is that okay too?"

"Sure, let's go then. See you girls later." Noelle said bye to Natalia and Kairi, so did I, then I followed Noelle to where she parked the Albiore, which was outside of Baticul.

I was standing beside Noelle when she sat down in her pilot seat, starting the Albiore up and started flying it to Grand Chokmah. Peony and Shion were in a room inside the Albiore talking about the wedding mostly.

"So, Anise, tell me why you want to head to Grand Chokmah?"

"...I have to ask Jade about something, I just hope he won't ignore me though..." I looked down sadly, thinking back to Keterburg.

"...Anise, I don't know what happened sinced I stayed back at the Inn in Keterburg but I think you should talk to Jade about it, it'll make you feel much better and I know you really do like him..."

My mouth open in shock when Noelle said I like Jade, well I do like him but... I shook my head smiling sadly.

"Yeah I do, but he would never like me Noelle..."

After that Noelle was nice enough not talk about it anymore, finally landing outside of Grand Chokmah. I walked out of the Albiore, along with Peony and Shion. I followed behind them until they walked to castle. I just kept walking ahead until I got to Jade's office, where he was in sitting down looking through papers it seemed.

I was nervous and scared to say the least, he was upset with me the last time we talked, and it killed me knowing why he's upset with me, but...I have to get those notes so I can be stronger. I pushed aside the nervousness and stepped inside his office. I was about to speak when he cut me off.

"What do I owe this visit? I hope it's nothing important when I'm busy with something else, Anise."

I was saddened when Jade didn't even bother to look up at me, he just kept looking through the papers on his desk, I had to be strong! I stepped forward.

"I was curious how your research is going with Dist. How is it coming along?" I tilted my head, hands behind my back, putting up a fake smile. I ignored Jade when he lifted his head up to look at me with a look that shows he was suspicious of me now.

"Why, may I ask, are you asking about it?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Um...well, I was just curious, that's all." I shrugged trying to act calm as possible.

Jade is very smart, so I had to be very careful what I asked him or say to him. I just have to know where those notes are at, so at night I can sneak in and grab them for Damian; and then I can become stronger.

"...I see; tell me Anise...you're not hiding anything from me are you? If you are, you know I will figure it out." I mentally gulped in my mind when he pushed his glasses up on his nose, a glare hitting his lenses.

"I'm not hiding anything, Colonel, I was just curious. I wanted to help around with things. Is that so bad? And I also wanted to apologize back at Keterburg...especially how I acted...do you forgive me Colonel? I'll try to be stronger too, I promise." I clasped my hands together begging Jade to forgive me.

It was the only way for him to tell me where those notes are at, and I wanted to apologize to him anyways.

"...Hm, I see. Very well; I'll forgive you just this, once but please do be more on guard. I have this feeling you saw him in that monsters place...am I right?"

I looked away, not looking at his red eye's "Y-yes, but it's okay now. I'm going to become stronger just you wait, you won't be disappointed." I smiled showing him I mean what I said, which was half true and half a lie, but he doesn't know that now does he?

He sighs "I can see that...now what I'm curious about though is-"

Before Jade could finish what he was saying a Malkuth soldier walk in.

"I'm sorry Sir, but his Majesty wishes to speak with you in private."

"...Very well, you may stay Anise. I'll be back after I talk with his Majesty."

I nodded went and sat down on a chair in his office watching him walk out of his office, when I made sure he wasn't around I quickly look around for Dist and his notes about fomicry. I was about to give up after an hour of looking when I look through Jade's private stash of notes in his locked desk. I knew how to pick a lock, so it was easy for me. I found them! I was happy, but I quickly put the notes in the bag I brought, and rushed out of Jade's office, forgetting Jade wanted me to stay put, and forgetting to close the desk drawer.

...
