Chapter 8: Patch village at last
Ren hasn't seen Berry after that. He blamed himself, maybe he was too pressurizing when he had said that but he was telling the truth, he was trying to convince her to tell him… it was simple, Berry was hiding something…
Ren sighed as he sat down on the table. He was glad that they had finally reached Patch village, there were shamans everywhere and Ren was really trying his best to find Berry in the crowd… with her power, Ren didn't had any doubt that she will make it or not… she have to be there…
"Ren, are you alright?" Yoh asked, waving his hand in front of Ren's face.
Ren blinked and then nodded.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something,"
"About what?" Horro asked, taking a sip from his drink
They were sitting in the restaurant in Patch village and were having lunch. A few days were left for the shaman fights to begin.
"Stuff," Ren replied with a small sigh
Berry sighed as she opened her eyes and landed softly on the ground. Her hair flying and she still was flooded in white light. She was charged and it had only been three to four hours. Berry sat on the white silk bed and lied back. She looked at the white endlessly high ceiling. Her 'room' was in the star century although it only consisted of a white silk king sized bed and anyway, she spends most of her time outside saving people from danger.
Berry stretched her arms, her silver cloak was off and thrown at the other side of the bed. She was wearing black tights with a dark blue short skirt which had silver lining around the boundaries. At the top, she was wearing a light blue strapless shirt. Her thick layer of black hair was spread all over her bed and she was enjoying the one minute of quietness…
"You should get going," Kai said, he had appeared out of no where and I was sitting at the other end of the bed, watching Berry.
"Awww… do I have to?"
"You do know that you are acting a kid… you are whining! Berry Harrison… acts your position as the chosen one!" Kai said, strictly. Berry's grandfather had told him to do this when Berry was lazing off.
Berry groaned and tried to get up, only to fall from her bed head-first.
"I am up! Let's go… we will stop at the restaurant for a cup of coffee," Berry said, getting up from the floor and putting on her silver cloak.
"Coffee? You are only 13!"
"I will drink some coffee or I will go to sleep," Berry said, walking through a white walled corridor. A white blur came into view and Berry went through it… she was standing in the middle of the pillars.
"That Silva guy wont give you coffee, you are too young," Kai said, walking from behind her
Berry scowled, "That Silva guy has been watching me, you know, I do have control on the Patch tribe as they follow my RULES!! But, I don't do things that are unfair and I am not that bossy either," Berry said, putting her hands behind her head as she walked outside the star century.
"I bet you that he wont give you coffee,"
"Kai, shut up,"
"This is unbelievable," Lyserg said
"What is?" Ryu asked
"The whole thing, why can't they just tell us the rules and start the shaman fights?" Lyserg said
"That is because, the King of Spirits haven't send his word, he send a message a month ago that we must wait a whole month for all the shamans to arrive and there are still three days left," Silva said, as he collected the dirty plates.
"Three days?" Lyserg whined
"Be patient, Lyserg. The shaman fights will began soon, you won't even know," Yoh said, casually as Anna argued with Silva about the high prices.
There was a small jingle as the door of the restaurant opened. Berry walked inside. She walked straight at the counter ignoring the stares thrown at her by Yoh and his friends. Ren was staring at her, trying to figure out what she was thinking.
Silva appeared from behind the counter and eyed her suspiciously.
"One coffee please," Berry said getting to the point.
Kai was standing behind her and looked at Silva for the answer.
"Coffee? Aren't you too young to drink caffeine?" Silva said
Berry scowled. Kai smirked.
"Ok fine, I will give you a cup of coffee," Silva said, noticing the cross expression on Berry's face.
"HEY BERRY!!!" Yoh shouted from the table. Berry jumped. She turned to look at Yoh as he was mad.
"Want to join?" he asked, casually. Everyone sweat dropped.
"Want me to cast a spell on him?" Kai asked Berry.
Berry shook her head and turned again to wait for the coffee.
"She is mad," Horro muttered to Faust who nodded, slightly.
Ren growled under his breath. No one noticed except Jun noticed who realized that Ren had a huge crush on Berry. She smiled to herself and put the thought aside.
Berry grabbed her coffee and paid for it even though she thought that the KING of spirits should not pay because she was the one who was controlling this village in the first place.
She walked outside the restaurant, followed again by Kai, who was shaking his head and muttering something about her being too young…
Berry turned and then bumped into someone, spilling all her coffee on his white poncho.
"OMG, I am so sorry…" Berry began but when she saw who the victim was, she closed her mouth at once wishing she hadn't said anything at all.
"What a nice greeting," Hao said, looking at his stained poncho.
Berry went red in embarrassment.
"You owe me a cup of coffee," she said, miserably
"Excuse me? You were the one who bumped into me," Hao said
"I wouldn't had if you hadn't been walking around with your eyes closed,"
"Your fault, face it… you weren't careful," Hao said.
Berry shrugged and walked past him.
Hao grabbed her hand. He had only done that because he was alone on a walk which meant there was no Oppacho or anybody else.
"What?" Berry asked, pulling her hand from his rough grasp.
"Well, I don't know how to put this but you don't belong to him," Hao said, moodily
Berry turned to look at Hao, surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Berry asked, shocked
"You don't belong to Ren, you belong to me… I had you since you were born so you are mine," Hao whispered, staring straight at her blue shocked eyes.
There was a minute silence.
"I am not an object Hao, I don't belong to anyone," Berry spat back, hastily.
Hao took a few steps towards her. Kai was standing behind Berry, staring at the scene, ready to pounce if anything happened to his mistress…
Hao grabbed Berry's arms and shook her a bit; he then brought his face close to hers. Berry gulped…
"You know very little about your future as the king of spirits can't see the future… but I have seen the future and I will tell you this, it's not very bright at your side," Hao said. He rubbed his cheek with hers and whispered in her ear.
"And if I see you with Ren more often… then you will never ever see him again," Hao kissed her on the cheek…
"Mistress…" Kai whispered, worried… this would take a great emotional turn in Berry's insides now.
Berry was still looking at Hao shocked, motionless…
Hao let go of Berry and turned away and started to walk away.
"I can't wait for you to be mine," He said as he disappeared around the corner.
To much of controlling her emotions, Berry was near to tears. What? How could he do that? Didn't he have any mercy…?
"Berry…" Kai said, worried. He looked at Berry, her face was pale and her face was turned… one more word and Kai knew she would burst into tears.
"Berry, ignore him… you have me right? I will always be there to help you," Kai said, trying his best to comfort her but it didn't work. Berry was staring at her shoes, her eyes clouded and unfocused…
"Leave me alone," Berry said her eyes watery and she was trying her best not to cry. She disappeared into the trees…
The door of the restaurant opened quickly. Ren knew if he ran, he could cope up with her and talk to her. Jun already knew and she was holding Yoh and the others inside so Ren could escape and spend time with Berry alone.
He saw Hao; walking down the street, his back turned towards him… he ignored him and ran at the opposite side. He turned the corner and saw Kai standing there looking at Berry who disappeared into the trees. Something was wrong…
Ren was about to run after Berry when he was stopped by Kai.
"Please, she is hurt because of you already… don't make things worse," Kai said, sadly
"Hurt because of me? But what did I do?" Ren asked, surprised.
"You did a lot… Hao is tracking Berry down as he wants her to be his shaman queen… the night when you pressed Berry to tell you about her identity, Hao saw it and now he is threatening to kill you…" Kai said in a straight cold voice…
There was a minute silence.
"Berry's hurt because of me? I am not afraid to die… I will rather die than have pain envelop Berry in front of my eyes!!!" Ren shouted and he ran into the forest…
Kai frowned… This wasn't good, or maybe it was…
