Chapter 22
***John POV***
"Now let's begin Yaya's super amazing extra special slumber party!" The brunette squealed from inside. Erin pressed her finger to the doorbell button and patiently waited.
"Yay! Erin and John are joining Yaya's super amazing extra special slumber party too?"
"Umm...Isn't this Kukai's house?" I asked. She pouted in a childish way.
"You guys are always recking Yaya's fun. Yaya came up with the idea 20 minutes ago so it's YAYA's slumber party!"She squealed/screamed. Sooner or later she's going to make me go deaf or something. I didn't think it was possible to be that loud and annoying. Okay. Maybe I'm just a little frustarted and I'm taking it out on her. The only person I should be taking it out on is the cause of all this mess...Ai. Yet I can't make myself hate her. Love sucks sometimes.
"Anyways...I just remembered an important piece of information we forgot to tell you all!" Erin grinned.
"We forgot something?" She nodded and Yaya jumped in delight.
"Well come in then! Join Yaya's party! Oi! Yaya brought John and Erin everyone!" Everyone piled into the living room which Yaya escorted us too.
"So...what did you want to tell Yaya and the others?" Yaya asked.
"Oh! Well I was talking to Ai earlier and I must say it's going pretty well because she doesn't suspect a thing from me! Anyways, when I asked she told me that the battle was in about a week so they're getting ready to initiate the fight. We should probably check out what they're bringing and how they're setting up the place so we can aboid all the traps. Back to what I was saying earlier...I forgot to tell you all about Ai's egg. It's amazingly strong so I should probably tell you guys..."
"Ai's egg? Is it another combo egg?" Ikuto asked in a calm tone. Is this guy at all worried that he's about to go into a battle with people about 5 times as strong as he is? Because I'm almost certain he's going to get his ass handed to him if he doesn't watch out.
"Mmm Hmmm." Erin nodded, "But it's stronger than ours. You guys know how Amu has 4 eggs, right? Well...Ai's egg is Amu's eggs all mixed together and her own X-egg in the mix."
"Woah woah woah. Hold up...So this Ai girl now all of a sudden has an X-egg?" Utau clarified subbing her temples in frustration. We both nodded and she gritted her teeth. "Holy crap! How are we supposed to beat a girl with 5 eggs mixed together while we also have to take care of her extra strong followers who also have chara bender eggs? Can they character transform too?"
"Yeah. They can. I think we mentioned that before."
"Shizz-muffins! We're minced meat! How are we supposed to beat these guys?"
"Err...Train?" Erin suggested. "Oh! But remember you guys got us too! We have chara bender eggs too!"
"I forgot all about my story...Anyways, when Ai was really little she got her first Chara. This was way before she even got Luna the bridesmaid one (A/N) Remember chapter 9) A while back she got a Shugo Chara, her first Chara. Her name was Kengou and she came from Ai's dream of being an actress. Ai had always wanted to act, whether in small plays or on screen it was her dream. She never seemed to get what she wanted though. Everyone would tell her that she was no good and after a while even though she was so think headed, she started to believe them. She refused to show her talents to others in fear that they would reject her just as the jealous kids of the past had. Kengou had become an X-egg. Not a regular X-egg, a strong one. Over time Kengou's X-egg became stronger and stronger from all the running away Ai had done. All the hatred for what she used tpo love best formed a huge X on her dreams."
"Aww...poor Ai. We could hunt down her bullies to make her feel better." Amu suggested.
"Nah. She wouldn't listen to us no matter what we do. Besides Ai thinks of you guys as enemies right now." Erin said, "She'd think of me that way too is she only knew..." I patted her shoulder in attempt to comfort the slumping girl.
"Oh! I almost forgot again! I wanted to help you guys train! Everyone should probably go to the backyard where there's more room! By the way, nagihiko! John wants to talk to you about something." She gave me a quick wink and followed everyone out the door.
Seriously, what was she doing? Trying to use Nagihiko to make me get on good terms with that phsyco girl who I unfortuantely was dumb enough to fall in love with? Everything won't be all right until we beat Ai which will probably be the week after never. I'll try to be an optimist, but most likely we're going to lose. Unless she can suddenly strengthen the guardians in 6 days...
"What's wrong?" Nagihiko asked.
"Nothing." I murmured, "Erin thinks she can make things all better in the blink of an eye. So how did you make up with Rima so quickly?" He chuckled.
"Actually, we didn't. It seemed that she just needed to get some fresh air and blow off some steam. She was never mad at me, because she believed I wouldn't do such a thing on purpose. Just like you should."
"What do you mean by that?" I glared at him suspiciously.
"I think you should get your facts straight before you point fingers at anyone. Well, I'm off to see what the others are doing."
Really? Does he honestly think that I'm misled here? I know what I saw. But maybe I didn't see the whole thing? Impossible. I know that I walked in there and saw those two smooching. On the ground...with a fax machine on the floor next to them. Maybe he is right. The clues show that it most likely is a mistake. Maybe I just got mad and misunderstood the situation. Maybe I should give Ai another chance. Give her a chance just like the ones she's given me before.
"Think before you act!" Nagihiko called after me."
There are a few things in this situation that I know for certain. Yes. Ai is being a total physcopath. Killing a person just because you don't get the guy you want is just plain stupid. Nagihiko and Rima are in love with each other so Ai probably has 2% of a chance of tearing them apart without keeping both of them alive. Another thing I know is that I really need to give Ai another chance. She's the most amazing person I've ever known through my eyes in every way. I'm so in love with her and I have to make her realize that she's wrong about all this...
***Rima POV***
A week of preparation. You'd think that'd be a lot, but no. I don't think it's enough at all. I still feel incredibly weak compared to John and Erin. If they are already that strong, then what is Ai? It feels as if we have the strength of flies compared to them...
I hugged my arms, feeling a sudden breeze blow past me.
"So...it's finally tomorrow?" I started, finally remembering that I was walking home with Nagi. I had completely forgotten before. I guess I was a little too lost in my thoughts as well as endless worry and frustration.
"Yeah. Are you ready?" He faked a small smile.
"I guess." What a lie. Of course I'm not ready! Not at all! Not now not ever. "No. No I'm not." I admitted.
"Expected. None of us are with the exception of Erin and John. Even they seem a bit nervous though...We may have numbers against them, but in most cases it's quality over quantity."
"We're going to lose so badly." I thought aloud. Who could blame me for being so negative? It was the truth. Unless some miracle just magically started to breakout at the last second, we were screwed!
"Don't say that. If they lay a finger on you I'll kill them." He replied in a serious tone. There was no trance of friendliness on his face anymore. The fun and games were over, tomorrow would either be a day of victory or our last day.
"I-I'm scared. I don't want to face tomorrow." I stuttered. I felt like crying. I just didn't want to cry in front of anyone...not about this.
He suddenly pulled me into a warm embrace. My body tingled all over and the warmth quickly spread. I snuggled against his chest and finally allowed a few sobs to squeeze out. He whispered a few comforting words into my ear. If this was my last night, I wanted to make it my best.
"We should make this night last. After all tomorrow we could all be gone from the face of earth..." He pressed a finger to my lips.
"Just don't say that. Let's not think of what could be. How about we put aside everything aand worry about it tomorrow?" I inhaled the cherry blossom scent that lingered in the air around him.
"Deal." I replied with a nervous grin. "We'll make the best of this." A matching grin spread across his face. I noted how wonderful he looked tonight, after all this might be the last time I wuld see him like this with a kind smile spread across his face. Tomorrow everything will definately not be as relaxing as this so I'll just enjoy it while I can...
He gently pressed his lips to mine. I could feel the sparks when we touched and I thouroughly enjoyed them. When he finally pulled away I felt like I was floating. I'd leave this world on a high note if this really were my last night.
"See you tomorrow?"
"Definately." I grinned. We shared one last embrace as he turned to leave.
Dear Mom & Dad,
I know we haven't always connected or been tight, but I think since you were in fact the pair who had given birth to me you deserve as much as this. I'm trying to leave remembering the best moments we've had together. Remember the time when I was 3 and we all went to the amusement park together? That was probably the best time I've ever had with you two! I always cherished the moments when I was really little and you two would always laugh at my jokes or silly faces.
I have to be perfectly honest if this is my goodbye letter. You might be wondering goodbye letter? Yeah, well I'll explain that if you bother to read through the whole letter. I always thought that when you guys fought, that it was really dumb. Did you guys really mean to tear us all apart? Did you even consider my feelings about the fighting? We were all a family, so whether I was young or not shouldn't have mattered. All of our thoughts should've mattered. We should've talked the situation out. By talking it out I don't mean screaming at each other. If this is in fact my will or something, than I want you two to finally talk out your problems and find peace.
As I was saying about the whole goodbye letter thing. Something came up so I have to leave. Please don't cry! Please! If you were to remember me at all, remember the good times! I may or may not come back. I cannot determine it for sure, because I don't know what will happen. Don't bother searching for me, because I'll be far away by the time you read this letter. This is something that needs to happen and I'm afraid if I tell you anymore details this letter will just become more and more grim and horrible to read. If I do end up coming back, it'll probably be within the next week. Please remember that I love both of you! I love you both so much that leaving like this is almost unbearable but as I said before I HAVE to do this. I love you!
Once again LOVE,
Your daughter Rima
CHAPTER: I just wanted to clear some things up about Ai, and the last battle. "The Last Battle." I think that sounds kinda cool. I'm gonna call it that then! . Anyways, Thanks to KidTantei for the idea about Amu's chara's DNA in Ai's chara. At first I just wanted her to have a super strong X chara, but that's an even better idea! So I'm just saying, but now Ai has an egg that has mixed DNA from her charas Luna and the X chara Kengou and Amu's charas. That's 6 chara DNA mixed together! Wow! That's a lot. Everyone's trying to make the best of what they think'll be their last night...and the end is a letter to Rima's parents from her because they had a rough relationship so she thought she owed them at least a goodbye letter. Phew. Next chapter starts The Last Battle! .
BOOKS: Currently, I'm reading a fantastic series called The Vampire Diaries! I'm totally in love with these books! I'm on the fourth one "The Dark Reunion" Right now it seems like Bonnie's the main character. I'm at the part where Bonnie summoned Damon and Stefan for help. Is it just me, or does it seem like there's a little something-something going on between Bonnie and Matt? I also love how Meredith and Alaric are together. They seem kinda cute together! ^.^ I really hate Caroline though...Anyways, I watched a bit of the Vampire Diaries show, and it kinda bothers me! It's so different from the books! There is no Meredith, Caroline and Matt are together, Bonnie isn't a redhead, and Elena isn't blond! . Is the T.V show series still really good? Those of you who have watched it, please tell me! I've only watched one episode! .
MOVIES: I'm really hyped up about Alice in Wonderland! It has so many people I recongnize! I can't wait until I can finally watch it! How many of you guys wanna watch it too? Is it out already? I don't know...I lose track of time...
T.V: I must say, lately I've also been addicted to Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen. Chef Gordan Ramsey is hilarious! I love how he gets so mad when they can't cook something!
QUESTIONS: I'm only going to respond to a few of them this time...is that alright with you guys?
MYFORBIDDENDESTINY/HAPPYJUNJOU
I can't help but LOVE John! Great job with him. And British accents ... FTW.
Yea! British accents are totally awesome not to mention adorable! I love them so much!
I hate Rikka. That is all I have to say. I still watch, but I haven't watched yesterday's episode yet.
I haven't watched since episode 14 or something. Rikka is so annoying! I don't mind her as a character, but my problem is the way her hair is designed cuz it's kinda like an umbrella above her eyes. I also can't stand her voice! It always sounds like she has a sore throat or something (shudders)
My week was meh. I updated my fanfiction after 3 months this week, and I feel really bad about it. It was a really crappy chapter too ... It's shorter than this, I think. This was long though! But yeah. My week was pretty ugh. I keep on telling myself that it's my fault I have so little reviews, but yeah, I can't help but feel depressed.
Meh. I'm sorry to here you didn't have such a great week...You totally lied to me though! Bad chapter? Don't tell lies like that! That was one heck of a kick ass chapter! I loved it! It made me happy to read even if it was short! It was still written so well! Way better than mine! I totally luv your stories!
RIMAHIKO PWNS/HAPPYJUNJOU
1. yeah and thinnk about this: Rizumu (Rhythm) took nearly all of sc doki to hatch and Hotaru hatches in 2 episodes. wtf is up w/ that?
lol...I didn't watch that part yet, but I heard about it. That does seem so stupid. Seriously? I didn't think that you'd be able to find/understand yourself within to episodes. It's just getting annoying now. But I do love Hikaru though 3 ^.^
THEFATEDREAMER/HAPPYJUNJOU
2. Yeah i do, and shes a cool freak xD. and her music is good ^^
Agreed. I can't deny that Lady Gaga's a freak, but she's a cool freak! I loved her music video for Telephone with Beyonce! . "You know what they say...After you kill the cow you gotta make a burger" or something like that...idk
SHUGOFANGAL/HAPPYJUNJOU
I really like this chapter. I thought for sure RIma was going to blow up at Nagi though
hehehe...I tricked everyone there...It be kinda silly and clique for her to get jealous so easily so yeah...
My week was boring adn busy. i have to study for an instrument test go to a birthday party and study for useless tests! so ya hate this week -_-
I hate weeks like that . tests and studying....at least the birthday party was fun, right ? ^.^
WANTINGFREEDOM/HAPPYJUNJOU
. I watch Shugo Chara party for the couples but I find rikka annoying. On a level of 1 to 10 on annoyance she's an 8, only because she's cooloer when she's with Hikaru.
Agreed. Except I'd say she's a level 9 annoyance. Sorry, but I can't stand her. I have to give her props though. She is better around Hikaru cuz Hikaru is just too cute! And she does stand up for what she believes for but she's still annoying!
HOPEXESCALIBER/HAPPYJUNJOU
1) no offense but if there was a chance to torture rikka i'd do it! i hate the fact that hikaru 'likes' her.
Hehehehe...I know what you mean. Torturing is fun and Rikka would be the perfect victim...
BLOSSOMING HOPE/HAPPYJUNJOU
hey! loved the chapter. john's stubbornness is cute :) and it's great we get to see a few of the other characters (erin, yuki, etc.) in this chapter. rima forgives awfully quickly...well! time for the FINAL battle! can't wait!
I'm glad you liked the other characters! I decided that I'd try and make Rima a little realistic, because knowing Nagi and how he feels about Ai...would it really be believable that he likes her? I think not...
1. no, i don't watch shugo chara party anymore. but more the little things i'm picking up from people watching it, yeah, i think rikka's taking over. has there been a shugo chara party episode WITHOUT her? is amu and them fillers now? wait a sec...if people like yaya were already fillers...then they're the filler fillers??!? WHAT?
lol...you're right! There's the extras like Amu and Tadase, and then there's the extra extras! That's so funny! ^.^ They hardly even mention Ikuto anymore and Utau hardly comes in either or Kukai...aww poo
NAGIHIKO'S HIME RIRI-TAN/HAPPYJUNJOU
Love Lady Gaga her singing is GREAT. although she is a little- ... ahem *Nervous giggle as flaming eyes in background draw nearer and I begin to get a black scorched face*
Lady gaga is a little... anyways I get what you mean! ^.^ and that situation with your ex does sound a bit awkward and weird .
HAPPYJUNJOU
1. Rikka is so annoying! The only thing that stops me from strangling her to death, is that she's just a charcter from an anime. Not a real person...
2. Lady Gaga is a cool freak! Yes she's a freak, but have you seen Telephone's music video! That was epic! "I knew you'd take all my honey you selfish mother ******" lol...hilarious! They should collaborate again!
3. My week was pretty good. No tests! But I had a project due.... I had fun watching American Idol and all, but it was a typical good week. Less homework than usual yeah!
QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK:
1. Which was the best Shugo Chara season? Shugo Chara? Shugo Chara Doki? Shugo Chara Party?
2. Who's your favorite american artist? How about japanese?
3. I know this is a little old but how do you feel about the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti?
See ya? Please Review! Thanks for all the reviews!
