Never fear! Chapter 14 is here! I got a lot more questions than last time and they are really good ones so lets answer them shall we?
Me:This is the weirdest question and it intrigues me so it goes first. Golddragonriderkira is thinking about you guys having animals souls. Brick is is a wolf, Bloss is a cat, Butch is a horse, BC is a butterfly, Boomer is a rat, and Bubbles is a bunny. What do you think about that?
RRBZ&PPGZ:...
Miyako:I love bunnies!
Momoko: Cats are cute
Butch:I guess I don't mind horses as long as its a war horse not a pony!
Boomer: Not a fan of rats
Brick:Wolves are my natural born enemies...
Kaoru:Butterflies are really girly but I kinda like them
Me:Their ya go! Next question
Kimiko:Lawtercats asked what the boys did last summer?
RRBZ:Train, attending meetings, and visited Romania for our family vacation. And after that we spent the rest of summer at Aunt Setsuna and Uncle Tanoshi's house.
Me:Her little sister asked how many ex boyfriends do the PPGZ have, what they're names are, and were any of them hotter than the ruffs?
PPGZ:Wow
RRBZ:VERY GOOD QUESTION!
Kaoru:I didn't date any one before this perverted baka but I did have a tiny crush on the captain of the soccer team named Kukai. Butch is hotter I hate to admit.
Momoko:I knew you liked him!
Kaoru: It was a tiny crush!
Momoko:Well I dated Dexter for a while after we broke up I was with S-S-Sakamoto. Brick is way hotter than them though
Kimiko:Hell ya he is! I hated Sakamoto!
Kaoru:Me too!
Brick:Me three! Now about me being hotter-
Me:No time for that Brick-onii-san
Kimiko:Anyway I used to date this guy named Kaito and another named Yaten. They were really cute but Brady is hotter
Miyako:I dated this boy named Taka-chan and Boomer is hotter *blushing*
Kaoru:but alot of boys have crushes on Miyako
Momoko*nods* not to mention the stalkers
Boomer:The WHAT!?
Me:Umm minna we have a story to get to!
RRBZ:Oh right...Suki-san doesn't own us!
PPGZ:Happy Reading!
Me:To the story!
Kimiko's P.O.V
My head stopped hurting because the wolves revealed themselves. Are they seriously going to try and get us when the boys are with us!? Wait...they wouldn't be that dumb somethings up.
Girls I said in their minds
Yeah...
Don't you think its strange that they are choosing now to attack? I asked them telepathically.
I was thinking the same thing.. Momoko thought
Something isn't right Kaoru added
Should we transform now?
Not yet Miyako let's wait and see what happens. We disconnected because our attentionwas on the wolves. Satoshi was in front of me eyeing Ryan like a hawk.
"What are you mutts doing here?" Raiden said with his aura darkening. The wolves transformed back to humans and came up.
"We were sent by...someone and we want the girls" CJ answered winking at Miyako
"We're just trying to kill two birds with one stone" Aaron said smikrking.
"I'll slap that smirk right off your face" Yuichi said with fangs starting to come -oh..
"Who sent you and what do they want?!" Takeshi yelled impatiently.
"None of your business, but I must say we picked a good night to come here. Cupcake looks sexy!" That was it. NO MALE should NEVER undress Kaoru with his eyes except...well,Takeshi. He lost control and lunged for Zack. Aaron punched him off his friend and it was on. The girls and I took some steps back while the boys fought the wolves. Aoki was helping Raiden beat up CJ. After a few minutes of wrestling they transformed into wolves and growled. All the boys fangs were out and they got pushed on the floor. Just when round two was about to start a voice interrupted it.
"Now boys remember why we're here..." a voice said. I felt the atmosphere drop a few degrees. Everyone looked to the right. We saw a boy about 17 years old. He has black hair that spikes in all directions with and black eyes. He also has a tattoo of the kanji symbol for 'hell' on his neck below his left ear. For some reason he was staring at Tsuki...
Aoki's P.O.V
"Now boys remember why we're here..." a cool but devious voice said. I recognize that voice anywhere.
The RRBZ, Tsuki, and I stared at him with shock while the girls just looked at him with 'who the hell is that?' look. Our aura's seemed to be in sync because they all darkened as soon as we saw him. The boys stood in front of the girls protectively. Tsuki was at my side but I stood in front of her a little.
"Akuma" Tsuki hissed with pure hatred. He smirked in response, he was playing it nice because the mates were here. They didn't know what he did in the past. You see it all started two years ago, He and Tsuki used to date. I always hated the idea of those two together, but she was happy so I didn't meddle. Her brothers however were constantly bothering her about Akuma and even spied on them a couple of times. One day Akuma led Tsuki somewhere far from the castle and hurt her both physically and emotionally. It turns out he was just using her to get valuable information such as her and her brothers elements, secrets of the castle, and what really goes on in those meetings. This was one of the negatives of being a vampire princess.
Lucky for her, the trees told me and I quickly told the boys and the five of us saved Tsuki. We could never forget how hurt Tsuki was afterwards. We never saw her cry over it but she was sulking for a while. A lot of things happened that day... We never saw Akuma since now. His full name is Akumanoko which is Japanese for 'demonic child',incase you didn't know, and yes he is a demon. Demons and vampires have mutual relationships. Vampires and wolves hate each other, werewolves and demons get along fine, but certain vampires will get along with certain vampires. Some demons and vampires get married and had a family however when it comes to us and Akuma let's just say we aren't the best of friends.
"Tsuki-chan..." Akuma started "you've grown so much" he said eyeing her up and down
"Don't act familiar with me!" she shouted darkly with her fangs threatening to come out
"Why are you here?" I asked angry but somehow calm
"Can't I come for a visit?" he asked innocently
"Visit my ass" Takeshi said pissed off
"hmm..." he said eyeing the girls then all of us. He had a satisfied look on his face and cracked another smirk. It took every ounce of willpower I had not to lunge at this guy right now.
"Yosh, I can tell when I'm not wanted" he said with his hands up defensively. "Ikou(Let's go)" he said to the mutts. They all looked confused.
"But Akuma-" Aaron started
"It's fine they're would be more opportunities" he said smirking at Tsuki. Something was wrong he isn't the type to leave of what could have been a battle he is the type to stick around and make people suffer. Believe me we all wanted to beat the crap out of him and the other fleabags but we were all trained not make the first move to avoid getting in trouble with the Super Natural Council. The five trouble makers disappeared into the fog.
"Wh-who was that?" Kaoru asked completely clueless, Takeshi mentioned how she hated not knowing things
"Umm what was that all about? I know I wasn't the only one who felt the tension" Momoko said.
"It's not best if we talk about it" Yuichi said wrapping his arm around her waist
"No...it's okay I'll tell them,just not here" The tone of her voice...its filled with sadness,anger, and hurt. It was the same tone she used on the night it happened. We walked home silently and said hello to Fiona and Richie then went our seperated ways for now at least.
Tsuki's P.O.V
I took a quick shower, put on a dark gray cotton shirt, black pj shorts with dark gray, put my hair in a french braid down the middle with fringes, and headed down stairs. Aoki-kun is sleeping over, thank god, I needed him with me two years ago and I needed him now. Yuichi-nii thought I didn't want to talk about it but I trust my Onee-chans they deserve to know. Everyone was in our 'basement' (A/N: the same place the girls received the Power Talk) however it is more like a cellar. Everyone gave me concerned looks the boys were worried about my feelings and the girls knew something was wrong, I can feel it in their auras and they're eyes.
I sat down between Aoki-kun and Momoko-chan with Yuichi-nii on her right side we faced the others who were next to their mates as well. I took a deep breath.
"It started two years ago on this day" I started "Akuma and I used to date" I said it short, sweet, and to the point. A small smile spread across my face as the girls jaws dropped to the floor. Miyako was the first to recover and nod slightly signaling me to continue.
"My brothers of course never liked him, Aoki was skeptical of him of course but they put it aside for the sake of my happiness, which I appreciate. One day he told me to meet somewhere far into the woods for a date but then-"
"Kiki-chan you don't have to" Miyako said sensing the bad part was coming. I nodded and kept going anyway.
"He grabbed me and pushed me on a tree. He yelled at me to tell him everything I know. He wanted me to tell him our elements, and other confidential things but I didn't tell him anything. I was so confused and freaked out. One minute he's being kind and the next minute he's yelling in my face. When I told him I'm not telling him anything he slapped me" The boys aura's started to darken again. The girls gave me sad faces but Kaoru looked like she wanted to slap someone.
"I would have fought back but he caught me off guard then he did something much worse" I practically had the girls at the edge of their seats. "He tried to possess me." Aoki-kun and my brothers gripped the seats they were in while the girls looked at me shocked."Lucky for me the boys came and fought him off for a while and Aoki-kun took me to our backyard. Satoshi-nii chased him with a chainsaw-"
"You did WHAT!?" the girls asked surprised he just winked at them and looked me to continue.
"He was my first boyfriend and my first heartbreak but he was just using me"
"But why would he want information?" Momoko said softly placing a hand on mine
"Not sure at first we thought they would attack but its been two years but sometimes demons just want to know that kind of stuff so that they feel like they have something over us" I said staring at my knuckles.
"What a second" we all stared at Kimiko
"Aoki-san how did you know Tsuki-nee was in danger?" the brunette asked. When it comes to elemental vampires its up to them to reveal it to mortals. I didn't tell Akuma my element because I had a feeling in my gut and I'm glad I listened to it. My brothers and I looked at him waiting to see what he would say.
"The trees told me" he said with a smile. The girls blinked twice and a bunch of question marks floated around their heads.
"My element is forest, sometimes called nature, and they told me what Akuma was going to do to her" he explained further. I smiled a little. He meet these girls a few hours ago but he still trusts them enough to share his element. I remember him telling me that trees are a good sense of character so maybe that's why.
"Your one of them?!" Kaoru asked surprised and he nodded.
"So since nature is your element what can you do?" Momoko asked. De ja vu.
"Well, I can communicate with trees, all my attacks are plant related, I can poison foes, control plant's form, and make any plant I want grow anywhere." he said
"Wow" they said impressed.
"It's a good element according to the spirits and it helped save Tsuki" Raiden said gratefully.
"Trees are everywhere so they witness everything" he said simply
"Tsuki,Daijoubu?" (Are you okay?) Kaoru asked me. I know her caring Kaoru can be despite her toughness. I nodded and she gave me a comforting smile. I yawned and stretched a few seconds later.
"We should get some sleep" Satoshi said. Aoki was sleeping over in our guest room. Everyone went upstairs to their rooms and I went in mine. I took my violin and played Moonlight Sonata. I definitely needed this tonight after seeing Akuma. All those feelings from my dark past came back to hunt me. I never told anyone this but I think he was my first love and he...loved me back. As an empath I felt his love for me, but when he found out I'm the princess I noticed it faded away. Love, or at least falling in love, blinded me from that.
I was on my balcony (where I play all my music) and I felt the cool night breeze on my face. The night's atmosphere always calmed me. My thoughts when back to Akuma, I can't help it. I hate the fact that I almost fell in love with him, I hate the fact that his image is in my head, and I hate the fact that he hurt me emotionally and physically. I don't know which is worse.
The song ended so I put my violin on my staff and got on my bed. After a few twists and turns I decided to go to our 'Moon Pool'. My brothers came came up with that name. There is a large pond surrounded by decorative stones that can be seen from my balcony. It also has a small water fall. We used to swim in it all the time growing up. Last time we swam in the pond was last summer we didn't get the chance to swim this year,though. They called it the moon pool because the moonlight always seems to hit it, unless its a new moon. I took off my slippers to feel the soft,cool grass.
I sat on the stones with my in the water and breathe in the fresh air. The color of water fascinates me. During the day its a shimmering turquoise and a soothing indigo at night. The moonlight shone everywhere, making the grass was the perfect place for me even though anyone could be here.
"Nice view" a friendly voice said. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"Always..." I said not taking my eyes of the indigo water. "What are you doing up?"
"I could ask you the same thing" he said sitting down next to me.
"Touché. I can't sleep too much on my mind" I said
"I understand" he said "Look, I know I said it two years ago, but I'm really sorry he did that to you" My eyes became glassy.
"Arigato, but I'm glad you and my onii-sans came. Ka-san (mother) always said that something good comes out of every bad situation"
"Not this one..."
"Yes this one. That was the day my brothers stopped giving you a hard time and finally became your friends. It was the day they saw how much you care and how trustworthy you are. I would never forget that moment" I said with a sad smile.
"Me either, I was glad I got along with your bros they're cool and Raiden gives the biggest bear hugs" he said with a light laugh.
"Well Takeshi-onii-san's hugs can slice you in half" we shared a laugh and gazed at the sky.
"I saw how disturbed you were telling the story. I'm surprised you would tell them so much" he said in a low voice.
"I was really surprised when you told them your element, why did you?" He shrugged in response.
"The trees tell me they have white aura plus they're your brothers mates. That's enough for me to trust them" I nodded and sighed.
"What's up?" he asked concerned
"What do you mean?"
"Well you seem distressed for some reason,like somethings been bugging you ever since we got back home. And I know damn well Akuma has something to do with it" Aoki is one of the few people that can get me to reveal things on a deeper level. I like and hate that about him.
"It's just..." I started moving my feet in the water a bit. "It he never knew I was a princess we probably would have still been together..." I said softly
"Don't think like that" he said in his normal voice " Being a princess is what a ton of girls out there wants"
"I know, but its not always a cup of tea. Some girls won't be able to handle the pressure" I said truthfully.
"Yeah but you can. That's why you are one and not them" he said placing his hand over mine. I blushed slightly. Somehow we can still make each other blush after all these years and...I kinda like it.
"Your right" I admitted "I hate thinking that way. I've always been proud of who I am but I can't help but wonder" My cheeks heated up a little more when I realized we were holding hands.
"Even if you weren't, you would still be the same good person and Akuma would have still hurt you in the end" Once again Aoki's right. I hate it when he's right so many times in a row it makes me feel stupid.
"Hey..." he said. I looked at him for the first time . He touched the ground and an amber glow surrounded his hand. A beautiful white water lily sprouted from the ground. The Moon Pool has some blue water lilies but this was the only white one.
"The white ones are your favorite,right?" I nodded and smiled with my dimples showing.
"Aw I missed your dimples" he said in a teasing voice poking them. I blushed a light shade of pink and giggled . The white water lily was twirling in my hands.
"This was really sweet of you"
"No biggie" he said with a yawn. I put the white water lily in the water and watched it float. Then suddenly a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I inhaled his scent. The smell of pine trees, fresh water, and lemon entered my nose:the scent of the forest. After all these years he still smelt like forest. He released me minutes later but I still felt warm.
"Arigato, Aoki-kun" I whispered. We both knew it wasn't the flower. I thanked him for comforting me and being there for me. After all these years he stood by me when my brothers gave him a hard time. That's why I they learned to become friends with him and not Akuma. My brothers became friends with Aoki because when I needed them he was there and he's still here with me know. I smiled to myself and put my head on his shoulder and he responded naturally by putting his head on mine. Together we watched the white water lily swim to the other blue ones under the moonlight.
Akuma stopped haunting my thoughts...for now
That's a Wrap!
Miyako: AWW! KAWAI!
