Chapter 6- A Way Home:
Alex:
I blinked a bit. Out of everything I expected to happen by no means did I think a giant floating yellow cloud with Nekozawa and Haruhi in it would appear.
"MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER," Tamaki cried and he tried to jump into the cloud in his excitement. Just how stupid does he get?
He hit the glass-like substance and his face smashed against it. Then he slid down. Haruhi sighed.
"Just…what is that," the twins asked as they poked the smoke. Nekozawa hissed,
"Don't do that! It's not very stable!"
His voice sounded slightly distorted. Kyoya's eye twitched and he held Tamaki and the twins back with Mori's help. Madison whistled,
"Dang."
I nodded. Nekozawa looked at us surprised,
"Who are you?"
"Alex," I answered, "and this is Madison. You're spell had managed to transport to a different dimension- one where your world is fiction- an anime. And yes, there is black magic here but it's not like yours. It's extremely more dangerous, evil, and killer."
I glared at him- daring him to say that he would try to do our world's black magic. Nekozawa gulped,
"…Un-understood."
I nodded,
"Now to what do we owe the pleasure?"
"I…I can't do a spell to bring them back- not from this end. I need someone there to do it."
I narrowed my eyes,
"I will."
He nodded and listed off ingredients. I wrote them all down along with the instructions and then he asked,
"Wait…is that America?"
"That's correct."
He smiled faintly. Haruhi came up,
"So…who are you guys?"
"Alex and Madison," I answered smoothly, "we are helping them get back."
She nodded and then the cloud disappeared with a 'POP' before we could talk anymore. We all glared at the twins, who had gotten free and poked it with a pen.
"Hehe…opps?"
****
We all sat in the park- it well past dark and therefore it was unlike that anyone would catch us. I looked at the list,
"This will take about a day to prepare," I said slowly. I got most of the ingredients- but I needed snake skin. Therefore the park was a good place to look as there was many snakes there that I knew of that always hid in the bushes.
"GOT IT," Madison exclaimed loudly as she held up the large snake skin and she started to run towards me.
Unluckily, her run caused her to slip and almost fall into the pond. Mori caught her and I noticed the faint blush on their faces. Ritsu huffed and I frowned,
"Are you alright?"
Ritsu blinked a bit shocked,
"…I'm fine."
"If that was true, you wouldn't have huffed," I pointed out, "you can talk to me if you wish."
He nodded,
"I…I suppose I just miss home. Though it's lonely…"
I smiled faintly and put my hand on his shoulder,
"Ritsu, I know what's this about," I said softly and he looked at me shocked and he had a blush on his face as I continued, "you know…you'll find someone someday."
He smiled,
"Thank you."
I nodded,
"You're welcome."
I noticed Kyoya didn't seem too pleased though.
When we got back home, I started to make the spell. It only took about half an hour to make- with Madison's help. However, I was reminded that the spell was a lot like cooking- it had to sit for about a day before I added the final ingredients. In the middle of putting the medium sized bowl into my fridge, Madison came running to me,
"Alexy….Mori….he..he."
I raised an eyebrow and waved my hand,
"He what?"
She bit her lip,
"He asked me out."
I blinked,
"…."
I was at a loss for words. Great, the all-silent Mori is able to confess to Madison before I'm able to even confess to Kyoya.
"You still have to confess to Kyoya," she whispered with a chuckle. I frowned,
"….I don't know, Madison…we only have one day until they leave.. not even that, practically just tonight…Madison, they're leaving tomorrow."
She looked sad and I felt bad for mentioning it.
That night, Madison and I were still talking. The host club and Ritsu, all were sound asleep while we talked in my parent's bedroom.
"Madison," I asked as I laid on the bed, "what do you think about my theory?"
She nodded slowly. I had just informed her about my thoughts and ideas about the different dimensions. She shrugged,
"I guess it's possible."
I sighed, maybe it is. I had told her about my theory. I think that there's different versions of everyone in each dimension that fits that dimension's needs. Like, in Ouran, maybe there's a duplicate me in that world. Maybe here there's a duplicate Kyoya. Maybe if Danny Phantom or Inuyahsa is real, there's a duplicate me. I mean, there's no promise that in those dimensions, that the other-me actually knew those people, or where even in that part of the country or world as the characters…..Maybe I am going crazy, the more I think about it- the more silly it seems. Another theory gone.
After my short inner monologue, I started to catch Madison up with what happened while she was gone.
"You slept with Kyoya," she laughed and I blushed slightly.
"You have the courage to sleep with him but not ask him out," she pointed out while laughing. I frowned and crossed my arms,
"Speaking of courage…how did Mori ask you out?"
She blushed slightly,
"While you were putting the spell in the fridge, the others and I went outside and played catch. At some point, Hunny had pushed me- by accident!- into Mori's arms and Mori just…one thing led to another and Mori confessed, he asked me out and kissed me!"
She was blushing heavily. I looked at her amused, by accident my butt.
"Madison….you know he'll be leaving tomorrow," I pointed out gently. She bit her lip,
"I know…but I can still have fun while I can! Who knows? Maybe he'll stay here!"
I doubt that. Besides, then what about Kyoya? Will he confess to me, if he even likes me? Will I confess to him? I couldn't help but get a sinking sensation in my stomach that Kyoya would be leaving- for good- in two days…and I knew I didn't have the courage to confess to him.
