Love and Daggers, Rain and Sunshine

Chapter 2

They were twirling in blinding white light and flame, the luminosity so dazzling that they could not see their hands. All they could hear was themselves crying out for each other, which struck them both as strange, since they both believed that they would be burned to a crisp instead of twisting through the white mass.

It seemed to go on forever, nothing but white, fire, and their echoing yells, until they hear a low chuckle coming from everywhere inside the comet and a voice mutters in a amused fashion, "You'll do just fine."

A gentle wind passed over the two quiescent forms, tenderly moving strands of hair from their faces. Sunlight slowly warmed their flesh, periodically hiding its brilliant face from view. Vlad began to stir, rolling over and placing her hand over her eyes to block the sun. I don't want to want to go to practice, she thought sluggishly. Wait a sec… I'm in sunlight.

Pulling her head out of her butt, she bolts up. Her green eyes squint as she looks up towards the sun. She lowers her gaze and sees that she was in a lush valley surrounded by ice capped mountains. Strange, exotic flowers bloomed everywhere, and a humming bird with bright colored wings flow by and began drinking out of one of the plants. A forest laid to the left of Vlad, and over the tree tops she could see smoke spiraling upward into the forget-me-not blue sky.

How in the hell did we get here, she wonders incredulously to herself. She looks down and sees that Amy is lying right next to here, snuggling…Oh my lord. She is STILL snuggling the phone. The picture of lovely Lord Brat, now dim because of the overuse of Vlad's phone, glared up at Vlad, like it was daring her to move forward.

"Yeah, yeah, braticus. Shut up," Vlad mutters as she snatches her phone back and shakes Amy awake.

"Amy, wake up. You won't believe-DAMN IT!" Vlad howled as her friend punches her in the chin. Vlad fell back with a thud, her eyes watering from the pain. "Amy, what the hell?"

Eyes still closed, Amy began to punch rapidly into nothingness, her face rigid in concentration, and griped, "Get back, you ugly piece of shit! BACK!"

Hurt, Vlad took a step back from her friend. "Amy, what-?"

"I hate you, Saralegui. He's MINE! MINE, DAMN IT! MINE!"

Vlad watched in bewilderment as Amy violently clawed the air, blooding an invisible enemy. Whenever foam starts coming from her mouth, that's when I'll wake her, Vlad decided. When none came after a moment or so, she went behind Amy and screamed at the top of her voice, "WAKE UP, WIMP!"

"WOLFRAM!" Amy yelled and kicked her legs above her head, and, well, Vlad took the better part of the kick.

Amy opens her eyes to the glorious sunlight, and then sighs in relief. It was only the sun, not the demon forcing Wolfram to mate with a flamethrower. Man, she thinks as she sits up and massages her head. I need to lay off the frappuccino. Why is the sun shining? Why does the air smell so good? And wait… Why do the flowers look so familiar? There is only on solution to this, Amy decides with a quick bob of her head. "I DIED!"

"You're not dead, baka. If we were dead, you're right hook and karate kick wouldn't hurt like hell, which would be a great place for you to visit at this present moment," A voice grumbles behind Amy, and Amy jumps and twists through the air and nearly does yet another karate chop on her friend.

"Vlady!" Amy yells and runs over to her friend and glomps (I figured the hell with proper grammar.) her best friend. "I thought you were dead! I ran after you after you disappeared into the comet, and then-you heard that weird voice too right? He sounded familiar…kind of like…,"Amy's voice trailed off thoughtfully. She knew exactly who that voice sounded like, but it was completely impossible. Perhaps she heard what she wanted to hear just what she wanted to hear. It happens when you are in a dire situation, right? She asks herself, puzzling over this enigma.

"Earth to Amy," Vlad snaps her fingers in Amy's face. Amy blinks once, takes a step back, releasing Vlad momentarily to see the damage done to her face. Vlad's chin was cut open, and an ugly bruise was forming rapidly over her eyebrow. Vlad's brown-green eyes were narrowed, not in pain or anger, but in confusion. Her hand rises to her brow and wipes the blood away, unknowingly smearing it over her forehead. "That voice we heard in the comet sounded a whole lot like that dude that looks like Wolfram. Gosh, what was his name?" She looks up at the sky, trying to see the name in the clouds.

Amy's mouth dropped open in shock. So, it wasn't just her who heard it too. "So, I'm not crazy! It was Shinou we heard!" Amy exclaims excitedly! She begins to bounce on the balls of her feet, elated that one of the characters in her most beloved anime actually talked to her!

"Unfortunately for us both," Vlad begins as she steps towards Amy, "we are both hopeless nutcases. Again, I repeat that it sounded like him, so we don't actually know that it was actually him."

Amy nodded, understanding that Vlad wanted to be as logical as possible right now. "True, but you have to admit, that even if it wasn't him, why in the world did he use Shinou's voice? And what the hell did he mean that we would do just fine?"

"Hell if I know. Look, I think we should continue this conversation while we are walking," Vlad says as she stretches her back and yawns. "Ah, and I think that the three most important questions we should be asking is who is he, why does he want us, and how on Earth, or wherever we are now, did he use that comet to get us to be here? Food for thought."

Amy watches her friend stretch, and ponders over those riddles. Who, why, and how? Honestly, they weren't anything special, except in their klutziness, so it didn't make any sense to Amy why whoever it was wanted them two. Well, Amy thinks considerately, Vlad is the bravest, so having her here makes a little sense. But me? Nah, I just ran into the comet. Amy shakes her head. She couldn't figure this out. She lifts up her head and opens her mouth to say that she had absolutely no idea to any of those questions when she sees movement in the forest. Squinting, she makes out an outline of a medium sized boy flitting from behind the trees, as if trying his hardest to not be seen.

Vlad turns her head up into the sky, wondering the same thing like Amy. It didn't make a lick of sense why they are here, or who would want them to. Especially me, Vlad sighs. Amy is understandable. She is incredibly bright, despite her flamboyancy behavior, and is very determined in getting what she wants, no matter how bad the outlook. Shoot, Vlad chuckles to herself, I remember the time when she wanted the part of Jasmine in the play of Aladdin. She worked night and day memorizing those lines, and she got the part, even with all the other girls, who were supposed to be her "friends" spreading all those nasty rumors about her. Vlad frowns at the memory. I made a lot of enemies that day, she muses as she recalls getting after those toots. But, hey, Amy's worth it. That's another one of her qualities that makes her valuable, Vlad supposes. She charms people, works her way into their hearts, and places her roots into them and doesn't let go. This is why she is so popular in school, for good and for bad.

"Vlad, check this out," Amy says seriously, immediately catching Vlad's attention. Vlad looks in the direction Amy was indicating to and sees the figure's head peer around a tree to get a glimpse at them, and then wipe his head back behind it quickly, as if hoping that he was not seen.

Vlad stares off in that direction for a moment looks at Amy and says in an awful attempt of a British accent, "He just hasn't seen two beautiful women in such a long time. Poor bugger is intimidated to death by us. Let's give the poor lad a kiss. Talley hoe!" She grabs Amy's hand and skips off to the forest.

"Vlad!" Amy cries out as she hurries to keep up with Vlad's pace. "Get serious. We are NOT skipping into that forest! For all we know it might be some pervert enticing us to go and meet him. Honestly, Vlad, I'm really not in the mood to be raped right now."

Vlad stops and looks at her friend questioningly. "True, true, but it may as well not be." Vlad takes a deep breath, and says in one lungful of air, "Besides, it takes too long to walk, so by the time we get there he would probably have gotten bored and walked off. If we ran, he would think that we are trying to attack him (and if was really a pervert, he might have stayed and liked being attacked). So, if we skip, he'll think that we are just a bunch of nuts who are not afraid of him, but do not mean him ill will. Got it?" Vlad ended with a sigh, feeling superior that she made her point so quickly.

Amy just stares at her, and one of her shaped eyebrows rises upward. "Huh?"

Vlad smacks her head in frustration. "Eh, never mind. Let's just get there before he gets away. He might know where we are and how we got here!" Vlad starts to take a step towards the forest when Amy steps in front of her, her arms crossed in defiance and says stubbornly, "You are so not going in there! Vlad, for once in your life, listen to…VLAD!" Amy's voice took on a higher octave, her face turned white as one of the powder puffs she goes to school with.

Vlad stares at her and sighs. Now this is where she is going to fall on her knees and beg me to stay, she thinks deflatedly. And then I'll feel bad, and go along with what she wants. "Ok, ok. I won't go looking for him. But we need to find water before nightfall, and there will most likely be a stream or something in the forest, so we have to check it out…Are you ok?" Amy begins to shake uncontrollably and points in the sky.

"Amy?" Vlad puts a hand on her friend's shivering shoulders.

Amy continues to look up into the sky with upholding horror and whispers in terror, "B-bo-bonies!"

Vlad twirls around to see two skeletal figures with black leathery wings darken the brilliant day like some weird bat, and then dive straight for them like buzzards, their jaws wide open making a horrible rattling sound. Vlad turns around again and pushes Amy out of the way, seconds before she was trapped in the creature's boney arms. Again, for the second time in a matter of hours, she yelled out to her friend, "Run, Amy!"

But that was just as much help as pushing her out of the way. Amy picked herself off the ground and began to sprint after Vlad. "Not after me, Reeves! AWAY!"

"NO!" Amy yells out, and then she, too, was wrapped up in the Boney's arms, and they were both flying away over the forest, towards the spiral of smoke rising somewhere in the distance.

Both girls closed their eyes out of fright, and held onto the boney arms with vice like grips, terrified that their captors would drop them into the mass of trees. Amy was trapped between utter terror of flying and elation that she has proof that they are in the Demon Kingdom, where Yuri, Conrad, Gwendal, and Wolf…WOLFRAM EXISTS! Amy starts to laugh, and hugs the Bony carrying her. "VLAD!" she yells over the rush of the wind.

"WHAT?" Vlad calls back and it sounds like she's sobbing.

Amy opens her eyes to mere slits and sees her friend laughing wildly from the rush of their uncultivated ride. She gives Vlad a huge grin and squeals, "HE'S REAL!"

"NO SHIT! WAIT, IF HE'S REAL, SO IS-!" She was forced to stop in mid-sentence because the Bonies began their descent. Vlad closes her eyes once again, but Amy keeps hers open, eager to see the kingdom she has always longed to be in. It was exactly like it ways in the show, except the stone on the castle's roof gleamed in the sun, the glasses shone with the sun, and the grass below looked way more realistic.

As the Bonies open up their wings to land, Amy scans the ground and sees that a crowd of people have formed a circle around the landing Bonies before the palace. Wait a sec, they're not just a random group of peeps, she quickly observes. They are all soldiers, and all of them have their swords drawn and ready for slashing. Hmm, where's Wolfram? She twists her way in a sorts of direction as they land, trying to get a glimpse of "Her Love." All she sees is a crowd of armed forces with ominous expressions. "Oh Kuso."

Vlad was scanning the ground likewise, but she wasn't looking for the one she wanted. Instead, she was trying to see if there were any openings in the threatening ring. She hears her friend curse in Japanese and silently agrees. They don't look like they would give us a ride to the castle; Vlad shivers slightly, trying not to think what they can do with those swords. (Perverted readers, get that image out of your head. That's not what I meant) Ok, she breaths in deeply as they land, when they grab you, take his sword (Stop it reader) and use it against him. You've done this before. It's just like you practiced.

Once the Bonies landed, they let the girls go, Amy's Boney giving her an extra hug, and they took off into the air, flying above the castle and disappearing out of sight. Amy watches them go, sighing, sad that her new friend had to leave so soon, but Vlad's eyes were trained on the soldiers, waiting for them to approach them. Soon enough, one man took five steps towards them and shouts, "Soni ton tyes gurnta loash? Rae ungst humans tronst?"

Vlad was knew that they were speaking Demon, but that didn't stop confusing her. Suddenly, Amy steps up and shouts back, "Len belk shun no bickie!"

The soldier took a step back, confusion obvious on his face, and the soldiers behind them all mutter something that sounded like, "Yuien?"

"Glen Beck rockiste tu Obama hehelade," Amy continues, placing her hands on her hips and turning her back towards them, as if she was upset or mad.

Flabbergasted, Vlad turns to her friend and manages to say, "Are you actually talking their language?"

"No. They're talking gibberish to me, so I shall talk gibberish back. You should try it, its fun."

Vlad smacks her head. "Amy, these are men with swords we are dealing with, and they probably think that you're answering their question about something really important. Please, don't spe-."

Amy whips her head back towards the lone soldier and shouts, "HEN NODOKE BELN GUBY!"

The soldier, bewildered as ever, seems to gather his wits and takes a cautious step forward towards Amy. "Guien yuien ysa noken? Hie dn't leiveb tu rae."

"HICKY! BIEN! GLEN!" Amy continues to yell out random words, some of it English, others are Spanish, German, Japanese, and God knows what. Vlad shakes her head at her friend. Only Amy can get the nerve to make another language at a time like this.

"Booshed! Yuri san hotoron. Jerkinessly eb dibedo hop. Gonnto- ARRGH!" Amy screams as one of the soldiers from behind runs up and grabs her head. Amy claws at his hands, but then feels a powerful gong pulse throughout her skull like someone was banging inside with a hammer. She doubles over, clutches her head and moans, her eyes screwed up in agony.

Infuriated, Vlad run towards the assailant and kicks him in the stomach, snatches his sword and pulls Amy away from him. Amy kneels on the ground, holding head as if trying to keep it from vibrating as Vlad stands protectively beside her, sword drawn and ready to go. The soldiers let out a roar of fury at the sudden attack of one of their brethren, and two breaks from the group running towards Vlad with swords drawn. "Bring it, bitch," Vlad mutters darkly, a shady smile playing on her lips.

Amy stirs behind her. God, Amy inwardly groans. What the hell did they do to me? It feels like the time my dear brother thought that it would be funny to place stereos next to my ears and put it on 50. Ugh, I feel like I'm going to be sick. She sits up slowly, and hears metal clashing and male grunts. It's either she's fighting, or whatever they're doing is getting really kinky, Amy groggily thinks and turns around. Ah, they're just fighting. Wait, how did she get the sword?

Vlad was twisting and turning throughout the air expertly, slicing open one guard's hand (Not off! I'm not that vicious), jumps up and lands right back next to her unsteady buddy. Breathing slightly hard, but not panting, she roughly asks, "Are you in for a fight?"

Amy jumps up to the offer (literally), staggers slightly, smiles brightly and says, "I was waiting for ya to ask. It sounded like you were having fun so I didn't want to interrupt."

Vlad, not looking at her friend, chuckles and throws down a sword she managed to take from the other soldier. Amy snatches it up and turns her back on Vlad, guarding her rear. Both girls were ready to take the offensive when Amy hears and actually understands a domineering and arrogant voice bark that causes her to drop her weapon in surprise, "What the hell do you think you're doing!"

Vlad closes her eyes and hears the expected fan girlish scream burst out of her friend's lips, "WOLFRAM!"

Amy feels her heart pound against her chest as if it was trying to escape and get to "Her love" before she could. She sprints towards the crowd of soldiers from where the voice came from, trampling the unlucky ones that stands in her way, and finds the blond beauty in his glory. He seemed to have just climbed off his horse, so his back was turned to her. His blonde hair was perfectly messed up, as if he was combing his fingers through it a minute before. His blue uniform fitted his body flawlessly, showing all the right features… Eyes up, Amy, keep your eyes up, she quickly thinks as she tries not to hyperventilate. She charges the pretending prince charming and tackles him to the ground.

From where Vlad is standing, she hears a strangled voice peep out, "Help?"
