Hey guys! Back with another chapter and I really hoped you liked the last one! I really got tired from my last hang out with my family in this country before going home, so while I am bed ridden here due to tiredness, I decided to write another chapter! Fortunately for me, my brain is kicking so I said ''Why not?'' So here I am, writing another chapter for you all! Now let's stop the rambling and get on with the story!
Chapter 13: Deceived
Dirty green eyes groggily opened while said boy groaned out loud ''Ugh, my head…'' He held his head in pain ''What the heck happened?'' All he remembered was plopping to his bed while thinking about his little sister figure ''Momoko…'' He looked at the clock and saw it was 9:30 in the morning, said boy stretched and mused ''Might as well wake them up, mom must be preparing breakfast now.''
He got out of his bed and yawned while walking towards a certain door and knocked ''Kaoru? Momoko? Wake up, breakfast is ready.'' No answer. He sighed ''I know Kaoru is a heavy sleeper but Momoko? That's a first''
Shrugging nonchalantly, he went inside and was surprised. Where is Momoko? Worry shot through him, he knows that Momoko was still staying with them, he saw her things at Kaoru's room after all. So with one choice, he woke up his morning person of a sister. Dai sighed, he better prepare for what's coming next.
''Kaoru…Kaoru wake up'' He gently called out but Kaoru mumbled incoherent things and turned away from him. ''Kaoru wake up'' He called out again, this time shaking her up. Kaoru shot up from her bed, her fist going towards her brother's face, fortunately, Dai was prepared and dodged it as Kaoru blinked her eyes open.
''Onii-chan?'' Kaoru yawned, her mind clearly still not processing the she had just fought her big brother last night.
Dai grinned affectionately, Kaoru was actually a bit adorable being sleepy like that, but he knows better than to tell her that. He doesn't want a grumpy little sister after him after all. Now back to the question he was meaning to ask…''Where is Momoko Kaoru? I could have sworn she slept here last night.''
The mention of her best friend instantly snapped her eyes wide open ''What do I tell him?! Think Kaoru think!'' Her mind racking some excuse ''Oh hell with this!''
''S-she left a bit earlier to go to Miyako's. She said that she needs to get something from her.'' Kaoru stuttered a bit and hoped that Dai didn't notice.
Dai stared at her impassively making Kaoru sweat a bit ''Please let him take the bait'' She prayed
Dai suddenly yawned and stretched ''Ok, I understand. Let's go eat breakfast then?'' He grinned as he stood up while Kaoru looked at her brother in surprise. He acts so relaxed and composed, as if last night didn't happen.
''Hey Onii-chan,'' Kaoru called out making Dai look at her questioningly ''Do you…remember what happened last night?'' She asked, a bit cautious.
Dai stared at her weirdly ''Last night? What do you mean?''
Kaoru shook her head furiously ''Nothing! Now let's go eat breakfast, I'm starving!'' She exclaimed so that Dai won't suspect her and went on ahead of him. Looking behind her, she saw her brother shrugging before following after her.
''Looks like he doesn't remember what happened last night…That's a good thing I guess.'' Kaoru thought ''I'm going to Miyako's house to check on her, whether I like to or not'' She sighed and shivered remembering that creepy house. She doesn't want another experience like that ever again.
As her family sat at the dining area, Mitsuko asked where was Momoko so Kaoru gave her the answer she gave to Dai without the stuttering while eating. Shou being depressed not being able to eat with his other Onee-chan.
''Don't worry mom, I decided to go to Miyako's since I don't have anything to do. I'm going there after I eat breakfast anyway. Knowing Miyako's grandmother, I'm sure she's going to eat breakfast there right now.''
An old woman in her sixties walked through the corridors with the intent to wake up her granddaughter. It was just another day of Saturday with the weather looking pretty clear. She has already prepared breakfast for her and her granddaughter and now, she is going to wake up the girl that she raised ever since she was just a child.
''Miyako, wake up it's time for breakfast.'' Kiyoko Gotokuji, Miyako's grandmother, spoke up gently but she was rather surprise when she slid the door opened revealing her sleeping granddaughter, and another girl who was also sleeping beside her.
''Hmmm…I recognize that face'' Kiyoko mused, trying to remember who the other girl was ''Oh! I must prepare more food then'' She exclaimed before leaving Miyako's bedroom, forgetting to wake her up.
Fortunately for the forgetful grandmother, the sunlight did its trick to wake up the other girl beside Miyako
''Augh'' Momoko moaned sleepily, she felt the warmth of the sunlight touching her hair; Her eyelids slowly opening while her mind started to enter reality once more. She stood up and looked around her surroundings, processing the familiar room to her mind.
''Miyako's…bedroom?''
Noticing the light blue colored room around her and seeing an octopus doll that was being hugged by its owner. It suddenly clicked to her that she requested to sleep at her house. Momoko smiled softly, anyone might think it's childish at this age to hug a stuff toy, but for her it's actually kind of cute. It's obvious that Octi meant a lot for Miyako, though she didn't know why. Maybe she could ask her sometime.
''Anyways, it's time to wake up.'' Momoko murmured but before she can wake up Miyako, flashbacks from last night kept flashing in her mind. ''My parents…'' Her lips trembled, she was going to visit her parents today and…ask them if it was all true. The evidences that Dai told her last night…could it be that was the secret they were hiding?
Speaking of Dai, she cursed quietly under her breath. She didn't think about Kaoru's predicament last night and left her all alone with her brother. She's afraid that there will be a confrontation if those two saw each other today. A scene where Dai and Kaoru looking intensely at each other and demanding answers
Guilt entered Momoko's heart, how could she have let this happen? Maybe it's her fault that Dai became like this? After all, none of these would have happened if she didn't become close to the Matsubara family.
She shook her head, she needs to go to Kaoru's house before going in to her parents. ''I need to apologize…''
''Miyako wake up'' Momoko said softly while shaking her gently.
Miyako yawned and sleepily opened her light blue eyes ''Momoko?'' She yawned again ''Good morning'' Miyako said while rubbing her eyes
Momoko giggled, now she could see why she was so popular at their school. Miyako's freaking adorable! ''Good morning to you too sleepy head'' Momoko smiled while teasing her
Miyako giggled ''Stop it,'' She said jokingly ''It's too early for you to tease right now'' Momoko laughed ''Actually Miyako, it's almost 10 in the morning.''
Miyako looks surprise and looked at the clock to confirm it ''That's strange, my grandmother always wakes me up by now'' Miyako then widened her eyes ''I forgot to mention you!''
Uh oh... Momoko sweat dropped. They really need a really good excuse why she was here, sleeping without Miyako's grandmother knowing it.
''Ahhh, so you came here last night when I was asleep because you feel lonely at your home?'' Kiyoko said, her eyes sad ''Oh you poor girl…where are your parents?''
Momoko fidgeted a bit ''Uhmm…They went out and I felt lonely so I decided to go to Miyako and thankfully she heard my yell.'' She replied ''I'm sorry if I didn't inform you…''
Kiyoko laughed heartily ''No no it's ok dear. I'm happy that Miyako has a great friend like you. I can't forget how much you've helped us clean our house the last time you were here.''
Momoko sweat dropped, flashed of her and Kaoru transforming to clean the house came to her mind ''Uh, yeah! It was our pleasure to help you after all. Miyako is our friend and we're happy to help.'' She smiled ''Even though she didn't inform us…''
Kiyoko smiled before it turned into a stern look ''Next time though, please come in a bit earlier. It is way too late at night for girls at your age, who knows what will happen.'' Momoko shrunk a bit at the sudden scary look at Miyako's grandmother as she nodded quickly ''Y-yes! I will, thank you for your concern.''
Miyako giggled at the comical scene in front of her, her grandmother can really be scary sometimes…
''Anyways grandma, the breakfast is delicious as always.'' Miyako complimented while said grandmother smiled in response.
''Also, hey Miyako'' Momoko called out making Miyako look at her ''I think…I'm going to go at Kaoru's house.'' She said while Miyako's face lit up in realization ''Do you…want to go with me?'' Momoko apparently needs support and she knows Miyako can give her that. After all, they were friends! They always get involved with each other's problems no matter what.
Miyako looks at her grandmother, using her eyes to approve of this. She smiled brightly when Kiyoko nodded in approval with a small smile. ''Sure Momoko! I would love to go with you'' Miyako beamed at her. Momoko laughed and thanked her.
Soon enough, they were finished with breakfast and Miyako decided to take a bath.
''How about you?'' Miyako asked while Momoko shook her head ''I'll take a bath at Kaoru's house…if things don't go downhill. My other clothes are in her house anyway.''
Miyako nodded and left while Momoko gather her own thoughts. ''Mom…Dad…''
Flashback
In a field full of grass, a family is having a picnic somewhere around it. There was of course, the parents, who were laughing happily at the two girls chasing each other.
''Here I come Kuriko! Rawr!'' An orange-haired girl with pink eyes roared like a monster and chasing after a light brown-haired little girl with caramel colored eyes that is squealing and running from the older girl.
''You'll never catch me Momoko-oneechan!''
''Who is this Momoko you are talking to Kuriko?!''
''Oops! I meant monster! And don't call me Kuriko! I'm the superhero here so my real name must not be said!''
''Oops, sorry''
Momoko said that sheepishly making Hachizou and Kakiko laugh again. ''Alright you two, it's time to eat now.'' Kakiko said amusingly as the two 'fighting' siblings turned their attention towards to her before continuing their brawl.
Hachizou chuckled as a tic mark appeared on Kakiko's forehead ''Come here right now or there will be no TV and sweets for a week!'' Now that caught Momoko and Kuriko's attention as they scrambled towards their mother, smiling goofily.
''Honestly these two…'' Kakiko shook her head, they're unbelievable.
''Sorry mom!'' Both girls said before sitting down at the blanket laying at the grass. It was one of those days where the weather is perfect for a picnic day, and the Akatsutsumi family decided to have just that; a family bonding picnic and it was going really well too!
''Mom! I'm finished eating, I'm going to go and look around the field.'' Kuriko said excitedly before standing up and running around
''Be careful and don't run after you eat Kuriko! You don't want to have a stomachache right now!'' Kakiko yelled seeing her daughter running a bit far from them but at least they could still see her.
Hachizou shook his head ''Isn't she eager?''
Kakiko sighed and nodded ''She could be a handful sometimes.''
Momoko bob her head in agreement while chewing her own food ''But she's still my little sister, I can put up with that'' She grinned then began to look at Kuriko where her eyes widened a bit ''Kuriko! That's dangerous!''
Both parents snapped their head back to the youngest child ''Kuriko! What do you think you're doing!'' Kakiko stood up seeing her youngest child climbing a tree which is pretty far away from them, but thanks to their advanced eyesight, they were able to see her.
''There's a cat stuck in the tree mom! I have to help it!'' Kuriko yelled so that they could hear.
''We're coming over there just don't do anything drastic!'' Hachizou yelled before rubbing his forehead ''Seriously? She really is a handful.''
Momoko looked on worried, she wants to make sure that Kuriko would be safe. Who knows if there is a weak branch she's going to step on.
Suddenly, her eyes began to see clearer things ''Wow! I felt like I could zoom into it!'' Momoko thought in awe. No time to dwell on what happened to her sight but she gasped quietly ''Oh no! She's going to step on the branch! If she did, she's going to fall and we wouldn't make it in time!''
Hachizou sighed, not noticing Momoko's use of power ''Let's go and get her'' Kakiko nodded and both adults stood up.
''Hyper Blossom!''
The two adults was startled at the sudden transformation and were about to ask why when they heard a scream.
''Kuriko!'' Kakiko yelled in fright seeing her youngest falling from the tree that could possibly cause an injury to her petite form. Hachizou was about to run but a streak of pink interrupted him and there he saw Blossom flying rather fast towards the falling Kuriko.
''Fast!'' Hachizou's eyes were round in shock, he and Kakiko never seen their daughter fly so fast in her current alter ego! It was as if fighting against the speed of light!
''Is she adding in her true power?''
''Ahhhhhhhhh!'' Kuriko screamed and closed her eyes for the incoming impact but instead, she felt herself be held by a warm and soft arms of her sister.
''You ok troublemaker?'' Blossom grinned and Kuriko nodded at her with amazed eyes before floating up towards the tree and getting the stuck cat. The cat took a step back seeing Blossom offer her hand for it. ''Come on, don't be scared. We'll help you!''
Kuriko nodded ''That's right! My sister is a superhero! She won't let you get hurt.'' She said that with enthusiasm and excitement making Blossom chuckle at her little sister.
''Come on now, I promise I'll let you go when we get down.'' Blossom smiled gently to assure the cute cat. The cat with its grey fur with black linings. ''It's so cute!'' Blossom squealed in her mind bet kept her gentle face as the cat slowly crawled towards her hand.
''There there'' Kuriko cooed petting the tensed cat. Blossom smiled at the scene before lowering down to the ground.
Hachizou and Kakiko caught up with them while looking at Kuriko with a stern look ''Kuriko! Don't you go and put yourself in danger like that ever again. If it wasn't for your sister you would have fallen with an injury'' Kakiko scolded her causing the said girl flinch a bit as Blossom let her go and the cat looked up with them with curious innocent silver eyes.
''I'm sorry'' Kuriko murmured. Blossom looked a bit sorry and said ''Mom…dad, don't worry about it too much. Kuriko is just being a helpful girl, even I would want to save a cat stuck from a tree'' She grinned making Kuriko looked up to her with starry eyes.
Hachizou sighed, leave it to Kuriko's older sister to defend her ''Fine…Just call us next time ok?'' He said
Kuriko nodded eagerly and hugged Blossom ''Hey hey! Can we fly around the town?'' She exclaimed eagerly ''I always wanted to know the feeling of flying! Can we? Can we?!''
Blossom laughed ''Sure why not?'' Blossom knelt down while Kuriko squealed excitedly and climbed on Blossom's back ''We'll be back soon mom, dad'' Blossom grinned before levitating a bit while Kuriko hang on in excitement.
Kakiko shook her head, there's no stopping these two ''Ok, just be careful and be back later.''
'' It's a good thing you transformed without anyone looking though, you startled us.'' Hachizou chuckled.
''Luck's with me then'' Blossom giggled and waved goodbye to her parents as she and Kuriko flew up high so that nobody can see them and started to travel around town with Kuriko's shout of amazement.
The sun has started to set as Blossom and Kuriko finally returned with Kuriko sleeping on Blossom's back.
''Tired?'' Kakiko grinned while Blossom laughed and nodded. ''She's pretty amazed and eager so we explored at least all of New Townsville. By the time we were returning here, she fell asleep. I guess all that excitement drained her.''
Hachizou smiled and transferred Kuriko to his arms for Blossom to undo her transformation. ''It was a good thing you used your original power while still maintaining your…PPGZ form.''
Momoko looked down ''I-I'm sorry, I know I promised that I wouldn't use my full power since you said so and I…'' Kakiko shushed Momoko with her finger ''It's ok Momoko. I…I know we've said to never use your full power but this is an exemption since Kuriko was falling and we won't have enough time to reach her if it wasn't for your full strength.''
Hachizou nodded in agreement ''Just be careful next time. You did an excellent job separating your own power and the power of the white light, and the results were shown today.''
Momoko nodded a bit weakly, slightly uncomfortable hiding her true strength but kept her mouth shut. She didn't want to ruin this family bonding after all. She suddenly yawned making Kakiko laugh softly
''Well super hero, let's go home. Your dad and I already fixed our things. You need your rest.'' Kakiko hugged Momoko in which she smiled, feeling the warmth of her mother.
''Yeah…let's go home'' Momoko smiled softly as she and her family started to walk towards their home.
End Flashback
''Momoko?'' A gentle voice called out to her, she opened her eyes slowly to see Miyako fully dressed . Momoko yawned a bit ''I…fell asleep?''
''Sorry, I guess I fell asleep. Ready to go at Kaoru's house?'' Momoko stretched and yawned. Miyako giggled ''Actually about that...''
''Didn't have enough sleep leader girl?'' Another voice said and Momoko turned to see Kaoru grinning at her. Momoko looks surprise, what was Kaoru doing here? ''Kaoru?''
Kaoru rolled her eyes ''Yeah it's me. Why do you look so surprise?'' Miyako giggled ''It's not everyday you come here Kaoru. I was quite surprise myself seeing you at our gate.''
Kaoru huffed ''Yeah, whatever'' Momoko smiled a bit but she wondered ''What are you doing here Kaoru?''
''What I can't visit my friends now?'' Kaoru raised her eyebrow making both girl laugh softly. ''No seriously, what are you doing here? We were just planning to go at your place right now.'' Momoko asked
''Just wanted to check on you you know…'' Kaoru murmured ''Anyways, what do you mean you're going to my house?''
Momoko and Miyako shared a glance ''Well, first of all my clothes are there and I wanted to take a freaking bath since last night'' Momoko stated, a bit annoyed at the fact making Miyako gave away a titter while Kaoru snorted ''And second of all…I forgot how you will confront Dai-niisan since…last night.''
Kaoru looked at her intently ''Professor successfully got the black particles out of Onii-chan'' Momoko sighed in relief hearing that, she really didn't like how her big brother figure act like that. ''And it appears he doesn't remember what happened last night.''
That information made Momoko jolt ''He didn't remember?'' She didn't know whether to be relief or be agitated. If that's the case, then does the information she got from him last night was a lie?
''Hey Momoko,'' Miyako called her ''You are still going to your parents right?''
Kaoru looked at Momoko questioningly, Momoko took a deep breath and narrated Kaoru what Dai said to her last night. Kaoru's face become one of those who were shock, how could her brother knew about that kind of information? It's not like it's true or anything but still…
''How did he observed that? I know that he hasn't seen your parents yet…but it does made sense for a bit'' Kaoru spoke her opinion.
''I don't want to believe him but…I want to ask them if it's true. That way, I can make sure if it's true or false.'' Momoko said
''You want us to come with you?'' Kaoru offered but Momoko shook her head ''No…Like I said to Miyako, I want to do this alone.'' She stated ''Well, looks like I'm going to take a bath at my house instead.''
Kaoru and Miyako glanced at each other briefly ''Well, we'll be by the lab then'' Miyako said ''I'm really curious why there are black particles targeting Kaoru's brother…I don't want any of us to go through that again''
Momoko smiled softly, Miyako was always the worrier of their group. It's good to see she's taking action too. ''Me too, since Professor is analyzing it right now, I want to know who we are facing with'' Kaoru said
Momoko nodded ''Well, let's go. I want to get this day over with'' Her two best friends agreed seeing that this is going to be another emotional day for her. All they could do is just…support Momoko.
''Well, I guess I'll see you guys later'' Momoko said, a hint of nervousness in her voice while looking at the house where she grew up. Inside of this house is her mom, dad and of course her little sister Kuriko.
''Are you sure you want to go alone?'' Miyako asked, her eyes full of concern. Momoko's resolve wavered a bit seeing her best friend's worried face but she has to do this alone. This is a family matter…even though she considers her friends as family but still ''Yeah, I'm sure'' Momoko answered
Kaoru shook her head, there's really no convincing to Momoko right now ''Well, don't forget that we are at the Professor's lab ok? We'll be there waiting for you.''
Momoko nodded ''Got it.'' With that, Miyako and Kaoru parted ways with Momoko who kept staring at the house intently, probably nervous asking them something ridiculous.
''Who am I kidding? They are my parents! They wouldn't lie to me right?'' Momoko tried to convince herself, maybe she could just escape this? After all if Dai didn't remember it, maybe it's all false? What she heard from Dai was probably false…She turned away and was about to walk off but a childish voice stopped her.
''Onee-chan!''
She froze and quickly twirled her body only to receive a bear hug from her very own little sister. ''Kuriko…''
Kuriko snuggled up to her big sister and slight tears in her eyes ''I missed you Onee-chan! Where have you been?! Why did you just come home today?!'' The little brown haired girl bombarded Momoko with questions like she was in a fast talk; Momoko chuckled and hugged her back ''I'm sorry Kuriko…''
''Mou…Sorry is not enough Onee-chan! Why did you just leave all of a sudden'' Kuriko let go of the hug to pout at her big sister who giggled at the expression and stared at her in amusement ''I'll tell you next time don't worry,'' Momoko smiled but deep inside, she doesn't want Kuriko to be involved at their own problems since she's too young ''Right now, Onee-chan needs to take a bath'' Momoko gestured herself making Kuriko laugh ''Ok you stinker, you better make up for me though!'' She playfully stuck out her tongue.
Momoko shook her head amusingly ''So, where's mom and dad?'' Momoko made her voice into a light one so that Kuriko won't notice the real deep meaning behind that question.
Kuriko opened her mouth to answer but a voice cut her off ''Kuriko? What are you doing outside?''
''Onee-chan is here mom!'' Kuriko shouted and Momoko hid a cringe when she saw her mom and dad quickly running towards their gate
''Hey mom…dad'' Momoko greeted them, no smile or whatsoever. Thankfully Kuriko didn't notice it
''Momoko…'' Kakiko started, guilt still creeping to her about what happened on their last confrontation.
''Ummm…I need to take a bath. Can we talk afterwards?'' Momoko said, not looking in their eyes.
Hachizou nodded ''Sure, we can talk Momoko'' He said it rather soothingly making Momoko teared up a bit. She missed them so much. She took a deep breath, this is no time for crying. She needs to confirm things up before her mind gets blown up from all the thinking.
Momoko, together with Kuriko, entered her house once again, the sense of home invading her senses making her smile a bit. Maybe this could work out after all.
30 minutes later
Momoko came down the stairs wearing a black skirt and simple white crop top. She saw Kuriko watching TV and decided to join her; Kuriko looked up and grinned ''Now you're looking refreshing!''
Momoko laughed ''That's what bathing is used for Kuriko.'' Kuriko giggled and laid her head in Momoko's lap surprising the said sister. ''Weird…Kuriko rarely shows her affection. What's with her?''
Kuriko yawned ''I missed you Onee-chan…Please don't leave next time.'' Momoko smiled sadly, so that's why she was being affectionate, Kuriko thought she was leaving because of the lack of affection''I'm sorry Kuriko, your sister has some problems to deal with so that's why she was not here for a few days…''
Kuriko nodded in understanding, Momoko's soft lap providing a good pillow making her drowsy ''It's ok Onee-chan…I understand''
Momoko stroked Kuriko's hair, Kuriko's caramel eyes closing a bit as she did that ''I'm really sorry Kuriko…'' Momoko whispered, watching her little sister sleep at her lap peacefully. ''She must have been lonely…''
Kakiko and Hachizou smiled at the sweet scene in front of them. Normally those two are always teasing and mocking each other but this is a rare moment of a warm-hearted scene from those two.
''I'll go and prepare some beverages for us. You go get Momoko'' Kakiko told her husband who bob his head in agreement.
Momoko closed her eyes feeling the warmth around her, maybe she could take a small nap and just ask her parents later. With that, she drifted off to sleep along with her sister.
Hachizou crept closer and saw the two snoring lightly. He let out a small smile, he just couldn't ruin this peaceful picture in front of him. ''Oh well, I could wait''
Professor Utonium's Lab
''Professor! We're here'' Miyako and Kaoru greeted them; They saw Professor looking at his computer with Ken conversing with Peach, the three of them wearing serious faces. They looked at the side where the TV is and there located are the three boys who they just got along in almost a week.
''Ah, Kaoru and Miyako! Nice of you to visit us'' The Professor smiled and the boys greeted them in which the two girls returned ''So, no offense or anything, what are you two doing here? Where's Momoko by the way?''
''We were curious to find out what caused my brother to change so drastically…and we know you are investigating that professor so we would like to know who or what we are facing with.'' Kaoru said in a solemn voice in which the Professor took notice, holding his chin in thought ''It's true that we don't know who we are facing with…'' He could understand why the PPGZ and RRBZ are cautious ever since new monsters started appearing, they don't want a repeat of what happened with Momoko a few days ago where she single-handedly fought an unknown black monster and almost critically injured herself.
''So, where's Momoko?'' Ken repeated his father's question.
''She's at her house, talking to her parents but she said she'll be here soon'' Miyako answered and that made the RRBZ snap their heads to her
''What do you mean?'' Brick asked, suddenly curious why the hag talk to her parents after their last confrontation.
Both girls were quiet for a few moment; They didn't know what to say since it seems Momoko only told them what Dai exposed a mind-boggling information about her parents ''It's all about family problems and they wanted to talk about it.'' Miyako stated, hoping that the others will not question it even further. Momoko needs to be the one to tell them not her ''I don't want to break her trust after all…'' Miyako thought so she did the only thing she could do; Tell half of the truth.
''So Professor, how's the observation coming up?'' Kaoru asked as all of them sit down at the round table with chairs on it.
The Professor sighed ''Unfortunately, we still don't know who we are facing with, whether it is a what or who.'' He started explaining, the others nodded in understanding and let him continue ''However, according to Peach here, the black particles we extracted from Kaoru's brother is much stronger and dangerous than what Him's black particles could do.''
That statement caused them to change their expression into stupor. A being that is stronger than Him?! That thought send shivers down through their spines. It has been only a few months since they've defeated Him, and the girls almost lost their powers to it too!
''If this being's particles are much more powerful than Him…that means'' Miyako started while all of them looked grim. Ken looked serious as he said
''New Townsville is in a whole other level of danger''
Back with Momoko
''Hachizou? Did you get Momoko?'' Kakiko asked seeing her husband walking back to the kitchen
Hachizou shook his head ''Nope, she and Kuriko has fallen asleep and I can't just bring myself to break it''
Kakiko giggled and decided to look at her two daughters at the living room. She saw the TV turned on and on the couch are the two sleeping girls. She smiled softly, oh how she wanted her family to be normal; Free from all the evil outside, away from all the problems and just enjoy these kinds of moments.
…But that would be escaping reality, so they have to just face it head on. Kakiko sighed ''Maybe some training will let my mind out of the curiosity that Momoko wants to talk about with us.''
''Honey? Where are you going?'' Hachizou asked, seeing his wife going underground, probably to the training room.
''Just want to train after all Momoko is still sleeping so we can't talk at the moment. Though I am curious what she wants to talk about.'' Kakiko answered
Hachizou seems to be in thought ''Yeah, I'm curious too. After all, I didn't expect her to come home so soon after…what we did.''
Kakiko looked away, she doesn't want to remember that. ''Anyways, want to join me?''
Hachizou grinned and nodded ''Sure! I don't want to get rusty after all'' With that, both super powered parents went to the training room and improve themselves.
Professor's Lab
Tension filled the room as hours passed by talking about what to do, how could they possibly face this being much stronger than Him? Especially since they even have any information to it.
''This is not good...'' Boomer muttered
Professor Utonium nodded gravely ''Don't think about it too much; Let Ken and I handle the information gathering. For now, you need to further improve your strength.''
''But those monsters, they were really not that hard to deal with when we fought it the second time.'' Butch commented, implying the monster back at their soccer practice match.
Professor was informed at that fight and held his chin in thought; They are pretty strong when they team up, maybe there's nothing to be worried about.
''It's true…but I know you were pretty exhausted after that Butch'' Boomer commented making Butch slap the back of his head
''Ow! What was that for?'' Boomer glared at his green brother who glared back. ''Who said I was tired back then?''
Boomer rolled his eyes ''It was pretty obvious''
That lightened up the atmosphere; Miyako giggled while the others chuckles. Brick shook his head at his siblings, they could be so childish sometimes.
''Now, just don't worry about it too much and stick together. Monsters won't defeat you as long as you stick together.'' Professor Utonium instructed them.
''Got it Professor'' Brick nodded along with the others.
Then the big screen on Professor Utonium's lab shifted into the face of the panicked mayor
''There's trouble in here! Trouble I tell you! Please help us!''
''What's wrong mayor?!'' The Professor asked standing up from his chair and going to the screen.
''The GangGreen Gang are here right by the door down this building! They're ruining everything on their path!'' The mayor panicked and the screen shifted to a scene where Ace is smirking at the body guards with his group attacking them, mainly Big Billy ''Get out of the way! We would like an appointment with the mayor of New Townsville!'' Ace sneered
''Those jerks'' Kaoru growled
''Please send out the PPGZ and RRBZ!'' The mayor pleaded
''We're on our way mayor!'' Brick exclaimed. The teenagers nodded to each other and reached for their compact to transform
''Rolling Bubbles!''
''Powered Buttercup!''
''Hard Brick!''
''Explosive Boomer!''
''Strong Butch!''
''Powerpuff Girls Z!''
''Rowdyruff Boys Z!''
''Be careful you guys'' Ken warned them. Buttercup smirked ''We don't need to''
''Let's go guys!'' Brick shouted and with that they left and flew towards the office of the mayor.
''They're strong enough to transform without Peach being the beacon right papa?'' Ken analyzed while looking at his pet, Peach who was eating.
Professor Utonium nodded ''True, as long as they work together, they can overcome all odds.''
Eyelids slowly opening revealing pink eyes at its wake, she looked down and saw Kuriko still sleeping soundly at her lap. She then looked at the time ''I slept for hours?! Wow, I must be more tired than I thought.''
Momoko gently lifted Kuriko's head and grabbed a pillow for her to substitute her lap. ''Mmmm…Onee-chan's lap feels like a pillow'' Kuriko mumbled sleepily before going back to her dreams. Momoko giggled and stroked her hair; As much as she likes to stay, she still needs to talk with her parents. Using her senses, she felt presence of two strong powers downstairs. ''The underground? Seems like they are training, it's been a long time since I've seen them train''
Nodded her head in decision, she made her way towards their underground training room, unknown to her that she left her belt upstairs where it was beeping continuously.
''Mom? Dad?'' Momoko called out stepping in their training room; It was suddenly quiet and dark, she didn't know why though. She could have sworn that she felt their presence here.
Momoko's ear heard something like something sharp is coming towards her. She moved her head to the right a bit as the sharp object went past her, slashing a bit of her hair. ''A crystal? Only my dad has the ice element. Why would he throw it at her? Maybe he misfired it and didn't sense me?''
Her senses were on high alert just in case another one was fired at her. Another swooshing sound and she rolled to her left. Three more is coming towards her so she somersaulted out of the way. Her heart kicked up a bit as she was face to face to another one and bought her hands up to protect her face.
Momoko hissed in pain as the crystals dug to her hand making blood appear. The lights suddenly opened revealing her father twirling crystals and her mom's eyes closed as if she was sensing her. ''So mom was the one who can see me and told dad where I am as he threw it. Mom was always the best at sensing things anyway.'' Is this some kind of test? She was here to talk after all.
''Mom? Dad? What are yo-'' She was cut off by Hachizou throwing another crystal at her who she immediately dodged.
''Dad! What the heck?'' Momoko shouted. ''We're testing you Momoko, now'' Hachizou smiled competitively ''Show us how much you've gotten stronger''
Momoko looks surprise, they want to see her power? Excitement bubbled up inside of her, this is the chance to show her parents that she is strong enough to defeat the person who is after her! The question she was meaning to ask was forgotten as she started to draw her power.
''Powerful Blossom!''
Kakiko smiled, she is strong alright, but is she strong enough to defeat them?
''Bring it on my child''
Blossom grinned ''I'll be happy too!''
Mayor's Office
''Oh no! They're almost here'' The mayor panicked ''Ms. Bellum! Please protect me''
Ms Bellum, a tall girl with yellow hair covering her whole face paired with a red dress accompanying her body and black heels ''Don't worry mayor, the PPGZ and RRBZ are on their way. We just need to be patient.''
The mayor took a sigh of relief ''You're right Ms. Bellum, I just know they come in the right time as always.'' Just as he said that, the door to his office was blasted from its hinges making the mayor shrieked and hides behind Ms. Bellum in fear.
''Now, where is the mayor?'' Ace smirked coming in the office. Ms Bellum quickly hid behind the mayor ''Ms. Bellum! What are you doing?!'' The mayor panicked.
''Oh mayor, I know you're strong enough to defend the city after all you are the mayor.'' Ms. Bellum said in her velvety voice
''But you are my assistant! You are supposed to help me!'' The mayor protested
Ace sweat dropped as Ms. Bellum and the mayor keep switching places ''Oy! This isn't some comedy show!'' Ace roared making the both of them stop. ''I want the position of Mayor in this city.'' Ace smirked deviously ''Now, give it to me!''
The mayor shook his head defiantly ''I will not!''
Ace growled making the mayor jumped back in fear ''If you don't give it to me willingly then I'll have to force you!'' The gang started to charge at him as the mayor closed his eyes at the incoming impact.
The window broke and an arrow stopped the gang from charging. Ace clutched his chest in nervousness, that arrow might have pierced him if they didn't stop charging at all!
''Hold it right there GangGreen Gang!'' A voice was heard and there at the window appeared the heroes if New Townsville.
''We are the fighting power science legend!''
''Powerpuff Girls Z!''
''Rowdyruff Boys Z!''
Ace snarled, them again but this time the boy with the red cap is with them though the pink eyed leader of the girls is once again not with them at their presence.
''Hmmm… I swore I saw her on the news when they defeated Princess. Why is she not with them again?'' Ace thought. Is she scared of them? Ace smirked, he likes the thought of a Powerpuff scared of them. Eh, less person to defeat then. Ace really is an arrogant fool.
''So that Blossom chick didn't appear again?'' Ace laughed along with his gang ''My my, must be abandoning her duties now.''
The heroes glared ''Haven't you learned your lesson from the last time?'' Buttercup scowled
Ace laughed ''What? I was just saying what I see.''
Butch growled ''Despicable gang'' He snarled making Ace grinned ''Thanks for the compliment.''
''Exploding Note Attack!''
Butch played his flute, musical notes started appearing and with a single touch it exploded
''Don't fight in here!'' The mayor yelped, the heroes sighed; Looks like they need to defeat them without damaging the office too much.
At times like this, Blossom's yoyo is useful for throwing them out. Guess they had to do this in a hard way. ''Bubble Champagne!''
The bubbles made the GangGreen Gang yelped in pain. ''What are you doing standing like an idiot you imbeciles! Attack them!'' Ace ordered.
Big Billy charged and Buttercup just side stepped and hit him with her hammer at the head. Buttercup sighed ''We don't have time for this.'' She sent Big Billy to a corner for him to lay there.
Brick sweat dropped at the little member of the gang running around them. He swing his beyblade and with the right accuracy, it got the little member, Arturo, knocked out and joining Big Billy in the corner.
Grubber changed his form to Boomer who face-palmed at the sickly dumb look on Grubber's face. Boomer made an arrow made up of his energy and shot it towards Grubber who got knocked out by it as he also joined the corner of knock-outs.
Snake made her way towards Bubbles in an attempt to paralyze her via massage. Bubbles, knowing this is coming from their first fight, prepared an attack
''Balloon Neba-neba!''
Snake was hit by the said balloon at his eyes which is sticky right now. ''Bubble Popper!'' Snake was again hit by a barrage of bubbles making him also join the corner of knock-outs
Ace cursed ''Useless members!'' Then the heroes started to walk towards him making him sweat ''H-hey, w-we can talk about this right?'' He laughed nervously
''Too late to take back what you said'' Butch glared at him and together, they knocked out Ace with their weapons, throwing him in the corner with his gang.
''Splendid job PPGZ! RRBZ!'' The mayor complimented them. They nodded and grabbed the villains to take them out of the office and put them somewhere in the alleys.
''Hey, it's been a few hours since Momoko went to her house,'' Bubbles striked a conversation. Buttercup was quiet for a few moment as they flew back to the lab ''…I'm sure she'll be fine, but if she still didn't appear later by sunset, we'll go look for her then.''
Bubbles and the boys nodded at that and continued flying. A growl was heard and they looked at each other wondering what that was.
''What was that?'' Bubbles asked. Boomer sheepishly rubbed the back of his head ''Uhmm…It was me.'' He said awkwardly ''…My stomach's hungry.''
One by one all of them laughed at Boomer's expression ''Well, let's go eat at the Professor's then'' Brick said to his brother amusingly. Only Boomer can really relieve the tension around them; Him and his goofy ways.
Blossom panted after dodging an infinite number of crystals and sometimes retaliating it with her fire element.
''Lightning Strike!''
Using her favorite element, Blossom summoned one of nature's elements, lightning, in her hand and strike it towards the two super-powered adults.
Hachizou formed an ice shield around them and an explosion occurred when the lightning made contact with the shield.
''Ok, I need to somehow trap them but it looks like they are also tiring themselves out'' Blossom thought, her eye gaining a critical look as she observed ''I'm also getting tired, we need to finish this quickly''
''Aurora Haze''
Kakiko glanced at Hachizou ''Did you do this?'' Hachizou shook his head ''No I didn't…Looks like Blossom did it.'' He said ''I never thought she can also use the Ice element.''
Kakiko closed her eyes and expand her senses
''Not bad my child.'' Kakiko smiled wistfully ''You have certainly grown stronger as the years passed by''
Blossom just nodded; She can't let them think everything will be okay just because they started training together again. ''I have always been, I just stopped it ever since I became one of the PPGZ'' Her voice echoed around the mist.
Kakiko seems to be straining, why couldn't she pinpoint her daughter? They need to stall some more time. ''You know we are sorry for what we made you do'' Kakiko started making Hachizou look at her questioningly. Why bring it up now? Although what she was saying is true, they are sorry but they need to keep their promise to Hino, Blossom's brother even though she don't know that.
Blossom was quiet, letting them talk, she finally remembered why she came here at the first place. She decided to finish it now.
''I wanted to ask you something.'' Blossom whispered but the room was able to echo her voice so that her parents could here. Both adults tensed, they still couldn't sense where she was…Has she really gotten strong? Did they become rusty? Or was she really strong to begin with?
''What is it?'' Hachizou asked. Blossom took a deep breath ''But first, let's finish this before I ask you.'' Hachizou and Kakiko's senses are on high alert when those words escaped her mouth.
''Lightning Trap!''
Before Kakiko and Hachizou could move, a lightning suddenly encased them in a dome-like shape. It was not touching them but Blossom seems to control it. One touch from it may very well paralyze them.
''I win'' Blossom stated as the mist slowly disappeared revealing their daughter wearing a small smile, her right hand covered in lightning, acting as a controller at the trap that she has set
She slowly floated down and stood. ''How did you do that? We couldn't sense you at all!'' Kakiko blurted out.
''The haze that I created can weaken someone's senses; Seems both of you have been slacking after all'' Blossom said, a hint of teasing can be heard if you listened close enough.
Hachizou silently chuckled, maybe they are getting along sooner than he expected. Oh, how wrong he is…
Deciding it was enough time for training, ''What is it that you want to ask then?''
Blossom took a deep breath, releasing the lightning she has set for her parents. ''You wouldn't lie right?'' Hachizou and Kakiko look confused but nodded, they will answer her truthfully. Blossom then thought about what Dai has said to her that night
''Have you ever wondered what are they hiding from you? Like I said earlier, you told me a few days ago that they are hiding something from you''
Dai then leaned closer to her ear, his breath cold against her skin making the girl shiver. They hadn't notice the cold air of the night accompanying them ''Has it ever occurred to you that they are deceiving you? Claiming themselves to be your parents? Isn't that what they are hiding?''
Blossom shook her head out of the memory lane, why was she even doing this? How could she doubt her parents like that? Sure they tried to stop her from being herself but… to deceive? That's a bit extreme.
Blossom chuckles and turned away, her back facing her parents as they looked at her quizzically ''I can't believe I let him get to me like that.'' Blossom started, shaking her head in disbelief.
Alarms started ringing on Kakiko and Hachizou's head, what did she mean by him? Could it be that their daughter already confronted him?
They were about to ask her but Blossom continued speaking, ''Why should I believe him at the first place?'' Blossom laughed lightly, her parents looking at her confusingly.
''What do you mean?'' Hachizou voiced his thoughts. Blossom was quiet for a few moments before opening her mouth to speak ''Dai-niisan, Kaoru's brother, just said that you two aren't my real parents.'' Blossom kept talking, reminiscing her experience from last night while her back is still facing Hachizou and Kakiko were in a state of shock.
Both adults were frozen; How did she know that? She wasn't supposed to know it right now! They were supposed to tell her that when everything is under control and yet...''This is bad….we didn't expect someone to tell her that…We can't keep lying to her like this.''
''It's true…we are not her real parents…'' Kakiko clenched her fist in anger and shame. How could they tell Blossom that? Heck, how could they tell Kuriko that?! How did that guy know about that anyway!
''Sure some of his evidences are really believable but it was probably the effect from the black particles. I still don't know how he got it though…'' Blossom explained. ''Well, he is back to normal now according to Kaoru.'' So it's not the one who is after her if the guy is back to normal now…
''Hachizou…'' Kakiko whispered to her husband so that Blossom wouldn't hear them ''Could it be that he was the one who instigate the black particles to Blossom's friend?''
Hachizou nodded ''It could be possible…''
Blossom finally turned to them ''…It's not true right?'' Blossom looked at them pleadingly, her eyes telling them to say it's not true.
Hachizou and Kakiko couldn't lie right now, they are someone who always kept their word, like when Hino said to take care of Blossom and they did it dutifully, even coming in to love her as a daughter! So they couldn't lie to her right now since earlier they agreed to answer Blossom honestly. They have no choice…''No turning back now''
Blossom's heart dropped when she saw her…parents look away. ''No…This can't be true! This is not true!'' Blossom swallowed the lump on her throat and tried to call them ''Mom? Dad?'' She croaked out ''That's not true right?''
Kakiko breath out ''Blossom…We..'' She started speaking. Blossom urged her with her eyes, to deny the claim that Dai was spouting out last night. ''Blossom…We are so sorry''Kakiko finally said it, not looking at her in the eyes.
Blossom took a step back with wide eyes ''Please tell me you're not saying what I think you're saying…'' But from the way they are looking away and fidgeting ''Then what Dai-niisan said was…'' It's true…after all, action speaks louder than words.
Hachizou looked at her, seeing her in pain also pains him ''Blossom…I…We''
Memories of them being family played through Blossom's mind ''It was all…a lie?'' Was this how her friends felt when she told them about her mask?
But this is a different matter…a family matter to be exact wherein she was played and deceived, tears now forming in her eyes ''You lied to me?'' Blossom said in disbelief ''Please tell me you're joking''
Kakiko started crying, she hated this moment with every fiber of her being ''Blossom…even though we are not your real ones, we still care and love you like a daughter'' Kakiko walked closer to Blossom who was still standing rigid ''Please believe us!''
However, her words fell on deaf ears, Blossom's mind was still focusing on the fact that the…two adults here on this very room are not her real parents which also mean…''Kuriko is not my little sister''
Blossom suddenly felt alone ''How…How could you do this to me?!'' She yelled, tears flowing freely from her face ''Do you think it's fun messing me huh?! Why did you take advantage of my memories!? How could you!''
''Blossom we-'' Hachizou's words were not continued as Blossom kept yelling at them ''How could you deceive me! How could you deceive Kuriko! How the heck did you kept up those smiles! Those laughs! How can you pretend it's all real!''
''Because it is true!'' Hachizou finally shouted making Blossom stop her rant. ''We do love you as a daughter! We care for you as one!''
Blossom panted, her emotion on a haywire ''No…I have enough of this. I heard what I needed to hear…'' Blossom muttered as she started floating away from them.
''Blossom! Please believe us!'' Kakiko shouted and launching herself to Blossom as she hugged her tight, not wanting to let her go again.
Blossom remains passive, the harsh truth given to her effectively stoning her heart. ''It's not that easy…'' Blossom whispered ''You instructed me to hide myself…I tried, God I tried doing all of the things you said because I thought you were my family and you knew the right thing to do.''
Blossom closed her eyes ''When I finally had enough, both of you tried to stop me from being my true self; You both tried to even force me to come home with you! Even threatening me that we will move out of the place where we grew up!'' Hachizou and Kakiko flinched ''You can't even trust me!'' Blossom eyes raged ''What kind of parents doesn't trust their child! You raised me to be mature! Even now I can tell you are still hiding something from me!''
Blossom grabbed Kakiko's arms around her and forced her to let go, enough force to not be considered as violent but not too gentle either ''I heard what I needed to hear.'' Blossom uttered out ''I don't need to listen for anymore lies''
Before any of the two adults could say anything, Blossom flew away in a burst of speed making the wind slightly blow away Kakiko. Hachizou sighed in sadness ''Hino…You better fix this when you come back. We did all we can to keep our promise to you…But it looks like we were keeping the wrong one all this time''
Flashback
A day after Momoko woke up from her deep slumber, the three of them was eating breakfast at their table, laughing and smiling as they talked with each other eagerly.
Seeing that Momoko didn't remember anything from her past, Hachizou and Kakiko decided not to talk about it since Hino said to keep their lips sealed about their past. He wanted Momoko to live a normal life with her powers as self-defense
Momoko suddenly quited down after talking with her parents, ''What's wrong Momoko?'' Kakiko asked, concern etched in her face.
''I…It's just that I felt like I was in that darkness for so long and I thought no one will reach out for me.'' Momoko started telling them her experience while looking down ''It was so cold and scare there, there was no light at all.''
The two adults stared at the girl with pity in their eyes ''Poor girl…Being subjected to something so harsh at her early age must be tough and confusing to her.'' Hachizou thought, they just had to keep their promise to Hino and give her a life full of happiness and love, even if she isn't their real daughter, they will treat her as such.
Speaking of promises, ''Can…you um..make a promise to me?'' Momoko quietly said that they had to strain their ears to hear it.
''What is it Momoko?'' Kakiko smiled gently towards the younger girl in which she returned making her feel relax because of that. ''A promise that you'll never lie to me and we will always be together as a family!'' Momoko exclaimed happily.
Hachizou and Kakiko felt a pang of guilt hit them as she said that, it's not that they will directly lie to her and pretend to be family…It's just that they also made a promise to Hino to never mention her past, especially her true family, and to also mask her true power and personality. Overall, it's like erasing the past and creating a new one for the orange-haired girl
With a gulp and shaky smile ''Of course we will be family! You don't need to say that'' Kakiko stood up and hugged Momoko who happily returned it.
Hachizou looked at the scene with a smile ''We'll take good care of her and shield her from her dark past.'' Hopefully Momoko will not mention her past...which she did.
End Flashback
Hachizou held his wife as she cried like no tomorrow, they made a mistake, a huge one at that. ''We really can't escape the past don't we?'' Hachizou sadly chuckles.
''Mom? Dad?'' A little voice called out. Both of them looked at the owner and saw their…only daughter. ''Was that true?'' Kuriko looks confused.
Kakiko was surprised ''Did you heard that Kuriko?'' She voiced her thoughts. Kuriko slowly nodded clutching the pillow that Blossom laid on her head. ''Momoko-oneechan…is no really my onee-chan?''
Hachizou and Kakiko sighed, they didn't want to involve Kuriko to this but it was too late. Their stress is just beginning it seems…
Unknown Place
Four figures were seen travelling in a fast pace, they seem to be heading in one direction too, but then suddenly one of them stopped.
''What's wrong Hino?'' Daisuke asked
''I just had…a bad feeling I guess'' Hino said, scratching his nose ''A very bad one too…Hopefully I'll be able to fix all my mistakes beofre Momoko finds out anything about her past without me telling her.''
''Anyway, let's keep going.'' Hino exclaimed. Daichi groaned ''I'm going to ask again…Why can't we just teleport there?''
A tic mark appeared on Hino's veins ''As I said for a million times, we need to reserve our energy. Teleporting from that distance can cost almost all of our powers. We won't be able to help Momoko if he managed to sense us.''
Daichi sighed and waved him off ''Fine, fine. Let's go'' With that the four of them quickly continued their pace with one person's mind thinking
''We're almost there…'' Kyo thought
A dark person chuckles, seeing Blossom flying out of the house, ''Another part of the plan, success'' He smirked. Expanding his senses around the world, he felt four powerful signatures ''Hmmmmm…So they are almost here. This make things interesting''
He flew up and headed to a certain direction in a fast pace ''Looks like you'll be much useful than I first thought'' He said, looking at a certain dirty green haired boy. ''Dai…a perfect person for the job; I'll return your memories from last night soon enough, but for now, enjoy your vacation''
With Blossom
Blossom flew out of their house as fast as possible, the moment she saw her paren- No, Hachizou and Kakiko fidgeting and looking away, she immediately knew that what Dai said makes sense, and yet despite deceiving her, she can't bring herself to hate them so much. They became so attached to her like a family do and yet….''Why did they lie? Why did they deceived me?'' She whispered. ''Didn't they promise to never lie to me? Didn't they trust me enough?''
Anger and anguish filled her very being, if they aren't her real parents then that means ''Kuriko is not my sister…'' That pains her greatly, did Kuriko know about this? It seems unlikely though…
''If that's the case, where are my real ones?'' Blossom thought out loud ''Do I even have a family?'' She sadly laughed. She finally took aware of her surrounding and it seems the sun was almost going down and she was in a field of grass ''This is where we had that picnic day...'' She murmured.
''Time flies fast it seems…'' It certainly did, it felt like it was just yesterday when she woke up from that dark abyss and met the ones who helped her escape from it. Though she was thankful for that, she didn't need them to claim to be her parents!
''So all my life…I have been living in a lie'' Seeing that no one's around here, she sat down by the tree where she and Kuriko saved a cat and hugged her knees ''Stupid old me…Immediately believing them and not knowing more about their past.'' Speaking of the past, she hadn't thought of hers, all she remembered was waking up from that dark abyss but when talking about childhood ones? She doesn't remember a single thing.
''Just who am I?''
''Well well well, if it isn't Blossom of the PPGZ.'' A nasty voice called out as if answering her question.
Blossom glared, she has no time for this, she should have went to the lab.
''What are you doing here'' Blossom eyed the green skinned gang in front of her ''Ace?''
Anddddd cut! I think this is enough drama for now, things are getting intense right? But I'm afraid it will slowly dwindle down for my ideas to fit in the story. We still have a long way to go before we enter the climax of the story! So anyways! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to R&R and to favorite so that you are updated for my next update!
