Where No One Goes

Foreign language

Chapter 4

"Why...why would you be scared of being alone, when you have each other?" Jack asked.

Kura hesitated before answering, "It wasn't always like that. And...before anyone else knew about her, I had to do...everything on my own. I got so used to it, I started to get...a bit scared, that I would always be alone."

"So," Sakura continued, "I finally showed myself, by accident, and now, everyone thinks we're twins, but we are the same person. We're afraid of being alone, especially when it seems as of we want to be alone. We just don't want to be forgotten."

Jack nodded slowly.

They kinda just described how he felt. He didn't want to be alone, because he was afraid he would be forgotten.

He looked up at the two Guardians to be.

Kura had large eyes filled so many emotions, it made his head hurt trying to figure out what ONE was. Sakura had narrowed eyes, fueled with something he was sure was meant to be seen as the same light of an older sibling.

He didn't exactly know what to make of them.

With Kura, he got this bright feeling. Joy. Life. Anything that just said, "light."

With Sakura, however, he got a dark feeling. Seriousness. Leadership. Dark things...yet...they didn't match the darkness of any villain he or the others had fought.

"So," Sakura said, "you were gonna tell us, why you appeared in Death Woods?"

"Oh," Jack had forgotten about that, "right, we...wait, DEATH WOODS?!"

North opened the book and frowned.

The others leaned in.

"Well?" Merida asked.

"I can't read it,"North said, "it's been an extremely long time since I've read the language."

The other Guardians groaned.

"I think we need to get Jack back," Rapunzel said, "we find him, we may find Sakura and Kura."

North nodded, "Want a sac?"

Hiccup shook his head, "I think we can manage."

He took a globe, shook it, and said, "Take us to wherever Jack Frost is!"

The globe opened up a portal and he and the girls walked in.

"DEATH WOODS? As in, DIEING?!" Jack asked in shock.

Sakura shrugged, "It's...it's basically a way for Shadow Monsters to enter the real world as spirits. You need to be a Shadow Mage, like us, or a Spirit, like yourself. Not many people get the chance to leave, and those who do, are scarred for life."

Jack nodded slowly, "Anyways-"

Just as he was about to continue, a vortex appeared. Kura clenched her fists and Sakura grabbed a katana from the shadows.

Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel stepped out.

"JACK!" Rapunzel ran over to him, "Did they hurt you? Are you still under their control? Did they-"

"THEY," Sakura sneered, "can fucking hear you!"

Kura put a hand on her shoulder and she calmed down. Turning to the others, she asked, "What do you want?"

Merida stepped forwards, "We need ye to come with us. North can explain it better."

Kura and Sakura looked at each other.

Sakura stood and pointed the sword at Merida, "One condition. No funny business, or you will go to your own, personal, hell."

"Deal." Merida agreed, ignoring her friends protests.

"Fine," Kura frowned, "I just need one thing..."

She ran off.

Sakura crossed her arms and sheated the sword onto the holster on her back.

She smirked as Kura returned with two duffle backs, knitted boots, and a pair of winter boots slung over he shoulders.

"Here." She handed a bag over to Sakura, "Just in case we're gone for a while."

Sakura nodded and turned to the others, "Well? Get to it!"

'Damn bitch!' Merida thought as Hiccup opened up another portal.

They stepped out of the portal.

Kura let out a squeal of joy, much to the shock of the yetis. She ran around, touching and grabbing things.

Sakura let out a laugh and walked over to her, "That's enough Kura, calm down."

Kura smiled and spun around, "So...where do we go? Or should I follow my sense of smell to the kkitchen?"

Hiccup sighed and turned to them, "Just follow us."

"Just follow us,"Sakura mimicked him under her breath. Kura giggled and skipped after the Viking.

"North!" Hiccup walked into the library.

North smiled, "Success?"

Kura walked in and shrieked.

"We know," Merida said, "yer meeting Santa-"

"LOOK AT ALL THESE BOOKS!" Kura ran towards a ladder and began to climb it. She ran a hand along the spines of the books and smiled brightly, "YOU HAVE HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON!"

Merida, Rapunzel, Hiccup, Jack, North, Bunny, Tooth and Sandy stared at her.

Sakura smirked as she walked over, "So."

The others jumped as she spoke.

"What do ya want from us? It better be worth our while-"

She was cut off by Kura's scream. They looked over and saw that an elf had bumped into the ladder. It tilted over and Kura fell off.

"HIKARI!" Sakura yelled. She jumped over North flawlessly and caught Kura mid air. She landed on her feet, "You okay?"

Kura nodded shakily, "I'mfine."

Sakura shot the elf a glare. It held out a book.

Kura knelt before it and took the book. She flipped through it. Nothing. "It's blank."

She smiled widely as it handed over a pencil.

North coughed, "Let's get started. Sit."

They sat down quickly.

Sakura caught sight of the book North had, "Egypt? What do you want to know about Egypt?"

"More like the Change of Heart you-" Tooth snapped and North placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down Toothy," North said and shot Sakura a hard gaze, "what did you do to Jack?"

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Nothing!"

"I'm fine! Why do I always get babied?!" Jack whined.

Kura giggled, "I guess you're their baby!"

Jack pouted and shot her a glare.

"What do ye mean 'Nothing!' I saw what ye did!" Merida snapped.

"It was a precaution! What the hell was I supposed to do? I'm not a baka!" Sakura snapped back, "Unlike you."

"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!"

"You entered a place where people have died and banished." Kura said as she drew in her book, "Death Woods. You were lucky to have left when you did. The Change of Heart may be powerful, but try going off the Dark Magician, Slifer the Sky Dragon, Panther Warrior, Red Eyes Black Dragon. These are beasts and apirits you can't control or tame. But we can."

The others stared at her.

Bunny coughed, "Anyways, we need your help."

"With?" Sakura asked.

"Pitch Black is back," Tooth said.

"Okay. And how does that concern us?" Kura asked.

"We don't know," North admitted, "Manny chose you as the Newest Guardians."

Sakura and Kura looked at each other...

Review!

Death Woods is my own creation.

I would get excited over books. I'm a bookworm. I read as much as I draw and write.

Not a pineapple- Are ya talking about 31 Days of Mischief? 'Cause I wrote that.

Next time we discuss Shadow Magic, Centers, and Pitch.
