But it makes me think...so why is she stalking Yossie? One chibi-Mikan (as coined by Yuuyami) spoke loudly - "Duuuh, 'cause Yossie is her father!"
The stalker is like Chibu-Usa from Sailor Moon lol!ROFL!
“My name is Kaoru… Ishikawa Kaoru. I’m nineteen years old and I’m doing research for a school work. I’m studying the resemblance and differences between parallel dimensions and if there’s something that keeps them joined. Because of that, I picked a subject, Yoshizawa Hitomi, and studied her life through the different worlds. I’ve been at four, five worlds if we count this…”
Oh and I loled at Konkon being the creator of the traveler. Something about konno, lab coats, chemisty sets, thick glasses and messy hair all mixed together makes me laugh
This is like Sliders, me likes your fic very very much! XDI actually started thinking about DBZ. :o The whole thing with Gokou dying . . . ANYWHO.
This is like Sliders,I was thinking the same thing! :lol: Personally I like Sci-Fi (so long as it doesn't get too ridiculous/outrageous), so this fic is getting more and more interesting. :D
“The Traveler’s preset to visit ten worlds before returning to the original. Maybe then, Konno-san will be able to bring you back”Always knew Konkon would do great things. :yay:
“Kon-Kon?”
“She’s the one who created the Traveler”
Now that I think of it... You're not too twisted to put Yossie x Yossie (otherworlds) are you? xD!?
My guess: Miki from the other world has came to save Yossi:ONxD:Considering the quote she heard was "Holy shit", who else could it be? :P
My guess: Miki from the other world has came to save Yossi:ONxD:
I wonder if something happened to the Miki in that world that made Aya so sad. And Maki's there too! Awesome!stop stealing my thoughts >.> Haha kidding.
Finally, clearing her throat, the singer was ready to say something that not even she believed yet.Upon hearing this, Aya and Maki both did this...
“I’m from another world”
^
If Kaoru (why the hell I always read Koharu? >_<) is Rika's daughter, it's because in Kaoru's world the Time Machine exists, so if she causes chaos she only has to turn back time before she does.
Btw in the Mutant Moster's World, it was Aya-Yossi and tha's why Aya is so confused and sad?
Aya and Yossui were lovers in that world? Maybe? Perhaps? Please?
Wonder where everyone else is... Miki most likely took all of them into her... Sexy Island...
Ohohohoho... Yet another world where Yossie is dead... Can't wait til I see a world where she's alive. YOSSIE x YOSSIE FOR THE WIN (Yes, I'm twisted xD) :]...
But at the moment, I'm curious about Yossie's history in this world, what is her relation to the others? How is Kaoru handling this? :] Is this really a school project? I mean, to travel across worlds... That's a pretty huge thing, like what if she causes chaos among the others? o_o; I doubt the teachers would let her do something as huge as that... Maybe we'll find out later? <3
Btw in the Mutant Moster's World, it was Aya-Yossi and tha's why Aya is so confused and sad?
“I’m from another world”
Upon hearing this, Aya and Maki both did this...:panda_omg2: :panda_omg2:
Aya and Yossui were lovers in that world? Maybe? Perhaps? Please?
This is getting better and better!
I bet you that's what happened. In the midst of the ongoing war with these mutant busybodies, Miki was killed in action saving Yossie. As Miki's dying wish, She wanted Yossie to take care of the others (especially Aya). In the process of protecting the others, Aya and Yossie grew close and begun a short-lived relationship until a mutant ambush came crashing onto the base. Yossie protected Aya until her last breath and she died in the arms of Aya. And thus, Why Aya is sad.
LOL. Ok. Maybe I got awhile carried away (and maybe a bit cliche'd?) But wow. Aya X Yossie would definitely be something new to me!
Ah~~ I can't wait for the next chapter!
That last line really makes me think that Eri really isn't to be trusted.
“I promise I won’t try to kill anyone” answered the younger, joking.That's cute...and scary.
At least now, she had someone to trust.Or DOES she??? :o
The dead Yossi & Aya aren't blood related... so... they might be lovers?That might be pushing theory a little too far in this case...considering the fact that there are several references where they say that Yossi and Aya were like "sisters" (Aya at least, thought of Yossi as a sister) and that they grew up together.
Slowly, as if she was measuring each step she took; a slender silhouette appeared from the shadows and walked towards the clearing, letting the moonlight to cover her body with a mysterious aura.
From the feet to the head, Yossi watched every detail of that woman. From the rough boots, the thigh leather trousers and the shirt showing her curves, to the scar across her right eye and cheek.
As if the presence of that stunning Fujimoto Miki wasn’t enough, the staging of another person emerging from the shadows made Yossi’s heart stop for a moment.
“Rika…”
@ JFC, Amarghetta, black, coachie;
Miki would be hot even with a trash bag XDXD
“Why I always end being the guinea pig?” complaint Nono while Eri was helping her to stand up.
“Because you wouldn’t be a great loss”
@ JFC, Amarghetta, black, coachie;Especially if that was the ONLY thing she had. :jerk: :drool:
Miki would be hot even with a trash bag XDXD
@ JFC, Amarghetta, black, coachie;
Miki would be hot even with a trash bag XDXD
Man, A battle scared Aya is pretty hot too (thinks back to Sukebans open scenes Aya) Dude, was that awesome or what? Or am I the only one who thinks so.Yeah, doesn't Aya have some scars in this story if I remember correctly?
@ JFC, Amarghetta, black, coachie;How much more dirty can you get? :P
Miki would be hot even with a trash bag XDXD
How much more dirty can you get? :P
“I’m not gonna let you hurt Rika…”
“Stop me” reply Matsuura still with her arrogant attitude.
“Wanna fight?”
“Come on”
Ignoring the continuous verbal attacks against her from the younger, Miki bent over a bit and took off a pair of sais from her boots.
But, when everything seemed lost, someone stood in the monster’s way.
“Stupid girl…”
The younger, still in the ground, heard Miki grumble some other complaints while kicking the beast’s asses. One of them went too close to her and, as a reply, got a sharpen sai into its chest. She kept fighting without loosing it a bit ‘til the last of them fell dead.
Sweating and still breathing heavily, the older offered her hand to Aya.
Girlfight!!!
*ahem*
Why can't everyone just get along peacefully?! D:
Stupid monsters!! Why they have to bother in this moment!? A fight between them would be epic!
whoa! miki and aya? they hate each other??
Intriguing, continue, please.
Miki with her sai? How much hotter can she be...
Shizzam~ Aya and Miki kicking butt? Yeah, Id pay to see that ^^
Hell, Id sell my soul for the ticket..
Keep em coming! Im waiting to see how this pans out. Will there be romance btw ^^
Even if this world, she can't let (stupid, stubborn) Matsuura die...
Stupid monsters!! Why they have to bother in this moment!? A fight between them would be epic!
Wanna bet who'd win? :P (I'll trhink about the possibility of a real fight between them, I promise)
“Why I should do that?”.
“To live?”
I like this chapter a lot!!!
I think Miki was in love with Yossi and that's why she says to Aya “I know more than you imagine…”
Miki and Aya were in love with Yossi, but Yossi loves Rika, isn't it?
Will you make a flashback of Yossi's death :O?
I love your fic! Congrats!!!! ;)
“Good! Then hear something else!” this time Miki was really pissed of and, tired of the younger’s stubbornness, she shouted at her “Wanna know why you hate Rika so much? Because the princess couldn’t stand that there’d be someone else in Hitomi’s heart…”Unrequited love...it's such a bitch.
“Shut up!”
“She took you’re place and it felt like a kick in your guts, right?” Miki continued her attack kneeling again in front of the other girl and placing her hands on the wall, leaving just a few inches between them to make sure that Aya heard what she had to say “You felt betrayed…”
“You don’t know anything!” fought back Matsuura with a tear menacing to drop “You can’t know how I feel!”
“I know more than you imagine…”
let's see...
@GeTaWay; it's not Yossi who Miki was in love with... she was in love with someone... but definitely not Yocchan :P
Miki continued her attack kneeling again in front of the other girl and placing her hands on the wall, leaving just a few inches between them to make sure that Aya heard what she had to say “You felt betrayed…”That's EXACTLY how I imagined it, even before I read that part. *highfive for dramatic actions!*
I have to admit that I almost don't want her to leave.
tried to comment on your fic blog instead, but couldnt get the box to open up, but anways....aya cant die!!!, lol shes one of my favs in the HP. but nice chapter as usual. i also like that rika and yossi r talking more
Unrequited love...it's such a bitch.
Aya can't help but cuddle to Miki, and Miki can't help but want to protect Aya, they're MEANT TO BE!!!
This fic is all kinds of awesome! From battle scars and weapons to love and jealousy, this totally has me hooked! And it's still early in the story! I really can't wait to find out what happened to the battle-scar world Yossui and what happens to our Yossui. Keep up the great work, len.chan!
Aibon! *~*
I wonder, do they all know that they were singers? Was this whole invasion by monsters recent, so before that they knew they could sing? If so, why, just sing your worries away! ok, stops being stupid now...
Hmm another question. Was I reading correctly when you said Yossui and aya were sisters (or was I imagining)? If so, then I see her jealousy as more of a Oedipus (sp?) Complex rather than unrequited love (and I'm with JFC it's one big bitch)…
Hey Len >.> Does the Rika in this world… have…long and purrrtty hair?? >.> Cuz if she does, I’ll wub you forever and eevvveerr
Miki calling Aya Princess… It reminds me of something I’ve watched… hmm.
-Owaranai_sLaVe
Awesome-ness~
I can't believe it.. what a short comment!
. . . that was.... -_-' <3. DAMMIT what was Rika saying about Miki before she started crying?! URGH! That part is killing me as much, if not more, for Yossui's answer to Rika. Oh Miki~ Always saving the day when the drama is happening.
... Miki cracks me up in any story, serious or not. Love the temper. love love love.
-Owaranai_sLaVe
*eyes bleed* ...Ok Im going to try and get this straight. Correct me if Im wrong...I just want to summary this chapter
There WERE two Clans.
Nakazawa was the leader of one (Along with Nacchi, Miki, Rika, Kaori, Maki)
Mr. Yoshizawa was the leader of the second. But he died. So Yossi became the new leader after winning a fight and decided it would be better if the two groups come together (Because lots of men and a lot of little girls isnt a good idea?)
Aya is Yossi's Step Sister.
When Rika met Yossi she fell in love.
When Miki met Aya, hell broke loose ^^
Yossi was angry at Aya for not helping. Aya yells at Yossi and tells Yossi something painful about her father! (Aya and Mr Yoshizawa had a love affair?Lol)
..ahhh...I cant wait to see whats happening next. Its so deep.
(*Pulls out PTA Charm and chants - "There's not place like Perv"*)
Don't expect perv in this fic.. there'll be just some hints, but definitely nothing explicit :PNothing explicit? Dang :( Oh well, the fight--> kissing scene was nicely done though. :)
“When you’ll stop doing this, Miki!? When you’ll stop risking your life as if nobody cared about it?! I don’t wanna lose you too…”So Miki was in love with Rika while Rika was in love with the Yossi of that world? :scratch
“That didn’t seem to matter when you asked me to go back that day and risk our life for something that was already lost it!” Miki got rid of Ishikawa’s grip “Do you really think that I don’t know that you still blame me for leaving her? You told me then, remember? That I let her die ‘cause she wanted to take you away from me!”
“You know I didn’t mean it…”
“Of course you did!”
Suddenly, a knock interrupted the conversation.
“Miki, you’re lady’s awake”
Hearing Kaori, Fujimoto gave the talk for finished and walked towards the door. But before closing it behind her, she turned to Rika one more time.
“You know? I’d had exchanged my life by hers just to make you happy…”
You have changed your singnature!
Waiting for 12.
So Miki was in love with Rika while Rika was in love with the Yossi of that world?
Double posting, I know, but I was too lazy to click le edit button xD..
LEEEN~! LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO xD~!
Er, if it's too inappropriate, I'll take it off xD Resizing the picture made the scar look weird, but oh well xD~! I kinda half-assed it actually, haha. Hell, I don't think I even finished drawing it xD! I'll draw a better version later on xD
YAY! YAY YAY!! GAAAaaaAMM!!! YAY!! Me still thinks its a bit fast though...but me doesnt care because its GAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaM YAY YAY!!
Well...there wasnt a perv but there was perv implied...I still give my thanks to the power of the PTA CHARM!!! (Owaranai I thought we should have some sort of summoning thing...cookies, charms..I dunno...up to youYes, yes I think we should. I have to talk to Sev who is actually thinking of a lot of stuff about PTA right now, we're planning something big... But yes, I like cookies... but I cant bake >.>; Unless someone wants some PTA cooking...
cool fic! :) (I voted for it!)
do katanas and sais have anything to do with the ninja turtles?
like
leonardo leads (yossi, katana)
and
Raphael is cool but rude (fujimoto, sais)
I swear I didn't do it on purpose!
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you didn't...:ONwahaha: :ONwahaha: :ONwahaha:Quote from: bot;320600do katanas and sais have anything to do with the ninja turtles?I swear I didn't do it on purpose! :ONxD: :ONxD:

I thought that that weapons were the ones that fit them better..
God.. I haven't seen the Ninja Turtles for years... I'd almost forgotten about them XD
“Who are you in your world? A clown?” said Miki with a mocking tone while she began to walk around Yossi.
“I’m the leader of a group” answered Yoshizawa brandishing the sword again ready for the next round “We sing, dance and work hard to make people happy with our songs”
Fujimoto couldn’t help but bursting out laughing.
“Yeah.., but don’t laugh ‘cause you’re the subleader”
I um...ah..was...well......sorta...a-..aroused...Yossui and Miki fighting with katanas and sais...then a full on brawl...dude...awesomeHa, ha ha ha ha hah~ I wasn't the only one!
Ha, ha ha ha ha hah~ I wasn't the only one!
wait... :ONsweat: *hides*
Ok, not aroused, but more than amused and less than "omg wet". But definitly awesome. It's almost better than the mud wrestling! Wait, it is! Weapons then a fist fight... yum.
-Owaranai_sLaVe
The younger looked at Fujimoto who was trying to get rid of a bunch of kids climbing on her back. She really seemed different from the image that Aya had about her at first. Someone who, apparently, cared so much about the people around her couldn’t be so bad, right?
"...Rika will always love Hitomi"
Ah, so sweet:ONluvluv1: And true, too:ONxD:
*Hugs* Frieeeeeend!! I totally thought I was alone on that one XD I was worried!Hey, we're all family/friends in PTA ;) We stick together, even in pervy thoughts, haha.
Yay for plot development! Things seem to be getting awkward on the Yossi/Rika front. They both know that the other is not the one they love, but because of the identical thing and everything...confusing, as usual. I hope they figure out what to do before making any hugeass mistakes they'll come to regret.
And hmmm! Aya appears to be re-evaluating Miki. Excellent! GAM~~~!!! Ahem. Love how Yuko played wise mother/giver of advice here. Aya could do well to remember how to be the "little Aya" that Yuko remembers. Can't wait to read more!
For some reason, I do believe that kids like being around Miki. Dunno why, but there's something about her which makes me think so.
Yay, update! Lol at Miki being attacked by little kids.
I just can't help but picture the kids ontop of Miki... that's so cute. I wanna ride Miki...
Aww! Cute chapter! -says in singsong voice- Aya's in love~! -stops singsong voice- The Yuko/Aya convo was great, Yuko really got to Aya and that was good. <3 And I really love when Yuko said "You didn't punch me yet."
Agreeing with my cousin xD
Aya is definitely reconsidering her feelings for Miki as the writing has deeply implied. I definitely look forward to her character development, seeing that she's the one who seems to be worked on the most :]
This is just the conflict I see happening. The whole "She's just like her... But not her..." kind of thing. I'd imagine that after a few worlds, she'll lose that conflict in her head whenever she meets Rika. Wonder how she'll cope with it as of now :<...
I still want to see Hitomi meeting Hitomi in some future world out there... It's like.. Prince and the Pauper? xD!!!? Or my twisted ways that you'll never do (Yossie x Yossie? Roffle xD)
Aya/Yuko convo was definitely the focal point in this chapter. In it we see some aspects of the personalities of Aya & Miki (and in a way, Yuko too) previously unseen in this universe's versions of them. Very nice to see the human side of things amongst all the (good) craziness of the rest of the story.
Ah, Ishiyoshi is love. Rika's comment was absolutely sweet! Also, the Aya/Yuko conversation was good, and I think it opened up Aya's eyes (say that 3 x fast!) some more. Of course, I giggled at the mental image of Miki berating, yet playing with kids.
Kyoooot!~
they thing that keeps me wondering, who did Rika have kaoru with, was she married? I guess we have to wait a little longer to find out or something
“I know” she said with sorrow in her voice “But it doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from. The only thing that matters is that Rika will always love Hitomi”
I refuse to write Yossi x Yossi!haha, if it happened, I imagine they'd spend all their time trying to seduce each other with no avail.
remember the Hello! Morning where the girls went to a school and played teachers? There Miki seemed very kind with the kids and enjoying being with them, although I can bet that she felt more like one of more than like their teacher XD Someway, I wanted to show that side of Miki in the fic.

Kaoru's real name is Dolly. And she is a sheep XD
Well, there IS a theory that life is entirely possible to be created by fusing two ovas (eggs) together, eliminating the presence of a sperm altogether (lol)....... I gather that since whatever dimension Kaoru came from is probably advanced enough to make possible that technique.......
Of course, artificial insemination is more possible, but I like my theory better because then Kaoru will *really* be their kid. XD
“I wanna go home…”
To be continued...
“What?! Nobody can see it?!” the calmness in the other girls began to desperate Gaki-san who took the nearest girl to her and began to shake her “It’s a ghost! A gho…”God I love Miki-sama. :lol:
Plaf
She’d chosen the wrong girl to shake.
“Better now?” asked Miki with her hand still raised, ready to slap the younger again if it was necessary.
Risa just nodded, unable to say something coherent, while she was looking at the apparition in front of her.
Plaf
“Miki!” shouted Yuko.
“Just in case”
“What?! Nobody can see it?!” the calmness in the other girls began to desperate Gaki-san who took the nearest girl to her and began to shake her “It’s a ghost! A gho…”
Plaf
She’d chosen the wrong girl to shake.
“Better now?” asked Miki with her hand still raised, ready to slap the younger again if it was necessary.
Risa just nodded, unable to say something coherent, while she was looking at the apparition in front of her.
Plaf
“Miki!” shouted Yuko.
“Just in case”
“She’s a good girl” said Asami with a smile while she was taking a little screwdriver from her desk “She has the same aura as her mom”Konkon always was the smart one. ;D
“She told you?” asked a surprised Yoshizawa.
“It’s not so difficult to see, you know? It’s in her eyes…”
“My father died a few years before the earthquake and, since then, Mom put all her hopes in my sister and never really paid attention to me. I guess that’s why it wasn’t so shocking when it happened. After all, her favourite daughter had died to save the useless and cry-baby kid that she never wanted”That's just fucked up, right there. :shock:
“She…”
Aya couldn’t say it. The words chocked in her throat unable to believe what Miki was telling her.
“She tried it” finished Fujimoto, understanding what the younger was trying to ask “But hey, I was a slippery midget and I ended just with this awful present in my face”
“But why? Why a mother would want to do something so…”That we all love. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/giggle.gif)
“I guess pain changes people. She changed, she went mad and tried to forget that I’d ever existed, but I changed too…”
“You became a touching demon obsessed with girls?”
The letter was in her hands, still closed. She was dealing with an internal fight, trying to restrain herself from reading it when she was dying to know what it was written inside.So the world Kaoru is from is going through some type of conflict too? (if it's already been mentioned I just forgot and am too lazy to look :P) Can't help but wonder if it's some type of premonition to what going on in this world? And who is the mystery man mentioned in the letter? (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/crazy.gif)
‘To Rika’
She read again. No doubt it was her writing, but she never wrote it. Probably it was the other Hitomi, the one from Kaoru’s world… A letter to her mom…
Yossi stared at the corridor for a moment, making sure that there was no one else there and then she opened it.
“Just a look...”
“Just three days and…” began to say Fujimoto leaning to found the other girl’s lips.DAMMIT RISA!!! Miki was going to say it! She was going to SAY IT!! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! :frustrated: :pleeease:
“Mmm..?”
“…I…”
“Miki!”
“Nakazawa… trying… find you…” Niigaki stopped, trying to recover some air.The group that Aya's affiliated with? They must be worried sick about her and/or think she's been captured and/or killed. Hopefully they haven't gone and done something stupid.
“What does she wants know?”
“Her friends…” answered the younger pointing at Aya “…trouble… hurry!”
Who's in trouble? :O!!well, I answered that question above XD It wasn't so difficult to know with Risa pointing Aya and sayin 'her friends' XD
Who all were Aya's friends again? Maki and?some mentioned before like Eri, Sayu, Reina and Aichan and some others that you'll see in next chapter.
Couldn't it just have been a few of the Eggs or something? :pleeease:I second that, and then some.
“Thank you” said Rika before letting her go “At least, we finally can say goodbye”
“I love you too, Princess”WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! She said it! She SAID IT!!!
“She ask me to give you a message”NEW RECORD!!! ;D
“What?”
“Seventeen”
Everbody, even Aya, didn’t have a clue about what that message could mean but Yuko began to laugh out loud.
“That deserves a party!”
o man what the heck did yossie do in this world!
O woah, Rika a princess! defiantly fits her personality, haha
I'm really sorry for the delay, but as I promised, here's finally, the new world XDNo worries! As long as we get our fix. :D
Once the blinding light disappeared, the sharp pain of hundred knives hit her head. It was nothing like the first time; it wasn’t just a simple headache. The pain overwhelmed her senses, she felt sick, she felt her strength leaving her body and her legs couldn’t stand her anymore, making her collapse to the ground.Something about the "jumping" process is causing this?
“Captain?”Yossi's a Captain? Of what?
...
“For God sake, what happened to you?”
“Long story, Mako-chan…” she said smiling slightly “…long story”
Maybe it’d been better to go straight to the next world and the next and the next ‘til they finally reached Kaoru’s and could send Yoshizawa back to her own place. But what if the sudden changes made things worst? The whole travelling thing seemed to affect too much the older. First the headache, now that horrible pain reflected on Yossi’s face. Something was wrongYeah, if it weren't for the whole "horrible pain" thing, that would probably be the safest course of action. The less time spent on each world, the less chance of being exposed to the potential dangers of each world.
Someone must be hearing her prayers up there ‘cause, finally, she saw a pair of silhouettes not so far. Two men to be exact. Two men wearing what seemed uniforms and weapons. Guards maybe? Kaoru didn’t care. There wasn’t time and they could help. Full stop.Why do I get the feeling that it's going to a one of those "us VS them" deals with Mako (who found Yossi) and company being against the guards that Kaoru found? :-\
“Yoshizawa-san!” she shouted with a bit of desperation in her voice. She couldn’t be far, she couldn’t…Uh-oh. That's not good.
While she was still searching around, one of the men approached her with a serious expression on her face.
“You said Yoshizawa?” he asked rudely.
“Princess Guard’s Captain Yoshizawa Hitomi is wanted in charge of the King’s murder”Of COURSE it had to be something big. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/nono.gif)
“Where…?”Rika. Gotta be.
“Don’t worry. You’re safe now”
Even if it wasn’t true, the smile that came with those words would had make Yossi believe any lie.
“You’re staying here until we find what to do”Yep...definitely Rika.
“Rika…”
“I told you, Yocchan. You’re safe here…” a gentle and delicate hand caressed Yossi’s cheek and travelled to the back of her neck, playing with Hitomi’s hair and then pulling her closer for an unexpected, brief and soft kiss “…with me”
“Me? Of cou..rse not…”Hah, Makoto's so easy to read. :P
“I know that face, Ogawa”
“What face?”
“Your face of ‘I’m hiding something’”
“I’m NOT”
“Oh YES, you are”
“Mako-chan! What are you doing here?”In the kitchen eh? My guess is that it's Konkon. :heart:
There was just one person left in the kitchen at that hour and Makoto knew it.
“She didn’t like it, right? That’s why she’s hungry now. She didn’t eat the lunch ‘cause she didn’t like it and sent you to pick something that she likes better...”IT IS KONKON!!! :wub:
“Konkon…”
“Captain’s back”Man, even when she spazzes, Konkon's hella cute!!! :inlove: Guess the secret's out of the bag now.
...
“Yoshizawa-san’s back?!”
“Ssshhhh!”
The Lieutenant turned her head frantically from one side to another to make sure that no one heard Konkon saying that name. T
...
“Can you say it louder? Someone at Hokkaido didn’t hear you yet!”
I know she’s innocent. I trust her”Uh-oh. Rabu-rabu torayanguruu. :O
“You mean you love her”
“Asami… I’m not having that conversation again…”
“You don’t know? You mean… you lost your memory?” Yossi nodded her head at the question and Ishikawa averted her eyes from her, staring for a moment at the covers of the bed, trying to figure out what was going on “But… you remember me, right? You know who I am…”Crazy at it may seem, this whole "amnesia" thing might just work well enough to get the Yossi of THIS world off the hook. All that's needed now is to see if "traveling Yossi" can pull off the acting. The hardest part will be the possibility of hurting Rika's feelings.
“Five days ago…, someone killed the King. Everybody thinks it was you”Either that world's Yossi was chasing the real killer, who had just gone unnoticed, or the person seen was just someone who loooked like Yossi, or that world's Yossi really did do it (let's really hope that it's not that last one).
“Why?”
“Someone saw you running away from the royal chambers”
“The Great Counsellor requests your Highness presence” Risa cleared her throat a bit and then spoke again “Immediately”The Great Counsellor? Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this person?
So, if each time Yossui travels she has worse pain, how is she going to get home? If it was already so bad this time, she'll probably pass out or something next time. And why doesn't it affect Kaoru? Did she take a special pill or something before she left?
Something about the "jumping" process is causing this?
Might have something to do with two analogues from different dimensions existing at the same time? Kaoru didn't have an alternate equivalent in any of the three places she visited.Quote from: BlizzardSo, if each time Yossui travels she has worse pain, how is she going to get home?

Man.... thinking plays a huge part in this fic!..
Lets see... hmm kaoru is from the future, so she's probably used to these kind of effects? maybe theres many similar type of devices where she comes from, like a similar one where she can teleport around the place but not to different worlds? Or.. since she's from the future, the mental and physical strength of people from the future have grown stronger which is why Kaoru is not affected.
Btw.. Konkon isn't the smart Konkon we know from the previous world right? She's a cook? haha I thought she's be like sneaking into the kitchen for more food or something. And I guess almost everyone has already asked this but.. is Yossi in this world still alive? Oh Kaoru, what happened to her? Was she jailed for knowing Yossi??
Ooh, I like this fic. ^^Thank you!
Hah KonKon's a cook. I can somehow picture her being a cook. :P
The unknown ended being a dark cell waiting for her at the end of a corridor.Omgass! They've got Aichan too! :shocked:
“I haven’t done anything!”
“That’s useless” said a voice somewhere near “It’s a lost of time to try to talk to them. I know, I tried”
“Who are you?”
“Oh, sorry” From the corner of the cell next to hers, Kaoru saw a silhouette moving out of the shadows “Takahashi, Ai”
“I was just trying to get help ‘cause Yoshizawa-san was feeling sick and then those guards arrested me ‘cause they say that I’m some kind of accessory from the King’s murder and took me here where I definitely shouldn’t be!”Ok, so this world's Aichan definitely has some connection to this world's Yossi. Question here is, is it in a good way or a bad way? :?
“You know Yoshizawa-san? She’s here? She’s alive?” asked Takahashi with a hint of hope in her voice and without paying attention to the rest of the speech that her new roommate had done almost without breathing.
“Please, tell me! It’s important” asked the older again, desperately “If you’ve seen her that means that she’s alive and if she’s alive, she can tell everybody what really happened!”EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!! :OMG:
“And… what really happened?” Kaoru forget a moment about her worries and saw Ai-chan words as a way to get some information from the other girl, instead of telling her about Yossi “Why are you here?”
“I saw the real killer”
“Why didn’t you tell them?”Perhaps some type of impersonator/doppleganger...or even maybe ANOTHER TRAVELER! :scared:
“Of course I did!” now it was time for Aichan’s outburst, who went to the door of her cell and kicked the bars “I’ve spent the last five days trying to explain what I saw but nobody believes me!”
“Why? Who was?”
“The King”
“No, I mean, who killed him?”
“I told you, the King”
An awkward silence filled the room for a second until Kaoru finally reacted.
“The King killed the King?”
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me” said the older, sitting in a corner and crossing her arms with a deep sigh “God, I don’t even believe myself…”
“No, wait a minute. You mean there were two kings? Two identical men?”
“I know, I’m crazy”
The Lieutenant turned her head and looked at the table. On in, there was just the tray with food she had left a moment ago, anything else. There was not signal from Yoshizawa-san’s belongings. Then, she returned her attention to the opened window and the curtains swinging with the slight breeze coming from outside.Either the princess' room isn't that high up, or there are ledges outside that Yossi was able to use to climb down.
Please no…
“At least she could have said goodbye…”Oh...she's still there...nevermind then. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/oops.gif)
“I’m still here”
Yossi’s words didn’t reach Mako’s ears in time to let the younger process her presence there and avoid running into the taller. Surprised, she made some steps back and stumbled, ending with her ass against the cold floor of the balcony.
a guard that Kaoru hadn’t seen before opened it and came inside the jail seizing someone tightly. That someone turned out to be another girl that the young traveler had met before.Sounds like the girl might be Miki...or possibly Reina. O0
“Say hello to the new guest, girls”
The newly arrived, with her wrists and ankles tied with chains, stared at the other two girls for a moment before the guard pushed her inside an empty cell. Then, she turned to the bars, looked at the guard and smiled mischievously.
“You know I won’t stay long”
“The last time we underestimated you…” said the man approaching the cell and looking back at the daring girl “I’m not going to make the same mistake twice. If you try to escape again, I’ll forget that you’re a girl”
“You’re really funny, you know?” he said turning to the girl “Those chains you’re wearing are maid of the most resistant metal of the country. If you can escape from them, maybe, we’ll talk”Well, so much for being "the most resistant metal of the country". :lol:
And those were his last words before closing the door and leaving the three girls alone.
“Those haughty men…” sighed the chained woman while she was turning to one of the corners of her cell, giving her back to the other two “I was just trying to be nice…”
Both Kaoru and Ai heard a noise coming from their partner’s cell, like if something really heavy had fell to the floor. What was her surprise when the other girl turned to them completely free from her chains…
“What the…?” Kaoru needed to ask a lot of things but she couldn’t form the words properly. That girl wasn’t kidding when she said that she could escape.
Len.chan has some problems with her internet conection, so she's not able to post the next chapter yet. But she's going to post it as soon as posible. Please be patient.Thanks for the heads-up.
“What you have to tell me better be important, Counsellor. I was busy” said the Princess, making clear with her tone that her status made her stay above everyone else in the room.Hmmmmm...considering how easily they started sniping at each other, Rika's "sister" must be Miki, and Aya is her attendant like how Risa is Rika's attendant.
“What? Doing your nails?” asked another voice behind her.
Turning her head, Rika glared at who had just entered. Another woman at her side whispered something at the ear of the newly arrived.
“Oh! Come on, Aya. I was just trying to loosen up the air a bit.
“You always so caring, sister” replied Ishikawa clearly pissed of.
“And you always so stiff…”
“They never get tired, uh?”A third sister, and it's Sayu? What is this, an alternate universe version of King Lear? :?
“Yeah” answered Aya with a resigned sigh. Then, she looked at the girl at her side and met with Sayumi’s bright eyes “I’m sorry, Princess” said the older bowing “I didn’t know it was you”
“Don’t feel sorry. People seem to not notice me, anyway. I’m already used to it” replied the younger with a slight smile “So, you know why they wanted to see us?”
“I don’t have idea, highness. Those two began to argue before we could ask”
“Has arrived to my ears that your beloved Captain could be back in town. What do you think? Should we watch our backs?”Hmmm...this makes it sound like Yossi had a less-than-honourable past before she became captain of the guard at the castle. Evidently it was cause for concern for Miki. She seemed to want to trust in that world's Yossi, but that nagging feeling she had just wouldn't let her.
“Don’t talk like that about her. You know she’s innocent”
“She ran away, Rika. How can you still be so blind?!”
“I trust her”
“Dad trusted her and look at what happened. Everything is a mess because of her!”
“Everything was a mess before she arrived!” Ishikawa finally exploded “Or I have to remind you who saved your ass every time you got yourself into a fight because you got drunk at some tavern? She always kept your pretty face safe and covered all. That doesn’t mean anything to you?!”
“I’d like to believe in her as much as you, but people doesn’t change, Rika-chan. She was a…”
“Well…” an older woman a few meters away from them cleared her throat “Now that our beloved Princesses had enough fun… Can we talk about the issue why I called you?”EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!? :OMG:
“Of course, Counsellor” answered Sayumi making a few steps to stand in front of her two sisters, who even now where glaring at each other.
“Abe-san, please”
Natsumi took an envelope from the inside of one of her kimono’s long sleeves and gave it to Sayumi, who opened it and began to read it immediately. It took less than one minute for the Princess to finish the letter. Then, she raised her eyes, looked at the Counsellor and finally turned to her sisters with a worried look on her face.Lemme guess...with the king dead, his brothers from the south feel that his lands and wealth rightfully belong to them (since none of the girls are old enough to rule yet on their own) and as such, they're coming to lay their claim as the new rulers of the land.
Rika took the piece of paper that the younger was passing to her and read it too.
“This is true?” asked Ishikawa staring at the Counsellor.
“A messenger arrived this morning from the South and knowing the King’s brothers… I’m afraid that yes, it’s true”
“What are you talking about?” asked Miki, taking at the same time the letter from Ishikawa’s hands and reading it “Oh, shit”
“With the King dead it was just a matter of time” stated the older woman.
“Nakazawa-san… What we should do?”Huh? So Nacchi's not the Counsellor? Yuko is?
The Great Counsellor Nakazawa Yuko took a deep breath and looked straight at Rika’s eyes.
“Prepare for the war and pray for a miracle to happen”
“Goto Maki! You are one of the most wanted bandits of the country!”Maki's a bandit, eh? One of the most wanted? She must be damn good.
“You’re a bit slow, don’t you?” smiled the older while she approached the bars separating her cell with Ai-chan’s
“Wait…, aren’t you one of Yocchan’s pets?”Shit, this world's Yossi used to be a bandit? She and Maki must have known each other back then (perhaps even being partners) for her to refer to her with such familiarity. No wonder Miki has mistrust for her. Whoever really killed the king must have planned to frame Yossi right from the start. Assuming that everyone knew of Yossi's criminal past, she'd make an easy scapegoat.
“I’m Lieutenant Takahashi, not a pet and… you said Yocchan?” she asked a bit confused “Only Princess Ishikawa call Captain that way”
“Forget it”
But Takahashi wasn’t going to let it go so easily. Why a famous bandit had familiarity enough to call her Captain by her nickname? Of course, Yoshizawa-san knew about Goto, it was part of her job, but the way Maki had said the name…Oooooooooooooooooooooooh...so NOT everyone knows about Yossi being a former criminal? If not, then how did she manage to become one of the palace guard (let alone the Captain). Who else knows and how/when did they find out? :o
“You know Yoshizawa-san, right?” insisted the younger.Sounds like Maki's pissed off at this world's Yossi as well. Perhaps she felt betrayed or abandoned when Yossi joined up with the palace guard. Hell, for all we know Yossi was the one who actually captured/turned Maki over to the authorities in the first place to save her own skin.
“Well…, yeah. What about that?”
“We need to get out of here. She’s in trouble and we have to find her” Kaoru’s voice began to sound a bit desperate “If you’ve been able to brake those chains, you can take us out of here”
“What makes you think that I care about what happens to her?”
“I’ve been away for a while. I missed something important?”Okay, so regardless of whatever ill-feelings she might have, she still knows Yossi enough to not believe that she killed the king.
“The death of the King”
Goto turned immediately and looked at the girls still not believing what Ai-chan had said.
“He was killed five days ago” continued the Lieutenant “And Captain’s the main suspect”
...
“Come on, Yocchan wouldn’t kill a fly”
“That’s not what the whole country thinks. And since that happened, everybody’s looking for her, no matter if it’s for help her or catch her”
“I’ll just help you to get out of here. Don’t ask for anything else, ok?”Indeed, it doesn't exactly make sense to try and escape during the day when the majority of the prison guards are still on duty. It's also easier to sneak around at night than it is during the day.
“That’s enough” smiled a satisfied Kaoru.
“When we’ll do it?” asked Ai-chan.
“Now”
“Now?! But it’s still early!” shouted Takahashi.
“And?” asked Goto while watching carefully every inch of the metal door. She didn’t even pay attention to the almost hysteric lieutenant.
“And?! Wouldn’t be safer to do it at night?!”
“But I’ve got an important appointment with someone who’s probably already angry at me. I love my head, you know? I’d like to keep it over my shoulders a bit more” then the older turned to the girls again “So, we’re going. Close you eyes”Maki has an appointment to keep? It must have been made long before she was thrown in her cell, or a message was somehow snuck in and given to her.
“Aren’t we there yet?”Yossi doesn't have friends? Was this world's Yossi generally un-sociable except to a select few? If
“Almost” answered Ogawa “Why do you wanna go there? Who are you looking for important enough to risk your life?”
“A friend”
“Owes you money?”
“What? No!” said Yossi looking confused “Why do you say that?”
“Because you don’t have friends” was Makoto’s serious answer.
“All done” said Maki “Let’s go”There's obviously something more to Maki than we've been lead to believe. She's undoubtedly more than just a simple thief. Whatever abilities she has (if any), they must have helped make her a good/effective/successful bandit.
Kaoru and Ai-chan opened their eyes at once to discover the doors of their cells both on the ground and the bandit standing in front of them, waiting. They had been hearing weird noises while they had their eyes closed, as if the metal was cracking and then falling on the floor, but they’d never imagined that Maki would be able to actually shatter the door that way.
...
Ai-chan obeyed immediately and soon was at Goto’s side asking questions that Maki wasn’t going to answer, but Kaoru, while she was passing over the door, saw something that caught her attention and stopped.
Water?
She kneeled and stretched her hand until touching the transparent liquid that was all over the edges of the metal. She hadn’t any doubt, it was water, but, how had arrived there was a mystery.
“You shouldn’t have done that” said Matsuura walking towards the Princess and taking her aching hand “You’ve hit an innocent column, you know?”Awwwwwwwwww... :D
“I can’t help it!” Miki let go Aya’s hand with rage “You were there! You know what’s going to happen!”
“Don’t shout at me ‘cause that’s not my fault, ok?!”
...
“I’m sorry” said the Princess lowering her voice and looking at the younger girl in front of her with submission.
...
“It’s ok” replied Matsuura taking tenderly Miki’s hand again “I understand how you’re feeling, but you can let the rage take control on you”
“Nothing would have happened if she...”Is the "her" mentioned her Yossi? But that means...Miki loves YOSSI??? :OMG:
“Stop saying that,”
“She...”
“She nothing. I know you love her, Miki. After all, she’s the one who brought me back to you” Aya smiled and caressed the older’s cheek before letting her hand rest on her face “You’re angry because she disappeared, because she makes you worry about her...”
“Maybe I’ve caught the flu or something” she lied “Last night I went to the river and it was a bit cold...”Ah, even in magical kingdom-land Miki's still a shameless flirt. :pimp:
“You went to the river?” Aya’s expression changed. She was now angry “It was freakin’ cold outside, Miki!”
“And you weren’t here to warm me up...” complained the Princess with a playful grin, taking Aya’s waist and attracting the girl towards her.
“Change your clothes and go to bed” Matsuura’s expression softened “I’ll bring you some soup”K, I gotta ask, are you just messing with us? :P Could the "boiling" of Miki's blood be due to the fact that, I dunno...MIKI HAS MAGICAL POWERS?!?!? :scolding:
Miki nodded happily and smiled at her friend, but once the door closed behind Aya, her smile dropped from her lips.
“I can’t let you know...” Miki stared at her hands. She could feel the blood in her veins boiling “I can’t”
Rika was walking back to her chambers thinking about the letter. They were in deep trouble. It wasn’t the first time that her uncles menaced the kingdom, but they’d always had her father to stop them. The only war she knew about was the one that happened when her grandfather died and the four brothers fought for the throne.Shit, no wonder the brothers are anxious to take over. Right now, with their brother (The King) dead, presumably by the land's best soldier, each brother has his "eye on the prize". Without their two "top guns" (The King and Yossi) so to speak, and an army that right now is likely lacking direction/leadership, they must look like the proverbial sitting duck right now.
Now they were alone. Their kingdom never had a great army and their best soldier, the only one her father would had trust enough to lead them, was now the most wanted criminal.
“Take your hands off of me!”Kidnapping a princess right out of the castle? That takes balls.
“Why we should do that?”
“You’re going to be in trouble! You don’t know who I am!”
“Of course we know, Princess” answered the one that seemed to be the leader “That’s why you’re here”
“Boss, we should keep going. The soldiers are probably following us already and this place is dangerous”
“But boss, this is Inaba’s territory...”Inaba? She has minions? Where does she fit into all this? :?
“I don’t care about that woman and her little minions”
“How he called us, Gocchin? Minions?” she asked turning to her friend that had followed her outside the shadows.Ahhhhhhhhhhh...so Maki and (that world's) Yossi know Inaba, eh? She must be the ringleader of their little band of thieves. And judging by the reaction of the one kidnapper, she's probably not one to be trifled with.
“Atchun will laugh when we tell her”
...
“Boss, they’re Yoshizawa and Goto... we can’t win...”
she looked at Rika “Sorry for the mess, lady. Are you ok?”Love at first sight? :wriggly:
“I... uhm... much better... Thank you”
A kind smile appeared on the taller’s lips. She couldn’t tell why, but the way that girl was looking at her made the young bandit feel the same excitement than when she was in a fight, a real one. The blood pumping in her veins, her muscle tensing up, the warm invading every inch of her skin, the butterflies in her stomach... No, wait... That last one was new.
“Yocchan?” asked the Princess after closing the door of her room and being sure that nobody can hear her.:pleeease:
...
Her things weren’t there, the plate of food untouched... Then Miki’s words came to her mind again.
Maybe people don’t change after all.
“They’re coming” announced Kaoru, who had her ear stuck on the door.If Maki times it just right, she might be able to get the drop on the guards just as they open the door.
...
Maki waited too, leant against the door with her right hand holding the knob strongly, hearing every step that the guards were doing towards them.
Before he could end the sentence, the apparently harmless door hit him on the face, directly to his nose, and made him fall dragging the other man along with, too. The youngers couldn’t deny that Maki was smart. She had waited behind the door, knowing that the men would be unprepared and, the first moment that the door was unlocked, she pulled with all her strength and then push it against the soldiers with a sharp blow. Now they were on the floor, one half unconscious with his face covered with blood and the other trying to get up.Nice. Now they just have to make sure to knock these guys out so that they can't alert anyone else. :thumbsup
The bandit stood up without paying attention to the other man and threw the soldier’s sword to Ai-chan, who was quick on the uptake but didn’t know what to do with it.Maki made a promise not to fight/do any harm to anyone? Can't help but wonder why she did it, not to mention wondering who she might have made this promise to. :?
“Why me?!” she asked to Maki.
“You’re a soldier, right?”
“And you a bandit” complained the younger “Do your job!”
“I can’t”
“Why?!”
...
“I promised that I wouldn’t hurt anyone, ok?” said Goto answering the Lieutenant question. She had leant against the door and was watching the fight with her arms crossed “Do you really think that I let those inepts capture me if it wasn’t that way?”
“But you knocked that guard!” replied Ai-chan that had began to sweat trying to repel her opponent’s attacks.Hmmm...a loophole in the promise?
“Technicaly, the door did it”
Takahashi was so puzzled with that answer that she lost all her concentration for a moment, something that the guard seized to disarm her and throw the sword where she couldn’t reach it at the same time that three more guards came into the room.Yossi??? :O
If Maki was decided to not move a finger to do something, they were helpless.
But shomehow, when Takahashi was seeing herself again inside the cell, and this time with reason, a silhouette stood in the way between her and the guards waving the sword that she had lost seconds ago.
“Time to practice, little girl!”Bit of a strange time for Kaoru to have a flashback, but whatever. :bigdeal:
“...early...” grumbled Kaoru under the sheets.
“Come on, sleeping beauty”
The sheets suddenly flew away from the bed, leaving a young woman wearing just a tank top and pants exposed to the look of her teacher.
“Goto-san!” exclaimed the younger trying to reach the sheets.
Kaoru was seventeen and she was living with Shibata since her mom died one and a half year ago because of an accident at the laboratory where she was working. Since then, she had never got time to be alone. Her mom’s family seemed to be disappeared before she was born and, since she never met her father, Ayumi, Ishikawa’s best friend from childhood and Kaoru’s godmother, took charge of her.Damn...poor Kaoru. :cry:
Then, there was Goto Maki. That woman always seemed to her a bit... odd. She visited her mom often, sometimes once a week, but hardly talked to Kaoru, as if she was trying to avoid the younger. Sometimes, she was convinced that Maki hated her or something. But then, there were those times when she caught the woman staring at her with a sad expression in her eyes. She was really an enigma.There must have been a reason why Maki would act to her that way. By the sound of it, it sounds like it's something painful (for Maki anyway).
After her mom’s dead, everything changed and that almost stranger had got the habit to appear in her home early every morning to do what she called ‘training for the future’. Kaoru didn’t understand the sudden interest in her safety, but Ayumi told her that it was her mom’s request and then she couldn’t deny -not to mention that she liked to see her aunt happy and, for some reason, the Goto Maki mere presence in the room made Ayumi’s eyes shine- So, two reasons to do it. Some exercise couldn’t be so bad."Training for the future"? Somewhat odd change in Maki's character. Still though, it must have been a relief to Kaoru to know that Maki might not hate her as she had originally thought.
“A sword...”What the...her "exercises" with Maki is arms training? :o
“Yes” answered Maki.
“Why I need to know how to use that? I like a gun better”
“You know enough about guns. From now on, it’s sword time”
Goto Maki moved from her spot at the wall. It wasn’t too much. She just approached the fallen soldiers and took one of the swords. Then she turned to Takahashi and threw the weapon to her for the second time in that day.Pet? Aichan's not likely going to be thrilled with being called that. :P
“Help her a bit, pet”
There was a girl in front of Ishikawa’s door.YIKES! :scared:
She had knocked, twice, but, seeing that no one had intention to open and hearing some noises coming from inside, she doubted that the Princess would had actually heard her.
“Rika?” she asked opening the door slowly and sticking out her head a bit, wich almost caused her to lose it when a silver plate flew just a few inches away.
“Shiba-chan? I’m... I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to...”Yeah, keeping your head is a good thing. :D
“Don’t worry” replied her friend with a smile “As long as I can keep my head with me, it’ll be ok”
Shibata, then, took a look at the room around her. It was all messed up. The bedsheets and pillows all over the floor, some food, wich Ayumi deduced that was minutes ago at the flying plate, spread on the table and part of the ground, a chair with just three legs crashed against a closet and the missing leg inlaid in a near paint hanging in the wall...Ouch...temper tantrum? :shocked:
“Time to split up, ladies”Good job. :mon thumb:
The two youngers stared at the bandit while trying to recover some air after the running. Someway, they managed to escape from the building and arrive to a little forest inside the walls of the palace where the trees keep them hidden from the patrols.
Thanks to you, I’ll be able to appear in front of her without breaking my promiseAgain I ask...who? Inaba?
There were only two women who would risk everything to protect Yoshizawa Hitomi, just one of them with power enough to keep her hidden from the others at the very center of the palace.Obviously Rika is one...Mako's probably the other.
“Well go to see Princess Ishikawa”Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh this is gonna be interesting. :yep:
Sounds like Sliders + Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.....She haven't watched Sliders :P
“There’s no one here, Captain”Indeed, if you're trying to not be separated from someone, better to pick one place both of you are familiar with and stay there (or at least in really close proximity to it).
Yossi wasn’t totally expecting to find Kaoru there. In the few days that she shared with the girl, the singer had begun to understand her a little. If the younger was worried about her, she probably would be looking anywhere but the place where they arrived. Yossi couldn’t blame her, she was just trying to help, but as soon as she found the girl, they should talk about her craze to disappear.
“Really, Captain, we must leave” Makoto thought for a moment and then spoke again “You can tell me how’s the person you’re looking for and, after finding some place safe enough for you, I can came back and keep looking. But please, we have to go”Awwwwwwwww dammit. :banghead:
“Ok”
...
They couldn’t advance too much, though, because five soldiers were blocking the way.
“Yoshizawa Hitomi, you’re under arrest”
While her way back to the castle to see Rika, Kaoru kept dreaming about how that person would be. Seeing her mother in those other worlds, younger and with so many different ways of life, made her wonder how she could still be the same cute, kind and smart woman that she loved so much. The girl sometimes had heard her aunt telling that Ishikawa Rika was like a princess when she was younger; well-mannered, talkative, with a charming aura that could make to fall in love the most insensitive of the hearts… Now she was going to meet a real one.Wait a sec, I distinctly remember that there was a Rika in the first world she and Yossi visited. Did Kaoru just happen to manage to completely avoid her during that whole time?
“Gaki-san is the friend who had to help us?”Why does that last part that Aichan says make me feel uneasy? :?
“Yeah”
“Why are you so sure that she won’t give us away?”
“Because we trust each other. I know that she’d never betray me”
“Ok then, were do we find her?”Either Risa still uses the room they're in, or there's some secret method that Aichan can use to signal her that they're there.
Ai-chan just sat on the bed, resting her back against the wall and stretching the legs, letting her feet hanging from the edge.
“We’ll just wait here”
“Please, leave your swords on the ground and come with us without resistance”Always impressive seeing what one is able to do when one is forced to or is desperate enough. :yep:
“I’d like to…” began to say Yossi taking the sword out of its sheath slowly. Makoto thought that it was the end. Yoshizawa was going to give up and they would spend the rest of their life inside a dark cell “…but I’m in a hurry”
Hitomi aimed the sharp edge against the soldiers with strength hoping that some of the abilities to fight that she acquired at the previous world would be still inside her. She had done pretty well against the monsters; probably those men wouldn’t be worst.
But her hand wasn’t so sure.
And, at the same time that her knees began to fail, the, until now, gentle breeze rocking the top of the trees, became a strong wind that made the branches shake. And then, she felt it caressing her skin and wasn’t afraid anymore.
Her whole body recovered its strength.
Her hand was firm.
There was, again, something different inside her.Yossi's good, but with all due respect, considering how much actual training/experience she has, she can't be this good. Might we be seeing a bit of mystical help coming to her aid? If so, from whom?
...
Yossi herself was surprised by the agility of her movements, by her capacity to deduce her opponent’s movements and beat them.
“Behind you!”Oh yeah, DEFINITELY magic's involved now. :O
It was just an instant, but the Lieutenant would remember for the rest of her life that second, when she saw Yoshizawa turning to receive her attackers, with a movement so subtle that only the air that the edge of her sword cut noticed it, and then those four soldiers flying twenty meters away without her captain touching them.
When Makoto reacted, she took an astonished Hitomi, that was still wondering what had happened, by her arm and ran until they could find a safe place where hide themselves for a while.
Sitting in a bed, with her arms crossed and shaking the feet nerviosly, was still waiting an anxious Takahashi. Kaoru, even if she wasn’t enjoying the same confort, had prefered to wait hidden inside the tunnel in case that something went wrong.Probably better that way. Don't want to have Risa freak out from seeing a strange person in her room, after all.
“You’re sure you don’t wanna come with us tomorrow?”Oh crap. :mon ref:
“Pretty sure, Nakato”
Hearing that name, suddenly Takahashi felt sick. Nakato Toshiro was an arrogant captain from the infantry of the kingdom that was after Risa for a long time already. One of the Lieutenants from the Princess’s Guard could be a great prey to boast about in front of the other officers, and her friend was too innocent to notice the game.
“Think again, Niigaki” insisted the man “After today’s news, tomorrow could be our last free day in a long long time”Nice going Risa! Maybe she's not as naive about him as Aichan thought. :)
“I know” answered the girl while turning the key and opening slightly the door “But tomorrow I have an important appointment. So, if you excuse me, I wanna go to bed” Risa entered her room and the soldier, that didn’t even flinch, tried to follow her. But the girl, that had seen the movement coming, pushed him and, with a murderer look, made the man move away “Alone, if you don’t mind”
“Risa, I need to know if you still believe in me”Awwwwwwwwwwwwww... :wub:
Gaki-san doubted for a moment, but the look in Ai-chan’s eyes made her understand that her friend needed desperately someone who she could trust.
“I believe in you, Ai-chan” she returned the hug with a smile “Just tell me what’s happening”
Ayumi closed the door of her room after her and let out a sigh. Her free day lost because of nothing. After all, what could she expect from that kind of person? That people aren’t known for being able to keep promises.Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh snap! Is it? IS IT??? :o
“You look beautiful in that kimono”
The voice surprised Shibata, who turned suddenly towards the window.
“But you would look even better without it” continued the stranger seated at the edge of the window.
The expression on Shibata’s face change from astonishment to an intense blush, that covered not just her face but her whole body. The lips of the newcomer drew a satisfied grin.
“Goto…, you are…”IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MAKISHIBA!!! :cow:
“The one you love the most?” finished the younger with a playful smile.
“Incorrigible”
“But you love me”
“I don’t know why I should…” answered Shiba-chan with a pretended death glare.
“But you do”
The older pouted still not looking at the girl holding her waist. She knew that Maki loved to play with her like that and hated to admit that, somehow, she even liked it.
“Yes, I do”
“You do what?”
“I do love you. Happy now?”
“I missed you”:inlove:
This time any trace of her playful smile had disappeared from her expression and had been replaced by a tender look that melted Ayumi’s remaining defenses. She surrounded the younger’s neck, attracting the other girl towards her for another kiss…
…that never arrived.:lol:
“Hey!” Shibata had suddenly remembered something and pulled the taller away “How do you escaped?!”
Abe Natsumi was at the frame of the Consellour’s office’s frame as if she was waiting for the other to give her permission to enter. But Nakazawa just stared at the dark grooves of the wood on her desk.The military must be in pretty bad shape. They're probably disorganized and lack the leadership and inspiration that the King and that world's Yossi gave them.
“Do yo know what’s going to happen, right?” she simply stated.
“Yes”
“And you know, too, that there’s no way to stop it…”
The younger just nodded. She knew pretty well that their resources weren’t enough to defense the kingdom against an attack. But then, Yuko raised her head and looked straight at Natsumi with something in her eyes that the younger knew perfectly. She wasn’t going to give up even if it was going to be a lost battle from the start.
“What are we doing here?” Abe finally realized where the Counsellor had taken her.$10 says that it's that world's Yossi. :pimp:
They were in front of a closed door. A door that hadn’t been opened since the King was found dead.
Yuko took the knob and turned it slowly.
“I’m going to show you one of the best kept secrets of this kingdom”
To be continued...
QuoteWait a sec, I distinctly remember that there was a Rika in the first world she and Yossi visited. Did Kaoru just happen to manage to completely avoid her during that whole time?
While her way back to the castle to see Rika, Kaoru kept dreaming about how that person would be. Seeing her mother in those other worlds, younger and with so many different ways of life, made her wonder how she could still be the same cute, kind and smart woman that she loved so much. The girl sometimes had heard her aunt telling that Ishikawa Rika was like a princess when she was younger; well-mannered, talkative, with a charming aura that could make to fall in love the most insensitive of the hearts… Now she was going to meet a real one.
Quote“Ok then, were do we find her?”Either Risa still uses the room they're in, or there's some secret method that Aichan can use to signal her that they're there.
Ai-chan just sat on the bed, resting her back against the wall and stretching the legs, letting her feet hanging from the edge.
“We’ll just wait here”
a wolf with sheep’s clothing
-Shiban-chan, are you there? I need your...
Ayumi needed a whole second to let her mind process what she heard. That, definitely, wasn't Maki's voice.
-Oh God... -spoke the voice again.
-Great... -this time it was the bandit. Kisses stopped and hands suddenly disappeared.
-What's all that, Yuko? -she was still trying to adjust her eyes to the new light and could believe if what she was seeing was true.
The columns were around the cave and, when they reached the roof and its base joined the platform at the center, the whole room had floor. The bridge disappeared and the door closed.
-This, my dear Nacchi, is our secret weapon.
“Nakazawa-san,,, Even if you are de Great Consellour... I don't know if it's ok for us to be here...”Something tells me that okay or not, Yuko's probably been in this room before, and there's a specific reason why she's going there now.
Yuko didn't pay attention to what the other woman had said and walked into the room, gesturing Natsumi to close the door after them. She looked around, scanning the room with narrowed eyes until she found what she was looking for in one of the corners. Then, she walked towards the spot and Natsumi, after thinking a moment if she was allowed to do the same, followed her superior.
There, hidden behind a silk transparent curtain, there was a little portrait of a young woman, shinning with a beautiful smile in her lips.Now then...who was the Queen? :)
“He never forgot her, right?”
“None of us could never forget her” replied softly Nakazawa, while she caressed the frame of the paint, passing her index finger slowly from the top to the bottom “The Queen was truly special...”
The real reason for the portrait to be there it was to hide something else. Something inside a little box that was now in the hands of the Great Consellour.The key? As in...the secret is somewhere else, but they need this to get to and/or actually be able to make use of it?
“That's the big secret?” asked Abe-san curious.
“Just the key”
Ai-chan and Kaoru were still looking at each other, unable to decide what to do. With their faces covered, the Princess obviously had taken them as simple maids and now it was going to be difficult to explain the truth. They both turned to Risa asking for help desperately.Oh crud, busted? :?
“Your Majesty...” the little Lieutenant cleared her throat before continue speaking “...they're not here to clean...”
“Takahashi-san?” asked a surprised Princess.Well, mentioning Yossi probably/hopefully helps out a bit.
“Before you call the soldiers to arrest us again, there's something we need to tell you”
...
“Who's that girl?” asked Ishikawa staring at Kaoru.
“That's why we are here. She's looking for Captain. She said that Yoshizawa-san needs help”
The look on Rika's face darkened suddenly.Or....not? :o
“For what I know, she's doing pretty well alone...”Oh crap. :bleed eyes:
“But we need to demonstrate that she's innocent”
“She stated it pretty well that she don't need my help”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, she came to me, said that didn't remember anything and then ran away again without a word. If she wanted so badly to go back to her other life, at least could have told me...”
“Your Highness...” said Kaoru finally speaking “I really need to find her”
“And I have more important problems that I need to take care of” cut the Princess with angry “So, please, leave this palace. For the years you've served me well, Takahashi, I'm not going to tell anything, but I'm not going to help either”
“We're sorry to have disturbed your Majesty” said Niigaki with an apologetic tone “We'll leave now”Gonna try one more time, Risa?
The girls couldn't do anything else but resign themselves and get out of the room without any clue about what to do next. Risa told them to wait for her there a moment and returned inside one more time
Just when the younger opened the door again to leave, the Princess called her, still without looking at her.Eh? She helped them after all?
“Niigaki”
“Yes, Highness?”
“The Blue Hell”
Risa smiled lightly and bowed before leaving definitely.
“Are you going to tell me what was that?”I'd wager that that's something we'd all like to know.
“What?” asked Yoshizawa at the sudden question.
“You just made those men fly away like mere leaves with just a movement... How?”
“Just Yossi it's ok. I'm not your captain” Hitomi saw the expression in Mako's face and understood that she should found a way to explain herself without revealing her secret “...at least, not anymore, since I'm being wanted by murder. I guess you can tell that it's like I'm fired so, no captain, ok?”Well, somehow I doubt that even THAT world's Yossi could do the stuff that she did in that fight (otherwise Mako wouldn't have been so surprised by it).
Makoto sat down at the humid groung and laid against a tree. “And now what? Do you have any plans to prove your innocence?”One step at a time. Find Kaoru. At least then, even if they're not able to prove her innocence, they both (hopefully) will still have a way out.
“Not really” answered Yoshizawa sitting at her side “First, I have to find my friend, then we'll see...”
* "BLUE HELL" DESCRIPTION/DISCUSSION*Well, considering the characters they've met so far, and the past history of that world's Yossi, it would be (at least somewhat) logical that she'd use that place as a refuge. She probably knows it well enough to be "safe" there, unlike those who would be pursuing her.
-What happened? -asked Takahashi appearing from behind the secret door.Eep. That wasn't "Captain Yoshizawa". That was Yossi.
-It seems that they found Captain at the west gardens.
-Is she ok?!
-Probably. She left a few unconscious guards behind her and ran away -answered Niigaki to calm Kaoru and then turned to Ai- They said that Makoto was with her and went towards the forest.
-So...?It's in the same direction that Yossi and Mako were going in? Could be that even if she's from a different world, Yossi still thinks.......like Yossi.
-So, you're probably right and she's heading to the Blue Hell.
*MAKISHIBA SCENE*Opening part...:drool:
-Oh my Goddess...Damn right she does! :wub:
-What? -asked the older, confused.
-You really do love me, don't you? -this time there wasn't mocking tone, nor half smiles or second meanings.
-I... well, you are..., you know, important... in some way...
What I mean is... -Maki took some breath- I've heard the word love so many times..., but in the end, no one ever cared... It feels surprisingly good to know that someone does, that someone wants me to return safe and it feels even better if that someone is you.SHIBA-CHAN'S KILLER SMILE!!!
Shibata sat on the bed, looking at the younger with a wide smile on her face.
*MAKISHIBA HOT 'N HEAVY*:mon blood:
-Shiban-chan, are you there? I need your...CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
Ayumi needed a whole second to let her mind process what she heard. That, definitely, wasn't Maki's voice.
-Oh God... -spoke the voice again.
-Great... -this time it was the bandit. Kisses stopped and hands suddenly disappeared.
The older looked at the other girl in her bed and then at the unexpected guest in front of them. The burst of rage was almost instantaneous.
-Do you know why the hell doors exist, Rika?!
The princess was taken aback by the angry friend in front of her.Not just angry, but her angry...NEKKID friend.
-I'd like to say it's nice to see you again, Princess, but considering the circumstances -she then looked at Shibata- I guess I'll get going.Eh? :O
-No! -both Ishikawa and her friend shouted at time.
-Well, I understand why Ayumi wants me to stayWOOOOOO! :cow:
-I'm going to the Blue Hell and it'll be easier if you guide us.Ah, Rika still cares for Yossi after all! :oops:
-The Blue Hell?
-Wait, us? -asked Shibata interrupting.
-Why do you want to go there? -both bandit and princess ignored the girl that still was naked under the thin silk sheets- It's not a place for people like you.
-I'm going to find her and I need you to help me.
-That's the second time today that someone asks me for help. I'm a bandit you know? I'm not a good person.Rika/Shiba-chan = :mon cute: :mon cute:
-Yes, you are.
Looking at her lover, she found herself being attacked with puppy eyes. Maki couldn't stand that look on a girl. If she had a weakness that would never reveal to anyone, were puppy eyes. It was the only way to reach her soft side and the bandit hated to admit that she had it. The worst thing is that, when she looked away from Ayumi, she found the same expression on Rika's face.
-I hate you -she finally said- Both of you.
-What you're about to see it's a secret passed through generations at our Queen's family and I was entrusted with it when she got sick. Not even the King knew about it.Wait, not even the KING knew about this? :shocked:
-And you're going to show it to me now?
-The time when we'll need them has come.Yeah, "who" is Yuko talking about, and why did they have to come to this secret chamber to get/find them?
-Who?
*SECRET ROOM*What the....
-This, my dear Nacchi, is our secret weapon.:dizzy:
To be continued...
I guess Miki represents fire and Yossie the wind... There are only two elements left...
