The Loved One

Chapter 42

-Yuzu

"Oh my god..." she gasps, and smacks me upside the head.

"I thought you were dead! Do you know how long I haven't seen you!?" Haruhi exclaims.

"A month or two," I shrug.

"And then when we show up at you're karate school, and you don't even tell us that that was you!"

"Dude, calm down! I'm alive, and I told you! At least I decided to tell you! I was planning on never telling you, but no! I had to tell Tamaki, and I thought that maybe since he understood, maybe my sister would understand my feelings! How do you think I felt!? Abandoned? Alone? Well, guess what! I have had nightmares about my friends and family dying for the past year, and nobody had ever thought that they should ask me if I was okay! Even my husband! That's why we got a divorce! He didn't care enough to ask about my feelings, when I asked about his every single day! And what makes it worse is seeing my own sister side with him, when neither of you know what's actually going on! God! I hate my life! You're lucky I'm still here in this house!" Haruhi was quiet while I rambled on, and then she hugs me, crying.

"You scared my to death," she sobs into my shoulder.

You know those moments when some starts crying because of something you did, and then you start crying? Yes? No? Maybe? Oh well, that's what's happening right now.

"I'm sorry." I sob, and we just stand there, hugging.

"I don't wanna go!" I pout, like a child, as Matthew carries me over his shoulder.

"You have to, it's an important meeting." Gilbert sighs.

"But my burgers! I left them at home!" I cry out.

Yup, I'm back to my normal childish self, but I'm still hardcore when it comes to training.

"Shut up, idiot!" Lovino glares at me.

"Lovi!" I try to hug him, but Mattie's hold on me is firm.

"Don't touch me!" he hides behind Lilica.

"Sissy, Lovi and Mattie won't let me give Lovi a hug." I pout.

"That's because you would run away right as soon as you hug him." Lilica sighs.

"No I won't!" I lie.

"Liar." Mattie chuckles.

"Meanie," I stick my tongue out at him.

"I'm just trying to help," he sighs.

"Behave, Yuzu, or I'm taking all your candy." Lilica tries not to smile.

"Not my candy! My dealer would be mad if I ordered so soon!" I exclaim.

"You do drugs?" Gilbert asks me, as if he understands.

"No, it's real candy. Like chocolate and all that stuff." I giggle.

"Yuzu! Where are you going!?" I hear Athena call.

"I have an important meeting!" I call back.

"Moon! Tonight! Be at my house!" she calls.

I quickly pull my phone out, and like she had said, tonight's a full moon.

"Kay! I'll be there!" I call.

I sigh, as I realize that I need to get some supplies for our first full moon. So, I type it on my phone.

1) Chains strong enough for a truck not to be able to break.

2) Animal blood.

Matthew sets me down, and I keep typing, unfazed.

3) Burgers, milkshakes, and fries from McDonalds.

4) Garlic and holy water.

Then I turn my phone off.

"Okay, we have to come today to talk about the nightmares everyone has been having," Germany sighs.

I look up, and notice that everyone has dark circles under their eyes, well, everyone except the girls. We wear makeup. But I notice that no one has any wounds.

"What are these nightmares like?" I speak up.

"It's opposite genders, of our opposites." Arthur adds, trying to dumb it down.

"I'm not an idiot." I roll my eyes.

"You may not be, but some people are." he sighs.

"I have a question," everyone turns to me, and it's silent, "does anyone... I don't know... wake up injured after these nightmares?"

I get a lot of no's, and not that I know of's.

"Why do you ask?" Lilica turns to me.

"Because I was gonna look it up in my books, and see how they're coming in contact with us." I sigh.

"That makes sense." Ludwig nods.

I look at the clock, and my eyes widen in shock.

"I've gotta go," I rush out the room, and to the closest store.

I buy some chains, fit to the description, animal blood, garlic, and holy water. Then I go to McDonalds, and order four burgers, two large fries, and two large strawberry milkshakes. Then I head to Athena's house.

-Lilica

Gilbert, Matthew, Alfred, Francis, Antonio, and I follow Yuzu, discreetly. We watch as she but all these strange objects, then she goes to McDonalds, and orders stuff there. Then she heads to a large house. She stops in front of it, and kicks on the door. It swings open, to reveal a semi-female Gilbert, but her facial features are different.

"You get the stuff?" the girl asks her.

"Yeah, take the stuff inside, I'm gonna get something for a shot." Yuzu hands the girl the stuff, and leaves.

Once the girl closes the door, we follow Yuzu, again. We follow her, as she buys a syringe, and then we follow her back to the girl's house.

"I got it," Yuzu says to herself.

Then she does something I never expected her to do. She gives herself a shot. Then she draws the blood, and pours it into a cup. Then she pulls a random bandage out, and cover it.

"Dude!? Why'd you do that!?" the girl appears, suddenly.

"It's for the spell. I read that to prevent death, you need the castor's blood." Yuzu adds, and a book appears in her hand. "Now, we need a tub of water, holy water, castor's blood, and you. Okay, stand in the middle of this." she points at a small kiddie pool, full of water. "Now, I have to say the spell, you can't move, and you have to stare at the moon. We'll only have to do this once every five years." Yuzu starts the chant, as the girl positions herself. "Domine, Domine. Adversus hoc miserae opem maledictionem eius identitate abscondere lamia. Domine, Domine. Adversus hoc miserae opem maledictionem eius identitate abscondere lamia." Then the girl collapses to the ground, as all the holy water is gone. "Athena!" Yuzu calls, and catches her. "Wake up."

She starts to panic, and she lays her on the ground. The places her ear on Athena's chest, listening to her heart. And then she relaxes, instantly. She slings Athena over her shoulder and walks away.

"That was strange..." I speak up.

"That was awesome!" Alfred exclaims.

"Yeah, but not as awesome as I am." Gilbert boasts.

"Yuzu couldn't keep her hands off the girl. Onhonhon." Francis laughs, suggestively.

"Shut up, idiot. Yuzu's not like that." I roll my eyes.

"Well, let's go home." Gilbert sighs, and we agree with him.

"Night guys," we split up, and head home to sleep.
