Part One
Riku and Mai: Trying
Chapter Fourteen
~back-flash~
“I can’t sense her,” Ninja looked around. Again they had landed in the wrong world.
Tundra looked around, she then rolled her eyes, “This might be the wrong world, you know, I don’t remember anything about her living on sand.” She picked up some sand and let it fall through her fingers.
Hurricane, calmly sighed, “Or maybe she’s not active,” she tried to ease Tundra’s harsh temper.
“What does it matter? We can’t find her now!” Tundra yelled out of anger.
“Stop it. We must find her, if she’s attacked by Dawn or Dusk without her lover she might die.”
“Wait, what lover?” Tundra threw a sharp look at him.
Ninja nervously turned away and tried to walk off but it failed when Tundra pulled him back and turned him around.
“Answer me!” she yelled, “What do you mean her lover?!”
Ninja groaned, “Fine, the Goddess has a human lover, and that’s why we can’t find her right now.”
Tundra released him and stared amazed. She then collected her self and folded her arms, “You know who the human is don’t you? You have to know, otherwise you won’t keep it a secret.”
Ninja tightens his jaw, he knew that telling them that the Goddess had a lover was a wrong move. Making them worry about her more was something he was trying so hard not to do.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ninja tried to lie, but it failed.
“TELL ME!” Tundra pressed with a demanding voice. “Liar!”
“Alright, alright, alright, geez, her lover is the only human to enter Heart Haven and live… and also leave.”
A gasp came from both Tundra and Hurricane. “What?!” they said together.
“You’re telling us that we’re also looking for Riku Shade? The only human to enter and leave Heart Haven alive?!” Hurricane asked shocked.
“Yes,” Ninja said.
“You’re lying.” Tundra clearly didn’t believe him. She was sure he was lying.
“No, I’m not,” Ninja protested, “Besides we still have to find her regardless of her lover.”
Tundra folds her arms again, “Well let’s get off this world, I’m sick of being here.”
“Yeah, the dessert is killing me.” Hurricane agreed with less hostility in her voice and behavior.
Ninja nodded and opened a corridor. Leaving that world behind.
Seconds after their corridor closed a purple carpet flew over the dessert with a young man and a blue man on it.
~End Back-Flash~
Mai stared at them. They were all gazing at her as they rose. Mai tilted her head in confusion. She de-summoned her blade and swallowed, she hoped that she did the right thing. Mai backed up a couple small steps and waited.
“Goddess, I’m Ninja, this is Hurricane and this is Tundra,” He lifted his hand to his left introducing Hurricane and lifted his right hand to introduce Tundra. They bowed as their names were introduced.
Mai stared they meant no harm from what she could see. But she could be wrong, she had the ability to do that.
“What do you want from me?”
“Goddess,” Ninja said, “We’re here to protect you,” he answered her while he knelt down.
Mai stared confused then the two females followed his lead.
“From what?” Mai folded her arms, “I don’t need protecting.”
“Dawn and Dusk,” answered Hurricane.
“I already met them, they can’t fight.” Mai shook her head.
“What? You have?” Ninja asked.
“Goddess, how did you defeat them? There are stronger when they are fighting together,” Hurricane asked.
“Please stop calling me that,” Mai asked annoyed.
“What shall we call you?”
“Mai,” she answered.
“We need a symbol of power, authority if you will,” Ninja said.
“Fine, Mrs. Shade then.”
“Mrs. Shade, we will watch you, so please accept our help, when ever you’re not with Riku your powers become weaker, and Dawn and Dusk will destroy you without little problems no matter how strong you are now.”
Mai frowned. She didn’t like that so much. She folded her arms and stared them down. “Are you saying I’m weak?”
“No, we…” Ninja bowed and remained there as he continued, “We know you, we know how the powers of those we protect work. That’s why we are special. We know just about everything about the thing we protect… we know seventy-five percent of your life like we were there for it. The rest is basically your thoughts and whatever you hold secret.”
Mai swallowed. Then she quickly thought about it, she didn’t have to worry about them reading thoughts. Clearly these beautiful people standing before her were not able to read minds.
“So, you’re Lightons?”
“Yes,” Ninja said rising. “We will protect you for as long as we can, or until Dawn and Dusk are dead.”
Mai nodded. “Fine.”
Mai turned away from them and opened a corridor. Mai then realized that they were following her. Mai rolled her eyes and they came with her inside the corridor.
When inside the corridor, Mai was instantly hugged. Mai was confused at first, she had no idea why she was being hugged and by Saix too. That was just strange.
“Mai,” Saix said, “You… you can’t…”
Mai stared at him confused. She tried to understand what he was talking about but nothing came to mind. “What? What can’t I do?”
“Mai… you can’t…”
Saix lowered his eyes. He held a sad face.
“Who are they?” Axel asked.
“It’s not important,” Mai said, “Saix, tell me, what’s wrong? What can’t I do?”
Axel sighed, he pushed Saix out of the way. Axel hugged Mai, he held her tightly in his arms. He smoothed her long flowing brown hair. “Mai, you can’t have a child, you can’t have a baby.”
Mai’s eyes widened with anger, shock and rage. She pushed Axel away and started to glow with anger. “What the %@!* do you mean I can’t have a child?!”
Axel took her into his arms again. He held her tighter than before. “Doll, listen, I know it’s hard but… you can’t… you can’t have a child, no Emo-troller can. Understand?”
Mai pushed him off once more and started to tremble.
Axel went to touch the side of her face. Mai instantly pulled away from his reach, “Don’t touch me!” she yelled as tears ran down her face. “Don’t touch me!”
Mai cried for a while, her three guardians stood speechless as their Goddess cried in pain. Axel sighed, he glanced at Saix, Saix was facing the opposite way with his emotionless face. He was hurt to tell Mai that. Axel looked at Mai and collected her in his arms. Mai tried to fight him off but Axel held her tightly.
Mai fought more and more but Axel just held her tighter. Mai soon gave up and continued to cry. She then wrapped her arms around Axel and continued to cry. She couldn’t control herself any more.
“You should tell Riku something,” Axel whispered to her.
“No! NO!” Mai yelled, “Riku wants to be a father!” she cried more and more. She couldn’t hold herself together any more.
After a while Axel sighed again, “Saix, did you find a loophole?”
Saix stood silent.
“Saix?! Is there another way?!”
“I didn’t find any,” he answered slowly.
“Hahahaha!”
A laugh?
Axel, Mai, Saix and the three guardians snap their heads up in confusion. Who was laughing? Mai snapped her head toward her guardians. She glared at them with rage.
“Not us, Goddess,” Ninja bowed and Hurricane and Tundra did the same.
Mai narrowed her eyes in confusion. She looked around.
The laugh again. Who was it?
Mai widened her eyes. She opened a corridor and ran inside it leaving the others behind.
She grabs the laughing fiend and shakes him.
“What the * beep * Doki?!” Mai held him by the collar of his clothes. She shook him violently.
Doki laughed again, “You ant a child? With that human?!” he laughed again. He was unmoved by Mai’s anger and violent shakes.
Mai shook him more, “You know something?! Don’t you?!”
Doki’s laughs stopped. He looked up to Mai and smiled, “Of course, don’t I always?”
