Riku and Mai 2

[TwilightRiku_13]

Okay, I'm really sorry to what happened between you and your now ex-boyfriend, and, if you'll let me, I just want to say a few words about that. First , a question, why did you date an Aetheist if you are a Christian? I mean, religion can be a big factor in relationships, and, if a person does not agree with another person's religion, it would be very hard to have a good relationship. Now, about not ever wanting to date again or having a relationship again, I think you are letting your anger take over in this aspect. You are only 17 years old, and it is normal to go through bad relationships. Now, I am not agreeing with what this boy did to you; I mean, this guy had no right to treat you that way. What I am saying is that you are still young, and you still have time to establish good relationships with other boys; like the old saying goes, time heals all wounds. I hope I do not sound like I am making this my business because I am not. Now back to the story. Those were some really great chapters. I cannot wait to see what Dawn and Dusk want with Mai. Anyway, great job, and I look forward to more.

Well, I didn't know that until after some time. And even then he never bashed my religion until I asked him why. He told me though that something happened in his life and that's why but he never let me in to know what it was.

And seriously, I have more than one reason as to why I don't want to date again. I don't want to go into all of the details but just know that no one around me makes relationships look good, and I don't feel like seeking for a good one. Besides, I have more things to worry about than boys, and even if I date again, I'm dating a boy that will be able to stand the cold treatment I'm going to give him. If he can stand the cold treatment then I know he's the one. Or at least he better be the one. Because then I'll be ticked off.

(sigh) I plan to talk to him Tuesday though, I still want him as a friend, I don't mind him at all, it's the fact that I broke up with strong feelings and him not making the break up easy. (sighs) Until I meet one person who can tell me that everything in a relationship is good and can prove it, only then will I make a complete u-turn on dating, but so far EVERYONE is telling me the wished they had waited or they wished they had been single longer or wished they were single now, that tells me one thing and that thing is that they're not happy. Christians I know say things similiar but not that exact thing. It hurts y'know?

But whatever. I just hope that I can talk to him.

Okay, I understand. If anything, this is just another learning experience in life, and I just hope that everything goes well with your relationships now and in the future. I mean, like I said before, you are still young, and you have time to establish good relationships; just be patient and everything will work out in the end. Anyway, enough of my rambling, I can't wait until your next update.

[Zipporahss]

Thankies for the concern guys, I needed it. So far I'm ready to get this sadness over with, I plan to talk to him tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get through to him but if not then that means we weren't meant to be friends.

Here's the next few chapters for you because of your concern.

Enjoy!

Part One
Riku and Mai: Trying
Chapter Eight

“We’re too late!”

“Ninja! Ninja, stop!” a girl followed behind a male, “I can’t keep up! Slow down!”

“No!” He stopped to see the dark flames that had engulfed the house of ocean color. Quickly he summoned light to his hand and aimed it at the dark fire. When it grew to the size of an apple it removed all of the black fire that was present.

“Tundra, stop this fool before he-”

“They’re alive!” Ninja said in relief wiping the sweat from his brow. He grinned as he looked at the blue creature, a small girl, a three legged creature with one eye, a tall woman with a nice butt and a large round man with six eyes ran from the house. They were all unharmed but they were all scared.

While he smiled he was pulled back into the brush and thick trees by his collar. “You idiot, they’ll see you!” Hurricane said. She snorted.

“At least Stitch and his family are safe Hurricane,” Ninja said. He said rubbing his throat.

Tundra groaned, “Clearly she’s not here, let’s get going and kill those jerks before they get to the Goddess.”

Ninja rolled his eyes, Tundra was the cold one in the group, not so much a carefree person like Hurricane was. Ninja being the leader found her hard if not extremely difficult to deal with.

“Yeah, c’mon we have to stop Dawn and Dusk from harming the Goddess,” Hurricane said.

“I hate their guts, y’know,” Ninja groaned.

“You’re not the only one,” Hurricane answered back.

He and his two comrades left the Hawaiian Islands.

Chapter Nine

“I have found her!” Dusk said as they traveled the sky making a long black line cut the light blue sky.

“We can’t go there, we must attack some other time, that world smells of light.”

“True, shall we watch her?”

“We should. We have to watch them until they leave that world.”

“Okay, I’ll find Destiny Island in the mean time you watch the Goddess and tell me if she does anything.”

“I understand,” Dawn said. He and his mate shared command. Neither was greater than the other.

Dawn watched from his position in space, Disney Castle had too much light for them to even step on it, if they did they’d be burned, and not even their ability to heal can remove the scars.

Dawn turned to watch Dusk leave, she made the darkness of space seem almost blue as she flew with great speed to find the Goddess’ true home.

Riku and Mai: Trying
Chapter Ten

“So what’s this about?” Riku asked Mickey.

“I want you and Mai to investigate your world further,” Mickey said.

“Why?”

“I think that your world is most important, Destiny Island has a lot of light and if the nights are darker than what they should be there is a problem. Do you know where the Keyhole is?”

“Yeah,” Riku nodded.

“Okay, go there and see if anything is wrong.”

“Okay,” Riku nodded.

“I’ll summon you if I need you,” Mickey grinned.

“I’ll get Mai.” Riku ran back to the room and told Mai. Mai frowned.

“One thing after another. So what? We’re going to examine our world?” Mai said.

“Yeah,” Riku nodded.

“Okay,” Mai got dressed and grinned at Riku, “You still owe me,” she said.

“I don’t owe you nothing, I won’t put you in harm’s way, not this early,” Riku narrowed his eyes behind his silver bang that flowed pass his ice blue eyes. He shook his head. “There’s nothing you can do,” Riku smirked.

“I couldn’t tell,” Mai pulled up her pants, “You seemed pretty interested a while back.”

Riku frowned, “Only a bump in the road.”

“Fine,” Mai rolled her eyes.

Riku and Mai collected Benjie and went to the King. The King de-summoned them and they were back home. Riku sighed; the sun was still in the sky. He and Mai had the whole day to themselves… Riku had to get away from her.

Riku went to the kitchen and started cooking. He made a meal big enough for six people so that way if they wanted they each could have three plates of food. Riku was glad Mai didn’t bother him while he cooked.

Mai stared at her food. Riku smirked, ‘Mood-swinger,’ he shook his head.

“Riku, does the woman really go through… pain?” she looked up from her plate and looked at him.

Riku placed his fork down and crossed his arms, leaning back in the chair. “So that’s what’s going on in that head of your’s,” he chuckled.

“Riku…”

“Mai, the woman goes through so much pain that it’s said to be the worse pain ever, it’s the ultimate pain some say. And I must tell you that that’s the only reason why I won’t let you have a child.”

Mai looked at her food again. She picked up the fork, she toyed with her food for a while and then asked another question, “So you still love me?”

“Of- of course! Why would you think that?” Riku asked filled with a load of shock.

“It’s… it’s just… you and I haven’t… you know… in a long time… months…”

Riku sighed, “Mai, I told you on Valentine’s day that you won’t have a part of me until we got married. And I told you that I wasn’t going to get you pregnant anytime soon when we got married.”

Mai sighed, “Are you sure?”

“Mai stop it, I love you, I won’t be married to you if I didn’t,” Riku said a little louder.

“True, who could love a mood-swinger like me, whom is stubborn and so picky?” Mai grinned.

“Mai,” Riku groaned, “Look, I don’t want you to think things like that ever again.”

Mai nodded, “Alright,” she tried to grin.

“What now?” Riku could tell she was thinking of something else.

“I… I feel a strange… vibe… it’s from my world,” she looked up and peered out the open, large window.

Riku followed her gaze and their eyes saw two tall figures staring down at them with golden eyes. They were dark skinned and they were very beautiful but they were evil and dark with black power. They both slowly rose from their chairs, Riku and Mai, and summoned their blades.

“Who are you?!” Mai yelled.

“Goddess,” they bowed.

Mai looked in confusion. Then she softened her face. “What do you want?”

“We’re here to kill you, you and your mate.” The male answered. “Excuse me, I’m Dawn and this is Dusk, my mate.” He seemed so polite yet he was stinking with evil.

Mai barred her teeth. Riku stepped forward, “I don’t know what’s going on here but I won’t go down easily.” Riku said. “Get lost, I’m not in the mood today.”

“Then die, for we are in the mood to kill you.” The female said.

Riku braced himself for impact. He and Mai waited but no attack came.

“It seems that you have great power,” Dawn said. He only stood there with his eyes closed.

Mai and Riku shared a look of confusion. ‘What the heck is up with these two?’ Riku thought. Riku’s eyebrow rose when the two tall mysterious people summoned Keyblades. They were much larger than the ones Mai and Riku had, they were also older looking, they looked like they were made hundreds of years ago.

They attacked. Riku and Mai braced themselves and countered. Mai faced off with Dawn and Riku with Dusk.

Riku noticed that Dusk was slow, with her lean body Riku thought she’d be faster but she was no faster than Mai. She moved slower as the fight went on. Riku swung his blade missing Dusk’s head by seconds. Riku pulled the blade the other way and still missed. Dusk, either she could read minds or she was just that skilled, dodged each attack.

Riku narrowed his eyes as he studied her. ‘Can you read minds?’ he thought as he started to attack her again. Riku went to stab her and instead cut her arm, some blood dripped out but she was unaffected by the small injury.

Mai twirled out of the way as Dawn tried to stab her in the chest. Mai jumped out with a back-flip as he tried to swing his blade across her body. Mai summoned Oblivion and she crossed her blades and from them came a bright light with a dark aura. They mixed together and then they were shot at Dawn. Dawn was caught in the attack that he had never seen before. Mai was right behind the fired attack. She stabbed her blades into Dawn but then realized she had missed.

Mai back-flipped away from Dawn, he swung his blade frantically back and forth with deadly force so she had to retreat.

Mai was next to Riku, their shoulders touched, they each were still facing their enemy. Mai frowned, this wasn’t a hard fight but it was getting annoying.

Riku looked at Mai and they nodded.

Together they preformed Eternal Session.

Dawn and Dusk were gone once the light faded.

“That was odd,” Mai said.

“I’ll say,” Riku de-summoned his blade and relaxed his tense body that was ready for battle. “Who were they? Do you know?”

“No,” Mai shook her head, “I honestly have no idea who they are. I don’t know why they want to kill me or you but we gotta keep our guard up.”

Riku rolled his eyes, “I’m married to you for a month and trouble starts up again. You’re a trouble magnet.”

Mai rolled her eyes, “Whatever.”

* * *

“We can’t fight them, not together.” Dawn said shaking his head, he held his arm and waited for it to heal, it was healing slower than what it should. ‘Stupid light-dweller.’ He groaned.

“I can see that,” Dusk said holding her wound, their wounds were healing too slowly. “Maybe we should explain to her why we are killing her. She might understand and give up.”

“How foolish of you to think such a thing, she won’t give up easily. The King said so.”

“Ah, true, but who’s to say that she won’t give up. We could always lie to her.”

“She’s the Goddess, she will learn soon as to why we attacked her but I will see if I can talk to her. I highly doubt. But at least I have her hair, we can go on that world stinking with light if we want if she goes there again.”

Dusk nodded her head, “I see, so we shall visit her again?”

“Hopefully,” Dawn looked down at his wound, it had healed but the floor was covered with blood. Standing from the floor Dawn sighed, “We should watch out for those Lightons.”

“Yes, they always have a way of getting into our business.”

“Love, I have an idea!” Dawn said.

“What?” Dusk asked.

“I’ll explain as we get to the Goddess.”

* * *

“Okay, so what about those movies?” Mai asked. “You’re going to watch with me right?”

Riku groaned.

Mai groaned too but she held Riku’s hand with more anger.

“I’m not going to watch,” Riku said. “You can’t make me,” Riku shook his head.

“Then I’m not watching!”

“Yes you are.”

“No, I’m not!”

“Yes, you are.”

“NO, I’M NOT! You’re going to watch it too no matter what!”

“You’re going to watch it if you want a child.” Riku threw back

Mai narrowed her eyes, “Don’t yell at me! And don’t argue! If you want me to watch this you’re going to watch it with me!” Mai throws back and frowns. (A/N: Um… Mai, Riku didn’t yell that time.)

Riku groaned again. “Alright… alright, I’ll watch it.” Riku said.

Mai narrowed her eyes but relaxed her face, “Okay, fine,” Mai turned to the T. V. and stared at it for a second. She held the remote in her hand and sighed. She pressed the play button and sat next to Riku.

Sitting in their room they had a large screen TV but it was far off. It hung from the ceiling. Mai and Riku sat in the bed. Riku had his ankles crossed and his arm around Mai’s waist. He had his eyes closed for a few seconds but Mai didn’t notice.

The film started. At first Mai was completely comfortable. Nothing that she didn’t already expect. A perfectly round belly and a few signs, that she knew about. Mai then watched at the happy scene of the father and the mother rubbing the child through the skin changed to a scene to a hospital bed and a woman screaming in pain.

“The pain was more than I ever imaged.” Kate answered.

The narrator’s face wasn’t shown but his voice was there. The woman, Kate, smiled at him. “So, can you describe the pain? Was it like what you’re parents told you?”

“No, they forgot to tell me that I’d be in so much pain that I could break my husband’s hand and ears.” She giggled, and then went to a serious tone, “But in all honestly, no pain that I’ve ever experienced is worse than giving birth. I broke a leg one time, that was nothing, I had my nose broken, and that was like a poke compared to the labor. And one time I was burned, my skin fell off, and yet I’d rather do that than give birth again.”

“So are you saying that you’re not happy you’re a mother?”

“No, I’d gladly be a mother again but… I’d rather have no pain,” Kate answered.

The narrator chuckled, “Of course,” he said.
Mai swallowed. She stopped the film it was on the credits right now and turned to Riku. They had already shown the birth, while Kate was talking. Mai’s eyes almost fell out, her jaw almost broke off from the rest of her head. And her eyes were almost swollen from tears. She had no idea that she would bleed that much.

“Do you see now?” Riku asked softly. So softly Mai couldn’t get angry at him.

Mai blinked and tears streamed down her face… “Yes… but… I still… I still want a child!” she yelled out.

“I knew you would.” Riku shook his head. “But do you understand?”

“Yeah, I understand,” Mai sighed. Mai wiped her years, the shock may have been over but the pictures were still engraved into her mind. Then thinking of the time she looked out the window then lowered her eyes.

Chapter Eleven

Mai lifted her eyes, “Riku, they were here to kill me… but I think they have a connection with the darker nights.”

Riku closed the window, “You might have a point, their darkness was eerie, and it was the darkest I’ve seen in a long while…”

Mai stared at him, it was odd for him to stop like that. Mai wondered what was on his mind. “Riku?”

“Sorry, um… Mai, we gotta tell Mickey,” Riku said shaking his head.

“You’re right,” Mai collected her sleeping dog in her arms and turned back to Riku, “Ask him to summon us,” Mai said.

“Sure,” Riku called Mickey and Mickey summoned them in a few minutes.

When they appeared in their room that they were last in Riku then figured that it was Mickey’s way of saying Mai should stay in the room.

“Mai, Mickey only wants to talk to me,” Riku told her. Mai placed Benjie down, Benjie stayed close to her feet. He was still shaken.

“Okay,” Mai said nodding. Mai went to the bed and sat there. Benjie sat in front of her. He looked up to her with concerned eyes. “It’s okay Benjie, we’re safe now, you don’t have to worry about me.”

‘But…’ he whined. ‘Mommy…’

Mai sighed, “I’ll never have a child at this rate.”

“Goddess,” a voice said.

Mai quickly summoned her blade and jumped back ready for an attack. “You again?!”

“We are not here to fight Goddess,” Dawn bowed. He stepped in the room from the window, Dusk right behind him.

Mai swallowed. “What do you want?”

“Goddess, we are here to kill you because you have committed a double crime against Heart Haven.”

“What crime was that?”

“You have killed the King and Queen and you are living with Humans.” Dusk answered.

Mai frowned, she kept her blades in her hands. “If I’m the Goddess I command you to stand down.”

Dawn laughed, “That can’t work on us because we are commanded by the first one whom commanded us until our job is done.”

Mai swallowed. “So… so what are you?”

“Darklings, we are those of the dark,” Dusk answered.

Mai pressed her lips into a fine line, “So, Darklings still exist?”

“As do Keyblades continue to exist we exist.”

Mai bit her lip. “So… why aren’t trying to kill me now?”

“Because we have others to deal with. Besides that, Goddess, we have a question about your comment.”

“Comment?”

“Yes, you want a child?”

“What’s it to you Dusk?” Mai narrowed her eyes

“Anyone from Heart Haven can’t have children.”

“But… what about the first Ikari?!” Mai asked in panic and shock.

“She was an exception, she was different from what we really are,” Dawn answered.

Mai swallowed. ‘That… that can’t be…’ Mai shook her head, “I don’t believe you!”

“Well, Goddess we must go, sorry for the bad news,” Dusk and Dawn soon after vanished.

Mai’s heart raced. She could only wonder what was going on. Mai felt cold the room started to spin and Benjie’s barks were soon over powered by the sound of her heart. Mai soon after lost her vision and collapsed.

Chapter Twelve

Mai woke, she could hear Benjie whining. Mai wondered what happened. Mai fluttered her eyes open as she gazed around. When she gained her sight she saw Riku, Mickey, Minnie, Chip and Dale looking down on her.

Mai held her head as she sat up.

“Are you okay?” Riku was the first to ask. “We found you on the floor.”

Mai looked at him, “Um… yeah, I’m fine, I don’t remember why I passed out though,” Mai answered after a second or two had passed.

Riku sighed, “Okay, at least I can believe you,” Riku looked at Mickey, he grinned. “So, Mickey when do we leave?”

“Soon,” Mickey answered.

“On a mission?” Mai asked.

“Yeah,” Riku grinned at her, but his grin was filled with nothing but concern.

“Okay, and I guess I’m not going,” Mai said.

“Yup, you’re staying here, you’ll be here until I get back.”

Mai rolled her eyes. “Fine.”

Minnie kissed Mai on hand and left, she was followed by Chip and Dale. Mickey waved to Mai and Riku followed Mickey out. Mai then realized that Benjie was at her side.

“Benjie,” Mai called his attention when the others were gone, “Mommy has to go somewhere, stay here okay?”

‘Okay,’ he said with a cheerful voice.

Mai got out of bed and opened a corridor. Mai was in Heart Haven in seconds.

Mai’s clothes weren’t what they were when she was in the Human realm her clothes were now silver. Her world was livelier now, the world had plants and rivers and lakes. Mai walked to the castle and was greeted by Nobodies bowing, stopping in their tracks to bow to her and greet her. Mai hated the treatment but they never listened to her when it came to treating her as if she was equal to them.

Mai walked to the library. There she was greeted by two familiar faces.

“What brings the Goddess here?” Saix said rising from his bow.

“Hey, Saix, hey Axel, I need your help.”

Saix raised his eyebrow, “About what?”

“And why?” Axel asked biting into an apple.

“Don’t worry about why, Mr. Cocky, Saix?”

“Well, I think I can help you with that. The king kept many books and files from you and the others.”

“Hm… that jerk was a busy bee.”

“I’ll say, you should see the food that he had stored up that he had from the Human realm,” Axel said. Saix led them to the desk.

“Here are the books on Emo-trollers and pregnancy.”

“You’re trying to get busy?” Axel asked.

“Shut up before I kill you,” Mai said with a groan in her voice. Mai looked at Saix with softer eyes. “Are these the only books?” she placed her hand on the small stack.

“From what we’ve been able to organize,” Saix answered.

“You call this organized?” Mai was referring to the mass of books all over the place, this large room was filled with books, it was like walking into a small narrow hall. The books were stacked high here and there and some stacks were so close to each other that it was almost impossible to walk without bumping into a stack. Luckily nothing fell.

“Where’s Ansem and Xion?” Mai asked.

“They’re taking care of other business,” Axel answered. He finished his apple and threw it away.

“Okay, Saix, I need you and Axel to-”

“See ya, doll!” Axel made a sharp about-face and started to walk off.

Mai grabbed his hood and pulled him back, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re going to help me look through these books.”

“Oh, darn,” Axel snapped his fingers and folded his arms.

Hours had passed, but in the Human realm only a few minutes or so had passed.

Mai sighed, she had to head back. She couldn’t leave Benjie alone for too long. Mai nodded to Axel and Saix. “Keep reading I’ll be back when I can.”

“Understood, good-bye.” Saix nodded his head again and went back to reading.

Mai left Heart Haven and sighed as Benjie ran back to her. She could only hope that Saix and Axel would find something by the time she had time to get back.

Riku and Mai: Trying
Chapter Thirteen

Mai slammed her fist into the wall. Her anger was coming out. On top of that she couldn’t get over that one little thought.

‘I can’t get pregnant!’

Mai felt sick… ‘Not now, not again!’ she hated it. Ever since she came back she would vomit and she would do this three or four times each week. It was taking over her.

Mai ran to the bathroom and threw up into the toilet. She knew it was because she actually didn’t belong in the Human realm but she had been there long enough for her body to adjust, so why didn’t it?

Mai threw up again. Benjie being locked out scratched his nails on the door frantically. Mai threw up into the toilet again.

‘How will I tell Riku?’ Mai thought as she threw up once more. She flushed the toilet and slowly rose until she had gotten to the sink. She washed her face and then drunk water. Her throat was burning. ‘Riku… if this is true… Riku can’t be a father…’

‘Mommy!’ Benjie was calling for her with more urgency. ‘Mommy, Mommy!’

Mai opened the door and stepped out, “I’m fine Benjie, Mommy’s fine,” she then realized that Benjie wasn’t at the door, instead he was in front of the door as if he was protecting it. Mai followed his gaze and in her room stood three people. They had the same smell as Dusk and Dawn. Mai quickly summoned her blade but before she could attack they bowed.

“Goddess,” the male said. “We’re here to help you.”

[TwilightRiku_13]

Holy cow, things are getting really crazy now. So, now we have Ninja, Hurricane, and Tundra. I really like the name Tundra; it reminds me of snow, and I love snow. Man, I know that you have only just introduced Dusk and Dawn, but they are already starting to piss me off. I hope they were lying about Mai not being able to get pregnant; I will be really upset if they were telling the truth. Also, I really liked the part with Mai and Riku watching the birthing tape; that was funny to me. Anyway, great job again, and I look forward to more.

[varsha]

Talk about tense.

[oathkeeper100]

Wow. I'm starting to get ticked off with Dawn and Dusk too. How could they say that, and Mai is really beating herself up about it. Hang in there, Mai!
~Can't wait for more :)

Really good!!

Hey guys, last chapter of this part of the story! Yay! I hope you like it!

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?”
