Part Four

Back at the dark castle, EmLynn looks out a window in a different room, this room is her room. Everything was a dark color, a canopy bed with black curtains and blood red pillows. A vanity table sat just aside the bed with her brushes and make-up with a jewelry box just to the side. Black and red curtains hung open in the windows, being blown by the wind. There was also a statue of Kallima, Goddess of Death and Destruction on the opposite side of the room EmLynn stood at. At the end of the statue there was a bowl surrounded by skulls, and thick red blood was filled in the bowl. EmLynn heard the bang of a door and closed her hand into a fist stopping the storm. "Sister dear." She heard her brother say from the doorway of her room. "Guess what I've brought you?"

Not turning to face her brother she leaned against the window sill. "You've brought me that beautiful white-mage warrior." She guessed then turning to her brother and looked in disguise at who he had with him.

Lotus had a fat man with a blind fold over his eyes. "Where am I?" He asked moving his hands around. "You promised me beautiful women." He then said greedily. The fat man lifted one side of the blind fold and caught a glimpse of EmLynn and threw the blind fold off. "Wow you brought me is really a beautiful one." He said charging at EmLynn.

"ICK!" EmLynn raised her foot and the fatman ran right into it. "Get away from me you fat pig!" EmLynn insulted, pushing him away with her foot. "Lotus!!" She yelled snapping her head towards her brother. "What is the meaning of this?! Bringing me this fat pig!"

"Now that's no way to talk to daddy, lover." The man puckered up his lips and started reaching for EmLynn. She pushed him away again with her foot.

"EmLynn..." Lotus eyeing EmLynn. "I brought this man only because he know where the kingdom of Lynns is."

EmLynn stood happy for a moment until the man finally got her and gave her a big smooch. EmLynn’s face turned back to disgusted, only worse this time. She finally pulled herself off of him and hit him with a small lighting bolt, turning his face black. Although he was probably so happy he probably didn't fell a thing.

"Lotus! Do something! Get this man away from me!!" EmLynn screamed running away from the fat man.

Lotus let EmLynn run by him, but when the man came Lotus raised up his arm knocking the man down. EmLynn was against a wall behind Lotus gripping onto a curtain. Lotus kneeled down to the man, he smacks the man a couple of times before bringing him back to reality. "I said you'd get women, but that didn't include my sister."

"My apologies." The man said then tried to get up.

"Oh no!" Lotus warned putting his arm on the mans chest slamming him back down. "First you tell me where the kingdom is located."

"Oh yes. That." The fat man remembered. "The kingdom is located south of Japan, surrounded by mountains and an on-going storm. That's what the magic holders did to protect evil from their island. Now... where's those ladies you promised?"

"Sorry little man... I didn't promise, I only said." Lotus replied with an evil grin. The man looked confused and scared at the same time. Lotus laughed. "Of course I promised, right this way." He helped the man up and an evil smile spread across EmLynn's face.

Lotus leads the man down a lot of stairs into a dark room that Lotus had to carry a torch to be able to see. At the bottom of the stairs there was a big metal door. Lotus opened the big door and gestured the man to enter. "OH-" Lotus hands the man the torch. "Don't forget this."

The man bows then enters the room. Lotus shuts the door behind him and locks it. When everything went silent again he continued to walk. "Come out pretty ladies." He sang. Suddenly red beady eyes started to poop open throughout the entire room. The man stared in shock for a moment. "What's going on?" He silently asked.

"Come to me darling." An old rusty voice said. The man held his torch higher, then a slender figured woman stepped into the lights view. With an old torn dress and an old sash over her face. "Come to me." She said again holding out her hands, that's when the man saw her old wrinkled up hands.

Shocked, he turned to the direction of the door. Only another woman blocked his path, this time his face was closer to 'it's' face. The woman had old dried up skin, fallen out hair, beady eyes, and long grown out teeth that stuck out from her mouth. She gripped his face tightly. "You shall never leave." She knocked the torch out of his hand.

Mingi, Jun, and Kannuki reached a near by village from the bridge that Kannuki was a so-called guarding. "What village is this?" Mingi asked Kannuki keeping her head low.

"It's Kun-chi." Kannuki smarted.

Mingi then grabbed hold of his ear. "Smart at me, eh?" Kannuki and Mingi continued to argue at each other as they walked into the village.

Jun had asked Mingi if they could go eat at this restaurant she thought looked interesting. Mingi agreed, when they stepped into the restau a girl with shinny blew hair, fair skin, and pretty dark yellow eyes greeted them. "Hello, my name is Niniane. Follow me and I'll show you to your table." Niniane led them to a table where they sat as she handed them menus. "Please choose what you would like to eat. Our lunch special today is, uh... Chicken soup with garlic bread." She said quite strangely.

"Hm, I would like, dumplings, duck, chicken and potatoes...with rice of course..." Mingi then hit Kannuki upside the head with Niniane's tray. "Ow! What did you do that for!?!" Kannuki yelled at Mingi.

"I'm not paying for your food." Mingi handed the tray back to Niniane.

"I live for food for--" Mingi covered his mouth before he could finish.

"He'll have chicken and potato soup with rice." Mingi said while Kannuki's screamed mumbles. Jun and Mingi also ordered their food.

Niniane walked up to the chef and handed him the paper with the orders on it. She walked up to her friend Mitsuo. "Hey, Mitsuo." Niniane smiled as she leaned against the wall next to her friend.

"Hi, Niniane." She rubbed her temples. "I have such a headache." She then brushed her black hair from her face and stared at Niniane with her emerald green eyes.

"Did you get to check out that new guy in town?" Niniane asked excited.

"No, what does he look like?" Mitsuo changed her position leaning her shoulder against the wall.

"Well, he's got nice golden hair, and his eyes are so wonderful and almost mysterious... I like that in a guy." Niniane sighed.

"You almost sound like you're in love." Mitsuo smirked.

"Maybe I've actually found the right guy this time, Mitsuo." Niniane smiled folding her arms across her chest. "He looks like one of those kind of guys you can only dream about, am I right?"

Mitsuo giggled. "I feel as though I don't even know you. I mean, here you are talking to me about this guy I haven't even seen yet, and you're slowly drifting off to wonderland."

Niniane let out a sigh. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I should be worrying about bigger problems then guys."

The chef then rang the bell for the food to be brought to it tables. "That's not you, Niniane." Mitsuo started as she walked toward the chefs window to get the food. "Your head is always in a cloud, yet you still know what you are doing."

Niniane smiled and followed Mitsuo to the window and got the food for the tables she worked at. A man walked into the restau, a warrior like man. Muscular, with golden hair, and light blue eyes. "Excuse me?" He asked, referring to Niniane who was facing her back to him.

"Just one moment please." He held up her hand for him to wait with out facing him as she jotted down some more orders.

The man waited patiently as Niniane took the peoples orders. She then finally turned to the man, for only a second she looked shocked at him. "Uh...uh... hello." She smiled sheepishly and a bit nervous. Niniane looked around the restau and found the last empty table in the restau. "Follow me, sir." As they walked to the table in a corner of the restau she pulled out a menu from a stand. He sat down at the table and Niniane handed him the menu. The chef rang the bell. "Oh, please take your time, I'll be right back."

When Niniane left Mitsuo walked up to the man. "May I take your order?" Mitsuo asked. The man looked at her strangely. "Sorry, I've been wanting to say that all day."

The man only shook his head and ordered his food. Mitsuo walked away passing Niniane. Of course Niniane was on her way to the table when a man grabbed her by the waste and pulled her onto his lap. "Hey, let go of me!"

The man was ugly, fat and his breath smelled of beer. Niniane of course knew this man since she was a child. He was always considered a friend, 'til just a couple of years ago he transformed into nothing but a pervert. "Come on, Niniane. Maybe sometime we can get together and snuggle." He rubbed his unshaved face against hers.

Niniane made a disgusted face. "You're drunk. Besides I wouldn't even dream of being that close to you. Not to mention you're fat!!!" Niniane insulted.

"You're close to me now." He smiled ignoring her insult and wrapping his arms tightly around her.

"Don't make me hurt you." Niniane warned.

"I've known you for years. You can't hurt me."

"Oh, yeah." Niniane smiled. She then brought her leg up and kicked him in the face. He let go of her and she jumped away from him. "Ewww. Now look what you did you big oaf. I smell like you, a dirty pig."

"Now you're gonna get it." He warned her, removing his hand from his face, revealing the big red mark that Niniane left. He started to charge at her, as he came close enough she put her hands on his shoulders and jumped behind him. Where he then ran into a wall and got knocked out cold.

Mitsuo walked up to Niniane and patted he on the back. "Good job."

"Thanks, Mitsuo." Niniane smiled. "It was just to easy."
