| Title: Of Past and Present Author: Kitsune Spirit Warnings: Sap, confusion, Romance, G Part 23 ~what does it all mean~ �Guys, what�s going on?� Ennvie asked, they were both staring at each other as if in a trance. �Who�s Kala-nesh? Who�s Zesian?�Guys? GUYS!� Kara snapped at them pulling them out of the trance they seemed to be in. Kalen looked at Zechs, taking in his appearance. /It couldn�t be�but how?/ Zechs was thinking pretty much the same. /This is to weird/. �Kalen?� Zechs called, his hand coming up to trace the lines of his lovers� face. �How?� Kalen asked, his own hands fingering the ties holding Zechs�s hair. �I� I�ve been having these dreams,� he whispered as the moved to sit on the sofa, Ennvie and Kara still looking confused. �You had them to?� Kalen asked, he was seriously bewildered. /What the hell is going on?/ �Yeah, they, they were lovers in ancient Japan, one a priest�� �The other a mercenary,� Kalen finished for him. �What does this mean?� Zechs asked, whilst Kalen couldn�t believe it. When he�d laid eyes on Zechs he thought he was seeing Zesian�s ghost, the only real difference was the height and hair colouring because of the streaks, and that of course Zechs was English. Zechs had been thinking the same. �I don�t know, I had these dreams and they stopped late last week, I decided to go as Zesian to the carnival. I felt drawn to him. Same as you did to Kala-nesh I guess.� Kalen nodded still freaked out. �I wonder how�why we dreamt the same�do you think it has some meaning?� �I don�t know Kalen�maybe they were past relatives or something I have no idea�� he was stopped by Kara's whine. �GUYYYYSSSSSSS, what�s going on!� �Nothing Kara, we� we�ve just gone as the characters from the dreams we�ve been having, the same dreams at that.� Kara looked at them, �I wondered where you got the ideas for these cool outfits from,� she grinned. �So who were these guys?� Zechs looked at Kalen, not sure whether he should tell them but at Kalen�s nod he did. �They were lovers many years ago, Zesian was murdered and Kala-nesh killed himself to be with him.� �That�s so sweet if morbid. Wow! Totally true love� Ennvie smiled sadly, Kara hugging her. �Wow, that�s weird dreaming the same though, any connection?� �We�ve no idea, we�re just as confused as you two�. Zechs looked between them standing up, �We can talk about this later, we gotta meet the others. I wanna enjoy myself tonight, we can light candles for them whilst we�re there, show our respect.� Kalen nodded standing up, �Good idea, koi.� He slipped his hand into Zechs� and motioned to the girls. /I�m still not happy about not knowing everything/ he thought as they left the house. Meeting with Lav and Kisei before they knocked. �Wow, looking cool guys,� Lav greeted, his ears twitching as he scratched at them. �Ya know I�m still not use to this, my tail keeps getting caught on things�. Kisei laughed patting his tail. �It�s cute koi, you�ll get use to it. Kisei and Lav, had come as gothic youkos, they looked irresistible if not quite evil, tails swaying in the soft breeze. �MIAOW� was screeched from a bush, then giggling as everyone jumped back. �Hey guys,� Lexi giggled in greeting. �Wow guys you look great.� Noticing Ke-ror-ri was still in the bushes, she turned round, her fake fur tail swinging with the motion. �Ke-ror-ri Jacques Mortimus get your butt out of here before I have to come in there.� She pouted stamping her foot, soft mewing coming from the bushes. �Lexiiiiiiiiiiii,� came the whine �do I have to?� �YES, now move it�. Slowly the bushes rattled as Ke emerged from them, the distinct sound of a bell reaching their ears. �Wow bro, looking cool,� Zechs grinned, giggling at his brother�s discomfort. �Shut up Zechs, it�s not funny.� Ke-ror-ri had his knee-length red hair down, two braids at the side barely keeping it from falling over his eyes. On his head lay two furred red ears, slightly large giving him the convenient �neko� look Lexi had wanted. Swinging from between his legs was a long furred red tail attached to the belt of his leather trousers, painted whiskers adorned his face; a collar with a bell around his neck, a tight black shirt finished his costume. �Now that�s what I call a cute, Neko,� Kara giggled, earning her a pout from Ke-ror-ri. �If I get meowed at once more from people on the streets, or asked if I want some milk I�ll flip�. He sulked as Lexi slid next to him and hugged him. �Ignore them sweetheart, you look cute�. She made a purring sound and rubbed her face against his, careful to not smudge Ke�s makeup. Lexi herself was adorned with black furred ears and tail, gloves with false little claws, and a tight catsuit looking outfit. She looked like a naughty vixen more than a sweet neko but it got Ke to go with her. Around her right wrist was a leash; only now the others noticed it was attached to Ke�s collar. �Someone�s been a bad neko,� Zechs giggled, laughing as his brother who hissed at him. �Keep trying, bro,� he smirked as they walked from the house into the town to reach the carnival. They consisted of two nekos, two vixens, two youkos and two extremely confused guys who looked like the men from their dreams. They didn�t think things could get any more confusing. Or interesting that night� |
