Lily229

hey guys, wow it's been a REALLY long time since I updated this. Let me fill you in on somethings. Ok first, I don't know if this is going to continue straight through really I just had a burst of creativity. I've been writing for the past hour or so and have written 3 pages on Word. Another thing is Lily's Mod Staff has changed from before, it's now just a thin piece of black metal that can break in half and become a fan. Sorry about that but I had more ideas with it instead of what I had in the last chapter. One final thing, my computer has been acting really funny now so I don't want to lose what I've done so here is HALF of the next chapter. I will write more of it whenever I can but so not as to lose what I do have I'm posting it now. Plus where I've left off is kind of suspensful ^_^. Thanks everyone for being so patient. Oh and another problem with my computer, it's not letting my spell checker work so it might be really bad and I'm to tired to go back through and proof read it so deal with it XD

Chapter 23

Daisuke found himself standing in the bright white vortex.

This….This is where my last dream left off, he thought looking around in the white nothingness.

But it was different, before him, with her back turned to him, stood the frame of Lily. She turned slowly, tears fell gently from her eyes as her long brown hair kissed her cheeks as she turned. “Daisuke…” she hoarsly whispered.

“Lily!” Daisuke cried running for her. This time she stayed where she was and the distance seemed to melt between them. He reached out his hand for her as she did hers. The tips of their fingers touched but something else was there, a barrier between them.

“A barrier?” Daisuke whispered trying to push past it an embrace Lily. He looked at the ground trying to push past oncoming tears.“It’s so paper thin…I can feel your warmth but I can’t embrace you.”

“Help me, Daisuke. It hurts so much.”

“Huh?” Before his eyes Lily stood in a cosuming black puddle that swirled slowly up her body. Her body jolted from the pain but her fingertips never left his.

“Lily!” Daisuke threw back the covers of his bed. He looked down at the palms of his hands, they felt so warm as if her touch had been real. He grabbed his head in frustration. “Damn, what do these dreams mean?!”
He had this burning urge to see her. He jumped up from his bed and made a quick pace for her door. He knocked softly but didn’t wait for a reply before opening the door slightly. He saw her sitting up in bed, stretching. She yawned and looked over at him.

“Mornin’.”

He didn’t return the greeting, he had to get this feeling off of his chest. He walked in further and leaned on the door looking off to the side. “I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said to me and I realize, you’re right. I don’t give you enough support or credit. Let me make it up to you somehow.”

Lily stared at him and cocked her head to the side. “You don’t have to do that Dai…”

“I want to,” he replied quickly. He took a deep breath to calm himself. “Please.”

Lily leaned back against her headboard and looked up at the ceiling for inspiration. “Well I suppose you could take me to dinner. Tonight at five…..”

“My shift is at five,” he replied quickly again. He stole a glance at her then moved his eyes back to the floor. “No, I’ll get someone else to do it, five sounds fine.”

Lily cracked her knuckles and placed them behind her head. “Sounds good, can’t wait.”

Daisuke gripped onto the door handle and quietly closed the door. He pressed his back to the closed down and ran his fingers through his damp hair. “I need a vacation.”

Lily let out a loud sigh that she had been holding in. “What am I ever going to do with that man?”

“Will you focus?” cried a booming voice from the window.

Lily jumped up in surprise and toppled over the edge of the bed. She slapped a hand on top of the bed and pulled herself up. In front of her, ontop of her windowsill sat a plump looking rabbit. “Ro..Roots?! What are you doing here and scaring the crap out of me, what’s wrong with you?!”

Roots hoped down onto the carpeted floor and growled at her. “That’s not important, what is important is those two women that were at the tournament.”

“Yeah it was pretty weird to be up on the roof like that,” Lily rocked back and forth gently on her bottom. She grabbed her feet to keep her steady as she pondered. “I know NL is pretty big but they didn’t look like regular members.”

“Lily, I got a bad feeling about them.”

Across the way Sakura was awaking. She didn’t even remember falling asleep but she noticed her party dress was still on. She rolled out of bed and began to change her clothes. “A nice hot shower would be the perfect ending to a fun night like that,” she said with a giggle. “Hmm?” She turned slowly as Roots began ramming his head slightly against the back of her leg. “What is it Roots? Are you hungry?”

Roots shook his head violently and jumped onto the window’s edge. He jumped down onto the sidewalk and stared up at Sakura as if expecting her to follow.

“Roots? What’s wrong?” She turned quickly and quickly put on clothes. She leaned out the window again to see Roots beginning to trot away. “Hey wait!” she called as she slid down the drain pipe and chased after him deep into the heart of the city.

“How can you get a bad feeling from people you just got a wiff of?” asked Lily fidling with a few trickets on her dresser.

Roots nodded. “I got a gut feeling about them. They way they looked down at you, something’s up. You had better watch your back until you get this bracelet thing figured out.”

“Yeah…” Lily held up her hand and shook it to jingle the charms. “I wish I could remove it, I tried but it just materializes back on my wrist.”

“Do you think it was the bracelet they had their eye on?”

Lily starred silently at the jingling black and white flower petal charms. “Man I hope so, if they can get it off then let them have it.”

“Lily I don’t think giving that bracelet to just anyone is a good idea, we don’t even know what it is.”
