Across The Stars

Chapter 11: Car-cramming, party, the other me...is me...isn't...another person, the last...reality?

 

~The...fake realm Kim...>.> yea, you'll see?~

"Won't people freak out a bit..."

"Shhh!"

"You shh!"

"You first!"

"Shut up, mates!"

"Don't tell her to shut up!"

"I'm sorry, mate...be quiet, lasses!"

"Will everyone just shut their fucking mouths?" I asked. The other me coughed,"Um...yea, aye, what she said..."

"But seriously...won't people freak out a bit?" my Max repeated,"I'm married to a freakin' dog!"

"Hey!" InuYasha said. "I love you..." my Max said innocently, kissing him. "Er, yea okay..." InuYasha mumbled stupidly. The other Max's boyfriend, Jake, smirked and held tightly onto his Max's hand. We were all sitting in the other me's car, crammed in. It was interesting...somehow, the other me had managed to fit in the front seat, driving, with Jonathon next to her, me next to Jon, and Seto next to me. That left the two Meg's, two Sarah's, Will, Mayank, Jack, Online Jack personage in the back seat. My Max was sitting on top of my Meg and Sarah with InuYasha sort of...crammed on the floor. And the other Max was...sitting on Jake who was...half sitting on the back seat floor of the car. It would've been humorous if I wasn't in the car with a lack of oxygen.

I rolled down the window on my side, reaching over Seto. He kissed me below my ear and whispered,"Whatever happens..." I looked at him and whispered, finishing his sentence,"I love you too..." But I was still freaked. I wanted my children, I wanted them safe...somehow, again, they weren't with us. InuYasha had explained that they were not in this..."real" realm so that had to go back. And...go back they did, with no explanation... Now, I just wanted safety and normal things around me. I wanted my small family and tight group of friends to not live through this confusion.

"So, mates..." Jack S. said.

"Aye?" Jack said.

"Do ye think ye're a pirate, mate?"

"Um...nay?"

"Ye're an annoying twerp, ye are, mate."

"Aye, he is..." Meg spoke up...the...other Meg.

"Hey!" Jack said (not Jack Sparrow).

The other Meg kissed her Jack to shut him up. He didn't complain much after that.

"So...seriously...mates," the other me said, smirking slightly, then continuing,"What's the plan?"

"We had a plan?" Someone said.

"I thought we'd just walk in..."

"Possibly drink a few...fuck up a bit..."

"No swearing!" ...eh, both Sarah's yelled that.

"SHHHHHHHH...ut up!" the other Max said. "Nicely done," my Max said. "Thanks...um...I think...that's Naraku...so..." the other Max went on. "Holy shit," my Max said. "Holy shit...it IS him..." the other Sarah said. "What happened to no swearing?" Mayank asked jokingly. "No jokes...let's go," the other me said and got out of the car. I felt oxygen coming back to me as the back seat emptied. After a bit, I noticed I was sort of...dazed. I just was sitting there. "Kim...you coming..?" my Max asked me, lingering back a bit from the...odd group. I nodded and got out with her,"Party, woot, right?" I asked hesitantly. She shrugged, nodding a bit,"I guess...kind of...last party, eh?" she asked, as we walked towards the frat house. "...the party of the parting of the...part...ners," I said. "Smooth," she commented. "Indeed..." I mumbled.

~Kim's P.o.V. Reallll Kimmmm~

I was freaking out by the time we got into the frat party. Especially after what the other me had said would happen. She saw the look on my face and nudged me,"Don't worry...we're doubled now...and we aren't going to get drunk in a pissed off state so we'll be safe?" she said. I nodded, clinging to Jon's arm. I felt a cold arm brush against mine and jumped. It was my Max. She looked close to tears as she shook. She'd managed to slip on a pair of jeans, shoes and a shirt.

I smiled lightly, remembering when I'd bought her that shirt. It said,"FUCK OFF!" so...nicely. Remembering how...we just were, when I visited. She almost cried when she tackle-hugged me and then she almost cried more when she saw her boyfriend, Jake, was with me. We drove to the mall, of course, because we were Kim and Max. We went to Hot Topic, of course, because, we were indeed, Kimberley Jean and Maxine Lisa, the awesome goffixness.

Now I watched her tremble in her shoes, her eyes filling with tears. She looked so...little and afraid. I took her arm, looking around for Jake, who'd apparently gotten lost in the crowd. She clinged to my arm for dear life,"I'm scared..." she whispered. "I know hun...it'll be okay..." I whispered back. My Meg looked brave as her eyes scanned the partying crowd, Jack next to her. My Sarah seemed to be fighting the urge to run away, as she held onto Mayank's hand tightly.

The other me was holding Kaiba's hand tightly, her eyes filled with sadness, but her face so brave. The other Max stood tall, holding InuYasha's hand as he looked around, his eyes narrowed. The other Meg was standing in front of Jack Sparrow, his arms around her. The other Sarah looked panicky as she clinged to Will Turner's arm and leaned over to her Meg,"I want to go home..." she whispered. The other Meg nodded bravely.

Warmth covered my arm and Maxine's hand left mine. I looked over in a panic and let out a breath of relief as I saw Jake slip his jacket around her and look at me seriously as he held her close to him,"She's sick, Kim...I need to get her out of here soon..." he said over the blasting music. I nodded and looked at the other me, finding words, or attempting to. She met my eyes and...something happened. I heard in my head...

"I want my daughters, I want to go home, laying in Seto's arms...I don't want to let go, I want it to be normal for all of us... I'm looking at me, and I don't want that any more...I'm past that, I thought I was..."

~The other Kim's P.o.V.~

The room seemed to speed by all of us intensely. Our large group seemed...frozen. Maybe we were...

I met the other me's eyes though at that time...and everything did freeze...I heard it in my head...

"I want...what she is...what I have, but it's not me...it's her... I want to be settled, I want true love, I want it to be true, TRUE love... I don't want to be like...me anymore... I want...what she has. I want happiness..."

My breath caught in my throat as everything moved again and her eyes bored into mine. "I...want happiness for you too..." I said, without thinking. She looked on the verge of tears...or did I? Either way...I know knew, she wanted out. "Dog-boy...what now?" I asked. InuYasha didn't have time to yell at me for calling him dog-boy. The lights flickered and went out, and everyone froze. Except us...

The two Meg's, the two Sarah's, the two Max's and the two me's...InuYasha, Jake, Jon, Jack, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Mayank and Seto. We all stood, not moving but not frozen. All our eyes were on different spots now. Except mine and the other me's. We knew where to look. As if we knew...everything that was happening. Then I realized...we shared the thoughts, we remembered. I had heard the voice from the bedroom when I was drunk in the hallway. So I knew where and what was going on in there...

But then...which Max was gone?

Our eyes met and then we turned quickly, looking for our Max's. They were both gone. "InuYasha..?!" I asked in a panic. "Where is she?!" Jake asked, shaking. His voice sounded broken.

An evil laugh broke our panic. Now we were afraid.

There stood Naraku at the top of the stairs, seemingly...floating. His arms were held out, his hands closed around two throats. His nails bore into their necks as they kicked, using the walls for support to keep from choking.

It was both of the Maxine's. And suddenly...there was no boundary. No "My Max" and "the other 'real' realm Max". They were both mine. They were both dear. They were of the same. And they were both dying.

"The story-teller...must never tell a lie..." Naraku whispered, kissing both of the Maxine's foreheads. I shuddered, tears dripping down my face. I felt helpless as I clinged to Kim...the other me...Kim.

"The liar...must always...die..." Naraku finished viciously. "No, no, no..." I heard Sarah whispering behind me. I didn't know which one, maybe both. It didn't matter suddenly, we were here together.

But then...we weren't. Our realms...had suddenly fused, erasing the time skip, but at the same time...splitting us again.

Everything seemed to disappear around just the 9 of us...Naraku, me and Kim, the two Meg's, the two Sarah's and the two Max's who were still dangling helplessly.

There was no boyfriends, no husbands, no partiers.

It was only us.

I didn't know how to explain it, but at the same time...I could explain it.

I held onto Kim's hand, her's connecting with Meg's who...connected to the "other" Meg, connected to both Sarah's. We were in this together.

My breath shook as I whispered,"Let her go..." but my voice grew louder. Kim had yelled it, she was...braver,"Let her go!" she had shouted, at the same instant. Naraku just laughed evilly. "Which one..." he whispered maliciously. "It was a story...it is a story...Kim!" I shouted, fighting my tears as I watched my best friend...my little sister, dangle there, crying,"Kim! It's a story...we write the story! Maxine...she writes the story!" She looked confused then something dawned on her, spreading across her face. It was a smile as she shouted, through her tears,"Maxine! Magazine...tell us, how the story ends!" I was crying now, a smile on my lips too. We seemed to figure it out...all of us. Both Meg's and both Sarah's looked convinced and they knew too... They started shouting,"Tell us the end of the story, Max!"

I was silent though and they continued to struggle. I watched, as Kim and the others just shouted, crying and watched miserably, helplessly as my sister...sisters...both but one dangled, choking and dying and crying. They needed me, it seemed. I was useful...no, Kim, she was useful. I realized...I wasn't useless and I had this purpose...

"Maxine! Look at me!" I shouted, raising my voice above the others,"You read me the stories before bed, over the phone! You wrote that...craziness and I loved it! But this story...it needs the right ending! Make him go away, my little sister... I love you, my little sister...make it stop!" I was crying, full tears now, no shame. But I saw, with my own eyes, a miracle...

Both the Maxine's, seemed to find the grip on the wall, supporting themselves with their feet, propped against the small hallway on the staircase. They joined their hands, looking at Naraku as they both spoke evenly...in that story-telling voice...

"Naraku sensed the fear among all these girls...but he felt their bond too. It wasn't seperated anymore. It had grown, to become, not 8 different people, not 4 different people...but one strong bond, of friends. These friends...knew now. They weren't defeating Naraku. They were defeating doubt, hesitation...seperation and fear. Everything was different. But this was their monster, in the form of a figure they all watched once before... this form, Naraku...changed before their eyes as the girls shouted encouragement to the 'story-teller'... he changed before their eyes, to nothing...but something. He was all their fears. Different for all..."

And as she finished the story, I felt coldness melt away.

"Forget your fears..." I whispered. Kim looked at me. "Forget your fears..." she repeated and both our voices grew strong,"You guys! Don't be afraid! Forget your fear!"

There was such a shock, such a bright light and such a scream, all at once...and we all...fell.

The scream had been "our fear". The fall, was mostly, the Maxine's.

The shock, actually came last. It was like lightning, through all our bodies, it seemed. And a time split, happened. A rip in the seam, we saw another realm, rip through. It was mine. It was ours. It was the dream. I released Kim's hand and hugged my Maxine close as she embraced hers. Her Meg and Sarah surrounded her and my own Canadian's surrounded me. We were safe. And we had to leave, all of it, behind. I clenched Kim's hand once more,"Don't be afraid..." I whispered as I stepped through with Meg, Sarah and Max. Through the time rip...to our reality...

 

~I know, you must think I'm crazy.

But you have to admit, that was one hell of an update for the story, eh?

So...no more complaining? Then again...I'm not done...

I am the story teller after all. This could go on forever.

But it won't...a few more chapters, mates.

 

This made me cry, with it's...lameness? We actually...have that strong bond, because we rawk.

On yea, fear that 'w' in 'rawk'. It's sexier than you...

 

I'll never stop being a loser.

So review or I shant give you another update as great as this!
