A Nightmare’s Tattoo

Noire's p.o.v.

I ran down the alley after I saw Kid on the ground and regulated my breathing to push myself further and faster. I must not be caught.....not tonight. That's when I heard Kid shouting again. Ok, he's fine and alive...good.....but still! I can't go back and get caught no matter how funny watching him must be. I ran down the alley faster and made a hard left almost falling over to do it and ran down that one following the labyrinth of alleys. I slowed down and hid against a building in the shadows sliding down the wall into a sitting position to catch my breath. My legs ached from the effort I was putting into this and my lungs burned from taking in a lot of oxygen too fast at one time. My breath came in big gasps and I leaned my head against my knees letting the coolness of the air, the wall, and the ground help me cool off a little. I slowly got to my feet leaning against the building. "HELLO BEAUTIFUL! I FOUND YOU, BOO!" Kid stepped into my view and grabbed my arms. "Let's go back to the hotel honey suckle and get my room key I left on the ground."

"AHHHHHHH! NO! HE FOUND ME WHILE I WAS TAKING A BREAK!" I pulled away quickly my heart speeding up again and I got an adrenaline rush that fueled another run. I took off back down the alley and turned right as I concentrated on speed again. I was quickly tackled by Kid.

"There is no way in hell I am gonna let you go that fast again." He said in my ear and picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "IVE GOT A SONG FOR YOU!"

"Oh...I've been caught again....." I mumbled and looked around and relaxed. My legs hurt too much for a fight and another run right now. Maybe in....10 minutes...30?

"Yes you have been caught red handed running from me you little escape artist. I can not believe Fade did not help me out in this situation. Ugh family first before sisters!"

"Sisters are family." I rolled my eyes. "And she did help you. She called you down to the lobby while I was there and I took off running again."

"Yeah! I can not believe it." He laughed. "Why do you run from me I am your boyfriend." Oh.....that's a tough one.

"Why do boys run from girls when they are little on the playground?" I countered.

"I thought girls- oh."

"Girls ran from guys? Totally right. Guys run from girls but when girls get chased by guys and the tables are turned, they run from the guy." I smirked. "Like now." I braced my hands against his back and pushed off of him doing a flip in the air and landed on my feet and took off running. I think that was.....5 minutes. NEW RECORD!

"HEY NOIRE COME ON! THIS IS TOO TIRING HOW ABOUT WE MAKE A DEAL! OR A TRUCE!" I fell to my knees and curled up into a ball catching my breath. Guess I wasn't ready to run again.

"What kind of deal?"

"You come back and don't run from me and I will give you your own room to sleep in tonight but if you keep running, your gonna end up in my bed and I will make you sleep with your shirt off."

"If you can even catch me....." I said quietly looking around the alley for a way out. That's actually a very good deal.....should I take it? Let's see.....A weapon who is very burned out from running all day against a Shinigami who is probably mad that I'm running.....A weapon resisting a Shinigami....How funny. Normally anyone would leap for joy at a chance to even be in the same room with one. Ok.....sleep in my own room that Kid said he would get me or run and try not to get caught.

"Oh don't worry, I will catch you." He fiddled around with one of the rings.

"What's with that?" I sat up a little.

"What?" He smirked.

"Why are you playing with the rings?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Because I feel like it."

"Well that's not helping." I looked behind me down the alley that I could take off running down.

"If you run, I will just let you go."

"Oh? Is that right?" I looked at him. "You'll let me go?"

"Your already free." He turned around and started walking off. I stood up and walked off down the alley in a different direction stretching. "YOUR GONNA GET LOST!"

"I KNOW! I'M CHECKING OUT THE CITY! MAYBE I'LL GO FIND THE PLACES WHERE THE TEENAGERS HANG OUT!" I shouted over my shoulder and kept walking. I heard footsteps coming towards me and I was tackled to the ground and pinned.

"YOU ARE NOT. GONNA. DO. ANYTHING. GOT IT?"

"Yeah.... I'm just going to go find out where they are at and hang out there to see what the people in France are like." I stared into his eyes.

"How about, no. We are gonna go to the hotel and sleep and in the morning we will go home."

"I thought we got a night, then a day, and then a morning in France, or are you getting paranoid?"

"I think I want to take you...camping. No better yet I want to take everyone camping! BUT THAT CORI."

"What's wrong with Cori? He's pretty cool." I tilted my head a little in confusion. Why the sudden hate of Cori?

"No worries my dear he can come after he gets a boyfriend." Kid got to his feat then pulled me to mine and then picked me up bridal style.

"Boyfriend? Don't you mean girlfriend?"

"Well He is straight and so if he got a girl then he'd get to come and I don't want that so boy it is."

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Yes."

"What? It's not like he has a crush on me or anything. Where are we camping this time?"

"How about we go to this log cabin my dad just bought us in the woods."

"Oh.....in the woods? Are you trying to trap me?"

"Yes. It is secluded and that means no competition. Perfect conditions for shippers and ships to bond."

"But what if you have competition among the group." Cue the dun dun duuuns.

"That is why Cori cant come."

"Wait....Cori.....is competition?"

"No no no." He shook his head. "I way over out rank him...right?"

"mm hmm." I nodded. "You outrank Hero...Cori.....Adrian...James.....any other guy that randomly came into my life.....yeah."

"Oh I better." He kissed me as he carried me to the hotel. "So tomorrow we are gonna pack up fly back home and get the gang then go to the cabin in the woods. My dad will never know we came back."

"Um.....isn't the private plane one of his though?" I pointed out.

"We hijack the plane."

"No one knows how to fly that thing." I gasped.

"Oh... Ok. We knock out the guy once we land, and throw him in a room at the party house?"

"Why the party house? OH can I have my phone back when we get home?" I looked at him sweetly trying for it.

"No." He smirked and we finally made it back to the hotel.

"So.....after this.....good night." I looked at the ground expecting him to set me down.

"Good night." He picked up a key after setting me down and handed it to me. "Told you I left it here."

"Well good thing you didn't lose it." I looked at it.

"right." He went over to the desk and asked for a room. I nodded. So he doesn't count what I did as running off.....good. I gave Kid a hug from behind and went to the elevator and pressed the button looking at the room number on the key. I got in and went to the floor that the room was on and went to the room. After I found the room, I closed the door and locked it behind me and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I came out, I realized that Kid's bags were in here. THANKS LIZ AND PATTI. When I found my bags I pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a tank top then got dressed and braided my hair into twin braids then climbed into bed looking at Kid's bags. Is he going to need those?  A knock came on the door and then Kid walked in and grabbed his bags.

"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU IN HERE? I LOCKED THAT DOOR." I sat up quickly. Lucky me I had gotten changed faster than he could come up here.

"I have a key." He shrugged. "Good night Noire." He walked out and shut the door behind him.  I got up quickly and locked it again and moved a dresser in front of the door and stepped back to admire my handiwork. I sighed and looked around the room. So I ended up with Kid's room all to myself. Ok. I crawled into the bed and turned off the light going to sleep.

I was in a familiar dark room again.....JAMES'S BASEMENT. OH SHIT..... I laid down and played possum.  James walked into the room with a crazed look on his face as he carried a knife in one hand and a bag in the other. Chains appeared around my wrists and I was chained to the wall instantly with only a foot of chain. James laughed and suddenly a table appeared and he sat the bag and knife down on it and opened the bag slowly. "What to use...what to use." He smirked. He pulled out a scalpel he studied it then put it down on the table before grabbing a blade and bottle of lemon juice. He laughed evilly. "So little princess wants to play possum?" He asked and walked over with the blade and then lifted my chin up. I snapped my eyes open all the way and my defense system kicked in as I kicked his feet out from under him and sent him falling to the floor. The room started spin and the floor caved from under us and the chains disappeared and suddenly I started falling like Alice in the rabbit hole. I seen clocks ticking and towards the end of the hole they stopped and I landed on a table and suddenly I was strapped down to a table the way Stein does to his test subjects. James stood over me and had the blade in his hand along with a lab coat on. He laughed evilly and then I started struggling against the straps.

"This is just a dream...it's only a dream.....SOMEONE WAKE ME UP! I BEG OF YOU! EVEN IF YOU ARE SPIRIT, I WILL WELCOME YOUR FACE! I MEAN IT! PLEASE! OR CAN I HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND DIE ALREADY?!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I pulled against the straps. He tisked at me and shook his head then put goggles on and then started cutting my shirt open getting to my stomach and started cutting lightly there and after a few 32 cuts he pored lemon juice on me. No matter how hard I struggled the straps wouldn't break. I screamed in pain and writhed a little and spat at James. "YOU BASTARD!" He shook his head.

"Want me to clean them?"

"How?" I asked cautiously through gritted teeth trying to control my screaming.

"Momma always said that you cant wash a dish in cold water." He smirked and walked across the door to a fireplace a took a pot of boiling water off the fire.

"Nope, you stay there. Dump it out on that fire right there. Ok? Give yourself a steam burn and knock yourself out." I said quickly. It's only a dream.....It doesn't hurt really.....Nothing is happening to me.....EXCEPT FOR MY POOR MIND! OH MY GAWD SOMEONE WAKE ME UP RIGHT NOW. I BEG OF YOU. I SHOULD HAVE LET KID SLEEP WITH ME...I SHOULD HAVE! DUMB NOIRE!

"Time to wash you clean." He walked over and then started pouring the boiling hot water from my feet quickly up to my head and dumped the whole pot on my head. It felt like I was drowning, he disappeared as the door filled with water, freezing cold. The room soon turned into a ocean and somehow It drained and it all went pitch black. I heard noises a few feet away. Bat noises.  I took off running the other way now unstrapped and created some knifes in my dream for myself (because it's MY dream in a sense) and turned around throwing the knifes into the dark toward where I heard the noises. I heard them hit and when they did it sounded like thunder and brightened up the room like lightening but soon faded. CAN I DO THAT AGAIN.....I JUST CREATED LIGHTNING IN MY DREAM BY THROWING A KNIFE! AWESOME! I giggled a little despite the pain that was still with me and kept running through the dark then fell to my knees.

"HOLY SHIT IT'S DARK. WHERE'S MY TEDDY AT? SERIOUSLY. SOMEONE GENERATE MY TEDDY." I curled into a ball. In a split second a door opened and light shinned in and then a spot light and James face appeared in my face and he had the knifes I had throw and he stabbed them straight into me and glared at me with a clench jaw like a human killing a bug that just bit them. "What....the.....hell.....are.....Adrian...this....is about him.....isn't it? My fault.....I took his soul.....Doesn't that sort of make him.....a.....part of me James?" I pulled the knifes out gritting my teeth to keep from screaming in pain again and when I did, I looked at my hands and found them stained with blood, either my blood or Adrian's I don't know. My heart was beating so fast right now that I thought I should have died already from a heart attack or something.

"You listen up good little girl." James leaned in close to my face. "This may be a dream but when I break out, I am coming for you." He stuck his finger to my chest and that's when I realized this isn't just a dream.

"You're really here aren't you? From that cell.....you've gone and gotten help from a witch to do this haven't you? This really is about Adrian...isn't it? What if.....I kill you first? What if I do it the moment I come back?" I stared into his eyes. He chuckled.

"I wont be in this pathetic cell when you get back from France." The light turned on and we was in a DWMA cell.

"How about.....I have a little FUN of my own?" I stood up and tilted my head smiling insane a little. "It's my dream and you messed with my nightly visits of Mr. Fluffy the Unicorn."

"Sorry I thought I would get my message through to you, now for my final finale before I go." He leaned in and gave me a slimy kiss. I pulled away quickly and wiped my lips off and glared at him.

"Your so sick....If only I had known that you were so upset earlier I could've helped you. I could've helped you get over him. He killed my mom, and you know it."

"BOOHOO." He rolled his eyes. "I don't care about you or your mother, I cared for Adrian." He started to fade away. I felt a sudden pain almost like I had been ripped by a knife and I collapsed to the ground screaming in pain. A pool of blood formed around me. I'm bleeding.....This is NOT good. I hope this dream ends soon before I'm stuck in this madness. The walls dramatically started bleeding around me and the walls closed in on me and shaped into a padded wall room for insane people. 

"I'M COMING FOR YOU AS SOON AS I COME BACK JAMES. I'LL BEAT YOU TO IT!" I shouted. "IF THIS DREAM IS REAL!" I added. The door started to creak shut slow then in a quick motion it slammed shut just as the spot light shut off.  I started hearing snakes and felt something slither up my arm and it curled around my upper arm. The scales brushed against my skin and I heard a creepy laugh. "Oh shit.....the witch is coming....Snakes?" I tried not to panic as the snake continued to coil around me squeezing me tightly.

"Hahaha, have fun my little puppet. Mark her." The voice sent chills down my spine and I whimpered.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly. I felt a sharp pain in my arm where the snake was and had one more hallucination. I falling into a sea of blood and when I looked above me, I saw a person with a black sword and whoever this was wore a black dress and had a loony look on his face with light pink/ purple hair. My eyes widened as he waved bye to me and tilted his head. I screamed as I plummeted to my death and-

I sat up quickly waking up from a nightmare about James coming back and finishing the job. Panting, I looked around wildly still feeling a ghost of the pain from my nightmare and saw that it was very early. The clock said 5 am. DAMN YOUJAMES. DAMN YOU. I WOKE UP BECAUSE OF YOU! I shook my head and looked around wondering if I could go back to sleep. When I laid back down and shut my eyes, the images came back. The bloodstained knife and my blood pooling around me in a puddle. James standing over me laughing. The pain...everything. I screamed sitting up again. Something is wrong with me. Why am I dreaming about him? What happened to my dreams about unicorns and butterflies? I miss them!  Kid ran in and came over to me. "Noire are you ok?" I stood up quickly running to the bathroom feeling like I was going to throw up from the nightmare.  "Noire?" He followed me and sounded worried. I threw up into the toilet and flushed it then brushed my teeth crying. I finally looked at him and shook my head.

"No.....I don't think I am...."

"Need me to stay here?"

"I don't know anymore....." I looked at my hands and saw a piece of my nightmare again. My hands looked bloodstained again. I quickly looked up at him and moved my hands behind me. He walked over and pulled me into a tight hug and kissed the top of my forehead.

"Did you have a nightmare?" He buried his face into my neck.

"A killer nightmare." I muttered. I probably shouldn't tell him. There is no way it was real.

"I am so sorry." He picked me up gently and carried me over to the bed.

"You couldn't have done anything....Why are we going back to bed? There is no way I'm sleeping after seeing my own death." and everything else I saw too.

"How about breakfast then?"

"I....I guess." I nodded slowly.

"Great, I know just the place." He sat me down and took my hand and kissed it as he bowed.

"Aw.....at least someone cares." I smiled a little and put the nightmare out of my mind the best I could by focusing on Kid.

"We all care for you." He smiled and stood. "Especially me." He walked over to the door. "Meet me in the lobby in a few minutes?" That's when I noticed. I had moved a dresser in front of that door last night...

"Kid? How'd you get in?"

"I got in last night through the window, moved the dresser, sat the rings on the dresser facing you and left through the door."

"Wait...that's not creepy. Stalker. THAT'S HOW YOU KNEW I HAD A NIGHTMARE." I stood up and walked over to his rings and picked them up and put them in my pocket.

"AHHHH YOUR GONNA BLIND ME, THATS SO UNFAIR, BUT I GOTTA LOVE YOU FOR IT! Anyways meet me soon ok?"

"Uh huh. Don't freak out if you find that your rings are in a box." I pulled a small box out of my bags and looked up at him.

"No, don't do that." He pouted.

"Only until I'm done changing Kid. You don't need to see that."

"Yes miss Noire." He smirked and shut the door after him. What's with the smirk?

"Bu-bye!" I called after him and took the rings out of my pocket and smiled a little at them and put them in the box then tossed the box somewhere. "Be free!" I picked out a random t-shirt and a pair of jeans that Kid had packed for me and took it to my bathroom then got ready. When I was done, I came out and looked at the box. Like I'm gonna take them out of the box. That's just asking to have a stalker. A creepy stalker who's your boyfriend. That's even worse than a stalker. I opened the door and locked it behind me heading to the elevator and went down to the lobby. Kid was standing in his normal outfit and watched me.

"Ready?" He asked and smiled sweetly. I nodded and grabbed his hand smiling back at him.

"Let's go."

"Yes miss." He laughed and then walked me out to a car and got into it and cut some Fall Out Boy on. I climbed in and looked at him.

"So where are we going?"

"To... a café." He smiled and then sped off. "When we are done eating there we will come back and tell everyone we are leaving."

"Some may not be too happy." Poor Fade and Black Star.....they wanted to go see the Leaning Tower of Pisa before we left Europe.

"They can handle it, their not toddlers."

"The deal was to let Fade go see something asymmetrical because she had to go to the Eiffel Tower." I reminded him.

"Fine we will print out pictures and show her on the way to the airport."

"She's gonna rip your throat out."

"She can try."

"Is that a challenge I hear?"

"Fine. I will take her to see it, we will do a fly by."

"That works I guess." I dropped it. "So what are we going to do when we get back to Death City? Am I getting my phone back finally?"

"Why do you keep asking I said no and I mean it."

"When am I getting it back?"

"Sometime in the future."

"That's vague...."

"Sorry about that sweetie." He laughed and pulled up to the café.

"It's alright.....I'll find a-" I cut myself off before I gave up my plan.

"I knew you would agre- holly corn on the cob...is that Nick?" I ducked down instinctively before looking.

"Really?" I asked from the floor.

Fade's p.o.v.

I woke up as light shinned into my eyes. I  shielded my eyes from the light and groaned then turned over and fell straight into the floor by Black Star screaming as I fell with a thud knocking my head on the floor hard. I whimpered and curled up. "Owe." I muttered as the blanket and pillow followed me to the floor. Black Star stirred but he started snoring again in a few seconds. I pouted and sat up looking at the time and then groaned laying back down and curled up into his warmth. Black Star mumbled something and his arms wrapped around me pulling me closer. I closed my eyes and yawned and then remembered something and blushed looking down at what I had on. Black Star tilted my head up to him and he kissed me softly still waking up.

"Morning beautiful....." he said sleepily.

"Good morning." I said softly and then looked back down. Black Star tilted my head back up.

"Why are we on the floor?" He smiled softly.

"I rolled out of bed and you joined me?"

"Oh ok...well....wanna go back to sleep and ignore the mo-"

"RISE AND SHINE SLEEPY HEAD! WE ARE GOING HOME!" Noire burst into the room. I gasped and then grabbed then blanket and covered up all the way.

"I'm not here." I told Black Star.

"Well then." Noire said. "I'll pick out your outfit milady!" Noire walked over to my bags and dumped all the lingerie into the floor and kicked it across the room and then pulled out my favorite jacket and a black pair of pants to go with it and a white shirt to go underneath and tossed them to me. "So Kid wants to go camping." She smiled at me.

"But I wanted to go see the leaning tower today....DID YOU SAY CAMPING? OKAY TIE BREAKER!" I giggled.

"Oh don't worry, we're doing a fly by so you get both." Noire giggled and hopped up onto my bed and watched me.

"Can I get some privacy?" I blushed.

"What do you think bathrooms are for?" Noire asked pouting. She pointed to my bathroom. "It's over there you know?"

"Fine." I got up and grabbed the outfit she picked out and went to the bathroom forgetting about the outfit I had on and then shut the door and took off the shirt. I heard Noire and Black Star talking about James in the other room.

"So Black Star, do you think James is still in that cell we left him in?" Noire asked sounding worried.

"Of course we have great security. There is no way that pathetic thing could break out of the cell we put him in. Why do you ask?"

"No reason." She said quickly.....too quickly. I took a shower and then brushed my teeth and hair after drying off then got dressed and walked out to them. I smiled at Noire and then looked at Black Star.

"Hey go get ready we are going home." I smiled sweetly. Black Star nodded and left me alone with Noire who laid down on my bed a little rubbing her arm. I walked over and sat down by her.

"Whats bothering you sweets?"

"Nothing really.....just a nightmare about him...." Noire's eyes flashed with primal fear and she tensed up for a moment then relaxed shaking her head.

"Oh... James?" I tilted my head. "Hey maybe when we get back we should end him so you wont be so worried over him..."

"I'm not worried.....Why would I be worried? He's got to be in that cell." Noire sat up a little.

"There is no way he can break out so don't worry ok? When we go to kill him I will be by your side protecting you."

"Thanks but the weapon protects the meister and I would gladly give up my own life for yours so.....yeah. We'll do it together!" She hugged me and laid back down.

"I would die for you to Noire as a friend." I rubbed her head messing her hair up and giggled then fell off the bed again. "AH!" Noire looked at me over the edge of the bed.

"You ok? Oh, did I tell you I escaped Kid last night?" She smirked.

"I knew you would." I giggled and got to my feet and packed up my bag and then stretched looking out the window. "Twice I fell out that dangerous bed this morning."

"When they give you the survey, make sure to diss it." Noire giggled. "They'll feel so bad because they made a Death Twin mad at them."

"You got that right. The death family is scary." I look at her.

"Yeah they can be at times. I've lived with them for....6 years now? Maybe more? I don't know, but hey! I've become Death twin property during that time." She giggled and fell backwards onto my bed. "I have such a weird label now."

"Lord Death, Death twins, and Death twin property...its got a good ring to it."

"Wow...I can't believe I'm being called that now." She laughed and picked at my blanket.

"That's what you get for dating one twin and being the other twins property." I teased.

"Hey.....I can totally resist your brother. Look at last night. He hit a tree." Noire laughed.

"YEAH I SEEN THAT!" I bursted into a fit of giggles and Kid walked in and looked back and forth at us.

"Ready to go?" He asked as I got quiet.

"Nope." Noire said still laughing. "Can you go.....I don't know....somewhere else so Fade will laugh with me."

"Nope!" He smirked and I bit my bottom lip.

"Were waiting on Black Star, go see if he is out or not will you?" I asked sweetly.

"Sure thing, I was heading that way right after this." He walked to the door.

"I can't believe you hit a tree." Noire giggled as she said it.

"I...I was busy being worried over you." He turned and looked at her then walked over to her and leaned in kissing her and I looked down and giggled.

"Go get a room!" I threw the pillow at my feet at Kid and he tumbled over.

"No, no room." Noire paled and scooted away from Kid on the bed. "I'd prefer NOT to be made out with."

"Yes ma'am." He said and walked out the room yelling over his shoulder, "LOBBY 10 MINUTES!" I shook my head.

"So demanding."

"No that was his easy side." Noire stood up. "His demanding side is way scary." Noire smiled.

"I believe it." I giggled and then grabbed my bag and walked over to the door. Noire followed me and stretched.

"Want me to take that? I've already moved my stuff down there and Liz is watching our stuff."

"I got this, I think I will go ahead and take it to one of the cars." I walked over to the elevator. Noire pressed the button and we waited on the elevator.

"How long do you think it will take for us to get to Death City?"

"Several." I shrugged. The elevator doors opened and I got in and looked around and pressed the lobby button. Noire followed me and sighed.

"Good."

"Why good?"

"Let's just say I'm not looking forward to Death City."

"Yeah I want a LONGER break out of that city but guess what, Kid is dragging us back as fast as he can pull us there." I shrugged.

"Yeah, he's talking about high jacking the plane." Noire giggled. "He really wants to go camping for some reason. Wanna bet I'm dead?"

"You probably are, you just don't know it yet." I smiled. "So everyone camping?"

"Not Cori. Not unless he magically gets a boyfriend. Kid doesn't like the idea of a straight single guy in the woods with us."

"So we are camping in the woods?" I pulled out my phone from my bag. "I will invite Cori anyways. He is a friend and if he does something Kid don't like then he will get what he deserves." I shrugged.

"Poor Cori." Noire said. "Life is complicated." The elevator stopped and the door opened to reveal Kid, Black Star, Tsubaki, Liz, and Patti waiting on us. I smiled and walked out and put my phone in my coat pocket and then walked over to the front door. Everyone followed with their stuff and Kid walked up next to me.

"So Fade....did Noire spoil it?"

"Spoil what?" I tilted my head innocently.

"Where we are going when we land." He smirked.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." He winked and everyone put their bags into the cars and we got in driving to the airport. When we got there I grab my bag first and got onto the plain and then sat my stuff down and went to the mini kitchen on the plane and started fixing myself a sandwich. Everyone was on soon and the plane started to take off as I came back out of the kitchen. I ate the sandwich and opened a bag of chips and popped the top open on a soda can and sat down at a table looking out the window and grabbed my laptop off the table.

"Kid why is my laptop on the plane?"

"Oh I was using it..." He told me. "I knew it seemed a bit off to me with a unicorn in the background.

"I don't have unicorns as my- NOIRE!" I giggled and looked for her. "Thanks for the background." I opened up the laptop and started playing music low. I scooted over as Noire came up and sat by me. I gave her a chip and smiled at her.

"You're welcome about the background." Noire smiled at me and ate the chip. "And thanks for the chip."

"Your welcomes." I stretched and then felt something off about Noire. I looked at her hair first and seen it symmetrical and gasped. "I knew it."

"Knew what?" Noire asked innocently and tilted her head.

"Your hair is symmetrical."

"Oops sorry." Noire unbraided her hair and then moved her hair over one shoulder and then braided it over her shoulder to make the style asymmetrical for me.

"Yay."

"NO NO NO NOIRE NOW IT LOOKS WRONG!" Kid yelled as he walked up and then glanced behind us. "HOLLY COW ITS ASSYMETRICAL NO!" He took off running and fixed a painting crooked on the wall.

"It looks wrong? I think it's cute." Noire glared at him. He came back and sat down stealing my bag of chips and Black Star walked up stealing my drink and I narrowed my eyes.

"HEY!" I reached out for my drink and then my chips but they leaned to far out of my reach. "UGH!"

"I'll see you later." Noire got up quickly running off to one of the bedrooms before she got caught in between me and them. I got up and crossed my arms. I saw the shippers slowly walk into one of the bedrooms watching me. Kid gave me my chips back and ran off and I then stared daggers into Black Star who is so amazing, not.

"Oh! I'm so wounded! Help! I'm dying!" Black Star dramatically fell to the floor slowly putting a hand on his chest and when he reached the floor he held out one hand towards the ceiling. "IS THAT THE LIGHT?"

"No it is me, YOUR GODDESS." I grabbed my drink from him and then sat down on him and drunk it.

"Ah! She's killing me! She's gonna kill me!" He laughed a little.

"You better not take my drink again." I get up quickly and then sat down in my spot and grabbed my bag of chips and smiled. Kid came back from the kitchen with his own bag of chips. I giggled and look towards the amazing Black Star.

"Wanna take a nap?" He asked smirking as he picked me up and took away my snacks and toted me to one of the bedrooms opening it and shut the door behind us.

"YOU NEVER EVER TAKE SNACKS FROM ME BLUE HEAD! I NEVER SAID YES TO THIS!" I pouted. He held out a bag of cookies.

"Here, the ones I made you." He smirked.

"Okay!" I grabbed them quickly and opened them and started eating. Black Star locked the door and stretched.

"So....nap time."

"Who do you think I am some kidnigartner? I need a drink first." I crossed my arms. He passed me a juice box. I took it and drunk it then sat the stuff in the floor and curled up on the bed and yawned. He crawled into bed with me and relaxed next to me and pulled me to him. "Hey wait a minute...Didn't I tell you this isn't gonna happen anymore?"

"No." He smirked and curled around me a little.

"Are you sure?" I tilt my head and look into his eyes slowly.  

"Yup." He kissed my forehead. "Now go to sleep. We'll be there soon."

"No." I pouted.

"What? Wanna make out with me?" His smile grew a little. My eyes widened and I backed up a bit.

"Huh, when did I say that?"

"So go to sleep then." He shrugged and cuddled me to him.

"So commanding..." I sit up slowly. He pulled me down to him.

"I thought you were tired. I saw you yawn."

"I am, but I sleep when I want without people telling me to fall asleep." I stick my tongue out quickly at him then look away.

"Then fall asleep when you want." Black Star yawned and he fell asleep. My jaw dropped.

"When he even get the idea that sleeping with me is ok?" I yawned softly and then closed my eyes falling asleep with him.

Noire's p.o.v.

I ventured out of my room when I heard things quiet down and sat down on one of the couches rubbing where that snake had been in my dream. It still feels like it's there....squeezing my arm.....and my arm is sore as well....I've never had a dream last this long on me..... weird..... I looked around the room and noticed this was the couch I had made out with Kid on right before we got back together and smiled slightly. This couch again? I watched the world outside the window bored by being alone in here. Everyone must have gone to take naps or something. Oh well.....wish I had my PHONE. BUT NOOOOOO, HE HAD TO TAKE IT FROM ME. I saw Fade's laptop on the table and got up turning it off and closed the screen then put it with her things and sat down again. SOOOOOOOO....I'm bored....maybe I can go find the shippers? I stood up and went to the room they were in and sat down in front of the door and listened in to find out if they were planning anything.

"When we get back, let's make sure that the three girls are left alone with their guys ok? We'll trap the girls and give them to the guys." Liz said softly.

"Oh YESSS! Then while they get each other we can go see a movie and come back asking about going camping or something." Patti added on.

"No, no. We should just rush everyone to pack and roll out to the cabin in the woods. Then we help the guys trap the girls." Tsubaki said softly.

"Wait wait....Liz...you have a boyfriend so, does this mean we help Dave trap you?"

"Dave doesn't have to trap me. I come willingly." Liz giggled.

"OH..." Patti giggled.

"Yeah....OH is right." Liz laughed and the girls erupted into laughter. I stood up hearing enough. SCARY SHIPPERS! SCARY, SCARY SHIPPERS! I ran off into the main room again and sat down on the couch, but I sat on Kid who was laying down covered up by a blanket.

"Oh hey Kid." I didn't move off of him.

"Hey baby." He smiled softly. "Wait...your hair."

"Huh?" I looked at him blankly.

"It is asymmetrical."

"Oh ok." I shrugged it off.

"HMMM...Come lay down in my arms."

"Better idea: I just keep sitting on you asymmetrically."

"Don't you dare." I smirked and crossed my legs making my situation even more asymmetrical and pulled a little out of the braid for the other side of my face and stretched asymmetrically. "AHHHHH!" He turned over and faceplanted the pillow. While he was tasting pillow, I fixed my hair into twin braids and made myself more symmetrical deciding I was pushing it. He looked back up at me and then frowned and got up going to the bedroom with Fade and Black Star in it and a few seconds later he pulled Fade out and she was rubbing her eyes. "FADE STOP ENCOURAGING MY GIRLFRIEND TO BE ASYMMETRICAL!" Kid pouted and Fade looked me over.

"Stop making her symmetrical, she is my weapon." She then froze as she stared at me in a weird way and tensed up. "Kid..." I sighed and took out the braids and ruffled my hair a little. Fine, no braids if they are going to fight over it. I rolled my eyes and curled up on the couch.

"What?" He looked from me, to Fade, then back at me. His eyes widened. I looked at them and shrugged guessing they were still obsessing over symmetry and asymmetry. "OH MY GAWD SHE IS ASYMMETRICAL!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ON YOUR ARM?!?" They rushed over to me and Fade pointed to my arm. I looked to where she was pointing and my eyes widened. A little black arrow was on my forearm. I stared at then moved my sleeve down a little to cover it. "Kid have you ever seen that before- NOIRE IS IT A TATOO!" Fade giggled.

"No, why would I get a tattoo of an arrow? A black arrow?" I looked at it holding my panic in as that lady's voice echoed in my ears. The words 'mark her' came back and I rubbed my arm thinking about the sharp pain I had felt after she said that whoever she was.

"Well where'd it come from?" Kid asked. I looked down at the floor bringing my knees up to my chest.

"I think that I may or may not have been dream tapped."

"Dream trap?" Fade asked.

"I had a nightmare last night right? Well...it was about that idiot James.....but the thing is....I think it was actually him with a witch's help tapping into my dreams to mess with me." I shivered. "He warned me that he was coming for me and that when I got back from France, he would be waiting to finish the job. Then I was handed over to someone else I think. I think the witch messed with me too.....marked me." I tried not to tremble as all of it sunk in. It happened and it was real. Kid rushed off towards the front of the plane mumbling something under his breath. Fade stared me down and seemed to be trying to comprehend something. "I swear that was my dream. I didn't believe it after I woke up either but I believed it in the dream. It's probably nothing though, so don't think about it too much." I smiled weakly at her.

"Where'd Kid go." She mumbled and then looked both ways before grabbing my hand and led me after Kid who was arguing with the pilots.

"No sir we can not turn this plane around we past the line, if we turn back we will not make it back. No safe return understand?" The captain said to Kid.

"DAMN IT." Kid cracked his knuckles and turned to see us. I walked up to him and pulled him into a hug.

"Hey, it's probably nothing. For all I know, someone could have drawn that little arrow on me to mess with us."

"Your probably right." Kid sighed and looked down. "I am being over protective and dramatic. There is no way in hell he can get out of that cell. If he did they would tell us and we wouldn't let you out of our sight." Kid said softly.

"See, I'm fine. It's just a little arrow. I bet someone doodled it on me or something while I wasn't paying attention." But that doesn't explain the soreness and the feeling of my arm being squeezed by that snake still.

"I'm gonna go lay back down." Fade rubbed the back of her head. "Kid don't wake me up over another symmetrical/ asymmetrical problem again unless we are in Italy." I smiled at Fade.

"Night Fade." I gave her a hug and looked at Kid.

"Sure, I will try not to." Kid said and waved good bye to Fade as she walked off after saying 'goodnight.' "Good night!" Kid pulled me back to the couch we was on.

"So I think I will try to wash it off later." I smiled at him and sat down on the couch.

"Okay, I am not to worried over it. You hidden it." He sat down by me.

"Well good. Glad it isn't bothering you too much."

"I mean I am only concerned if you are to."

"Nah.....there is no way that it happened. My mind probably just cooked it up to explain James during my nightmare. Dreams are weird."

"They really are weird." I smiled.

"So what do you want to do for the next couple of hours."

"We could cuddle and watch a movie together."

"Ok." I scooted closer to him.

"What do you want to watch?" He grabbed a remote and pressed a button and a wall opened up to reveal a t.v.

"How about.....Guardians of the Galaxy?" I looked at him.

"Sure!" He turned on the tv and then put on the movie for us. I looked at the TV and lightly touched where that arrow was wondering if I should be worried. I'll be worried if it doesn't come off. There. That's good right? Good enough? Doubt until it won't come off? Ok.

"So when we go camping are we going to be sleeping together or are the girls sleeping with the girls and the guys sleeping with the guys?"

"Well there is a hall for the boys and a hall for the girls."

"Oh ok." I stretched out slightly. So no. I'm sleeping with the girls or by myself. Ok. I'm cool with that.

"I think there is like two bedrooms on each side that have bunk bed in them or something like that."

"Alright." So I AM sleeping with the ladies and not by myself. Awesome.....just awesome.....Maybe if I have another dream they will wake me or something. BONUS TO HAVING MORE THAN ONE SLEEPING IN THE SAME ROOM! I giggled and glanced at him.

"There is a few more rooms in the basement as well."

"So?" I relaxed not worried about sleeping in a room full of girls. Nice change of pace. Girl slumber party!

"Well those rooms have queen sized beds or twin sized beds so..."

"Why does that matter?" I shrugged. Has nothing to do with me. I'm sleeping with the girls.

"I might steal you from the girls one night."

"That's what you think." I looked at the TV.

"No that is what you think." Kid whispered and smirked.

"You sure? Sounded like you were thinking it." I looked at him and held his hand.

"I know it will happen you think it wont."

"Well, in that case, I'm going to go to bed and enjoy some freedom." I stood up and started walking to my room I had picked for this trip.

"Hey! Thought we was going to watch a movie together." He got up and followed me.

"Why? I thought you just made that as an excuse to get me to cuddle with you." I didn't look at him but I was smirking. Are you really going to follow me? Or am I getting away with this?

"True, it's ok sweetie I can cuddle you in the bed." He picked me up bridal style. WAIT WHAT. Noooooo, he's gonna kidnap me in there! HELP!

"I thought I was gonna have freedom! Ahhhhh, put me down!" I looked at him quickly.

"Shhhhh don't wake up Blade." He kissed me quickly to silence me. I pulled away the best I could and stared at him.

"Nothing can wake that idiot up and Fade is having too much fun."

"I am sure something wakes up the beast and if you woke him Fade might get pissed."

"Yeah...good point.....But even a marching band in his bedroom probably wouldn't wake him up."

"We should test that." He laughed and carried me into the bedroom and set me down on the bed.

"Well.....are you gonna go?" I laid down and looked at him.

"Nope." He shook his head and laid down by me pulling me close to him.

"Well.....ok then." I curled up next to him not wanting to fight.

"Get some rest sweetie."

"Uh huh....." I smiled at him and closed my eyes after wrapping my arms around him. I fell asleep before him though.

I giggled as I laid down in the field of flowers and watched the butterflies float by on the breeze. Awesome! I'm back butterflies! Ya miss me? The flowers swayed in the wind and the lake rippled a little. I sat up and looked around happily and pulled my knees to my chest watching the clouds float lazily by. I stood up and spun around in a circle. "The hills are alive with the sound of music!" I sung and fell to the earth in a fit of laughter. "Soooo.....Now that I'm here.....What should I do? I KNOW! TREASURE HUNT!" I stood up and pulled out a map I randomly had then started walking North to the lake. "Ok...it should be...East? Or is that West?" A butterfly landed on the paper and pointed left. "Thanks Ms. Butterfly!" I smiled and went the direction she was pointing as she flew off. After a bit of wandering around the field, I got bored and put the map up. "Well.....I should never be a treasure hunter." I looked around and noticed that the butterflies were gone. "HUH? Where'd they go?" I spun around in a circle. "Did I walk to far from Butterfly Field or something? I mean....I'm still in a field of flowers.....and the tree line is over there..." A old looking house appeared and the door creaked open and that's when dark clouds started forming and soon it began to rain, thunder, and lightening. I turned the other way and started running not liking where this was going not at all. "DAMN YOU MIND! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY BUTTERFLIES!" I reached the tree line and stopped. "I should NOT go into the Enchanted Forest...that's where the bears are.....Lions, tigers, and bears." As soon as I said that the forest started to stretch far away from me as the field grew. "WELL SCREW YOU TWO FOREST." I shouted at it and turned around looking around the field. "Man.....I'm going back to reading children's' books when I get out of this. Not Little Red Riding Hood though or my next dream might have a big bad wolf." As the rain came pouring down the house appeared again. "Hey Sand Man? There is no way I'm going in some creepy shack. Just conjure up a few butterflies and a unicorn or something." I joked and looked around. "Yeah...no way am I going in there." I walked over to the lake and skipped a few rocks bored. "I've got a lovely bunch if coconuts.....there they are standing the road.....big ones, small ones, some as big as your head." I sung recounting the Lion King. Zazu sung that..... The lake started filling up with water and where I stood got extremely muddy and turned into a sink hole, pulling me down. "OH HELL NO." I stayed calm and summoned my will power to conjure up a tree with a low branch and grabbed it pulling myself into the tree and I jumped to a different branch weary of falling back in. I quickly hugged the tree trunk and shimmied down it then took off running away from the mud sink hole. As I ran the ground got harder to walk in turning into a swamp land and suddenly a tree was struck by lightening and caught on fire. "I see fire...." I stared at it seriously. "Hm.....how to get out of this one? Before the alligators show up.....knowing a swamp...." I glanced around me. I seen a marsh land a few feet off and the house appeared past it along with the field of flowers...It wasn't raining over there. Should I check it out? Or not? It's not raining....that's a plus. I steeled myself and started walking over to the marsh land to get to the field of flowers. "Well.....it's only a dream. It's not like I'm going to die or something." I reached the field and sat down in front of the house and stared at it, waiting for a sign of movement. After a few minutes, what felt like hours, I stood up and took a step to the house testing it. When I took a step it was like walking into a wall but able to go through it. The whole world flipped and I was in a hallway at the end was a door and it slammed shut. "Who'd I upset now?" I looked behind me down the other end of the hall. A dark shadow of a person stood leaned up against a wall.

"Welcome home." James said as he walked out of the shadow into light.

"Not again!" I took a step back. "Man....I need to see someone about my dreams...." I stared at him.

"HAHAAA! I could keep you asleep for days if I wanted...maybe I am doing it right now."

"No....it's only been.....an hour. Yeah, I've been asleep for an hour of my own free will. So no. You can't make me stay in this dream for days. Kid would wake me up anyways."

"You might be right." He started walking towards me.

"STAY BACK." I made a cross with my fingers. "Don't make me exorcise this place."

"Wow...what do you think I am, a vampire? I could be one if that is what you like." He gave an evil grin.

"No....I thought you were a honest demon straight out of hell sent to destroy me but ok. I'd take a vampire over that any day of the week." I shrugged.

"I could be both." He got close to me in arms reach and grabbed me pulling me in close to him. "This time I wont kill you, your going to be my little girl for the evening."

"I'm my own girl, RIGHT HONEY?" I asked myself and nodded. "Right, now why don't you step away from the crazy guy and come give me a kiss or something."

"Coo-coo." He muttered. "This girl is crazier then me. Good I wont feel bad then when I do kill her."

"Well.....I don't even have another side to me so BACK OFF." I ripped my arm from him and backed up a little. He tisked and shook his head then grabbed me and pulled me back and a knife appeared in his hand.

"Don't go anywhere....well...You cant. We could play chase and when I catch you I will do what I want with you." He smirked and let my arm go. "I will give you a minute head start." I gasped.

"What if I don't wanna play with you?" I started edging away.

"Too bad." He laughed. "One, two, three-" I took off running down the hall towards the door to get in and barricade it. The door disappeared and it became a wall and then the windows started to as well. I looked around wildly for a way out. Anyway. I saw a door and ran to it quickly and threw it open running in and slammed the door behind me and locked it moving a piece of furniture in front of it and ran down the stairs noticing the dark.

"Damn it.....He better not be able to teleport or anything. When I wake up, I am sooooo seeing a doctor.....maybe Stein." I seen the basement he had put me in when he kidnapped me and the room I woke up in. "NO WRONG DOOR." I started getting really scared again, all of the fear coming back stronger. I conjured a flashlight and a knife and shined the light back at the door to check it. It was still shut and the furniture was still in front of it. A hand slipped around my head and fell over my mouth and the knife was pulled away from me as I was quickly turned to face James and thrown up against a wall pinned and he then took the flashlight and threw it. It landed a few feet away and shinned on us like a spotlight. I stared at him in horror and backed up even more into the wall trying to get away from him. "No...that's not fair...."

"You said I was a vampire, so therefore I can teleport and all that good stuff like speed and-"

"You aren't a vampire. I curse you to be a beetle." I looked at the door and then back at him.

"I curse you to love me. I know, I will be beetlejuice and you can love me my little princess."

"Now you sound like Tamaki." I pushed him away. "Stay back."

"No! I decided to ruin your dreams and that is just what I will do." He smirked and then grabbed my arm looking at the arrow. "Wait a minute..."

"NO! LET ME GO! I don't wanna love you! SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP BEFORE HE KEEPS ME HERE!"

"NO DONT WAKE HER UP I WAS JUST....ST-" His voice faded as I was shaken awake by Kid. My eyes snapped open and I sat up quickly running to the door adrenaline in my veins from the dream but fell short when I tripped. Kid got to me quickly and kneeled down by me.

"What's wrong?" He pouted. "Another nightmare?" I hugged him as I sat up.

"It's nothing.....I'm just going to see Stein when we get back ok? Not a biggy."

"Sure." He held out a hand for me to take. "Come on the plane just landed." My breath caught in my throat and I backed away.

"We've landed?"

"Yeah. Still want to see Stein? He might kidnap you and that wouldn't be fun." Fade rushed in.

"COME ON COME ON COME ON! LET'S GO GO GO GO GO GO!" She helped me to my feet. "WE LANDED AND YAY! HOME SWEET HOME!" I laughed at her enthusiasm at being home again.

"Alright, calm down." I ran past her and grabbed my stuff wanting to be doing something instead of sitting around and ran off of the plane and kissed the ground. "I MISSED YOU DEATH CITY!"

"I MISSED YOU TO AS WELL DEATH CITY!" Fade yelled and ran past me to her car and threw her stuff into the trunk and got into the drivers seat.

"I'm coming! Hold up!" I put my stuff in the car and quickly got in. "TO THE HOUSE! I need to see Misty again!" Fade giggled and then took off driving to the party house and we made it there in a little under fifteen minutes and pulled up parking. I got out and ran in. "I'M HOME EVERYONE!" I giggled and ran upstairs. "

"I'M HOME TO!" Fade yelled and I heard shuffling around through the house.

"MAKA! MAKA MAKA MAKA!" I ran upstairs to Soul's room and threw the door open running in to see Maka and Soul playing Call of Duty.

"Oh hi Noire, back arlready?" Maka asked and Souls phone rang and he grabbed the phone and answered.

"Oh hi Kid... Camping? okay...Sure I will tell everyone to pack....She is right here in front of me...HEY NOIRE KID SAID HE LOVES YOU AND THAT HE WILL BE HOME SOON.....Yeah I will tell Fade....Bye bros." He hung up the phone.. "Maka we are going camping pack up okay?"

"And you, me and the other weapons are having a weapon meet when we get there!" I said remembering when I asked Soul to save me on account of Weapon Code.

"Yeah okay Noire."

"CAMPING! I WOULD LOVE TO!" Maka got up and then ran off down the hall.

"So....whatcha doing?" I sat down in the floor and looked up at the paused screen.

"Packing but we was playing a game." He got up and started packing a bag.

"Poor you. You have to pack. I don't." I watched him and got up leaving before I overstayed my welcome and ran downstairs to see Misty but I couldn't find her anywhere. "Misty?" I looked around my room and saw Thomas the cat licking his paw. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MISTY?" I picked him up and stared at him seriously. "You chased her off didn't you?" Thomas just staired at me and Fade walked in.

"Why is misty in my room and Thomas is in here?" She asked.

"Yeah, why Thomas?" I looked at him and walked over to Fade handing her cat to her and ran into her room picking up Misty. "Misty! I missed you!"

"So thanks to my dad I now have to pack a new bag of clothes." Fade said as she walked in and started doing so and Thomas hopped up onto her bed. I looked at her.

"Didn't I throw all of that.....stuff....in the trash at France?"

"Yeah, but I don't like anything in my bag to much so I am going to exchange stuff and put in some comfy clothes as well."

"Oh Kid said the cabin has some rooms with bunk beds and then there are like....two bedrooms in the basement with queen or twin sized beds.....I think he's planning something."

"Most likely he already planned something." Fade gulped.

"Think Black Star is going to take advantage of the woods and the other bedroom in the basement. I know I'm safe, but what about you?"

"AH! I need to buddy up quick... Maybe Alexander would help me out."

"Uh huh....no he wouldn't. He wants Thomas all to himself, the shippers won't help you, and Maka and Soul are too busy with each other. That leaves.....Cori.....Kyle.....me....and Kid."

"You and Kid are off the list."

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Looks like I am stuck asking help from Cori and Kyle."

"Why am I off the list?"

"Your gonna be with Kid, duh."

"Nuh uh. I'm sleeping with the girls."

"Then I am sleeping with them to."

"DEAL. Wanna bunk with me?"

"Sure!" Fade giggled and finished packing and threw the bag over her shoulder. "Let's go downstairs."

"But Kid, your boyfriend and the rest are probably already down there." I looked at the door nervously. And I don't want to explain my nightmare.

"I have a boyfriend?" She giggled. "Come on their probably waiting on us."

"Ok." I stood up and walked out of the room downstairs with Fade behind me and when I reached the bottom of the stairs, everyone was waiting on us. "We have....arrived." I bowed a little.

"YAY!" The shippers started cheering.

"And you are not seeing any Kino right now." I stood up straight and looked at them.

"We know." Liz smirked evily.

"No Blade either." I walked over to Fade remembering what I overheard and started whispering in her ear.

"The shippers planned out our demise." I said quietly. "I heard them on the plane. They plan to trap us for the guys."

"Hey everyone Noire and I are going to take my car alone." Fade said quickly. I nodded and glanced at the shippers nervously.

"Okay! Lets load up!" Soul said and ran out the door.

"CAMPING!" I ran out the door after him giggling and got into Fade's car buckling up. Fade got into the car and buckled up then turned the music and car on. She waited on Kid to get in his car and lead the way then followed him. "So how shall we avoid the shippers?"

"Well you do realize....If we sleep with the girls their like all shippers...they wont do anything though right?"

"Tsubaki, Liz, and Patti will. This is their meisters' happiness on the line." I said.

"Darn weapons...Don't you be like them understand me Noire?" She glanced at me.

"Don't fight for your happiness? That's weird."

"Shhhh or I will help out Kid more often."

"Yes milady." I got real quiet and looked at her. "So.....don't be like them? Let you fight your own battles for happiness?"

"Right." She nodded.

"Alright...I will do what you ask then....." Fade smiled and giggled, after a few hours we arrived at the cabin in the woods.
