Ky and Jer collapsed on the couches, each gasping for breath. Ky swung her legs over the back of the couch and let her head hang on the other side. "What are you doing?" Jer asked.
"I'm making the blood rush to my head."
"Ky, you don't have blood anymore," Jer snickered.
"Oh yeah..." Ky said, pulling herself up. She set her head on the arm rest. "I'm tired..."
"Me too." Ky curled up in a ball.
"G'night," she muttered, pulling a blanket from the back of the couch. Jer giggled and spread out on the loveseat (yes, I own one; I know what it's called).
"Night..." he whispered back.
--
"Ky! Ky! Come on, Ky! Wake up!" Ky blinked and looked up at Jer. He looked really worried. "We need to leave here, now!"
"What's going on?" Jeremy didn't answer her but just started pulling on her hand. "Jer!"
"No time! Come on!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the front door. Jer looked back and picked Ky up by her waist and ran as fast as he could.
BBOOOOOMM.
Jer froze and turned around slowly. Ky wriggled out of his arms and stared at the desolate area that was once her grandmother's house. She rushed back to the rubble.
"Ky! Wait!" Jer screamed after her. She didn't listen to him and pulled out the Soul Robber. She swung it around and started pulling things away.
"It's gotta be here somewhere!" she screamed, getting on her hands and knees. She threw bits of rubble and wood every where. Her fingers clasped around something small. "Found it..." she slipped it in her pocket and turned back to Jer.
"What was that all about?" he asked. Ky pulled out the small bronze amulet. "This?!"
"It's a family thing." Jer decided it best not to ask more about it and just shrugged.
"Whatever you say, Ky." She stuck it back in her pocket and looked up.
"Jer, how did you know the house was going to collapse?" Ky asked. Jer shrugged again.
"It just didn't seem safe to stay in there."
"Oh. Okay. Can we go back to Halloween town?"
"Why?"
"It's just... Something I need to do..." Jer stared at her, then nodded.
"Okay..."
--~Insert FFX 'I'd Like to Say Everything'~--
Ky walked around the desolate town, tears streaming down her face. She opened the door of her Manor and felt her heart just fall apart. Jer stepped in after her, watching her shoulders shake fiercely.
"Ky?" he asked. She shook her head sadly.
"It's all my fault... I let Oogie do this..."
"That's not true!" Jeremy shouted at her. She shook her head again.
"Yes it is, I let him know my weakness. He destroyed the town, because he wanted me to suffer. He knew that the Town was the most important thing to me... So he took it and everyone with it..."
Jer stared at her, watching the girl fall to pieces. He stepped in front of her and set his hands on her shoulders. "That isn't true, Ky. You know it isn't. You and I both know that Oogie's just a jerk and always wanted to have control over the towns. That's why he took them."
She raised her aquamarine eyes up to meet his chocolate ones. "Thank you..." she whispered. Jer smiled and took his hands off her shoulders. Ky wiped her eyes and looked at her best friend. "You're right. Oogie is just a jerk and the Town wouldn't want me to fall to pieces."
"Of course they wouldn't."
--
Oogie growled and threw a rock at Marcus. "That boy's more trouble than he's worth to us! We could've been rid of that wretched girl if it wasn't for him!" Marcus caught the rock and walked over to Oogie.
"Calm down, Master. They are completely unaware of the other plans."
"That's not why I'm worried, they will soon find out our other secrets."
"Ah, the niece and the other boy..."
"We must ensure they never find out about them."
--
Jack was very upset; Oogie had told him, and him alone, his plan. He knew his daughter would give up her own freedom for others. She had done it before, and he knew she would do it again.
He pleaded to leave Ky alone and just kill him instead. Oogie had just laughed at him and threw him at a wall.
'I'm so sorry, Ky...'
--
Ky pulled herself under the wrecked craft and handed Jer the piece. Jer had figured that they should fix it in order to get around the Hinterlands faster. Ky's inspid fingers wrapped around a broken part and pulled it out. Jer moaned as it hit his head.
"Oh! Jer..." she giggled, oil was dripping down the side of his face. He glared at her.
"Ha, ha, ha." Ky burst out laughing and punched his arm playfully. Jer smirked and pulled out the oil plug. Oil squirted everywhere. They both screamed and laughed as they were sprayed with the slimy liquid. (This sounds like something we should really do! It looks fun.)
Ky shoved a cloth in the oil container and they looked at each other. Ky's hair was streaked black-brown from the oil and her clothes were stained. Jer looked no better, though his face was covered with more oil than her's was. They both laughed and continued working on the craft.
Neither of them could look at each other with out laughing.
--
Several hours later, the hover craft floated in front of them in perfect working condition. Ky smacked her hand down on Jer's. (They're both clean now thanks to their Magic).
"Let's roll," Jer said, swinging his leg over the seat. Ky pulled herself behind him and gripped the bars again. "Hey, it's working!" The craft zoomed up twenty feet in the air and flew forward.
"If we're lucky, we might find out where Oogie is now that we can go faster!" Ky called over the sound of the wind. Jer nodded and flew the ship in a loop.
Their adventure continued.
--
Not one of my better chapters but... I can't really give the ending right now... CAUSE IT'S A REALLY COOL ENDING AND I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU YET!!
Sora: Promise me you won't sing anymore.
Ky: but... I likes to sing! *get's death glare* Fine...
