Section Two;Part Six:  This is Goodbye...

I feel a lot better now after a nice walk around the city.  My mind was finally off of Xaria.  I realized that Gabe can just keep that mentally psycho whore.  She's permanently out of my life now.  It's been two weeks since the incident.  She is still unsure of me, ever since I threatened her as well as Jake.  Sarah and I are slightly talking again but we're just showing mutual respect towards each other.  Last time I talked to her on the phone, she was experiencing morning sickness and had a few cravings here and there.  She did tell Jake about her unexpected pregnancy and he completely freaked out.  Knowing Jake, he wasn't quite ready to be a father.  He's still his goofy self sometimes.  He was also mad and wanted Sarah to get an abortion.

Knowing Sarah, she would never do that, because she believes that it's murder.  She was at borderline going to do it, but in the end, she didn't.  Honestly, I think Sarah should have gotten an abortion.  I'm agreeing with Jake?  Now that's a shocker.  Sarah was also talking to me about giving the baby up for adoption, even though she really doesn't want to deep down.  Those two can't financially afford it.  Jake has a job at Benihana's as a server while Sarah is currently working in a small company.  Her hours have been cut back though.

As I came home from my walk, I relaxed on the couch.  I grabbed a small remote to turn on my boom box that plays my iPod that was on shuffle.  "Ice Queen" by Within Temptation came onto the play list.  Within Temptation is one of my all time favorite bands.  My mind drifted off to other things as I relaxed on the couch.  I feel relieved now that the weight has been lifted from my shoulders.  My new family has been so good to me.  I'm slowly starting to trust The Corvins, especially Mrs. Corvin who is like a motherly figure to me.  I cranked up the volume on the boom box and went to my room.  There were many candles in my room that I always light up in the night time.  Over the weeks, I redecorated my room.

As I slightly dimmed the lights, my cell phone rang.  I grabbed the cell off my dresser, realizing it was Sarah trying to call me.  I rolled my eyes and answered the phone.

"What is it, Sarah?"

Sarah sighed over the phone.  She wasn't surprised about my current attitude.

"What a surprise..." Sarah responded in a sarcastic matter. "Being cold and unfriendly as usual..."

I couldn't help but slightly snicker when she said that.  She really amuses me every time she says that.  Sure we were once best friends, but that's all out the window now.  I only show her mutual respect.  No more than that.

"How amusing, Sarah." I slightly chuckled as I talked to her.  "You've really changed ever since you discovered that you were pregnant."

"Kaori,  what has happened to you?  Why are you acting so strange?"  Sarah began to question me with deep concern.  Why was she doing this?  I am no longer the girl she once knew.  "Kaori, I know we've been getting into many fights lately, but please... I don't want it to end like this.  No matter what, you're still my best friend.  Even Jake is starting to worry."

"Sarah... the woman you once knew... is dead."  

I couldn't help but slightly shed some tears.  It looks like this was goodbye between the three of us.  The three musketeers were breaking up.  It was for a good reason.  I don't want to hurt either Sarah or Jake if they ended up getting too close to me.  Especially Sarah in her condition.  I was pushing them away for now.  Maybe one day, we'll be together again.  I could never forgive myself if I ended up harming my two bese friends, even worse.

"Kaori... Kaori... please answer me!"

Sarah began to cry over the phone as she grew more worried.  Her worries and concerns were eating away at her or it could be the mood swings she's currently having due to her pregnancy.  I sadly let out a sigh.

"Sarah... calm down..." I answered back over the phone. "You have to listen to me and listen well..."

Sarah began to slowly calm down as I talked to her.  She was still pretty upset, but I kept telling her to calm down so she can be able to listen to me.  I've never seen her this upset before.  The poor woman must really care about me, no matter what I'm going through.  I grew silent for a moment until she was completely calm.

"Ok, Kaori... what do you have to say?"

I began to shed even more tears, being hesitant to tell her.  I had no choice now.  I had to face the problem instead of running away.  I let out another sad sigh.

"Sarah-chan... no matter what I say to you, you and Jake-kun will always be my best friends..." I gripped onto my cell even tighter and my hand was slightly shaking. "Eversince you and Jake-kun become my best friends back in junior high along with Nagisa-sama... I was the happiest girl ever...  but you have to realize now... that things change... people change..."

"Wh-What are you talking about?"  Sarah began to grow a bit curious about what I was saying.  She seemed a bit confused. "I hope it's not about Xaria again..."

"It's not... I'm over that mentally psycho whore..."

"Good."

Sarah was so relieved that I finally let go of that psycho bitch that I once crushed over.  I was relieved myself.  For a moment we were getting off subject and shook my head so I would stop thinking about it.  I got back on the subject.

"We're getting off track here, Sarah..." I responded in a slight lecture.

"Oh... I apologize"

"Alright... anyways... the only reason I haven't been getting too close to you is because I don't want to hurt you again as well as Jake-kun..."  I cried a little bit.  "You both have to stay as far away from me as possible to avoid being hurt or threatened in any way..."

"Why?"  Sarah began to cry.  " Kaori, You didn't mean all of that stuff!"

"Please Sarah... I'm begging you and Jake... keep your distance from me!"  I pleaded her.  "If I end up hurting you both, I will never forgive myself..."

I was crying my heart out as I begged and pleaded Sarah to grant my wishes of keeping her distance from me as well as Jake's.  It was all over.  Our friendship, everything.  I was closing the book.  Sarah was upset about all of this but she was starting to understand the concept.

"So... Is this goodbye?"

"Not forever... maybe one day, the three musketeers will be together again..."

Sarah let out a depressing sigh.  She didn't want to leave me deep down but there was no other choice.  She decided to grant my wishes.

"... Fine... this is goodbye... I thought we were going to be friends til the end... but I was wrong... I was wrong about you... Kaori Shikagami..."

After that, Sarah hung up on me and then I hung up after that.  Our friendship has officially ended.  I was going to delete her's and Jake's number later on.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I am back in action.

I have awaken once again.  Her empire will rise and will be back to like it was before.  She seeks fresh blood of those with pure hearts.  Her former self has now passed and a new life is now born.  She is now within the darkness and her soul has been drained.  It's out with the old Lightning Empress and in the new and darker one. In conclusion, I now only seek pure darkness that feeds my black heart to survive.  There's a new empress on the block and she won't take shit from anyone.

Cheers!  Finally that yarimon, Lyea, along with her baka partner are off of our backs.  Those two were more like company stooges if you asked me.  Especially the devil's bitch herself, Lyea williams who just only used the company for sabotage.  "It's 'Business'." she says as she tries to get rid of her other co-owner.  Yeah, business my ass.  She only wanted Free to defeat Darling because she favorites him a lot.  Fucking whore.  I'm actually relieved that Hartmann had returned to fulfill his duties.  There's hope right there.

My new family has been so great to me.  The Corvins understand me as well as seeing right through me.  It's like they can read me like a book.  Especially Mrs. Corvin who took me under her wing.  Honestly, I still don't fully trust The Corvins ever since I joined their group, but we finally got our revenge on that Hell's Bitch, Eden Turner along with her dick head husband, Nick Toretto.  I just loved the smell of blood on your forehead, Turner.  I hoped you and your baka husband enjoy your little bloody fairytale, because it's not over yet.  Both yours and Toretto's blood belongs to us now.  I actually want  to congratulate my new family on winning the tag team titles at Hell and Back.  They even proved The Elect wrong.

Mr. RHane and I along with The Corvins make one powerful team.  Together, we will become an all powerful empire.

Cecilla, be afraid, be very afraid because I am back in the house.  Oh wait, I think you were already afraid when The Corvins kicked your sorry ass as well your little playboy's.  The Elect equals Epic Fail, follow by Turner and Toretto.  Castille and Cecilla, you both amuse me when you were trying to go for the longest reigning of the tag team titles, trying to surpass the legendary Thundercats.  That's another fail.  Props to both of you.

Moving on now...

This week in Violence, I am facing a newcomer known as Carly Aspen.  Don't really know much about this chick, but watch out, bitch, just because you're new here doesn't mean I won't be sparring your life.  To me, it sounds like you got your first name off of that kiddie show, iCarly. This is a complete joke, with that kind of name it makes me think of that lame show where you're making a web show just so you can be famous online.  In Violence this week,  I am going to show you what a true warrior is all about.  Draw out your sword, because I'm coming after you.  You don't know me and I don't know you but in this week's Violence, we're going to dance until only one is left standing.  It's the dance of death.

I may not be that strong like Jack Darling or evil like Free was, but I still have my thoughts and beliefs.  However, I was amused when Darling had to bow down for Free.  That was gold right there.  That shows that Darling has some vulnerability, especially when it comes to his precious daughter.  But now that Free is out of the picture, Darling is now the ultimate disease.   When Free let out his screams, it was music to my ears.  Aspen, you better watch out and you better cry, you better shout, telling you why, the darkness is coming to town.

Once I take you down this week, Aspen,  I will no longer be the dishonored one I once was.  The only one who a complete disgrace to all is the one and only Gabe Shelley.  Shelley, you can just keep that mentally psycho bitch for all I care.  She was just extra weight bringing me down.  She can just be your play toy now and prance around you like Mary sunshine.  I don't give a fuck if Xaria got locked up in an asylum forever.  I would actually be happy if that ever happened to her.  Honestly, you both are perfect for each other. How wonderful.  How pathetic.  You disgust me.  This week, I will become one with the darkness.  Aspen, I will show you who I really am and that it's not just some stupid web show you're hosting.

I will rise once again and so will my new empire.  She will rise to the top without anyone getting in her way.  She has the soul of destruction and a corrupted mind.  All of the common people despise her because of her cold and ruthless attitude, but to the empress, she shows no mercy.  She just loves to cause destruction and make everyone miserable.  Pain and misery will always make her happy.

This will be your last web cast, Aspen, because I am coming to permanently shut down your little comedy web show.  Either fight like a samurai or die like a samurai, your choice, but until then... enjoy your cute little web cast.  Don't underestimate me now, because...

I am your worst nightmare...
