I don't own characters, ext. Well...Here it is. The final chapter. It all ends here. Sorry Brodick is gay. I understand yaoi upsets some people. Honestly, I don't know why it's a problem in this story. It's not like Raguna loves him back. Isn't yaoi when two guys love each other. Like, mutally?
BUT, Brodick gets what's comin' to him in this chapter. So please, read on...
Raguna stared blankly at Brodick for a half-second.
"What?" He finally screeched.
"I…Love you."
"Oh god. This can't be happening." Raguna moaned. Brodick was looking ashamed. But Raguna had bigger problems. The ten girls were swimming-SWIMMING-across the lake. Raguna shoved Brodick aside and began to climb the beanstalk. Brodick sniffled and then got angry.
"How could you leave me like this? HOW COULD YOU!!!!!" Raguna winced and climbed faster.
He reached the top and collapsed in a heap on the ground. He was breathing heavily. It was four thirty. Iris and Iris wouldn't be awake for another hour and a half. What was he going to do until then? He couldn't live up here.
He stood up and went to the Tower Of Rest. He did have food. Maybe he could live here for a few days.
He walked up to go see Iris and Iris sleeping. It was sometimes what he did if it was right before they were going to wake up. But they were already awake.
White Iris was painting; Black Iris was watering the flowers.
"Raguna?" White Iris noticed him first. Raguna smiled and took out some Tomato juice, but didn't give it to her.
"Will you guys…Can I stay here a while?"
"Of course." Black Iris came over to him. "Stay as long as you want."
"Thanks." Raguna handed White Iris the tomato juice. She smiled widely. Black Iris looked hurt.
"It's really crazy down there." Raguna said, pointing to the ground.
"Raguna Fever?" Black Iris guessed.
"Y-yeah. How did-"
"The noise woke us up." White Iris explained.
"Oh. Sorry."
"It isn't your fault." Black Iris said. "But…Viruses travel quickly."
"And far." White Iris added.
"We caught it." They said in unison.
"GAHHH!!!" Raguna yelled, rushing toward the stairs. But both Irises jumped nimbly at him, closing in. They attached themselves around his waist and neck and refused to let go.
"Stay here with us!"
"Please! Stay here!"
"Your safe here!"
"We love you!"
"This isn't love, its obsession!" Raguna said, stumbling toward the exit, both Irises still dragging him down in a sea of infatuation.
He lurched to the door and opened it, letting in the light from the sunset.
"AHH!" Both Irises leaped back in shock and pain.
"Raguna!" Black Iris sniffed.
"Come back!" White Iris whined.
"Sorry!" Raguna called back sincerely. He didn't know if he was apologizing for leaving or for letting in the sun. Because he didn't feel so bad about leaving. He climbed quickly down the beanstalk, not watching below him.
The girls-and Brodick-were watching the beanstalk.
"Now!" Rosetta yelled. Brodick took out his sword and began to cut the bean stalk.
"ACK!" Raguna yelled. Each girl seemed to have brought a weapon. The began hacking and whacking at the beanstalk. It fell over and toppled into Lake Poli. Raguna bobbed up and began swimming to shore.
"Get 'im!" Bianca wailed, running to the edge of the water. Raguna clambered out and ran down the mountain path. This wasn't happening. It wasn't. He ran past the South District, past his own house, and onto the Church District.
He burst into the church. Sister Stella was waiting there, reading from the Sermon book.
"Hello." She said.
"Is there someplace to hide? I need to hide! This is nuts!" Raguna screamed.
"Something wrong?" Sister Stella asked.
"All the girls! And Brodick…"
"Oh yes. Raguna Fever."
"You know?"
"It's hard not to." Sister Stella flipped a page in the book.
"How…I can't stand it." Raguna sunk into a pew chair.
"I know the cure." Sister Stella said simply.
"Really? What is it? Tell me!" Raguna practically grabbed the front of her shirt and shook her. He heard footsteps outside the church. He dove behind the podium Stella was standing on. The door burst open.
"Is he here?" He heard Rosetta shout.
"Who?" Sister Stella asked innocently.
"Don't play games, woman! We know you know who we are talking about!" Bianca screeched.
"Tell us!" Eunice bellowed.
"Raguna? I don't know. He wasn't here. I think I saw him go to the beach, though." Sister Stella carelessly flipped another page.
"Quickly! To the beach!" Brodick said loudly. Footsteps marched out of the church, and the door slammed behind them. Raguna peeked his head over the podium tentatively.
"Are they gone?" Raguna asked.
"Yes." Sister Stella shrugged.
"How do I get them to stop this?" Raguna asked. Sister Stella reached into a pocket and drew out a plant with multiple leaves in different colors. Raguna took it greedily.
"Just give one to each of them." Sister Stella said. Raguna nodded and ran out of the church.
What he saw frightened him. All the girls were stationed at different points. Lara was next to the infirmary.
"HA! FOUND YOU!" She cried. Raguna tore off a leaf and shoved it in her mouth. She made a small gagging noise and coughed lightly. She looked up at him.
"…Oh dear. I'm so sorry Raguna. I didn't mean…"
"Don't worry Lara. You were sick." Raguna smiled. Lara was blushing fiercely.
"I really am sorry. I didn't mean to become so infatuated with you. Please, take this." She handed him an Energy Drink. Raguna took it and put it in his sack.
"I will pray you will not need it to deal with…certain things." She sighed. Raguna nodded and went to the clock tower. Cinnamon stood there. When she saw him, she let out a happy gasp. Raguna plucked a leaf off and tossed it in her mouth.
"…wha….oh." She whispered. Raguna nodded and smiled. He turned to go. He had already planned out a route. It was simple. He would go through town, then to the south district, and then finally to Whale Island. After that he would go to Mist's. He turned to go see Selphy. He could vaguely see her outside the library.
"…Sorry…" Cinnamon said as he left.
"Don't worry about it." Raguna shook his head. Then he set off to give the plant to the other girls.
* * * * * * * *
Raguna stumbled toward his house. Everyone was done. All thirteen girls had been given the plant. There was no more left. Both Irises had been tricky, they had gotten mad when the other got a plant. But then it got settled, and they were fine.
Brodick was waiting outside the door.
Oh no. Raguna winced. The plant was all gone. What was he going to do? And Bianca had nearly trampled him. He was too tired to fight Brodick off.
"Raguna…?"
"Brodick please! Don't-"Brodick ran at him and hugged him. Raguna screamed and struggled. But Brodick was too strong. He put his nose to Raguna's hair.
"You smell pretty."
"I feel…Violated." Raguna shuddered. He started to wonder if the torment would ever end.
"Hey DICK-FACE!" The cry came from behind him. Raguna turned to see Annette with her mail bag dangling threateningly in front of her.
"Hands off our man!" Eunice yelled.
"Yes! Release him at once!" Uzuki chimed. Brodick laughed.
"Or what? You girls gonna stop me? Raguna is MINE!"
"GET HIM!!!" Melody yelled, waving her broom in the air. All the girls started to chase Brodick, who yelped and began to run away. All the girls followed him except Mist.
"Don't worry Raguna." She said in her melodic voice. "He won't ever hurt you again." Then she ran off after the others. Raguna let out a strangled laugh and flopped back into his house, onto his bed. He let out a relived sigh and drifted off to sleep to the sounds of Brodick getting the snot kicked out of him.
Haha! That's what you get Brodick. Bwa ha ha! Those girls don't let anyone come between them and their man, do they? XD
Comment! Peace!c(:
