~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~






Johnny looked around for any way to get up the amp, not quite knowing how Kari had gotten up there in the first place.   Considering the amp was 50 or so something feet high.

He noticed a set of stairs leading up the side of the amp.  “Of course, they’re painted black, that’s why I almost didn’t see them...” Nny muttered and began climbing.  

When he got up Kari had stopped crouching and had stood up, her back facing him.  “Kari! What are you doing?! Let’s get down from here and meet up with Rayen, Squeegee and Pepito.” Johnny walked carefully over to her, not wanting to frighten her.  

She turned around and Nny nearly backed away from her.  Her dark green eyes were sharp and held an insane almost manic look to them.  “Why? What are you going to do? Make me?” Her lips curved into a sadistic smile.  

“You can’t scare me Johnny C. I know exactly who you are...I know what you’re afraid of...I know a lot about you then you think I do...I’m not stupid, and despite what you think, I’m not really all I say I am.”  

Kari straightened her position, tightening her grip on the blades.   “Johnny...tell me, what do you think Devi would do if she hears...” Johnny stood his ground; Kari was much different; maybe this was her real personality...just like Rayen had said.  

“Hears what?” Johnny clasped his hand around the hilt of his blade, he didn’t like the idea he had to fight her to get her to stop but at least he’d keep her blades busy trying to talk to her, maybe it could work.

Kari grinned.  “That along with this entire club...I’ve also killed you?” Johnny didn’t have much time before Kari had lunged at him, blades out in front of her.

He barely managed to jump out of the way and block one of her blades with his, knocking her other blade out of her hand with his elbow.  Kari growled under her breath and jumped back from him.  

“You’re going easy on me Johnny; this isn’t what you’re capable of...” Kari observed crossing her arms over her chest.  Johnny dropped his arm to his side breathing quickly after Kari’s little attack.

“You’re a perfect killing machine; you’ve done it before, why not now?” Kari asked, an innocent look in her manic stricken eyes.

“I don’t want to hurt you Kari, why are you doing this? What happened to you?!” Kari laughed cruelly at his words.  “Why? You want to know why? Because like you Johnny, I despise the world, I hate them for doing what they did to me!”

“I hate god most of all for taking away the only two things that ever made me consider changing my mind!! They took away my mother, and they took away Sora, and as much as I love Devi she is NOT either of them!” Kari drew a sharp intake of breath then.

“I’m tired of locking myself up, I’m tired of listening to that sweet innocent little bitch you’ve been spending time with, and I’m sick of listening to you...Johnny, you can’t stop, he won’t let you...just like he won’t let me...it’s just so much easier to give up Nny.”


Kari grinned her eyes glinting with malice, laughing at what was to be said next. “We’re always a slave to something...aren’t we?” Kari lifted a brow, her face set into an amused crooked smile at the same words spoken by Rev. Meat.

Johnny through her speech became silent.   “Kari is this how you really are? Sadistic, homicidal...angry? I much preferred talking to your sweeter side, and I still don’t know why you’re like this? What did Rayen mean by medication?”

Kari chuckled at his serious face.  “That would be the medication that fucked up asylum gave me, it’s to suppress my REAL personality, my emotions, what sets me off, those kind of things, but sometimes I’m completely forgetful, and I go a day without taking them, but this has been three days today...and I’m not taking them anymore...”

Johnny shook his head.  “And what has society done to you today? I’m even enjoying myself as disbelieving and out of charactor as that seems! Please Kari! Drop the blades and let’s go home...”  Kari backed slowly further away from him.

“You don’t get it do you? They’ll never change! You above all else would agree with me if you weren’t so dumb-struck with what-ifs! Face it, you and I both know that those vile things can’t and won’t change! They’re all the same, in fact, we’re lucky we know only so many nice people...because I’d have killed off every emotion in me to forget...”  

Kari uncrossed her arms and tapped the blade against the middle of her palm, an almost thoughtful look on her face.

“I never liked blood...did you know that? I always thought it meant sure death to those close to me...and I was right...when he slit his own throat, I thought he loved me, I suppose I was wrong...”

Kari closed her eyes a moment.  She opened them again glaring into Nny’s dark eyes.

Kari lunged again at Nny watching his movements closely.  Nny panicked at the last second and moved aside, almost losing balance and toppling of the side.   “Kari I reeeeeeaaaally don’t want to do this!”

Kari smirked and swiped at him again, this time nicking the skin of his lower arm.  “I believe you don’t have a choice Mr. C!” Kari jumped back blocking his incoming blow.  “Johnny you’d do well to just stop going easy and really fight me!”

Kari’s smirk turned to a frown quickly, her green eyes sharp. “And on that note, fight BACK!”  Kari snapped leaping at him with an unseen force.

Johnny jumped back several feet, eyes hardening.  “Kari please stop this! This is ridiculous!!” Kari snorted.   “Ridiculous? Johnny, you’re being ridiculous, open your eyes. Is humanity really worth protecting?” He blocked her blade, trying to push it out of her hand.  

Kari chortled.  “Are you still trying to convince me to quit it? Nny, by now, I’d thought you’d understand my ideas before you let society break you!” Johnny growled pushing back when she had begun pushing the blades towards him.

“I would have Kari! I want to change! I don’t think ALL humanity is wasted! Please try to come to your senses and listen to me!!!” Kari threw her arms up in the air unexpectedly and brought her right elbow down, catching Johnny off guard for a moment.

Johnny, trying to stay away from as much of the hit as possible, skidded back, crouching so he could catch his breath, his cheek throbbing when she had made slight contact.  

Kari panted, several feet away from him.   She looked over at the edge of the amp.   Kari smirked again and raised her arm over her head scouting out anyone in particular in range.  

Nny, noticing what she was looking at, tried to stand up, but the pain in his arm from when she had nicked him caught up to him and he looked at his slight wound for the first time.  Johnny noticed for a small cut it was bleeding pretty badly.

He winced and stood up fully, eyeing the girl in front of him wearily. Kari’s eyes turned towards him, the same sadistic smile planted on her lips.   

“Johnny, it’s been fun, but now I’m serious, weather you like it or not, you’re always going to be the same homicidal psycho as before, and pretty soon, you’re gonna follow him just as I have!”

Kari raised her arm again from when she had dropped it and aimed for no one in particular. As she was about to throw the dagger something sounded off in her head.

The throbbing in her head caused the knife to fall from her hands with a clatter.  Kari cried out in pain as she fell to her knees, her hands flying to her head, her entire frame shaking.

Johnny, realizing something was wrong, and sensing she wasn’t a threat any longer walked slowly to her, holding his arm in the process to keep the blood from dripping further down his arm.

“...Kari? Kari are you all right?”  Kari cried out again, her eyes fluttering closed as she let out a whimper and finally fainted.  Johnny turned around when he heard voices and saw Squee’s head first, and then the rest of him as Pepito and Rayen quickly joined him on the roof of the amp.

Todd’s eyes widened when he saw Nny bleeding and Kari fainted.  “Nny what the hell happened?!” Rayen squeaked rushing to Kari’s side. Squee inspected Nny’s arm while Pepito looked around the amp when he spotted the three dropped knives.

Rayen took off one of Kari’s black ribbons and tossed it over to Pepito who handed it to Squee.  He tied the ribbon securely around Johnny’s arm making sure to add pressure to keep the wound from bleeding more.

“Thanks...Rayen, is Kari all right?”   Rayen nodded tucking a stand of her bright red hair behind her ear.  “She’s breathing at least, I think she’s just fainted is all, what happened?  Did anyone get hurt beside you?”

Johnny shook his head, his gaze lingering on Kari’s face.  ‘Kari what did you mean? What happened to you...?’ The sound of the Invader ZIM theme song caught everyone’s attention.

Rayen saw Kari’s cell phone at the edge of her pocket and grabbed it.  She tossed it to Nny and waited for him to acknowledge she’d thrown something at him.  

He flipped it open cautiously, glaring at Rayen for catching him off guard.   “Kari? Hello?” Johnny’s heart nearly stopped and he sighed with relief when he heard Devi’s voice on the other line.   

“No Devi it’s me what’s wrong?” Johnny replied mouthing to Rayen who it was.  He heard her sigh.  “Oh thank god! I’m about a day in half’s worth from home right now, I’m heading back...”

Nny could tell something was wrong in the way she spoke almost hurriedly.   “Devi are you okay? You seem kinda...antsy...”  Devi chuckled on the other line.

“I’m a little jumpy is all, when I went to Kari’s house it was as if no one was home, the house was completely empty, felt like some crazy fucked up horror movie too.”

Devi sighed and muttered something Nny couldn’t hear.  “Anyways I tried calling Kari’s cell but I was out of service I guess, because my call kept not going through.”

“Sorry about that, I don’t think we would have answered anyways, she insists we go over to Squeegee’s every now and then” Devi laughed softly.  

“Sweet, okay, its good hearing your voice again, how’s the she-devil now?” Johnny bit his lip, looking at the unconscious Kari in front of him.

“She’s uh...asleep actually, we just got back from the club she dragged me to with her friend from her work.” Devi was unusually quiet for a moment before she cleared her throat.  

“Aww, okay well, I’m probably not going to be back until late tomorrow night okay? I’ll try and get there as early as I can, she must’ve been quite the handful all ready!” Johnny laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.  

“No, not really but its good you’re coming back, she misses you a lot” Devi chuckled softly.  “Well when she wakes up tell her I’m on my way and that I miss her too, *chuckle* be good until I get back!”

“Yeah, sure, I’ll see you when you get here.” “Okay, bye!” Johnny shook his head smiling a bit.  “Okay bye!” He hung up and flipped the phone closed, tossing it back to Rayen who put it back in Kari’s pocket.

“Sooo” Johnny groaned.  “I just had to fight with Devi’s cousin! I reeeeeeaaaally don’t want to talk about it!”

Rayen laughed. ‘I wasn’t asking about Kari if you catch my drift!” Rayen winked and laughed at the glare Nny was sending her.  “None of your business if you catch MY drift!” Johnny snapped a red tint flittering across his face.

“Lets get back now, I’m exhausted!” Rayen motioned for Squee to help her with lifting Kari.  Squee slung her across his back, deciding a piggy back would be better then having two people carry her.  “Let’s go out the parking lot exit, it’d look weird if we did it any other way” Nny sighed.

Rayen cleared her throat.  “Yeah good idea...Let’s get going” They went down the amp stairs one at a time and headed out the parking lot exit.  Rayen sighed and patted Kari’s head before being walked over to her car by Pepito.  “I’ll drive ya home if you want?”

Pepito nodded waving goodbye to Todd and Johnny.  The two males waved goodbye as they watched Rayen pull out of the parking lot and drive away.

The two headed down the sidewalk moving quickly through the darkened streets.   Squee looked over his shoulder, wondering what could have caused Kari to freak out like she did.  “Hey Nny?” Johnny looked over at Squee with an inquisitive look.

“Yeah? What’s wrong?”  Squee looked ahead of him a frown on his face.  “What happened up there on the amp?” Johnny sighed looking over at Kari and signing more.  

“We talked and then she spazzed and lunged at me, I managed to avoid getting seriously hurt and no I didn’t hurt her either” Johnny raked a hand through his hair.

Squee sighed.  “Nny?” Johnny looked at him from the corner of his eye.  “Yeah?” Squee’s frown deepened.  “Let’s just go...”  Johnny sighed again clasping his hands behind his head.  ‘Sure thing Squeegee, let’s go”








Weeeeeeell how was it? Okay? I hope so less I find angry reviewers at my door with pitchforks and torches! Not to mention rotten fruit at the ready!

*Get’s beaten by a bunch of rotten fruit* @__@

Owwwww Okay! Okay! I get the picture no more fight scenes! Sheesh!  See ya!

Lovez and Hugz
