A/N: My summer vacation began so that means updates will be more frequent and hopefully my writing will perhaps improve, no promises. Thank you to all my reviewers and to the silent readers. I hope this chapter isn't too awful.
" Six freakin' days and still nothing." Rempo cussed to himself lightly, before resting gloomily on the rock on top of Sunny Hill. " Forget her, I don't need her. I'm Rempo, the powerful fire spirit." Rempo said loudly attempting to show his old fiery personality without breaking down over the fact that he was nothing short of miserable.
Rempo smiled contently and his proud tone. 'See, Rempo, your getting over her, no big deal.'
" Tia, I love you! Would you please be my girlfriend?" Rempo lifted his head rapidly and stared at Duran's figure, holding the a flower from his hat and speaking to a tree stump.
"Your shitting me, he isn't planning on asking her to be his girlfriend!" Rempo hissed to himself, watching heatedly from the stone he was lounging upon.
" You've got to do this, Duran, be strong! Heroes don't back out!" Duran cleared his throat then recited that little phrase that got Rempo's blood boiling.
" Tonight, Duran, tonight. No backing out now. It's now or never." Duran squeezed his eyes shut an began repeating that to himself.
" I'm going to break this kid in half!" Rempo muttered fiercely to himself.
" Tia, I love you, I love you, I love you." Duran yelled grinning. " I can do this. I love her! I want this!"
" Third law of spirits, do not harm humans, they aren't as powerful as you." Rempo snarled, temper rising by the second.
" I'll show her how much she's inspired me to be a real hero, to not back out, I love her. I will do this." Duran smiled shakily before turning around and marching down the hill.
Rempo breathed heavily muttering numerous curses at the same time.
" Duran, doesn't deserve her! He's out of his damn mind if he thinks I'd ever let her end up with him as long as I'm still alive and running. Screw being upset with her, I'm going over there." Rempo fluttered upward and then went straight down the path to Tia's home.
XXXXXX
" Let's get this over with, Rempo." Rempo knocked and waited patiently. No answer. " Hmm? What he hell?" Rempo knocked again this time with more force. Nothing. " She's either ignoring me or…." He lowered himself and sat on the porch. 'What have I done? She's never going to speak to me and now…..Duran…… he'll get to her first. Well I loved her first! I saw her first!!….. No I didn't Duran probably grew up with her and I was just a part of the little league that helped her with this world and Kullervo. We've been through so much together and she still feels nothing for me.
" Rempo?" Rempo shot his head up and stared at Mieli blankly. Apparently it never occurred to him that where Mieli was Tia wasn't far behind.
" We've been looking everywhere! We've all been worried like crazy!" Rempo sighed, 'splendid I caused an uproar with my friends.'
" What's wrong? Aren't you glad your back? I've never seen you this quite….." Mieli whimpered girlishly.
"Of course there's something wrong! Tia hates me and now Duran is going to sweep her off her feet and I'm left with nothing. I don't mean to spread my pity party, but I've never been so angry and miserable." Rempo answered. " Mieli, I love her, I'm surprised that it didn't make me longer to come back." Rempo finished with slight passion in his voice.
" Don't you dare be so silly, Rempo, Tia doesn't love Duran. It takes two!" Mieli smiled lovingly at Rempo's upset expression.
" Doesn't matter. If you heard all he said…. I know Tia she won't want to hurt his feelings and be like ' Oh er…. Okay?' and then I, who actually loves her, will be heart broken." Rempo complained.
" Oh Rempo….. Shut up! Please? Come with me and stop filling your head with those ridiculous ideas." Mieli scolded at the shocked Rempo. His mouth dropped slightly when she told him to rudely be quite. Mieli dragged him along back to Sunny Hill.
" I was just….."
" You were here at the wrong time, Rempo, Tia's here now."
A/N: I have to admit I like this chapter. I hope all of you enjoy it as well. Though it was very short. A
