CHAPTER 1:THE DREAM THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SHARED
It was a winter morning,the sun was set perfectly on the snow making it look as if the snow was glittering in the warm sunshine.It was a quiet morning,a bit too quiet for the ears of Shiratori Scion.Shiratori is a 19 year old,he lives in silence for the last 13 years of his life after being shunned and abandoned from his drunk no-good father,he has never felt the emotion of happyness or love for a long time......until this day....where his world turns upside-down. "Its so cold here..." Sakura said,walking through the snow,"I....feel...like i'm going to--" Sakura then collapsed in front of Shiratori's home.Shiratori felt it was too quiet,he walked outside but what he saw he would never forget,he then saw Sakura lying in the snow.Her clothes were ripped and she was muddy,her skin was almost as pale as the snow."A girl?!" Shiratori said surprised.He picked her up and took her inside.Shiratori whispered to Sakura,"Are you awake?....Are you hurt?" Sakura slowly opened her eyes.Sakura's eyes then dazed into his."Are you ok?" Shiratori asked again."I'm fine...but who are you?" Sakura asked," My name is Shiratori." Shiratori replied. Sakura smiled. "Well lets get you cleaned up,ok?" Sakura smiled and got up. "Are you sure you can stand?" Shiratori asked. "I'm fine." "Who are you?" Shiratori asked. Sakura tilted her head as if she was confused of the question. "Are you able to answer?" She remained silent,tilted her head back up and smiled again. "I'm Sakura." "Why are you here,Sakura?" The smile was then wiped completely off her face. "You don't have to tell me if its too hard for you." "Its ok...." Shiratori waited for her to tell. "Are?--" Sakura interupted. "I have always been on my own,just wandering around,I haven't eaten for thirteen days now." Shiratori then became concerned. "Do you want me to cook you something to eat?" "I don't want to be a bother,I--" Then Shiratori interupted. "Its ok,really." "But--" Shiratory interupted again. " Its ok...." Sakura sighed lightly,looked up to Shiratori smiled and then nodded. "Ok then." Shiratori said,then walked into the kitchen. It had been a long time since Shiritory had seen another human before him,he was even a bit happy that he had found Sakura.She saved me.....,Shiratori kept that thought inside his head for hours.He had made Sakura some riceballs. "Here."Shiratori said and handed Sakura the plate of riceballs. "Oh...I couldn't eat these."Sakura smiled "Its ok!" Shiratori this time raised his voice a bit. "Well if you insist." Sakura took a riceball and ate it quickly. "Is it any good?" Shiratori asked. "Its delicious!" Sakura said with a warming tone,then smiled at Shiratori. Shiratori was silent but then said," I suppose I'll get a room ready for you....its already getting dark." Oh how time flys,they both thought. And then they both stared at eachother...again dazing into eachothers eyes. Shiratori then looked away,"I'll go get some blankets." Shiratori said and walked twards the hallway,grabbed a couple of blankets a a pillow. "Here." He said. "Oh,thank you." Sakura smiled. Shiratori showed Sakura to her room,"You'll stay here." he said. Sakura lied down on her bed,it was soft,but a black bed didn't seem to suit her,but she was greatful."I hope he doesn't get hurt...I shouldn't have told him about me.Now he may get hurt,ooh why do I have to be so stupid?!" Sakura sighed."such a kind man...I won't run this time...no not this time,I will protect him." Sakura lied awake for a few hours,but then slowly fell asleep`

chapter 2: Love Or A Loss
Morning was even more beautiful than the last,and happiness swept away all the sadness in Shiratori's life in a long time.Shiratori got up early that morning,the reflection off the snow from the sun was in his eyes,it made him happy for once to be alive.He even felt like smiling.Shiratori walked outside,picked up some snow and felt it through his fingers."Its not like it was before...but I must get over this,I don't want to get hurt...no..not again." Shiratori then sighed,and lied face-up on the snow.He felt the warm sun on his face and he stayed like that for a while.Sakura soon then got up,when she looked out the window to her surprise she saw Shiratori sleeping in the snow.She walked down,opened the doors to the outside.Sakura smiled,and then sat next to him.Shiratori then awoke. "Your up?" Shiratori asked Sakura smiled again,"Yup I'm up!" Shiratori sat up."Are you planning on leaving?" Sakura's eyes widen,then she looked away from his face. "I.....I don't....ah...I'm not completely sure......" Shiratori got up on his feet.A thought dashed through Shiratori's mind: I....sense somthing close by...... "We mst leave here quickly!" Shiratori shouted to Sakura. "But--" Shiratori interupted "NOW!" Then they both ran. Sakura then tripped over. "Are you ok,Sakura?" "Uhn....I'm ok..." Shiratori then picked up Sakura and began to run. "Can run by myself,really" "Your bleeding." "Huh?!" Sakura said surprised. "Now stay still,I can't keep hold of you when your squirming around." Sakura smiled,"Ok then." "They're closing in on us" Shiratori thought. Shiratori stopped running and set Sakura down. "Can you run?" Shiratori asked. "I'll try!" "Go then,run away from here!" "But--" Shiratori interupted, "I'm not going to tell you again...GO NOW!" "hm.Ok then!" Sakura began to run,then she looked back at Shiratori. "Don't worry about me,just go!" Shiratori insisted. Sakura then ran off. They're here....I just know it! Sakura thought. "Who are you? And why are you here?" Shiratori called out. Suddenly an arrow was shot. Shiratori touched his arm,it was wet and warm. He then looked to his arm. I'm bleeding! He thought. "d**n....." "agrh.....d**n arrow." Slowly he tried to pull the arrow out. "Argh.......it hurts...." As he pulled the arrow out,suddenly another arrow from behind Shiratori shot him in the back. "URK!" Shiratori felt what was in his back. He then saw everything was going blurry. I can't give up now...no,I refuse to give up!I must keep fighting for Saku-- Suddenly another arrow came twards Shiratori. Shiratori dropped his body the the ground,just barely missing the arrow. Shiratori then looked back at the direction of the arrow had shot. The arrow had hit a tree,only that the tree had been burnt through where the arrow had made contact with the tree. A mysterious voice then said,"Such a waste of a good shot...heh heh heh.." The voice sounded like that of a womans. "You'll pay!.......But I'll let you keep your head,if you tell me where you sent Sakura." "What do you want with Sakura?" "Keh heh heh....Thats none of your buisness,foolish mortal!" Shiratori then began to hear feet running through the thick snow. "SHIRATORI!" a voice called out. "That sounds like.....Sakura?!" Shiratori said. "Shiratori!" Sakura called out. In a blink of an eye Sakura was beside Shiratori. "Sakura......" "Did she hurt you?" Shiratori gave Sakura a flat look at that ridiculous question. "Don't you see the wounds?" Shiratori asked sarcasticly. "Not that,I mean your soul?" " What?!" "Heh heh heh...I'm a soul eater,I love the taste of mortal's souls" The woman said licking her lips at Shiratori. "Your soul has much power,and would suit me well.......heh heh heh..." Shiratori growled at the mysterious woman. "Come Sheela..." Another mysterious said only it was more like that of a man's. "Yes Master." The mysterious woman by the name of Sheela said. "Til' next time....heh heh heh......" With that they both disapeared. "d**n........." Shiratori said,then fainted in Sakura's arms. "Shiratori......."

Chapter 3: SHIRATORI LEARNS THE TRUTH
Shiratori then awoke in the same bed as Sakura,he was sleeping next to her.When he awoke he seemed very shy at first,but then he got very comfortable with her by his side.He turned over to her and put his arm over her,as soon as he realized what he was doing he started blushing very red.Sakura then awoke with his arm over her,she then turned around to him and kissed him on the lips.He kissed her back.Shiratori and Sakura's eyes widened at what they were doing.Sakura looked deeply at him and smiled.When Shiratori saw that he smile went into a daze."It looks and feels like her...like when I was a child.......it all seems so real...."Shiratori thought.Sakura stared at him for a while,she looked worried. "Shira.....tori?"Sakura asked. "Huh?" Finaly Shiratori came back to realality. "I need to tell you something,Shiratori." "What is it?" "I will tell you later.....it wouldn't be good to speak of it here." "When shall we talk about it then?" "At night,under the stars would be nice,right" Shiratori saw that smile,once again,like when he was a child. I recongize that smile....so warm..... "Yes...that would be fine,Sakura." Then that same smile she shared with him,he almost felt like smiling himself. Sakura got out of the bed,and walked downstairs. Sakura.....that girl,why do I think of her like this,only when she smiles.* A memory sprung in his mind. He closed his eyes and let the memory play like a movie in his mind. ~"Shiratori,is it odd for you to be here?"~ ~"No lady Shiori! There isn't anywhere I rather be!!~ ~Such an odd place for a boy like you.~ ~Little boy?! I am I truly that little?~ *Smiles at Shiratori* ~Of course not,you are yet to become a man......~ "Shiori......why so long? Why,I am now a man,your promise...to marry me,was it for real?" ~Shiori,when I come back from my winter training,when I am then a man,I vow to marry you!~ ~I then promise to come see you in the winter,when you are a man,I shall marry you,Shiratori.~ ~Shiori.......~ "But she was a woman then and I was only a boy,did she really mean it when she promised to see me?But she was an important preistess,so I can't blame her,it has been three long years since then." Shiori....... The sun was setting again,the sun made a soft redish pink color that filled the land. "Shiratori?" Shiratori looked over and saw that same smile that Shiori had. “What is it Sakura?” “I’ts probably time to tell you about me.” Sakura sat on the bed,both of their backs facing eachother. “I’m.....an angel.” “What?!--” “Or so they they say!Some say I’m an angel,others say I’m a fake angel,but truely a key.” “A key? For what?” “Only the chosen person can use me.My perpose is to grant a wish to a person with a pure heart a persontaht can defeat evil,and forever...I have been kidnaped,tricked,poisoned,thrown in dungons,anything you can think of! “Sakura......” Sakura looked down,closed her eyes as if almost about to cry,but she saved her tears with a sigh. Shiratori glanced back and saw Sakura's hand near his.He grabed her hand and told her softly, "Sakura......such a person as you with such kindness should ever be treated like that! You are like that should be treated with soft,gentle,trusting hands....a person that can treat you like normal.....one that will treat you right...one that you can love and trust......." Sakura instantly blushed."Shiratori I--.....Shiratori......" "And until you find that person,I'll make sure you get everything you need to stand again."He let go of Sakura's hand and got up and walked away. Sakura sat there and watched him leave the room,after he left she looked down,staring at her hand,thinking to herself, Shiratori.......are you saying your not the one for me?....Then what are these feelings I feel?...Do you not feel the same?.....Is this true.....? Shiratori stood there next to a window,watching the snow fall from the sky.He too was thinking to himself. I can't protect her.....I am too weak,I can't possibly.... Shiratori.....did that kiss mean nothing?!....... Sakura started crying.When she saw the tears in her hands it crossed her mind that maybe she would be better off wandering the streets alone,than be with Shiratori. "No.......should I?....." Sakura looked out the window,sighed,andlooked up to the sky.Suddenly a knock was heard at Shiratori's door.Shiratori opened it only to see a young woman in a cloak start to fall before his eyes.He caught her in time though. What is with all these women comming to my door?! The woman then fainted in in Shiratori's arms. Sakura then walked down stairs to see what was going on. "Shiratori!" Sakura screamed.Her eyes widened at the sight of the woman. "What happed to this woman?!" Sakura quickly ran over to Shiratori's side. "Blood....there is blood all over this woman...." Shiratori stated. She looks like... "Shiratori! Shes bleeding badly! "I know!" Shiratori shouted. "Shiratori......." Shiratori rapped bandages around the woman's body "She'll be ok,good thing we got to her in time." Shiratori sighed "Yes." Sakura said with a smile. Shiori....has she really come back for me? The woman then awoke looking at Shiratori. "Did...you save me?" Shiratori stayed silent,not even taking notice that the woman had awoken. "Excuse me?" "Huh? oh what is it?" "You saved me life,didn't you?" "Yes....." "Thank you,Kind Sir." Shiratori then saw that smile.... "Are you Shiori!?" The woman gasped, "You know me?!" "Are you the preistess Shiori?!" "Yes,I am." "What happened to you!?" Shiratori quickly grabbed Shiori's hand and felt them through his fingers. "What are you doing?!" "Hm? Don't you remember me,Shiori?......Its me....Shiratori!" "Shira...Tori?....No,I don't."

Chapter 4: Shiratori's Suprisement
Shiratori stood there in shock.Yet could not understand,or even imagine that his own love that he had cherrished so deeply,even through out child hood had forgotten that he had egsisted.His heart was swollen with saddness,and his fingers numb and shaky from the thought of his love and how she was sitting there telling him that she couldn't remember him.He was sick to his stomach even thinking of that thought.He looked down in depressment and tried to gulp his feelings down.He couldn't bare it,his eyes almost bulged with tears,but he stopped them from flowing down his face with a soft sigh.Shiratori was confused,it only made him wonder what happened when he was training.Sakura stood there,feeling as if she was invisible,she could have cried too,she felt,once again shunned out of a place that felt like home.This feel for them both was almost as big as a grief loss,but with more confusion.Shiratori was determined to find out what happened while he was gone. "You don't remember me....what happened to you,Shiori?" "I-I don't know,the villagers said that I was a preistess from that village,and I protected it with my life,but they said,durring the accident when i had lost my memory I had also lost my priestess powers,so they took me to a man named Jinshii,who they said brings back all powers,but for a price,I needed to devote my soul to him,so,doing anything to protect my village,I devoted myself to him,and then regained my powers." Shiratori knew that those villagers where tricking her. She did not belong to that village,she only came seeking to help us after the 3 year war we were in!! Thats how I found her,I was 10 and she was 14,she was a young and attractive priestess,she came up to me as tears streamed down my face...... ~Whats wrong?~ ~*sniff* They killed mother!!~ ~Now there there,don't cry...I know what it feels like to lose a love one.But all you have to do is get up and find the strength to stand once again~ ~You really think It'll be that easy?~ ~Of course not,it will take time.~ She then took out a green emerald piece,and then stuck it in my hands.... ~What is this?~ ~Take it,it is supposed to give you courage and strength.~ ~It will make me stronger?~ ~You can say that.~ ~Thank you,Preistess!~ ~Please,just call me Shiori.~ Before long she stayed at the village,she looked after me all the time,and then a bond grew,a bond between two lovers.Although she was an adult and I was still a child....... ~Do you think of me as a burden,Shiori?~ ~Of course not,now why would you think that?~ ~The villagers tell me not to be around you because I'll only be a burden to you....~ ~Don't listen to them,Shiratori.You are no burden to me.~ She was the only one who understood me,now this,I always hated those stupid villagers!! They only wanted her to stay because they leaned their problems on her...If I tried to tell her the truth she wouldn't believe me,those stupid villagers have stuffed her head with so many lies that there is no way she'd believe me!! "Take me and Sakura to this village." "Why must I go?" Sakura asked. " I don't want to leave you alone here,it's too dangerous." "Ok,I'll go if it's what you want." " Fine,but I see no reason why you need to go there,but since you saved me,I'll take you." "Thank you." Shiori walked them there,walking very gracefully,and Sakura worried for Shiratori,but she would never quite understand his feelings for Shiori.Shiratori was very unsure of himself.What would he do if his thoughts were ture about the villagers? What right did he have to demand them to tell her the truth?He felt forgotten,as if banned from her touch,her eyes,her arms,and her memory. They arrived at the village.It looked very open and made you feel welcomed,but there are many deep and bloody secrets left in this village,when you think you know someone,you find out their true selves.As Shiori walked by homes and farms people greeted her warmfully,but as soon as they saw Shiratori they gasped and whispered to eachother.Shiratori just ignored them like he did when he was a child. Shiratori was yet reminded of his past,the gore and pain of the war.They arrived at the elder's home,Shiratori waited for Shiori to knock.Shiori knocked softly.They heard a voice welcoming them to come in,the voice was quite faint.Shiratori was the first to step his foot in. "Shiratori?!" The elder gasped. "May I talk to you alone,Elder?" Shiratori asked. "You know this boy,Elder?" Shiori asked. The Elder nodded and showed the women out.He shut the door loudly and stamped his feet rapidly back to his seat. "What are you doing here,Shiratori Scion?! I thought you were out on your winter training!" "For 3 years?! How stupid are you?!" "Now now,no reason to raise your voice,what buisness do you have with me?" "What have you done to Shiori you sick bastard?" "I just messed with her mind a little." "You!! So you paid a demon to erase her memory,only you paid the demon with her preistess powers!" "How did you figure that out?!" "I know you,all I had to do was put the pieces together from what she could remember." "d**n you,Scion! Gau--" Shiratori ran over to the elder and pulled out a knife to his throat. "I would suspect you value your life,call out for your gaurds again...and you'll see hell." "d**n you....just leave!" "You don't even have to ask twice..." And with that,Shiratori left the elder's home. "Shiratori!" Sakura yelled and ran up to Shiratori,"Are you ok,how was it?" Shiratori walked passed her as if she didn't even aknowledge him. Shiratori happened to see Shiori catch his eye,he turned to her and to his surprise he saw her bring a sword to his neck. "Shiori!" "I sense a terrinble evil from you....you must perish." Shiratori's eyes widened he began to run when Sakura grabbed his collar.As she grabbed his collar she tore a necklace from under his shirt.The necklace had a green emerald on it,the emrald fell to the ground and broke.When Shiori saw it fall she hesitated,she got a sudden head ache and fell to her knees.She moaned in pain as the emerald scattered into pieces.Shiratori instantly ran to her side,but as he got closer she sliced his side with her sword.Even as he bled he still was at her side.She pushed him and then ran off. "Shiratori!Are you hurt?!" Sakura yelled as she ran to him. Everything got blurry for him as he fell,then he blacked out. "Speak to me,Shiratori!" The last he heard was her screams for him.

Chapter 5: The Quest
Sakura cried over him,the tears fell to his face as she sobbed.She knew that she needed someone to heal him.Suddenly the sky turned black,and rain fell from the sky.No one even came to his aid.Then,a person in a black cloak came out of the shadows.The person helped Sakura and Shiratori up.Sakura was in panic." who are you?!" Sakura screamed."I'm here to help,please,don't make a scene!"The person said very quietly in Sakura's ear.Sakura gulped slowly,it was just like her past all over again."It'll all be over soon...",Then the person knocked out Sakura by hitting her in the head."It'll be ok....Shiratori...." The person then picked up Sakura and Shiratori and took them in6to her home taht was seperate from the other homes.She put some tea on. The first to awaken was Shiratori. "Where am I....?" He said half asleep. "Shiratori!!" The person said,the revealed her true face. "Miyoko?!" Shiratori said shocked. "Oh,Shiratori! Where have you been?! I was worried sick." Miyoko said with tears buldging at her eyes. "I was gone to train in the military..remember?" "Yes,I know....but who is that girl,she looks nothing like your love,Shiori." "I found her at my door step,she was pale,torn clothes,dirty,and she hadn't eaten for thirteen days." "Thirteen days?! But why?" "She had been battered and beat." "Why?!" "Remember hearing about how the gods would send down another god and or godess in a woman's body,they said that she might be our savior of pure heart--" "But still,they said that the dark of heart would come too,and one dies..." "...The otherwill fufill their perpose. That means if Sakura is killed,then the other girl will fufill evil in this world." "Sakura...that's her,our savior?!" "Yes,she may not look like much,but she does have a pure heart." "I see,so,you planning on protecting her?" "Until we get her out of harm's way." "You're cold,you were'nt like that with Shiori around!" "SHIORI IS GONE!!!" Miyoko jumped at the force of his voice,she hadn't seen him this mad since his mother died. "Shiratori....." ~Shiratori! Look what I can do! Look what I can doooooo!*she jumped on a fence and started to balance in that not of grace*~ ~Watch out,Miyoko!! You're gonna fall!~ I then fell,but Shiratori caught me like a pegasus swooping down to rescue a fallen princess.... ~You have to be more careful,Miyoko!~ ~*sniff* Gee,I'm sorry,Shiratori!~! ~*tsk* Now look,your arm is bleeding!~ He took such care of me,yes,he did complain sometimes,but I knew ....I knew he cared. "Shiori.....I-I'm sorry to hear that...did she die?" "She didn't die....It's just...I found out she got in a accident...and her memory had gotten erased,and her powers were gone,she got them back from this man named Jinshii,he gave her back her powers only if she was to serve him,she agreed. Now....for some reason she thinks I am the enemy." "Shiratori...." "I will get Shiroi back to me,and save Sakura." "But Shiratori,that's impossible!" "No....I will." Miyoko smiled warmly,"I believe in you,do your best...My Shiratori." That's right.....Miyoko had a huge crush on me. But she was six and I was ten,I remember babysitting her. "That war.....three long years...eh?" Miyoko said abruptly. Shiratori looked up and was stunned in silence,he was so caught up in Sakura that her has forgoten his past,his mother. "Y-Yeah" He stutterd. "My..my mother....I miss her." He slushed his words but Miyoko heard everyone clearly.She was happy that he could remember such a strong event. Shiratori looked down,he was ashamed that he couldn't save her,one of the men killed his mother right before his eyes.He touched his face,"I can still feel the blood...her blood...splashing at my face." He was saddened,but dare not to cry,he believes that you can't call yourself a man if you cry. Miyoko then broke his thoughts,"Hey...lets go down by the beach and talk a bit,you wouldn't want to wake Sakura,plus you get a great veiw of the sunset here." "O-ok." He stuttered Miyoko got up and stuck out her hand to help him up. Shiratori was still a bit hesitant,but took her hand and stood up. They both walked out to the peir and stood there as the sun set. "Miyoko....do you think I am strong enough to have Sakura follow her destiny and get back Shiori's memories of me?" "Shiratori...you're the strongest person i know,don't let this man Jinshii get to you,ok?" she smiled warmly at Shiratori,then a thought rose in her mind. "Ah,yes,it almost slipped my mind!" She took out the emerald from her pocket. "Does this look familiar,Shiratori?" She put his memento in his hands,then looked up to him. He was speechless. "So,I guess you ninjas can also deal with things other than throwing knifes." He said sacrasticly. "Hey hey! That's no way to say 'Thank you,Miyoko'!" She smirked. Just then the stars started to appear,creating twilight in their eyes. For a moment,all their pain,suffering,and saddness was swept away by the twilight sky,leaving nothing but hope in their heart,and awe in their eyes. "It's.....like when we were young." Shiratori said mindlessly. "Yes....." Then,before they knew it,night fall had fallen over them. Miyoko stepped closer to Shiratori and stumbled a bit into his arms. He held her close to him,lifted her chin. Miyoko and Shiratori's lips then slowly moved twards eachother. Suddenly,a sharpened throwing knife shot past Shiratori's face. "SCION!" A voice yelled in fury. "Get your filthy hands off of Miyoko!!" "Rai! Why are you here?!" Miyoko demanded. "I should be asking you that,Miyoko! How could you press your lips on his?! Have you forgoten?! Don't forget your duty as the next leader of the Kanatai Ninja Tribe!" " I haven't forgoten,plus your just a child! I am an adult!" "Fourteen already,Miyoko?" Shiratori asked. "Yes,and I am on my way to becomming the next chief of the Kanatai Ninja Tribe." It seems everyone has their life back together but me....but who is this kid...Rai?.... "Hey,kid.Um,Rai,are you in love with Miyoko?" "I vow to marry Miyoko! She's mine so hands off!!" "Rai! Shiratori is my old friend so he deserves some respect!" "If he was your old friend,then why did you two almost kiss?!" "R-Rai!!" "It's ok,Miyoko....Rai,I am not in love with Miyoko." "But you two--" Miyoko,sad at the very words that Shirator said,began to then look away,and think. Shiratori....did you really mean that?....You...You don't feel the way I do?....*sigh* "Rai,how old are you?" Shiratori asked. "I'm ten,my birth-day is also comming soon." "That's good. Well,I should be taking Sakura and leave this village." He then headed down the hill to Sakura "Shiratori! Wait," Miyoko ran to him. "Could...Could I come with you?!" She pleaded with tears buldging. "I mean..I haven't seen you for years! You can't plan on leaving me behind!!" "Miyoko! If you're going with him...I'M GOING TOO!" "...I guess it would be hard to say 'no'....but,what about becoming head chief?" "Haha,just think of it as training,they'll understand. If it's to help someone,then they can't refuse." "...Ok then,Miyoko." "Ok,tomorrow,Rai and I will go to the Kanatai Ninja Tribe and tell them.

Chapter 6: Two sides One body
Morning came fast. Rai and Miyoko were on their way to the cheif. Sakura and Shiratori were up too. Sakura was cleaning up the remainder of Shiratori's old wound.He repeated that "It was ok" and tried to convince her that he could heal. She then shook her head and said," It's ok,I feel it's my fault,I want you to help you heal." Rai and Miyoko had then made it to the secret village,hidden by the very large Tukanka trees said to be gone from the world."Chief Himino!" Rai and Miyoko said,then bowed to the Chief."What is it?" He answered roughly as he turned around,then,saw Miyoko and seemed to have used a more respectful tone."Oh,Lady Miyoko,what is it that you need?" "Chief,we need a pass,we will be going on a journey to help the world savior,known as "Godess Of Light" and her companion,Scion Shiratori." "Ah,I see," He pulled out a paper from the top of his desk and signed it."You may proceed,please,for the sake of the tribe,be safe,Miyoko." "I will,and if you don't mind Rai will be comming with me,I have allowed that. Will there be any objections?" "No,Lady Miyoko,you may take Rai with you on your journey." "Thank you,um and one more thing,I will need bags of food,and a barrel of water,if it isn't asking too much." "Oh no,please take what with you need,food,water,clothes,or weapons." "Thank you." Rai and Miyoko bowed then headed off to buy the supplies. In only hours they had gathered a fair sized wagon full of some supplies. As soon as they met up with Shiratori he was suprised,and didn't accept the food and other supplies. "No,I-I can't take this,it would be too much,Miyoko." "And if we get injured? Or get hungry? What if our clothes get messy? Shiratori,it won't be too much,we're taking it." "Miyoko--" "SCION!" Rai yelled,"JUST TAKE THE d**n SUPPLIES!!" "Fine,but how do we--" "Me and Rai have prepared a horse." "Ah...um...F-Fine!" Shiratori hesitated,looking at the things. "But,lets just leave as soon as we can,ok?" "Sure." Rai glared,"Fine,heh." Sakura smiled,"Ok,then is everyone ready?" "Looks like it,Yeah! Lets go!" Miyoko shouted and hopped on the horse,"Everyone,just find an empty space between the supplies." They then got in the wagon as they traveled into the beamming sunlight. Shiratori looked beyond the knolls and mountains,and saw the aura from the sun in an embrace around whatever it touched. It soothed his mind,and the rememberance of another old friend that he had. He couldn't remember his name though. Nightfall arrived in a blink of an eye. The moons were big,almost the size of the sun. There was a faint sound of crunching leaves,the sound of that under a foot,someone was there. Shiratori peered up to look past the darkness behind the tall trees,but saw nothing more than leaves rolling on the ground. Although there was no visual proof of someone being there he stayed cautious. It seemed that hours had passed,then,again only from a different direction more crunching leaves was to be heard faintly. He sat up again to see if anyone was awake,but no one was,Miyoko was asleep on the horse,Rai and Sakura were asleep on a bag of uncooked rice. Suddenly a fast blowing wind went past his ear. He looked around for a sword,or any weapon. He saw it,a sword with a speacial power symbol on it. This.....sword...hm..It'll do for now Then,a girl appeared,with soft white-lemon hair,and blood-red eyes. She had small bat wings on her back,she look as if she had been chained up for a while. "Are you Scion?" She said,she had a voice of a small girl,she looked like a small girl,but he knew her intentions wasn't to meet him in a friendly manner. "Why do you need to know?!" "Where is Sakura?" The girl came closer,as she could tell that he was cautious. "You won't tell me....fine,don't underestimate me though. I am Tsubalme,leader of The Dreamers." "Dreamers..? You mean people who dream?" "No,heh,I'm not supposed to tell you,but they are these--" Then out of the darkness an older woman came from the trees. She looked around Sakura's age. She had silver hair and wings,and wore all black. "Tsubalme!!" The woman yelled. "I hope you're not spreading what humans are forbiden to know.You know the punishment,do you want to go back there...?" "N-No! Please!!! NOT AGAIN!! I won't betray Lord Jinshii!!" Jinshii....Jinshii......Shiori......That man.... "Jinshii! You two are with Jinshii?!" Shiratori ran to them almost tackling them. "Where is Shiori?! I heard she was with a man named Jinshii!! Where the hell is she?!!!" "Keh," The woman smirked. "I'm sorry,but,you are not to have the knowledge of that." "TELL ME!!!!" "Sorry,but she is nothing but a failed experiment,.....oh...how I envy her....." "Failed.....experiment? What do you mean?!" "Jinshii failed to make her properly,remember feeling her hand? Remember how cold she always felt? She is human,but...she is missing some qualities as a human,I on the other hand....no...I am...though much worse.Me and Sakura are almost like sisters,only much more,we will be the woman Jinshii failed to make. Although me and Sakura are nothing without eachother. That is why I need her,I yearn to become human,but Sakura..she has ran to the world of you pathetic humans hoping to become and live among you,and then find salvation.I need Sakura,and she needs me,give her to me...Scion....." "N-No! I will protect her to the very end! You hear me--" "Shiratori...." A small voice said. "It's ok,I'll go with them,there is no need for me to stay,you'll just end up getting hurt again...." He turned around and saw Sakura,she looked sad,but confedent of her choice. "No,I can't let you go!" "Yes,that's it Sakura,come to me....lets become one,once more." "You leave Sakura alone!" Shiratori snarled. "Shiratori,please,just let me go--" "I'm sorry,but I cannot allow you to go with her." "Kanaye,take me to Jinshii." "No! Sakura!" Shiratori grabbed her shoulder. "Please don't leave....I--" "Shiratori...do me a favor...." "What is it?" "Sleep...." Sakura then blew some of her breath in his face. "Sleep?.....but ........I........" Shiratori then started to doze off and then colapsed. "What was the last thing he wished?" "For...me to be safe..." The three women then transported to the world of wishes.There in the middle of the room was the man,known as Jinshii. "All I ever wanted...was her....they killed her...she knew that she wasn't supposed to be with me...yet she died loving me....and I love her still..I will not fail." Jinshii whispered to himself,sitting there thinking to himself. Her....that smile I couldn't ever forget...but....you forgot me long ago....how can I make you perfect? I have nothing left,I need more...more wishes,more from Scion,he is the only one capable of giving those kind of wishes,he is the only one who shares my same feelings. I need Scion. ~*smiles* Jinshii! Over here!~ ~*smiles back* Oh,there you are,I thought I lost you!~ ~There is no possible way to lose me,Jinshii. Because I'm always with you.~ Oh...how I miss you my dear. "Jinshii! I have brought Sakura!" "I see,Sakura,why have you run off again? You know my perpose of making you,I can't afford to lose any of you,you two are two sides to the body that I need." Jinshii then arose from his chair. "I-I'm sorry Master Jinshii,I shall never run off again." Jinshii then walked to Sakura. "Right as hell you better not!!" He punched Sakura to the ground and kneeled to her to lift her chin up. "I don't care if I have to chain your little ass up,you are not leaving this world again. Do I make myself clear,wench?!!" "Y-Yes,My lord!" "Remember my dear Sakura,I OWN you!!" He proceeded then to slap her down. Sakura screamed out in pain. "Lord Jinshii,don't hurt her too badly,remember,do you really want bruises on your 'Star Project'?" Kanaye stated with glaring eyes. "Heh....." He smirked "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO,WENCH!" "Just telling you to keep that in mind,Sir." "Keh,shut the hell up,you don't resemble her..." He stroked his chin as he observed her body "...Well at least...not yet." "Yeah,because she was the most beautiful thing you ever saw in a mortal girl,huh?" "Don't talk as if you know her,you may be my project to become her,but you are not her." When I become this Shiori,I'll make sure you die by those hands....the ones you love the most. I shall then be ruler of fate,not you..... "Now,shall we get back to work." Jinshii said. "Ah,yes My Lord." "Kayae,take Sakura back to earth with you." "Why,My Lord?" "Make sure you can get Scion to make some deep,heartfilled wishes. Take Sakura with you,he seems to care for her safety." "Yes My Lord. Sakura! We're off!" Sakura got up slowly. "Hurry up!! ....Wench....." Sakura then got up completely. "Y-Yes Ma' am." She said. Jinshii then got up and sat on a glass chair with computers infront of him. "Entering transportation password..." *beep* *beep* *beep* "There,now stand on the star in the middle of the floor." "Yes,My Lord" They obeyed and stood on the star. "Sakura...down disapoint me." He showed a disturbing smile upon his face as they faded to the other world,to Shiratori. "d**n IT d**n IT d**n IT!!!!!!" Shiratori screamed. "Shiratori,It'll be ok,we'll get her back,ok?" Miyoko desprately tried to comfort him. "Get up,Scion! Get up like a man and face this!!!" Rai yelled. Miyoko looked at Rai,almost crying,her hand then hitting his face. Leaving a red hand mark on Rai's face. "Mi...Miyoko......why...?" Miyoko broke out into tears," Rai,it seems....that...that you still have growing up to do!" Rai looked down in shame. Sakura and Kanaye had sucsessfully made it back to the world of humans. "Sakura,return to that boy,Shiratori. Get some good wishes for us,ok?" Sakura nodded,she tore up her clothes and rubbed mud on her clothing and face. "I'll run back now,ok,Kanaye?" "Why do you ask me permisson? It is your order to get him to wish more. I am just here to make sure you don't betray us again." "Oh..ok...I'll just be leaving then....bye Kanaye." Sakura then limped back to Shiratori and the others. Shiratori looked up,and saw Sakura. "Sakura!" He yelled in happiness. He ran to her and embraced her softly. "I...I had thought I had lost you forever." "Sakura....did they beat you? You have bruises,and you're all messy." Miyoko wondered. "Did they hurt you?!" Shiratori worried. "N-..No! I-I was just a bit...um,clumsy on my way back." Sakura stuttered. Rai then thought,I'm pretty sure she is lying,no one could get that kind of beating by just being clumsy...there is something she isn't telling the others...but...I'll hold my tongue. "Sakura...why was that woman after you?" Shiratori asked. Sakura looked down,depressed. "I...." Miyoko touched Shiratori's shoulder and shook her head 'No' to him. "Look Sakura,you don't have to tell me if you don't feel comfortable about it. I'm just-- Well,we're all glad you're back." Shiratori smiled a bit.

Chapter 7: The Girl Behind The Gate
They slept til their heart's content. The night had been long and restless,Kanaye was still watching carefully over Sakura,making sure she didn't betray Lord Jinshii again. Within this sleep dreams were watched,listened,and feeled. Kanaye closed her eyes as she read what they were dreaming. She longed for a dream,to be real. For years she had felt captive by Jinshii. She felt he was making her somthing she didn't want to be. She didn't want to be this "Shiori" she was Kanaye,all she wanted was to become human,nothing more...nothing less. She sighed,looking at their human faces reading their dreams,it hurt. It was a job she had to bear. "Their dreams...so happy-- Wait..hmmmm...Shiratori,your dreams they are more of Shiori" Kanaye thought aloud. Oh...how you're blessed to be born human. Why....why the hell do you humans throw such good lives away for the sake of another? Such idiots. Shiratori moaned,rolling over. He dreams of his past. Not a care in the world,dreams...so free. He runs to her,embracing her. Their lips meet,he holds her,as if he let go...he would never see her again. This Shiori....is that inferior vessle that Jinshii made. She...does have feelings,she has more than most. All she lacks is a perpose...a dream. She has no soul....but she lives free,as if she doesn't care. How I wish I was her.....d**n it....Jinshii...why couldn't you make me right? "Shiori...come back to me...." Shiratori moaned in his sleep. He is just as Jinshii,both after the same woman...or maybe...Shiratori is different....he...he can save me and Sakura from our fates...I hope...Jinshii....I will break away from you... Suddenly a handsome younge red-haired man dropped down from the trees. "Kanaye..." He said aloud. Kanaye turned around. "You.....Akira..." Kanaye thought aloud. "Where is Sakura?" Akira asked. "You can't have her! It is my job to watch over her! If I fail Jinshii--" "Kanaye! Don't tell me you're still with Jinshii!" "Hush!...Let's go somewhere alone." Kanaye took Akira's hand as they fled into the deepest part of the woods. "Kanaye,why? Why do you stay with Jinshii? I thought...I thought I--" "Akira,it wouldn't have stayed like that,I am Jinshii's creation. I'm not even human...." "It matters not,what is in the past stays. I have been assigned a job to kill Sakura. We both know what happens if you both become Shiori." "I will not allow you to kill her! You will have to get though me,Akira." "I guess even years from then Sakura and Jinshii matter more to you than me and Nani." "If you want to look at it like that." Akira turned around and started to walk away with a detirmined expression burned to his face. "What's wrong? ...I thought you were here to kill Sakura. Don't tell me you chickened out." " I shall think my operation and strategey over." He then dissapeared from behind the trees." Kanaye..I thought me and Nani were enough,I thought we meant more to you than Jinshii and Sakura. But,I shall continue with my work as a assasin. I must defeat Jinshii,the God of fate. And with thoughts of the present,memories of the past,and hopes for the future,he wandered off to the unknown. Shiratori and the others awoke at mid noon. Sakura on the other hand slept for longer. "Should we wake her?" Rai asked. "No,of course not! Right,Shiratori?" Miyoko turned to Shiratori. "Yeah,let's let her rest. She must have been through a lot." Shiratori responded. "Shiratori," Miyoko started to ask "what journey are we on...? Sakura's perpose,we know what it is,to be joined with that other girl. Why are we--" Shiratori stopped her before she could say anymore. "Miyoko,I.. I refuse to let Jinshii get a hold of her,for whatever reason. I can tell Sakura doesn't want to fufill her destiny." "So what you're saying Scion,is that we're just basicly running with Jinshii's creation,running away from Jinshii and the others." Rai pointed out. "Rai,I--" "SCION! Don't give me any excuses!! You know what you're doing! You're so reckless!" "Rai,I'm sorry,but I must do what I have to. Even if it seems impossible." "Scion! ...you're so stubborn." Sakura moaned quietly as she dreampt. : ~Wh-Where am I?! Shiratori?! SHIRATOR--~ ~SaKuRa.....~ ~::Sakura::--*looks behind her~ ~::?::-- BeHiNd...ThE....GaTe....JiNsHiI....He Is hIdInG.....tHe GaTe.....I...Am~ ~Who are you?!~ ~I aM.....YoU~ ~Me?! That can't be!! I'm me!!~ ~::?::--*kisses Sakura's lips*~ "AHHHHHHH! NO!!!" Sakura screamed awake. "Sakura. Are you ok?" Shiratori worried. "Jinshii.....he's....." "What about Jinshii?!" Rai asked. Sakura stopped and smiled, "Oh...um...nothing" She lied. ~::?:: -- sAkUrA....sHiOrI...ThE GaTe......~ ...

Did you just type that all up now? Oh and for a little word of advice, try spacing the sentences, so it can be easier to read. ^_^
