Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silence is Everything ❯ Here we go ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Ok just so you're not confused this is the really ruff draft, Lunar is Kagome, in one of her (not well explained) lives. It's a nice numb read, I'm working on the longer complete more detailed version, as well as a shonen ai story. So even though it will make no sense, read it….It's fun!
And I promise it won't kill you ^_^
A girl, Lunar, of 14 years, sat in a window. Her small, and slim figure, dressed in a dark green nightgown, and her ice-like light blue eyes staring at the icicles that lined the window outside of the same color. Long black hair that she'd been growing for 5 years, fell freely about her pail shoulders as she sat in a window seat. Silently looking out at the cold blanket of snow that covered the ground and the ice that was on every bare branch in every tree for miles. It was snowing, but she loved the snow. It was cold pure, and beautiful, like all the people in her fantasies. With her knees tucked against her chest, and the book she'd just finished in her hands, she decided Victorian times could be so, oppressing. Little did she know how the oppression was getting to her.
The book she was reading was just like the last 20 read over the holoiday break. An ordinary girl gets whisked off on a great adventure, finds true love and lives happily ever after. Sighing as she looked out at the white scenery. This day was her birthday, and Xmas was to be the next day. When she heard a crashing sound and felt a cloth put over her nose and mouth, stupidly gasped instinctively, as any human would. Feeling sleepy, she'd felt as though she was carried away `just like in all my favorite stories.' She though. Soon she, as the faint-hearted girls in the old storybooks, blacked out.
Woken to the feeling of silk sheets, reality and a headache struck her, realizing that she'd never had the money to afford silk, She got out of bed to find that what she was wearing was not the same nightgown she'd had on before. It was now dark red and had been made of velvet, but for the world she could no longer remember what she'd had on before. Then she saw it. A handsome man standing out on the balcony. He had on a black cape with a crescent moon and a star on the back. He leaned against the railing, over looking a black abyss. Slowly, foolishly she, step forward, and he turned. He had brown hair, and big soft brown eyes.
“Ace…” she whispered.
“Well you're good with names aren't you?” he took a step closer and smiled “want to dance?” he asked.
“Y-yes.''
She looked into those eyes, and forgot all about the horrible family and life she had. It wasn't like any one would miss her; she thought. `I didn't have any friends…' at least that she could remember at that point in time. Under the spell her captor had weaved, she forgot all about her life and being kidnapped. She knew only Ace, and the castle. she didn't need to ask questions, all the ones she'd wanted to ask, had answers. Dancing the night away, now that felt completely normal. She went to bed only at Ace's request that night.
The next day was how every day was to pass. Wake, be happy to still be with Ace, look in the closet and find a beautiful dress (she always loved dressing up…at least she thought it was always. @_@) and put it on, then go out to the garden and have breakfast with Ace, then wander around till bed time when he would come again, and bid her a good night, kiss her forehead after she fell asleep. With no idea of the passage of time it all blended seamlessly together, (actual it had been nearly a year.) When one day Ace joined her on the balcony.
“Bed time already?” she asked, kind of playfully.
“No, but do you know that today is your birth day?” he questioned.
“No, Ace I-“ she was cut off.
“What do you want for a gift?” he asked calmly.
Her ice blue eyes softened, as they looked out at one of the eight gardens. There was one for every color of the rainbow, and they were placed at the points of the compass. Looking all around, the castle floated, on a black nothingness, just black beyond the grounds in all directions. As she thought, her mind fell on one of the many books read wile waiting for Ace.
“A garden, `a bit of earth all my own, a secret garden, with a key'.” She quoted.
Looking at his eyes with her icy ones, a box appeared on the rail in fount of her, and Ace turned and smiled at the surprised face she made. Slowly opening it, she found a small, silver key with the same crescent moon and star on it as Ace's cape had. When her gaze returned to the gardens a new garden emerged with high walls and ivy mixed with roses on the out side walls and all that could be seen of the inside was a oak and willow tree and may roses and flowers lined the inside of the walls too.
In her happiness she hugged him, and he hugged her back. A smile. He turned to go in to the bedroom and she followed. It was close to 12:00 p.m. only 2 minuets left. He looked at her.
“I need to tell you some thing before it all ends. I took you from your home almost a year ago tonight, and I must let you go now. You see your parents said that I could have you for a year at only the cost of my life.” He finished.
As those words sunk in, a hole opened in the floor and flames leaped out of it and he started to sink as if in quick sand,
“I want you to know you harbor and great power, and I wanted it for myself, I tried to draw them out but I fell in love with you and now I must die.” Still not understanding this Lunar just listened.
“Ace you're burning.” As the painfully obvious was stated his legs disappeared. sinking to her knees as he sank so he was almost level with her.
“I love you, that is why I'm dieing, but once I'm gone at the last stroke of 12, this will be over, and you'll forget all about me, and being with me, and your old family. You'll be put into a new family and have memories of only growing up with them.” now crying hysterically she said,
“please, no, don't let me forget you!!! At least let me remember you!!!! I love you, you can't go!!” he ignores her out burst and puts her hand on his cheek. He holds it there. His chest is almost gone.
“May be you will remember,” he lets go but Lunar clung to his chin and the flames are at his shoulders.
“BUT I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!” He looks at her one last time, and completely sinks in. She could still feel him and tries to pull him back, but the fire was so hot and it burned her skin, bad. Finally she let go.
“No one listens….”she whispered “NO ONE LISTENS!!!!!!!!!!”
Then she heard him say,
`I'll be watching you, and I'll send you an angle that's like me to watch over you.'.
As his voice faded, she screamed. It was high, long and made the glass rattle and shake; its eerie like it had it's own voice that seemed to take on a new life as it reaches full volume. Listening to the sound she made, it sounded like it was trying to call someone, somewhere, and Lunar knew who it was and where he was, and knew that he heard it. She stopped and looked at the ashes on the floor and pass out.
***************************DREAM END*********************************
Wakeing to being in someone's lap in a loose hug, rocking back and forth, stroking her hair, and saying “its o.k. Lunar. Wake up, everything's o.k…”, was strnge but only for a little bit. Her memories flood back of her real life, but the dream seemed so real too. Her brother, Yusuke comforts her as he tries to keep the tears from running down her pail face.
“Yusuke?” she ask questioningly.
“You screamed in your sleep and you were crying…are you o.k. now??” she let him hold her a little longer then sat up, and start telling him about the dream. He listens, but sleep comes to calm raw nerves, so she falls to, like easy prey.
Well, is this her new life or was the dream not real?
Now she looks a little different now, so let me explain. Now she has lake blue eyes, and long-ish black hair with a voice in her head sense she can remember. Spitefully naming him, Bob. He is always telling Lunar to kill her self but she never listens. She doesn't like fire or heat of any kind, but loves to dress up and, always has on a bell. She can't remember when she first put it on but ever sense then, rumors at school flew. Like that Yusuke put it on Lunar so everyone could hear her coming and wouldn't have any reason to bump in to her, someone who ever did, did it on purpose, and Yusuke could beat them up for touching his sister. Or that it was actually a tracker so he knew where she was, and if Lunar ever needed help he could be there in a second. Actually she wore it because it made a beautiful tinkling sound at her every step =P. She put on the black dress that is always warn to school; even though the school dress code was a sailor out fit the school needed the 4.5 g.p.a. so they can't expel her anyway. Leavening her hair down she, heads for the door. Not talking to any one at school, drays attention. When a teacher asks her a question she would go up to the board and write it down. The only person she speaks to is her big brother, Yusuke. He is (by the way) 2 years older than her, but because he was left behind and she speed up a grade, he is in the same grade as Lunar. She is `the freak' to everyone but Yusuke, he doesn't know or he'd have gone in to a tantrum and beat up some one for it, which she'd rather avoid. Lunar didn't want him to be expelled so she tried to get him to do some good, missions never worked. Except with `mission girl friend.' He fell for that one sooooo easy. Oh and did I mention She clean things when she gets nervous?
On you're way to school, (which was a 4 hour hike, because you refused to take the bus.) she loves the quiet, and peace of walking so close to the woods that she could hear what was going on in it with out disturbing the activities. Yusuke said that he wouldn't be going to school today. She thought about how her and Yusuke's mother was getting married to the big scary head of police. He had to other daughters, and he was quite frankly, abusive. When she finally got to school at 9:00 a.m. Keiko, the girl she set up with Yusuke, walked up to Lunar and asked if she seen Yusuke. She shook her head no, and went on with the day.( It was kind of boring, so I'll just skip to lunchtime.) She usually went up to the roof to sit with Yusuke but not today. After school she walked home, again she hated the bus. `A confined area with idiots' is the only way to describe a bus. Besides walks were the only time she felt good and almost happy. No one looking at her, no noises, no one just her and, the occasional rainstorm. She loved rain. It was every thing she liked, wet not dry, cold not hot, and it gave sweet kisses that she were sure she'd never get from any one. (Mostly because one, Yusuke would beat the crap out of them, and two no one would date a freak.) Letting the rain and wind wrap around her in a hug, it was still raining and she felt like doing something embarrassing, so she ran to an older part of town.
She went any where in town you wanted sense it was all Yusuke's `turf' and no one would mess with her. She ran like a little girl to a small baker's shop that Yusuke took her to all the time when she was little. She ran up wet hair trailing behind her, and back dress clinging to her skin as she put her hands up to the glass like a child. She looks in at the shop owner and he looked at her. When he finally looked away she stuck her tough out at him and glanced at the two customers that were in the shop at the time. One was short with black hair and the other was taller with bright red hair. They look at her like she was crazy but she paid no mind, she already past the window skipped to the middle of the cobble stone street. She stopped to spin in circles and her dress and hair went around her in kind of a spiral, as the rain beat on her skyward face. She began to dance with no one doing the waltz. Suddenly Yusuke cuts in on no one Bob is upset now because he was hopping she would catch a cold and now that her brother showed up, she were going to go home. As she danced with her brother as she thought
`Well, you've been quiet today Bob.' He got all huffy and said,
`Well, I like rain walks too, and it's not like you gave me many chances, you were too, busy thinking of school and that Ace fellow.' He said back.
He was going to start talking again but Yusuke beat him to it. “You know Keiko is throwing her b-day party and she wants you to, come…” he looked at your face knowing she would say no, and kept on, “It's a dress up party, she knows you love to dress-up so she made it formal just for you.”
He probably told her that that was the only way to get you to come, to make it formal. She looks up at him he's almost a head higher than she is, and she said slowly
“o.k.”, he waltzes her all the way home.
At her house she got out her favorite dress out of the two her own. It's black and red with a v-neck. Yusuke looks at her in it,
“You know you're lucky I'm going to let you wear that. It's the tightest thing you have so you wear it to a birthday party.”
In all truth it did hug her curves but not tightly, it was because it was black that made him notice her figure, she liked it because it had a under dress that made the bottom like a bell and it swayed with her every movement. She put her hair up in a high braided bun, and let some of it come up the bottom in long ringlets, in the bun, put mini red and black roses, and picked out a chocker made of velvet, with a gold bell attached. She came out of her room and Yusuke was in a tux and drove her to the party. When she got there she wanted to dance but these were people from school and her brother was there, Yusuke was talking to some of his friends, she saw Kuwabara, and …
“The boys from the bakery” she thought.
Bob is commenting on the fact that the punch bowl is deep enough to drown in, but she pays no attention. It startles her when Yusuke gestures at her over his shoulder and the boys look at her. She sees Kuwabara wave his hand in the air and jump up and down. The one with red hair says some thing and he looks at her. Kuwabara stops and the red head walked towards her. She panicked and turned to the punch table.
********
This is what they were talking about
Yusuke looks for his friends and when he finds them he talks low, “Hay, um I don't trust any one better than I trust you guys. My sister loves to dance but I don't want any strange guy dancing with her so could one of you guys do me a big favor and dance with her for a bit?” they look at him and Kurama says “Well we've never meet her before so which girl is she??” He tried to sound polite and Yusuke just pointed behind him, “the one by the punch table all alone, and looking this way.” They looked and saw her. “Wow Urameshi, no wonder you don't want just any one for her she's hot!!!” Kuwabara said “Can I dance with her?” he waved his hand in the air, and jumped up and down. “You're the kind of guy he doesn't want dancing with her.” Said Hiei, “and I don't want you getting fresh with her or anything it's just that I want her to be able to dance. Like I said she really likes too, but I can't dance with her if I'm dancing with Keiko.” He looks unhappy but perks up when Kurama says, “I'd be happy to dance with her.” He smiles at Yusuke nods and Kurama makes his way towards her.
********************
Back to her
(Remember that Kurama and Hiei can read your every thought, and when you `push back you're putting up a barrier on your thoughts, which not may normal people do)
The red haired boy comes up to her and bows, she curtseys back he take her to the dance floor and she starts to Waltz.
`His eyes,' she thought `they so deep, and they sparkle, like emeralds…'
she doesn't see it but he smiles and thinks to him self,
`so I have nice eyes.'
She feels kind of uncomfortable, this was not her brother this was her brother's friend and, she didn't want to seem rude, but she didn't like dancing with him. She felt really tense and tight around him Bob is yelling at her for having fun, and is telling her that the food table is bound to have something sharp, and that if she didn't like this guy she'd never have to see him again. Kurama looks at her questioningly but then the short boy cuts in.
`Well this is different' he is taller than her but only a little bit. His red eyes looked deep in to hers and she did the same thing back. She realized he reminded her strongly of Ace not in looks or any thing just that it felt the same way to dance with Ace he had the same karma, the same warmth coming for him. She didn't like it at first but finally after the next couple measures; she started to just enjoy dancing.
`No not just dancing, but dancing with him.' She thought. He keeps starring at her. As Hiei looked in to her eyes he saw they're color.
`Lake blue like water, the color of calm. Yet I see such chaos behind them, conflicting emotions, battling behind the eyes. Still only this blank, sad face on the exterior, but all the emotion behind them magnetized a hundred fold over the normal human emotion.' Hiei thought.
She feel a kind of closeness the same feeling she felt with Ace, she left her feet on auto pilot and thought it over in her mind. If was funny she could have sworn she felt a slight push on all her thoughts in to one direction, like a suggestion to `not think about it any more', she closed her eyes and tried to push it aside. When she opened them again she thought about Ace, and nothing said stop so she looked at the boy. He had a slight look of surprise on his face, he held her lightly around the waist and she held him around the neck, and shoulders. When the song ended he was gone in the blink of an eye.
She went to find Yusuke and, found him still dancing with Keiko when the last song was done; he came over to her,
“Hay Lunar did you have fun?” he looked kind of worried,
“Of course, but you need to teach your friends to dance like you do, they think they need to lead, and tell them that dancing is dancing not a staring contest. Oh and, to bow before you leave, your short friend was gone like greased lighting at the end of the song…. Besides that … I had the most fun I've had sense you took me to paint ball field with Kuwabara.” She whispered in his ear.
He took her home and she went to bed. Before she went to sleep, he sat on her bed and looked her in the eye,
“Lunar, I'm going away tomorrow and I'm not coming back. I have to go so there's nothing I can do about it. I'll miss you.” He wipes away a single tear that fell from her eyes.
“But, Yusuke you can't go your all I have!” He looked taken aback but said
“I have to go, and you'll still have Keiko, and mom needs you.” He got up before she could stop him.
`No one listens.' She thought as she silently cried herself to sleep.
In the morning when she woke she remembered Yusuke was not there,
`Good now maybe you'll listen to me more!!' said Bob.
`Just shut up for 5 hours would you?' She says back to him, a little annoyed.
She got dressed and went down stairs to see her stepfather at the coffee table in a bad mood. He was a big man with a lot of mussels; he was the head of police, and a brutal man when it came to `following the rules'. He looked at her and she flinched internally as he said,
“You, freak, did you get in trouble at all this week?”
She shook her head, not scarred but just answering him casually. He looked at her angry,
“You, will say, Sir when you address my at all times!!!” he knew she didn't talk to any one; he just wanted a reason to yell at her.
“Let's try some more questions. Are you going in school?” She didn't even bother answering; he was going to hit her even if she decided to answer him, which she was not about to do, and never give him the satisfaction of knowing she was afraid of him. He got up and yelled,
“Answer Me!!!” he picked her up by the collar of her shirt, and she was tossed to the opposite wall of the living room. As she hit the wall, she heard a crack when her left arm hit the wall first, trying to keep the rest of her person from hitting it.
`Just a sprain' she thought.
He came over to her and aimed a good kick in her side,
“Well?” He picked her up again and threw her at the lamp and table in the corner of the room. Her right shin hit the table the lamp was on, hard. But her back knocked the lamp over and it smashed on the floor, in to little pieces, she first hit the wall, with her back, and then hit the ground. All the little bits of glass dug into her arm,
`Not going to cry.' She thought. As she lay there, Bob was saying,
`Do something to make him really mad and maybe he'll kill you!!!'
Her stepfather turned to her and said mockingly,
“Better get to school don't want to be late.” He through her bag at her face,
“The best part of this little arrangement is that even if you tell some one, they won't believe a freak's words to the head of police!!! I'll just tell any one that asks you go in and accident with a bike or some thing.”
She straightens herself and calmly walked out of the house
. `No one listens.' She thought as she limp towards a long painful day of school.
`I listen.' Said Bob,
`You don't count. You have to listen, you're stuck in my head if you don't want to listen then don't!!'
When she finally got to school she tried to hide her limp and cuts on her arm. She slowly made her way to her first period class. The teacher walks up in front of the class. “We have 2 new students today” she said.
The door opened and the short boy with red eyes and the other boy with red hair walked in,
“Please state your names.” The teacher said. Realizing she didn't know their names so she listened in.
“Hiei.” Said the shorter one,
“Shuichi.” Said the other.
“Well any empty seats, your welcome to.” They of course sat in 2 of the 4 that surrounded her; whispers went though the class things like,
`Well they're new maybe Urameshi will pity them' and,
`They're dead men walking', but all the girls were twittering about Shuichi.
She tried her best to pay attention to the lesson but she got that pushy feeling in her mind again, like some one was calling up thoughts she didn't normally think,
`Bob are you doing any thing?' she asked.
`No that boy is snooping around, and he keeps pecking at all your memories and I can't get away from him, it's like he's hunting me down.' Said Bob in a panic.
`Well, even if I don't like you I want to be the one to get rid of you and you do listen to what I say, so I'll help.' She closed her eyes and tried to push out the pusher. It takes a wile but finally it stops.
`Hold up Bob, you said that boy, right? What do you mean?' Bob replied with a sweet voice,
`Well, the two boys sitting next to you are trying t read your mind but now your doing a good job of keeping them out.' He sounded grateful.
`Did I just save you from them, I mean what were they trying to do?' He replied back,
`They were trying to push me out of your mind, and in to theirs where I'm sure they could destroy me!! Thank you I'll help you a little more.' She was not really letting this sink in till the bell rang and she got a splitting headache. She ran from the room, feeling like she wanted to die. This is where Bob did his one good deed.
`I'll take care of that for you.' He said and the pain was gone.
`Thanks' She said back and, ran up to the roof and wait for the day to be over.
Soon lunch break was over and she head to her next class, gym. She hated gym, having to wear the bottoms that looked like under wear and short sleeves, every one would see her cuts, but it's not like she should make a big deal out of it no one would mess with her except, Yusuke's friends, they'd probably ask her all kinds of questions. She went to the changing room, and when she came out people are looking at her arms. Some people are playing basketball others running around the track. She decided that she would just stand out of site and try to nurse her cuts, and give her leg and arm a break. She sat down in a corner of the field closest to the woods so she could hide in them if Yusuke's friends came along. She sat with her hurt leg out straight and the other casually bent beside her, with her back against the fence, and began to lick her cuts. They were still bleeding a little, but it was the dried bloodstains that she was trying to get off. She stiffened as she felt the pushing again; she closed her eyes and pushed them out. She looked up t the sky begging for it to rain, so she could get inside before any one saw her cuts.
This was short lived, as she heard foot steps coming closer, she knew who it was before they got close to her, she looked up and tried to hide her arms behind her back as she watched them come up to her.
“Hay Lunar, why are you all the way out there.” Said Shuichi, squatting down beside her. He looked at Hiei as if to say `go on.' And Hiei just said,
“hn” and looked at Lunar coldly. Shuichi scowled at him and turned to her.
“You know Lunar your brother told us to watch out for you wile he's gone. It would be nice if-“ he was cut off by the bell.
He held out a hand to help her up, she knew that if she tried to get up on her own, she'd probably fall over and they would be able to tell she was hurt. She shook her head and they left, getting up a little later with the help of the fence.
In her last class, she was licking the cuts again but she didn't see Hiei raised an eyebrow and think to him self,
`When'd she get those. I never knew humans lick their cuts too.'
At the end of class Hiei went out with Shuichi, and she waited for the rest of the class to go before going. As she started to walk home she felt like she was being followed, she knew who it was. Feeling that warm energy coming as soon as She left school. Walking as fast as she could with out limping, but they caught up to her.
“Do you always walk home?” asked Shuichi. She nod her head and keep looking at the sky in front of her.
“You know we aren't you enemies, Lunar.” Shuichi said kind of concerned.
She stumbled a bit on a crack, and Hiei said,
“Where did you get those cuts on your arm?”, in a cold emotionless voice. She just kept looking ahead, but in starts to rain. Shuichi goes up to her and pulls out an umbrella. She was about to protest, when the wind took it right out of his hands and it blew away. She giggled in her head, and then Shuichi says,
“Do you live far?” He puts a hand on her shoulder, but she can't take it. It's like they're trying to ruin her life and she hated the feeling when Shuichi touched her.
She ran.
As fast as she could, and cut through the woods, hearing them following almost the whole way. As the house comes in to view, she can't hear them any more so she walked in the door.
Her stepfather is waiting for her, as she walked in the door.
“Where'd your rotten brother go?” He demanded, standing up.
She shook her head still wet from the rain, and slightly unnerved.
“Well, remember what I said this morning? You should say, `No, Sir I don't know where that punk, slacker I call a brother is.' ”
This made her mad. She clenched her fists, and took a step towards him.
“Oh, that's disrespect you know. And that needs a punishment.” He growled.
`I hate you.' She thought as he picked her up and slammed her head in the wall a couple times.
`If he's too careful he won't kill you.' Said Bob in her head, back to being Bob, as her stepfather through her in to the ground. She wasn't expecting that so the arm that was sprained was now broken. She made a whimpering sound as it cracked, and he pulled her up and pushed her against the wall. He looked her in the eye, and then punched her as hard as he could in the stomach and chest. That was saying a lot considering how big and strong he was. So more, louder cracks ripped through the air as several of her ribs broke. He laughed as she let the 2ed tear in 48 hours come from her eyes. He laughed again and through her out the window!
She painfully yelled a very high-pitched yell/scream as she landed, on all the bits of glass on the ground, with her back, neck and, legs. He came out the door and was about to step on her when Lunar scrambled to get away. She crawled over to a faint figure, on hands and knees. Looking to the figure peering from behind a bush at you. They straightened and came to her. Seeing those emerald eyes you didn't want to see, she didn't want him to touch her, but she was in too much pain to fuss about it.
`My stepfather will be so mad after this. Probably think I've been going out with him and when he leaves, my stepfather will kill me. Not that it matters any more' she thought.
Shuichi looked at her slightly surprised and helped her to a sitting position, which was extremely painful. She saw her stepfather tumble a bit but look strangely at Shuichi, and he got in a sitting position with is legs under him. He bowed to him, and said,
“Yoko, what are you do there?” he said as he sat up.
` Yoko?' she thought.
“Aonre, what were you doing to this human? Didn't I tell you to behave yourself?” said Shuichi.
`Well, I never heard his name so I guess it is Aonre, and did he just say human? Like he's not? Yah right!!'
Bob chimed in, `I can't believe I'm suggest this but…RUN!!!'
She was still looking at Shuichi staring down her stepfather with the coldest of stairs, and this Aonre shaking under it like he was afraid!!
“Why, Aoner.” Shuichi said with deadly calm.
“B-Because she's a freak Sir!” he said in a more high-pitched voice than usual.
The truth sank in, at hearing it said,
`I am a freak.'
No one was left to care about her, with Yusuke gone. She watched Shuichi pick up her stepfather with ease, around his neck like he'd done to Lunar so many times.
`How does it feel' she thought as she watched.
`Now would be a good time to run.' Said Bob, she slowly got up as Shuichi questioned Aoner, and slipped away hoping no one noticed her hasty escape.
When she was well away, she came to a cliff she had seen before. She liked to come here at night some times and watch the sky.
`Hay why don't you-` Bob started but she said,
`way ahead of you'
She started running. It wasn't like any one cared if she died. Yusuke wouldn't find out, and then she thought of some thing Yusuke had once told her.
`It's a permanent fix to a temporary problem.'
As she neared the end of the cliff she spread her arms, ready to fly.
(Right about here I gave up, and started writing in Quizzla format, I know shame shame, but I'm fixing that!!!)
About to jump when some one on the side pushes you over to the side, safely to the ground. You knew it was Shuichi and didn't want him anywhere you. You get up from under him, and run into the woods. You come a crossed a clearing, you feel a sharp blade on your neck, you instinctively grabbed the hand of the person holding it to give you control, but you feel the warmth from him almost immediately. Sure enough Hiei walked in front of you so, he still had the kanta to your neck. “Let go.” He commanded. You didn't move your hand, “Now,” he pushed a little on the kanta drawing a small trickle of blood. `Or else what.' You think as you push on he kanta some more to draw more of your blood. You look into his eyes. They widened for a second in shock, but narrowed. Shuichi-Yoko came in to the clearing and started asking questions all you could hear was Bob saying, `One more step. One more step' over and over. You tensed your legs ready to lung forward into the kanta's sharp blade. Shuichi saw what you were about to do as you closed your eyes, as Kurama yelled to Hiei who looked at you just in time to move his kanta down and to the side as you crashed into him not the blade. To keep himself and you from falling he held you and took a step back, you tried to get away but he held on to you. One last tear escaped, and you let out a scream. Like when Ace died, you let it all out you let it go high, long and piercing ring and resonate through the whole forest. It was an eerie sound to hear, sadness, frustration, loss, and fear, rolled into one. You let it die, it echoed all in the small clearing like an amp theater. Hiei looked at you then at Shuichi, “Now I know you had to have felt that too Kurama.” Hiei said. `Kurama? Man he's got a lot of names.' You thought as Kurama looked sadly at you. “Well, it's not like she can go any where else is it, we'll have to take her.” Said Shuichi-Yoko-Kurama. Hiei smirks at you and hits you on the top of the head with the hilt of his kanta, and you black out.
You wake to a strange room, not like any you knew. You began to hear voices but can't tell what they're saying, or who is talking. You begin to become aware of the fact that you are laying down and have your head in someone's lap, this startled you until you revised it was Yusuke, because he says “No! We had to take her back, I can't believe you brought her here!” Kurama tried to get Yusuke to listen to him, in-between his raves. You felt some one gently stroke your hair. Then you felt the warm presence enter the room. After a moment you realized it was Hiei, and opened your eyes quickly, but closed them again when the room started spinning. You moved a little, and Yusuke noticed. He looks down at you as you try to open your eyes a second time, and sense the room is still spinning try to clutch the closest thing, to get the idea that you were laying still. Well, you grabbed Yusuke's shirt the bottom of it, and sit up. He looks worried, but as you look around you see all the other faces surprised not worried. Yusuke is the first to speak, “Um, Lunar these are all my friends well they used to be….” He glared at them and Kurama spoke up. “Yusuke if it weren't for us she'd probably be dead!” Yusuke looked shocked but said “What do you mean, you said she tried to run away, you said nothing about defending her!!” “Well,” Kurama started “your step farther was beating her and threw her out the window, so I intervened and sense he was once a member of Yoko's band of thieves, he stopped, but I think he wanted to kill her, because she wouldn't tell him where you were.” “ I left because he hated me and if I stayed he'd beat mom and Lunar up `cause of me, but I was wrong and I'm sorry.” Yusuke said looking at you. The rest of the gang is amazed that Yusuke just said sorry with out prompting, and you wrap your arms around his neck in a sibling's hug, and almost scream for joy when he gets up off the couch and spins you around in circles. He sets you down and says “We have to go see someone, kind of important-“ with this a girl with blue hair and pink eyes jumps out of no where and hits Yusuke on the head. “Baka, he's the great ruler of sp-” her mouth in turn was covered by Yusuke, “of the place we're in right now, he owns the place and if your not nice he'll kick you out.” He says. You knew he wasn't telling the truth, like the time when he told you that if you go trick-or-treating alone the boogieman gets you. He began to walk some where and you follow, with your head down, all the other people in the room were looking at you, but you knew only a few of them were Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara.
Soon you were in an office with a lot of papers floating around like a lot of people had left in a hurry, all that was left was a desk a chair (turned away from you) and a red couch. The girl with blue hair bowed, and you followed her example after hitting Yusuke on the head for not doing the same. “Koenma, Sir I brought Yusuke and his sister to see you.” The chair turned around to revel, Ace his exact likeness was right in front of you. You gasped and took a step closer, “A-A-Ace?” you stutter, as he looks you up and down. “Ace, hu? Well he's my cousin and I under stand that I do look like him or he looks like me, which ever…HAY how do you know him?” Yusuke looked shocked because you told him all about Ace and your dream. “I-I-I…and H-He” you were not speaking but rasping the words soundlessly. You passed out.
Tomorrow
You wake again on the couch and rub your head, you see that no one but you is up yet and won't be for a wile. Your internal clock is still ticking and telling you when to get up for school on time, so you decide to make breakfast. You go to the kitchen to find it a mess! You love cleaning so you start to clean the piles and piles of dishes, stacked high in both sinks. When you finish that you mop the floor and whip off the counters so you could make breakfast the way you wanted to in a sanitary environment. You began by taking out the things you need to use to make the pancakes, toast, French toast, and waffles you planned on making. Cooking and cleaning always made you feel better, like walking in the rain, so you put your heart and soul in it. As the coffee perked the first costumer came down for their night of sleeping, Hiei was the luck guy to be an early riser, and to get first dibbs on what he wanted. He kind of nodded his head at the food and you just smiled a little and nodded back, then gestured to a chair. `You know if you sleep in the oven tonight on turn it on….' Bob started, but you shut him up saying `do you want protection?' he went back to the corner of your mind he inhabited, and you waited for Hiei's reaction with your cooking. He didn't say any thing but you could tell he liked it. You allowed your self a smirk, and then see Kuwabara come down to the kitchen. HE was still in a daze but when he saw all the food he snapped out of it and woofed it down (Think of the way Joe Wheeler eats--from Yu-gi-oh--). Next is Baton and Yusuke followed by Kurama. “Hay you and Kurama should team up, to make a meals some time.” Said Kuwabara with a mouth full of hash browns. You looked at Kurama and thought `he cooks' as if he knew what you were thinking he said, “I cook very well, for a guy actually.” He kind of scratched the back of his head and looked at you.
When every one was done eating you slowly collected up all the dishes and took them to the sink. No one seemed to notice till you started putting the cold things back in the fridge that you have not only made break fast, but also cleaned the whole kitchen, washed all the dishes ect. “When the heck did you do that??” said an exasperated Kuwabara, “She always gets up early…what are you talking about?” answered Yusuke. You smiled at him, but knew today was going to be very hard on you. You looked on as they dispersed, and sighed. They didn't seem to remember, that you were supposed to go to Koenma's office that morning.
So you took it upon yourself to go find him, though you didn't know his name or anything, you did know he was related to Ace; therefore you had to find him! You followed your instincts, to two double doors, as you walk in you see a baby!! Slightly confused you slowly enter, and think `isn't this here I saw Koenma?' The baby looks at you and says, as if reading your mind, “sorry, I'm Koenma, let me change…” There was a poof up blue smoke, and a loud popping sound. When the smoke cleared Ace, once again stood in front of you. You just look at him calmly, having mentally prepared for this and simply walk up to him. You give him a now-I-have-meet-you-so-bye look, nod your head, and turn around and leave, leaving Koenma speechless. `I just can't get her eyes out of my mind…it's like she burned their image in to my eyes.' Thought Koenma as you slowly walked out of the room.
You slowly walk back to the living room with every one looking at you. You don't like it and it seems like an eternity till Yusuke gets up and puts his arm around you and leads you to the couch. He sits you on the end next to him so no one else can sit next to you, `just like him.' You think. “Hay I know, lets watch a movie!!” says Botan. She looks at the many movies on the shelf as the gang all automatically sits on the couch, but Keiko is at a loss being as you are in her seat. Yusuke pushes Kuwabara away for him leaving room for Keiko. He smirks and Keiko sits down. “Urameshi, your so lucky a girl on each side!” mopes Kuwabara, then Hiei says sarcastically, “Oh yes please share just how you manage to be so lucky, detective.”
Botan finally picks out a movie, she decides on `the Ring'. The first thing out of Yusuke's mouth is, “WHAT IS THAT RATED!!??”. Boton cowers in a corner and says “R….”. As if by programming you get up and walk into the hall… then Yusuke says good night. You keep walking down the hallway, but realizes you don't have anywhere to go. You think `they probably think I know where I'm going.' You turn down endless halls till your good and lost. Then you sink down on the floor leaning on the wall, and call on Bob. `Hay you there?' you ask. A swift replay comes, `yes of course I'm always here it just seems like I go away cause you never pay any attention to me any more. Oh hay you know those last two attempts at dieing, pure genus.' He complimented. `Yes thank you…I think.' You reply. `Hay you know if you stay lost long enough, I'm sure you would die.' He says slowly. `Will you ever give up?' you think back and shut him up in his corner of your mind. You get comfy, curl up on the floor, and fall asleep.
(started falling asleep right about here)
**next day*
`goooooood morning sleepy head' said bob as the pain for a crick in your neck came back. `Sooooooo, any thing wrong like oh say *the dream you just had about rabid ferrets attacking you?' ..'hu, I had a dream about ferrets?' you asked, `no, but you're awake now aren't you?'. You think about beating him up, but then realize, your lost. You slowly get up look right, look left, you start walking and find that it all looks the same, the same halls the same doors. You wonder if you should try some of them. You were about to knock on the door of one when the girl with pink eyes comes flying through the wall.
Yu nearly fall over but rub your eyes calmly instead, “Hay Lunar, Yusuke has been looking all over for you, he is soooooo worried!”. Even wile telling you this news you are stunned not only by how big she is smiling, but by the fact that she was floating 3 feet off the ground the whole time!!! `Dude, you could use that to go up really high in the air and then fall!' said bob inthusctaly, trying to get you to move towards it. This freaked you out, `what are you doing? I didn't know you could control my body!', a pause of silence as you slowly were forced toward the very confused floating girl.
**Hiei's view**
I had been racing all around koenma's `keep' all day. Looking for the silent girl, the dectives `little sister'. When I heard Botn talking I went there, to find the shrangest sight. The girl a look of fear, seemingly being pushed towards Boton's oar that was floating in the air. `Yusuke warned her about that!!' I thought, I did a little look-see in her mind. She was to busy trying to get that suggestive voice in her head to stop moving her, to notice my intrusion. I wasn't worried, if the voice really wanted her dead he'd have done this `body take over' with a knife in one hand. Besides the voice is just courious. As I dove her memories were normal, growing up, life in genral, But everything was on mute, I never once even when she was talking to Yusuke in memories, heard her talk or any one else for that matter. Finaly I found her dreams, there was only one. It had played in her mind at night only twice before, and it seemed she'd dreamed of nothing else, ever. When the dream started it was shocking. All sound was present, right down to the turning of pages in books, to her and the man's heart beat. This picture was more real then her life! More vived. `It' almost like that is real life and her life is just a dream' I thought.
As I left her mind, I spoke. “Lunar.”
She looked at me with reconioion, as the fight for control of her body was won.
“Come on, your brother wants you.”
**Your view**
The way Hiei's voice sounded eccoing off the walls, you couldn't help but note the low vice, fill with a lot of nothing, it sounded hollow with out being hollow. The scary thing was when he said your name, it sent chills up your spine. You nod and follow him when he turns around and walk off. Boton takes off through the walls. Hiei walks a few steps, turns left, right, left right, left, left, left you were sure you were going around the same halls, but followed silently. The halls stop and you find yourself again in the living room. You can see Yusuke's back turned to you, and as soon s you get with in 4 feet of him, he turns around and smiles at you, jumps off the couch and hugs you. “Enuff love!” said Kuabara as Yusuke sits you don on the couch. Then Yusuke glares at him, and says, “What are we going to do now?” well. Botan jums up out of nowhere and says really loud in Yusuke's ear, “TRUTH OR DARE!!!!”
Startled Yusuke thinks around it for a wile, then says, “OK but no one can dare my sis!” and sits on the floor. The rest of the gang sits around forming a circle, and Botan starts. “Yusuke, truth or dare?” “uhhh, dare?”
(game of truth or dare, have to come up with good ones……)
After all the commotion of the day before everyone was back to normal. As normal as they get……
So now if you've read all that, now I can tell you this is just one of her lives, and every year she relives, on her birthday the person closest to her heart dies, and a new life starts….

I don't know should I keep it?
Fix it up, make it better less confusing…..I wrote this like 2 years ago…..icky!
