That Which Survives
Prologue
"Haku...don't hurt the...mortal boy. He didn't mean...to kill me."
"I won't."
But he wasn't sure if he could control himself. He'd try, for her sake.
"Watch over my river for me when I'm gone."
She lay there, gasping for breath. She was dieing, and he couldn't do anything to help her.
"Haku?"
"Yes?"
"You'll find...my next reincarnation...in a few years...They'll...come...to you...at the...Bath House...I...don't know...how long...you'll...have to...wait...maybe... ten years...but... they'll come..."
She didn't speak again for at least fifteen minutes.
"Haku?"
She struggled to get the one word out.
"Yes, Tirien?"
"I...I...love you...and...always...will...no matter...who...or what...I...become."
"As I will."
She breathed no more.

It was ten years to the day that Tirien, Goddess of the river Seine, had died, that he found her.
She was a spoiled, bratty ten year old, but she was Tirien's reincarnation. He was sure of it.

All right, this is my second SA fic. Don't expect an update a week, because I have a very busy life. I'll try to get one every two weeks, but I won't guarantee it. The prologue is Romance/Angst, but the rest of the story will be Humor/Romance, with a little side of Angst.
This is dedicated to CanYouLoveTheImaginary, because I love her SA fic, and she loves angst.
This is the first story in the That Which Survives series. I expect that there will be four stories in the series, maybe five, but definetly three. Their titles are as follows: A Year in the Merde, A Year in the Steam, and A Year with the Spirits.
Thank you also to Heavenlyfuries, my forum buddies, and Vedas, another forum buddy and the sole reveiwer to the first installment of The Naradeha Ai Collection, my other SA fic.
Live
Long and Prosper to all of you!
Please read and reveiw all of my SA stories!
