Chapter 1
"GET HER!" the yells bounced off the walls as I dashed down the massive hallway. Pictures of my past ancestors leered down at me as I passed, and the lighting was dim. My breathing was laboured, and my head pounded. But I ignored this and kept running. I had to keep the jewel safe. I had to. They were getting closer. I rounded a corner, and found myself staring at the wall of a dead end. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. One of the soldiers leered at me. "Ha-ha! We got you now princess!" I wrapped one of my arms around my stomach and tried to staunch the bleeding. But it was no use. I opened my other hand and looked down at the ping-pong sized orb in the center of it. Using the last of the little power I had left, I whispered "take me to a safe place." Before collapsing, and succumbing to the blackness.
NO-ONES POV:
Skipping down the dirt path that lead to Shigures home, Ayame Sohma was going to pay one of his best friends a visit. He couldn't wait to see Tohru, Kyo, and especially Yuki! He gave a little twirl, and continued skipping. Then suddenly, a few feet away, a girl appeared. She was floating at about the height of Ayame's face. Immediately, being the idiot that he is, he ran over. Just as he reached her, she abruptly dropped, and landed in Ayame's arms. He looked at her, and noticed she had very laboured breathing, her face was covered with blood and dirt, and her stomach was seeping blood. Snapping out of it, he held her close to his chest and dashed towards Shigures house with double the speed from before. As soon as he got there, he kicked the door in, smashing Kyo's face in the process, and yelled, "Shigure! Tohru! Hurry! We got an emergency! Call Hatori!" And everyone came running.
Shigure gasped, Tohru squeaked, Yuki said "oh my." And Kyo yelled "What the hell?" Being the first to jump into action, Yuki called the Hatori, the family doctor, and everyone else ran around like chickens with their heads cut off. When the doctor finally arrived, he started ordering everyone around. "Tohru, Get some towels. Shigure, some hot water. Yuki bandages. And Ayame, explain to me what happened after I get her cleaned up." And with that, he took her from Ayame, and with a swish of his doctors coat, he disappeared upstairs. After collecting everything, and coming back downstairs again, there was a long silence until Kyo asked "was it just me? Or did anyone else notice that neither Ayame or Hatori changed when they were holding her." Another long silence, then yells of "What! Your right! That so weird!" could be heard even all the way upstairs. Hatori came out for a second to yell at them "SHUT UP!" before disappearing back into the room.
Tohru, the ever helpful one, rushed upstairs to see if Hatori needed any help. When she walked downstairs again, she was holding a whole bunch of bloody towels. Each of them was covered, and everyone else didn't want to imagine what the wounds were to cause so much blood. After waiting downstairs for four hours, Hatori finally came down, looking a bit ruffled up, and blood all over his doctors coat. He looked like he had just come from some major surgery. "She's all patched up now. She had a huge gash across the stomach, and her head was cut open. Now, Ayame, could you tell me what happened?" and so the silver haired man did. Well, what little he knew of how she came here. "All I know was that as I was coming here, she appeared out of thin air and landed in my arms!" now everyone was looking at him like he was a loon. Yuki sighed, then turned to Hatori asking "can we go see her?" with a nod of approval from the doctor, everyone went upstairs to see the mystery girl. When they got there, she was laying on freshly changed bed sheets that were on Tohru's bed.
All the boys blushed at her clothes. Or lack thereof. They hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that everything had calmed down, they had a good look at her. All she was wearing was a long piece of silk cloth tied around her waist to cover the important parts in the front, and was long in the back. For her top, she had another piece of cloth around her chest but it looked to be a light airy sort of material. Both of the pieces of cloth looked like they were supposed to be pure white. But now, they were muddy and stained with blood. Her dainty hands with long fingers had a ring on each of her middle fingers and were laying gently one each side of her. She also had some silver bands around her upper arms. She was bare-foot, and had a silver anklet on, with a beautiful purple Jewel. her long knee length black hair was splayed out, and some was draped over her shoulder. Her long luscious eyelashes rested against her cheeks and her full pink lips were slightly pouty. Lying there, she looked so peaceful, so serene. And the boys were in a trance. Waving a hand in front of their faces, Tohru was worried for her friends. Right now, Shigure was having a pervert fantasy which I refuse to describe.
Bazillions of thoughts were going through each boys mind. Everyone snapped out of their thoughts when she moaned. Rushing over to her, Tohru asked "Is she waking up?" which was sort of a stupid question, because it was quite obvious she was. Eyes fluttering, she woke up to reveal her unnatural violet coloured orbs. Looking around at everyone, her eyes widened, and she yelled "Alanahae!" while scooting towards the corner of the bed. Falling over, she quickly got back up and stood hastily, and went to the corner of the room. As soon as Ayame tried to take a step towards her, she crossed her arms into an X shape and formed a force field around herself. Everyone gasped in amazement. She held out for another moment, before her force field flickered, and then died away. She stumbled, and fell, and Ayame caught her before her head hit the floor. Looking into his eyes, she reached up and stroked his cheek and said "Jafen." Before passing out.
