A/N: This is an old story and one of my best on my website-I just had to post it! This was originally going to be a saga, but it's a mini series for now, Vindicated will also be updated regularly.

Part One

Since the massive change that occurred in the country of Tokyo-our time traveling companions have changed, and shied away from another in that have cut the group deeply, and could never heal. The deceit of the one they all thought they knew, the addition of one they did not know enough of , the change of one they all thought could toughen up through hard times and smile through it all, made the four suffer in unimaginable ways.

Fai and Sakura faced matching moods. Suicidal. Wary, tired with life, looking for ways to persuade the arms of death to welcome the two. However trying to outwit their reluctant protectors, both a ghost of what they used to be, the latter simply a ghost in the other three's minds. Of ghost of one they all thought knew and loved. Also noting that said person would be overjoyed to ruin a good suicide attempt. Jade eyes opened in confusion, she couldn't remember a time that she had been so pessimistic. But that was just it. She couldn't remember being anyone but somebody who she had to pretend to be. No matter how weak the timid innocent behavior she enacted suggested. Why did she have to caught in this scheme to rule the dimensions through a psychotic wizard with a god complexes plan? Why was she made to live to be this person? Why did he have to be involved? Why,Why,why? She continued to ask herself, eyes tearing up as she flopped down om her stomach in her bed, crying soft muffled sobs into her pillow, clutching it tightly to her chest

I wish to be anything....anyone!' she pleaded inwardly to herself. Angry tears sufficing once more a she wondered if some wishes came true that way...

A smashed, drunk, and practically wasted couple stumbled over each other, giggling like hormonal teenagers, the people passing by genuinely disgusted at their forward contact they initiated, grasping at each other, locking eyes, light and above the world as they ignored the strangers who gave them disapproving looks. The navy haired male grasped the lime green haired girl's shoulders, kissing her swiftly, the girl bit his lip hard and he broke away dubiously. Her ringlets bounced as she swung forward in his arms to kiss him back passionately. It took a horrible turn as the male made a breathy remark.

" You are too good, where do you get your experience? The streets?" he laughed, ignoring her suddenly smoldering hazel eyes. her hands tightened at his collar.

"No, your best friend Suoh!" she said sarcastically, but at this point in their minds, everything said was literal and blurred between the lines of pleasant or scathing.

He pushed her away suddenly, bark colored eyes fiery and mad. " Don't be shitting me you whore!"

Hazel eyes blinked slowly, hurt filing through her, before the feral side shoved at her boyfriend angrily.

"What the hell's your problem you jackass?! I was joking!" the navy haired teen fell on his but on the wooden planks of the docks they had spent all afternoon, endless water stretched beneath him. He looked up angrily and pushed off of his palms to his feet as he grabbed her lime green ringlets, pulling her to him.

"My problem?! You sounded like you meant it-" he knocked her on her back, her scalp bleeding.

"-And I would believe that." The green haired girl pushed herself off the planks in a similar fashion as she tackled hetr lover into the water, ignoring the fact that they both did not know how to swim.

The brawl took action underwater, it turned ugly as grabbing turned to choking, it became a competition for the two...

as they both died underwater. Each from drowning the other.
