And if you are new reader, you won't be that confused if you just read this story, but it would be nice if you read the first one "Can this get any Worst" .. I'll stop blabbing now and start.

A light mist flouted with out care around a glass pound, that just seen to be resting in the early morning dusk. Trees could be seen through the lighting haze, giving the leaves a gray color, but still they held their green beauty. In this mist three woman stood, their faces hidden in that morning blur, but the mist did not hid their angelic glow. They where all facing each other in circle, the shorter of the two moved her hands in such a action that looked to be hope. It was soon followed by her soft tranquil voice "There is a way" her words flouted with the mist, soft and gray.
"Yes" a voice not of the shorter one, but of the tallest, her long hair could be see flouting behind her, the mist could not hid such a sight.
"But" came the last, eyes so bright and glassy that the thickest fog could not hide. "There is a price" her worlds where strong and serious telling the girl there will be dangers. A roge wing blew whipping the mist around them, hair flew, but none moved. This was their time, not the time of the elements.
"What is the price?" She did not miss a beat as the wind tore of her pleated hair. The wind died and so did the voice if the tallest woman, she pushed back her long hair, her eyes full of secretes of the ages. Her mouth moved letting her words be carried away with the lifting mist.

Morning light burst through the kitchen window of the Minamino house bringing a light smile to Shiori pretty face. The light dusted her face while she towled dried the morning meals dishes. Her hair was back in a low braid, tied with a whit bow, a blue winters dress graced her figured, to add to her household look, a whit apron was tied around her slim waist. She glanced from her work at a simple round clock that hung just to the side of the kitchen window. She gave a smile sigh "Shuichi!" she called turning towards the kitchen entrance way. Not to long after her call did her son walk in fumbling with his cufflinks. He was dressed quite nice, white dress shit and black dress pants, and a tie that had yet to be tied.
Shiori gave a small smile while she place down her dish and walked to him. "Nervous?" she asked taking his hand and doing the job for him.
"Not really" was his answer while his mother nodded her hand and took the other arm.
"Are you sure" she tapped his hand telling his she was done, she then continued to his caller and tie.
"Yes mother, being nervous only leads to mistakes" He looked down at her as she finished, she tapped his shoulder as to dust something off.
"That's what makes us human" she turned and undid her apron, while Shuichi smiled and loose his black tie . Only human.

Light flickered of a golden heart locked that hung from a sliver chain, which was dangling from the hand of a beautiful angle standing at the edge of a glass pound. Her hair was long a black, natural waves made it look like a black waterfall. A whit silk dress wrapper around her like natural blanket. Beautiful golden angle winds at her back. Her dark eyes just as glassy as the water, gazed at her daughter. Her face serious and unmoven.
"Are you ready" her voice was smooth as snow, while the wind took her words and whipped them through the chilled air.
Eye's of glass harden while the wind whipped at her freed dark hair. "Tell me what I have to do" she stated while she walked towards her angelic mother. "You will no longer be human nor demon, you will be on borrowed time, time that you must give back to your giver, and when you have found what it is that lies deep with your caged heart will you finally be part of something new." Her words confused the daughter, but in her heart she understood them quite well.
"Also" smooth as the wind her voice travelled while she moved her arm placing the locked between them "this will be your life line, your hope, your everything until your are real. Guard this with your life, if not, there will be no life to guard." The young beauty reach for the locket "and" she stopped and looked deep within her mothers eyes. "You will have your memories, but ,at the same time, you won't" a little confused she didn't bother to ask, she would not get a answer. "Now, I'll say again, are you ready?"
With no hesitation she took the locket "I'll ways have been" and with that a light so bright the dark would run she was gone. "Goodbye" she voice faded with the light, all that was left was the angle, her hair blowing in the wind, tears dusted her deep glassy eyes. "Goodbye" she let the wind take her tears to the forgotten sky "My Kodie".

"Quick someone call 911"
Voices, I can hear voices,
"is she dead mamma?" a child, why does that bring something back.
"lady can you hear me, if you can I'm a paramedic, your going to be just fine" I struggled to open my eyes, but it was to painful.Pain, I can feel pain, why is that a shock to me?.

Shuichi pulled into a long cobbled stone drive way, he could see the large size house through the evergreen trees that outlined the front yard. He has businesses here today and he was late, there was a accident along the highway, a girl was found laying in the middle of the rode, she was lucky no one hit her. He didn't know much, but as he passed he caught a glimpse of silver hair, a strange color for a young girl.
But he didn't sense anything from her, so he didn't even bother to take a second look. He stopped the car and got out, he let out a sigh, he didn't want to be here. He was told two weeks ago about the business he had here, he was angry at first. But how can he stay angry, when his mother words were starting to sound righter by each passing day.
He sucked in his thoughts and walked towards the large black western style door, he didn't even get a knock in when it flew open. A young girl dress in a purple maid outfit smiled at him "Mr. Tattko has been waiting." he smile and gave his apologizes, she looked to be no more the 18, pretty little thing, probably working to get though school.
"Please come in, it's quite chilly out today" she rushed out pulling him into the oversized house.

I can hear it, the beeping sound of monders, I can smell the cleaners used in this room, I can feel the warmth of the blankest over me. I'm alive, and I can't remember what happen to me. It's strange really, I feel like there is something important missing, and peace of me really. I want to cry right now, but I know I'm still asleep. Sleep, strange thing, I don't even remember the last time I've felt sleep. Was I dead before this, or was I just alive in some perfect world where nothing hurts or feels.
"Her vitals signs are normal, she should wake up in the next day or so" A male, sounds strong and nice, he'll want to ask me questions when I wake up, question I can't answer.
"Did you contact the family?' Family? What is that? "No, she has no ID on her, I don't even know her name" Name what is my name? it's there, it's like I can see it, feel it, but I just can't reach it, say it, think it.
"A runaway?" Runaway, I haven't run from anything.
----
"Please sit" Mr. Tattko offered while he sat in a black leather arm chair across from the couch he offered to Shuichi. Between them sat a glass coffee table with papers scatter across it. Papers he didn't want to sign. "As you where told, this agreement was made well before you where born and can not be changed since you have not found…" Shuichi held up his hand stopping the man.
"I understand the agreement, and it still states that I don't have to sign until another 6 months." The man's dark blue eyes smirked at his statement.
"Can you find someone in that time that you will be willing to marry?" Shuichi eyes harden, this man knew to much, and he knew it. His mother, with out him knowing, told the old man about his love for Kodie and how he lost her, and even after two years still could not get over her.
"I will not sign the agreement until my 21st birthday, this will also give your daughter a chance as well." his voice was smooth and clam as he watched the old mans eyes harden while he leaned back in his chair.
"Fine, it will be announce on your 21st birthday that you will be taking my daughter hand in marriage." Shuichi stood you and held out his hand "If in the cause I do not find someone else" he made sure he added that. "Now" he added picking up one of the papers "lets have this in writing"

She awoke, confused and scared, everything seem new yet familiar, she had no memory of anything, not even her name. Her hair was of silver, like the stats so far in our night sky, her eyes where of the most deepest navy blue, small rings of gold scatter through them.
"Your awake" came a sweet voice that soothed her, she looked and saw a woman with deep brown hair and deep brown eyes. The woman was dressed in a simple red sweater and white knee high skirt, on her sweater was a tag what said volunteer.
She looked harder, there was something about this girl, something familiar but she couldn't remember what is was. The woman walked to her "Do you need anything before I go get Dr. Smith?" she just looked at the woman, it was like she also forgot how to speak. She looked at the tag again and read the name "Kayko Yukimura" Kayko blinked then smiled "Yes that's me, how rude of me not to have introduced myself earlier." She didn't speak she just nodded her head, "what is your name, we found you with no ID"
The girl looked down "I don't remember" she said it quit, so quit Kayko had to lean in to hear her. "Oh my, that's horrible, don't worry I'm going to go get the doctor…" "That's alright Miss. Yukimura" she jumped at the Doctor voice.

"So when's the wedding?" Yusuke joked with a cocky grin, he and Kurama where sitting on Yusuke roof top drinking some beer and looking at the meader shower. Kurama had thrown Yusuke a look of hate while he gazed back at the shooting stars. Yusuke laughed and slugged back the last of his beer. "Take it your still trying to get out of it?" he asked whipping his mouth.
Kurama glanced back at him "I have until my 21st birthday to find a bride." Yusuke sighed and leaned back placing his arms behind his head. "That's in like 6 months, right?" he wonder as the balls of lights shot across the night sky.
"Is that enough to find a girl, fall in love and get married?" Kurama also wonder taking a slug of his beer.
Yusuke closed his eyes his mind was wondering, he himself had problems of his own, Kayko has been pushing lately about the wedding date, and Yusuke didn't want to be married just yet. "What about one of your fan girls, no one said you had to love them, or stayed married, just get devoiced like a year later"
Kurama gave a shutter, "I'd rather not" a wind whipped around them just as the shower ended, "Yusuke are you up there!?" Yusuke gave a jumped while Kurama gave a chuckle. Kayko didn't like it when they hung out on the roof top, she said it was to unnatural, not normal.
"What did I say?" she stressed as she stuck her head out the window. Yusuke looked back at her and grinned "just wanted to see the star shower" she shook her head then waved him in. "I got something to discuss with you" Yusuke gulped, this was never good.
"Hey Kurama you can have Kayko if you want" Kurama looked at him then at Kayko "I'll pass, she's more of a sister, and besides, she suits you better" Yusuke shot him a look then flickered back to the window.
Kurama look back up at the night sky and watch as the last few stars fell.You probably have the best view off all
