**********************************************
It had been years since she had last seen them, yet she thought about them everyday. Taka was gone, killed in a motorcycle accident. But, he was not dead at the same time. Miaka knew that he had been sucked back into the book. The book, like Taka, had also disappeared. Miaka missed Taka terribly. He had been a friend, as well as her lover. And, her husband as well. They had gotten married Miaka had finished high school. Her mother and Keisuke had thought it was a bad idea. They thought that she and Taka weren't ready for such a big step in their lives. But, Taka had remained firm in his decision. "I love Miaka," he had said. "She's my light, the other half of my soul. I will not back down from my decision." Then he had turned and smiled lovingly at her, and all was well. Now, three years after their marriage had begun, he was gone. All Miaka had of him were his photos, letters, and her wedding band. And, her memories.
**********************************************
Keisuke stood in the doorway to his sister's room, trying to figure out what he could possibly say or do to help ease Miaka's pain. Miaka, dressed in a white shirt and a pair of jeans, was curled up in a ball on the window seat in her and Taka's- no, her bedroom. She looked out the window at the flowers in bloom, the warm sunshine kissing everything with a golden touch. She sighed, and felt the tears welling up in her eyes with that tiny sound. Keisuke sighed as well, and walked over to his sister, putting his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Miaka." he whispered in his ear. "I wish that we could have at least found Taka's body to bury..." Miaka knew that that was impossible, though. At the scene of the accident, the investigators had found no body, but they wouldn't. Taka was gone. He had left her, all alone. Miaka whimpered softly at those thoughts, and pushed Keisuke away. "Just leave me alone, Keisuke, please." she whispered, trembling slightly. "No, Miaka." Keisuke's voice was firm. "I'm sorry that Taka's gone, okay? I liked him, a lot." He looked straight at her. "But, you can't keep moping around here. That won't change anything." "No!" Miaka cried. "Taka-" "Is NEVER COMING BACK." Keisuke grabbed his sister by the shoulders and shook her. "Stop tormenting yourself, Miaka. You have to accept that fact!" "I don't believe you, Keisuke!" Miaka cried, tears running down her cheeks. "Miaka..." Keisuke literally growled. She stood up suddenly, running past her brother, out of her bedroom, down the stairs, and through the front door; trying to forget everything Keisuke had just said to her. Keisuke ran after her, afraid at what she might do in her present state. Miaka ran out into the middle of the street, determined to get away from him. "Miaka, watch out!" Keisuke cried. She turned and saw a car coming straight at her, with no way to avoid her. She stood there, motionless, until the car was about six inches away from her. Then she screamed, a loud shriek, as the car hit her with a sickening "Thump!". "Oh Kami-sama!" Keisuke cried, running to where his sister's body had fallen. The driver of the car got out, a scared-looking man in his late teens. "I didn't mean to hit her! She was just right there!" "Just go and call for help, baka!" Keisuke ordered him, and the teen nodded, running to the nearest house. Miaka moaned, opened up her eyes to see the world spinning all around her, and then everything went black.

Well, that's the start to my fanfic. Tell me what you think, okay? Sayonara for now!
