I'm trying my best here.... :) Thanks, I love ya all!!
" Alright class, there's the bell. Have a safe spring break and I'll see you in a week," said the teacher as he began to put his papers into his briefcase. " Anne, Kara, can you stay behind for a moment?"
The two young girls approached the teachers desk and stood silently as the rest of the class filed out the room heading for a long week of fun and relaxation. Anne Wolf, a young girl of seventeen, with long flowing blue hair and piercing green eyes stood, staring at her teacher, biting her nails in nervousness. Kara Himaro, the eighteen year old girl who had been Anne's best friend since kindergarten, twisted a strand of her short soft purple hair between her fingers as her dark blue eyes stared intently on her teacher. As the last student walked out of the room their teacher sat down in his chair and folded his arms against his chest.
" The reason I've asked you two to stay behind is because I'm concerned about your history marks. Kara, on the last test you didn't answer a single question, and Anne although you may have answered every question on the test, your answers did not apply to anything I asked. So, as much as I hate to do this, I'm assigning you both homework over the break."
" What!" cried Kara as her dreams of relaxation and fun slowly faded away. " You can't do that! That's why it's called a break!"
" I understand that, but if you girls have any intention of passing this class then I suggest that you both do this project. I want each of you to take a historical character and write me a three thousand word essay on them. I also want you both to prepare a presentation for me, which you will give on the first day back from break. Understand?"
The two girls nodded reluctantly as they grabbed their bags and headed towards the door. They walked out of the school and were met by the bright warm sun.
" Can you believe this?" sighed Kara as she threw her bag over her shoulder and walked down the stairs. " So much for a nice break, now we have to spend it doing this stupid project."
" It's our own fault you know. If we studied more, we probably wouldn't be in this predicament. Should we go to the library?" asked Anne as she followed her best friend down the stairs.
" Do we have a choice? The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can get back to relaxing."
The cool spring breeze swept through the trees as the two girls walked down the sidewalk in the direction of the library. They had only walked a few blocks when suddenly Kara stopped.
" Come on Kara, you always do this. Let's just go. The library closes soon!"
" I can't help it Anne," said Kara as she walked towards a tall oak tree standing in the middle of the park. " There's something about this tree. Whenever I'm near it I just get this feeling inside of me."
" Kara...it's a tree."
" I know it's just a tree, but there's something...more..." said Kara as she placed her hand against the bark of the tree.At that exact moment Kara felt a surge of energy rush through her entire body. Her eyes widened as she gasped for breath.
" Kyoshiro Mibu."
" Onimeno Kyo."
" Hold it!"
" You are..."
" You don't remember?"
" Kyoshiro Mibu...I've been sent here by Sakuya. I am Yukimura Sanada."
" Kara!" cried Anne as she grabbed ahold of her friend's hand and tried to pry it off of the tree. However, as soon as her hand made contact with the tree she too felt the surge of energy flood her body. Their bodies could no longer handle the sensation and the two girls collapsed at the base of the large oak tree.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Anne's eyes shot open. How long have I been out for? she thought as she slowly lifted her body up. She quickly glanced over at her friend who still lay passed out beneath the tree.
" Kara! Wake up Kara!" she cried as she tried to shake her friend back to consciousness.
Kara stirred and slowly raised herself into a sitting position. " What happened?"
" We passed out. Get up, it's getting dark, we have to get home" said Anne as she took her friends hand and helped her to her feet.
" Anne...where are we?" asked Kara as she looked around at the lush forest that now surrounded them. The sidewalk and street were gone. The playground equipment had all but disappeared. All around them were tall trees and large bushes, there were no other people.
" What is this place?" whispered Anne as she looked up at the bright red sky above them. The sun was setting and it was getting dark. " We've got to figure out where we are."
" We're in a forest," replied Kara bluntly.
" No shit Kara, but where? I mean one minute your having an intimate moment with that stupid tree and the next we're here!"
" I heard voices...and names..." said Kara.
" What, in your head?" asked Anne. " You really have gone crazy haven't you...first the obsession with the tree and now voices in your head! Did they tell you who to do your project on? Why do I even hang arou- "
" Yukimura Sanada..." whispered Kara.
" What? What the hell are you talking about?" protested Anne.Suddenly there was a rustling in the tree above where Anne was standing. She took a couple steps back as she tried to focus on what was making the noise. " Did you hear that?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Kara saw something in the long grass glisten in the soft moonlight. She slowly bent down and reached her hand out, closing her fist around the hilt of a sword. A sword? thought Kara. But why is it here? She didn't think twice, she raised it in front of herself as she stepped in front of Anne.
" Where the hell did you get that? And what are you going to do with it?" whispered Anne with a mix of nervousness and frustration in her voice.
" Once it shows itself I'll attack it..." muttered Kara.
" What if it's bigger than us you moron? You don't know how to use a sword!"
" If it's hiding in a tree it can't be bigger than us...right?"
" How do you know Yukimura?" said a young voice from up in the tree.
" It-it's a person!" cried Anne as she took a few more steps back to distance herself from the voice.
" Show yourself!" cried Kara as she twisted the sword in her hands raising it up in defense.
" Answer me! How do you know Yukimura Sanada!"
" I DON'T!" cried Kara.
" LIAR! I heard you say his name!" cried the voice.
" Sasuke."
Kara and Anne froze at the sound of yet another strange voice. This one however, came from behind them. Anne turned around to see a shadow looming in the midst of the trees.
" Miss Yuya, I'm glad you're alright," said the man as he emerged from the trees to show himself. " Not many escape with their lives after meeting the Angel of Death."
The two girls looked up into the tree as a young boy leapt down and landed gracefully on the ground. The tall man grabbed Anne by the hand and pulled her away from Kara.
" Let her go!" cried Kara as she raised the sword in front of her.
The tall man walked closer to Kara, never taking his eyes off her. " Sasuke. Get Miss Yuya out of here. I'll take care of the Angel."
Why are they calling Anne, Miss Yuya? He thinks I'm the Angel of Death? thought Kara as she slowly lowered her sword. " I'm not...You have me mistaken with someone else!"
" Anaka Kiamoto, are you not?" said the man as he placed his hands upon his hips. The young boy grabbed Anne and carried her off into the forest leaving Kara and the man alone.
" No! I'm not!" protested Kara. " I'm-"
" The Angel of Death...I know," said the man.
" Bring her back here right now or I'll...I'll..."
" Kill me?"
" Stop putting words in my mouth!"
" Hmph," said the man as a smile crept across his face.
" Who are you?" asked Kara as she wrestled with the idea of fighting the man before her.
" I am Yukimura Sanada."
" Kyoshiro Mibu...I've been sent here by Sakuya. I am Yukimura Sanada."
" Yukimura...Sanada...?" whispered Kara as she stared at the tall man who was preparing to draw his sword against her. Where were they, and how had they gotten here? The only thing Kara knew for sure was that she was longer in her own world.
