Chapter Ichi

A young peony hedgehog ran through a forest. Lightning ripped the night sky as the storm continued. She was scared, the young girl knew those two meant to kill her.

She rested by a tree, panting and wincing in pain, there were cuts and scratches all over both her arms, blood trailed down the side of her face, her lungs and ribs ached as if on fire.

It didn't help that the wind pelted her face and the cold wind chilled her soaked body, she shivered and hugged herself.

Though the sleeves of her kimono were long, she was still shivering. The wind played with her bangs and quills and she took out the item her two followers wanted.

It was a round mirror incased in stone, around the mirror surface was four small emerald shards, hanging by a chain was a small silver blade. She clutched the mirror close.

It was known as the Mirror of Chaos, its powers were unknown to those who hold it, but it was well known that it can grant anyone and everyone's desire... but for a price... small desires... small amount of blood, medium desires... medium amount of blood, big desires... a sacrifice.

It was given to her by an older hedgehog woman to protect with her very life. The girl furled and unfurled her elegant wings and winced in pain, one of her wings was broken. Her one desire was to fly, the mirror granted it to her, it gave her long flowing wings that when they are closed, the tips brushed the ground, most of the wings were white while the tips were emerald green, the mirror's signature. She held the mirror close and memories of how the kind old Shrine Priestess had taken her in and had entrusted her with the mirror.

=========== FLASHBACK ===========

"Now child, listen and listen well. This mirror is a rare treasure that was found many years ago. It has great powers that even I can not understand. If in the right hand, it can be used for good… but if it falls into the wrong hands… it can be used for evil. I am entrusting this with you."

"Why me?"

"Because child, I believe that you can keep this safe from those who wants it to harm others."

"I… I can't take this…"

"Please child, promise me that you will protect this mirror."

"… I… promise…"

=========== END OF FLASHBACK ===========

She clutched the mirror close as she remembered these two people came into the old lady's house, demanding for them to hand over the mirror, to where the old priestess told her to grab the mirror and run. She got of the house, but they caught her and tried to force her to give them the mirror. The peony teen refused and managed to get out of their grasp and elude them 'til now.

Her sensitive ears caught a tree branch snapping, she turned to the noise and ran. She neared a lake and she clenched her eyes tight as more lightning ripped through the sky and thunder followed. She stepped on a slimy rock and twisted her ankle. She yelped in pain and fell forward, the mirror fell out of her hands and rolled towards a lake. The teen got up and limped after the mirror, she grabbed it and held it close. Her shoulder heaved as tears spilled out of the corner of her eyes. A voice like a comforting whisper like that of a sweet gentle song floated to her ears.

- Girl… what is the matter?-

She shook her head and replied "I… I can not do this… I am so sorry mirror…" silence between the two last for a minute when the mirror replied back – I understand…- she slowly stood up on shaky legs and limped over to a pile of rocks. She held the mirror high over her head and tried to force her arms to bring the mirror down, she soon lowered her arms and slid to the wet muddy forest ground and sat there as the rain pounded down on her "I can not do it… I just can not." She said weakly.

She heard noises again and fear appeared in her eyes "They are coming!" she looked down at the mirror again "I can not let them have you…" she placed the mirror down and said "Mirror of Chaos… I provoke your powers, hear my voice! Show me my one desire!" the reflected surface glowed and it showed the peony girl disappearing from the forest and reappearing somewhere safe – You wish for us to be away from here in a safe place.- the mirror answered "Yes." And she reached to press a forearm to the mirror, when she realizes that her cuts had stopped bleeding, so she reached for the blade.

Before she placed a finger on it, "Stop right there!" she whirled to see her two pursuers five feet from her, one was unarmed, but the other had a crossbow in her hands "This is becoming tiresome, just give us the mirror and we'll let you go." The teen slowly shook her head and screamed "No! I will not let you have my mirror!" she turned back to the mirror and felt pain flare through her right shoulder. Her eyes widen and she slumped to the forest floor she placed a shaky hand to her shoulder and came away with blood, she turned to the mirror and saw that lots of her blood had spill on the mirror. She reached for it as the mirror began to glow, her vision swam and once she pulled the mirror in her embrace, the glow engulfed her and vanished before the two pursuers eyes.

Tails Prower yawns and sat up from his work. He had been working for hours and he needed a break. He went outside in the cool air, it was so peaceful that night. "It's so nice tonight, I wonder if the others are enjoying it as well." Tails spoke to soon, the night sky rumbled as if telling a storm was coming. The wind picked up and shook the palm trees, Tail fought the wind and looked up at the sky "Odd, there was no sign of a storm and no one said there was one coming any time soon." He said to himself.

Lightning flared and more thunder rumbled. "Wow!" Tails exclaimed as his eyes widen. A large lightning ripped through the sky and Tails saw someone fall out of the sky and landed in the lake. "Did I see someone…?" Tails took off for the lake to help the person.

The peony teen felt cold water press around her, she let her breath out and choked on water, she blinked up at the watery surface, she hadn't the strength to bring herself to the surface, as she began to drown, when she thought she saw someone dive into the water, everything went black after that.

She opened her weary eyes and stared confused at where she was. "Where… where am I…?" she said hoarsely. The door creaked open and a young kitsune appeared before her "You're awake, I was worried that you wouldn't…" he said and she saw in his eyes that he was telling the truth. "Where am I?" she asked him "You're in my home in the Mystic Ruins." He answered. She felt tired and sighed "What… happened…?" it hurt to talk "You fell out of the sky." He told her "I… did?" and he nodded "Did you… rescue me?" "Yeah." "Thank… you…" she told him.

"You welcome. I'm Tails, what's yours?" Tails asked "My name… is… Kii…" she told him "Pretty name." he noticed that Kii's eyes were closing "You should sleep, sorry for talking to you and keeping you up." He gave a friendly smile and said "Goodnight Kii." And he left. Kii felt so tired and ached, especially in the heart /Tails seems so nice… such nice things never last with me… once I am healed… he will have me leave…/ tears ran down her face as she felt sleep take hold on her.

As soon as Tails left Kii to sleep, he went to the phone and dialed Sonic's number again. He waited for counted the dial and hoped Sonic was home "Please be home Sonic…" he begged. He was about to put the phone down when "Hello? Sonic speaking." "Hey Sonic, it's me Tails." "Hey Tails! What with the call so late at night?" Sonic asked "Well… did you see the strange storm an hour ago?" "Yeah. What about it?" I think you should come over tomorrow, there's someone I want you see…" next to Tails was Kii's mirror.
