Tamashii-chan: I'm sorry the GX story I put up was deleted. It's because at the time I just had the character names up and didn't have the full story written, so deleted it. Well…

Leon-kun: Great! Now, thanks to we're never going to make our deadline!

Dawn-chan: Chill, Leon-kun, they didn't know.

Tamashii-chan: -.-+ (to herself) Thanks for interrupting.

Amy-chan: Besides, Kit-chan will help Tama-chan type it, won't ya Kit-chan?

Kitty-chan: …

Amy-chan: Earth to Kit-chan! Hello Kit-chan! Answer me!

Kitty-chan: Wait, what… … … yeah.

Tamashii-chan: Never mind. I'm just deleting the story all together. By the time I get it up, Halloween will be over with.

Amy-chan: NOOO! -Cries in a corner- It's not fair! I wanted to read it!

Tamashii-chan: Well, to make Amy feel better, I'm bringing over a story I wrote on Quizilla. It was Dawn-chan's idea.

Dawn-chan: He-he.

Tamashii-chan: Okay, now let's get started!

Chapter 1:

The Girl Named Ketara

"This is it! I've found it!" A girl exclaimed. She had long, red hair that was went down to her waist. Her eyes were blue and they sparkled like the deep waters of the ocean. She wore a long sleeved, brown shirt with a yellow tang top over it and light blue jeans. She was inside a cave known as Lantern Cavern, home to the famous Guardian ÄRM, Porthos.

Porthos was an ancient Unusual ÄRM in the form of a dragon that could master six elements: water, fire, air, earth, darkness, and light. It was the strongest ÄRM known to man before Phantom ruled with Babbo. The Guardian ÄRM was laying on a rock hundreds of feet above her head with spiral stairs leading up to it.

"If I get this ÄRM, maybe I would have a chance at beating Phantom in a duel," the girl said. She ran up the spiral case with her long, red hair blowing in the wind behind her. Ten minutes passed before she finally reached the top of the cavern.

Porthos was in the form of a necklace with a Chinese dragon at the end of it. The girl stared at the ÄRM, trying to decide if it was safe to lift up the ÄRM or not. If she did decide to pick it up, would a Guardian ÄRM come and attack her? Well, if a Guardian did attack, she decided she'd try to defend herself with her Weapon ÄRM, Pyro Saber, and if she got hurt, she'd heal herself with her Holy ÄRM, Aero Angel. She had it all figured out.

Cautiously, the girl lifted up the necklace and placed a rock with equal weight in Porthos's place. She held her breath for about five seconds, until she decided she could walk away.

This is too easy, she thought to herself. There should have been some kind of trap waiting for me. Porthos is one of the strongest ÄRM in MÄR for goodness sake! You'd think that...

As soon as the girl walked away, the stairs under her collapsed. She felt the stone crumble under her feet and let out a scream. She pulled on a string from her backpack, and a parachute opened from the inside. The girl gently landed on the ground, slipped the backpack off her shoulder, and ran as fast as she could down the corridor.

Before she could reach the exit, a huge lion-like creature blocked the exit and released a spine-chilling roar. It towered over her at about thirty feet in the air. The Guardian ÄRM bared its teeth at her and growled.

I knew this was too easy...

"Pyro Saber!" the girl called out. The bracelet-like ÄRM lit up, and she held in her right hand a three-foot long sword. Flames danced around the sword and her right arm as she stared into the cold, brown eyes of the Guardian ÄRM. A smirk appeared on her face, and she closed her eyes.

"Take this!" the girl yelled. She jumped into the air and attacked the Guardian ÄRM in front of her with one single slash. As she landed on the ground, she stared up at the Guardian ÄRM with wide eyes.

There's not one scratch on it! This is going to be a little harder than I thought...

Before she could get out of the way, the Guardian ÄRM lifted up its paw and slashed her from her right arm to her left hip. The girl let out a shriek of pain and fell backward ten feet. Blood dripped down her right shoulder and her stomach. She didn't have a lot of energy left, so she couldn't heal herself with her Holy ÄRM Aero Angel. The room started to spin, as her vision became blurry.

So, this is how it ends... I guess that Porthos was never... meant to leave this cave. Hopefully, someone will come along... and avenge my sister's death for me...

The girl lifted up her left arm and grabbed the necklace around her neck. She smiled at the thought of it and thought of the day she first put it on. As she lay on the ground, a bright light flashed in front of her eyes, and she saw a familiar dark shape in front of her.

"Tai?" she mumbled and fell into unconsciousness.

- - - FLASHBACK - - -

Slowly, the girl sat up, blinking her gray-blue eyes. Her red hair was wrapped up in a small ponytail that only reached the bottom of her shoulders. Her blue eyes still remained their icy blue color, and she was wearing the same outfit as the one she wore going in the cave.

"Ketara, wake up! Today's the day!" another girl yelled running into her bedroom. She was a lot younger than Ketara, only about ten or eleven. Her hair was short and tied up into stubby, pink pigtails. She had a white shirt on with a green skirt and light green eyes. The young girl jumped on Ketara's bed and tackled her.

"Yeah, I guess it is," Ketara sighed, "and I got something for you!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," the young girl chanted, "let me see, let me see, let me see!"

"Happy Birthday, Rose," Ketara said pulling out a box with gold wrapping paper and a blue string around the box out from under her bed. Rose excitedly untied the string and shredded the paper to pieces. When she opened the box, there was a gold necklace with a heart tied on it. Inscribed on the heart was the words 'Best lil' sister'. There was another necklace just like it, but this one said 'Proud big sister'.

Rose looked up at Ketara with her sparkling green eyes and cried, "Oh, Ketara, it's so pretty! Thank you so much!" She tied it around her neck and admired herself in Ketara's bedroom mirror.

"Hey, what's all the noise?" a boy asked.

Rose looked at him, jumped into his arms and yelled, "Look at the pretty necklace Ketara got me, Tai!"

"I see," Tai said smiling. He looked over at Ketara. Ketara swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Tai continued, "Why don't you go out and show your mom and dad."

"Okay," Rose cooed rushing out the door yelling, "Mommy, Daddy, look what Ketara got me!"

Tai laughed to himself and turned to Ketara, "She seems to like it."

"Yeah," Ketara agreed, "Thanks for the extra money."

"No problem. What are neighbors for?"

"I'll pay you back, someday."

"Don't worry about it. It was for Rose."

Ketara looked up into the eyes of the young man in front of her. They were a soft, brown color that sparkled in the sunlight. His spiky black-blue hair was matted down to his head, probably because he just got a shower. He wore a black shirt that fit tightly on his torso and complimented his muscular arms. He wore a dark blue pair of baggy jeans with a brown belt that surrounded his waist. Ketara looked at him, as if she couldn't look away. Something about him made her feel... different.

Ketara asked, "Hey, Tai, what... what do you think of me?"

"Well, I think you're a wonderful big sister."

"No, no, I mean... as a friend."

"I... uh... well, you're smart, beautiful, sweet..."

"What was that last one?"

"Sweet?"

"No, no, before that."

"Oh... beautiful?"

"Yeah, that, you really think I'm beautiful?"

"More than beautiful."

Ketara looked at Tai for the longest time. She stared into his soft, brown eyes and finally realized that she felt a little more than friendship.

Tai continued, "There's something I want to give you..." He pulled out a gray box and showed it to her. As he opened it, he asked, "Ketara, will you marry me?"

Ketara was speechless. She didn't expect Tai to ask her a question this important this soon in her life. She shut the box and smiled.

"I'm not ready for that type of commitment yet, Tai," she said. He frowned and looked away from her eyes with a disappointed expression. Ketara knelt down to his level, put her hand on his shoulders and continued, "But if you'll wait a few years, I'll be more than happy to be Mrs. Korosaki."

"I'll wait until the end of time if I have to," he replied smiling.

- - - END FLASHBACK - - -

Where... where am I? Am... am I alive? Why am I here?

Ketara sat up inside a tent. She was only wearing her light blue jeans and bandages that wrapped around her torso and her right arm. She looked over on the side of the blanket she was laying on and saw her yellow tang top and her brown, long-sleeved shirt folded nicely next to her.

Did someone save me? How long have I been sleeping?

Ketara took off the bandages on her arms to reveal her wounds had turned into scars on her arms. It looked like only minor damage was still there, but she wasn't sure yet. Ketara wrapped her bandages back up so they looked like before and put on her two shirts. As she crawled out of the tent, she noticed there was no one around. All she saw was a stream a few yards away from her and a campfire that was put out.

"So, you're finally awake," a voice behind her said, "I thought you left us."

Ketara turned around to see a boy with long, golden hair and blue eyes. He smiled and walked closer to you.

"Who are you?" Ketara growled ready to call upon your Pyro Saber.

"My name," he questioned, "Don't you think it's a little rude to ask someone their name before telling them your own?"

Ketara gazed at the boy trying to decide whether to trust him or not. She finally made up her mind and answered, "My name is Ketara."

"Ketara," he repeated to himself, "A lovely name for a beautiful young woman."

"Excuse me," Ketara scoffed, "You've still failed to tell me your name. And you said I was being rude?"

"Oh, I'm Nanashi."

"Don't you want me to know your name, or are you just playing with my head?"

"What?"

"You said your name is 'Nameless'. Don't you want me to know your name?"

"No, it's not that. My actual name is Nanashi. I don't know my real name."

"Oh, you're name is Nanashi."

"Yeah..." he answered with a sweat-drop on his forehead, "Do you get it now?"

"I think... but why am I here?"

"That doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're here with me!" Nanashi picked up her hands and put them in his. Ketara sweat-dropped as he touched her hands and she looked at him strange. Nanashi leaned in to kiss her, but something hit him on the head before he could get the chance to kiss her.

"Nanashi, stop scaring her! Leave the poor girl alone!" A girl with pink hair scolded him. Nanashi held the spot on his head where she hit him as a big bump formed on his head. She looked at Ketara and said sweetly, "I apologize for his bad behavior. He can't control himself."

"You didn't have to hit me that hard," Nanashi complained with anime tears running down his cheeks.

"Who are you?" Ketara asked.

"I'm Dorothy," she answered, "Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this idiot right here. I'm sure he's already introduced himself."

"Why are you stuck with him? Are you siblings?" You snickered.

"Not exactly," Dorothy answered.

"Oh, so you're boyfriend and girlfriend," You replied.

"EWW!" Dorothy shrieked, "Not with that pervert!"

"I wish," Nanashi mumbled to himself. Dorothy hit him again and formed a second anime bump on top of his head. Anime tears streamed his cheeks again and he mumbled, "Why must you hit so hard?"

"Okay, I give up. How do you two know each other?" Ketara asked.

"We're both on Team MÄR," she answered. Ketara gazed at Dorothy confusedly.

"What's Team MÄR?" Ketara asked.

Dorothy looked at Ketara strange and asked, "Are you serious? Did you just wake up from a coma or something?!"

"No," Ketara replied. Dorothy looked at her again, but this time she had a confused look on her face.

"How old are you, kid?"

"I'm seventeen, why?"

"Seventeen!" Nanashi yelled. "It's like we were made for each other!"

"What are you talking about? You're way too old for her! Will you quit being a pervert!" Dorothy yelled going to hit Nanashi again, but he jumped out of the way.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop!" he cried. Ketara looked over to her right and noticed that Lantern Cavern wasn't very far away.

"Did you guys save me from that Guardian ÄRM back there?" Ketara asked.

"Actually, I did," a voice said behind her. You looked behind her to see someone familiar to you.

"It was you!" she cried ready to pounce on the person behind her.
