This one has been nagging at me forever! For a while I thought I'd just leave the thought alone, but here I am! Anyway, enjoy!

Saya's Rule
She clawed at the cocoon. She wanted out. She wanted out now. She was tired of waiting. She was tired of her prison, and most of all she was tired of her never ending continuum of nightmares. When she screamed she knew no one could hear her. She didn't know who would be around to hear her. Actually, she didn't know anything. She couldn't even remember her own name, or how to form a word.
She hit once more with all the force she had, and it shattered. She fell to the floor. It was so cold. She realized she was naked. She found herself blushing, though she didn't know why. She heard a gasp and then she looked up. There was light pooling in from a doorway, but it was only moonlight. Even though her eyes were strong enough to see a young man with orange-ish hair was standing right in front of her. She felt happy, but once again she didn't know why. "Saya?" the orange haired boy asked. "W-Wh-Who m-me?" she found herself stuttering. She didn't know where the words came from, or how she knew how to form them. "Yeah. You're Saya!" he said. "I-I'm S-Saya?"she asked. The boy nodded. A few awkward seconds later, a blue eyed girl walked in behind him. Saya felt a shiver run down her spine. The boy jumped when she touched him on the shoulder. "Sorry," she whispered. " You keep sneaking up on me.." the boy muttered. "Sora, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be with Saki, Julia said it wasn't a good idea to leave her alone..." he said to her. "Sorry," Sora said again, "but I knew you'd forget this." She pulled a vial of blood from a small messenger bag. "She won't really wake up without this. Its Hagi's blood." she said. When Sora said that name, Saya felt herself go cold. She could feel the memories pulling at her. " Saya here." the boy said. He was holding the vial close to her mouth and she was confused. "Saya, drink it," the boy said. He held it closer to her, where the smell was absolutely intoxicating. She could feel herself being pulled to it. Before she knew what she was doing, she snapped. She yanked the vial from the boy's hand and gulped it down like she hadn't had anything to drink in thirty years. Somewhere, in the back of her subconscious she knew that was exactly the truth.
She fell to the floor as the memories started flashing back. Saya and Joel when Saya was a little girl. Saya and Ha- him. She found herself unable to say his name. She didn't know why, not yet anyway. She saw him grow and mature. She heard him play the cello. Then she saw him fall from a cliff. She saw her home, one of the only places she's ever known. She sees the girl in front of her. At first she thinks it's her and then she sees the eyes. This girl is her sister, Diva. Saya gets many memories then, of Diva. She remembers Kai and Vietnam. The latter is met with a shutter and a screech much like the one she let loose when she saw him fall. Then she sees the thing that was repeated over and over in her dream- no, nightmare. She saw her final battle and his final wound. She yells louder then she ever has before and now she is not afraid to say his name. "HAGI!" Then she slumps to the floor. Unconscious.
Saya's Point of View
I feel the light on my eyelids. I can hear them talking about me, and fretting over nothing. I know I should open my eyes. But I don't. I don't want to face it. I don't want to face Kai. I don't want to face Saki and Sora. I don't want to face the Red Shield, or the sun, or (come to think of it) the world. Not without him. Not without Hagi. It hurts like hell to say his name, but I know saying it will help me cope. Why couldn't he have just let me die? Why couldn't it be me under that rubble in New York?
I finally open my eyes to see Kai hovering over me. Actually, it was so not what I was suspecting! It was young Kai! He looked the same almost, except he looked maybe three or four years more mature. " Kai, why are you still young?" I asked, groggily. "Um... Well, Saya..." he stuttered. Uh oh. I hate it when Kai does the whole um-well-Saya thing. I know something bad is about to happen. Or I'm about to at least find out something bad happened. That's when I smelt it. The distinct scent of chevalier. I gasped when I realized it was emanating from Kai. He saw me sniff the air and he finally said, " So..." When he didn't want to finish that sentence I said something that maybe would get the conversation going. It was only one word, but it meant so much. "Chevalier."
Author's Note:
Hey guys, I hope you like it so far! I'm going to try to update once or twice a week. Sorry you have to wait so long! My laptop broke a while back, so I'm having to use my parent's computer and it sucks! Anyway, review please! I'd really love you if you did!
(Hey, peeps, this is an updated message from me: This was written a very long time ago, in the summer, and I decided not to change much. Anyway, just thought you should know. I'm going to finally post this instead of letting it set. Anyway, review please, and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. P.S. Yes this is the second version. There was another version posted a long time ago but it was absolutely horrid. It was when I first started Fan Fiction and, yeah, it sucked.)
