A young girl sits beside a lake, dangling her feet in the clear, cold, water. Pebbles from the bottom of the lake glimmer with the sunlight's reflection bouncing off them. She closes her eyes as an awkward, but evil, presence comes closer and closer. Birds flutter away from the forest behind the girl and into the sky. They fly off in their triangular formation towards the sun, blocking a few of the sun's rays. The sun is getting closer and closer to falling behind the forest's trees as the darkness of the moon rises above the trees opposite. A silent wind blows past, lifting the girl's hair into the air and tries to bring it to where it's going. The sunlight makes the girl's silver eyes shine as she opens them. She places her hand on the ground and pulls her feet out of the water, leaving drips of the liquid fall into the soft ground.
The young girl stands up, feeling the wind continuing to blow. She turns her head as a white baboon comes out of the forest, jumping its way out in a zigzag pattern. It keeps coming towards her, making it's way in a fast motion. In the distance she hears someone yell something. "Give them to me," the creature says. The voice was deep, dark and unknown. It showed no emotion and it seemed dull, like a computer. But they didn't have those things in their day.
He takes a last jump and grabs the girl by her throat, lifting her into the air. She didn't struggle and her eyes were blank. She showed no emotion like the creature. It was as if she was lost and confused. It was as if she didn't know how to react to things or she didn't know how to react. It was as if she was a computer and didn't do anything until told to. It was as if she didn't really exist. The girl was limp and showed no sign of trying to get out of the creatures grasp as he tightened her grip around her throat.
A young women, hair pulled back, holding a boomerang over her shoulder, ready to throw, was riding on top of a tan-like cat with strange black markings and fire around its feet came out of the forest's trees. "Haraikotsu!" the women yells as her arm flings forward, her hand letting go of the huge boomerang at the same time. It spins towards the creature and girl at a fast pace.
The creature releases his grip and the girl fell to the ground. The girl just sits there, not blinking as the creature hops away. Miasma appears around the creature and a few seconds later both, the miasma and the creature, vanish.
The girl sits with her legs apart and folded beside her. Her hands lay still, hanging from her shoulder. She doesn't move an inch as the boomerang runs over her head, followed by a strong gust of wind. The creature's grip marks slowly faded back into her light skin tone. The boomerang flies back over her head and the women whom threw it, catches it as the cat lands onto the ground and is hopping off.
Flames swallow up the cat and it runs small, like a normal cat, beside the fact of the two tails that it held. The women walks, side by side, with the cat, towards the girl, and stops in front of her, reaching out her hand. "Are you alright?" she asks. She sounded friendly and concerned for the girl. The cat tilted its head to the side as the women spoke.
In slow motion, the girl lifts her head up at the women reaching out her hand. Her silver eyes showed no emotion. Nothing could be found in them even if you stood there, looking in her eyes and tried your best to find something, some emotions. It was as if she didn't exist and was a program. It was as if she was a robot. The girl blinked once and then twice, still not moving.
An awkward silence went by between them. Birds were silent and nowhere to be found. The wind was still and made no movements. The water stayed frozen in time. No leaves fell from the trees. The sun and moon seemed to have been caught by ice and were going to be stuck there until melted.
"Yes," the girl replies at last. Her voice was dull and no accent rested within it. It stayed the same throughout the whole word. There wasn't any holding on the letters. There weren't any tone changes. There wasn't something different about it. It was like a program in your computer or the answer machine on your phone as she spoke.
The girl slowly lifts her right hand and places it in the women's hand. The girl felt a swift rush of energy and warmth go through her body as their hands touched. The girl never felt warmth that much and so it was something different, new, better. The women pulled the girl up onto her feet. She felt the coldness the girl held within her from the touch of their hands. "
"I am Sango and this is Kirara," Sango replies mentioning to the small cat beside her as she jumped onto her owner's shoulders. Kirara mewed a greeting at the girl, with what looked like a smile on her face. The mew was soft and sweet. It was unique for cats to have that kind of tone that wouldn't make you go crazy if she mewed all day long. "Do you have a name?"
Sango had this weird knowledge about people. She could tell by their reactions, their voice, their eyes, their movements, and their touch. She could tell that the girl was somehow lost and confused, but didn't know it. She could tell that the girl didn't know much about herself. She could tell that the girl was unsure of what she should do. She could tell that the girl didn't do much in her life and that something happened in the past that caused her to be like this. But that was something she didn't know. She didn't know how or why the girl was like this. But she wanted to know, so she could help the girl with her problems.
"I do not know…" the girl replies. Her voice was the same as before. No changes of no between the letters and words. They all had the same length in speaking. Nothing different. She looked at the ground, her silver eyes not showing her emotion. "I do not know anything…about me…" she adds. The girl seemed to try to remember something, but nothing ever came to her mind. A tear slipped from her unemotional eyes as if she were crying. The drop of sadness fell slowly towards the ground. As soon as it touched the surface, it broke up into pieces, making a miniature raindrop splash.
"Do you want a different name for now?" Sango asks in a soft, kind voice, bending down a little so she was the height of the girl. "Until you remember?" The girl lifted her head and looked straight into Sango's soft brown eyes. It was if she was acting as a mother to the girl. It was if she was trying to comfort her from something that happened earlier that day. The girl nodded her head, her eyes showing a little emotion. They were hopeful. They were waiting for something good to happen. They were waiting for someone to comfort her. They were waiting for someone that would not try to kill her. They were waiting for someone that would change her life.
Sango stood up and looked down at the girl, a smile on her face. She looked at Kirara whom looked back up at her. No words were spoken, but it seemed as though they were talking to each other through their minds and eyes. It was if they knew how to understand each other without speaking to one another. Several heartbeats went by before Sango looked back at the girl. "Do you like the name Ami?" She asks, looking down at the girl before her.
She stood there for a few heartbeats, pondering over it. She looked up at Sango as she looked back at her, questioning her. The girl closes her eyes and smiles, her face showing off an expression of shear happiness. "Yes!" she exclaims happily. It was as if she was dead and just came back to life. It was as if she now existed in the world. It was as if she wasn't a computer or robot anymore, but a living creature that roamed the Earth. In just a few minutes she has transformed from a dead robot into a living creature.
"I'm glad you like it," Sango smiles back. "Kirara thought of it so you should thank her that she suggested it." She could feel that the girl wasn't as lost or confused anymore. She still was, but she was happier. Ami was happier…for a while…
"Thank you, Kirara!" exclaims Ami, smiling. She looked like nothing bad has ever happened to her. She looked like she was always a happy, little girl. She looked like nothing bag could ever happen to her. Her eyes gleamed with happiness and joy. They shone brightly from the setting sun and the rising moon.
"Do you want to come with Kirara and me? You can meet some other friends that we have. I'm sure you will like most of them," Sango says, looking up at the sun. She knew that they were wondering why it is taking so long. She knew they were expecting her soon. She knew they knew that she does what she says.
Ami looks up at her with a confused look on her face. "Is it really okay?" she asks, her soft, winter blue hair blowing in the small breeze that ran across the lake. Sango nods in reply as Kirara lets out a small, excited mew. "Yay!" Ami exclaims jumping into the air. Her eyes full of excitement shine with wonder.
Kirara hopped off of Sango's shoulder and let flames engulf her small body. They grew and grew until it was a lot bigger. The flames disappeared around the cat except for the small flames around her ankles. Ami stares in awe at Kirara, even though she saw her transform before. But before, she couldn't show any emotion. But that is, until she met Sango and Kirara.
Sango helped lift Ami onto Kirara and then got onto the cat herself. Kirara twisted her head and looked back at her passengers, her eyes asking if they were ready. Sango gave her a small nod and Kirara faces the lake, taking off into the air. A cool breeze blew past them from the current of air. It was as if you were riding a horse that was galloping a field, but instead you were in the air. Kirara flies towards the rising moon, light rays of sunlight hit them and made them glow brightly in the sunset sky. Ami looked around her in awe, holding onto Sango, afraid she would fall off. It was something Ami would get to see many more times in her life, but she didn't know it…yet.
