"Come back here!" Cried a teenage girl with long copper hair tied into multiple of tiny braids

The young boy she yelled at turned and looked at her. He grinned mischievously and took off in a dead run. "You'll have to catch me first Darkfire!" he yelled after her

Darkfire threw her hands down "This is going to be hard" she said taking off after him. As fast as she could go "You need to come back! The guard will surely come after you!" She stopped dead as soldiers ran by yelling orders "Get that brat he might get into the palace! I want him dead or alive!" "Oh no..." She muttered

The 10-year-old boy looked behind his shoulder and gasped seeing the imperial guard after him. He gasped and ran faster down the dusty streets of Verdi. His long raven hair tailed behind him.

The guards caught him in a dead end. "Shi..." he looked up and grinned "Sorry I couldn't stay and chat but I have a friend to see." The boy jumped to the wall and bounced off of it and bounced to the other going higher and higher. The guards stared. The boy made it to the top he waved and turned around bumping into a chest.

The man picked him up by the scuff of the neck. "Well, well, well what do we have here? A Neko-jin I presume...where is your guardian? Or you so low of a class you don't have one?"

"He has one and it seems to me that your harming him...and no he is not a low class he is the son of Bijous the leader of the Neko-jins of the White Tiger tribe," said Darkfire coming up behind them

"Hn...I heard the Bijous and his wife Layea are now..." he was cut off by the boy taking a bite out of the guard's hand and struggled "OW! Why you little brat...lets see if you can land on your feet like a real tiger!" He said dragging the boy to the ledge

"Hey you can't..." Said Darkfire but she stopped and grinned, "Okay drop him...That's one less charge I have to take care of..." The boy piped in "But I'm your only charge!"

The man dropped him over. The boy twisted and bent his back a little landing hard on his feet and hands "Hey! Looks like I can!" He took off again sliding under the other guard's legs.

"AFTER HIM!" Cried the head guard. The men took after the boy.

The boy ran up to a clothesline and grinned. He balanced steadily on the lines "Left right left right leftrightleftrightleftright" he said franticly moving up the moving line. He landed on another roof. He looked around at the roofs "Why do these houses all look the same?" It was true all of the houses were made of clay with the dust-covered look and flat roofs with 4 windows all 3 stories one door made of wood ECT.

But none of these were his destination. He was aiming for the palace in the center of the city. He sighed he would never make it in time "Maybe I could do the transportation dance. Now how did it go?" He said moving into the center of the building

He threw his arms into the air made a circle with his toe. He twirled in a silent movement fast enough so his long braided hair would twirl around him. He moved his arms down to his sides and mumbled "Fire be my guide" He closed his eyes and in a quick movement he brought his arms into an X shape on his chest. He twirled around twice and did a back flip into a split and moved his arms into multiple of signs to quick to be seen by the human eye "Where would you like to go?" Whispered a voice "To the palace of Verdi!"

A Flame shot up all around him. Darkfire jumped the narrow ledges of the houses to get to him "RAY!" She cried. She dove for him missing him by inches while in a puff of white smoke blew in her face. "Dammit" she muttered slamming her fists into the roof leaving a dent.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Where is he?' thought a young boy with mahogany eyes looking down the corridor. He was getting nervous Ray was supposed to be there an hour ago so they could lock powers so they could talk whenever they needed. Besides Kai wasn't supposed to be out of his room or his mother would get frantic about the 'Diseases of the outside world.'

A young boy ran down the corridor knocking into Kai "I'm here!" Ray said breathlessly

Kai nodded and they ran into his room "I'm sorry about your parents" Kai said but Ray ignored the comment.

"I think your mother knows because she sent the entire Imperial guard after me" he said shaking his head and sat on the floor "Lets hurry before the guards come" he said. Kai nodded and sat as well

The two boys held their hands up and chanted "I Flame Dancer" said Ray

"And I Dark Strider" said Kai

"Will wish to be granted the power of friendship and..." The boys were cut off by a drunk looking woman who slammed the door open and strode in pointing

"YOU!" she said in a somewhat slurred voice "Stay away from my son!" She said. Kai stood "Mother your drunk!" He said, "Stay away from my friend!" he said as she walked forward

The guards strode in past the drunken woman. And headed for Ray

"Hey! Back off!" said Darkfire behind them. They all turned and stared at her

"And why should I do that?" said the woman "Some petty guardian going to stop me?" she said laughing. Darkfire took a step forward

"Oh and Queen Medulla" Said Darkfire striding to Rays side "You have a message" she said as a gust of wind blew through the room

"Medulla remember me? It's me Latuia...I was wondering when you would stop acting as a selfish drunk and stop acting this way. I mean why can't you act the way I would be there as your sister...as your TWIN sister"

The voice stopped and the queen dropped to her knees "Go" she said "What?" asked the guard staring "GO! Before I change my mind..."

Darkfire grabbed Rays shoulders "Wait" he said. Darkfire let go and he walked up to Kai "I'm sorry I don't think we'll see each other anymore" He said Kai looked down a nodded and a tear ran down his cheek.

Darkfire sighed and grabbed Ray's shoulder again. They walked out of the room in silence.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The two walked down the dusty road "I'm sorry Ray" She said looking down on the 10 year old

The boy bit his lip "It's not fair..." He whispered "First my parents die" he stopped and rubbed his eyes. Darkfire turned and watched as tears swell in the golden orbs. "Then I can't see Kai ever again..." he burst into tears

"Why me?" he yelled "Why my parents? Why not somebody else's? WHY ME?" He yelled louder and dropped to his knees. Darkfire sighed and picked up the tiny boy and sat down on a log that laid near the side of the road

"I'm sorry Ray...I sometimes think you're older than you are...but you're still just a child. I think you can handle it all but this is just tearing you up inside. I'm sorry I can't do more for you" She picked up the boy and placed him in her lap. He did not care that she treated him as a baby. He cried into her shirt "But don't worry...I promise...you will see Kai again" She said as a gust of wind flew by.

She heard a slight purr and noticed the small Neko-Jin had fallen asleep. She smiled and stood carrying the young prince back to his tribe that he was expected to lead when he was older "Don't worry" she said and hummed the song that used to put him to sleep when he was a baby "Your destiny will come" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/n Hey guys! Hope ya'll like it! Short I know and no Yaoi yet but don't worry the Yaoi goodness will come soon. I was going to have me sing 'Your destiny will come' but I didn't have time...I'll have Kai sing it to Ray later...How does that sound?

Fan girls: YAY!!

I thought you would like that ^_~ okay I'll See ya later R and R!

The one named Darkfire turned and Said, "Till we meet again" And thus...she was gone.
