Warriors Everlasting Miracles II Turn 2: A Prince's Awakening

Chapter 1: Visit

Kirito's dark gray eyes locked onto the moss ball as it traveled through the air. He had been helping Briarlight with her exercises as much as he could ever since Lelouch fell into a comatose state and Asuna had went over to ShadowClan. He and the others had just finished their journey to find SkyClan less than a moon ago, but so much had happened during that time, the most ever since he, Suguha, and Asuna arrived in the world around a moon and a half ago. He caught the moss ball between his paws, but he felt the touch of another pelt on his hindlegs. He turned around to see Twigkit right next to him.

"Hi Twigkit. What's up?" he asked the small she-kit. Twigkit and her sister, Violetkit, were found by Alderpaw. They had been living together in ThunderClan until the last Gathering where Violetkit, along with Asuna, were handed over to ShadowClan. Now, she was living fine in ThunderClan, but the others could tell how much she missed her sister.

"Leafpool thought that it would be a good idea for Twigkit to help Briarlight with her exercises," Alderpaw told the black tom.

"Oh…so you're here to take my job then?" He looked over at the kit.

"Um…I guess so…" Kirito patted her head with a paw.

"Don't worry. I'm glad it's going to be in good paws." He let out a smile. "I guess I'll see you all later then."

"Hopefully you come back to help soon. At least I don't trip over you when you're here," Jayfeather said with a small growl.

"Bye, Kirito," Leafpool meowed as the tom got up. When Kirito was about to pass through the bramble entrance to the medicine cat's den, he bumped into Graystripe.

"Whoa, sorry about that Graystripe," He apologized.

"It's fine. I'm still alive, so that's all that matters," The elder responded with a small laugh. "Jayfeather, Bramblestar wants to see you, Alderpaw, and Leafpool. Oh, and Millie also needs some comfrey."

"Do you need me to come and check on her?" Leafpool asked as she picked out the needed herbs.

"I wouldn't want you three to keep Bramblestar waiting, especially since Rowanstar's with him."

"Rowanstar's here?" Kirito said in shock. "In that case I'll go with you three. I need to know how Asuna's doing."

"R-right. We should get going then." Jayfeather told the others. Leafpool walked over to Graystripe and gave him the comfrey.

"Stay here, Twigkit. I'll be back," Alderpaw told her before the four cats left the medicine cat's den. As the cats walked over to the leader's den, the leaf-fall breeze blew through their coats, leaves being carried by the wind. I can't believe it's already fall. I can't imagine how winter's going to be around here. Kirito thought. The four made it into the leader's den and saw the ThunderClan and ShadowClan leader.

"Kirito, what are you doing here?" Bramblestar asked.

"I just wanted to ask Rowanstar about how Asuna's doing," He explained.

"Asuna is doing fine…but not as great as I anticipated," Rowanstar told him.

Kirito looked over at the ShadowClan leader, eyes filled with worry. "What's wrong with her?" He wondered, his voice shaky.

"Don't worry, she's okay. It's just that…Littlecloud, their medicine cat, is dying," Bramblestar explained to them.

"Can I hope that Asuna's trying her best to take care of him?" Leafpool asked.

"Yes. She, along with Dawnpelt are helping. Asuna gave him poppy seeds, but other than that, she seems lost."

"She's never had to treat a dying cat before. I can't imagine how scared and nervous she is," Jayfeather stated. "If he had an apprentice, he might be better, and Asuna would still be here."

"Jayfeather, he came for our help, not to be ridiculed," Bramblestar told the gray tom.

Alderpaw stepped forward. "Can I help?"

"I'd much prefer a medicine cat, not an apprentice," Rowanstar told him.

"Then I'll go." Leafpool looked over at Bramblestar, and he nodded his head.

"Thank you. Grassheart is also expecting kits, but Asuna was also unsure about what to do there as well. Some of the others are helping with her kitting, but I don't want anything bad happening."

"I understand. Asuna's hasn't been trained on what to do with a kitting, but I'll help teach her when I get there," She assured him. "Alderpaw, come with me. I need help carrying the herbs."

"You want me to come over to ShadowClan?"

"Of course!"

Jayfeather let out a small sigh. "So, I guess you're just leaving me to take care of the whole Clan?" Jayfeather snidely remarked.

"I'm sure you can take care of them," She responded. Alderpaw stood in place for a moment, but then looked over at Leafpool.

"Jayfeather's right. Why don't you take Kirito along with you instead?"

"Kirito, do you mind?" Leafpool looked over at the tom.

"Of course I'll come along!" Alderpaw smiled at the tom's joy. It was the perfect way for him to see Asuna, and even though he'd probably suffer from being alone with Jayfeather, he knew Kirito deserved to see her.

"Okay then, let's go pick up the herbs."

"Thank you again for this," Rowanstar told them.

"You're welcome," Bramblestar replied. "You should go back to ShadowClan. Leafpool and Kirito will be there as soon as possible." The ShadowClan leader nodded and exited the den, followed by the others. Once they made it back to the medicine cat's den, Twigkit ran over to them.

"Kirito, where's Alderpaw?" The tom turned around and saw that the apprentice was missing.

"I guess he's talking with Bramblestar. He'll be back soon," He told her before he went over to help Leafpool pack up a bundle of herbs.

"What are you doing?" Twigkit asked curiously.

"Kirito and I are going over to ShadowClan to help them."

"Really? Can I come? Please?" She asked.

"I'm sorry, but you're too young to leave. Plus, we don't want you getting sick," Leafpool told her. Twigkit looked down, crestfallen.

"Sorry about—" Kirito stopped when Twigkit ran away. "Twigkit!"

"Wait! I need to get something!" The tom waited for her to return, interested in what the kit was doing. When she returned, she laid a red feather on his paws. "Can you please give this to Violetkit?"

"A feather, huh?" He saw how excited the kit was about the gift.

"Yup! Violetkit found one before we were separated. She kept it in our nest because it was so pretty, but Lilyheart accidentally threw it out when she changed our bedding. I found this one the other day, and even though it's not the same one, I know that she'll like it. You'll give it to her, won't you, Kirito?"

"Y-yeah, of course I will, Twigkit," He promised, the tom a bit choked up by the kit's request. "I'll tell her you said hi and everything."

"Oh thank you, Kirito!" As he picked up the feather, the kit nuzzled his cheek.

Leafpool looked over the medicine inventory once more before looking over at the tom. "Okay, we're ready to go now," Leafpool stated. "Ready?"

"Yup." As they exited the den, Kirito looked back at Jayfeather. "I'll tell Asuna you said hi." A blush formed on the blind tom's face, causing Kirito to smile before following Leafpool. As they were about to leave camp, he heard Alderpaw call his name.

"Did you need something before we leave?" Leafpool asked.

"I just needed to tell Kirito something. It's kind of private," He responded.

"Oh." Curiosity filled the she-cat's mind, but she shook it off. "I'll be waiting outside of the entrance to the camp," She told the black tom before she left. Once they were alone, Alderpaw turned to face the tom.

"That's for Violetkit, isn't it?" He asked, noticing the red feather in the tom's mouth.

"Yeah. I'll feel horrible if I lose it," Kirito told him. "So, what did you want to tell me?"

"Squirrelflight, Cinderheart, and Lionblaze are going out to find Twigkit's mother."

"They are? That's awesome!"

"Shhh! No cat can let her know. We don't want her getting her hopes up. Please promise that you won't say anything."

"Right. I don't want to see her sad if we don't find her mother. I won't say a word."

"Thanks. Oh, and can you tell Violetkit and Asuna that I said hi as well?"

"You didn't need to ask. It was already on my list of things to do when I get there." The two shared one more smile before Kirito made his way into the forest.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"So why do we need their help again?" Sleekpaw, a ShadowClan apprentice, asked as she walked along with Tawnypelt, Stonewing, Kirito, and Leafpool.

"Well someone needs to take care of him," Leafpool meowed.

"It's not like he'll be cured. He should've been in StarClan moons ago." Kirito's eyes widened in shock. He was surprised at how this apprentice acted towards his own clanmate.

"Here, hold this if you won't hold your tongue," Tawnypelt told the apprentice. "Sorry you had to hear any of that, Kirito. It's hard to teach these apprentices respect nowadays."

"I can imagine. Is every apprentice in ShadowClan like this?"

"Sadly. I'm just sorry for Asuna. She's trying her best, but these apprentices are so rude to her," She informed him. "But she seems to have gotten used to it, and Needlepaw tries to keep the other apprentices in line to respect her anyway, but that seems to be a slow process."

The cats continued walking until they passed through the tunnel and entered the heart of ShadowClan. It looked definitely different than the ThunderClan camp, and even had a different scent to it as well, but he knew to expect that. The camp was surrounded by brambles and low branches hung above. Every cat eyed him and Leafpool, but he noticed one cat run over to them.

"Dawnpelt," Leafpool greeted her with a smile. "How's Littlecloud?"

"He's in pain. We've run out of poppy seeds, but we're trying to do the best we can."

"Don't worry. We have herbs with us that should ease the pain," She assured her.

"Follow me." The cats passed through an opening in the brambles. Once they reached it, Stonewing and Sleekpaw dropped their herb parcels at the entrance.

"Leafpool." Before the two walked inside, Crowfrost, the ShadowClan deputy, called her name, Rowanstar following behind.

"We need to talk with you," The leader spoke.

"Can it wait a bit? We need to check on Littlecloud."

"Very well." The two cats picked up the herbs and walked inside of the den. The two saw Littlecloud in his nest, Asuna next to him.

"Asuna." The she-cat turned to look at the entrance and a smile formed on her face at the sight of her boyfriend and Leafpool. She got up and approached the two. She nuzzled her head below his chin, letting out a soft purr.

"Whoops…too cat-like," She said with a small giggle. "Oh, what's with the feather?"

"It's for Violetkit," He told her.

"I don't mean to interrupt, but you've done a great job caring for him, Asuna. His bedding's clean, and I see that you've given him water too," Leafpool praised, noticing the damp wad of moss next to Littlecloud's nest.

"Thank you, Leafpool, but…the herb supply here is so low…and I didn't want to just mix herbs to create something. My eyes can only tell me that he's in pain, but that's it," She said, noting the special trait in her eyes that allowed her to diagnose any problems a cat had and what to use if she was familiar with the herb that cured the symptom.

"It's okay. There's some tansy in those pouches. I'm sure you know what to do with them," She informed her. "I'll be back. I need to talk with Rowanstar." Once Leafpool left, Asuna began to chew on the tansy, forming a pulp. She placed it in her paws and fed it to Littlecloud, who was wheezing with every breath he took. "There you go. Hopefully this makes you feel better."

"T-thank you, Asuna," He told her, causing the she-cat to smile.

"You're welcome." She looked over at Kirito, but he saw her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I feel like I'm not working hard enough. It's so much harder working here by myself, especially with Littlecloud like this. It doesn't help that these apprentices are rude, too," She told him. "I don't know if Littlecloud's going to make it," She whispered to him. "It'll be all my fault if that happens. I can't live with myself knowing that."

"You've done the best you could so far, Asuna, I can tell you that much."

"I feel like I have, but at the same time, being here has shown me just how unprepared I am as a medicine cat. Grassheart's expecting kits and I don't know the first thing about delivering them. I'm lucky that Leafpool's here," Asuna said. "How's everyone at the Clan? Did Lelouch wake up yet?"

"Not yet. Jayfeather and Alderpaw say hi, by the way."

"I had a feeling those two did," She giggled. "I'm sure Twigkit's doing well?"

"Yup. Oh, actually, do you mind if I deliver this to Violetkit before I forget?"

"Sure. She should be in the nursery." Kirito gave her a blank stare. "Try to ask a warrior outside to guide you."

"Right." Kirito walked out of the medicine cat's den and saw Dawnpelt approaching. "Hey Dawnpelt…do you mind walking me towards the nursery before you go help Asuna?"

"Sure. Follow me." He followed the she-cat until they reached a narrow entrance. "It's a bit of a squeeze, but you'll be fine." She entered first, and he followed her. Once inside, he saw a black she-cat along with a round pale tabby which he guessed was Grassheart.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Grassheart, Pinenose, this is Kirito. He came with Leafpool to help."

"Well, I'm more of a herb carrier than a helper," He specified. "I was just hoping that I could see Violetkit."

"Oh, her. She's over here," The black she-cat said.

"I'll get going now, Kirito," Dawnpelt told her.

"Right. Thanks for everything," He told her before he followed Pinenose's gaze and saw the black-and-white she-cat alone in the corner.

"Hey, Violetkit," Kirito greeted, causing her to turn around, but he saw no sign of surprise in her eyes. She probably forgot about me. "It's me, Kirito. Remember, you'd always see Asuna and I together?"

"You're friends with Asuna?" Kirito nodded his head.

"A bit more than friends. Anyway, I brought you a gift from your sister, Twigkit. See?" He placed the feather in front of her, and she tilted her head. "Do you not remember the red one you played with and kept in your nest that you shared?" She looked at it for a while until her eyes lit up in surprise.

"I remember! Is it really the same one?"

"Well…the old one wasn't as pretty anymore, but Twigkit found this one and thought that you'd love it."

"I love it so much! Can you tell her I said thank you? Oh, how is she? Is her tail as fluffy as mine? Has she eaten vole yet?" Kirito smiled at the barrage of questions the kit was asking.

"She's doing great. She helps Alderpaw around the medicine cat's den a lot, and now that you mention it, she does have a pretty fluffy tail."

"Is she going to become a medicine cat then?"

"I can't say for sure." As the two were talking, they heard a sudden yawn from one of the queens.

"Violetkit, it's time for your nap," Pinenose told her.

"But I'm not tired. I want to talk with Kirito more!"

"I'm sure you do, but Grassheart needs to rest," She responded.

"Pinenose is right. You should rest. I have to get going anyway soon."

"Already?" Kirito nodded. "Will you ever visit again?"

"I can't promise, but I'll try, and if I can't, Alderpaw will. He says hi and he misses you too."

"Oh…well I miss him too. I know he's taking care of Twigkit," She told him. "I probably should go take my nap now."

"Yup." He gave her a small lick on the forehead. "Sleep well. I'll make sure to tell your sister everything about you."

"Thank you, Kirito!" He let out a smile before leaving the den. Once he exited, he bumped into Needlepaw, the ShadowClan apprentice who traveled with the ThunderClan cats on their journey to find SkyClan.

"Kirito, what were you doing in there?"

"I was just seeing Violetkit. It's nice to see you, Needlepaw," Kirito told her. "Thanks for sticking up for Asuna against the other apprentices.

"Who told you that?" She wondered, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Tawnypelt while I was walking here, actually," He stated. "Violetkit's napping right now if you were going to see her."

"Of course she is. That's just great," She said with a sigh. "Hey Kirito, can I tell you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"It's more of something I need you to tell Alderpaw, but promise you'll only tell him and keep it a secret." He nodded. "I want Twigkit and Violetkit to meet, and I want him to bring Twigkit while I bring Violetkit. There's a perfect spot on the border that will work. I'll show it to you, and you tell him about it. We'll meet at night while every cat's asleep. Got it?"

"I mean…it's sort of irresponsible letting two apprentices do this…"

"C'mon, I only told you because I trust you…plus, these two need to meet more than anything. Doesn't that matter to you?" Kirito let out a sigh and nodded his head.

"Okay, I'll tell him. Lead the way towards your meeting place."

Kirito returned to the ShadowClan camp a few minutes later with Needlepaw once she showed him the spot where he and Alderpaw would meet.

"Remember to tell Alderpaw, and please, please keep it a secret," She told the tom.

"Got it. You can count on me."

"Right. Thanks again, Kirito. I should get going now."

"See ya'." Kirito made his way over to the medicine cat's den and saw that Leafpool was there with Asuna and Dawnpelt. They all looked at him once they noticed him enter the den.

"Kirito, there you are," Leafpool meowed. "Did you go see Violetkit? When I was there she was taking a nap."

"Yeah, I saw her before that," He told her.

"That's good." She responded with a smile. "Listen Kirito…I'm going to stay here in ShadowClan." Kirito looked at the medicine cat in disbelief.

"What? They already have Asuna here, too. Wait…does that mean Asuna's coming back with me?" Kirito asked, his sudden shock turning into joy, but he saw Asuna shake her head. "Oh…"

"I'm sorry, Kirito. Leafpool's just here to help me train Puddlekit."

"Yes. It's going to take a few moons, but I'll be back in ThunderClan afterwards," Leafpool told him. "Maybe when he becomes a full-fledged medicine cat, Asuna can return to ThunderClan."

"That's good to know," Kirito said with a smile. "I guess I should get going now then to deliver the news." He walked over to Asuna and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm…not going to get sick from doing that…right?" Asuna let out a small laugh.

"You should be fine. Give everyone my regards, okay?"

"Will do. Take care you two."

"Don't worry, Kirito. They'll be taken care of, especially with all the help they're doing for ShadowClan," Dawnpelt assured him.

"I'm sure they will."

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Kirito passed through the tunnel leading into ThunderClan and was greeted by Nightheart when he entered the camp. Nightheart was Ivypool and Lelouch's daughter, which was easy to tell when she had the same black fur and violet eyes. Both she and Kirito were great friends, although a small air of intimacy surrounded them before.

"Hi Kirito. Alderpaw told me that you went to ShadowClan with Leafpool. How's Asuna doing?"

"She's doing well. I'd say the only problem is the rude apprentices there."

"Figures. They're very disrespectful for some reason, even to my father," She told him. "Where's Leafpool?"

"About that…" Kirito explained the whole situation to the she-cat, telling her how she was needed to help Asuna train Puddlekit and how she'd come back in a few moons.

"Oh, well at least Asuna could come back when Puddlekit's fully trained. You both will be together again. I'm happy for you," She told him with a smile.

"Thanks, Nightheart. Hey, I'll see you later. I need to tell Bramblestar and Jayfeather about this all."

"Okay. Bye, Kirito." The tom made his way over to the leader's den and walked inside.

"Kirito, you're back. How's Asuna doing?"

"She's well. Leafpool's helping her with Littlecloud and Grassheart," He told him. "But…Leafpool's also decided to stay in ShadowClan and help Asuna train a medicine cat apprentice."

"I see…Well, the Clans have to help one another, so I understand her motives," The leader stated. "Is there any other news that you have for me?"

"No, that's all."

"Very well. Thank you for telling me, Kirito."

"Of course." He bowed his head before heading over to the medicine cat's den. He saw that Jayfeather and Alderpaw were busy sorting herbs.

"There's no need to tell us, Kirito. Nightheart came over already," Jayfeather assured him. "This is ridiculous! Giving two medicine cats away to another Clan is unheard of! ShadowClan better never attack us for as long as the Clans thrive."

"How's Violetkit doing?" Alderpaw asked, putting his medicine cat duties to a halt.

"She's doing great. I was going to go tell Twigkit all about it," He told him. "Jayfeather, do you mind if I take Alderpaw for a bit?"

"And there goes another medicine cat. Are you going to work for ShadowClan now too, Alderpaw?" The medicine cat scoffed.

"So…is that a no?"

"Take him, but I want him back as soon as possible."

"Thanks. C'mon Alderpaw." Kirito left the medicine cat's den, the apprentice following closely behind him. "Geez, you'd think letting him get close with Asuna would mean he was nicer to me." Alderpaw let out a small laugh.

"How is she?"

"Okay, hopefully better now that Leafpool's with her." Alderpaw followed the tom to the Clan exit, but the two were approached by Squirrelflight.

"Where are you both off to?"

"Hey Squirrelflight. I was just going out with Alderpaw to talk about Violetkit and stuff. Nothing more."

"Well, make sure to keep my little apprentice safe if you need to," She said, giving Alderpaw a lick to the forehead.

"Aw, mom, I'll be fine, really!"

"He's safe with me, Squirrelflight. We won't go far," He assured her. With that, Kirito and Alderpaw left the camp and headed into the forest.

"So…why did you need to take me out here?"

"Well, I wanted to tell you about Violetkit. She's doing really well and says hi. I told her how much you take care of Twigkit and she appreciates it a lot. She was happy to see me…but I don't think she's as content with being in ShadowClan as her sister is in ThunderClan."

"I thought so, but as long as she's okay that's all that matters. She'll be so happy when you tell her."

"Actually, I was hoping that you'd tell her. She appreciates you a lot, Alderpaw, and she'll be even happier when you tell her. Just tell her that I delivered the feather and then you tell her everything about her. It's the least I could do for letting me take your place going to ShadowClan."

"Wow…I don't know what to say, Kirito…thank you," He told the tom, stopping their walk to do so. "Did you see Needlepaw?"

"I did. She's actually the reason why we're taking a walk right now."

"So, we're meeting up with her?"

"Not exactly…but you and Twigkit will be." Alderpaw tilted his head in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"Right now, I'm leading you to a place on our border with ShadowClan where you and Needlepaw are going to bring Twigkit and Violetkit so they could meet. You're going to meet here tomorrow night."

"Why me?"

"I think it's because you're the closest to the kits and Needlepaw. I was hesitant about this all, especially since it could be dangerous, especially for you and the kits…but I couldn't deny letting them see each other again."

"This is great! They'll get to see each other again and catch up! You know, you really are a bundle of good news today, Kirito." The tom let out a laugh.

"Hopefully it stays that way. Now c'mon, we should get to the spot before Jayfeather claws my face off for keeping you away for so long."

I hope that this first chapter was up to par with whatever standards you have set for me. I know it takes less creativity to simply add on to the current Warriors: A Vision of Shadows arc with all the crossovers and stuff, but tell me what you think about it. Do you still enjoy these stories nonetheless, or would you rather read ones where the storyline is based off of my imagination alone?

Also, I actually have been working on this story a lot, but I've been too lazy to post it on here, so it's actually halfway done. I haven't read any of Shattered Sky yet, but once I complete that, Turn 3 shall come into fruition. ~Geasswolf
