MEMORIES AND BUTTERFLIES By: Angel of Death and Light Disclaimer: I don't own anythin except maybe the plot! I want to say read and review and thanks to my nii chan Cera for typing and being my editor! CHAPTER 1 The rain fell in lonely sheets as Hope stared out the window. She hated the rain now because it put a damper on her training. "Stupid rain, why did you have to start now? Daddy was going to teach me hand to hand combat techniques," she growled at the window as she placed her head on its sill. A hand placed itself on her shoulder but Hope didn't move, her green eyes swimming with an unknown emotion. The person patted Hope's head and walked off. Hope looked at the retreating body, she got up and jumped on the person's back. He grunted but held her up. "Onii-chan, stop the rain, please?" Hope asked as she put her chin on his shoulder. He smiled and squeezed her leg lightly. "I would love to nee-chan, but it must end on its own. Would you like me to play with you until it ends?" Hope's Onii-chan said his voice soft and kind. Hope flew up from her bad, waking quickly from a dream, sweating heavily. In her dream, the faces were hidden but Hope knew she loved her supposed Onii-chan. Tears were spattering her cheeks and Hope wiped them away absently. ~*~ I'll stop now. please read and review! Thanks!
