~ A Dreamer's Dream ~

I do not own the "Soul" series

A/N - This is my first time writing about Soul Calibur so please bare with me, and please review

Back against a cherry blossom tree, Xianghua was sleeping peacefully, a small smile was gracing her face.

She had been begging Kilik for a small break from their ambition driven journey, and finally he granted it to her. Xianghua decided she deserved a little sleep. She choose the sturdiest tree she could find, one overlooking a shimmering lake, surrounded by multicolored flowers.

"Perfect!" Xianghua breathed, taking in her current surrounding. She rested up against the tree, preparing herself for a well earned rest. In no time, she was in a deep slumber, a nearby wind rustling by, playing with her dark chestnut hair, cherry blossom petals settled in her hair, and on her shoulders.

Even in her sleep, Xianghua looked content. The reason was because of a reoccurring dream she had. It including herself, as a princess in distress, and an unknown knight, rescuing her. She was determined this time to find out who her prince was...

Xianghua was sitting on the window ledge of the tower she was condemned to live in. She was waiting patiently for her prince to come like he always did, and rescue her from the bleak, and dark place she called "home".

'Where is he?' She thought outloud, twirling a single strand of hair around her finger. The sun was going down, and clouds were rolling in. Suddenly, like a dagger opening up the sky, a streak of lighting could be seen, followed by a blood curdling, loud, booming of thunder.

"EEEKKK!!!" Xianghua shrieked. She hated the thunder. Closing the window, she let herself slide against the wall, and cried softly, head buried in her knees.

"Xianghua?" A voiced asked, settling them self down beside her. Xianghua couldn't make out the person, her vision was blurred from her tears, the only thing she could make out was that the person was covered with armor. Recognizing her prince immediately, Xianghua threw her arms around them. The prince chuckled, and caressed her hair.

"I'm..so...so...glaadd...you're here..." Xianghua cried, nestling herself closer to her prince. The prince smiled, and kissed the top of her head. Xianghua giggled, and kissed them back, slightly knocking them over. They both remained in their position, until the thunder finally stopped. Xianghua sighed in relief, and cuddled with her prince, who she still had no idea who they were.

"Umm...I know this is kinda random, but, can I see what you look like, without the helmet?"

"Well..." The prince began, sighing. Xianghua looked disappointed. After seeing the disheartened Xianghua, the prince nodded slowly, and hesitantly removed the mask revealing a young, blond haired female.

"Ca...Cassandra?!!"

Xianghua woke up when someone violently shook her shoulders.

"Time to get up, Xianghua." Kilik ordered, helping her up. He saw the puzzled expression on her face, so he asked her what was wrong.

"Hm? Oh nothing...Let's go!" Xianghua raced ahead. Kilik shrugged, and followed.

'How could my prince be Cassandra this whole time?' Xianghua just couldn't wrap herself around the idea. She knew she loved Kilik, but....was it possible that she might love another?

Yes, very corny ending.

I'm not so sure if I'm going to make this a one-shot or a full story, what do you all think?
