Kanami was in her work clothes out on the big farm trying her hardest to not fall as she was carrying two basket's full of eggs. The watermelon patch had stretched clear to the farm and was now a spectacular sight in the early spring.
As Kanami almost sliped she got mad and almost threw the baskets. Had it not been for the fact that she was getting paid for this job she probably would've.She remembered the time when yet agian Kazuma had skipped out on helping her clean the house and left her home to do it by herself. She ended up breaking a window. Kanami inhaled the fresh air and walked up to the large porch of the farm house.
She sat the eggs on the counter and once more went back to work. As soon as she was done feeding the chickens, cleaning the barn, and taking care of many other little jobs she was ready to pass out in bed when she got back. As she reached the road that they lived on her eyes caught sight of Ryuho carrying a bucket of something out of the house.
Kanami froze. Her eyes were frosted over with unshed tears but she would not cry. She had made herself stronger. Strong enough not to cry. As she began to walk back up to the house she saw Tachibana come out the front holding one of the small cat like creatures they had adopted so long ago.
Kanami smiled and walked up the steps. "Nice day at work today?" He asked stroking the back of the animal.
"I geuss you could say that... I swear they hire me but they don't ever intend me to do any work." She said laughing. Mimori came out with Cammy close behind. They were talking about the wedding plans of course. Now Kanami realy wanted to go to bed.
"Hey Kanami?" Mimori called sweetly.
"Yes?" Kanami answered and walked over to them.
"I was wondering if you would one of my brides-miads?" She siad and looked at her expectantly.
"Of course!" Kanami siad very enthusiasticaly. In truth she was happy for Mimori... But it just made her think more about Kazuma. Her eyes were thier usual sparkling green and Kanami sat down beside Cammy. Her alter power was much stronger now but Kanami most of the time refused to use it.
When she would wake crying from her dreams Mimori would tell her to just sense him... but she didn't want to... She didn't want to know... She wanted to believe that if he didn't come back then it was because he was... gone.
Ryuho saw Kanami come up the drive and smiled but did not let it on that he knew. Kazuma was just wiating for the right moment. Kazuma was behind the garage as he came around. "Where've you been? I've been wiating!" He siad pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on.
"Your always so impatient... Just like Cougar was." He said looking at Kazuma.
"Yeah well he was like a big brother to me..."(a/n: could that line get ANY cornier?) He siad and they walked off. "So how has she been doing?" Kazuma asked looking down at the ground.
"She's holding up ok... She's very strong." Ryuho replied looking down at the ground too.
"I know she's strong... But... Does she hate me?" He asked in a worried way.
"She loves you..." Ryuho said and Kazuma looked up smiling.

Kanami walked out over the grassy hills as the sun was setting. She had no shoes on and enjoyed the feeling of the dew on her feet. Her head was hung and her alter was left to roam freely. All the feelings she was capturing were overtaking her senses. Joy, Anxiosness, love, and sorrowfulness..
Her eyes drew open slightly as she thought of this. She was sensing her own feelings. The feelings she had buried so long ago. Along with her heart. Her knees felt so weak as she fell to the wet ground. Her alter power was sweeping across the lost ground carrying with it a sadness. A hurting, lost feeling. But with it was the hope of a new biggining. Of her lost love returning to her.
As Brine and Strane watched the girl they both agreed that she was the target they were looking for. For a moment Brine had a second thought about this mission. I mean she was just an innocent girl... What had she ever done wrong, but he was afriad of Strane and so moved on ahead.
The girl was so caught up in her alter that she already knew what they were planning and yet she hadn't enough time to stop it. As the dart struck her in her arm she winced in pian. She looked at the one who had shot it and for a second she saw a look of pity, and then her vision went black.
Brine was the first one to the girl and made sure her breathing was steady-much to the displeasure of Strane- it was and so they loaded her up and drove off. Strane all the time knew the fate of the young girl...
She was just biat... and then when they no longer had a use for her... They'd kill her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Mimori wiated frantically for Kanami to return from her walk... But she didn't. Soon she had both Tachibana and Ryuho out looking for her, but they came back hours later and still hadn't found her.
Ryuho left mysteriously to go do somthing and this made Mimori even more uneasy. As Ryuho made his way out to the garage once more he heard Kazuma crashing stuff agiant walls and much else. "There's a pretty good chance that she just took a walk and hasn't come back yet."
He siad not too reasuringly. "You know as well as I do that that's not a possibility." Kazuma said and walked off.
"Where're you going?" Ryuho asked.
"To find Kanami." He siad in a vicsious tone and Ryuho just watched his retreating form in understanding, and yet he couldn't help but blame himself for this happining... She should've never been out there.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kanami whoke to her head pounding. She was hanging from a wall by shackles to her arms. She tried to move and yet it was no use. She was strong... but not that strong. Still she knew deep down that she didn't want to fight it... She didn't want to hurt anymore. She wanted it to all go away.
Her eyes were dull, and held no life, and her body stiff as she breathed in the damp, moldy air. There was only a crack of light coming from somewhere above her. Her alter power sensed somone coming.. He was coming to hurt her. She took a deep breathe as the door opened. The man held a whip in his hand and Kanami didn't even so much as flinch.
As he lifted the whip and cracked it across her chest a cry of pian was heard but she would not call out with her alter power...
She would not put Kazuma in danger. She'd rather give her own life... and this was the reality of it. As he once agian cracked the whip not a word was said and the blood slowly ran rown her shirt. Her face was covered with sweat, blood, and dirt and as she fell into an unconscious state she had to hold herself back as all she got out was 'Kazu-'... and then her world once more went black her life hanging in the balence of life and deathe... and of trust and hope.
