Shugo Chara

Shadow of the Past

Chapter 1: Baptism by Fire

"Rai! Rai!" yelped a young blonde haired little girl, "c'mon Rai, Tadase and Ikuto are already safe, you have to come out sooner or later!"

Near the little blonde girl stood two little boys with their hands resting on a tree. Apparently the little children were playing a game of hide-and-go-seek. One of the boys, the shorter one had very pale skin that made it seem as though he had never been out in the sun. his eyes were a deep red that seemed to glow with a commanding presence. He also had blonde hair with two large strands to the sides of his eyes and a few strands sticking out the back of his head.

The other boy was much taller; he had amazing mid-night blue hair and matching sapphire colored eyes that beamed with strength and joy. He had lightly tanned skin and was much more masculine that the other boy.

The little blonde girl was shorter than the taller boy with mid-night blue hair, but taller than the other blonde haired boy. She possessed fair, light skin that made her very cute. Her hair was a graceful blonde that was styled into two pig-tails on either side of her head. Just like the taller boy, she also possessed sapphire colored eyes, but instead they seemed to glow with a childlike innocence and warmth that only belonged to her.

"Hey Utau," yelled Ikuto, "stop standing there and go and get him!"

The young girl, Utau, just turned around and stuck out her tongue, but as soon as she did, a figure burst from the bushes nearby and started running towards the tree that Tadase and Ikuto were holding. The figure himself was fast as he dashed towards the tree while Utau could only try desperately to catch him. He was far too fast for her and she tripped and fell and scrapped her knee.

The young figure was about to touch the tree when he began to hear someone sobbing. He turned around to notice Utau on the ground with her hands on her eyes as she continued to cry. The young figure slowly lowered his hand and began to walk towards her. He bent down onto his knees as he looked at the little girl.

"Hey Utau," said the little boy, "are you ok?"

The little girl lowered her hands and looked into the familiar eyes of her best friend Rai. The little boy named Rai smiled when he noticed her stop crying.

Rai himself was the same age as Ikuto and just as tall as he was. He had dark black hair that put even the night to shame. His hair was spikey in the back while the top half of his face was covered with the black strands of his bangs. All-in-all it made him look very handsome for some his age. He had well toned light skin and nicely sculpted body. Yes he was still a young boy, he didn't have a six-pack or anything, but he still had a nice shape for some his age. Perhaps the most interesting trait about Rai were his different colored eyes. His right eye was a deep crimson, while the other a dark blue but they both seemed to strike a sense of dread into anyone, while at the same time a sense of warmth and safety.

Rai looked down and noticed that Utau's knee was badly scrapped and bleeding a little. He looked around for anything to help her and noticed the bandanna on his writst. It was Rai's favorite and most prized possession. It possessed and intricate black and white checkerboard pattern and in the center of the bandanna rested the image of the Japanese calligraphic word for Zero. That very wristband had actually saved his life when he was much younger and he now carried and wore it with him everywhere. So when he removed it and wrapped it around her injured knee, Utau couldn't help but gasp.

"No! Rai, that's your favorite bandanna, I can't take it!"

The young boy could not help but smile as he continued to wrap it around her knee. He finished and looked up at her as he said,

"My friendship with you and Ikuto and Tadase is more important to me than some bandanna. I never want to see you or anyone else get hurt. I would rather loose my most precious belongings than loose you."

The little girl blushed a cute pink as Rai finished. He stood up and held his hand out to help her up. She took his hand and he pulled her up just as Ikuto and Tadase arrived. "Geez Rai," said Ikuto, "you're such a goody-two-shoes." Tadase just shushed him as he said, "Don't listen to Ikuto onee-chan, are you okay Utau onii-san."

The little girl smiled and nodded.

"I'm fine thanks to Rai."

The said little boy just blushed and put a hand behind his head as he said, "Hehe, it was nothing."

The four friends continued to play with one another as the day continued. Anyone who would look at the young group could clearly see just how happy they all were, the deep joy in their eyes just from being with one another would bring a smile to everyone. Ikuto and Rai acted like the older brothers of the group, always watching over everyone and making sure they were safe. Though it was not clearly obvious, deep down the two considered themselves brothers. They knew everything about each other from the what they liked and disliked, what made them happy and sad, basically they were almost like twins. If anyone ever picked on Utau or Tadase they would always partner up and protect their friend.

Tadase loved his friends very much and always called them Onee-chan (big brother) or for Utau, Onii-san (big sister) he always said that he wanted to be just like them all.

As for Utau she really like to be around everyone all the time and always had so much with her friends. However for some reason, she always seemed so much more excited and happy whenever she was with Rai. For as far back as she could remember to the beginning of her friendship with him, Utau would always smile whenever she was around Rai. Yes she enjoyed being with Tadase and Ikuto but it just wasn't the same as being with Rai. Tadase was still such a young child and she saw him more a little brother to take care of, and Ikuto constandly picked and made of her since he was the elder brother, but Rai was different. Whenver she was with Rai he would always make her feel better. Rai treated her as an equal, not as a little sister to make fun of, or a another person to hang out with, he always made her feel like their friendship meant so much more. She didn't know what to call this feeling, but we all come to know it is as love.

Soon the sun began to set and the four friends had to return home for supper.

"Hey guys, do me a favor?" said Rai as they all looked at him quizzically just before they were about to separate.

"Let's always be together." He said as he smiled.

They all looked at one another and back at him before nodding their heads and smiling happily.

Soon they all turned their separate ways, Rai and Tadase alone, while Ikuto and Utau went together but the young girl turned around with an expression stating that she clearly forgot something. She quickly ran over to Rai.

"Rai wait! What about your bandanna!?"

Rai turned around and looked at her injured knee, before looking back up at her with a smile.

"Don't worry, you can give it back to me when we see each other again."

He gave her a comforting smile before he turned away and began to walk home. The young girl looked at his bandanna on her knee before looking back up to him. By now he was far down the street and continued to grow smaller as he made his way back home.

The young girl just put her hands to her heart and continued to gaze on.

*********

"Moma, Papa! I'm home!" yelled Rai as he opened and closed the door to the Kururugi Manor. He looked around the intricately decorated foyer and noticed it was quiet. He made his way inside and began to look for his parents.

Rai, or as his full name is Raiden Kururugi, was the son of Xander and Alexis Kururugi. His father, Xander, was once a soldier, but soon retired and used his money to create a new worldwide company called Kururugi Industries. His mother, Alexis, was once a model, who became an actress. Both were very famous people, but at the same time were both very humble. They didn't act like rich spoiled people, but instead constantly gave money to charity. They were very kind, always helping those in need and frequently assisting the schools that needed more funding.

Rai himself was very much like his parents. He was very kind and humble, but when the situation called for something more violent or aggressive he could change without a problem. He was trained under his father to always be disciplined in both body and mind. At a young age Xander began to train him like a soldier, making him do physical training exercises to keep him in shape and taught him many basic combat techniques to defend himself. However, that did not mean he did not act like a loving father. Xander, when he wasn't training Rai, was a very loving father figure, always hugging his son and playing with him while Alexis watched on lovingly at her husband and son. They were all basically the epitome of a happy family.

Rai continued to walk along inside the Manor when a little floating figure landed on his shoulder.

"Oh hey there Dark." said Rai cheerfully as he took his little Shugo Chara off his shoulder and into the palm of his hand. That's right, Rai had a Shugo Chara. When he was younger, Rai awoke one day in his bed to find a black and white egg with strange markings on it and was to say the least very surprised. A few days, later after taking care of it and keeping it warm, it hatched and out came his Shugo Chara Dark. Rai desperately wanted to become a stronger person, to have the strength to keep his friends and family safe and out came Dark to grant his wish. They can't Character Transform, but they Rai and Character Change with Dark giving the young boy superhuman traits, such as strength, speed, stamina, dexterity and much more.

Dark himself was an interesting Shugo Chara. He had dark purple hair that matched his black ninja like suit. He had black gloves on and black boots. He wore black ninja pants and a long black ninja coat. Perhaps the most interesting trait about Dark where the two large batwings on his back. They didn't flap up and down, but just remained stationary as if they were powerful enough just to make him float. Dark had purple eyes that matched his hair and his signature mischievous grin that always spelled some kind of trouble.

"Hey there buddy," said the little Shugo Chara, "what took you so long to get home?"

"Sorry Dark," said the young boy, "but I was just having so much fun with my friends that I lost track of time hehe."

Rai had yet to tell anyone about Dark, even his friends and he never really brought him around with him anywhere for fear that people, even his friends my be extremely shocked.

"Hey Dark," said Rai, "have you seen my parents?"

"Sorry partner," responded the little character, "I actually just woke up and the first person I saw was you."

Rai was about to say something, but was cut off by the sound of something crashing in the other room. Rai immediately burst through the double doors to the Manor living room and what he saw shocked and horrified him. His mother and father were both tied to chairs and a dark figure with a cloak stood in front of them, a menacing deadly looking katana in his hands.

"Moma, Papa!!" yelled Rai as he rushed towards them.

Alexis saw her son running towards them and immediately yelled, "No Rai!! Don't come any closer, stay away from him!"

'Him' thought Rai and he noticed the cloaked figure turn around and gaze upon him. He removed his hood and revealed his face to the young boy. The dark figure had a face devoid of all emotion except for one; the desire for power and to kill. Both his eyes made of pure darkness; both his retinas were completely black. His teeth looked as though they were made of fangs. He had a mustache that reached around the corners of his mouth and to the bottom of his chin and his hair looked as though they formed two horns. Both his mustache and hair were black. Rai was so shocked that he couldn't move to run away as the figure began to walk towards him.

"NO!!" yelled Xander as he watched in horror.

The black cloaked figure grabbed Rai by the neck and tossed him at the foot of where his parents were tied up. He walked back towards them as he said, "Good the whole family is here, no I can complete my mission without any problem."

"Who are you? What do you want, you sick monster!?" asked a panic stricken Alexis as she looked at him with horror.

"My name is Tyranus and my dear Alexis, you and your husband should know the answer to that more than anyone else, after all it was you and Xander here that betrayed Easter." replied the cloaked figure.

"No! It can't be!" both Xander and Alexis whispered in shock.

"Moma, Papa what is he talking about?" asked Rai as he looked at his parents with wonder.

"It's nothing Rai-" started Xander but was cut off when the dark figure.

"Trying to shield the boy from the truth huh" said Tyranus, "fine if you won't tell him, then I will."

"No don't!" shouted Xander.

SMACK!!

Xander quickly fell over as Tyranus pulled back his fist after punching him in the face. "No!! Xander!! Please leave us alone, don't you understand what Easter is trying to do!! They're just using you for their own schemes!!" pleaded a tearful Alexis.

Tyranus just smiled his sick grin and replied, "I know they are, I have to say, the pay is amazing, especially for you people."

"What is going on?" asked a confused Rai.

"Don't you know boy," said Tyranus, "your parents used to work for Easter. What they didn't tell you, they were very high up back when they worked for Easter. I believe that they were actually the top assassins for the company. So how many did both of you snuff out, should I tell him altogether or from each one of you?"

Alexis was balling by now, tears were freely streaming down her face.

"Please don't tell him, please he's innocent to all of this!" pleaded Alexis, but Rai was already beyond that. He couldn't believe it, his parents assassins, no that couldn't be right. His father was a soldier, he fought to protect people and his mother was a beautiful model and actress.

"But my parents…my papa was a soldier and my mama was a actress" said a stunned Rai.

"Pssh," said Tyranus as he laughed evily, "is that what they told you. That's all nothing but a huge lie. Before they bretrayed the company your parents were murderers, cold blooded assassins whose sole purpose was to kill. And they sure as hell did a good job of it too."

"SHUT UP!!" out of nowhere Xander suddenly stood up and tackled Tyranus into the wall. While Tyranus was talking he was cutting himself loose with his pocket knife. When he noticed they time was right he finally leapt up. However as they both collided into the wall Tyranus' sword cut down one of the lamps hanging on the wall. It immediately shattered and sparks caught onto the drapes of the nearby window causing them to catch on fire. The fire itself quickly spread as soon the entire room was blazing.

Xander quickly recovered and slammed Tyranus' hand with his sword high over his head pinning him to the wall to disarm him. He turned to Rai and said, "Rai free your mother now!!"

Rai nodded and quickly ran over and began to untie his mother. Once she was free they both stood up and were about to run to help Xander but froze when they turned and saw what was before them. Tyranus had broken Xander's grasp and had plunged his sword into his chest causing it to emerge out of his back. Alexis and Rai were frozen with fear, 'This isn't happening' thought Rai as he saw Tyranus draw back his sword. Xander fell to his knees and looked at his wife and son one last time and said,

"Rai, Alexis…I love you" before he fell to the ground…dead.

"PAPA NOOOOOO!!!!" screamed Rai as he tried to run to his father, but couldn't as Alexis held him back. She wanted to do nothing more than to run to her husband as well but couldn't as she looked at the sick murderer Tyranus.

She took Rai's hand and immediately forced them both to run out the room. Rai was crying histerically as they both ran through the Manor which was now completely on fire. Burning furniture lay everywhere and smoke filled their lungs, but they kept on running to get away from Tyranus. It was no use though as the said monster himself appeared when they turned the corner. Alexis quickly took Rai and looked at him.

"Rai listen to me you have to be strong now okay. You have to get out of here and run do you understand?"

Rai himself was having difficulty controlling himself as he tried to respond, "But…p-p-papa…he's-he's…"

"I know Rai, I know, but unless you listen to me, what he did will be in vain. Remember what your father taught you. Always be strong." She said that, but deep in her heart she wasn't really listening to herself. She knew what she had to do now, it was going to be difficult, but if Rai was to get out here alive she had to do it. "Now go Rai, get out of here and run as far away as you can."

"B-b-but what about you mama?!" he asked we deep concern.

"Don't worry Rai, I'll be fine. Just get out of here and I'll come find you after I deal with him." She finished as she nodded her head towards Tyranus who was just standing there with his sword to the side.

"I love you mama!" cried Rai as he hugged Alexis.

"And I love you Rai!! Please be safe." She said as she hugged him back. They separated and Rai quickly ran away leaving Alexis to face Tyranus.

"Well now," said the sick assassin, "that was very heart warming, but unfortunately I lost my heart a long time ago. Now then shall we get started?"

Alexis wiped the tears from her eyes she took a fighting stance, "I'm going to make you pay you bastard!"

*********

Rai was frantically looking for a way out of the Manor, there was fire everywhere. Everything he knew and loved was slowly being consumed by the monstrous flames as he could only watch in fear. Eventually collapsed and began to cry. He would have given up right then and there if Dark hadn't shown up.

"RAI!! RAI!! Oh my God!! There you are?" said the Shugo Chara, "we have to get the hell out of here!!

"Dark, I can't," said the young boy as he began to cry again, "my parents…my papa….he's-he's-he's and my momma is…I just don't know!"

"Rai listen to me!" started Dark as he shouted over the burning Manor, "I know it's difficult, but if you don't get up and move then your father's death won't mean anything, we have to-"

BOOM!!

The wall in front of them suddenly exploded sending debris everywhere as Dark and Rai both shielded themselves form the pieces of rock. There was now a massive gap in the wall and there stood Tyranus with his blood-lust filled grin.

"Two down one to go."

"No…momma…" whimpered Rai as he backed up into the wall.

Dark, seeing the way things were going, quickly used what little power he had to try and fight Tyranus.

"So you have a Shugo Chara?" said Tyranus as he swatted Dark away. The little Chara landed in a pile of rubble. He shook his head to clear his disorientation and noticed a familiar looking sword lying next to him. It was a straight edged katana with a black handle. On the blade in Japanese were the words

The End justifies the Means

It was Xander's most prized sword Vengeance

Dark quickly looked back at Rai who was now sitting right below Tyranus.

"Now it's your turn boy. It time for you to join your weak parents in doom" said Tyranus.

"YOUR WRONG!!" screamed Rai and out of nowhere a surge of power burst from him and he suddenly character changed. Dark quickly took advantage of Tyranus' confusion and used all of his strength to throw Vengeance to Rai who caught it. As soon as it touched his hand the sword glowed a radiant silver and ignited with power as Rai began to pummel Tyranus with it.

The Easter Assassin had almost no time to block each attack as he desperately defended himself.

"MY PARENTS WEREN'T WEAK!!" yelled Rai as he continued to slash at him.

"YOU MURDERED THEM!! THEY WERE GOOD PEOPLE!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"

Tyranus was finally backed into a wall and his options to defend himself were limited as he continued to desperately block Rai's attacks. He noticed an opening in Rai's attacks a took his chance. Rai never saw it coming as Tyranus took the botton part of the hilt of his sword and rammed it into Rai's stomach knocking the breath out of him. Rai fell to the ground on his knees, his father's sword still in his hand. Dark took the chance to charge at Tyranus' who just grabbed the little Guardian Chara out the air without looking. Dark tried to wrestle free, but Tyranus' grip was far too strong and eventually he just passed out. Tyranus' continued to gaze at the boy on the ground in front of him. He was still kneeling there and breathing very hard.

'He's so young yet, he nearly defeated me, and that power.' Thought Tyranus, 'It was so strong it actually threw me off. With a little bit more training this little boy could have actually beat me. He's so tired from that sudden wave of power, he can't even stand. My mission is to kill the entire Kururugi family but…'

Tyranus reached down and grabbed the young boy the neck of his shirt.

"Are you listening to me Raiden Kururugi," said Tyranus as he looked at the young boy hanging limply in his arms, "my mission is to kill your entire family and you. I'm not going to kill you, instead I have something far worse planned for you, but first…" without warning a surge of powerful thunder erupted from Tyranus' hands and began to shock both Rai and Dark.

The pain was excrutiating, Dark could barely hold himself together. All he could do was scream in pain as he felt the darkness begin to take over him. He was losing himself in every sense. He was losing his name, his purpose, his sense of living. Nothing no longer made any sense, he could feel himself changing and slowly a white X began to appear on his clothing where his heart was.

Rai was feeling the same excruciating pain as Dark was. His whole body was engulfed in torture and agony as he could only cry out in pain. And slowly a bloody scar began to appear on his right eye. It began from top of his right eyebrow and cut down through his skin and ended just near his cheek-bone. The worst part was, he was beginning to forget himself. Images of all his happy times began to flash through his mind and disappear into nothing. His entire family flashed before his eyes and just as quickly disappeared. Who were those people, he no longer knew. The most painful part of it all was to see the happy times that he and his friends shared. An image of him, Utau, Ikuto and Tadase appeared before him. It lingered there longer than anything else as he tried desperately cling to it.

"Tadase…Ikuto…Utau…I'm sorry" and with those last words the image of his beloved friends and himself shattered and passed out from the pain.

Tyranus finally ceased the thunder and looked at the two in his hands. Dark was no longer his former self. His once elegant wings were now torn and cut. His clothing was charred, his skin was scarred and most of all there now rested a ominous looking white X on his heart.

As for Rai, although he didn't bear any strong physical changes like Dark, his mind was in great turmoil. 'Who am I? Where am I? What's going on?' all these thoughts quickly raced through his head and the only thing he knew was that his name was Rai Kururugi and that was all.

Tyranus looked at the two figures in his hand before throwing Rai over his shoulder and putting Dark into his coat pocket. And just like that he burst through the window and vanished into the night.

*********

Ikuto and Utau had finally come home and were playing in their rooms when they heard something crash below. They came rushing down to see what was going on and were surprised to see their parents staring wide eyed at the television, a shattered cup of coffee on the floor in front of them.

"Moma, Papa, what's going on?" asked Utau.

However Ikuto quickly nudged his sister as they both watched in disbelief at what they saw on the television. The news was broadcasting a live feed of a beautiful manor on fire. But what really caught their attention was that they actually knew that manor, it belonged to-

"RAI!!" they both shouted in unison. They both bounded out the door with their parents following calling them back. In a few minutes they finally arrived at the scene of the fire and were horrified at what they saw. The beautiful manor where they all once played together so many times was crumbling to ashes. The entire fire was eating it up and only one thing came up on their minds. They quickly noticed Tadase and went over to him.

They asked if he had seen Rai and if had made it out, but the little boy only shook his head, tears streaming down his eyes. 'It can't be' thought Ikuto, 'Rai he can't be- he can't be. No!' He wanted to badly shout it out but he had keep his composure for his sister and his friend.

Utau on the other hand was losing herself. She was crying as she tried to get past the blockade of firemen. She so badly wanted to find him, to see him, to give him back his bandanna. She had taken it off earlier and was now holding onto it for dear life. She kept trying to push through but the firemen wouldn't budge and Ikuto finally came up behind her and tried to pull her back too, but she wouldn't let up.

"Rai!!" yelled Utau, praying that somehow he would just walk out of the fire, safe and sound, praying that she could see his face, his smile again.

"Rai!"

"Rai!!"

"RAI!!!!"

Present Day

"RAI!!!"

Utau woke up screaming his name as she remembered the nightmare that she had just moments ago. The only problem was, it wasn't a nightmare though. It was all real. On that faithful day Rai Kururugi had died and with him a part of herself, Ikuto, and Tadase.

After he died, things just weren't same between herself, Ikuto, and Tadase. The two boys eventually fell apart and their friendship was broken. Utau, with no else to look to, had fallen in love with her own brother and so eager to have him love her back. However deep down she knew it would never be the same, it would be never be like how she felt when she was with Rai.

She got out of bed and exited her room. Opening the door to the room across her's, Utau peeked inside and notice Sanjou-san still asleep. She quickly made her way down to the second floor of their building, the studio and main office, and looked out the window. It was a full moon just like how it was on that fateful night. She quickly returned to her room, but before climbing into bed again, she opened her personal drawer and took out a familiar looking bandanna. It was much older now and worn out. And the calligraphic word was beginning to fade out, but it still held so much importance to her as she clutched to her heart. She returned to bed with it and lay back down on her side keeping the bandanna next to her heart the whole time as she whispered to herself.

"We all miss you so much Rai… I miss you."

*********

A lone dark figure stood on top of the tallest building in the city looking down at the scenery below. He stood tall a top the very edge un-afraid of the deadly height he was at and unwavering as the cold wind blew around him. It was a full moon and the light cast by it illuminated the dark figures features. He wore a dark ninja/assassin outfit. He wore black boots than ran up to just right below his knee and black gloves that extended to his forearms. He donned a pair of black ninja pants and his chest was covered a by black long sleeved shirt. On top of that he wore a black assassin coat. It adhered to his body well displaying his amazing physique. The coat was tied at his waist but he bottom half was left un-tucked. It would have normally flowed just below the figures calves, but since the wind was blowing, it waved in the breeze with a deadly presence. On his back rested an intricate straight edge katana with the words:

The End justifies the Means

engraved in Japanese on the right side of the blade.

He had black hair that put even the night shame and his hair was spikey in the back while the top half of his face was covered with the black strands of his bangs. The other half of his face, his mouth and nose the lower back part of his head and his entire neck was covered by a black mask that was part of the black long-sleeved shirt he wore. Perhaps the most defining trait about this dark clothed figure were his eyes. His left eye was a dark blue that burned with a sense of warmth and compassion, while his right eye, which had a massive scar from the top of his eye-brow to his upper cheek, was a deep crimson that radiated a sense of anger and power from deep within. He was a very handsome young man, but the fact was that he could care less. He only had one mission in his life.

"Observing the city?"

The black figure was shaken from his thoughts an elder man in a black cloak appeared next to him.

"Yes, I was trying to see if I could sense this so called Embryo."

The figure in the cloak only chuckled ominously as he began to remove his hood revealing his true face. He was old, yet his speech and his actions did not dictate so. He possessed a mustache that ran around the corners of his mouth and extended all the way to his chin. And he had hair that was shaped in the form of two menacing horns. The may have once been a terror driven black, but his age was beginning to show, both his mustache and hair were now a dark gray, but he did not care at all.

"Ah yes, the Embryo. Patience my boy, patience. We have only just arrived to this city and are only beginning our new mission. For now you have a new assignment. Tomorrow I want you to find these so called Guardians of Seiyo Academy. You will observe them and gather as much information as possible, if you bump into them personally see what you can find out. The boss is very interested in one them, the girl named Amu Hinamori. Do not kill them, for we will need them, for now at least. Do you understand my apprentice?"

The young man in black leapt from the edge where he was standing and bowed before the elder man. "I understand Lord Tyranus."

"Very good," responded the man named Tyranus, "now prepare yourself for tomorrow Rai, you will begin your assignment in morning."

The young man only continued to bow before saying,

"As you wish, my master."

Author's Note

Whew that took forever to write. For anyone out there interested about he couples, in case you couldn't tell, this is going to be mainly an UtauXOC fanfic, but there will be other couples as well, including AmuXIkuto.

Also I'm sorry if you the Guardians are not in this chapter. I tried to focus it more on the main theme, but I promise you they will be in the next chapter.

Hope you enjoyed reading, please leave a review

Thanks :)
