By: Jupiter-1685
Beginning:Reichal Sanada was a 17-year-old girl, who lived with her Grandpa, older brother Ryo, who usually is girl crazy, younger brother Rodney and little sisters Reagan and Rebecca. Reichal was called Rei for short by her parents when she was a baby the name kind of stuck. Ryo always protects his brother and sisters when even they do or don't need to be protected. Both of Ryo's, Rei's, Rodney's, Reagan's, and Rebecca's Parents died in a House fire, when they all were very young. They are now living with their Mother's parents in their temple.11 Years Before:"Mommy, Where are you?" 5 year old Rei cries, from in side her bedroom. "It's getting really hot in here."
"Rei, where are you?" her father yelled.
"Daddy, I'm in my room I'm really hot." Rei cried from her bed.
"Rei don't move, I'm coming to get you." Rory Sanada yelled Rory Sanada, as he was searching for a way in to Rei's room.
"Daddy FIRE! There's fire on my door." Rei screams as she is crying from her bed.
"Honey don't go near the door. I'm coming, just sit on your bed, don't get off of it and go anywhere." Rory yells as he goes into Ryo's room.
Rei's father burst through the bathroom door grabs Rei and her blankets, also her teddy bear. "Daddy I'm Scared!" Rei cries, as her father carries her away.
"Dad, where's Mom?" Ryo says who was 6 and had raven hair and blue eyes, was down stairs waiting for his father with his brother Rodney who was 4, had Raven black hair and midnight blue eyes. His Sisters Reagan and Rebecca were with them. Reagan is 3 and had raven hair and amythest eyes. Rebecca is 1 and she had dirty blonde hair and amythest eyes.
"Here take you sisters and brother outside before it blows. I'm going to find your Mother." Rory puts Rei down next to Ryo.
Rory turns to go but then stops to talk to Ryo. Knowing that Rowena and him weren't going to make it. He had to have his kids look after one another, after they were gone.
"Ryo promise me, if your mother and I don't make it out that you will take care of you sisters and brother for us; do whatever it takes. Protect them from everything please Promise Me." their father at Ryo yells after a beam on fire hit the ground in between them.
"DAD!! NO!!" Ryo yells as he tries to get across to go after his father.
"Don't follow me, just promise me Ryo." Rory yells as he goes upstairs to get Rowena.
"I promise Dad, I promise." Ryo yells before he pushes Rei and the others outside.
"Good now I need you to go outside." yells their father as he goes up stairs.
"Come on guys lets go," Ryo says as he shoves her out side.
"What about Mommy and Daddy?" Rei cries. "I want my mommy and daddy!!!"
"They will be right out, Rei, Don't worry..." Ryo whispers.
Rei starts to walk to the house trying to go after her parents. "Rei, Don't it's gonna blow." Ryo yells as he pulls his sister back away from the House just as people gather around the 5 kids the house blows up with their parents in side.
"Mommy no!" Rei cries, as she goes over to the burning house.
"It's ok Rei I'm here." Ryo pulls Rei close before she gets any further along with Reagan and Rodney. Reagan and Rodney were crying since they lost their parents. Rebecca was just starring at the others, not know what was going on.
"The poor little dears, what are they going to do?" speaks a woman from next door. Who was out side with the kids, since she saw the fire from her house she came out to check if every one was ok.
"Do they have any relatives that they can live with? Do you know if they do?" asked one of their other neighbors.
"No I don't think so I never heard the Sanada's ever mention if they had any Relatives." Mrs. Clara Cox responds who was about 50 and was their next door neighbor.
While the kid's neighbors discussed the idea of what to do with all five Children that were now in their hands. Ryo, Rei, Rodney, Reagan, and Rebecca were looking at their burning house that had their parents in side. When Ryo heard Mrs. Cox talk about where they should put him, his sisters, and brother. He snapped out of his trance and started to talk to the ladies about having relatives that were alive and well.
"We have a Grandpa and Grandma on my mother's side." Ryo said with out looking at Mrs. Cox. Both of the Ladies stopped in mid sentence turn and look at Ryo.
"Ryo, dear, where do these Grandparents of yours live?" Mrs. Cox asked very gently.
"Live at the Cherry Hill Temple, yeah that is were Grandpa and Grandma Stein live. Mom always said if we needed to go anywhere we should go to Grandpa Stein's temple in the city called the Cherry Hill Temple." Ryo replied as he held on to his sister's hand.
"Well then you will have to stay with me until we've found your Grandparents. We will have to buy you, your brother and sisters some clothes and shoes." Mrs. Cox simply stated.In Mrs. Cox House:Mrs. Cox then took the 5 of them to her house to get some sleep. "Reichal, honey do you want to sleep in your own bed? Or do you want to sleep with your brothers and sisters?" Mrs. Cox asked Rei when they got inside the house. Rei moves closer to Ryo with out answering their current guardian. Rei was still in shock of what had just happened, she was also too scared to sleep alone in some strange house.
"Reichal honey, it's ok you can stay with Ryo. I know that you're scared with what had just happened." says Mrs. Cox, who tries to touch her cheek for reassurance. But Rei pulls away her Amythest eyes full of fear and hugs Ryo closer.
"I'm Sorry Mrs. Cox, Rei will probably be better in the morning, we'll just go to bed now. Which room will be ours for now?" Ryo asks who was holding Rei.
"This way kids, you can sleep in the guest room." Mrs. Cox says as she opens the door.
"Thank you Mrs. Cox. I'll put Rei to bed, so you won't have to do it and besides she probably wouldn't let you do it." says Ryo who was leading Rei over to the bed. "I'll also put the others to bed with us."
"Well alright, you kids get some sleep and if you need me I'll be right across the hall. Goodnight." Mrs. Cox smiles who closes the door.
Just as Mrs. Cox had closed the door, Rei had started to cry, "I want my mommy!"
Ryo had come to her aid in hugging her close and whispering words of comfort. "Rei don't worry, I'm here now. Tell you what why don't we both go to bed and in the morning we will talk about mommy and daddy. Ok with you? But right now we need to get some sleep. Reagan and Rebecca are already asleep see; Rodney is just about to fall asleep."
Rei nodded her little head, "Can you lay with me and hold me when we go to sleep?" Rei asked as Ryo layed her down in the bed and covered them both up with the covers. Then he holds her as she goes in to a troubled sleep, in the middle of the night Rei screamed out.
"Rei, wake up, it's alright, I'm here. It's just a nightmare, wake up little sister." Ryo says as he is shaking her gently by the shoulders to wake her up.Rei's Dream:
"Mommy, come back I need you with me here!" cries out Rei who is trying to reach her mother.
"Rei, you need to be a brave girl. For your father, and me even your brothers and sisters. You know sometimes that Ryo can be bit overbearing, then he needs to be. I have to go now and be an angel for god." says Rei's mother softly to Rei.
"I don't want you to be an Angel for God, I want you here with me, Ryo, Reagan, Rebecca, and Rodney. I don't want to go to Grandpa and Grandma Stein's Temple. I want to live in my house with you and Daddy again. Why did you and daddy have to go and die in the fire? It ain't fair, I need you here with me, not with God." cries Rei to her mother.
"Rei, I need to help God with some tasks here in Heaven. You'll see in time, but until then I will always be in here. (Points to Rei's Heart) Whenever you need me then, I'll be there. For now I want you to grow up to be beautiful Lady and I need you help to watch over Ryo and the others. Rebecca will need you to tell her stories about us. Reagan will need your reassurance about how it is going to ok. Rodney will need you to help in other things. I know you can take care of your self. You were always my brave one. Take care my dear daughter, you will learn in time of what your Life is all about." says Rei's mother as she is touching Rei's cheek.
"Mommy what is my purpose in life?" asks Rei who is very curious of what her mother is meaning about what she said.
"You'll learn in time my Dear." says Rei's mother as she fades away from Rei's view.
"No mommy don't go, I need you!" cries Rei, as she tries to reach for her mother.
Back in the Room:
Soon after Rei is woken up by Ryo shaking her gently. "Rei wake up, are you all right?" questioned Ryo, who had a worried look on his face. The others slept on when this was going on.
"I had a dream with mommy in it. Oh Ry, I want mommy back with me now. I don't like the thought of mommy not being here with us. Or even Daddy not even being here. It ain't fair that God had to choose our Mommy and Daddy to be angels for him." Rei explained who had the look like she was going to cry again.
"Rei, don't cry, our life will be alright without mommy and daddy. We are going to live with our Grandpa and Grandma. You probably don't remember what they look like because you were just a baby when they came for a visit. It will be nice living with a relative instead of going into an orphanage." Ryo explained, who trying to comfort Rei in her time of need.
"Will I like it a Grandpa and Grandma's Temple, I don't want to live in a place I don't like. Will I be going to school in the fall with you?" Rei questioned who was almost about to fall asleep again in Ryo's arms.
"Of course you go to school with me, why would you think that you would be able to go with me? You'll be in Kindergarten, and I'll visit you at lunch. But now is not the time to worry, now we must sleep." Ryo explained as he held Rei close until she fell asleep.
