Emily sighed, she hated how sickly she had been since she was a child. Sure, it was understandable that it ran in the family, but that didn't mean she was okay with it. It wasn't all that surprising when a female member of the O'Heir bloodline would get sick, but that hadn't sweetened the situation. Emily hated it the most because she wasn't able to go out and be with people her age, even now as a sixteen year old. She was lonely, she had not a pet nor another human that she could confide in, or at least talk to.

In a way, Emily blamed her parents. If they hadn't had her, or had at least chosen different people, she wouldn't be suffering the way she was now. She'd often scold herself for such thoughts. They were dead, her being angry about what couldn't be changed was stupid. There was, however, one way that Emily had learned to pass the time: Watching Anime.

She loved it! Sometimes, if Emily could pretend hard enough, she was able to see herself as the main character. Alas, once the show was over she was brought back to that bitter place known as reality. Emily would always plead with her grandmother for a pet so she wouldn't be lonely, but was always met with a harsh no. With a sigh, she leaned back in her prison like bed.

Emily was sure that all she had to add were bars at the windows and the door and her room would complete the prison like theme. Emily was a girl of rich heritage! Born with shoulder long curly ginger hair, her pale porcelain skin was dusted lightly with freckles in some areas, and Doe like eyes that were an emerald sheen. Emily was petite, given her sickness, stood at only 5'5", and could barely eat half of her weight. She looked down at her attire, sick and displeased with the sight of it.

Emily was clad in a yellow silken pajama set, the pants being hidden under her blanket, with a small pink blanket hung over her shoulders. Had Emily known no better, she would have assumed she was in the hospital. She wouldn't be completely wrong considering the fact that she had so much medicine and medical equipment that surrounded her. She jolted out of her normal day to day thoughts when there was a loud round of knocking on her door.

"Come in!"

She was sure that it was just one of the maids with her medicine or perhaps to check up on her to make sure that she wasn't dead. It shocked her to find that it was her grandmother's butler, Kevin, who entered her room. Curiosity consumed her as she locked her gaze on the large box in his hands.

"Greetings, Lady Emily! I bring a gift from your grandmother, Madame Silvia!"

Kevin had always been a joyful boy, he was only of age twenty one. Emily envied him for being so happy, for him being free unlike how she was allowed to be.

"Is it more medicine?"

The sarcastic remark left a bitter taste in her mouth. Kevin only laughed and shook his head. More often than not, when her grandmother had a gift for her, it was never something that could really be classified as a gift.

Kevin chuckled under his breath,

"No, no, Lady Emily. You'll like this one."

He smiled as he placed the box on her lap, bowing and leaving the room. She wondered what he could have meant by that. Her grandmother couldn't even guess what her favorite color was if her life depended on it. The box jolted, causing Emily to let out a tiny gasp, her eyes widening.

Opening the box, Emily felt the air leave her lungs. Inside there were four little kittens, though they looked strange to her. One of the them had bubblegum pink fur with a white underbelly and paws, her eyes were a beautiful shade of emerald green, her tail was a bob. Another sported a coat that was a navy blue color with her tail tipped white, her eyes were an unnatural shade of lavender and her front paws were white as well, her tail was long and slightly fluffy. The third one had a bleach blonde colored coat with prettiest sky blue eyes, her tail was long and bushy.

The last one had dark brown fur with beautiful chestnut brown eyes with a long slick tail. The lavender eyed one looked scared to death, Emily couldn't help but feel pity for the small kitten.

"Hello there, little one...",

Emily kept her voice down as she gently reached into the box, picking the poor thing up. Ever so slowly, Emily held it to her chest.

"Everything is going to be okay... There there...",

Emily whispered small words of reassurance to the kitten as she moved to allow the kitten to lay on her bed. The other's meowed loudly as they climbed out of the box.

"Well hello to you, too."

Emily let out a tiny laugh as she moved to give them some room. She wouldn't lie the kittens really did remind her of Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Ten-Ten from Naruto. Emily shook her mind of such thoughts, feeling silly. She watched them, observing how they walked and observed the room around them from the bed, paying Emily no mind. It wasn't until she had woken up from her daze that she had noticed all of them were looking at her in curiosity, a trait that she was sure ran in any kind of felines blood.

"I'm quite the daydreamer sometimes."

Emily laughed; she wondered if the reason they had been staring at her was because she looked creepy when she daydreamed. This was the first time that she had had someone else with her when she daydreamed. This was the first time that she would have company at all. Now that she thought about it, why was she explaining herself to her new pets? Sure, Emily was sure that they understood, as Emily believed that animals were intelligent but, she still felt silly about it.

The ginger looked over them,

"How about some names?"

She wanted to call them all by names, not just calling them kittens or little balls of fur.

Emily just couldn't name them after the four Kunoichi that they reminded her of. That was a big no no and she wouldn't allow herself to do so. Moving her hand to pet the kitten she had picked up she let her mind wander to think of a name, looking over her features to help her decide. It took her a little bit but soon Emily found herself with a perfect name for her.

"I'll name you Saoirse. A mysterious name for a mysterious kitten."

Emily felt pleased with the name. She had also chosen it because Saoirse reminded her of Saoirse from Song of the Sea. Her emerald eyes had met another pair of emerald eyes, a color she would have never expected for a cat. It made her a little uneasy with how different they had all looked, but she also felt connected to them. Emily had always been different than most people in her family, the oddity of the felines made her feel comfortable.

A first for her. Reaching over to scratch her behind the ear she smiled as the tiny one began to purr.

"How about Rose for you? You remind me of a Rose Quartz."

Emily smiled at the reference she had made, she just wondered if her Rose was like the other Rose. Rose hadn't seemed to mind and nuzzled against the petite girl's hand. Emily smiled before turning her attention to the beautiful blonde kitten that sat patiently next to the brown kitten who decided to lay down.

"I think... I think I'll name you Medallion. Like a golden medallion."

Emily grinned as she ran her fingers over the kitten's body, a motion that Medallion didn't seem to mind.

"Last but not least, you."

Emily had turned her attention to the last kitten, who looked at her expectantly.

"How about Eartha? Like Eartha Kitt, a strong woman who I admired greatly."

Emily felt relieved when Eartha hadn't put up a fuss with her name. In all honesty, Emily was glad that none of them had put up a fuss about her naming skills.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure where my grandmother had found you, but I can only assume that it must have been scary for you. To be taken, then suddenly brisked into my room... It must have been terrifying…"

Emily started, she still felt silly talking to them but it was better than her just talking to herself.

"I've been asking for pets for a while now, but I had always been told no. I gave up hope for having one a long time ago. It looks like good things come to those who wait."

Emily smiled as she laid on her side before closing her eyes.

"I've been alone for quite some time. I'm not allowed to leave my bed or go outside because I was born weak and I get sick easily. I can't even explain how many medications I've been put on just to be kept alive."

Emily sighed as she opened her eyes only to roll them. The kittens looked at one another before moving to lay beside her. Emily didn't really mind though.

"Come now, don't tell me you feel sorry for me."

She teased with a tiny chuckle.

"Being cooped up in here gave me the chance to put my mind and my senses to use, you know?"

Emily smiled, trying to make things seem lighter than they actually were.

"The smells of nature, the calls of the birds, the songs of the wind, and the rustle of the plant life. There are so many things to see and admire. Few people notice them!"

Emily rolled onto her back and looked toward her open window, admiring the beautiful full moon. Though it was weird, Emily couldn't quite place her finger on why she was so open with her kittens. She had just gotten them, yet she was willing to open up to them than actual people. It dawned on her though. It was top secret that the O'Heir bloodline had both its attraction and connection to magic.

It was uncommon for them to not want anything to do with magic. While Emily was one of the few who had no interest in it, being the fact that magic could get messy or out of hand. That didn't mean that it wasn't around her nonetheless. Her grandmother Silvia, however, was one of the few who had a deep love for magic. She wondered if the color of the kittens was because of her grandmother's magic or more so the blood that ran through her veins.

It wasn't much of a brain teaser, and she was willing to assume that her grandmother had been planning this. It wouldn't be too farfetched, now that Emily thought about it. Silvia was well aware of Emily's love for both Japanese culture as well as Anime. Emily knew that her grandmother was fully aware of her love for the Anime series Naruto. It probably wasn't a coincidence that her new pets looked the way they did.

"Would you all like to listen to some music?"

Emily questioned as she grabbed her phone from off the nightstand. Opening YouTube and typing something in quickly, she found a playlist from The Garden Of Words. The ginger had fallen in love with the movie from the first time she had seen it. It was amazing and breathtaking! Emily couldn't even begin to comprehend how someone could make such a beautiful movie with such quality.

The music flowed through the room like a cloud of mist during a rainstorm, it made Emily feel so at peace. It brought back the vivid memories she had from watching the movie. The girl could remember every small detail from that day and it was almost as if she were there once more, watching the movie again. She hummed along to the best of her ability as the music played. The four kittens watched her in awe, as if they could see what she could. It was almost like they were in a beautiful place surrounded by lush green life and the smell of rain caressing them. Emily laughed as the kittens climbed up to lay on her stomach, looking over at the window a thunderstorm was brewing.

"It couldn't have been a better time for the sky to cry for us. A change for the cloud, as normally he cried along with us..."

She muttered, a soft smile on her face as her bright eyes shimmered. She had the heart of a Pisces in a garden pond underneath the beautiful night sky. A Pisces in her natural habitat, safe from all that wanted to hurt her. Emily could write anything that she saw, Emily was special. The kittens were in awe, having never heard anything like it.

Emily had started to drift off to sleep, the sound of her humming coming to a soft stop. Without meaning to, Emily's heavy eyelids had fluttered down in the request of rest. The kittens were left to talk to themselves until it was time for her to wake up.

A world of dreams had taken Emily, letting her drift alongside of the sky that cried for her as it always did.

"You do not have to cry.."

She mumbled to him as she reached out a hand, the rain still kissing her face. She blinked away the water from her eyelashes as the water continued to fall. Emily closed her eyes for just a moment before having the urge to open them once more.

"Emily..."

A male voice that she couldn't recognize called for her. Her emerald green eyes snapped open to see that a arm was reaching for her. She couldn't tell whose hand it was, but she felt connected to the owner of the hand.

"Who are you?"

Her voice was soft as Emily felt herself thirst for a name. Her heart was thumping faster than she had ever felt it, but this time Emily didn't feel scared. Emily was sure that she wasn't going to have a heart attack.

"I'll be there soon... I will come for you..."

A blush had began to caress her cheeks, just as his hand did. His thumb caressed her lips now, which she kissed.

"A name, you must have a name. What is your name?"

She nuzzled his hand, her emerald eyes still unable to see who the arm belonged to. There was a bright light that was blocking him from her, as if where he was, the rain couldn't reach. Maybe that was why the sky was crying?

"In due time... Until then, hold onto my hand..."

Emily felt disappointment at not being given what she had asked for. He knew her name yet she wasn't allowed to know his just yet? It wasn't enough to make her blood boil, but it was enough to make her pout. As if he could see her, her let out a tiny chuckle.

"Once we meet, I'll answer all your questions."

It was a compromise that Emily would knew would take some time. Did either of them know when they would meet?

"How long...?"

Emily took his much larger hand in her own and placed it to her cheek again, nuzzling it. He gently ran his thumb against the soft skin, she could feel him smile sadly.

"I'm not sure..."

Emily felt her heart drop. What if they never met?

"I have to go... Emily, remember this, will you?"

Emily nodded, her tears mixing into the rain. The thumb that had been caressing her cheek wiped the tears away from her eyes. She felt him smile just a little bit at her.

"Also remember that no matter what happens, I will find you. I love you.."

He hesitated a moment more before he pulled away. Emily reached back for him, but before she could grab him, he was gone. Her hand continued to reach for what wasn't there anymore, her mind on him.

"I love you too... Ka-"

Her mind went dark, and she fell asleep within her dream.
