WOOT!! my second one-shot!

And even thought it's Anise/Arietta

This is a FRIENDSHIP look on them

I don't like yuri!!

O.k...I still don't own them

But now onto the story!


'I never meant it! I never meant to say those horrible things! all those mean words, those biting, cutting, meant to hurt words I've said so much! I never meant any of it!' Anise's brown eyes clouded with never ending tears. She had made her way from the group, they had just came from Mt. Roneal and were taking short residents in Keterburg. Everyone had split up and got their own way to think of the up coming battle with Van. While some, mostly Anise, thought of the pervious fight they had come back from.

They had just fought with the last remaining God- Generals Largo, Legretta, and Arietta.

'Arietta...' a single tear fell from sorrowful chocolate brown eyes.


Fully white snow filled everyone's eye sight as they made their way up Mt. Roneal. They had just wounded around a corner and avoided confronting another troublesome monster, only to hear a nasally female voice coming from behind them.

"Stop! you are to go no further!" Legretta warned with her pistols aimed at Guy's face.

"Major Legretta! please stop! we are going to try and stop my brother! one last time!" Tear pleaded with her old instructor, only to be fired at,

"Fon master! please...don't get in the way!" Arietta's small voice sounded determined, Largo appeared behind the tiny girl.

"Arietta..."

"Don't Ion! you don't need to explain anything to that stupid Arietta!" Anise ran up to the green haired boy she was to protect with her life.

"Anise!"

"Some things are better not spoken" she whispered eyeing the confused pink haired girl,

"Go back princess! go back to your sweet little kingdom!" Largo sneered

"How dare you!? I will not return until I'm sure all the God- Generals and Van are dead!" Natalia sneered equally dark,

"humph" he replied, the God- Generals readied themselves as did the Heroes. They battled until ether team lost all it's members. The God- Generals had lost.


They had won! all three remaining Generals had all fought at the same time and still lost. However it was a bitter sweet victory, for the battle had caused an avalanche.

"Damn it! the fight caused an avalanche! everyone RUN!" Jade screamed, as everyone ran from the steadily coming- from- behind blanket of snow, ice and frost.

"Where are we?" Luke asked once he had come too.

"It seems we landed on a ledge below the upper grounds we were fighting on" Jade explained,

"Its a good thing this ledge was here" Guy commented,

"So the God- Generals..." Anise meekly sounded standing on the edge looking down into the dark and cold abyss below.

"Best not stand so close, Anise" Ion advised, his young guardian putting his hand on her left shoulder bringing her back closer to where it was safe.

"Ion..."

"Hey Ion! look its the door!" Luke sounded as his green eyes came into view of the Daathic sealed door, the Fon master turned his head away from the small brown eyed girl and looked at the door with steady eyes.

He moved forward and raised his hands

"Ion! no! your still weak from the avalanche!" Anise tried to stop the boy

"It's okay Anise, I'll be alright!" he smiled gently with a slight blush, he returned to his work and unsealed the door. He fell to the ground in a thump

"Ion!"

"I'm alright! I'm sorry" he apologized

"Don't apologize Ion, you did your best!" Luke encouraged the weak boy,

"Thank you Luke, thank you Anise"


After they had unleashed the Absorption gate and commanded the Radiation Gate to release its memory particles into the planet storm, they returned to Keterburg and it was there they split up and thought of recent things.

'Arietta...I'm sorry...you must have been so scared' Anise's tears continued to flow from her eyes and down her face,

"First Sync and now you..." she had already lost one close friend! why did she have to lose another?! the teenager's fists clenched in anger, if only Sync didn't have his amazing Fonic Artes and Arietta didn't have the ability to speak with creatures, even Anise herself! if she didn't have the power of puppetry then maybe...just maybe they could have lived normal lives...together. They could have remained friends for much longer than just a few years.

She and Sync had been friends since she could remember, but Arietta...she had just met a day before both Sync and Arietta were taken into the Oracle Knights. While she was left behind, for her powers hadn't come yet.

"I'm so sorry Sync, Arietta...I'm the worst friend ever huh?" she gave herself a humorless smile as her tears left frozen streaks down her lightly tanned skin.

"Anise?" a gentle voice sounded from behind,

"Ion?! what are you doing here? your suppose to be resting in the hotel!" she quickly scolded the green eyed boy with her hands on her waist. Her strong façade up once more.

"You were crying weren't you?" he asked ignoring her question and demand

"N..no I wasn't!"

"It was about Arietta, wasn't it?" he said as gently as he could, knowing the small girl looked as if she were about to brake,

"She...she was my friend and...I killed her...I killed both Sync and Arietta!!" her tears showed themselves once more

"Anise..." he made his way close to her and in a soft moment he embraced her. Brown eyes widened at the boys action and her tears stopped, as did her hiccups

"I won't say don't cry Anise, but I know you... your a strong girl you'll get through this" he looked down at her with his soft green eyes.

"Ion...I can't! I'm not as strong as you think of me!" her face was tomato red of tears and embarrassment so she lower her forehead and laid it on his chest

"I don't want to hurt anymore of my friend!"

"You won't have to Anise" she looked up at him

"You have me" he blushed but smiled none the less,

"Oh Ion...thank you" and Anise finally smiled, as she returned the hug. She never wanted to let go.

'Arietta loved you Ion...but she never got to tell you, so I'll be here in her place... you won't mind right, Arietta?'
