Thoughts

Other stuff (I'll think of something

Analee's father looked at her and said, "If you come back the way you did last time, I'll go and choke the life out of that Akito person." Then he hugged her.

"I really regret making that portal, even more when you came back, after he did what he did to you."

Analee's father was a witch and scientist of a sort. About a year ago he created this portal that allowed someone to go back a certain number of years and live there for a while. Since Rick (Analee's father) had this knowledge he would help people that were different. Analee started helping her father about a year ago. Now she was 15.

"I know dad, but these people they are like a family to me too, and I've left them for 7 years. I have to go back," Analee explained to her father.

"Ok sweetheart, I know you'll go even if I say no," replied Rick regretfully.

4 hours and a ton of packing later

Analee was outside of Shigure's house and was trying to think of a way to explain everything. What am I going to do? He probably thinks I'm dead not to mention I haven't aged in about 7 years. What to do? What to do?

Finally Analee just decided to let things play out the way they would and rung the door bell. A young man with orange hair that looked about her age answered the door.

Analee stared transfixed. Was this the little boy that was like a son if not a little brother to her? He had grown into a very handsome and it seemed confident young man.

"Kyo? Oh! Silly me you probably don't remember me I'm a friend of Shigure's. This is his house right?" she said while remembering that no one would remember her.

Kyo just looked at her then tackled her yelling, "Analee!" He wouldn't let her go and just sat there hugging her.

"Kyo, I love you too but I need oxygen. Must breathe to survive next few minutes," Analee gasped. Kyo slowly let her go and looked at her right.

"Why haven't you aged Analee? Where have you been? We thought you were dead you know," said the cat so fast.

"I'm sorry Kyo, but I had to go away. I was really hurt," replied Analee sadly. Kyo just looked at her and hugged her again softer this time.

"Please don't leave again, Analee," Kyo pleaded is mother-sister figure.

"Don't worry I'm here to stay. I'm stronger, wiser, and taller," she said playfully. While getting up only to see that Kyo was about and inch taller than her.

"I don't know about taller Analee, you look kinda short to me," said Kyo, while trying to keep from laughing out loud.

"Kitten, why don't you just be quiet? If I remember right you used to cry because Haru was taller than you," she stated.

"Let's go say hi to Shigure," said Kyo a little quickly. Analee just laughed then thought of an idea. While Kyo had his back turned she jumped on him and said, "Mush!"

"What do you mean 'Mush' I ain't going no where," Kyo said defiantly.

"Oh yeah well I'm not getting off until you carry me to Shigure."

"….Get off! Come on Analee."

"Nope, Mr. Pussycat, I am not getting off, until I'm in front of Shigure. Now Mush!"

"Whatever"

After their slow decent to Shigure's office, since Kyo wanted to get back at Analee.

"Gosh Kyo think you can go any slower? I swear my grandma can walk faster."

"Want to get down and walk?"

"No, that's ok."

Shigure couldn't believe the voice he thought he would never hear again. He looked up and saw Kyo deposit a girl who looked about 15, with brown hair, piercing green eyes, and this smile that made you want her to smile forever.

"Hey Shigure," said Analee

Shigure simply looked at her and said, "Analee? Is that really you?" Then he jumped up and hugged her in a literally breathe taking hug.

"Must breathe, Kyo help me," she gasped out yet again.

"Sorry Analee, I just can't believe it's you. I haven't seen you in years. We all wondered what happened to you when you disappeared, those of us that could remember. Which reminds me I need to call Aya and Tori," Shigure said all in one breath.
