~~~~~~~? POV ~~~~~~~

I grope through the darkness trying to find something, anything that would tell me where I was. But there was nothing. All I wanted was to be free from this darkness and to know who I was. Was that to much to ask.

All I wanted to do was cry when a light appeared and a hand grab mine, pulling me out of the darkness.

My eyes open slowly and take in my surroundings. I was propped up in a soft bed in a white room. The room was empty, with nothing other than the bed I lay in.

I felt something warm encasing my hand, and I looked down to see another hand holding mine. I traced the hand back to a boy sleeping beside my bed. The boy had long green hair that slightly covered his faced. I stare quiescently at his sleeping face. * who was this boy? why's he here beside me?* I ask myself as I reach my free hand towards his sleeping form. before I could touch him he starts to stir and lets out a contempt sigh as if he had just woken up from a good dream, and his eyes flutter open. I gasp pulling my hand away from his my gasp he looks up and a smile spreads across.

" Your awake!" he exclaims. jumping to his feet in an instant and grabbing my hand that I had pulled away. I let out a little scream and pushed him away from me. The smile vanished from his face and is replaced with concern.

" Are you OK?! what wrong?" the boy asks. Before I could answer the door opens and a man walks through. His hair was Long and green, much like the little boy standing beside me. He wore a robe which was draped across his shoulders and was very tall. When he spoke his voice a calm voice that you couldn't help obeying.

" She's just scared Natural. wouldn't you be if you woke up in a strange placed. give her a little space to calm down." the man says to the green haired boy who must of been Natural. Natural leapt from his position next to me and threw himself at the man.

" Daddy your back!" he exclaims excitedly. Suddenly a image of a man reaching towards me then dissipating into a ball of flames filled my mind. I let out a scream and clutch my head. I curl into a ball and cry spontaneously.

" No, go away, go away!" I cry rocking back and forth. Natural stopped hugging his dad and walked over to me curled on the bed. He hesitantly strokes my hair, in an honest attempted to calm me down.

" Don't cry girly. I'm not going to hurt you." He said gently. After a couple of minutes I calm down enough and his father walks over and kneel beside me next to Natural who had stopped stroking my hair.

" My name is Ghetsis and this is my son Natural," The man says before Natural interjects." You can call me N!" He says. N's father rolls his eyes at his son and continues. " I found you outside and you had a very high fever. Can you tell me what your name is?" Ghetsis questions me.

"I-I-I don't know. I don't know what my name is." I say softly as I unwrap my arms from around my knees.

" How old are you then?" Ghetsis asks.

" I'm 5 years old, I think." I reply back to him.

" well came you tell us why you were outside in the rain?" Ghetsis asked instead this time. without warning the image pops back into my head and this time I knew what it meant.

" Mommy and Daddy are dead." I whisper staring down at me knees. The man seemed taken aback by my answer. Ghetsis opened his mouth to ask me another Question but quickly closed it. N spoke instead.

" My mommy's dead to." he says sadly." Don't be sad girly." My eyes open wide as I stare at the boy in amazement. My amazement soon turned into happiness and I smile at him, and he smiles back.

" Say, girly... since you don't have a mommy or daddy you can share my daddy if you like!" N says.

" N-N-Natural!" ghetsis exclaims. N tugs on his father's robe eagerly.

" please daddy, pretty please! I always wanted a little sister." N begs eagerly constantly jumping up and down like a rabbit. I giggle spontaneously, I felt like I had always wanted a big brother. Ghetsis look from me to his son and back again and his face breaks into a grin.

" I don't see why not." He says smiling warmly at his son. " But, I have one condition. "

" what is that?' I ask him confused.

" we have to find you a name." Before I could react to the statement N was already back at my side staring into my face intensly. I shrank back afraid of his piercing gaze and squeezed my eyes closed.

" Hikari." N says into my ear.

" What." I say opening my eyes in surprise.

" Your name is going to be Hikari because you eyes are shining like beams of light in the darkness." N says turning away from me. I was left speechless.

" Arigato!" I yell throwing my arms around his neck. " Thank you big brother, I love it!" I let out a string of giggles as I hugged him. after a moment he joined in my laughing fit.

It was at that moment that I knew that everything was going to be ok.
