Me: That last chapter was unbeileveable, right?

Yuka: N-no way...

Rylan: She's been that for...days.

Yuan: (Sighs) Get over it, Yuka.

Yuka: How can you say that! How long have I been gone? How old am I?

Yuan: I can answer the second question...

Yuka: ...

Me: ...And he'll tell you during this chapter!

Yuka: Hey!

Chapter 4: Family...

Yuan answered over Yuka's sobs, "Yuka's my blood sister. In this world." He pushed her hair away and showed her pointy ears.

Xylon gasped, "What!"

Yuka sobbed quietly, "We were adopted. By a human and elf."

Yuan said something else, "Theron wanted Scarlett and Yuka, so we combinded our Mana and sent her to Earth so he couldn't get what he wanted. While she was transported, she apperantly lost her memories. About everything. The only thing she can do is hear her favorite song, bit by bit, and some of it may remind her of who she is."

Yuka broke apart from him, "Then how long have I been gone? Tell me!"

"...Think of this.

"Heaven's gates won't open up for me,

"With these broken wings, I'm fallin',

"And all I see is you.

"These city walls ain't got no love for me,

"I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story.

"And, oh, I scream for you.

"Come please, I'm callin'.

"And all I need from you...

"Hurry, I'm fallin'..."

Yuka listened to his words and she opened her closed eyes, "You're kidding."

"Nope."

"Please say you're joking."

"No."

"What?" Renne jumped in, "How long was she gone?"

Yuka closed her eyes and her head drooped, "Earth years: 19. Symphonian years: ...90 1/2."

Xylon was silent until his jaw dropped, "What!"

"Yeah. Me and Yuan are blood brother and sister, so...does that mean I was an angel even before I left?" Yuka turned to her brother.

"Yeah."

"What color were my wings?"

"Slate."

"Oh. I like blue better."

"You haven't changed."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I, uhh..."

"What's. That. Supposed. To. Mean?"

Scarlett snickered, "That sounds like something I told him."

"Yeah, I know." Yuka sighed.

Yuan was still pondering, "Umm..."

Rylan grinned, "Wow. Dad can't say anything."

"Heh..." Renne smiled.

Rylan turned to Yuka, "So..am I gonna start calling you 'aunt?'"

"No." Yuka answered immediatly, "That would feel way too weird right now."

"Right..." Renne let some bangs fall over her eyes to keep from laughing.

Noishe began barking at something, very loudly: "Bark! Bark! Howwwl!"

Yuan snapped his head up, "Noishe?"

Renne walked to the doorway and peered out. Noishe was barking at something down the dark halls. "What is it, boy?"

"Bark! Bark! Barrkkk! HOWL!"

"Noishe? What are you?..." Renne walked out the door and said, "I'm gonna go see if there's something down there."

Yuan hesitated, but nodded, "Be careful."

Yuka stood up and whispered, "I'll go with her."

"Careful." Yuan repeated again.

"We will." Renne smiled.

"Well, let's go." Yuka and Renne departed and they began to walk down the halls in the darkness.

They were walking for a couple minutes, Noishe following, a deep, low growl in his throat. Yuka heard something that sounded weird and told Renne, "Stop walking for a moment."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

Just as Yuka thought; she'd heard another pair of feet stop in front of them. "What is it?" Renne whispered.

Yuka waited a minute before answering her. The person obviously noticed that Yuka knew he/she was there, and she drew her lance, whispering, "Renne, go back and tell your dad that there's an intruder."

The person started running, and slowly, without a fight, Renne started running back to her father. Yuka had and idea and drew her wings for light. It only lit up four feet in front of her. The person stopped moving. "Who's there!" Yuka demanded.

All she got was silence. She heard the person breathing slowly. Then, he/she stepped into the light.

It was a man with black spiked hair and orange eyes. He had a scythe in his hand and wore a black shirt with a pair of gray pants that had buckles covering it.

Yuka thought a moment before snarling, "Theron! What do you want here!"

Theron stared blanky ahead before slowly walking forward, putting Yuka up on her guard. She grasped her lance tightly, because if he made one false move, she'd strike him.

Theron chuckled, "I'm not here to fight. I'm here to see you."

"What?..." Yuka breathed.

Me: Oooohhhhh...O.O

Yuka: What the ---- does he wanna see me for!

Me: You shall see.

Theron: Muhahahaha! I am going to-

Me: (Slaps him to Pluto, which doesn't exist in our solar system anymore...) IDIOT!

Zelos: Wow. I thought Sheena was bad.

Sheena: Hey, you're right! (Slaps him beyond Pluto)

Me: Hey, after they all reveiw, I need to ask Zelos when he gets back what else is out there...BTW, I know today is the 9/11 date, so I send my sympathies to tohse of you who lost loved ones and friends.
