Chapter 4 Crystal

Oceana stood by the window in the attic watching the other children shuffle uncomfortably. "Sillies!" She plopped down on a dusty chair and picked up her stuffed animal (a cat), Crissy, she looked down at it "They're surprised aren't they? No one expects me to stick out!" Oceana hadn't really talked much to anyone the way she just had with Itachi since before the incident. She hadn't talked to Crissy since that time either, and was a little surprised that she was.

Oceana knew very well that the cat was an inanimate object and wouldn't respond. She looked back out the window "And that Itachi boy, who does he think he is? Just because he's big doesn't mean he can pull something like that! Bully!"

She blinked "Hey… Seto… he's not there anymore…" She looked up at the spider infested ceiling. Spider had once scared the crap out of her, she didn't mind them now, now she loved them. "Maybe he finally got enough sense to stay in bed 'cuzz he's still sick…"

"Sorry." Oceana jumped having not noticed anyone enter the room "Not enough sense for that yet." She turned around to see Seto grinning at her "You shouldn't talk to your toys like that you know."

Oceana laughed. Laughed! She hadn't done that in far too long. "Seto!" the boy kept grinning. "What are you doing here? Most kids think it's haunted. No, never mind. You're not that stupid. Magic and ghosts are just myths!" Seto had to force his smile now to keep from showing that he'd been trying not to accept that reality for quite some time. Oceana caught it anyway and laughed again.

Seto stopped trying to hide his disappointment and kicked at some dust "I wanted to ride a dragon!"

Oceana just shook her head "You're really great Seto (if not a little naïve) I haven't felt happy in so long… Not since…" Oceana's eyes watered and she averted her gaze, choosing to stare out the ground "not since Crystal…"

"Who is Crystal?"

Seto had only asked out of curiosity, the reaction was greater than he expected. Oceana let out a wail of despair and buried her now tear drenched face in to Seto's shoulder. "It's not fair! How could she leave me? HOW?"

"You're mother…? Or…" Seto was at a loss now. He had no idea what was upsetting his new friend. Oceana sobbed as rain started falling on the roof of the orphanage. Seto took note that the rain was louder in the attic than downstairs.

"Oceana… who's Crystal?" Oceana was quite for a minute (minus the sobbing) if she'd heard him she was showing know sign of it. It hurt Seto to see anyone like that. Finally…

"Crystal… my sister…" Oceana held tightly to Seto. He felt a little sick at that thought. Had Crystal abandon Oceana? NO wonder she'd been so gloomy when he first saw her. He didn't know what he'd do with out Mokuba… Was Crystal older… or was Oceana older?

"Why did she-" Oceana started talking as if Seto actually had been silent "My parents died in a car accident… They flew of a cliff… I saw it… I SAW IT! And Crystal… Oh Crystal… she was already out of college… She said she'd take care of me but… but…"

"She didn't, did she?" Oceana shook her head vigorously "That night there was a jail break… Crystal was one of those justice people. She stood in the way of one of the criminals… They shot her…"

Seto didn't know what to say. Oceana had clearly loved Crystal. To loose someone like that…

Author's note: SORRY! I planed on making this chapter longer but there's nothing of real interest for about half a year so… that's all in this chapter… sorry. What did you think? It's kind of sad but now you know why Oceana was so depressed when Seto first saw her.

A little background info on Ocean's origan goes like this. When I was about eight years old I made up a sailor moon character, she had no name, no personality, and no background. She was drawn on a piece of papertowel I'd taped to a chuck of cardboard. Slowly she developed a background, personality, stopped being related to sailor moon, and was named Senna, this has been her name to this very day (you're probably wonder how this has anything to do with Oceana, just wait a sec) She appears in almost every story I write.

When I did a different fanfic that I probably wont post on this site called 'Double Darkness' there was a character named Senna in that story, but she didn't have all of the original Senna's qualities. I took all the things about the original Senna that the new Senna didn't have, Singing talent, background and so on, and made Oceana, the only difference between Oceana and the original Senna is that the original Senna can use magic and her sister wasn't killed by a jail break person, she was killed by a villain from Zelda. And Oceana's a blond with blue eyes but Senna's a burnet with (guess what) silver eyes.

Anyway… Congratulations to prettycaty for being the first one to review this fanfic.

( OO; this note was way longer than I wanted it to be…)
