Day 4
Luna was the one to wake me up this morning. I thanked her and got Serena up. I was still a little shaken from what I had dreamed but I didn't say anything to anyone. I just smiled and got ready for school. My excitement had turned into nerves. I was a bit worried about how people were gonna treat me. Mom had said that it was nothing to worry about that it would be fine.
Darien surprised us and came to take us to school. Serena was happy but Darien wasn't paying any attention to her. He was too busy staring at me in my school uniform. I was happy that the school allowed me to wear a mini instead of the knee length. The principle had said it was the first year they allowed them. I giggled bringing him back to his surroundings and got into his car. Serena fussed because I got to sit in the front seat. Darien just told her it was because when I got out of the car everyone wouldn't see my panties when I got out of the car. For once I was happy that I didn't have crystals beyond my hips. The ones on my face drew enough attention.
We arrived and Serena took me to the main office. Everyone there was nice and they registered my classes. It seemed after all that I would be having classes with Serena. When they finished one of the secretaries took me to my class. I introduced myself as Serena's cousin from the States. They seemed to believe it, and I was relieved. No one even seemed to care that I looked different than them either. Classes went fine. Ms. Haruna was nice but stern. She gave Serena detention for sleeping in class.
When the bell rang for lunch everyone started to hover around me. Well, mainly the guys. Most of the girls just glared at me. They all wanted to know if I had a boyfriend and such. Luckily Lita came in and saved me. She had made extra lunch and offered to share with me. I was happy because I had left mine in Darien's car. Some of the other girls from my class joined us and asked me just about everything. Lita scared them away. Later Mina and Amy joined us.
Thats when I asked Amy if she knew anything about someone called "The Crimson". She asked me where I had heard it so I lied and told her that I saw it mentioned somewhere in a book I was reading. She didn't seem to believe me, and said I should have went to the Scout meeting yesterday. Apparently I had missed something. She said she had heard some of the monsters that had been attacking us had been telling the scouts that they would never be "The Crimson" and that none of them would ever be able to beat their leader. That only that person could beat him.
She said that Luna had told them that "The Crimson" was a legendary warrior from before the time of the Moon Kingdom. Supposedly the warrior was a female general who gave her life to destroy a silver haired monster. The man had destroyed the lands to the east. The warrior supposedly was the daughter of the king of that time but he never recognized her as such. The legend said that the girls mother had been a maid in the royal palace. Luna had also said that the ruling family of the Moon Kingdom had descended from the royal family of that time.
Lita stopped Amy for a moment to add something in. Lita said that from what Luna had said was that "The Crimson" earned her name because of her eyes, and that the traits of the royal family had been silver hair and red eyes. She also mentioned that the girl had been skilled in battle as well as magic. Something in my head said that it wasn't just legend but everything was still blurry. I thanked them for telling me and the bell sounded to go back to class.
Classes finished smoothly and I left to go home. Serena had detention so she had to stay behind, so me, Amy, Lita, and Mina joined Ray at a cafe. I finished my homework while the girls talked. Ray asked me how I like classes and all I could really tell her was that it was too easy and I would have liked for it to be more of a challenge. Amy laughed and told me she felt the same way. While we finished our drinks and waited on Serena, we talked some more about what Luna had told them yesterday.
Ray said that if the monsters were weary of the girl then, somehow she was alive and that they should try to find her. That maybe with the Scouts help they could destroy the man forever so he couldn't hurt anyone else. The girls agreed but they didn't know where to start looking. I had gotten bored with it and started looking around the place. What I saw shocked. There I saw him, it was the blond that I remember seeing. I shook my head and looked again, he was still there. It couldn't have been him. It was just a dream. IT had to be. Serena walked in and I got up and walked over to the man and set down. The girls just stared and watched. Serena had said something but I wasn't listening.
I stared at him for a few minutes before he said anything. It was like looking at ghost. He smiled at me and was the first to speak, but it took me a minute to realize he had said anything. So I asked him again. "Hisoka?" I asked and he nodded. He asked me how it was going bringing my warrior back to me. It didn't understand so I asked him what he meant. He seemed shocked. He said no one had told him that I would loose my memories. I still didn't understand and I told him so.
He just smiled and held his had out to me. He said that it was time I remembered who I was. I nervously took his and everything changed. I saw flashes of everything, and I remembered everything from my past. Darien was my warrior, and this man was my let hand. But how could it be? Everything that happened was such a long time. He was different though. He was stronger. I asked him abut it and he said that my magic teacher had made it where every generation my warrior and my right hand would be reborn in case that the silver haired man ever came back.
He also said that Darien had lost his memories of the past. That it happened when the Moon Kingdom fell. That was why I had to find a way to make him love me again. I told him about what had happened before I woke up, about how I had 30 days to do it. I still didn't know who brought me back. He had no clue either. He just said he was happy to have me back. I didn't ask what had happened after I died back then. To me it didn't seem right to ask, and he didn't offer to tell me. I asked him if the silver haired man was back and he nodded, looking grave.
I told him about the scouts. He seemed interested when I told him that they wanted to help. He said they would be of help and that he wanted to meet them. I smiled at this and told him how I already knew them and that how I was living with Serena. I also told him how Darien was Serena's boyfriend and what had happened between us. He ran a hand over one of the crystals one my face and told me that if he did that only after just meeting me then his memory had to be coming back. Just when he had moved his hand back Darien had walked in. They must be having a meeting I thought to myself, but Darien ignored the girls and came to walk over to me and et down beside me.
I could see the look on Serena's face. She looked hurt and walked over to us. Darien said hello and I introduced her to my friend. Hisoka told Serena that he had something urgent that Darien needed to hear and rushed her off. Darien apologized and hugged her before he told her that he needed to talk and sent her back to the girls. She still looked hurt and glared at me before leaving. Hisoka smiled when he saw Darien grab my hand. "How long are you gonna hide it from that girl" he asked Darien. "I love her" he told him, "I can't help how I feel, but I also love Ruby. I don't know what to do." I fel bad. I didn't know what to do. He did love me but he loved her more. So I was just gonna fade away.
I told Darien not to touch me. That if he couldn't love me fully like he used to then I'd rather fade away. So I ran. I didn't know where I was going, but I ended up in a park. I set down on a swing and I cried. No one was there anyways so it didn't matter. I really didn't want to fade away. I knew who I was now only to find out that my warrior loved someone else. That he was destined to be with her. From what she had to say. Things went a lot deeper than the stupid Moon Kingdom. Since the silver haired man was back then things were just gonna get worse. I wasn't sure that I wanted to help Serena anymore. She had taken something from me that I once cared so deeply for. Why was I brought back anyways?
It had started raining but I didn't care. I just wanted to set here, and it was starting to get dark. "You know that he's out looking for you. So are those girls." Hisoka said from behind me. I told him I didn't want to be found and asked him how he found me so easily.
"I've gotten stronger. After you passed I went to your teacher and begged him to teach me. He refused at first and I told him how you had been teaching me, and after that he took me right in. My magics have just gotten stronger through all these generations. I remember everything from my past lives. Teacher said that he could still feel you that your body might have been gone but your mind and magics weren't. That you were just sleeping. I never said anything to your warrior. He wasn't called Darien back then. I don't what happened. Before he was born into the Earth Kingdom he waited for you. We were still friends then." Hisoka said setting on the swing next to me.
I told him that he would choose Serena, that I would fade, that I would fight the silver haired man and I would go back to sleep. He told me that there should be some other way and that I shouldn't have to fade. I'd been sleeping enough from his opinion. I smiled at him. I guess he was right, but I knew I couldn't make Darien love me. He even said it. So now I had 26 days to figure something else out. Hisoka said he would help. He said somewhere between our magics we should be able to work something out where I wouldn't fade away. If only I could find teacher. I thought then. He would know what to do.
Hisoka took me to his house for the night. I called mom and told her I was ok and that I was spending the night with a friend. She said that it was fine and that she would tell Serena when she got home, and that Serena had taken my stuff home before she left to look for me. I felt bad for just running away. I wished mom a good night before I hung the phone up.
I walked into Hisoka's living room and he said that I should get out of my wet clothe and get into something else. He brought me some clothes and put my wet ones in the washer. We ate a small dinner. I just wasn't hungry. He told me that he was enrolling at my school and tomorrow he also be in my class. I was happy I was going to have him there.
That night he gave me the bed and he slept on the couch. I told him it was ok that we shared it and that there was enough room but he insisted he take the couch. I didn't sleep well that night.
