Distant visions

As always, the characters belong to their creators and not to me...regretfully...
My mouth is dry
Forgot how to cry
What's up with that?
You're hurting me.
I'm running fast
Can't hide the past
What's up with that?
You're pushing me. ~ Natilie Imbruglia

The small group set out on their journey. Miaka stayed in the back with Nuriko, giving small glares at Myst's back. Tamahome and Chiriko walked with Myst in the front, one of Tamahome's arms around her waist.
" So, Miaka, where now?" Tamahome turned to face her, and her gaze rose.
" I...I'm not sure..." She took out the universe of the four gods and glanced at it curiously. " Something about a mountain..." Tamaome stepped back to her, leaning over the scroll. His head was so close to hers...their lips close enough to touch...Miaka blushed, slowly sliding one hand to Tamahome's...casually.
" You're right, Miaka." He began to read. " 'Heat is stored, boiling deep in the heart of mountains'"
Nuriko blinked. " well, there's two mountains around here...Mount Taikiyoku and Mount Reikaku..." Myst turned, walking backwards, her hands clasped behind her back.
" I'd say Reikaku. Mount Taikiyoku is greener. Mount Reikaku is more barren..." another blink. " And I think there's some sort of bandit group up there...we may find a warrior among them." She gave a smile, tilting her head a bit at Tamahome, Miaka, and Nuriko. Chiriko stepped beside Myst, patting her head.
" That's true. I say that's our plan." Myst smiled proudly, Chiriko's hand still atop her head. Tamahome glanced at the two, his eyebrows knitting together. Myst noticed this, blinking her eyes innocently.
" Myst-chan...can I talk to you..." He stepped away from Miaka, walking over to Myst.
" Sure, Tama..." She shuffled her feet, as he waved the others on ahead, holding one of her hands. " Something wrong?" She smiled, as he took her other hand.
" Myst...you've been spending so much time with Chiriko lately...I...feel...kinda left out...." He blushed. " Maybe I'm just over jealous, but..."
Myst shook her head. " It's alright. Really. Chiriko's just...someone I can relate to. There's nothing going on..." Tamahome sighed, embracing her.
" I know...I'm sorry I thought differently...I've never been...in a relationship before...." Myst blushed as well.
" I...haven't either..." Another shake of her head. " let's catch up with the others....I don't wanna..." She was about to finish her sentence, yet was unable to as two rather large stones fell on each of their heads, knocking them both unconsious.
~~~~~~~
A light was shined, and Tamahome arose. His head gave a dull throb, and he muttered softly. He tried to rub the sore spot on his head, but found his arms tied behind him.
" N-Nani...Myst-chan...?!" He glanced behind him, where Myst lay on her back, her arms tied behind her. Pain was still evident on her features. After a bit of hopping, Tamahome made his way to her side, kneeling down.
" Myst-chan..." Another glance around found Chiriko, Nuriko, and Miaka unconsious as well. A bit of blood trickled down his forhead, and he muttered again.
Footsteps were soon heard nearing the room. Tamahome's gaze turned to the door, sitting in front of Myst protectively. The door opened, and a blue haired bandit stepped in. It was at this time, Nuriuko and Chiriko decided to wake up.
" We're supposed to choose one of you that we think'll spark the boss's intrest, if ya know what I'm sayin'." A smirk, and Tamahome glared. The bandit's gaze went to Miaka. " Hey, that's a cute one..." he blinked, as Nuriko and Chiriko hopped in front of her. "protective, Ain't cha?"
" You bastard..." Tamahome cursed from where he sat. The bandit took a step over to him, but before saying anything, glanced at Myst.
" Better still..."
Tamahome blinked, dumbfounded for a second, before he saw what the bandit ws gazing at. " you touch her, I kill you." His gaze turned into a glare.
" oh, don't worry. I have no intentions of touching her." He gave a clap of his hands, more of the bandits entering. Tamahome blinked, as he washeld back, others picking Myst up, and carrying her off. He struffled against the grip behind him, yet it didn't seem to help.
" Myst-chan!!!" And she was gone, with a push, the bandits released Tamahome, the door to their 'cell' closing.
~~~~~~~
* She arrived back home, to nothing but a barren waistland. The village was in utter ruins, red embers still glowing softly. She dropped the basket she had in her arms, and ran to her house. She blinked, as it still stood, seemingly unharmed.
"papa.....mama...Kinosai..." Her small voice rang out softly, echoing in the halls. The silence was unbearable...where was everybody? She found herself wandering into the kitchen, where she blinked.
" Kinosai!!" Her brother lay against the far wall, clutching at his side. She ran over to him, and hugged his arm, tears spilling down her face. " Kinosai, I was so worried! I thought somethin happened..." A blink" Kinosai....d-daijobu....?"
" Myst-chan..." He lifted his hand from his side...and revealed a deep gash, blood making it's way down his side, spilling into a little pool behind him. " Myst-chan...I'm so sorry...."
Myst blinked, her four year old mind unable to comprehend. " you're hurt, Kinosai..."
Kinosai took no heed, shaking his head. " I'm sorry...I couldn't save them...."
" Couldn't save who...Kinosai...what're you talkin about....?...Kinosai...?!" Her eyes widened a bit as her brother crumpled over, a low scream emmitted from his lips.A long pause, and he sat up again...looked behind Myst's shoulder....and glared.
" you need a bandage...." She was dragged behind her brother, and he stood in front of her protectively. A man had entered the room, wearing a long black cape, a smirk on his features.
" Wow, you're good at this game....it took me a while to find you again...." Kinosai's eyes clentched shut, blue tassles concealing his eyes.
" Myst-chan...stay behind me..." He took a fighting stance, hand on his blade's hilt.The man at the door way seemed unfazed, his smirk remaining, saying nothing. He took a step forward....then another....
Kinosai leapt, roundhousing the man, before using his chest to leap back to his sister. The mans head jerked to the side, and he rubbed his jaw. " Still got some energy in ya, eh?" He pulled out a sword, charging for Kinosai. Kinosai picked Myst up, and jumped away, rolling, the blade slicing his shoulder.
" Shimatta..." He muttered softly, sitting back up. Myst sat behind him, gazing at his now injured shoulder...And she froze...there was so much blood everywhere...what was happening....
He stood, getting in another stance, and leaping at the man. But the man awoided his foot by a fraction and...plunged his sword in his back. Kinosai let out a dull cry, as he fell to the floo, wincing violently.
" Kinosai....!!" She tried to run over to him, but found herself grabbed by the man...
" oyasumi, little girl..." He brought his blade above her head and...*
~~~~~~~
Myst sat up weakly, gazing up. Her vision was blurry, and all she could make out were outlines....she was lying down, a cloth was pressed to her head. Her vision returnmed slowly, and....She gagged.
Some fat ugly guy with a rather large nose was lying over his, breathing his rancid breath over her face.
" Finally awake, are ya?" she tilted her head to the side, whimpering a bit.Her head really hurt.
" Good...now we can play..."

" And we'll just have a little fun until then..." Genrou brought his to hers, and kissed her. Myst blinked, widening her eyes a bit, before glaring, and kicking him in a not so nice place. Genrou's eyes flickered for a secong, before he fell to his side, clutching himself.
" Sh...Shimatta...." His face was a lovely shade of red.
" Do that again, and I'll kill you. Slowly and painfully." She stood, brushing off her arms, and glancing around the small building....until there was a knock at the door.
" Who's there? It's me, Kouji. OH, Kouji! come right on in! Mmmkay!" And with that, Kouji did just that...and blinked...."Hey Genrou...what're doin...? Looks like you got kicked in the pills er sumthin'..."
