Part A

I hoisted my medical supplies over my shoulder and made my way back out to the caravans. They had already set up camp. I stood at the edge of the gypsy's world, looking for Gestan.

"Lost," A voice whispered into my ear. I jumped and turned around to see Gestan. I could see the laughter in his eyes.

"A bit," I admitted. Gestan grabbed my hand and led me into the center of the camp, near the fire.

"We've got someone who may be able to help us. Anyone sick please get in a line." Gestan shouted out orders. He bowed to me and left. A line of people gathered. First up was a woman. She was pregnant and was panting. I gave her some pain herbs and checked the baby's position. Next was a child with a stomach ache. I balance the kid on my knee as I dug in my bag for some more herbs. I gave him the medicine and sent him on his way as I went onto the next patient.

It took me a few hours to get through the patients. I started to clean up when a woman with blonde hair tied up and in a beautiful gypsy dress approached me. She was twisting her skirt in her hands, looking anxious.

"Would you please look at Gestan? He got hurt yesterday on our way here." I nodded.

"That is what I am here for."

She led me to a large tent. It was dark when I walk in. I found Gestan sitting in a chair, pouring over a map. He looked up when I cleared my throat. He gave me a smile as he saw me.

"I've been informed that you are in need of medical attention." Gestan sighed, staring out of the door.

"I'm fine…" He tried to get out of it. I shook my head and walked closer to him.

"What happened?"

"It was just a small wound to my shoulder…"

"Take off your shirt." He smiled and tore off his shirt revealing a well toned chest. I didn't even stop to admire it though. I worked with ninja. He seemed a bit disappointed but I put my hand up to the deep wound on his shoulder. It needed stitches and was reopening.

"You could join us you know." I started to clean his wound.

"Really and what would I do as a gypsy?" I mused at the idea, cleaning his wound.

"Well, you could be my wife." I stopped, pressing hard on his wound. I could join him and I would be protected. I would not have to go home to my father and I would be safe. I flushed as Kakashi popped into my head though.

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't marry you… there's someone else." I finished wrapping the wound and Gestan turned to me. He took my hands.

"Another?" He searched my eyes. I nodded and he leaned back. "Tell me about him."

"Well, he is a comrade of mine. He is handsome and nice, quick to smile." Gestan smiled at me as I gushed. I gasped, realizing what I had said. "Please don't tell!"

"Don't tell what?" Kakashi walked in, looking angry as he stared at Gestan who was without a shirt. "Am I interrupting something?" He snapped. It was just my luck that he would walk in.

"It's not what it looks like." Gestan tried to explain. Kakashi looked taken aback. He looked to me and I nodded in agreement. Gestan turned back to me.

"As repayment for your medical services I wish for you to visit Grandmother Jerome." I raised one eyebrow and then turned to look at Kakashi who was still eyeing Gestan suspiciously.

I gave in and went with Gestan to see Grandmother Jerome. I dunked underneath the opening of a tent and walked in. There was an old woman in the corner. She was blind. Gestan sat and motioned for me and Kakashi to join him.

"Jerome, please look at these two." Grandmother Jerome tilted her head to the side. She seemed to know who we where.

"You boy, give me your hand." Kakashi stretched out his palm. Grandmother Jerome traced it and put it down. She frowned. "You have a sad future. Now you girl," I was shocked that she knew I was a girl. I struggled with give in to her or not before I finally stretched out my hand to her. Everything faded into darkness. I couldn't move or speak. I was stuck and I could only watch a girl.

It was a world of sadness. Kneeling down in the center was a girl. Her long brown hair fanned around her. Her hands were open wide as she brought people closer to her and her large white wings saved them. She started to cry with pain at every person she brought into her arms. Her wings began to rip apart slowly and painfully. She gave one finally cry, screaming as her wings ripped fully as one last person came to her. The bloodied feathers floated around as tears slid down her face before she started to fall, dying to the ground.

Grandmother's Jerome's wails filled me as I fell to the ground, shaken. Kakashi pulled me into his arms as I leaned into him, burying my face in his shirt. Jerome continued to cry.

"You poor child…" She wept. What had she seen? Did she see the same thing I had? I buried my face further into Kakashi's shirt, scared of what I had witnessed. "You poor, poor child…"She wept on.

Part B

I wasn't stalking Tenshi. I found myself following her into the gypsy camp though.

"What are you doing?" I whispered as I clung to the shadows. Tenshi was looking lost but I found that a tall man walked up to her and whispered in her ear. She giggled and he grabbed her hand to lead her away. I jogged closer to Tenshi and this mysterious man. I made sure to hide in the shadow of a caravan so she wouldn't see me.

"We've got someone who may be able to help us. Anyone sick please get in a line." I watched as Tenshi worked with the people who gathered before her. She was patient with everyone and turned no one away.

Tenshi got up and stretched as one final woman approached her. They spoke in hushed tones before Tenshi was led away by the shy woman. I followed them, hanging in the shadows. I was lost when a group of children came to see who I was and tried to get into my pockets. I fished out a few treats and sent the children away so that I could get into the tent that Tenshi had disappeared into. I waited outside for a moment. What if I walked in and she was doing something? What would she say when she saw me? What if they where kissing?" I swallowed down my fear and walked in.

"Please don't tell!" I looked at Tenshi as I walked in.

"Don't tell what?" My heart skipped a beat as Tenshi flushed. I grew angry as I saw Tenshi's hand in the shirtless man's. I glared at them. How could she be dating an older man? How could she be here with him all by herself? "Am I interrupting something?" I snapped, my heart breaking in half and jealous eating away at me.

"It's not what it looks like." I was taken aback. It was not like I was dating her. I had expected them to come out and admit it. I looked to Tenshi for the truth and found it in her eyes. They where not dating. The man removed his hands from Tenshi's

"As repayment for your medical services I wish for you to visit Grandmother Jerome." Tenshi turned to look at me as if asking for my approval to go.

I walked with Tenshi to this Grandmother Jerome's tent. Tenshi ducked underneath the curtain that led into the tent. I followed suit and was almost suffocated by the candles that burnt all around. The tent was heavily perfumed. I looked around and spied the old woman. She didn't look exactly at us. She was blind. The man sat down and motioned for us to follow suit. I sat next to Tenshi.

"Jerome, please look at these two." The man said.

"You boy, give me your hand." I quickly handed her my hand and she grabbed it. I didn't even know she knew I was in the tent, let alone that I was a guy. Her cold fingers traced the lines on my hands, tickling them. I watched as her face fell. "Sadness is soon to come." She said sadly. "Now you girl," Jerome said.

Tenshi struggled for a moment but then gave her hand to Jerome. I watched as their hands met. Something stopped around. They were both frozen. I grabbed Tenshi's shoulder and tried to pull her back. The man was trying to pull at Jerome. I yelled and pulled harder. The man yelled and fell back, his hands had been burned. I dropped her as my hands began to burn. Tenshi's eyes were wide as if she was afraid and tears slid down Grandma Jerome's old wrinkled face. Something was happening and I needed to protect Tenshi.

Jerome started to cry and a wave let loose. Her cries filled the tent as she threw her hand back. Tenshi fell backwards and I pulled her into the safety of my arms. She leaned into my chest, panting. I put my face in her hair as I rubbed her back. She was terrified and had the chills.

"Gestan, this child, you poor child…" Jerome wept. What had she seen? I wondered as Tenshi buried her terrified face in my shirt. "You poor, poor child…" I gazed down at Tenshi. What did the future hold for her?
