Hello everyone... I'm getting very tired of writing this story so...well not like me.so I'm changing my style a bit.

Chapter 8. Replacements

So much to understand, and so little of it made sense. Yuki was worried. She had dragged not only her friends into the mess, no it was not only a mess, and it was a horrible thing that Kaede and Yuki should have never agreed into. The society. The new one, the good one. But what was good and what was bad? There wasn't a line of difference anymore? Maybe that's what they were trying to revive instead of living in the world of nothing.

The sky had tints of the sunset still. There was just a little of the once risen sun. And on the other side of the sky was the dark night ready to pounce. There they all were in the vacant lot. The four new people stood with a bright confidence.

"What do you mean Replacements?" Akako asked her fighting anger ignited. Akako had always hung around Temper filled guys. So she had naturally picked up on their quick temper.

Kaede looked up with large mysterious eyes. Her eyes held mixed emotions. There was excitement and nerves a lot of anticipation, but there was also pity.

Yuki looked at Kaede and then gave her a glare to explain.

Kaede smiled sadly.

"They've left, Ichigo, Gin, and Ryouta."

Akako shook her head in disbelief.

"That's not right, Ichigo, would never leave me, he promised!"

Kaede looked up again at the now dark sky.

"They didn't have a choice." Kaede had a light ghostly looking string dangling from one finger. The string disappeared suddenly as Kaede began to speak.

"Their destiny was decided."

Akako stared at Kaede her anger was building up with sadness, even Chiho was fuming.

"What do you mean decided? Nothing is ever decided! Ever! You can change everything Destiny doesn't exist." Chiho yelled failing her arms.

Akako glared at Yuki and Kaede.

"Stop it! Stop keeping secrets from us!"

Her eyes filled up with tears.

"Yuki we've been best friends for almost ever! And now this Witch Freak comes along, and everything changes?!"

Yuki glanced at Akako and Chiho, fury flickering in her eyes as well.

"Remember why we started training in the first place? It was to get Kichi back, Kichi remember her?!" Chiho also yelled.

It was as if Yuki had forgot, everything, everything that they went through together.

"Kichi wasn't taken by the E.C.I, She wasn't taken at all."

Akako and Chiho stared.

Yuki eyes were filling with tears.

"Kichi disappeared shortly after I came, do you remember why? It was after the fight, later that night she was summoned by the darkness."

Yuki looked down and muttered a curse under her breath.

"I tried to help her, but it was no use, so I was reposted here to help everyone here, Team Destiny."

Yuki cast them a sideways glance of determination.

"I am not going to let it happen again! I'm saving them whether your all in it or not!" Yuki ran off and gestured to Kaede to help them. The 'kin' boy ran after her, a misplaced glare covering his face, and his anger at them was apparent.

Kaede looked upset to, but she covered it up quickly.

"This isn't the first time this has happened to us; try thinking about it more next time." Kaede giggled a little. "We know yuki won't and I can't do so much of the thinking anymore, so I'm going to need your help from now on."

Kaede smiled widely.

"Now we've got to save them, everyone, and we've got to work together!"

Kaede picked up her staff, with a snap of her finger the staff changed into a lime green back pack. Kaede slung it over her shoulder, and nodded her head.

"Now are you with me."

Akako smirked back at her, and Chiho matched it.

"Of course!" Masahiko

Kaede began to leave with the tall blonde boy.

"I trust you all to introduce your selves, meet you back here later. TOOTLES!"

It was funny being up that late at night, but none of them were tired. It was pure adrenaline keeping them up.

It was awkward too; Akako and Chiho had no idea why they had agreed to introduce each other.

The first boy stepped up, he had been fighting with Akako before, but now he just looked annoyed. He had light blonde hair, spiked in several different directions. He looked very similar to the boy who left with Yuki including his stunning violet eyes. They looked almost like twins, except this one did not have the same sense of innocence.

"I'm Kisho; I'm a key bearer, and the son of the legendary two."

Akako rolled her eyes.

Then Kisho pointed to the other boy. His hair was short and dark, not spiked like Kisho's, but hanging in his eyes. His eyes were thick pools of teal which held mystery and a bit of sadness.

"That's Masahiko, but which juts call him Hiko, He is the son of the Prince of Sand, and he has quite a unique strength." "He doesn't talk much though he's too much of a sour!"

Hiko hit him on top of the head, making Kisho back away rubbing his head.

"The two who left, were Kin, and Jinsei. Kin is the red haired one he is also Kisho's twin, and Jinsei is the Strife's Son." Hiko smirked at Kisho, who instantly got what he meant.

"Jinsei is madly in love with Kaede, but we don't think Kaede knows yet, and my brother Kin has a gigantic crush and Yuki, and We think that Yuki has one on Kin too!"

Akako smiled at that thought, and Chiho erupted into giggles.

"I'm Akako, Family is kind of not known, and I'm apparently this Sword Bearer." Akako flipped a piece of red hair out of her face, and showed them her large sword."

Chiho was caught in mid thought before she began to exclaim her introduction. "I'm Chiho! I have no idea who my family is! And if you mean by bearer I can control this thingy."

Chiho held out her sword, which transformed into a sharp dagger with a big black ribbon on the handle.

"We're the rest of Team Destiny."

Kisho suddenly took his key blade, and swung it at Akako skimming her hair. Akako glared at him.

"Come on were sparring!"

Akako gave a small smile, and clashed blades with the others.

The next morning when Kaede, Yuki, and the others had arrived they were surprised at what they saw. Akako and Chiho were sitting on the ground eating a fruit filled breakfast, but Kisho and Hiko were both sleeping in certain chairs. Kisho was fast asleep in Akako's chair, while Hiko was in Chiho's.

Akako and Chiho ran up to Yuki.

"Hey."

There was an uncomfortable silence, before Yuki broke it.

"Look I don't know what to say, I don't know how to apologize for lying to you both you a long time."

Akako smiled, along with Chiho.

"Ah it's ok Blondie. You know we all have our days, especially you." Akako had Yuki in a headlock giving her a nuggy. Chiho was tickling her, and Yuki tried to push them away, because now she was laughing rather hard.

"No, Akako, Yuki doesn't have those days."

Yuki was muttering something like. "Stop... I can't stop laughing guys."

"You right Chiho, Yuki has months."

Yuki fell over laughing.

Kaede looked at all them, and smiled. It was then that they noticed that Jinsei had his arm tucked around her shoulders.

Kisho had woken up, and rubbed on eye sleepily, Hiko also was now awake. Kin went over by the two sitting in the chair by Akako's.

The twins exchanged looks, and then smiled.

"OOOOH JIN AND KAEDE SITTING IN A TREE KISSING." The two chanted

Jinsei and Kaede clumsily took two steps away from each other.

Yuki tried to stand up gracefully, but completely failed.

Kaede looked back and forth than smiled.

"We ready to go save everyone?"

Everyone walked over to the center, and determination circling they all smiled.

"READY!"

A bright white light emerged, and in a few secondeds sucked them all in.

"Hollow Bastion here we come!"

Man that was some serious stuff at the beginning now if anyone if actually reading it.

With the exception of Chiho, and Kaede (by the way where's Akako, she's liked ditched me.) Please still Review.

And Akako if you're actually reading this.
