"Since it is getting late, why don't you figure out what to do and plan on meeting up somewhere tomorrow?" Kelly said to Cathy.
"Yeah we should." Tala agreed.
"What are we going to do anyway?" Tom asked.
"I don't know, it's been so long since I last thought about that song." Cathy said.
"Maybe you should go back to your home?" Kelly said to Cathy.
"My home?" Cathy asked her best friend.
"Yeah, your childhood home. It is the last place you had been when you sang the song with your brother is it not?" Kelly explained.
"Your right." Cathy agreed after she thought about it.
"Why don't we meet at the 'Phoenix' about 9 am and then head to your childhood home?" Tala asked as Cathy agreed, as Tom and Tala told the others what the plan was before they all left.
Cathy and Kelly went back to their place, taking Cathy's car since Kelly refused to learn how to drive, Tala, Tom, and the blade breakers got into the van and Tala drove to the hotel that the blade breakers where staying in before heading to their home. Tala and Tom promised to pick the blade breakers up at 8:45 am and they agreed.
The next morning Tom drove the van, following Cathy's directions to her old home, the others were in the back as they watched the houses start looking like mansions that were set further and further from the road. Soon they came to a street that had no houses on it but one.
"Why aren't there any houses on this street?" Max asked.
"This isn't a street. It's a driveway. This is my old house, its set so far back from the road that the driveway looks like a street to anyone who doesn't know." Cathy explained to the others.
"Oh." They said.
"Is that your home?" Hillary asked pointing to an old mansion that looked like it was falling apart. The grass was over grown and the fountain was cover in ivy and clogged with leaves and stuff, the house as so had ivy covering it, the windows were broken and the roof was falling off and a tree and fallen onto the house and destroyed part of the roof and some of the rooms upstairs on the right side of the house. There were two cars that sat rusting away in front what was the garage.
"Yeah this is it." Cathy said as they all got out of the van after Tom parked in front of the house.
"Why is it like this?" Tyson asked.
"My parents left it to me and Kai, but since they died when we were only 5 years old, it was left alone until we were old enough to know what we wanted to do with it. Grandfather took Kai and I went to live with our god mother and I forgot about it until Kelly mentioned it yesterday. So it had sat here, untouched for the past 21 years." Cathy explained as they entered the old mansion.
"Oh." They said as they started looking through all the rooms, they found Kai's old childhood bedroom, as well as Cathy's.
In the living room they found an 8' by 10' family photo, it showed a 5 year old Kai sitting on his mother's lap as a 5 year old Cathy sat on her father's lap, all four were smiling, clearly happy. The 5 year old Kai did not have the blue tattoos on his face.
"That was taken a week after our 5th birthday a few months before our parents were killed in front of us." Cathy said as she stared at it.
"Cathy? Is there anything about the song you remember?" Tala asked, hoping she remembered something about it.
"It was a simple song. Easy to learn." Cathy said.
"Is that a piano?" Hillary asked as she pointed to the covered item making Cathy walk over to it and remove the cloth to reveal a grand piano.
"It's most likely out of tune." Cathy said as she played a few notes.
"Horribly out of tune." Rei said.
"I remember always asking, more like begging, our mother to play the music that went to our song." Cathy said as Tom came up to her at the piano and played a few notes despite it being out of tune.
"That would have sounded even better if it wasn't out of tune." Kenny said as everyone agreed.
"That was it!" Cathy exclaimed suddenly.
"What was?" Tom asked.
"That tune you just played, that was the tune to the song!" Cathy said happily.
"Do you remember anything else about it?" Tala asked as she thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"The only other thing I remember is that it was on two sheets of paper that were stapled together." Cathy said.
"Do you think it could be in the piano bench?" Max asked her.
"Maybe. Let's look." Cathy said as she had Tom opened the bench as the others gathered around and Tala helped his brother and Cathy look at the music, each reading a few lines, if the music had words written under the music notes.
"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." Tala read from another song, as Cathy's head snapped up and she looked at him with wide eyes.
"THAT'S IT!" yelled Cathy as she jumped to her feet.
"What's it?" Rei asked her as they all looked at her.
"Tala let me see that." Cathy said as Tala handed he the music over to her. The music he held had only two pieces of paper that were stapled together.
"This is our song, it was such a lovely melody, we loved singing it often." Cathy said with a soft smile.
"Well let's go to where we have Kai hidden away and you can sing it." Tala said as Cathy agreed and everyone got up and left the old mansion and got into the van and Tala drove to the warehouse and they led her to where Kai was.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me,
Let there be peace on earth,
The peace that was meant to be.
With god our creator,
Children all are we,
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me;
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
As soon as Cathy finished singing there was a flash of light and when it cleared they found Kai was no longer a statue, he was shaking his head.
"Kai are you alright?" Rei asked as he took a step forward.
"What...what happened?" Kai asked as he blinked a few times as he looked at him.
"What is the last thing you remember?" Kenny asked.
"I was outside, Hillary wanted me to come in before I got sick, but I wanted to stay out a few minutes longer. After that nothing." Kai said.
"After you said you would come in after a few minutes, you were hit with lightening and when I looked after the flash of light cleared from my sight, I saw you had turned to stone." Hillary explained.
"When she called us to come outside, I suggested we call Tala and ask for his help, and we got it so we brought you here to Russia with us as we met up with Tala and his twin brother Thomas." Rei told him causing Kai to look at the two.
"You helped me before." Kai said as he pointed at Tom, recognizing him.
"I did, I found you in the woods and with some help from Tala, and I got you back to Japan." Tom explained.
"Mushro." Cathy said softly as he looked over to her and blinked surprised to see her.
"Kiara?" Kai asked surprised, clearly knowing who she was, as she smiled.
"Yeah." She said as she smiled.
"We found her with Tom and Tala's help. They said the only way to turn you back to normal was for Cathy here to sing you favorite song." Tyson told him.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." Came a male voice.
SB/Kierra: Oooooh a cliffy!
Annie: I could not resist doing that!
SB/Kierra: Want to know who has appeared?
Annie: You will find out in the next chapter which is also the last chapter of this story!
SB/Kierra: We have finally finished writing this story?!
Annie: Yep! Oh and before I forget the song is something I sang at my church once and the part that is underlined is slightly different. It normally goes 'with god as our father, brothers all are we, let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony'. I like the way I have it written better.
SB/Kierra: Wow! Review please! Cya!
Annie: Bye!
