Chapter Eleven

"Kiba please stay here while Hissori and I talk to Awaii" I said looking back at him. We had arrived at the cliff and could see Awaii standing on the edge. She looked so sad, but we knew she wasn't crying because it wasn't raining. But she was still so sad…..sad and confused.

"But-"

Hissori glared at Kiba and he quickly shut his mouth and nodded. I could tell he wanted to say something but decided against it…..He must not of wanted to get yelled at by Hissori.

Hissori and I walked out to Awaii, and she turned to face us once she heard our foot steps. Her face looked so sad…and yet a little upset.

"I don't want to talk to either of you" She looked back out into the sky, "I don't want to hear anymore lies"

"We didn't tell you about it because we were trying to protect you….we figured if you didn't remember it, then-"

"Then it would make it easier?!" She shouted, "This isn't easy for me…its not easy for me to think that…that I was attacked by some guy I don't even know…"She shouted again

Both Hissori and I walked over to Awaii, and sat down beside her, "Awaii…what happened is in the past…and there's nothing any of us can do to change it….right now all you can thing about is your daughter…and remember your not alone…and you never will be" I said looking out at the sky.

It then began to rain a little, I looked over at Awaii and saw that she was crying….She looked up at the rain drops fall onto her face washing away her tears. She looked back down, "How'd…..how'd you even know where I was?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I helped them" I turned and saw Kiba walking out of the bushes, wet from the rain.

"Why'd you help?" I asked him, watching him walk towards us.

"I was worried about you Awaii…" He said to me, "Not one that…but you have a little girl….whom has already been through enough…and doesn't need to hear that she lost her mother" He continued, "I know you've also been through a lot but you cant let it over run your life…do you really want Sage to always see you so sad"

I stood up, walked in front of Kiba, and slapped him, "Don't you ever talk to me about my daughter…or how I should feel" I glared at him, "You have NO idea how I feel. You don't know how if feels to wake up one day and not even know your own child, or your friends" I looked over at Red and Hissori, "None of you know…you all have these perfect lives…knowing everything about everyone…" I made a fist at my side, "So don't tell me I'm not alone….because I am…and always will be"

Hissori stood and walked over to me glaring at me, "You think You have it bad….I wish I could forget my past…I might not of been raped like you…but I was beaten…and treated like a slave when I was Sages age…I would give anything to forget something like that" She grabbed my shirt and pulled me down, so we were eye to eye, "You have friends who care about you, who want to help you…so grow up and quite acting as though you're the only victim here" She scoffed

"Hissori…let her go" Red said now also standing, she placed her hand on Hissoris shoulder, and Hissori let my shirt go, Red then looked up at me, "She is right though….your not the only victim here…..I'm not about to even start on how horrible my life was….all I'm going to do is tell you what I have already told you before…your not alone…and you never will be"

"How…how am I suppose to act?" I asked looking at Hissori and Red

"You cry a little…then try to get over it…that's what I did" Hissori said, "And if needed talk to someone…but don't let it ruin your life….because you have too much to live for"

Hissori was right…I couldn't allow it to ruin my life….I'm pretty sure I didn't act like this when I did remember everything…but then again I had 3 years to think about it…and now I've just found out about it….I looked back up at the rainy sky, how'd I act when it happened….what would I do now…..what can I do now?

"I'm sorry Kiba…for slapping you…and for yelling at all of you…I'm just…really confused, and don't know exactly how or what to do" I said looking back down at them.

Hissori and Red then hugged me, "And we're sorry for not telling you before….we promise to tell you everything from now on" Red said.

The rain had finally stopped after I had stopped crying, "Not to change the subject after having this conversation…but why does it rain when either myself of Sage cry?" I asked

Red and Hissori laughed a little, "So you finally noticed it…well its cause you both can control any type of water depending on your moods. As you can tell when either of you are sad it rains….but as far as the others, well lets just hope you don't get really angry any time soon" Hissori explained scratching the back of her head.

"We should head back to the house…we're all we and could catch a cold….plus Sage is also probably already back at the house…and could use some company" Kiba exclaimed. We looked at Kiba and nodded, then headed back to the village.

----------------------------------------TIME SKIP--------------------------------------

"Is Kiba gonna stay here tonight?" Sage asked looked over at me, "He was planning on making rice balls, your favorite, tonight for dinner"

I looked at Kiba, "You were?" I asked, "Well I guess it wont hurt for him to stay one more night" I said smiling at Sage.

She then looked at Kiba, winked at him, giggled, then ran back to her room.

I looked over at Kiba and saw he was blushing. Then looked back at the hall where Sage was walking out of her room, she had a backpack, and her stuffed animal with her, "and where do you think your going?"

She smiled then ran over to Red and Hissori, "um…well I'm gonna stay with them tonight…Red….Um…needs help with Mashira tonight" She said, I could tell she was lying cause she couldn't even look at me in the eyes when she was talking.

That's when I realized….she was trying to get Kiba and I alone…what else was she planning…I sighed then Sage, Red, Mashira, and Hissori left the house…leaving Kiba and myself alone….what a smart little girl of mine.

"I'm sorry… I didn't know she was going to do that…I uh-"

I shook my head, then slightly nodded, "it would seem she had plans of her own…" I looked at Kiba, "but just because she's gone…it doesn't mean you have to leave…" I said

Kiba blushed again, then nodded, "Alright, but only if you don't mind…I can still make rice ball" He commented

I nodded, "Okay, it sounds good…according to Sage, its my favorite"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived at my house, and I looked at Sage, "Alright….spill, what's with leaving your mom and Kiba alone…I don't need help with Mashira" I asked her

She looked up at me smiling, "Well…Kiba likes mom…and I'm sure she likes him, or else she wouldn't of said yes to him staying tonight…so I just gave them a little push" She explained

Hissori and I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Sage was trying to play cupid with Awaii and Kiba. Yep…Sage was definitely smart for her age…not quiet sure if that's a good or bad thing yet….

"Well since you're here…why don't we have a little party type thing" Hissori placed a hand on Sages head, "I think its about time for me to take you out and stea-"

"NO! Your not going to do that with Sage….she is only 3 and I doubt her mother would want her daughter to be going around stealing form people" I sighed looking at Hissori, "Why don't we just order some food, and watch a movie" I suggested

Sage shook her head, "I'm tired of watching movies….cant you teach me some spells…or something Red?" She asked looking up at me, she then looked at Hissori, "Or…I don't mind going out with you….you can teach me stuff too"

I sighed again….the only reason she was tired of watching movies…was because she always feel asleep in the middle of the movie….I then looked at Hissori, and she was giving me her little begging look…I could tell she REALLY wanted to go out and steal something…but I really don't think it would be such a good idea for Sage to go with her…

"I'm sorry Hissori….but you don't need to be stealing with Sage…" I looked outside and saw it was still bright, "Why don't we go to the park….you can play with Mashira…that sound like fun?"

Sage nodded smiling, and we headed to the park. Hissori ended up pushing Sage on the swing, and she would jump off the swing, and land on Mashira, so she wouldn't get hurt…of course it didn't hurt Mashira either….I shook my head slightly….well at least they're having fun…

"Why are you alone?" A male voice said behind me, I turned and could only see an outline of a mans body,

"I'm not alone….who are you?" I asked

"You don't remember me….well it has been a few years now" He then stepped out of the sun and I was able to see who he was….

He had short red messy hair, and deep blue eyes, I knew who he was…but what was he doing here?

-End of chapter, so who's the dude that was talking to Red….and what are Kiba and Awaii doing…gotta wait till next chapter…so until then…-
