Alrighty! So Here I am with another chapter you guys, now this isn't taking place in the present but instead in the past. If it seems a little confusing then let me explain, so basically this chapter is explaining the reincarnations of the main characters and how they came to be where they are now, so without further ado, enjoy!
(Hundreds of years ago)
"What was that light"? muttered Leaf, still in a trance from the light before.
"I don't know…..but it was so beautiful". mumbled Hikari, now rubbing her eyes continuously to see if all of it was real.
"You guys…." Kasumi tugged on Leaf and Hikari's sleeves, they snapped out of their trance and stared at her only to see the red head pointing down at the mob charging through the street.
"We need to get out of here, now!" Ordered the blue haired girl, she sprinted to the edge of the building and leaped forward onto the other house, the rest of the girls followed, now trying to escape the angry mob.
"There they are now!" Pointed one of the men up front, he held a torch in one of his hands and in the other he held a pitch fork, several of the other mob members held torches but differentiated in weapons, some held spears, the others had guns, pitch forks, knives, ropes, and many deadly weapons on hand.
"Don't let them get away!"
They stuck close by one another as they continued running over houses, they kept looking back at the angry crowd, now horrified at what could happen to them, "Hikari! They're not going to give up!" cried Hakura who was now terrified of the crowd as they continued to follow closely behind more and more.
"Why are they chasing us?! We're the good guys here, we're the ones who try to get their stuff back when they get robbed!". scoffed Misty through her heavy breathing, she angrily furrowed her brows at the thought of the mob overturning on them.
"I don't know, but we have to find a way to lose them!" Shouted Hikari, she closed her eyes for a minute and then shot them open, she pointed to the houses on her left where it revealed to have a slight gap between two houses.
"Follow my lead!" she threw herself into the upcoming gap and then kicked her feet against the walls to leap back and forth, the rest of the girls followed along.
She grabbed onto a rope hanging between two houses and swung herself forward with it, Kasumi followed after with Leaf closely behind and finally Hakura.
When she landed on the ground with her knee she quickly sprung back up and continued running, she looked back and saw the girls following closely behind, but then also noticed the mobbed crowd coming in through the alleys from behind, now running after them with full sprint.
The short haired brunette gasped when she saw the large crowd angrily chasing them, "Hikari!" she blared out excruciatingly. The other three looked back only to see one of the men running up front swinging his torch at Hakura who tried to dodge it but fell back onto the pavement, she scurried backwards but was quickly surrounded by them.
The three of them quickly stopped when they noticed there friend was in trouble, "Haruka!" Hikari cried out when she heard the brunette screech out in pain, "Run! Hikari! Kasumi! Leaf! Go! save yourselves!" she cried out as she released several more shrills.
"Burn her!" shouted one of the women.
"You bastards!" Kasumi tried to go after them but Leaf and Hikari held her back, the three of them watched in pure stricken horror when they kept hearing Haruka's shrieks and pleads, they gasped and then cried upon seeing the large flames shooting up from within the crowd.
They couldn't stop, Hikari had to pull Leaf and Kasumi's hands along to continue running through the streets, "She's….she's gone…...Noooooooooooo!" Shouted Leaf through her sobs, hiccuping at everything that just happened.
"Haruka's death won't go unpunished". muttered Hikari, staring angrily at the road ahead of her as she let her tears run freely.
"Got you!" the three of them were ambushed by a group of angry mobsters who poured in from the streets, they threw a rope towards their ankles which had swiftly wrapped their legs together and made them trip to the ground simultaneously.
They turned over on their backs and looked up at the surrounding crowd who laughed at them, there hands were tied and they were dragged through the floor all across the town, "No! no! I swear I'll kill you all, I swear it!" Yelled Kasumi, she continued screaming with every inch of breath she had in her body, her face had begun turning red with rage.
"You people sicken me! how can you just burn somebody like that!? She tried to help all of you by returning what was stolen! We all did! And this how you bastards repay us?!"
"Shut up! We're sick of the war going on between you and those thieves...they'll get what is coming to them".
"Have you no shame…." responded Hikari, her voice had remained calm yet it was cold and chilling enough to make one's insides twist.
"...taking lives as if it didn't matter, they may not be saints but they are still people, we were merely trying to protect your families and yet…. for all this kindness we get death in return...disgusting".
"Shut up! It's like we said, we are all sick of this war, we deserve peace just as much as anyone, but as long as you're here! Or those criminals! we will never have it"!
She opened her mouth to speak but was left with nothing to say and stayed quiet after that, she watched Leaf cover her tear stained face with her tied hands, then over at Kasumi who was running out of energy, letting her screams of rebellion get quieter and quieter until she eventually couldn't scream no more.
They were dragged up on the outskirts of the village, the only things in clear sight were a lake, a tree, and a single chair.
They untied them where each girl was separately dragged off into a different direction, they forcefully seated Hikari on the chair and strapped her arms and legs to it, she had a full view of both the tree where Leaf was being dragged to, and the lake where Misty was being taken too.
Her eyes began glistening upon seeing them wrap a rope around Leaf's neck, she looked too beaten to even fight back, when they made her walk up on the podium she looked up only to make eye contact with Hikari who saw that the brunette no longer had hope or faith in her eyes, she had given up on everything, a single tear fell from her left eye as she whispered to Kasumi and Hikari, "Goodbye…"
"Leeeeaffff!"
The two of them gasped with a disheartened squeal as the door underneath the podium opened, allowing her to fall through and let the rope tighten around her neck, choking her. She gasped and gawked and gurgled for even the slightest bit of air, but the wheeze from her mouth finally died down, as well as her last breath.
Kasumi had begun sobbing uncontrollably, she now had chains wrapped around her legs that were attached to a large metal ball, they cuffed both her hands behind her back and walked her to the edge of the lake, she looked back once more to stare at the bluenette who was the one sobbing uncontrollably now, she shook her head at the red heads sight and then shouted wildly, unleashing the anger that had built in her.
"Goodbye….Hikari". she turned her head back to the lake view and hung it low, they pushed her into the water where she slowly began sinking to the bottom, letting a trail of bubbles float up from her last breaths, one, to two, to three…. they had stopped.
The man crouched down behind Hikari towards ear level, "Your punishment…..heh….was having to witness each of your dear friends die a horrible….painful….death, but you will get the worst".
She had the same look in her eyes as Leaf did, lifeless, hopeless, voidless, she took in a deep breath, barely having any strength to talk, "What could possibly be worse….than watching the people you love…...die in front of you…..and you couldn't do anything to save them….tell me...what could be worse than that".
"Living the rest of your days here, in this chair, by yourself, with noone around".
She closed her eyes, letting trails of her tears stream down her cheeks, he pointed his finger forward, ordering the mob to leave.
They stopped when she began speaking again, "I'm sorry….for everything your people had to live through all these years….the pain….fear…..misery…..and violence…...I understand the reasons for your actions…..".
They closed their eyes, holding back the sympathy they were now starting to feel for her, "...we may be monsters to you…..but we feel love too…...and fear…...sadness….anger…...happiness…..I know we took many happy years from your lives with this war, and you only wanted to get them back….but I can only say…...I'm sorry, we all are….and even though today you took the only happiness in my life….my family, sisters, friends….I have nothing to feel against you all, I can only let you know, that I forgive you….."
They shook their heads, and without saying anything, they continued making their way back to the village, the women had tears coming down their eyes as the men rubbed their necks in shame and regret, "...A pure soul she is…It's a shame she was raised to have a dangerous heart…."
She opened her eyes, crying hysterically as she saw Leaf's now lifeless pale body slowly swinging back and forth due to the wind, then seeing the dragging traces from Kasumi's chains where they ended right at the edge of the Lake, and finally, at the smog rising up from inside the village.
She kept rocking her chair from side to side to break free from, but she only fell back, thumping her head on the floor and knocking herself out.
(On the other side of the Village)
The four of them were chained and tied to a wooden pole, heavily trapped under chains and ropes, they kept pulling their force and trying to smuggle through only to fail.
"I'll kill you all! Mark my words you pathetic fools!" Shouted Shigeru, now furious at the mob who taunted them with their laughs and mocking grins.
"After many years….we finally have you under chains, our village can live fearless now that you will be gone, how we have waited for this moment".
"You can all go to hell!" Growled Shinji, gritting his teeth until he could feel the pain.
"No! I believe that is where you will be going after this". laughed one of the men.
They grouped around the four males and unchained them, dragging them through the city as the villagers cheered, one of the males, Satoshi, noticed smoke arising from the other side of the village.
"What is that?" he muttered to himself.
They were dragged onto a plain field where a large abandoned tower rested next to a large lake, they pulled Shigeru aside and dragged him inside the tower, then they grabbed Shu and took him to where a large barrel with chains and holes along with a hot rod awaited him.
Satoshi was taken in front of the tower entrance where he was forced to kneel down, now hanging his head down low, Shinji was dragged with as much force the men needed and tied his hands and feet to ropes that were attached to a wooden frame, it held him up, arms and legs spread open as he gained a clear view of everyone, and everything.
He looked up at the tower and saw Shigeru standing at the edge of of the roof, he was strapped with even more chains that were attached to several metal balls, one of the men standing behind him held a stick, pointing it right behind the brunette.
"Shigeru!" Shu yelled out, but was hit on the head with a rod, Satoshi yelled out this time, "Shigeru! No! You sick fucks! I swear if you make him jump I will kill you all!" he tried to get up but was quickly pinned down to the ground by the man's foot.
"Shinji! Satoshi! Shu! Stay strong!" he shouted back, but it was followed by his scream as he was quickly stricken on the head by one of the men.
Shinji watched, furrowing his eyes and breathing heavily as his heart began racing, the man pushed the stick against Shigeru forcing him over, "Shigeru!" they yelled, opening their eyes wide to the torturous sight, watching fear stricken as their friend now lied on the ground with a pool of blood expanding underneath him, his eyes widely kept open towards Shinji.
He closed his own and looked away, unable to look at the gruesome sight, "Argh!" his eyes shot open again and found themselves staring at Shu who was being forced on the ground as countless men burned his body with hot rods, sticking them on every part of his body and holding them their for a countless amount of time, his screams only got louder.
"You fucking bastards! Stop it!" he shouted, pulling the ropes to try to break the wooden frame but it failed to work, he didn't stop though and kept wildly twisting and turning with the ropes in order to free himself.
"Stop!" One of the men rushed over to him and brutally struck him in the gut with a pole, making him cough out blood and now take on his glare towards his attacker who began feeling intimidated.
"Ahh!" He snapped his head towards Satoshi's direction where he now saw a group of men surrounding the raven haired men, each of them held an elektrik in their gloved hands, one by one they used the small but deadly pokemon to shock him in several parts of his body, he cringed, flinched, and twitched brutally to each shock.
"Satoshi!" he could hear the men laughing at his teammates pain and torture, they began picking up their pace quicker, shocking him faster and faster, one of the men placed the pokemon against his head while the others placed them all around his body, he was stricken a final time with one large lightning shock before falling to the ground, he was now lying on his side, smoke rising out of him in a now lifeless state, he was dead.
"Satoshi…..Satoshi!" his purple eyes watched continuously to see if his friend would wake up, to see if his eyes would open up, but they didn't, they stayed close, permanently.
"Shinji!" he closed his eyes shut but then opened them once more to look at Shu who was now covered in gruesome burns, his skin was red and covered in boils which were still bubbling, he was being dragged, letting his feet run through the dirt as the men carried him through, he kept a barely noticeable grin towards the purple headed leader, "See you on the other side Shinji…...we'll be waiting". He flashed him a wide grin showing his now blood stained teeth.
They threw him into the barrel and locked it securely with the chains where they began rolling it towards the water, letting the small currents carry it off, little by little the barrel began sinking and disappearing beneath the water until it was completely drowned in.
"What do you think of that, eh?!" mocked one of the men who had led the mob, he walked up to Shinji where he had begun laughing hysterically in his face, confusion now running across all there faces.
"You thought we were the monsters….. we all did sinful acts…... but what you did today is beyond the ungodly act of innocent people, killing us only made us look pure, for you morons will now carry darkness in your souls, you are no longer pure nor innocent, but instead…... heartless murderers who will forever be judged by the gods themselves".
His words had made an impact, the women dropped their weapons and slowly backed away from the crowd, hugging themselves insecurely at the deeds they had done, while several men had done the same, the remaining stood their ground, holding their weapons tight in their grasps.
"We may have tainted our souls and blackened our hearts, but we did it to fight for what we love".
He plunged a spear through Shinji's heart, watching uncomfortably as the purple headed boy made eye contact with every single one of them, letting them witness and watch with uneasiness as blood seeped out of his mouth and wound.
He opened his mouth once more, speaking his final words out loud, "We were never monsters…nor heartless...nor soulless….or emotionless…...we were simply….humans…..born with Dangerous Hearts".
Their eyes opened wide, he had given them a sincere smile, one that held a lot of emotion within, one that made them feel sick to their stomachs, they felt frightened, and could feel endless chills running up and down their spines, none of them now realizing that they had tears running down their cheeks.
His smile faded and his head had slowly started to drop, facing the ground as he let out his final breath.
(Hikari)
"H-haruka….Leaf…..Kasumi…." she muttered those words as she began fluttering her eyes open, when they did, tears fell out.
She saw the darkness from the night sky but also saw the light shining down from the moon onto her, she looked up, and there it was, bigger than anything in the sky, bold and bright.
She kept staring up at it as she layed on her back, letting the never ending tears keep flowing out, she sighed a little and then shut her mouth in tightly to prevent herself from whimpering and crying out uncontrollably again, it was too much.
"I-i'm….so sorry,...you guys, I'm sorry i couldn't help you…...I'm sorry we ended up like this, I'm just so sorry….please….come back". she whimpered out, her voice was cracking as she kept hiccuping.
"It should have been me….I should have been the one to get burned….or hanged…..or drowned….none of you deserved this…..please…..just please…...don't leave me".
*Hikari, do you truly love your friends?*
She jumped from fright when she heard the strange voice "Who said that?"
*Do you?*
"Yes…...I loved them, they were my family, my sisters, my world…."
*In a time like this, how can you forgive the people who have taken the most important things in your life?*
"Their actions were heartless…..but that does not mean they still didn't have a heart, we made them suffer in fear and unhappiness even if we only tried to protect and help them….I can only forgive because I now know what it felt like to lose someone important today, to live with so much fear and to be left living broken and loveless…..they merely did what they did to protect and fight for what they love….something everyone would do".
*Spoken by the purest heart*
She coughed violently as a heavy feeling came onto her chest, she could feel the air being sucked out of her, her vision started getting blurry and mind became dizzy, she looked up at the moon one final time, not knowing that her eyes had begun glowing white.
*It is time Hikari*
She gasped out, the chair she was strapped to suddenly shattered and turned into dust leaving the blue haired girl lying on the floor, the glow from her eyes had disappeared and closed afterwards, leaving her solemn on the field, unresponsive and lifeless.
(Elysium)
She woke up, only to sit up and find herself resting on a cloud now, she looked down at her apparel and noticed the white gown she was in now, one shoulder and draped to the ground wrapped with gold seams that shined brightly under the natural light, a gold medallion rested on the shoulder strap, it had a wide length four pointed star crossing a long length four pointed star inside a circle creating an eight pointed symbol, in each intersection was a smaller star which ended up being 8 in total, four smaller circles were on each point of the lengthy star with symbols of a lunar crescent, a sun, an infinity symbol, and then an arrow with a heart shaped tip and diamond pointed back, four other circles were on the other points which had the symbols of a teardrop, flame, flower, and three swirls forming together in a triangular way.
"What…..is this?" she mumbled to herself, her head went slowly around as she stared at the endless rows and clumps of clouds floating about.
"Hikari!" She was tackled onto the floor by several familiar faces.
Her eyes lit up with happiness and excitement upon seeing who it was.
"Kasumi!"
"Haruka!"
Leaf!"
"Who else?" giggled Haruka giving the bluenette a helping hand.
"But….but I saw you guys g-getting…..burned….hanged…...drowned". she closed her eyes cringing from the terrifying moments.
"We did….but then we found ourselves here, It's so beautiful!" squealed Leaf, spinning around as she held her arms out.
"Wait….." Hikari grabbed Leaf's arms to stop her from spinning and touched the medallion that was placed on the same dress she had on, the symbol carved on it however wasn't the same as hers, but rather a detailed symbol of a tree wrapped with vines and small blooming flowers growing out of them.
She then walked over to Haruka and Kasumi, touching each of their medallions which also had different symbols, three flames, one inside the other with each one growing larger, and three water drops falling in a trail one bigger than the last, inside each one was an even smaller carving of waves brushing by.
"What does it mean?" asked Hikari, tracing her fingers over her medallion this time.
(Shinji)
"Shinji….Shinji". he continued shaking the boy, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him even harder this time.
"Wh-...where am I"? he mumbled, barely able to open his eyes as they squinted every time they tried to flutter open.
"Wake up". his eyes managed to reveal themselves and he found himself staring up at several familiar face.
"Shu…...Satoshi…..Shigeru…". they grinned down at him.
He sat up and found himself on top of a cloud along with the boys, he then noticed the clothes they were wearing, everything was in white, their pants, shoes, dress shirt, and even their capes, they were attached to the right shoulder by a gold medallion, he looked at the one on him and saw the carving of a seven pointed star inside a circle surrounded by four smaller ones, inside each of the circles was a small marking of a snowflake engulfed in a flame, a swirl passing through a budded flower, a bolt shooting through a wave, and an arrow with a star pointed tip shooting through the moon and sun.
He looked up and saw the symbols on each of the other males medallions, Shigeru's was of three swirls formed in the shape of a triangle, Shu's was of a snowflake, and Satoshi's was of a thunder bolt.
"I think we're in heaven". Satoshi pondered, looking excitingly at every cloud that passed by.
"Heaven? Pfft, I don't think that's possible". Scoffed Shigeru, disbelieving at the thought.
"Why not"? Asked Shu, shrugging his shoulders at the brunettes response.
*Welcome to my kingdom, I have been expecting you all*
They froze at the godly voice that had just spoken out, they then looked at each other and then up at the sky where there was only a bright light to be seen that blinded them every time they looked up.
"Who are you"? Shouted Shinji, now getting up on his feet.
*I am the being that controls the universe*
"Being? You mean…...as in the god….Arceus?" Satoshi jaw dropped.
*Yes, and I have brought the eight of you here for the same reason*
"Eight? But there are only four of us"? Shinji questioned, a bright beam shot down in front of them revealing Hikari, Haruka, Leaf, and Kasumi piled on top of the other.
She muttered out, "What…..what happened"? she began rubbing her blue eyes, then looked at the boys who were just in front of them, staring at them quizzically.
She helped Haruka and the rest up on their feet, it became quiet, they continued staring at one another not knowing what to do.
*The eight of you have been trialed with sinful acts; stealing, lying, cheating, and death*
"If we are being judged by the sinful acts we have done then why are we here"? asked Hikari with much curiosity, the rest nodded along with her response.
*Because I see the pureness and good in your hearts and souls, there is something rare in each and everyone of you that no other human on earth have shown to possess*
Shu had looked away, staring at the ground as he refused to believe the godly creatures words, "We are not pure, we have tainted souls and hearts, you must be mistaken".
*I am not mistaken my dear boy, all of you may have committed deeds in the past that could have ruined the pureness in you, but no matter what, you all have the power to change, and the ability to change the world into a better place, where only peace and harmony can exist without any threat*
"How can we do that? We are just mere humans…..or…..dead spirits". Questioned Kasumi now wondering what they really were now.
*That is why I brought you all here, I have witnessed what happened to each of you, and I can only say that today was not the day for you to arrive to your new home up here, you eight all have a duty to return to earth and fulfill your destinies*
"Destinies? What is that supposed to mean?" Asked Shigeru, staring at the girls who shrugged along.
*The earth is heading towards an age of darkness…..I am slowly losing my power as my brother, Giratina, grows stronger every day*
The girls gasped, "Losing your power?! But how?" Hikari shook her head in denial.
"You're the lord of the universe, our god, you can't be losing you power, if you do th-then...then…"
*I will die…..my brother plans to take control of the universe once he is able to absorb all of my powers, and once he does, I will be no more*
"Giratina….If he does this, he will be able to control both the underworld and your world, along with everything in between, he'll be unstoppable". Muttered Shinji, his eyes grew wide upon realizing the gravity of the situation.
*Yes, I am no longer safe, I know my brother is building an army for when the right time comes, he will invade the heavens and destroy me for my energy, I cannot allow him to do this, for if he succeeds, the world that which you love will be drowned in darkness for centuries to come*
"Giratina can't! A world of darkness will be a nightmare, people will live in fear everyday, they will be enslaved by him!" Kasumi began pacing back and forth as she began venting.
*I can no longer stay here and risk the futures of our worlds, I must leave, but if I do, my power to balance the dimensions and universe will fall and the consequences will be disastrous, I can only entrust the keys to my powers to the purest hearts, with them, you can restore balance within the universe and protect us from the heartless army, when the right time comes, you will use your powers to summon me and only then will I be able to gain all of my strength back and restore order upon the universe*
"Are you saying we have to lead a fight against the Heartless army?" exclaimed Haruka who was now sweating uncontrollably at the thought.
"What are the keys to your power"? Satoshi quirked an eyebrow.
*The keys are the gifts I will bestow, they are the path to finding me and unlocking omnipotence which is ultimate power, my power in order to keep balance within all worlds, it is the most destructive ability one can get their hands on, Giratina has it, but it is not nearly as strong as my will, but if he gets a hold of it there will be no chance of stopping him*
"How will we know when to find you"?
*You will know….the time will come when you will hear my voice and I will be resurrected back onto this world, but for now, I can only entrust the fate of everyone's lives on to you guardians*
Before any of them could respond, they were stricken from bright lights that came crashing down on them, each one of them became a different color and shined together like a rainbow, they screamed when they felt a shocking pain surge throughout their bodies, but soon found themselves feeling stronger and more alive.
They each fell to the ground, glowing with a respected color, Shigeru was orange, Satoshi was yellow, Haruka was red, Kasumi was blue, Leaf was green, Shu was white, Shinji was gold, and Hikari was pink.
Their bodies vanished, leaving the light from above blinking and slowly fading away, *Only the purest hearts can come together and bring me back to this life, If they fail to do so and fall into the depths of evil, there hearts will perish and so will their souls, Hikari and Shinji have the purest hearts on earth, they cannot let themselves fall prey to Giratina, they are the ultimate keys to bringing harmony and peace everywhere as well as to ending the war, hope and light, be strong*
(Back down on Earth)
"Wake up…..hey". She felt a slight vibration and tight pressure against her shoulders, she opened them wide and found them right across from a pair of violet ones, he stood up, facing down at her and then helped her up on her feet.
"Was…..was all that a dream?" she mumbled, patting her head and then shaking it.
"No….". he looked down at his chest where the scar of the spear piercing through his heart was, his eyes widened and then he took off without saying another word to the bluenette.
She held out her hand, "Wait! Where are you going?" there was no response, he took off into the forest, nowhere to be seen now.
She looked down at herself, there was a scar of a diamond on her mid chest, she looked over at the tree and rushed over upon noticing Leaf's hanging corpse, her body was still as pale as it was before.
Tiny vines began creeping out from the branches of the tree and started wrapping themselves around her body until she was completely covered, spiky thorns popped out of the vines and then transformed into blooming flowers that emitted a blinding green light to the bluenette, she looked away and then turned her head back, noticing that the vines were sinking and vanishing into the brunette. A vine swooped in from the top and cut right through the rope, releasing the young girl onto the floor who was now kneeling and gasping for air, Hikari knelt by her side, hugging her tightly with all her strength.
"Leaf! You're alive!" she pulled the brunette away to look at her once more and saw the perfectivity in her, not a single scratch was on her porcelain skin nor any rope burns around her neck, it was as if she was unharmed at all.
"Hikari…...what happened"?
"I'm not sure...but I'm just glad that you're alive". she hugged her once more, prompting the brunette to hug her back tightly.
They were astonished by the loud roar of splashing water that shot up into a single stream from the lake, they stood up and began creeping closer as the water kept roaring, it disappeared, leaving a shower of droplets to sprinkle over them, but it was the least of their focus when they saw Kasumi standing over the center of the water, still bound in cuffs and chains, her eyes remained closed when she held out her arms, two thin streams of water rose up from the lake and whipped themselves among the chains surrounding her arms and legs, splitting through them and freeing the redhead.
Her eyes opened, revealing her turquoise colored iris, with every step she took walking on the water towards the two girls she created a ripple water effect trail, when she reached land, she found herself staring into Hikari's and Leaf's eyes, smiling at them afterwards. They both glomped her into a hug, holding her tightly in their arms.
"Kasumi…...I'm so glad you-youre-" she was stopped by the redhead who placed her hand over the bluenette's mouth, she grinned and shook her head, "Let's not speak of this".
"Haruka!" she pulled herself away, opening her blue eyes wide when she remembered the brunette, she took off with the others, unaware of what the villagers might think when they see them.
(Shinji)
He stopped in his tracks when he arrived at the scene where all of their deaths had occurred, he looked distraught when he saw both Satoshi's and Shigeru's bodies still lying lifeless on the ground and no whereabouts of Shu.
His thoughts were interrupted when he began hearing several electrical sparking sounds that were coming from Satoshi, his body began blinking rapidly, he released a powerful light that emitted electric waves to run up and down his entire body, it was all absorbed into the center of his back where a strong bolt of lightning came crashing down from the bright sky and onto the raven haired boy, blowing Shinji away onto the ground.
He rubbed his head and sat up, staring in place as Satoshi now stood on his feet, alive and well without a single scratch on him, he looked down at himself just as surprised as Shinji.
"Shinji?" he tilted his head quizzically, before being able to respond there was a second powerful attack that had blown Satoshi onto the ground next to Shinji, both of them now staring up as the clouds darkened and dirt began blowing through the air, creating a dusty view of the area.
"What's happening"?! they began shielding their faces as the wind became stronger, picking up more dust and blocking the view entirely as everything became cloudy with dirt, they saw a shadowy figure among the cloudy wind walking towards them, it began to die down, and when it did, Shigeru was left standing before them, just as well as Satoshi and Shinji.
"Shigeru….you're alive!" Exclaimed Satoshi with his jaw dropped.
"We all are". Shinji pointed ahead as the water in which Shu was thrown into began to freeze over, the barrel rose up onto the surface completely iced over which had shattered into a million pieces, revealing Shu, still bound and cuffed with all the chains which had frozen over too. He tightened his arms together, breaking the chains off, once the water had completely turned solid he walked over it and began making his way over to the other three, rubbing his wrists from the irritation of the cuffs, he growled at the marks that they had left on his wrists.
"Shinji….what the hell is happening"? they looked over at the purple haired boy who looked just as clueless, "I don't know, but I have a feeling we just got ourselves into a war".
"Ahh!" there heads snapped over to the village center where a large flame began shooting up into the air, they looked at one another and rushed off into the same direction.
They shielded their faces from the intense heat building through the large flame pit, the ashes in which Haruka's body previously rested at began rising up into the air, the fire became even more intense, swirling dangerously while stealing the oxygen from everyone's breaths, it suddenly exploded, sending each of the girls flying back towards the wall, sliding down nearly unconscious. They looked up only to see the short haired brunette standing in the center of the road, a growing pit of fire stood beneath her feet, but she didn't seem the least bit concerned about getting burned,because she couldn't.
She looked down at the ground, then at herself, her arms, legs, she touched her neck and then her face, a wide smile now shaped onto her lips.
"Haruka!" they ran to her and tackled her into a hug, "We thought we lost you". cried Leaf, burying her her face onto Haruka's shoulder where she began crying out in happiness.
"I thought I lost you guys too, I was so scared, but I'm so glad to be back…."
Hikari was the first to stand, the rest followed and watched her as she began wandering off in her own thoughts, "We were brought back here for a reason…...he...brought us back". she stared up at the sky along with the girls, the sunlight began growing brighter over them.
Ok so here you have it people! Another chapter for Dangerous hearts, sorry If Itt wasn't what you were expecting but I wanted to tell the story of the main characters past lives so the story could be further understood, the next chapter however will go back to the present characters, but i do hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much I did writing it, please let me know what you thought about it, i usually find that reading and writing these chapters helps when i have music to listen to, my music inspires every chapter so i guess it can be that sad songs inspire the sad scenes and fast paced songs inspire fight scenes for me, anyways on another note i also wanted to discuss an issue i have been dealing with for a while now, lately i have been receiving a lot of private messages from people bashing and flaming on my stories and i have no idea why but i won't tolerate any harassment or bullying, and yes Kira i realize i am terrible at spelling and grammar, and i was a senior now i'm a college student, and i'll try my best to clean it up but chances are i'll forget or won't have the time to do it, i write my stories when i have the time and do them in quite a bit of rush because i don't want to keep any of my readers waiting any longer, so pretty much the moment i am done writing it i will just post it up, because if i don't i'll forget that i even wrote the chapter and just leave it at that, plus i have a busy schedule with work and all so i'm just glad to have some time to be able to write, and with that said, i hope you enjoyed the chapter and i will hopefully get back to you all with another chapter.
