Aqua Angel: hey guys so apparently there has been some confusion with what's going on.

Kyoya: oh really I never would have guested then again I don't even know who I am.

Aqua Angel: that's one then the readers are confused about I tried my best to show it without having to say it but you are Sumichi.

Kyoya: is that why I have some strange interest it Aqua?

Aqua Angel: yes you still have the same personality even though you don't have your memories and you are in love with Aqua but you don't know it however when you see her those feelings show to some extent.

Aqua: ok Aqua Angel is that all we need to cover for now?

Aqua Angel: yes I believe so oh wait we also have to tell everyone who each love interest is.

Aqua: um ok well we all know that mine is Sumichi who right now is Kyoya. Chihiro and Kohaku, Hekiro and Sunoma, Torch and Nichi, oh and a strange twist of events Frost and Kami, Vine and Kiemaru. That's all that we have for now.

Aqua Angel: alright then let's begin the story.

Chapter 12: The Journey Begins

Chihiro awoke to a knock on her door. "Yes?" she questioned to the figure behind the door.

"Hey Chi, it's time to get up. You need to get ready for the trip. I've set out some clothes for you in the bathroom. Get dressed and meet us outside." Called Aqua's voice through the door.

"Alright, I'll be down shortly." Chihiro called to the wolf spirit in the hall.

"Ok, once we eat and double check that we have everything we need we'll head out." Aqua said as she left.

Ok so first a quick shower Chihiro thought to herself getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.

Chihiro got a quick five minute shower, making to all the dirt out of her long dark brown hair that was as long as Kiara's. She stepped out of the shower dripping wet as she reached for a towel to dry off. (A/N: Is that enough detail for you?) Now then Aqua said she left out some clothes Chihiro thought as she looked around the bathroom and spotted the clothes. Here they are she put her hair up in her towel as she got dressed. She had a hot pink spaghetti strap tank top. Dark blue jean shorts that were just above mid-thigh with a hot pink belt that had a small blade hidden behind the buckle and white knee high socks. (A/N: I'm gonna explain her outfit it gets hot outside that's why she has a tank top and shorts and the knee high socks is so she doesn't get cut by any thorns.) She dried her hair and braded it tying it at the end with her purple hair tie, and went down stairs to join the others outside.

Aqua was sitting on the ground outside when she spotted Chihiro. "Oh hey, want some?" She asked offering Chihiro a rice ball.

"Sure," Chihiro answered taking the rice ball and sitting next to Aqua. "So where are Haku and Kyoya?" she asked.

"Right behind you." Replied a deep voice.

Chihiro turned around and saw Haku wearing dark blue jeans and a green muscle shirt. Kyoya was right beside him wearing the same thing only Kyoya's shirt was more of a gold color. "Oh hey, are we ready to go?" Chihiro asked.

"Yeah, once you're done eating we can go." Haku replied bending down to kiss Chihiro making her blush.

"Alright, then I guess I'll go get our bags." Aqua stated as she stood up to go retrieve the bags from the other room.

Kyoya couldn't help but stair when Aqua stood up; her hair was tied in a high pony with a long crimson (aka: blood) red ribbon that reached to her mid back. She had a choker around her neck that matched the color of her ribbon. She was wearing a black leather tank top that stopped just above her navel with crimson red gloves that went halfway above her elbows. She had knee high black boots, a gun strapped to the right side of her crimson red belt and a knife strapped to her left thigh. (A/N: her belt is one of those slanting types where it hangs on her left hip and falls off her right.) Wow she's hot but still her hair up like that and that ribbon looks so familiar Kyoya thought to himself.

"Hey Aqua, what's with the outfit?" Chihiro asked noticing that she wasn't wearing her normal attire.

"Oh, I wear these clothes when I go somewhere dangerous or when I go to fight. Everyone in the wolf realm has their normal clothes then they have their fighting clothes. You see mine is very unique because it has so many tricks to it. I've got my gun and knife in plain sight. Then I have my ribbon which would produce a shield if I was in danger, my choker can extend in length and I could use it to tie someone up not to mention it's unbreakable. My gloves are strong enough to break through anything. My belt has a blade hidden under the buckle like yours just like yours Chi, and my boots I keep a special poison laced blade in one for killing while the blade in the other only paralyses my enemies." Aqua explained.

Aqua went inside to get the bas while the others talked. "So," Kyoya spoke "Aqua seems… familiar did maybe you introduce her to me before Chihiro?" he asked hesitantly.

"Nope never I only met her a few days ago. Are you maybe interested in her?" Chihiro answered.

"I'm not sure however, it seems like I've met her before, sort of like she used to be really close to me. I just have this feeling that she's someone important to me. I know it my sound strange, but when I see her for, some reason I feel like I don't want to do anything but protect her." Kyoya explained.

"Well maybe once we fix your memory you can tell us." Haku said casually already knowing why Kyoya felt that way.

"I hope so." Kyoya responded.

Alright are we ready?" Aqua asked carrying 2 backpacks and wearing her backpack.

"I guess so," Chihiro answered a bit down casted "Is Granny not going to see us off?" she asked looking around.

"Of course I am" Zineba said walking toward the group. "I just had to find something for you and it took me some time." She explained.

"Find something for me?" Chihiro repeated in the form of a question.

"Yes, this" Zineba said holding out a necklace in the shape of a heart with wings and a dragon surrounding the heart. "Haku made this some time ago after you left. It's a special pendent, the heart repels harmful magic, the wings will guide you to anything you ask it (A/N: if she can't find someone then it can guide her to them.) and the dragon projects a shield if you're ever in danger."

"Wow, it's beautiful" Chihiro stated in awe as she took the necklace and admired it.

Haku walked over to where Chihiro was and held out his hand for the necklace. "I'll tie it for you" he told her as he took the necklace and tied it around Chihiro neck. "Never take it off when I'm not around it will protect you." He whispered to her.

"And you Kyoya I expect you to keep Aqua safe" Zineba stated winking to Aqua.

"Um… ok but I'm not much of a fighter." Kyoya responded.

"I figured as much so here." Zineba said handing Kyoya a sword with a golden handle and a dark blue sheath. "The person this sword belongs to always protected Aqua with it." She informed.

"Ok, then I promise to protect Aqua with my life." Kyoya promised taking the sword and strapping it to his back.

"Alright then, we should be on our way. Vine and Hekiro are early risers so they're probably already there." Aqua announced blushing slightly at Kyoya's words and started to walk away.

"Ok, goodbye Granny I'll see you in a few weeks." Chihiro said picking up her pink backpack and following Aqua.

"Goodbye, be safe." Zineba called back to her. "And Haku, don't you dare let anything happen to her." She warned.

"Don't worry I won't" Haku replied picking up his green backpack and following Chihiro. Kyoya followed without a word.

I wonder when Aqua will figure out she already broke the love spell and that the memory spell, just like with the spell on my golden seal, can only be broken by love. Zineba thought to herself as she watched the group walk away.

A/N: ok so I was late this time sorry about that but I was busy and my internet was down but it's back up now so yayz. Well hope you enjoyed and as always please review.
