A/N-This chappie was written by Princess Catgirl Hirelena aka Mariko. I gave her and Sora the option of writing their chappies because they have good ideas as well.

Disclaimer: Ok, please forgive me for the many mistakes I know I am going to have writing this. I haven't seen much of the anime sadly because when it first came out I was in elementary school and I watched 20/20 than, and my friend with the dvd's doesn't live close. So I apologize, also Im sorry for switching the names around, I like Cye instead of Shin, so please think of it as a pet name Mariko calls him, also I do not own the name Mariko or Kaguya. Mariko is from Kodocha, and Kaguya from Planet Ladder, both manga's you need to read!! Now, please enjoy my part of the fanfic!

Mariko Valtre and Shin Mori~*~
With a slight moan I wiggled back under the sheets "Morning already?"
Cye-kun? My fingers probed under the blankets to find a small plushy of Cye he made for me. With a smile I found it and sat up stroking its fake hair.
Cye? I knew he wouldn't be in bed the boy loves morning's. And since the refreshing I could not drag myself out of bed until 11, so it was obvious he wasn't around.
G'morning Mariko His soft voice reached my thoughts. Crawling out of our bed I pulled the thigh length white nightgown back down and retied the light blue bow around my waist which matched my eyes.
Where are you? I quickly made my way across the room and to the door not really caring if someone sees me.
Out getting a snack from the machine since to me its lunchtime Cye teased.
Hey you jerk I saved your butt so give me a break if I sleep to 11:20. And your weird for getting up at 7! I playfully shot back at him as I snuck out the door.
Alana…you dork! I giggled as I read the sign she posted on our door. I began walking down the hallway ignoring the scandalous looks I got from all the men and boys I saw.
Hey its not my fault you played with your Playstation2 half the night like Sora does Grinning I jumped around the corner to scare my mahogany haired cutie.
"Huh? Where di-" Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around me the scent of Cye's favorite shampoo tickled my nose.
"Hey you what are you doing outside the room with that on? Don't you think the guys will get the wrong impression" He chuckled holding me close.
"I don't really care what they think, we have nothing to hide" I smiled. Cye laughed letting me go and stroking my messy silver hair.
"Except that tattoo that Haven gave you right?"
"Hey hey hey, only the girls and you know where I got that"
"Hey Alana got it in the same place" His handsome face flushed a light color of red
"The kanji of faith right?" Nodding I smiled playfully.
"And you're the only guy I care about that saw it" Cye laughed quickly scooping me up in his arms.
"Go get changed we're leaving on a little trip" He placed a small kiss on my forehead.
Now it was my turn to blush as he carried me back to the room "To where?"
"One of my favorite places, and I know you'll love it just as much" With another quick motion he let me down and gave me a small push.
"Hurry up and dress warm this time!"
"I know I hate the cold!" I giggled shutting the door behind me. I raced to the closet and pulled out the nearest pair of pants and an American Old Navy long sleeves. At that moment I didn't care what I wore…
'These match right? So what does it matter right?'
Pulling the shirt over my heard I nabbed my school's band jacket and walked out of the door racing down the steps after my cutie.
"Wow dressed that fast?" He laughed as I pounced him from behind
"Yeah! Im curious where we are going" Cye wrapped a warm around me as we walked the streets
"Right there"
"The library, weee!" I giggled letting him go and dancing up the stairs to the old looking building. Sighing I let the cold wind pass through my hair combing it as my protector walked up the steps with a smile.
"Let's go in shall we?" He opened the door allowing me to pass under his arm.
"Woah…" Cye came up behind me and patted my head "Lots of books huh?"
"Its huge…" I whispered mesmerized stepping in as we made our way to the fiction section.
"…Later we can go get some hot coco and drink it home" Cye whispered as we walked the aisles.
"Oh whats this…" Turning I passed my index finger down a spine of a thick red book that caught my eye.
'The Legend of the Water Priestess' I sat down and opened the book
"That's pretty old looking…'The Legend of the Water Priestess' huh?" Cye sat down next to me on the floor with a cooking book in hand.
"In…In times long ago in a world not known to many there thrived a kingdom of human sized water sprites." I softly read as my head began to feel funny…light.
"Among these sprites there lived one mistress of the water-" With a sigh I laid on my side, the pain building up in my head was getting to much for me to handle.
"Mariko? Mariko??" Cye's voice slowly began to grow fainter and fainter into I fell into a pit of darkness.
Cye…Cye? I could feel myself losing it and grow desperate to hear his voice.
Shin?...Shin…? A soft voice like a melody replaced my voice as a scene appeared before my eyes.
Wow…So much water Cye would love it… Round pieces of land that had waterfalls flowing from it floated around a sparkling sun filled beaches stretched miles on end.
"Whoa! What am I floating into?" I cried as I realized I was slowly falling down into a crystal-like ceiling.
"So who is coming to the palace?" The voice I heard a few minutes ago filled my ears again as I saw a teen almost my age walk into the huge room I found myself in.
'She's pretty…' The girl had shoulder-length raven black hair with two small fist sized buns, and her eyes were a soft shining green. She wore a baby blue bikini top tied at the shoulders and same color cloth skirt that didn't even come to her thigh. But what were most interesting about her was the delicate transparent green fairy wings that spread from her back.
'Wait isn't that my necklace…?'
"M'lady, the Warrior of the Torrent is arriving today" Another lady walked in and babbled.
'Warrior of the Torrent? Isn't that Cye?' I thought as I ritually touched my transforming gem that dangled from a gold chain.
"Oh the trainee, wonderful, I heard he was cute!" The teen laughed floating off the floor and out of the room with the lady right hot on her heels. As soon as her foot left the vision shimmered and morphed to the beach.
"Shin, I want to thank you…" The soft voice filled my ears as I saw the girl hover down the sandy beach next to a tall man dressed in familiar armor.
'That's the Armor of the Torrent! But who is that in there?' Floating in one position wasn't much help in my situation I concluded.
"No trouble Lady Kaguya, I'm glad I could help you" A deep voice answered back.
"That sounds a little like my Cye…" I whimpered trying to peer under the mask from my safe position a distance way.
"I wonder what this is anyway…Lets analyze the situation shall we Mariko? I mean how hard is this to understand, cant be harder than installing Unix…We have a girl that has my gem necklace that helps me to transform, she is also ultra important in this city of water. And we have a cutie impersonating my Warrior of the Torrent…Ma-" I stopped mid-sentence as the man took off his helmet armor and reveled a mane of dark brown hair, his head tilted allowing me to see the most piercing blue eyes I have ever seen…Except on Cye of course…
"Maybe they are our previous-previous owners of the Armor…" I mused and than with a small giggle I saw the couple kiss "And they where in love like us…Wonder what happened…" Suddenly a huge explosion filled the air and the beautiful clear skies turned blood red and I heard people screaming.
"Shin! Shin!!" Kaguya screamed as I saw her desperately trying to pull the limp warrior from the tide.
"…No…Shin's relative…" The now women pulled the body in her already blood stained arms gasping I realized her gorgeous proud fairy wings where torn or full of holes.
"Why…Why didn't you let me help you?" She sobbed playing with his hair. Battle cries where heard from behind me and I saw the once crystal blue waterfalls run red but the saddest scene where the two lovers…
"My dear Ka-gu-ya…You saw a-all your friends die…I didn't want you-t-to see mine…Protect the little o-one" His raspy voice got worst as he was speaking but it didn't matter, he was…dying…
"No Shin…I save you I can cure you with my water spells…" Kaguya muttered passing her hands across the body but his armored hand took hers
"No…don't, I refuse to let you die trying to save me…Save the child…Save you-" I cried wiping the tears from my eyes as was my counter part.
"I refuse to save myself when I couldn't save you…Curse those Dark Lords from the Sky…" Beaten both physically and mentally she stood up slowly shedding both blood and tears as she pulled her hands together and sang. Her stomach glowed into a ball that flew up beside me hovered than up into the heavens.
"The child…" I whispered in awe but the Lady spoke dramatically.
"I shall save our born but I shall fight and I shall lose with grace along side of you…" And with that everything slowly grew black until I fell into the same deep sleep.
"Mariko! Mariko!" I felt myself being shaken as I slowly opened my eyes meeting a set of crystal blue ones. Without thinking I threw my arms around him and sobbed
"Shin! I love you…" Just as suddenly I blinked and removed my arms confused.
"What was that about Mariko?" He asked just as confused at my strange behavior
"I don't know…Where's the book?!" I cried searching around suddenly. Cye eyed me but bended down beside the bed in the Library's health room.
"It fell, Mariko what's going on"
"That book it tells us of ou-" A huge light flashed surprising Cye out of his chair. Wide eyed I watched a handsome black haired man rise up beside my bed with a smirked he peered at me.
"Ah the daughter of Kaguya, pretty little thing you are Priestess of Water" He said in a deep melting tone. Blushing I softly growled
"Who are you and how do you know my Mother of the Armor?"
"Ah she was just as beautiful, especially the moment when I killed her and her worthless people. Such pride she had, and my name is Kuro…"
"You…You killed her…?" I asked weakly.
"What's going on Mariko?" Cye stood his ground pulling out his gem likewise I touched mine hanging around my neck.
"Relax Torrent I don't want you I want your Priestess" He took my wrist and yanked, and with me just coming to not to long ago I didn't have the strength to fight back as he forced me to change into my Spirit uniform.
"Cye…" I sighed as Kuro lifted me up in the air opening a portal
"No! You cant!" The Warrior of the Torrent cried unable to do anything.
"Can and did with The Sister of Lighting…" He laughed pulling us into the portal and complete darkness.
Cye reached out for my arm, "Mariko!" He exclaimed, his hand grabbing onto mine.
"Fine then," The man chuckled, "I'll take both of you! It won't matter to my master!" He exclaimed, sucking us in.
*sighs* 2 46 am Dor and I am done ^_^ I hope you enjoyed it!! I always wanted to write this. Its my thoughts on the origins of the Armor, the baby was born but since it's a diff. mommy that bore the child Cye/Mariko are not related.
Love much,
Princess Catgirl Hirelena
