A/N:… Kagari-chan reminds me of this again…well…I was going to put this up as another independent story…but, I have no idea where it will lead to…so I choose to throw it in the AU series ^^. And I'm feeling lazy…so, I divide it into two parts ^^.

Warning: My shitty English, AU, OOC-ness, characters death, gender bent…

Pairings: KaiShin (KaiShin FTW!...I finally understand the word FTW x3), AraideRan, HakuAo…for now ^^.

Disclaim: *dreams* I own everything in the world, include DC and MK! Muwahahahahaha-*wakes up*…Oh damn…

The Wedding, Part 1.

"Shhh, baby, don't cry…" a woman hushed quietly as she hugged her daughter tightly against her chest and she ran, as fast as her tired legs could carry her. Her once beautiful dress was tattered beyond image but she could careless…They were chasing her, the men in black and that mean…

…Yuusaku…

The name flashed through her mind and the blond woman bit back a choke. Her daughter's whimper had ceased…she had always been a good and quiet girl anyway, the mother smiled despite herself.

And she stumbled over a rock, with a surprised and painful yelp, the blond fell face first to the ground, her little girl was thrown off her arms to fall a few feet ahead.

Horror drew on her as she realized that she couldn't stand up, the blond frantically tried to crawl to her little girl, who was trying to stand up on her small wobble legs. The small girl's wide blue eyes looked at her mother, tears threatened to fall but she held them back.

She was so proud, her little girl was a strong girl. Smiling as she finally reached her daughter, the blond quickly hugged her child tightly.

"Mother's here…" she murmured then froze as she could hear them…they were getting closer and closer…she had to do something, quick!

Trying to stand up again and succeed this time, she quickly placed her daughter into a bush with a smile.

"I know you hate it…but baby, we're playing hide and seek…the seekers will come soon…so, stay quiet, okay?" her child nodded hesitantly and the blond used her dirty thumb to wipe away the brimming tears, getting those chubby and soft cheeks dirty.

"Mother's going to find another place to hide…" she murmured, "Promise you'll stay quiet…but do breath, dear," she chuckled when her girl sucked in a deep breath, ready to stop breathing altogether to stay quiet, "Promise me, okay?"

And when her girl nodded again, more firmly this time, she smiled proudly, "That's my girl…"

Then she started to run again, not once looking back at her child…or she was afraid she couldn't leave her…

Her burning legs gave up again, at least she was far from her child…a pair of black boots appeared before her view and she smiled as a sword was stabbed at her from behind…

…I'm sorry I can't fulfill my promise, Chi-chan…

Tears rolled down her cheeks as blood formed a thin line down her chin…

…Next life…I hope we can be sisters and friends again…

And her vision blurred as her husband appeared clearly before her eyes.

…Ah, how nice, Yuu-chan…You wait for me eh...?

Her smile weakened as he smiled sadly and held out his hand.

…I'm sorry for leaving you so soon but…Be safe and strong, my baby…

And when she took his hand, the last breath left Kudo Yukiko as her eyes closed and would never open again…

…everything was so quiet, the soft breeze gently caressed her face and she smiled in her sleep…ah, sleep…

"Shinri…? Wake up!" someone called her name and shook her shoulder none too gently. And Shinri could do nothing other than groan and crack her eyes open, to look at an angry Ran.

"Oh…Ran-neechan…"she sat up and yawned sleepily. Ran, her older sister, glared at her as she forgot to cover her mouth while yawning, Shinri only gave her a sheepish grin in return.

"Shinri…next time find a bed to sleep, stop sleeping out the field like this…" the older girl scolded her gently.

"Uh, the outside feels much nicer," the blue eyes girl reasoned as she and Ran stood up, brushing the dirt off their worn out dresses.

"But I'll try if it helps you stop worrying too much," she flashed her older sister a bright un-lady grin and Ran's eyes softened.

"By the way, why are you looking for me?" Shinri blinked and mentally checked if she had forgotten anything. That day wasn't her birthday, checked; she had fed the chickens and the pigs, checked…

Ran's eyes widened as she remembered the point of finding Shinri.

"Ah! Right! Father wants to see you!"

"What for?" Shinri blinked as the two started to walk home.

"I don't know…but he didn't sound really urgent…"

"Well, we'll found out once we get home then."

Her sister nodded and smiled as the two girls made their way to their home.

"Young Master! Stop your childish game and come out this instant!" a fuming young man yelled out while storming around the mansion, his once golden hair was a funny shade of pink and green, if possible.

"Good morning, Hakuba-sama," a maid bowed as he stormed past her and the young blond, oosp, once blond, smiled politely at her.

"Have you seen the Young Master?" he asked and the girl blinked.

"No sir, I have just come from the kitchen, so I don't know…"

Hakuba sighed then smiled at her again before walking off.

And as soon as he was out of earshot, the maid giggled then burst out laughing loudly while using the wall for support.

In a puff of smoke, a messy brown hair teen was there where the girl had been.

"I knew it!" he jumped when a triumph yell reached his ear.

He turned around with wide violet eyes to see Hakuba ran toward him, killing intention in his eyes.

'Oh shit,' he thought before breaking into a run, away from the fuming once blond.

"Get back here, Young Master!" Hakuba yelled and the other only turned his head side way to stick his tongue out.

"No way! The Math class is toooooooooooooooooooo boriiiiiiiing!"

"But you need it!"

"Nope!" he grinned and sped up, "Sorry Hakuba-chan~! But messing with the coming festival is much more fun!"

"Don't you dare!"

"Oh~? You can't stop me, y'know~!" and he disappeared in a puff of smoke, "Bye bye~!"

Then he was gone, Hakuba slowed down to stop running and groaned into his hands.

"…What am I going to tell the Mistress…?"
