'…' thoughts

[…] flashback

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ameri: "Chaos, I just cant believe she's gone…Chaos are you feeling alright?"

Ameri placed her hand on Chaos' head.

Chaos: "Huh? Oh. Sorry, I'm not used to being called that yet…"

Ameri: "Would you prefer me to call you Rhiannon?"

Chaos: "No…I hate that name…"

Chaos gazed up to the blue sky above her. Edna was dead. The kind old woman who had taken her in. The woman that helped her control her powers. Kenji was dead to. Ameri didn't know that though.

'She never will' Thought Chaos.

[Edna lay on her bed her white hair strewn across her pillow.

Edna: Chaos…Rhiannon…whoever you decide you are, you must take care of Ameri. I know you two are close in age….but Ameri is hunted. Everyone will come for her as soon as I leave this cursed earth. You understand? I have taught you everything you know since I first found you in the plane crash. You know what is most important, tell me."

Chaos: "To protect Ameri. I must protect her from anyone, her safety is the most important thing."

Edna: "Yes! that's it! Kenji taught you well, you are very capable of taking on anyone, you know the mission. You know your powers. You know what must be done."

Chaos: "Yes…"

The door opened slowly and Ameri looked in hesitantly. She then ran forward throwing her arms around the old woman.

Ameri: "Oh Edna! Why do you have to go? You'll be alright, wont you? Please don't leave Edna."

But Edna was already gone. Forever]

Chaos: "Its just me and you now, kid."

Ameri nodded silently.

They were seated on a hill, the grass was a most pleasant green.

Chaos: "Get up. You need to learn how to fight."

Ameri: "I don't want to fight."

Ameri stood and spun around in a circle.

Ameri: "I will be a peaceful maiden until I grow old. Then I will become a hermit and live in the mountains!"

Chaos: "That's nice and all. But there will be a time when you have to fight. And I don't think that will be accomplished in the dress your wearing.

Ameri: "But what if I meet a nice, handsome, strong, man to take care of me and protect me?"

Chaos: "Stop living in your fairytale world. There is no one on this earth that is anything like that."

Ameri: "YOU'RE here to protect me! Its your job"

Chaos: "I might not always be around. I'll just teach you easy stuff. Poison, daggers, and a little bit of fighting. Agreed?"

Chaos didn't wait for a response, she was already walking back to their cottage to get the things needed.

Ameri frowned and soon followed.

Kuwabara: "Cant you tell us anything else about the mission?"

Koenma: "Like?"

Kuwabara blinks

Kuwabara: "Well…uh…Why are we after them, what are their names, what are their powers, and do I have to walk there?"

Koenma: "Botan, I'll give you the privilege of answering those questions."

Botan: "Well, lets see. As you know we are at war. One of them holds the secret of winning. We don't know their name or their powers and you will have to walk unless you all want to ride with me on my oar."

All four exchanged glances.

Yusuke: "How long is the walk?"

Botan smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of her neck.

Botan: "Well. Uhm, it should take about 4 weeks."

Kuwabara: "Four weeks?! Of walking?! How long on the oar?"

Botan: "5 days."

Kurama: "I think that's settled. We're walking."

Hiei: "Do we have to stay together?"

Koenma: "Absolutely yes."

Kurama: "When do we start?"

Koenma: "Now. We are providing you with some food, binoculars, and 1 lifejacket."

Everyone except Hiei and Koenma: -.-;

(Emmy: I know I'm skipping months and years and this is all pretty confusing and hard to understand but you'll get it later.)
