*~* Was it all just a dream? *~*
As the power that had just as quickly gathered, it dispersed.
The pendant had stopped its movement. Kyuuei looked at her aunt
with fearful eyes.
"What just happened?" she asked.
"Tell me, what were you thinking of when the pendant did that?"
Hitomi had an idea of what might have happened, but wasn't sure.
"Well....my dream, of that strange world. But only for a few
seconds really. What difference could that make?" What did
that have to do with the strange occurrence?
"More than you could imagine...."
"What do you me...."
"Your powers are very new, but strong. We must develop it and
then perhaps, we shall solve the mystery." Kyuuei looked at her
aunt blankly.
"My...powers? Aunt Hitomi, what do you mean, I don't have THE
GIFT...."
"I really can't explain it exactly since you should have been
younger when these powers should have shown. I'm not even
sure it's THE GIFT, but it's strong. If it isn't THE GIFT...
then I just don't know what we can do. But I felt much
power from you." What name COULD you give it?
"Was that the end of our lesson?" came Kyuuei's hopeful comment.
"End...of...our...lesson?" 'Not so soon!' But Hitomi sighed
and decided to give in, it was for the best after such an event.
"I suppose it should be...." Hitomi thought for a moment,
hoping that it was the right thing to do. Lately, no visions
had come to her, to guide her.
"Thank you!!! hehehe...I mean...too bad...but you know...all
work and no play...makes Kyuuei cranky!" Both laughed.
"All right, why don't we go to the park, I want to show you
some things." The young girl nodded at this idea. "Glad you
agree then. Let's pack a picnic basket, all right?"
"Sounds great!!!" Hitomi chuckled, young girls, was she like
Kyuuei was 10 years ago?
"You bring the drinks, and I'll take care of the rest of the }
things. Sound OK to you, Kyuuei?"
"Of course! I'll bring 2L of fruit punch!"
"All right. I'm going to keep what I'm bringing a secret
for now." The two of them vacated the room, turning to their
duties.
~At the Park~
"Ok. We're the only ones here. Why don't we sit by this
tree...it's where the beginning of the race track used to be."
"So this whole park, used to be your school?"
"Yes..." Hitomi looked to the sky for a few seconds, reminiscing
of a time, 10 years past.
"Aunt Hitomi?" Kyuuei was watching her aunt, what was going on?
"Oh...yes...."
"What did you want to show me?"
She blanched for a minute. "Oh my!!!! I forgot! The journal!
That's what I wanted to show you...it's on my dresser!"
"That's what happened in..." Kyuuei broke off, biting her tongue.
"In what dear?"
"...nothing... Can I come and help?"
"No, then we'd have to bring everything back...Stay here, I
won't be long." Hitomi rushed back home.
"Now what? The dream is coming true? How can this be?" She
walked around the picnic area, thinking, "Fine, I just won't
think about it...that's it...I just won't think about it..."
She paced up and around. "Maybe I can ask Aunt Hitomi where
she was taken up to Gaea from the race tracks...maybe we
can test my ability there....NO!!! Don't think about it!!!"
But the more she resisted, the more she thought about her dreams
and their connection with what happened ten years ago. Kyuuei
had an idea.
"Concentrate on Aunt Hitomi and Gaea...maybe that will help me
envision what happened." ~Hitomi~ - ~10 years ago~ ~the School~
~Race Track~ ~Gaea~ Kyuuei suddenly pointed to the sky, not
sure of what she was doing. Something shot out from the sky,
making Kyuuei look up.
"It couldn't be...is this a dream? Is this Aunt Hitomi's
past?" But there was no school, no race track, no Amano,
no Van, or dragon...just her and the lightt.
"Then..." The descended upon her, engulfing her with its
ethreal glow.
"Oh no!!! Aunt Hitomi, HELP!!!" The light grew brighter, and
as it fully surrounded her, it shot upwards taking Kyuuei, and
her glowing pendant with it.
~At Hitomi Kanzaki's House~
"I can't believe I forgot this!" She lifted her journal off of
the dresser. As she did so, her pendant suddenly materialized in
front of her.
"What...." She had left her pendant to Van, hoping that it would
be kept safe in his hands. And here she found that it had been
sent to her once again.
And the only times her pendant would glow was when a magic linked to
it was in use. Suddenly, a vision of Kyuuei and a light entered
Hitomi's mind.
"Oh NO!!! KYUUEI!!!" She had promised her sister that she would
take care of Kyuuei. How could she do that when Kyuuei was on
Gaea, while SHE was here on Earth?!
"Why now? Why was I not sent a vision? Why is she all
alone..." She sobbed helplessly, who would be able to hear her?
What would happen to Kyuuei?
"I must go to the park, to see if....anything remains..." When
Hitomi had disappeared, time went on strangely. Amano paged her
a few days after her arrival on Gaea. Then, when she was taken
back to Earth, it was as if she had never left it, but for a
few minutes. Would that happen to Kyuuei? And Amano and
Yukari...she never saw them again. And something told her, she
never would. Those two disappeared after Hitomi had come back,
everyone thought that they had eloped...but they never found
out.
"Everyone is leaving me...again...." Hitomi cried herself to
sleep that night, her thoughts on her family and friends, all
gone now.
~Somewhere on Gaea~
As if waking from a dream Kyuuei dazedly looked around her.
"Where am I?" She slowly stood up and got a better look.
"Can this be the park?" She shook her head, the shrubs where
all different now. "...then I'm...dreaming!" Kyuuei pinched
herself. "YOWWW!!!!" It wasn't the intensity of her pinch
that made yer yell, but a pebble that had struck her on the
head.
"HEY! Who threw that?!" Rubbing her head, she slowly looked
around her. "Hello? You could have killed me you know! OR
at least injured me!" To her right, she heard a rustling
sound.
"Gomen nasai, milady. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was aiming
for a black crow. But, I hit you instead. My father has
been showing me how to shoot, I just can't seem to get it right
however. Please let me express my greatest apologies." Kyuuei
stared at the young man. He was slightly taller than she, and
of medium build. He had light blonde hair, and deep blue eyes.
He wore something that might have come out of medieval times.
A loose white shirt, and a green vest over it, accompanied with
forest green pants. Noticing her gaze, the strange introduced
himself.
"Eriondehs. At your service milady. You may call me Dehs if
you want to."
"Uh....sure....Erion....Dehs..." She looked at him, thinking.
"Do you have a name?" His question caught her off guard, that
she jumped. Then she started to laugh.
"Oh my...I'm not lauhing at you...I'm sorry...I was just
surprised, that's all. My name is Kyuuei. Kyuuei de le Ciel."
"What a beautiful name, Ms. Ciel."
"Ky will be just fine, Dehs...after all....you let me shorten
your name."
"I think I'll just call you Kyuuei, it wouldn't be right to
call you Ky, after hitting you on the head like that." Kyuuei
smiled, amazed at his chivalry and politeness.
"Well, I suppose, if we can get to know each other better,
you'll be able to call me Ky." For some reason, Dehs blushed.
"Uh...yes....to help you for your troubles....why don't you
join me at home, and let my dad have a look at you?"
"I...uh...guess...."
Dehs whistled two long notes and three short ones. From the same
side that he had emerged from earlier, a large black stallion came.
"His name is Bluefire...." Kyuuei gazed long and hard at the large
stallion. Bluefire snorted, and reared back.
"...please...don't be afraid...I won't hurt you...." she whispered
to the rearing stallion. Bluefire calmed down, and nuzzled his snout
against her shoulders. *giggle* "..you're a good boy..." *giggle*
Dehs gazed at the scene that Kyuuei and Bluefire made....Bluefire had
never been so manageable before.
"Kyuuei, you have a way with him I see...I'm glad...at least now, I
don't have to worry about him throwing us off because he doesn't know
you...."
"Do you mean for us to ride him, then?"
"Yes..."
"Is that ok with you Bluefire?" The horse snorted an agreement, it was
all right.
"Bluefire is allowing us to ride him to your home." Dehs was astounded
by both Kyuuei and Bluefire's actions....never before had he seen
Bluefire like this, affected by a girl!
"Uh yes....we better get going now, I suppose...." Dehs motioned to
Kyuuei to climb onto Bluefire's back. She shook her head. "What's the
matter now?"
"I don't know how to ride a horse, I've never had the opportunity to
try." Dehs gave a strangeld sigh.
"All right, I'll show you how to mount him then." Dehs, helped her
to the saddle. "First, place your right foot in the right stirrup...."
After a few minutes, Kyuuei was sitting in the saddle comfortably,
and Dehs had mounted up behind her. "Is this ok?"
"Ah....yes...." *blush*
"Well, I suppose we should get going now. Giddyup." Bluefire started
at a fast gallop.
"Wow...I never knew that riding a horse, would be so calm....this feels
so cool!"
As the day wore on, even Kyuuei's jolly mood softened, she began to
become very tired. *YAWN* Flashes of a man's face reverberated
through her mind....black hair....blue eyes....and Hitomi... *YAWN*
She leaned back against something soft, murmuring something about
a pendant...a light...
"Sleep tight... my friend ..." Dehs whispered into her ear, and held
her in his arms tightly, keeping her safe from the jolts in the road.
