"Sakuya's" week had been going smoothly, except for her mission. She couldn't get Trunks and Pan together for more than a minute or two.
She'd even settle for a "blind date" for them. That would be difficult however. She dismissed the thought from her mind. An event from earlier in the week she couldn't get out of her head had been bothering her.
Flash back
"Thanks for lunch Trunks." I said after I had agreed earlier today that I'd meet him for lunch.
"No problem." He said and smiled at me with his usual grin.
It was at that moment when I noticed he was looking into my eyes, normally it wouldn't have bothered me but today it did. (Author's note: Imagine the spirit's human eyes as anime eyes the way they look in sailor moon with no pupil about to die or controlled by evil ya know that kind of eye?)
His eyes were so normal with life and mine were dull and soulless.
"I am *not* a human why do I care?" I thought.
End Flash Back
I was so unfamiliar with these "emotions" as they are called. I grew restless to be free. So I cut class and went down to the park a block from my house.
I sat on a bench near a river.
I looked at the river so calm and relaxing so peaceful and beautiful such a wonder of nature.
I stood up and glanced down at the water. I expected to see my human self. I saw my normal self though. I yearned to be my spirit form. I did not want to carry out my mission. How unlike of me it was to disobey. I knew I could destroy whatever evil threatened Earth or the universe.
"So why don't I? I can do what ever I please!" The thought's shear audacity made me shiver with excitement. I realized though it I wasn't doing what I should for the council. I was doing it for The Light. The Light was what truly kept the universe in balance and bestowed my power along with my sister elements. All this to stop The Dark.
And The Dark new of our plan! I was sure! and the council would be in danger I should have realized this earlier! With that I shot up toward the sky in my spirit form. I am The Firey.
All that was up there was rubble. I had been to late.
"Firey under here!" a weak voice said.
I turned around. It was one of my sisters The Windy.
"Sister!" I said gleefully while hers remained blank. And found her fallen against a wall beaten up and fading. Spirits do not truly die just disappear until they are called for again and if not called for they do not exist until then.
My cheer turned into despair in a moment too.
"No? it isn't so! No!" I shouted.
Windy nodded. My sisters; The Watery and The Earthy gone until called on again. A moment later Windy faded to in a wave of white glitter. Leaving me alone.
I was utterly grief stricken. I felt a tap on my should. Behind me was The Light apparently she had been safe guarded.
"Why?" I asked
The Light said nothing. I felt my anger rise but that was all.
"Please Firey protect Earth? See Dende and remember Love"-
she began.
The light was hit from behind. She fell forward.
The Dark stood behind her.
Again I asked: "Why?" But Dark had no feeling not like any I had felt just cold and destroying and lonely. That was my, my human eyes! Truly soulless without-
The Light lay on the ground. I knew she would go into hiding. She ported herself out.
At my feet she left a bow. The Golden Bow. I turned my stare towards The Dark. I was now destiny's Guardian. I bow flew into my hands. The Dark raised her hand, not for defense but with no emotion plainly said:
"Later Guardian, now is not the time of battle." And disappeared. My feelings raced across me in a million different things.
Needless to say my first action was going straight to Dende's. I was in such a rush I used teleportation, which I could do for long distances, but only near the council.
Mr. Popo was tending the flowers when I appeared.
"Where is Dende?" I asked impatiently only later I realized how freighting I sounded.
Mr. Popo trembled and said: "He's with Piccolo."
Dende was with Piccolo that was all I needed. I bowed and left leaving Mr. Popo very confused.
I used my extraordinary sense and located Piccolo. I flew for a while until Dende and Piccolo came into view. Piccolo was speaking with the younger Namaken and then began to spar with himself. I knew very well Piccolo would let me even get so much as near Dende as I was now. I reverted to human form in a Gi. I used instant transmission and found myself beside Dende.
Dende gasped and Piccolo saw me. As I expected Piccolo charged. I closed my eyes and concentrated, Piccolo went right through me, and I allowed Piccolo to pass through my body.
Piccolo began a Ki blast. Surprised at me for not attacking too.
"Piccolo I have no intention of hurting you or Dende please stop this now!" I shouted.
Piccolo looked somewhat confused. I turned around and knelt before Dende.
"Please The Light has told me to see you Guardian of Earth." I said
"The Light? That myth?" I said in awe.
"No myth not at all." I answered.
I showed my true form before them all.
"The Earth is in trouble ne?" Dende told me.
"Indeed." I said.
"You must be looking for Goku and-
"No, I was told to seek out you Light mentioned love and that was all I heard."
"I…I don't know what to do about that" Dende admitted.
"Nani! Nothing? It cannot be" my words failed me.
I departed again. This time to Gohan.
I stood in front the Gohan's family home spirit and all. I phased through the door. Videl and Pan were in the kitchen near the front door. Both gasped in shock.
"Please where is Gohan?" I asked while both woman still were in shock.
I turned human again this time to the sailor schoolgirl outfit with elf ears.
"Sakuya?" Pan asked
Videl had only seen me once or twice as this but looked like she semi-recognized me.
"I am Sakuya", I said.
The door behind me opened, and Gohan stepped in
"Hi honey- he began but quickly stopped when he saw me.
"Long time no see 'eh?" I said.
