**SCHOOL DAY ONCE AGAIN**
Hiyiko, and Kyohaku, walked down the street to their school. They discused the the issue of the new senshi. Well Kyohaku did... Hiyiko just complained that she had to go to school. They walked onto school property, and Hiyiko ran into the school, to meet her new friends, and Kyohaku just slowly trailed behind, as she stared at the building, wishing that she wouldn't have to put up with the glare of the peoples eyes. But she walked into the school anyway, trying to remember what Kakeru said to her...That she wasn't starnge, or mean.
'' Class... Please take your seats, we will be writting our reports on something fun,we will be writting reports on someone famous! Or you can write a report on someone you look up to!'' The class cheered as the teacher handed out blank sheets of paper. ''The reports have to at least five pages long, or two thousand words... Thats the minimum! The project will be due, in about two weeks" The class groaned, but Ami, and Kyohaku sat silently, and then Kyohaku raised her hand.
'' Yes Kyohaku, Did you have a question?''
'' If five pages is the minimum, what is the maximum?''
'' Maximum? Oh well if you can exceed five pages, write as much as you can!'' The teacher pronounced to the class. She smiled at Kyohaku. " Oh yes.. The marks from the quiz yesterday, will be posted outside the classroom at the end of the day.'' Again the day went by quickly, although Kyohaku still got glares from other people, she tried to ignore them, but she still had trouble adjusting to the other kids, she couldn't wait to get home, and fall into the arms of her love. She knew her sister couln't wait to get out of school, and go to the arcade, and see Motoki, then she would just hang around him, and her friends once again... not caring about the school work the teacher assigned for next week. The bell rang, and everyone ran to the hallway to see what they got on the Quiz. The students crowded around the door, but Ami, Usagi, Makoto, and Hiyiko stood near the back and waiteed 'til everyone left, and the hallway was empty. Kyohaku didn't care much about her mark, so just slowly walked out the door. The girls looked at Ami.
'' Of course Ami is going to get the highest mark in the class... Again!'' Usagi laughed.
'' She always does!'' Makoto replied.
'' You know.. If you studied a little bit more you could get a good mark too!'' Ami joked as she pointed out her remark to Usagi, But they all laughed. Then they all looked at the board to check there marks, Usagi ran her finger from the bottom of the list to the top. She found her own name, Tskino Usagi, near the bottom, Tsukito Hiyiko was near Usagi's name. Makoto found her own name near the middle, but when Usagi put her finger to the top of the list, Ami's name wasn't there. Mizuno Ami, was the second name from the top to appear.
'' If Ami got the second highest score, then who got the first?'' Asked Makoto. Usagi put her finger to the very top, and she read the name outloud.
'' Tsukito Kyohaku...'' Usagi trailed of and then turned around. '' She must of cheated!!! Nobody can get a higher score the Ami!!!'' Usagi yelled in the middle of the hallway. '' Come on, if we hurry we can catch up to her, and see what she's up to!!'' Hiyiko now knew how her sister felt.
'' You guys can go and spy on her if you like... But I'm going to the arcade!'' She replied simply. So they other three girls went to go and catch up to Kyohaku.
Kyohaku was walking down the street, with her white kitten beside her. She laughed at Star who proudly pranced down the street. Kyohaku paused to catch her breath, her stomach began to hurt, from laughing so much. When she stopped she noticed a patch of bloomed red roses by the side walk, she stood and looked down at them, and then put her bag down.
Ami, Usagi, and Makoto weren't far behind. They perched themselves behind a fance, close enough so that they could see Kyohaku, but far enough so they could run away if she saw them. They all watched her as she stood be the roses, her little cat still prancing around Kyohaku's feet.
'' What's she up to?'' Asked Usagi.
'' I don't know... '' Ami said.
'' She's just standing there...'' Makoto continued.
Kyohaku's kitten, Star, still pranced around Kyohaku's bag, and accidently knocked it over, and her books came flying out... But Kyohaku didn't mind, she kept her eyes on the roses, and their delicate petal, and soft colour. Then she heard the clang of her locket hit the ground, and bounce into the flowers. Kakeru wasn't far away, he was about a block or two away, and could notice Kyohaku, but he didn't really know what she was up to. Kyohaku then bent down to get her locket, which fell into the center of the rose patch. When she came down her knees had fallen on the thorns, and blood started to come out of the little pricks that the thorns had made. Her uniform had blood stains all over, but she sat there, and stared at her locket. It was a star, exactlky the shape that her name meant, it was gold, and silver, and had a tiny moon in the center. And it just lay gently on the roses. Usagi, and the others were still trying to find out what she was doing, and Kakeru started to jog down the street, he to was trying to figure out what she was doing. Kyohaku then put her hand out to pick up her locket, but then it flung open, and a chiming music flooded the area...
** FLASHBACK**
Kyohaku fell to the ground as the war began, her flowing dress began to turn red with blood, and she started to cry. her friends came to comfort her, with open arms and then the view of their mother, Queen Serenity, came and sacraficed herself.
**END OF FLASHBACK**
She pulled the locket close to her heart, and sat in the bush of thorns, her eyes closed, and she sat and breathed in, and out deeply. Ami then stood up, from the other side of the fence, and sighed. She looked and Kyohaku had tears, streaming down her face. the tears then fell to the ground, and landing on the petals of the roses. Kyohaku then picked up a rose, and silently whispered to herself,
'' I will find you, and I'll never give up...'' Kakeru, then picked up his pace, and started to run towards his love. Ami then came up to Kyohaku, and knealt down beside her, Usagi and Makoto did the exact same thing. They then opened their arms, and hugged her, and Kyohaku sat silent and still, as tears kept flowing, she felt safe and warm when there were people beside her to comfort her, she had to admit to that. Her locket was now closed, but she still held it tightly. and close to her heart. Kakeru had finally reached Kyo, and the other girls had backed away. As they did, Kyohaku no longer felt safe and secure, but she felt empty, and left in a world all alone, trapped with no way out. She stood up from the bushes, and Kakeru stared at her knees, the skin had been torn away, and blood had come seeping through her uniform. She turned to face him, but her eyes stayed closed, and she could still feel tears running down her face.
'' I'm sorry...'' Kyohaku whispered silenty, and got ready to open her eyes, and return to the new world, but when she tried, everything turned black, and she had fell to the ground. Kakeru started to panic, and droped down beside her, he then lifted Kyohaku into his arms. The girls looked at him, and Ami looked down at the ground, feeling guilty for ever thinking that Kyohaku cheated on the test, How could she? With a complicated life, And so little time for herself, and the fact that she was always apoligizing, how could she? Ami glanced over at her friends, who stared at Kyohaku, they did feel guilty to, She could tell from the look in their eyes. Usagi then clutched her hand into a fist, and looked at Kakeru, who tried to wake up Kyo.
''I'll be right back...'' Usagi told them, she ran behind the fence once again, and pulled out her comunicator. ''Haruka???........... Are you there? Haruka???''
''Yeah.... What do you want?'' Haruka tried to ask politly.
'' We have a problem.... ''
'' And what might that be?'
'' Our friend fainted, and she's not waking up, could you pick us up with your car?''
'' Yeah, I'll be over in a minute... What street are you on?''
'' Were on Utsanomia, and Takori.... Thanks so much.'' Usagi closed her gold comunicator, and ran back over to Kyohaku. ''Haruka, our friend is coming over to pick us up, Your apartment is a bit far, but we could go to the Hikawa Shrine... A friend of ours lives there, and Kyohaku can rest there for now. '' Kakeru nodded in response, as he picked her up and sat on the curb, he gently placed Kyo in his lap, until Haruka, and Michiru pulled up in a yellow sports car., They all shifted and quickly made room for Kyohaku, and Kakeru. Kakeru was almost in tears, seeing his only love in this state. He buried his face into her golden hair, and whispered words of comfort. Ami, feeling the guiltiest of them all, sat next to Kakeru, and tried to cheer him up, but it didn't work.
Haruka tried to drive to the Shrine as fast as possible. When they had finally got there, Haruka helped Kakeru bring Kyo up the stairs to reach the temple doors. When they had reached the top, Kakeru sat down again, with Kyohaku in his lap. Usagi ran around the temple checking every room, to find her best friend Rei. Usagi had made her way, just about all the way around the Hikawa Shrine, with no trace of Rei, and now Usagi started to get worried that her friend wasn't here. She ran as fast as she could all the way back to the other girls, They had all seated themselves on a bench beside Kakeru, who still had Kyo in his lap.
'' Ami.. Rei isn't here.. Where could she be?'' Usagi asked Ami.
'' Well, what time is it now?'' Ami asked Makoto, who glanced at her green wrist watch on her left hand.
'' I think that its about three thirty....'' Makoto replied.
'' USAGI!!!! Rei doesn't get out of school till three thirty!!!" Ami yelled back at Usagi.
'' Oh...'' She simply replied.
'' We'll have to wait for her to come here, it won't take that long...'' Makoto said in between Ami's and Usagi's argeument. They all waited for about five minutes, but Haruka, and Michiru had to leave, to take an afternoon class, and Mugen high. So the rest of the gang sat and watched as Kakeru sat and cried into Kyohaku's hair. Ami then glanced over at Kyohaku again. Her face that once carried a bright glow was as pale as Kakeru's crisp wite lab coat.
Rei then started to make her way up the stairs, ad she saw her friends, and two strangers. She ran towards them in her uniform, carrying her bag full of books, and homework.
''Usagi... Who are these peolpe?'' Rei asked, as she glanced over at the man crying into a girls hair.
'' Rei, there is no time for that!!! We need you to lend us one of the shrine rooms, please, we'll explain everything after!!!'' Usagi asked as she almost burst into tears from just watching Kakeru. Rei nodded in response, and Quickly took everyone into a spasious room, decorated with branches of cherry blossoms in vases everywhere. Kakeru gently placed Kyo on the neatky made bed, and pulled the blue covers over her. Kakeru knealt down beside her bed, and clamped her hand, Rei then signaled everyone to come out, and give him his personal space.
'' Who is she?'' Rei asked the girls, who had brought her here.
'' Her name is Kyohaku Tsukito... " Ami glanced at the floor, feeling really guilty, that the pit of her somach started to twist and turn.
'' What happened? How come she fainted?'' Rei was curious of the stranger, who she had accepted into her her home.
'' We were following her around, and she feel into some roses, and she started to cry, we don't know why, but then when she stood up, she just keeled over... '' Makoto replied, and tried to give all the details to Rei.
'' Hey... does Kyoahku have any relation?'' Rei asked Usagi, who was staring at the sliding door that lead into the room.
'' Yes... she does!! Rei can I use your phone?''
'' Yeah sure!'' Rei replied back. The girls ran down the hallway to the little table with a black phone on it. Usagi quickly dialed the number to the arcade, and Minako picked up the phone.
'' Hello, crown arcade, How may I help you?'' Asked Minako.
'' Minkao?!?!? Why did you answer the phone at the arcade??'' Asked Usagi.
'' Motoki is off in the corner with some girl... ''
''Tell him to come to the phone this instant!!'' Rei yelled in the backround.
'' Sure.. I'll get him right away...'' Minako replied to Rei's comment. Minako ran over to Motoki, with an expression on her face.
'' Oh Hi Minako... This is Hiyiko... My new girlfriend. '' He replied as he looked deep into her eyes.
'' Motoki, the phone is for you...'' Minako sighed as she told him and he left Hiyiko to answer it, but she soon got up and followed him.
'' Mmhuh... Mmhuh.. Yeah just a minute..'' Motoki put his hand over the phone, and then handed it to Hiyiko. '' Usagi want's to talk to you...'' He quickly trailed off and then looked down at the floor.
'' Hello, this is Hiyiko speaking. '' She said as she held the phone close to her ear.
'' Hiyiko... This is Usagi, There's an emergency!!''
'' Why.... What happened?'' Hiyiko asked with a very worried tone.
'' It's your sister....'' Usagi tried to say.
'' What's wrong with her?!?! What happaned?!?!'' Hiyiko asked, and almost started to cry, just trying to think of what might of happened to one of her only sisters.
'' She fainted... I know it doesn't sound like much... But she hasn't waken up yet!!!'' Usagi started to panic.
'' Where are you?'' Asked Hiyiko.
'' At the Hiwaka Shrine!!"'
'' I'll be over as soon as I can....'' Hiyiko told Usagi and then hung up. She looked at Motoki, and then fell onto the couch with her face buried in her hands. Motoki came up to her and started to rub her back to comfort hre.
'' I don't know what I am going to do..... Sure she's fainted before... But she always gets back on her feet right away.... What if there is really something wrong with her, and then...... I'll never see her again!!!'' She sobbed even harder.
'' It's okay..... Everything will be all right. Did Usagi tell you where she was?'' Motoki asked Hiyiko as he tried to calm her down.
'' She said the she and the girls were at the Hikawa Shrine...'' She looked up at Motoki.
'' Lets see.... My shift doesn't end gor another hour, so I can't leave yet... But you might want to leave right away... Do you know wher that Shrine is? '' Motoki asked her. But she shook her head as a definite no. Motoki looked at the floor, and then up again into Hiyiko's eyes. He smiled. "Everything will be fine...'' He then started to scan the arcade, checking person by person. His eyes quickly stopped as he reached Minako. Hiyiko buried her face once again, and tried to think. ' If I can get through to her... Maybe then she would come back....' Hiyiko let her body go into another world, While Motoki tried to find a way for Hiyiko to get to the Shrine.
'' Minako..'' He finally yelled over to her. ''Hey! Minako...'' Her head turned, and locks of blonde hair twisted around her shoulders.
''Come here for a minute.''
'' Sure.'' Minako walked over to Motoki, and Hiyiko, who was still in her trance, but soon left it. Motoki then pointed to Hiyiko.
'' Minako, this is my girlfriend... Hiyiko... If you want to know more about her, ask later... More importantly, I need you to do me a favour...... Would you?'' He asked.
'' It depends...'' Was Minako's answer.
'' I need you to take Hiyiko to Rei's Shrine. Please... Can you do this for me?'' Motoki gazed at her. He was worried about how Hiyiko felt about this.
''I'd be happy to help ....'' Minako triled off, and then look at Hiyiko. Minako then helped her off the bench, and smiled.
''Everything will be all right... You'll see." Hiyiko smiled a bit, then walked out the sliding doors with Minako. They both ran around the lit street corner, and Minako paused to think.
''Lets see.... If we go down Fioturoko.....We'll get there in about ten minutes. So I think we should go down that street. '' Minako turned, and faced the road, and ran ahead, Hiyiko followed at the same pace. They where both tired out as sonn as they reached the temple stairs. But Hiyiko had no time to stop, so she ran ahead to the girlls who were sitting on the porch. They all stared at the ground until Usagi looked up. She jumped at Hiyiko, and grabbed her hand.
'' I'm sorry..... We didn't do anything.'' Usagi started to cry once again, and Hiyiko, satrted to rub her back.
'' I'm sure it wasn't your fault. '' Hiyiko said with a forgiving tone. Usagi looked up at Hiyiko, and started to smile, then she looked at Rei.
'' She.... Rei..... will tell you where Kyohaku is.... '' Usagi trailed off as Hiyiko started to walk closer to Rei. She got up, and faced the slidding door.
'' This way.... She's in here. Rei said as she opened the Shrine doors.''
They all entered, and walked through the silent hall, as the doors, all lead to yet another hall. Rei finally came up to a door, and stood aside to let Hiyiko pass through. She silently slid the door open to find Kakeru sitting by the edge of her beg. His hand gently clamped over hers, as he lay his head on the sheets. Hiyiko sat down next to him, had looked at him in the eyes. Tears of sorrow fled through her eyes, and she looked over to her sister crying. Rei slid the door closed, as she looked at them, she felt sorry for them. She felt sorry for them because they had to put up with feeling down, and seeing their loved one like this. They all felt like this.
**KYOHAKU'S DREAM**
Everything was dark. Like an ocean of darkness, the fluid of evil prevailed all around her. She felt alone, and lost in a world that only existed in the torturing depths of your mind. She stared into darkness as a chill of evil went up her spine. Then a evil laugh went through the air, and filled the space with a definite chill. Kyo looked around to see if anyone was there, but she saw nothing, nothing but a black hole of nightmares.
'' Now you will suffer........'' A voice included three minor chords, that appeared to harm the ears that heard it. '' .......And your kind will die.........'' Kyohaku shivered as she thought of the fact of the human race fading and becoming no mire. The thought of evil forces taking over the wotld, and her people becoming their slaves. '' .........And you will be the first!!!!'' Kyoahku screamed with fright.........
*So To All My Friends...Especially My Best Friend Nicole......(Hiyiko.....)*

Ami glanced over at her friends, who stared at Kyohaku, they did feel guilty to, She could tell from the look in their eyes. Usagi then clutched her hand into a fist, and looked at Kakeru, who tried to wake up Kyo.
''I'll be right back...'' Usagi told them, she ran behind the fence once again, and pulled out her comunicator. ''Haruka???........... Are you there? Haruka???''
''Yeah.... What do you want?'' Haruka tried to ask politly.
'' We have a problem.... ''
'' And what might that be?'
'' Our friend fainted, and she's not waking up, could you pick us up with your car?''
'' Yeah, I'll be over in a minute... What street are you on?''
'' Were on Utsanomia, and Takori.... Thanks so much.'' Usagi closed her gold comunicator, and ran back over to Kyohaku. ''Haruka, our friend is coming over to pick us up, Your apartment is a bit far, but we could go to the Hikawa Shrine... A friend of ours lives there, and Kyohaku can rest there for now. '' Kakeru nodded in response, as he picked her up and sat on the curb, he gently placed Kyo in his lap, until Haruka, and Michiru pulled up in a yellow sports car., They all shifted and quickly made room for Kyohaku, and Kakeru. Kakeru was almost in tears, seeing his only love in this state. He buried his face into her golden hair, and whispered words of comfort. Ami, feeling the guiltiest of them all, sat next to Kakeru, and tried to cheer him up, but it didn't work.
Haruka tried to drive to the Shrine as fast as possible. When they had finally got there, Haruka helped Kakeru bring Kyo up the stairs to reach the temple doors. When they had reached the top, Kakeru sat down again, with Kyohaku in his lap. Usagi ran around the temple checking every room, to find her best friend Rei. Usagi had made her way, just about all the way around the Hikawa Shrine, with no trace of Rei, and now Usagi started to get worried that her friend wasn't here. She ran as fast as she could all the way back to the other girls, They had all seated themselves on a bench beside Kakeru, who still had Kyo in his lap.
'' Ami.. Rei isn't here.. Where could she be?'' Usagi asked Ami.
'' Well, what time is it now?'' Ami asked Makoto, who glanced at her green wrist watch on her left hand.
'' I think that its about three thirty....'' Makoto replied.
'' USAGI!!!! Rei doesn't get out of school till three thirty!!!" Ami yelled back at Usagi.
'' Oh...'' She simply replied.
'' We'll have to wait for her to come here, it won't take that long...'' Makoto said in between Ami's and Usagi's argeument. They all waited for about five minutes, but Haruka, and Michiru had to leave, to take an afternoon class, and Mugen high. So the rest of the gang sat and watched as Kakeru sat and cried into Kyohaku's hair. Ami then glanced over at Kyohaku again. Her face that once carried a bright glow was as pale as Kakeru's crisp wite lab coat.
Rei then started to make her way up the stairs, ad she saw her friends, and two strangers. She ran towards them in her uniform, carrying her bag full of books, and homework.
''Usagi... Who are these peolpe?'' Rei asked, as she glanced over at the man crying into a girls hair.
'' Rei, there is no time for that!!! We need you to lend us one of the shrine rooms, please, we'll explain everything after!!!'' Usagi asked as she almost burst into tears from just watching Kakeru. Rei nodded in response, and Quickly took everyone into a spasious room, decorated with branches of cherry blossoms in vases everywhere. Kakeru gently placed Kyo on the neatky made bed, and pulled the blue covers over her. Kakeru knealt down beside her bed, and clamped her hand, Rei then signaled everyone to come out, and give him his personal space.
'' Who is she?'' Rei asked the girls, who had brought her here.
'' Her name is Kyohaku Tsukito... " Ami glanced at the floor, feeling really guilty, that the pit of her somach started to twist and turn.
'' What happened? How come she fainted?'' Rei was curious of the stranger, who she had accepted into her her home.
'' We were following her around, and she feel into some roses, and she started to cry, we don't know why, but then when she stood up, she just keeled over... '' Makoto replied, and tried to give all the details to Rei.
'' Hey... does Kyoahku have any relation?'' Rei asked Usagi, who was staring at the sliding door that lead into the room.
'' Yes... she does!! Rei can I use your phone?''
'' Yeah sure!'' Rei replied back. The girls ran down the hallway to the little table with a black phone on it. Usagi quickly dialed the number to the arcade, and Minako picked up the phone.
'' Hello, crown arcade, How may I help you?'' Asked Minako.
'' Minkao?!?!? Why did you answer the phone at the arcade??'' Asked Usagi.
'' Motoki is off in the corner with some girl... ''
''Tell him to come to the phone this instant!!'' Rei yelled in the backround.
'' Sure.. I'll get him right away...'' Minako replied to Rei's comment. Minako ran over to Motoki, with an expression on her face.
'' Oh Hi Minako... This is Hiyiko... My new girlfriend. '' He replied as he looked deep into her eyes.
'' Motoki, the phone is for you...'' Minako sighed as she told him and he left Hiyiko to answer it, but she soon got up and followed him.
'' Mmhuh... Mmhuh.. Yeah just a minute..'' Motoki put his hand over the phone, and then handed it to Hiyiko. '' Usagi want's to talk to you...'' He quickly trailed off and then looked down at the floor.
'' Hello, this is Hiyiko speaking. '' She said as she held the phone close to her ear.
'' Hiyiko... This is Usagi, There's an emergency!!''
'' Why.... What happened?'' Hiyiko asked with a very worried tone.
'' It's your sister....'' Usagi tried to say.
'' What's wrong with her?!?! What happaned?!?!'' Hiyiko asked, and almost started to cry, just trying to think of what might of happened to one of her only sisters.
'' She fainted... I know it doesn't sound like much... But she hasn't waken up yet!!!'' Usagi started to panic.
'' Where are you?'' Asked Hiyiko.
'' At the Hiwaka Shrine!!"'
'' I'll be over as soon as I can....'' Hiyiko told Usagi and then hung up. She looked at Motoki, and then fell onto the couch with her face buried in her hands. Motoki came up to her and started to rub her back to comfort hre.
'' I don't know what I am going to do..... Sure she's fainted before... But she always gets back on her feet right away.... What if there is really something wrong with her, and then...... I'll never see her again!!!'' She sobbed even harder.
'' It's okay..... Everything will be all right. Did Usagi tell you where she was?'' Motoki asked Hiyiko as he tried to calm her down.
'' She said the she and the girls were at the Hikawa Shrine...'' She looked up at Motoki.
'' Lets see.... My shift doesn't end gor another hour, so I can't leave yet... But you might want to leave right away... Do you know wher that Shrine is? '' Motoki asked her. But she shook her head as a definite no. Motoki looked at the floor, and then up again into Hiyiko's eyes. He smiled. "Everything will be fine...'' He then started to scan the arcade, checking person by person. His eyes quickly stopped as he reached Minako. Hiyiko buried her face once again, and tried to think. ' If I can get through to her... Maybe then she would come back....' Hiyiko let her body go into another world, While Motoki tried to find a way for Hiyiko to get to the Shrine.
'' Minako..'' He finally yelled over to her. ''Hey! Minako...'' Her head turned, and locks of blonde hair twisted around her shoulders.
''Come here for a minute.''
'' Sure.'' Minako walked over to Motoki, and Hiyiko, who was still in her trance, but soon left it. Motoki then pointed to Hiyiko.
'' Minako, this is my girlfriend... Hiyiko... If you want to know more about her, ask later... More importantly, I need you to do me a favour...... Would you?'' He asked.
'' It depends...'' Was Minako's answer.
'' I need you to take Hiyiko to Rei's Shrine. Please... Can you do this for me?'' Motoki gazed at her. He was worried about how Hiyiko felt about this.
''I'd be happy to help ....'' Minako triled off, and then look at Hiyiko. Minako then helped her off the bench, and smiled.
''Everything will be all right... You'll see." Hiyiko smiled a bit, then walked out the sliding doors with Minako. They both ran around the lit street corner, and Minako paused to think.
''Lets see.... If we go down Fioturoko.....We'll get there in about ten minutes. So I think we should go down that street. '' Minako turned, and faced the road, and ran ahead, Hiyiko followed at the same pace. They where both tired out as sonn as they reached the temple stairs. But Hiyiko had no time to stop, so she ran ahead to the girlls who were sitting on the porch. They all stared at the ground until Usagi looked up. She jumped at Hiyiko, and grabbed her hand.
'' I'm sorry..... We didn't do anything.'' Usagi started to cry once again, and Hiyiko, satrted to rub her back.
'' I'm sure it wasn't your fault. '' Hiyiko said with a forgiving tone. Usagi looked up at Hiyiko, and started to smile, then she looked at Rei.
'' She.... Rei..... will tell you where Kyohaku is.... '' Usagi trailed off as Hiyiko started to walk closer to Rei. She got up, and faced the slidding door.
'' This way.... She's in here. Rei said as she opened the Shrine doors.''
They all entered, and walked through the silent hall, as the doors, all lead to yet another hall. Rei finally came up to a door, and stood aside to let Hiyiko pass through. She silently slid the door open to find Kakeru sitting by the edge of her beg. His hand gently clamped over hers, as he lay his head on the sheets. Hiyiko sat down next to him, had looked at him in the eyes. Tears of sorrow fled through her eyes, and she looked over to her sister crying. Rei slid the door closed, as she looked at them, she felt sorry for them. She felt sorry for them because they had to put up with feeling down, and seeing their loved one like this. They all felt like this.
**KYOHAKU'S DREAM**
Everything was dark. Like an ocean of darkness, the fluid of evil prevailed all around her. She felt alone, and lost in a world that only existed in the torturing depths of your mind. She stared into darkness as a chill of evil went up her spine. Then a evil laugh went through the air, and filled the space with a definite chill. Kyo looked around to see if anyone was there, but she saw nothing, nothing but a black hole of nightmares.
'' Now you will suffer........'' A voice included three minor chords, that appeared to harm the ears that heard it. '' .......And your kind will die.........'' Kyohaku shivered as she thought of the fact of the human race fading and becoming no mire. The thought of evil forces taking over the wotld, and her people becoming their slaves. '' .........And you will be the first!!!!'' Kyoahku screamed with fright.........
