Ronin Warriors: Senshi no Hoshi! (Star Warriors)

(I have no other name right now)

            She had no idea where he was at the moment.  It looked so familiar but she could not remember what it was.  More importantly, however, was how safe she felt here.  She was warm and loved.

            She finally realized that her eyes were closed and ordered them to open.  Slowly they obeyed, but with some effort.  As the darkness receded, her eyes strained to focus.  Things were different; her perspective was different, as if she were a child looking up.

            When her eyes finally focused, she was greeted with an amazing sight: Kaira.  The child stared up into eyes that mirrored her own.  In Kaira's eyes she saw love and tenderness.  Kaira was speaking softly and gently.  The child strained to hear, the words also sounding familiar.  The words began to form sentences and she suddenly remembered what they were: poems.  They were the same poems that her grandfather use to recite.  The ones that her mother told to her to put her to sleep…

            Her mother use to tell her the poems…

            She stared into Kaira's eyes again.  Loving and gentle like…the eyes a mother as she watched her child.  Her mother…

            The scene changed and now she found herself looking at a young man.  His familiarity is also vague.  He has long auburn hair slightly darker than her hair.  He's holding her at arms length, just gazing at her.  As Kaira's eyes were, his were as loving and tender.  He suddenly lifts her up and tosses her into the air.  Then she returns down into her hands as she giggles in delight.  He stares again at her, his eyes telling her that he would never let her fall; he would always catch his little girl.  She giggles again at her father…her father!

            "Toshitada, not so high," says Kaira.

            Toshitada…that's Anubis' real name.

            "It is not high, Kaira, love," Toshitada, her father, says.

            Her parents, she had forgotten…her parents…

            The scene changes yet again, but unlike before, it no longer felt safe.  She was scared; she wanted her mommy, her daddy.  They had left her there, told her to hide; she was not to say a word or make a sound.  She didn't.

            Tears streamed down her face but she did not cry out.  She watched as a large thing fought with her parents, but they were no match.  He beat them and then took them away.  But still she made no sound.

            After fifteen minutes of crying, she finally fell into an exhausted slumber.  Not too long later she felt someone pick her up.  She was reminded of her mother; she begin to cry again.  He held her tightly and padded her back.  He walked for what seemed like forever, letting her cry.

            Finally he stopped and she looked at him.  Through her tear-filled eyes she could not make out his features, only that his face was sad and that his hair was white.

            "Oh, my," she heard another man shout and she turned towards the noise.  She still could not see clearly but she was able to make out a man that ran towards them from a large house.

            "What happened," the man asked as he picked her up in his arms.

            "Her parents are gone," the white-haired man simply replied, "Take care of her."

            "I will," said the other as he push her head down to his shoulder, then her turned and walked to the large house.

            Her eyes had finally cleared as she was taken away.  She now saw his face clearly and saw her sadness reflected in his eyes.  He pulled his Chinese style hat over his head as he turned and walked away.

            "It will be okay little one," the old man holding her said.

            She hugged him tightly and sobbed mournfully, "Grandpa!"

            "Shh, shh," her grandfather said, "Everything will turn out all alright, Mia."

            Well, what do you think?  Did it sound all right?  This has been rolling around in my head for some time now.  I know I am supposed to be working on my Sailor Moon fanfic but I'm blocked with that one.  Not to mention I have been real busy this summer.  I will try to finish it, but it seems this one might come first.  You see, if I don't get this one and some other ideas out of my head, I might never finish the Sailor Moon fic.  If you like this one please review.  If I get enough reviews, I will continue.

            Please, don't be to hard, this is an AU fic, unlike my others, it is not my take of a continuation of the series.  I have read bios on the character that I am writing about and this story is my own little fantasy.
