The Unicorn's Tear

*~A White Rose Petal~*

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN THE A/N!!!

A/N: OK, I got a lot of questions from the last chapter and I don't blame you. A lot of this chapter had to do with ones that were WAY in the back…like the baby being named Hateto. If you remember, in one of the earlier chapters, Jin spares the life of a man whose wife is five months pregnant. This is that man. The room that Allen was talking about was the one where he heard the potion master talking. Van can't do anything because it's not his land, this is not his country so he can't rule it. I hope that cleared some things up…bye!!

Summary:

The unicorn is on the prowl, searching…searching for a memory…a memory that left Gaea…and went to a new world…

~*~

The unicorn's hooves beat the ground as it ran through the forest. He stopped himself by a tree to calm what his memories brought up.

Though creatures do not exactly think like us, they still can have memories. He let out a desperate neigh, to stop these voices going through his head, but they didn't stop. He closed his eyes as if to block the memories out, but they seemed to come in faster from doing that…

It was almost as if his mind was screaming 'You know those girls from before they were born, you knew, you knew!' His mind screamed. The unicorn neighed again and started to move all around with his eyes closed. He was thrashing about. The small creatures up in the trees have long since gone. He lowered himself to the ground and sat there as he closed his eyes…remembering…

Hitomi fell to the hard stone floor with a thud. She felt something warm on her cheek. Something wet. 'I'm not crying…' She thought. 'I'm bleeding…' She closed her eyes from the small bursts of pain that her cheek was getting. 'When will it stop?' She thought to herself. 'When will it all just stop?'

Wanda let Jin out of her bindings in her office. Jin sat still and looked in front of her, as if looking at nothing. Wanda came over and slapped her cheek. She felt small stings on her cheek from the force of it.

"You bitch!" Wanda said, "you lied to me! I fed you! I gave you clothes! You lied! You lied to your queen! The death forest is on MY land!" Jin stared at her, her eyes were dull.

"The Death forest is on death land! It says so in the books! No one has ever claimed the land AFTER you let go of it, as you did not want to be taken responsible for it!" Jin said to her, her eyes were still dull but her voice was anything but.

"I kept that land girl, so watch your tongue…" Wanda said in a threat like voice. Jin just stared at her, unnerved. Wanda, though getting very annoyed grinned as she finally realized something that might help her. "You'll be eating at my table tonight…along with everyone else…" Wanda laughed a little bit and then looked out her office's door. "Guards! Take her away!" She screamed. Soon, two men came in holding handcuffs to keep Jin under control. "You're going to have a surprise tomorrow night Jin!" Wanda called after her. "I can promise you that!" Wanda shut the door hard and went back to her desk.

"I found you…" She whispered as she pulled out a picture with a knife going straight through the girl's head.

"It's a unicorn!" The girl whispered to her friend. The other girl looked at the girl who spoke.

"Eya…This is my first time venturing out of the castle, don't you think that we should be getting back?" Eya stared at the girl who was looking at the trees around the forest nervously.

"Heika! I thought you said you wanted to do what your subjects do when they're bored! You know, get down, and get dirty!"

"I know that…but this is my first time even trying to do this and I'm nervous and-"

"Heika!"

"What?"

"The unicorn should have run off…" Heika stared at her friend, not seeing where she was going exactly.

"So?"

"It's STARING at us!" She said. She slowly brought up her finger and looked at the unicorn carefully.

"R-Really?" Heika said as she slowly turned her head. The unicorn looked right into her eyes and neighed. "He's really pretty!" Heika said. Eya nodded in agreement.

"I think that too!" The giggled a little bit and the unicorn still didn't move, they didn't want him to either. Eya slowly walked towards the unicorn and then saw some silver liquid on its front leg. Heika came to stand beside her.

"Don't touch the liquid!" She warned her, but Eya didn't listen. She slowly bent down to her knees and started to put her hands on the small wounds. Heika looked at her in astonishment. 'She touched the blood…' She thought to herself. She shook her head and bent down to help Eya.

Jin looked at the animal in front of her in wonder. She saw Hitomi lean down by the unicorn and push the cloth onto it's wound more for pressure. Jin looked shocked and remembered something.

"Hitomi do-" She started to say. But then something hit her. 'She's touching the unicorn's blood! But the blood is poison to certain…I knew it, don't get excited…it could just be that she's from the blue moon…' She thought. She kneeled down by the unicorn with tears in her eyes before helping Hitomi pull the quilt around the unicorn tighter. 'But there's always a chance…' She thought. She didn't get her hopes up though. She gave up on this. Didn't she?

~*~

As the unicorn remembered the two very different events, but in their own way the same, he couldn't help but wonder what could happen now. Slowly…a single tear fell off his face…
