AUTHORESS NOTES: Hahahahahaha, I'm back!!!
I SOOOOOO hate high school. Gar.
Oh, I've been getting a lot of reviews
saying why the hell isn't the FF8 gang getting that EVERYBODY that I made up are
their descendants. Well, it's...it's because I've used by authoress power to blind
them! Yeah, that's it!
Squall: Oh, Hyne, we've got kids?!?!?!?!?!?
*girly scream, then faints*
Rinoa: Tee hee.
Seifer: *jabs thumb at Lily* Why the hell
does SHE have to be my kid??
Lily: Cuz you were the one who knocked
up my mom, stupid.
*chaos and mayhem ensue....*
*sweatdrop* As you can see...I've just
released that power. But seriously, thank you for those pointing that matter out.
I kinda forgot... ^_^ Enjoy!!!
Just to let you know, bold words
mean that you are in a flashback sequence....or a flashback is coming back to
the others as they're there. This is mostly just for people talking. Italic
bold words represent another voice is talking in everyone's minds. And
to keep your brains intact, Luna had
just died. Now, what will her siblings and closest friends react to all of this?
There are things to move on to...
To Fly Free
It was too late. She knew because she and
the other only saw two figures huddled together in the distance. Only two...
"Hey, Phoenix, Kenji," Lily spoke
out. "W-what the hell just happened?"
They had all followed a trail of blood
to here. Only two people when there were supposed to be three. Only two...
"Aren't you guys listening to me?!?"
Lily asked again, this time more frantically.
Kenji, arm still wrapped around Phoenix,
glanced at Phoenix. Her tears had subsided, at least for the moment, but a blank
expression had conquered her face.
Do you want me to tell them or me?
he asked.
Phoenix slowly blinked, still staring into
space. You...
He sighed, leaving his Sorceress, and drudged
slowly to the others to explain. He had kept his eyes closed to prevent anybody
to see the pained expression in his eyes.
He stopped by Lily's side and began explaining,
"Luna...she just..."
Nobody around them had heard what he said,
except for Lily. But Alex...he hadn't said a word since they were all together.
He had kept his head low and walked stiffly in military-like fashion, fists clenched
tightly by his sides. Alex was cold and silent like the weather, not even bothering
to look up to know where to go. It was as if he knew already.
Rinoa looked at him and now realized that
his shoulders were shaking in...anger? Sadness? She couldn't tell, but she knew
that Alex was listening into the entire explaination that human ears couldn't
hear.
We were too late...weren't we, Phoenix?
she asked.
Phoenix just blinked in response with that
blank expression still on her face.
"No...way..." everyone heard
Lily say. Her eyes widened in shock. "That's...that's impossible. Not Luna..."
"It all just happened," Kenji
said.
"That's impossible!!" Lily shouted,
taking a step forward. "How the hell could she just DIE like that?!?!?"
She shoved Kenji aside and walked briskly
towards Phoenix. It can't be true, it just can't be... Lily didn't want
to believe that her best friend, the person who understood her the most besides
her father, had just died. She knelt down in front of Phoenix, grabbing her shoulders.
"C'mon, Phoe, it ain't true, right?"
Lily asked. Getting no response from her friend, she began shaking Phoenix, desperate
for answers. "Hey, c'mon! It ain't true, right?? Kenji's just bullshitting
us, right??...Right?" Still no response, Liliy began to shake Phoenix even
harder. "Hey!! Why aren't you answering me?!?!?"
As Lily continued, Phoenix struggled to
keep her composure. She tried to block out her friend's cries but couldn't. The
hurt, the guilt, the anger...they were all coming back again. She tightly grabbed
the bracelets that her twin once wore as the tears filled her covered eyes.
Lily looked down at the bracelets which
shined brightly in the sun. That was when she finally accepted the hurtful truth
of reality.
"Those bracelets..." she murmured.
From the bracelets, her eyes trailed down to the soaked pool of blood in the snow
next to Phoenix. "That blood..." She looked back at Phoenix who was
struggling to not fall back into her abyss of hell.
"She...she really is gone, isn't she?"
she asked, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her fists were clenched tightly by
her sides. "Dammit, why?? Why did this have to happen to Luna of all people?!?!?
She had freakin' sorceress's blood for Hyne's sake!!!"
"Do you think it's easy to not go
to Ultimecia right now and tear her to pieces?!?!?" Phoenix burst out. Lily
was so stunned that she couldn't respond as Phoenix continued. "Hyne...we
aren't freakin' immortal! Sure, our mother was a sorceress, but that doesn't mean
that we can't die like normal people do!! Even Mom..."
Me and Daddy are going to someplace
else, okay? No matter what happens, we'll always watch over you.
"Even Mom...even she was killed,"
Phoenix finished. "Sometimes we just forget that...that we're only human..."
Alex looked up and stared at his sister.
Nobody had noticed the slight flicker of amber in their eyes.
Phoenix closed her eyes to keep the tears
out as the crimson streaks in her hair began to bleed when terrifying memories
flooded back into her head. "Luna...she knew what she was doing. Even I don't
want to believe it...but...what she did was the right thing."
"What do you mean?" Rinoa asked
quietly.
Phoenix took out a necklace that was hidden
underneath her clothing. Dangling onto it were a pair of silver rings. They were
engraved in similar patterns, shining brightly in the sun.
Squall's eyes widened. "Those are..."
"Griever's rings," Phoenix answered,
looking at Squall and Rinoa straight in the eye. "You gave these to us when
we were very young. There's four in total. These are mine and Luna's."
"Why...why didn't you tell us before?
Why didn't you tell us the reason why..." Lily trailed off.
Phoenix smiled faintly. "Because Ultimecia's
not after you, Lily. She's after not only those involved in Time Compression,
but she's also after our family because of these rings."
"Wait a second," Seifer interrupted.
"Doesn't Ultimecia appear many thousands of years AFTER you guys?"
"That's probably the one you heard
of," Gene answered. "But there's no such thing as one time zone. This
future is ours and the one that you know of, but there are many other futures.
To come to think of it, there's many other us's, too."
"And that means that there's many
other Ultimecia's," Zell concluded.
"You have such an optimistic view
of life, Chickenwuss," Seifer said.
Zell seethed in anger." I'm only saying
the frickin' truth, Seifer."
"Hey, don't get all touchy about it..."
Alex walked over to his sister, laying
a hand on her shoulder. "C'mon, Sis...let's go."
Phoenix nodded in agreement and looked
at the steel gate in front of them.
We'll all be fine, Phoe, her
twin's voice rang in her mind. So, don't worry.
"I hope you're right about this,"
Phoenix whispered softly.
"This...this place is freakin' huge!"
Zell exclaimed as they walked through the rather wide, but empty halls of Mt.
Leika's cavern.
"You can say that again, Zell,"
Rinoa said as she clung onto Squall's arm. She glanced nervously at the walls
that surrounded them. They seemed to glow light blue with every step they took.
But this place is also really creepy...
"But why would Shiva's former imprisonment
be so big?" Quistis wondered aloud. "I mean, were those people back
then so afraid of her power?"
"That's probably it," Lily answered,
arms behind her head.
She stopped abruptly after hearing a fairly
large creaking sound. She paled.
"Uh-oh..."
"Whaddya mean by 'uh'-aaaaahhhhh!!!"
Gene was about to ask before the floor began to disappear underneath them.
"WHOA-----!!!" Everyone shouted
as they fell into the void below them.
Alex...
Ugh...
Alex!
Who...who's there?
Wake up, Alex!
Alex opened his eye to find himself in
a dark void. Kneeling before him was a young woman. Her chocolate brown eyes looked
concerned underneath the mop of dark brown hair that she had. A white tank and
khaki shorts underneath a long denim jacket. Dark brown hair, which was almost
black, the curled just to mid-cheek. A very familiar appearance...
Alex immediately sat up, blinking in surprise.
"Sa-Sakura?!?"
The young woman called Sakura arched an
eyebrow as she sat up straight.
"What? It's like you've seen a ghost
or something," Sakura said.
"But aren't you dead?" Alex asked
incredulously.
"Of course not, you idiot," his
sister answered. "Don't be go digging into my grave just yet."
"Then...how? Phoenix...Sis saw you
die."
Sakura's eyes looked away from her brother's.
"Ultimecia...she--she revived me."
"W-what?"
"Ultimecia revived me. I'm not sure
why, but she's kept me in a deep sleep. That's why this is the only way I can
talk to you guys: through your dreams and flashbacks. My physical body can't budge
an inch no matter how hard I force myself."
"So that's why your aura's so faint,"
Alex murmured.
"Oh, NOW you get it," Sakura
teased.
"Hey..."
"I was just kidding, geez. You're
starting to act like Dad."
"Ha ha ha, very funny."
Although he had replied sarcastically,
Alex smiled faintly. He and his older sister Sakura were closer than with the
twins.
"So....wait a minute, you said that
you can only contact me and the others through our dreams and flashbacks? You
mean that I'm unconcious right now?"
Sakura nodded. "Yep."
"But how come you never did that before/"
"I only have local calling distance,"
his sister replied. "You guys can find me in the central area of this place."
There was something in her eyes that bothered
him.
"...What did they do to you, Sis?"
Sakura hesitated for a moment. Then, "I-I
don't know...too many things. So many horrible things that I can't tell you. Not
just yet. Just find me, okay? I just want to fly free again."
She began to fade away. Alex tried to grab
her.
"Wait a minute, Sis! Where're you
going?"
"Your physical body is starting to
awaken. Besides, I gotta make Phoenix a visit sometime since all of you are here.
Remember: I'm in the central area of this place, got it? Get me the hell outta
this place. Only Mom and Dad can wake me up."
"Alex, Alex, wake up!"
Once again, his sleep was disturbed. He
was being shaken. Not roughly, but enough to force himself awake. Alex opened
his eye to find his sister looking down at him in concern.
"Sis?" he mumbled.
Phoenix's expression softened as she helped
her brother stand. "Are you okay?"
"I have a really bad headache, but
that's it," Alex replied.
He looked around to find only Squall, his
sister, and himself.
"Hey...where's everybody?"
"We don't know," Squall answered,
pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on. "That fall separated all
of us."
"And you found me lying on the floor
unconsious," Alex finished, frowing in through. So...I DID talk to her...
"You talked to who?" Phoenix
asked after reading her little brother's thoughts.
Squall stared at the two oddly. What
are they talking about?
"Um...Sakura..." Alex trailed
off.
Squall's eyes narrowed at the name again.
The way Alex had said the name was as if it was a ghost come back to life.
Phoenix cocked her head to the side. "Sakura?
You mean she knows how to talke to you in dreams?"
Alex shook his head. "No, not that
Sakura. Our sister, Sakura."
Squall's attention shifted to Alex, silently
listening to the conversation.
"She...she's alive?" Phoenix
asked quietly.
Alex nodded. "That's what she told
me. Ultimecia revived her after you buried her body and put her in a deep sleep.
She says she doesn't know why, though."
"...Did they do anything to her?"
"I don't know. She didn't want to
say anything to me about it. Said that she wanted to talk to you."
"What does...Sakura do as part of
a sorceress?" Squall interrupted.
His children looked at him, cautiously
deciding upon an answer.
"Sakura's kinda like the Sakura that
you know. She can summon up any kind of creature, GF, or magic by using cards.
But she's more powerful than the Sakura that you know," Phoenix finally answered.
"What do you mean by 'more powerful'?"
"Sakura's not your typical sorceress.
Actually, she's the most powerful out of all four of us. There are different types
of sorceresses. Rinoa and all the others that you've encountered are your regular
sorceresses no matter how evil or good a person they are. Sakura's different.
She's a summoner and can summon up Guardian Forces without having to junction
them. It takes more than once to just kill her." Phoenix paused for a moment
as if realizing something. "That's why Ultimecia took her out first... at
least that was what I saw."
"But didn't Alex say that she's been
revived?"
"More or less," Phoenix frowned.
She's not with you, Luna?
No, Mom and Dad haven't seen her
ever since we were still little, her
twin answered.
"We have to get her back before Ultimecia
does anything else to her," Phoenix said.
Kenji and Rinoa walked through the eerie
halls of Mt. Leika's cavern. The floor vibrated softly with every step they took,
but the temblors nearly knocked the both of them off their feet. So in order to
stop the "small" earthquakes, Rinoa casted a Float spell on the two
of them.
"I wonder where the others are..."
Rinoa murmured for the third time as they walked through the hallways.
Kenji didn't seem to mind, though. He had
maintained a calm exterior, carefully examining their surroundings. The walls
reflected images--horrible images--of a past life or a person or thing.
"I wonder what do these images mean?"
Kenji asked. They all looked familiar to him in description, no experience. He
glanced over at Rinoa who stopped all of a sudden. Her facial expression seemed...scared?
Scared of what? he
thought as he called her name, "Rinoa?"
"Daddy, Daddy!"
Those voices...Kenji
thought as he tried to communicate with Rinoa who still didn't respond.
That was when he saw them. Luna and Phoenix.
They were just only kids who looked at least six or seven years old, but their
auras weren't any different as they ran to a scar faced man with sapphire eyes
only known as Squall Leonhart.
"What's...going on?" Rinoa finally
said.
"ACHOO!! Dammit, not again..."
Lily muttered.
She had been sneezing the entire way as
she, Seifer, and Quistis strolled through an endless plaza. "Strolled"
wasn't the word, though. It was more like walking around in circles like a crazed
maniac and finding no way out. There wasn't anything around, just open space,
so there didn't seem to be any reason why Lily was having an allergy attack.
"Lily, are you sure you're okay?"
Quistis asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm FINE," she replied
irratibly. It wasn't because she thought that Quistis was asking too many questions;
Lily just wasn't used to getting so much attention just because of an allergy
attack. "ACHOO!!"
"You're going to drive me crazy if
you keep on sneezing like that, Pyro," Seifer commented.
Lily gave him an icy glare. "Is it
my frickin' fault that I'm sneezing like this? And don't you DARE call me that
again or else."
Seifer smirked. "Or else what, Pyro?"
"Alright, that's it!!!" Lily
lunged towards him, but was held back by Quistis. "Dammit, Quistis, lemme
go!"
Seifer chuckled in amusement as Lily struggled
to free herself from Quistis' strong hold. "Oh, c'mon, Instructor, just let
her go."
"I am not going to," Quistis
replied firmly. "And Lily, just calm down! Don't let his taunting get to
you!"
"Get to me my ass," Lily growled,
still glaring at the man in front of her. "I----"
She covered her mouth and began to feel
dizzy. What the---
Soon after, she fell limp in Quistis' arms.
"Lily???" Quistis asked.
"Hey, what the hell's wrong----"
Seifer started to say but began to feel faint.
Slowly, one by one, the trio fell into
a deep sleep in the middle of an empty room...
Zell once again rammed his fist into the
steel door trying in vaing to bust it open.
"Damn," he muttered to himself.
How the hell did Luna do it??
"USELESS," Fujin commented.
"I think we kinda know that already,
Fujin," Gene said.
Sakura slept peacefully beside him, hugging
Kereberos like a stuffed animal in her arms. Raijin was still unconscious from
the fall. The lot of them were stuck in a cramped room that was locked. It wasn't
really a cramped room. As the group was walking through the area that they had
fallen through, Zell had accidentally tripped the alarm system, therefore, locking
them in between the door to the next room and the hall way that they were in.
Zell had futilely tried to break the door open, but it stubbornly remained intact
despite a couple of dents.
"I give up," Zell sighed, slumping
down against the door. "Stupid door won't budge a bit."
Kereberos slowly pried herself free from
Sakura's unconscious death grip.
"Ah, I'm free!" she cried out,
stretching her limbs.
"Oh, but you two looked so cute like
that, K-chan," Selphie commented.
"Try being a creature that looks like
a stuffed teddy bear and be suffocated by a girl of nine," Kereberos argued.
"Um, K-chan, that's not really important
right now," Irvine said.
"I know that, but I was trying to
get out to help you," Kereberos explained as she floated in the air towards
the dented door. "Everybody, why don't you get back just a bit?"
Fujin dragged Raijin out of the way while
the others scooted out. The little creature concentrated her beady black eyes
at the door, a white aura emitting from her body. She was mumbling her words as
if casting a spell.
"OM!!"
In a mixture of fire and lightning, the
door cracked open. Zell, Irvine, and Gene's jaws dropped at the sight.
"H-h-how..."
Kereberos grinned manicacally as she headed
towards to open room. "Okay, let's go!"
"I didn't know she could do that,"
Gene mumbled to himself.
"Wow..." Selphie murmured in
awe.
They all followed suit: Irvine carrying
Sakura and Gene and Zell dragging Raijin in tow.
"These things are REALLY starting
to creep me out," Alex commented about the walls surrounding them.
They looked like your ordinary walls, except
that they would jump out at you if you got too close. Jumping out mean that the
evil hands would come and grab their innocent prey. Low moans of helpless souls
echoed in the hallway, and they got even louder as the trio went deeper into the
cavern.
"Alex, just try to ignore them,"
Phoenix told her brother. "They're not going to harm you or anything."
"That's easier said than done,"
he mumbled.
Squall remained silent, observing and trying
to get to know his surroundings. Although, that task alone was impossible to do
without going crazy. The cries of lost souls were starting to get to him. If one
was to stay here forever, even the most close-minded person would go insane.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Those words snapped him out of his reverie,
and he looked back up. Just what was that?
"No..." Phoenix whispered. Her
eyes were wide with shock; her hands covered her mouth as she slid down to the
floor.
"Sis?" Alex asked and then looked
at what she was looking at.
Before them was a flower field and a small
home in the middle of it. Two girls around six years old were running towards
a man in his early thirties. That man was Squall.
"What's going on?" Squall asked.
Phoenix wouldn't reply, her head low, fists
clenched tightly. The crimson streaks in her hair were glowing slightly as if
they were going to break apart. Alex looked totally clueless as he watched the
scene unfold.
Getting no reply, Squall looked back at
the scene, or rather a flashback, and wondered. Memories began flooding back into
Phoenix's mind again before her own hell took over.
They were running. Running away from the
fire behind them. Running away from the shadows that were stalking them. Running
away from death itself.
Rinoa and Kenji watched on in horror as
more and more flashbacks came before them. Rinoa wanted to stop everything, but
no matter how hard she tried to grab something, she would pass through air. They
were memories of the past, a past that wouldn't and couldn't be changed. This
wasn't like how Ellone would make you go into a person's body of the past and
live it through their own perspective. No, it wasn't like that at all. Rinoa and
Kenji were looking at these memories as outsiders and nothing more.
"Mommy, where're we going?"
a young Luna asked.
"How come Daddy's not wit us?"
a little girl asked.
Rinoa stifled a sob coming toward her throat.
She didn't want to watch, but her eyes wouldn't look away.
Why, why are these images coming? What
is this trying to prove?? she thought.
It's to show why Sorceress Ultimecia
showed up so soon, a voice
answered her. Peace always bursts into violence, that's history. That's
what Ultimecia wanted. She wanted history to repeat itself all over again and
make Griever stronger than what it currently was. That is the nature of our family's
Guardian Force.
"Who are you?" Rinoa asked aloud
to the voice.
The images around them began to fade into
the darkness that was their environment.
You'll know who I am if you search
deep within your heart, Rinoa, the
voice answered.
The melody of the voice, its faint aura
dancing around the room struck a note in Kenji's mind. It sounded familiar, so
familiar that it was a loud note. Then he realized...
"Sakura?" he murmured out loud.
Ugh...I feel like shit...
Seifer managed to regain consciousness
although he had a massive pounding in his head. After one quick glance at his
surroundings, he immediately sat up.
"Where the hell are we?" he asked.
Seifer found himself in the mountains.
Or at least he thought he was in the mountains. In a distance ahead of him was
Lily, head low and fists clenched tightly by her sides. Her shoulders seemed to
be shaking, but he wasn't sure. There was something about the way she standed
that seemed to be so familiar to him...
"Hey, Lily?"
"Mommy, Daddy, hurry up! Auntie
Fujin 'n' Uncle Raijin're waiting for us!!"
"What the hell?" he muttered
and realized that Quistis was beginning to awaken.
As soon as the young Instructor was fully
conscious, a little girl ran right through them, blond pigtails flying.
"Mommy, Daddy, c'mon! Hurry up!!"
An older Seifer in his late twenties walked
out of the home, carrying what seemed to be a large sackful of food.
"Alright, alright, Pyro. Don't
be so damn excited...
"Seifer, what your language."
A woman was right behind him, but her face
was blurred. The only noticeable feature of the womans' face was honey blonde
hair. Seifer saw himself smile back at the unknown woman, his attitude totally
different around her.
"Hey, she's gonna learn someday,
honey."
"Seifer, I'm warning you..."
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding..."
"Mommy! Daddy!"
The blond, pigtailed little girl had returned,
frowning. "Hurry up!!! Or else Uncle Raijin's gonna eat all of Auntie
Fujin's food!!"
"Alright, alright, we're comin'
ya Pyro. Just hold yer horses..."
"Where is this coming from?"
Quistis asked. "Why are you in this, Seifer?"
"I'm not sure..." Seifer said.
"Fifteen years ago," Lily finally
began, but she wouldnt' look back at the two. "Fifteen years ago, me and
my parents went out for a picnic with my aunt and uncle. That proved to be the
last time I would ever have a happy, normal childhood."
"Lily, what do you mean by that?"
Quistis asked softly.
"That damn bitch Allundia attacked
us that day," Lily continued, ignoring Quistis' question. "She said
ti was the beginning of Ultimecia's revenge and bring death to all those who oppossed
her 22 years ago. We...they were totally unprepared...."
Coincidentally, the scene faded to one
of the little girl tugging on her mother's sleeve. Seifer and Quistis saw the
bodies of Fujin and Raijin laying together, dead. The unknown woman looked still
as a statue while Seifer's other self was desperately fighting against Allundia's
familiar form.
"Mommy, Mommy! Ya gotta help Daddy!
He's in trouble!!"
"Mom never really responded to my
calls," Lily explained. Her shoulders were visibilly shaking. "It was
like she was under some sort of freakin' spell. I wanted to help out, but...I
was too little back then."
A Firaga and an Ultima speel were swirling
together in the sky. They were heading straight towards the little girl as Seifer's
other self cried out. The little girl was frightened, too scared to move. There
there was a bright flash, and a woman's cry echoed in the distance. The scene
faded back to the darkness.
"I don't remember what happened after
that," Lily continued. "Hyne, I didn't even know who I was when I woke
up the next day. Auntie Elle said I had amnesia. I still do, really. I remembered
what happened before, but not during it. I don't even remember what my own mother
looked like, not even if you gave me a picture of her with Dad and said that was
her....I wouldn't believe it. That's why...that's why my memories aren't back.
I don't think they wever will be."
You wouldn't know until you try,
Lily, a voice called out.
Quistis and Seifer looked around in confusion,
but Lily lifted her head at the sound of the voice. Her eyes were wide with shock.
Blood. There was too much blood. So much
that it was engulfing her body as torture for what she did five years ago.
Sis, Sis!!
Sa...Sakura? Phoenix
asked. Her younger sister's form appeared before her. You're still alive??
"Sis, you gotta get me outta here!"
Sakura said.
"But...but why are you showing them
this? They're not SUPPOSSED to know!" Phoenix shouted.
"They'll find out sooner or later,
Sis, if Time Compression still resumes!" Sakura pointed out.
"True, but to find out how they will
DIE, Sakura?!?"
Her sister's head turned in distraction.
"You made it after all."
"Sakura, what do you mean by that?"
"Just get me out of here! I don't
want my wings chained anymore..."
Her sister's image began to fade. Phoenix
tried to pull her back. "Wait, Sakura!!"
Her eyes fluttered open to find herself
staring into her brother's face.
"Alex? What happened?" Phoenix
asked as she sat up.
"You passed out," her brother
bluntly said. Did that really happen?
That question was regarding about their
parent's deaths. She only nodded in response.
"So, we're all awake, then,"
Squall said.
"Huh?" Phoenix asked incredulously
and looked around. Everyone was in the room. "Guys?? How did you get here?"
"A feather guided us," Kenji
answered. "There were so many flashbacks that they all led us to here."
"Feathers?"
"Uh-huh, and they were really pretty,"
Sakura added.
"We're guessing that this is the main
control room," Squall informed her. "But we don't know how to work the
controls. There's too many of them."
"Were you talking to your sister,
Sakura, Phoenix?" Rinoa asked quietly.
Phoenix was surprised. "How did you---"
"She led us here. All of us,"
Lily flatly replied.
"So, she IS still alive," Phoenix
murmured.
"Yeah," Gene said, leaning against
the arm of a gargoyle statue that was in the room, "but we don't know wh----ah!!"
The gargoyle's arm fell from the weight
that Gene put on. A hidden door revealed itself. Inside the hidden room was a
chamber filled with liquid, and in that liquid was the missing link to the Leonhart
family. Pheonix's eyes widened in shock.
"Sakura!"
AUTHORESS NOTES: Uh, hehehehehehe....I
told you I'd make this chapter better!! ::hears murmurs:: Okay, so it was a LITTLE
bit better. This chapter was really to set up for the next one, and I'll put that
up whenever I have the time to do so. R&R!!
NEXT CHAPTER TITLE: Rain of Blood (Oh,
you're SO going to not like what I'm planning to do....)
