THAT"screamed Umi "Well..then will leave you here"said Daimyo as he started walking down the path along side with Hikaru"FINE leave me here..see if I care"she said and stomped her feet on the ground..then she heard an howl"SECOND thought..I'm coming..wait up guys"screamed Umi as she ran towards them.They reached towards a opening of the forest a huge gate stood in front of them blocking there way to Keroth"O..great we make it out of that freaky scary place and look where we end up..at a blocked area!"growled Umi "Now..now Umi-chan..I'm sure there is a way"said Hikaru looking towards the top of the gates a captin Duo walked towards the gates "Who..goes there"he said then starred at Daiymo..like he knew him"Is that you..Daimyo the leader of Mt.Reikaku"he asked "It is I but..I ask of you a favor..let us in you see the Shamun of your kingdom can only heal my sister"he said as he pointed towards the board where the young girl was laying on "Hmm..I see..I will have to speak to the king about this"he said as he walked towards the castle"I'll be back shortly"he sai then went inside to speak with the king "Er...who is he Dai-chan?"asked Umi who had a great puzzel look in her eyes "He..is a friend of mine that I knew a long time ago.."he replied to Umi's question then looked towards the door with hope.Duo then walked out again with four guards beside him "The king will see you and ask on why you are here"he said while he opened the door"WOW it pretty"said Umi "Also so big"said Hikaru looking towards the castle then they got to a big door and walked into it the hallways were huge then they stepped into the throne room "King..here are the bandits that came to see you"said Duo as he kneeled "Well..Well..what a surprise"said the king."So Daimyo how..long was it since we seen you?"asked the king "15 years sir.."said Daimyo he said gazing around "I wish for a request to see your Shamun for he is the only person who can heal my sister from this darkness"he said with such loyalty to king "Well..of Course you may..for this is such a small request"said the king with a wave of his hand he ordered the Shamun named Ayashi a Shamun dressed in black cape walked in"Yes my king?"he asked kneeling down "Ayashi can you heal this girl"he pointed towards her"Hmm..yes but the magic I must wip up will take me days the only thing I can do for her now is heal her from this sleep"he said "O I thought you could do anything"glared Umi "SHUSH WOMAN"said Ayashi "FINE"growled Umi.Ayashi walked towards Miaka then layed his hand on her forehead he closed his eyes said a bunch of magic words and Miaka stirred "What..happened to me?"moaned Miaka in confusion as she looked around a throne room "Young bandits you may stay in the castle untill Miaka is healed"the king said with a smile "O thanks sir"said Umi "Yeah cool.."said Hikaru.Miaka walked out in the court yard then gazed into the blue sky then she sighed"I wonder why Tiara would do this to..me"she said sadly while Hikaru was standing on the balcony Daimyo then walked next to Hikaru "Hikaru.."called Daimyo from behind "Yes..?"Hikaru said as she turned around"I..just wanted to say..I really care for you.."said Daimyo as he quickly turned his gaze at the sky "Really..I care for you to.."said Hikaru.Miaka walked around the garden she picked a rose then sighed but then she herd some noise of people talking behind a tree so she walked towards and looked behind it to see who"Sir.Joda you know you should get ready for the ball tonight"said Duo "Yes...I know..I wonder why father..let those bandits in..they really don't belong here"Joda said as he stared at ground.Miaka gasped then thought to herself"Not..all bandits are bad"she said then she decided to walk pass them knowing she dosent know the prince

then notice Tiara was the reflection instead of her on "Tiara...why?"asked Miaka "I am..yousing ur body because I can..your heart..missed me so much..alot because you were my best friend Miaka."Tiara replied "But..Tiara..why just why"she said with tears pouring out of her eyes and got up then ran straight for the castle.As the prince boredly walked around the castle he noticed the crying bandit

"I'm...sorry I will leave."Looks down as tears start to fill her eyes"I know its all my fault..I've done this..because I couldent control myself."Her head moved up to look at him "Prince,do me a favor tell my brother not to bother to look for me."she said sadly "I will find someone else to cure me then go back to Reikaku."she took off a silver necklace and handed him it. "Give this to him as well."he took it and nodded.Miaka got up she threw him his cape then walked outside the rain still beating down on her she ran.Joda looked at the necklace he then wrapped himself in his cape and headed back home.
