A/N- Ummm...I AM SO SORRY! I haven't been able to go online for like the past two weeks or
maybe more? Christmas was a blast! I loved it. I hope everyone else' was just as special. Now I just
wish it would snow. LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW!! Hehehe. Please read!
Kotaro, God of Destruction, waited unpatiently for his apprentice to arrive. He got angry
and threw a glass bottle of wine at the door guard. "Where is that boy?!?!" he roared at the poor,
frightened guard. Before the guard could answer him, a knock was heard. The door revealed a
person in a long dark cloak with the hood covering his face. The cloaked person walked into the
room, which looked like a cave. There was a throne in the end of the room. The cave room was only
lit by the fire torches in the walls.
"What is it that you request, Master?" The hooded person asked in a low voice, as if loud
noise might anger his master more.
"I want an update. I want to know what you have been up to." Kotaro told the boy in a
bored voice.
"I have done what you told me to. I have changed the potions. I have turned every
potion into its opposite. The magical spells are working perfectly. Pretty soon you will have the
Dragon." the apprentice told its master.
"Very good. You may leave." Kotaro told him coldly.
"I will get what I want. You promise I can have her after you have gain control of Gaea
and the Heavens. Can you still confirm that?" the boy asked a bit forcefully.
"You do not need to raise your voice at me boy! I will give her to you. Don't worry." Kotaro
said with the same ugly smile he usually have on. The hooded figure retreated back out the door
and disappered from sight.
Nori quickly fixed her top as she walked out of Kenji's living quarters. It was horrible being in
there. She was already 15 minutes late meeting Hitoshi. She and Hitoshi still have to finish the potion.
She started to cry as she tread the steps to the work place. Hitoshi was inside waiting for her. As soon
as he saw her tears, he came toward her and embraced her.
"What's wrong, my love?" he asked in a worry tone.
"Nothing. It's just the wind." she told him.
"Please tell me what's wrong. I hate to see you in pain. Something is wrong. I can tell. Why
won't you tell me?" Hitoshi's voice was cracking up.
"Nothing. Really. We better get back to the potion. We can't fail in our mission." Nori said
as she pushed him away. She really wanted to tell him. But they might get exposed. She hated lying
to him but what could she do? Hitoshi looked at her with a pained look in his eyes.
Allen hurried as fast as he could when he heard Millerna called him. He raced across their
150 acre home in search of his wife and son. He found his wife kneeling by the river, crying. His son
was no where in sight.
"What's wrong? Millerna, where is Daniel?" he asked in a worry tone.
"He....he was playing by the river and he slipped on the riverbank and fell him." Millerna
said between half-sobs.
Allen's eye widened at his wife's words. Their baby boy fell into the river? "I'm going to look
for him. You better get home." he whispered to Millerna. She nodded while he swung himself on his
horse.
Allen followed the river well into the deep, lush forest that stood like a haunting shadow in
the back of his home in Astoria. Before he could set another step into the forest, a white light
appeared in the distance that blinded his sight for a few minutes. *Hitomi!* He quickly steered his
horse in the direction of the light.
Hitomi was sitting at home when she suddenly saw a black feather float gently infront of
her. "Folken?" she said softly. Right after she said his name, a white light engulfed her and brought
her back to where she belongs. "Nani?" She drew her head up and looked at the sky. Just as she
hoped, she saw Earth and the moon in the heavens. "I'm back!!"
A soft whimpering cut short of her celebration. She looked around in haste. What she did
see was a four or five year old boy lying by the riverbank. The boy looked half drowned and half
dead. Hitomi took a closer inspection of the boy. This boy reminded her of another golden head
child she had met in Gaea years ago. This boy looked like Prince Chid. Hitomi gently prodded the
boy by the shoulders. The boy made a gentle sound. Hitomi was glad he was still alive. She took off
her jacket and wrapped it around the boy's small body.
Daniel could hear someone besides himself in the forest. He wanted to call for help but all
he could do was whimper. He could feel someone touched him. It was a gentle touch. "Mommy?"
he murmured to himelf. He could feel the person place something soft around his shoulders.
Hitomi was trying to keep the boy warm but she could feel the cold night air seep into her
clothes. Then, she heard horse's footsteps. She looked up to see a figure on a horse. Her face wrinkled
up in confusion. He looked familiar somehow. She took a closer look at his face. He had nice blue eyes
and short spiky blond hair. She drew in her breath when she realized the figure on the horse was
Allen Schezar. The same one she knew a few years back during the Dragon War. The same person
she had first fell in love with.
Allen had also seen the look of confusion on the maiden's face. This girl also looked very
familar. She had long, light brown hair up to the middle of her chest. But those intense green eyes
gave away who she was. "Hitomi!" he shouted.
"Allen?" Hitomi asked the gentleman on the horse. "Do you know who he belongs to?" she
gestured to the boy in her lap. Without answering, Allen jumped off from his horse, ran over and
hugged Hitomi really hard. Hitomi fell backwards, having the wind knocked outta her. Allen
proceeded to pick her up and put her on the horse. He then picked up Daniel and he got onto the
horse as well. Allen went back to the Schezar Manor with a soaring heart despite he was a married
man.
A/N- *laughs evilly* Muahahahaha....shame on you Allen Schezar. Gomen to all the Allen fans.
So there is some dude working for Kotaro ehhhhhh?? Who? Did ya notice that Kotaro behaves a
lot like our Lord Dilandau? Allen and Millerna is married. Their son's name is Daniel. I hope I don't turn
this fic into a soap opera unlike my fellow writer Yukari-chan. Look what she did with Card Captors
Sakura. O yea when it says "Dragon" I don't mean Van. Kotaro is not after Van, lemme reassure all
the Van fans. Thanks for reading and please review. Thank you thank you! ^_^
Extra A/N- To the reviewer "grrrr...." I loved ur review. I noe Dilandau is all mushy and soft but I kinda
like him like that. oOoOo but I can't tell you why he is like that!! Its all part of my master plan!!
*Muahahahaha* Thankz for reading and reviewing.
