THE PROTECTOR OF INNOCENCE (THE SECRET)
Please r+r! And I shall be quite content to be silent and write!

'Mmm...' Sora yawned and rubbed her eyes several times trying to see properly. Yamato rolled his eyes and sighed gently, "Sam" truely do represent a firl when "he's" waking up.
'Yamato?' Sora openned her eyes and stared at the person in front of her, hoping for an explanation.
'Sam...' Yamato bit his lips hard, thinking of a way to phrase what he anted to confront. 'Do...Have you...Are...'
'What are you trying to say?' Sora asked quizically, she tried her best not to let giggles escape from her mouth for that moment, the desperate expression on Yamato's face does make hime look quite funny and cute. But that thought did not last long, Sora suddenly realised that she is not in her room.
'Uh, Yamato, where am I?' Sora inquired.
Yamato blinked. 'My room. Why??'
'What am I doing in your room?'
'Blame it on your blasted door and stupid Tai. Jyou was so shaken afterwards that he could hardly stand up, so Tai and Izzy tried to get him to the healers and I had to carry you back.' At this point, Yamato paused and took a peak at Sora. Sora on the other hand was blushing furiously as she imagined Yamato carrying her back. Yamato bit his lips and continued, 'anyway, you aren't that heavy but I think your door was jammed, I couldn't make it budge no matter how hard I tried, so I got you to my room instead.'
Sora nodded understandingly and a sign of relief showed on her face. 'Well, I am glad that Jyou is okay.' She told Yamato, but really, in her heart, she blessed Kari for all the trouble she went through to lock the door so it will require password to gain access.
There was a long silence followed her comment for both are deep in their thoughts.
Through the silence, Yamato was going through turmoil, he argued with himself whether confronting 'Sam' was really necessary. He didn't want 'Sam' to be expelled, since 'Sam' was introduced into his life, it has been much brighter and much more amusing, himself is going through dramatic changes due to 'Sam's' influence. He gritted his teeth and decided that he'd keep 'Sam's' secret until 'he' is ready to tell the truth. But who really is Sam?
Meanwhile, Sora was worrying about Mako and 9-lives. She was pretty sure that the incident between Mako and Jyou was the doing of 9-lives. He seems to know quite a great deal about her. She wondered if someone as smart as Izzy might have a clue about him.
'Hey Yamato, do you know anyone who looks kind of elfish and has long blue hair and heterochromia eyes?'
'You are worrying about those silly non-sense again?' He stared at Sora at which she grinned back.
'Just curious, that's all. So, you know anything?' Sora persisted to get an answer.
'Well, this is not my type of things you know. I think Izzy or Jyou or Takeru might've known. Now, go and get some sleep, you are in no position to walk about to find them yet!' Yamato turned around to pick up a mathematic booklet that has being laying around for sometime.
'One problem...' Sora's voice paused his action half way through.
'What?' Yamato stood up agina and asked impatiently. But seeing Sora's uncomfortable glance made him chuckle. No girl would feel comfortable alone in a room with a guy.
'Look, you don't have to worry about me.' He putted in the most subtle way, 'I have some work to finish too,' he indicated the pile of papers on his desk and walked towards the bed. 'Now sleep!' He ordered before placing a kiss on her forehead.
Suddenly he stiffened, he realized what he had just done. He has just treated "Sam" like a girl! Yamato quickly walked away and sat down at his desk to start the work he is suppose to hand in tomorrow.
Sora was also shoked by this sudden movement, she could felt her heart beating faster and she knew that her face is probably as red as tomato. What on earth posesed Yamato to do such an action! 'Did he find out?' She thought as she closed her eye lids and fell back to her dream or nightmare more like it.
* * * * * * * * * * *
'Not again! How did I come here again?' Sora groaned as she woke up and found herself again back in the dark and freezing room. But this time, she didn't feel the presence of him. It wasn't 9-lives who dragged her here this time, she was quite sure. Sora felt the tinkle of excitment down her spin as one of her "splendid" idea formed.
'Since I have no way of getting back yet, maybe I would search around to see why he held such an interest in me...' she muttered to herself as she fiddled with everything in the room.
The few thick books scattered around the room proven to be no use, all it went on about was the tale of The Lost Princess which Takeru told her about until she was quite bored. She openned another book which again had its main focus on The Lost Princess, Sora sighed. She is just about to given up hope of finding anything in her aid, "one more page" she told herself as she flipped again. But this time she has hit the jackpot. There was a letter in the book that was written to "Hsien" from "Lord Takenouchi".
Sora nearly fainted when she saw the name "Lord Takenouchi", 'it must've been her father! It was his handwritting after all!' Sora choked, '"Hsien" must've been the name of demented possibily evil 9-lives but what has her father got to do with it?'
'What ever it is,' she told herself, 'she is going to find out now.'
My dearest Hsien, (the letter reads)
You must've/will hated us for doing this to you. We know you've treasured you "abilities"
more than anything in the whole world and it is our regret that we had to force this
cruel/justical action upon you.
But you had no right to steal the Princess/the infant, although her blood will increase your
abilities! The royalties held no grudge against you, we taught you it was forbidden to hurt someone/anyone unless it was for the greater good that will protect many innocents.
Stealing the princess/the infant was a selfish, inconsiderate act. And therefore you must be punished.
My dearest brother, your father and I have decided that we will withdraw your powers
and install them upon my infant daughter Sora. You should now be pleased that your
"abilities" has not being wasted on me.
Of course, I have to warn you that without your power, you might/will not adjust too well
with sunlight. Any extreme exposure might just turn you into ashes/dust.
yours sincerely: Lord Takenouchi
Sora's hands trembled as she gently place the letter back where it belonged, the words "Hsien", "my brother", "abilities", "Lord Takenouchi" as well as "Princess" raced through her mind as she begins to put the two and two together.
'9-lives, wait, Hsien is my uncle...', She muttered to herself, 'my dad took away his power and installed them on me...' Sora lifted her hands up and studied it.
Suddenly, she stood up and her eyes glittered. 'I will harness the power and I shall find out what Hsien is up to.' She told herself aloud. Wearily, she sank back to the floor and fell asleep without realising that she has gone back to Yamato's warm and cozy bed.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, Yamato has also planned his "research". As he crept out of the room, he has decided he shall go to the library and find out more about the Takenouchi Clan with one question constantly torturing him, "Who is Sam Takenouchi?" He knows he shall not rest until that question is cleared.
