//*~Aono~*//



I was suddenly aware that I was standing in the middle of a large room. "Here at last I see!" A familiar haughty voice said. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was. (I didn't *want* to turn around to know who it was either) "Grandfather Jun? What's going on??" I asked. I felt something poke me in the small of my back. I turned. "And.uh.why are you dressed like an ancient Chinese woman?" I asked scratching my head. Grandfather Jun scowled more than usual. He was wearing old traditional Chinese robes and Ri's little cousins were standing beside him dressed in a similar manner. "Hmph, says you." He held up a mirror. Now, it's rare that I use profanity, but upon seeing what I saw, I couldn't help it. "What in the fucking hell is going on here?!?" I gasped when I caught my reflection. "Oooooo, Aono-sama said a baaaad word!" The little girls chorused. A shaking hand ghosted to the side of my face. "Is this what that Yui girl meant when she was talking about me wearing make-up?" I murmured. I looked down at myself carefully. I was wearing red robes. Blood red robes, they were accented in navy blue and yellow. My hair was also was VERY long, it was pulled into a high ponytail on the top of my head and still managed to reach the back of my calfs! I stared at my hands. My nails were long as well and steeped in crimson, as if they were blood soaked. I looked at my face once more. It was painted a ghostly white with sweeping lines of indigo and black as well as accents of red. "I-I'm a FREAK!" I stuttered. I was abruptly bopped on the head by Grandpa Jun's cane. "Get a hold of yourself!" He said gruffly. "What's-why?" I was at a complete loss for words. Grandpa Jun rolled his eyes. "I have been told that the name of your band is Reincarnation. Do you believe in it?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "I guess so, yeah." I said at last. He tapped his cane on the floor thoughtfully. "You have been thinking things and dreaming things that do not make sense, am I right?" He asked again. "Well, yeah." I said shuffling my black boots on the floor. "What would you do if I told you that those were memories from your past life?" I stared at her-er him. "You have GOT to be kidding me." I whispered, the look on Grandpa Jun's face said: 'Do I LOOK like I'm kidding?' "Okay, that's it. I think it's time for me to leave this dream now. I said, making use of my newly extended nails and pinching my forearm. When I opened my eyes, I was still standing across from Grandpa Jun that the triplets. I shut my eyes and pinched myself again and again and again. "Grandpa Jun, why is Aono doing that?" asked one of the little girls on my fifth try. "He's in denial." Came the hoarse answer. "Arg! My stupid nails are like fifty feet long and I can't wake myself up!!" I cried in despair. "Now are you going to listen to me?" Grandpa Jun asked with a sigh. I hung my head. "Sure, why not." I grumbled. Grandpa Jun cleared his throat and began: "Have you studied the Chinese fairy tail about the Universe of the Four Gods?" He asked. "Sure." I said shrugging. "Mythology is my major." I replied. "So, long ago, you were known as the Seiryuu seishi Tomo." He rasped. I felt a sort of heat wave on the name. A sense of familiarity. "To put things simply, you were a bastard." Grandpa Jun said shortly. He began to explain things, tell me about my life as a seishi. As a child of Seiryuu. I couldn't believe the things that I was hearing! "That Yui girl. she was my priestess and Miaka was the priestess of Suzaku? So they fought?" I wondered. Grandpa Jun nodded and began to explain more. When he was done, I asked him: "Why are you telling me this?" "You're the only one that truly remembers, the others remember some, but you remember the most." He replied at last. "Don't tell anyone else, it would be wrong to change their lives in such a dramatic way." "Yeah, that' an' they'd thing I'm stark raving mad." I mumbled. "I will warn you though, know that you now, you will remember more." He said. "That's fine by me." I replied shrugging. One of Ri's little cousins (I can never remember their names.) spoke hesitantly. "Ri is sick isn't he Aono?" she asked with big innocent eyes. I stooped down so the child and I were eye level. "Yeah. He is." "Really sick isn't he? Is he gonna be alright?" she asked, her big eyes brimming with tears. I gave her what I took to be a brave smile. "Sure he is." I said while trying to sound cheerful. "You know Ri, he's always alright." I didn't want to lie to the little girl, but if I told her that I didn't know that would up set her. And that's the last thing we need. "Is he going to get better soon?" she asked. I put a hand on her shoulder. "I bet he will be." I said quietly. Though is sure didn't seem like it this evening. "Are you gonna help him get better Aono?" she asked in her innocent little voice. I smiled sadly. "I'll do all I can." I replied. "Enough questions Nyan Nyan." Grandpa Jun said to the child. "Aono, come over here with me for a moment." He began to walk over to a large window. I got up and followed. So did the triplets. "Without you three!" Grandpa Jun huffed. I walked over to the window where he was standing. "Really, Aono, how bad is he?" the old man asked with a considerably dropped voice. "Bad." I said shaking my head. "He's coughing so hard and his skin was so hot and I don't know what's wrong with him." I could feel tears pricking my eyelids again. I didn't let them fall this time. They'd ruin my makeup. "And do you know if he's going to make it?" "No. He seems pretty bad right now, I can only hope he's gonna get better." Grandpa Jun was about to ask another question, but a small whimper cut him off. It some how was coming from above our heads. I heard the sound of coughing, painful coughing. //Help me.// a small voice pleaded quietly. That was Ri's voice I know it was. "I think that I need to go." I said very quickly. Grandpa Jun nodded.
