Sorry I took so long to update. I've been rather busy lately.
Reasons for not updating sooner (if you don't want to read this, just scroll down to the story):
I have a school project I have been working on that is very important if I want to graduate, which I do.
I have been having problems with my father and have not been in a very good mood.
My parents have been having problems which include my sisters, my brother, and me.
I don't have a computer at home (yet, i hope), so I have to use other computers.
Anywayz, enough bugging you. Let's go on to the rest of the story, shall we?
DISCLAIMER: I don't own "Escaflowne" or "Ayashi no Ceres". They belong to Kawamori Shoji and Watase Yuu. I only own the characters I made up. Which are a few.

The gun fired at Aya.
"Nani?" one of the guards aid as Yumi escaped from his grasp.
Yumi pushed Aya out of the way before she was shot. "Daijoubu, Aya?"
Aya looked at Yumi and nodded. Then she noticed that Yumi had been shot in the arm. "Yumi, you're bleeding!"
Before Yumi could answer, she was grabbed by the arm and pulled away from Aya.
"Yumi!"
"You don't need to worry about her," a guard said. "You should worry about yourself."
"Iie! Don't hurt her!" Yumi yelled out as she tried to free herself. It was in vain.
"Shut up, kid!" one of the other guards said. He walked past Tooya, who was still on the ground, and towards them. He held out a gun to Yumi's head. "You were useless. Now it's time to end your life, little girl."
"Iie! Let her go!" Aya cried out as she stood and tried to take the gun from the guard. He just pushed her away and she landed on the ground next to Tooya.
Yumi was scared. Tears ran down her face. She shut her eyes tight and waited. The guard once again pointed to gun to her head and was ready to pull the trigger.
Then, he saw a bright light coming from the direction Aya was at. He turned to look and saw Ceres. Just a moment later, he disintegrated. The guard that was holding Yumi let her go and took a few steps back. He also disintegrated, along with all the others.
Ceres walked up to Yumi. "Are you alright?" she asked the scared girl. Yumi nodded and Ceres smiled at her. Then she turned her attention to Tooya. Ceres knelt down beside him.
"Tooya? Tooya?"
He moaned and opened his eyes. "C-Ceres?" He sat up and rubbed his head from the dizziness. The three of them stood up. "What's going on here?" Tooya asked to no one in particular.
Ceres looked at him. "This is the work of the Mikage," she responded.
"Nani? But, Kagami is dead. How can that be?" Tooya was confused.
Ceres looked at Yumi who was holding her arm. "We should get you to your home to get that looked at," she told the girl.
Yumi looked at her and said simply, "I don't have a home. I used to live in an orphanage after my parents died," she broke off. Ceres could tell she was still deeply hurt by the loss of her parents. Wouldn't be?
"I'm sorry," Ceres said softly and honestly.
Yumi shook her head slowly. "That's in the past, so let's leave it that way." She smiled at Ceres.
"You should go a hospital to bandage your arm then," Ceres suggested.
Yumi hesitated to respond. Then she finally did, "I don't want to go to a hospital. I don't like hospitals."
"Why?" Tooya asked.
"I just don't," was all Yumi said. She tightened her grip on her arm.
"Then you should come with us," Tooya suddenly said. "Suzumi should be able to help you with your injury."
Yumi nodded.
Ceres smiled at her, then transformed back to Aya.
"Let's go then," Aya said once she was back.
They left the park and headed for the Aogiri Mansion.

Allen was standing outside looking up at the Mystic Moon.
"Stargazing?" he heard someone ask from behind. He recognized the voice as Van's.
"Not really," he answered. Van had asked him to stay in the palace, along with Setsuna.
The young king walked up beside the knight. He looked up at the Mystic Moon as well.
"Do you miss her?" Allen suddenly asked.
Van knew whom he was referring to. The truth was that he missed her more then he knew. "Hai," he finally answered.
"I have a feeling we will see her again," said the knight in a soft voice.
"I hope so."

The room was dark. The lights were off. Setsuna was stirring in her sleep. "No, No! Stay away!" She kept murmuring in her sleep. She wake up startled and sat up quickly. Gasping for air, she look around. She looked out the window and saw it was still dark outside. She must have only been asleep a few hours.
She calmed down and started to breath normal again. Her eyes were wide. She seemed to be sweating. "It's near," she whispered. "They are coming."
