Awwwwww, well, I don't really know if I wanna continue this.... My stories really suck... eekkk! Well, I guess that failing is how you learn... THAT'S because I'm a coward.... hehehe.
Well Moonsong, let's do this. I'll write another 5 chapters, and if I get 10 reviews, the story will keep on! The adventures on the little Neko are really weird, in each chapter she mentions something about her life, it's quite a weird story, but you guys will see what happens.
Anyways, as you see, I'm a really lazy Dragon Charmer, but I like to do some crappy crap. Hey my Dad is a jewelry maker and I asked him to make me a copy of Hitomi's Pendant, oh yeah, it's getting better each time I see it! Eeeeeekk! I already want it! Wacha guys think? Shall I promote this pendant of mine for public selling? Or should I be a nicey pooh girl and listen to the author rights?
Well, since this is not a forum, ficcy wa!

"Look, mom! I brought you a pretty red flower!" The small child extended his hands open towards his mother. A bright red rose lay in his hands, contrasting against the child's prickled hands.
"It's beautiful flower, son," Said the mother; her blue eyes sparkling as her golden hair flowed like waves in the sea. "But you have hurt yourself; I will tell you something, dear. Sometimes, beautiful things might hurt us, so you got to know their interior too." The mother lay her hand in her son's head, patting his silver hair.
"Are you gonna hurt me, mommy?" The child asked incredulously (Kids tend to do it often, that's why I love babysitting ^^), his blue eyes filled with ignorance.
"Of course not, my dear! Now, go ask daddy to put the flower in a pot, okay?" The mother smiled sweetly, and hugged the kid. "I love you, son. And I'm proud of you." She then continued to give the flower back, and send the kid to the mansion.
"Bye, Zenji. I love you..."

Zenji awoke slowly. He always had this dream, his mom. He missed her a lot. Alia was still very little when their mom died, she couldn't remember her. The only memories she had of her where the huge paintings in the halls. Golden hair had been the legacy left to her, Zenji had the blue eyes.
He stood from his bed, the dawn rays welcoming another day. His duties were tiresome, so he woke up early each day, then he could enjoy some morning hours. Slipping his clothes on, he set his way towards the place were his curiosity had left him last night; the Neko Chan.
What was in her that made him forget everything else? Even if she didn't look a lot at him, he could still feel the deepness of her green eyes over him. Thousands of mysteries on Gaea, and she was the only one for him. He was going to know who she really was...
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
She heard footsteps approaching. She jumped from the balcony railing and stood silently behind the door, her tail swinging back and fort. By the smell, she instantly knew it was Zenji, with her ears she could hear Zenji long silver hair swing while he tried to walk silently.
He reminded her of her beloved, not of how he looked, but because of how he acted... That first time she had seen him, he screamed for her sister, it reminded her of so many things... Was fate this cruel? She had to pay for all the things she had done.
She felt hot tears make their way to her eyes. She couldn't cry anymore, she wouldn't. Many tears were shed because of her. She felt her heart tumble with pain and sorrow, was it the end of her dignity? It wouldn't. She had little to fight for, but she wouldn't give up till she ran out of it. She breathed deeply and squeezed in the shadows as Zenji knocked softly in the door. She wasn't ready for him yet.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Tsuki? Are you here?" He said softly as he opened the door slowly. He had knocked several times, but no answer ever came. He got worried and decided to take a peek, just to make sure she was okay.
The plush carpet kept his footsteps quiet as he walked inside. He made his way silently, afraid of catching the Neko on an embarrassing situation. He found the bed made and the whole room was completely empty, where was Tsuki? Had she gone away while everybody slept?
His heart felt heavy. He couldn't help the snowy white creature. Why has she left? Could she even left with all the guards around? And that wound? He began assuming that she was in the mansion, maybe with Shasa.
He got out of the room and headed towards the kitchen. He might as well breakfast while he still has time. But that little one wasn't getting away from him. It wouldn't happen to him again, he would not lose anybody anymore...

"Master Zenji! Lord Stephan is coming for a visit here!" The servant seemed somewhat pissed off, as Zenji did... He was mean with people and really greedy, he wouldn't give away a cent to save anybody he loved; that's if he really loved somebody...
When they were little, and their long gone uncle took care of them, he promised Alia's hand in sacred matrimony. Zenji wanted to hate his uncle for that, but he couldn't bring himself to hate him at all. He didn't know. He thought it was the best for Alia is the family ever came down.
Alia had cried every night since she was 14 and she was informed of the matrimony, just when that freak dude started coming. He knew he wasn't welcomed, but he gave a crap for whatever the siblings thought about it. The fateful day was nearing, and soon Alia was going to go.
"Can't you tell him we aren't home?" Asked Zenji angrily. That freak had him in his finger. He knew Zenji was a pacifist and wouldn't; couldn't, do anything about it. Fate called to their doors and he had to answer it.
"We are sorry, Sir. He insist in visiting thee, and he does not care if thou shall be in the mansion." The servant kneeled sadly. He knew how his master felt. It was hard to deal with such a cruel man.
"We cannot do nothing now. We shall hope for the best and try to be nice." Zenji was frustrated, mad, angry, emotions filling his blood. There had to be a way to get rid of him. But how? Shall it cost him their well fare? For his dear sister, anything would fit quite fine...
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Hey, I'm glad you've come!" Alia was happy now, she waved her hand at Sasha from the breakfast table. Murky days at home where better knowing Sasha. She was way more than a maid. She and Tsuki were her best friends now. She hadn't had friends in many years, because their mansion was in the fields. Bright sunny days were her only friends... Till now.
"Hello, Lady Alia. Greetings at her well being." Sasha bowed, still a little afraid of her friendship.
"Hey, don't take formalities on me. I'm just Alia, ok? Tell me, is it true... what I heard a while ago?" Alia changed her happy face for an anguishing one.
"I'm afraid it is true. He won't stay long, just a quick visit. Andrew says that he's coming from a business in Hanya and the mansion it's just in his way." Sasha smiled, she was also mad, but the servants had no paper on it.
"Where's Tsuki?" Alia then noticed that she wasn't with Sasha.
"That's the reason I've come down. I haven't seen her yet. I went to her room, but she was not there."
"Let's go look for her..." Alia got up from the table and headed down the hallway, Sasha following behind.

Before nightfall, Zenji had the whole castle turned upside down searching for the Neko Chan. Every corner was searched 50 times, and nobody saw her. Had the lovely creature gotten away? If she didn't, then she was good at hiding.
Soon it was midnight and the Neko Chan hadn't show up. Zenji walked into the small garden in the back of the castle. His mother used to come there and play with him; sad memories came to his mind and with them the cat girl one. She couldn't go! Not now! She couldn't do this to him! Zenji sat frustrated, his bangs covering his blue eyes...
"Why did you do this to me?" Zenji asked at no one as he kicked a little stick in the floor. "You helped me, why don't you let me help you?" his heart felt heavy. He was not even brave to tell the Neko this. "Why?" his lips whispering slowly... "If I only where there for the ones that need me... I'm a piece of crap! I couldn't help my mother! I wasn't there when she needed me. I shouldn't have left her alone..." Tears making their way down his cheeks, leaving streaks that sang sadness and sorrow...
"You know why she send you to put them in water?"
Zenji sat up. Looking for the source of the voice. She hadn't heard that one before... He cleaned his tears, lords don't cry about past things. But... how... how... did the voice know about it?
"She knew they were there... They wanted you. And she wasn't going to give you up."
Zenji looked upwards. It sounded like an angelically voice. But the white flash in the roof, told him the truth...
