Meetings of Friendships (PART 1)

A brown-haired girl, named Kari, slept in her slumber peacefully, unaware of anything going on outside her dreams. She was a girl of beauty and kindness but a mystery surrounded her. Only the people that knew her most knew what that secret was. These people came to be known to her as her second family.

She stirred in her sleep as golden light beams streaked her gentle face through green leafed trees. She slowly opened her eyes to a landscape that was breathtaking. Mountains stood tall as trees fought for sunlight to reach their outstretched branches. The lakes held a certain tranquility that would make one hold their breath in awe at this serenity in a world full of chaos.

Kari sat up and thought, 'Tai…today will be the day we will finally meet after eight years of separation. I wished we were never alienated from each other so long ago after our parents died. But we were never really separated for I can feel your presence in my mind. Your presence might not be strong, but I know it will be once we meet again.' She stood up and looked down at the village that lay in front of her.

People were already awake going about their normal business. Children were playing; mothers were doing normal housework, while fathers were out in the fields or doing some other task.

Kari took particular attention to one family. There were two kids, one a boy and his younger sister. They were playing a game of pretend fighting, until the girl got hurt and started to cry. The boy stopped and went directly to his sister to see if she was all right.

"Jenny, are you alright? I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Honest." he said with concern on his face.

The girl continued to cry until she felt a warm hand touch her shoulder. She looked up to see her brother kneeling, looking at the scrap she had received when she feel down. Her brother then bent over, kissed her wound, and leaned back. (a/n: I know that most brothers wouldn't do that, unless they are abnormally nice to their sisters. If so, I wish I had one.)

"Now, do you feel better?"

"Yah! Thanks Kevin." said the little girl.

"No prob. Next time I'll go easier on you cause I know you're weaker than I am."

The little girl was about to protest when they heard their mother's voice calling them that breakfast was ready. They both looked at each other and ran to their house as fast as their little legs could carry them. When they got to their destination, their dad and mom met them. The dad picked up both his children and one by one started to spin them around until they got dizzy and fell to the ground. They all laughed and retreated to the house for breakfast.

Kari watched the whole scene. 'Momma…papa…I miss you both.' A single tear ran down her cheek and was brushed away by the wind, as she turned to walk down to the training camp.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At the camp, everyone was getting ready for the arrival of a new ninja, whose said to be accompanied by the legendary senshi, Gennai. Unknown to them, this ninja was the so-called long lost prince of D-3. All, but the grown ups in the camp and Kari knew the prince's secret.

"Sora, did you hear…about our new recruit? Supposedly, he's to be arriving with the legendary ninja and senshi, Gennai," whispered Mimi to Sora as they were walking to the breakfast hall. Mimi was about the age of 14. She had long light brown hair that reached to her waist. She wore the standard uniform for a solider of her age that showed every curve of anybody's body. Part of the uniform was wearing leather boots that went all the way up to just below the knee. (a/n: I don't know if they had that kind of material back then. Sorrie, I'm not good at describing clothes. Hehehe. If u have any suggestion on clothing, then go right ahead and put it in ur review.)

"Yah, and?" said Sora, not quite interested in the new recruit. Sora was 15 and didn't care much about cute guys. She also, wore the same thing.

"Well, maybe the new recruit will be cute. Remember the last one? He was way cute!"

"I remember, perfectly. He was the one that tried to make a move on me and I knocked his sorry butt back to where ever he came from." (a/n: sorrie, I really like to swear. That might seem strange. But the only time that I don't feel the guilt of swearing is when I'm real mad. Hehehehhe.)

"O yah, sorry about that. I forgot. Well, look on the bright side, you got your revenge and after Matt had a little fun with him. He still can't get the blood stains off his sword."

"I know. I remember you said that we looked like the perfect couple and then you signed me up to be his partner in a training match. Remember! Remember! I hope you won't do the same this time."

Mimi looked down and started to move her index fingers together in a nervous way. (a/n: anime way) "Well,…you see…I…did…exactly that."

Sora quickly pulled Mimi to the side and pushed her against the wall. (a/n: nothing against Mimi, she is one of my favorite characters.) "You what?!"

"I…I…signed you up. Yeh-Yeh-Yeh."

"Arrgh, Mimi! How could you? You know I don't like being paired with someone I don't know." By this time Sora let go of Mimi and faced the ground.

"Cheer up Sora! If you hate it that much to be paired with the new guy, then just try extra hard to pass the tryouts for new twilight warriors." (a/n: I couldn't think of a better name; plus twilight warriors highest rank for a ninja.)

"Oh shoot! Mimi I totally forgot." said Sora in a panicked stricken voice. She started to sprint down the road to the training grounds.

"Sora what'd you forget?" asked Mimi as she followed Sora. Mimi was having a hard time catching up to Sora since Sora was a faster runner than herself.

"I forgot that the tryouts were today."

"What?!?!?!!!!! They didn't tell us. I hate it when Mr. Motomiya does that."

They finally arrived, gasping for air. Out of nowhere came a voice, "So, I see you finally made it."

Sora turned around, pulling out her scythe to a ready position. Her long blade gleamed in the light which made a person imagine a certain magnificent sound come from its gleaming. "Uh? Whose there?"

Mimi quickly grabbed her bow and arrow and nervously took aim at the first thing that moved. "Ohh, I hope it isn't an ugly bakemono. (a/n: Japanese for monster if you didn't know.) I hate them! Especially, when you stab them in the eyes, the blood gets all over you. Plus, I'm not even in the right outfit. I know I should of worn my pink wonder bra (a/n: Sorry I just couldn't resist. Someone gave me the idea. One other thing I'm not a hentai writer because I can't write for dung.) with sparkling glitter right at the…"

"Enough! Please say no more." shouted the voice from before.

"Although it'd be nice to imagine, I'll try to save my mind and eyes for the real thing." said another voice.

Mimi recognized the voice and quickly ran to the source, dropping her bow and arrow. "Matt Ishida come out of that bush this instant!" she yelled.

"Uh-oh. We're in for it now." He tried to run off, but Mr. Motomiya grasped his collar and dragged him to the tree opening.

Mr. Motomiya gave Matt an amused face and stated as a matter of factly, "You mean your in for it."

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard and Mr. Motomiya fell to the ground twitching. Mimi stood proud, wiping her hands as if they had dirt on them. "Or… maybe not," said Mr. Motomiya as he slowly tried to clutch his thumping head. Matt quickly shrieked in horror. "Oh no, I swear I meant it in a good way Mimi. I swear. Please don't hurt me. I only meant to say that you're the most beautiful girl I laid eyes on."

Mimi slowly turned her gaze from the lying figure of Mr. Motomiya to the horrified blonde. The anger shown on her face gradually turned to a sympathetic smile. "Oh

Matt…", whispered Mimi as she walked to Matt, and met his awaiting arms and lips.

Sora stood still and watched the couple. It seemed so unreal how the couple could go through an argument, and end up so magnificently content with each others presence without trying to rip each others throats out. 'That's Mimi for you', Sora's eyes then turned to the figure still on the ground. "Oh no, I almost forgot about you Mr. Motomiya", said Sora. She ran to

Mr. Motomiya and steadily helped him up.

Mr. Motomiya grunted several times in the process. He slowly lifted his head to see that Mimi and Matt were practically swallowing each others face. "I see Matt got out of this one, easily", grunted Mr. Motomiya as he quickly faced the other direction, "Sora, maybe we should leave this fluffy scene. I need to talk to you in private."

Sora gladly accepted his invitation, "Mr. Motomiya, I would practically do anything to get out of here. Even have another lecture from Joe on the importance of washing your hands every time you finish a single match." Mr. Motomiya smiled, "Yah, Joe is nice lad, but sometimes he goes a little overboard."

They finally reached the opening of the forest where it met the training field. The training field was enormous. Enormous wasn't the right word for the field. A more appropriate description for it would be a valley. The grass in most was slightly overgrown, but in some places it was knee high. The sun now shone in the middle of the sky. It was probably noon, for the field was empty except for the occasional deer and other creatures.

Sora gazed at the opening field. She loved the field. Every time she was in it she felt at a calm in her hectic life. Sora closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the sweet air as the wind made her hair dance to their own rhythms. 'Sora…', came a hoarse whisper. Sora's eyes snapped wide open. The sky suddenly turned from a pale blue to a pitch black. She cautiously looked around. She couldn't see Mr. Motomiya anymore. "Mr. Motomiya…", she frantically asked as she looked around her for any sign of him, "Mr. Motomiya are you there. Mr. Motomiya this is no time to be joking. Mr. Motomiya?…Mr. Motomiya?!"
