Chapter 3: Duet
Nakoruru~ Happy days. I'm finally getting a chance to write chapter 3. I always find something that occupies my time rather than writing. I mean, I just up and left with my co-writer on her trip, and I didn't even try to work.
Kai~ That's why you're not a good write- (Kai is hit with a brick)
Nakoruru (angry and brow twitches)~ What was that, Kai? (silence) Thought so. Okay, notes for this chapter. Well, I'd like tot thank everyone who gave me a review. Which, I think, is ShadowCat and Piximon. Chapter 3 is about to fill everyone in a little on who these mystic bladers are. So sit back and enjoy!! Oh, and one more thing. Anything that is between "~ ~" symbols isn't spoken out loud, you'll understand why soon enough.

A young girl with brown eyes looked into the incubators. On display to her are different types of animals. She frowns a bit as she places her hand to one of the tanks and closes her eyes. "I can feel your pain. I know how you feel, trapped in a cage you can't get out of."
The young girl opened her eyes to look at the salamander that glared down at her. This was one of the bit beasts that she and her friends had captured from one of the best bladers that she had come across. If she recalled correctly, his name was Johnny. His style had impressed her, and she had felt the fire that stirred in his heart, which had made it so much harder to defeat him, but she had to. She just had to.
"Forgive what we must do. I have no control over it, I just must do it." The girl turned away from the incubator to stare at another. "Trygle." This one came from the leader of the All Stars, Micheal. He too had put up an excellent battle, but she had still dominated over him. The girl closed her eyes, feeling the hatred each of the bit beasts in the room felt. She clasped her heart, feeling everything overwhelm her. "Please, stop it. I'm sorry, but I have to follow instructions! There is no other way!"
The girl ran out the room, trying to escape from the emotions that the bit beast were bombarding her with. As she turned a corner, she bumped into a man. He stopped her as she tried to flee. "Sakura, what's wrong?"
The girl looked up at the male who had her by the arm. His dark green eyes looked down at her with confusion. "Tohru. . .it's nothing. I'm fine." She looked away from him to the ground. How could she tell him how she was feeling?
~Sakura, what is it. It's the bit beasts isn't it?~ The girl did not respond to his telepathic question, yet she knew that he could tell because of the psychic bond that was between them. She didn't want her older brother to worry about her, but he always seemed to, anyway. ~Answer me, Sakura.~
~It's nothing. I was just overwhelmed for a moment. I'm fine now.~ She replied back telepathically.
The young man sighed, and then let her go. "I told you not to get too close to them. You know how easily your empathy picks up things." The young girl nodded, he sighed again. She had always been like, even before their parents died when they were four and five. She had begun to get more like this all the time. "Come on, we have to report in."
"Alright," she said softly. The two walked down the corridor, sometimes passing scientist and engineers along the way. Neither said a word, but they could tell everyone was watching them.
Everyone had always watched them. Because of their psychic powers, the two siblings and their friends were always looked upon as different. The only person that treated them as if they were something normal was the man they worked for. Sakura sighed, and then looked up at her brother.
"How much longer will this go on, Tohru? How much longer before we don't have to do this anymore?"
The young man looked down at her, shaking his head. Who knew when this would end. Tohru pushed open a pair of double doors and stepped into a carpeted area of the building. This area was different from the technological part they had been in. Continuing their trip, the two turn right to another hall. At the end of the hall was a lone door. Walking down to it, Tohru knocked on the door once.
"Come in," said a deep male's voice. Tohru pushed open the door to the room, letting Sakura and himself in. Once inside, he closed the door back, and faced the man who was sitting at the mahogany table. He had dark red hair with a few streaks of gray in it. His dark brown eyes shifted from one to the other. "So, give me your report."
"So far, we've managed to capture all of the White Tigers' bit beasts, all of the All Stars, and the Majestics," replied Tohru.
"And the others?" inquired the man looking at Sakura.
"They are watching the Bladebreakers as you requested. They are waiting for your orders, sir."
"Good." The male turned his full attention to Sakura. "Tell me, my dear Sakura, have you foreseen anything else that I should know." Not only was the girl telepathic and empathic, she was also a very strong dream seer.
"Last night I dreamt that the four beasts of legend rose up around us and engulfed us, but then a bright light came up around them. We somehow survived and watched as they created from the destruction." Sakura bowed her head, it was the same dream she had for the past week, and she still didn't understand what it meant. "I'm sorry sir, but I haven't been able to get a message out of it."
"That alright my dear Sakura. I think I know what it means. That soon the time to execute my plan will be at hand. I shall control those four beast of legend and no one will be able to stop me."
"But. . ." Sakura saw her brother shake his head. It would do no good to tell their uncle that the dream she had was of different significance than he thought of it. ~But Tohru, we have to tell uncle that my dream. . .~
~No, we will let him think that your dream is as he speaks of it. We cannot disobey him now, you know what will happen if we do. It will be like last time.~
Sakura remembered the last time she had disobey her uncle. He had triggered the berserker system that he had implanted into not only her, but the others as well. Sakura shivered, remembering the emptiness and fear of losing control of her body and mind. She never wanted that to happen again. Not to her, or the others.
"Sir, what are your next orders?" Tohru inquired.
The man looked at him with a short malignant smile. "I think it's about time the Bladebreakers are introduced to the Mystics. Tohru go tell the others. Sakura, you stay here with me until the others get back. I want you go under for a dream reading."
"Yes sir," the two said simultaneously. The two turned from their uncle and exited the room. Sakura had a bad feeling about this, she wish she didn't have to do it. Something just wasn't right about it. Not right at all.

Nakoruru (wrapping Kai's head with gauze)~ So, now we know a little bit more about the mysterious bladers that have been stealing the bit beasts from other bladers. So. . .write and tell me what you think, people.
Kai (angry)~ I hope no one gives you a review.
Nakoruru (smacking him in the head)~ Shut up before I give you more brain damage. It's your fault for saying all that stuff. If you had never said I was a bad writer, you would not be bleeding on my floor.
Kai (shouting)~ Will you take it easy?!
Ray~ Um, Nakoru-san, I've been meaning to ask, why are your chapters named after the books to X/1999?
Nakoruru~ Oh, you noticed. Well, I really idolize the CLAMP women, and the titles seemed to fit for the atmosphere that my story is working at. I really hope to make the chapters longer, maybe the next chapter shall be! Reviews! Let's see them come in!!
