Silent Sage: Hey everyone!!! I'm so totally sorry for not updating as much as I wanted to. All these tests and stuff are driving me crazy. I also couldn't seem to get any inspiration from anything, but here I am, writing another chapter in my little fic. Hope you like it.

"Misaki, what are you actually wearing?" Aya was leaning on the door frame of Misaki's room.

"My new school uniform, isn't it cute?"

Aya gave Misaki's outfit a look. It was slightly above knee length, but still very conservative. It was blue and white. Just like her old junior high uniform, just with different colors.

"Interesting attire, but Misaki why are you going to school. You've already passed all the college courses, and you have several degrees in psychology. You could get any job you wanted," Aya sweatdropped, "well………….after a couple of years. I doubt people would want a 14 year old psychologist."

"I know, but if I'm going to watch over my friends I might as well go to their school also." Misaki checked herself in the mirror once more.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're wearing the same cover up you wore from yesterday."

"I can't let them know it's me, you know that." This time she had a pair of glasses on, making Misaki look more mystifying and harmless.

"But Misaki……………" Aya looked down at the ground for a second, wondering what she should say.

"I'll be alright. It hurts my heart knowing that I'm lying from the ones I love, but as long as they are safe, I'm happy."

Aya sighed softly, and looked out of the window. She took something from behind her back and threw it at Misaki.

Misaki caught it with ease and examined it intriguingly, "An umbrella?"

"If you're going to go to school, you'll need the umbrella later. It's gonna rain soon, and I'd rather you not get wet."

Misaki's eyes seemed to glow with delight as she ran over to hug Aya.

"Oh thank you so much Aya!!" Misaki warmly hugged Aya, relief apparent in her voice.

"There's hugging in this room and no one told me about it?" a voice said in the doorway.

"Kei!" Misaki blanched as Kei gave her a scrutinizing look at her disguise.

"May I ask why you're wearing a school uniform and in disguise?" Kei walked up to her and looked curiously down at her. Misaki may have grown to a normal height over the years she had been with Aya and him, but she was still a bit shorter then most people.

Misaki quickly looked down, trying to evade eye contact with him. "Sorry Kei, I just-" She was quickly cut off and brought into a tight embrace.

"Don't worry Misaki, I don't mind if you do decide to go to school to watch over your friends, but you could have at least told us you were going to go to school."

Misaki stepped away from Kei's embrace, and bowed her head low, looking at her shoes. "Sorry Kei. I thought you and Aya would've gotten mad if I did go, so I instead enrolled secretly." She turned around, shame apparent in her wide blue eyes, "I suppose now you don't trust me anymore, since I broke your trust……….."

Suddenly a pair of slim arms brought her into another hug. "No, Misaki. You were only doing what you thought was right, you may have done it without my or Kei's consent, but you were doing it from the good of your heart, so we could never really be mad at you."

Tears formed edge of Misaki's eyes, as she hugged Aya back. "Thank you Aya, Kei!!! I'll try my best to make you proud. I've gotta go, I'll meet you guys later. I'll see you later!" Misaki, in less then a second grabbed all of her school items and ran out of the house, opening her umbrella the instant she was outside.

Two figures followed Misaki to the doorway, watching the innocent girl disappear beneath the horizon. Placid marine blue and composed amethyst eyes watched her disappear, before Aya murmured what Kei had chosen not to say out loud, but only in his mind. "No Misaki, you always make us proud, no matter what………" She trailed off still looking at sidewalk where Misaki had just disappeared. 

Kei looked down to see Aya's quivering figure as she tried to hold back the tears that were trying to come out.

He lightly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and held her warm body close to him. Aya's head was lightly placed on top of his chest, allowing the young women to cry. His shirt was getting damp, but Kei just ignored that and soothingly rubbed her back, trying to reduce the flow of tears that were being cried from the aqua haired maiden.

"Don't worry Aya, Misaki is much stronger then she looks, she'll do just fine when she meets her old friends." Kei gently lifted the tear soaked face to close to his, and brought out a tissue, tenderly drying her slightly red eyes.

"I know Kei, but I can't help but worry," she lowered her head down, allowing her forehead to rest on his shoulder, "Misaki, she may act older then her age, but you mustn't forget, she's only a child." Aya paused for a second, which felt more like an eternity to the amethyst-eyed man. "A child, who has to grow up to fast and now knows to much to go back to the way it was before she found out her destiny."

Those last words stung his heart to its very center. No matter how hard he tried to admit, Aya was right. Misaki, she always tried to act like an adult and stop him and Aya from worrying about her so much. And she proved right. Kei had begun to stop realizing that she was only a child, a child whose destiny was to fight an ongoing feud between two legendary powerful clans.

The feud, or more like war, had started several centuries ago. The White Fang clan were a peaceful prosperous family who were known far and wide for their powerful fighting style. A neighboring clan, called the Black Dragon clan had grown jealous of the White Fang's and their legendary fighting skills.

It was when the Black Dragon clan had begun terrorizing the other neighboring clans. One by one, every clan fell to the gluttonous and cold-blooded Black Dragons, until several family members of the White Fang clan got involved. The Black Dragons had slowly begun devising a plan to destroy the White Fangs.  It didn't work though, instead it backfired. The White Fangs had managed to hear about the assault and had swiftly countered the attack and left the Black Dragons in shambles. After the horrible battle the Black Dragon Clan slid into the shadows and hid from history until several years ago, on that tragic day, did they emerge from hiding.

For they were the ones who had set Misaki Suzuhara's house caught on fire.

Silent Sage: So, what'd you think? Is this story bad, good, or just plain weird? I'm really sorry my updates are so late. There's too much going on at my school, so my updates are going to be a bit late. Now everyone, don't forget to submit a review by clicking that little bluish-purple square thingy over there. I really want you're opinion on this fic, so I except flames also, just don't be harsh.
