Takeru smiled as his older brother turned to smile at him once more before he turned off the light and left Takeru to sleep. Takeru was glad that Yamato had been found, although he wasn't too pleased with the fact that his brother was walking around the house instead of relaxing so his body could mend faster. Takeru rolled his eyes and smiled as he looked around at the room.

"Dude, we can't do this." Takeru looked around the dark room for the source of the voice, but found none.

"Shut-up. If we do this then we can return to normal and everything will be fine and like it used to be." Takeru's eyes widened in horror as he felt something being pushed against his mouth. Takeru started to struggle, but found that the more he struggled the weaker he became. Soon, the darkness welcomed Takeru into it's black abyss for an eternal rest.

Yamato walked down the hall of his grandparent's home. Yamato was hesitant as he bypassed Takeru's room. He had just said his good nights only a few minutes ago, but something told him to go in and check on the boy.

"Takeru?" Yamato queried as he flipped on the light. He looked around at the empty room. "Takeru?" Yamato ran over to the bed to see if Takeru was hiding underneath it. He wasn't.

"Aw, the poor blond rock star lost his little brother." Yamato jerked his head towards the window. There standing, or rather, levitating there was an apparition of Yoshio. He was smiling all too menacingly and Yamato felt his blood boiling.

"Where is he!?" Yamato demanded. Yoshio smiled at his friend.

"Return to the shack and see your lover and brother. Return to the green where you first laid and where all dreams return you in one way or another. Return the land where betrayal is as air and love is a shallow dream. " The apparition vanished like smoke in the night and Yamato stared at the spot where the boy had been.

"Yamato?" Taichi asked quietly as he stared at the blond kneeling before the window. Taichi placed a hand on his friend's shoulder, causing him to slightly flinch at the coldness of his friend.

"Takeru…Sora…"Yamato murmured as he slowly looked at Taichi. "Where do my dreams take me, Tai?" Taichi looked at his friend's entranced face shiftily. Yamato still spoke to his friend as if he was receiving an answer. "Where does this land run where betrayal is like air and love a dream? Where does my lover and brother rest?" Taichi took a step back, now Yamato was scaring him. What did he mean by calling Sora his lover and where was Takeru?

"Yamato, listen, I don't think that you and Sora pretending to be a couple means you two are-" Taichi was cut off by the sudden flash of life that returned to Yamato's face.

"Taichi, sorry, I was thinking about a play that Takeru and Sora had told me about once. Sorry." Yamato lied like a dog and knew it, but it didn't matter he was going to go find Takeru and Sora. Yamato stood and left the room and Taichi questioning the scene that had just transpired.

"Sora?" Takeru asked in a hushed tone. He glanced at his friend's motionless body. "Sora, wake up." Takeru said with more urgency as he stared at her.

She moved.

"What?" Sora moaned as he looked around the room. She looked at Takeru and smiled. "Ishida Takeru." Takeru raised his eyebrow. Sora never in her life had referred to him like that.

"Sora, are you feeling ok?" Takeru asked as he placed his hand to her forehead.

"Fine." Sora glanced in the direction of three figures. "Sang's there, isn't he?" Takeru looked at the group and shook his head. He felt the betrayal run through him at the thought of the people that held them there.

"No, Yoshio, Kani and Seki are over there." Sora's face drained. She hadn't known that they were all in this together. Yet, somehow it didn't surprise her that much. Sora knew that Ciel was capable of taking control at any moment and until then Sora was her eyes and ears. Ciel had explained that Sang would kill Yamato and take Sora to be his if they did not slaughter Sang then.

"Ciel, Love, you've awaken." Sora nodded at the familiar face that smiled at her. She had never once yearned to be near him, but suddenly Sora felt every muscle in her tense as he kissed her lips. A feeling of relaxation ran through Sora's body. Sora's mind immediately flew to the image of Yamato's lips on hers for one brief minute. She forgot that it had happened about ten years ago, but she still remembered his touch. At that memory, she grabbed the clip from her hair and jammed it into Sang's neck.

"AHHH!" Sang bellowed, causing the small house to shake. Sang glared at Sora in utter disbelief. "Ciel, what did you do?" Sang's eyes looked like Sora and all of her friends, only they were a silver-blue mix.

"Sang!" Sora felt her conscious being thrown against the far back of her mind as Ciel took control.

"SORA!" Takeru screamed as a pair of hands grabbed him. He watched as Sora ran to Sang and removed the clip and attempted to stop the bleeding. Takeru couldn't understand why his friend was cradling the monster in her arms. Hadn't he kidnapped her and taken her from her loved ones? 'Maybe its that Stockholm syndrome, Yama told me about when he was in Psych.' Takeru thought as he stared at the confusing sight.

~\/. /\_/\ .\/~

Yamato stared at the large ocean before him. Him knew this place well, he dreamt of it every night.

"AHHHHH" Yamato lunged forwards towards the house. He knew that was neither Takeru nor Sora's scream, but still he had to find them.

Yamato's feet stomped on the grassy sand as he neared the small abandoned town. Yamato stared in shock. He had never seen this small village before, but he had seen the beach and landscape as if he had been there once.

"SORA!!" This new scream brought Yamato to his senses. Not only did he know that voice and could tell how scared the owner was, just by the sound, but that it was calling for Sora.

"I'm coming Takeru! Sora! Hold on you guys!" Yamato sprinted forward, towards the large blacksmith's shack.

"Ciel?" Sang looked at the shape of his love. Had he not whittled the past four hundred years away pining for his fiery spirited love? Then when he finally had her, was he not in the same position he had left her in? Why?

"Sang?" Ciel's voice had the sudden old French accent, and Sang felt his heart rise in his throat. He had longed to hear her voice, he knew when he had taken Sora that she would never fully satisfy him, but now…Sang looked at Ciel in disbelief. This woman was his. She was the Ciel he had taken and given himself to over four centuries ago. He could only smile as he felt her lips against his.

"Don't you plan on leaving me Sang Ishida!" Ciel said as she pulled away from him. "You are staying with me this time. I won't be having you leave me ever." Ciel smiled as the tears came to her eyes.

"How?" Sang asked quietly staring at her. She knew his question, but she would let him finish, remembering how he was about being interrupted. "How did you get here?"

"You have walked this planet for many years, Sang. While I have spent what feels like eternity awaiting for your return, but my health faded and I left this planet, swearing I'd return. I waited patiently for the time to return for you." Sang brushed a tear from Sang's cheek.

"I do not comprehend, Love." Ciel smiled at Sang's pet name for her.

"I have slept within Sora for many years. Now I have been capable of awakening, because I would've killed the poor girl. She had to be physically and emotionally stable. Also, she had to be sixteen." Ciel smiled wickedly. "Your memory transfer only sped up the process."

"Sora!" Takeru screamed from his place. He had heard every word that this woman called Ciel had uttered. He realized quickly that Sora had had her 16th birthday about a week ago. Takeru feared the new person that controlled his friend, but he feared his brother's reaction when Yamato finally came for them.

"Shut that hole in your face, nephew!" Sang demanded. Ciel smiled at her love.

"I love you, Sang. Please don't let us be separated again." Ciel whispered as she buried her head against his chest, his arms snaking around her body.

The door swung open and Sang stared in horror at the person standing there.

"Bastard! Let go of her!"

Uh-oh a cliff hanger, what do you guys think? Who do you think is the guy? I won't update until I get at least three names. I might have a reward, if I can figure out what and how I could do it. Hope you enjoy. ^.^V
