RayEarth: True Will decided over Fate
Chapter One: Awakening of the Savior
The bell had rang to start the last class of Hikaru's day. She had been doodling in her notebook again, not paying attention in class, when she heard a whisper coming from behind her, "Hikaru-san.. if you daze too much you'll get in trouble.."
Hikaru turned around to see the new student, Tsukino Kagami smiling at her. She returned to smile, "Thanks Kagami-chan, I've just been a little tired is all..." she smiled kindly at the girl her same age. She had met Kagami no more than a few weeks ago, and she seemed pulled by the girl. Not because of her looks, who she did look like someone, but she couldn't shake who it was; but she was pulled by the pure will and strong heart this girl had. She was diagnosed with a grave disease that was slow working on a person's system. And yet she was here, in school.
Kagami smiled at Hikaru, and looked at the drawing, to see that it was a picture of two men; two men who seemed to grip at her soul, as if something inside her was missing, screaming at her to wake up. She felt her eyes dance with unshed tears, her hand against her chest.
Just then, a teacher came to the door of the class. "Excuse me Kirihara-sensei," the other teacher said to the one teaching, then looked in the direction of Kagami and Hikaru, "Tsukino-kun?" the teacher called out.
Kagami stood up with a strange weakness, "Hai?" she asked, the look in the teacher's eyes was what worried her the most.
The teacher waved at her to come out into the hallway with him, "Please come out here... I have news i need to tell you..." he instructed.
"May Shidou-san come with me sensei?" Kagami asked with worry, speaking without thinking. Hikaru looked up to see that there was indeed, a great fear in her eyes. "I would appreciate, if Shidou-san would be able to come with me..."
The teacher looked at Hikaru, but she merely nodded, taking a hold of Kagami's hand in assurance, "I want to come with her..." she told the teacher. She had seen the look in the teachers eyes, and she knew that the news was not good at all.
The teacher nodded gravely, and escorted the two girls out into the hallway, to where there was a familliar looking emergency worker standing there in his green tank top, red jacket, and black pants, his black headband around his short cropped brown hair. Hikaru felt her heart race, surprised by how familliar he looked as well... almost like Geo from Autozam.
Kagami blinked, and walked up to the man in the jacket, "Geo...what are you doing here? Are you here to get Zaisan?" she asked in surprise, as she went over to hug him.
Manamoto Geoto; otherwise known to his close friends and family as Geo, hugged the young girl he had watched grow up with his younger brother Zaisan, who they lovingly called Zazu. His eyes held a look of deep and intense sorrow. "Mi-chan.." he said, sadly stroking her hair, "I dont want to be the one to tell you this....but....your parents were driving in Downtown... a truck hit them on the side..."
Kagami felt her body grow weak, her knees giving out on her. She felt strange. Thoughts and memories... power she had never known was flowing in and out of her body in it's already weakened state. .oO{'My parents...mom...dad....gone...I..I'm alone...just like nii-sama when he was taken from me... no...wait... I dont have a brother... why...'} She didnt hear the frantic cries from Geo and Hikaru as she fell into the oblivion.
* * *
Kagami was watching what appeared to be a green and lusch garden. She looked to see a young boy, his hair platinum blonde, his eyes golden brown lean down to help a young girl, her violet hair and eyes up to her feet, "Kagami-chan... are you all right? You're not hurt are you...?"
The little one shook her head no, "I'm good Eagle nii-sama... I will be okay. It's you I worry about..." she said with her eyes full of worry. "I'm going to be a good mage so i can came up with something to heal your sickness! I promise!"
The boy she called Eagle smiled, ruffling her hair, "Aah... i'll hold you to that..." he said with a chiding tone, his voice softened with affection.
She couldn't take her eyes off the two siblings, something inside of her seemed to be pulling on her, .oO{'Nii-sama? Why does this situation look so familiar to me? I never had a brother... and yet...'}
She then saw the features around her fade away, and saw what appeared to be in a hospital room, and the violet hair and eyed girl leaning over her, gently whispering a chant, her own body and Eagle glowing warmly.
He opened his eyes to look into the young girl's eyes, "You cast the spell to share one soul, didn't you Kagami-chan..." he said quietly, which made her eyes go wide in shock as she saw his golden brown eyes dancing, but not angry, "The one to share the energy of two souls...."
Kagami watched in shock, .oO{'This girl... she has the same name as me?!? She... she also looks alot like me as well... What could this mean?'}
The young girl nodded, tears welled up in her eyes, "I will not see you suffer nii-sama... I cast the spell of Two to One...as well as one to make your will and strength...stronger than your illness..." she felt the tears well up faster down her cheeks, "You're a warrior nii-sama! And if you die it will be a warrior's death... This illness will not beat you...because I wont let it!" she held his hand against her cheek, "I love you nii-sama... and I won't let you be unhappy...I will see that you're happy..."
Kagami watched in sadness, her eyes were beginning to well up with fear and sadness as she looked at the two of them, .oO{'This young girl... she loves her brother... I would probably do the same for her... if i was in her place..'}
She then saw that she was standing inside what looked like a beautiful castle, walking around as she took in the beauty of the lusch greenery. She walked into a room as she saw a young girl sitting there, in a meditative posture. .oO{'This is... this *is* me...'}
She stopped when she saw her other self sit there, and saw that there were tears welling down the side of her face, she could hear a voice that whispered into her head just as it did her other self, .oO{'Kagami...I'm sorry... I won't be coming home...' }
She felt the tears hit her eyes and well down like a raging river at the same time as the girl who mirrored her image as well, and for some reason, she couldnt help but whisper in pain, "Nii-sama..."
The mirror of herself felt the tears well up in her own eyes as she spoke loudly, "Nii-sama... you helped the ones you love... you died as a warrior, not from your illness. I'm proud of you..." she felt herself laugh shakily, the tears falling faster down her face, "Maybe I can find away for you to be with them... but be content for now... I'll find a way..." she felt her own body begin to shake in incredible sobs, "I love you... nii-sama."
.oO{'Hai....ore mo da.... Kagami-chan...be strong for me, and I'll watch over you as well...ore taisetsuna no imouto...'} and with that final phrase, the voice died in her head.
She felt her own tears well up in her eyes as her own body shook in racked sobs, .oO{'Eagle-nii-sama... how could I have forgotten... why am I...'}
She watched the vision change to another room, it looked to have been years later, her other self was surrounded by other men... including Geo and Zazu..?!?! She heard herself begin to chant a spell, her body there and her own body were growing warm, and she heard the call to Eagle, .oO{'Nii-sama....'} and watched as they all disappeared.....
* * *
She finally came to, strange feelings and memories that haunted her dreams, of a land far away, Cephiro; Autozam, her family, friends... her older brother. And the story of the knights; the Magic Knights. She saw to the side that Hikaru was at her bed. Her eyes were washed with tears of relief, "Kagami-chan..." she breathed, burying her face in her chest, "Oh thank goodness you're all right..." she cried softly, her face buried in her chest.
Kagami tried to sit up, pushing down the wierd memories, and smiled weakly at Hikaru, "I'm sorry I scared you Hikaru... I didnt mean it.. I..." she then couldn't finish her sentence and ended it with a groan, falling back against the pillows, her coughing wretching the very blood out of her body that had gently filled in her lungs, and hid the tissue before Hikaru could see it. oO{'What happened to me...? I remember seeing Geo....then he told me about....'} she stopped, the painful memory digging to the surface, .oO{'That's right...my parents....they were...'}
Hikaru took her hand in hers, squeezing it gently, much to the surprise of Kagami, her eyes were full of caring and compassion, "Kagami... I am so sorry...." she said quietly, her eyes letting the unshed tears fall for her new friend.
Before Kagami could respond to Hikaru, the two girls heard the frantic calls of people running into the Sick Room. A blue haired beauty, a blonde angel with glasses, and a young strong looking boy who fought to get to room with the nurse, "Kagami!!" he yelled as he ran into the room by her bedside.
Kagami couldn't repress the tears from falling when she saw her childhood friend and companion, "Zazu..." she tried to whisper, her voice eminating in a waivered tone. She tried to sit up and flung her arms around his neck, and began to sob. She felt his arms wrap around her tightly, holding her fast to where he was never going to let her go; and she was perfectly fine with that. He had always been there when she needed his strength.
Manamoto Zaisen held her as close as possible. He had seen his older brother out in the hallway, and Geo had told him what had happened to Kagami's parents. He couldn't believe Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino were gone. The only thing that he knew in his whole soul, was that he was going to be there for his best friend, no matter what. "Kagami...I'm here....it's all right..." he tried to soothe her gently, his hand running up and down the mid of her back, which he always used to help calm the coughing fits when they hit her.
Kagami looked up at the other two girls who had run in with Zaisen. "Umi-chan.... Fuu-chan..." she said. Ryuuzaki Umi was in her English class mid-day, and Houuji Fuu was in the algebra class they had at the beginning of the day. All of them were transferred to the same high school, and were in their final year of classes.
Umi gently placed her hand on Kagami's shoulder, "Kagami... I want you to know that you can *always* count on us to help... I am very sorry of what happened...I dont know what kind of pain you are facing right now... but I want to help as much as I can..." she tried to say in a strong voice, even if her own was waving on the point of breaking.
Fuu nodded, her own eyes awash with unshed tears. She had always felt humbled to know Tsukino Kagami. She admired her strong spirit and heart, despite what trials whether it be physical, or emotional that had hit her within the last couple of months. "Miss Umi is right... we will be here for whatever you need Miss Kagami..."
Hikaru had the tears welling down her face, "Me too! I will do whatever it takes to help you Kagami-chan! I want to help in anyway I can...!" she exclaimed in emotion, holding tightly to Kagami's free hand.
Kagami leaned against Zaisen, her eyes brimmed with tears of surprise and shock, but it changed to a soft smile as she stared at the other three girls, and a strange phrase crossed her mind .oO{'Soon I will help them... soon I will help them be happy...'} she inside shook her head free of emotions from that, .oO{'What had I thought that?!?! What was wrong with me?!'} She smiled at each of them,"Hikaru-chan...Umi-chan....Fuu-chan....arigatou."
Zaisen gently picked her up in his arms, "Come on Kagami-chan... Geo is waiting outside for us... you're going to come and stay with Geo, me, and our room mate, Ian; a friend of his from school. And before you say a word..." he stopped her, holding a finger to her nose, "It was *not* my idea, as much as I was for the idea, but Geo was the one who came up with it, and Ian was fine with it." He turned to the girls, "Thank you Hikaru, Umi, Fuu...thank you for what you've done."
Fuu looked to him, "You will let us know if she needs anything, will you Mr. Zaisen?" she asked politely, bowing her head a bit.
Zaisen nodded, "Of course..." he looked down at Kagami, "That is if Kagami says it is all right..."
Kagami nodded, "Arigatou Mai.." she stopped herself from saying what she was without thinking by a coughing fit, as she tightened her grip on Zaisen, "Arigatou... minna." she held onto Zaisen's neck as he led her outside. .oO{'Magic Knights? Why was I going to say Magic Knights??'}
* * *
Just before they reached outside, Zaisen set Kagami down, with alot of hesitation, because he was afraid that she wouldnt be able to stand on her own. When he saw that she could walk fine, he walked next to her. He then looked to the far front, and saw his brother, Geoto talking to a tall, blonde haired guy his age. Zaisen got excited and waved his arm, "Hoi! Geo! Eagle!!" he called.
Kagami froze in her spot when she heard Zazu call out the name Eagle, as her eyes fixated on the tall blonde, who had facial features.. so similiar to her own... his golden brown eyes... the platinum hair... were the only differences. The memories were what was playing with her mind. Memories of a man... the exact mirror image of this Ian... this... Eagle. .oO{'Eagle.... nii-sama...?'}
Geo and Ian Matsota, otherwise known as Eagle; looked to see Zaisen running at them, "Ah, Zazu...were you able to get Kagami?" Geo asked as he bopped his little brother on the head. He turned back up to his best friend when he saw the look of utter surprise and shock that resonated in his eyes, "What's wrong Eagle?" he asked with surprise.
Eagle was not hearing anything that Geo was saying, because his eyes were affixed on the young girl who stood a distance away. The facial features were that of the woman that haunted his dreams. The girl who called to a part of him that laid haunted in his memories of another life, of a little sister he felt could have been from another life.
.oO{'Nii-sama... are you going to fight again? Nii-sama... I don't want you to go fight Cephiro... I'll know if anything happens to you... Nii-sama... I love you so much, please join me so you can make Hikaru and Lantis happy... I'll take the illness you bore home... just please.. I Cant make everyone happy without you there... nii-sama...'}
Kagami and Eagle both fell to their knees at the exact same moment, their eyes staring straight into each other. When she finally looked to see the light was changing, she realized with fear that she couldn't move. Without thinking, her eyes glued solely on Eagle, she called out something she didn't realize she was saying, and something inside them both snapped, as if something deep within both of them had been awakened. "NII-SAMA!!!" she screamed in fear.
Without thinking, Eagle began to run towards Kagami and where she had fallen, Geo and Zazu frozen in fear, unable to move. Eagle ran out into the middle of the road, and grabbing Kagami in his strong arms, he instinctively yelled out, "KAGAMI!!!" and with his free hand held out, he threw up an invisible barrier made out of magic, and they threw themselves out of the way of incoming traffic.
Zazu and Geo were running when their strength came back to them as Eagle painfully sat up, his eyes were looking down at the weak girl in his arms, his voice low, and full of comfort spoke up quietly, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long..." he had a bit of blood flowing from his lip where he scraped across the pavement, and his jeans were torn and slightly bloody, but his eyes held a look of soft compassion as he gazed down at her, his eyes changing to a surprise, when he felt a warmth fill his body, and the inner bruises and bleeding he sustained ceased. "Kagami..."
Kagami had a bruise over her right part of her forehead, and blood oozing from her mouth. She could feel and sense emotions flooding her mind, that of her own... and that of Eagle's. She felt the tears well up faster down her face, "Nii-sama.... it's...you....." she quietly gripped his arm, and felt the conciousness slip from her, "I... missed you so much...."
She could barely hear the verbal shouts of Zazu and Geo yelling for an ambulence as she only heard the mental voice of Eagle speak to her heart, .oO{'I missed you too, Kagami-chan....we can talk when we take care of you....'}
She felt a tiny smile touch at the corners of her lips, as she then let herself become consumed by the growing void of unconsiousness.

Without thinking, her eyes glued solely on Eagle, she called out something she didn't realize she was saying, and something inside them both snapped, as if something deep within both of them had been awakened. "NII-SAMA!!!" she screamed in fear.
Without thinking, Eagle began to run towards Kagami and where she had fallen, Geo and Zazu frozen in fear, unable to move. Eagle ran out into the middle of the road, and grabbing Kagami in his strong arms, he instinctively yelled out, "KAGAMI!!!" and with his free hand held out, he threw up an invisible barrier made out of magic, and they threw themselves out of the way of incoming traffic.
Zazu and Geo were running when their strength came back to them as Eagle painfully sat up, his eyes were looking down at the weak girl in his arms, his voice low, and full of comfort spoke up quietly, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long..." he had a bit of blood flowing from his lip where he scraped across the pavement, and his jeans were torn and slightly bloody, but his eyes held a look of soft compassion as he gazed down at her, his eyes changing to a surprise, when he felt a warmth fill his body, and the inner bruises and bleeding he sustained ceased. "Kagami..."
Kagami had a bruise over her right part of her forehead, and blood oozing from her mouth. She could feel and sense emotions flooding her mind, that of her own... and that of Eagle's. She felt the tears well up faster down her face, "Nii-sama.... it's...you....." she quietly gripped his arm, and felt the conciousness slip from her, "I... missed you so much...."
She could barely hear the verbal shouts of Zazu and Geo yelling for an ambulence as she only heard the mental voice of Eagle speak to her heart, .oO{'I missed you too, Kagami-chan....we can talk when we take care of you....'}
She felt a tiny smile touch at the corners of her lips, as she then let herself become consumed by the growing void of unconsiousness.
