//...//- Lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 4- Living a nightmare, Dreaming your death
Avaia stayed silent, feeling that now wasn't the time to provoke Caleema anymore...but she couldn't help it. Making her mad was so easy, and so much fun!
"Azuri Ninja? Don't make me laugh...You know as well as I do, they banished you years ago!"
Ashamed, Caleema bit her lip, and looked at the ground. "That's not true...I chose to leave, I didn't need them." She said, looking back up, staring coldly at Avaia. But that was a lie, and Caleema knew it. She had been banished exactly two years ago, for misuse of the Azuri's skills. But she had just been misunderstood; all she had been doing was trying to save her friend, Mizuni Tsusaki.
//I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily//
Without a sound, she quietly turned her back on the group and walked to the shrine entrance. Knowing what Avaia had just said had brought back some painful memories, Zeo ran down the hill to catch up with her. But he paused, as Caleema's icy voice washed over him.
"Stay where you are, I don't need comforting, I need to be alone." She snapped, continuing her painful walk...tears once again falling down her pale cheeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caleema flopped down on her new bed, relieved to finally be alone. Kai had agreed to let the Dark Fury team stay at his house, or rather, mansion. She starred at the darkening ceiling, watching the shadows dance quietly across it. Rubbing her eyes, she tried to fight back the approaching sleep. She had absolutely no intension of going to sleep, for that meant she'd have to watch her best friend be taken from her once again. Each night Caleema had the same dream, and each night it got more painful to watch.
//I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hurry up Mizuni!" Five year old Caleema whined, splashing water on her friend. "We're gonna be late!"
Mizuni smirked, but she kept her eyes closed and let the ice cold lake water roll down her face. This was her routine every morning, and she had gotten used to Caleema's methods of waking her up.
Getting an idea, Caleema carefully climbed up on the bed, which was quite difficult due to her height. She immediately started bouncing up and down, screaming at Mizuni to wake up.
"WAKE UP BAKA!!!" She yelled, kicking Mizuni off the bed. She fell with a thud, landing on her head.
Pretending to be annoyed, Mizuni finally opened her shocking red eyes. All of the people from the Azuri clan had red eyes, and Mizuni was no exception.
"Alright, I'm up!" She laughed, sitting up properly and looking at Caleema.
//"Save your tears cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you
walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turn back the pages//
"Good." Was all Caleema had to say. She jumped off the bed, and dragged Mizuni out of the room by her arm.
The Tsusaki and Yukuri families lived in the same house, though it was more like a giant tree house. With the beautiful view, and nothing to do but lounge around all day, they were in paradise.
"Caleema Yukuri! What did I say about dragging Mizuni across the floor?" A stern voice sounded from the kitchen.
"Sorry mommy, but we're in a hurry!" Caleema yelled as she ran down the hall, still dragging Mizuni. "You'll have to tell me again later!" "Good morning Mrs. Yukuri!" Mizuni called as she was swept out the open door and onto the balcony.
Mrs. Yukuri opened the kitchen window and called out to the two young girls. "Tala and Ares are leaving today, don't you want to go say goodbye? They won't be back for a few months, you know."
"We're one step ahead of you, mom!" Caleema said, heading for the wooden ladder they used to get down to the ground.
"Bye bye!" Mizuni waved as she followed her friend down the ladder.
//Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart//
They ran as fast as they could down the dirt path, hoping they weren't too late. Tala, Ares and their cousin Daisuke were the only people of the Azuri clan who didn't have red eyes. And because of this, they had hardly any friends and were often shunned by the rest of the village.
Running up to their friend house, they found it to be empty,
"We...we're too late!" Mizuni said, as she sat down on the balcony and started to cry.
"Hang on, there's a note!" Caleema said, pulling a small piece of paper off the door frame. She read it aloud, so Mizuni could hear.
Caleema and Mizuni, We've gone to Russia. We'll be back in four months
~Tala
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twelve year old Caleema looked out her bedroom window, and watched the leaves of their oak tree swing gently in the summer breeze. She then directed her gaze to the calendar beside her bed. Caleema sighed, today was August first. On this day seven years ago, Tala, Ares and Daisuke had left for Russia. But they never came back. Now she was twelve, and had gotten tired of waiting. She glanced at the note on her night table, it was the same note she had pulled off the door frame seven years ago.
//Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings//
"I hate you." Caleema whispered, taking the paper in her hands and ripping it in half.
Letting it fall to the ground, Caleema opened the window and jumped gracefully to the wide tree branch. This was how she always exited the house to avoid being seen, and to reach her favourite place to think.
"Caleema! Your lunch is getting cold!" Mizuni yelled down the hall. When no answer came, she angrily stormed down the hallway to her friends room, her red hair flying out behind her.
"Caleema! I..." She stopped, as she saw the room empty, and the ripped note lying on the floor. Sighing, she walked to the open window and climbed out, carefully walking down the tree branch towards Caleema.
//And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever//
"Hey...I'm sure they'll come back today." She said quietly, standing behind her. Mizuni had grown, and was now quite a bit taller then Caleema.
"They've been gone for seven years, Mizu. Face it, they're not coming back." Caleema growled
"Don't talk like that, of course they'll..." She stopped, her voice caught in the back of her throat.
"They'll what?" Caleema asked, turning around to face Mizuni. Catching sight of her friend, Caleema gasped.
//The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
"You've been there with me all the way"
I still hear you say//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^^ I'll just leave it there for now...Remember to review and give me an oreo!
