Well last chapter was different and kind of gory which suits me very well. Yes I am crazy and yes I am strange so don't ask me if any of you decide to review if I am like that cause I just told you. Anyways on with the story. This is going to be more of a memory chapter for Hope as she is trying to answer the question that begins with why.. Why is Lenne like this way?

Chapter 3 Why?

Hope laid on her bed in the tower and stared at the ceiling. She has had many encounters with Lenne but she couldn't fatally hurt her because Lenne is Lenne no matter how much her soul has change she is still Hope's sister.

Flashback time………….

"Hope are you going to play ball with us," Lenne asked her twin sister. "Yeah sorry I just had to do something real quickly," Hope replied running after Lenne so that she could play too. Her father stopped her by putting a hand on the 10 year olds shoulder. "Now remember Hope don't tell Lenne about anything I wouldn't want her to think you are better treated it is just tradition," he told her. "Ok father I won't," Hope nodded grinning as she ran away again with her father watching her and smiling all the way. Her father sighed when he was sure she was out of ear shot and thought, "She could be the only one to save this world from Lenne and I can't have her telling people about her training." He could see the future but not a lot of people knew that. Hope heard every word of it and shook her head thinking, "Maybe he is just mistaken," but her father's powers were almost never wrong. She just shrugged it off and ran with the other kids to the field to play softball.

(13th birthday for Lenne and Hope)

"Hope you have been trained well these past 3 years," her father stated as Hope looked at him with curious eyes. "Yes sir," she answered. "Well you have learned everything including the secret technique and gained much power but you must promise me that you will not use it unless you have to," he explained. "Yes father you can count on me I will not use this power unless I must," Hope promised. They celebrated Hope and Lenne's birthday that night. This was the night they got Fire and Ice.

(25 but they look like they are 15)

"You are marrying Ray aren't you," Hope asked her sister smiling warmly. "Yep in 2 months is our wedding day we have planned this for 5 years," Lenne answered full of joy. Hope put her hand on Lenne's shoulder and saw Ray's death but she decided to keep quiet about it. "I must be gaining father's power," Hope thought. She was frowning and deep in thought but this didn't go unnoticed by Lenne. "What is wrong Hope," Lenne asked puzzled. "Oh its nothing," Hope told her smiling warmly again but you could see the sadness in her eyes.

(1 month after Ray's death)

"It is all my fault I can't believe I let him die I should've helped or warned Lenne I hate my power of seeing the future," Hope cried on her pillow trying to sleep butthe images of the battle haunted her memory and she was blaming herself. Sesshomaru was walking past her apartment and heard her crying from an opened window in the alley. He climbed up there and saw her in her bedroom crying to no one but herself. Her power was locked up already and he knew she was vulnerable like a human for the next week since she just sealed it away that day. He walked into her room and held her close to him calming her down. "Sesshomaru, what are you doing here," Hope asked as she slowly stopped crying. "I heard you now come on we are going out so that you can just have no worries I am going to meet my half brother wanna come," he asked. "Sure just let me change," she agreed. He left the room and she changed quickly as they went through the fire escape which is the way Sesshomaru came in. They walked and discussed this problem that has occurred because of Ray's death. Lenne has started to grow distant from Hope and she is thinking that her father's vision might come true. Sesshomaru saw the look in her eyes and he wanted so bad to be more than a friend to her (this was before they went out). "Umm this may not be the best time," Sesshomaru said, "but will you be my girlfriend I have been attracted to you for so long and plus I want to help you as more than a friend." Hope looked at him and whispered, "I would like that very much and I will share all my problems with you I promise." "Then I would like to know all of your past please," Sesshomaru replied overjoyed that Hope would do something like this. So she told her whole story not leaving any detail out.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Hope smiled at the thought of that night and she remember how she never broke her promise to him. Sesshomaru walked into her room without even knocking and she sat up looking at him. "Knocking would be nice you know that," she commented smiling. "Well I just wanted to ask you do you remember the first time we met," he questioned hoping she wouldn't have forgotten. "How can I not forgot the three most remember memories of you are the time we met, when you asked me out and when you saved me from death. "I can't remember when I save you but tell me about the day we met and the day I saved you since I can barely remember," he suggested. Hope nodded and started telling the story.

ANOTHER FLASHBACK LUCKY YOU

"Now give us your purse lady or we will be forced to hurt you," a young man in an overcoat ordered holding Hope against the wall with a knife against her throat. Hope just smirked and kicked the man in the stomach and knocked him against the wall. One of the people got her from behind and they held her punching her in the stomach as Sesshomaru was walking by. He looked and noticed that she was a youkai also and that she wasn't hurt she was just amused at how much they tried to hurt since after all they were only human. He walked over to them and knocked them all out since he couldn't kill them cause he was friends with demon exterminators. "Thanks but I really didn't need your help it is appreciated though," Hope said with great appreciation. "Well it was no big but were you that amused to let them hit you and you didn't even flinch," Sesshomaru replied baffled. Hope nodded and explained, "I was on my way to an interview with a man named Sesshomaru because I wanted to help work at his club." "So you are Hope well I think I will give you the job seeing as you can take care of yourself," he responded.

(When Sesshy saves Hope)

"Let's go camping just the two of us Hope," Sesshomaru suggested about two days after they got together. "Sure why not I always liked the wilderness and besides we need a break from you club at least you do," Hope concurred. "Then its settled we can do lots of cool things you know," Sesshomaru stated. Hope nodded and they got packed that evening. They left the next day and arrived that afternoon so they set up camp. "I am going hiking ok," Hope told Sesshy after they had finished setting up camp. "Ok I will catch up later," He replied. She was running pretty fast because her demon powers were starting to come back but only in speed. She heard growling soon and found blood thirsty wolves ready to eat her. She knew she couldn't fight them off and ran deeper and deeper into the woods pretty soon she was near a cliff but she didn't know that because she was still running away from the wolves. They were fast like a friend of hers named Koga who had taken over a wolf clan. She turned around and ran backwards to make sure they couldn't attack her from behind and slipped on the edge. She grabbed it fast and was holding on by one hand. "SESSHOMARU HELP," She screamed at the top of her lungs. Sesshomaru ran as soon as her heard her and reached the site of where the wolves were coming closer to the helpless girl hanging on the edge of a cliff. He quickly defeated the wolves and helped Hope up. "Thanks a lot," Hope said with appreciation.

Present times

"I remember now you were so scared but that was the only time I ever saw you scared," Sesshomaru told her. "I am just that kind of person," Hope replied. "I think that might be the case," Sesshomaru replied. They both laughed and fell asleep together.

That is the end of that chapter it kind of gives you the idea of just some things that has happened before. It isn't that long and it might give you a little bit of idea of what has happened if you think I need some more then review.

InuGhost: I hope this clears something up if it doesn't sorry.
