Now, a little history lesson for you.
One of the first heads of the Kinuhana clan created a crystal. It wasn't known by the public or many of the Kinuhana clan itself. A majority had no idea what it did, so there it was left. But the Kinuhana clan's head cherished this crystal for it was one of his first creations as the head of the clan. Those who do know what this crystal does were sworn not to speak of it, until they find one of the Kinuhana clan who they see fit to know what the crystal did, and why it should be taken back. During this time, the Kinuhana clan was at it's peak with the alliance with the Sakurazuka clan. A rumor was being spread in the Sakurazuka clan that the new head of the Kinuhana fell for sister of the oldest head of their own clan. This having happened the alliance of both sides were at its strongest. This rumor was false but none the less the new head did fall for a lady of the Mizuyousei clan. As destiny would have it, one of the Sakurazuka clan's heads also fell for this yousei. Both kept their secret from everyone in their clan, and from each other. Few days past and both come to find out each other's secret and also find out that they both had fallen for the same yousei. The first battle enraged the eldest of both of the clan's heads and they were both suspended of their status as heads of their respectible clan. Despite how small this conflict was, both clans hated each other, a flare added by the yousei both of the men loved. The hatred grew and grew soon it spread to the heads of both clans. Then during the 16 of December, the night that their suspension was due to end, the head from the Sakurazuka clan went over to the Kinuhana's main dojo, where he knew where to find the new head of the Kinuhana clan. When he reached the dojo, upon entering it there was no one there. He explored a little deeper and found his way to the dojo's door to the outside. He slides the rice paper door slowly and sees the back of the yousei and in front of her the head of Kinuhana facing her. This spectical enraged him and he ran straight to Kinuhana, disreguarding the yousei. The young head of the Sakurazuka clan threw the first punch causing the unsuspecting Kinuhana to fall back and stumble on the trunk of a nearby tree. The fight between the two did not last long for the new head of the Kinuhana clan didn't retaliate at all. He stood there, refusing to inflict pain in his attacker. A high kick was taken by him causing him to launch and spin in the air. Then he came down, slightly spinning, bouncing twice on the ground before laying still on the ground, dead as much as one could be. The head of the Sakurazuka clan walked over and started to move the dead body with his leg, slightly kicking it, making sure that his opponet has truely met his demise. As he turned around to leave the garden he spots something near the area where the body first bounced on the ground. The object was glinting in the moon lit night. He walked over to it and picked up the crystal that had dropped out of it's owner's pocket. With the victory of the death of the head of the Kinuhana clan, he takes the crystal as the sign of a trophy, along with the satisfaction of revenge. He leaves the scene with the body of the dead laying on the garden floor, blood spilled here and there, not caring if the other men and women of the clan found him, just as long as he killed the one he wanted, he was fine. Since the knowledge of the crystal were sealed from most of the clan, no one asked for the location of the crystal. Those who swore not to say a word, until necessary, reluctantly refused to ask about it. The heads of the Sakurazuka clan were curious to why no one has talked about this crystal the young head gave them on December 16 so late at night. Soon, it was known as tradition to pass on the crystal to the top fighter of each generation. In hopes the new owner could attivate the crystal and open it. For they thought that strength was needed to open the crystal. After five generations the tradition of the battles died and it is now passed down by the predesseor to their own successor. Exactly two centuries after the battle between the two heads of the Kinuhana and Sakurazuka clans, the crystal is now in the possession of Seishiro Sakurazuka. Shisuzu Kinuhana, recently received word that she is the last head Kinuhana's clan. Knowing how much truth was held in the last sentence, she knew what the letter stored. The letter stated that this letter was supposed to be delivered on a certain day, and in reading this letter proves that she is the last Kinuhana and must take back the crystal in the possesion of Seishiro. At this Shisuzu knew her destiny begun. Shisuzu didn't need to read the rest, for she was briefed on her destiny before she left to live in Aomori to train. None the less she skimmed it. She didn't need to know anything else after that second sentence for the story of the battle between the youngest of heads from both clan was told often, including the crystal that the Sakurazuka took. No one asked for the possible value of the crystal for if it wasn't explained, then it does not need to be known. Through her skim of the rest of the letter, she was told that she must go to Tokyo At the news, Shisuzu asked to leave her "family". But her brothers already knew and made arrangements already, so the transition would be smoother. She was to stay with the Dragons of Heaven....
Shisuzu: *walking out the door, she turns around to see everyone that was her "family"* BYE YOU GUYS!!! SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!
Kyoden: SHIZUKU!!! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET INTO TROUBLE!!!
Shisuzu: *smiles* OF COURSE NNOOOTTTT!!!!! Don't be silly!!!! teeheeheee ^__________________^
Koneko: WE ARE SERIOUS!!!!!! DON'T GET INTO ANY TROUBLE!!!!!
Shisuzu: *becomes serious* Of course. I will not get into any trouble. This is important to me too. We finally get to know what the crystal does. *innocent smile* I'll see you guys later.
Everyone at her home: BYE!!!!!!!!
~~~On the train to Tokyo~~~
Shisuzu's thoughts while looking out the window
I wonder if they will like me. I wonder what Clamp Acamedy is like, I was always told that was the best school ever. *sigh* I miss him so much... I wonder if he remembers me... I hope he does... I wonder how long it will take if I just ran to Tokyo. It would be faster than this train at least. Why couldn't I've taken the Shinkansen? It's so much faster.....but then again, this is only a short trip....yeah, right....short. I'm traveling on a train from Aomori...Why did I agree to move out here anyway? It was great for my training and all...but Kyoden didn't have to drag himself and everyone with him. But then again, all Koneko has to do if poof them all back to our home with Yuriko. Why did they come anyway? They had no business in Aomori. They didn't have to come. Hhmmmmm...... So confusing. But what's with this crystal? It doesn't seem all that important because I mean come on. No one can activate the STUPID THING!!!! WHAT'S THE POINT IN TRYING TO FIND IT?! Oh, wait..... flashback
"But what's so important about the crystal anyway?" *talking to the three heads of the Kinuhana clan*
"Shizuru, as the fourth head of the Kinuhana clan, you shouldn't have asked this question." *second head, old lady Ashizuru*
"Yes, but really why retrieve something we know nothing about? Isn't it better that the opposing Sakurazuka because they will never find out about what it does and isn't it just better for us then we can forget about it? We DO know nothing about the crystal don't WE???"
"Ahh....All the heads know, all except you." *first head old man Dokusen*
"Huh?!"
"Actually Shisuzu, everyone, or at least what is left of our clan, knows everything there is to know about the crystal. We all lyed to you." *2nd head Ashizuru*
"........" *Shisuzu*
"You see, it was known that you were to be the last Kinuhana. All of us will leave, including the few of the remaining clan. You must find out what the crystal does on your own. We can not help you no longer. You will receive more information to start your destiny." *3rd head Mizura*
"The importance of our clan and the importance of the crystal must be found out on your own. It was written by the creator of the crystal, and so it shall be done." *1st heaf Dokusen*
A flash of light engulfed everyone of Kinuhana desent and obliterated them, leaving only one Kinuhana alone.
end of flashbackShisuzu closed her eyes and sighed with exhaustion. "My destiny offically starts when I hit Tokyo."
What is my destiny anyway? Dokusen never said anything about what was written or what I had to do. I'm only left to assume. I mean, it would have been fine if I was a dragon because than I would know at least what I was to do, but I have no idea how I'm tied to the end of the world. Or if I'm tied to it at all.
"I guess I'll know once I hit Tokyo.... Huh?" Shisuzu's attention was snagged by the electronic voice of the train.
"Tokyo two hours. Tokyo two hours"
Great. Two hours to kill, what to do....especially now since my batts are running low....awww...holy zen...batts are dead...I was wondering how I heard the Tokyo announcement..Shit.... Now....what am I supposed to do?
