" Bring her back here!" Kara cried as she raised her sword to make the point that she was serious.

" Nope. Uh-uh, afraid I can't do that," said Yukimura as he smiled contentedly to himself.

Yukimura Sanada. You bastard. I knew I'd find you eventually...and now you will pay for what you have done.

That voice! Who is that? Why is it in my head? Kara wondered as she felt her body grow entirely cold.

" Yukimura Sanada. Hmph, I have searched far and wide for you, and yet it appears my reputation precedes me. That's a shame...now it appears I have two reasons to kill you."

Why am i saying these things? thought Kara as she realized that she no longer had any control over what her body was doing as it lunged forward, sword drawn, at the man who stood in front of her. Yukimura blocked her swing with his sword and looked her right in the eyes.

" Two reasons?" he asked as he forced her back, making a small space between the two of them.

" Yes two. You must know by now that anyone who knows my name dies by my sword. And the most important reason, to avenge my younger brother, the one that you killed."

" Let go of me!" cried Anne as she tried to wriggle herself out of the young boy's grasp.

" Stop fidgeting dammit!" protested Sasuke as he made his way back to the others.

" I need to go back," said Anne as she finally was able to slip out of his hold. She began to run back in the direction of her friend as fast as she could.

" Get back here!" cried Sasuke as he chased after her.

" No! I've forgotten...I've forgotten..." Anne tried to think of an excuse to go back when suddenly a voice inside her head gave her the answer she had been looking for. My gun. " My gun! I have to get my gun!"

Gun? thought Anne as she wondered why this strange voice had come up with something like that.

The young boy leapt down directly in front of Anne, preventing her from going any further. Anne took a few steps back, shocked at how fast the young boy could move.

" We'll get it later, right now Yukimura told us to go back to the others, so lets go."

" No! I need it now!" cried Anne hoping that if she made a big enough deal about it that the young boy would give in.

" Alright fine, but stay close to me," said Sasuke as he made his way back in the direction that they had come.

Anne was following the boy as fast as she could when she finally caught a glimpse of Kara. Is she...fighting? But she doesn't even know how to use a sword!

Anne was right. She had known Kara her entire life and knew that under no circumstances could her friend have ever known how to use a sword. But as she watched in awe she noticed that Kara's fighting was almost natural, like she had been doing this all her life. Her movements and reactions were so precise. Anne reached her hand up against the oak tree that they had first awoken under when they had arrived here and felt that same rush of energy flow through her body now as it had then.

" Anne!" cried Kara as she leapt over Yukimura and tried to grab onto her friend as she began to fade away. Kara pressed her hands against the tree. If Anne had been able to return then she should have been able to as well. But Kara felt nothing but the cold bark of the tree against her palms. Her sword lay next to her feet leaving her wide open for attack. She felt the swift breeze of a sword being swung precisely in her direction. Kara fell to her knees as the realization that she may never see her world again rushed upon her like the blade now headed for her body.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anne slowly opened her eyes to find herself back in her world. As she lifted herself to her feet she turned around to find a tall woman with long black hair standing behind her.

" Who are you?" asked Anne rather defensively. Maybe she wasn't back in her own world after all.

" I am who many call the space-time witch," said the woman as she peered down at Anne. " And you are Kara's friend, are you not?"

" Where is Kara?" asked Anne as she searched around the base of the tree for her friends body. " Didn't she return with me?

" Kara cannot come back to this world anymore," said the woman as she ran her long slender fingers over the rough bark of the tree.

" Wh-what?" asked Anne as fear began to consume her entire body.

" Kara no longer exists in this world."

" How do you know that? protested Anne as tears began to form around her eyes.

" Kimihiro has no memory of her. He doesn't even know the name Kara Himaro anymore," said the woman as she stared up at the starry night sky.

" Kimihiro? How do you know him?" asked Anne as she looked up at the woman.

" I am his employer and that is how I know that she no longer exists here in this time. By going back to that time, you altered the hitsuzen."

" The what?" asked Anne slightly confused.

" Hitsuzen. A naturally fore-ordained event. A result which can only be obtained by a single casualty, and other causalities would necessarily create different results. The two of you changed the hitsuzen of the past,and thus have now altered the future, and in this future, there is no Kara Himaro."

" But we didn't change anything!"

" Kara met Mr. Sanada...didn't she..."

" You mean..."

" In the past the Angel of Death did not meet Mr. Sanada so early on."

" Why does everyone think that Kara is the Angel of Death?" asked Anne.

" Her great ancestor Anaka Kiamoto was the one most often referred to as that. Just as your great ancestor was the one named Yuya Shiina."

" Miss Yuya..." whispered Anne as she tried to take in all this new information.

" When the two of you went back to that time, you became those two women. And now that you have returned, there is no Yuya Shiina in the past."

" Can it be fixed," said Anne as her hands began to clench into fists.

" Pardon?"

" Can the future be fixed. If I go back to that time can I fix the future so that Kara will exist in this world again."

" It is possible, yes."

Anne closed her eyes and turned back towards the tall oak tree and pressed her hands up against it once more. I'm not leaving you behind Kara...I'll bring you back here with me next time.
