Hey everyone! Long time no see, LOL... I'm sorry for not updating sooner and those of you who are still reading and reviewing, I thank you. This chapter took a lot out of me, I swear!! First I had to go back and reread some of my old chapters, because there are key elements I have to remember or the story won't have a plot. Then, after, I had to get all my loose leaf paper that had summaries and small parts of the chapter on them. That took me a few weeks to track them all down and read them. After that I had to find my muse, now that I found her it's hard to stop writing. Hope this chapter explains many of the questions you all may have. If not then at the end of the chapter I have a few answers that many people have been asking me (i.e.: what's Sakura and co. powers).

Sweet water

The Forgotten Part One: The power of the chosen ....

The wind gently tussled the calm leaves of the Cypress as their branches swayed to the rhythm. Light strands of honey whisked there way in front of her jade eyes as a warm tried smile lit her calm face. A couple near a window inside gaze in to each others eyes from where Sakura stood outside.

She could only guess from the pink tint that highlighted the girl's cheeks that she was witnessing something oddly private, but she could not look away. Wonder filled the empty space within as the romantic atmosphere reached out to her like a babe seeking comforted from its mother's bosom, what was going through their mind's?

The boy smirked at the blush and ever so slowly brought his lips down for a kiss. Sakura sighed, the sight of the chaste and innocence before her eyes both soothed her- warming her up inside- but at the same time made her terribly sad for them, the girl most of all.

Was this innocent love theirs, their feelings for one another true, or was it her mere presence that made it feel so? What would have happen if she was not there to play unwillingly at their prized emotions, with the power inside her it seemed imposable to tell the paradox of even her own affections?

Sakura wrapped her arms around herself, biting her cherry sweet lips and beamed, this was true... The girl was head over heals in love and so was he, Sakura could see the bubble of happiness busted inside them. Something that had seemed to be amiss within the walls of this place, sadness always rained supreme here, even in her childhood days when ignorance had been bliss.

It hadn't been too long after her six birthday that she found that she could change emotions simply by being around to draw all the negative energy and mode it into anything she wanted. But she still had that something inside of her, any innocence now lost from the years of watching the evil in the world, feeling it.

She sighed yet again when the gleam of the charms on the couple's bracelets caught her weary orbs. She seen charm's of silver around many of the students wrist when she first arrived- not many, all- each having one color or another. They all, specially the boys, flaunted them off as if the charms themselves showed the high rank of the power the person willed. What fools, only she with a clear mind knew what the deep-ish bight hue meant and there wasn't anything she could do, but sit back, watching them all fall.

'Orange and blue,' Sakura thought sadly while tenderly biting her lip a little harder, 'even if it isn't I who am causing such great feels of love and passion, it will not last... He is already to far gone, true love or not, He would gladly kill her if the council asked him to.' Sakura watched as the boy's orange charm glimmered in the bight sun.

"I pray that she will be able to keep your soul untainted even after...," she whispered, letting the wind carry her muted words to their deaf ears' and turn to leave them. Soon they will call for him, feeding him lies to his desire and swallow him whole- taking his very soul. Sakura grimaced at the thought, she would have taken the test too, as he would soon... and so would the girl.

The Test, it still brought tears to her eyes knowing that her mother gave up her very life to save her own, a life that would have been hollow once she past that damn test! Once she passed to the last level- level nine, the black level- She would have been the part of the 'Council of The Rajah'. Sakura shook her head of the thought and let her troubled mind relax, opening up to the beauty all around. It wouldn't do her good to dwell of things that would have happen.

With a cry from the gust of wind, Sakura softly walk down the worn path that lead away from the window of the building. As she walked farer away, Sakura felt of acute sense of dread surround her. It wasn't so much of the morbid thoughts that found the way up to her conscious mind about the loving couple that she left moments before nor that of her past, but something deeper. A great force was coming, demanding to be heard; she only hoped that she was still standing when it came for her.

.o.

Right when the words left her mouth, Madison knew she had made a mistake, he didn't need to hear anything that had to do with Sakura, especially when it had to do with current state Eli was in. The cold burning fire within his eyes told her so, she knew Li was short tempered now in days- ever since he moved to a higher level then her- and would do something stupid.

She watched as he turned toward the exit by the main hall, with quick almost predatory agility he disappeared through the grand oak door that led to the outside.

"Hey! Where you going, Li, don't be a baka, "she yelled after him, but it's was undoubtedly too late. Deep green lighting-hot sparks had come off his finger tips, a fact she knew, only happened when he was getting ready to attack. She was worried.

.o.

The earth seem to thundered with each livid step he took, a deep angry weeping, begging it's master to release its strength on to the world. The wind picked up, screeching with a fine dampness and coiling around his numb fingers.

He stopped only a foot away from the tree covered gardens, a sight that spoke of age and the power of nature long forgotten with the coming of man. He could feel the life of theses trees, they gave him wisdom, strength as they stood proud, bowing to only him, their master. Li's sharp eyes searched the gardens, looking for her. Her, she had been finding her way in to his thoughts all day, leaving him with a dull ach of a lost memory.

It didn't make scents and yet it was there, some how Sakura had kindled memories of his mother, and life that was lost to him years ago; memories that seem to disappear when she would leave his presens. He knew the first time he had seen those vibrant eyes of hers that there was something, something... It made him enrage with the thought of her being some one vaguely familiar. 'But why? What was it about her that makes me feel this way?' He started to question within his mind.

Li smiled every so slightly, the trees called to him, whispering secretes of the one he seek; lending him their ears, he heard the small sound of breaking branch not to far from where he stood. Letting out his aura, he felt out who traveled ahead of him and found nothing... But another sound of a branch proved that there was someone there.

With a growl, Li made his way to where he heard sound; each step his anger grew... he knew it was her. The closer he got, the more he became sure of her unfelt presents. The trees bent back their bodies to allow him room down the earth worn path to a small clearing in the middle of the wood garden.

A hushed gasp made him look up, eyes narrowed to the beautiful goddess that invaded his thoughts since the day she first stepped in to his class. A memory quickly ran across his mind, giving flashes of something he could not grasp and hold on to, and disappeared as if it never happen... A flame of rage kindled and sprung out, what the hell was she doing to him! Did he know her from some where are was she planting false memories within his mind.

He knew she was powerful, how else could she do that thing to Eli and still show no sign of even a small amount of aura? "Who are you and what are you doing to me?"

.o.

Sakura stood still, unmoving as if she where a frighten deer with a doe-eyed gaze, staring in to his hostile ones. The feeling of a vexed agony emitted off him in waves, unsettling her more with every pasting minute.

He would be audacious, she knew, combined with his recklessness might cost her more then her own life.

"Tell me what I want to know, now," he thunder with a quite sharpness, Sakura quivered. Slowly she took a small step back and then another, never once breaking the gazing spell they were both placed under. The large space placed between them made her feel more detached from it all, almost calmed by it. The fear in her eyes faded in to a somber sadness.

"Would you give up everything," Sakura asked softly, all but a whisper to Li's ears. He didn't respond, not understanding the meaning of her question which, as she feared, fanned the flame within his already kindled orbs.

In quick movement, he reached out after a few quick steps; grabbing her wrist with an iron grip- nails sank into her sensitive skin. Sakura gasped as a burning sensation rippled through out her body, pulling at her very soul. She could feel him all over, his blazing hatred of the world and the sheer demand of his strong mind was too much for her. With a subconscious force, Sakura lost all control and gave in to him, letting go of the power deep within her.

.o.

I know that this chapter should be longer, and it was, but I'm tried. It was taken me too long to finish so this will be part one! R&R Oh yeah, any mistakes, tell me? 'k? I'll try my best to fix it when I have time.
