A/N: Thought I'd post another chapter so as you guys could get an idea of what you're reading. There are three sequels that come before this story (I know it sounds like a lot but it really isn't too much!) but if you don't want to read them it might help to just read the last three chapters of The Scarlet Ibis. If you're really bored you can just read all the sequels and if you REALLY want to make me happy, you'll review every chapter! I love reviews, no matter how short or long they are (heck all Tanya ever says is 'good job'). I forgot to mention in the summary on this story (in case you missed it) that this is a Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, and YYH cross! Enjoy!
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
UnBREAKable
Chapter 2
Make a wish
Dinner went as expected. Sakura had watched as her father, Vash, wolfed down his food. She didn't blush anymore, in fact, she had gotten used to her father's terrible manners. Even her 'adopted' uncles (Knives, Kurama and Inuyasha) didn't eat as messily as Vash and they were demons (not including Knives as we all know he's an angel)!
The tension in the room was thick and the teenagers in the room dreaded what their punishment would be. In all their lives they had never been allowed to enter the room. They were allowed everywhere else in the mansion but that one room and, being as curious as they were, they couldn't help but wonder what was in there.
Sakura tapped her knife in Morse code to the others, 'I'm going back there as soon as I can. Who's with me?'
A sceries of tapped 'I am!' followed.
Katakana's ears swiveled and flicked with excitement. Her emerald eyes danced in the light of the candles surrounding them. Sakura could tell by the look in Kageunsei's grey eyes that he couldn't wait to explore the room more. Thomas' piercing blue eyes stared back at Sakura and she blushed and looked away.
More tapping could be heard and Sakura looked around for the source. Inuyasha was beginning to become suspicious and his dog ears flicked madly with each click.
'Don't you think you should give your mother a rest?' the tapping asked.
'What?' the rest of the group tapped out.
Sakura dropped her fork in shock when she located the source. It clattered onto her plate and made everyone else at the table look up. "Sorry," Sakura muttered as she picked up her fork.
'You know Morse code?!' Sakura tapped to her father.
Vash pretended not to hear and went back to wolfing down his food.
'Meet me in the attic as soon as you can!' Sakura tapped.
'Ok,' were the responses.
^_^
Sakura had taken the scolding from her mother lightly. All Kat had told her to do was to keep out of the room. Sakura acted guilty and promised she'd never return to the attic. As soon as her mother left, she slipped out and headed off down the many-roomed hall.
^_^
"So what are we looking for?" Sakura asked as she pushed a lock of her black hair behind her ear.
"No clue," Thomas said and sneezed from inhaling too much dust.
Katakana shifted through some boxes and came across an interesting one. It was sitting all the way in the corner and had carvings on it.
She was shocked to see it didn't have a single speck of dust on it, "Hey come look at this."
Everyone gathered around her to peer at the box, "Open it!"
Katakana's hands shook from excitement as she opened the lid of the engraved mahogany box. An orange light filled the room as soon as the lid was cracked open. They gasped at the sight. Two orange, softball sized, orbs sat in a small creator of velvet at the bottom of the box.
Sakura was the first to overcome her shock. She reached over and lightly touched one of the orbs. It was strangely warm and the lighter colors inside it shifted to where her finger tips rested. Sakura picked it up and studied it carefully.
Thomas picked up the second orb with less care than Sakura had demonstrated, "I wonder what they are."
Katakana put the box down, "They're beautiful whatever they are."
Something caught Sakura's eye and she wandered over to see what it was. "A diary?" she asked herself, gaining the attention of everyone else in the large attic.
Sakura opened the small book and watched, aggravated, as the pages crumbled and disintegrated from age and weathering. She tilted and blew on the book to get the paper pieces off. The only page left was the last one. Everyone had gathered behind her to see what she had found.
Sakura leaned against a desk and watched out of the corner of her eye as Thomas shifted the orange colored orb to his right hand, "What's it say?"
Sakura squinted at it and attempted to read what was written even though parts had disintegrated and read aloud (A/N: I know, I know, the dates and time are off. The whole story seems to take place in the same time period (evident by the play stations in the 'game room') but it's too late to go back and fix things now. There will be no future gismos or gadgets since I originally made the Hearts sequels to take place within one year (one turned into five and so on) The gang in the attic are all 17 years old.)
"April, 6th 1989,
…Aerosmith is an awesome band to travel with…We've already preformed twelve shows & the fans love us! …I only wish Kenshin was here to see us. Vash and I are getting married soon. His skills haven't gotten rusty at all over the years! …The mansion has been picked out by Tanya. We'll all be living there… Kenshin's as well as Kageunsei, Suzaku & Mayonaka's memory will live on…
As always… NOT TO BE READ TILL THE DAY I'M DEAD & BURRIED!"
Sakura stopped reading seeing as the page was worn too much to see the very last entry.
Kageunsei puffed himself up in annoyance, "I was named after a dead guy?!"
"I'd like to know who all the people mentioned are," Katakana said thoughtfully.
Thomas rolled his eyes, "This Kenshin sounds interesting."
"With a name like that, of course you'd be interested," Kageunsei muttered.
"I just wish we could have met Kenshin," Thomas said while holding the orb. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I wish we knew who all these people are," Sakura said.
Rei appeared, her grey undercoat beginning to stand out against the brown from shedding.
The wolf growled and snapped her teeth Leave.
The teenagers looked at each other in confusion.
NOW! the wolf snarled.
(A/N: It's beginning to unfold. This story DOES take place with the other characters, not just their kids! You just have to wait a few more chapters for everyone to appear and say more then one sentence! PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
