Reflections and Music

"Alright," Mannen said as he gazed upon the mansion, "Now that we're here what do we do?"

"Simple," Goh responded, "We go inside and face the last three twins followed by Hidoi herself."

"Good answer."

Atarashi pushed pass them and opened the door. Inside they found hundreds, if not thousands, of mirrors. Kei froze as realization hit him. He knew who they would be facing here. Slowly he pulled ahead of the others. He couldn't allow them to get hurt. Sasame looked at him curiously before he stopped the others from moving forward. Only Kei could stop this new enemy.

Hi smiled as the Knight of Light came forward. Kei couldn't see him yet in the shadows and if all went well, he never would. Quietly he moved in behind the oblivious knight when suddenly he heard a shout.

"Kei! Behind you!" Sasame cried.

Kei turned quickly and launched an attack sending Hi flying back. Hi was on his feet instantly and he hid himself once more. This time however he carefully aimed his attack at the mirrors. It bounced silently off each one before it smashed into the small of Kei's back.

"Having fun Kei?" Hi's voice echoed throughout the room, "By hitting you I had your body close the door. Now your dear outside help can't get in here to aid you."

"Why don't you fight fair and show yourself?"

"No can do!" Hi laughed. He quickly stopped as he saw Kei take off running. Confused he followed until he found himself face to face with a mirror. He growled loudly in frustration.

Kei's laughter now filled the room, "That's what I thought. You don't know your way through this room any better than me. Now I'd like you to meet the full power of this room!"

Hi panicked as light bounced off the walls in every direction heading right towards him. He screamed in pain as every last one hit him straight on. Kei had managed to use the one attack that he was trying to pull off.

Outside, the others heard everything as they finally pushed open the door. The found Kei on his knees next to Hi with mirrors smashed all around him. Atarashi moved forward and saw that Hi was laying there smiling.

"So Prétear are you going to save me like you did my friends?"

"Yes."

Tears filled Hi's eyes as he whispered, "Thank you."

His body turned into leafe and a small bit stayed to fill Kei's injured body.

They now moved down a corridor until they heard the sound of a flute. Its melody enchanted them until each one fell asleep. Sasame, on the other hand, created a shield around his ears as he continued forward. This was his clone and only he was meant to fight him. In his arms he carried Atarashi. He had no idea how he would break this spell but once he did only she could purify the enemy.

In the new chamber he found instruments of every kind. Sitting in the center of the room was his clone, calmly playing a piece of music on one of the music stands. When he saw Sasame he smiled and set down his flute. Then he stood and bowed deeply before the other knight.

"How good of you to come join me, Sasame. Now I won't have to play my music alone. But you may not want to, am I right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Koe smiled, "Simple, you have mastered so much of your powers. From sonic blasts to long-distance hearing. However you have not mastered one talent of yours and this makes you weak and me strong.

"I can use the sounds of my voice and from the music I make to attack or defend. Tell me, have you ever even considered doing such a thing?"

Sasame looked at him startled. As far as he could remember, nothing like that had ever crossed his mind. Sasame didn't think upon this for long though because suddenly Koe grabbed his flute again and blew the highest note that it could create.

Sasame fell to the floor in pain. He could only watch as the girl in his arms hit the ground. Blinding pain continued to fill him until darkness covered his eyes.

In this darkness he found himself looking upon a memory that he had long since buried. There in front of him was the image of a small boy with silver hair. He sat crying in his hiding place. Bullies were chasing him and if he was caught then they wouldn't stop hurting him until he was near dead. The boy suddenly went quiet as three rather large boys entered the alley looking for him. They looked around for a little while before they shrugged and moved on.

Then Sasame saw the boy do something strange. He began to sing to himself and as he did a purple haze surrounded him. One of the bullies returned upon hearing the song but when he tried to attack the scared boy he was thrown away by this purple light. Scared, the bully ran away. Sasame was now faced with shadow once again.

The pain had stopped and so he slowly sat up to see that Atarashi was standing in front of him singing. Her voice was hitting notes higher than the flute could play much to Koe dismay. Furious he dropped the flute and ran at her.

Sasame opened his mouth and a beautiful melody fell from it. It stopped Koe in his tracks causing him to hold his head in pain. Sasame now smiled as he sang. This was the song that he had always remembered. He didn't know who sang it to him but silently he thanked them now.

Finally Koe fell unconscious and Atarashi moved forward. His body became leafe and a part of him stayed and filled Sasame's body. Seconds later the others ran in. There was still one more clone to fight.
