A Visitor In The Night

Yoko had fallen asleep while reading the diary and all the Signs were in their beds sleeping as well. The whole house was asleep unaware that a person was sneaking into their home. The uninvited cloaked visitor was dressed in an ice blue cloak that shadowed their face. The cloaked figure made it to the door of the home and took out a moon pendant. The figure held it to the door and the door opened. The visitor made it to Nakada's bedroom and looked through her plants. She came to the baby plant but strangely it didn't let go of its poison to this intruder. It purred as the cloaked figure stroked its leaves and stem as if happy to see an old friend. The person giggled a bit and went out of Nakada's bedroom. The person visited the other Signs being very careful as to not wake them up. At last the cloaked figure made it to the infirmary where Hiei, Caralama and Yoko were still sleeping.

The cloaked figure seemed to glide over to Caralama and Hiei. It laid their hand on Caralama's head and it began to glow and icy blue. Caralama stirred a bit but the figure hushed her and she began to settle down. The figure than went to Hiei with a blanket in its hands and covered him up.

Lastly the cloaked figure went over to Yoko also with a blanket and covered him as well setting the diary on his lap and just stood their looking at him. Then the figure began to caress his cheek with the back of its hand and started to bring their face close to his but then it stopped its descent.

The figure drew back and touched his forehead and the figure's hand stared to glow the same colour of blue like it had when the figure had touched Caralama. The figure then drew back their hand and began to leave. Just when the figure was about to exist through the door it heard a voice, "Nakada don't go," the cloaked figure stopped and stood still in its place and turned to look at Yoko. He was still asleep but the figure knew that it was him who had spoke.

The figure just looked at Yoko uncertain but did nothing and opened the door and left the infirmary. The figure made it back to the doors without being noticed and did the same thing with their pendant. Soon the cloaked figure was in the sea and swimming toward the open sea with the tail of a fish.

Caralama woke up a little while after the figure had left. She was no longer in shock but she looked around as if trying to find someone and saw that Hiei was covered up with a blanket and was holding her hand. She gently let go and went over to Yoko. He was covered up as well and had the diary on his lap. She went over to him and started to pat his shoulder but he didn't wake up. Worried she started to scratch behind his ears and Yoko started to purr and she saw something move under the blanket. Smiling Caralama knew he was enjoying being scratched behind the ear because that was his tail under the then gently poked Yoko a little and he woke up and looked at Caralama who was smiling. He smiled as well and saw that he was covered in a blanket.

"Who put this on me?" he asked as he gently unwrapped himself from it.

"I don't know but I have guess," Caralama said with a smile on her face and Yoko looked at her

"Who do you think it was Caralama?" he asked looking atherwith a questionable face.

"Nakada!" Yoko was so surprised by this answer he had to sit down again but he had sat on his tail and to get up again to reposition it, "Yoko it had to have been her. I felt her in my mind the presence was so familiar! It felt just like her!" Caralama was whispering all of this and she was also sitting on the bed Yoko had slept in when he had gone through his nightmare.

After getting over the shock of what Caralama said Yoko went over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and laid her head on his shoulder, "I believe you Caralama. I felt her in my mind as well last night giving me some of her strength and whispering to me, but I don't know what she said," Caralama snuggled closer to Yoko and closed her eyes.

"Maybe she said you shouldn't be so hard on your self for your mistakes. You know I might not have been able to see or think things clearly but I was aware of everything around me, even when I was unconscious," she looked up at him and saw that he was looking at her and there was something in his eyes that she could not name, "You are almost like Nakada you know. Always beating yourself up when you think you did something wrong. You do act like a father should Yoko, dad. I know I haven't had the chance to experience it but I see it well enough in other fathers. You are exactly the way a father should be," Caralama wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head down on his chest.

Yoko looked down at her and had to smile as he held her close knowing she was right. He had felt Nakada in his mind as well that night and he recognized her immediately her scent was also in the room, "Why do you think she was hear last night?" he asked her.

Caralama looked up at him and shrugged as she snuggled closer to him, "She might have been here because she knew you were in trouble and wanted to see if you were alright. Believe it or not Nakada always tries to protect the ones she cares about no matter what,"she closed her eyes for a second and Yoko began to think she was asleep but when he took a good look at her he saw that she wasn't only resting a little.

"Come one Caralama we had better tell the Signs," Yoko gave her a slight squeeze and then began to get up putting the diary on the side table, "Oh I finished the diary," Caralama looked up at him and smiled. They both went over to Hiei who was still asleep and then Yoko had an evil thought and he grinned a wicked grin.

He went over to Hiei and put his lips close to his ear and he whispered, "Hiei wake up," Hiei just swatted his hand and turned in the chair. The fox's smile got bigger and he went to Hiei's ear again and Caralama was trying to suppress her giggles. When Yoko was at the same distance he was before to Hiei's ear he said, "HIEI WAKE UP!" in aloud voicealmost yelling and Hiei fell out of the chair wide eyed. Caralama and Yoko were trying there best to contain their laughter with covering their mouths with one hand and holding their sides with the other. Hiei glared at Yoko took a pillow and threw it at the fox. Yoko was hit in the face and Hiei started to laugh as well but he was hit the face with the same pillow. Hiei looked at Yoko and Caralama who both had their hands behind their backs and having a sudden interest in the ceiling looking like little "angels."He just laughed as he put back the pillow and soon they to started to laugh as well.

"Can we take part in the joke?" said a voice behind them. They turned around and saw that Rinoa and Squall there behind them just entering the room.

"What ever it was seems to have lifted your spirits greatly by the looks of it," Squall said with a smile on his face.

"It's one of those times when you just had to be there," Caralama said long enough before she went into a fit of giggles. Yoko had to hold her to keep her standing.

"Not again I guess it was funny. Honestly she acts just like Nakada when something funny happens. Just get into a fit of giggles and can almost never stop," Squall said as he went over to Caralama who was starting to topple and Hiei had to both hold her up now and they also had grins on their faces.

After a few minutes Caralama finally stopped laughing and she was calm again but she still had a grin on her face. Then she looked at Yoko and he nodded, "Caralama and I think Nakada was here last night," there was silence in the room for a while.

"All of the other Signs think Nakada was here as well. We went to her room and talked to the plants and they said that she was there," Squall said with a small smile on his face.

Caralama smiled as well but it soon disappeared, "Why would Nakada want to leave us again?" The room was silent again.

Hiei sat on the bed next to Caralama and said, "Maybe she had no choice, I mean she went to Deaths' remember? Maybe it was part of a newdeal or something," Caralama leaned against him and closed her eyes and sighed.

"Maybe we can catch her some how," the Signs looked all around and then they looked up and saw Jennah jump down from the ceiling, "I mean we might be able to!" she said as she landed perfectly with out bending her knees.

"Yeah and she might never come back as well if we do!" Squall looked a bit angry at Jennah for thinking about catching his sister.

"But we have to try Squall!" Jennah protested to him getting a bit angry, "We don't know why she left any way so we have to get her to tell us!"

"She left because she falling in love with someone!" everyone looked at Yoko.

"Yoko why would she leave if she was falling in love with someone?" Jennah asked a bit suspicious.

"Because she made a deal with Death that if she were to fall in love with anyone before I was eighteen I would be die!" Caralama said standing up, "I wasn't supposed to live after a few days after I was born and Nakada new that because she had read it in the prophesy books. So she went to Deaths' and made a deal that until I had reached the age where I couldn't die of sickness or anything she couldn't love a man intimately who wasn't her family," everyone looked at Caralama. She looked serious and a bit angry but she did not shed a single tear.

Hiei stood up beside her and held her closeto him, "Caralama how did you find this out? And who was the person she was falling in love with?" Rinoa asked calmly.

"I read one of the prophecy books one day and understood one of the past riddles..."

"As for who she fell in love with I finished Nakada's diary last nightI found out it was me she was falling in love with," Yoko sat down on one of beds and laid his head in his hands. The Signs looked at Yoko to Caralama and then back again.

"Why didn't she tell us before? Was she aloud to?" Squall was speaking in a calm voice and he sat next to Yok on the bed.

"Yes Nakada was aloud to tell you but she didn't want any of you to worry so she kept it a secret," he said with his head still in his hands.

"Your not telling us something Yoko what is it?" Jennah said as she walked and kneeled beside Yoko.

Caralama was instantly at his side, "You are crowding him with your questions! Can't you see that telling you this is hurting him? You all can read the diary now so go and read it!" Caralama instantly got off the bed got the diary from the bedside table and gave it to the Signs who weren't crowding Yoko any more. They nodded and left the infirmary.

Jennah was the last one out and she looked behind her at the two demons and Caralama. She smiled and said to Hiei, "Hiei," he looked at her and she continued, "they both threw the pillow at you," and with that Jennah was out of the door in a flash. Caralama and Yoko were trying to suppress their giggles when the saw the look on Hiei's face. He looked like he was slapped in the face and then a second later he went behind Caralama who had her eyes closed while still trying to suppress her giggles and started to tickle her.

Of course though Yoko and Caralama gained up on him and they triedto tickle him back. Soon after the little fight Caralama took out the letter that was in the diary and gave it to Yoko. He looked at it and then he looked at the other two, "Do you want us to leave Yoko?" Hiei asked a bit worried. He shook his head no and began to open the letter. He looked over it and then he began to read aloud.

Dear Yoko

I suspect you will be reading this with Hiei and Caralama around but I don't mind. I know you probably think your self the reason why I left but I don't want you to think like that. I love you yes but I will never blame you because I love you. I was always good at making long entries in my diary but I was never good at making letters Caralama was always the one that made her letters long.

I will try to visit you and the Signs whenever I can but it depends on the new deal I am going to have to make with Death. To be honest Yoko I never really thought I would fall in love with someone. Sure I had some odd crushes but they ended up loving someone else and I didn't care. But when I think of you loving someone else either than me I just couldn't bare for that to happen. I hope you love me and tell Caralama that she is not the reason I'm leaving as well. Things like this happen and I don't want any of you to think that you are to blame. I would feel much better if you didn't blame your selves when it is really just that well I blame myself as well and I don't want you to blame your selves.

I hope to see you soon,

Nakada

After Yoko had finished reading the letter Caralama began to smile, "You were right Yoko she didn't want us to blame our selves but she really didn't need to blame herself as well," Caralama kind of frowned at that but it went away soon.

Yoko put the letter back into the envelope and sighed a bit, "Caralama there are some things I have to tell you about what was written in Nakada's diary..." but before he could say anything Caralama held up her hand.

"Yoko let me tell you something first. I wasn't sure if I was right about what the prophecy book had said so I went into Nakada's room one day when she wasn't there and I found her diary. I took it and I knew it was wrong but I sat on her bed and started to open it. I found the page I was looking for and I found out that I was right about Nakada going to Deaths'. But I also found out that Nakada was my mother I don't mind but that means you really are my father," Caralama hung her head in shame while she told this to Hiei and Yoko. Hiei just smiled and wrapped an arm around her.

"I was wondering why you had pointy ears and whyyou reminded me so much of Yoko," Hiei said as she lifted her head up and saw that Yoko was smiling as well.

Hiei let Caralama go and she went over to Yoko and they held each other tightly, "I'm just wondering how the other Signs are going to take this," Yoko said and Caralama held him tighter.

"I just hope they don't think anything bad about Nakada especially my other mother," she said against his chest. Hiei went up to them and sat in a chair that was next to the bed. A clock on the table said it was twelve o'clock in the morning but it they didn't care.
