Shriek-!

"Ugh! That is just disgusting!"

"Huh?" Lani slowly opened her eyes to come face to face with bright vibrant gold eyes.

"AH!" she screamed jumping back. She tried scrambling to her feet only to slip and land face first in...

"Ugh…" she moaned, "what is this shit?" she said wiping her face.

"-Chuckle- I believe that would be the remains of that snake demon."

Lani's eyes widened as she jumped up only to slip again. "Good GOD!" she screamed in frustration. Suddenly she heard a deep chuckle coming from behind her. She snapped her head towards the man, fire blazing in her eyes.

"Do you mind?" she said angrily threw her teeth.

"hahaha no, no please continue, hahahaha!" the man said rolling over in laughter.

Lani turned towards him, crossed her arms and sat with her nose in the air, "and what do you find so funny?"

"hahaha You! Hahahahaha"

Lani began to seethe in anger, "You little-" she began jumping up, only to yet again slip, which sent the man in another laughing fit.

"hahahaha-please, please stop!-hahahaha I- I- can't breath-hahahahahahaha"

Lani sat there red with embarrassment, suddenly it hit her, "Jade!" Lani began to look in every direction only to find a completely mush covered Jade.

"-Shudder- so...wrong…-shudder-" Jade said, trying to wipe the goop onto a nearby tree.

Lani shook her head with slight snort, "Now back to the current issue." She murmured to herself. She turned back to the man who was now leaning against a tree trying to catch his breath.

Lani cleared her throat, catching his attention quickly. He turned to meet her gaze and answered back with an enormous grin.

"What are you grinning at?" Lani said with sass, but his grin would just grow larger, "Ugh…great finally a guy notices me and he's a flippin' weirdo…oh the irony…" she thought

"Soooo…uhhh…-cough-…erm…I guess I owe you a…thanks? I mean for the whole getting rid of the giant snake...thingy…"

He shrugged in response.

"Heh…yeah…ummm so…thanks."

He just shrugged again in response.

"Jeeze don't rush in your response or anything." She murmured to herself

"I heard that." He said.

"Oh heh…peachy…"

Suddenly a hand appeared out of nowhere, "I have a feeling you wont be getting up anytime soon…"

Lani stared at the hand, then to the face of its owner, "Hm…why do you look so familiar…?" she thought.

"Come on, it's gonna be dark soon…and if you thought that snake demon was bad then…well…heh… lets put it this way…you won't want to see the night dwellers then."

With that said Lani quickly grabbed his hand and he quickly pulled her to her feet.

Once on her feet, Lani began to wipe the goop off, but it was a hopeless case. She looked to the face of their savior, and quickly whipped her hand out, "The names Lani, and that sad excuse over there is my friend Jade."

He shrugged his head in response, "I know who you are."

"Oh…" she began, lowering her hand, "Well…that's…kinda creepy…but none the less! What's your name?"

Shrug, "You tell me"

"…Excuse me?"

Within a flash Lani found herself in another embrace, "Lani…you're finally back…" he said in a whisper.

Lani completely mind boggled stood there with her mouth open, pretty much looking like a fish out of water. Finally realizing what was happening Lani pushed the man and jumped backwards.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" she screamed

He quickly grabbed her by the shoulders looking her strait in the face, "Lani, it's me! Please Lani!" he said, frantically looking at her, "Please you must remember!"

Lani shoved him away, "I don't know who the hell you are, and never touch me again." Lani stared at the man as his face made the expression of obvious pain.

He lowered his head with his bangs covering his eyes, "Please Lani… you-you don't mean that…please."

Lani's face softened with compassion, "I'm…I'm sorry…but…I…"

His face rose to look at her, only to lower again, "…You really don't…do you?"

"…I-I…" she stammered

In a quick flash he grabbed her shoulders again and looked her dead in the eyes with determination in his eyes, "Look me in the face and tell me you can't honestly remember me. Look at me!"

Lani shocked at his actions stood there a moment,

" I-"

"Look at me."

Lani stood there and began to search his face for any recognition. Soon in a wave of emotion hit her, she quickly grabbed her head in pain. "What's going on!" her mind screamed, she heard Jade screaming for her, soon in a flash of burning pain she heard voices all mashed together all talking at once.

"It's your destiny…-Ryu be nice to your sister-Shippo my hero!-Lani welcome to the world- Taro you pervert!-go play with dolls or something-why can't you be normal-only you could be that much of a loser-why don't I belong anywhere!- What's your name little girl? -Welcome to Ms. Yoshi's Orphanage-No one wants you, you piece of crap- Lani always remember how much me and your father love you-Lani I'm sorry- no one hurts my sister! -Don't worry Lani, I'll always be there for you- daddy why does Ryu hate me? -Lani, you may be a weirdo girl, but you're my sister, and no matter what, I'll always love you… -

"AHHH!" Lani screamed collapsing to the ground, "STOP!" she screamed in agony. Suddenly, as if someone hit pause, the memories stopped. She felt reality coming back and heard a familiar voice,

"YOU FLAMMING PIECE OF SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DAMMAGE! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO YOU FUCK HEAD!"

"-Moan- Jade quit it." Moaned Lani

"Lani!" Jade screamed embracing her friend, " You're ok!"

"Ugh not if you keep screaming in my ear…"

"Oh oops...heh…"

Suddenly she heard another voice, "…Lani?"

Lani opened her eyes to see the man looking at her with worry,

"…I'm sorry…" he looked away ashamed, "I-I don't know what happened…"

"Join the club" Lani said rubbing her temples, "Listen Ryu I know you mean well but-"

"What did you say?" said the man awestruck.

"Huh…? Well- " Lani's eyes widened as she looked towards the man, "R-Ryu…?…Bu-But that's… Impossible! You….You can't be!"

A broad smile began to grow on the man's face.

"…But that was only in my dreams!…and dreams are NOT reality!… Or at least…I thought so…?"

Lani looked at the man in front of her, "…And plus! That Ryu was a little kid! And no offence you aren't exactly what I call a little kid."

As Lani stammered on the man approached the confused girl and pulled her into a hug. Lani's rambling quickly came to a stop as she looked at the man hugging her.

"You're finally back…sister." He murmured

0o0o0o
