Disclaimer: Ok I'm actually going to move one with a little musical series of the want to be written story but just the songs. I've got too many going on now to start a new one.

I own nothing.

Journey to the Past

Meanwhile at the farthest reaches of the city the local orphanage was saying a farewell to one of its overgrown residents.

"I found you a job at the Cyber Jar Factory!" bellowed on of the keeper's workers, Gravekeeper's Guard as he shoved a tall young man toward the gates. He was a rather handsome young man with fair lavender hair and clear sky blue eyes, (an unusual feature for one who has lived in this desolate realm). His cloths were oversized and already were unraveling with dirt and sand from the desert storms. But he didn't care.

"Just go down this road until you reach a fork. Go north!"

But the brute's orders were cut off by the shout and screams of the younger children gathering at every door and window waving, "Bye! Goodbye!"

"Mahado! Are you listening!"

Mahado just looked to the old blackened building and waved in return, "Goodbye everyone! I'll miss you!"

Kids: "Good luck out there!"

The young master nearly fell backward when the guard grabbed him by his oversized scarf. "You have been a thorn in my side" the guard grunted while dragging the young man to the gates. Mahado released himself and calmly followed him as the guard babbled on.

"For the last twelve years, I fed you I clothed you-

Mahado and guard: "kept a roof over my head…"

The guard stopped at the gate and turned to the boy, "How is it that you have come here with no memory at all and yet act like the king of Sogen eh?"

"I don't know." Mahado said walking to the gate, fiddling around with a charm around his neck. It was made of a sage's stone tied with a thin chain. All around the charm a faint inscription decorated the rim.

The guard then grabbed the charm to take a better look, "'Together in Yami'? Ah! I see…you want to go to Yami and find your family eh?"

Mahado nodded with a smile. He had arrived in the orphanage when he was only six years old. He was found wondering around the city after the revolution, lost, with a hard bump on his head, and no memory anything beforehand…his only clue to who he was…was the necklace."

"Listen child," The guard said throwing an arm over his shoulder, "It's about time to get rid of these dreams and join the real world. And be grateful too!" with that he threw Mahado out through the gates onto the desert sands. "Together in Yami! Ahahahaha!"

The young man Mahado ventured cross the long desolate road as the blistering winds fluttered his cloaks to nearly flying off on their own. "'Be grateful Mahado'." He muttered under his breath, turning back only for a moment, "I am grateful. Grateful to get away! Go north!' he says. I know it's north." He soon stopped underneath a large sturdy sign post for shelter. "I'll be Mahado the orphan forever….but if I head east…maybe…" He reached back into the deep caller of his shirt and pulled out the necklace, "Whoever gave me this necklace must've loved me…it's ridicules! Me? Go to Yami?"

At that moment the storm suddenly ceased. The grown orphan threw his cape around and shook his raggedy cloths to shed much of the heavy sands. His mind was boggled by the decision he had unknowingly brought to mind. If he went north as he was told he would be trapped in a dark filthy factory working day in and day out making jars and magical bombs for the rest of his life. The longings to find out who he was would only be a distant wish that would never come true. Yet if he disobeyed he might never get past the main city and be arrested or be forced back toward the factory.

Boggled Mahado sat down under the sign to think, "Send me a sign! I hint! Anything…."

Crunching, rasping, squealing and squirming, a small furry fiend monster crawled out of the sand. It rubbed at its large eyes and looked around to see Mahado with his back toward him.

Feeling a sense of joy the furball jumped up and hovered over to him. It landed three feet away and started jumping about cooing happily, begging for attention.

Mahado only swatted at the creature hardly looking at it, "Not now little guy. I'm waiting for a sign."

Suddenly, and without warning the Kuriboh pounced on Mahado and snatched the cap right off his head.

"Hey! Get back here!"

The Kuriboh gnarled at the hat and bounced back and forth happily.
The young man was bouncing as well, only onto his face trying to catch the bugger.

"Oof! Ow!" after landing on his face a third and forth time he rolled onto his back and rubbed the sand out of his face. The Kuriboh stood above his head hat in teeth and cooed happily.

He stood back up and watched as the critter bounced eastward and wagged his 'tail' happily.

"Oh great. A Kuriboh wants me to go to Maze City."

Immediately he gasped realizing that he just might have received his sign.

He stood back up again and walked over to the Kuriboh, "Ok then. I can take the hint." Mahado gazed onward down the chosen path. His hopes racing fastly in his chest.

"Heart don't fail me now

Courage don't desert me

Don't turn back now that we're here,"

Thinking of every step he slowly followed the young fiend still dragging the hat against the sands.

"People always say

Life is full of choices, no ones ever mentioned fear

Or how the world can seem do vast

On this journey….

To the past!"

The wonderer soon quickened his steps. With once full swoop he gathered the Kuriboh in his arms and placed his cap back on his head. The ball of sand clogged fur perched itself on Mahado's shoulder and nuzzled again his cheek.

"Somewhere down this road

I know someone's waiting

Years of dreams just can't be wrong

Arms will open wide

I'll be safe and wanted

Finally home where I belong

Well starting now I'm learning fast

On this journey

To the past!"

A light steady breeze blew across the desert as Mahado slowly entered the boundaries of the city. He stopped only for a short moment to look on to a small mud brick house. In front three small children were playing around while the parents lovingly watched from the hut.

"Home, love, family

There was once a time I must have had them too

Home, love, family

I will never be complete until I found you"

Now more determined then ever he ran further down the narrow road. The Kuriboh hovered around eager to follow the boy.

"One step at a time,

One hope then another

Who knows where this road may go

Back to who I was

On to find my future

Things my heart still needs to know

Once again he grabbed the Kuriboh and spun around once happily as he ran ever faster.

"Yes! Let this be a sign

Let this road be mine

Let it lead me to my past

And bring me home…"

He stopped at the top of the massive dune which overlooked the great city of St. Wasteland.

"At laaaaaaaast!"

So what do you think? I know I haven't done any new songfics in a while, and this seems more like a fic instead of a regular song chapter so….please tell me what you think pleeeease! (puppy dog eyes)

Any flames will be used to heat up my history classroom. (it's always freezing in there!)
