OPPOSING FOR THE LOST

Not a sound but the soft rustling breeze would be usually heard on a normal night in the Ishidan Kingdom. But that evening was different - blood shed chaos was everywhere.
Some Ishidan villagers took cover inside their homes, not knowing what was going to happen …having lost faith and hope in their King whom had abandoned them…
While most of the people, in the town, came to conclusions to flee their homes and lives, just for their own satisfied safety. They decided to travel to certain serene towns, nearby, to start over and live a peaceful life away from the bickers. These people rampaged their way through the crowded overflowing streets, but never comprehended that escaping the kingdom meant many of their deaths. Yet again the enemy was a step ahead of them and knew the villagers so well of their cowardliness pitiful actions. This was why he planned everything from the beginning, sending his faithful guards where the Ishidan people would try and escape…to murder them off course or to take them up as his useful slaves…
Moment's later slaughtered ear piercing screams filled the air and death was certain in each corner one would turn. The Dark Guards of the opposing enemy invaded with full force, so very corrupt that they would even murder defenseless innocent people - right in front of their loved ones…
A lone hooded figure stumbled back towards the town. The crowds were large and she could not help but bump into a couple of people.
"Watch where you are goin', lady!" a man growled at her and spat in disgust, hurrying away from her.
What nerve! The obscenity! If that man only knew whom she was, he would be kneeling before her and kissing her bare-naked feet. So this was how they treated ladies of non royal wealthy decent…
The woman gave a swiftly gathered her strength and pulled her up from the dirty ground and in her left arm carried a precious load. She ran as fast as she could ever go and gasped in exhaustion and continued to utter words to herself, " I must get to…to the Kamiya household…"
She was only a couple of meters away. Then something least expecting occurred. A dagger had stabbed on her side making her give a painful shriek and causing her limp body to fall back onto her knees.
The Dark Guard howled in triumph, dashing away to find its next victim and suspecting that the woman was already dead.
She wasn't going to give up yet…she had to make sure Takeru was safe…
The Queen weakly stood up and belted on in a slow pace, on step at a time. A brief smile wavered on her lips. She had arrived at her destination. Using all the strength she could muster, she knocked on the door. Unfortunately as she had knocked, she collapsed onto the ground.

They could hear the door rattling…
A bit of light filtered through under the door that you could see three figures squatting inside a dark closet. A mother rocked her one-year-old baby girl in her arm, her vacant arm tightly embraced her son in reassurance.
"Not a sound," she whispered an instruction to her children, putting a finger against her lips.
The three figures remained in the position for a few minutes, until the little boy could not take it anymore. Stubbornly, he stood up and got out of the closet as he whispered back to his mother, "Father always told me that 'tis better to hunt than be hunted and that a man should never be a cowardly weakling."
"Taichi, come back!" his mother cried quietly, cursing that her dead husband had ever taught their son such reckless words. Courageously, he shook his head back at Lady Kamiya.
"Mama, stay here," Taichi beckoned.
He slowly closed the closet door and advanced into the front of the house, where the door had stopped rattling. His chocolate colored hair stuck up in all direction and his warm eyes were emblazoned with a mixture of fear and bravery. He pulled an arrow from his Quiver, which was slung over his small shoulder, and fastened it on his bow with skill.
Giving a small nervous sigh, he kicked the door open to face the still darkness clearly aware of the danger.
"Who goes there?" he demanded cautiously, pointing the bow in aimless directions as his small eyes scanned the night.
His sharp ears caught a sleepy yawn. His eyes widened.
"Mother!" he bellowed mournfully, obviously shaken in awe of what he had just witnessed.
In an instance, his mother and baby sister appeared by his side.
"Taichi, take Kari. "
Immediately, she propelled the bow from Taichi's tiny fingers and let him carry his sister. She then bent down and tried to carry the motionless unconscious body to the kitchen table, the nearest object where she could place the person.
"Ma…there's - I think Takeru's…"
The woman nodded to her son, and took the hood off the person's head and untied the cloak.
"Oh my…" she whispered. In her patient's arm was a young baby. His crystal blue eyes sparkled with fear. "Taichi, look after Takeru for me…as well as your sister."
Taichi gathered his stamina and carried the other baby in his left arm, while in his right arm he held his younger sibling.
While, Lady Kamiya proceeded to tear off the blood-drenched cloak. She removed the dagger from the victim's side and flung it away then retrieved a dry cloth, soaked it in warm water and tended the deep wound.
"Taichi, bandages please," she muttered as she continued to nurse the woman. She did not need to turn around to make sure that her son had followed her instructions, even though he was looking after the two younger children. Within seconds later, her son had somehow returned with the bandages needed. Whenever her husband returned from various battles, she had always dealt with deathly wounds. And now…he - her husband - was dead…and there was no way that she, as a nurse, would let another life slip so easily away…
Her determined complexion worked hard, wrapping the bandages around the, now, cleaned wound.
"All done…" Lady Kamiya sighed as she sat on a wooden chair in exhaustion, staring at her patient incredulously. She wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, " Now…all we can do is wait…there's nothing else we can do with the condition she is in. I'm not even sure that a dagger can do so much harm…"
The household remained silent for a few minutes…
"Taichi, why are you playing with that? " Lady Kamiya questioned wearily to her son who was clutching the dagger suspiciously.
"There…There's green stuff on the knife!"
Lady Kamiya hurriedly got off her seat to examine the weapon. She hissed to herself… "Poison? … someone put poison on the tip of the blade…how…"
"Char-Charmaine?" someone whimpered.
Taichi's mother dropped the dagger and hurried to her patient on the table, whom seemed to be waking from her unconscious state.
"Yes, your Highness…it…it is I," Lady Kamiya whispered, as blurred tears began to appear in her eyes.
"No…There is no need for formalities…when I … when my death is approaching," Queen Ishida said weakly.
"Don not speak of death. You are not going to die!" the nurse exclaimed back.
" I cannot hide from death, Charmaine… The poison is draining my energy…Even your- your son knows that I haf come to my end…" she gave a tiny smile as she stared at Taichi. Her eyes suddenly widened, " Takeru…where's Takeru?!"
"He's here, in my arms," Taichi answered, as he sadly looked at his queen.
"Everything's…everything's blurry…"
"Yamato…where is Yamato?" Taichi blurted out, he could not help but ask.
"He's safe, young Taichi. That is all you need to know…"
"You mustn't use all your energy…you must fight. Fight for the will to live," Lady Kamiya encouraged. " You are only lessening your time on earth…"
"I need you," the dying woman replied. " I need you to look after Takeru. If he questions you…when he's older…of where he came from…tell him he was adopted. 'Takaishi' use that name - my maiden name- as his surname. And later…later when he has reached a certain mature age…you can tell him."
"No…don't die on me, Natsuoke,…you were my closest friend," Lady Kamiya sobbed, her fingers trapping her delicate face.
"You must listen…" the Ishidan Queen replied, " Takeru must be safe…he must be hidden until the time comes…he will be able to take charge and overthrow the enemy. It's our only chance of success, to gain back what is rightfully ours. We can only wait…until the time is right…I trust you Charmaine, I leave my son - the heir of the Ishidan Kingdom - with you…"

1)Along 76th Avenue
2)Along 76th Avenue Again

These three stories contain a whole lot of drama. They teach you a better outlook in life, including the quotes Says TB states. She's a wonderful author who has improved greatly throughout her long 3 years time on and someone I looked up to. It's too bad she doesn't write anymore, but I'm sure that she'll come back one day…but not write Digimon fanfics. If you're reading this right now, Says TB, miss ya heaps girl! D
