Paradise
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light… her light

A/N: Remember that Tai has been manipulated by his father, and so may seem to act a little OOC. Matt and T.K were a little manipulated, but since they don't respect and love their father as much, it didn't have the same effect on them…

Running, running, running…
Why was she running?
She didn't know, but it felt right to her somehow.
Somewhere within her…
So she kept running…
But Why? Her mind consistently asked… What is the point of running into black nothingness, going nowhere, gaining nothing?
No, she replied to herself, she felt a great sense of achievement, as she ran into the darkness, and so, she was gaining something.
Her mind disagreed with this, but relented slightly.
She was following something
That she knew
Or someone…
But why?
Did she know the person?
Was she trying to catch up with something?
She peered into the black nothingness…
But it was a vacuum of empty, dark space.
She shivered, her head pounding…
Who was she?, she heard her ever questioning mind ask…
That easy, she replied, I'm…
She halted… her head pounding, her heart stopping as she realised… she didn't know…
…She didn't know anything…

"Open the gates!" The prince yelled "Hurry! Get the master healer into the healing wing immediately" he ordered a servant, who was eying the bloody bundle in his arms curiously.
"Yes, My lord"
"Okaa-san!" he cried "Otou-san!"
The king and Queen appeared immediately as the prince ran into the castle.
"Taichi! What is it?"
Taichi looked down, the adrenalin from his latest battle wearing off, the adrenalin that kept made him run with all haste for his little sisters sake slowly tingling away as he realised he had made it back to the castle.
He looked up at his parents, his eyes dull with worry, and his heart heavy and confused.
"its her" he breathed. "its Kari"
"What?" his mother gasped, tears overflowing from her eyes. The motherly queen reached out her hand, softly touching the bloody cheek. "B-But, H-how?" she cried.
"There's no time for that," the king ordered. "She must get to the healing rooms as quickly as possible"
Almost instantaneously, junior healers appeared, gently taking the bundle from Taichi, and carefully took her to the Royal Healing Rooms, as ordered.
Soon Taichi found himself watching as his sisters wounds were cleaned, and the deep mark on her head was bound up.
"Its her… Its really her." He could hear his mother repeat over and over again, but it sounded slightly detached. All he could hear was his imouto's scream of pain… he had been so scared at that moment, so afraid that she had died.
And those last words she said to him repeated over and over again, driving him insane with regret and anger, 'The two people I love most… will end up killing each other'
Tai could honestly say, he was emotionally drained. It pained him so much to think of the punishment his little sister would get for loving a villain Ishida. Banishment? Exile? Death? All these were options, his father certainly wouldn't be happy about it. Would he disown his only daughter after just finding her?
Once again, that vile Ishida Takeru had ruined things again. Made it that much harder for everything to be alright in the world.
Taichi clenched his fist… he would get revenge, if it was the last thing he was to ever do, he would make those Ishida's pay.
"Tai?"
He looked up at his mother, eyes brimming with sadness. She could tell he was blaming himself for what happened.
His father stepped foreward. "I think you owe us an explanation."
Tai's voiced cracked a bit. "Onegai, please, Father, I don't want to relive those moments just yet, not this soon. Please."
His father was about to reply, when his mother stepped in.
"Its alright, Tai." She whispered. "You can tell us when you're ready. How about you go and get some rest, from the looks of it you haven't slept in days. We'll arouse you if anything changes in her condition."
"Demo…but…"
"Iie, just rest for a while, Taichi." His mother ordered. "Then you can watch over your little sister properly.
Tai looked at his father, who nodded, and then slowly walked to his room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Suddenly she stopped running, a calm serenity seemed to surround her entire being, and bathed her with a soft golden light.
She could make out someone, far off in the distance, his back turned to her.
"Hello?" she called out to him. She felt sure he could help her. "Please, I don't know where I am, or anything much. Please, can you help me?"
She felt as if she knew him, she recognized him. She realised that the golden light came from him, looking at the boy, the way the light seemed to dance around his being, it made him look like an angel. His blonde hair was swaying with the wind. The whole picture seemed too surreal. They were standing in a vacuum.
How could there be wind in a vacuum?
The silence seemed to last for eternity, suddenly all the emotions that she had been pushing down for so long overflowed as she dropped to her knees, crying softly.
"Don't Cry," she heard a voice, she looked up, realising it was the boy who spoke, yet he was so far away! How? His voice seemed to echo sweetly around her head, the comforting words repeating again and again.
"You must believe in who you are…" He continued mysteriously.
She hiccupped as she cried. "B-But, but I don't, I don't know."
"Then trust your heart; it is the only one that doesn't lie."
For some reason, that made sense to her as she rubbed her eyes and looked up, her crimson eyes slowly gaining more depth.
"My…heart…"
And then the blackness seemed to swirl around her, as the boy shimmered out of view. With sadness she wished she had asked for his name, or at least looked at his face.
Her angels face.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The young Kamiya Prince tiptoed out of the room, softly closing the door to the healing room behind him, and turned to face his parents. He had an uneasy look on his face.
"How Tai? Where has she been all this time?" His mother broke the uneasy silence that Tai seemed to be basking in it.
Suddenly, a determined look came over his face; he knew what to do. "she.. well…" he stuttered; his heart knew this was wrong. "She was a slave…"
He avoided all eye contact, either staring at the wall, or glaring at the floor, and he let his whole being get lost in angry words that he had wanted say ever since re-meeting the youngest Ishida. He didn't want to see his parents faces.
"They treated her horribly, when I first found her she was in terrible condition… She had been beaten for years, but still…"
"that's not the worst…" he paused, his conscience nagging in his head, but hate overpowered conscience and he continued.
"She was an Ishida slave"
As Taichi said this he looked to the floor. 'I did the right thing' he thought selfishly to himself. 'I just don't want her to be hurt, or to hurt anyone else. Its much better this way.'
He heard his mothers anguished sob, and his father gasp, before letting out an outraged cry.
"I've had enough!" The king of Kamiya said. "Malcolm Ishida will NOT get away with this, nor will his insolent brats either… I will make them, make him pay, in the worst way possible."
A servant softly creaked open the door, at the worst possible time.
"What?" the king snapped.
The servant cringed. "My apologies, my lord, but the master healer sent me, he says that she is waking."
Taichi's eyes widened, and he raced out of the room, and ran down the hallways, closely followed by his father.
His mother however, stayed in the room; to startled to leave the room, she was so confused, so sad.
'Oh Nancy,' She thought miserably to the departed Ishida Queen. 'I tried so hard to keep the pact… I don't understand how this could have happened to your little boys…'
'I suppose the same thing that happened to my boy.'
She became overcome with the memories of just after her childhood friend, Nancy Ishida, had died giving birth to her beautiful boy. Ever since they were children they had decided that their children would be the best of friends…and she had tried so hard to keep them meeting, get rid of the hatred that Tai was starting to feel for his best friends youngest… but no matter how hard she tried, it seemed hopeless.
She stood up, getting the adorable baby blonde boy out of her head. She didn't understand how something so innocent could be corrupted to do such horrible things, and felt there was something not quite right about Tai's words. Yet now was not the time to be thinking such things… this was a time for her daughter, to get rid of the nightmares that had been haunting her for the past 7yrs, and turn her back into the inquisitive princess she knew.
Slowly she walked out the door, and into the healing room, where her daughter was indeed stirring.
"Try talking to her," the master healer encouraged Tai "She can hear you, even though she's still asleep. A familiar voice may be all she needs to come back to the world of the living."
Tai nodded, and leant over his little sisters bed…
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Everything was blurred at first, as she blinked her eyelids, trying to get the picture in focus. She could make out three heads, but couldn't see the detail.
"Hikari?" a nervous voice questioned. "Kari? Are you all right." Taichi had a horrible feeling that she would mistake him for a certain other person, namely Takeru.
He was just about to tell her who he was when her weak voice responded, her eyes focused on him.
"Who… Who… are you?" She questioned softly.
He heard his parents gasp, and he looked at her; confused.
"Its me," He said, "Your brother, Mum and Dad are here to, Kari."
"Kari…" she whispered softly, as if she heard her name for the first time.
"Don't you remember Hikari?"
…
All there was was silence, as everyone present held their breath.
…
"Don't you remember anything?"
The silence made a music of its own as the weak voice responded. "I … don't…"
Taichi pushed a piece of his sisters hair back behind her head… "Don't worry, imouto-chan, It's only temporary." He whispered to her… "you're back at the castle now, you're home, and that's all that matters."
Kari heard that voice- her brother- talk to her, but it sounded distorted and so far away. All she could hear was the pounding, the endless pounding coming from inside her head; and that strange boy that was locked in her mind with her; she couldn't make sense of his words.
And all she felt was the aching pounding as her vision slowly died as she drifted off into sleep.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Takeru wasn't sure how he did it, how he willed his legs to move, to run so far away from the girl he loved, leaving her with his supposed greatest enemy. He could feel the blood coming out of the wound on his throat, yet he wouldn't stop. No, not until he was far enough away from these cursed woods. Not until he could make sure he wouldn't turn back around grab Kari up in his arms and plead with her to drop all her names, to destroy her birthright, as he would for her, and become his princess, and not the princess of a Kamiya King and Queen.
He was just being selfish, this he knew, and that is why he hated it… it was a weakness, and terrible of him. Yet Kari was the only light in his bleak world…. What would he do if that light were extinguished? How would he live?
Once again, he was being selfish. He had just given her the gift she had always wanted- Parents. But still, the further away he ran from her, the more his heart filled with dread, and sadness. Something was going to go wrong… he could feel it in the air.
He shook his head and looked around, realising how far he had already run. He was close to the edge of the woods now, and had been running for some amount of hours, as the sun had been gone from the sky for quite a while, and the moon was high with its stars shining down brightly.
Looking around the clearing he decided this place was as good as any place round here to set up a camp.
He tended to his wound, which luckily had not hit any arteries or veins, so wasn't too bad, and lay down to sleep. If possible he wanted to get home by this time tomorrow.
But from the moment his eyes closed, he knew something was going wrong with Hikari. He tossed and turned and watched as her body crumpled to the ground, unmoving.
'Please Hikari' He thought as he slept, 'Trust your heart; it is the only one that doesn't lie.'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"ONII-CHAN!" The princess screamed; she had made a wonderful, speedy recovery, and it was now a week after the accident. She had been let out of her room 2 mornings ago, and only had to go back to the healing room once a day for the next month for a check up on any infection.
After successfully beating up her brother, the princess sat down on her bed and sighed, she held her head within her hands, and looked down at her floor.
'They said it was only temporary…' She thought sadly.
Her brother walked into the room, her room, noticing the position his little sister was in, sat down next to her.
"Hikari?" Taichi asked, "Is everything alright?"
Hikari put on a small smile, "sure, Tai, everythings fine."
Her brother gave her a look that showed her that he wasn't going to believe that excuse.
The younger girl sighed deeply. "Its just that, I was hoping I would have some memories by now." Crystal tears started flowing down her cheeks. "The healer said it would only be temporary, and that the more I see of familiar things, the more that will come back. Its like I'm missing a whole part of my life, Tai."
"Oh Hikari," Tai said. "I thought you said you had got some memories back."
"I expected them to be more recent. The only ones I have are when I'm a child, and still, they are rather blurry. There is this big black hole in my life, and I just want to fill it!" she said, her emotions taking over as she continued in a distressed manner.
"Why would those memories come back first Tai, why? Why?"
She rested her head between her hands once more, and let the tears fall down. "I just don't understand."
There was silence for a while, as Tai gently rubbed his sisters back as she cried.
"I think its better that way," Tai began cautiously.
Hikari's head snapped up, "Wha-?" she started, staring at Tai, who wouldn't meet her eye.
Suddenly it clicked.
"I haven't been here for an amount of time, have I Tai?"
All he had to do was look at her, and she knew it was true.
He looked back to the ground, "I… I lost you Kari," he started, his voice breaking, "In one of the battles, I lost you."
"When?" she asked, "How?"
"It was 7yrs ago now, during a battle against our most hated enemy."
"We were young, and, therefore Targets. I watched as you were taken, and beaten, and then they took you away, and left me alone."
"They made you watch?" she asked, horrified.
"These people, Kari, they don't have hearts, they just do as they are told and take pleasure in the pain of others. The more it hurts, the better it is for them."
"I would prefer it if you didn't have memories of all those haunted years. When I found you, you were in such terrible condition. You had re-made bloody scars covering your back, and were covered in so much blood I couldn't recognise you. I watched as one of the Royal family, the worst of the worst, gave you that head wound that causes all your pain right now."
Kari now had tears streaming down her face, as Tai continued. "That was it for me, I couldn't just watch like I had so many years ago, so when they were swapping guards, I saved you."
"It was then, after all those years, I realised who you were. That you were my little sister, the lost princess of Kamiya. You were in so much pain, I was afraid you wouldn't make it, but you did, and I thank the gods every day that you survived that terrible ordeal."
"Oh Tai," she said softly. 'How could anyone be that heartless? It doesn't seem humanly possible'
"Its alright, look at me, I'm fine." She said softly, "and you, you saved me."
Tai didn't answer.
"Onii-chan?"
She was startled when her brother broke out in anguished anger,
"But who knows what you went through before I was able to save you. Ever since I lost you, I vowed that I would make them pay… I would destroy those vile Ishidas, and that youngest brat… I want to get revenge for what they put you through, for what they did to our family."
Hikari smiled, trying to calm her brother. "and you will" she said, "One day you and father will go into battle, and you will prevail, if you are fighting for what is right, then nothing can go wrong."
Tai nodded, looking into his sisters eyes "You're right." He said softly, "I'm sorry."
Kari shrugged her shoulders, and the siblings sat in silence for a while, until Tai got up.
"I better be going now, Hikari, are you all ready for your first lessons tomorrow?"
"Hai, Taichi, I think so."
Smiling, he ruffled her hair just like he used to when they were younger. "I'm really glad that you're back Kari." He said.
"Me too," she replied smiling, as she tried to put her hair back in place, "But don't you ever touch my hair again."
Tai laughed, "I'll try and remember that!" he said as he walked out the door.

The Next Day
"Now," The teacher looked at Hikari, "What do you know about the war?"
Hikari smiled. "The war is between the Ishida's and the Kamiyas." She started, the smile on her face wavering slightly, though she didn't know why. "It started 13 years ago, and has continued for every day since."
The teacher nodded, "That is partly correct, the war is between those two families, it didn't start 13yrs ago though, that is merely one stage of a feud that has been going on for ages. I'm not sure if they even know the reason, but there has just always been animosity between the two countries. Do you know the reason for this stage of the war?"
Hikari's brows furrowed in puzzlement, "Um… something to do with 'That vile youngest Ishida,' At least out of Onii-chans mouth."
"Yes, Vile is a good word to describe him, all Kamiya's hate Ishida Takeru with a passion, although no one as much as your brother."
"Hate is a very strong word, is it not?" Hikari started 'why I am I defending him??'
"Trust me, Takeru Ishida and his brother are the worst of the worst,"
The teacher continued.
'Takeru,' Kari thought. 'Cute name…' her eyes widened 'ok, where did that come from?'
"Is something wrong Kari?"
"No, no, its nothing' she replied, a pain in her heart.
"I would have expected more animosity between you and the Ishidas," the teacher says, "Especially seeing as they gave you all those scars that decorate you. They were the reason that you were taken away, and therefore deserve the hate of all Kamiyas, especially you and the rest of the Royal family."
Hikari pushed down the wild raging emotions of confusion and panic, and only focused on what her brother was telling her yesterday, of how they treated both of them, and how much they hurt her and her family.
She looked up at the teacher, her usually warm crimson eyes stone cold. "If they are the reason then I bear them nothing but hatred, for it is all that they deserve…"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Takeru pulled softly on the reigns of his newly bought horse and came to a halt, just as his kingdom came into view.
"Finally," he said softly, patting his horse's neck. "Home."
He trotted up the familiar path, through the towns, before cantering up the hill to the castle.
"T.K!" he heard a familiar voice, as he dismounted. "What took you so long, squirt?" The figure ruffled his hair in a brotherly fashion, and Takeru smiled up at Yamato.
"Oh this and that," he said, "But now I have to go to father."
Matt started checking his brother over for injuries, his eyes staying on red scar on his brothers neck, it took a second for what his little brother had said to register.
"What!? Already? Ototo-chan, it can wait, you know father, he'll be-"
"In a right rage, I know onii-chan, but I can look after myself. I'm 13 you know."
"Famous last words." Yamato muttered.
Takeru gave his brother a long suffering smile. "I'll tell you everything afterwards, oh, and you're old best friend is fine and healthy! Trust me, I know."
'My old best- what?' Yamato thought. "TAKERU ISHIDA!"
But his little brother was already long gone.
'That attitude of his is going to get him in serious trouble some day.' Yamato smirked proudly, knowing that obviously his little brother had met up with Taichi Kamiya, and had come out on top.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Kings eyes narrowed as he watched his youngest come through the door of the throne room. He looked ragged, emotionally drained, and had a few bruises and cuts, but otherwise he seemed perfectly fine.
This wasn't meant to happen.
"What?" The King asked sharply, his irritation getting the better of him. "How? Why? Why are you back here?"
"I would talk with you, father. Please…"
There was a long, awkward silence.
The King grunted. "Well if you are going to talk, get on with it… my patience thins every time I see you boy."
Takeru looked flustered, and slightly offended, "Father, please don't hate me… don't hate me for something I couldn't control. I would trade my life for mothers any day, yet fate will not allow it. I do not mean to hurt you in any way. I am your son, would mother…" He had grown louder and more emotional as the speech went on, and tears were glistening in his eyes. He looked up sharply as Malcolm Ishida's voice cut in.
"Do not talk so casually about someone when your existence caused their downfall." The king sneered, loudly, glaring at his son.
A singe tear slowly fell unwillingly down his cheek, and the King looked disgusted.
"Tears and emotions show only the weakness in you."
Takerus' hand clenched and his voice contained barely contained power and strength, "No," he said, and looked up to his father with a new light in his eyes. "Tears show many things in a person, but they do not show weakness, they show compassion, love, anything, but not weakness."
And with one last glare at his father, he stormed out of the throne room, a determined look on his face, leaving behind a flustered King.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hikari sat down on her bed, fingering the piece of paper and quill she had received in her last lesson. In the last week she had improved a great deal in many aspects, yet still she felt like she was missing something. It didn't seem right, the way she was living, her supposed 'beliefs'… She decided that no matter what the situation, she would always feel this way. This was her life, this was her home, and the so the practices of this castle and kingdom were also hers.
She stared at the piece of paper, twirling the beautiful quill in he fingers as she suddenly remembered something.
It was the first dream she had had, while in a coma, of her angel. She remembered the sound of his voice, so sweet, innocent and wise all at the same time… and she remembered what he said to her…
She wondered to herself whether she would ever hear his voice again…
Smiling the happiest smile she had all week, she dipped her quill into the ink, and in beautiful flowing writing that she never knew she could do she wrote;
'You must believe in who you are and Trust your heart; it is the only one that doesn't lie.'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sweat glistened on the youngest Ishida's brow as he concentrated deeply, his sword slicing through the air; attacking it with vicious intents.
Up, down, across, left diagonal sweep, duck, up, down, across.
He concentrated hard, never letting his moves falter and continued his practice.
High arc, twist, side step, cut left, up, down, across.
In the doorway, his older brother Yamato sighed. He had been overjoyed when his little brother had arrived back home safely and was deeply distressed when he had heard of his close encounter with the Kamiya Prince.
His father was anything but… It seemed he was almost disappointed with Takeru for not dieing out there.
Yet that didn't stop Takeru; ever since his meeting with Taichi and letting go of Hikari all he had done was practice with his sword. Whether it was for his fathers recognition, or to beat Tai; Yamato had no idea, but his brother was dedicated and it seemed to be all he was doing nowadays.
"Keru?" he questioned, watching his brother startle and look up at him.
"Hai, Onii-chan?"
"Come, have a break, you've been working far too hard."
"Iie, Mato.." the younger boy said. "I'm fine."
"Well at least let me help you- the air doesn't seem to retaliate very well." Yamato smiled, grabbing his own sword.
Takeru chuckled, a smile breaking through his tough façade and nodded to his brother, and as the sun slowly went down, giving the two princes an ethereal quality, the metal of swords clashed, as they began to spar.

tabbycat411: I don't think I'm that good, thanks!
Kaze ookami: Thanks! I tried to make that scene as sweet as possible, since it was the last time they'd be together for a while… You're right about the running thing too, when I was planning the chapter I was always going to extend on that part, but when I wrote it it just didn't happen. Thanks heaps!
Takari4Ever: Yeh, I noticed that in this chapter, and tried to fix it, it just happens, you know? Anyways, about the light thingy, I had an idea for it, but I'm not sure if I'll use it now, I'm sure I'll find something for it too do soon, anyways… Thanks a lot for the review!
Heero T Himura: Really? Was it that bad? I'm sorry I didn't write for so long, but trust me, I have no intention of stopping, there are only about 5 chapters left anyways! (And then I have an idea for a sequel, although I'm not sure if ill use it or not) Thanks!

Authors note:
O MY GOSH! THAT TOOK SOOO LOONG! IM SO GLAD I FINALLY FINISHED IT FOR YOU GUYS… and look- no ciffie and 20pgs!
Im really really really really really really really really really sorry, that took like four months, but with Yr 9 taking its toll on me, and still being blocked… oh yeah, and then 2 weeks ago, I was about to finish it, when, what do you know, I broke my finger… it was just really really hard for me to update, and continue writing,
Which brings me to my next point.I really don't want you guys to have to wait that long ever again, and so I have a few ideas that you can vote on.
1. During the holidays I finish the story, and then when I get back to school, you can have a chapter every 2 days.
2. I write a chapter ahead, so if it starts looking really bad, I can always just give you guys an extra chapter as I finish the next one and continue giving you guys a chapter every 2 weeks. (which is my supposed deadline)
3. Just continue writing like this, I mean, its never been this bad before, and it shouldn't happen again.
I reckon no1 or 2 would work best, cause I really don't want this to happen again, and doing no1 would work well for me, as I have my end of yr exams in about 2 months (which are really important, you know, I want good classes in yr 10, so already finishing the story would be good for me)
Er… i played (field) hockey yesterday- v. dangerous when both sides want to win semi's really badly. I got hit on the head twice with a hockey stick, and played the rest of the game with a mild concussion, and then fell over, got hit on my arm, on both my legs, on my other arm… and in the end we didn't win, we drew 2-2 and the other team won on points… but I got the 2 goals!
I practically collapsed off the field. (Which is understandable)
I woke up this morning feeling very crippled.
Anyways, I hope this chapter didn't disappoint you; I tried to leave it on a happier note…
Anyway Please Review!
Love ya lots, (according to the votes, the chapter will come either at the beginning of next term, or in about 2 weeks)
Em
