I was sO busy doing my stuff, and I've to get ready with my Cinderella play this Thursday! And I've a new story about Cardcaptor Sakura, soif you want to read it, read it and review it or otherwise don't. Anyway, I wasn't that satisfied with the number of reviews...but nevermind .I've no idea what title to put on this story and suddenly when that 'Mr. Lonely' song (of course, this is Akon's song) got into my head, I just blindly wrote the title. Okay, I'll quit the talking and reply to my dearest and most precious reviewers :3
To Forbidden.Heartz : Thank you for your review! I too support the darkness and I wanted a tragic ending for Toya and Aya. MUAHAHAHAHA!(evil laugh) Oh...but okay! I'll see about that! Making a good ending wasn't actually my idea but...I'll think about it!
To gunz : Okay! 'Good'! Well, good...I'll think of something good in this story...and my exam ended fast because of my country exam and so they didn't test those core subjects that had already happened in the country exam. Thanks for the review!

And now...enough of talking and enjoy the story!
Chapter 6:Lonely
Aya found herself in an absolute empty world. She was feeling really uneasy, as though something was tearing her apart. She felt as though that the world has came to the end, the pain that was so unbearable that Aya could not even hold for long. And she knew, anytime, she would be on her way to heaven.
"AYA! HOLD YOURSELF! YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAN'T LET IT GO JUST LIKE THAT! WHERE'S THAT STRONG AND BRAVE AYA IN YOU?" a voice boomed from above. Aya was almost too weak to speak.
"I-I can't hold anymore…" her voice trembled. But the voice from above kept giving more encouragement to her.
"YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO DIE! DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AGAIN?" the voice shouted at Aya. Aya recalled back the memories of she with all her friends together…her family…or she should say her uncle's family…the challenges they face together…the horror…the laughter…memories of joy and tearful days…these memories are so priceless…no…she can't lose them…she still need to have more memories in her…she must not die…
"Okay, it's almost near to death for her…" Kagami smiled. The blonde hair guy called Alex (somebody tell me whether is it Alex? I haven't watch ANC for a long time!) pitied Aya. He, of course, had no intention to hurt such an innocent girl but since he was tricked to work with Kagami, (which, particularly, is not the original thing from the real ANC show) he just had to obey Kagami's arrogant orders.
CRASH! Miyuri quickly turned back and used her thin and elegant looking sword trying to hurt the intruder that crashed into the experiment room. Tooya and Yuuhi were facing their back to each other.
"What weapon do you have, Mr. Showoff?" Yuuhi bragged. Something appeared from Tooya's wrist, a middle-curved up sword. Yuuhi laughed a little.
"Ha! Still my sword is better than you!" as Yuuhi took out a sword normally used for samurais. (Err…I know I have quite little general knowledge…what is this sword called anyway?) But Miyuri was already ready and strike on not Yuuhi, but the sword.
"You guys over there, help me out or leave!" The brunette hair girl shouted over her shoulder. Neither Kagami or Alex was brave enough to fight and so they left.
"Cowards," she whispered in a soft voice. Yuuhi found it unbelievable that now, he had no weapon. But he still didn't give up. Tooya was already having difficulty facing Miyuri.
"Okay! Time for illusion!" And Miyuri disappears. Yuuhi wasn't aware what was happening around because he was trying to look for a weapon. The whole scenery was changed into a house scenery with furniture and a lot of household things. Not knowingly, the smart and evil Miyuri was now behind his back. Tooya, of course, with his sharp hearing could here her walking slowly to Yuuhi.
"Strike," Tooya said and as quick as lightning he strike on something that was invisible. But the sharp cry was heard from the invisible thing.
The illusion disappeared and Tooya saw a star on where he strike Miyuri. The star had a symbol of the mana. Tooya picked it up gently.
"Huh? What happened?" said Yuuhi. He was so blur that when he was looking for the weapon, he didn't know that the scenery had change because he was just too busy to find a weapon.
"You are so dumb," Tooya spoke to Yuuhi. Suddenly, both of them remembered about Aya and shouted "AYA!" They quickly rushed down and saw a quite lifeless body on the experiment bed. Yuuhi was too worried about the schoolgirl and accidentally knocked Tooya. The star in his hand fell and dropped onto Aya.
A bright light shone on Aya's chest as she absorbed the star. Aya coughed a little but was only half-conscious. Yuuhi quickly loosen the straps around the goddess and carried her but Tooya stopped his teammate from doing it.
"No, let me do the job. After all, I'm staying with her," Tooya said in a calm voice. Yuuhi was green in envy. Why does Tooya get all the advantages and benefits? The golden brown hair guy questioned himself.
Aya's POV
Ergh…I feel so weak…and how my back ache…owww…
Okay, now where is this place? Wait…this is familiar…my room! I thought the last time I saw myself was in the lab…Was I dreaming? No…I… don't want to think about that.
I got out of the room when I suddenly recalled back what Ceres had told me
Your father had the same hair colour as his brother, Aki and you…the family you live now is not your real family but your uncle's family…
Those words rang in my head. It seems like forever… I just had to let it out! It is so torturing! Where's Aki? I need to tell him! This is really urgent!
End of POV
"AKI!" Aya yelled as she stomped down the stairs and ran into the kitchen. All of a sudden, her look-a-like twin brother surprised Aya with a plate of cookies.
"What's in the rush, sis? Did you somehow smelt the fragrance of these cookies?" Aki smiled. Aya just stared at him.
"We need to talk," Aya answered seriously. She quickly dragged him into her room.
"Look," as Aya make sure nobody's outside and closed the door behind her "this is really something serious and when I speak don't interrupt." Aki was confused. Aya took a deep breath and mumbled "Here we go!"
"I…umm…please don't think I'm crazy but…"Aya couldn't bring herself out. Aki was very attentive to what Aya was speaking. He'll do anything to help his sister.
"Well…I found out that you…and me… we're not suppose to be together," she said weakly. Aki didn't understood what she meant.
"What are you talking about Aya-chan? Of course, everybody knows we're brother and sister not girlfriend and boyfriend…"but Aya interrupted his talking.
"I told you not to interrupt. What I mean…is that…I'm notyoursisterandyourmotherandfatheraremyauntanduncle," Aya said in a fast tone. Aki was shock to hear that news and didn't believe every word she said.
"Where did you get that stupid information?" he asked sternly. He was thinking who told her this crappy news. His parents never told him the truth what had actually happen.
"We're of course born on the same day, month and year! We're a family!" he continued. Unexpectedly, Aya's real mother had actually given birth to her on the same month and year like Aki. But Aki and Aya are actually two weeks difference in age.
"I…someone…I only remember someone told me about it…I just can't remember who the person is," she cried trying to cover the secret she had recently found out. The secret is about the celestial being in her body.
"Okay, I need to get Dad here because what you said is ridiculous and I want the real truth from Dad and you because I care about you the most. And I don't want to have any misunderstandings around here," he said and ran upstairs to look for his father. Aya was upset. Now she realize her family she lives in now is not her own family, who could comfort her?
Chidori? Miori? Aya thought. They are her best friends. Can she tell them the truth and can they keep a secret and comfort her?
Aya picked up the telephone and dialed Chidori's handphone number. No answer. Aya tried many times but it was useless. And then she dialed her house's phone number. Same problem.
After a few attempts, she called Miori but all she could hear was:-
Hello, this is Miori. I'm busy at this moment so please leave your name and message after the tone. Bye! Beep
Aya sighed. That'll make her the most miserable day of her life. As she looked upstairs, she remembered something.
What about…
A/N: So everybody supported good? Then, okay! I'm a little tired now...it's 11pm here and I need to sleep cuz tomorrow there's school! And now... please read and review!
Preview from the next chapter
Aya and Aki sat at the back of the carbut they didn't face each other. Aya was so upset and scared while Aki was so angry and furious with everything. But his father was even worse. He didn't expect Aya to know it. How did she know this? his father thought. He was so furious until he heard Aya said "WATCH OUT!" And they saw two lights in front of them.
This is just a bonus dialogue which is out of this story(erm...actually, it is much related to the next chapter):-
Aya: Tooya! Don't leave me! (crying)
Tooya: Sorry...I have to go back to China tomorrow.
Yuuhi: (pops out) Yeh! Tooya leaves! Aya, since this guy is leaving...will you love me?
Akira, Tooya and Aya: Stupid! Who asked you to pop out in this scene!
Akira: Cut! Erghh...troublesome Yuuhi...one, two, three...start the scene!
See you in the next chapter!
