Daisuke, his voice soft and gentle, answered. "Actually, Sarah was an amazing cook."

I appraised the soft look in his eyes, my own eyes gentled, and I watched as Daisuke began telling me his story. "She used to make the weirdest things out of what we passed while walking through the forest. Somehow she was able to tell which was edible and which was not. Ausrin and I always gave each troubled glances. When we watched her cook, saw how intent she was, she looked like a piece of art. Her face had a soft intelligence, that shown so swiftly. I couldn't help but stare at her as she worked through which of the foods had to be done this way, and that.

"Whenever she would finish, she'd walk into the tent with a tray sample of what she had made this time. She laughed when she saw our expressions when we looked at her cooking. But every time we tried it, it always ended up being amazing. She smiled and laughed a lot, so full of life. Every morning, when we'd wake, she'd be there, staring down on us. When we asked why she wasn't sleeping, she says she can't help but stare at us.

"Also, she admitted she didn't like to sleep. She said sleep was a distraction to her. Then, as usual, she'd smile her special smile and tell us to go back to sleeping. Sarah had beautiful silver eyes that glittered in the sun, her hair was a soft shade of navy blue. Her figure was as perfect as an angel, and her thoughts as gentle as a breeze. She was always excited about every passing day, trying new things. Sometimes, she'd go silent as she stared up at the trees covered with birds flying everywhere, and softly say 'One day, I want to be like those birds. As free as can be. Don't you think, Daisuke? Wouldn't you like to see how beautiful it is from up there?'

"The days trickled by, every moment so precious. Sarah's laugh never faded, her smiles never stopped. It felt like a dream. Though, I began to notice her looking at me in a different way. A more... thoughtful way. She'd always, whenever she looked my way, stare deep in thought. But when she'd notice that she was staring, she'd smile and blush." I noticed Ausrin had left, maybe being affected by the memories. Daisuke began again, using his hands to make the story more affective. "You see, what really made my heart sink whenever she'd give me such a look was that, as fate would have it, I didn't feel towards her in the same way.

"One day, when she once again made such a face, a noticed Ausrin staring. Then he'd look away in a flinch when he'd see her blush. At first, I had no idea why he'd do that, but one morning I woke and found him sitting next to her sleeping figure. Staring at her with such a look of longing, love, and passion. He really seemed to me such a sad man, lost to the reality of love." Daisuke looked distantly into his thoughts, trying not to forget anything.

"That same day, he confessed his love for her. She had looked hesitantly at me, and told me that she loved me. Then, just after she'd uttered those words-" Daisuke didn't get the chance to finish his sentence, because in just an insant, he was lifted off the air with a powerful hand. Apearently, the sudden movements has put out some of the fire. I stared in the dark, to make out who it was. Then red eyes flashed and I knew right away.

Ausrin.

In a voice, none other than an all consuming rage, Ausrin spoke up. "Shut up. How dare you even mention anything of this. Stop shaking, stop it. STOP IT. Listen to me, you will NOT dwell on the past, you will NOT ever again mention such a thought. Next time, you'll find yourself crawling into a grave. Understand?" Suddenly, blue eyes shown to test the red. Dasisuke's eyes reflected the rage within Ausrin. He lifted his hand, holding tight to the grip Ausrin had around his neck.

Teeth gritted, Daisuke twisted Ausrin's hand around with such force, i felt ripples of gravity being interupted. Ausrin made no attempt to comfort his bloody hand. The two stood, glaring either one down. It was Daisuke who calmed down first, the blue around settling around him to gentle swirls. In a deadly voice, Daisuke answered, "Of course."

Ausrin suddenly looked over at me, his rage settled and he finally realized what he had done. I was shaking, having fallen on my back when he had charged at Daisuke. He reached out a hand towards me, I crawled backwards, trying to avoid the red light shining visibly through his fingers. It looked like some deadly fire, and i doubted it was there for any other purpose. Even though the first had slightly faded, i was frightened, and didn't know what to do.

Daisuke attempted the same, but at the same time, i instinctively backed away. Daisuke sighed, glaring over at Ausrin, and walked away. Ausrin was left standing in front of me, his hand held out. I didn't know what to do, it was too overwelming. Until i saw Ausrin's eyes stare down at me seriously, full of what looked like confused thoughts. Finally, he spoke. "You're scared, aren't you? Frightened, grossed out?" When I only shook, Ausrin nodded knowingly. "We're not your enemies, you know. But we all have our secrets." He clenched his fist as he thought back to things i didn't know. "I don't apreciate it when one whom i trust dares to flash those secrets in front of others."

He stood and walked over to a tree, leaning against it was his hands, looking down. "Daisuke and me have multiple personalities, as you might have noticed. It is so, because those like us share our thoughts, doings, feelings... with our powers. As you can see, I have red, the sign of rage. As you might know, rage is when one has only one goal in sight, and all that gets in the way will suffer. While Daisuke has blue, the sign of cold calm. In this, he is able to think through the situation, and act wisely. You understand the personalities I have just discribed to you?"

I nodded, noticing that my breathing had slown down. He continued. "Our kind is what is called Sith. We have many more of us, back home. Each has its own personality, which acts in its own way. And Cagalli, you are one of them."


Ausrin

I'd expected her to burst out into tears from what i had told her, to react in some way, but she just stared at me with indifference. "Cagalli?" I asked, after a few moments of no reaction.

"Yeah?" She asked, still without any emotion. I stared at her, a little flustered.

"So... you're just going to exept it? Just like that?" She nodded, as if it was plain obvious. Maybe it was.

"Why would it matter what I said? Either way, it's not something i can change right out of the blue, you realize." I nodded, and held out a hand for her. She took it and stood. I noticed right away that this was her Sith showing through.

"So, your sith is green, huh?" I smiled, she seemed a little puzzled by the sudden notion. I gazed into the green that befell her eyes. For a moment, i could see into the the soul of her Sith. Behind the puzzled expression, I could see the Sith smiling brightly. It seem rather odd, though, that the Sith would be hiding. Was it something to do with Cagalli's emotions? Was something holding her back?

I decided to ignore it. Cagalli finally smiled as well, having calmed down a bit. "Green..." She said, almost to herself. She looked up once again and looked at me, "So, what does green stand for?" She said it in a voice that sounded almost teasingly.

I chuckled. Nodding, i began looking back in my studies from when i was young. " 'Green. One who has the odd touch of beauty, always willing to shine and call out to the world. Green is a sign for life. Do to that fact, one who is green has a special love for life." Cagalli remained silent. Though, after a while, the smile began to form again and she couldn't help but blush.

"Thanks..." She said, still a little quiet.

"So, should we be off to get Daisuke? I'd say he's waiting for us at this very moment." Cagalli nodded. Sometimes, I sighed, it's very hard to understand this girl. "Though, it's worth it." I said. When I saw Cagalli look up at me with a strange look, i noticed i'd said the last part aloud. "Oh, it's nothing! Haha..." She didn't seem very convinced, so i tried to change the subject. "So... should we be heading off?"

"Yeah. Knowing Daisuke, he'd be a little worried by now. I mean, the Sith fade eventually, right? The real Daisuke would be a little...confused. Well, you know what I mean. Let's get going, then."


I know it's a short little chapter, but i hope it's worth it! I just dont have much time an my hands to write lately. Hope you like it so far!
