Oh. My. Gosh. I just reilized I can type in study hall. Though I have to ask of you guys, my loyal reviewers, my fellow waffle friends, do me the favor of NOT REVIEWING UNTIL THE STORY IS OVER. That would help me out so much. do you think you can do that? Thank you!
Okay okay well I have so much planned for this story! Stuff happens to Otaki, stuff happens to Jin, stuff happens that affects everybody and I've been thinking...and something...something horrible is going to happen. I've decided on it and yes...it will happen...wooha...

" " Ahem...anyway, back to the story!
Jin fumbled with her hair. She was sitting by the moon plant with Pig, glaring out at the water that rolled back and forth. For a six year old her mind was very mature. She would sit and just think, yet everyone would never believe that for she was Jin, daughter of Kaori. Jin groaned angrily and threw a small pebble into the water.
"Everyone thinks I'm crazy Pig," she mumbled between her teeth.
Pig cocked her head and made a squeaking sound in reply. Jin glared at the small creature.
"I'm not crazy Pig! I really can see people and hear them, too! Daddy doesn't believe me... Heero doesn't believe me... Do you believe me?"
The squirrel looked away at the water and stood on it's back legs. Jin sighed loudly.
"Of course you don't. Daddy is makin' me go to the same therapist that Heero goes to. He thinks there's something wrong with me too."
She rolled onto her back and stared at the sky.
"There's not Pig. There's nothin' wrong with me at all. I can see them. I can hear them loud as Heero when he's angry. If Daddy says I'm crazy..." She sat up with an idea "Then I'll show him crazy..."
Laughing to herself she picked up Pig and ran off into the woods.

"So tell me the news..."
"What do I get?"
"What I always give you,"
"The price has risen deary,"
"Fine then,"
Felice shoved ten coins into the servants hand. He was a rusty man, intent on getting his way. Yet somehow he knew everything to know about the ship and who was on it. He also knew everything that was going to happen. Everything Zhao was planning. That was something Felice had to know.
Ever snice she turned 18 she had kept a record to herself. How many times she could defy Zhao and get away with it. Aiden was one, sneaking off the the library was two, and meeting was this servant was three. Not a very good record but she was standing on her own two feet at least.
"Alright then lady, I hear from the walls that there's gonna be a kidnappin'. Sometime soon, too," the man said fingering his coins greedily.
"Who? Who's going to get kidnapped?" Felice asked lowering her voice slightly as people passed by.
"I dunno, but soon, very soon," the man replied.
"Thank you for your service,"
The man grinned cockily.
"No, no, no, thank you," he said looking her over.
Felice slapped him hard, slamming him into the wall, then she walked off humming a tune to herself.

"Jin?"
Zuko was worried. Jin was never away this long. She would usually go away then appear before them right when they didn't need her to. Now...
"Jin?"
"I know where she is,"
Zuko turned around to face Heero.
"Where?"
Heero motioned towards a mountain.
"She's at the old bridge. Told me to come and get you. I don't know what the freaking girl is up to, but it's probably one of her shitty ideas," he replied shrugging.
Zuko was so perplexed he forgot about Heero cursing. Jin? At the bridge? He knew she wasn't happy about going to therapy but she was getting out of hand. She couldn't see people, it was just something six year olds would do. Like imaginary friends or something. She wouldn't though...no, no,no, she was six for god's sake! She would not commit suicide!
"Hi, daddy!" Jin squealed happily.
She was standing in the middle of the bridge looking out at the water. Over the years the rushing river had turned into a peaceful stream.
"Jin!" Zuko yelled, "Get down from there now!"
"Nope! You think I'm crazy! If you want crazy," She paused and looked at him. Zuko froze because for a second he swore he saw Kaori standing there smirking. "I'll give you crazy!"
And with that, she jumped into the stream.

Jin felt the water bite her lungs and pierce them. It was cold and like knives. Why again had she jumped in? Oh yes, because everyone called her crazy. If they thought she was crazy then she might as well do something crazy. Her head hurt though and everything underwater looked fuzzy. Suddenly she felt hands around her waist and her head came above the water, gasping for breath. She felt sand beneath her feet.
"Jin! What were you thinking? You could have been killed!" Zuko exclaimed tapping the sides of her cheeks to open her eyes.
"You...cough thought I was cough crazy," Jin stuttered spitting out water.
"Jin..." Zuko groaned.
"You didn't believe me. I was telling the truth,"
"Jin, it's just that-"
"You don't think I can see them. I can daddy. I can,"
"Alright. I believe you. Just don't do anything like that again,"
Jin giggled.
"Okay daddy, I promise," she said laughing.
Heero rolled his eyes. Why did his sister have to be such a retard?

Felice walked down the halls of the boat. She had training to get to. Today was her test day. A day where Zhao, her master, would bring 25 of the strongest men to fight her to the death. Of course...she never died...
Aiden followed close on her heels. She had no idea that he was there. His curiosity had finally gotten the best of him. He knew that Felice did horrible things but that was all he knew. He never quite knew what. Now...now was the day he would find out.
When he followed her to the dock he hid behind a pole. 25 men? They stood carring weapons and armor. What was going on? Felice didn't have any weapons or armor in that fact.
"Ready...BEGIN," Zhao shouted.
Aiden almost screamed.
