CHAP 3

Hana started to tell them their story…

"Before sending us here, Rika and I lived a peaceful life with out parents in our secluded little village…I can remember it like it was just yesterday…" Hana told them then began to narrate the whole story

Hana's story

"Sister! Hurry up!" Rika shouted happily

"I'm coming! Wait up Rika!" Hana shouted after her sister who was running towards the woods

Hana ran after Rika and then finally caught up with her when they reached a clearing…She jumped on Rika and they both fell to the ground laughing…

"Aiko!" Rika shouted

"Naruko!" Hana shouted

Their voices echoed through the clearing...Then suddenly a small white dragon flew over their heads and Rika sat up and let it land on her head…

"Aiko…get down from there…" Rika told the dragon with a giggle

The dragon flew down to her lap and gave a soft cry as it looked happily at Rika…She stroked the dragon's head and looked happily at Hana who was still lying down on the ground…Hana looked at Rika and smiled then sat up…as she sat up something from behind her jumped on her back…

"Naruko!" Hana said happily as she got the fox-like puppy from behind her

"Naruko loves to surprise you doesn't he?" Rika said happily as she petted the fox-like puppy

"Yeah…you mischievous little ninetails…" Hana said with a giggle as she hugged it tight

Hours passed and they finally decided to go back home…that night they were attacked by some other ninjas that resented their clan…

"Hana, take your sister and run to the woods!" their father ordered Hana

"But dad we can't leave you here!" Rika retorted

"Go! You mother is waiting there! Go now!" their father said and ran to the battlefield

"Rika let's go!" Hana told Rika as she grabbed Rika's hand and ran

"Dad! I won't leave you!" Rika shouted as she squirmed and finally broke free of her sister's grip

"Rika!" Hana shouted

Rika ran back to the village but Hana caught her…they saw their father but they were devastated at what they saw…their father had his head cut off right before their very eyes…

"DAD!" Rika shouted as she began to cry

"Rika let's move!" Hana told Rika

"No! Dad!" Rika shouted all the more

All Hana could do was carry Rika away while she cried…when they reached the clearing, they saw their mother…Hana let Rika down and she fell to her knees and cried…Rika on the other hand ran to her mother and cried as well…

"Mom!" Rika cried

"There, there…" their mom told Rika in hopes she'd be able to comfort her but she could not hide her own tears

"Mom…they killed him…they killed dad…" Rika told their mother while still in tears

All they could do was cry…then they heard the sound of ninjas…they have been followed into the woods…the ninjas found them and Hana and Rika stood up bravely to face them…

"You…you guys killed my dad!" Rika shouted

"We'll never forgive you!" Hana joined in

A dazzling light blinded the ninjas for a moment, as Rika and Hana were both emitting strong auras…Hana and Rika fought them until they reached their limits…when they were both out of energy, their mother rushed to their side…more ninjas were coming…their pets Aiko and Naruko both tried their best to protect them but alas…they were killed as well…

"No! Aiko!" Rika shouted

"Naruko!" Hana shouted as well

They were both so tired they didn't have the strength to stand up…so their mother did the only thing she could think of…she used a forbidden time travel spell that when used, the caster will die…

"Good bye my children…" their mother said as tears rolled down her cheeks and pushed Hana and Rika in the portal and closed it

The end of the story

"And that's it…the next thing I knew I was in a room and all my wounds had been bandaged…I then found out that I was in Firion-sama's house…he took me in and cared for me…he treated me like his own daughter…but as soon as I was fully healed I couldn't stand it anymore…I told myself that I had to find Rika…it took me a long time to find her…" Hana finished

"But now that you found her…there's no way she'd remember you…" Max said sadly

"What do you mean?" Hana asked them

They all looked sadly at one another then told Hana about Rika's predicament…

"She has amnesia? No way…" Hana said as tears rolled down her cheeks

"Hana…" Ira said with concern

"After all this time…I thought I'd finally get to hug her again…I thought I'd finally be able to take her back…but I was wrong…" Hana said as she started to cry

Shadow hugged Hana and wiped her tears…

"I know how you must feel, Hana…" Shadow said sympathetically

Everyone was silent…then Ira suddenly broke the silence…

"Hey I know!" she said

Everyone looked at her with a question on his or her mind…

"What's up Ira?" Lorkan asked her

"I just had an idea…on how Hana could get close to Rika…" Ira told them

"How? She's going to freak when we tell her that Hana is her sister and that Dylan really isn't her father…" Recca told her

"We're not going to tell her about that…" Ira told them

Ira all told them of her plan…that surprised Dylan and Hana, a lot…they looked at one another and blushed…

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Dylan told her while he was still blushing
