All right a new update! I know I'm not tossing these out every day but a girl has to graduate! Besides I need to raise my GPA or I won't be able to receive the diploma I so rightfully deserve. I think once a week on weekends will suffice though, perhaps one during the week if I can squeeze it in. ENJOY!

"Shadi what exactly are the books those four girls have?" Isis asked when they thought Anielka wasn't listening. It was always hard to tell with the girl that seemed to be a living space cadet.
"They are ancient spell books, older than the millennium items themselves. They say that from a spell taken from one of them the items were created." Shadi said looking at Anielka who was looking out a window as they sat in an airplane headed for Japan. She had at least enough sense to dress normally, well after Marik and Bakura threatened her for two hours.
"How did they come into possession of them do you suppose?" Ryou asked since decided to be moody and lock himself in his spirit-room-place-thingy.
"They were given to us." Anielka said turning to Ryou ever so calmly.
"By who?" Marik asked a slight glare on his features.
"The person who owned them before us." The Russian said before slowly turning back to the window. "What a sad person she was, so full of sorrow and despair. Floating upon a river she couldn't control, wasting away in a hate she couldn't erase. She was all and yet she was none."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? She was all yet she was none? That doesn't make sense." Marik said with a frown wanting to shake the girl until she was fully in a conscious state. It was like she was walking in a haze all the time and it bothered him.
Shadi looked the girl over also frowning slightly before he had to ask, "How much do you know of the books?"
"Enough for me to know, not enough for me not to see. If you read to far into them they capture your mind forever, if you don't read them they seal your fate forever. The pull of the universe can be tipped to one side by just a grain of sand, yet it takes a grain of rice to right the wrongs and wrong the rights. Left becomes what is right, right becomes what is left, up and down switch positions. Gravity falls and falling pulls. There will be no forgiveness to those that own them, no salvation for their sins, for they become what they wish not to be, they must play a role in the world. We were not all insane, never would we have been like this hadn't things gone the way they had. Could fate be so cruel as to drive lost souls down destructive paths?" Anielka said still not looking at them just looking out at the window. She shook her head to clear some of the haze. "The four books represent the four directions and four elements. Red is fire the northern most power for the sun is at its most powerful when from above. Green is earth from the east where the new days begin and life is at its youngest. Blue, the southern most elements, is water for it is fire's opposite and coldest of all the elements. Finally yellow belongs to the wind and the west where souls use it to drift into the next life; upon the wind they float back to the east to be reborn. Such is the balance but once altered chaos is the only outcome."
"So if we use the books to separate the yamis from the hakaris will the balance be altered?" Isis asked slowly beginning to better understand how to follow Anielka's drifting thoughts.
"No, it will be restored. The reason for the books needing to be used to separate them was because what combined them once destroyed the balance of things, tilting power to one." Anielka said before going back into the sea of haze she was often in.
"You're a very unsettling person, you know that right?" Marik asked with a frown before deciding to drift off to sleep, the plane ride would be a long one anyway.
A black wolf followed the faint prints further into the woods. For each two feet it ran it gained another on its' prey. She could now smell familiar scents from around the surrounding area. The trees, rivers, earth, even the snow had its own unique aroma. However, the one she followed was much stronger, a musky smell that could only be related to humans. For a few hours now it ran fatigue always nipping at the edges of its' mind as if it were trying to seduce the poor animal into the darkness.
Shaking its' head the wolf pushed forward. She was on a mission herself. She knew she had only a limited amount of time before she could no longer track her prey the way she was. Time was always against her, always one step ahead of her. All her life she was trying to grasp those wasted minutes of time she seemed to loose. Mornings especially were her downfall. Even now time seemed to slip through her fingers, or in this case claws.
I have to win against time this time. Just this one time when my friends need me most, I need to win. I can't let such an elusive thing take hold, not this time. She thought as she ran harder. She could feel the air slowly becoming chiller, the air moister. There was something in the air as well, something she could sense but it too wouldn't let her be. It wasn't fear nor was it comfort. A cold emotion was lingering after her quarry and she wanted to know why. She knew it wasn't either of her friends; they weren't that cold.
The more she ran the more it became apparent that she'd soon pass out. She ignored this however knowing if she did pass out she wouldn't turn back into a human unless the South Ouroboros was destroyed, her book. If she lost her connection to it then she'd surely lose the abilities it gave her.
Please Anielka, hear me just this once, understand me just this once. Don't let them use my book until I finish my task. I beg you don't let them use that part of the spell until I find Anzu and Kailani. Miakoda pleaded in her mind as she ran even further into the woods. She never felt this uneasy in a very long time, since the first time she was told to take care of the freakin' book that seemed to consume her life. Such suffering she had from it but also what great adventures she had. Even Anzu had a great adventure, even if the fire within her was nearly extinguished more than once in her lifetime.
That's right! I'm coming you two, just be alive when I get there. I don't feel like loosing you then having to tell Ryou and Bakura you're dead you self-centered pagan whore. With that the wolf pressed on even harder all that more determined to save her friends.
"Ugh. I feel like a building collapsed on me." Kailani groaned as she turned over and nearly fell out of the bed. "Shit-fuckers what in the name of hell happened?"
"Ms. Mahina please, you are in no condition to move around like that yet." A female voice said and Kailani looked up seeing a woman with jet-black hair and bright blue eyes.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know my name? Where in the name of poof-y strudels are Anzu, Miakoda, and Anielka?" Kailani said looking the woman who was dressed in a white lab coat, blue shirt, kaki pants, and dress shoes.
"Oh goodie, hello darling! You're awake I see." Another woman who looked suspiciously like Anzu's diseased sister said.
"Fuck! Amneris? Shit! I haven't seen you since I was in grade school. Damn this is fucking messed up! Why are you here?" Kailani said backing away from the woman as fast as she could.
"Honestly darling, how can you swear so much? If my little Anzu-poo ever swore as much as you I'd wash her mouth out with soap. She's a really cutie-pie! Have you seen her dance?" Amneris asked going off into her little fantasy world as she started to babble.
Kailani sweat-dropped as she looked at the insane woman she knew as Anzu's stepmother. "Is she always like this?" She asked the woman that sat on a chair next to her. The woman was just relaxing her arms and legs crossed a slightly annoyed look on her face.
"If she didn't own so much money I would have strangled her by now." The woman said a thin black eyebrow twitching making Kailani smirk.
"Want me to do it for you?" Kailani said as she sat up but her poor body protested to the movements. "Damn, what the hell happened? I wasn't lying when I said it felt like a building collapsed on me."
"Well a building collapsed on you, what do you expect? I'd give you something for the pain if it weren't for the mere fact that I don't know what you are allergic to. In the condition you are currently in, an allergic reaction to anything could put you in shock, ending in a coma that is highly unlikely you'll recover from." The woman said with a shrug looking the Hawaiian over slightly amused. Honestly Anzu sure has some strange friends. She thought noting how irritated Kailani seemed about being injured.
"I'm not allergic to anything, well that I know of. Trust me I've been through the hospital long enough to know I can pretty much have whatever you give me. Although sometimes the affects differ." Kailani said then looked the woman over. "I never got your name did I?"
The woman chuckled, amusement clear in her eyes. "Dr. Mazaki Kagami at your service."
"Dr. Mazaki? HEY! You're Anzu's aunt aren't you? The black market doctor." Kailani exclaimed after slowly pronouncing the doctors name.
"That is correct." Kagami said her amused smile not leaving her face. "I'm must say you don't strike me as a boy crazy sadistic vegetarian, as Anzu oh so nicely puts it."
"Then you don't know me very well do you?" Kailani asked a smirk on her face. "So where the hell am I and what happened to the others?"
"Currently you're in my Siberia Facility, Anzu is in the other room still recovering from her injures, she hasn't woken up yet. I'm not sure what happened to your other two friends, they weren't in the rubble that Amneris and I pulled you from that was for sure." Kagami said thoughtfully and before she could say another word Kailani was out of bed and down the hall.
The purple haired Hawaiian quickly found Anzu's room. She looked in her purple eyes widened at the sight of her friend that was hooked up to a few machines monitoring her vital signs. Slowly Kailani walked in and sat down on the white-sheeted bed. "Dear Zazu whatever happened to you? How did things go so wrong that you blew the mansion up while we were still in it?" Kailani whispered before taking Anzu's hand in hers and passing out next to her friend as sudden fatigue dragged her into darkness.
Kagami appeared at the doorway and couldn't help but smile. She was glad to see Anzu had such devoted friends around her. After all quite a few times she had to stitch the poor girl together after something stupid the brunette did. She also had to put up with the fact that Anzu wasn't sound of mind and often seemed suicidal, something that didn't surprise the dark haired woman one bit.
"Do you think they'll be alright darling?" Amneris asked appearing at Kagami's side.
"They'll be fine, they just need rest, lots of rest." Kagami said before dragging the hyper woman off; leaving the two girls as they were. There wasn't any point in moving Kailani who would end up by her friend's side within a few seconds anyway. However they didn't notice the faint green glow around the two girls that seemed to come from Kailani. Nor did they realize that when the two girls woke it would be likely that they'd leave before another minute passed. After all, they were busy people and they had a wolf to meet.
And cut! This shall be good for a while. SO REVIEW! Next chapter will probably have Anzu and Kailani meeting up with Miakoda! Anielka having to put up with Bakura and Marik! God help those two, no one should be aloud to annoy the daughter of Gypsies!
