As I said I would explain the Mark. But I'm going to put it into a unique way it's going to be kind of like a side story. Totally different people from the crystal necklace but a fun way to explain it, also a connection is in it with Kiku and Ami and Shugo.

This is how it goes…..

Going to school-

"Come on Shugo" a dark brown haired girl shouted

She had a black skirt that had one thin chain on it at the end it had a paw of a fox and a plane white shirt on that stopped on the shoulder. She also had leather gloves on her hands, they where not real think leather. She also had cloth that went from a little above her elbow down; it had a black ribbon tied to keep it there. It had cherry blossom tree design on it of the colors of a light purple on it, it had a black trim at the end of it by the hand and went in to a cuffed hand shape where it is pointy at the end. Then the same color purple was on her legging with black bandages instead of white.

"I'm coming Ami" the black haired boy replied

"Where going to be late" Ami said pointing out the obvious

"Well don't blame me you're the one who took 5 hours in front of the mirror" he said catching up to her

"Well look at your outfit, black pants, with a black shirt that goes to the ground in the back then white buttons along the front and long sleeves with a high neck that has a V shape in the middle (ok that I would say is hard to picture Sry but I cant think of much else)

Inside she really thought the outfit was hot and looked good on him.

"Plus I wanted to look good is there a problem with that" she screamed at the front entrance of the Academy at him

The village they lived in was a small but not that small to be all the same family.

Well actually it was not all the same clan it really was many clans put together through marriage.

So it is not all the same family on a certainty scale after they mixed many clans about 8 to be exact they formed a village.

Inside school-

"We are glad you two can join us" the teacher said when the two walked through the door

"Please take a seat" she told them

They followed her orders and when to there seat in the front row.

"As I was saying the" teacher continued

"Everyone in this village has a mark on them where ever it is it symbolizes what you soul truly look like" she told them (….that's kinda cheesy but oh well)

"It can be a tree or an animal" she said

"I heard that it can glow" a boy said from the back

"Well yes it can glow but only will it when you are truly running out of chakra, like back up chakra" she answered

"Actually none of the marks on your arms, are you born with" she told them

"The mark is to protect the village it will kill anyone who try's to betray the village, it was done by the second clan to come here the Meiki clan" she said

"The spell turned into more of a curse over a couple of months as this village became hated, people had to start hiding the marks when they go to other villages otherwise people would probly try to kill them" Suki finally said finishing

"Miss Suki" a girl said raising her hand

"Yes" she answered

"Why is the biggest clan the Uzuki clan?" she asked

"Ami slumped down in her chair she was a direct descendent from the Uzuki clan before they even lived on these grounds.

But Shugo was from another clan the Meiki clan, so he was already in the same position.

"Well they where the first to start this village inviting many other clans into it and forming now what today is the Snow village for it being the only village to snow in what climate it is so close to" Suki answered

Suki looked at the clock it was twelve-thirty

"Time for lunch" she said, And they all headed out side

"I'm sick of people talking about our families almost every day of school" Ami said taking a seat on the swings

"Ya, but we can't help it are family's are the villages history, its only been here for what a half a year plus we are 17 and about to get out of school (The school is longer here)" Shugo said leaning against a tree next to the swing

"I don't know why we have to go to school for so long I mean most other villages you get out at 14" Ami argued

"Well we are in a couple of years going to be the parents of the first children born in this village" what does that mean Ami asked with somewhat of an idea of what it really meant

Ami and Shugo have known each other from the age of five long before the village was ever made.

At the question Ami asked, Shugo just turned his head in a different direction so his face didn't show a small blush.

They quickly ate lunch because they where talking to long, then finished the day of school.

Out of school-

"Only two days till the town festival" Ami said

"Are you going with anyone" Shugo asked

"You honestly think a guy in that class would ask me out?" she answered

"Why do you think that?" he asked

"Well for one I'm completely bizarre" she answered

"I know one guy that would ask you out" he said

"Who?" she asked curelessly

But he didn't answer.

"Bye" he said walking into his house

"Wait" she yelled at him

"…….."

"Why does he always do that to me!" she screamed at herself

Then she came to her house and went inside.

"hmm" Ami whined

"What's wrong?" her mother asked

"Actually I don't know" she answered just realizing she didn't know what she was whining at.

Her mom laughed at this and continued with the dishes.

Ami then went upstairs to her room, laying on the bed she fell asleep.

Morning-

All ready and dressed she waited for Shugo to come to her house, like he usually does almost every day but this time it was the weekend.

Getting impatient, Ami decided to go to his house for the first time, to get him.

When she arrived his mother answered the door and let her in.

"Where is Shugo?" she asked

"Still sleeping, so unlike him" she said

"Feel free to wake him up" she told her leavening the room

Ami had been in Shugos room before but not since they where eight and it was at a different house.

"What room is it" she asked poking her head into the living room.

"Third door on the right" she answered

Knock! Knock! No one answered so she decided to go in.

Unlike a normal teenage boys room his was clean.

"Strange" she thought.

She saw Shugo completely passed out on his bed.

Then she attempted to wake him up shaking him but it had no effect.

Thinking of the many things she could do to wake him up the thought of something that wasn't as torturously as the other things she thought of.

She then got on the bed and whispered into his ear instead of screaming which she thought of cleverly. If yelling and shaking had now effect then something quite might.

The second she did that he fell right off the bed taking the covers with him in effect bringing her down with him.

She ended up laying on top of him there faces almost touching and both blushing madly.

She attempted to get off of him but in that attempt fell again.

Shugo burst out laughing

Sighing she sat up and crossed her legs then they started to stare at each other after a few minutes they both started to laugh and couldn't stop till they where outside.

"I'm hungry" Shugo told Ami

"Well of course you sleep in so late" she said

"Why where you up so late" she asked

"Lets go here" he said passing a resurant

Shugo specialty was changing the subject

After sitting down and ordering, Ami remembered about the festival.

"So have you figured out who your going to the festival with?" she asked.

"You can get just about any girl in here" she told him

"Well I thought about it and…" he trailed off

"And what?" she asked

"I want to go with you, if you will go with me" he said blushing

Ami was caught off guard by this, he told her that he liked a girl in there class before and she bothered him for about a month on it, but never expected it to be her.

In amazement she struggled to say yes and not remembering inside voice screamed it, then quickly put she hands over her mouth and they both started to laugh.

Festival-

Two days gone by and it was the morning of the festival.

There was a knock on there door and Ami went down stairs to get it.

Opening the door she saw Shugo wearing a traditional Japanese festival outfit, that was black and white.

Ami was wearing a Kimono that was white and purple, it had a cherry blossom tree on it that was a darker shade of purple and traditional Japanese sandals.

"Wait let me take a picture" Ami's mom said rushing to them

Then they headed off to the festival.

There where many booths there along with restraints and karaoke.

They played many games before it got dark, once it did they headed to the lake to watch fire works.

Ami leaned against Shugo's chest while they watched the fireworks after they where over the headed home.

At Ami's front door she was about to say something when Shugo suddenly kissed her.

At first she was surprised but soon she closed her eyes and relaxed never wanting the kiss to end.

Then he put a crsytal necklace around her neck.

"This necklace holds your memories" he told her

"But be careful of what memory is put into it, if it is broken then you will never remember it again" he said

She never did end up putting any memories into the crystal necklace.

WOW!! This supposed to be a side story but ended up being my longest chapter! lol
