Okay so the chapter title will make no sense yet but it will when the next chapter is up. I'll write some of it during the week but I have lots of revision that needs to be done. I wrote half of this the other week but I needed to write the other half. Sorry for the long wait. Anyway you learn what Mia looks like in this chapter. Enjoy.

Memories forgotten by the heart.

Chappy 3- Swords of realisation-

Mia stood and looked at the sleeping Ren in front of her. He had brought her to his room and told her a story of what had supposedly happened. Horo and he had broken up and Horo had moved on, Horo being the boy with the spiky blue hair that had been arguing with the other boy, Lyserg. This, Mia already knew, she had seen it when Rens hands brushed her neck and where they were left when he broke down when he first saw her, Ren must not have realised this or she knew he would have had no choice but to tell her the full truth, how Horo had slept with Lyserg while still with Ren, and how Ren had found them in the bed together, how it tore him apart so much he felt that life was always going to hurt him, how he had planed to stop life, taking it away himself so that he needn't continue living. She walked to the door, careful not to wake him; she walked out and onto the landing closing the door gently behind her. She walked slowly down the stairs listening for voices. She heard the one she was listening for and followed it into the kitchen.

In the kitchen Horo sat talking to a boy with short brown hair and deep brown eyes, this was the boy that was chucked out of the house, Yoh, the girl had called him. As she entered the room the boys looked up at her. She looked deep into Horos eyes searching for any sign of sorrow, regret, guilt, anything that could make her turn around and think more fully about what she was going to do. She saw none, only confusion of who and why she was here. With a sigh she looked fully at Horo and said.

"You have caused great upset to Ren. You seem not to understand the fully extent of what you have done, but maybe when I have finished you will." She lifted her right hand towards the back of her neck, it found the hilt of the large sword that was concealed behind her trench coat and long hair, she pulled it from its sheath, took aim at Horo and swung. Horo moved but slightly too late, he yelped as the blade tore into his skin cutting deep into his arm sending blood to the floor, he stumbled against the sink and sent dishes crashing down.

Upstairs Ren heard the crash, waking him from his slumber, he looked around, Mia was nowhere in the room and he realised that she knew what had happened, she was downstairs no doubt making the noise as she tried to punish Horo, and possibly Lyserg, for the pain Ren was feeling. He jumped up from the bed, grabbing his Kwan Dao as he ran out the room, down the stairs and skidded to a halt at the kitchen door. Horo sat slumped against the wall while Mia fought to move Yoh out of the way so she could get to Horo and push the blade of the sword into Horos heart. She finally managed to move Yoh out of the way, Ren went to move to stop her but he only got half way into the room as she reached Horo, and if in slow motion he saw Mia go to swing the sword at Horo and Horo reach out and grab her bare ankle as in one last ditch attempt to pull her from her feet stopping her killing him, as soon as skin touched skin Mia let out a piercing scream, dropping her sword, holding her head as if a serge of enormous pain had swept through her body, she tried to pull her ankle away but Horo held on. She began shaking as the pain took hold of her whole body. Instinctively Ren ran to Horo pulling his hand away from Mia's ankle, breaking the hold he had of her, as soon as it was broken she fell, still holding her head, eyes squeezed tightly shut. Shakily she rocked trying to collect her thoughts, pushing out any others. Ren crawled over to her; he looked as she stopped shaking so much as she was before.

"Are you okay?" Mia nodded as the pain slowly subsided. Slowly and very shakily she got to her feet. She pulled off her trench coat and picked up the sword, replacing it in its sheath. Breathlessly she replied.

"You know I'll be fine, it's not as if it hasn't happened before." Ren looked at her; she looked just as she had when he last saw her those six years ago. Her long brown hair falling just below her shoulders, her figure tall and built to a size that wasn't quite skinny and wasn't quite large, her green eyes filled with knowing, the black silk ribbon that kept the sheath in place crossed her body from her left shoulder to her right hip, her skin would have been covered completely when wearing her trench coat, apart from her neck upward, where no covering could be given, her ankles and feet, where her missing boots would normally cover, and her fingers, which the gloves she wore didn't cover. On her now exposed arms were the tell-tale sign of the huge scars that covered every part of skin there. All of these measures she took to hide her skin were so that the only weakness the chain, which could clearly be seen around her neck, couldn't not be found, but Horo had still found that weakness, even though he hadn't realised there was a weakness to be found.

"Mia, I've never seen you that bad. What happened?" Mia looked at Horo closely. She turned her head to Ren but her eyes never left Horo.

"You know what happened." Rens eyes fell on Horo.

"I didn't mean…"

"I know what you meant." She interrupted. "I'm not going to tell you, if you know then wont need me to tell you, and if you don't, which I presume is the case for everyone bar his sister, then it's up to him to tell you. Even I should not know." Horo looked at both Mia and Ren in confusion.

"How did you know I had a sister? And what are you going on about telling people? Telling them what?" Mia turned and looked at Ren.

"Be a dear and go get a first aid kit." She smiled as Ren reluctantly went and fetched one. When he returned she took it off of him and helped Horo up and into a chair. She turned back to Ren. "Why don't you take your friend somewhere, me and Horo need to talk." Ren sighed.

"I'll be down the hall, if I hear anything I'll be in here in two seconds."

"Hey I'm not leaving Horo with her alone." Yoh finally said.

"My name is Mia, and would you feel better if Soubi wasn't here?" Yoh looked confused. Ren rolled his eyes.

"She's talking about the sword."

"She named the sword?!"

"Ok I've already said my names Mia." She reached for the ribbon near her shoulder and pulled it over her head. She passed the sword to Ren and went to say something but was stopped as Ren quickly said.

"I know, I know, damage it and die. Come on Yoh." They left the room and Mia began cleaning Horos wound. Horo looked at her, this was all so confusing. One minute she was trying to kill him the next she was helping him, all because he touched her, but that couldn't be right.

"Are you going to explain to me what happened?" Mai finished tending to the wound and stood up.

"Are you hungry? I'm staved. Let's go get something to eat, somewhere where no one will listen to our conversation." She smiled and even though Horo had never met her before he knew that what she said was law, and that meant that no way was he getting answers in this house.

"Ok, let's go."

Mini authors note- if Mia is spelt anywhere in this 'Mai' I apologise. I kept writing it that way today for some reason.
