Yo minna~ for a heads up, this story will be a part of Hatsumi's flashback only I'm going to be doing the whole story.

Thought that I'd try something new ^~^

the main character would be Umeko Ishimoto, the former wielder of the Elemental Amulet and her best friends Machiko Ayasagawa and Hatsumi Suchi, the singer in the last chapter =}

~~~6 years ago~~~

Normal POV

Hatsumi and two girls were walking together in the forest. One girl had long, blue hair and ocean blue eyes named Machiko and the other girl had short light brown hair and hazel eyes named Umeko.

"So Umeko, how's your dad treating you," Hatsumi asked with worry.

"His usual, he wants me to toughen up and turn into a person like him. Evil, ruthless, and cold-hearted," Umeko sadly said.

Hatsumi looked at Umeko with sad eyes.

"Don't worry Umeko, everything's going to be fine," Hatsumi said with a weak smile.

"Yeah, hey Machiko," Umeko said.

"Huh, oh uh, yeah?" Machiko said. She looked up and her friends and smiled.

"Your zoning out again," Hatsumi said.

"Is it about her, your sister," Umeko said with sympathy in her words.

Machiko looked at the ground and sighed, "Yeah."

"Don't worry, you'll find her soon," Umeko encouraged.

"Yeah, she isn't gone forever you know," Hatsumi stuck her tongue out.

Machiko laughed, "Yeah, I know. Thanks you guys."

The three group hugged and giggled.

timeskip to when Umeko was heading home...

Umeko was walking towards a forest which leads to where she lives and saw 5 mages with dark capes around them and their hoods were covering their faces. Umeko stood dead in her tracks and stood in her battle position.

"Are you the daughter of the master in this guild," a man showed a lacrima with an image of what looks like an abandoned guild but wasn't. Umeko recognized the guild and nodded her head.

A woman who was covered like the other mages stepped out, "Than this amulet is your's my dear. Use it and harness it's energy and power to conquer the world."

"And plunge the world into utter darkness," all the mages chanted.

Umeko was shocked but she took the amulet, she wasn't going to use it for evil, but she is going to use it for good. Only, how does she do that?

"What exactly is this amulet," Umeko questioned with a serious determined face.

"It is known as the Elemental Amulet my dear," a man explained.

"Yes, only those who have magic that is related to one of the five elements-Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Lightning-can harness its energy," an elderly woman replied.

"And we, the 5 Dark Angels of the world, have chosen you, Umeko Ishimoto to take hold of this amulet," a guy said.

"And harness its energy to take over the world," a woman sinisterly said and laughed at the end.

Umeko was shocked. She didn't want to use its power to take over the world and plunge it in darkness, but they don't know it do they...

Umeko pretended to accept this task and the 5 Dark Angels of the World disappeared.

'I will use this for good, but I won't show it to father. He would take it from me by force and by then, I'll be dead.' Umeko thought.

She ran home as fast as she could with the amulet hidden in her pouch so her father won't see it.

Umeko's POV

I waited for the maid to come out and opened the gate and a few seconds later, she came.

"Oh! Umeko-sama you must be freezing my dear. Come in quickly, your father wants to see you," the maid said.

"Hai, thank you," I thanked the maid and went inside and changed into a yellow dress with a ribbon in the center of the dress and it had little white ruffles on it.

I put my pouch under my bed and headed for my father's studies, "You called for me father?"

"Yes, please come closer Umeko," he said.

I did as I was told.

"You are fully aware that humans don't live forever and eventually the same thing would happen to me, am I correct," my father asked.

"Yes father," I said.

"You will have to marry one of my top two strongest dark mages in the guild, so you will be able to carry on with your life when I'm gone," my father further explained.

"I understand father, but I am not in love with any of the two," I explained to him.

"You are my daughter and you will do as I say. I know your power in magic surpasses them but it does not surpass me. You are still weak before my eyes and I will do any means of using so you could carry on the family legacy. Understand?" he cruely said.

I frowned but nodded, "Yes father. I understand father."

"Very good. You may leave," my father bluntly said.

"Yes father. Good-night father," I bid him good-night and left his studies.

The maids and butlers overheard and seemed fearful of my father. It is no surprise.

I walked to my bedroom and changed into my yellow night gown. I sat on my bed and I took out my pouch with the amulet inside. I locked my doors and I knew nobody would notice me considering that they know that I cry and want alone time after every conversation with my father. I took out my amulet and started to cry. A tear fell onto the amulet and it shined brightly, its light was almost blinding.

Suddenly, I was sucked into a new world. I was amazed by everything in it, the stars, the sun, and little rays of light. Then, I saw a little fluffy ball pass by me. It was yellow and had a ribbon on its head. I reached out to touch it and it zoomed right around my hand, I giggled at the sight. Then it suddenly went away, I was confused but then I looked up to see something. It was extremely bright but it was bright enough for me to get an image of it.

It was a little girl with long raven black hair, small bangs on her forehead, and she was wearing a pure snow white kimono.

"W-who are you," I asked. I was slightly fearful of her because I don't trust people and things by appearances.

"Don't be afraid. I am the Protector of the Elemental Amulet," she giggled.

I calmed down a bit.

"So the 5 Dark Mages of the World have given teh Elemental Amulet to your hands I believe," she questioned.

I nodded my head slowly and she smiled.

"That was their mistake," she giggled.

I was confused, "What do you mean by 'That was their mistake'?"

"The members of the 5 Dark Angels of the World mistakened you as a member of the dark guild that your father created and him as the master. They believed that you were a ruthless dark mage like him and gave the amulet in our possession," she explained.

I was beginning to understand things and I began to smile.

"Oh, looks like its almost my time," she smiled.

"W-wait, will I see you again," I reluctantly asked.

"Yes you will, don't worry. I am in you possession also, Umeko Ishimoto," her voice faded.

I woke up on my bed and i was still holding onto the amulet. I grasped it a little tighter.
