Recap:

" "Wow..I don't think I'll be able to remember all of these names..." I gently touched my temple, I was starting to get a headach.

"Well, lets go. C'mon! I'll introduce you properly to Pein!" Galaxina took my hand and started dragging me away, Martin trailing behind. "

Ya know what? Someone really should write a book about how introductions work. Especially for this guy. He barely said anything, nor did he even smile. AND! He refused to shake hands with me. How impolite! I woulda slapped him 'cross that metal face of his if I didn't know how much stronger he is than I am. But still! Here's what went down:

As Galaxina and I arrived at a small clearing in the middle of a forest, we saw Pein and Ren talking while Cassie tried to wrestle with Sakura, who really didn't want to wrestle.

"Pein!" Galaxina shrieked, running to him, still clutching my hand. "This is Rogue, Sakura's new friend! Rogue, this is my boyfriend, Pein!" Looking up at the tall, creepy man, I held out my hand some what hesitantly, and gave him a small smile.

"Hello." He just stared at me, nodded, then turned back to Ren, not even glancing at my hand.

"Where did Martin go?" Pein asked, glancing around.

"I don't know...He came with the girls...Probably saw a hot girl." Ren replied, and they went back to their previous conversation.

I was about to yell at him, but Sakura caught my attention. She was in human form and she offered Galaxina and me to pick flowers with her. Agreeing we started to walk away from the boys.

"So, Rogue! Do you have a boyfriend? A crush? Anyone that looks cute to you?" Galaxina leaned forward a bit to look at Rogue around Sakura. They were walking down a small dirt surrounded by grass and the 3 of them were in a row. Galaxina on the far left, Sakura in the middle and Rogue on the right.

"No...I mean, I was going to get married, it was arranged, but I-I accidently killed him." I felt the heat rush up to my face as soon as Galaxina asked me this.

"Oh I'm sorry!"
"No, it's okay! I didn't like him anyways!" I smiled at her. "He was a real ass!" Both Galaxina and Sakura laughed at her vulgar language. The path stopped, and in the way was tall green grass. Beyond that was a few hundred acres of tall grass and different flowers. The grass was as tall as my hip, and it kind of scared me, making me think of snakes slitherin' around in there.

I was pulled from my thoughts when Sakura called my name to hurry up, seeing as she was already about 10 yards away from me with Galaxina. Not wanting to seem like a wimp, I followed, glancing at the ground every now and then. Once I reached them, we all sat on our knees, picking any flowers that interest us. I only picked one, a red poppy flower, and was twirling the flower inbetween my index finger and thumb while Galaxina and Sakura talked. Sakura looked up and saw a red zinnia, and gasps.

"Anna! Can you please go get that red flower for me?" She nodded towards the flower, and lifted her hands to show that her hands were too full to get it herself. I smiled, and stood up, "'O course!" I walked over and leaned down, about to break the thick, green stem, but froze when I saw a shoe. What would a shoe be doing out here? I tried to tell myself it was nothing, but I couldn't move. I was scared.

"Rogue! Are you okay? Hey, Rogue!" Galaxina was calling for me, but I couldn't move. Galaxina and Sakura came walking up to me, asking what was wrong. Sakura saw it before Galaxina, and she was immediately locked onto the shoe. Once Galaxina noticed, she whispered, "What if there's a body? Or maybe it's just someone sleeping?"
"C'mon now, Galaxina, who would sleep out here?" Sakura asked smartly, glancing at her, then back at the foot. Sakura, being the only brave one, takes a step closer, and sees something that makes her run to the body.

I stepped forward too and saw something horrible. Martin was face down in the dirt, his shirt practically ripped off, and there were large scratches on his back. Blood was every where, and he wasn't moving. Unable to think, Sakura tries to lift him up in human form, never once did we think about her turning into a wolf and carrying him that way.

We waited hours and hours for Cassie to finish looking at him, and when he finally came out, I immediately wished it had been someone else to have found him. Galaxina then stood up, her cheeks gleaming with tears. "I must go tell Pein..." And she walked away. I watched her talk to Pein, and he stared at her in horror. Sakura was in the small medic's tent, sobbing over Martin. Pein quickly slipped into the tent passed me and stared down at his little brother's dead body. He crouched next to Sakura, wrapping and arm around her.

Soon enough, the entire pack, Akatsuki, and Pein's kids were in the tent, most of them were crying. I looked down at the boys and saw that neither of them were crying, but they both looked sad.

"Pein...Pein, we can't leave him in here. His body will start to rot soon. We have to bury him." One medic urged Pein to move from Martin.

"Shut up." Pein snarled, not looking up from Martin's face.

"But, Leader-sama-!"
Pein stood up, and bellowed at the poor medic, "I said shut up! This is my little brother! I am NOT walking out on him!"

"Pein, he's gone...He's...He's dead...whether you want to believe it or not..." Galaxina was standing in front of him, staring up at his face, and her hands on his chest in attempt to calm him down. "He's gone..."

With that, Pein sat back down nest to Martin, gently stroking his little brother's pale cheek. "Go away..." He whispers and Galaxina steps forward, about to say something but he interrupts her, "Please..." Then we were all out of the tent. I stood outside, waiting for Pein and Sakura to come back out. As I stood there, I started to cry myself, mainly because I heard Pein crying. I never thought he could cry...someone like him.

A few hours later we had Martin's body in a coffin, ropes were tied around it and the extra ropes used to lower the coffin into the ground. While it was being dropped, the people who lived here were throwing white roses into the hole, and the Akatsuki, Pack, kids, and I through crimson roses on the coffin. Everyone left the grave except Sakura, Pein, Galaxina, and me. I looked over at Sakura and saw that she was praying. Her hands were crossed neatly over her legs, head bowed, and eyes closed as she quietly prayed in a foreign language.

"Âme du Christ, sanctifie-moi. Corps du Christ, sauve-moi. Sang du Christ, enivre-moi. Eau sortie du côté du Christ, lave-moi. Passion du Christ, fortifie-moi. Ô bon Jésus, exauce-moi. Cache-moi dans tes plaies. Ne souffre pas que je sois séparé de toi. Contre l'ennemi malin, délivre-moi. À l'heure de la mort, appelle-moi et invite-moi à venir vers toi en compagnie de tes saints afin que je puisse te louer pour l'éternité. Ainsi soit-il."(1) Sakura lifted her head, kissed her finger tips, pressed those same finger tips on Martin's head stone, and then she slowly walked away, trying to leave her hand on his stone as long as possible. Pein never budged even after Galaxina and I followed Sakura.

We were all sitting under cover by a fire later that night. It was pouring down rain, and every now and then we'd see the flash of lightning in the sky. I glanced over at Martin's grave, which was now a large mound of dirt and mud, and saw Pein still standing there. "He's been there for 6 hours...like a statue..." I whispered, and Galaxina looked at him too.

"He hasn't moved an inch!" Galaxina gasped, staring at Pein who was standing in the rain, soaked, and unblinking stared at Martin's head stone. Galaxina walked out into the rain, pulling up the hood of her cloak, carrying a large blanket. She walked to Pein and he looked down at her, and hugged her. She through the blanket on him and got him to come to the fire to warm up.

"Maybe this is a sign..." Sakura whispers.

"What do you mean?" I watched her curiously.

"Well...Those wounds are obviously from another wolf. No animal could take Martin down that easily. One of those-those mutts were on our land! I think this is a sign for war...I think...We're supposed to fight back. But getting revenge will only make us as bad as them...maybe even worse."

"No, I think you're right. Come next sun fall...We're going to get back at them. I am going to kill one of their men." Galaxina gasped at Pein, and he stared hard at her. "I can't let this go by unnoticed! Theykilled my little brother! I will go tomorrow night." He rose and went back to his tent, muttering her was going to bed. Every was silent for a while, staring at the fire. Through out the 3 hours, one by one, people started heading off to their tents, Sakura and me being the last ones to go.

What have we gotten into?

OoOoOoOo

Hey, hope you liked it! New character(s) in the next chapter! :D

Sakura's prayer was in French, and here's what she was saying:

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water outlet on the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Hide me in your wounds. Do not worry if I am separated from you. Against the evil enemy, save me. At the time of death, call me and invite me to come to you in the company of your saints that I may praise you for eternity. Amen.
