Inuyasha: A Fugitive Fairytale
Chapter Five
Fairy Infestations and Hanyou Constellations
"I don't believe in fairies."
Kagome slapped her hand over Bakura's mouth. "Are you crazy? You can't just go around killing fairies!"
Amused brown eyes crinkled as he licked her hand
"Ew!"
"I don't believe in fairies."
She smacked his arm, then wiped her hand on his shirt. "Stop killing fairies, you jerk! And I can't believe you LICKED me!"
Oh what she wouldn't do for a good 'sit' rosary for him. She pushed the thought away quickly before she broke down again. Yesterday she had cried. And cried. It was borderline hysterics for awhile. In fact, she had literally cried herself sick. Bakura had gone from sarcastic to wary quickly. It would have been amusing if she wasn't in the middle of a breakdown.
But Inuyasha would find her. She knew he would.
She hoped he remembered to bring her school uniform. The short blue ninja outfit was cute (especially with the pink bow), but it really didn't seem to fit in with time (or place) she was currently in.
"Why does the girl keep saying that he is killing fairies?" asked the tiny pink haired creature as she hovered nearby, munching on what was left of her 'waffo'.
"I don't know, Sugar. Maybe she's just… confused." The dark haired fairy pushed up her glasses and studied the two arguing humans.
"I dunno, Pepper," said the male fairy. "She seems pretty sure. What if he really is killing fairies? Maybe we should contact the Elder."
"Let's get Saga, Salt. She's a human, maybe she'll know what they are talking about." Sugar licked the last crumb off her finger and looked around the street. But the only thing she could focus on was the 'waffo' vendor. "If we get Saga, she could buy us another waffo!"
"What is a 'waffo'?" Kagome whispered to Bakura as two of the little fairies sped off.
The tomb robber looked around. The he spied the man selling sweet waffles. "Over there. I'll get us some."
"But… we don't have any money…"
The amused look was back in his eyes. "Have you forgotten what I do for a living?"
"Did. Past tense. No stealing, Bakura." Kagome watched as the fairy named Salt continued to hover near them, looking at them with suspicion. It was… odd… she had seen (and helped eliminate) lots of demons in her time, but never fairies. "And quit trying to kill the poor little fairies."
This time he laughed. It looked like the sound surprised him. From the stories he told, Kagome knew that usually his laughs were generally reserved for something sinister, so it was no wonder he didn't recognize it. She tried not to smile, he might stop. And from the sound of things, Bakura never really had a whole lot to laugh about.
"I take it you have read Peter Pan," laughed the young man with white hair.
Was that an actual attempt at a real conversation? Kagome double checked to make sure she was still talking with Bakura. She could have sworn for a moment that she was speaking with Ryou, his gentler counterpart that she met in Battle City. For two days she had been wandering around the small village in Germany with Bakura with no sign of Ryou. At least, that is where Bakura told her that they were.
Traveling in this country/world was much different than traveling in Japan with her friends. There was no wild life to hunt. Even if there was, who was going to hunt it? It wasn't exactly a skill she picked up along the way. Cooking sure, hunting and killing things, no. Bakura's offers to 'find' them food was beginning to not sound like such a bad idea.
"Of course I did, how else do you think I knew what you were doing, you fairy killer."
There was a soft sound that caught her attention. Kagome looked over and saw the little fairy trying to get her attention.
"Yes?"
"Is he really a fairy killer?"
Kagome blushed. "Er… I don't… um… well…" She scratched her head. "I read a book that said if you said what he said that a fairy would die."
Bakura and the fairy both looked at her in confusion.
"About the believing in fairies thing," she explained.
Bakura smirked and the fairy still looked confused.
"You mean… you think he's killing fairies just by saying he doesn't believe in them?"
Kagome nodded.
The little fairy rolled his eyes as he seemed to stand on the air with his tiny hands on his hips. It was difficult for her to not squeal at the cuteness of it. "Hardly any humans believe in fairies, that doesn't mean we aren't still here."
Kagome looked around as another fairy flew by. This one seemed to be carrying a violin. She pressed her lips tightly closed so she wouldn't make a remark about the world's tiniest violin. She wasn't sure that any of them would get the joke, and it was possible that the fairy may find it offensive.
Ever so slightly, Bakura turned his head as his eyes narrowed slightly. Kagome turned to look in that direction. She saw a young girl running their direction.
"Put that away," growled Kagome.
Bakura smirked as he tucked the knife he was hiding in his hand away back into his pocket. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "You're no fun."
The girl stopped a few feet in front of Kagome and Bakura. She was smiling at them and trying to not look like she was paying attention to the two little fairies flying about her head both talking at once and pointing at them.
"Hello," Kagome greeted her.
"Hello. My name is Saga."
"I'm Kagome and this is my friend, Bakura."
The tomb robber looked startled at the introduction. She supposed that not many referred to him as a friend. But how else could she explain him? This is Bakura, the guy who followed me through time and space because he had nothing better to do.
Bakura gestured to the fairies. "They always make such a fuss?"
This time it was Saga who looked startled. "You can see them?"
"Yeah," he said. "There's seems to be some sort of a fairy infestation around here."

"Just how long are you going to keep him under?"
Aster bit her nails, a deplorable habit she thought she rid herself of years before. Enforcers of justice did not go around biting their nails nervously. But, she had a good reason to be nervous. Dayan had a right to know, but she wasn't looking forward to telling him. After taking a breath, she turned around to face her partner.
"We're keeping him under for as long as possible."
He plopped down in the seat across from her desk. He had accused her of hiding in her office once they got back on board. It wasn't true. Not exactly. After they got on board and secured the hanyou and the fox demon in the holding cells, she knew that she had a lot to do and a very short time to get it done. Plus she had to prioritize the problems before they could be dealt with and redouble her efforts into finding Kagome.
"Aster?"
Blinking slowly away from her thoughts, she saw Dayan leaning forward, looking concerned. Wiping her palms on her pants, she decided that she had to tell him.
"We have to keep him under until we locate Kagome."
"Sorry to tell you this, Az, but that won't be much longer. The effects of the tranquilizers are wearing off."
She jumped to her feet, eyes wide with panic. "Then give them another dose!"
Dayan watched as she grabbed her jacked and headed for the door. She muttered about making a quick trip to the medical unit then to the cells. She had to keep the hanyou asleep. Not even halfway through the door she was stopped. Looking down she saw Dayan's hand on her wrist. She couldn't look him in the eye. It was wrong to have kept the information from him. And now they may both pay for it.
"You don't understand, Az. The tranqs are losing any effect on them. Maybe it's their metabolism, or the fact that they have demon blood. The fact of the matter is that we can't keep them under for much longer."
"No." The word was a hissed plea.
"Look, they're rational beings. We'll just let them know that we're on her trail and will catch up with them soon. No big deal."
Aster dropped her head and closed her eyes.
"When he wakes up, he will cut through the bars as if they are tissue paper. Then, in a frenzied rage he will kill me in one swipe, then the fox demon as he tries to help, then he will cut you to ribbons and you will die of blood loss after hours of excruciating pain as he continues to beat on you."
Dayan let go of her wrist and gulped. "Then we take away his sword."
She shook her head. "Then he somehow… changes… into this demon. And we will still die, though much more painfully as he will tend to do more… ripping."
"I have a suggestion."
Dayan and Aster looked up and saw the smiling red haired boy.
"What? How? You!" Aster was sputtering. "We locked you up!"
He smiled pleasantly. "Yes."
"You said you had a suggestion?" asked Dayan.
"Yes." His green eyes were friendly and calm. As if their imminent deaths were not just down the hall.
Aster clenched her hands into fists to keep from shaking the answers out of him. She would figure out how he escaped later. Right now she had bigger things to worry about. "What is your suggestion?"
"Simple. Let Inuyasha loose."

"Thank you very much for inviting us to tea, Saga." Kagome lifted her tea cup and hissed quietly at Bakura, "Do you HAVE to eat so much?"
He simply grinned and took yet another tea cake and popped it into his mouth. Though he would never admit it, he missed the tea cakes and sandwiches that Ryou would have at tea in England. Before he could only remember the taste, since it was actually his host who ate and drank. Sometimes, when he was bored, he would leave his soul room inside of Ryou and poke around in his memories.
Of course, since following Kagome, he hadn't heard even a whisper from Ryou. In fact, he didn't think that Ryou was in him at all. Somehow he had a body of his own. Was it possible that Ryou was still back in Battle City? How could something like that have happened? His own body… now THAT opened up a lot of possibilities.
"You're welcome, Kagome. I must admit, I was very surprised to find out that you can see fairies too! Sugar is staying with me while she looks for her twinkle. Salt and Pepper stay elsewhere, but they like to come and keep Sugar company."
"Twinkle?"
Saga shrugged. "I'm not sure what the twinkle is. But she keeps looking for it. She's an apprentice season fairy. Once she finds her twinkle she'll become a full-fledged season fairy."
"Season… like a seasoning?" Kagome asked.
Their hostess laughed. "No. But I don't blame you for thinking so. Sugar is a snow fairy. Salt is a sun fairy. And Pepper is a wind fairy. Season as in the four seasons. At least… I think so." She scratched her head and smiled, then checked her watch. "Oh! It's getting late! I need to be at the coffee shop." She stood. "Please, stay here and finish tea. Grandma Regina made lots of food. After work I have an appointment to help my friend Phil, then I need to… hmm… I may be able to rearrange my schedule… Yes. I think so. If you would like, I can show you around town later. I'm sorry, but I really have to run. Stay and enjoy yourselves!"
Saga waved as she started to run out of the house. Kagome and Bakura watched as she raced down the street, Sugar trailing after her. Salt and Pepper, however, seemed quite content to sit on the upturned tea cup to watch Kagome and Bakura.
"Don't you have wishes to go grant or something?"
"Bakura!" Kagome slapped his arm. What was it with this girl and the physical punishments she liked to dole out? He wasn't sure which was more violent, the sword swinging hanyou or the girl. "Please forgive him. We've had a long journey."
Pepper looked at Salt. "Grant wishes?"
"Yeah, that's what fairies do," Bakura said. He leaned back and draped his arm over Kagome's shoulders. He gave her a leering look as he curled a lock of her hair around his finger. This promised to be fun. Painful, but fun. "I've got a wish you could grant."
"BAAKURAAAA!!!"
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
Inuyasha's blood sizzled.
He had woken up groggy only moments before. But the first thing he noticed was that there was no scent of Kagome. That woke him up quick.
"Kagome?"
He sniffed the air again. Unfamiliar smells assaulted his nose, but he tried to sort through them to find a trace of the miko's. He opened his eyes and scanned the area, just in case somehow his sense of smell was failing him.
"Kagome?"
He was in a room with bars? A cell?
"KAGOME!!!"
He reached for his sword as the sound of footsteps came closer, running towards him. He sniffed. Kagome wasn't with them, but he did recognize the smells. His fist clenched around the hilt of his sword.
They separated him from Kagome.
It was their fault.
Kagome was alone.
Unprotected.
And it was ALL THEIR FAULT!!!
The growl erupted from him as his body screamed at him to take revenge on these people who dared take away his mate. He felt his fangs grow longer. They would pay. They would all pay!
"KAGOMEEEE!"
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome cried out, then whimpered, reaching out into the darkness. Bakura watched from the chair in the corner. He wasn't about to sleep in a strange place, regardless of how harmless Saga and her grandmother appeared to be. He would not lower his guard.
"Who is Inuyasha?" asked the little sun fairy who for some bizarre reason felt compelled to follow Bakura around.
"Her… friend."
"Why is she crying?"
"They got separated."
"Why doesn't she go find him?"
Bakura flicked the fairy off of his shoulder. "Aren't you supposed to be off looking for a sparkle or something?"
"A Twinkle." Salt flew back and perched himself on Bakura's head. "She seems so sad every since we talked about the stars tonight. I don't like seeing her so sad."
The tomb robber watched Kagome. Her tears were… distressing. He shouldn't care. His heart had died long ago. Thousands of years ago. Hadn't it? All he cared about was vengeance against the pharaoh and collecting the Millennium Items. Only… the pharaoh didn't exist here, and neither did the items. It was strange. Freeing.
He was almost enjoying the adventure. Though the girl didn't seem to be. At least not at night. During the day she was friendly and full of smiles, a lot like Anzu. But at night… at night she would cry in sorrow. In anguish. In desperation. It had taken him a long time to recognize that she was suffering because she loved the hanyou.
Love.
A stupid, useless emotion. A weak emotion.
Strange how it seemed powerful enough to bring the miko to her knees. Love… who needed it? All it does is gives you a weakness for others to exploit. He should know, he's exploited it plenty of times in the past. Snatch the Pharaoh's friends and suddenly he's ready to battle, body and soul. What would it be like to have someone to care about like that? Someone you would defend with your life? And what would it be like to have someone feel like that about him? Bakura watched Kagome sleep. What would it be like to love someone enough to search for them through time and space?
A tear trickled down her cheek, and Bakura fought to keep from wiping it away. To wipe away evidence of that strong emotion she felt for the hanyou. It made him feel… empty.
"I don't like seeing her sad either, elf."
"Um… I'm a fairy… not an elf."
"Whatever."
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo

"Well, now," said Aster cheerful (obnoxiously so) as she sat perched on the table next to him as she played with changing the color of locks of her hair with her favorite techie toy, "That didn't go so bad, did it?"
"He broke my arm, Az," growled Dayan. She was all too perky for being in the medical unit. She had a few defensive cuts and bruises on her arms from jumping in front of him to protect him from the enraged hanyou. A bit of a blow to his ego, but it probably saved his life. "And dislocated my shoulder, and broke three fingers."
"But we are all alive," came the gentle voice of their red haired stowaway.
"Yes! And that is soooo much better than being dead."
Dayan didn't want to agree with her. Maybe when the painkillers kicked in and his bones were mended. Thank the stars that each ship came equipped with the medical units. Broken bones healed in hours instead of weeks.
"Where is that psycho anyhow?"
Aster paled, then glanced around. She stopped playing with her now rainbow of hair coloring and pointed to the top of her head with her two index fingers and mouthed the words 'good hearing, idiot'. Dayan cringed. He really REALLY hoped he was far enough away that he didn't hear that little comment. Last thing he needed as another thing to tick him off and have even more bones in need of mending.
"He's in the mess hall eating." Mess hall? More like a small room with a small table and four chairs bolted to the floor. "I showed him how to work the automator while you were, um, out. Hopefully we'll still have some supplies left once he's done."
The stowaway stood up and stretched.
"I shall go keep our friend company," he said. "And perhaps have a snack as well. Would you care for me to bring something back for you?"
Dayan snarled at him to just get out. Kurama was way too polite and nice considering they fought a battle on the ship a mere half hour ago. How could he just smile and shrug it off? And how did he get away without a single scratch? And not a hair out of place! The least he could do would be to maybe limp or something.
"Hey!"
Dayan jumped. Aster snickered. Yet another blow to his ego.
"What do you want?" Perhaps he'd get bonus points for bravery for snarling at the half demon who nearly destroyed their ship.
"You said we were going to go get Kagome? When are we going to be there? Are we almost there?"
Aster snickered again. It was, after all, the third time he had asked since he finished whupping on them all. "No, Inuyasha," she said patiently. "We're still a ways away. We'll be there soon."
The hanyou looked at them suspiciously. "You'll let me know as soon as we get close." It wasn't a question.
"Yes, Inuyasha."
After another glare, he left again. Dayan no longer cared where he went, as long as it was far away from him.
"I better go give him a tour of the place," Aster said as she hopped off of the table.
"Give him a tour of the cells again," Dayan grumbled. "Or the airlock."
Aster shook her head and pointed to her head again with her two index fingers. She mouthed the words "good hearing, idiot".
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
The place was pretty interesting. It would be more interesting of Kagome was next to him and not out of his reach. Being separated from her made his skin itch. It also shortened his temper significantly. The woman trailing after him didn't improve his mood, nor did the fox demon who kept trying to have a 'civilized' conversation with him.
"So Kagome adopted a fox kit," the annoying kid asked. "How did that happen?"
"WE adopted the kit," Inuyasha said pointedly. "WE found him after his father had been slaughtered and WE took him along on OUR journey. He just kind of stuck around and it just kind of happened."
"Surely along your travels you must have met others of his kind."
Inuyasha shrugged as he inspected the metal machine they were flying in. He couldn't find a single seam in the walls where it had to have been put together. He wondered if she would be able to make sense of the place. And there was hardly any smell. Everything was muted. Sterile.
"Yeah, so?"
"So why did he not choose to make his home with other fox demons?"
Inuyasha froze, then slowly turned to glare at Kurama with narrowed eyes. "You mean like YOUR kind?" Kurama just shrugged and smiled. "Shippo won't be separated from Kagome. He's adopted her as his mother."
"Oh, I would not dream of separating Shippo from Kagome."
Inuyasha blinked.
Twice.
Then he grabbed his sword and roared.
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
Kagome sat cross legged on the ground and stared at the Tripper, willing it to work. She even tried summoning up her miko energy. Apparently magic doesn't work well on that particular brand of technology. Closing her eyes she concentrated on Inuyasha. Once she had been able to communicate with him through time, but that was when she was next to the God Tree. There was nothing to focus on that would have the same connection. Her head drooped as she realized that she had nothing of Inuyasha's.
But he had the rosary. And it was connected to her. So maybe… Just maybe…
Clasping her hands together she pictured Inuyasha, and focused on the rosary he was wearing. She called his name. She reached out with her soul. She could almost feel hi…
"HEY!"
Dang it! She was so close!
Irritably she looked around for what hit her in the back of the head. From the ground she heard some tiny mumbling.
"BAKURA!" He really needed a sit necklace. She should have asked Kaede how to create them long ago. "Fairies are not spitballs! Stop it."
"You tell it to stop sitting on me or I'll be forced to do more than just flick it off."
"Perhaps a little bit of sunlight will help to cheer him up," suggested Pepper as she adjusted her tiny little glasses then helped Salt back up to his feet. "Play your trumpet and call out the sun."
"Good idea!"
"NO! No more trumpet playing. Kagome, you keep that thing away from me or I won't be held responsible. Not even your puppy dog eyes will keep me from pulling off his wings this time!"
"Maybe if we found HIM a twinkle it would make him happy," suggested Sugar cheerfully.
Kagome clenched her hands into fists to keep from following Bakura's bad example. She was beginning to see what he meant about a fairy infestation. While Saga was in school, apparently they had nothing better to do than hang around them asking about a zillion questions and being extremely happy. Normally excess happiness wouldn't bother her so much, but she was trying to cope with being separated from her best friend and trying to find a way back to him. And concentrating was difficult with their new little friends around.
All the time.
All. The. Time.
How did the not drive poor Saga insane? Even on Inuyasha's worst day he wasn't as annoying as the fairies buzzing around all day. They were more like tiny little Shippos that could fly and never got tired of asking questions. The mental image of the kit being three inches tall with wings made Kagome smile. Which turned almost immediately melted into a sad frown.
"Let me guess. Thinking of the little wolf demon?"
Kagome over at Bakura. "Kouga?"
"Nah, The Ship one."
She laughed. "Shippo is a fox demon. Don't let Inuyasha hear you calling him a wolf."
Bakura sat next to her. "He got a thing against wolves?"
"Well… sort of."
Reaching over, he took the Tripper from her. He looked amused as she quickly snatched it back.
"I just wanted to see how it worked." He leaned back, stretching his legs out in front of them and crossing them lazily.
"How what works?" asked Sugar as she landed on Kagome's hand. "Oh! Maybe I could help with magic!"
"NO!" Kagome pulled the Tripper to her chest and glared at the pink haired fairy. It was tough work, but she managed to calm herself down and force an apologetic smile on her face. "I mean… no thank you, though I appreciate your offer.
"Maybe it would work if we found a Twinkle for it!"
Kagome grit her teeth and tried not to snap at them. After all, they were just trying to help. Even if they had no idea what a Twinkle was.
Pepper cocked her head to one side as she looked at the object Kagome held tenderly. "Is it supposed to make that sound?"
"Sound?"
Pepper nodded. "Yes, a slight humming sound. It just started."
Sugar and Salt stopped their 'game' of dodging Bakura's hand and went to go listen to the Tripper. "I hear it!" they said in unison.
Kagome held it up to her ear. She closed her eyes and concentrated, but still couldn't hear it.
"It's a very small sound," Pepper told her. The little fairy pat her hand sympathetically. It was the same look of sympathy Shippo and Inuyasha would sometimes give her when they realized her hearing was normal human hearing.
Then she felt the buzzing through her fingertips. She opened her mouth to remark on it, but suddenly the air began to shimmer. Tears flooded her eyes as she heard his voice.
"KAGOMEEEEE!"
"In… Inuyasha?" She jumped to her feet. But before she could take a step, Bakura was standing in font of her in a fighting stance. "What are you doing?" She shoved him. "Get out of my way!"
"Did you forget about a couple of space cops trying to put you away… permanently?"
"Inuyasha won't let them take me."
"GET AWAY FROM KAGOME!"
And suddenly there he was. Eyes flaring like molten gold. His hands were on her, checking for any sign of harm.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did he touch you? Are you okay?" When his inspection was over he merely breathed her name and pulled her into his arms. Kagome didn't even try to stop her tears.
The sound of a throat clearing broke them apart.
"Er… really hate to do this… but…" Dayan took a deep breath. "Kagome Higurashi, you are under arrest for crimes against the universal Law of Time. You have the right to remain silent, but failing to mention any facts in your defense may be treated as evidence against you in…"
"I know the rest. I've heard it before," Kagome remarked grumpily. The loss of body heat, Inuyasha's body heat, put a damper on her mood. Reluctant to give up contact now that they were reunited, she held on to the back of his fire rat robe as Inuyasha faced the Time Police with his sword drawn.
"Yes, I'm aware. But law states that before an arrest is made I must read you your rights. So if you don't mind… Failing to mention any facts in your defense may be treated as evidence against you in the Court. If you wish to speak, anything you say may be given as evidence in the Court. A representative will be assigned to you once you have been processed." His weapon was leveled steadily at Inuyasha's chest. "Please… please come along quietly."
"What's going on, Kagome?" asked a tiny voice.
"They are bad people trying to take Kagome away," Bakura answered Sugar. "Can't you make a snow storm or something?"
"I can make a snowflake!" The fairy got out her flute and started to play.
"What the… What's flyin' around your head, Kagome?"
"She's a fairy, Inuyasha."
"WHAT?"
"A fairy." Looking up she saw a lone snowflake falling from the sky. Loads of help these fairies were. Pepper began playing her harp and the wind picked up. It was a gentle wind. Kagome sighed. Well… they were trying at least. She smiled at them to thank them for their help.
"Look, you guys can catch up on the ship. Now if you just come along we can drop Inuyasha, Kurama and Bakura off where they belong."
"I'm not leaving Kagome!"
It was Dayan's turn to sigh. "It's not like you'll even remember her once we put you back where you belong."
Enraged, Inuyasha attacked. Kagome screamed his name and he did a turn in the air. However, even his fantastic hanyou abilities could not stop him in midair. He realized his mistake the moment he heard her voice cry out. He threw his sword towards to woman sneaking up behind Kagome. Bakura, perhaps misunderstanding his intent, tackled Kagome.
Inuyasha's feet touched the ground and he launched back towards Kagome. He reached for her, screaming her name.
But she disappeared.
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooooOOooOOoo
ooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo
Nervously Aster backed away from the sword. If she had been even a moment faster she would have been split in half. So much for the splitting up and coming from two sides attack. Finding people and kicking booty were her forte, not battle tactics.
Her eyes widened as she realized that Inuyasha was pounding the ground and screaming. He was separated from Kagome again.
Heaven help them all.
Wishing she had brought Kurama along to help handle the hanyou, she quickly did a scan to see who might have been affected by Kagome in this time and place. She looked around and was able to pick up on one mind, though she couldn't find the body it went with. She closed her eyes and focused. Ah, it was a fairy.
Sugar: Devastated by the loss of her two friends, she doesn't find her Twinkle (whatever that was), grows despondant and fades away until she dies. This upsets her friend Saga who falls into deep depression, feeling she loses everyone in her life who means something to her.
So… where were the two friends?
