I told you it wouldn't be late!:3 Game of Life is going to be on a Hiatus because I'm still rewatching the video over and over again. (Another) Sleeping Beauty and This Story are my top priorities right now. After I'm done with them (End of the year possibly? I'm going to update like crazy during the summer:3), I'll start some Chobit, Fairy Tail, Harry Potter(possibly), and Angel beats. I'll take one-shot requests from time to time, my lookup should say when I am...:3 If I don't want to write a one-shot for a certain pairing, pls accept the fact that I just don't like the pairing and won't write about it. I dislike certain pairings in almost all anime/manga. Some mangas I just hate/don't read in general. DISCLAIMER:I OWN NOTHING, I CANT HAVE RANDOM PEOPLE THREATENING ME IN COURT NOW CAN I?

4:00 PM LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING

Miku smiled, another day full of work almost finished, she'd have to go into town soon if she wanted to buy the gifts in time. She finished washing the dishes and ran into the back room. She hurridly put on the green dress and tried to make herself presentable, it would take a while to walk to the city and if she was correct, she would be back just as the sun started to set.

"Mother, Father! I'm going out today, I don't need Mikuo to follow me, I can handle myself if I run into a stranger!"

" Yes Dear! Remember to be careful anyway!" Her father said loudly.

" Just get back in time for supper!" Her mom yelled.

Miku grinned and grabbed her bag, it wasn't much, just a few pieces of cloth sewn together, but it held all her her belongings, every single one of them important.

She flung open the door and staggered back, a giant stood at the door. She could see that there were at least 3 of them. Miku looked at their outfits one more time and realized that they were guards. Why would the be here? We've been paying our taxes...

She smiled at them and curtseyed, " I'll be back with water in a minute or two."


She rushed inside the kitchen and into the back room taking care not to be seen,"Mikuo! Rin! Len! The Lugerians are here! We have to escape through the back entrance!"

Mikuo peered through the crack in the wall that they called a 'window', " They have the house surrounded, escape is impossible. No way in or out, in short, we're dead."

Miku glanced at Rin and Len ," There has to be a way for Rin and Len to escape right? No matter what, I won't let them die. They're only 14!"

Mikuo smiled grimly, " I can make it so that Rin and Len live, So don't cry. Anyway, I won't let them die either, they're my little siblings,I'd protect them with my life. What about us?"

Miku frowned, " Best Case scenario, we are sold off as slaves, worst case scenario-"

"I understand."

"Do you want to go with them?" Miku asked, " I can't escape, they've seen me. They'll know something's up. Do you have a plan for Rin and Len?"

Mikuo pondered it, "I should stay here with you, as for Rin and Len, I'll think of a plan. I can get them to escape the soldiers ,but after that, they'll have to fight. The road will be hard and rocky, but they can make it, I know them. They can and will fight for their lives."

Miku smiled sadly, her eyes brimming with tears, " I want to tell you guys this, I will find you one day. It may be when I'm old and wrinkly, but I guarantee that one day, we can be a family again, however, we have to wait a long time until that day comes. And when it does, I promise that nothing will ever be able to separate us."

Rin nodded, her eyes darkening, " I pray for that day to come soon. Until then, survival is the 1st priority."

"I love you." Len whispered, tears brimming in his eyes.

Miku hugged him," Rin and Mikuo will take care of you, be a good kid."

As soon as Miku walked out of the room Mikuo turned around and smiled at Rin and Len, " Stay here, I pack the rations." With that he quickly exited the room and walked into the kitchen with a sack. He quickly began carefully packing all the essentials that would be needed on the trip.


Miku tiptoed into her parents room, " The Lugerians are here, they've seen me. Rin and Len are going to escape with help from Mikuo, they'll be fine. Right now all we have to worry about if You guys, Me , and Mikuo."

Her parents hugged her tightly, " I will reason with them, everyone has a conscience, they'll see that killing us is wrong, then they'll leave." Her father suggested.

Her mother shook her head, " The Lugerians have no reasoning, they only think of war and death, anything else doesn't exist in their mind. Besides, I won't have you die out there."

"I've lived plenty of years with you and the children, even if they kill me I have no regrets." her father said gently.

Miku watched the conversation with horror, were her parents really discussing their deaths?

Her mother started tearing up," Dear, if you are going out there I will too, everything will be ok, who knows? Maybe our reasoning will be successful?"

"I'll be waiting for you outside, honey." with that, he left the room.

Her mother stood up and pressed an object into her palm. "I don't quite believe that by the end of today I'll still be alive, but I want you to low that from the heavens I will support you. You are the best daughter anyone could have, you are beautiful and smart, I hope you have a promising future. Rin and Len are adorable children, they can get into trouble once in a while but they almost always mean well. And Mikuo, he makes me proud every time I look at him. He will be a fine adult when he grows older. Tell them all that I send my love and wish than a beautiful future, but that future doesn't include me or your father in it."

Her mother walked briskly out of the room. Not looking back.


Miku unclenched her hand and saw 4 pieces of jewelry, all gold. Two glittering rings and two sparkling necklaces with gems embedded in them stared back at her. There was a color for each of them.

Miku had this beautiful white gold necklace that had a large pendant in the center, the pendant had one large green gem covering it.

Mikuo had this intricate Blue-Gold ring with beautiful detailed lines that looked almost impossible to recreate.

Rin had a Gold necklace with a bright orange stone imbedded in almost every other bead.

Len had a ring with 10s of small gems carefully placed in it, the yellow on gold looked stunning.


How had her mother gotten these? They weren't rich enough to buy gold. Miku then remembered a bedtime story from many years ago, Could that've been mother?
