A/N Thank you Wulf 4 Life for reviewing. I know her power seems like Senbonzakura but as the story progresses she will gain new powers only her first one is well lets say less original
CH 3
They went back home with the things Midori had stolen. Nadeshiko felt bad if it wasn't for her they wouldn't have to steal so much she always seemed to be hungrier than they ever were. She noticed that she received more food than either of them, but when she confronted them about it they just brushed it off.
The trio went to sleep a little after sunset chosing to sleep inside because of the cooler weather that night. Nadeshiko didn't sleep very well though as her dreams visited past memories.
Nadeshiko found herself in a dark alley that looked oddly familiar, but then didn't all dark scary places look familiar. She heard a noise that sounded like something had fallen not like the clang of a trash can but the thud of a body. Nadeshiko walked further back into the alley. As she drew near the dead end wall she saw shadowy figures standing over something lying on the ground. Something big enough to be human. Without thinking she ran towards the shadows though instead of getting closer they seemed to be receding. She didn't know why but she knew she had a bad feeling about the person who was on the ground. The dream turned completely black the last of the images fading away.
She woke to a rising sun and thought to herself 'what a weird dream'
She spent hours trying to learn how to control her powers. It took her a whole week to learn how to summon them again after the incident and she had felt foolish screaming out various battle phrases and striking different poses only to have nothing happen. She tried focusing on what she had felt at the time she first used her power since nothing else seemed to be working.
Finally though it worked she found out she could tap into her powers through her feelings, it was easier to call up for her now. She still had trouble controlling it though. She still had trouble controlling it. Sometimes it flew way off its mark. Other times it held to little or even too much power. Sometimes the power didn't listen to her at all. Midori and Aoki did what they could to help their friend.
"God, it seems like I'm never going to be able to control these powers." She was complaining after a long day of what she thought was useless training.
"Hey it'll take time you don't become a great warrior overnight." Aoki scolded her on her attitude. Though when he turned to look at her he found her fast asleep on the grass where she had collapsed after her training. He sighed and walked the few steps over to her and careful not to wake her he picked her up and carried her inside putting her on her bed. He walked back outside and stared up at the sky.
"You like her" Midori walked up to her brother.
"Well of course she's my friend isn't she" He didn't bother looking at her he just continued staring at the darkening sky.
"You know what I mean" she scolded him.
"I'm tired I'm going to sleep" he stomped inside and laid down on his bed. His sister sighed but let it go and followed her brother inside deciding to try and sleep as well.
~d~d~
"Why? It's not fair. Pain. So much pain." A voice rang through Nadeshiko's head as she dreamed. It sounded familiar almost like a distorted form of her own voice. She looked around but could see nothing in the blackness of her mind.
"Who's there?" she called out into the darkness. But there was no response.
"What's going on?" she yelled out again fear echoed in her voice, but again only silence was her answer. A sharp pain shot through her body and she collapsed to the ground. She felt as if something was crushing her body then they tossed her over a cliff to smash into the ground. Through her pain blurred vision she saw a white shape form in front of her. it was the mask from her earlier dreams. Its feral grin sent shivers down her spine.
"Betrayal" she watched in horror as it spoke the single word.
"Wh-who was betrayed? What are you talking about?" she managed to choke out through the pain. She was surprised she could manage the question.
"You" again it only spoke one word that frightened and confused Nadeshiko even more the pain was now dull as she thought over what the mask said. 'Had she betrayed someone or had someone betrayed her?' she asked herself as she tried to ask the pain came back full force. She heard a scream that sounded like Midori. In an instant the mask began to dissolve and the darkness turned white.
She opened her eyes with a start. She looked around wincing at the pain in her head and she found herself outside. Several splintered boards lay around her. When she looked in the direction of the house she saw a gaping hole where she guessed she had been thrown though.
She heard a fierce roar of sorts and the ever familiar feeling of fear set in. The sound of her friend's voice though caused her to ignore that feeling and go to help them with whatever was inside. She went to stand wincing at the soreness in her bones. She went to her friends' aid as quickly as she could manage hobbling a bit at first till the stiffness in her muscles faded.
When she reached her wreaked home she couldn't believe what she saw a monster more than twice her size with mossy green skin and a mask like the one she saw in her dream except it was more fish like in looks and it was pure white. It held Midori in its web like claws. She hung limply like a rag doll.
Aoki lay on the floor there was a large gash across his chest and several smaller cuts on his arms and face and it looked like his head was cracked open as well. A puddle of blood was forming around his lifeless body.
In a rage she called on her power. The petals on her wrist scattered on her command and rained down on the hollow causing it to drop Midori. It let out another roar as it turned to face the new attacker.
"Ahh my tasty treat has come to me. You will be more filling then either of these two." It sneered at her in it mocking voice null of sympathy over anything it just did.
