Aiko: So now it's Inazuma, huh? *sweat drop* Well let's ignore her... Sakuchii had finally put herself together and managed to wrote the fourth chapter.
Sakuchii: kono te Ippai Ippai Ippai ni!
Yukiko: Hai Hai! Heard you already. *really angry* So, she's really sorry for taking so long to write this thing... It was kinda hard to start this chapter and think what she could stuff into this one chapter.
Aiko: Well as always Sakuchii doesn't own Inazuma Eleven or the charas on it... she only owns her OC's and all the other OC's belong to their rightful owners.
Sakuchii: HAII! Enjoy the chapter... ZETTAI PEACE!
AxY: *sweatdrop* yeah... enjoy the chapter!
Aiko: Oh and also the mysterious girls are finally revealed :D
Chapter Four: The Fortunetelling Shop
"Wait! Where are you going?" the crown prince shouted as he ran after the dark blue cloaked kid who turned in one of the corners. He didn't realise at all where he was taken to. Only after the boy opened one of the millions doors that the palace had and stopped to wait him, Atsuya noticed that he was at the abandoned wing of the castle.
"Comeh!" the dark-blue cloaked boy said and pointed inside the room, which was more like a hall and to where lead a stairway. The boy raised his head a little and the pink-haired prince met a pair teal-colored eyes. "They're are waitingh for us." he continued and turned to walk down the stairs.
Atsuya was about to ask "who are waiting?" but didn't have the chance, and just ended up following him. When entering the room, or more likely a hall, and getting down the stairs Atsuya noticed that it hadn't been used for a long time already. It was all dirty and you could see spiderwebs everywhere. Just when he thought that they were at the end of their way, the little kid opened another door, which lead them deeper into the wing.
"You sure we should go there?" Atsuya doubted that the idea was a good one, when entering the black hallway. The little boy glanced at him and a light smile escaped from his lips. "Onii-san is scared, right?" Atsuya turned to him with his face burning from anger.
"No I'm NOT!" he said angrily and stepped into the room. He was followed by the cloaked kid, who closed the door behind himself. He then took the torch that was next to the door and lighted it up. After that the kid started walk towards the next door, while the torch lightened the way for them, and Atsuya followed him.
The boys walked deeper and deeper inside the wing, with the little boy leading the way, while Atsuya walked right behind him. After many minutes of walking, they arrived at a big door. Fuusuke left the torch at the ground and opened the door. He then turned to Atsuya "Comeh, Yuki-nee is waitingh for us." he said and took the torch into his hands and walked into the room, Atsuya following right behind him.
As they walked deeper into the castles wing, the didn't know - or to correct Fuusuke knew, but Atsuya didn't - that someone else was coming to meet up with them from the opposite direction.
-OO-
"Where are we?" Shirou asked as he saw the little kid pointing at a small secret passage which would lead them to the palace and telling him to enter there. The crimson cloaked kid then entered it and Shirou followed him. The passage was really small and Shirou had problems to advance in it. In order to do that he had to crawl, and with his already numb hands it was especially hard.
Though, it seemed that the little kid didn't have any problems to walk there. The passage was really small, but just big enough for Haruya to be able to walk there. Only the top of his hood touched the passages top.
"So, where are you taking me to?" Shirou was curios for the reasons the boy wanted to take him to the castle. The boy just kept walking forward and once again ignored Shirous question. The gray-haired boy opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he was stopped by the kid.
"I cant'h thell yuu becuseh meh promised with baka-nee not to speak with strangers." the little kid finally answered with sour tone. His words made a smile escape from Shirous lips, after all he was already talking with him.
"Oh... So who is this baka-nee of yours?" the gray-haired boy asked as he finally made out of the passage and jumped into a room which wasn't so big, but it was all empty and dark. The only light source was the little torch that the cloaked kid was holding is.
"DON'T DAIRE to call her idiot!" the little kid blew up and this made Shirou to laugh a little. It was really funny to "chat" with this little kid like that. Actually it's been years since he talked so freely with someone, ever since... since Tsunakina left him. Shirou sighed loudly. The cloaked kid glanced at him and with a "folloawe meh" he started to walk towards the other side of the room. Shirou followed him closely, because he wasn't familiar with the place and didn't want to get separated.
"So who is this "Nee-san" you're talking about?" Shirou asked, choosing the right words and right tone to make sure that the little boy wont shout at him anymore. Haruya turned to him with a cold glare but still answered after turning back.
"Aiko-neesan is BAKA!" the boy answered angrily as he opened the door before them. Shirous eyes widened as he heard the name of the girl. He was sure that he had heard that name once before, and inside his head he could already create a blurry imagine of her, but something stopped him doing that. Why... Why couldn't he remember it?
"Aiko... Could she be?" Shirou asked still not able to remember where he had heard that name. It was years ago, but something was missing... It was like his memories of her had been erased. Thinking about this made him feel dizzy. Shirou stopped for a little and leaned against the wall.
"Don't call her by her first nameh!" Shirou turned to look at the little kid and saw the boy glaring at him with murderous face. What... if he couldn't call her Aiko or Baka, when what was he supposed to call her? This boy sure made things hard.
"So, she's special, right?" Shirou asked from the angry boy. He surely was overprotecting and when he saw the cheeks of the boy turning light crimson, he couldn't do anything but smile.
"AIKO IS BAKA! SHE'S A STUPID DICKHEAD!" Haruya shouted his anger out and then turned around and continued walking forward, while Shirou followed him. The crimson cloaked boy didn't realise that his words made earlier mentioned girl to sneeze.
-OO-
"ATCHOO!" sneezed a black cloaked girl as she opened the door of the fortunetelling shop and her home. She then rubbed her nose and entered.
"Oh, Crystal-sama, you're back." greeted a black haired boy as he took the little kid from the girl and placed him on the ground. When the little kid had his feet safely on the ground he quickly ran into one of the rooms and disappeared there. The girl took of her cloak and cursed few times while trying to dry her running nose and eyes with her sleeve.
"You're getting cold?" Osamu asked as he took the girls cloak and placed it on coat rack. Crystal glanced at him with her eyes flaming and took a deep breath in.
"No... I bet that Haruya is mad mouthing me again. I really hate when he does that, cuz my nose and eyes cannot stop running." the indigo-haired girl said.
"Burn-sama is only showing his love towards you, Crystal-sama" Osamu smiled at her and lead the girl into the living room where their guest was waiting for them. Crystal glanced at him with cold and long glare.
"He's a little kid, like he could love or even remember about me. And more over, please stop calling me by that stupid nick name, I do have a real name." Crystal answered with sour tone.
"As you wish, Aiko-sama." Osamu smiled at the indigo-haired girl.
"It's Ai-" the girl was about to start but then her eyes widened and she turned to the boy with stunned face "Wait- you just called me by my name"
"Yes, Aiko-sama." Osamu answered and entered to into the living room. Aiko followed him and though he had just called her by her real name, it seemed that she still wasn't satisfied.
'If only you would drop the -sama ending. I know that you are really sorry about the thing from six years ago and want to apologize for all the things you did to us, but calling us by -sama wont make us happy, not me, nor Yuki-chii. I just want the old and kind Osamu back, not the one who acts like our servant.' Aiko sighed and followed Osamu into the living room.
There for them was waiting a young girl who had messy ocean blue hair and her eyes were gold-colored. The girl stood up from her seat when she saw Aiko entering the room and bowed. Aiko answered to her with a bow and sat into the chair right opposite the girl. The gold-eyed girl too, sat up into her chair. Osamu walked into the kitchen and started to prepare for a tea.
Aiko waited till the living room was empty and only then started to speak. "So, Suzume Yumiko-san, what do you want?"
The gold-eyed girl stared at her with her eyes little widened. "Ho- How do you know my name?" she asked with a tone that she couldn't believe what she had just heard. Aiko let out a little laugh and then smiled.
"Of course I know. Could you call me a fortuneteller if I didn't know something as simple as that?" she asked from the girl. Actually Aiko had heard the girls name from Osamu just earlier, but she really liked to mess around with her costumers. It was so funny to deceive those poor people. Okay, now back to business.
"Oh, right." the girl then calmed down and cleared her through, "I came her to know about my future." she said with her golden eyes now totally serious. Aiko was first surprised about the seriousness of the girl, but then she smirked.
"Okay, wait a little" the indigo-haired girl said and closed her eyes. She took one deep breath and then an icy-blue aura surrounded her and her hair started to float in the air. Yumiko startled about this sudden mood change and was about reach towards the indigo-haired girl, but was stopped by a little hand.
Yukimo turned in surprise towards the little hand, and her eyes meet up with sparkling green ones. What she saw was a little red-haired boy who had a black tail swaying from right to left and a pair of black-colored cat ears on his head.
"Shh... Nee-san is working." the little kid smiled and let go of Yumiko's hand after what he ran out of the room leaving the gold-eyed girl all stunned sitting into the chair. By this time Aiko had already found the person she needed.
'Yuki-chii, you there?' She asked quietly, making sure that she wouldn't scare her younger sister with the sudden telepathy contact. Not long after her question, she got the answer from another indigo-haired girl who was inside the royal palace.
'Yeah sure! What do you need, Nee-san?' The other girl asked. She was in a big room, which was all lighted and had a dark green cloaked boy standing next to her. He stared at the older girl as he saw fiery-red aura starting to surround her.
'Oh right. We have a costumer. She around our age...' Aiko started explaining to her younger sister, but was cut off by the other girls question.
'Which one?' the dark cloaked girl asked from her older sister. Again with this question... what the hell is going on? Well, you'll know soon.
'The real one of course.' Aiko answered to her younger sister angrily and then continued, 'She wants to know her future, but before knowing that we...'
'...Have to know her past' Yuki-chii, or Yukiko as her full name was continued her sisters sentence and then closed her eyes and concentrated moving her mind to her older sisters body. Aiko took a deep breath and let her sisters mind become one with her own. Then she opened her eyes and two copper-colored eyes met with Yumiko's golden ones.
"Suzume Yumiko, fourteen. Your mother died some years ago and your father is ill, you have to work all day to feed him. You love making cakes, and you cell them to get some money. You have two younger siblings Akiye and Akiyo. And now you've come to us, because you want to make sure that your future will be a good one." the indigo-haired girl started to explain to Yumiko, but the girl was sure that she heard two voices talking. Yumikos eyes widened more and more with every word the other girl said. She wanted to know her future, but why and how did they know her past?
Then the indigo-haired girl closed her eyes and when opening them again the color had changed back to amber. "Am I right?" she then asked from Yumiko. The gold-eyed girl nodded lightly and it made a smile escape from Aikos lips. Actually this was the first time the girls had done this separately - not sitting next to each other - and they were happy that it was a success, because when doing something with long distance you cannot be 100% sure that you'll success.
"Okay, now for the future." Aiko said and took a hold of both Yumikos hands, she then closed her eyes and the icy-blue aura around her started to grow. Also there was a mix of fiery-red on it. The indigo-haired girl then opened her eyes and started to mumble something.
"Father, the power you gave to us,
we will always treasure it.
Mother, the sacrifice you made for us,
we will always remember it.
Brother, you're dear to us,
don't ever forget it.
Now, we ask for you to help us,
and show this girls future!"
After that Aikos whole body started to glow with mixed colors of icy-blue and fiery-red. She opened her eyes and for Yumikos surprise the indigo-haired girls right eye was amber-colored and the left eye was copper-colored. After many freaking slow minutes the light around Aiko started to fade away and she went back to normal and let go of Yumikos hands.
"So..." Yumiko asked shyly after the girl opened her eyes to look at her. Aiko stared at her with serious face but then she busted into laughter.
"It's okay really..." Aiko said between her laughs. "Let's just say that not long after this, you will meet a boy with whom you will fall in love. He's a cute boy with long blond-hair and red-colored eyes. You could mistake him for a girl that's for sure. You first won't get really great picture of him, because he's a prince of another country, but later on you will fall for him, that's for sure." the indigo-haired girl got her seriousness back and stared at Yumiko with her eyes drilled into the other girls.
Yumiko didn't like this stare of hers, but what she really didn't like was the words of the girl. All of a sudden she busted into laugher. "Me? Fall in love with prince, Oh please don't joke! Like that would ever happen." she laughed and then stood up while sighing, "I really thought that I would know something new from it, but it seems that I was just wasting my time." Yumiko walked towards the door, where Osamu was waiting to give her cloak to her.
Aiko followed her and ignored her insults while grinning. The girl made a big mistake for not listening to her, because never, not even once their fortune had gone wrong. Even if... Even if in this body, they still had some of their powers left. "Let me warn you one thing..." the indigo-haired girl said as Yumiko was about to leave.
"...It's not all about classes" Aiko smirked. Yumiko let out a smile and left with "I'll keep that in my mind." Aiko stared as Yumiko closed the door and when being alone with Osamu she sighed.
'She wasn't the one we needed, but it seems that that stupid blond just got himself a girl.' she heard her younger sister pointing out. Yukiko's comment made her smile.
'Yeah, you're right. But we need to find her "The thousand generation child" if we want to change the future of those two.'
'You're right. I'm pretty sure we don't need to worry about finding her. They are destined to meet each other, or what do you think?' Yukiko asked from her older sister.
'I have to agree with you, Yuki-chii. I really hope that we can change the destiny. I don't want that thing to happen ever again.' Aiko answered to her sister, while she felt goosebumps going through her whole body and her voice starting to shiver.
'It's okay. I'm sure that this time we will make it on time. This time everyone will be safe and no one has to sacrifice himself. Not like six years ago' Yukiko comforted her older sister, though she didn't feel herself so good when she thought about what had happened six years ago.
'Yeah' Aiko smiled lightly, but somewhere inside her she felt that things wouldn't be so easy to them.
'Ah!' she suddenly heard her sister shouting. 'I'm really sorry, but it seems that those guys are already here. Sorry but I have to cut this conversation.' Yukiko said. Aiko answered with an "okay" and all of sudden the conversation was over.
"Phlox-nee" the dark-green cloaked boy called when Yukiko had gone off of her trance state. Yukiko turned to the little kid. "What is it, Ryuu-kun?" she smiled. The cloaked boy raised his head to look at the older girl and then opened his mouth to speak.
"They're here! Burn-sama and Gazel-sama are here!" he smiled happily. Yukiko closed her eyes to listen, and a smiled when she heard steps coming closer to where they were standing and two familiar voices shouting angrily. She then took the little kid into her lap and patted his head.
"You're right. Now remember... When they come into the room we have to be silent and not move until Haruya and Fuusuke are in the middle of the room. Then you use your powers to get us out of here, understood?" Yukiko explained to the little kid and he smiled happily while nodding his head. "Good."
"Burn-sama and Gazel-sama are doing their part, so I'll do my best to fulfill meh part." the little kid assured proudly. Yukiko laughed at the little boys assuring. She quickly stopped when both of the rooms doors in opposite directions opened at the same time.
"Just how many more rooms we're going to enter?" she heard a pink-haired boy asking angrily from her left as he followed Fuusuke into the room. Just by his clothes you would realise that he was the crown-prince.
"So, you really do like her." laughed a gray-haired boy from her right as he followed Haruya into the room. His clothes were all torn off and dirty. Even without asking you would know that he iwas peasant... wait? Was his family merchant class? Now, something is really off.
Yukiko turned her glance for side to side and kept mumbling something into Ruuyjis ears. "Not yet, not yet, not yet."
Also if you're wonder why the boys still hadn't realised the other one who is coming, it is because Yukiko had created an illusion wall between them and both sides saw that the other side was empty. Yukiko was able to be in the room and saw both of the sides because she had created a third wall which made her invisible, but still allowed her to see the other sides. This is also why "right in the middle" was really important, because after leaving the palace, the room would change back to normal, and it would be a big problem if the timing was off.
"Not yet, not yet, not yet..." she continued mumbling as the boys walked closer into the middle "Not yet, not yet... NOW!" she finally shouted when they boys were in the middle of the room. Ruuyji, who had closed his eyes, opened them and the hood on him felled why showing two long, white-colored ears.
"SHU-IDO!" he shouted. All of a sudden bright light appeared taking Yukiko together with Ruuyji, Haruya, Fuusuke inside it leaving Shirou and Atsuya outside. Also the illusion walls disappeared and the two boys could finally see each other, though the change was so sudden that they crashed on each other.
"PAM!" was the only sound that could've been heard in the royal palaces old abandoned wing.
My storytelling about the Yukidamura is over for now, but before ending this chapter I would like you guys to know about something that happened around the same time as the prince and the pauper met each other somewhere far away from the capital. You might think that it isn't important to know something that doesn't happen in the main stage, but this is more important than you would think.
So now our place changes to Sekka, a little town far, far, far away from the capital city, where we can see one person walking in the lonely and abandoned streets of the towns. She was wearing sepia colored cloak and was breathing heavily. People around her avoided this stranger, because in Sekka there wasn't many of them.
This girl arrived at a big house with was almost in the middle of the little town, and it owned the towns most richest family. The girl took a deep breath and blew on her hands because they were cold of the weather. Though it was almost summer, in Sekka the snow was still on the ground. It was really famous for being a snow town, and that's why there weren't many people who lived in the town.
When the girls hands were a little warmer she lightly knocked the door. After that she took off her hood so that her face was seen. Her skin was a pale as snow, though her cheeks burned red like apple. Her eyes were dark brown colored and her blond shoulder length hair was perfect match with them. The girl back off a little and stood there for someone to open the door.
Midorikawa Mai, usually called Mai-chan by her friends, sat inside her room and tried to read some book that her mother had bought for her. Yes, she tried to read, because her mind was faraway from the books text. To tell the truth she hadn't been able to act like normal, and be herself since that day. Since the she had heard that her brother, Midorikawa Ruuyji had died. What made the things more complicated was the sudden move of her neighbor Kazemaru Ichirota.
All of a sudden the black-haired girl who had her hair tied up on high ponytail heard a shout from the downstairs. "Mai, please open the door." her mother shouted. Mai sighed and left the book open on her table and opened her rooms door. She went down the stairs and walked towards the front door.
'Probably one of those husband candidates. It's the fourth one this week.' Mai thought in boredom an opened the door. She was about to say that the person waiting outside should go away, but stopped herself when her black-colored eyes met with dark brown ones.
"Ha- Hana-chan?" she asked stammering. The blonde-haired girl before her smiled lightly at her reaction.
"Long time no see, Mai-tan."
Aiko: BUAHAHAHEE! YES! I can finally tell this! We're the mysterious girls... surprised... shouldn't be! After all we've been with you guys the whole time...
Yukiko: Man, now she's all hyper, just like our writer... btw, didn't you have something to say, Saku-chan?
Sakuchii: Oh right! I'm really sorry to take so long for some of your OC's to appear... I just want to keep the pace somewhat natural... I mean I cannot have like 20 people all of sudden, on the same day coming to see the prince or moving to the city or wanting to know their future, I mean that's unreal... Of course I don't hate those kind of stories, but please bear with me. I think that I manage to (at least) introduce them all till the tenth chapter.
Aiko: Hai! That's for it now, and please review so that Sakuchii will know what you thought about this chapter
IE cast: Mattanee!
