18 september: Oh boy the time flies.. I'll get to go to Japan soon. o___o Anyway, enjoy!
Soraya opened her mouth but Ryudo stopped her since he knew what she was about to ask. “And what comes to my ex-girlfriends”, he said, “I’m no fool or traitor Soraya, but I seriously had no idea that we’d meet again. Of course, I would’ve never fogotten you, but I had lost hope. Why save myself for someone I would never meet, I thought. Being all alone had already made me a little insane. I couldn’t even enter other worlds in my dreams since I was so worried and sad.” Soraya thought about these words. She had never lost hope, at least, she had not felt like losing. “Worried about what?” she asked, “That you’d die alone?” “Exactly.” She shook her head and smiled. Ryudo must’ve been so desperate trying to get a permanent girlfriend. Soraya looked at the road and that’s when she noticed someone standing in the middle of it. Ryudo noticed it too and stopped his bike at the very last moment. It was another familiar face. “Well well well”, spoke the dark figure who was wearing an Akatsuki cape, “If it isn’t my dearest rival, Ryudo?” Soraya and Ryudo got off the bike and looked at the man who soon revealed his face. It was Deidara, the annoying guy with blond hair and an insane smirk on his lips. So he was an intruder, perhaps an intruder that was after Ryudo, since Ryudo had always hated him. Soraya’s alter-ego remembered well the feeling of two guys fighting over her heart, and so, controlled by her inner Hyuuga, she leaned against the bike, enjoying the up coming battle. “Oh, Deidara”, Ryudo sighed, “How many times do I have to kill you, man?” “Someone like you can’t kill me”, Deidara chuckled, “You’re not powerful enough. Though in Hayate’s tournament, you were quite impressing. But unlike you, I would’ve at least resign in front of my own girl.” Soraya rolled her eyes. The tournament had been very hard for her, not physically, but mentally. Her inner Hyuuga and her inner Nakagawa had been fighting, and together they had become something else. Something that Soraya could only become in her homeworld; a cry baby. “I was mad back then”, Ryudo grunted, “What happened between me and Soraya is none of your business.” “Oh? Think so? Wasn’t I the guy who helped her to get closer Koruam?” Deidara grinned. “No”, Soraya said, “You were just another stupid Akatsuki member I fooled. You had no role in my past, not even now.” Deidara gave Soraya an angry look, she had hit his sensitive spot by using her alter-ego. But he didn’t care, the Hyuuga wasn’t his target now. Ryudo was. “You should hurry and wake up that alter-ego of yours, Tsukamoto-kun”, Deidara teased and snickered, “Right now you’re just an average japanese brat, you won’t be able to hit me.” Soraya looked at Ryudo now. There was no way he would be able to transform himself into his Sruïsuv form in such small time. Deidara would have enough time to figure a way to handle him and then move towards Soraya, trying to brainwash her. She was wondering if she could help, if she would now let the Hyuuga’s trump card out, could she ever return to her normal self? Ryudo hadn’t moved a muscle. Something had to be done and quickly. Soraya decided to take the risk. But how to get her inner Hyuuga out? Clearing her mind could help, even a little. The rest would depend on her alter-ego’s evil plans. She just hoped the Hyuuga wouldn’t do much damage. Soraya closed her eyes and cleared her mind. She felt like the ground under her feet would disappeared and she would fall into… nowhere. But in reality, her normal side just fell asleep. And the Hyuuga was finally out.

19 spetember: To tell you the truth, I'm worried about these forums. I don't want them to die. Ganbatte minna. ^__^ Enjoy, long part.
Chapter 5 ~ A monster
Deidara noticed that Soraya was acting a little strangely. She looked down so he was unable to see her face. She was suddenly quite silent aswell. Ryudo noticed where Deidara stared and turned to look at his girlfriend. Soraya looked up, insanely smiling. “Yes! I’m finally out here!” she yelled. “Oh, I see”, Deidara smirked, “So you decided to fight for Ryudo?” Soraya turned to look at the blond Akatsuki man and he backed down a little. That stare was too familiar to him. That stare meant ‘I-am-going-to-kick-your-butt-now’ for Deidara. Ryudo didn’t know how to react to this, but he did feel how his alter-ego was waking up after seeing Soraya’s wicked smile. “Yes, that’s right”, Soraya said, “I want to see blood again and kill! Deidara… You are my first prey. And this is… your last chance to escape from me!” The Akatsuki member snorted. This was bad, very bad indeed. Soraya Hyuuga had gone completely insane after being trapped inside Soraya Nakagawa. She had not been used, and she had not seen Cresteia and her comrades for a while. It had been too much for her. And now, she was not just a typical self-confident naughty girl. She was way more than that. “Byakugan!” Soraya shouted and it worked. She could once again see the weak spots of her opponent. She took her positions. Fighting was like a drug for her in that situation; the more she fought, the more she wanted to kill and the stronger she got. Deidara had prepared his first bomb and knew it would be risky to throw them ina big city like Tokyo. But he certainly did not care, this was just another world, and she was against Soraya. There was no time to lose. Ryudo stepped in front of Soraya. “Snap out of it my love”, he said, “We don’t have to fight him.” “Ahaha!” Soraya laughed, “Of course we don’t HAVE to fight him darling. But you see, I WANT to fight him. So step aside.” Ryudo’s alter-ego listened to Soraya Hyuuga’s voice and he stepped aside, leaving the battle to her. Deidara threw his first bomb, but knew it would’t work since he already heard Soraya shout ‘Kaiten’, which dodged the bomb. Soraya ran quickly towards him and was about to perform her well known One Thousand Eight-Two Palms. Deidara didn’t even have time to dodge, since the girl was in full berserk mode. He stumbled back and coughed blood, just like Ryudo had in the tournament. “Just as strong as always”, he grinned weakly, “Looks like I would need an army to get you down. Koruam’s army. Yes! Wouldn’t that be so ironic? Standing in the middle of the desert, facing all alone Koruam’s army.” “Don’t give me that kind of crap”, Soraya hissed, “I’d beat his army. I am stronger than he is!” Deidara threw another bomb but again Soraya shouted ‘Kaiten’ before the bomb could reached her. “Crap? No!” Deidara laughed and changed his positions, “I’ve seen your future. And I see you alone, facing that army.” “Good then!” Soraya yelled and started attacking Deidara, “The more I see blood, the happier I become!” Once again the Akatsuki member had to cough blood. What an unfair battle, he thought, what was I thinking, going against her alone? I should’ve remembered that no living man could ever beat her without reinforcements. Deidara bit his lip and watched Soraya moving from place to place with a high speed, obviously trying to confuse him. “You fight very well”, Deidara grinned, “Almost as well as Yuuki Hyuuga.” Soraya stopped when hearing this name. Deidara had finally found her sensitive spot; Yuuki of the Hyuuga.
‘I never really thought about my family. They were just normal people to me, who were there, taking care of me. Well, not really taking care but making me feel at least a little comfortable in my little cell. In our house, lived everyone from my family. No one was ever left behind, not even me. There was my mother, Alessa and my father Kazuo. I never really called them ‘mom’ or ‘dad’, either Alessa-senpai or Kazuo-senpai. Why? I can’t remember, I was a little girl back then. There was also my uncle, Shisui-sama, who taught me everything I had to know about my Byakugan. He was very important to me, and was killed by Itachi Uchiha. I heard they were friends, best friends actually. It felt so unreal. Bad and good could never be friends. My aunt, Suphia, was a kunoichi. Alessa and she were rivals, at least, that’s what I thought. Suphia had one daughter, her name was Carina. Carina and I hated each other, and never really get to know each other. There’s not much I can say about her, except that I could hear her cry every night.

19 september
It was probably because she missed her father who had gone to war. He never came back, and that’s why I can’t remember his name. Shisui did have a wife, but they didn’t get along so well. She was Mimiko, a very beautiful woman who seemed to understand me. I liked Mimiko a lot, and she taught me a few interesting things about fighting. It was thanks to her that I learned to use my super speed, and discovered it thanks to her. However, Mimiko and Shisui had one daughter and one son. Their daughter, Mya, was a friend of Neji. That’s how we met, and that’s how Neji became part of the family. Mimiko adopted him from the streets. I was free to love him since no one ever thought him as my cousin. Except Shisui. Mimiko’s son was Yuuki Hyuuga, a person who was the first one to completely ruin my life. He was much like me; a remarkable martial artist with talents, stubborn and over self-confident. That’s why we didn’t get along, we were too much alike. Still, I think we both fell in love. Yuuki even confessed that. I was more than happy to hear that someone actually cared about me. He invited me to meet him after fighting classes in the garden. So after Shisui had gone inside, I snuck out and ran to the garden. Yuuki was waiting for me at a sakura tree, but before I could reach him, I noticed he was with another girl. I didn’t know how to react, so I simply ran away. That was the day I became what I am now, that was the day I understood that men could never be trusted since they are creatures with no feelings. And that I should never love again. And that I should never dream about loving again.’
“Yuuki…” Soraya whispered and licked her lips, “I remember him well. Unfortunately. I also remember how I made him suffer and how I gave him a slow death.” Deidara backed down a little. She had been there when Soraya had killed her family, and it had not been a pretty scene. Bloody dead bodies everywhere, an 8 years old little girl laughing insanely while cutting and slashing with her katana. Blood had been like a drug to her and she had wanted to see more of that red liquid. Her eyes had shined in an insane way, she had been far away from that Soraya Nakagawa she used to be in her homeworld. Blood looked so beautiful in her eyes, tasted so sweet on her lips and that’s why no one had been able to stop her. “You were an insane child back then”, the Akatsuki member said. “Everyone have their wild days”, Soraya giggled, “Didn’t I tell you, that I am a monster?” Ryudo was a bit shocked about all this information. He looked like he had not known all this, like he had not known that the cute Soraya Hyuuga was anything but cute from the inside. Deidara noticed this in Ryudo and smirked. “You really have fooled everyone around you missy”, he said, “In these days, and even back then, it was kinda hard to understood if you were on Akatsuki’s side. But now I wonder… On whose side are you anyway? You’ve screwed up with us and with Koruam and with everyone.”

20 september: Good evening dear passangers! Welcome to the flight AY1313 of Cresteia. Please make sure your seat belt is fastened and that your cabin luggage is under the seat right in front of you. Please remember that all our flights are non-smoking and that we only offer soft drinks. Please enjoy the flight!
Soraya smiled and imprisoned Deidara into her insane gaze. She licked her lips once again to taste blood and took her battle postions. “Who knows Dee, who knows”, she smirked, “I admit, I do not serve Hayate and neither Koruam. Only I know my meaning, and that is enough.” Ryudo’s eyes widened when hearing this sentence. Her beloved Soraya wasn’t on Koruam’s side after all? What was going on? Was HE himself on the right side? And more importantly, what were the sides and on whose side was Soraya Hyuuga? “Oh, you sure know how to be mysterious”, Deidara commented, “I like that. I hope we’ll meet soon cutie, but now… I need to retreat!” The Akatsuki member disappeared into thin air and Soraya sighed. She relaxed and looked at Ryudo, who looked back at her. Rain had gotten even worst and Soraya’s clothes were completely wet. “What was that all about?” Ryudo asked, “I thought you were on our side.” The Hyuuga looked away. She didn’t want to answer, not to Ryudo. And certainly not to Koruam. The boy walked to her, grabbed her from her shoulders and made her look at him. “Answer me Soraya!” Soraya looked into Ryudo’s eyes and could see something very familiar. A certain undead who had loved her, then hated her and then missed her. She didn’t know what to say or to do. Should she just tell the truth, or lie and tell a sugar coated version of the truth? Either way, Ryudo’s reaction would be bad. “You took from me”, Soraya whispered, “The only thing I’ve ever wanted.” “And what’s that?” Ryudo asked slowly. The girl looked down and bit her lip. Her alter-ego was quickly fading away, and the usual Soraya came back, forgetting all about her violent thoughts. Then, she looked up to Ryudo. “Perfectness and power.”
Chapter 6 ~ Destinies
Soraya opened her eyes and felt warm. She wasn’t outside anymore, apparently Ryudo had reached her house. She was in her own room, and according to the clock, it was 3 or 4 in the morning. Last night remained as a blurry short movie in her mind, but she did remember fighting Deidara, telling Ryudo something important and then nothing. The others were probably sleeping, and she was wondering where Kenta was. That’s when she remembered that the boy didn’t have the keys to his house and started to get even more worried. Hopefully he had not gotten drunk after Mimura’s party. Soraya got up noticed that someone had changed her clothes. She blushed. “RYUDO!” she screamed with all she had and felt humiliated. Soraya ran downstairs and bumped into Koruam. “What’s wrong?” he asked, “Don’t scream like that, Norhoz and Ryudo are sleeping.” “That idiot changed my clothes”, Soraya hissed, “I hope he only changed my clothes, nothing else.” Koruam gave him a look that Soraya rarely saw. If that look would turn into a sentence, it would probably sound something like ‘shame on you!’. I guess he didn’t think Ryudo as a pervert and Soraya had to agree, her lover was not that kind of person, no one was. “We talked with Ryudo”, Koruam sighed, “I’m really disappointed to hear that you aren’t on our side.” “I’m sorry”, Soraya whispered, “Are you going to kill me in Cresteia?” The blue-haired man shook his head and walked upstairs, asking Soraya to follow him. She obeyd him and went upstairs with him. Ryudo was sleeping in Saku’s room, and his clothes still seemed to be wet from last night. It looked like he would’ve just jumped on the bed and fell asleep. Norhoz was quietly sleeping in Soraya’s mother’s room, along with his books. “You didn’t sleep?” Soraya asked. “Of course I did”, Koruam grunted, “I slept next to you.” Soraya’s chin dropped down and luckily her master didn’t see that. People sure were interesting there, first they changed her clothes and then she slept next to her master. Great. What next, Norhoz had taken shower with her? “Very funny”, Koruam commented when he saw Soraya’s face, “No offence but japanese high school girls aren’t really my type.” He entered Soraya’s room and walked to her desk. Koruam grabbed a black book from the table and showed it to her. “Oh my god”, Soraya let out, “That’s the book Gevvu gave me! How did you get it?” “Norhoz found it while looking for new clothes for you”, he said, “It was in that small and old closet in the corner of the hallway. Along with your cute soft toy collection.” Now it was Soraya’s turn to look angry. She said that Koruam could never understand teenage girls since he was hanging with guys like Norhoz. He should listen to Ryudo a bit more, Soraya thought while also thinking about her sweet plushie collection. Koruam handed her the book and she took it carefully. It was exactly the same as in Cresteia, the letters were in it and so on. The strange thing was, that there was no signs of the ripped pages. She had ripped off a few pages when realising that Ryudo had cheated on her. Well, in the end it had only been one of Hayate’s sick lies but she really, really, really had believed it. Ryudo was kinda the type of person to fall for many girls. “I know what you’re thinking”, Koruam said, “About Ryudo.” “Yeah, sorry. After Yuuki I’m so afraid to be left alone again.” “Yuuki?”
// Dear passangers, we have just landed in Eesgo's airport. Please wait for the seat belt fastening light to go out. We thank you for choosing Cresteia Airlines and we hope you will have a nice holiday. Thank you! //

21 september: Something terrible just happened between my two friends. I'm having a hard time trying to solve this double trouble. Please forgive me if I don't feel like posting parts too often. >___<
Soraya told her master about Yuuki. It was amazing how Koruam actually listened to her love stories. So weird, she thought and finished her story. “Ah, I see”, Koruam sighed, “Well, once again, Ryudo is not that type. I’ve known him for a long time, he used to be like me once. But I guess our roles changed.” Now Koruam told her a story, back from Eesgo. A story about him and Ryudo. Soraya sat down to listen.
Koruam was a madman... he thought back at the ancient history that occured to him and his old friend. It was all the way back to where they where both 14 years old. He was still mortal and Ryudo still alive. The hot sun was burning on the capital of Shadoga: Waajgtreg. Ryudo and Koruam didn't know each other at that point but the both served the king in the Shadogan army. Ryudo was the second hand of a general and Koruam was still an officer. Koruam's mother: Hzguo was proud of her son being so high ranked at such a young age. His father was dead for as long as he remembered and his brother Efaut was a blacksmith to earn the cost of the family. Koruam loved his mother and his brother and he wished to make them happy in any way, he also wanted to help his brother earning money. Koruam fought in a campaign against the ice hunters where he first met Ryudo. Koruam was a sweet and innocent child but Ryudo was a cruel and hard kid. The two became friends and Koruam started to act like Ryudo. His mother didn't like the new Koruam but because of this change he became a general at 16, while Ryudo was still a second hand of the General. 6 years went by and Hzguo was sad by the cruel tyrant that Ryudo made him into. Ryudo changed as well, he become more soft like Koruam was before and he became a true casanova. Koruam remembered everything that followed the next few weeks... it was to become a scar for the rest of his long life. It was time to face the ice hunters again, Koruam set out his army and together with Ryudo they fought bravely against the hunters. Untill Ryudo got killed by one of their elites. Koruam went berserk and killed every single Ice hunter that was still alive. This eventually led to the legendary curse that the witch Kuevde cast upon him... the curse of immortality. After this he returned to Waajgtreg with the body of Ryudo in his arms. He burried him in an honorable grave and he told his mother and brother what happened to him. He brought them many riches from Critatical where they fought. His mother exepted this gift and his brother didn't have to work again. Koruam set up his plans to erradicate the Gods from their world and he strived to revive Ryudo at all cost. His mother, afraid of what the Gods might do to them, decided to flee from her son's wrath against the Gods. She and her oldest son Efaut fled to what is now known as Tepisue, the land of eternal ice. Koruam had never found them, he couldn't revive them after such a long time because they died a natural death. He was broken, he lost a friend that day and his family. But he gained immortality... he was happy about that.... for now. This text was posted in the School of the Imaginary, Chapter 1, page 20, post 1, on May 10th 2007 by Koruam. Thankies, huggies and credits to him.
“You now what master?” Soraya said suddenly, “I would be happy to be immortal. I think life is too short.” Koruam looked at her for a long time.

23 september: Gomen nasai... Yesterday I was busy with two other forums and today I've been working like crazy for my math test and for the forums. So super short part, full of mistakes. xD
She seemed to be quite serious about her words. The blue-haired sighed. “You say that, but you have no idea what it feels like”, Koruam said. “I can imagine”, the girl answered and grinned, “Besides, doesn’t imagination always conquer reality?” Her master didn’t say anything to this. He would give anything to be as mortal as Soraya was. And Soraya on the other hand, would give anything to live forever like Koruam did. Too bad that changing alter-egos was not possible, and besides, Koruam wasn’t too excited about having a female ego. I guess Soraya didn’t care about that, since she had her boyish sides. “Well, anyway”, Soraya started, “We need to find three sleepers, Amy, Kaito and Aishe.” She walked to her desk and took the scroll where the names were. Aaron Immortal White, Nate Knowledge Watson, Soraya Loyalty Nakagawa, Ryoo Loveless Tsukamoto. Then there was Kaito. But time wqas running out, at least, that’s how Soraya felt. Her brother was still missing and Hayate had not revealed himself. Even Deidara had disappeared last night leaving no signs. They would have to split up to make everything in time. Later that morning, Ryudo and Norhoz woke up. Soraya argued with her lover for ten minutes, but then gave up when he started going soft on her. Finally, when they had eaten breakfast and Soraya was ready for her schoolday, they decided to make a plan to get the remaining sleepers and Saku. “Let’s split up”, said Soraya, “I need to go after my brother.” “Alright”, Koruam said, “I’ll work with Tsukamoto-kun.” Ryudo rolled his eyes. “Sorry old friend”, he said, “I want to stay next to my beloved Soraya.” “No”, Soraya said loudly, “I mean, we’re running out of time here. Everyone needs to find one sleeper. Norhoz, you can look for Aishe, since you knew her. Didn’t you?” Norhoz blushed and put his books away. For Koruam it was annoying that Soraya gave the orders, but he had to let her do that, just this one time. In Cresteia, he would surely take back his positions and make sure Soraya wouldn’t boss around anymore. “Koruam, you can go after Amy”, Soraya said, “She’ll recognise you. Who wouldn’t…” “Yeah, I’m still carrying a grudge for that hair dye you brought for me”, Koruam rolled his eyes, “Sure, I’ll find her.” Soraya thought about Kaito. Her alter-ego wanted to find Kaito herself, but her real self wanted to put Saku on the first place. She didn’t know what to do. Taking Ryudo with her could be risky, if their alter-egos would suddenly wake up, then nothing could stop them. She took a deep breath and looked at her lover. “Alright, Ryudo”, Soraya said, “You’ll come with me, and we’ll look for Kaito Higura and for my brother.” “Yay!”

23 september: A gift for my cute friends. Yes, I pulled myself together and finished to wrote this. Super long part coming up.
Koruam and Norhoz stayed at Soraya’s house that day aswell, but Ryudo wanted to follow her to her school. She almost felt like skipping school now that she had better things to do than to just listen to the teachers. Kenta was at school aswell, he seemed alright, and said that he had managed to get home last night. “It was awesome!” he shouted, “The first time I was drunk!” Soraya gave her a weird look while Ryudo was planning on picking on a tough looking guy. “Okay, maybe it wasn’t that great”, Kenta sighed, “But hey, what’s going on between you and Tsukamoto-san? Are you officially together?” “Yeah”, Soraya answered and opened her locker, “It was love at first sight.” Kenta shook his head and smiled while opening his locker aswell. Then he complained about his nightmares again, that he couldn’t sleep and kept seeing the same dream over and over again. He mentioned that he was kinda missing the two girls from Mimura’s party; May and Alyssa. “Why didn’t you ask for their cellphone numbers?” Soraya asked, “Seriously, you are a real baka. It’s so simple and someone like you doesn’t get it.” “Hey hey”, Kenta closed his locker, “I didn’t have the guts. Besides, I prefer to be a gentleman.” Soraya blinked her eyes a few times and then turned to look at Ryudo. He stood next to her, like he would’ve never beaten the tough looking guy who was know on his way to the school nurse. “Listen, Kenta”, Soraya started and looked down, “I’ve lied to you… About Saku. He hasn’t been home for two or three days now!” “What?!” Kenta grabbed Soraya from her shoulders, “Why didn’t you tell me! I’m your friend! Why, I ask, why!” “Stop doing that”, Ryudo said and pushed Kenta away from Soraya, “So what if she didn’t tell you. You got a problem with that?” His girlfriend, however, raised her hand as a sign for him to stop. She looked at Kenta, who was as shocked as she had been a day ago. “We need to find him Soraya”, he said, “Do you have any idea where he could be?” “Just stay out of this Kenta”, his friend answered, “You wouldn’t understand.” The boy walked to her and shook his head. “No, you don’t even know the half of me”, he said, “I’ll believe you. And I’ll help you. I promise.” Soraya and Ryudo looked at each other. Both of them were hesitating; Kenta was just a normal person, he could never understand what a sleeper was. But since he wasnted to help them so badly, they didn’t really have a choice but to agree. That day, both of them skipped school, to find Sakun. And of course, to find out where Kaito could be. But Soraya had no idea where to look for and what could describe him the most. Gentle? It had not worked. If only Amy would be there, she would surely know what word would describe him. That’s when she started thinking about Amy. She had been her best friend in Cresteia, and only now, Soraya realised how much she actually missed her. Amy always had liked Gaara, but Gaara wasn’t a sleeper… What was he then? She shook her head. No time to think about that. That’s when she heard a familiar voice in her head; Ferago’s voice. “Gaara, Chi, Karakuri, Urza and the others are summoners”, he said, “They summon the dreamers into their world, but do not know about it.” Of course, Soraya thought and smiled a little while she was walking towards Yamanote with the two boys, dreamers, intruders and summoners. Was there anything more she needed to know about the matter? Her thoughts stopped once again to Amy and Kaito. The thing that had annoyed her was that Amy had liked Kaito a little too much. Gaara had been jealous of that. A real love triangle, Soraya thought. They entered Yamanote together and she kept an eye on Ryudo. What about him? Why had he been an undead? There was so many questions and so little answers. And so little time! She couldn’t ask about it now, that Kenta was around, he would think that they were both insane and run away. They got off in Harajuku and decided to take a walk in Yoyogi park. “Saku just disappeared”, Soraya said to Kenta, “I don’t know where and why but I feel weird… Like he’s in a danger.” “This reminds me of that dream”, Kenta sighed, “I didn’t tell you right? The dream where I helped a young girl, Lady Sorel to get her friend back.” Soraya’s heart stopped, aswell as Ryudo’s. “Lady… Sorel?” Soraya repeated, “You like her don’t you?” Kenta looked at Soraya and blushed a little. There was a long silence and they looked at each other, trying to understand what was going on. “Lady Soraya”, Kenta whispered, “Is that you?” Before Kenta could say anything else, Soraya slapped him. Ryudo tried not to laugh at this. “You were always on my way”, Soraya grunted, “Welcome back Kaito-kun, this is Ryudo.” “You didn’t have to slap me like that”, Kaito sighed, “And it wasn’t my fault that you were Infenyte’s subordinate. Please don’t slap me again.”

The black haired girl sighed and looked pissed off. Kaito had been under her nose all this time, could she get any more pathethic? Her alter-ego seemed angry aswell, and wanted to slap Kaito again. But it wasn’t his fault. “Kaito-kun”, Soraya said, “We’re looking for Amy and Aishe now. We’ve already found Koruam and Norhoz. You saw them last night. My twinbrother Saku has been abducted by an Akatsuki member. Do you remember them?” “Yes.” Ryudo told Kaito everything that had happened this far, and what was their goal. Our goal, Soraya thought, to go back to Cresteia right? But to be honest, that wasn’t what she wanted, for a long time, she had wanted to travel together with Koruam, Ryudo and Norhozn in Eesgo. Once they would arrive in Cresteia, she could ask her master if they could take her with them. She opened her bag and took the familiar scroll inside it. Kaito’s name had appeared there; Kenta Courage Tsuchiya. “You’re courage”, Ryudo said, “I envy you.” “Oh come on”, Soraya grinned, “Your name is way cooler anyway.” “Yeah”, Kaito smiled, “Why should you complain, Ryudo? You got the girl.” Ryudo snickered and kissed Soraya’s head. “True. Back on topic, shouldn’t we look for your brother now?” Soraya nodded to him. That’s when her cellphone rang and she answered to it. “Moshi moshi”, she said, “Koruam? Gosh, where are you, I can’t hear you that well. Paris?! Did you use that chalk without me? I see, so Norhoz did it. Why are you in Paris anyway? What? Are you serious?” She put her cellphone away and looked at the two boys. “Koruam found Amy”, she said, “Her name is May Norton, that famous french pianist! We’re off to Paris now, Koruam said she’s having a concert there tomorrow.” Both Ryudo and Kenta looked at her confused and asked how Koruam had managed to get to Paris in just a few hours. Soraya smiled at them, and said that they would soon experience what imagination could really do.

26 september: WARNING --> IF YOU HATE ROMANCE, DON'T READ THIS PART. x__x'
Chapter 7 ~ Lady Sorel and Sir Kaito
May Norton was practising her piano song for the competition that would take place that night. She wanted to win so badly, that she had been going to her lessons everyday in one week and even skipped school a little. Piano, was more than just a hobby for her; she felt like every object around her would come a live while she was playing. May had played the piano for 14 years, and she was 17. It was her life. Her dad didn’t like her hobby, since she had been very talented in rapier. But May doubted her skills, she always felt like she wasn’t good enough. Like she would be incredibly weak. “May! Can you come here for a second please?” She left her piano and walked towards the living room of her mansion. Yes, she did live in a mansion, since her father was rich. But she was all alone always, so what was the point in having everything except friends? That bothered her very much. “Yes?” May asked. Her father was standing at the window and looking outside. “Tonight, you have that competition right?” he asked and May nodded, “I’m sorry May, but I can’t make it there.” “What?! Dad! But you promised you’d be there!” the red haired girl shouted, “You won’t be there to hear my play…” “I have more important things to do than to listen to your piano songs”, her father said strictly, “Don’t forget that it is thanks to my enthusiasm at work that we have all this.” What ‘all this’? She didn’t have any friends, only a growing mountain of cold and lifeless porcelain dolls, expensive clothing and other junk. May’s father thought they were rich, but in reality, they were quite poor. “I understand”, May answered and looked down, “Have a nice evening at work.” After this, she walked back to her piano and continued playing. But for who would she play her song now, that her father wasn’t coming?
Soraya was sitting on a hotel bed and writing into her diary once again. Ryudo was there aswell, while Kaito, Koruam and Norhoz had their own rooms. He was watching out of the window, and asking questions such as ‘what is your favourite color’, ‘what is your favourite ice cream flavor’ and ‘do you like cheese’. “Black, chocolate and no”, Soraya answered, “Listen, I’ve got a question for you.” Ryudo turned to look at her. He seemed interested. “Our alter-egos should be about the same as we are now”, Soraya said, “Why were you an undead in Cresteia?” Her lover grinned and said that he had guessed that she would ask about that sooner or later. “I’m bad in explaining”, Ryudo sighed, “But to put it in a simple sentence; I’m dead inside.” “Okay”, Soraya rolled her eyes, “Literally dead or…?” “Both”, he answered, “You see… People are scared of me, in Cresteia and in here. I don’t have anyone, except you. But you couldn’t understand that. I got upset, and my alter-ego turned into an undead creature. That made me even more upset, because no one wanted to be with me.” Soraya put her diary away and thought about these words. It was true that she couldn’t completely understand Ryudo, she still remembered the very beginning where she had hated him. Actually, Soraya had never hated Ryudo, only herself for falling in love with him, and for seeing him as something more than just a smelly zombie. That had ruined her plans, and even after 15 years without Ryudo, she still had feelings for him. Her alter-ego didn’t know what to choose; to become the strongest girl in the world, or the happiest wife in the world? One thing was sure, she could never have both. “I see”, she answered finally, “I’m sorry.” “It’s not your fault.” Ryudo leaned against the window and looked at little sad. Soraya got up and walked to him, sitting next to him. “Hey, come on”, she smiled, “Don’t frown like that. You have me, Koruam, Norhoz… We’re always going to like the way you are.” Her friend looked at her and didn’t know what to say. I guess Ryudo didn’t hear that kind of sentence so often. Soraya leaned closer to him and this time kissed him on his lips. “Besides”, she whispered, “Don’t you know how much I love you?” “Don’t tease me like that”, Ryudo said and kissed her back. That’s when Kaito entered the room, and they both backed down quickly. “Oh, sorry, did I interrupt something?” he asked and blushed. “No, ‘course not”, Soraya blushed aswell and looked at Ryudo who seemed angry about the fact that Kaito had disturbed their kissing. “Alright!”, Kaito said, “Koruam told me to say to you that you should prepare yourself. The piano contest is starting in two hours. We’re lucky to be so close of the place.”
// That's all for today. ^^ //

3rd October ~ I'm sorry for the delay... Luckily I saw a dream about this fanfic and it inspired me about the ending. Oh well, here you go. ^__^
After waiting for one hour of his comrades, Koruam was about to leave without them. That’s when Soraya, Kaito, Ryudo and Norhoz walked to him. “Finally”, the blue-haired sighed, “Let’s hurry up.” When they stepped outside, Soraya noticed the sun was already setting. Days went by so fast, and that reminded her of Saku. She was so worried about him, that she didn’t even hear Kaito’s question until he asked it again. “Why do you always wear black?” Soraya looked at him. “Because it’s my favourite color, ba~ka!” she hissed, “I’ll wear black until I find something darker.” Norhoz laughed at this, but when Kaito and Soraya turned to look at him, he went silent. The continued through the streets of Paris, towards the conservatory, where May would be playing. Paris was not very different from Tokyo, the only thing that separated those two cities, was the number of people. Some streets were completely empty there, but in Tokyo, it was full everywhere. The conservatory was just around the corner, and a hugde crowd in front of it was waiting for something. Soraya was surprised, they hadn’t gone inside yet? May was suppose to play her song soon and the doors were closed. People were shouting and complaining, apparently something was terribly wrong. One of the security guards at the door tried to make everyone calm down. “What the heck is this?” Koruam asked. “Let me handle this”, Kaito said, “I know french. Pardon, monsieur…” A tall man dressed in a black and elegant suit turned to look at Kaito. “Qu’ est-ce que ce passe-t-il ici?” The tall man leaned towards him. “Je ne suis pas sure, mais apparament May Norton refuse de se présenter.” After this the man walked away, looking a little diappointed. Kaito turned to look at his companions and judging from the look on his face, the situation was bad. “He said that May Norton refuses to play”, he said, “What are we going to do now? We can’t just walk in and force her to take back her words.” Soraya sighed and looked around her. Indeed, what could they do now? And why in the world did May want to cancel her show? If she could just meet her and talk to her for a while… The show was their access to her, but now, their plan were ruined. No, she thought, there has to be another way inside. Soraya walked around the next corner into a narrow alley between the conservatory and a hospital building. Just like she had thought, there was an air shaft, and she was quite certain that she could squeeze herself into that shaft and that Kaito could do that aswell. They were the youngest and the smallest of the group after all. “I’ve got a plan”, she said to her comrades, “Kaito, come with me. Ryudo, you too. Koruam and Norhoz, stay here, and if anyone comes this way, distract them.” The blue-haired man nodded with his friend and they stayed in front of the conservatory, while Ryudo, Soraya and Kaito continued along the narrow alley. The air shaft was high, and the wall was too plain for climbing. “I can pull up Soraya”, Ryudo said, “But not you.” “Awh come on!” Kaito grunted, “This isn’t time for such things. You just want to see under her skirt.” “Good idea”, Soraya smiled, “Ryudo, pull me up.” Her lover blushed but grabbed her feet and pulled her up to the shaft in no time. Soraya quickly removed the loose grid that was covering the shaft and got inside. It was dark, dusty and the smell was simply horrible. She felt a sharp pain in her knee when she turned around to face Kaito and Ryudo who were still down. A loose piece of metal had wounded her knee and it wasn’t just a usual cut in the skin. It was deep, it hurt and there was blood everywhere in a few seconds. “What’s wrong?” Ryudo asked. “Nothing!” Soraya shouted, “Just got a light scratch. Help Kaito up!” Ryudo rolled his eyes and grabbed Kaito’s leg, pulling him up the same way as he had done to Soraya. Soraya took Kaito’s hand and pulled her inside the shaft. Mission accomplished. Kaito noticed there was blood everywhere and looked at Soraya’s knee. “Ouch!” he grunted, “Looks like we have to crawl all way inside, since this shaft is so small. Will you be alright?” “Sure”, Soraya nodded to him. Kaito turned carefully around to see Ryudo, avoiding the loose piece of metal. “Thanks dude”, he grinned, “We’re off now. See you later.” “Ryudo!” Soraya shouted, “Meet us on the front door, okay? Tell Koruam and Norhoz to wait for us there aswell!” Ryudo nodded and Soraya heard running footsteps. She turned around aswell as Kaito and faced the darkness of the smelly ari shift. Both of them hoped that all this was definitely worth the prize; to see their old friend Amy Sorel. They started crawling forward, and Kaito hit his head a few times, letting out a small grunt. Soraya on the other hand was still suffering because of her wound and hoped that they would find the right room and quick. Even though it was an air shaft, she felt like air became thicker and thicker as they continued deeper inside the huge conservatory building. Kaito felt it too, and was already sweating. It was hot, tight, smelly and dark and they were both hurt and frustrated. Finally, Soraya saw a little light shining behind a grid. She told Kaito to stop and kicked the grid so it would fall off. It worked, and Soraya dropped herself from the shaft into a small room.

9 october ~ Yaaah. Sorry. xD I was busy with another RPG. Here you go.
It was a dressing room with all kinds of costumes hanging from racks. There was a big mirror, from which Soraya saw that she and Kaito both looked like they had travelled through a garbage wonderland. “Let’s find May”, Kaito said, “If she’s still here.” “You go ahead, I’ll try and fix my leg”, Soraya said and her friend nodded to her, running out of the room into the hallway. She took a piece of white cloth from a costume and wrapped it around her knee. Then she walked to the mirror and started fixing her hair as quickly as possible. And that’s when it happened. Her mirror image literally grabbed her from her neck and grinned to her. “Gotcha”, said Soraya Hyuuga from the other side of the mirror, “You think I’ll just let you play this game all alone without me? Never. Ryudo is my lover, Koruam is my master… Not yours. You’re nothing but a weak schoolgirl from Tokyo.” “Let me go!” Soraya yelled, “Who do you think you are? I invented you! I am your master and creator! Obey me!” “Humph, you still don’t get it do you?” her other side answered, “Fine, I’ll show it to you. Let’s take a trip back to the old and good days now shall we?” And before Soraya even knew, she was sucked into the mirror, and there was nothing left, except a small drop of blood mixed with oil…[side note: Have you ever wondered what happens to you if you have oil in your blood?]
In the meantime Kaito was running around the empty conservatory, searching for May Norton. Where could she be? After running and running he noticed that he came to familiar places back again and was actually just running a circle. He had almost lost hope when Kaito heard footsteps. A girl about his age with red curly hair and green eyes, wearing a black schooldress walked around the corner, looking quite sad. “May!” Kaito shouted. “Huh? Who are you?” May asked, “Wait… Are you that japanese boy? Kenta-kun or something…” Kaito nodded happily and ran to her, hugging her. Tightly. “Hey, woah!” May blushed, “Why are you here anyway?” The boy looked at her with a serious face. May understood that she had to listen to him very carefully. “May, I have to tell you something…” he started. Outside, Koruam was getting impatient. The crowd around him, Norhoz and Ryudo still didn’t understand that May Norton really wouldn’t play her song that night and tried to get inside. I guess the girl is famous around here, he thought while thinking what was taking so long. A girl like Soraya would’ve already accomplished her mission, or set the whole place on fire, since she had tendency to get in trouble. Anyway, nothing had happened in almot one hour, and he was not the only one who was getting worried. Ryudo couldn’t stop moving around and Norhoz certainly hoped he was home, reading his lovely history books. “I hope they aren’t in a big trouble”, Norhoz commented. “What’s that suppose to mean?” Koruam said coldly, “This is Soraya and Kaito we’re talking about. OF COURSE, they are in trouble. It would be strange if they weren’t.” Norhoz rolled his eyes and concentrated to trying to tell people that May Norton really, really, really… Wasn’t going to play anything that night. Back inside, May Norton was more than shocked. Kaito had finished telling the truth about him, her and his comrades. “Kaito-san..?” May stuttered, “Could it really be like that?” “It’s true”, Kaito said, “Koruam is outside with Norhoz and Ryudo, and Soraya is on her way here. All we have to do now is to find Aishe, and we can go back to Cresteia! Think about it, back to our second home.” May couldn’t help but to smile. So this was finally it, the day she would go back to the world she loved the most, and leave her boring life on earth behind. “Alright then Kaito-san”, she smiled, “I’ll go with you, I don’t want to stay here anymore anyway.” Kaito smiled. She said that he should call her Amy from now on, or like Kaito had always said; Lady Sorel. Either way, Amy didn’t mind. “But hey, tell me”, Kaito started, “Why did you refuse to play?” Amy looked down, once again sadly.

21 october ~ Japan was fun, but now it's time to get back to work. Here you go, special long part! Enjoy. ^_^
“My father was suppose to come here to listen”, she spoke, “But he cares more about his work and couldn’t make it. There’s no reason to play my song, if no one I love is listening to it.” Kaito had never met Amy’s father Raphael, and wondered if her father in this world was the same as him; a Soul Edge obsessed. Of course not, he thought, Soul Edge doesn’t exist here. But he is obsessed with his job, at least. “I’m so sorry, lady Sorel”, Kaito said, “Why don’t you play it now anyway? You have your trust worthy friends here. Well, no sure about Koruam but at least Soraya is able to manipulate him.” Amy smiled and nodded. “I guess you’re right Kaito-san”, she answered, “I’ll play it. But mostly for you.” “Really?!” Kaito blushed, “Flattering… Well, you better get going to the stage, I need to find Soraya, she’s still not here.” Amy disappeared soon around the corner, heading towards the stage where she would play. Kaito on the other hand ran towards the double doors of the main hall, to let everyone get inside. Luckily, no one was guarding the doors from the inside, which surprised him a little. He opened the door and let everyone get inside. “May Norton will play her song after all!” Kaito shouted in joy. Koruam, Norhoz and Ryudo rushed inside aswell, stopping at Kaito. They were glad the plan had worked, but Ryudo was still nervous. Soraya was nowhere to be seen, and the fact that Kaito had lost her, made him angry. He almost grabbed Kaito from his throath. “You really can’t take care of people, can you!” Ryudo yelled, “I’m warning you, if she’s hurt or anything, I’ll…” “She’s wounded, her knee was all bloody..” “Why you!” Norhoz grabbed Ryudo’s hands and kept him away from Kaito, who was giving his explanations to Koruam. He didn’t seem so worried, it was much like Soraya to do like this; disappear. And everytime it happened, it was related to her unfortunate past. The only thing Koruam knew about Soraya’s past, was that she had killed her family and received a certain book from Gevvu. And that was enough, he felt like the rest wasn’t his business. “I’m sure she’ll appear sooner or later”, Kaito said, “You shouldn’t worry about her Ryudo, she’s a strong girl. I know because I’ve been with her since kindergarten.” “Oh, you must be really full of yourself then”, Ryudo grunted, “Beeing with her all this time.” “No! No, it’s not like that! I mean she set it all, she asked me to be her friend!” “Are you blaming my Soraya?!” “Shut up both of you!” Koruam yelled and there was now complete silence in the hall. Norhoz let Ryudo go and Kaito backed down a little. The boy didn’t attack him, but gave him the iciest look ever and walked towards the hallways of the conservatory. “Where are you going?” Norhoz asked. “I’m going to find my love of course.” Koruam grabbed Norhoz’ shoulder when he was about to run after Ryudo. He knew exactly what his old friend needed, even though he didn’t know Ryudo in this world. In Eesgo they were best friends, and best friends always helped each other. But now, Koruam knew this was Ryudo’s duty and he had to do it himself. “Let’s go”, the blue-haired said, “We musn’t miss May’s song, right?” They walked to the great hall where the stage was and sat down. Everyone seemed a little excited and happy that the concert would take place after all. Soon, May Norton walked to the stage. Everyone applauded, even Koruam. May sat down in front of her piano and placed her fingers on the keys. She closed her eyes and started.
Chapter 8 ~ Truth about Koruam
“Soraya is an ugly shrimp!” The three girls laughed and ran out of the bathroom where they had locked Soraya inside a cabin. She tried to kick the door open, but a chair stuck between the door and the opposite wall was holding the door. Soraya sat down to the cold floor of the girl’s bathroom and looked at the wall next to her. ‘Soraya stinks!’ ‘Soraya has layed with every boy of the class and is a very *friendly* person!’ ‘Soraya is a loser!’ ‘No one loves Soraya!’ She gave a kick to the wall, hoping all those lies would soon disappear and that the door would open for her. But it didn’t. She remained stuck there for three hours, until a female teacher heard strange noises and let her out. Of course, Soraya didn’t tell the teacher who was bullying her. It would’ve been humiliating. “Now Soraya, you have to tell me who is bullying you”, the teachers kept saying, “Or else, you’ll just hurt yourself even more.” But she wanted to hurt herself. Her worst enemy was the girl who always looked back at her from the mirror. Still. Soraya knew she didn’t ‘stink’. She also knew very well that even though she was quite popular with the boys, she always ignored love letters, poems, roses and such. She knew she was not a loser, she was the best of her class in everything, but that was still not enough for her. One fact, however was true; no one really loved her. Boys did, but was it real? No. It was like everything in their age; when they saw a pretty girl, they immediately attacked her. Her father didn’t love her, that was sure. She was quite positive that her father hated and feared her, and deeply wished that she would die. It’s too bad, but some people have to suffer.
Soraya opened her eyes and quickly stood up. After being sucked in the mirror, she had fallen into a deep ocean of darkness and then fallen asleep. “Can you hear me?” She looked around her confused. There was nothing but a stone floor and darkness, only a little light that came somewhere above her. “Yes… Who are you?” “You of course.” Soraya turned around and saw herself. Though this was not Soraya Nakagawa, this was Soraya Hyuuga. She was wearing a white kimono with blood and a katana attached to her obi [writer’s note: obi is a kimono belt]. Soraya herself was wearing her school uniform. “I will show you something interesting”, Hyuuga said, “Something that maybe would happened, if you wouldn’t have defeated Gaara of the Sand in that battle. Koruam was watching it… He was planning on taking you or Gaara as his Ofuro. You agreed. Gaara would’ve disagreed. You could’ve never prove your true powers to Koruam, and he would’ve never acknowledged you. Ryudo would’ve hated Gaara for beating the hell out of you like that. But Koruam… He’s such an interesting man isn’t he?” “You don’t even know the half of him”, Nakagawa answered, “I want you to disappear and to never come back again.” The Hyuuga grinned to her and turned around. “Unfortunately I can’t”, she said, “That would mean giving up your place as Loyalty.” “You’re far from Loyalty!” Nakagawa yelled, “You can’t steal my life. And I’m not ready to share it with a monster like you.” Hyuuga walked deeper and deeper into the darkness, not really paying attention to Nakagawa’s words. “If you want to know the truth about your master, follow me.”

25 october ~ Hello boys and girls.. I was cleaning up my computer and found something quite tormenting... Yes! This is a beginning to a small special chapter about Soraya, and Koruam and his comrades aswell.
Special Chapter ~ 1
“29th June 2007 Dear diary, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I haven’t been dreaming about other worlds at all. Ever since I borrowed that book from the library, I’ve been seeing dreams about a man. No, three men actually. One of them has blue hair and looks like a high ranked leader. Why do I have the feeling that he’s important? The second one is a younger man who looks very intelligent. He has brown hair and normal clothes. Well, normal clothes for a human straight from Tolkien’s stories, perhaps. The third one has given me goosebumps. He is man, about 25, and he’s an undead, a zombie. Everytime I see him, I have these really discordant feelings towards him. The book I borrowed is written in a strange language. I’d love to read it, but I can’t. I’ve been searching for translations for weeks, and I haven’t find anything… I think I should give up. Even my friend Kaoru says so. He wants to borrow the book aswell; maybe he will be able to translate it? Tomorrow I’ll be going to the library to investigate a little more. Kaoru said he’ll come aswell. I hope we’ll find something. …It’s raining again. It’s been raining for four weeks already.”
Soraya was sitting on the front seat of the car, beside Kaoru who was driving. It was already quite dark outside, and it was raining. Despite this, Kaoru seemed to be on a good mood and tried to cheer up the sleepy Soraya who was carrying a black, precious looking book. “So does this count as a date?” he asked and snickered. “You know very well that were just friends”, Soraya grunted. She looked at Kaoru. They have been friends from 1st grade, even though they really didn’t get along sometimes. He had short, messy hair that Soraya’s twinbrother had dyed into blond. To be honest, it had completely failed, but still looked cool. “Okay okay”, Kaoru sighed, “No need to stress, I was kidding.” Soraya looked outside, trying to count all the street lamps that flashed by. The fact that she was driving this late with Kaoru, in a rain, made her a little nervous. She started to feel cold, even though she was wearing her warm, black and white striped, Sex Pot Revenge-sweater [writer’s note: most famous punk brand in Japan]. “What’s wrong?” Kaoru asked. “It’s kinda cold here.” Kaoru looked at the thermometer. It was 19 outside, and that was a lot in Japan, especially on rainy days. “You can’t be serious!” he shouted, “That’s hot!” Kaoru’s friend started to suddenly squirm on her seat, like she would try and survive from a poison needle that had been just stuck into her neck. He forgot all about driving and tried to ask Soraya what was wrong. First, the girl refused to answer and started to cry. “Something’s going to happen”, Soraya said and a tear fell down her cheek. He had no idea what Soraya was talking about. Maybe she had lost her mind? Kaoru touched her forehead; she had a high fever. “Alright, just relax, I’ll get you-” “Kaoru, keep and eye on the road!” Soraya yelled suddenly. But it was already too late. When Kaoru grabbed the wheel, it was hot as fire. He lost control of the car and it soon smashed against a big tree. Kaoru, who was not wearing a security belt, smashed against the windscreen and died. Soraya on the other hand, only hit her head against the window and fell unconscious. And two days later, she slipped into a coma state for two months.
“Let’s call her.. Soraya Tomoka Hyuuga”, said a faint voice. Strange, yet familiar moments were showed to her. She was playing with other children. Then she was left all alone, in a dark cell with books. There was a man, much like her, who said she was a trump card. Then another man wearing a black cape with red clouds came to her. She was carrying a book, the same black book. But this time, she could read it. Soraya understood every word of it. Blood, pain, tears, yelling. A great sand demon, she won the battle. The blue-haired man hired her to an army. She fell in love with an undead. Sleeping, gaining powers… A battle against an immortal. She betrayed someone. There was a woman with black hair with the undead. A helpful ally with long white hair who was known as a monster. A snake-like man who gave an invitation to a tournament. Soraya lost, and was forgiven. 15 years of training. She was broken. She met the undead once again. And two children. They were looking for something, a stone. A famous knight with a sword. The last battle, the loss of her dreams. She lost. She gave her heart to someone. Then she fell asleep. And then nothing.

26 october ~ Flashbacks from the good old times. Enjoy. ^.^
It was a dark hallway. Soraya remembered it well. There was only one door in this hallway and it led to Orochimaru’s room. She was walking towards it, accompanied by Itachi Uchiha. He turned around when they arrived at the door. “Silence in front of the Leader”, he spoke quietly, “I will answer for you. Never look him in the eyes.” Itachi opened the door to the room, bowed and stepped inside, pulling Soraya in aswell. It was dark aswell, the room smelled like sake, and that was not surprise since the main boss of the Akatsuki group was currently drinking that behind his desk. “This is the girl from the Country of Tea”, the Uchiha said, “The one who is rumoured to be able to defeate Koruam.” Orochimaru got up and walked to Soraya. He checked every spot in her, to make sure she didn’t carry any weapons and such. “How old is she?” “She’s is born in the year of the moon”, Itachi answered, “A night child. Very rare.” “Only eight…” the leader shook his head and looked unpleased, “This rascal able to defeate Koruam the Great and the Immortal? T’sch.” He continued checking Soraya and especially her hands, trying to get something from them. Soraya herself was a little confused, and even though she was not allowed, to speak, she couldn’t hold herself anymore. “Let me go! What’s going on?!” “Oh… Those eyes”, Orochimaru grinned and grabbed Soraya from her chin, “Look at me Soraya. Ah yes, those eyes are quite impressive, aren’t they Itachi-san? So much water, sky and ice.” “Yes, she has indeed very remarkable eyes”, Itachi agreed. “But she’s still nothing but a child”, Orochimaru sighed and let go of Soraya and walked back to his desk, “Well, too late to send her back now, that she has killed her family.” “What must we do then?” The Akatsuki leader took another sip of his sake and looked at Soraya. Only a child, but maybe one day, when she would be old enough, she could accomplish the most difficult mission ever; to destroy Koruam the Great. “We must train her”, he answered finally, “When her 14th birthday arrives, we will send her to where Koruam will most likely be; in the School of the Imaginary.” “May I ask you leader”, Uchiha hesitated, “How can you be so sure about that?” “I’ve seen the future Itachi-san”, the leader said, “He will be there, I know it for sure.” Both of them looked at Soraya know, who was still a little out and confused about all this. She had to kill someone? Koruam? She was finally going to meet the great conqueror? This made her somehow happy, she wanted so badly to show her skills to Koruam. And now, everytime she would take out her katana, or activate her Byakugan to train, it would be for Koruam. Only for him, until he would be her master. “Interesting, isn’t it?” Soraya turned around and saw her alter ego walk to her. “Don’t worry, they can’t hear us”, the Hyuuga said, “I brought you back in time. You didn’t remember this fact about yourself, beeing able to defeate Koruam?” Nakagawa shook her head and looked at the scene. She started to remember everything. The good and the bad times with the Akatsuki members. Somehow, someway… She had kinda liked them. They had given her training, they had protected her and even loved her. In the end, she had betrayed them. She understood, even a little, now. “Let’s move on, shall we?” he alter ego snickered. The scenery changed. Soraya was standing outside in the yard of the Imaginary School. It was early in the morning and Amy was there aswell. “Good morning”, Soraya said to her, noticing that she couldn’t control her movements or words while she was in this reality with her alter ego. Amy turned quickly around and saw her, looking at her from head to toe. “Soraya”, she said, “How are you?” “I’m fine”, Soraya asnwered, “Where’s Gaara?” There was a small silence. Amy was hesitating. “Oh, I see”, Soraya smiled, “So he left.” “He’ll be back sooner or later!” Amy yelled. “Right”, Soraya rolled her eyes, “You don't know him. He doesn't take orders from anyone and likes to kill. As long as there are people to kill, Gaara will be happy. And, you know, the world is full of people!" She was about to sat down to a bench while carrying her book, but stopped when noticing that Amy had activated her sharingan. She seemed angry about the stuff she had said concerning Gaara. “You want to fight me?!” she asked, “I’m flattered.” That time, she had been the best Byakugan user in the world, also the last one. That was one reason why she was considered as the object of every leader’s fantasy; her skills were are talent. And when a talented girl like her showed her fighting skills, there was rarely someone who was not impressed. Amy asked her about Koruam and told her that Gaara was planning on challenging him. Soraya just smirked and mocked Gaara once again. The scenery changed once again. “This is my personal favourite”, giggled her alter ego. Soraya was now inside the school with Amy, Norhoz, Kyo and Aishe. Kyo carried Aishe in his arms and Norhoz was standing next to them. Koruam and Ryudo walked there, but unlike usually, Soraya’s heart didn’t jump. She didn’t feel love at all, and that hurt her. “Koruam’s friend”, Soraya whispered to Amy, “He’s dead isn’t he?” “Yes, I am dead”, Ryudo answered, “But my ears work perfectly.” He introduced himself, Soraya couldn’t help but to roll her eyes. An undead guy in the school, how amusing. “Why don’t you introduce me to these young ladies? They look quite nice if you ask me…” Amy quickly stepped back, hoping that Ryudo wouldn’t approach her. Soraya didn’t back down, but had this face ‘no way, he didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?’. One thing was sure, this undead had a very good taste of humor, for a dead person. “Stay out of my way when I’ll challenge Koruam”, Soraya hissed, “Or I won’t be responsible of my actions.” She continued playing her strong-willed princess role, until Amy said: “I’m not afraid of Ryudo. Are you?” Soraya didn’t know what to say. She was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and sighed: “You guys are so troublesome, man.” She walked away. And the scenery changed yet again. “Ryudo and Koruam really liked you”, the Hyuuga spoke, “Koruam thought we were and interesting character, flattering isn’t it? While Ryudo was thinking that we’re such a cutie. He was wondering if you liked him. But of course you didn’t.”

28 october ~ Well, gotta say this.. The last chapters are about the begin now, and so will the last battles. ;>
“That was because of you!” Nakagawa yelled. Now, she was on the ground, kissing Ryudo. She remembered well that incident, after they had fought Akatsuk together. Sasori-sama had turned against his comrades when he had realised that Soraya’s happiness was the only thing he had cared of. Koruam smiled to their kiss, I guess it made him remember something, a good memory perhaps? The scenery changed again. She was in the school yard again, with all the other students. Koruam was there, looking at them. And then, suddenly, his torso exploded and he died. Soraya felt upset. After Koruam had left, everything had turned upside down. Norhoz had died, for example. She also remembered everything that had happened between her, Amy and Karakuri. Whatever Karakuri’s story had been, he was definitely a summoner, not a sleeper. Koruam’s death had ruined her. The scenery changed. She was at the lake. Hayate was talking to her, whispering lies into her ears. “He’s cheating on you”, he said, “With that Sisay.” Soraya didn’t want to believe it. Somehow, it was so obvious, Ryudo being with her all this time and… No, she thought, I mustn’t think about that, they were just friends, right? Right..? “No”, Hayate’s words echoed through her mind, “He’s a liar.” Why would Ryudo do something like that? Didn’t he like her anymore? Soraya looked down and couldn’t see anything through her warm tears. She saw she had the book about Koruam in her hands once again. Her arms were shaking and her heart was beating. And then, Soraya’s arms worked by themselves and started ripping of the pages from the book. She cried, yelled and cursed herself. "And you!" she yelled in the skies hoping that Eperoseti would hear, "Giving me a purpose in life huh?! I was so naive! Liar! I hate you, and Ryudo, and Gevvu, and Norhoz and everyone of you!" Soraya took the elemental stone out of her pocket. "Here!" she threw it far away in the bushes, "I don't need it! I QUIT! I'd never work for a liar like you anyway!" She was quiet for a while. "And I hate myself the very most, FOR JOINING YOU!" she screamed while tears running down her cheeks, "And not having enough brains to stick with Sasori-sama!!" Soraya cried, her heart cried blood as if it was broken like a glass of water. It began to rain and her clothes and hair were soon completely soaked. But this time, she didn’t get up and walk to the school. This time, someone walked to her, carrying a black umbrella. “You’re gonna catch cold like that”, said a kind voice. She didn’t raise her look but felt that the rain stopped since the person was holding the umbrella above her. “Who cares…” she sobbed, “I am Soraya… Just another failure.” “I care”, the person said and went down on his knees. Soraya turned to look at the person and saw a very familiar face. A face who was smiling a kind and warm smile, and that she saw everyday in her normal life. “Saku…” she whispered and still couldn’t stop crying, “Help me, please! I’m lost. I don’t know who to believe..!” She hugged Saku who hugged her back and helped her to get up. She couldn’t let go of him, and hoped that their moment would never end. “Don’t cry”, Saku said, “I’m here. I’ll help you, o-neechan.” There was a long silence, but for Soraya, it lasted for a few seconds. When she had finally cried enough, she was able to speak. “Every step I have taken, I’ve taken to get closer to Koruam”, she whispered, “To be acknowledged by him. And now… I have failed. I don’t want to live in a world like this anymore… I can’t! For all my life I searched for someone like him. He might not know it himself, but he gave so much for a little brat like me. He happened to grant my one and biggest wish ever, to be his servant. I waited for that moment.. For all my life! Then, I screwed everything. It's too ironic, even for me. I let the wrong ones control my life, and ignored the right ones.” Saku listened carefully her words. Soraya didn’t understand that her brother couldn’t possibly know about Koruam, Eesgo and Cresteia, though now, Saku seemed to get her every word. “O-neechan”, he said, “You have forgotten to listen to your heart. I understand, it is broken. But you must fix it. Only your heart can judge what is right or wrong. Remember that, o-neechan, and everything will be fine.” Her brother let go of her and gave her the umbrella. Saku stepped back and smiled to her sister. He disappeared into the forest, leaving her thinking about these words. “That’s right”, Soraya spoke, “Thank you, Saku. The truth about Koruam… he was never a liar. I just forgot to listen to the right voice.” Thank you.
