Chapter 1

Everything just seemed rather quiet as a 16 year old girl, appearing 13 entered the grounds of the school. Her black hair swayed in the wind her green eyes sparkling in the light. Her hand tightened around her bag as she walked in. She bit her lower lip slightly as she took a seat under a small tree. It looked more dead than alive, not like she noticed. Her name was Luna.

Hina sat on the roof of her temporary home... a boarding school. She looked down at the students, confused by their emotions. She didn't know what it was like to feel happiness, joy... love... really any emotion... She stared down upon them, thinking yet again about her fifth birthday. {Should I go back? Should I confront my dark past?} She always thought about going back, but in truth, she was afraid of what she would find... She climbed down from the roof and walked around the courtyard, walking towards a dead tree. She sat down beneath it and rested a hand on it's bark... She could feel it's pain, it's sorrow... She healed the tree, hoping that it would live longer...

Luna blinked and she looked up with wide eyes. Was the tree...coming back to life? Luna slowly stood up, peeking at the other side of the tree to see a girl healing it. She shapeshifted into a squirrel and she scrambled up the tree sitting on a branch over the girl. She raised a small squirrel paw and started waving with beady eyes. She wouldn't be suprised if the girl started freaking out.

Hina leaned back against the tree and closed her eyes, not paying attention to the squirrel. She let the memories come back to her, wondering if she should go back... A tear rolled down her cheek as she watched the memories, the tree began to bloom black buds.
Luna stopped waving and her small squirrel hand slinked back to her side. She sighed about to turn away when a black bud started blooming. She let out a small squrrel shriek, tripping backwards and into the girls lap unconcious.

Hina jumped when she felt something on her lap, but saw it was only a squirrel. She looked back up at the tree, and saw the black buds. She shook her head, and leaned back against the tree. The tree was becoming all black, yet still alive...

Luna scrambled out of the girls lap, sitting next to her. She shapeshifted back into her normal form, sitting on her knees. Her seagreen eyes wide with interest and concern. "Hey...are you alright?" she asked quietly. She frowned, biting her lowerlip again wanting to help the girl for she never liked seeing people sad.

"I'm fine... Just thinking..." the area around her began to die... the first time in ten years...

Luna blinked feeling strange, like life was just draining from her. Who was this girl? Luna scrambled backwards just a few feet away from Hina so that she didn't feel like she was litteraly dying. "Uhm...hello. My name's Luna..." she said with a small smile still trying to be friendly. Was the girl hurt? Was she alright?

"Hina Kanashiita, have you heard of me? Or the situation that happened in a forest near Tokyo?"She spoke with anger, sadness, and death all at once...

Luna put a finger on her chin as she thought. "I think I have...even if I have I probaly don't remember." she said smiling. Her smile lessoned at the girls tone, she felt like she did something bad or something bad was going to happen since she met her. "If I can remember correctly a murder or something...?" she asked. She remembered when seh was 6 her parents talked about it.

"Akihiko, Yetsume, Moriko. They were killed the afternoon of my fifth birthday... They were my family... I have to leave now..."She started to get her bag ready, there was a long journey ahead.

Luna blinked, but nodded understandingly. She stood up walking around the tree tricking Hina to think she was leaving. At the last second, she shapeshifted into a small mouse and snuck into her bag. She wanted to go! She wanted to have an adventure!

Hina pulled her bag over her shoulder and walked into the forest. She walked into a clearing, where she ran three steps the jumped into the air. Then she enfurled her sixteen foot wingspan, flapping in the direction of her old home...

Luna jumped around in the bag but said not a squeak. She poked her head in a small opening at the bag and looked around. Seeing the wings and how high they were she freaked out jumping back in the bag and curling in a small ball. Oh what did she get herself into...

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 2

Three days passed, this is the fourth morning
Hina saw the small cottage from above, nearly burnt down... She landed a bout a half a mile away from the cottage, many people here still remembered what happened... She furled her wings back in and set off for a place of many dark memories...

Luna's small mouse body moaned. She lost all track of everything. Feeling Hina start walking she shot out of the bag shapeshifing into her normal body and gasping for breath and landing on the ground with a big thud. She sat up rubbing her head, not knowing what Hina would do if she saw her. Well she would definatly hear her.

Hina turned around quickly and glared at Luna. She clenched her fists, and an earthquake began. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU FOLLOW ME?!"She screamed at Luna, the cracks started to form where Hina was standing. Vines shot up through the cracks and flew towards Luna, wrapping around her....

Luna closed her eyes struggling agains the vines. She glared right back at Hina. "Because I wanted to know why your so sad! I wanted to help you!!" she growled through clenched teeth. She shapeshifted into a black wolf still sourrounded by vines and her jaws locked on them tearing them up. She stood on all fours looking at Hina. "You can't do anything now...I'm alreay this far with you..."

"If you get hurt, I won't help you..." She said as she released what was left of the vines, and let small earthquakes rumble on. Without waiting for Luna, she walked on.

Luna let out a satisfied 'humph!'. She scrambled after Hina still in her wolf form, walking along side her. "So where are we going, Hina?" she asked right away her tail swishing behind her.

"An old home... Can you please not be so happy? It's giving me a headache... Here we are..." she walked out of the trees into a small clearing, where in the center, there was the old cottage, still standing. It had a lot of damage, made from the fire.

Luna rolled her eyes stopping when she saw the old cottage. She shapeshifted back into her human form. She stood next to Hina her eyes wide with interest. But still she didn't know this was Hina's childhood and nightmare. She looked at Hina. "Something bad happened here, huh? Is this why your sad?" she whispered.

"Yes..."she walked to the door and opened it with a key that she had in her messenger bag. She walked inside and looked around the untouched scene of ten years ago.

Luna's eyes grew wide as she started getting the whole truth. She slowly followed after Hina stepping inside. She looked around at the scene, she started shivering. The door slammed behind them which made Luna yelp with startledness. She didn't like this place, not at all.

Hina walked toward the fireplace, where behind the sofa, the body of Moriko lay. Blood was all over the place, and the body somehow stayed preserved...

Luna walked after Hina staying close. As soon as she saw the body she flinched, freezing up. Her face became pale. She tried so hard not to freak out. "C-C-Cant y-you b-bring i-it b-b-back t-to l-life l-like you d-did with the t-tree...?" she asked shakily, her eyes not leaving the body.

"No, If I could, I would have done that years ago... I can only control nature and light... not life and death..."She walked through the rooms, each of them a mess, objects all over, bloodstains, signs of a struggle. She walked through the didning room and found her mother's body. Kneeling down, she pulled a locket out of her bag and put it around her mother's neck...

Chapter 3

Luna just sighed turning away from the body and following Hina. She stopped, letting Hina do what she was doing. Tears fell down her cheeks and onto the floor. She wiped them away quickly. "I-I'm sorry for following you and I'm sorry for what happened..." she whispered putting a small hand on her shoulders. What else could she say?

"It wasn't your fault, it was mine. That stupid man... He was our neighbor, and her knew about me... I was the only one in this forest with gifts... He's still on the loose..." she stood up and walked into her old bedroom, looking through her old stuff, trying to find something important.

A bony hand pushed upon the door, black fingernails digging into the wood. A girl of 18 invited herself in, looking as if she hadn't slept forever and came from a funeral. A wry smile spread across her face as she spotted Hina and Luna. "You two better be getting a move on, he'll be here soon..." she said with a cracked voice.

Luna sighed following Hina into the room when she stopped, her head turning towards the door. "What does she mean? Who is she?" she whispered quikly tugging on Hina's sleve and hiding behind her.

"Do you mean 'he' like I think you do?"she looked out the window... thinking of him.

Serenity grinned playing with her hair. "You should know, Hina Kanashiita. But I suggest you leave if you want to end up just like the rest of them." she giggled, sitting on the couch smiling at Hina.

There was a thump in the back of the house, then the sound of glass breaking. Daisuke Muchinaka, the murderer who killed Hina's family... "We have to leave, now... hurry!" she whispered to Luna, looking around quickly.

Luna litteraly jumped out of her skin. Serenity stood up cackling in laughter "Just as I saw...Come." she said turning around and opening a window which led to the forest and safety..for now. Luna looked at Hina, time was running out. "What do we do!?" she cried, now clinging to Hina.

"We go into the forest, find a place to hide before Daisuke comes... Let's go," There were more sounds of glss breaking, then the sound of heavy footsteps down the hall. "Shapeshift into something small, hurry!"She jumped out the window and waited for Luna..

Serenity jumped out of the window first, helping Hina jump out. She also waited for Luna. Luna trembled, she never was a good shapeshifter when under pressure and in a hurry. "Oh.." she whispered. Hearing the footsteps closer, she panicked and shapeshifted into a cat shooting out of the window. She quickly and quietly shut the window, and led Hina and Lun into the bushes to hide.

"There was a cliff back then... I know where it is... there were a lot of caves there... perfect for hiding, we can go there.." she looked at the window, seeing him looking right at her... she was behind a bush, how could he see her? He glared at her for a moment, then took a baseball bat abroke the window, then started running for them..

Serenity nodded slowly, "We must hurry. I don't want to let my vision come true this time..." she said in a weird calm way. She stood up and headed towards the cliff. Luna, still in cat form, upper lip lifted up in a snarl, arching her back. "You two go I'll try to hold him off!" she growled charging at the man. She outstretched her claws and jumped upon his face scratching his eyes and biting anything she could. Indeed she had courage but this could possibly kill her. Serenity turned around, her eyes wide. "No!" she cried. Now her vision was coming true...

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 4

Daisuke took his bat and hit luna, hard enough to where she flew into the forest. He looked back at Serenity and Hina, then ran for them once more.
Hina created a stone barrier around him, then made it close in on him slowly... For some reason, the stone walls stopped and crumbled away... her gifts were weakening...

Luna let out a screech of agony flying into the trunk of the tree and falling to the ground unmoving. Serenity grabbed Hina's wrist and tugged trying to run. Now she panicked. "Come! We must hurry!" she said. They didn't have time to stop or slow him down.

Hina ran with Serenity, but still worried about Luna... Daisuke didn't care about her friends, he just wanted her, like he did ten years ago... She tried to use her gifts once again, but it didn't work. It was almost as if she didin't have any gifts to begin with... Daisuke ran after them with abnormal speed, making Hina wonder exactly what he was.

Serenity tripped, a sharp pointing rock hitting her side making her moan in pain. She clutched her side with one hand but got right back up running as if that never happened. She looked over her shoulder at Daisuke. She grabbed Hina taking a sharp turn and then running in that direction. They were still going to the cliffs but they needed to lose him somehow.

"Are you alright?" Hina looked back at Daisuke, then stopped. "You don't have to go through this. If it's me that he wants, then he doesn't have to hurt you or Luna!"she knew that Serenity knew what she was thinking of doing..

Serenity's eyes filled with tears, "Don't do it Hina Kanashiita." she said stopping still clutching her side. "If you let him kill you your letting him have control. He's not going to stop. He killed your family and you can't just let him kill you. Please Hina, if Luna was here would she want to just give up?"

"But it's because of me that he's hurting all of these people! I can't let him do that!" Daisuke was catching up to them, getting his knife ready...

Serenity grabbed Hina's shoulders. "You can't let him win. He's already seen me and he will kill me too." she pulled Hina to the side, behind a tree so they were hidden. "My vision. What happened with Luna came true don't let what's going to happen next come true too. We need a plan to finish him for good."

"It'll have to be the old fashioned way, I can't use my gifts..." Hina heard rustling in the bushes near them, and saw Daisuke... He turned and looked right at her again... yet, he didn't attack.

Serenity's gaze looked at Daisuke, showing no fear. Her hand went on her side again the pain shooting everywhere around her. She grabbed Hina's hand again limping trying to run. She stopped leaning against a tree. "We can't do it now. Can you at least fly?" she asked her gaze never leaving Daisuke.

"Let me try..." She enfurled her wings and flapped them, starting to fly away, then she lost altitude and crashed into a tree, causing Daisuke to know exactly where they were...

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 5

Serenity winced. Then she got an idea. "Stay in the trees That should slow him down..." she whispered to Hina. She herself grabbed onto a branch, trying her hardest to get in a tree. As soon as she was in it, she gasped for breath but continued until she was there with Hina. She looked around, her hand fumbling with branches until she found a vine. She took a deep breath and swung to the next tree.

Hina climbed from branch to branch, staying on the middle branches at first, then climbing as far up as she could go on one tree. She looked around at her view, then sunk back down on her branch, staying hidden.

Daisuke looked up at the trees, hearing people up there. He used his knife to climb a tree, then saw Serenity. He looked for Hina, but couldn't find her. He'd have to settle with Serenity..

Serenity landed in the next tree, trying to get a moments rest. She coughed hoarsly, the taste of blood in her mouth. She tore her sleeve wrapping it around her wound which bled. Hearing rustling she looked down to see Daisuke. She looked around for Hina. Not seeing her she climbed higher in the tree. She searched again for a vine and swung in attempt to get to another tree. This time she released a little too early and tumbled on the ground struggling to get up. She slowly stood up, coughing blood. Whether they got away or not she had to face the facts. She wasn't going to make it. Her eyes locked on Daisuke, "HEY OVER HERE!" she called bravely. ~Hina get out of here~ Serenity's hand lay on a sharp stick and she gripped it waiting..

Daisuke looked over at Serenity, and ran at her, punching her then jabbing the knife into her leg...Hina saw Daisuke attack Serenity and jumped from the tree onto his back...

Serenity screamed holding back tears, and she stabbed his leg right back with the stick, breaking it.

Daisuke pulled the stick out like it was nothing, then threw Hina against a tree, pinning her with a hand on her throat. He wiped his knife off on his pants, then held it ready...

Hina kicked him where the sun don't shine, thinking he would loosen his grip on her...

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 6

Luna lay unconcious upon the floor. Yes she was on that line between life and death, all she had to do was just shapeshift back into a human. Her eyes flickered open, with a moan and tears she slowly became human again. She coughed harshly feeling like she was going to throw up. She heard a scream and forced herself onto her feet. She started remembering everything that occured. Her brave attack but almost death. She clenched her teeth and her hands curled in fists. Hearing a scream, her eyes grew wide. She shapeshifted into a panther charging in the direction. She would never forgive herself if she lost Hina or Serenity.

"HINA!!" Serenity cried, trying in any way to help her. But she couldn't her leg and her side. Still, she tried. She clawed the ground but no effect. Luna let out a emmense roar, comming upon the scene of Serenity bleeding and Hina kicking the downstairs. Luna snarled her powerful muscles ripping Daisuke off of her and pinning him on the ground her fur bristling but not killing him yet.

Daisuke cursed under his breath. He should have killed her while he could. He tried to shove the panther off of him, but she was too heavy. Getting his knife again, he got ready to stab Luna as well...

Hina thought of something that would help Luna, and climbed up a tree again. She reached a weak branch, and jumped onto it. "LUNA! GET OFF HIM!" she cried as the branch fell...

What? No 'Yay Luna's back!' ? Whatever. But Luna never saw the knife. "NOT UNTIL I SEE HIM DIE!" she spat at Hina raising a paw to finish him. Serenity reached out and grabbed Daisuke's hand with the knife. "Get...off..." she growled at Luna telling her she wasn't kidding. Luna blinked seeing the knife. She got off. Before he could do anything Luna got Serenity and helped her to be out of the way.

The branch was about the size of the tree itself, and fell directly on top of Daisuke... He tried to scramble out of the way, but it didn't work, he now lay underneath the branch, dead...

Hina jumped from the tree and walked over to the others. "Are you alright?"she wanted to make sure they were okay before checking on Daisuke...

Luna jumped back, so glad she moved. She shapeshifted into her human form standing up. "I'm good." she said. Shelooked at Serenity, her eyes went from triumph to worry. Serenity lay, bleeding from both her side and leg. She smiled weakly at the two, "This is farewell, I'm not going to make it..." she whispered. Luna's eyes filled with tears dropping on her knees. "You can't just go...please dont go.."

Hina looked down at Serenity... thinking of her gifts. She was able to manipulate light, that could have some healing in it... but her gifts...stopped... all she had to do was try. She sat down next to her and held hands out and concentrated. Soon after, her hands started to glow as well as Serenity. Maybe it would work.

Luna stood there tears falling freely down her cheek. Serenity smiled grimly. "Don't waste your powers, its too late for me." she said. She looked at Luna and Hina. "You two look after eachother...like parters in crime..." She coughed wincing again and looking back at them, "I'll tell your family you said hello..." her voice trailed off, her eyes slowly closed and her body went limp.

Hina looked away and stood back up... then spread her wings and flew toward the cliffs... she needed to think.

Luna stared at the ground stepping away from the bodies. Seeing Hina fly off she didn't know what to do. She shapeshifted into a bald eagle and flew after her, landing behind her silently letting her think.

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 7

Hina looked up at the sky, sitting in the fery spot where she escaped from Daisuke ten years ago... then she realized... he hadn't aged at all for ten years... {Could he be? If he is, that would mean that he's not dead! He can't die!}She stood up and flew back to where they left him, seeing that he wasn't there any more...

Luna flew after Hina landing in a tree. She sat on a branch and shapeshifted into a human. Her eyes were wide, and her breathing was uneven. "W-Who is he? W-W-What is h-he?" she stammered.

"He is the time keeper... that's why he looked twenty when he was really fifty... He can't die... there is nothing we can do now..."

Luna jumped from the branch. She made a terrible mistake following Hina. "N-No...Get away.." she said backing up. Tears streamed down her cheek, "I need to get out of here..." she whispered. She turned around running into the forest without another word.

Hina didn't go after Luna, she knew how she felt. Instead she stayed with Serenity's body, as though watching over it... she needed guidance... she couldn't do this alone... She prayed for help, when she felt dizzy and everything went black...

Luna continued to run, her sneakers bounding on the floor just like her heart. She spread her arms out and lightly jumped, shapeshifting in mid air into a bald eagle. She flew high landing in the highest tree at the very top, staring out into the sky tears falling down her cheek.

Hina woke up in a meadow, she sat up and looked around, seeing a stream, and a forest.... She looked up and saw her mother, looking over her... "Mom? Aren't you..."Yetsume nodded, and helped her up. "You asked for help... all I can say is try to resolve the problem through speaking, not fighting. He may not have wanted to kill us, just ask, maybe it will help..."
Hina nodded and looked around seeing that she was back in the clearing... for the first time in ten years... she sat down and cried. Cried for everything that happened, all that will happen... all she could do, was wait...

Luna wiped her tears away. She had done enough of that. She spread out her wings gently gliding back down. Now she wanted to apologize to Hina for what she said. She shapeshifted into a wolf and headed back to Hina. She sat down next to her. "I'm sorry for everything I said and what happened...I just want you to know that I'll be here with you no matter what..." she said quietly.

"I saw my mother again... she's at peace..."Hina looked up at Luna. "She told me to talk it out, because he didn't want to kill them... I don't no how that could be, but..."

Luna sighed, not really understanding it for herself. She shifted back to human. "I don't know...he looked like a heartless killer to me." she mumbled shaking her head. She smiled wryly.

"He's the time keeper though... he's givin missions to keep the 'world in order' or something like that... I don't want to talk to him though... let's go..."

Luna bit her lower lip. "He didn't look like a time keeper when he almost killed me." she growled. She stood up holding out a hand to help her up aswell. "So what do we do now? I don't want to talk to him myself." she said forcing a small laugh.

"I don't know... perhaps we should go back inside first... there's something I need to look at..."she started back inside of the small cottage...

Luna nodded running to catch up with Hina until she did and kept pace. She grinned, "Geez! This has been a crazy day, eh?"

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 8
It might get a little boring...

Hina stepped in front of an aged tapestry that read: Time toont slechts hoe lang wij van elkaar… hebben gehouden (Time only shows how long we've loved each other...)and read it out loud... After hearing the chimes that followed after it, she sighed. "I always loved hearing that..." she sat down on the sofa and looked around the room...

Luna sat down on a chair and looked around, listening to Hina. "You know, this place would feel like home if there weren't preserved dead bodies, blood, and broken glass..." she said randomly thinking hard. "A good dust would do...and a sweeping." she chuckled to herself looking back at Hina. She blinked, "Whats that suppose to mean?" she asked.

"Well it does need a good cleaning... what I just said is dutch for 'Time only shows how long we've loved each other...' Everytime one says that, and really means it, some sort of secret passage is supposed to appear... I haven't found it yet though... my mother would always go in there to think..."

Luna 'hmm'd' She sighed, "Is there a special reason why you want to go there?" she asked. She ran a hand through her hair and then brushed it out of her eyes.

"I think that something important may be there, like her will, or something about the family... I don't know..." She looked behind the tapestry and tapped a loose stone, seeing if that would trigger something... it did. The wall to the right of Hina opened, showing a staircase...

Luna stood up from the chair she was in, and peered into the staircase. But everything was so dark... She leaned closer and then back at Hina. "Well lets just look!" she said. She took a step in and right away lost her footing and tumbled in the darkness disappearing.

Hina lit the stairway ashe she walked down after Luna. when she reached the bottom, she found Luna. "You alright??" she looked around the room, not seeing anything like what she was looking for...

Luna sat up rubbing the back of her head. She stood up nodding, "Yeah. I'm fine." she said dusting herself off. She looked around. "Uhm, is this what you were looking for?" she asked quietly slinking close to Hina where the light was.

"I think so... maybe there is another puzzle..." she stepped on the carving in the center of the room, and it sunk in the ground. She looked around the room and saw a small cabinet open. she walked over to it, and found all the documents on her family, including a will and family tree...

Luna coughed following Hina closely behind her. Her face brightened as she looked at the documents. "Hey...Jackpot." she said. She wasn't going to look at them of course but it was really good! She grinned.

"Hmm... I'm not on the family tree..."she looked at everything, but the family tree puzzled her... even her younger second cousin was there, but not her...

Luna frowned. "Well your right here..." she mumbled. She looked at the documents for herself. After searching herself she stood there dumbfounded. "I wonder why your not on it..." she said.

"I don't know.... I'm not in the will either... Perhaps they were ashamed of me..."she put the documents away and looked around the room again. She didn't see anything that could answer her questions...

Luna put a hand on Hina's shoulder. "Don't say that. Maybe they were protecting you in a way or something..." she said not wanting to believe it for herself. "...Maybe this isn't the real will or documents..." she sighed. But really, it was sort of too easy to find them.

"Maybe not... they could just be a decoy..." she looked around again, and found another tapestry... she walked toward it and saw that it was exactly the same as the one upstairs... she read the inscription, only to see what would happen...

Luna watched anxiously at what would happen. She took a small step forwards behind Hina, hoping this would be the real stuff. She crossed her fingers and bit her lowerlip lightly.

Hina heard a slabe of stone moving. She walked toward the source of the noise, and found a small room, where only a small chest and tow candles lay on a table. She examined the chest and saw that it required a kind of key... the shape on the box looked like two ovals linked together. "I wonder... Luna I'll be right back..." She ran back upstairs and got the locket from her mother...

"Mhm. I'll guard it!" Luna said shapeshifting into a dog and growling at nothing. She looked at Hina and nodded as she sat down like a good doggie.

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 9

Hina ran upstairs to get what she thought was the key... Her mother's locket. She took the locket off her mother's neck and ran back downstairs.... "I think this is the key..."she said, holding out the locket...

Luna looked up at Hina nodding. She shapeshifted back into her human form. "Well what are you waiting for? Try it!" she said anxiously with a grin on her face.

Hina nodded and put the locket in the little impression. The locket fit perfectly, and started to spin rapidly in the keyhole...Luna's eyes grew wide in excitement as she waited for the truth to come.

The key suddenly stopped and the chest flew open... inside the chest was the family's fortune... the real family tree that had gifteds on it... and the real will... showing that everything belonged to her...

Luna smiled proudly, "See, I told you!" she said. She patted Hina's back, "Are you happy now?"

Hina nodded but then looked upstairs quickly, hearing glass breaking for the second time that day....

Luna almost gasped, covering up her mouth so she wouldn't make a sound. She shapeshifted into wolf and her teeth bared and her fur was bristling. "Now might be a good time to talk to him." she growled.

"I don't know if it is a good idea, if he's trying to keill me, but I'll keep him distracted, and see if I can talk to him," Hina ran up the stairs, looking for her worst enemy.......

Luna rolled her eyes running after Hina. Once she got upstairs she looked for Daisuke, ready to tear him to shred if she had too.

Hina looked around for Daisuke and saw him near Moriko..Luna's eyes narrowed and she snapped her jaws with a low growl trying to get Daisuke's attention. If he tried anything she'd be on him like butter on toast.

Hina walked up to Daisuke, and looked him in the eyes... they were completely white... he wasn't the time keeper... but something else... something much more dangerous....

Luna couldn't help but to look in his eyes also. When she saw them her ears went flat against her hand and her tail tucked between her legs. She hid behind Hina. "What IS he?!!!?!?!" she whined.

"Think back to all your childhood stories... what is a creature of the night that feasts on humans? This is him..."she glared at Daisuke, who was just staring back at her, as though waiting for her to say what he truely was...

Luna snarled, "So what are we suppose to do!? We can't kill him, he's not even human." she growled. Her claws dug into the woodden floor in anger and confusion.

"I don't know... how can he be out here if the sun is out as well? I say, for right now, we run to clear our thoughts..."

Luna nodded shapeshifting her normal human form and running to the door. She opened it waiting for Hina. "Come on!" she ushered. They couldn't waste a minute! Plus they would also have to find help. They certainly cold not do this all alone by themselves...

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 10
=D here's Toby!

Tobias stood at the cliffs, his black hair swaying gently in the winds. His dark brown eyes looked at the skies. He took deep breaths, this was just his usual visit to the cliffs so he could have some alone time and to practice his powers. You'd be suprised at how skilled he was with them. He griped his side, a sword, just incase. The 18 year old continued to look into the skies.

"Alright, this time, we should fly... he may not be able to catch us that way..." Hina ran out the door and enfurled her wings, then waited for Luna.

Daisuke began to walk outside, but the sun was to bright at the moment... they had a chance to get away...

Luna nodded quicky shapeshifting into a small kitten and jumping into Hina's arms for a quick run. "GO GO GO GO!!" she screeched.

Tobias rose a brow as he heard voices in that nearby cottage. His head turned in that direction, he merely rolled his eyes and shrugged it off. Whatever, not his problem.

Hina ran three steps then jumped into the air, flying toward the cliffs. There had to be someone that would help, there had to be someway out...

Daisuke looked through his bag and got out something that would help him in the sun...

Luna curled in a ball in Hina's arms. Would they finaly get away? She wished. She looked at where they were heading, the cliffs. She looked down at the forest, wincing and whimpering at their fallen freind, Serenity as they few past her. Then she saw how close they were to the cliffs. Her eyes looked at Tobias. She called to Hina, "Hey there's a guy. He might help..."

"Maybe... We'll find out soon enough..." Hina landed near the guy, but not to close, he might think that she was crazy and not help...

Daisuke ran through the forest faster than he had before, trying to catch up to them... He was nearing the cliffs...

Tobias blinked calmly as his head turned to Hina and a kitten...? He rose a brow but said nothing. He'd seen weirder things than that. Luna shapeshifted into her human from and looked from the forest and then back at Tobias, "Canyouhelpuswe'rebeingstalkedbysomekindathing!!" She blurted all out at once. Tobias blinked, "Er...what...?" he asked quietly.

"Daisuke is a possible Vampire. He's stalking us. He killed my family ten years ago and is trying to kill us now. Can you help us?" Hina looked back at the forest and thought she saw him...

Daisuke was almost to the cliffs, but he slowed his pace... they were talking to someone... He stayed in a shodowed patch of bushes, and listened to their conversation...

Tobias' head tilted to the side, "Why should I, its not my problem..." he said. Meanie! Luna growled through clenched teeth. She grabbed his shirt, "Too late your already in this mess!" she hissed.

Tobias frowned, although he did not move, Luna's hand was pryed away from his shirt. "Look, squirt, you dont' touch me..ever." he growled. Maybe he would help, but Luna was probaly right.

Hina stared at a shadowed spot in the forest... "He's here..." she narrowed her eyese and had the trees hold him still....

Daisuke took his knife and cut the roots that were holding him, then looked toward the sky... night was near...

Tobias turned towards where Hina was looking. He closed his eyes and held out his hand. He put his hand back at his side. Although it was not seen, he made a barrier between them and Daisuke. He looked at Hina and Luna and leaned agaist it as if to tell them they were safe for now. "So can you explain your problem that makes sense...?" Luna's jaw hung open and glared at Tobias, no fair! They've been trying all day to get Daisuke away and he just does that with his hand. Maybe this guy could be useful...

Hina continued to stare at Daisuke, not paying attention to what Tobias said... she could feel his thoughts and feelings through the earth, and his were just... creepy... He enjoyed killing people.... Hina saw all the people he killed just through his one thought... and that was to kill them and mount their bodies in his house....

Luna rolled her eyes as she explained Tobias everything she knew and what happened this past day. "So you see why we need your help??" she asked losing her patience.

Tobias rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah, so I guess I'm in this too." he mumbled. He looked at the darkening night. He then looked at Hina. Was she okay? He looked at Daisuke frowning. He was getting this weird energy from him that he didn't like.

"It was a mistake coming here.... I should have left well enough alone... "She looked up at the sky and knew that was the reason why he was so happy.... he was waiting...

Daisuke could feel his power coming back... that was one of the benefits of being a vampire... He knew that kid did something to keep him away, but that didn't matter, his turn was coming soon...

Luna looked at Hina. "Don't you have the power of light?" she asked quietly losing hope already too soon.

Tobias looked at Daisuke. He looked at Luna and Hina. "Hey I think I have an idea of getting away." he said. He told them of how with his telekenisis powers he could trick Daisuke into thinking they were there but not. Like an illusion. And that should buy them enough time to get away for now.

Hina nodded. "That sounds alright, but why have you suddenly changed your mind? I find it odd..."She looked around the area, thinking...

Daisuke had a feeling that they were planning something, but he didn't know what... He got his weapons ready just incaase they went through the forest...

Tobias merely shrugged, "If it was me, you'd help me right? And besdes the guy sounds like a creep." he said. Luna looked at Daisuke her eyes widening. She shapeshifted into a owl adjusting to the night. "Okay, when do we go?" she chirped.

Tobias blinked, "Uhm anytime you guys want too. The illusions already up." he said.

"Now seems to be a good time..."she spoke distantly, knowing his intentions, she knew this was the beset time...

Daisuke knew that they were planning womething now... but what, he still didn't know... He narrowed his eyes and waited longer...

Tobias looked at the both of them. He nudged Luna with his foot, certainly he couldn't fly on his own. Luna glared at him with big owl eyes as she shapeshifted into a small dragon large enough to carry him. Smoke came out of her nostrils as she growled.

Tobias hopped on and looked at Hina. "Read when you are...I guess." he said

Hina nodded and jumped off the cliff, spread her wings and flying through the air...

Daisuke looked around, feeling as though something happened.
Luna charged to the edge of the cliff and leaped, spreading out her wings and then when she took flight she flew along side Hina. "Where too next, Hina?" she asked.

"There was an old shack somewhere around here.... I used to go there all the time as a child... That might be alright for now..."

Chapter 11

"There's a town nearby...if you need anything. Food...drink. A change of clothes and maybe a discuize(sp?) would be good since he knows what we look like." Tobias pointed out.

"We are low on food... that might work..." she looked around the area, looking for this town...

Tobias nodded slightly. He grabbed onto one of Luna's small dragon ears and steered her in the direction of the town. "HEY WATCH IT!" Luna snarled.

Hina followed the direction Tobias 'steered' Luna toward, thinking of how everything was going wrong...

Soon enough the town came into view. There was a small forest where they could land and then walk to it. Luna landed hard on the ground and shapeshifted back into a human. Tobias merely stood up and calmly walked to the side. Luna spat out dirt, glaring at Tobias and then waited for Hina.

Hina landed next to Luna, looking around... this place seemed familiar as well... Perhaps Yersume took her here on a shopping trip...

Tobias put his hands in his pockets and then headed towards the town.

Hina followed after the others, thinking of what happened here. She couldn't remember if it was something bad, or if it was a great time with Yetsume...

Tobias continued on silently, he stopped pulling back some branches and disappeared. Luna stopped unsure of of what to do. She looked at Hina and then followed into the branches disappearing as well into the town.

Hina stayed behind for a moment, remembering... Daisuke was with them... he robbed a store and killed a lot of people while they were there... That was when Yetsume forbid Daisuke to come near them... That was when he ticked....

Luna poked her head back from the branches at Hina. "...Hey...are you coming? If we don't move he's totally going to ditch us." she said quietly just guessing how Hina felt right now.

Hina woke from her daze with a start. "Sorry, I'm coming..." she walked through the branches and looked around the town, seeing the store he had robbed... {What if they recognize me? I'll only cause more trouble...}shaking her head, she continued on...

Luna took Hina's side, Tobias stood by a wall waiting for them. "There's a market and places to stay the night and stuff around somewhere." he said with a shrug as they approached. Luna binked, "Somewhere?? Well, you better show us 'Mister Town Know-it-all." she said with a frown.

Hina saw as people in the town began to stare at her... they remembered all right, they remembered it all... "We'd better find a place fast then..."

Luna looked around wondering what Hina was looking at. Then she saw that there were townspeople looking at them wierd. She didn't know they were looking at Hina so she literally snapped at them. "HEY WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, TAKE A PICTURE IT'LL LAST LONGER!" and "I DONT LIKE YOUR FACE EITHER!" Tobias tried his best to ignore Luna, "Okay..." he said as he started walking again, Luna looked at him and then back at Hina. She wasn't following him! She'd follow Hina...who was following him...

Hina kept walking, though she got many stares. She ignored it and tried to avoid the market where everything started...
Tobias led them to a small house, the windows were boarded up, leaving small cracks. He opened the door, and it opened with a long creak. He stepped in. Luna looked unsure and waited outside the house not wanting to go without Hina.

Hina looked around again, also unsure, but walked in anyway...

Luna crept in after Hina, the place seemed twice as dark since it was already getting dark outside. Tobias stood in a dark corner. "You two better get some sleep, in the morning it'll be better for all of us." he said. He stepped towards the door, talking a small chair and sitting down. "I'll keep watch...

Luna blinked, was he serious? She sighed she actually was kind of tired, they had a rough day. The first of many. She shapeshifted into a cat and jumped onto a box. She curled in a ball but she just couldn't really sleep.

"I'll be fine... sleep isn't that important to me..."Hina wasn't so sure about this guy anymore...

Tobias just shrugged, "Whatever..." he mumbled. He looked around the room, and picked up a guitar that happened to be laying there. It was covered in dust, and he blew it off. He tuned it for a minute and just silently played.

Hina stared out the window, waiting for morning...

Daisuke realized that the wool had been pulled over his eyes... he curesed then got up, starting for town, having a feeling they would be there...

Chapter 12

Tobias continued to play.

Luna fidgited and twitched in her sleep. Every now and than she'd wake up with wide eyes and look around the room.

Hina continued to stare at the moon, lost in her thoughts...

Daisuke neared the town, knowing they were somewhere there..

Tobias soon stopped and closed his eyes. Has Daisuke figured out that they weren't there? He opened his eyes, staring at the wall as if he were in a trance for a moment and set a barrier around the house for a moment. Hopefully that would buy them enough time to get away. Tobias knew that he was twice as powerful at night.

"Crap..." Hina muttered under her breath. The townspeople where out and about tonight. A few had rifles or other hand guns, and they were on the rampage...

Daisuke stayed back in the forest, seeing the people of the town. He knew that they would remember him, and with those guns...

Tobias snapped out of his little trance. He looked at Hina and rose a brow, "Whats...wrong?" he asked slowly.

"Look for yourself..."she moved out of the window, yet still watched the townspeople... they remembered perfectly...

Daisuke knew that he wouldn't be able to get past the townspeople.... so he waited....

Tobias shook his head. "I'd rather not...come on.." he said. He stood up, his hands searching around the roof until a trapish door opened leading to the roof. He picked up Luna who still slept and put her through it. He held out a hand to Hina waiting for her.

Hina grabbed his hand and climbed through the opening, wondering if they would make it out in time...

Tobias jumped after Hina. Luna awoke with a startled jump as she was on the roof. What the heck was she doing there? She scrambled out of the way when Hina and then Tobias jumped out. What was going on? She shapeshifted into her human form and blinked. "Hey...whats going on?" she yawned.

"Apparently my old friends recognized me..." she looked down at the townspeople, more and more of them gathering at the front of the shack...

Tobias closed the door, and slid down the roof landing on the ground silently. He headed towards the forest, where else did they have to go? Luna stared at Hina in disbelief. She groaned and slid down the roof as well. When she landed she waited for Hina.

Hina slid down the roof after the others, but noticed the looks from the townspeople. What if they followed? Without another thought, she ran into the forest...

Daisuke saw the town huddled near an old shack, with three figures sliding off the roof and running into the forest... He smiled, seeing his chance...

Luna ran after them, she shapeshifted into a wolf again gaining speed. When she was in the forest she caught the scent that somebody else was there but she couldn't quite figure it out. Tobias stopped waiting for them to catch up. His eyes glared, they weren't the only ones in the forest.

He looked at Hina and Luna. "Keep on going, we're not alone..." he said. Luna's eyes grew wide. She looked at Hina and shifted into a horse to make the traveling easier. "You better be careful..." she growled.

Hina looked around, also sensing Daisuke through the earth... She shook her head and continued walking...
Daisuke stayed hidden in the bushes, watching the three of them...

Tobias put a hand on the top of his sword. His eyes began to glow as everything around him began shaking. This was going to end once and for all.

Hina stopped then looked at Tobias. What was he going to do?
Daisuke fell out from his hiding place as everything began to shake...

Luna skidded to a stop and then nipped lightly at Hina's shoulder. "Come on, Hina..." she whined.

Tobias gaze snapped to Daisuke, he raised a hand it almost curled in a fist. Right now, Daisuke would be feeling like he was being choked, because he was with Tobias' powers. He was just buying time to get Hina and Luna away.

Hina didn't want to leave, but walked off with Luna anyway...
Daisuke gasped for air, feeling something closing around his throat...

Tobias lifted Daisuke in the air but no, he wasn't going to kill him yet. He looked around for something sturdy while he had Daisuke still in the air. He pinned him hard against a large tree and tied him up there. Knowing the mob was there he called, " HEY I FOUND SOMETHING OVER HERE!" to get them there. With that said, he bounded after Hina and Luna.

Daisuke tried to loosen the bounds but failed miserably... Hearing the townspeople coming, he knew all was lost...

Tobias caught up with Hina and Luna with not even so much as breaking a sweat. "I guess now we can calm down and wait for now." he said. Luna blinked shifting back into her human form. She sat down shifting to a dog and lifting an ear to hear what was going to happen nearby.

The townspeople ran up to Daisuke, also recognizing him... taking advantage of his situation, they shot at him, killing him...

Hina heard the shots in the distance, feeling his death through the earth...

Tobias blinked as he heard shots. Luna flinched out of her skin. "...I think we should be going...now" he said as he began walking a little faster in the opposite direction of the gun shots. Luna started shivering but trotted after him.

Hina stayed for a minute, thinking about what just happened... She almost felt sorry for him... shaking her head, she ignored the sounds and looked to the sky...

Tobias stopped looking back at Hina. "If you stay here your probaly going to get shot..." he said...

"I realize that... I was just... thinking..."she spoke distantly, but turned back and followed Tobias and Luna...

Luna stopped and looked at Hina. "You think alot. What are you thinking about anyways?" she asked.

"Nothing, nothing... it's not that important..."she looked at the sky again, still thinking...

Luna sighed but shook her head. She turned around to start walking again. Tobias had stopped and looked at Hina. He was trying to read her thoughts. Luna looked up at him, what was he doing? She was about to ask but he put a hand on her head so that they both could know what was going on with Hina.

Hina thought about how much had changed, and what will happen in the near future. She had flashbacks about her past, and imagined the horrid path ahead... no one knew that she knew that much...

Tobias blinked taking his hand off Luna who also stepped back. But they both got it together for they couldn't let Hina know they invaded her privacy. He just coughed in his hand and continued on shaking his head.

Hina had a feeling they knew something, but shook it off... perhaps it would be better that way, them knowing exactly what she knew...

Luna bounded up to Hina. "Hey so where to next? Do you want to go back to the school?" she asked with a grin. Tobias blinked.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I don't have to go to class... unless it's orchestra, choir, biology, botany, or chemistry..." she looked around again, still thinking about the future, and how everything was going to die......

[Spiffzzz]

Chapter 13

Sea green eyes open the gates to the school, a smile upon her face as she gazed at the school. "We're hereeee." she called to Tobias and Hina. She turned around with a smug smile on her face. She shaped shifted into a puppy dashing off into the area. Some of the people looked at her weird and sort of just avoided her. Luna looked at them with sad eyes but nothing. She whimpered laying down and her head laying on her paws. She never did fit in anywhere.

Tobias stepped after Luna but said not a word. He walked calmly down the sidewalk, making sure not to step on Luna as she walked. Unlike Luna, he got somewhat of a different response from the people. Girls' eyes literally popped out of their head as they stared at him. Tobias rolled his eyes, he hated that. He always hated that. He walked over to where Luna was and picked up the small pup and held her in his hands. He sat down on a bench and waited for Hina.

Hina looked around the area, watching the students with a blank expression... no one even noticed her. She shook her head and walked over to the others, thinking of a message she intended to send to everybody long ago... she still had the message, written in a composition notebook... she could still inform everyone about what she knew...

Daisuke watched the students through the bushes, escaping from before... His 'minions' were with him... Katashi, Mokato, Chihiro, and Haruki... Each had special gifts, but he was wary of Katashi... he helped the victims... Smiling, he shook his thoughts away and knew their chance was coming...

Luna sighed just sitting in Tobias' arms. The she snapped out of her momentarily trance and jumped out shape shifting into her human form. She sat down calmly brushing some of her fur out of her face with her hand. She smiled at Hina, "Hah...we're back where we started." she joked

She looked at Tobias and then all the girls who were kinda staring at him. "You'll get along in this place..." she teased. Just by the look of his face she knew he wouldn't like it that much.

Tobias merely sighed. He looked at Hina, wondering if she knew something that she didn't tell Luna or him. He was going to ask her about it when his attention went to Luna and that little comment. He glared at her and messed up her hair with a hand and pushed her off the bench.

Hina felt like she was being watched... she looked around, but saw nothing. The feeling didn't leave... she sighed, knowing that she was just being paranoid... or was she? She noticed a girl staring at Tobias nearby and sent a small tremor her way, knocking her over...

Luna growled but sat on the bench again. She couldn't help but to laugh as Hina knocked over the girl. It was funny because that girl had no idea what was coming and ran off screaming. Something about her hair. Whatever. She shape shifted into a puppy again and running to Hina sitting next to her. She frowned and started looking around. She smelt something familiar and something else...

Tobias looked at Hina blankly and then at the girl who ran off. He let out a slight chuckle, controlling himself from dying of laughter. He looked around feeling that same energy from somebody who he thought was dead. He shook it of, no way, he was dead. He was just thinking crazy

Something new was happening now... instead of only feeling the emotions, Hina could hear their feelings and intentions... It was Daisuke, and he brought friends... she snapped up off of the bench and looked in the area were the voices lead, right behind where they sat... he couldn't be alive...

Daisuke saw Hina and glared, thinking... He motioned to the others, who vanished with him...

Tobias immediately stood up, while Luna jumped to her paws and started growling. Before anything could start they must have disappeared. Tobias' eyes were wide, ~How could he be alive!?~ was his bitter thought to himself. Luna's soft fur stood at ends but she forced herself to relax.

She shape shifted back into a human and her hands clenched into fists. "They're really getting on my nerves..." she hissed through clenched teeth. Tobias sighed heavily, putting a hand on both Hina's and Luna's shoulders. "We're safe for now...but its not over..."

"I have a feeling that it will never be over..." Hina searched through the earth(with her gift) trying to find them, but they had disappeared... she closed her eyes to concentrate More, spreading the search... they were close... in a nearby cavern.... "I need to think... Excuse me..." Hina left the others, walking toward the garden...

Tobias and Luna watched as Hina left. They sighed and just stood there. After about a minute they looked at each other, at the same time blurting out "UGH!" and departing from eachother...

This was juuuussst great. They separated. Might as well hand them out on a silver platter!
