Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dat kan best ja, dat die 3 letters niet in de tekst staan O.o Oh well. Niet erg ^_^ Ze bestaan wel, maar de q en de x zullen waarschijnlijk nooit echt in het Sekens gebruikt worden.

Sekense tekens zijn soms behoorlijk gecompliceerd. maar hier zit een logica achter! Mensen die kunnen lezen en schrijven, zijn mensen die verdraaid veel vrije tijd hebben (de rijke mensen dus). Dus, dan hebben ze ook de tijd om gecompliceerde tekens te maken! Al vind ik niet alle tekens van mijn woorden even leuk..... misschien moet ik die gewoon maar veranderen.........

Tuurlijk! Het alfabet veranderd in ieder geval niet ^_^ Daar ben ik tevreden over ^_^

Forever Young
Episode 28: Once again
(c)2003 Kitty Ocean

"Naraku!" Matsuru pushed himself through the bushes. "Naraku, wait!" But Naraku didn't listen. With a firm face she steadily walked on. Suddenly Matsuru grabbed her arm. "Naraku, what the hell is going on?" He demanded to know.
Naraku looked from the arm to Matsuru. "We have to go."
"But why?"
Naraku pulled herself loose. "Hunter wants me and I not want that." She reached the camp, where Ao, Mayonaka and Sushi were waiting.
"Hunter?" Blade asked. "Who's a hunter?"
"What's going on?" Mayonaka asked. "I only fell asleep for a few minutes. Did Amordus return?"
"Amordus is dead." Naraku picked up some things and walked at Apple. "We have to go now."
"Amordus is dead?!" Matsuru yelled. "Naraku, how do you know that?!"
Naraku stopped for a minute. "I... felt that..." She turned around. Her eyes showed big confusion and fear. "Hunter says he hunts Magic User. Matsuru says I am a Magic User."
"A hunter?" Mayonaka asked.
Ao and Sushi disagreed. "No..." Ao said. "THE Hunter."
All looked surprised at the Elves. Brother and sister, but only one of them had found their earth magic... a Magic User. "If The Hunter is after her, Naraku is in big trouble." Sushi continued. "He's a sort of bounty hunter; he hunts down Magic Users for money."
"But why?" Blade asked. "Why would anyone want to pay for that?"
Ao stepped forward. "Some Magic Users want more power. The hard way is years and years of training..."
"And the easy way?" Mayonaka was afraid to ask.
Sushi looked at her friend with piercing eyes. "Steal it." She replied. "Stealing the powers from other Magic Users. And if you are powerful and rich enough..."
"You can afford a Hunter." Matsuru looked at Naraku, who was still standing close to Apple. "Then that means a Magic User wants Naraku... How stupid of me!"
Blade was confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Think about it Blade." Matsuru turned around. "The Black Knights. They wanted to catch Naraku- ALIVE! They didn't want her for themselves. The Black Knights aren't Magic Users at all!"
"But it's told a powerful warlock commands them..." Blade admitted and felt so stupid. "Dang, why did WE have to cross the path of fighting Magic Users! It's over, we're all gonna die!"
"Gosh, isn't someone optimistic." Sushi sarcastically mumbled.
"Not talk!" Naraku yelled. "Not talk, not talk! We go! Now!"
Mayonaka took her bag. "Finally someone who is talking sense. If a Hunter wants Naraku, we'd better leave and try to loose him."
All agreed and quickly gathered their belongings. "Like that will work...." Blade sighed.

Soon they were on the road, once again fleeing from someone. Just 1 person, but that person had quite a reputation! If they stayed it would mean that they had to guard Naraku each single moment of the day. No... that was not a life... especially for Naraku.
Naraku had also told them that the Hunter mentioned Sandolean. Apparently Sandolean knew the Hunter, but in which way? Had he hired him? No... Sandolean didn't seem like a Magic User, or someone who tells people what to do. No, he was someone who had to be told what to do.
So, who ordered Sandolean? Who was the Magic User that wanted Naraku? Slowly the pieces of the puzzle were gathered... but not enough to see the picture.
Riding on the horses they were silent. A horse would be faster than a human being, but 2 people on 1 horse already slowed them down.
"So what now?" Ao asked. "Where are we going?"
Matsuru shook up, as if he was caught in deep thoughts. "Huh, what?" He asked.
"Where are we going?" Ao asked. "Any clue where we will be safe?"
Matsuru doubted. "I... don't have a clue. I don't know any place safe enough..."
Naraku pointed into a direction. "There we go!" She decided.
Blade took his compass. "North-east." He mumbled. "I wonder why there."
Matsuru rode next to Naraku. "Why there Naraku?" He asked. Naraku looked at him with a doubting face. "Let me guess, you feel that, don't you?" Naraku nodded. "You sure feel a lot..."
Naraku saw Matsuru turning away. Sharing a horse was not new for her; she already did it once with Matsuru. But that Mayonaka was in front of her, was new.
Carefully Naraku looked back. The forest slowly became smaller and smaller. 'Shadowhunter...' She thought, 'You say you are always there for me... Do you know I am leaving?' Naraku tried to use her telepathy, but it didn't work. Sadly she looked at the forest.
Blade noticed Naraku was staring at the forest. "Naraku?" He asked. "Everything okay?"
Naraku shook her head. "Heart... hurts..." She admitted.
"Because of that wolf?" Naraku looked up and saw a smile from Blade. "Guess I was right. That wolf... was the same you hunted with, wasn't you?"
Naraku nodded. "Shadowhunter..."
"You gave that wolf a name?!" Sushi blurted out.
Blade ignored her. "A nice name." He complimented. "Fits this black wolf. You two seem to be friends."
Naraku shook her head. "No." She said. "Shadowhunter not just friend. Shadowhunter is more."
"More than a friend?" Matsuru asked.
Naraku tried to find the words. "Shadowhunter is... like... family."
Silence showed it stunned them all. A wolf... family to Naraku? Impossible! She was not a wolf! For a second the thought 'wolf turned human' appeared in Matsuru's head, but he knew that was impossible. A wolf turned human would have acted so differently.
"They say..." Matsuru looked up, and saw it was Mayonaka who started speaking. "a wolf is life itself. With each hunt they take life, but in the end... they give their lives back to the earth. And in each song they thank Seken for all their blessings."
Matsuru smiled. "And I was taught that wolves were ruthless killers..."
Mayonaka looked back at him. "We humans can learn a lot from animals." She admitted. "A wolf never takes more than he needs."
"We humans just take, and take, and take..." Blade added.
"Well, thank the High Ones I'm not human!" Ao raised his fist in the air, but got smacked against his head by Sushi.
"You baka." She grumbled. A chill filled the air, for the first time since Naraku woke up. She grabbed her arms as a reflex and shivered. Sushi noticed it. "Don't worry." She smiled. "I'll make you a nice jacket." Then Sushi suddenly realised something. "North-east... winter comes there sooner than where we came from..."
"What are you trying to say?" Matsuru asked.
"Well, unless you like to become walking snowmen, we have to stop once in a while." Sushi answered. "I need warm fabrics. We all need clothes. And warm ones too!"
Blade looked at Matsuru and then at Sushi. "How fast can you sew?" He asked.
"How fast can you get me fabrics?"
"How fast can you get us to a town?"
"How fast can you stop doing this?" Matsuru asked.


Back in the forest, the Hunter stepped out of the forest as well. Calmly he walked away from it. Suddenly Sandolean burst through the bushes, gasping for air. "Man, are you hard to find!" He breathed. "So, did you get her?"
"Nope." The Hunter replied and started whistling.
"Nope?!" Sandolean exclaimed. "What do you mean: 'Nope'?!"
The Hunter smiled. "That means I haven't got her yet."
"But... you are THE Hunter!"
"Indeed."
Sandolean jumped before him. "Wait a minute, how CAN'T you have her?! You said she was here! Oh High Ones, don't tell me you killed her! Lord Zashjan will..."
"Oh, will you shut up?" The Hunter yelled. "She's NOT dead!"
"Then were is she!?"
The Hunter looked at the ground... saw some horse tracks and stepped up again. "Away."
"And you're not worried at all?!"
"Like I said... I can find ANYONE." The Hunter started walking once more. "The hunt has just began."
Sandolean followed him. "I hope for your sake you will find her... and soon. Because Lord Zashjan already waited too long."


"Indeed." Lord Zashjan said, looking into a mirror that showed Sandolean and The Hunter. "I've waited long enough." He took a drink. With a wave from his hand the image changed and showed Naraku and her friends. "Oh, you young innocent being. How much trouble you cause... more than any of your kind. And yet... you have no clue what you really are... and what the limit of your powers are."
Lord Zashjan sipped from his drink. "I think your powers will taste the best..." He took his necklace and held it close to the mirror. Suddenly it started to glow. "Oh yes." Lord Zashjan smiled. "Your powers will taste the best."


Not aware of anything Lord Zashjan had said, Naraku and her friends continued their journey North-east. They didn't know why they were going there. They just knew Naraku had made a right choice. Yet, their hearts were also filled with doubt.
Naraku... this strange girl... what did she base her choice on? And what about their own safety? They were with Naraku, and she was the target of a dangerous Magic User Hunter! They just knew he wouldn't hesitate to kill them if they were in his way.
'No'. All thought, 'it's wrong to think like that!'
Matsuru took Naraku's hand. "Whatever happens Naraku." He said. "I will protect you. Even if that means giving up my own life."
"Me too." Blade added. "No one will hurt my own little Magic User! Not as long as I am around!"
Naraku looked at them, hearing their promises. She didn't knew how to react.
>This is the time where you say 'Thank you'< Naraku looked at Sushi who winked at her.
"Thank you." Naraku said. She just wished she knew what Matsuru and Blade had meant...
