Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Sarah removed her hands, Makie was relieved. Well semi relieved, it means that Sarah could eventually leave her. Alone. But she was wrong, Sarah was not the type to do that. The dark teenager realized that as well, but it wasn't hers or Sarah's fault. Then the brunette began to listen to the strawberry blond's answer. 'She jumped in the water, because it was hot...' Makie thought rather sarcastically. 'What is with that? Couldn't she just go into some shade while drinking ice water?' The small teenaager shook her head on the inside, but didn't move an inch on the outside.

"No, it's okay. Please leave me alone." Makie asked again. Sarah just wouldn't leave. The cosplaying girl just seemed to stay with her no matter what. Thing is, it didn't matter to the brunnette today. If she got a headache, it would go away sometime in the future. Suddenly a wave of cold water washed over her full body. Makie removed a few wet strand of dark brown hair, this revealed her annoyed chocolate eyes.

"That's not funny. Please leave me alone." The teenager said icely. She didn't want anyone to talk to her, she didn't want to have cold water dumped on her. But obviously she would not recieve any of her wishes today. What would be next? It might start raining ice or fire. Or something strange like that could happen. Then her left arm grabbed the edge of the fountain. Almost like Makie was stopping herself from personally raising a fist tosome one. Mainly the Ranma Girl that had just splashed water all over her.

"Sarah... Listen." Makie said rather slowly. "Leave.... Me.... ALONE!" The brunette practically yelled. She felt a little sorry for yelling. Sarah only wanted to help, but it was a little annoying. Besides she said that she wanted to be by herself for about a billion times. Well not a billion times, but it certainly felt like that.

She could feel Makie starting to get aggrivated in pain and sorrow. It seemed that she still had some tears to cry, so does Sarah. But she smiles them away when ever she is sad or angry. She slowly placed her arms by her side, just a minute ago she was asking Makie if she wants to battle her to make her feel a little better. She walked slowly towards Makie, hesitating a little bit when she could hear Makie yelling at her.

No, its okay. Please leave me alone. Thats not funny. Please leave me alone. Sarah..liten. Leave..Me...ALONE!

When she heard all that she cringed a little bit, like a coward hiding in a corner of a room. But Sarah is a pirate she has to stay strong no matter what is against her, even if it is emotional yelling from a little preteen. She somehow slipped by her yelling and sat next to Makie. She sipped an arm around her neck and hugged her motherly, like what her mother did when Sarah was sad. She hugged her and told her to take deep breaths and let it all out. Let everything out.

"Shhh...Makie Just let it all out..i can keep a secret. I know something is bottled up inside your heart that you're dying to tell someone." She said as she patted Makie's back, trying to calm makie down. It seemed that Makie was hiding something from everyone. She wondered what it could be. But once again, Sarah was ignoring her request to be alone.

Tatsu summoned and dismissed a small blue flame over and over, enjoying his newfound, yet still limited, control over Twilight. He would've sat there forever had the screams of a girl distracted him from the flame. The energy vanished and Tatsu frowned, looking up at the two girls by the fountain. He sighed and thought, Why do some people insist on being so loud? Trying to hone my powers here, and these people are throwing temper tantrums... Tatsu yawned as he scratched the back of his head, deciding to listen in to find out what was wrong. If my control training is going to be interupted, I at least have a right to know what's happening.

Tatsu's eyes became glazed in blue energy as a force of air shot out from his face, causing his hair to blow back. His vision stretched as his sight moved next to the girls, followed by his hearing. I guess this pointless power does have its uses.

Makie raised an eyebrow as Sarah laughed. What was she laughing at? Hopefully not her. That made the brunnette angry just thinking about it. Soon the laughter died down, but her hands still clenched in fists of anger. It annoyed her moer that the fact that Sarah kept calling her name, refusing to leave, and even more, attempting to comfort her. Of course the fact about the pirate girl going on about secrets, was pushing Makie to the edge. She'd lose control and of course, this would be beyond anything Makie ever done in her life.

"No... Not every secret shall be known. And the fact I have told others already is good enough for me. I'm happy and content with the few people I have talked with. Sakura, I found out her secret on my own. But yet, I know she is still hiding things from me. And O-Oliver has his secrets he had not shared with me as well..." The teenager said, hating the fact how she was acting but still have enough courage to talk about her crush. "Who knows if Misty has secrets. Feena is quiet and probably has several secrets. And tha same with you!"

But what the pirate girl said next had shocked the small teenager. Her jaw dropped, as her chocolate eyes stared in both anger and wonder. It was just turning out to be the most perfect day! The best day Make ever had in her entire life. And she means the worse day in her life. Not only was Oliver's name mentioned, she was just about to lose herself in more ways then one.

"He... He wouldn't care! Well, maybe a little! But.. I'd push him away! Yeah!" Makie voice said, not making up her mind. "Yeah, I'd push him away! I wouldn't care!" Her chocolate brown eyes proved this wrong. As they looked in shock and fear of the words that came from her mouth. Makie's hand rose, stopping in mid air, her face looked grim. First she brang it back then swung it foward, slapping Sarah in the face.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!!" Don't you dare change the subject! Don't you dare mention his name!" Then she repeated the shrill cry. "NOOOOO!!!!!!!" The small teen cried out. She was pushed too far, and in result, she had hurt some one.

[ No, just sometimes authors do that. They compare rain to crying. Sorry. sweatdrop ]

The rain continued the fall and fall, dripping onto Sarah's face and down her body, almost like it was melting her away into the depths on earth. Sarah stood still, stiffly. Her hands were kletched together in fists as her ocean-like eyes stared at the grass swyaing back and forth. This rain, it reminded her of something or actually someone. Yes, her sister. Her sister was so beautiful, that all the men pirates fell in love with her. Sarah isn't ugly, she is just normal, but she didn't feel important to anyone but her father and mother. Her sister was always treated like an angel, a queen.

But, Sarah was crying, but her tears were being hidden by the rain, she could fell the warm drops, her tears, mixing with the cold yet refreshing rain. She slowly placed her hand near a tear. How long has it been since she cried? She doesn't remember. The truth is, Makie reminded her of her sister, sweet and kind, and Makie looked like a younger version, like her sister was reincarnated. Then, the storm became more powerful, but not like a huricane, like a thunderstorm. Thunder rumbled as lightning danced around them. It reminded her of that day, yes, the day her sister died.

***********

A girl with long strawberry-blonde hair, ocean-like eyes, with a baby face stood by the rails of the boat. It was Sarah. The rain was thunderous as it echoed through the night. No one knew Sarah was on the railings, not even her father. She was just playing around. Even Sarah's singing can be heard through the roaring rain. Thats when there came a voice from an older girl. She had long blonde hair and brown chocolate eyes, just like Makie's.

"Sarah..please get down! Its dangerous." she yelled through the rain as she stepped closer to her little sister, the wind banging through her body making it harder to get to Sarah. Sarah kept on skipping on the rails, where one side was the safety and the other side was the roaring ocean waters. Sarah danced on the rails, like it was a balance beam in gymnastics, except your life depends on it.

"Don't worry, sister, i can manage i won't fa-" thats when she slipped. Sarah started to fall towards the edge where the ocean was, and then she fell. But something caught her, it was her sister, she caught Sarah's hands before she actually fell into the angry ocean. Sarah was holding her sisters hands tighter, as she rotated her body in angels so she could confortable and her hands won't slip through her sister's hand. Sarah coulnd't remember that much, she was delirous at that point because of the rain, but her sister did look an angel, her long blonde hair was blowing in the wind as she kept a frim grip of her sister, not wanting to let go.

She remembered her sister actually getting Sarah back on the boat, but then something terrible happened. When Sarah's sister's pulled her back up, she leaned back on the rails, not knowing that the rails were broken from Sarah dancing on them. With a sudden crack of the rails, Sarah's sister fell right into the ocean.

"BIG SISTER!!!" Sarah cried out through the winds as tried to catch her sister, but failed. For a few minutes her hand just stayed int he position like she actually did saved her sister, and Sarah began to cry. Her tears were like orbs of jems, preicous jems. She remembered her mother coming up from downstairs of the boat and hugging her, trying to hush her crying up by rocking back anf forth. But Sarah remembered the moon, the moon looked as it was crying as well.

****

Sarah's eyes widened as Makie yelled out that she killed her parents. Sarah was speachless, how can she reply to that? She just watched Makie cry and then to the point where she coulnd't fell herself and started to run away. Far away from Sarah. It sickened her how she couldn't even stop Makie.

"Why....why can't i ever do things right..? Why?" she murmured through the winds, as she jerked her head away where Makie ran off to. How can a sweet little girl, a girl who smiled every single minute, kill her parents. How? HOW? thats when anger came into her heart. How can she be so stupid and become friends with a murderer!! Especially someone who killed off her parents, how unhuman, how cruel. Sarah's tears came down her face faster and harder as she kneelt down on the thick grass and started punching the ground.

Thats when Sarah remembered something. A glimpse of her sister. Sarah is cruel to and unhuman like Makie, she killed her own sister by her clumsiness. By being stupid. Makie and Sarah weren't the same, and Makies parents death might be more deep than Sarah's sister. But Sarah's sister and her shared an unbreakable friendship, like they were best friends.

I must find Makie!?! I'm not losing another friend..not now..not ever she thought as she stood up, she was to the point where she couln't feel the rain drops anymore, they were just mere water anyways. She pushed her limits, her strength was almost gone, and she went off. She started to run off to find Makie before the storm does.

"MAKIE!!?!! MAKIEE!!" she yelled out through the wind, her hands cupping where her lips were, her chinese her gown was soaked to the point where you could see her bra, but she didn't care. She ran faster and faster through the roaring winds until she finally found Makie. Makie was standing right there, standing still in her tears.

"Makie..?" she questioned as she placed her hand over her heart like she was suffering a heartache. Sarah blinked a couple of times and ran over to Makie. Her arms wrapepd around Makie, in a hug, and she started crying again. It looked as if Sarah was a shield, as if lightning ever hit them, Sarah would be the first to get hit. Sarah felt like she was on a ship of fools.

((Wow, sorry if this was long))

Sarah hugged Makie like there was no end, like Sarah was Makie's older sister, a caring sister that Makie needed. Sure, there was Misty, but it seems that Misty is a bit distant. Sometimes this made Sarah wonder if something happened in Misty's past? Tears strolled down her cheeks as she hugged Makie like she was a stuffed panda bear. She nested her nose in Makie's hair, smelling her scent. Her tears plopped on the brown haired makie as Sarah's body started to shake a little bit.

She felt like she was a different world, an imaginary place called Heaven. A place her mother use to tell stories about, she felt that she was in heaven. That she finally had a friend. Sure, many people think Heaven is a place where the dead goes. Heaven is actually a place for bliss. If you were in love thats Heaven. If you were happy about something or a small object thats Heaven. Heaven is more then just a place its a place that can be imaginary.

Sarah's radiant body heat kept Makie warm while she felt cold. From the rain, the wind, everything. She felt cold, but she did feel a small candle inside that kept her living. She listened to Makie speak, Makie apologizing over and over again.

"No Makie. I should be sorry. I should of left you alone and shut my mouth up. I should of kept my space between you so you can have this day all by your self. I should of not provoked you about Oliver and such. I'm such a horrible person. You should forgive me." she said as she loosened her embrace. She pulled away from Makie leaving a few feet.

"..Makie...i'm very sorry..." she said as her lips vibrated like she was going to break down crying once again. She soon swiftly wiped away the upcoming tears so it seems like she was trying to stay strong. The slap mark was still there, you can see it clearly, and it was still very painful. She could feel the stings, but she avoided the pain gracefully.


"You're the only friend i have" she said as the rian lightened up. It seemed the clouds were rushing away, like they were sensing that Makie was no longer Dark. Like the sky changes upon Makie's moods.

"Hopefully You'll forgive me. If you don't, i understand clearly." she said as her vision shifted down at her feet. Watching the grass blades sway lighter and lighter, until it came to a dead stop.

"I Am a horrible person"
