The Village S1 (Rough Draft)

[Beebs]

Kohana sat down and Miyo followed by taking a seat on the soft grass. "I notice that you seem more cheerful than you did when we first met." Miyo said to Vincent, "But I also noticed how deep in thought you are at times. Is it because you're a little homesick?"


Vincent turned to Miyo and then looked down. "It's not that," he said with a sigh. "I'm actually glad to be away from Kalm. It's just... ever since I've gotten here, I've been thinking about someone who was dear to me over thirty years ago. I can't seem to get her out of my head."


Miyo looked up at Vincent seeing how he looked a little broken-hearted. Kohana was resting on Miyo's lap and playing with the petals of the flowers she collected. "She hurt you" Miyo replied showing a little pity, "You don't want to show it, but the pain is there, isn't it?"


Vincent was silent for a moment and he simply nodded in reply. "She did," he said softly as he continued to look down. "She was the reason that I'm like this now and she's the reason I'm still alive. She chose Hojo, damn it. Why couldn't Lucrecia have let me die when that bastard shot me?"

[Beebs]

Miyo looked down as she played with Kohana's hair. "Maybe she still loved you and didn't want to see you die. Her heart may have said you but she let this 'Hojo' guy fill her thoughts with other things." Miyo said softly, "I'm actually glad that she let you live. It's hard to bear the pain, but at least you know that someone is thinking of you, right?"


Vincent sighed and glanced over at Miyo. "Well, even if she did actually care about me, it doesn't matter now," the man as he looked up at the moon. "That happened thirty three years ago and she's encased herself in Mako crystals. In other words, she's in suspended animation forever."

"I've always been alone," he continued. "I never had a family to care or love for me. All I had was my father, and he was never living with me or near me. When I met Lucrecia, I actually thought that I was worth something, and maybe life was worth living. But when she betrayed me and rejected me, I felt like my heart was ripped out."

The Turk's red eyes glowed as he stared up into the moon. "Besides, who would care about a man like me?" he asked softly. "I mean, look at me. There's nothing to see."

[Beebs]

By now Kohana was asleep and Miyo looked up at Vincent. She wanted to get up and tell him how she felt but she didn't want her sister's head on the hard ground.

"Well we care." Miyo grinned staring at his eyes, "Kohana has been happy and cheerful ever since you got here and I have too. I know it's only been a day but you bring this pleasant feeling that pushes worries aside. We not only see you on the outside, but we see also the wonderful person inside." She looked away and added softly, "I want to see you happy."

Vincent looked down at Miyo and was silent once more. He tried to think of what to say, but his mouth failed to pull out words. "Thank you," he simply said after a few moments. He sighed and tented his fingers. "I guess... I want to see you happy, too." The man smiled and then lowered his head.


Miyo placed the flower she had been holding for the longest inside Kohana's basket and picked another one. She took in a deep breath and looked at Vincent. "You don't have to say that if you don't mean it." Miyo replied, "You can be honest. I don't want to say that just because of what I said."

Miyo picked another Spider-lily and glaced at it. After a minute she continued, "I want to see you happy because it makes me happy to see it and I'm sure Kohana is happy when you are also. I don't know much of your past but I know that you had a lot of hardships and others gave you a difficult time. You really deserve so much Vincent; you have to believe that you do."

[Beebs]

Suddenly, a cloaked figure approached the scene and slowly crept up to the two adults. "Isn't that lovely?" the shadow, whose voice seemed to be masculine, uttered with a hint of sarcasim. "Tell me, would you two mind if I stick around for a little Q and A?"

Vincent stood up and gripped Cerberus at his side. "Who the hell are you?" he asked as he stepped in front of the girls to protect them. He pulled out his gun and aimed it directly at him. "Answer me or die."

[Beebs]

The hooded figure let out a quick laugh while shaking his head. "Ah, temper, temper," the man replied, folding his hands across his chest. "You're just a bag of fun, my friend. Well, I suppose this is the time where I spill the beans."

The mysterious man then pointed to Miyo, and a smirk crossed his face. "I got some information for your little friend, missy," he said slyly. "Why don't you be a good girl and go somewhere for a while? I promise know one will be hurt."

Vincent did not move a muscle and he continued to outstretch his arm and aim Cerberus. "I think not," he said though his teeth as he thinned his eyes. "I have no idea who you are. There's no way I'm sending Miyo away just because you tell me too." The Turk glanced over his shoulder at the young woman and nodded.

Miyo made a tiny gasp as she gave a small nod to Vincent. "He's really concerned for me," she thought, "Never in my life would I have imagined someone could be like that."

The figure clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Not a smart move, man," he retorted sharply. "I'm helping you here. Maybe if you catch some of this, you'll be able to keep your life before things... get dangerous."

"Danger?" Miyo questioned, "What do you mean?!"

"Well, the only way for you to find that out is for him to hear what I have to say...alone." The figure responded.

Vincent looked down at the ground and fell into thought. The man wasn't certain of what he would do. He didn't want to abandon Kohana and Miyo, but he also needed to hear what this man at to say, in case he knew something about why he and Kikyo were in Riyona.. The Turk lowered Cerberus and shifted his red eyes toward the stranger. "I'm sorry, but if my friend cannot hear your information, then I cannot hear it," he said as he relaxed himself once more. "Why is it you cannot tell Miyo your information?"

"Sorry," the hodded man responded, "Rules are rules. You can either come with me to hear what I have to say or leave. Your choice."

Miyo sighed and replied, "It's ok. We'll be here. If it's important then you should go." She gave Vincent a small shrug and looked down at Kohana.

[Beebs]

The hooded man rolled his hidden eyes and crossed his arms once more. "Come on, come on," he lightly growled, beginning to tap his foot to a beat playing in his head. "I haven't got all night, y'know. Just trust me, she'll be fine."

Vincent rolled his eyes and sighed. "That's what I worry about," he groaned. He looked at Miyo and nodded. "If you need me, just holler and call my name, alright?"

The young woman looked up and gave the Turk a reassuring smile. "Right," she said softly. "Everything will be alright, Vincent. It's going to be ok."

The man nodded and walked toward the hooded figure. A strange and malevolent feeling resided about him, but Vincent quickly shook it off a moment later. "Ah, now that's better," the shadow uttered with a scoff. "So, let's get to our little Q and A, shall we? Tell me, have you lived in this world since your birth?"

Vincent looked over at Miyo once more and then closed his eyes. "No," he said in a melancholy voice. "I wasn't born of this world. I was born sixty years ago in a city called Midgar."

A smirk grew upon the shadow's hidden face as he cunningly devised a quick plot in his mind. "Perfect," he muttered in a low, inaudible tone. "All according to plan."

[Beebs]

Sitting upon the ground with her sister resting on her lap, Miyo couldn't help but look over to Vincent every so often. Her moon lit eyes gazed upon him intently and she was certain that he never left her sight. "I can't help but feel rather helpless," the woman thought while looking away. She lowered her chin and let out a sigh. "What if what that man was saying is true...what if Vincent is really in danger?."

The shadow continued. "So, from my understanding, you just popped into this little world out of the blue?" the figure inquired, darting his eyes at Miyo for a brief glance. "You've arrived here quite by accident?"

The Turk nodded and was silent for a few moments before speaking once again. "That's right," he simply said crossing his arms as his eyes thinned. "Look, I don't know who you are and I don't even know your intentions. So, who sent you? Why are you here? I want answers and I want them now."

"Of course," the shadow replied while a sneer grew upon his covered face. "Let's just say that I'm not exactly the good or bad guy in this little scenario. Does that answer your question?"

The man touched Cerberus at his side and his eyes entered an intense glare. "I'm afraid not," he responded sharply. Vincent advanced toward the man and he began to draw his gun from its case. "Understand, if the situation calls for it, I won't hold back. I'll ask you again: who the hell are you?"

Miyo looked over at Vincent and noticed the bitter expression on his face. "Something's wrong," the young woman whispered softly before looking down at Kohana. She took off the top layer of her clothing ((don't worry she has clothes under them XDD)) and made a pillow for the young girl. She lifted her head and placed the cloth under it. Miyo kissed her sister's forehead and got up from her position a moment after. Cautiously approaching the two men, the young woman loomed with various emotions residing about her. She tensed herself as the unknown figure snapped his head to her direction, and the whites of Vincent's eyes were in her gaze.

"I thought I told you to stay away," the hooded man snarled.

"Just stay behind me, Miyo," he said softly as he glanced over to the young woman. The man turned his attention over to shadow and glared at him intently. "Keep away from her. If you dare come near her, I'll rip you to shreds."

[Beebs]

The hooded figure placed its hands on its hips, and he let out a quick chortle. "Now, now, let's not be hasty," the voice continued waving his hand about in the air. Looking up at Vincent's glaring face, the shadow smirked. "You've got it all wrong, my friend. I'm trying to get you out of a little mess that's going to ensue, ya get me?"

Vincent grew increasingly suspicious as the figure pressed on with his speech. "What are you talking about?" he asked, the man's voice was low and almost sounded like a growl. "A mess? Danger? What is it you're talking about?"

Without a second thought, the hooded figure proceeded. "Well, if you must know, something big is coming on the horizon," he continued, the figure then began to circle Vincent and Miyo, and his tone was dark and menacing. "I can't exactly inform you of what it is at the moment. No, not now... You have to realize that by just coming along with me, you'll be dodging the bullet that's yet to be fired. I'm not asking for anything- nothing at all; it's simple. A child can grasp the concept. Don't you understand? All you have to do is comply to my terms, and you're going to be totally worry free."

Rage grew inside of the Turk as his keen eyes follow the black shadow's movement, and his ears took in the man's deceitful words. "Absolutely... not," Vincent replied, he nearly frightened Miyo with his chilling voice. His intense eye thinned while he placed Cerberus back into its leather case on his thigh. "I don't care about what happens to me. I only intend to keep my friends safe from any of your chaotic mess. Understand? Miyo, are you coming?"

"Yes," Miyo responded, following close behind him. The young woman darted her eyes to Vincent before lowering her gaze to the ground. She turned over her shoulder to check on Kohana who, unsurprisingly, was still dozing off.

The dark figure raised a hidden brow after his arms folded to his chest. "Fine, I see how it is, but remember, this won't be the only shifty encounter you'll have; not by a long shot." he whispered to himself, his voice was twisted and cold. "If you won't join me, then I'll have the pleasure of destroying you. Until we meet again, I guess this is farewell...."

"Fine by me," Vincent said, leading Miyo away from the hooded figure. As the two made their way over to the sleeping girl, the young woman looked over to where the hooded man was previously standing. To her surprise, he had completely vanished, leaving not a trace of his mysterious encounter.

Vincent Valentine was silent for a long moment and he then finally sighed. "I guess this is goodbye, then," he whispered, hanging his head. His eyes were fixed on the ground.

Miyo instantly turned to Vincent and looked at him strangely. "Goodbye?" she asked him, confused by his words. "What do you mean?"

[Beebs]

Vincent lowered his gaze to the ground and he let out a soft sigh. "You heard what that man said. This won't be the last encounter with the likes of him. Next time it could become violent..." he said with a serious tone. "If I stay with you, the others might try to hurt you and Kohana. And if they ever hurt you, I... I would never forgive myself."

Miyo walked over to Vincent and held his hand. "Don't do this, Vincent." she replied tearing up a bit, "I know you want to protect us but we're fine. Please don't go Vincent. How do you know if that guy knows what he's talking about!?!"

Vincent frowned and looked into the young woman's face. "It's alright, Miyo," he said to her softly. The man shifted his eyes and saw his hand in hers. He smiled and looked up once more. "You and Kohana are the only family I've ever had. You two are very important to me. I know I've only known you for a day, but I feel like I've known you for a lifetime. I want to keep you safe, Miyo."

Miyo blushed at Vincent lowering her head. "I feel the same way but just don't want to see you go." she replied softly, "I don't want you to die again. Kohana and I couldn't bear the pain if you were to die."

[Beebs]

Vincent was silent for a moment and repeated Miyo's words over and over again in his mind. She... cares about me? he asked himself. Someone actually cares about me? There was the strangest feeling in Vincent's heart at this moment.

He felt like he was willing to sacrifice his life for the young woman before him, and he felt like he could do anything with her beside him. He felt his pulse race as he laid his eyes upon her and the chemicals in his mind were going crazy. It was the feeling that he had for Doctor Crescent over thirty years ago; it was the feeling of love.

The Turk smiled and nodded. "Are you certain that you don't mind me around?" he asked Miyo aloud. "Are you willing to put up with a guy like me?"


Miyo was so delighted that she lovingly attacked Vincent with a hug, which was so unexpected that Vincent fell back with Miyo on top of him. She glazed into his eyes for a second then widened them, realizing that she was laying on him. Miyo's heart skipped a beat, as she quickly got up and turned red. "I'm so sorry!" she said a little flustered, "I didn't mean to, well I did but....are you ok?"


The Turk couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine," he said softly looking up at Miyo. Then, Vincent Valentine did the unthinkable, and he began to laugh, something that he had rarely ever done in his life. He sat up and brought his knee to his chest. "Better than fine."


Miyo buried her face with her hands from embarrssment as she sat down beside Vincent. She then lowered her hands, quickly glacing at Vincent then looked up at the oversized moon ((there has to be some light at night to see each other XDD)).


"Never in my life I thought I could fall for someone in a day." she thought, "It's strange but I really enjoy this feeling. Ever since I saw Vincent, I've always had this attraction to him. It was small but it grew and I'm really happy that it did. I hope I'm not embarrssing myself."

Miyo looked over to Kohana, saw her sound asleep, then looked over to Vincent. "That's good to hear." she replied smiling from ear to ear, "To answer your questions, no I don't mind and yes I'm willing and ready."

[Beebs]

The man nodded and gazed up at the shining light coming from the moon above. "I'm glad," he said with a smile. Vincent looked over to Miyo sitting beside, and again, he felt his heart race. He wanted to tell her so much, but his mouth could not reach for the right words. He sighed and simply settled for, "Thank you."


"You're welcome. Vincent...who was that man?" Miyo asked, "Did he say what kind of danger you were in?"


"I'm not so sure," Vincent replied. "But since he asked me about what world I was from, it could mean Kikyo and anyone else who arrived from the vortex could be in the same danger. If the danger is real, it could result in a fight for survival." The Turk touched Cerberus at his side and nodded. He would be ready if they attempted to harm him or his friends.

"Did he seem to know why you arrived here?" Miyo replied, "I mean, if danger is specific to those not from here, there has to be a reason you're here."

"I'm not sure. He didn't tell me the rest," the man said looking down. He took a deep breath and exhaled. "He didn't say why I was in danger, it was just an assumption. But I don't care about me, my goal is to keep you safe."

[Beebs]

Miyo smiled and remained silent for a moment. She took in his last few words and felt really happy that she was able to stay by his side. "To be honest, I've always thought you were handsome." Miyo said blushing, "That's one of the reasons, why I let you stay over."


Vincent smiled and lowered his head. "Funny you should say that," he said lifting his head after a moment. "The reason I came into your house was to see your face more clearly in the light. I know this sounds poetic, but I got lost in your eyes." The man fell silent and he looked away in embarrassment.


Miyo was holding back to contain all of her feelings that wanted to come out, like boiling milk in a pot. She sensed that Vincent didn't express his feelings as much and she touched his shoulder to confort him. "I'm glad that you love them because I love yours as well." Miyo replied yawning a little.


Vincent turned his head toward Miyo and revealed a broad smile. He was silent once again and simply stared into Miyo's face. "It's getting late," he said after a few moments. "I think I should be getting you girls home. It's been a long day for all of us."

[Beebs]

Miyo gave a small nod as they got up. Vincent carried Kohana back the house while Miyo followed beside him. The festival was coming to a close and everyone cleaned up and when to their homes for the night.
Vincent and Miyo finally got home without being noticed and saw that everything seemed to be in place. Vincent carried Kohana back to her room and walked back to the living room. After some small talk, Miyo and Vincent said their farewells before seeing each other in the morning.

~~~

"Wow, I've never been this deep in the forest." Miyo said aloud. She was in the Riyona forest on her own and all that was surrounding her were trees and plants. Suddenly Miyo saw a rare butterfly and gasped as she followed it. Without really paying attention she came across a waterfall that she never since before in her life and looked in awe as she rushed over to it and placed her hands in the water. "Ah! This feels nice!" she exclaimed, "I'm sure Kohana and Vincent would love this."

The water was crisp and the air was clean as she looked up at the perfect sky. She sensed a presence near by and went closer to the waterfall. She saw figures running in the distance and looked behind her to see shadows staring at her. Miyo looked at them nervously and backed away as they were coming toward her. She fell down to the ground scared for her life as they crowded around her and.....

~~~~

Miyo gasped loudly as she awoken from her sleep. She took in deep breaths as she felt her forehead and got up. "Who were they?" she whispered.

((if you don't know by now...the little story above was Miyo's dream))

[Beebs]

As Vincent sat in the living room, he looked toward the floor and saw as the sun's brilliant light flooding the room.

The man stood from his sitting position and stretched his arms wide. He cracked his knuckles and neck as he walked toward the front door and stepped outside to greet the day.
"Another beautiful day," the Turk whispered. Morning had come once more.


Miyo stumbled a bit, before she gathered herself together and stepped into the living room area. She noticed Vincent wasn't there and walked into each room checking to see if he stayed in the others. By the time she got to Kohana's room she saw that her younger sister was already up and getting dressed. "Good morning, Miyooo." Kohana said scretching out her sister's name, "Yesterday was the greatest day ever! I'm going to ask Vincent about last night. I can't believe I fell asleep!" Kohana then rushed to the living room area and yelled, "Vincent!"


Vincent's ears perked and he looked in the door to see Kohana calling his name. "Good morning, Kohana," he said in an upbeat tone. He came inside and presented the girl with a warm smile. "Sleep well last night?"


"Good morning to you!" she replied rushing up to him, "Yes, I slept good. Did anything happen while I was sleep? I can't believe I missed the fireworks!"

Meanwhile, Miyo went back to her room a little dazed from the dream she had. She pushed her thoughts aside and got dressed. "I know those two have to be hungry." Miyo said to herself, "I know I am!"

[Beebs]

Vincent shifted his eyes about and scratched his head. "Well, something happened alright," he said with a cough. "It's alright, Kohana. Nothing happened that you would have liked." He smiled and hid his embarrassment.


"Aww...oh well." Kohana replied, "Next time I'm staying up the whole night!"

Just then, Miyo came out of her room and said, "Good morning everyone! I know you all are hungry! I'll shall make breakfast and we can all eat. Where's Kikyo? She didn't come back?"


"No, I haven't seen her," Vincent said lowering his head. "I wonder where Kikyo is." Suddenly, a loud growling sound filled the room and Vincent looked down at his stomach. "I'm sorry. My stomach has never grumbled like this before."

Miyo and Kohana looked at each other and laughed. "You take a seat and I'll make breakfast." Miyo said, "Or better yet you can check out the garden in the back."
"Yeah! I'll come with you, Vincent." Kohana said.

Vincent nodded and smiled. "Alright, Kohana," he said with a bit of joy. "Will you take me to the garden?"

[Beebs]

"Alright! Come with me." Kohana said with a bright smile pulling Vincent toward the garden. "I'll call when breakfast is ready." Miyo said watching them leave.


While Miyo prepared breakfast, Kohana held Vincent's hand and walked up a little trail until they saw a rather large garden with different flowers, vegetables, and fruits. From a distance they saw 2 small shrines. "It's lovely here isn't it Vincent!" Kohana said, "We have this garden here so we can sell most of this at the market. Miyo told me how to plant and sow. She says that our parents put love into this ground. What do you think?"


Vincent smiled and nodded. He knelt down and touched the ground and was silent for a moment. He looked over to Kohana. "You know something?" the man asked the little girl. "I can feel the love in this garden. And I can feel all of the hard work and time you and Miyo put into it, too."
The Turk stood up and saw the garden in full view. "Yeah, it shows too," he continued as he looked at the lush plants. "Nice job."

[Beebs]

Kohana was beaming at that point. She pulled his hand and showed Vincent all the different crops that they had and the flowers that they planted not to long ago. All food was to the right and the flower garden was toward the left.
"I love the flower garden the best!" Kohana exclaimed, "It's closer to this."

Kohana pointed far left and Vincent looked over to see a small path that lead up to gazebo, where potted flowers seemed to be stored. It seemed to be rather old but still in good condition with a few vines hugging it. ((The gazebo looked like this below.))



The gazebo looked over a small pond with exotic flowers and tiny fish where you can see the forest behind it. A breathtaking place that seem to have a relaxing aura around it.


Vincent felt himself out of breath as he laid his eyes upon the fantastic sight. It brought back memories of long ago of when he often visited the countryside and got away from city life. "It's incredible," he said with wide eyes. "I haven't seen anything like this in many years."


Kohana bent down and smell the sweet fragrances of each flower that was near her. "Did you have a place like this on your world?" Kohana asked.


The man was silent for a moment and then sighed. "There used to be," he said with a blank expression. "But three years ago, someone destroyed everything that was once good. Now, there's almost nothing left in nature. All the flowers, the trees... everything's faded away."

[Beebs]

"Well we have lots of seeds, so you can take as many as you want." Kohana replied.

Meanwhile, Miyo was making breakfast for everyone. She had cooked some meat, fruit from the garden, pancakes, and freshly squeeze orange juice. ((Mmmm)) She went to the back and saw Vincent and Kohana in the distance, half way to the gazebo, talking to each. "Breakfast!" Miyo shouted, waving at them, "Come inside and have some!"

Vincent looked over to Miyo and nodded. He glanced over to the girl standing beside him. "I don't know about you, Kohana, but I'm starved," the man said with a small smile and he began to walk toward the house. "Are you coming?"

"Of course!" Kohana yelled with excitement.
Miyo smiled at the Kodak moment ((XD)) and when inside to make sure that everything was placed. The table had lots of food, with a bonquet of flowers in a vase in the middle, and she moved at lightning speed to make sure that she didn't keep them waiting so long. She rushed back out and almost bumped into Kohana who was in front of Vincent. Before he could get through the door, Miyo covered his eyes. "Wait." she said to him, "This is your very first breakfast here and I want you to remember what it looks like."


Vincent gave out a laugh as Miyo's hands were placed over his eyes. "Miyo, you didn't have to do this for me," he said with a smile. "I'm not worth all that trouble. Really!"


"Hey Kohana wait!" Miyo said looking at her younger sister. Kohana was about to start eating and Miyo gave her a stern look then turned to Vincent saying, "You're well worth it. You seemed to enjoy the food at the festival, I'm sure that you haven't had any real food lately besides yesterday."

[Beebs]

"I guess so," Vincent replied. "Well, I haven't had a breakfast in a while, either. This'll be a real treat, no matter ."


As Miyo lifted her hands from his face, the man looked upon the meal with great surprise. He stared at the meal in silence and then turned to the young woman beside him after several moments. "Miyo," he said a little stunned. "It's beyond a perfect meal. You did this all... for me?"


Miyo blushed as she gave a small bow, "Yep! It's my pleasure." she said simply, "Take a seat. I'll pour you some juice."

"Miyo usually cooks like this when she either likes someone a lot or it's something special going on." Kohana said to Vincent, taking some toast. Miyo eyes grew big and quickly replied, sticking her tongue out, "Ok! But I see that you enjoy the food that I cooked."


The man nodded and walked over to one of the chairs. "It looks great," he said happily. "I can't wait to have some."

As Vincent sat in his seat, he smiled at Kohana's remark. "It could be," he continued in a soft tone. "Maybe she does like me a little. Or perhaps she wants to show hospitality. Or it could be both." He lowered his head to hide his face.


Miyo blushed again, placing her hand on top of his before taking a sit. "Well this is a special event." Miyo replied. She leaned over to Vincent and whispered, "I do like you. It's way more than a little." Suddenly she did the unexpected and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Hey! I saw that!" Kohana said pointing her fork at her older sister, "Vincent what did she say to you?"

[Beebs]

Vincent widened his eyes as he looked up at Miyo. He felt his face turn red and he looked down in embarrassment and mutual feelings for her. After a moment, he looked up at Kohana and waved his hand. "It's alright, Kohana," he said with a blank expression. He looked up at Miyo and smiled. "Your sister was just telling that if you don't finish your breakfast, we won't do anything fun today. So get eating, alright?"


Kohana thinned her eyes at Miyo as to say 'I'm watching you' then contiuned to eat. Miyo smiled a little and started eating as well. After a few moments she stared at her food and softly said to Vincent, "Sorry if I came on a little to strong, but it's true."


After Vincent swallowed a mouthful of food, he nodded and whispered softly in her ear, "That's alright. I feel the same. You were just telling me something I already felt and knew." He smiled and placed his hand and the table.
"This food is great, Miyo," he said aloud truthfully and to cover up Kohana's suspicions. "It's wonderful."


Miyo grinned and played along, "Why, thank you! That's so kind of you!"

Kohana didn't pay attention seeing that had stuffed some pancakes in her mouth and almost started talking with food in ther mouth. Miyo stopped her sister and said, "You know we didn't get to go Riyonia's shrine. How about we go there today?"

"Yeah! Those people messed up our plans yesterday!" Kohana said quickly after swallowing her food. She looking at Vincent saying, "It's really old. Not many people go there anymore. These boys that live not to far from us says that it's haunted."


"I remember it clearly." Miyo replied smiling. She then turned to Kohana, "Vincent is going to stay with us. Whatever happens he'll protect you and me. We're going to take care of him and do our best too."

Kohana stopped listening after Miyo she stated that Vincent was staying there with them. She suddenly left her seat and went to hug Vincent, cheerfully saying, "Are you really staying? What about you're world?"
