A Fate Set In Stone

A single tear drop falls from her cheek. Then another and another until a steady flow of sorrow are running from her eyes. She lies in field of wheat, and watches the strands dancing in the in the steady winds. Wiping away her tears she says " this wont control my life, it can’t! I wont let it.” as she's slamming her fists to the ground. She rises to her feet and runs to town.

Hazuki Reoku lives in a remote village called Kedoku. Though it is small it is know for its extravagant Beauty and exceptional architecture. You can’t go anywhere without being in amazed in some way. There are luscious trees on every street you turn on, and there are roses in every flower pot you cross. Each building was built with the inspiration of the previous inhabitancy. So in every aspect it was unique. This town was of great significant to the people of Kedoku not just because of the scenery, but of its people.

In select members of a family, a "gift" was pasted down through generations of the young. The gift that was not given to you by choice, but by the genes of the parents. There was no telling what child would get it or what the gift was. There are rules on how and when to use it. For instance you must not use it in public place, except if you are acting in the safety of others.

To some "the gift" brought great fortune, but to Hazuki it brought nothing but sadness and misery. For each time she used her gift she became angry and untameable, which in the end drove everyone away. Far enough away that the people could not even look at her with out remembering the horrible images that were associated with the name Hazuki Reoku.

As she was running through the streets, she had collided into someone and fell to the ground. He gazed at her with friendly eyes. He felt as though they had met before. He extends his hands out to her and said "Hello my name is Tazuna Aru-chi, are you ok?"

She looked at him and shook her tears. He had pure white hair with black bangs. His eyes were as blue as the sky on a clear sunny day, and he wore a cooked smile as though to say sorry I was standing there, but i'm glad you bumped into me. He was wearing a black suit with a black tie and a white dress shirt and black dress pants.

She smiled and said “yes I am fine, my name is Hazuki Reoku." He wipes the remainder of her tears off of her rosy cheeks and said. “Why were you crying?"

She replied "because there is no one in this village who will speak to me" He smiles and says "well that’s a shame, you have such a beautiful face, and I don't see how someone as lovely as you has no one to talk to..."

She smiles slightly and says "well what is a sweet guy like yourself doing all alone in this little town. He happily replies "im not from here, i’m from Kyokyu a village not far from here. I had gone for a walk and had forgotten my way back to the village. But for now I think I am going to have a look around at all of the amazing architecture you have around here. And maybe if i’m lucky you will accompany my in my wondering?"

With great enthusiasm she says "yes I will."

Tazuna Aru-chi is from a village called Kyokyu. Not much is know of this place except that it is hidden in the shadows of the mountain and the people that come from this village are extremely powerful, and have made alliances with near‚ by villages. See unlike the people of Kedoku, "the gift" can be passed down from generation to generation and to every single child that is born there. There power is almost limitless, but the amount of energy that they use in there attacks are tremendous and could make tired even the most powerful worrier. They train for years to perfect there efficiency and accuracy in battle.

With his hair flowing gently in the wind, he glances that the sun and says" it’s about noon now and I've been traveling for three days now. I haven't seen many other villages on my journey and i’m kind of getting hungry. Would you like to join me for lunch Hazuki? She turns her head to try to keep him from seeing her blush. He places his hand gently on her shoulder and smiles. Hazuki turns and looks at him with passionate eyes. Tazuna asks her again "Hazuki will you be as kind as to join me for lunch?”

She pauses for a second, looks at the blazing sun and quickly looks back at Tazuna. She answers "yes I'd be delighted, if you’re willing to pay of course" and laughs.

He looks at her with a forced smile, rolls his eyes and says "of course, I wouldn't dream of letting you pay for yourself"

She pouts and says “I was just kidding, do you have a few screws loose up there in your empty head or what" He laughs historically and says "sarcasm is a foreign language to you isn't it?"

"Where is the nearest place to eat" he asks.

"Just around the corner, Wow for a hungry guy you sure couldn't find you way through town to find anything cant you?" she chuckles

They walk into the restaurant and find a place in the corner to sit. The restaurant has been a bit I run down place form the out side, but on the inside it looked like nothing Tazuna had ever seen before. It had a wishing well in the middle of the floor, a crystal floor and white upscale walls. A chandelier hung from the ceiling the sun rays for the outside seem to dance calmly on the walls like a small fire waving in the wind. The table was made of oak and was shaped like a door. It had red silk table cloth and white roses in a glass vase. The waitress gave us silver cutlery and china plates.

As soon as they had been seated Tazuna took out his wallet and opened it and looked at the restaurant. He sighed and said " Hazuki, are you out of you mind?" She replied "no why?" He said "because this looks like a really fancy place and I don't think I have that much money.

She forced the menu into his hands and said "look at the menu before you decide to leave."

He grumbled as he opened the thin menu. He looked at Hazuki with very surprised look. He said "for the way this restaurant looks, I never expected the food to be so cheap. Never in a million years."

She laughed and said “you wanted to see amazing architecture right? You almost suit your pants when you seen the restaurant didn't you?"

He orders a bottle of Sake to share with Hazuki. She smiles and says "you so gentlemanly" He laughs and says "Well I know what girls want most of the time." "Not to mention I bet you’re thirsty." The waitress comes back with his sake and takes there order.

Tazuna orders meso soup and some tempera shrimp sushi.

Hazuki politely smile and orders the same.

They finish there meal and walk out into the streets again. He notices that his wallet is much lighter. He looks at Hazuki and realizes why it did and wraps his arms around her waist. She feels his hands and quickly blushes. And turns her head, he kisses her cheeks and she smiles harder. She turns and kisses his cheeks, takes off of his hands and runs. While running she turns her head and sticks out her tong. He smiles and lets her runs a little farther, and then he disappears and reappears in front of Hazuki.

She is surprised and stops dead in her tracks. She stares at him and asks him "how did you do that?"

He smiled said "teleportation, its easy. I could teach you some other time if you'd like?" She politely nodded and said “yes I would like that very much."

They both walked hand in hand to central park. Tazuna sat down on the park bench and soon followed Hazuki. She turns to him and quickly turned to the sunset. She explains that the sunset looked like the flames of a fire dancing in the cool summer breeze. But Tazuna was hardily heard a word of what she said. Hazuki turned her head to Tazuna.

She said "why are you staring at me rather then this wonderful sunset."

She said “Hazuki I have seen many wonderful sunsets in my time...but I have never seen anything as beautiful as you."

A single tear formed in her eye. In hearing this Hazuki turned her head quick trying not to let him see her blush once more, the tear flew off her cheek and landed on Tarzana’s hand. He smiled and finally turned towards the sunset and said "wow you were right, this is a wonderful sunset." Still blushing she turned towards him and said "see I told you. Its pretty isn’t it." Little did Hazuki know he said that just to see her blushing face again? He politely smiled and placed his arm gently on her shoulder.

Tazuna turns to Hazuki and says “Hazuki, would it be alright if I kissed you." In astonishment turned to Tazuna and looked to the floor smiling. Tazuna lifted her chin and said "please." Again she said nothing. So he drew her close to him still holding chin, and slowly placed his lips upon hers. Her eyes widened. Giving in she placed her arms around his waist.

After about 5 minuets, they had stopped. Hazuki rubbed her lips and smiled. As did Tazuna.

Tazuna ask Hazuki if he could walk her home. She politely said yes and stared towards the street, and soon followed Tazuna. As they were walking Tazuna noticed that the winds grew heavier like a fierce storm was going to occur. They continued to walk towards Hazuki's house. When she flew back towards and looked over his shoulder. She saw that there was a blue glow in the horizon, it Shawn like the reflection of the water off of a wall on a summer sunny day. Tazuna quickly turned to the horizon ten turned to Hazuki. At he same time they both said "I have to go" they both politely said there good byes and run in different directions towards the horizon.

First arrived Tazuna, he was wearing a black cape with a cracked shoulder blade. And with his Great Sword drawn by his side, his wings were spread out in such a way that the moonlight made them shine like snow on a sunny winter’s day.

Then they arrived Hazuki with her fists clenched by her side. "Come out of hiding you bloody beast." she yelled

Tazuna heard Hazuki's voice and turn towards the direction of the voice in excitement. She looked at him with a huge smile and then stared at the beast. She smiled harder. She looked towards the heavens and mumbled a few word. She dropped her head looking at the ground, and then looked at the beast. She raised her arms and the wind quickly grew fierce and strong. She turned to Tazuna once more, this time it was different. Her eyes were as white as snow, her muscles budging and seemed as blood thirsty as ever before.

Before them stood a 32 foot tall blue crystal dragon. The beast stared at Tazuna with its red glowing eyes that shimmered in the moon light, and blew steam from its gruesome jaws as if to say that this would be easy, and that there fate was set in stone. Its wings where as blue as Tazuna's eyes. Smooth and solid were its feet, like flat pieces of concrete with sharp knives in the front.

Underneath all of this anger, Hazuki impatiently looked a Tazuna. He raised his great sword the sky’s above and screamed words of war. Thunder struck him and left him with an electric glow. Trembling with excitement he points his sword towards the beast and charges.

Then there worlds grow dark.
