    "I'll be alright," she coughed. "Everything's going to be alright--"

    "Don't say that," I begged, holding her hand tightly. She didn't seem sick. In fact, my mother looked completely healthy with her firm grip and wide smile... but the way she looked at me with weak eyes, and how her words cut through me...

    "Why?" she mused, but I could tell that she really was, in fact, confused.

    "Because, if you say that... then you'll get sicker, or you'll di--" my words jumbled together in my throat, unable to push out as I watched her arch her back and open her mouth.

    It was a silent scream, so all I saw was her thrashing around while the moniter went crazy. The nurses and doctors outside finally ran in due to the beeping. They started to pull me away, but I desperately held onto her hand.

    No, I thought childishly. If I let go of her hand, then she'll--

    BEEP--

    There it went. The ominous, drawn out pitch from the moniter, sounding off that her heart had stopped. I looked at my empty hands while the hospital staff assigned to my mother ran around her, trying to revive her.

    But I knew it was too late.

    "Forgive me," I cried, holding his hand. "I didn't listen to you and--"

    "It's alright," he gave me a weak smile, touching my face.

    "No," my eyes widened at how it was like dejavu all over again. "Don't say that, Shuuichi. If you say that, then--"

    "I won't die," he groaned. "I promised to Hana-San and to my friends that I wouldn't..."

    "But... it's my fault," I whimpered. "It's always my fault that everyone gets hurt."

    His green eyes softened. "Ka--"

    "Your father," I said, making him wince. "My mother, your friends, and even you..."

    "Kanna!" he yelled as the monster started making its way towards us again, suantering closer and closer. Staring into its red eyes, I felt as if I was staring straight at death.

    I found myself in complete darkness as I tried to walk around. Several times I tripped or bumped into obstacles. They seemed to be trees or rocks, but I kept going even though I had recieved several cuts on myself.

    Soon, I collapsed onto flat, level ground, unable to feel my legs. They were like dead weights.

    Shuuichi... I thought. He was the last person I saw before I was pulled through. His gentle green eyes became sharp and menacing, glaring at what had a hold of me. He knows something.

    "There seems to be someone here," a child's voice echoed around me.

    "Perhaps it is the girl," another voice, deeper, spoke. I knew for certain that it was of a man's.

    "The one that Youko told us of?" the child spoke again.

    A light spilled around me and my eyes widened at the sight. There were monsters and people all around me. Vines grew around them, but I could make it out that they were of stone. They were all in different positions; sleeping, sitting, running, fighting, crawling--and I was starting to be one of them.

    I paled, looking to my legs; slowly, they were turning into stone. My shirt had slightly lifted up and I realized that my waist was grey and hard.

    "I'm quite amazed that you are still mobile," a man appeared in front of me, looking down at me with a calm smile that was similar to Shuuichi's. No, he wasn't looking--he could hear me. The man was pale and tall, with his eyes closed. Several ears and horns accompanied his look, but either way he still had a high, aristocratic feel about him. At his side stood a boy with black hair as well, his eyes were innocent but held great power and knowledge.

    "Are you Kanna?" the boy asked. I nodded in response.

    "I am Yomi," the man said. "Shuuichi's old friend."

    "Look!" I pointed at the butterflies that flew around the garden.

    "I've never seen that many butterflies together," Shuuichi commented. "I've seen groups of different kinds, but they're all the same."

    "It's so pretty," I laughed as a couple came over towards us.

    "Say, let's go back with the group, I'm sure 'Kaa-San and your father are starting to become suspicious."

    "Alright," I blushed at the thought of us being together. Realizing we were alone together, I wouldn't have minded if we stayed like this a bit more. It was just like elementary, how we would always be left alone together because I was the cry baby or the most curious, venturing away from the group. Then Shuuichi would always come after me and the teacher would get mad, worrying her like that.

    Running desperately away, the loss of blood from the wounds caused me to double over and fall, crying out in pain.

    "Over there!" people screamed, the lights getting closer.

    "What are you doing there?" a deep voice from above asked. Looking up I saw him; he was absolutely beautiful and terrifying, with his silver hair and gold eyes. He stood atop a roof with his arms crossed and his tail swaying behind him. "Can you not run? Where has your power gone?"

    "That is of no concern to you," I seethed, shaking as I got to my feet.

    "My, the greatest assassin of all three worlds is dying?" he laughed mockingly.

    "Oy, Youko, let's go," a young bat demon appeared at his side, shuffling his wings.

    "Just watch, Youko Kurama," I glared at him. "I will return to kill you, one way or another."

    "Good luck," he disappeared with his friend while the group of samurai surrounded me.

    "Killer! We have you!"

    My scream echoed as they struck down their blades    .

    yes, I know the last one is in italics but that's one purpose.

    and it's pretty confusing huh?
