Dark visions

Saren and Nikki sat in Saren's room of her beloved castle. They sat in complete silence until Nikki said, “Saren why do you look so bummed? We just stool form the greatest thieve in demon world, and… you know you liked youko feeling up on you like that!”

 

“What ever Nikki,” said Saren as she turned from facing Nikki. Saren was blushing. She knew she liked Youko, but she would never admit aloud, (She barely admitted it silently.) Saren didn't understand why she liked youko, he is pushy, cocky, and rude, why would any girl like him? “I don't like Youko, okay?”

 

“Sure, sure, what ever you say boss!” said Nikki walking to the door. “I can tell when you like someone, and you like Youko!”

 

Saren Turned to face Nikki. “Wait,” said Saren Before the door of her chamber fully closed. Saren looked down, thinking that Nikki hadn't heard her. She turned back to face her bookshelf. She walked over to it and grabbed a stack of old dusty paper from the top shelf. She then grabbed a feather quill from the dresser across the room.

 

Saren started to write on her stack of papers: `I'm so confused…' was all Saren got to write before Nikki popped up on the side of Saren and asked, “What'd you doing?” Saren jumped about 3 feet in the air and landed on the floor, not suspecting Nikki to suddenly pop out like that.

 

“What the hell is your problem, Nikki,” Scream Saren as she Got off the ground.

 

“Stop trying to change the subject. What were you writing,” said Nikki looking at Saren with her hands on her hips.

 

Saren sweat dropped and she rubs her head, “I wasn't writing anything. GOD, you're sooooooo nosey,” then she throw herself on her bed.

 

“Yeah, yeah what ever you say. But I still think you like him,” said Nikki as she started for the door. As Nikki began out the door, she began to sing, “Saren and Youko, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…,”

 

Saren walked to the door and looked out to make sure that Nikki wasn't going to pop up at anytime soon. She saw Nikki, still singing, walk around the corner of the long hallway.

 

Saren closed the door and leaned against the wall. “That was close.” As Saren gently closed the door, she thought to herself, `maybe she's right, I need to stop lying to myself.'

 

Saren looked out her window, just to make sure that no one was out at the pond. The pond was the only reason Saren built her castle at this location, because of the pond. No one was at the pond so she decided to go out for a walk, and maybe go for a swim.

 

Saren once again pecked out the door and looked down the hallway to make sure no one was there. She saw two of her women, Cherry and Tina, walking down the hall. Cherry was tall and very muscular, (We call her Cherry because she had a bright red and orange tail and bright red and orange hair. She also had orange eyes); [no one really knows what Cherry's real name is]. Tina was short and thick around the middle, (she had a Cole black Tail with Cole black hair. She was very pretty for being “thick,”). Tina was the thug of the clan, No one messed with her. Saren quickly closed the door, not wanting anyone to see her. She pressed her ear to the door and listened so she would know if the girls had gone yet. As soon as she heard a distant door close, Saren stepped outside of her room. She quickly ran down the hallway and looked down the other hallway leading right. No one was there so she ran down that hallway until she came to doors that lead outside.

 

Saren quietly walked outside. She then walked up to her beautiful pond. She sat on her favorite boulder that stood half in the water. She dipped her toes in and out of the icy liquid. Saren pondered the idea of taking a swim for a few minutes, and decided to get in. She hadn't gone swimming in awhile.

 

Saren quietly looked around, to make sure no one was watching her. No one was so she quickly undressed and placed her body into the water. “This is the life,” said Saren as leaned back in the water. The water was now at her chin, with a sigh Saren emerged her head in the water. Saren opened her eyes, she could just make out the shape of a fish swimming in the distance of the milky water. Saren swam to the small waterfall at the far end of the pond; Saren again looked around just to make sure that no one was there, she then swam under the waterfall to a small hidden cave. This cave was her sanctuary.

 

The cave was filled with giant boulders that held candles from the size of a persons head to the size of a person's finger. Saren walked to the first boulder in the cave and lit the candles on it with one snap of her finger, (one of the many gift sirens posses.) After Saren had lit all of the candles in her cave, she sat down in her circle of black rose petals. This circle was her ideal place for meditation. With a deep sigh, Saren pulled a black rose out of her hair, “Maybe this time I'll get a vision.”

 

Saren closed her eyes and began to hum twilling the rose in her hands, as her mind began to clear her body lifted from the ground.

 

Within seconds images began to fly pass her eyes; they were of Youko, and kuronue. There was blood, lots of blood. They were running… no they were being chased, at the valley that they had meet earlier that night, `Youko, run! They're catching up to you.” Saren tried to pull herself from the trance. She was afraid. Every time she tried to get visions they were short and blurred. When she got the other visions if she wanted to pull herself from the images she could, but not this one. Saren tried harder to pull herself back to consciousness, with no luck. She wanted to help Youko and Kuronue, but she could not. The images refused to stop.

 

Saren shivered from the images and tears ran down her face, `So much blood,' she cried to herself, As the images began to fade and swirl into one large blur, Saren saw Youko's limp body hit the floor; surrounded by blood.

 

Saren fell to the floor with an unconscious thud, tears still streaming from her eyes.

 

Saren opened her eyes. She could hear people calling her name, but she did not know who they were, she did not remember where she was. Saren's head throbbed, and she smelt blood. She lifted herself from the ground. Everything was dark. She could not see anything. Saren put a hand on the floor so she could get up. There was warm liquid on the floor. Saren lifted her hand to her nose. The warm liquid was blood, her blood. Saren instantly felt her head. She could fell the exposed flesh on the left side of her forehead.

 

”God, No wonder my head hurts,” said Saren as she stood up, everything that happened in the past 24 hours came rushing back to her all at once. Youko, the blood and… his body, just lying there, dead.

 

Saren began to cry again. She fell to her knees, “why, why…,” her sobbing dragged on as the voices of her fellow thieves continued to call her name.

 

Saren felt as if some part of her had died. How could he have died? She had just seen him less than an hour ago.

 

Saren stopped crying, “I have to find him. If he is dead, I have to find his body and bury it. No one else will,” Saren got back up with a blank look on her face. Evidence of her tears still on her cheeks.

 

Saren ran out of the waterfall calling Nikki's name. Saren swam to where her cloths were and got dressed as fast as she could and once again she called Nikki's name, but louder. She came running towards Saren at top sped and she showed no sign of slowing. She stopped on a dime right in front of Saren.

 

“Saren, Something happened--,”

 

“I know,” Was all Saren would say.

 

“You know? How do you know that Youko's--,”

 

“Don't say it. We have to find them,” Saren looked at Nikki and started to run back to the valley that Saren had last seen Youko.

 

Saren ran faster then she ever had before, Nikki Ran after her.

 

“The other girls are there waiting for us, and I left Ashley and Yaton at the castle to watch over it. Where were you? We were calling you,” Said Nikki as she caught up to Saren.

 

“Why does it matter? I'm here now,” said Saren as they turned into the valley.
