VAn unexpected adventure
Hikari's pov

Just a normal day. Well as normal as one can get when your father beats you. It's always the same I wake up, go to school, come home, get beat then go to bed and repeat. Some times I get lucky and my father goes out to get more drunk than he already is. So that when I would be able to watch all the anime that I want. The most recent anime that I've been watching is 'KIBA'. The main character Zed is a lot like me minus the beating. He has to go through all these challenges to make himself stronger, like what I have to do each day.
I was in bed after getting another beating. I looked at my clock which had 11:11. You may think I'm corny for doing this but what do I care. I folded my and and made my wish.
"Please someone, anyone I wish to be free" I whispered drifting into sleep, but before I fell asleep I heard a kind voice say.

"Your wish shall be granted"

Then nothing.

Zed's pov

It had been a few days since I came to Templar and discovered that I'm a shard caster. I had just finished my training with Dumas when a light caught my eye. It was coming from the direction of the lake that the Old Nan fishes at. Curiosity got the better of me as I ran to were the light came from. When I arrived at the lake there was not light, only a girl who was lying on the ground. I ran over to her to get a better look at her. She had long auburn hair that was close to the small of her back and pail skin that was covered with cuts and bruises and she was wearing short and a tang top. The most surprising thing was that instead to human ears she had dog ears and tail(both the same color as her hair) and has a shard mark on her left hand( it looks like naruto's kyuubi seal only on the hand)As I picked her up, her eyes opened. They were the most stunning amethyst color that seemed to glow in the moon light. She was about to say something but passed out.

I then started running into town with the girl in my arms. Now I'm no doctor but I can tell when someone needs help and the condition she is in, she needs it and fast. I finally reached the castle and ran to the council's meeting room hoping to find the Old Man. I reached to room and ran in not bothering to ask permission

"Old Man I need help" I yelled

"Zed we are in the middle of a meeting what could pos-" the Old Man stop when he saw the girl in my arms

"Where do you find her" he asked

"By the lake, but right now she needs help" I said in a worried voice.

"Right, this meeting is dismissed" he commanded and ushered me out before the could protest.

TIME SKIP

We arrived at the infirmary about an hour ago and the girl hasn't show any signs of waking. Roya then entered with Mikki close behind.

"Zed you really should get some rest, she'll wake up when she's ready" Roya said in concern.

"I can't, something is telling me not to leave her, it's strange" I said making them look at me with worry.

"Fine but we are staying with you" she said proudly making me smile. I looked back over to the girl and her calm face turned to pain, like she was having a nightmare

"Does anyone else think she is scared of something or is it just me" Mikki asked. We nodded

Hikari's pov dream/nightmare

I surrounded by darkness. I couldn't remember what happened I just remember waking up for a second and see what looked like to be Zed but before I could ask I blacked out. Now I only see darkness and I was getting tired of it.

"hello is anyone there" I yelled. Someone must of heard because a light started to shine.

"It seems that you have made it safely" a voice said. the light dies down to revel a woman maybe in her 30s with long red hair and wearing a red and white kimono.

"Who are you" I asked

"I am Kami" she replied

" where am I" I asked

"Your in Templar" she said

"What, why" I asked in shock

"Your wish, you asked to be free and now you are" she said smiling, "But this is not why I'm here" she continued

"Then why are you" I asked tilting my head

"I can here to give you your Spirits" She said pulling out three spirit shards ( I don't know what the are called). The first one was pink with blue designs on it, the second one wad similar but it was white and purple and the last one was pitch black with toxic green designs. They float up and out of her hands and into the shard mark on my hand.

"Now t is time to wake up, but you must not tell anyone about where you are from and what will happens in the near or distance future" she said disappearing into a light.

END DREAM

My eyes snapped open as I sat up. Instantly regretting it. Then I felt strong but gentle hands push me back down onto the bed.

"Take it easy you'll only hurt yourself more" a calm voice said. I look over to my left to see Zed, Roya, Mikki, and Master Zico.

"Tell young miss what is your name" Zico asked.

"H-hikari" I stuttered.

"My name is Zico, these three are Zed, Roya and Mikki. Alright Hikari do you remember how you got here" he continued.

"No the last thing I remember was falling asleep at home and then I wake up hear" I said making them looked worried.

"What world are you from, you're look like you come from young Zed's world" he asked.

I remembered what Kami said 'you must not tell anyone about where you come from'.

"I can't remember, the only thing I know is that I was home and now I'm here" I said. Just as Master Zico was about to say something the doors were thrown open and several guards come in. Making everyone in the room stand, except me.

"this girl is under arrest for shard travel with out the councils permission" one guard said walking over to my bed and grabbing my arm.

"Let me go" I yelled

"You won't be taking her anywhere she need to rest" Zico said glaring at them.

"Sorry Zico but I take my orders from the head of the council" he said leading me away. With a very angry group of people behind.

TIME SKIP

I'm now sitting in my cell with my hands tied behind my back.

flash back

I was in the meeting room with all the old people around me.

"We want to know where you are from and what you are and you will tell us" one said.

"I told you already, I don't remember were I'm from and as what I am, I was human but something change in me to give me this" said pointing to my ears and tail.

"Do we have to start this over again" another one said standing up and walking over to me. I growl.

"You dare growl at me you stupid mutt" he yelled raising his hand to slap me. My instincts take over as I bring up my clawed hand and slicing his making him yelp in pain.

"Restrain her" the head yelled. Instantly guards were at my side grabbing my arms and putting hand cuff on me.

"Take this animal to her cell" the head commanded.

End flash back

I sighed.

"Why is my life such a mess" I thought out loud.

"I know how you feel" a voice said. I yelped in surprise. I then look over to see Zed standing at the door.

"How are you feeling and why are you in hand cuffs" he asked.

"I'm feeling pretty good and as for the hand cuff I might of slashed one of the councilmen's hand, but he was trying to slap me and was working on instant" I said trying to scratch my ears and failing miserably at it. I heard a chuckle and the door open. Zed walks over and sits down. Then he lifts his hand to my eats and starts to scratch it. I instantly started to lean toward him letting him scratch my ear more.

"That feels good " I mumbled which earned a chuckle. Then he stopped and stood up.

"I should go before someone come to check in you, I'll come back when I came, okay" he said.

"Okay and Zed" I paused waiting for him to answer.

"Ah" he said looking back at me.

"Thank you for everything" I smiled.

"Your welcome" he said smiling back as he left.
