Summary: Four elements must be united together in order to bring peace to their kingdoms. But only one of the blue is left and she has to protect her existence. All was left was for them to find love in each other.

Notes: I can't stop having weird ideas for stories! But this is so far the best one *raises fist determined* I tried to make it somewhat dangerous, but my mind that is full of butterflies and flowers could only give this.. Please, give it a chance!

Warnings: AU, fem(Yukimura, Fuji) some OOCness and couples~!

"Get her!"

"Sir, we lost her!"

"WHAT? GET GOING AFTER HER! SHE CAN'T GO FAR AWAY!"

"She disappeared!"

"I'm sure I saw her enter this route!"

"Then what are you doing? FOLLOW HER, YOU FOOLS!"

She could hear all the shouting from her hiding place behind the thick curtains of leaves as she gritted her teeth in anger, trying to even her breath. Running away wasn't the wisest thing to have done but she had no other choice with the injuries she had.

She raised her hand and brushed off the navy blue locks of her hair backwards away from her forehead, and thanked her deceased father to have trained her since she was little, seeing it only meant that her endurance is pretty much useful. 'Today makes it.. four days..' of running and fighting with little bits of rest, but she didn't mind, because her sole goal was to carry the dangerous news with her and warn the other people before it's too late.

The people after her were a huge group of bandits who knew the basics to control the elements and magic. It's true that they weren't strong, but their number was enough to cover for that.

Her dark blue eyes shone with longing to her past, when she was –once- a little, happy girl with parents to love her and a house to contain her. She used to train under her father's sight and had completely mastered the control of the blue element by the age of 15. No one was able to beat her power in a fight, individual fights, that is.

The sad chapters of her life began at her age of 19, when the same thugs that are following her now had eliminated her clan wholly, which wasn't that big in number. At that time, they had a handful of powerful fighters and controllers of the three other elements, and those died by the hands of her clan hardly. It left a huge scar in her heart, while the following three years of her life were full of taking revenge blindly and running from a place to another in order to keep her pace. Unfortunately for her, the group, which was later named 'Guritashou', was increasing in number quickly and she couldn't handle every one of them; every time she killed a bunch, they would grow again. So when the leader found about this navy-haired girl's existence as the last of her kind and as a threat to him and his plans, he started haunting her down. She already knew much about his plans and moves and she was dangerous, naturally so, she ought to be erased from the memory of this world..

One of the things she considered is that, with her, being the last one to control the blue element, she had to somewhat survive. She also carried the magic of the 'Yukimura' clan with her, and that must never die, whatever the reasons might be.

Ooooooo*ooooooO

Running right then turning left, casting a spell and killing people after her. She kept the all-against-one fight despite having a bleeding shoulder and a semi-burnt leg. But when she jumped on a high branch, she failed to notice the wind slash coming from behind her while she was busy with the ruckus in front of her.

With a pained yelp, she fell to the ground. Seconds passed as she turned over and felt the pain through her spine, but then, she was pinned down by someone blocking her body from moving as he sat above her with a hand on her chest and the other directed in a ready-to-strike position to her neck.

When an evil laughter echoed in her head she looked up to the leader who stood close to her. She felt disgusted as he bent and took a strand of her hair caressing it, "Well, well, well.." he started with that arrogant tone, "About time you fall down, flower."

"What.. do you want from me? L-let me go!" she fought the pain across her body to snap at him.

"I want you dead." He smirked at her, "is it enough of a reason to keep your company?"

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly readying the fluids of the earth beneath her to attack when she caught the man on top of her mumble a spell and circle her pale neck.

Suddenly, pain shot through her throat as she fought the scream that came out as a quiet, pained whimper.

The leader's eyes shone wickedly, "Good bye, Yukimura Seiichi."

With a press of something across her neck, she screamed her pain out.

*******o*******

…

"Mou, Sanada-kun, there's no need to be angry like that." A honey brown-haired young woman pouted cutely, but her reply was a groan.

"I told you I don't need your help in this! Just.. stop it!" a black-haired male hissed as he walked faster.

"But~" she whined and fell into step beside him.

"Fuji-san, no." he stated firmly.

Soon, a close-eyed male was by their side and said, "She left with a broken heart, Genichirou," he paused to look at his friend through his closed eyes, "when will you stop rejecting them? You'll grow old and single in no time."

"Why are you suddenly so insistent about my status?! Stop pulling me to girls I. Don't. Even. Know! At least, I don't want to be bound to a girl who only saw my face and admired it." Sanada made sure that the last sentence was clear to the two persons by his sides.

The female named Fuji hurried her steps to stand in front of him blocking his way and placed her hands on her hips sending a glare from her cerulean eyes, "Do you want me to tell Kunimitsu that you are angering me?" she knew that threat always worked since Fuji for 'Kunimitsu' was someone no one must anger.

"Then I'll just tell him that his beloved, Tezuka-chan, is becoming tired from him that she wants a new companion." He retorted back and emphasized the 'beloved' and 'Tezuka-chan' parts making her blush clearly.

"N-no! I'm never t-tired of him! I-I'm just concerned for you.." she looked away with that red tinge to her cheeks, and was Sanada a man to grin, he would have done it, but he wasn't.

Their problem was, Sanada was being.. Sanada; strict, firm, no fun, no smiles. And the rest wanted to change that fact so that their friend would open up a bit and enjoy life more through love, knowing that it worked with a certain bespectacled man when he met his brown-haired and cerulean-eyed, now, fiancée.

"Sanada, you are a great friend. That's why we want to do this for you." A new voice of a silver head came to the picture with a red head nodding beside him.

And then, a brilliant idea hit in his mind as he turned to them all crossing his arms over his chest, "Fine. Do you want that much to find a girl for me?" he paused to see his audience of four nodding, except that Fuji's eyes were open, round and looking suspiciously at him, while he smirked inwardly. "Then, you need to find a girl as I like, not like you want."

"Okay..?" The red-haired, Marui, urged him to continue.

"I.." the raven-haired man thought it over then continued, "I want… someone with blue hair," he paused to look for reactions, ".. and she must have the ability to control the blue element, other than that, I won't accept."

The four people looked at each other confused of those conditions as Niou said "Hey, all the people who can control the blue element are dead since three years ago, aren't they..?"

"And from my data, there are no girls with blue hair.." Yanagi trailed off, and suddenly everything clicked in one female Fuji's mind as her smile turned too sweet to be good.

"Sanada-kun.. your ideal girl is-" she looked back to find an empty space, "-non.. existing.."

Ooooooo*ooooooO

"Of course there's no one like that, tarundoru." Sanada muttered with a faint victorious smirk to himself as he sprinted faster away from where his friends were discussing that silly matter. And as he ran, he subconsciously headed to one place he knew by heart; the green, open area he and his best friend had claimed their 'own' since they were children. The area that had became later the training ground for his little brother-like follower, named Kirihara Akaya.

Once he reached close enough, he was able to feel the fast wind gushes, indicating that his friend is training. And as to not surprise his friend, he slowed down, made his presence known and stepped into the opening and locked gaze with the man standing there.

"Tezuka." He called, and the reply was a court nod and a straightening of position.

"Sanada. I thought you will not come today."

"I apologize, but there had been some problems with your Tezuka-chan." He repeated the same honorific he used with Fuji and noted with a smirk the faint blush that adorned the face of the other male standing before him, before the latter coughed it off.

"Uh.. was she trying to.. find a mate for you, again?" he asked when he regained his composure.

Sanada took a seat on a fallen branch near them as he let out a barely audible sigh and scratched his head, "She doesn't seem to want to give up on that..". Tezuka went and sat beside his friend, "But tell me, Sanada," he started and waited until he was sure he had the other's attention, ".. did you really not find anyone suitable from between all the girls you met?" he wasn't there to see the girls his fiancée had made him see, but he supposed it wasn't that bad.

"I want a girl that would at least have half of what Fuji-san has, Tezuka."

The chestnut-haired man raised his eyebrow in question so he elaborated.

"Fuji-san is kind-hearted, sweet and caring, besides being beautiful. She's one of the best fighters I've ever faced, being a genius in controlling the green element. Not to mention the great personality she possesses," he sighed, "Tezuka, you've found for yourself a treasure. Make sure you don't lose her." At that, the called man nodded with determination and something akin to love mirroring through his hazelnut orbs.

Unbeknownst to them, a certain honey-haired girl was standing behind some trees as her hands clutched a basket tighter and her cerulean eyes welled with appreciative tears, while her cheeks gained a pink tinge. Unconsciously, she fingered the ring on her right hand affectionately.

Tezuka glanced at Sanada and changed the subject, "And?", the latter blinked in confusion at his friend's single word and turned his head to him, "What did you say to her this time, after the ordeal, I mean?". Sanada felt yet another smirk pulling on his lips as he answered, "I said I wanted a blue-haired girl, a blue element controller."

The shorter male stood and turned not wanting his friend to notice his lips twitching upwards as he said "You're impossible.", while the black-haired fought a chuckle.

…

"Help me..."

…

Sanada froze. Did his ears deceive him? But that voice somehow sounded familiar and too real to be a fragment of imagination..

…

"..please.."

…

"Tezuka, did you hear that?" he asked seriously as he stood up.

"What?"

"That voice right now.. the same voice in my dream!" he then realized the familiarity in the voice that had called. Tezuka turned to him and looked in his eyes, at the same time focusing his ears on hearing any faint voice.

".. the only.. one.."

"There!" without waiting for a response, Sanada immediately headed to the direction he recognized the voice from. "Sanada!" Tezuka shouted after him and ran after him sensing the tension his friend showed.

Sanada had told him about his latest dreams, and hence he rarely dreamt of something, frequent that is, Tezuka sensed the tension his friend had felt from the voice calling for him in his unconsciousness.

Fuji felt the sudden change of situation and her body moved on its own, abandoning the basket in favor of following the two males deeper in the forest, albeit feeling the task a bit hard due to her dress and cloak.

******o*******

"Sanada." Tezuka called his friend as he saw his friend stop abruptly and look around.

"Tezuka, did you really not hear-"

".. please.."

"This way!" he yelled and started in another direction, while Fuji behind them was finally able to keep their track. The voice, he was sure, was the same as his dreams; the same melodious ring of it, and the same plead and ask of help. Sanada thought that no matter who it was, no matter what, he must find the owner of the voice and help them.

And after some running and turning by the guidance of the voice in his head, they reached a smoothly flowing river through the forest, and with the same anxiousness as before, the night-haired man searched with his eyes everywhere.. until his gaze laid on something..

There, a couple of meters away and on the other side of the river, an unmoving bundle laid. The trio crossed the river then hurried to it, assuming that this was the source of Sanada's caller voice.

Ochre eyes softened at the sight of a pale hand under a drenched cape and their owner quickly bent down to remove it and reveal a body that was dangerously pale, with cuts, bruises and burns on the limbs.

He flipped the body over as gently as he could but didn't have the time to notice the face, because his eyes moved downwards to meet a dark scar on the –apparently- female's neck and his eyes narrowed.

Trying to find a heart beat or any indication that this girl was alive or not seemed to give a positive answer, as he felt a weak beat under his hand when he placed it on her chest. The black-haired male sighed in relief inwardly.

"Tezuka. We need to take her back and look at her injuries." he called and Tezuka nodded, while Fuji removed her own cape from her shoulders and stepped forward to replace the wet one on the unconscious body with it. In the process, she received a thanking glance and she replied with a gentle smile of her own.

Sanada placed his arm behind her neck, and softly lifted her upper body to lean it against his torso, as he secured his other arm beneath her knees and stood up bringing her closer to his body so she won't fall. He noted how the body felt lighter than was healthy, but what must be done right now is to check her condition.

The three of them made their way back quickly and in silence, while Sanada took some glances at the frail young woman in his arms.

"Hang in there. I'll help you no matter what.."

...

A/N: So, how was it?
