Reunited at Last: Prologue

Note from the author- This is My first attempt at writing fanfic. I would like some responses...Ideas,
opinions, but PLEASE NO FLAMES!!!!!!! This may or may not suck, just tell me what you think.
To my fellow fanfic aethers out there who are reading this, any character not in the Ronin Warriors
show is my own creation. If it looks like I might have stolen ideas, character, plots, exc., I DID NOT!!!

Rowen tossed and turned in a restless dream. He was having that same nightmare again. He slowly
woke up and thought about it, about what happened all those years ago. It took place 11 years ago,
the day after his 6th birthday. Their 6th birthday .The worst part about it was it really happened. He
knew that he should tell his friends about it, but couldn?t bring himself to do so. It was such a long
time ago, but so painfully fresh in his memory. He walked over to his dresser and opened up the top
drawer. There, hidden under his shirts (sorry, but I do not think that ?under his socks and
underwear? would be appropriate) was a picture. He pulled it outand loked at it. It was a picture of
a birthday party, and there was a huge banner which read simply ?HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY!!!!?
Under the banner, there was a huge pile of gifts, with two children sitting beside it, one on either side.
On the right hand side of the pile was a boy with short, spiky blue hair and bright blue eyes. On the
other side of the pile was a girl with shoulder length blue hair that was carefully braided, blue eyes
sparkling with excitement. Rowen took one last long, sad glance at the picture and put it back where
he found it, closing the drawer with a sigh of loneliness and sadness. They were so happy in that
picture. Little did they know how soon it would end. Thinking that they would spend the rest of there
lives together. Not thinking that this might be their last party together. He remembered the following
day as if it was yesterday. That was the saddest day of his life. Just thinking about it, a tear came to
his eye. He remembered........

We had been having a race. We would run into the clearing that had that huge cliff, run along
the edge of the cliff, then run back to the path, out of the clearing with the cliff, and end up at
the starting line. Simple. we had done this many times before, without anything going wrong.
Same thing today. As usual, I expected her to win, to beat me to the start/finish line by a long
shot. As usual, she broke into the clearing first, and was running along the cliff by the time I
got into the clearing. She was laughing, having fun, and just generally enjoying the day. So
was I. Then she slipped on some loose stones, and fell over the edge of the cliff. She shouted
the first name that came to her lips. The name of her brother, my name.
"ROOOOOWWEEEEENNNNNN!!!!!!"

I had been terrified. When I saw her fall, I screeched her name, in the same terrified manner
that she had shrieked mine. "RAAAACHEEELLLL" as I raced down the footpath that led to
the bottom of the cliff. I heard somebody call for an ambulance, there was an emergency at
Stone-Wall (Don?t ask, first thing that came to mind) cliff. I had been trying to wake her up. I
still was trying to wake her up. "Rachel, wake up! Please wake up! Please? Rachel, it isn?t
time to sleep! We need to go home! Don?t fall asleep on me now, sis! You can take a nap when
we get home! Now isn?t the time for a nap, Rachel! We gotta go home! Please sis, wake up!"
She never did wake up either. She was still asleep, or as asleep as you could get in a coma.

He sighed again, as he went back to sleep. In his dream, he heard a familiar voice.

"Rowen.....She is still alive....She is at the hospital.....visit her, Rowen...."

"Anubis? Is that you, Anubis? What do you mean, ?visit her??"

"Yes, Rowen, It is I, Anubis....Visit Rachel...go.."

"Ooookaaaayy...if you say so, Anubis...."

"I say so, Rowen... Goodby...

"Goodby, Anubis...I will visit her.."

Then he woke up, his head feeling wetter that it had when he had gone to bed...and he looked
groggily up, to see Ryo standing over him, an upside down bucket in his hands, still dripping from the water that had been in it not to long ago, and an amused look on his face. Rowen grumbled one of his usual comments and super-geniuses and sleep, and managed to get himself out of his tangle of covers, wishing he were still asleep.
