I couldnt believe it....She was standing right there. I looked at Isuki who looked like he's seen a ghost.

"M-Mom?.."

She smiled and gave me a hug. Lydía, Suki and Karuma starded at me wide eyed. I felt tears streaming down my face, still shocked to what was gonig on.

"I love you, my dear..."

She let me go and i saw a male figure but it was...blurry so i couldnt see him well. Next thing i knew, they were both gone but before she left i felt something in my hand.

"I hope you father gets better Lydía.."

Once she disappeared, I stood there in shock with tears still streaming down my face. Lydía was shocked too.

"How did she..."- she mumbled

Karuma and Isuki looked at eachother than back at us. I dont know was it was but i felt like..something..bad was about to happen...to my...mom. Isuki walked up to me. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on top of my head and the next thing i knew my face was buried in his chest, crying my eyes out.

"You ok, Riki-san?"- Karuma asked

I looked at him as Suki and Lydía started to chuckle. I smiled and wiped the tears from my face. My eyes were all red and puffy from so much crying.

"Yeah, im fine..."
"Lets get going. My house is near there."- Lydía said

Lydía led us to a tree. She taped on it and said something that we wouldnt hear. The tree shock as Lydía pressed her hand on it.

"Why did you do that?"-Karuma asked
"Cause the entrance to my home are trees."- She replied
"So...if you can do that to trees...Then why didnt do do that to the trees that was around us before?!"- Karuma asked
"Do you know what type of tree this is?"- She asked
"No..."- He responded
"It's a maple tree."- I said
"Yes! And these types of trees are the entrance way to where i live. "why?" you may ask, i do not know..."-She explained
"Coool..."-Karuma commented
"Um hello? Im here to ya' know?!"

Karuma, Isuki and i looked around. Who said that?..

"Who was that?.."- Isuki asked
"Um the tree duh..."

We all looked at the tree. Lydía smiled at the rest of us were in shock.
The tree...it talks?!

"Hey Maple!"- Lydía said
"Hey Lyda!"- the tree replied. "Wanna come home now?"
"Yup! And these fellas are coming with me!"- Maple said
"I see...wait...is that...."

Maple narrowed her eyes at me then she stared at me in shock.

"Oh my...."- Maple mumbled. "Lil Fang? Is that you?!"- She shrieked
"Yup long time no see heheh..."- I replied

Isuki stared at me for a moment then back at the tree.

"Its been to long since the last time i saw you. You changed some much since the last time i saw you. After that tragic day...they said...you and...your family was no more...Everyone was devastated....but your here...how?"-She said, looking at me in disbelief.
"Um..my parents erased my memories...and then the sent me to live with my grandmother..."- I answered.

I started to get a liitle dizzy and my heart broke saying. Now that i have my memories back, i remembered everything. What i saw before i left..and....my parents death...seeing the getting killed infront of me... A tear threatened to stream down my face from the thought. Maple say this and decided to not ask anymore question and changed the subject with her "heart" breaking seeing me in the stae i was in after that question.

"So who are these guys here?"- Maple beamed then she glanced at Isuki. "I dont like him."

Lydía tried to hold back her laughter but failed as Isuki's eyes widened.

"I didnt do anything!"-He defended
"Not yet..."
"hehe anyways this is-"
"This is her husband Isuki Shitori and im his nephew Karuma Shitori!"

Maple looked at him like he had ten heads as Lydía laughed. Isuki and I blushed like mad as karuma smiled from the chaos he caused. Isuki glared at him.

"You little-"
"Um....His my boyfriend. Anyways...Lydía i think we should get going."- I said
"I agree."- She replied
"Alright then. Come on in!" Maple beamed

Lydía walked in first, Karuma walked in after. I walked in and it was dark with a light on the otherside like, i was in a dark tunnel. I walkdd out of Maple and saw cabines and a waterfall. Beautiful flowers like Sade sunflowers, etc grew there too.
Isuki came out and was covered in maple syrup. We laughed as he glared at us.

"U ok?"- Lydía said
" What do u think...? IM COVERED IN SYRUP?!"
"Pffffffffft!" -Karuma and i laughed even more.
"We'll take that as a yes then. Come on my cabine is not fat from here."

        We followed her down the hill and what we saw we unbelievable. There creatures of different kinds. Some that were even extincted. As we walked my eyes wonder, looking at all the creatures and studying there faces. I was so shocked.
    We walked into what looked life a market. There was so many different foods that recognized and some that i didn't. That market solded different types of fruit, clothing, pies, cakes, jewelry, art stuff, etc...
      I walked over to the jewelry and it was different then from what im used to but they were beautiful. There was so many different kinds.

      All of them were so pretty but one specify one caught my eye.

    This one was displayed in aspe ial way. I was beautiful but then i turned my head to the right.

      There was one that had a nice and familiar presence like ive seen before.

"Take it my dear...A use it to defeat the dark one..."- My mom said
"BABE?!"
"....Uh?"

       I shock my head and looked at Isuki.

"Yeah what is it?"
"We're waiting for u. Come on."
" Ok but-"

      Before i could say anything isuki took my hand and led me to where Karuma and Lydía were. I looked back at that necklace with the blue crystal, and it glowed.
     We finally reached Lydía's house. Her house was like a cabin like mansion with vines around it.

         It was so pretty and looked so peaceful.

"Come on in!"

   
      Inside the cabin was so pretty. She
led us to what looked like a sitting room.

"Dad? Stevey?"-She yelled

       Suddenly, three men and boy appeared from around the corner. I couldnt see one mans face but i could teel which one was the butler and which one was her father.

"Hey dad, we have guests. "
"I see. Hello-"

      Her dad stared at me in shock. He then looked at the man next to him who froze in his tracks. The man let out a deep sigh and took of the mask. I stood there wide eyed.

"Hello everyone its been a while."
