No....it couldn't be...

The dream...that is all it was...just a dream.  There was no way at all it could be real.  Tohru, it felt as if the very breath was sapped from her lungs, a dry, empty husk slowly quivering in a cold sweat beading against her forehead.  And all she could do at the moment was stare in absolute shock and dismay towards the ground.  [color=6ecff6]"The...Black Knight...?"[/color]  She uttered quietly.  No, she couldn't believe it.  All the while her mind flashed back to that very dream, the arid smell of blood tainting the cold, dismal air, the clashing of swords, the tearing of flesh and armor, like thunder ravaging throughout her mind.  She could see it all again, two knights locked in a bloody fray, their weapons glinting amidst the crash of lightning.  Then, how they skewered each other and died...

[color=6ecff6]"You're lying!"[/color]  She quickly snapped out of it, growling at the assassin Kaname.  Kaname shook her head, [color=8493ca][i]"You cannot deny the Prophesy of Rebirth, Tohru-san, but prophesy or not, it must be fulfilled...by spilling your blood.  It began with the sacrifice of the Rose Maiden, the one you called Chizuru, and it will end with you.  Besides...rejoice knowing you will hold her once more in eternal paradise."[/i][/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Shut up!"[/color]  Tohru yelled incensed with such fervent rage.  [color=6ecff6]"I will not have any more of your lies!  Draw your sword, and let's finish this!"[/color]  And obliging, Kaname snickered raising her weapon, [color=8493ca][i]"Very well.  If you insist your death be quick, I shall deliver it so."[/i][/color]  But a pause, Kaname sniffing the air.  [i][color=8493ca]"Yuki-chan.  Someone else is here.  Seek them out."[/color][/i]

[color=f49ac2]"Right!"[/color]  Yuki nodded and away towards the trees she dashed, leaving Kaname and Tohru to finish their duel.  From tree to tree she leapt with such catlike reflexes, until she stopped at one, overlooking a particular young girl.  [color=f49ac2]"Hehehe, hello little interloper."[/color]  A sadistic grin forming under her mask, she suddenly dived from the tree branch and attacked.
