Six  kids were playing on a hill. Laughing and being carefree, they just had a good time, being around each other. Currently they were playing tag, with a lot of adrenaline.

"Catch me if you can, Koru!" Shissou laughed as he ran. He literally left dust behind, making Koru blind.He rubbed his eyes to get the dirt out of his eyes. Koru hated when Shissou ran. He always ends up kicking dirt, leaving a dusty trail.

"Hey no fair! You're quick when it comes to running away!" He had a hard time keeping up. "Aoru, you're not coming are you? You're quick right!?" Koru tried to convince Aoru to come along.

Aoru smiled."Not as fast as you when Tsugumi chases you!" he called out.

"Koru? AH!! My Loooooove!" Tsugumi was running as she heard Koru's name. He became scared and ran right passed Shissou. "SAVE MEEEEE!"

"Tsugumi wait! You forgot something!" Sai ran after Tsugumi, but he was ignored.

"You're horrible Toro," Sara laughed.  

"I try,"Aoru said with a smirk on his face. Sara then pushed him back. "Now try to get me!" She laughed as she ran away. Aoru got up on his feet "Now who's terrible?!" he called out as he began to run.

They all were laughing and running around. Time passed quickly and they all stopped on top of the hill, watching the sun starting to set. They sat in awe in how beautiful the sky looked. With a mix of yellow and orange, with a bit of a red hue farther out, they smiled warmly. Sara held her chest as it started to hurt. 

"Sara? Are you okay?" Aoru gave a concerned look. She held her chest as she fell to the ground.

"Sara!" Everyone gathered around as they're trying to find out what's wrong.

"Guys, we need an ambulance! She's having a heart attack!" Sai exclaimed. No one had a phone on them. "Guys, one of you go get help!" 

"Shissou! You do it!"  Shissou was shocked. "M-m-me?!" 

"Oh that's right, you don't talk to a lot of adults. There's no time, so Koru's going too!" Sai exclaimed.

"What? Hold on!" Tsugumi looked at Koru with determined eyes. "Would you like me to come instead of Shissou?" The two boys left, leaving Tsugumi in the dust. She pouted as she was looking for something in the ground, hoping to find somethingto help her friend.

"Hang on Sara! I'm right here!" Aoru trembled in fear. He carried her in his arms. "You'll be okay,"

"Toro...I'm being taken away..." Sara had a little tear come out her eyes. Her heart suddenly came to a halt. Aoru listened for any beats. Any at all. There was no pulse of any kind. "S...Sara..." He couldn't belive his girlfriend died in his arms. And the last words. "Im being taken away."

"Aoru! We found someone who said he can help us!" Shissou and Koru came back with a tall figure, with long hair and pale skin. He had clothing of a gentleman seen in old english style, and could be mistaken for a woman if faced a certain direction. 

"You two found a strange person" Sai stated. He ignored the comment and walked straight to Sara. "Take this, young man," The strange man gave Aoru a strange charm. It had an odd shape in the center, like a red windmill It was old yet filled with many colors. "If you put this on her, she'll live again." Aoru was skeptical but he didn't really have any choice, considering they didn't call any ambulances.  

Aoru placed the the strange relic on Sara's chest.  The center color reversed from red to blue in a split second. They wondered if they were seeing things. Before they were able to get a second glance, there was a pulse. Her pulse was slowly returning. Her eyes slowly opened. Everyone began to cry with joy,

"Sara! You're okay!" Aoru's voice was shaken along with the wet red eyes. He hugged her tightly. "I thought you really were taken away!" He couldn't help but crying, feeling as if she went away from him multiple times.

"I'm...I'm still here?" Sara got up, confused. Her eyes widened when she saw the man. "You...you're-"

"Hm? It seems you're alriight now. I'm glad." They were all itching to say thank you, however, the man began to walk away. Everyone was running toward him. "Hey wait! "  The man turned around.

"Thanks for helping our friend! You're a lifesaver!" Tsugumi squealed. Sai gave a nod of approval. 

"Are you some sort of magician, mister?" Shissou asked curiously. The strange man gave a small chuckle. "Something like that." Koru looked from behind. "I knew I wasn't crazy. You could be mistaken for a woman. Be careful at night."

*Ugh! Same little brat.* "Of course I will. Take care now."

"Hemnos." The stranger looked at Sara with a strange look. "Excuse me?"

"Your name. You look like a Hemnos, so that's how I'll remember you!" Sara beamed with delight.

"I see. Be careful on your way home. You wouldn't want anyone to worry." The stranger smiled and walked away. Everyone noticed the sun went down and the stars began to sparkle bright. Everyone decided to call it a day and go home.
