Hi all,
Once again Hime is here to post about something...
Well, Its already yr 2007, I guess this is my first post since the start of the new yr.
Rite now I am literally slacking at home doing nothing because I am transiting between jobs... So rite now i am just helping out at my aunt's factory when she need help or i'm just helping out at PCBunk when Kenneth needs help... To me i just wanna spend my time away doing something, coz thats the only way i wont think about anything...
I realised when I am too free, i start to think about alot of things and they all lead to depressive thoughts... I dunno why my hubby just cannot understand me... Today He just told me that I am like a kid. This leads me to think that he thinks i am stubborn and childish. I felt so sad and hurt lo... I've always been trying my best in everything I do for him but why do i always feel that he has never appreciated whatever I have done? When i think about his health, I told him to cut down on his smoke, even to quit, he thinks that I am just obstructing him, at least thats the message i derived from his actions. It has led me to the extent of giving up on asking him to quit smoking... Yet he says that i have never been considerate for him, I have never tot of him before myself. This also leds me to think that he feels I have not given enuff, that i am selfish. But I felt I have given so much I have nothing more to give, I feel so empty nowadays that I dunno what I should do...
Right now as i think about my future with him, I am starting to get even more depressive. I really worry wat will happen when i start to have his child. What will happen then, will i be even lonlier? I understand how pregnant woman think and feel when they enter pregnancy. Those were the times when they think alot and thats when we start to lose our self-esteem because our body changes over the months. I really scared his heart will change because of my behavior when I am pregnant in the future... Its really very frustrating for me but yet I feel a sadness when I think about such things...
This yr I chanted for happiness for myself. I really dunno what I should do anymore... I just cannot help feeling sad... I have been feeling very very sad that I would cry myself to sleep a few nights in a week. I also dunno why but I just wanna cry... But I don dare to cry my heart out because I don wan to worry my family... I'm really going crazy le... I feel so much like killing my ownself... How?? Life feels so meaningless to me nowadays. If not because of him, I think I am already dead...
But I really hope things will change this yr... I have enuff of being weak le... I wan to be strong... I hope I have the wisdom to handle whatever is coming next ba....
Guess thats all for now... Nitez...

As dawn breaks and the birds shook their wings and sang, Youichi was already awake and ready to catch the first light of dawn. Sun rise has always been something he never missed as it signifies the start of a brand new day and he has always felt hopeful when the rising sun painted the night sky with a rosy pink which gradually lightened into a fiery orange upon a light blue sky.
As always, Youichi spent the night among the tree tops and next to a lake that was formed from a freshwater stream that has flowed from the great alps. Sleeping in the tree tops ensured that he would be safe during that night as he would be out of sight. Waking up beside a lake would mean that he can have a bath followed by breakfast. If he was ever so lucky, he would even have enough for lunch.
As per his daily routine, he walked over to the lake and was about to strip off his top to get into the lake when he sensed the presence of void killers.
Kazu, void killers in the forest. At least 4 of them. said Youichi to Kazuya urgently.
Void killers in the day. I wonder who sent them. There are not many who could control them. Only the dark lords were able to do so. I wondered who sent them here and the purpose of doing so. replied Kazuya half in thought. Youichi proceed to feint ignorance of the void killers and jumped into the lake with his top tied around his waist.
As he swam around, he treated as though the void killers are not around and he is just going about his daily routine. But in his mind, he has been trading back and forth tactics with Kazuya. As they finally settled down with the tactic, Youichi took a deep breath and dived into the depths of the lake. After diving for 10 metres, Youichi hovered and calmed his racing heart down. He then chanted the scriptures of delay spell cast and also wrapped his aura around himself to form his armour. At the same time, Kazuya materialized in the water and took on the form of the great Dragon.
I'm ready, lets go. was all Youichi said to Kazuya. Kazuya propelled himself upwards with a swish of his tail and brought himself and Youichi out of the water. Just as expected, the Void Killers were already positioned to take him on the moment he surfaced. Just this time round, Youichi and Kazuya managed to surprise the void killers in their face when water from the lake blasted from the centre of the lake and splased all over them.
Youichi let go of Kazuya's horned spine and leapt for the nearest void killer in the open. While in the air, Youichi called for his black katana which came forth from his left arm. He made a semi circle turn in the air and prepared to deal a downward stroke from his position in the air. The void killer he was aiming for immediately blocked the strike and due to the force from the strike, its knees collapsed into the soft ground of the lakeside. Youichi never stopped for a second and continued his attacks on the void killer. Under his breath, he chanted the Chains of Wind and quietly released the spell onto the unsuspecting void killer who was too busy blocking Youichi's onslaught. When it came to realise of the spell, it was too late. Chains of Wind wrapped itself tightly around the void killer's body and squeezed tightly as though a python killing its prey. The void killer was instantly killed by the sheer pressure of the spell and shattered into dust.
Thats one down, three more to gosaid Youichi with a little arrogance. As he was leaping away to engage the next void killer, Kazuya let out an ear piercing scream and dropped from the skies into the lake. Youichi too fell where he stood, a needle seemed to have pierced the back of his neck and he was fast losing consiousness. He turned his face from the possible direction where he could have been shot and saw the Wise Woman standing among 2 void killers. The remaining 3 void killers has already gathered to her and she was smirking at him.
Kazu, you alright? Youichi sent an anxious thought to Kazuya.
I'm alright, just that I've ben pierced by a great needle and it has paralyzed me. assured Kazuya. Youichi, glad that Kazuya was safe, turned his attention back to the Wise Woman who stood among the shades.
He silently prayed for his blessed armour to be activated and internally be purged of the aneasthetic. But this is a long process and what he did not have was time. "Wise Woman of the Drake Tribe, I was about to return to you to report of the mission to you. Apparantly, I've been having abit of trouble here." said Youichi in an attempt to gamble for time. "Well, now that I'm here my child, why don't you start to tell me all that you have known." replied the Wise Woman in a malicious tone. Youichi struggled to sit up and managed to do so, he looked the Wise Woman in her eye and saw her desire to kill him for something. Youichi then sent out an inquiring thought to Kazuya,
Are you alright now? I need your assistance. Yeah, I'm fine and ready to move now. replied Kazuya with some verve. Kazuya then shot out of the lake and moved towards the direction where Youichi sat. He merged his soul with Youichi's katana and Youichi was immediately filled with renewed energy. He immediately stood up and leapt for the trees. As it was day, it was not easy for him to stealth but he managed and moved among the tree tops.
The Wise Woman was infuriated when she realised that her quarry has took off. She sent ten void killers to chase after Youichi, giving special instructions to Celes her servant as well as the captain of the void killers to bring back Youichi's heart. Celes set off after the Youichi and the Wise Woman gave orders to return to her hut.
Youichi knew he was getting chased down very fast as the anaesthetics in him was still not entirely cleared, his speed has been greatly reduced by that. He had no choice but to wheel about the engage two of the fastest void killers who were catching up with him. He rushed head on and chanted for the Flaming Petals. He released the petals of fire upon the apporaching void killers and rushed along with the petals. This created some confusion but it was effective enough. The two void killers were slashed through in their mid section and they immediately crumbled to dust. Youichi was about to turn and continue fleeing when he realised that he has been surrounded by 6 other void killers and also their captain. The captain made a salutation and proceed to introduce himself. "I am Celes, captain of void killers. I've been sent by the Wise Woman to get something from you. Now it would be wise that you don struggle, I promise it would be quick." "Now what makes you think that I would be so easily defeated, you god-forsaken creatures. I will never give in to the likes of you!" roared Youichi as he launched a fireball at Celes and rushed towards Celes. Celes smirked and gently tapped off the fireball coming in his way using his left hand as his right hand went to his sword and drew it out to block Youichi's strike. "Such arrogance. You are nothing more than a midget to me young lad." replied Celes mockingly. "We shall see who has the last laugh." replied Youichi in anger as the two man locked their swords in place.
The void killers moved into formation and launched their attacks on Youichi. Having only himself and Kazuya, he knew he is badly outnumbered. Despite the continous attacks, he managed to hold. But he soon tire due to the remnants of the anaesthetics as they continued their onslaught on him. Cuts and bruises start to appear on his body where he wasn't able to block in time. He knew he had to do something if not he would really be killed. Youichi gathered his remaining energy and chanted for Ring of Fire and blast it outwards. The six void killers were immediately killed and turned to dust. Celes stood out of harm's way but was looking extremely furious. Never has anyone managed to create such a blast before. Celes then launched his own attacks at Youichi who was already badly injured. Youichi parried his every attack as much as he could but soon he realised that he has been pushed to the edge of a cliff. After using so much energy on the Ring of Fire, he knew he has nothing left for another spell. Yet deep in him, he suddenly felt the presence of raw energy flowing into him as though a cool stream of water was making its way down parched throats. He grabbed onto the energy and chanted for Spirit of Wind to protect him. He launched himself off the cliff and hurtled into the fast moving stream. Celes who couldn't swim shouted his fury at Youichi for losing his prey and sweared that he will get him for sure.
Satisfied that Celes was not able to follow him and he was safe for the moment, Youichi sank into deep darkness and followed the course of the river to wherever the river might bring him. In the darkness, Youichi saw the vision he seen in the white light. He embraced the vision and fell into a deep sleep.
