Cantarella (Crossovers)

Shemei and Yuki

I want Shemei and Yuki to have a close relationship, one as close as Sasuke and Yuki. An older sister, confident, best friend relationship. I really do think Shemei needs a close friend and a girl, who didn't treat her so wrongly at first. Btw.. Yuki is singing this song when Shemei enters the Garden. And continues to sing even as Shemei is blatantly watching and listening. My own voice is alto 2. Meaning I sing really low notes. :) I picture Yuki's voice soft and alto 1.

Tuesday- Oct. 22. 2009- The Secret Garden- 5pm-7pm

Shemei pov

I asked Yukio to take me to the Chairman's office after not finding Yuki-chan in my garden.

I knock and hear a vague 'come in.'

"What can I do for you?" Chairman locks his fingers together and puts his elbows on his desk.

"Ano.. I was wondering if there was another garden besides mine?" I timidly asked.

He leans back into his chair, "There is one. It hasn't been taken care of in years. Since Fleurlotte Vaengaurs, although I wouldn't be surprised if little Lettie has a key."

"Who is Fleurlotte Vaengaurs? And little Lettie?" I ask confused, not recognizing those names.

"Ask who Ms. Takahashi is. I'll let you have the second key. However, once you find the correct door. The second key will automatically disappear." He smiles a 'I know something you don't know'.

"Why would it disappear?" I ask.

"Because the Garden will know who you are the second time you enter. Just think of it and it will appear. Do not show anyone else. The Garden is not mine. It was created by Ms. Vaengaurs." He makes a shoo movement with his hand.

I walk to the door and turn back around, "Is Fleurlotte Vaengaurs, Yuki-chan's okaa-san?"

Faust shrugs and laughs, "Who knows?"

"Okay. Good day, Chairman." I exit and look at the key. It looked like a twig by other than that it feels like a key.

The right door, huh? I need to find, Yuki-chan. The key shines and starts moving. It flies out of my grasp and I yell out, "Hey! Wait are you leading me to Yuki-chan?"

It flickers and dives into a keyhole. I grap the other end of it and twist it. I gasp as I really look around not noticing that the key is suddenly gone. A semi-dark large room. The room itself was a large traditional japanese setting. Green wallpaper with tree designs, red polls sticking to the walls, holding up different floors and the wall. It was shiny and looked brand new. Green trees and a large lake surrounded the area, a few bridges to cross the other miniature islands. A purple stainless glass.

"Sugio..." I let the breathe I was holding out. As I start walking in more, the door closes itself and disappears. I hear a voice singing. Sounds so lonely, sad, yet happy. I start running towards the voice.

I find Yuki-chan sitting on the grass with a few Greenmen listening to her sing. I look at her. She really is something.

She stops singing the last note, "Oh! Hi Shemei-chan. I see you found the Garden."

I nod, "It's truly beautiful. Chairman Faust says he didn't make it."

She giggles, "Mesphito may be a genius, but he can't create something that came out of a child's imagination."

"A child's... how is that possible?" I ask as I sit down next to her. I start to gather a few flowers and tie the knots together.

"I'll tell you a story. It's a true one and promise me, you will never tell anyone else. Mesphito can't even enter this Garden." She looks so serious.

I nod my head slowly, "I understand, Yuki-chan. I won't tell anyone, not even Rin-kun and Yukio."

She breathes in relief, "There was this young girl who grew up in Nice, France. Believing that there was a Hidden Garden filled with many Greenmen and different flowers. When she was a teenager, she believed there still was one and the castle listened to her thoughts. Her pleads were answered. The castle then built a Haven for the young exorcist. The Haven Garden as she called it moved depending on where she went. She stayed in France as that was her home. Then she met a young man, who fell instantly in love with her. The young man, loved her music and belief that everyone, no matter what they were was equal. They married, after asking both set of parents. The young woman and man eventually went back to Japan and the Haven followed. The young woman asked the Haven to only allow her daughter to enter, unless someone desperately wanted to find them. Many years passed and the young girl was named after her mother. However, she changed her name in fear of being caught by someone horrible."

I had gasped, cried, and smiled in all the right places, "Your mother.. her name was Fleurlotte Vaengaurs?"

Yuki-chan nods, "Yes, my mother changed her maiden name as soon as she entered Japan. Her true maiden name was eventually lost. Ma mere, was... she was beautiful. I remember her long blonde, almost sliver hair and bright sky blue eyes. Her wide smile greeting my brother and I everyday after school."

"Will you tell me about your father? And Mesphito mentioned something about little Lettie." I asked her.

She looked directly at me and into my eyes, eventually she stopped searching whatever she was looking for and smiled brightly, "Okay!"

I grinned as bright as her, "Here. This is for you." I bring up the flower crown and put it on her head.

"Thank you, nee-chan. My tou-chan... he was great, he taught us all about music and demons. He taught us that like humans, not all demons were evil. Tou-chan had a vibrant red hair and emerald green eyes. Mon pere and ma mere loved each other so much, it was visible like these flowers. It gave off the feeling of love, content, happiness and affection to anyone who was around them. Mon pere didn't like fighting. He was a huge pasfict, but he taught us; because we had to protect ourselves. Although he taught Aniki more than myself. I didn't care much for that, I rather played my instruments and sing with ma mere."

I smiled and laughed along with Yuki-chan, "So what does little Lettie...?"

"Oh. Remember, nee-chan, this does not leave this room. So you'll have to call me Yuki-chan outside of here. My real name is Charlotte 'Lettie' Yuki Takahashi. Yuki is a middle name, picked out by tou-chan. Sasuke knows, but that's cause he's like you, nee-chan."

"Lettie.. it's cute and it fits you. Why do you hide?" I ask curiously.

"There is a bad, malicious man out that wants to kill me. My brother almost did himself. Although, I think he was hypnotized. I haven't found Aniki in a long time and I'm still looking for him." She replies to me solemnly.

"Are you going to hide here on your 15th?"

"Mhm. I want to keep people safe."

You will... "You will. I know you will. You know you eventually will have to tell everyone the truth." I smile at Lettie.

"I know. Someday, soon." She smiles back at me.
