   OK, Here it is, a lil sample of my story....

UNMEI-PART ONE (THE DEPARTURE) Sasami's house was dark when she returned home from her last meeting with Hiro. The scene replayed over and over in her mind, never ceasing. The pelting rain beat on her back as she opened the small wooden door. She couldn't get that last image out of her mind... "Sasami, I have something to tell you." Hiro had whispered, even though he and she both knew no one was around. "What is it?" she had asked so simply, so innocently. "They've found the people in Kyoto, Nasagi Falls is next." "You don't mean..." "Unfortunately, yes." "God no, you...you'll have..." "I have to leave. Tonight. This may be the last time we may ever see each other." Lightning flashed in the sky overhead. Neither of them moved. "Are you sure they will come here next? I mean, they could go to Okaga, or Zuoa or-" Another flash of lightning scilenced her. "Evidentially one of our own tipped the authorities off about us to gain freedom. If we don't leave now, we'll all be killed." Sasami choked back a sob, not wanting Hiro to leave. "I have to go now. Never forget me, Sasami. I'll always love you." Sasami tried to move towards him, but her feet wouldn't move. Instead, he came towards her, embraced her, then turned to leave. Sasami stared after him, and the rain began to fall.
