The smell of Cherry Blossoms and Desert Wind wafted through the area as a light breeze carried it in. Standing suddenly where she had not been before was Anko. Long had she been gone, from this place, long had she been apart from Kiriko yet she smiled softly when she heard Kiriko call her name. Like she had never been forgotten.

"Yes, my old friend, I am here. I have been dreaming, all this time" Anko said softly, walking slowly toward Kiriko's misty form "I have seen terrible things. The Saiken, it would seem, does not wish to slumber anymore" She said taking Kiriko's hand "But my friend, what has happened here and who has made you so sick?" She asked in a worried tone.
