Across
the Stars

Prologue

16 years ago:

Soun Tendou held his newborn child
in his arms making googily faces at her. “She
is so beautiful, Ayia,” he looked over at his wife, her navy colored hair was the
same color as the little fuzz on the top of their new baby’s head. He and
his wife had only been married for a little short of nine months.

Ayia was sitting up now, “I hope
your other daughters accept her as their own sister. I know I am not really
their mother, but I have done my best to hope that they accept me.”

Sitting down next to his wife,
Soun held his new daughter Akane to his chest as she began to coo
quietly. “They love you just fine, Ayia. Nabiki doesn’t remember
her real mother at all; she died shortly after Nabiki was born. And,
well, Kasumi basically accepts everyone for being three years old, anyway.”

Ayia, looking away from him, let
out a soft sigh. She didn’t have the heart to tell him now, no, not when
they had just been married less than nine months. She had given birth to Akane
a few days ago. She knew she was not going to live much longer, Ayia
hoped that she could have a few years with Soun and his daughters; she would
give anything. She turned towards him, her dark eyes meeting his.
“I am so happy I met you. After the crash, I never thought I would meet anyone
as strong and wonderful as you and your daughters. You make life worth
living.”

She looked over at Akane who was
falling asleep in Soun’s arms. “Will you promise me something, Soun? When
Akane is old enough will you train her in your martial arts of Kempo? I
want her to be strong and confident.” Sure it was not the training she
would want for Akane, but it was better than nothing.

“You want her to learn to fight?”
Soun was shocked, his daughters fighting was something he wasn’t so sure of at
the moment. Martial Arts should be left open to men, women were just too
fragile.

Ayia reached over and grabbed his
hand. “Promise me, Soun. Promise me that you will train her.”

“Alright, I promise.” And he would
keep his promise.

6 Years Later:

“Mommy?”
Akane was tugging on her mother’s hand.

Lying on a bed with light pink
sheets, opening her tired eyes, Ayia looked at her daughter. “Oh, Akane. Mommy is just going to sleep for a long, long
time.”

“How long,
Mommy?” The six year old asked, as her sisters Nabiki and Kasumi stood
in the back of the room next to their father with tears in their eyes.

“For your whole life, my precious
angel, but don’t worry you have your sisters and your father to take care of
you. We will see each other again someday, Akane, you must believe that.”
Her head slowly lifted and she looked towards Soun. “Soun, we must speak
alone. It is important.” her voice was tired and it sounded weak as it cracked
in pitch.

Soun nodded, and took Akane by the
hand. He turned around to Kasumi and Nabiki, “Girls, please take Akane
out of here, I must speak with your mother.”

“Yes, Father,” Kasumi said and
immediately came forward and took her youngest sister by the hand. “Come
on, Akane, we’ll get some cookies so Father can speak with Mother.”

Akane rubbed her eyes, the tears
still leaking from her eyes. “I don’t want cookies.”

Kasumi sighed. “I know, neither do
I.” She led her and Nabiki out of the room, closing the door behind her.

He approached the bed and kneeled
down, taking his wife’s hand. He was staring into her beautiful brown
eyes, which were slowly changing to the deepest green he had ever seen, on her
forehead appeared a sapphire blue diamond. Soun’s eyes widened with shock
that he nearly jumped back. “What is…?” Ayia’s
hand clutched around his tighter so he wouldn’t pull away

“Shhh,”
Ayia said weakly. “I need to explain a few things to you.” She noticed he
looked upset, of course he would be. She waited this long to tell him,
but now it couldn’t be avoided. He had to know the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. “Soun, my love, I have never loved anyone more
than I do you. Soun, I am not from Earth.”

Soun looked at her thinking she
was developing some kind of mental illness in her fading hours of her
life. But then her eyes changing and that diamond appearing made him
think perhaps she was telling the truth.

“I was already pregnant with Akane
when we met.”

Soun’s heart felt like it fell
into his feet, “What?!” He couldn’t believe it. No, it was not possible.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but
I tell you the truth. I had run away from a life I did not agree with. I
am the daughter of a noblemen, and I married a member
of the Juraian Royal Family, he was second in line for the throne. He was
upset of that fact, so upset that without even asking me that the moment he
knew that Akane had been conceived, he arranged her into a marriage where his
line would in fact see the throne first. He was greedy and I hated him, I
hated him more for what he had done.” She glared. “I couldn’t take it. So,
I took a small ship and left. I was running on empty, flying near the remote
planet of Earth. I had just enough fuel to make it to Earth’s atmosphere.
Only, it wasn’t enough to make it to the planet surface safely. That was
when I crashed and a week later we had met.”

“Why didn’t you tell me any of
this before?” Soun looked down at his hands. “You should have told me, I would
have understood, Ayia.”

Tears prickled in her beautiful
green eyes, “I…I was afraid.” She lowered her gaze from his, “There
is more. One day they will come for her. I don’t want her to have the
kind of life I did, I want her to be able to make her own choices.” Ayia took a
breath “When they do in fact come for her, they will take her away if she is
not already married to someone else here on Earth.”

“But they could come for her at
any time between now and the future, correct?” No matter what, Soun was still
Akane’s father, blood or not, there was no way he was going to give her up
without a fight. “But they do not know where you and Akane are, how would
they find her?”

“They have ways; they are most
powerful and respected planet in the universe.”

“They can’t be that powerful or we
would have heard of them.” Soun looked away from Ayia.

“There is a reason why a lot of
the universe is hidden from Earth. Jurai protects Earth,
it is responsible for maintaining its existence. That is why this planet
is never invaded or taken over. It is better for all the Earthlings to be
kept in the dark, less chance for panic.” Ayia leaned back against the
pillow. “Soun, you must keep your promise to me about training Akane.”

“I promised you, didn’t I? I
never go back on my word.” Soun would think of a way to secure Akane’s
life here on Earth. He watched as Ayia closed her eyes, her breathing was
slow but steady. Soun knew it wouldn’t be long until she left his and his
daughters’ lives. He would loose someone he loved a second time.
There would be no remarrying after this, he couldn’t bare the heartache. And he
wanted to keep Ayia’s memory alive and never tarnish
it with another wife.

A few hours later, Ayia Tendou
passed away peacefully in her sleep. She would never be forgotten, a
great mother and a wonderful wife will always have a place in the Tendous’
hearts.
