Vindeth Warrior Apple Wink Crystallization 
#4- Scarlet winds go by, 3rd Vindeth warrior.

It was lunchtime at Saint Ringo Hirakri academy, Aki came out of her class with Nanako. 

	" Lunch time, lunch time." Aki said happily.  

	" Sheesh Aki-chan you and food. You should really look into guys, like that Vindemor Seith-Senpai I can tell you like him." Nanako said. 

This time Aki didn't argue she only blushed, 

	" I've only know Seith for a few days now." Aki replied. 

	" You say he's from this Vindeth, what was he a servant?" Nanako asked. 

	" That's Saintteantant." A voice said. 

Nanako and Aki turned around to find Seith behind them. 

	" Why don't I explain it to you Nanako-san." Seith suggested.  

	" Sure sit with us." Aki replied. 

	" You see on Vindeth there are two clans the Saintteants and the Kuriantants, who are at war. Back on Vindeth I was a priest, and a very close friend to Aki true father Cestro. I've already explained that story though, not very many people know this but I'm the Saintteantant Priest, the one is destined to open the crystal gates." Seith explained. 

	" I guess that's important huh." Nanako asked him. 

	" Yes it is." Seith said. After school the three of them where going to town, 

	" Well Vindemor-Senpai Aki-chan and I are going to show you around today." Nanako told him. 

	" I'm looking forward to seeing this town." Seith answered. 

	" They have tons of shops here for all kinds of things, food, sports, clothes you name it." Nanako explained. 

	" Hey Seith-san where do you live now?" Aki asked him. 

	" Oh that yes, it took me a while to find a place to live. First I needed money though so I got a job." Seith answered. 

	" What kind of job?" Nanako asked. 

	" I take photographs for a magazine. I also help the school baseball team, I'm thinking of joining it." Seith answered. 

	" That's pretty good, so what kind of house did you by?" Aki asked. 

	" I believe they're called a condo." Seith answered. 

	" What! But they're so expensive how could your afford it. You must have took some pictures." Nanako said. 

	" Yes I took quite a few, it helps when you can fly. Also they wanted pictures of me for some modeling thing." Seith answered. 

	" So you did some modeling." Aki replied. 

	" Hey can we see your house some time?" Nanako asked. 

	" I can take you there after school if you're not busy." Seith suggested. 

	" Well." Aki said.

	" Sure." Nanako said. 

	" Wait." Aki whispered to Nanako, the bell went to back to school. 

	" Well then I'll see you after school." Seith said heading to his classes. 

The girls headed back to their classroom,

	" Aki I don't get you why are you so shy to him, you obviously like each other so just tell him." Nanako said. 

	" Well maybe I do but I only just met him Nanako and I usually don't decided I love a person right there." Aki told her friend. 

	" Alright I get it." Nanako said. 

After school Aki and Nanako where heading to the third grade floor to meet Seith. 

	" I don't come up here a lot." Aki said. 

	" I do sometimes." Nanako replied. 

	" Hmm following Iro-senpai as usual?" Aki asked smirking. 

	" Hey!" Nanako said. 

	" Sorry." Aki replied. 

	" Hey." Seith said coming up. 

	" Seith-Senpai." Nanako said. 

	" Well are you two ready to go?" He asked them.

	" Yes we are." Aki answered. 

They three began to walk; Kyuroke who was at his locker saw them come by. 

	" Hmp Vindemor Seith, don't think you can just show up and steal Aki-san from me." He said quietly. 

A young girl with short red hair in a pink and red school sailor suit was leaving her school called 
Silver Meadow Jr. High. She looked at the sky,

	" It's so warm." she said to herself. 

Aki, Seith and Nanako had made it to Seith's condo house block; it was very expensive looking. 

	" Wow! How many modeling jobs did you do to buy that?" Nanako asked. 

	" Quite a bit, but I did a bunch of other jobs too. I admit it was quite expensive. I'll still getting use to using money." Seith explained. 

	" What you mean on Vindeth there's no money?" Aki asked. 

	" Not really, I mean not everything's free but it's nothing like here." Seith answered. 

	" I wish I could see Vindeth." Aki said quietly. 

	" Don't worry one day you will, I promise." Seith told her. 

	' He's so kind.' Aki said to herself. 

Seith brought the girls up to the 10th floor and to a nice sized room. 

	" Here we are, come right in." Seith said opening the door. 

Inside everything was full of lovely furniture and some foreign looking works of art. 

	" Cool!" Nanako said. 

	" Hmm some of these things look strange." Aki said looking around. 

	" Oh they're from Vindeth." Seith explained. 

	" Oh sorry." Aki said embarrassed. 

Nanako was looking in the kitchen (of course) and she saw a number of foods but none she recognized. 

	" Seith-Senpai what all this stuff?" Nanako asked. 

	" Oh that's Vindeth food, I can stand the food here." Seith explained. 

	" Really." Nanako said curiously. 

	" I wonder what it taste like?" Nanako thought. 

Aki was looking at a painting of what looked like a floating island above a flower field. A large castle made of a gold colour crystal was on the Island. 

	" Seith, Is this of Vindeth too?" She asked him. 

	" Yes, it's a painting of the Saintteant castle." Seith answered coming over, Nanako also came over to look at it. 

	" It looks so pretty." Nanako said. 

	" Yes it has been a while since I was there." Seith replied. 

 	" Hey Aki-chan?" Nanako said turning to Her. 

	" What?" She asked. 

	" Don't you have to pick up that new book you wanted?" Nanako asked her. 

	" Oh yeah, the store will be closing so I don't think I could make it on time." Aki replied. 

	" I could take you on my motorcycle if you like?" Seith suggested. 

	" Could you?" Nanako asked. 

	" Yes I don't mind." Seith answered. 

	" That's great isn't it Aki-chan?" Nanako said. 

	" Yes, thank you." She said. 

	" Well then we'd better get going." Seith said. 

Seith took them to where his motorbike was, Seith also connected the side car. 

	" One of you two can sit in the side car." Seith told them. 

	" Oh me I've always wanted to drive in one!" Nanako said jumping into the sidecar. 

	" Alright then, here's your helmet Aki you'll be sitting behind me." Seith told her. 

	" Hai." She said taking the helmet. Seith also gave Nanako a helmet; he got on his motor bike. Aki got on the back seat; Seith put on his helmet and started the motorbike up. " Hold on tight." Seith told Aki. 

	" Okay." She replied trying not to blush, she held on to Seith waste. 

They got to the bookstore, Aki went inside quickly and she went up to the desk. 

	" Um I looking for the new volume of Tear please?" She asked the cashier lady.

	" Oh I'm very sorry that girl just bought the last copy." She told her. 

	" No way." Aki said sadly. ' I've been waiting three months for that book.' she said to herself. 

	" Excuse me miss, it seems you really wanted this book. I'd be more than happy to give it to you I can always buy another one." The girl said walking up to Aki handing her the book. She was a little taller than Aki, with shoulder length red hair and she wore a headband. 

	" Really? Thank you very much. At least let me treat you to a ice cream?" Aki asked as she took the book. 

	" Alright then." She replied. 

Aki and the girl came outside where Seith and Nanako where waiting. 

	" Hey Seith, Nana-chan where going to get some ice cream okay?" She asked. 

	" Cool." Nanako said. 

	" Aki who is your friend?" Seith asked. 

	" Um she's sorry I didn't catch your name?" Aki said. 

	" I am Haru Violet nice to me all of you." Violet said. 

	" I'm Tamana Aki." Aki told her. 

	" I'm Yuukino Nanako!" Nanako said happily. 

	" I am Vindemor Seith." Seith said. 

	" Come one lets get that ice cream." Aki said. 

Inside the ice-cream store they sat down at a booth with their ice-creams. Nanako looked over at Seith to see he didn't get anything. 

	" What's wrong Vindemor-Senpai? Aren't you hungry?" Nanako asked him. 

	" No I'm fine." He replied quickly. ' I just can't stand earth food.' he said to himself. 

	" So Haru-san are you new around here?" Aki asked her. 

	" Kind off, I moved her a year ago I'm going to Saint Scarlet Academy." Violet replied. 

	" You mean that expensive boarding school?" Nanako asked. 

	" Yes that's the one." Violet answered. 

	" That's right by our school Saint Ringo Hikari academy." Seith told her. 

	" I've seen that school it looks very nice." Violet replied. 

Shirone in civilian clothes was watching Aki and the others nearby. She looked at Violet. 

	" That's her, the daughter of that Saintteant traitor Olivia. Daddy will be happy if I capture her for him." She said happily. She walked over behind a tree and transformed into her normal self. She then walked into the store and blasted the booth near Aki and the others.

	" Shirone!" Seith said. 

	" Ah you again Saintteant!" Shirone said. 

	" What do you want!" Aki yelled. 

	" Quite girl! I have no time for you I have come for this girl!" Shirone said. Seith protectively took hold of Aki. 

	" Hmm aren't you brave. Anyway Haru Violet daughter of the Saintteant Olivia it's time to go." Shirone told her. 

	" What are you talking about?" Violet asked. 

	" Olivia? You don't mean Healer Olivia!" Seith said. 

	" Yes this girl is her daughter so she'll be coming with me." Shirone said. 

	" I don't think so come one Nana-chan!" Aki said. 

	" Right! Oceanic Aoi Crystallization!" Nanako yelled.

	" Applet Cherish Crystallization!" Aki yelled. 

	" What's going on?" Violet said in amazement. 

	" Vindeth Warriors alright Black Attack!" Shirone yelled. Black energy swirled around so no one could see. 

	" I can't see anything." Apple Sapphire said. 

	' My mother isn't from this world?' Violet though. ' Mother!' Violet said. All of a sudden a red light broke the darkness, a red crystal came of from Violet and she was bathed in a red light. When the light dimmed Violet was wearing a Vindeth warrior outfit. 

	" Another Vindeth Warrior?" Apple Wink said. 

	" Yes, Violet you are the 3rd Vindeth Warrior Apple Ruby." Seith told her. 

	" Vindeth warrior?" Apple Ruby said. 

	" Another Vindeth warrior huh well this is my lucky day." Shirone said.

	" Oh I wouldn't be so happy! Ruby Sword Slash!" Apple Ruby said as she made a red sword appear. 

Apple Ruby's sword slashed at Shirone's shoulder making a wound, she cried out in pain she looked furiously at Ruby. " You'll pay for this!" She said as she disappeared. 

	" Good work Apple Ruby." Apple Wink said. 

	" Thank you." Ruby replied. 
	

Vindeth Warrior Apple Wink Crystallization
#5- A protector loved by the protected
	
Aki was at home quietly eating her dinner; she is recalling how Seith was protecting her yesterday. 

	" Why does he risk his life to protect me so much?" She though. 

	" Alright Aki what's wrong?" Aki's mother Sumire asked. 

	" Huh?" Aki asked looking up at her mother. 

	" Oh I know something's up, it's a boy isn't I can tell." Sumire said smiling. 

	" Mom!" Aki moaned. 

	" Alright I won't bother you about it." Sumire said. 

Aki got up from the table; she turned to her mom smiling. 

	" Don't worry I don't have a boyfriend." Aki assured her mom. 

Aki's dad Keiichirou came in to the kitchen, 

	" Aki some one named Seith is on the phone." Keiichirou told her. 

	" No boyfriend huh?" Sumire said smiling. 

	" Jeez." Aki said as she went to the phone and picked it up. " Uh hello?" she said.

	" Ah Aki I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Seith said.

	" Not really what's up?" Aki asked. 

	" Well...I thought we could meet. I mean I have a few things that still need explanations." Seith told her. 

	" Oh okay shall we meet at the ice-cream shop again?" Aki asked him.

	" I believe it's still under construction from yesterday's attack. How about the park?" Seith suggested

	" Sure I can leave right now then." Aki said. 

	" Okay I'll meet you there then, bye." Seith said. 

	" Bye." Aki said, she then hung up the phone. ' The park, that's where could met.' Aki thought to herself. 

Aki went up to her room and picked out something to wear, then she put on her crystal necklace and Seith's communicator and left to meet him. 

	She left her house and began to head to the park; she looked at her necklace. Then she remembered how Seith protected her yesterday again. " Seith." She said quietly. 

	Seith was sitting on a bench waiting for Aki. He took out his crystal, He remembered when Callisto had first shown him Aki, but then she was known as Arian. 

	" Cestro, I am protecting her as you asked, but." He said, picturing Aki's smile. " A I am afraid I am getting too involved with her." He whispered. 

Shirone was in her room; (Her father has taken over a big corporation on earth). 

	" Vindeth Warriors and that Saintteant, you will die no matter how hard and long it will be." Shirone said. 

	" I know how to capture the Saintteant Priest, by attacking his beloved Arian." Shirone said to herself. 

Aki had arrived at the park, she found Seith waiting for her on a bench. " Hey Seith." She said coming up. 

	" Oh hello Aki, thanks for coming again." Seith said. 

	" Sure." Aki replied. 

Shirone had followed Aki to the park, she smiled wickedly. " Just as I though, she's lead me to the Saintteant Priest." Shirone said. 

	" So Seith what did you want to tell me about?" Aki asked him. 

	" Oh yes, well um now with three Vindeth Warriors re-awakened. We need to start planing, once we find the Crystals we have to go to Vindeth." Seith explained. 

	" Go to Vindeth, you mean leave earth, my home." Aki said. 

	" Yes but Vindeth is your true home. Also the whole galaxy is at state. If the Crystals aren't open by the Saintteant Priest it means total destruction to all." Seith told her. He saw the concern in her face; he placed his hand on her shoulder. " Don't worry we have a lot of time until that will happen. We still need all of the crystals and the other Vindeth Warriors." Seith told her. 

	" Other Vindeth Warriors? You mean there are more?" She asked. 

	" Yes, I believe there are about 3 left to be found." Seith told her. 

	" Hmm." Aki said as she sat down on the bench. " Well so far all of the Crystals have been found in the body of the Vindeth warriors. So all we need to do is find them." Aki said. 

	" Perhaps, but I am afraid it is not that simple." He replied. 

	" Huh?" Aki asked. 

	" Only Vindeth Warriors with either Saintteant or Kuriantant blood will carry the crystal with in them. Those that do not hold the blood will be separate from their crystal and I do not know if these last three Vindeth Warriors are of Vindeth bloodlines." Seith said as he sat beside her on the bench. 

	" I see, so that means both Nana-chan and Violet-chan are somehow connected to Vindeth?" She asked him. 

	" Yes, remember Violet is the daughter of the healer Olivia. As for Nanako I'm not sure, she probably does not know herself." Seith explained. 

	" Hah ha that is a problem, well here's one more. Hello remember me?" Shirone said smiling evilly. 

	" Shirone! What are you doing here?" Aki asked.

	" To pay you back!" Shirone yelled at them. She then takes a long whip and sends it towards Aki, but Seith takes the hit just in time. He cried out in pain from the blow. 

	" SEITH DON'T!" Aki yelled. " Applet Cherish Crystallization!" Aki yelled. 

Seith continued to be hit by Shirone's whip, he struggled to stand, but dropped down to one knee. " Please Seith stop!" Apple Wink cried out.

	" I... can't..." He managed to say.

	" Why? Why must you always protect me? Why are willing to give up your life for me?" Aki cried out. 

	" Because... I love you." He replied. 

Apple Wink gasped in total shock, she had no idea Seith loved her. She knew in her heart he did, and she loved him too. 

	" Shirone stop! I surrender take my crystal just spare Seith!" Apple Wink said walking up to Shirone.

	" Finally I knew attack the Saintteant would be the answer, now be a good girlie and hand it over before I change my mind." Shirone demanded. 

	" Let Seith go first." Apple Wink replied. 

Shirone wrapped her whip around Seith's arm and threw him down to Aki's feet; Aki ran to him and held him up. " Seith." She said happily. 

	Seith forced a smile even through the pain; " Thank you but please don't give her the crystal if you do everything is lost. My life is not so important." He told her. 

	" I couldn't do that!" She said as she wrapped her arms around his chest lightly, crying. 

	" Hurry I have to time for Drama!" Shirone yelled. 

	" Alright." Apple Wink replied. 

	" Aki don't!" Seith told her as she got up. 

	" I'm sorry Seith I could bear you dying, you see I love you too. I thought it wasn't possible because we have only just met each other. But I won't ignore such strong feelings anymore." Apple wink said smiling at him. She then turned to Shirone and took off her necklace and held it out. " Take It." she told Shirone. 

	Shirone came over and took the Crystal from Aki's hand. " Ha ha ha! I have it I finally have it!" She yelled. Shirone then took her whip and wrapped it around Aki's neck. " You fool do you think I'd let you live after the embarrassment you gave me! ha ha ha." Shirone said wickedly. 

	" Aki." Seith said as he struggled to get up. a light began to glow from Seith's arm, where his sleeve had been torn away a strange tattoo with some sort of writing it was shown. Seith turned into Saintteant Priest and made his sword appear he slashed it down on the whip breaking it. 

Aki collapsed to the floor choking, Seith ran over to her. " Apple Wink are you alright?" He asked. 

	" Yes thanks to you." Seith replied. 

Shirone took the crystal and pointed at Seith and Aki, " That was not smart Saintteant with this crystal I can easily eliminate you both. How touching that you will die together, consider it my present. DIE!" Shirone yelled. A black pulse of energy shot out a hit Seith and Aki who screamed out in pain.

	Apple Wink reached out for Seith's hand and Seith grabbed her hand. " Seith if we have to die I want to be with you!" She cried out. 

	Seith pulled Aki close to him; they looked up at each other and kissed. All of a sudden a pink-red light glowed from the Cherish crystal. And the black energy turned to white, healing Aki and Seith of the wounds. The crystal floated back into Aki's hand. 

	" That's impossible NO! It can't be!" Shirone said in disbelief.

	" Believe it Shirone, a crystal of Vindeth can not be corrupted for evil so easily." Seith told her. 

	" Especially when here feelings of love are it's strongest." Aki said smiling at Seith. 

	" Don't think you've one, my father will be able to take care of you!" Shirone said, she then disappeared. 

Aki picked up Seith swords, " Here you are." She told him. 

	Seith took the sword and smiled. " Thank you Aki." Replied. 

Apple Wink turned back in her normal safe, she reached her hand out to Seith's. He turned back into his normal self and took her hand. " Seith I think a page of our battle has ended." Seith told Aki. 

	" Yes but there's a lot more to be written." Aki replied as she looked up at him lovingly.
