The beautiful forests

*Claire wandered around the dense forest. The sun was getting ready to set and worry was being to become more apparant. She leaned again of tall tree and held back tears, She was looking around the beautiful forest and watching the animals but managed to get lost. She had a almost full sketch book in her hand, she had been sketching them too* "Where am I?" *She wiped away her tears but her eyes had gone slightly puffy so her crying was obvious*

kazumi was singing gently to herself. her lovley voice echoed through the trees. she stoped when she spotted the girl. "oh my, i'm sorry." "hello."

*Claire suddenly noticed the other girl and straightened herself up and held her sketches close* "Hello, who are you? I... I'm claire."

"hello Claire-san." kazumi said cheerfully. "i've never seen you here before." "wlecome." ^^

"I live on Waffle Island, I'm on vacation here." *She sighed* "Do you know the way out?" *Claire looked left and then right, she /had/ to know. Atleast Claire hoped so.*

"your lost?" 'i can show you the way out." ^^

*Claire smiled warmly.* "Yes please!" "That's so kind of you."

kazumi grabbed the girl's hand. "yosh! it's this way." she said gently tugging her along

*Claire followed obdiently, but it would be hard not to since she was attatched to her hand.* "What was your name, I don't think you said it before?" *She asked softly, Claire was hesitant to ask just in case Kazu had said.*

"kazumi." she repeated cheerfully. "my mother named me before she died." "she always said when she was pregnant with me, she could always hear me sing." kazumi chuckled.

*Claire chuckled softly* "Awwhhh so cute! And Kazumi's a nice name." *She nodded happily. She wondered what Kazumi was doing here.*

"hey, where are you staying anyway?" "if you need somewhere to stay, you can always stay with me!" ^///^ "i won't charge"

"I was going to go to book into the Inn but I heard it's way busy" *She shrugged.* "I'll feel like a nuisance." *Claire chuckled*

"oh goodness no." kazumi said. "it'll be fine." "you won't ge tin the way of anything."

Kitty was walking on the bridge amazed at the scenery. Her eyes brightened like a little girl. She then saw Kazumi and someone she didn't recongize.
"Hi Kazumi!" she yelled running up to them.

"kitty-chan!' "good afternoon!" kazumi said cheerfully

*Claire watched the two and smiled.* "Hi there."

Kitty smiled. She may not have her old memories but she could make new ones.
She turned to the new person, "As you can tell I'm Kitty."

"ah! Claire-san, this is my cousin, kitty-chan."

"We are cousins?" Kitty asked.

<oh that's right, she can't remeber> kazumi thought. 'umm yes." kazu said solemly.

"Hi Kitty, nice to meet you." *Claire nodded and looked at her for moment. Was that the purple witch marking she had heard about?*

"Nice to meet you too." Kitty said with a cheerful smile.

kazu perked up ahgain. "so, would you all like to come to my house for dinner?"

"Well...if you are sure." *Claire looked grateful as she had a beaming smile but now looked at Kitty*
"Not to be rude, but, your arm... Are you a witch?" *Claire's eyes seemed to light up, she had heard about witches but never met one. A purple mark was meant to mean a good witch; she thought so*
