okay you already know the deal Disclamer:I don't own SMJ or any of it'd characters I only own Sanato..hehehhehe...anywayz this "episode" is called "Prophecy of Love and Death" hope you enjoy.

Lime woked up slowly.She rubbed her head and was about to fall asleep when she realized she wasn't in her usual slepping bed.."What happened?...oh..yeah...last night....." Lime had flashbacks of everything in an instant second."Otaru...." Lime got up and looked around"Wow......"her stomach grubbled"Im really hungry I haven't ate anything in a really long time.....I'll just go see what Cherry is cooking......!"Lime remembered Last night"I don't think I should go in for awhile...okay! no problem I think i will go see what Yumeji and Hana are eating!"

Lime walked down the short hallway and went into the kitchen. No one was around so Lime thought she could help herself to some food. Lime went towards the refigerator and was about to oped it when she stopped to pick up a note."What this?....."Lime, sorry but Yumeji and I went to see my father again...I know there isn't much food but I think you should go back to Otaru and fix what's wrong..then at least you can have a decent breakfeast-Hana&Yumeji"...wow...does he really care?" Lime put down the note.

"Should I really go over...was this all MY fault?...am I the one to apologize..Otaru apologized last night....and I didn't maybe it is my fault..I should just go over there and-"Lime remembered everything Sanato said to Otaru in her defense..and everything Otaru didn't say to convince her he loved her."Otaru..No..I can't go back...at least not yet..I hope the store keepers can feed me.." Lime left Hana's house and headed down the street it was still to early the sun had not risen completely yet so Lime went ontop of the biggest Hill in Japoness where she can see the whole town.

Otaru woked up and since he knew what he must do he ran into Hana's house."Lime....It's me Otaru..where are you?" Otaru checked the kitchen first thinking she would be eating, then he checked the bedroom since she might be sleeping then he knocked on the bathroom door..but she was no where to be found.'Lime is not hear..and neither is Hanagata or Yumeji..i guess they all went somewhere...what's this?"Otaru saw the note and read it."Probably Lime went there Im sure she's making new friends..I guess I'll wait till she gets back home..I have to go to work" Otaru left hanagata's house and went straight to work without food.

"Poor master Otaru...he hasn't eaten since yesterday he needs energy for his job...what are we to do?" Cherry had on a real worried face.

"There is simply nothing we can do Cherry..."Bloodberry sat down"You and I heard Otaru last night..we always new the truth about the one he loved more......we knew also by the prophecy.....Im sure that the guy Otaru was talking about is the one to come take Lime away...Lime has to shape up or-"

"Or...she'll loose Otaru forever...she must choose it's between Life or Death..Love and Hate....Oh poor Lime she is only a child...."

"Wrong...she is more adult then any of us...she just likes to look at things from a different perspective.....I don't blame her, life can be cruel and she has choosen not to accept reality and live a care-free life....but the time for games is over...she's going to learn that today"Bloodberry was looking down and held her hands in fists.

"Today..hmmmmm"Cherry looked out the window.


Lime was staring at the Town."The stores must be opened by now...I hope I can get some food..."Lime sat up and then felt a hand on her shoulder.At first she thought it was Otaru and had on a big smile.he came to get me!. but then he spoke.

"Lime...are you okay?"Sanato asked.

it's Sanato..what do I do?Lime turned around."Sanato hao!" Lime raised her hand to give her usual greeting.

Sanato grabbed her hand as well as the other one and put it into his own. "Lime I know last night you didn't sleep in Otaru's house..and that right now your hungry and are to stubborn to go back home so why don't I take you out for some food?"Sanato had affectionate eyes right now.

"But how.....?" Lime was curious how he knew everything about her?

"How what?"

"How do you know about me...everything about me?" Lime looked straight into his eyes he was taller then Otaru so naturally he was taller than her so she always had to look up to speak to him.

"Simple...Lime sit down"Sanato sat down and Lime looked at him first then decided to sit down as well.

"Lime...me and you....we are meant to be together...we are one..soul mates...you have a soul as you know and I have been searching for you I was born to Love you and you were born to love me."At this point Lime didn't want to believe anything he was saying she loved Otaru!!!! no one else!

"There is a prophecy Lime....."At this part Sanato grew very serious.

"A prophecy?..what's that?" Lime tilted her head towards him..oh no he's serious again.

"A prophecy Lime..is a sort of story..legend... something that suppose to happen in the future.....understand?" He looked at Lime for her acknowledgement

"uh huh"Lime nodded

"Lime this world..is in danger....and the least thing I want to do is force you to save and risk your life for it again......so that is why I am going to tell you my plan."

Lime looked at him."What type of Danger?"

Sanato sighed it looks like he had to take the long way. He looked at the sky. "Terra 2 is beatiful,even if there is some bad things on it..... It's a great place to live,,,it's even better now that you marionettes showed up...more like a million times better."Lime blushed"You see The Prophecy is called "The Prophecy of Life and Death" or "Love and Hate"...."

"Life and Death.....Love and Hate....that doesn't sound to nice...."

"Yes I know...and you are the key Lime..."

"The key?....me?" Lime was interested and confused at the same time"You sure it doesn't deal with Bloodberry and Cherry as well?"

"Im sure....Lime your love for everything is more pure then anyone else alive......and my love for you is everything as well....but right now your confused....I can't elaborate everything right now because im not completley sure myself but....there will be a time when you are going to have to choose....choose the one you truly love and that will decide whether or not this planet will be saved..or perish into nothingness...."

"What?!...me?!...What if I can't choose..."Lime started to think about choosing....choose between who?..Sanato and Otaru..NO! are they one's I must choose from?!

"At that certain time everything will me revealed to you so you will know exactly who is it you truly Love....Lime..I....." Sanato stopped talking and watched the complete sun in the sky.

"Sanato...is there somethuing wrong?"Lime looked worried but back in her mind she knew what he was thinking about...he was wooried that he might not be choosen.....

"Come on Lime your hungry let's get something to eat already" Sanato got up and stuck out his hand.

Lime looked up and with a smiled grabbed it."Hai!" they walked together to a restuarant named the Okabeko.{heheh >.<}

Otaru was working at the fish market right across the street he went to the front to put down some heavy boxes that had the fish in them "Whoo..that's heavy.."*sniff*"Oh god it reaks!" Otaru put his hand to his nose"If i don't breathe i will be fine....."Otaru heard a familiar voice...as they drew near he recognized it...Lime!. Otaru looked up and was shocked to see Lime and that guy walk into the restuarant together

"Lime......that's it I have to tell her and but an end to this!" Otaru walked over and entered the Restuarant not paying attention the boss' protest.

Otaru looked across and saw them sitting down at a two seater.he walked over but stood still when Lime started talking.

"you know....about this whole Prophecy thing....I think you have the wrong girl.....I can't choose who I love between two people because.." Lime looked at sanato who had his head down.

"Because?....is it because you don't feel as though you love TWO people...but only one..is that Lime....is it that you don't Love me?...I know it's you.... I love you Lime...I-"

"hello welcome to the Okabeko may I take your order?"

"Hmmm..I'll take a sake and a miso soup...Lime?"

"Sanato.....the same but without the sake...thank you"

"Okay I'll be right back.."

"Sanato....."

"Don't say anything Lime.....wait till after we eat and after this nuisense is gone...."

"huh?" Lime looed around and saw Otaru hiding.

Oatru ran around hysterically...and dropped down to floor when he banged into a waitress and got wong-tung soup all over him......."oh no...."

"Otaru!!!!!!!" Lime was happy but upset that he was spying on her instead of comming up to her...clearly he still didn't trust her."I want to leave..now!" Lime got up

"But the food...."Sanato had a sad face because he was very hungry.

"Fine I'll go alone......."Lime walked past Otaru and didn't look at him once.

"Wait Lime...don't leave!!" Otaru closed his eyes, begging and pulling on the clothes of what he thought was Lime's."I wasn't spying honest I came here to tell you some-"

"Ahhhhhhhhh...get off me!!!!!" The waitress smacked Otaru over the head with the plate and Otaru fell flat on the floor with swirly circles as his eyes."oww........"

"Lime wait!" Sanato got up and ran after her

Outside...

"Lime calm down.....come on let's find another place to eat I know your hungry..."

"No i'm not you don't know everything about me!" Lime stomach growled

"un huh..let's go" sanato grabbed her hand and instantly Lime remembered the night they took Marine to see Lorelei and when she started to have her chest in pain and then Otaru held her hand at night."Otaru......"

"What?...." Sanato turned around and stared at her.Lime stared at their joined hands. Sanato followed her sight and instantly grabbed it tighter."Lime...Im not Otaru Im Sanato........" Sanato looked hurt and then continued to walk and eventually ended up in a nice little resturant.

Lime was in a daze.Otaru when Otaru held my hand and I looked at it he broke it off easily....because cherry and everyone noticed...but here out in public...Sanato held my hand..and kept holding on even tighter when I looked at it......Sanato is completley different form Otaru....is that a good thing.....why did Otaru follow me..why didn't he come up to me...why doesn't he trust me..why doesn't he love me? why-

"Lime...your thinking to much again...."Sanato went back to those simple eyes

"oh...hehehe sorry..."

"are you going to eat.... the plate has been sitting in front of you for about 5 minuets now.."sanato pointed at the food then at the clock on the wall.

"Oh!...hai!"Lime started to dig in hey she couldn't really think clearly on an empty stomach.

about 10 minuets later they both walked out of the resturant and Lime running as usual yelled out and said "Lets' go play...oh at the forest!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!"Lime had a big grin on her face..but deep down all she could think about was Otaru.

Sanato smiled he loved Lime more than he ever imagined."Sure I'll race you!!!"

"Yay!!!!! On your mark...get set....GO!!!!" Lime took off in a blast.

"Sanato stood still and smiled...."No way I can keep up with that marionette....hmmm...This mission was suppose to be easy..I wasn't really suppose to fall completley in love with her......"Sanato closed his eyes..

An image took form of a facility that was well equiped.

"Subject 0624..Sanato Shrigo...your mission is to fullfill the Prophecy of Life and Death.Love and Hate....you will go to Japoness and track down this marionette....JSM 01L...or Lime to be exact....you will convince that you have a strong emotion towards her and make her forget her master..Otaru Mamiya....so that she can choose you at the time,.....and the fate of the world falls in your hands...There will be an update on information later...but whatever you do do not..i repeat DO NOT fall in love with the target is that understandable O624?

Sanato nodded and smirked"She is a marionette How can I fall in love with something so...lifeless?"

"She will be more than you expect 0624..report back to me each night on your mission....your stealth mode is your black cape it will allow you to watch over her at night without being detected by JSM 02C understand?

"Acknowledge..One question...Vice"

"Yes..what is it?"

"Am i strong enough to take her out?"

"hahahha..dear boy you are made to love not fight,you are just a cyborg....."with that the vision vanished.



Sanato opened his eyes...."Hmmmm...oh wait Lime!" without anyone noticing Sanato vanished under his cape and jumped from building to building.

Once at the entrance to the forest..Lime was waiting there for what seemed forever.

"Oh..I forgot your human...hehe Gomen!" Lime waved her hand in the air to show her feelings.

"Oh....it's ok! im just glad i got here...so what are we going to play?"

"ummmmmm.....hmmmmmmm" Lime knocked her head with her hand."Oh!..let's play hide and seek with the Ponta!!" Lime smiled and started to nod her head up and down really fast.

Sanato smiled."Okay!" He thought for a second"Where is the Ponta?"

"Oh heheh don't worry" Lime put up her hands to each side of her mouth and yelled"PONTA!!!! COME OUT AND PLAY!!!!!!!" Lime stopped then smiled, she looked over to where sanato was standing who looked at her in amazement, then she pointed to a direction and in a second about 6 baby ponta and 3 teen pontas came out.

"Wow....how did you do that?"Sanato questioned in wonder.

"Hao!!!!!!!!!"Lime raised her hand to all the Ponta, then turned to look at Sanato and gave one of her smiles."Ummm i don't know heheheh i just yelled and they came...come on let's play"

For about 3 hours they all played hide and seek Lime was always the seeker and Sanato turned out to be a good hidder, he was the only one she had trouble finding.

"Wow!!! that was fun,the best hide and seek I have ever played!!!" Lime was walking happily with a big smile on her face.

"Yeah I haven't had that much fun since....ever"sanato smiled and looked at Lime who was carrying a baby Ponta.

"hey!!! lookie!!!!!lookie!!!!!"Lime pointed at a pond.then looked down at her clothes which was filthy.

"Your..ummm.....dirty" sanato pointed at all her dirty spots which she got from running through the forest and then he started to blush.why am I blushing?...i hope she doesn't go for a swim....

"hey I know since we are both dirty!"Lime pointed at his clothes" Let's go for a swim!!!!!"

Sanato gulped."Ummmmm"Sanato's voice cracked then he put it back together but with a fake macho voice"Umm no thank you a guy is suppose to be dirty......"sanato started to walk away trying to look all buffed.

Lime jumped on him"I don't think so!!" Lime grabbed him and threw him in the water with all her strength...she threw him pretty far."hehehhehehe yay!!!!!!" Lime jumped in as well.

Lime grabbed a lot of water and started to wash her hair and then she went under water for a swim.Sanato grew worried when he didn't see her come up for about 2 min so he decided to go under as well. he saw her swimmming and he was amazed..so amazed he forgot that he can't stay long underwater so he started to drown,Lime saw this and hurrily rushed over to him to grab him and bring him up.

"oh wow..are you ok?"Lime was holding on to Sanato by his arms.

"*cough*cough*...ummm yea i think i will be fine...*cough* th-thanks" Sanato looked at Lime who had a worried expression.he smiled.she saved me.

"next time don't scare me like that again!...ok?" Lime smiled now

"promise....."he grabbed her arm.

"huh?"Lime looked down and blushed as he went closer.

"This wouldn't be the first time you know....." Sanato said just below a whisper.

"what?....but we never...ummmm"Lime was confused as well as nervous and blushing

"The dream Lime.....we kissed...it's mean to happen...."Sanato pulled her very close to him

"but..."sanato was about to go in and Lime was about to fall for it but then Otaru flashed through her head and she pushed him back."It was just a dream..."

"what?"Sanato grew confused and a little angry..he wanted to kiss her soo much

"IT WAS JUST A DREAM!" Lime started to swim away.

Sanato just stared at her while she started to get out of the water and stood still but didn't turn around to face him.

"Was it...was it all nothing but a dream....?....no that dream was-"

"sanato.....I want to....I want to go home...."Lime turned around and looked at his eyes which were sad and angry now....."Home to...Otaru....."Lime looked down and didn't see the rage that went through his eyes.

'Fine....let's go....."Sanato swam back to land and got up and passed Lime quickly.

Lime just stared at the ground following him mindlessly.

bact at Otaru's home.

Cheery finished cooking a long time ago and Lime's food was cold....Bloodberry was passed out on the floor for drinking to much sake. and Otaru was just sitting on the floor staring at the door waiting for Lime to come home...if she was ever comming back..

"master...im sure lime will be here soon......." Cherry put a hand on Otaru's shoulder.

"No.Cherry she's not..she's out there somewhere with that guy...umm sanato i think his name was..."

"huh?...do you mean Sanato Shirigo?!"Cherry got extremely serious.

"what..I don't know..maybe.why?"

"Does this man have black hair and wears a black cape?"

"yeah!..how do you know...Tell me Cherry what do you know about him?!"

"Not much but from recent documents he is not just an ordinary male from Terra 2"

"what...what do you mean?"

'He isn't exactly like a marionette..since he doesn't have out strength but he has greater strength then a normal being and he was constructed at a facilty in Romania from my documents...."

'So is he a complete Robot?"

"not exactly......"Bloodberry said getting up from her sleep like state

'Bloodberry your up...."Said cherry smugly

"yeah....so?"

"Oh nothing I just-"

"Bloodberry what do you mean not exactly?"Otaru demanded cutting Cherry off who felt offended.

"What i mean is..he was a ordinary male at first..most likely....but he most of got kidnapped or even

volunteered to be transformed.....to be fixed into let's just say a...cyborg."

"A CYBORG?!"

"Yes.....according to our information circuits"said cherry

"Don't get to technical..it's common sense...what human can at least catch Lime from a falling tree and not get hurt?"

"What Lime fell off a tree?"

'yes...when she first met sanato shirigo...."

"Why didn't you guys tell me?"

"We thought it wasn't neccessary"

'Otaru...Listen..you can't baby Lime forever..if you are going to Tell Lime how you feel.....then tell her now before it's too late....Cherry and I understand.." Bloodberry smiled and gave a thumb up.

"Bloodberry......"

"Of course Master Otaru we love you and we love Lime....all we care about is both of you to be happy."Cherry bowed her head

"Cherry..." Otaru walked up to the both of them and gave a hug that lasted about a minute before Bloodberry punched his back.

"What are you doing wasting time here....go find Lime!!!"

"right! I'll be back soon!" with that Otaru ran to the door.

As soon as Otaru ran to the door and was about to open it to leave..the door opened by itself and Otaru took a step back.'huh?"

Lime came walking through the door wiht her head down.Otaru yelled when he saw her.

"Lime!!!" Otaru grabbed her and brought her head up."Lime what's wrong?" Otaru looked at her eyes which were sad and confused,

"Otaru..........."Lime grabbed on to him with a stong hug not wanting to ever let go of him again.

'Lime Im realy sorry please...forgive me....don't cry please"

"Otaru...Im sooo sorry..please don't be mad..please don't hate me....please im sooo sorry"

hate you?!...what is this girl thinking i can never hate you..I love you lime!!!!"' "Lime I--"Otaru just held her close and didn't know what to say,

Bloodberry grabbed Cherry and told her to go upstairs and Cherry obeyed...Then Bloodberry walked over to the two standing there.She knocked Otaru on the head.

"Ow...."Otaru only let one hand let go of Lime so he can rub his head.'Bloodberry why did you do-"

Bloodberry put up her hand and stopped Otaru.Lime was still sobbing and kept her head down in Otaru's chest.Bloodberry winked and walked away.Otaru got the picture.

It started to rain a little and it was dark already.Lime controlled herself but was still sad and wouldn't look at Otaru directly in his eyes....Otaru knew what he had to do...he had to tell her his complete feelings towards her.

"Lime"he grabbed her tight and lead her to the counch"Sit down....." they sat down."Lime there is something I have to tell you...."Lime still didn't look up.Otaru sighed"I can't tell you if you don't look at me and try to understand and listen to what I am going to say.....so please..look at me"Lime looked at him

"Was it that hard to look at me..huh?"Otaru smiled,and so did Lime

'Otaru I-"Lime was cut off

"Let me speak first Lime I have been waiting to tell you this....please." Otaru turned to a soft yet serious face

"ok......"Lime nodded and gave her full attention.

"Ok here I go....."Otaru put his hands on her shoulder.
