A/N: I got the idea for this wile staring at a cloud in the night sky. I don't own Kakurenbo.

It was late at night and two girls were practicing with their numb-chucks.

"Hay look up Jade! There's a cloud!" the older one yelled as the wing blew her long brown hair into her face. The girl named Jade laughed then looked up at the sky and chuckled.

"Hay, you're right Jewel!" Jade yelled. Jewel smirked.

"Well of course I'm right! I'm always right," Jewel said. She didn't mean it though, she was just playing around. Jade rolled her eyes.

"Oh, sure you are," she said sarcastically.

"Hay!" Jewel yelled. Both girls looked at each other and after a second of silence burst out laughing.

"What does it look like to you?" Jewel asked after she had caught her breath. Jade thought for a moment.

"Well, I don't know what it looks like but I know I can see a flower, a butterfly and a snail," Jade said. Jewel laughed. Jade glared. "Oh yah, well what do you see?" Jade said.

"I see a skull wearing a bow tie," Jewel said.

"Where do you see that?" Jade asked.

"Right there! Can't you…see…it," Jewel said but got distracted. Jade stared at her before walking over to her friend and waving her hand in front of her face.

"Hay Jewel, you there? What are you staring at?" Jade said then looked for what ever her friend was looking at, and soon she found it. "What's that?" Jade asked.

"So you see it too?" Jewel asked. Jade nodded. Both continued to stare at a light in the sky that was clearly not a stare as it flickered to darkness, as well as the fog that was gathering.

"What's going on?" Jade asked.

"I don't know, but I want to find out. Come on!" Jewel said as she started to walk into the fog.

"Hay! Wait for me!" Jade yelled as she ran after her friend.

Jewel and Jade stepped out of the fog only to see dark streets and a small stand. They wouldn't have been so freaked if it weren't for the fact that only a few minutes before they had been in their back yard.

"Jewel, where are we?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Jewel said then looked around again. After a few minutes Jewel started walking towards the small stand, Jade following behind. "Um, hello," Jewel said. The man in the stand turned around to face them.

"Yes-s-s," he said, sounding a lot like a snake. Jade stayed behind Jewel, to say the least, this guy freaked her out.

"Um, hello, my friend and I were just wondering if you could tell us where we are and how to get home," Jewel said. The man grinned and held out two fox masks for them.

"What are these?" Jade asked as she stepped out from behind Jewel.

"They are masks," the man said. That was when the two realized that the stand was a mask store. To be precise it was the 'Otokoyo mask store', or at least that's what the singe read. Jewel pushed the masks back at him and he gave a puzzled look.

"Sorry but we don't have any money. Now, could you tell us where we are?" Jewel said. The man grinned again.

"They're on the house. And as for where you are, well, you're very close to the Otokoyo square. I think you should go there," he said as he handed them the masks. Jewel smiled.

"Thank you sir," Jewel said. Jade nodded.

"Yah, thank you," Jade said and they both took the masks and headed towards the Otokoyo square. Neither of them noticed as the small shop started to disappear in the fog, nor did they notice the man's eyes glowing blood red.

Jade put on a baby blue mask that had black stripes on the sides and a black crescent moon on the forehead. Jewel put on a similar mask, only it was black with baby blue stripes on the sides and a baby blue crescent moon on its forehead.

"I wonder why he gave us these masks," Jewel said.

"Maybe just to be nice," Jade said with false hope. That guy scared her and she didn't want to think he had some evil plot because that would scare her even more.

"Maybe, but I don't think so," Jewel said.

Once the two got to the square they saw 6 other kids in masks like theirs. All the kids looked up at them. Jade gulped.

"Um, high, what's up?" Jade said with a shy wave as she once again stepped behind her friend. Every one went back to staring at the ground, except a boy that walked over to the girls. He looked about 13, same age as Jade and one year younger then Jewel.

"High, my name's Kakura Rarenbo, what's yours?" he asked as he extended his hand to Jade and Jewel.

"I'm Jade," she said and shook his hand. She seemed to take a liking to him.

"And I'm Jewel, Jade's older sister," she said and shook his hand once she could.

They would have said more but as soon as they finished the introductions a big door that neither of the girls had noticed started to slowly creek open. A few moments after it was fully open all the kids started to enter in groups.

"Shell we go?" Kakura asked. Both girls nodded. They had no idea what they were in for.
