Prologue: A Wish That Should Have Remained Unsaid

Moon Fry sighed as she continued talking with her friend, Sky Dragon, as they made their way through the throng of students lining the hallway. "You know what I mean?"

"Um, yeah, sure," Sky answered dumbly, having lost track of where the conversation was going when he had to dodge around a particularly rowdy group of students. Moon sighed again, realizing that Sky had gotten himself lost in thought again. She eyed him momentarily as they continued towards his locker.

"You do know my birthday is tomorrow, right?" His suddenly pale face told her otherwise.

"Oh, no… I knew I was forgetting something…" He took on a pensive look. Moon gave him a moment, as she could clearly see the gears really grinding in his head. "If you could be in any anime, which one would it be?"

Moon blinked at the odd question. "Um… I don't really know…" She trailed off, noticing that they were almost at the junction where Sky's locker was. "Inu Yasha I guess… Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason." The gleam that had entered his eyes told her otherwise, but a niggling thought overrode the question she was about to ask.

"I wish something exciting like that would happen to me… even if only once." Sky's right eyebrow quirked up in surprise. "You know what I mean?" She missed the solemn light that entered his eyes as she turned away form him and his locker. "See you later!"

"Sure thing…" Sky trailed off as Moon walked away, frowning. Sensing something stirring within him, he sighed as his normal consciousness was overridden by something far greater. His eyes shifted from their usual hazel to a strange swirl of many colors.

A mischievous light entered his eyes as he grinned. "Wish granted," he whispered. His eyes flashed as Moon's retreating form momentarily took on a strange glow. He grinned again. "And now for a little payback for all those times you wished for a more exciting life and did nothing about it, Sky, my boy. Oh the torture…" He snapped his fingers, a brief glow engulfing his body before his eyes suddenly glazed over.

His eyes then faded back to their usual color, leaving a slightly perplexed student with one heck of a migraine behind. The warning bell rang, signaling that he only had two minutes to get to class. His eyes widened as he hurriedly switched some books in his bag for a single book in his locker, and he rushed off to class.
