She was a dull little Gray Fairy in a jar. Her wings were torn, close to falling off, and the purple flowery outfit she donned was wilting and losing color. She had long and snowy white hair that was loose and uneven. Her pale face was pretty, but a gloomy expression was always in the way. This little fairy did not utter a single word because she had no one to talk to that was an ally. The only thing that flooded this fairy's mind was her name because it was the only thing she remembered before she woke up in a jar a few years ago; her name was Haku Yowane.

The person who kept Haku in the jar was a woman known as Meiko the Dark One. She was a Dark Fairy that referred to herself as a witch because the term "fairy" just sounded too uplifting. Her clothing resembled that of a spider, one of the most feared creatures in the realm of fairies. There have been times where Meiko had actually put a spider into Haku's jar for a few days to see if she would survive and somehow the little gray fairy managed to escape death.

There were times when Meiko would leave her quarters for a few weeks, all guarded by a magical force-field of course. During that time, Haku would fall asleep very soundly in her jar and would feel like she was protected by the glass wall that was her very prison. After the gray fairy has rested up, she would come up with plans to escape or just pray for someone to come and rescue her. Haku's prayers have never been answered, so she would remain hopeless most of the time.

One day, Meiko was unusually blissful about something. She was admiring a jar very intensely and was rubbing it against her cheek, muttering some words like "priceless" and "rare". There was something glowing in there. Did she find a rare ore? Could it be that the dark fairy found a new species of spider?

Even so, the dark fairy placed the jar next to Haku's jar and went back to studying and giving foolish visitors quests when they asked. Meanwhile, Haku took a glimpse at the jar and saw a fairy with vibrant wings. But wait, fairies were only female and this one was male. He seemed to have a focus on the color red: red hair, red wings, and red eyes. This fairy noticed the gray fairy staring at him, and all he did was stare at her, showing no emotion whatsoever. He probably expected a situation where he was not the only one captured.

"Who are you?" said a deep male voice in Haku's mind, which caused her head to pulse wildly and pass out.

Many hours later, the gray fairy woke up to see the same male fairy sitting cross-legged and staring at her, as if he was watching over her like a protector of some kind. He seemed calm about all of this, but a bit of his color was turning dull. He was still a vibrant red, which meant that he still had enough power to probably escape. Then the fairy breathed onto the jar, creating a small fog. He wrote on it, asking the gray fairy what her name was.

Haku replied by just writing her name, but then asked what his name was.

'Akaito Shion' was his response. He then wrote, 'I have to escape soon or else I turn into a gray pixie.'

'A pixie?' Haku wrote with a clearly confused expression on her face.

'Girls with wings are fairies. Pixies are boys with wings. The end.' Akaito wrote in annoyance. It appeared as though he expected Haku to know this kind of stuff since all training fairies went to the academy for fairies.

The gray fairy nodded at this, not even questioning anything. Why bother questioning something that she probably learned but couldn't remember?

'The lid is a plastic covering.' He answered her question almost immediately.

'What does that mean?'

'It means that I can fly up there and puncture holes with my magic dagger.'

'I see…'

'And then I can escape.'

'But she'll see you!'

'I'll make sure she won't see me.'

This pixie made Haku smile for the first time in a long time. She was very pleased what she was hearing. Was it possible that he would help her escape too? She could only hope. The idea of finally being able to re-experience the outside world flooded her mind at the moment.

'Starting now!'

Haku was immediately shocked by how fast Akaito decided to escape. It hasn't even been an hour since his capture! She saw the pixie fly up to the plastic covering and immediately puncturing holes. The red pixie slid out of the covering and then flew down next to Haku's jar. He gave her a wink, smirk, and a two-finger salute. The gray fairy was confused at what he meant by those gestures.

"Good bye, Haku! Hope you escape one day." The same male voice pounded into her head. The gray fairy passed out once more from this, not before reaching out her hand to the glass that separated the two of them. So much for Haku considering the pixie to be a hero of some kind.

ORIGINALLY, this was going to be an AkaitoxHaku one-shot. But my document got waaaaaaaaay too long lol (17 pages!) So I'll be updating every 2 or 3 days. I hope you all enjoyed this very fast-paced and short chapter XD I admit this is really fast for a short chapter, but like I said, this was originally a one-shot. This will be a short fan-fic. I'm guessing it will be around 5-10 chapters depending on the length and good place to stop. It is a bit more developed as the story progresses.

Bye bye for now!
