^o^ I so love this story~! I dedicate this to Killua and Shinma~! You guys wanted Mimato most and you got it n.n And I really hope ya'll like this, I tried not to ramble about details and such but I just can't help it! That's just how I write, I always have to describe every detail . And the first part-paragraph-may not make sense but it will in a while. I mixed Sailor Moon/Digimon/CardCaptorSakura/Super Boink (if you watched that anime^^) I mixed some stuff in them all together and a *hint* of Magic Knight Rayearth and Tenchi Muyo too.
-^o^-
Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Digimon, I only claim credit for this mixed up idea and will appreciate it if no one takes this idea and make it as your own story.
Circling around the solar system, hovering mindlessly around the planets, inching closer to the third planet--Earth. Earth, a pitiful planet created just to see how its piteous and selfish creatures can survive given the chance to live in a self-absorbed planet by themselves, so unorganized and depleted of their hearts only thinking about their selves before others. They don't care that much about their environment that one day this universe shall take over and so shall the darkness and this pathetic world shall be destructed by such oblivion…Or at least, that's what Clef, King of the Darkness says…
"Lord Clef," a middle-aged man, in appearance he seems like he's 30 years of age though at heart he's 245. He bowed before the throne and announced, "We are nearing planet Earth, shall I send out a Katsubito to distract her while we take our arrival on Earth." (Katsubito is like, an evil spirit)
A hand slightly waved from the shadows of the chair made of crystal, "Do as you please, Umiko. Tell Fuuto and Hikaru to get ready for arrival, oh and-don't disturb me again when I'm in here."
The one called 'Umiko' bowed and marched away across the narrow panel that stretched from the chair to the other side, under that, was total darkness that will swallow whatever object comes within an inch of it and swallows it to stupor. This was just a small region of darkness out of the whole hovering palace, a palace that was shaped like a wild thorny flower-crystal spikes shooting from here and there that met into a black, round glowing object that seemed to put out a mystical dark aura. It was slowly descending to the planet Earth where it will spread its darkness and take over it-after that, the universe and everything else that would stand in its way.
"Just a little bit more," the shadow said as his hand twirled the golf ball sized gem that he possessed and spoke in a younger voice than Umiko, "I'm almost at the peak of conquering this pitiful planet. Masaharu, how foolish of you to walk out of the 'Kuro Quartet' twenty seventeen years ago…and marrying an ordinary Earthling girl to live a life on this poor planet! Though lucky me, the gem of fire was given down to me and thus giving me the most powerful of the celestial gems to use to rule over the universe with no troubles. Hmm… though, I guess I have your son to deal with first-how could he posses the power of fire when you gave it up? This is just confusing!
"Maybe he isn't the only one I have to deal with…By choosing the side of Lokishiro-keeper of light-by choosing him you broke your promise to the Kuro Quartet and helped him retrieve these gems to keep Planet Earth safe. But why? Earth is just this pathetic little planet that can't and won't survive on its on I'm even surprised at how it has survived for this long of time. Yet eleven years ago in human years Lokishiro passed away at his great age of 5,000 years…
"All I need now to complete the phase for great power is the Necklace of Aretha-then I shall receive the true power to grant me the greatest wish anyone could ask for-extreme power. My only conflict now is to get a hold of the necklace, stupid son of yours, Lokishiro…placing it in the hands of a mere teenager girl and giving her whatever power you have left to what…defeat me?" he chuckled, "And what makes this girl so special…no matter, I will destroy her and Masaharu's son."
The man stood up. He had on a white one-suit that had green linings and went from its short sleeves to his feet which were covered with black boot-like shoes. He had white-silverish, smooth hair that was sort of matted down just above his ears, his skin was almost a shade of light peach and he had shiny green eyes that sparkled from the light the sun gave he stood looking over the earth from the gaping glass window that extended from the floor to roof. Maybe this 'King' was no man after all-he was a mere boy at the age of seventeen and already he was planning to rule the world with his darkness.
He smirked, "Umiko."
The same man appeared behind him, he had long brown hair that was loosely tied behind his back and had eyes that matched the color of the dirt itself and he wore long white pants and a long black coat that he kept his hands in.
"Fuuto." Another man about a hundred years younger than Umiko dropped down beside Umiko and had short green hair with light green highlights-he wore black tight pants and a green tank top that had gold-threaded designs. He nodded with his hands at his side, one carrying a thin-wooden flute.
"Hikaru." A girl. She stepped on the other side of Umiko and was also around his great of age, she slightly turned sideways and crossed an arm over her chest while the other was slightly raised to the height of her chin-at her palm floated a medium sized blue ball. She had long blue hair that dropped straight down up to her back and had light blue eyes that matched her light blue, turtleneck dress that went down a few inches above her knees, with its black knee-high boots and black buckle belt.
"With the gem of Fire and the gems you three posses; Umiko with the gem of Earth, Fuuto with Wind, and Hikaru with Water-together with the Necklace of Aretha, your gems, and mine combined shall grant me the ultimate wish I desire!" he started laughing which got louder and louder till his voice rang around the crystal domains that was about to make its presence to Earth.

"Mom-mee!!" a young five-year-old boy screamed.
By screaming loudly, he had only cause yet another pillar to
break down, screeching its death in flames. The building of Yokosho Network
Central was in flames, computers that held precious TV program files were
almost in ashes, smoke gasping for air as it flowed rapidly out of the windows,
and the whole building was about to collapse. The young boy came to be at this
inferno since he was with his working mother and had decided to embark on a
journey-a journey that was soon to lead to his death.
"Summun, help me!!" he cried loudly as the pillars fell in front of him.
Outside the building there were hundreds of people crowding around-mostly the people who worked there-and watched as the firefighters did everything they could to calm the fire and save the small child that was left inside. The police officers tried to push everyone else back from the building though an exception, was a middle-aged woman that was screaming and crying for her son.
"Please," she pleaded to the officer, "Save my son! Shokou!"
The man tried to pull her back, "Please, ma'am! We are trying the best we could to get him out, stay where it's safe!"
Not far beside them was a TV reporter-Ironic that a reporter would be here when the TV Central was burning down, "As you see before you," he announced onto the camera, "The Yokosho Central has aired it's last commercial when a very mysterious error occurred with the wires that were to be used. First there were sparks that later on ended to this!" he pointed to the falling building.
"Ah!" the camera slightly put down the camera and pointed at the sky, "Look up there! It's her!"
Gasps filled the crowd and was followed by whispers as an anonymous shadow slowly landed before the building. It was a girl. A girl at the age of fifteen who was dressed in rather exotic clothing-she wore a white flowing cape that was a tad bit longer than her long honey-colored hair that went just below her shoulders, a pink shirt that revealed a bit of her belly and had sleeves of even brighter pink that went to her fingertips, and had little white wing shoulder pads, in the lower middle of the shirt was a not so big slit that revealed a white silky fabric. She also bore a thick burlap belt that held up her white fluid skirt that went a bit higher than her fragile knees and showed her slender figure. At her feet she wore burlap boots that had a black buckle across and tiny wings at the sides.
No one could tell who this mysterious yet known girl was being that she always wore a series of glitter across her hazel eyes and always tried not to face anyone directly for them to take the time to realize who she really was. She had her arms crossed and was eyeing the building as an officer ran to her.
"Lunar Ice! Are we glad to see you!" he exclaimed.
The girl smiled, "Pleasure. Now, what's going on?"
"A young boy, Shokou Tenshaku, around the third floor is stuck and we can't get close enough to-" he was cut off since the girl had already flown inside the flames with great speed.
The girl landed with grace onto the fainting floors and quickly ran around in search for the boy, she called out, "Shokou! Where are you, Sho-kou!"
She heard coughing not far away from where she stood, "…I'm-*cough*-right here! Help me!" he choked.
"I'm coming, hold on," she assured and ran to his aid, dodging the falling pieces of the roof. She smiled and found him huddled in a corner, crying quite loudly. She ran to him and took him in her gentle arms, he must've been quite shell-shocked since the moment he felt her cradle him in her arms she kicked her hard in the shin.
"Haiji!" he shouted without looking up at his rescuer.
She slightly fell to her knees and winced, Ow, Arrgh, why do they always do this? Kami-sama remind me why I'm doing this again? She sighed and pounced off the cement, as she glided away from the inferno her eyes fell upon a black shadow behind the wall of flames and at the same time zoomed off-What the- she thought and carried the sobbing child.
Outside, she gracefully landed onto the cement streets and was greeted with hundreds of firemen and officers, workers and passer-byers, and the boys' mother. She handed the boy back to his mom and he quickly burst into another series of crying and hugged her tightly, though the super girl wasn't done yet, she quickly kicked her feet and flew up, she stopped when she got a good height of the building. Her left knee crossed up her left leg and she slightly turned her body sideways yet her head remained facing the flames, she placed her right hand in front of her rosy-lips and softly blew. A blizzard of ice-made petals in the shade of crimson swiftly came out of her palm and whirled around the inferno, each petal covered the flames and when the whole building was covered the ice slowly melted away, carrying every remains of the fire with it. (Stupid attack, huh? u.u)
"The Yokosho Network Central is safe!" the reporter exclaimed, "Once again, our loveable super heroine has saved the day!"
Everyone cheered and ran to the masked savior as she dropped to the ground next to the young boy she had saved earlier. The young boy quickly jumped up and hugged her while everyone else were too busy either adoring the safe child or congratulating and thanking the young girl. The reporter and camera-man came bustling through the crowd to get an interview.
"Excuse me! Coming through! Lunar Ice, can we please get a word from you?!" he called from the cheering crowds.
"Huh? Oh, hai!" she replied and turned around as the reporter reached her.
The man hustled with his suit and adjusted his mike, "Ahem, as you have witnessed before, this building behind me here-the Yokosho Network Central-was in covered in burning flames as a result of a weird inaccuracy. A young boy trapped between collapsing roofs was saved by our local super heroine-Lunar Ice!" and everyone cheered louder.
The girl flushed, "No big. I'm always happy to help!" she smiled a one-million dollar smile which made her so loveable in the first place. She blinked when she felt someone tugged on her skirt. She looked down and smiled when she saw the young boy beaming at her.
"Arigatou, Lunah-chan," he said so innocently that the girl couldn't help but smile, and she smiled even more when the boy hugged her left leg. 'Awws' echoed through the crowd.
"You're very welcome, Shokou." The girl replied before flying away. She smiled to herself, Okay, I guess that's why I do this…she yawned and flew away from the half-ashes building and the waving citizens. The girl glanced down at her watch that was cleverly hidden beneath the sleeve, 7:30.
The girl stared blankly onto the miles and miles of blue sky in front of her, Hmm, I wonder what that thing was back in the building…she frowned when hearing her stomach grumble, Aw I'm starved! She looked around her and saw all the people that were filing in and out of buses and into the big buildings where they worked all day, students from high schools and such were walking around the streets only half awake being that they all had to wake up for school. When she was sure, she slowly descended on one of Tokyo's neighborhood alleys and landed in a narrow street between two large skyscrapers but once again gave one last glance around to make sure no one's coming before collapsing to the ground, sighing.
"Haiji. That boy called me 'Haiji'! How dare he?" she pouted. (Haiji-Monster)
A small high-pitched laugh came from behind, "Well, that costume of yours is pretty weird-looking."
"Bakayaro!" the girl scowled in annoyance and turned around, "I didn't want this costume in the first place!"
A small cat about the size of two hands hopped over to her. It was a tabby cat with soft white fur with a few shaded areas of orange, it also had straight lines for its eyes so no one could see what color its eyes truly were, and at its forehead was a three red triangles, the middle slightly bigger and the other two upside down. To most people, this might look like just an ordinary cat that followed the girl around but this cat was from a totally different planet that had been sent down to Earth for a purpose and was really 3,000 years old too and can also disguise his five tails and combine them into one.
The cat sighed, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Don't let what the little boy said he was scared, he was in a flaming building, you know. Besides, you have no time…It's already 7:35 and…Osoyo."
The honey-headed girl gasped and looked at her watch before bursting in a nervous breakdown, "Nani?! Ack! I'm late! Oh no…!" she clumsily stood up and fumbled with her outfit. She cleared her throat and rapidly grabbed the pendant that was wrapped around her neck and hung down to her chest, "Kuro." She whispered and was engulfed in a white light that seemed to burst from the ground she stood on-the light, like a ribbon, suddenly wrapped the girls' body only letting her head out in a small hole, and after a second--disappeared and left the girl in her standing dressed in her school clothes now-a blue long-sleeved jacket that covered a white blouse and red tie, and a black skirt that went a bit higher from her knees, around her legs she wore black stockings with matching boots. She tied her long hair up high and beamed at her friend.
"Okay, Loki, how do I look?" she smiled and tugged at her skirt.
The cat eyed her, she kept tugging at her skirt and stomping her boots to fit comfortably, "Apart from your usual ditzy-ness looks, okay, I guess." The girl pouted, "Oiy, I am a extraterrestrial being, what'd you expect?" The mark on his forehead glowed and beside him floated in a brown book-bag and a blue binder, "Better get going, Mimi."
The girl, Mimi, yelped and grabbed her stuff and ran all anime-like towards the streets, "Ja ne, Loki-kun!" she called and kept bumping into people along the way to the bus stop, "Gomen! Gomen!" she kept grinning, "Oh! Daijobou?!" she kept asking and ran faster to catch the already moving bus.
After she was out of sight, only hearing the 'Ows' and 'Gomens' of Mimi, Loki sighed, "Oiy vey…Out of all the strongest, brightest, not to mention graceful girls there are in this world-I went and picked her…How can I expect her to save the world when she can't save herself!" he let out a small laugh, "Good thing Masaharu's son is arriving today-she'll need him. And maybe he'll need her too…We don't have much time, that building burning down wasn't just some accident-King Clef has arrived." He sighed, "Well! Anywho I have a whole day ahead of me and I need some major snackage!"

"Osoyo, Mimi-chan!"
"Gomen ne, Sora-chan," Mimi bowed and grinned nervously.
"I'm assuming you woke up late again?" Sora asked as they walked out of the locker room and up the stairs.
"I er-" Mimi was running out of excuses of why she's always late.
"Ooo! Let me take a guess, got hungry?" came another voice from behind, "Iie, found a nice dress to buy?"
"Oh, Ami-chan! Ohayo!" Mimi greeted as her other friend walked on the other side of her. The three sixteen-year-olds giggled and headed towards their homeroom, Mimi skipped to the door and slammed it open, "Ohayo minna!" she exclaimed and hopped in.
The whole room beamed when Mimi walked in though who wouldn't? It was Mimi Tachikawa, A student, cheerleader captain, homecoming queen, happy, beautiful and every guys' dream and every girls' nightmare-except for her friends. Even though half the guy population of the school had asked her out, Mimi turned them down and lived happily yet still popular with her anti-boyfriend life. Sora, Mimi, and Ami walked across the back room and took their usual seats at the back corner-Mimi sitting a the second to the last seat by the window, Sora beside her and Ami behind Sora. The moment she sat down, Mimi and her friends were completely surrounded by half the boys in the room.
"Hands off, gentlemen, Ms. Mimi's already taken." Commented Michael Anderson who raised his hand to silence them all and stepped in front of Mimi's seat. (I dunno Michael's last name x.x)
"Who says she yours?" asked another boy.
"Me, got a problem?" he glared and the boys sighed before backing away and just went back to their original groupies. Mimi sighed and could hear Sora and Ami snickering beside her when Michael turned around and smiled slyly. Michael, A student like Mimi, class president, junior leader of the Father-Son Club, athletic, and a total slime-ball…to Mimi at least.
"My fair Mimi," he took her hand and kissed it. "If it's possible you look even more beautiful today."
Mimi grunted and wiped her hand on her shirt, "Michael, why don't you stun gun yourself?"
"Only if I wake up beside you, my love." He grinned, "Why don't we discuss our future together over a bite after school?"
"Onegai," Mimi rolled her eyes, "For six years now, you ask me that question ever day, and every day I give you the same answer-get a life. Besides, I'm working today."
"Ah, the most kawaii waitress at the most popular hang out for you teenagers-"
"What are you, 40?" Sora joked.
"Ahem, well, I have tutoring anyways so I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you." he replied and sighed.
"Oh happy days," Mimi muttered.
"Alright, people, settle down." The teacher walked in and seemed to be in an awful mood-as usual.
Everyone sat down and greeted back, "Ohayo sensei!"
"Okay, starters-homework! C'mon, take them out they're worth a quiz grade this time," moans filled the room, "Oiy, let's have it."
"Psst, Mimi!"
Mimi looked to see if the teacher was looking then turned and leaned her head towards Sora, "Nani?"
"Did you hear about the Yokosho Central?" she asked, Mimi felt her body stiffen.
"Hai," Ami cut in, "Something 'mysteriously' happened with the wires and the whole place lit on fire! I was walking near there and I heard that there was a little boy stuck there-my neighbor, uhh…now, what was his name again…"
"Shokou." Mimi spilled out.
"Soya, how'd you know?" Ami asked.
Mimi laughed nervously, "Eh, I heard at the news or someone, I think. So, what happened?"
"Well, the firemen said that they found no evidence of any wires getting messed up or anything. They say that the fire might've started at the lower bathroom, they don't know which, it's so weird though that a huge fire like that could start without anyone noticing until half the building was on fire!" she said almost surprising herself by the facts.
"Hai, and you know," Sora said, "The people even tried to put it out with fire extinguishers before it got out of hand but somehow it wouldn't die down-it was like it was fireproof or something!"
"Takenouchi! Tachikawa! Masaki!" the teacher yelled from the front, "Would you mind sharing your conversation with the rest of the class?"
"N-no, sir."
School went by like a breeze, Mimi fell asleep about five times though Sora and Ami were there to snap her out, "What's with you? You not getting enough sleep or something?" Ami asked.
"Hai, I'm fine. Don't worry." Mimi always replied cheerfully.

Mantle Grove. Located somewhere downtown and is the most popular hangout for students like Sora and Mimi. After school, Mimi and Sora greeted their manager and headed to the locker room to change out of their uniform. Sora on hers while Mimi laid her left foot onto the bench and tied her shoes, the uniform they had to wear were pretty okay, they thought, sure made guys crazy over them which totally bothered them being that Sora was already going out with soccer star, Taichi Kamiya, and Mimi-well, you know.
Sora tied her white apron around her waist and neck that overlapped a tight orange dress that had no sleeves and tight around the turtle-neck top while the bottom flowed down to just above her knees, and at her feet she wore white boots that went four inches past her ankles. She glanced over at Mimi.
"Hey, what's that?" she asked, pointing to the long necklace that had escaped Mimi's pink dress when she bent down. It was a rusty-metal looking object that took the shape of a teardrop-at its crown were three small holes and an even bigger one hollowed out at the bottom insides of the pendant, it hung around her neck by a long piece of burlap string.
Mimi stood up and giggled nervously, "Oh, nothing," she tucked it back in, "Nothing at all! C'mon!" she grabbed Sora's hand and dragged her off outside.
The two girls paced back and forth from the tables to the counter, giving orders, taking orders, and crisscrossing around delivering them. More people from their school and other schools came in later, there were only four waiters that day-Sora, Mimi, and two others from other schools. Ugh, Mimi thought as she carried a plate of hot fries to a table, Mimi Tachikawa, from sassy to sweat hog! She stopped when she thought she saw a glint from the corner, she thought it might've been Loki watching her, but then she'd sense if he was around. Weird…I know I've seen that flicker twice today, she told herself. Mimi kept finding herself thinking back to today's incident, what Sora and Ami said made her wonder about that 'mysterious' fire starter, what if it's some new evil-dude out to get me? Loki warned me about something like this though he never went ahead…Typical.
"Mimi! A little help here!" Sora called out.
"Gomen ne, zoned out there minute!" Mimi smiled and looked around to see if anyone needed her service. Her eyes stopped on a young boy about a year older than her and was sitting quite lonesome at the table by the corner, she didn't think he looked half bad in his black pants and loose green sweater that went nicely with his dirty blonde hair, though that expression could use some 100-watt smiles-yet somehow she was attracted by that. She walked slowly over to him and his eyelids opened yet still paid her no heed, after a while the boy noticed her gawking and tossed her a look.
"Something wrong?" he asked and took a sip of his coffee.
"Oh!" Mimi blushed, "I-I was just amused by well-your eyes…" she felt the boy staring weirdly at her though didn't look up, "I've just, never seen such mysterious, blue eyes…"
"Arigatou, I guess." He plainly answered.
"Umm…Can I get you anything else?"
"Just a burger, I guess."
Mimi stuttered, somehow she didn't want to leave his side yet, "Er, would you like fries with that, sir?"
"Iie, I'm fine."
"You must be new here," she fumbled. "I've never seen you around here before, which school do you go to?"
"That's really none of your business," Mimi winced at that rude remark. "You're Tachikawa Mimi, right?"
"Hai," she sounded surprised, "How do you know that?"
The boy shrugged, "I've heard about you."
Mimi was getting fed up with that tone of his and few words, she forged on, "And you would be…?
"That's for me to know and you to stay out of-" he stopped and stared at her. Mimi blinked as he extended his hand and went for her chest, she slapped his hand away and shrieked.
"Ecchi!" Well, this caused everyone to look at the two teenagers in confusion and angst.
"Ecchi? What are you talking about?!" he said, "I was looking at your necklace, doofus!"
Mimi felt herself turn red. How humiliating! She just screamed 'pervert', slapped the hand of this drop-dead gorgeous guy just because he was looking at her jewelry and caused everyone to stare at her. She bowed repeatedly, "Omg, gomen ne! I didn't know! I thought-" she was cut off when the boy stood up.
"Yeah, whatever." And began to leave.
"Wait, where do you think you're going?!"
"That's really none of your business. You'll find out everything sooner or later-maybe sooner than you think," he said in a serious voice and waved his hand back, "Ja, Tachikawa."
Mimi got back her confidence and dignity, she was so ticked off at that boys' arrogant ways and mysterious statements. She stomped her foot, "Arrgh, the nerve!" she fumed, "And he didn't even pay!"
*~
~*
Mimi marched into school the next day still at the same foul and curious mood her encounter with the boy left her. She opened the door to her Chemistry class which was only one of the few classes the seniors and 11th graders shared. (My fic, they HAVE to share this class, and I forgot the name for 11th grade, freshmen? No?) Mimi groaned and sat herself down to her regular seat and was greeted by Ami, Sora, and Michael, she ignored them and plopped herself onto her seat with a loud groan-the three stared at her.
"Mimi? You missed homeroom," Sora asked. "Daijobou?"
Mimi faked a yawn, "Just not enough sleep, homework, you know. Don't worry, I already have a pass for missing homeroom," The three bought it and went back to their usual conversation around Mimi though she just ignored them and recalled yesterdays' events.
~*~
"Hair of the sun and eyes like the ocean, huh?" Loki pondered as he floated around Mimis' room.
Mimi sat up from her bed, "You've said that like ten times now." She said sarcastically, "Who is he? How come he knows me and is interested about my necklace?"
Loki's face lit up, "Aha! I knew it, he's here! Good timing too, the Kuro Quartet has finally arrived so it's a good thing he's here already. Now if I could just talk with the boy or Masa-"
Mimi tilted her head, "Can you please explain? What does this have to do with that guy?"
Loki finally seemed to realize that Mimi was there and spoke in a serious tone, "Mimi, remember that time when we met, when I gave you the rest of my-powers? The power of Ice? Well, not only you possessed this kind of power. Like I explained when we met-about King Clef and the Kuro Quartet, the necklace of Aretha and the gems-"
"Hai, I already know all this."
"And that is all you could know being that I only know about the gems and the necklace, you shall find out more later on …Being that Clef has arrived I assumed you'll need help so Masaharu has sent his son here to help you retrieve the gems and save Earth. I warn you, keep in mind who you are-what you represent and the power you hold. I had informed you that King Clef came to planet Earth this morning-that accident at Yokosho Central? That was no accident, it was all a setup to distract you and me so we wouldn't notice their presence when they land."
"My father, as I explained before was Lokishiro II and was the one who helped Masaharu retrieve the four gems-"
"I thought you said there were three?"
"Well, if you were paying more attention to the story you'll know that there were originally four of them." Loki sighed, "I haven't told you the whole story, Mimi-chan. Sit down and I'll tell you everything-"
"Can I go get popcorn?" Loki sighed, Mimi blinked, "Nani?"
"Since the beginning of time their had been four elemental gods that ruled the galaxy in peace under the control of the greatest being-Tsunami, who's power is too extreme thus is restrained by the keeper of light which was my father who was a loyal servant to Tsunami. But peace didn't last too long for the god of earth wanted to gain more power than the rest, this started a feud and since then the balance of the universe has been uneasy and the planets were being depleted and thus left only eight floating among the solar system and the others left hovering about the ample space. The feud continued for a couple of earth years till Tsunami got so tired of it that she took all their powers and contained them into four gems-the fire being the strongest since the god of fire was the only one who actually tried to stop the fight. The gods were left feeble and used all the power they had left for good and made Planet Earth where their spirits dissolved with the planet itself. Their spirits roam the earth today and appear wherever they were needed. "
Loki continued, "As there is light, there is also darkness. For the gems held the gods' powers, Tsunami left them with Lokishiro to keep. The line of Lokishiro has always been known to have the great strength to help contain other beings' life-force and such. The great dark forces have despised the reign Tsunami held and the light power Lokishiro had to restrain their darkness, they had heard how the gems held great power that-if combined-could wipe the whole galaxy away. Of course, they wanted it to help them rule over all-including Tsunami, so tricked my father into giving it to them but being the understanding being Tsunami is she gave him a chance to retrieve the gems back."
"The Kuro Quartet was built then with the four beings that supposedly had the blood of the god's powers in their veins and were therefore chosen by the great darkness to have the gems. Masaharu was one of them and had fire in his veins and heart so he had most control in the Quartet, but he didn't want to live that life and decided to help Lokishiro to get back the gems and save the universe from destruction. He came back to earth and met a girl who he married and lived a happy life. As for the gems, Lokishiro brought them back to Tsunami though the dark forces still kept trying to steal them back to use for evil-Tsunami was so upset and used a teardrop that escaped her eye and made it into the necklace of Aretha and used it to limit the power of the gems by splitting them to the four corners of the Earth and leaving the necklace with Lokishiro. Now the gems can't be used until gathered altogether and put into the necklace until their powers can be used-to make it harder, Tsunami sacrificed herself and had her spirit live among the four gems and this made the dark forces want the gems even more because they had believed that when the gems are combined and put into the necklace of Aretha the great Tsunami shall present herself and with hers and the gems powers-grant the wanderer one wish. The three gems were found and the gem of fire was with Masaharu Ishida, Lokishiro-before Tsunami's sacrifice-was entrusted to keep the necklace safe from the darkness since he was the keeper of light and is the only one who can call upon her spirit…In other words, he was like the priest of the gems, you know? Peace was returned among the galaxy again and Lokishiro lived with Masaharu till his great age, when Masaharu's wife died, my father did too which crushed Masaharu's heart and even though he still had his six-year-old son-he completely lost contact of reality. He kept mostly to himself and became so afraid-so fragile. I also lived with the Ishidas so I and helped the two recover, though sadly, Masaharu never got all of his courage back and therefore he lost the power of fire, not to mention losing the gem…it seemed that because of his fear he lost the life of fire in the Ishida blood and was brought down to another person who had a purer, braver heart that can handle that much power."
Mimi just sat there, staring hard at the roof and thinking about everything she had just heard, "Wow, I didn't know so much happened a long time ago-guess I don't have to listen in History anymore since that's really not what happened." She sat up, "Loki-kun, why me? Why did you pick me to be the keeper of light and necklace? Why not Masaharu's son?"
Loki licked his paw, "I tried to give him my remaining power and offered the power of light to him but-it was weird. Somehow his body and life-force won't accept the power I was handing to him. Though it seemed that he possessed a power of his own-something that got passed down from his father and meshed in with his own heart power, I've never seen anything like it! But neither Masaharu nor I know what kind of power that is but I promise you that this boy shall be great help for you since he has great martial arts skill. As for making you the keeper of light, I searched everywhere for the right person that held the kind of life-force Masaharu's son had, and I found you, not only did you meet the requirements but you also had a strong, caring heart that I knew you'd be perfect for the role…"
Mimi crossed her arms, "So what? I'm just some puppet for you?"
"Of course not! I just warn you to watch out…Clef's out there, he's looking for you and since he has the gems all he needs now is the necklace you wear. We must defeat his three elemental warriors to get the gems they posses and combine it with this necklace before it's too late-Ack!"
"Com'ere you!" Mimi grabbed him and nudged him on the head, giggling, "Relax, would ya? No one's gonna die when Lunar Ice is on the case!" she laughed.
"Ouch-hey!-oof!-Mi-mi!" Loki struggled and flew up the roof to get away, he cleared his throat, "This is serious! Pay attention or you could lose your life and others around you as well…You already know Masaharu's purpose in this whole story, he was my father's only friend and alliance but now my father is dead," Loki frowned, "And Masaharu is not as-well, active as he was in his early years and by loosing the gem of fire to Clef he no longer holds any power. I gave you the rest of my powers knowing that you have not only the courage but a great heart to get back the four gems and somehow revive the true power of the gem of Fire that is hidden inside a certain person but I don't know who that is yet but Masaharu's son shall help you find him. Clef might have the gem itself but the power lies inside that chosen one. When you do find him, you must somehow bring out the gem and combine it with the three others to bring out Tsunami."
"Tsunami?" asked Mimi, "We have to bring out a big wave?"
Loki smacked his head, "Baka, she is none other but the most superior being that ever graced the universe. She lies deep within the powers of the gems and when gathered, she is brought out and can grant the most greatest wish any man could ever ask for-for Clef, it is extreme power to rule the galaxy."

Mimi sighed, So typical of Loki to give me riddles. She smiled, Well, whoever that 'chosen' dude is I'll find him-everyone loves Mimi! And as for that arrogant son of Masaharu I just hope he doesn't rain on my glory and take over, though Loki never really got around to telling me what his name is or anything else about him so how the heck am I going to find him? As for that other boy-of course Loki didn't say anything about that either…Though he is cute in that sometimes-you-wanna-kill-him sort of type A smile suddenly crept onto Mimi's face, when I do get the gems I know exactly what I'll wish for-Loki already said I could do that since everything'll be safe-I'm going to wish to be the greatest, most kawaiiest, most loveable, powerful super hero there is! She laughed maniacally to herself causing a few people to stare. Mimi laughed nervously and sat back down just before the teacher came in.
"Okay, couple of announcements today," He said. "There'll be no more fish sticks for lunch anymore-"
"Thank you, thank you," Taichi bowed around the classroom all proud-like. Sora giggled.
The teacher coughed, "I don't even want to know…We got ourselves a transfer student from Morioka visiting us for a while and I would appreciate it if you treat him with the respect you never bothered showing me…his name." He scribbled across the board….'Yamato Ishida'.
As soon as she read the name the door slid opened and what Mimi saw made her gasp. At the door, stood a boy about a year older than her-he had dirty blonde hair that was tamed with gel, clear blue eyes that sparkled with mystery and wonder that sent whispers around the room-mostly from girls. The boy slowly and coolly walked in front of the room and stopped in the middle, his eyes in a deadening glare fixed on a certain honey-headed girl sitting at the back.
"Mi-chan? You okay? Look like you've seen a ghost." Sora asked and poked her friend.
"Class, this is Yamato Ishida. He'll be with us for a while, Yamato-"
"Matt." He cut in.
"Eh, Matt-where shall we seat you…" Mimi shrank as she remembered the empty seat behind her, "Ah, why not behind Mimi Tachikawa. She's the one-"
"I know who she is." The teacher nodded and stared with everyone else as Matt made his way towards the back. He slowly stopped when he came to Mimi's seat, Mimi's eyes were locked onto his glaring blue ones, he looked so much different from the person she saw yesterday-all Mimi could think of was his eyes. Her eyes were widened the moment she remembered what she was doing and who she was looking at and quickly shot up and pointed at him and yelled out.
"You!"
