Hello all those kind readers just stating a few things before you start reading. First this story is following the anime only and takes place before Ren has his battle with Yoh for the preliminaries. Also I will have links to pictures in my profile to this story; the OC's dress is there now. Finally be kind with the reviews and helpful tips are appreciated. Now enjoy.

A dark night in the city of Tokyo, most were at home in their beds except for one boy jogging in the streets. Ren Tao was finishing up his daily training for the Shaman Tournament with a late night jog. He enjoyed the silence of the noisy day when girls would usually gawk at him running without a shirt. Next to him floated a crimson orb with a helmet.

"Master should we return to the hotel now" The orb suggested

"Now why should I do that, Bason" Ren asked annoyed that his silence was disturbed

"Because Jun will send out a search party if we don't return soon master" Bason pointed out. Ren sighed and looked at his spirit.

"Very well Bason, let's go" He said turning around to jog back to the hotel, however just as he turned he collided with something. He stumbled a bit but the thing fell to the ground. In the darkness of the night it was difficult to make out what it was, but he could roughly tell that it was a person.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING" He shouted

"I'm sorry" The figure whispered attempting to stand. The figure managed to get on its feet and kept its head bowed before crumbling to the ground.

"Well you should be" Ren said before stepping over the person and continuing to walk away, before he heard a terrible cough coming from it. Soon several more followed. Ren slapped his forehead.

"Damn it" he cursed as he turned back to the figure. He scooped the person up bridal style and continued down the street back to his hotel.

At the hotel:

Ren finally arrived to the private floor of the hotel he owned. He stepped out of the elevator and walked over to the couch and set the figure down. Then he walked over to the lamp and turned it on, finally he was able to see the mysterious figure. It was a beaten young girl; she was covered in cuts and bruises. Ren went into the Kitchen and grabbed a first aid kit and kneeled down in front of the girl. He applied antiseptic to the cuts before bandaging them.

"Though she is badly beaten she is rather pretty, isn't she master" Bason stated floating next to Ren. He actually didn't look at the girls features at first, but now he has and she is pretty. She was a small girl with snow white skin and a pixie blonde hairstyle. She wore a navy sailor style dress which travel down to her knees and white tights, both which were tattered and had covered in blood. She wore a black pair of mary janes on her feet.

"Well she isn't the ugliest girl I've ever seen" he said not wanting to admit how attractive she truly was.

"I wonder how she became so injured" Bason pondered

"We won't know until she awakens" Ren said as he sat down in a chair next to the couch

"Master wouldn't it be best to retire to your room for the evening" Bason suggested

"Now Bason does it makes sense for a person to leave a stranger completely alone while they go to their room to sleep" Ren pointed out

"I guess it doesn't makes sense" Bason said disappointedly

"Exactly, now shut up and let me sleep" Ren commanded and turned off the light and fell asleep.
