This I can probably say will also be on irregular updates until I get internet. I got the laptop but no internet. Anyway please enjoy and be sure to review to give your thoughts.

Interlude One: Rei

Rei sat sipping a small cup of tea. In front of her a lotus flower—fully bloomed—projected an image. Lord Death sat within his respectful domain, sipping a cup of tea. Everything was silent between them and precious minutes ticked by.

Rei was the image of nervousness. She worried her bottom lip and repeatedly sat her tea cup down only to bring it back to her lips moments later. She wished Lord Death would just tell her the news, just to get it over with. She really needed to know!

"I don't see why it would present a problem." Death suddenly announced. He looked into his mirror at the startled girl in front of him. "Welcome to the DWMA."

Her tea cup slipped beneath her suddenly shaking hands and dropped to the floor, shattering into pieces. Golden liquid pooled on the wooden floor. She hadn't…she had hoped but….jumping from her seat Rei bowed respectfully. "Thank you! You won't be disappointed Lord Death!"

Death nodded his head and sounding pleased, he spoke. "I'm sure you'll do an exceptional job." Setting his tea cup down he continued. "You must arrive at the academy in three days' time. You will receive your schedule soon.

Rei nodded. After saying their goodbyes the connection closed, the lotus flower closing its petals. Picking it up Rei placed it on her head. The petals slowly flattened out and, vines sprouting and entwining within her loose hair.

She had done it! She had convinced Lord Death to allow her into the academy. Grinning widely she began to clean up the broken tea cup. This was so exciting!
