"A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."
-Groucho Marx
"This is gonna be great!" Exclaimed a certain middle school girl while jumping up into a very familiar pose with her hands in the air n a train to Kyoto. She had dark pink hair with straight bangs, with the back worn in cone-like rolls held with yellow bows. Her current outfit consisted of a white, long sleeved shirt with the only thing irregular about the outfit was the pink tie around her neck. This was Hoshizora Miyuki.
As one could plainly see, Miyuki was very, very excited for the school trip to Kyoto. Finally! She didn't have to deal with the Bad End Kingdom as her alter-ego Cure Happy and could take a break from collecting Cure Decor and fighting those evil Akanbe monsters. The best part was she could spend that break with her closest friends who also happened to be Pretty Cures. This really was gonna be great!
However, her over-excitement caught the attention of her teacher, Horike-sensei who was giving her a disapproving look, "Hoshizora-san, stop going buck wild in the train." She commanded.
Of course, being the good girl she is, Miyuki compiled, "Hai." She responded...though the effectiveness of that was diminished, considering the fact that she still held her pose.
That was when something weird caught her eye.
Outside the window by her seat, a train came passing by the one she was in, too quickly for the others to notice. In addition to that, it seemed to have been in mid-air making its own tracks.
Wait, what?!
To add to the weirdness of the sight, what looked like a purple dragon in the train jumped up and down and waved at Miyuki like some kind of excited kid. Honestly not knowing what else to do at the moment, she waved back with one of her hands in mid-air. One of her friends at her side caught this.
"Um Miyuki, what are you waving at?" Asked the girl the who had short red hair worn in a small ponytail with long bangs on both sides of her face, which held with two yellow hairpins on the right side. She wore her school uniform with a red tie, and a orange sweater tied around her waist. This was Hino Akane.
Miyuki turned and blinked at her red-headed friend in confusion, "That purple thing on the train outside. Don't you see..." The words died in her mouth as soon as she turned back around to see the train was gone, making her blink again. That was a bit cliche, wasn't it?
"Miyuki-san, are you sure you weren't seeing things? Maybe you being a bit too over excited about this." Suggested a calm and elegeant voice of another friend. She had long dark blue hair worn in a princess cut style with small blue clips and eyes the shade of dark blue to go along with it. Her school uniform with a blue tie and a loose pale blue top over it. This was Aoki Reika.
"B-but, I could have sworn that there was a another train! It was just there!"
"I'm afraid I have agree with Reika-san here, I think your just seeing things right now." Agreed another female in a shy tone. Out of all the girls she was the shortest. She has blond shoulder-length hair with straight bangs. The back of her hair curls inwards to frame her head, and is held back with a white headband with orange ornaments at each end with dark yellow eyes to match her hair. She wore her school uniform with a yellow tie and a pale yellow was Kise Yayoi.
"They're right, ya know? It was probably jus your imagination messing with you, it tends to happen. " Said the tallest of all the group of friends. She had dark green hair worn in a ponytail at the top of her head with a yellow bow and bangs parted down the middle. Her eyes were the shade of dark green. Her school uniform with a green tie and a pale green sleeveless pullover. This was Midorikawa Nao who happened to be munching on some sweets at moment.
Knowing it futile to argue with her friends, and also didn't want to get chewed out again by her teacher, Miyuki sighed in utter defeat and flopped on down, back on her chair and rested her cheek on her hand. Maybe they were right, maybe she was seeing things...
'But it was there! It was completely real!' The pink-haired girl thought stubbornly. Just what was that train, and what was that thing in there? And more importantly, where was it heading?
"What could it mean?" Miyuki whispered to herself in a worried tone.

"Ryutaros!" chided Urataros. "What are you doing jumping up and down like that?"
"I saw this strange girl and wanted to say hello, Kame-chan!" Ryutaros replied. "I hope she's also going to Kyoto so I can show her the picture I'm gonna draw for her."
"But you don't have time to be drawing her since you have to prepare those posters for the Aztec play!" Urataros shook his head. "We can't have anything distract us-we have to make sure this plan goes off without a hitch."
"Indeed," said a voice, filled with authority. The voice came from the very back, from a man dressed in a suit and holding a cane who was simply named Owner. He cleared his throat, and all of the noise in the train fell silent. "Everyone," the man continued. "Do we all know why we are gathered here today?"
A hand raised into the air, belonging to a girl with long black hair holding onto a strange toy in the shape of a satellite.
"Yes, Yuki?" asked the person, pointing to the girl raising her hand.
"It's to uncover what the Zodiarts and Ophiuchus want, Owner," Yuki answered. "They seem to be going after the same thing, or perhaps not, and we need to prevent them from causing trouble. At the same time, we need to ensure that no one gets hurt in the crossfire."
"Correct," said Owner, scanning the dining cart of the DenLiner. "Now, do you all remember what you will be doing?"
"All the plans are in here," said Miu, holding onto a black briefcase in hand. "And in here." she tapped the side of her head a few times. "We won't screw this up, Owner...you have my word as the Kamen Rider Club Chairman."
"Very well," said Owner, noticing the other passengers of the DenLiner. There was a middle-aged man slowly sipping coffee, three high school boys in the corner (one of them looking as if he recently got caught in a giant fight), two high school girls sitting next to Yuki, another high school boy who was polishing a gun in his hand, and a male college student next to Miu who was holding her hand. He also noticed Urataros and Ryutaros with three other Imagin—one that looked like a red oni, one that was gold with a horn on his head who had fallen asleep, and the last looking similar to a swan. This little group was Kyoto's, and the world's, defense against a threat that no one else seemed to know of. It was crucial that everyone was working together. If one of them failed, all of them failed.
"Then let us head off!" said Owner. "We have no time to lose if we are going to stop these monsters from destroying the world. Time is of the essence. Riderman and Amazon are already waiting for us, and it is our turn to aid these legendary fighters in what would soon be the world's darkest hour. Let's go."
Everyone nodded their heads as the DenLiner continued toward its destination.

Miyuki had began to wonder around a bit and has admittedly ended up in some kind of alley with no memory on her she got to the area in the first place.
After getting the rules from the teacher, Miyuki decided to do a little exploring of her own. She and her friends decided to go to the Temple of the Golden Pavilion—the first of the many sites they were going to be seeing on the Kyoto trip. However, the pink-haired girl accidentally split off from the others because of the other wonderful sites she had seen nearby. She got side-tracked and then…well, she got lost.
But was it really her fault? If anything, she blames Kyoto for having so many tourist attractions! Damn these wonderful sites for getting her lost!
Speaking of sites, Miyuki's mind has wondered back to that mid-air train she saw back on her own train. Now that was a site to see.
"Still, how come no one else saw it?" The pink eyed girl wondered while still walking aimlessly through the path, without what seemed a care in the world, lost in her own little world.
What a mystery that train with the purple dragon thing was! Even though her friends thought it was just her imagination just toying with her, Miyuki knew better—she read enough fairy tales to know that something like a train with a strange purple dragon riding it was bound to mean something was about to happen. It was there, but it was just too fast for the others to notice it like she did.
Still, what kind of train did that?! She thought she saw everything when she donned the title of the Cure Happy to fight against the Bad End Empire, but hey, the world was still a big place right? This was the same world who believed in aliens, ghosts, and written many stories of whimsical and wonder—surely there were bound to be some strange and unnatural phenomena that couldn't be explained.
But still, what was that train and that purple dragon waving at her? Just what could have it meant? Was it some kind of sign or something? And if it was a sign, was it good or bad?
The middle schooler shook her pink head. She doubted that was the case this time. Though, what kind of situation would have brought on such an abnormal sight?
Miyuki's thoughts caused her to forget about looking in front of her. Which, of course, made a collision between two complete opposites. The collision resulted in surprise for both victims as a double cry of shock was heard from the two of them.
"My donuts!" Exclaiied a male voice, that sounded pretty mad about having his food spilled.
Miyuki stopped herself from falling on her behind and to look up to see the person she bumped into, along with the eight donuts that scattered between the two. He was a teenage boy with light auburn hair. His eyes were were currently downcast at his food on the floor, he was also dressed in a white striped blouse, black jacket, pants and a snake-like bracelet on his right wrist.
Miyuki blushed at the sight of this man. Overall, he was quite…good looking.
Her observation was cut off when the male snapped his head up to look at her directly, causing a chill to shoot down her spine. The auburn haired man had black eyes that seemed…cold and dead. Even with those characteristics, Miyuki could see they held lots of anger and hate for the world, yet they also showed loneliness and pain. To her, this was just tragic for something like this to exist.
Unknown to the secret hero, she was staring down possibly the most dangerous man to live, or in this case, to be brought back to life. This undead teen was no other than Gentaro Kisaragi—otherwise known as the Serpent-bearer and, by one's point of view, Kamen Rider Fourze.
And right now, he was pissed.
Right now, Gentaro was to soon start part one of his plans in Kyoto and needed to get to the rendezvous point in order to meet up with his servants.
But before that could happen, he needed nourishment to help him. Due to the fact that he was 'undead', he needed food in order to ensure he didn't run out of energy for today and tomorrow. Most of the plan involved him fighting a lot, and he knew that he wasn't going to be have time to eat anything else until later tonight due to what was going to happen.
He was doing such a thing with his donuts and was actually enjoying them until some fool make him spill his much needed food. Oh, how he wanted to skin that fool for making him lose something so precious to him.
Gentaro snapped his head up to meet his offender and to be honest, was kind of surprised at he saw.
It was a little girl with curled pink dressed in a middle school uniform with a pink tie. Her dark pink eyes were locked on to his own black ones. What he saw in those eyes made him want to kill the girl even more.
Those innocent eyes held the aura of pure happiness and friendship that were very similar to what Gentaro carried before he died. It made him sick to see such a sight. Hell, the girl's very presence had that aura. The small creature that was in the girl's purse—which looked like a white marshmallow with yellow ram horns (something that irritated him more than ever as it reminded him of the instigator of his death in the first place)-had another feeling that was different to him. Power. Maybe that was it.
The pink haired girl seemed to have regained her barrings and quickly broke the silence between them, "I-I'm so sorry!" She apologized while bowing slightly.
As much as he wanted to out right murder this girl, Gentaro knew there were too many witnesses at the moment and the last thing he needed was to attract attention. With a great amount of will-power, he forced himself to smile.
"It's… okay," Gentaro falsely assured, still with that fake smile plastered on his face, "I'm just disappointed that my snack has been spoiled. I really love sugar donuts, you know."
"I'm so sorry though. Um, here!" said Miyuki, rummaging through her bag. She pulled out a bunch of snacks from her bag and handed them into Gentaro's hands. "Take these. I know they won't make up for the donuts, but at least you won't go hungry..."
Gentaro stared at the girl generously donating her food to him. He wanted to rejected it, but he needed the food. Keeping that fake smile on his face ,he took the snacks and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome!" Miyuki answered back, bringing her hand out. "The name's Miyuki Hoshizora! What's yours?"
Gentaro was hesitant—should he give away his name to a complete stranger? No, that meant being friendly with them, and he was already feeling sick from feeling the aura of friendship and ultra happiness radiating off of this girl. Instead he answered, "Matthew."
"Matthew?" Miyuki repeated.
"I'm from America," Gentaro lied. "I came here to meet up with my family and I need to head off soon." he stood up and began packing away the discarded donuts off of the ground into the fallen pink box. "I am glad that we met up with each other like that."
"Well as long as you're fine," said Miyuki, still sensing the aura around Gentaro, but brushing it off as she started to leave. "I hope you and your family will have a fun time today."
Gentaro waved back and waited until Miyuki was completely gone before he dumped the box of donuts into the nearest trash can, furious that the girl ruined his food supply for the day. The next time he saw that girl, he was definitely going to kill her for what he caused.
Until then, he had to contend with the small snacks she gave him and proceed to the rendezvous point, hoping that things would play out much better than they did just then.

"Where do I go?" said Miyuki, looking around. She tried to retrace her steps from where she meandered about from the Golden Pavilion, but she only caused herself to get even more lost. "What do I do?"
"Excuse me," said a soft voice. "Are you lost?"
Miyuki turned around, seeing a woman sitting behind a table dressed in a grey cloak and golden dangling bracelets on her wrists. the woman's face was obscured by the cloak's hood, and in her hands she was shuffling a deck of tarot cards. The woman smiled and said, "I am Madame Pollux and I decide your fate."
"Eh? You're a fortune-teller?" said Miyuki, going to the woman's side. "So you can tell my fortunes?"
"I decide them, young one," Madame Pollux chuckled, placing her deck on the table and fanning the cards. "Pick one, and let me decide that fate for you."
Miyuki nodded her head as she placed a hand over the deck. She wanted a card that would give her the best of luck...but it was so hard to choose! Feeling her heart pound in her chest, she picked a card in the middle and flipped it over. It showed a king on his throne that was above the raging sea. In his hands was a golden scepter in his let hand, and a goblet on his right. In the background, there was a ship and a dolphin. The card was up.
"Oh, a King of Cups!" said Madame Pollux. "This means despite your energy and happiness, you have an understanding to help others in their times of despair and loneliness. This shows that your talents for helping others will be needed soon."
"Really?" said Miyuki, her eyes wide and sparkling. "That's so cool!"
"I know. And now for my-"
"Ah! I have to get going and tell the others!" Miyuki bowered toward Madame Pollux. "Sorry about that, but I need to get going. Bye then!"
"...payment." Madame Pollux whispered, seeing the magenta-haired girl rush off like that. She stared at the girl disappearing in the distance before going back to the card. She placed it back into her deck and shuffled it once more, picking up another card. It depicted a blind woman with two swords crossed over her shoulders. Behind her were rocks jutting out of the sea and a new moon shining down on her. The card was upside down, with the woman's head facing the crowd.
"An inverted Two of Swords," Madame Pollux murmured. "Even if that girl is willing to have such a fine day, danger lurks around the corner. A strange tale has been woven...and I fear that bad and dangerous things will transpire in such a short time. Just like the swords are crossed over her shoulders, swords will clash and sparks will fly. Today will be the start of a very dark time."
