Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain, or Rayearth. In case your wondering, I used characters from the shows. Hikaru (Rayearth) and Chezza (Wolf's Rain). There, I said it. Evil lawyers...

Hikaru flipped off the beam and landed evenly on her feet. Her long, red hair followed her every move. She did three back-flips and started walking on her hands. She made her way across the gym while doing several other tricks. Her spectators gazed in awe. As she finalized her audition, she jumped in the air, twisted many times, and landed gracefully on the soles of her feet. Everyone stood and clapped while the judges picked their choice. All of them chose a perfect 10. She thanked everyone and ran out of the gym, the audience still clapping.

Hikaru arrived home panting. Her mom stood over her. "Where have you been? It's almost supper, and you've still got to change for the dinner tonight!" Hikaru sighed. This was their third dinner this week. And it was only Wednesday! "Mom, I went to gymnastics practice. We still have two hours, and I don't eat very much. So stop worrying!" Her mom's face softened. "I'm sorry, honey. It's just that this time, we have the King and Queen of England coming with their son, Alexander." Hikaru froze in place. "Alex? Oh no, not that horrible beast." Her mom laughed. "Yes, I know he is spoiled, but inside, he might be a nice boy."

'Yea, as nice as a rat's ass.' "I'll think about it while I get changed, okay?" Without waiting for an answer, she bounded up the stairs and found her red dress. It was a beautiful dress, with a matching necklace. "I'm so glad this necklace came with it, this thing has a low neckline." She stripped and stepped into the shower. She let the cold water rush over her body and hair. A few minutes later, she came out refreshed. She toweled off and slipped the dress on. She grabbed the necklace and went downstairs. She found her three older brothers in their tuxedos, waiting for her.

Her oldest brother, Kororo, saw her and sneered. "Oh look. The Gym Queen has graced us with her presence. Oh my! The tomboy is wearing a dress!" Hikaru threw him a dirty look. "I can still kill people in this dress. I've done it before." Kororo only smirked. The youngest of the three, Lucas, spoke up. "Do you need help with your necklace?" Hikaru smiled at him. "Yes, thank you, Lucas." As Hikaru glided past Kororo, she kicked him where the sun don't shine, making him fall to the ground like a rock. She smiled again because she was wearing high-heels.

Lucas clipped her necklace, then stepped back into the little line the boys formed. Hidalgo, the middle boy, couldn't speak. Alex made fun of him for that. He said, "Hikaru, Kororo deserved that!" Hikaru spoke back in sign language, "Thank you, Hidalgo. I wish you could speak. You'd really—" She cut herself off.

'Maybe...'

"Hey, Kororo, do you know if Alex knows sign language?" Kororo groaned. "To hell if I know." Hikaru turned to Lucas. "Do you know?" Lucas nodded. "He doesn't. I'll be surprised if he even knew what it was." Hikaru and Hidalgo smiled evilly. "You thinking, what I'm thinking?" Hidalgo nodded. Kororo and Lucas got it too. If they all had one thing in common, it was that they all hated Alex. "Kids, time to go! And why are you all grinning evilly?"

Hikaru hurried everyone to the car and climbed in the front seat. "Mom, can I drive?" Her mom smiled and shook her head. "Maybe next time, Hikaru." The car pulled up to the house they were having dinner at. The place was crawling with Poperazzi already. Hikaru spied her friend, Chezza. Her mom parked and everyone ran out to meet their friends. Hikaru came to Chezza and started conversation.

Chezza had short pink hair and was wearing a pink dress. In fact, it was the same dress as Hikaru, except it was pink. "You dyed your hair. And you're wearing contacts. I never thought you would take pink to the extreme." Chezza smiled. "This one likes pink." Alex passed by and winked at Hikaru. She flicked him off. Chezza sighed. "This one also wishes that she was marrying Alex." Hikaru stared at her best friend. "I still can't believe you like that guy." Hikaru waved her hand in front of Chezza's face. She snapped back to reality.

A FEW HOURS LATER

A slow song played on the loud speakers. Alex came to Hikaru. "Wanna dance?" Hikaru looked him over. His blond hair was slicked back and he was wearing a dark blue tuxedo. "No. But I will if I'm forced." Alex's eyes darkened. He took her hand anyway and pushed her onto the dance floor. "Look," he whispered, "I don't want to get married, especially to you, but I'm not being bitchy about it." Hikaru smiled to herself. "I know someone who wants to marry you." She felt a change in Alex's emotions, and she knew she hit a nerve. "Who?"

"I'm not telling. Besides, why would I tell you? This is your secret admirer I'm talking about." She felt Alex's hand go to her waist and around her stomach. "Tell me. Now!" Hikaru gasped in pain. "Fine," his hand softened their grip, "it's one of my friends. She is at this dance. She was with me earlier. That should give you a clue." Alex stopped dancing and held her face in his hands. "Chezza?" he whispered. Hikaru nodded. "Thank you, Lord." He let go and went over to the pink girl. Hikaru saw him bow to her, and Chezza turned as pink as her dress. 'Go Chezza! Alex can sure be a gentleman when he wants to.'

Hikaru went over to Hidalgo and explained what happened. "So, Plan A is demolished?" "For now. I don't want to embarrass him in front of my friend. Especially if she knows I'm behind it." Hidalgo and Hikaru talked for a while, then she moved on to Kororo and Lucas. Each time, she said the same thing. The party/dinner ended an hour later. Hikaru saw Alex confront his mom, and his mom going insane about his choice. Hikaru giggled to herself.

She walked out and almost tripped on a huge rock. She picked it up and studied it. 'It looks like a big pink rock. I should give this to Chezza. She loves pink.' She shrugged and put it in her pocket. She climbed in her mom's car and they were off. It was raining and the car hit a slick edge. The car went flying through the air and hit a well. A door opened and the whole family fell in it.

THE NEXT MORNING

Police cars crowded the scene and a tow-truck lifted the car out of the well. An ambulance helped the family out of the well. "Where's Hikaru? Where's my bratty little sis?" Kororo asked. He was delirious from all the action. Luca's mom clutched to his arm. He tried to pry her off while he talked to the police. "I understand you had a little sister, where do you think she is?" Lucas shrugged. Which was hard because his mom was on his arm. "She had a lot of friends, but al of her friends live at least 4 miles away. I mean, she can walk that far, but if she had any injuries..." Lucas tried again to take his mom off. He succeeded and gave her to Kororo. Hidalgo looked in the well, and saw Hikaru's headband. He motioned to Lucas, and when he saw it, he called the police to get the dogs and see if they could find anything.

Hikaru opened her eyes to the top of a hut. 'This sure isn't my way of livin', that's for sure.' She tried to get up, and found that she had bandages around her wait and head. A girl walked in. "You should stay here and rest. Do not get up until I come back. And don't open the hut flaps. It will let your scent get to the demons, and you will be helpless against them." With that, she left the hut. "Demons...?" Hikaru waited a while, then the girl came back. She was carrying some herbs and a small cup. Hikaru saw her grind the plants into the cup and mix in some water. "Here. Drink this, and you will feel better in minutes." Hikaru slowly pulled the cup to her mouth. It tasted sweet, like the cook's cotton candy. 'I wonder if this girl found the plant made for cotton candy... hmmm...'

Hikaru set the cup down. "Thank you very much, but I must find my family before they start to worry. They might be worrying now." The girl who nursed her apologized and introduced herself as Rin. She had a kimono on and had a hairstyle like a five-year-old. But she had the skill of a trained professional. "I don't know your name yet. Please tell me." Hikaru told her story and when she told her about crashing the car, Rin's face twisted. "A... car?" Hikaru asked her what year it was. "Oh, I don't know. But you could ask Sesshomaru-sama. He might know!" Rin picked her up. Hikaru was surprised at her strength. "Let's go!" Rin hopped out of the hut and bounded from tree to tree.

Is it good? Bad? TELL ME!!!!! Anyway, my last story sucked, so i took it off. Hopefullt, this one'll be better. I spent more time on it...
