Fire Bird's Tears
By: DarkFirePanther
Chapter 1: Long Forgotten
The moon was full on a cold December night. A beautiful young lady is taking a walk in the park, waiting for an answer to her prayer. She wore a beautiful dark red velvet dress that was about 4 inches above her knees. She sighed as she looked at the watch on her hand. She looked up at the sky with mourning and a tear ran down her cheek.
"I knew he couldn't keep a promise! It's been five hours! He knew this day was important!" Raye yelled.
Then, a hand touched her shoulder. She turned around and flung the man over her head and slammed him on the ground. Then she realized who it was.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry Jedeite! I thought you were an enemy!" Raye gasped, kneeling down to Jadeite's side.
"...It's ok. I deserved that." Jedeite replied, trying to sit up.
"No shit! You're five hours late, Jedeite!"
"I was in my car and on my way, but my car blew up and then I got lost and didn't know where to go! I ran as fast as I could, but then I was attacked by ninjas and they nearly killed me, but I found a rock on the ground and used it like a boomerang and threw it and it hit all of them! Then I was attacked by some giant garble and-."
"Jedeite, shut up! And you couldn't even fight a regular sized garble! You're a very bad liar! Just admit it! You can never keep a promise! Damnit Jedeite! It's my birthday! You're the only one that could come, so I told you to come to the park. You have no idea how much this hurts." Raye began to cry and turned her head toward the ground so Jedeite couldn't see the tears.
"Will this help?" Jedeite asked, handing her a small box with a ribbon that was made of a rose stem and peddles. Raye looked at it and looked at Jedeite with confusion. She looked back at the box and carefully began to take off the ribbon. She opened the lid and found inside was a beautiful necklace. The chain was a beautiful silver that glistened in the moonlight. But the part that caught her attention was the main part. It was a bronze ring like object with a sterling silver fire in the middle, lined with gold. On the bottom of the ring hung different lengths of sterling silver string like things and a small gold ball on the bottom of each string. Raye dropped the necklace on the ground and had a face that showed fear and confusion. She completely lost thought of Jedeite and got lost in her thoughts.
~*~*~*~*~
**On a cool December night, in the gardens of the moon kingdom, Raye was running through the flowers and laughing. She ran to the fields of wild flowers and lay down on a soft bank by a soft flowing stream. Then, she heard soft sweat laughter beside her. She looked up and saw her lover. He looked down at her with a smile as warming as the summer sun. She smiled back and began to giggle.
"So.you didn't want to dance at the ball either?" Raye said, standing up.
"Not if you're not dancing by my side." He replied. "I got you something."
Then, he gave Raye a necklace with a ring. It touched her. She looked up at him and leaned toward his lips.
He kneeled down and looked up at Raye. Then, he put on his worry face that started to worry Raye.
"Raye Hino.Will you marry me?" He asked, holding her hand gently.
".You know I would! Yes, yes! I will! I want to stay by your side forever! I love you."
Then, a loud scream filled the silent air as they were leaning closer to each other. They both looked over at the castle and Raye's beloved looked at her, nodded, and then dashed off to the castle.
"NO! Don't go! Don't leave me! MARS POWER!!!" **
~*~*~*~*~
Raye then came back to the world around her and at first didn't know where she was.
"I'm sorry, Jedeite. I can't accept it. It's too much! It's just too much!" Raye yelled, running away and toward the temple.
Jedeite looked at the necklace and then looked in the direction Raye ran, wondering if he really blew it that time.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
When Raye walked into the temple door, she starred into space for a few minutes before looking up at the ceiling. She didn't know why she dropped the necklace. She didn't want to! Jedeite was being really sweet. He gave her a sterling silver necklace! What could be better than real jewelry?! She was being a real bitch.
"Why can't I for once be serious with Jedeite, instead of getting mad at him or being disrespectful?" Raye asked herself.
She walked outside and looked at the sky that sparkled like a black blanket of beautiful silver crystals. She felt like crying. She wanted to let all the misery out. She despised the feeling that she hurt Jedeite. She just wanted to die.
"Are you ok?" A voice asked.
"Who's there?" Raye asked, looking behind her.
"It's me. Look, I'm sorry about the necklace Raye. I just thought it would be a great gift. I saw a drawing of it in your dorm. You drew it, didn't you?" Jedeite asked.
"Ya. It's a long story."
"Well, I looked at it for a while and I went to the jewelry store the next day, looking for a nice necklace for your B-day, and I saw the exact necklace in a special case. The lady at the cash register said it is a rare peace. She said it was a necklace in a legend her grandmother used to tell her when she was a girl. A princess on the beautiful planet, Mars. It was supposed to be an engagement necklace, but her prince never returned after fighting to save her and their future together. She said she made it for a special day that a man would someday come and buy this necklace for his lady to form eternal love and cherish that connection for eternity and longer after that. It made me think of you." Jedeite looked down at Raye and they smiled at each other.
"I'm really sorry, Jedeite. But I can't accept it. Please understand. It's personal." Raye said, about to cry again, but trying her hardest to hold it in.
"Um.it's ok Raye. But.well." Jedeite's words trailed off.
"I'm gonna head back home. I have to finish my homework. Plus, I think Serena's gonna be mad if I don't make something good for dinner. She's such a spaz! Raye said, helping him out.
"Ok. See you later then?"
"Sure Jedeite. As long as you don't talk about the necklace, ok?"
"Ok. It's a deal." Raye smiled at Jedeite and started walking to Tokyo University, where she now went to college.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
When Raye walked in her dorm, she heard a giggle in the dark room. She turned on the lights and Serena, Mina, Lita, Amy, and all the outers jumped out and yelled "Happy 17th Birthday Raye!!!"
"Hey guys! Wow! You did all this? Thanks!" Raye said, looking at all the red, green, blue, pink, and orange balloons and streamers all over the room.
"Actually, I did everything. Everyone else just ate the food!" Lita yelled.
"Um, guys. Where's the cake?" Raye asked, looking around the room.
"Mina! You forgot the cake?!" Serena asked.
"Well, I was on my way, but I guess I passed the arcade and-"
"Would you all just shut up?!" Raye yelled. Suddenly, everyone stopped.
Raye sighed deeply and looked down at the carpeted floor. It had never looked so dark and gloomy before. When she looked at it everyday since last year, she always thought it was calming and a beautiful shade of black and red. But now it seemed to haunt her. It looked right back, like it was alive. Raye lost her concentration.
"Raye, are you ok?" Lita asked, waving her hand in front of Raye's face.
"Ya, I think we should do this another time, ok?" They all looked puzzled. They knew something was wrong, but just couldn't make it out. Then Serena finally broke the silence.
"Look Raye. It's your birthday! Therefore, we celebrate it today!"
"Serena, go home!" Raye demanded, glaring at her, then at the rest of the group.
They all walked to the front door and left. The door shut and Raye could hear them talking as they walked down the street.
Then, there was a small gust of wind. But the only strange part was that it was coming from inside the temple. Raye turned around to see an open window. She knew too many people who liked mysteriously coming into a building through a window. She walked over to it, looking around, expecting Darien to jump out of now where. When she reached the window, she shut it and exhaled, as if she were worried about something.
Then, a hand fell upon her shoulder, sending chills up her pine. She turned around to find an old friend.or should I say, foe.
