I hate making you guys wait! Please, excuse my absentness, maybe I can do the chapters on weekends since school is now a part of my life again.

Well here's the next chapter, chapter 4. I swear my head is so hollow right now but the thoughts are still coming. I have to thank sWeetsWeetSnoW for the idea she gave me for the pendant. That is going to really help me with sorting out all the rest of the Chapters, starting with this one.

Otaku-kun or as I think I should address her as Otaku-sensei (because she always corrects my writing) thanks for the corrections!

Go check out sWeetsWeetSnoW and Otaku-kun's bio and site. Just look for them under my Fav. Author list and click the link.

AAAHHHHH! I took too much time, I can't let my lil' sis' see this! Let's just start the show.

Chapter 4: Preparations

Four days had past and it's now Friday. The girls were officially wiped out from shopping and hanging out so much. Behind Emi's back, the rest of the girls tried to get a present and get some other things that would be a surprise for her. Amaya, most of the time, had to occupy Emi long enough for her to not notice where the other two girls were.

Now it was soon time for the party to be set up at Helena's mansion (her parents are rich). So for almost the day, Helena and Cleo were decorating and setting the ball room up while Amaya called the DJ and the rest of the essentials at her house; as a favor from Helena for the party. They wanted to surprise Emi at least a little bit.

Emi was just finishing up with cleaning the house and was off to the bathroom for a nice long bath before the party. While this was happening, Amaya was now calling Helena to see if she was also done.

"Ok, I had set up everything you had told me to put in the party. How are things over at the Mansion? Are you done yet?" Amaya asked.

"Ok, were close to finishing the decorations. Man, I never knew it would take this long to prepare everything." Helena said.

"Who are you going to invite?" Amaya then asked.

"Everyone's invited!"

"Everyone is invited! You mean even people that we don't know! What about your body guards?"

"Don't worry, I told them they can have the day off. They don't mind, plus my parents are still in their vacation and they already approved of the party."

"Alright, what ever you say Helena. I hope this turns out great for Emi."

"It's going to be one heck of a night!"

"Sure sounds like it…I wonder if I could invite my sister…?"

"Invite you're sister? Oh, you mean the one with sky blue hair and pink eyes? That was you're sister!"

"Yea, but maybe she's busy again…she's always busy… "

"Well, try it one more time. I don't think that she has meet Emi, has she?"

"No, after all, Emi and I were beginning to be friends when my sister came for a short visit."

(A loud crash and a scream comes from the background) "Cleo! I have to go help Cleo; we'll talk more later on. Try to bring your sister, ok?"

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye!"

Amaya hung up the phone but her hand stayed on it. She was looking at it in deep thought. I don't know if I should call her. I might bother her. Then again, it is for Emi; and plus she should take a time off of that mysterious job of hers. Amaya picked up the phone again and dialed her sister's number. She looked up at the window where the sky was soon turning noon. She smiled as soon as she heard somebody answered the phone.

Meanwhile…

At Emi's house, Emi was deep in thought while inside of her tub. I wonder why I haven't dreamt anything else since that dream…She soon remembers the man that had saved her inside of the dream and smiles a bit. Kurama…wow …he saved my life from a monster. A cute guy saved my life…She feels her blush and shakes her head back and forth violently; snapping out of her day dream.

"What am I thinking! It was just a dream! That won't ever happen. You're an idiot for falling for a dream, Emi." She then slouched in the bubbles, feeling confused. Instead of feeling relaxed she felt uncomfortable. She pouted, that danm dream won't stop bugging me!

At Amaya's house…

"Hello, this is Botan speaking"

"Hello Botan! It's me, Amaya!"

"Amaya! It's so good to hear from you! How have you been?

"I should be the one asking that my dear sister. You hadn't called or visited me since three years!"

"Sorry little sister, I got carried away from my job. You always had good timing because I don't have to work for this whole month. So now I can make it up to you."

"That timing thing must run in the family because I know the perfect way for you to make it up for me!"

"…I don't like the sound of that…"

Amaya smiled over the phone.

"Don't worry; it's not like that at all. My friends and I are making a 'good bye' party for our best friend, Emi. She's going to Japan and we wanted to make it up to her…"

"Everyone's invited and plus, you can met Emi! It would be nice for you to come to it. So what do you think?"

"A party…and every ones invited? Well, alright. I think it's good that you're doing this for your friend. I can invite someone, too, can I?"

"Yes, you can. Who did you have in mind?"

"It's just a co-worker of mine, a friend. I'll only bring one if that's ok with you?"

"Oh absolutely, if you were right beside me right now I would just hug you!"

"I'm sure glad im not over there with you!"

The two siblings laughed. Never in three years having to be so happy together. As they stoped laughing they continued off to the good byes.

"At what time is the party?"

"It's at 7 pm."

"Then i'll come one hour early, ok"

"Ok, oh and sis'…I'm going with Emi so-"

"It's ok, I don't mind at all. You may go with her but under one condition…don't get into trouble"

"You know I don't get into trouble...Thanks, big sister…"

"Well I have to get ready, see you at you're house."

"Right, bye"

"Bye"

Amaya hung up and started to prepare her self for the party. She was so excited she nearly broke the roof for jumping up so high. It's going to be one spectacular night!

At Emi's house…

"I can't possibly be in love can I?" She asked her self now deciding to leave her bath and start preparing her self for the party. As soon as she sat up in the tub she felt something strange that she never felt before. It was like sensing something…at the same time hearing your own pulse.

Her eyes soon grew dim as if hypnotized. She felt her self fall into a dark abyss. She was floating into darkness. As she mindlessly looked down she saw something shinning at the bottom. Just as she reached the bottom it stoped shinning. She was now standing on shallow black waters, and was still looking down at the thing that was shinning a moment ago.

In the black shallow water, there was a pendent that looked old. The pendent had a blue jewel in the middle and around it was black. Inside the jewel was a faint appearance of a golden rose but it was covered in darkness. When it started to beat, ripples were starting to form around the pendent. The pendent then glowed and out of nowhere it said a name…EMI.
