A shadowed figure watched the girl walk home from the little café and followed her. Her beautiful brown hair was weaved into a French braid, small wisps escaping the rope. Men looked at her from on the street and women whispered about her. The figure looked at the men in jealousy. 'Soon you will come back, princess.' He thought angrily and jumped down into an alley.

Mary Kallinne looked around the graveyard sadly. "Lita, why does he still hurt you, from beyond the grave?" Dust kicked up around James Opel's grave. Mary looked down at it and kicked the ground it swirled from. "So you're back." She hissed angrily.

Raye Hino walked up her hill, singing softly and happily.

"Raye, where have you been?" A short bald man walked up angrily. He tossed his strange looking cape.

"Grandpa, take that silly thing off." Raye reprimanded.

"Never!" the old man said, running off and jumping onto the gate to the temple.

"Grandpa, please."

"Fine." The old man unfastened the cape and let it fall to the ground. "This better be good."

"I went to the café to get some coffee and guess who was there?"

"Who?" the man said, interested now.

"Lita Kino!"

"Never heard…wait. Lita Kino? The chef Lita Kino?"

Raye smiled smugly. "The one and only."

"Wow!" the old man jumped with joy. "Raye is friends with a celebrity, Raye is friends with a celebrity…" he chanted as he walked back in the temple. Raye sighed and looked at the sky. It was going to rain. She sighed and followed her grandpa inside.

Hey minna! I hope you are liking my story, ne? Sorry this chapter was so short, but the Lita ones are always longer, and unless these characters have much to say (which, I guarentee you, they probably won't in the first few chapters) or new characters are added (*laughs evilly*) this will be short. Thanks!

Love Always,

Magellan Princess
