Okay, something I forgot to add in the first posting of this semi-fanfic. I do not own any
characters in this story, none at all. At least I don't think I do, and if I do, that doesn't matter.
Also a side note: The characters may(probably) have different personalities, characteristics and
appearences, among other things in this story, so don't get too hysterical.
The Ring of Light: Part two
Aya and Toya are driving down the road in Toya's car. "What is going on and where are
you taking me?"She asks. Toya says. "We needed to get away from that guy outside." "You
mean Kusinagi? That is what you called him, right? Why did we have to get away from him, is
he dangerous?" She asks. "Kusinagi works for Ultimecia. He is our enemy as well." He answers.
Aya questions Toya again. "So, what exactly is my part in this power struggle?" "You are to keep
your ring and never give it to the enemy. When, or if your powers ever grow you would help us
look for and defeat Ultimecia. . . Unless you don't want anything to do with this operation. If so,
you could give the ring to me." He says. "It doesn't seem as if I would be that much help, but I
feel I should do what I can." Aya tells him. She looks out of her window wonderingly and notices
that the surroundings flying look familiar. "We are driving toward my house."She thinks. "Um,
Toya, you can let me out here. I can walk the rest of the way home." Toya asks. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I can take care of myself."Aya says jokingly. Toya stops the car, and Aya gets
out."I'll see you again." Toya says before he pulls away and starts off down the road. Aya waves
and waits until he is well out of sight, then turns toward the trail to her house. "Maybe I should
have asked him to walk me home, who knows what's out there?" She says to herself. "No, I can
take care of myself." She hears a twig snap behind her and dashes homeward, as a small kitten
emerges from a nearby bush.
Aya slides the door closed behind her as she rushes into her home. Huffing and out of
breath she calls, "Mom, I'm home!"while slipping off her shoes and slipping on her slippers.
"Sorry I'm late. I, um," "Oh my gosh! I can't tell her I got detention, what do I say!" She thinks.
"I stayed after school with a friend for a while, and uh . . . missed the bus, so I uh . . . had to walk
home." She lies. Aya's mom slides out of the hall saying "A friend? This wouldn't happen to be
a boy, now would it?" Aya replies "No, mom, her name is . . . um . . . " She ponders for a few
seconds. Aya's mother starts to question the truthfulness of her daughter's excuse when Aya says
"Hikaru! That's it!" Aya starts to laugh. "I can't believe I forgot her name! I mean, she's in my
gym class, and a very competitive player. I don't know how I forgot her name." Aya realizes she
might be going a bit far with her white lie. "Anyway what have you been doing all day?" She
asks. Aya's mother looks surprised at the question. "What have I been doing all day? Don't tell
me you forgot." Aya is silent. "Your birthday is in three days Aya! Your trying to tell me you
forgot about your own birthday!" she looks at her daughter very surprisedly. Aya suddenly
remembers. "Grandmother!" "Yes, grandmother. She was going to come over today. And
because she can't stand a dirty house, I've been cleaning all day!" Her mother yells. Aya shrinks
under the tone and volume of her mothers voice. "Oh, and your grand mother is already here.
She's waiting in the dining room." Aya's mother points to the hall she had come from, suddenly
a lot calmer. "Mom, I'm so sorry, I've been forgetting things a lot lately. I'll go see grandmother
right now." Aya says rather regretfully. "Good, but I'm coming with you. I don't know what the
gift is yet!" Aya's mother says much more cheery than before.
Aya and her mother walk into the dinning room. Aya's grandmother says "Hello, Aya,
how have you been?" "Fine, how about you?" Aya asks. "I've been doing well . . . So, it will be
your sixteenth birthday in a few days. This is for you." Aya's grandmother says as she pushes a
wrapped bundle across the table to Aya. Aya pulls the package closer and slowly unties the bow,
and then neatly unfolds the wrapping. Her mother, rather impatient, waits for her to unwrap the
gift while tapping her fingers. Aya unfolds the last fold and pulls out a light weight, white
kimono with a black bow. Aya says to herself. "A kimono?"She turns the kimono over in her
hands and notices little silver wings embroidered on the back. "Grandmother, why are there
wings on the back?" "Well, I'm not sure. This is a very old kimono. It has been in the family for
generations" Aya's grandmother says. "If it's been in the family for so long, why was it never
passed down to me?" Aya's mother says to herself, then she points. "Aya there is another
package." She points to a very small parcel within the wrinkles of the gift wrapping. Aya picks
up the small package and unwraps it much slower than the first while thinking. "What could this
be?" Aya opens it and a beautiful clear stone that looks as if a rainbow is captured within on a
silver chain spills out. Aya and her mother gasp with widened eyes. Aya's grandmother smiles. "I
guess you like it." Aya jumps up and gives her grandmother a huge hug. "Like it! Are you
kidding it's the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen," She release her grandmother. "Was this
my ancestors', too?" Aya's grandmother still smiling energetically because of Aya's reaction
says "Yes, I believe so. It is about as old as the kimono, if not older." Aya's grandmothers smile
fades a bit as she sighs. "Well, I must be going now. I have to get back to the temple. We've
been extra busy with all the young people visiting just so they can pick up a few of those luck
charms. Aya, didn't your friend Ryoko invite you to come to the temple tomorrow after school?
We could use the help." Aya remembers Ryoko asking her to go with her. "Yes, she did. I'll see
you there tomorrow." Aya's grandmother leaves.
Aya walks out of the bathroom in a towel and calls downstairs, "Good night, mom." Then
walks down the hall into her room and shuts the door. She turns around to see a silhouette framed
by the light spilling in through her window on her bed. She flips the switch on her wall to
enlighten the room thus revealing Hikaru sitting on her bed. "Hikaru, what are you doing in my
room?" Hikaru stands and sees that Aya is in a towel. "Oh, it seems as if I've caught you at a bad
time." Aya still unbelieving and clutching her towel. "What do you mean?! How did you get in
my room?" Hikaru a bit embarrassed and yet amused, says, "I'm sorry for the intrusion, but Toya
has called a meeting, and he would like you to come. He actually intended to collect you himself,
but we thought it would be better if one of us girls come up instead. Oh, and I got in through the
window." She gestures to the slightly open window. Aya is silent. "So then are you coming or
not?" Hikaru asks. "You are involved in this, too?" Aya says, then blushes. "And did you say
Toya was going to come up here, in my room?!" Hikaru says, "Yup, wouldn't that have been
embarrassing? Aren't you glad he didn't? So, what is your answer, are you coming?" Aya says,
"Um, well, I would like to know more about this. I suppose I'll go. Just let me get dressed and
tell my mom." "I would advise you not to get your mother involved." Hikaru says with a serious
tone in her voice. While slipping on some clothes behind a folding screen Aya says, "I can't just
leave?" Hikaru sounding very serious, "Of course you can. All you have to do is quietly jump out
of the window. Your mom will never know!" Aya comes out from behind the screen fully
dressed. "But . . . " Hikaru interrupts extremely serious. "Trust me, Aya. The situation will be a
lot better if your mother doesn't know about this. She could get hurt . . . or worse. Do you want
to lose your mom?!" "NO! Of course not . . . " Aya puts on her new ring and necklace. "I
suppose we should be going now." Hikaru, calming down, says, "We've been keeping everyone
waiting. We're going to the school, that's where we are to meet." Hikaru jumps out of the
window. Aya walks to the window. "It looks kind of high." "Don't worry, it isn't as high as you
think." Hikaru assures her. Aya sums up her courage and jumps.
