Tenshi: Hello! This is my first fanfic that includes one of my characters that are incorporated in other stories. I'm talking about Professor Wildfire from Lae Bevin's stories. If you don't know Lae Bevin, I recommend you go and check her stories out. Anyways, please review my story after you finish because I really need to know what you think. Thank you!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that came from the Harry Potter world. Only the genius mind of JK Rowling could have ever come up with ideas as imaginative as that. All those characters that you don't recognize from Rowling's world (like Koren Agape), belongs to me and my friends (Lae Bevin being one of them).

"Good morning Kineta-san," Kei said bowing to the former prefect.
"Good morning Keiadara. What are you doing here?" Kineta asked.
"I just wanted to visit Koren, if it's not any trouble with you," Kei said smiling.
"Of course I don't mind. Come in," Kineta said moving to let Kei pass.
"Where is she? Is she doing ok?" Kei asked.
"Ah…yes…that. You see, she's at another place. My family learned of what happened and put a curse that forbids little Koren to see me," Kineta said bowing her head down in sadness.
"Poor little Koren. Where is she?" Kei said.
"She's hidden right now somewhere in a meadow in the forest," Kineta said.
"I'll go there now and send her your greetings," Kei said bowing in front of Kineta and turning to leave.

"Hello Koren. I'm Keiadara Wildfire but you can call me Kei or Wildfire," Kei said to a little 3-yr old kid.
Koren nodded and looked blankly at Kei.
"I'm sorry that it's late but here's a birthday gift for you. I really had to finish the school year before I could have time to visit you," Kei said smiling at Koren.
"It's ok. Thank you," Koren said with no emotions.
"Open it then," Kei said.
Koren proceeded to open the long and partially think box revealing a sheathed double sword.
"You need to start training for you to be able to protect yourself. Practice it everyday and before this day ends, you can tell me if you don't like the weapon so I can bring another one next summer," Kei said.
Koren just nodded.
"Let's start practicing, shall we?" Kei said standing up and unsheathing her own katana.
Koren just nodded again and stood up. She clipped the swords to her pants and unsheathed both swords.
"Let's go outside. I don't want to break anything here," Kei said softly already walking out of the house.
Koren gave another nod and followed Kei.

"Kyle-kun!" Kei exclaimed as a brown-haired guy was walking towards her and Koren.
"Konnichiwa Kei-chan," Kyle said bowing in front of Kei.
"Thanks for coming Kyle-kun. This is Koren and I want you to train her," Kei said going to Koren.
"Hello Koren," Kyle said bowing in front of Koren.
"Good morning," Koren said, her voice monotone.
Kyle looked at Kei with a raised eyebrow. Kei just smiled and nodded at Kyle. Kyle smiled at Koren and sighed seeing Koren's face devoid of emotions.
"Well Koren, for starters, I'll be your personal trainer from now on. In case Kei won't be available to visit you, I'll still be here every summer. I see you have a double sword. A very good weapon of choice but I would suggest daggers for a child like you but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. Anyways, let's see how far you've gotten with Kei's assistance," Kyle said with a slight laugh.
"Mou! Kyle-kun!" Kei exclaimed pouting but leaning on a tree near them.
"Kidding Kei-chan," Kyle said smiling at Kei.
"Alright! Whatever! Get on with it already," Kei said.
"Yes m'am," Kyle said, a tone of humor in his voice.

"Well, that was great Koren. You just need a bit more practice and you should be able to handle that sword of yours," Kyle told Koren after their training.
It was already beginning to get dark and Kei was still leaning on the tree trunk smiling at the sight of the two who had been practicing since morning. Kei stood up and walked over to the two.
"We got to go Koren. It's getting dark. I'm not sure if Kyle-kun will come over tomorrow but I think he might. Your mother says hi, by the way," Kei said patting Koren on the head.
"Thank you and have a safe trip," Koren said nonchalantly.
"Bye Koren," Kei and Kyle said simultaneously walking away from the house.
"Are you sure she'll be ok by herself?" Kyle asked Kei.
"Of course! If there's one thing she possesses, it'd be strength," Kei said smiling at Kyle.
"Alright, if you say so," Kyle said looking down.
"You're pretty concerned," Kei said.
"Why shouldn't I? She shows no emotions and she's going to grow up without a father or a mother," Kyle said.
"Well, I'm sure she can handle it," Kei said.
Kyle just smiled.

"I don't know why you don't want us to look for whoever hurt Genki-chan?" Kei asked Jen, trying her best to keep her temper in check.
"You are not her mother and I don't see the reason for looking for him. Gin is here and she's alive. Isn't that what matters?" Jen said.
"Demo…" Kei started to say.
"What? Look. Gin is just a child. She won't remember anything when she grows up. Why should I care to look for somebody she'll never even remember," Jen said.
"I just think that…oh never mind! You don't seem to care about her anyways. I'll just talk to Red," Kei said giving up on talking with Jen.
"You have no right to tell me I don't care about my own child. She's my child not yours. And what makes you think Red would say yes to the investigation?" Jen said cockily.
Kei glared at Jen and stood up.
"You're walking away? Wow! That's a first. The famous Kei Wildfire backing away from a fight," Jen said.
"Who said we were fighting? You're not worth it," Kei said walking to the stairs where Gin was sitting down.
Gin looked up at Kei as soon as Kei stopped in front of her.
"Let's go outside Genki-chan?" Kei asked the little black-haired girl.
Gin nodded and stood up. Kei took Gin's little hand and led her outside to the garden.
"I can't believe your mother Genki-chan," Kei said exasperatedly.
Gin cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"She is impossible. I don't how you can live in the same house as her," Kei said then giggles lightly. "Oh right. You have no choice. But at least you have a very caring dad," Kei said smiling at the little child.
"Why is mum mad at you?" Gin asked.
"I don't know. She's always been mad at me. Since we were still in Hogwarts," Kei said.
Gin looked up at Kei and smiled. Kei stopped under the shade of a tree and looked at Gin.
"Do you want me do the investigation?" Kei asked.
"I do," someone said from behind.
"Hello Red," Kei said slowly looking behind.
"I heard the whole conversation. Sorry about Jen. She just doesn't anyone else to know about what happened," Red said as he picked up Gin who was already tugging on his pants.
Gin smiled at her dad.
"Hi daddy," Gin said.
Red smiled at Gin.
"But if I go on with the investigation and Jen finds out, I'm scared of what she might do," Kei said looking down.
"Don't worry. She won't do anything. I'll just talk to her ok?" Red said.
"Thanks Red. I really want to do this for Genki-chan," Kei said.
"No problem. What are friends for?" Red said putting Gin down.
"Helping each other," Kei said.
"Right. I'll go in now. You can play with Gin if you want," Red said walking inside the manor.
"I'll help you ok? I'll try to keep an eye on you because I don't trust your mother. But tell your dad, ok?" Kei said kneeling down and looking straight into Gin's eyes.
"Hai!" Gin said, her eyes showing happiness.
"I got to go. I'll see you next summer?" Kei said smiling at Gin.
"Hai!" Gin said, her smile growing.
"Let's get you inside your manor then," Kei said leading Gin inside their manor.

Tenshi: Hah! There's Chapter 3! Sorry
it's so short but I'm kind of in a mind block. Anyways, our final exams are
finished so I've got nothing much to worry about now. All we have in school now
are graduation practices so there. I'll try to update more frequently from now
on. But I'm not giving any guarantees. I admit that I'm a slow writer. Hehe…anyways, review! Flames will still be welcomed!
Thanks! ^^
