I don't use spellcheck. This is Notepad, and I don't know where the spell check is on Notepad, let alone if we have one! I'm not really good at typing. I still fail to get an A in keyboarding, and in the first chapter, her friends arer ASLEEP!!!!!! How would you feel if you just battled hill bandits? And if you don't like my story, why don't you write your own and read it? At least it would give you something to do besides be mean. Not everybody's perfect you know.
A message for all readers: Like I said, this fic is touch-and-go. I have no idea what happens. No clue. I'm making this story up! One more reviewing rule: No give-away questions like, "Is she going to fall in love?" or "Will she get her memory back?". K?
I'm going to see if I can type a new chapter before Friday, and then I'll post it. I'm trying to update once a week!!! R+R!!! I've already got over 20 reviews on the first chapter!!! YIPPEEEEEEE!! And only one flame!!!!!

Kira gasped as magic flooded her body, overwhelming her in a matter of minutes. The last thing she remembered was floating on a cushion of something soft and feathery.
===
"Gods!"
Kira heard the frustrated voice through a daze, drifting between sleep and the real world.
"Indeed, it is most unusual for a human to be chosen." Announced a voice much calmer than the one before. "She is, however, one of them."
A special emphasis was put on the word "them," as if it held special qualaties.
"Poor dear!" That was Alice; her voice was tense and worried.
That alone made Kira wake. She didn't want her new friend Alice to be troubled by her.
There was a stunned silence as Kira's eyes fluttered open. It was as if they were scared, or something, Kira thought irratibly.
"Good morning to you too!" She huffed, eyes blazing.
Alice was the first to recover. "Are ye feeling all right, my Lady?" She stammered nervously. The Alice she had heard a moment ago was gone; this Alice treated her like a bomb that might go off, like people do when they think you're going to hurt them.
Kira frowned. "My Lady? I thought... OH GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kira had made the mistake of looking into the mirror placed exactly opposite her bed, which was large enough for her to see every part of her.
Kira's eyes, once a dreamy hazel, were now bright, bright green, the color of fresh grass. Her hair, once short and brown, was now down to about knee-length and matched her eyes perfectly. Tons of shoulder length locks framed her face, which complexion was creamy and perfect. Even the shape of her face had changed, as had her nose, her eyes, and even her brows. Kira was different. Really different.
The green-haired girl noticed something else. Spread across the pillows of her bed were large, beautiful, soft wings.
"I have wings!" She gasped, heart almost stopping in shock.
"Yes, my Lady!" Quipped the only male fairy among the four. "You're the only one, you know." His voice dripped sarcasm; Kira's eyes narrowed. If there was one thing she truly despised, it was sarcasm.
"Only one what?" She asked with contempt.
"Lady of the- mmfh!!!" Alice had shoved her hand over his mouth.
After an hour of asking what he had meant, Kira decided she needed a walk. Leaving the older fairies in the room, she grabbed a gown and made her way to the changing screen placed in the corner of the room. She changed into the green gown, which was, to her displeasure, covered in ruffles and frills.
Despite her fru-fru appearance, she stormed out of the room.
Here it was even worse; people bowed or curtsied when she passed, touching their hearts and murmuring "My Lady..."
This made Kira even angrier. She made for the library, (I'll explain about how she knows where it is later!) only to find it empty. Kira sat down with a happy sigh, thankful for silence. But the silence gave her something else; time to think clearly. Why would anyone call a human-turned-fairy "Lady?"
Or give her respect for the title?
Kira searched the titles of the shelved books, looking for one that might help her. After a minute she grabbed five and slammed the down on the floor. Sitting beside them, she flicked through the first, 'Fairy Secrets.' It contained, of all things, one thousand different ways to cook a goose, all in the secret fairy methods.
After looking through 'Fairy Nobility', 'Facts of the Fairies', and 'Fairy Transformations', she picked up the last, 'Fairy Legends.' It was the oldest and dustiest of the bunch, which was why she had saved it for last.
She turned to the table of contents, eyes running over the first five. She almost skipped the sixth, and was about to move on when she realized what it had said: 'Lady of the Fairies, page 568.' Kira turned hurriedly to the page and began to read.
'Though it is extremely rare, once every century or so, a fairy will be born with wings. This fairy is higher than all others, as she contains powers far greater than any. This transformation will always occur when a mortal girl, taken from the human realm, is confronted with the choice of becoming a fairy. If she agrees, and the fairy council accepts her answer, the girl is tranformed into a fairy. Even now and then a pure fairy will be born with wings, but her power will only ammount to half of a mixed fairy. This fairy will be, until her death, ultimate ruler of the fairies.'

Keru-chan says: I SAW SEABISCUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my GOD! It's awesome! I went with my horse-crazy older sis, Lunar Kitty. She loved it! I loved it! If you haven't seen it, you REALLY need to!!! By the way all the spelling errors that I could find in chapter one have been corrected. Just wanted to put this message in!!!!!!! (I have the computer for another hour and a half! I might finish this chapter! Yay!)

10 years later...

Kira rushed up into her room, locking the door with both magic and a regualar lock. Flopping on her silken bed she sighed. "GODS!! How the hell am I supposed to get rid of those damn people!?"
A voice came through the door, severe and annoyed. "Kira! You are a young woman!!!!! Words like that are completely off limits! Honestly, you'd think you were raised in the slums of Mikia!!!" (Mikia is one of the worst cities in the fairy realms. Really bad place; trust me, I'm the author!)
Kira raised the magic level in her barriers to keep out sound; she hated palace councilors.
After that fateful day, when she found out what she was, Kira had been shipped off to Yali, the home of Fairy Palace. (Corny name, I know!)
There she was to be brought up 'a proper lady' and not a 'country bumpkin', as they constantly called the inhabitants of my place of birth. (Fairy birth, that is.)
Kira hated it. She despised being forced to wear corsets, skirts, fancy slippers, hats, petticoats, and bringing a parasol whenever there was chance she might step into sunlight. She would often stare out her window, wishing for freedom. Sometimes she escaped into the Enchanted Forest just outside the south wall, wearing breeches, boots, and a plain shirt. There she would stay until someone remembered where she always was on such occasions.
This was one of those times. Unknown to palace staff and her mentors, Kira had learned two essential skills; conjuring and summoning. With these came other things: stealth, con arts, the use of weapons. Kira could easily pass off as a commoner if she hadn't her cursed wings; they marked her apart from others. She couldn't walk a street, stay at an inn, or even go to the palace gate without crowds of fairies swarming her, touching her for good luck.
And worst of all, she couldn't fly. The day after she mastered flying, she tried to fly away. She was free for three days. And they had clipped her wings afterward; she couldn't fly more than four feet above the ground without falling.
'Damn…' Was what she constantly thought through lessons; 'Damn this palace to hell' was usually at the salons, where people fussed over her hair and makeup before she went to dinner.
Kira was sick of it. Here she was, stuck between her teachers and a hard place.
Kira made a desperate decision. If she was from the mortal realm, she saw no reason not to return to it. And she was positive that her fairy mentors would never think to look there, for at least a year or so. Shoving already-stored food, gear, and boys' clothes into her waterproof canvas bag, Kira changed and put her hair up in a ribbon.
Looking around for anything else she might need, she found two items: her bow and quiver, along with a silver mirror studded with emeralds that Alice had given to her before she left.
Topping her plain garments with a hooded cloak, she slowly climbed down her tower wall.

Keru-chan says: Yo! I've put my rating up to PG-13 for mild swearwords! I don't cuss, but I find that in my stories, 'darn' isn't strong enough! By the way, if any of you are Inu-Yasha fans, check out my sis's story, 'Beast.' It's really good! I am personally a steadfast anime girl. My choices of the hottest anime guys are: Hieh from Yu Yu Hakusho, Inu-Yasha from Inu-Yasha, Sesshomaru (Inu-Yasha's brother), Bankotsu (Inu-Yasha's enemy), Lantis from Magic Knight Rayearth, Eagle from Magic Knight Rayearth, Yueh from Card Captor Sakura, and Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. The only real guy I like is Orlando Bloom!!! He's in the Lord of the Rings films and Pirates of the Caribbean.
He's sooooooo FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Gets stars in her eyes* Well, it's !2:12 so I better finish my fanfiction!!!! Bu-bye, and enjoy the chapter!
It's a bit longer than last time!!!
Maygan-chan says: Good God, Keltz! How do you write so much?!
Keru-chan says: Shut up, Meg. (She's been my best friend since I was six. Keltz is my real-life nickname. I don't know why I call her 'Meg.' her real name is May+gan. Wierd, huh? OWWWWWW! She just hit me! -____-!!!!)
