A/N: This is a story about three 14 year-old girls, in 9th grade, that get polled into the different worlds of Anima. Bare with me, the prologue is the beginning of the adventure and how it all happened.

SPIRIT PROPHESIES

By Starlit-Knight

Prologue:

It was a beautiful and glorious morning. The sky was clear and the grass was green. The baby birds that had hatched and grown during the spring were flying around, flapping their newly found wings.

For all the children and teenagers, today marked the first day of the new school year. Although most were unhappy to have to go back to homework, studying and kissing up to the teachers, they were happy about seeing their friends.

'All freshmen are to report to the cafeteria, where you will be given your class schedules.' Roared the loud speaker.

"Could they possible be any louder?" A 14 year-old girl said, walking down the hall. Her dirty blond hair was back in a high ponytail. Her blue eyes narrowed in frustration as all the teenagers made their way to the cafeteria.

She felt a sharp pain hit her skull. "You shouldn't ask such stupid question. With your luck it'll probably come true." A voice behind her mused in enjoyment.

"Wait, I know that voice." She said turning around. "Pawz-chan, who are you calling stupid. Like you have room to talk." She shouted slightly, waving her hands in the air. Behind her stood a girl who looked to be the same age as her. The girl's long light brown hair came down to her lower back; it was held back by a headband, with the bangs loose.

"I would hope you know the voice. That is, unless you're slower then we thought, Starlit-chan." She said, her eyes fixing on something behind Kristen.

"Umm! We?" The foolish blonde asked, with the look of puzzlement on her face.

"Yeah, 'we'! I swear me and Pawz-chan really worry about you, sometimes, Starlit-chan." Said a girl with short brown hair that was spiked up.

"I think you mean all the time, Ridge-kun." Corrected Pawz, releasing her grip on Starlit's head.

"You're right, my bad." She said, her eyes fixating on Starlit, who was pouting now.

"You two are so mean to me." She said, while forced drops of water formed on the corner of her eyes.

"What do you think's better: us picking on you, or… being very over protected of you, like Hana and Uho are to Tohru, on Fruits Baskets?" Pawz mused.

Starlit stopped faking her tears as she though about it. She started waving her hands and shaking her head, back and forth. "No, no, that's okay. Really, pick on me all you want."

"Thought so!" Pawz said.

Ridge step a little closer, "What are you two talking about?" She questioned.

Pawz turned her head to look at Ridge. "It's an Anima, but it's not just based on one section, like most are. It's Humor, Drama, Romance, Action, Adventure, Magic and everything else, its' a neat story in lots of ways."

"Sounds interesting, but I won't watch unless it's got fighting." Ridge confessed.

"There is fighting, but not that much, and I don't think it even falls under your definition of fighting." Said Starlit, putting herself into the conversation.

"Yeah you're right. Really the only fighting is in episode two, after you just meet Kyo and find out about the curse." Pawz stated, cupping her chin with her hand in a thinking pose.

"Yeah, and when you meet Haru." Said Starlit.

"Who?" Ridge asked.

"The cow." Pawz answered.

"There's a fighting cow?" Ridge asked, looking more confused then ever as she sweatdropped.

'All students please return to your homeroom class, once you've received your schedule,' Roared the load speaker again.

Starlit covered her ears. "You know, that really hurts my ears." She said though grinding teeth.

"Hey, I just notice something," Said Pawz looking at Starlit.

"What?" Asked Starlit, while trying to get her hearing back, by wiggling her finger in her ear.

"Where next in line to get all the papers." She stated, while pointed in the direction to where the table was.

Ridge and Starlit looked behind them. Indeed they were next in line and the lady there was yelling at them to move up.

All three girls moved up quickly. Starlit and Pawz's sweatdropped, yet Ridge stood there with her usual emotionless face on.

Starlit began to panick. "I'm so sorry, you see I was talking to my friends and I haven't seen them since last year, so I guess I was so excited that I couldn't hear you." She breathed. "We're so sorry."

As Starlit continued to ramble on, Ridge and Pawz looked at each other and then back at Starlit.

Pawz put her hand to her forehead and her elbow rested on the other. "She's doing it again."

"Yeah, that's Starlit-chan for ya. She really didn't change." Ridge stated letting out a heavy sigh.

Pawz looked up from her state of embarrassment. She looked at Starlit and then back at Ridge. She smiled, "No, I guess she didn't."

The girls were walking down the crowded hallway, looking at the paper work they were handed.

"Can either of you see where it says to go?" Pawz asked, flipping though the papers.

"Got it, paper number six." Ridge stated. "I got homeroom number 9102. What did you guys get?" She asked.

"Umm, let's see. Homeroom number? Homeroom number? Homeroom… Ah ha, here it is. Homeroom number 9102, just like you Ridge-kun." Pawz said excited, "How 'bout you Starlit-chan?"

"I'm still looking for the page!" She wined as she rumbled through the papers.

"Give me that!" Ordered Ridge, pulling the papers out of her hand. Starlit stared at her now empty hand, just realizing that the papers that where once there, were not.

"Here, Dumb ass, it says it right there. You're with us." She said giving the puzzled girl back her papers.

"Oh…Ok! Thanks!" She said with a big smile on her face.

"You were getting on my nerves." She said. She started walking faster, now knowing were she was going.

"Oh, Ridge-kun, you're so mean to me!" Starlit wined, again fake crying.

"I sometimes wonder if you two were sisters in another life time," Stated Pawz, while speeding up her pace, to keep up with Ridge.

"That's not a very nice thing to say, Pawz-chan!" Starlit said. She opened her eyes to see that they were a few feet in front of her. Her face changed from sad to panic. "Hey! Wait for me." She called ahead running to keep up with them. "I don't know where I'm going."

Ridge and Pawz gave out a little laugh. They looked to their side, as she caught up. "That wasn't funny." said Starlit.

Ridge didn't turn or anything but just stated, "Yes it was."

It was only five minutes into Homeroom and the girls were already bored. They were sitting next to each other in the third row. There was an empty seat next to Ridge (just incase someone else they knew came into the room).

Their homeroom teacher was talking about the rules for the school; no one was paying attention because of the fact that they were written down on at lest six of the twenty papers they got. So the three of them just sat there and acted as if they were paying attention.

"Okay, seeing how you're all stuck here for another half an hour, just try and introduce yourself, amongst each other." Said the teacher as she put the papers down on her desk.

"Well, I can tell you right now, this year is going to suck big time." Ridge grumbled, looking like she was about to pass out.

"Yes, I'm going to have to agree." Said Pawz.

"Really, 'cause I have a feeling were in for a big adventure." Said Starlit.

"Yeah, a big adventure on how to avoid the teacher, get out of doing homework and to find some of our friends from last year." Ridge stated.

"No, it's more then that. I've got a feeling; a strong one." She said looking out the window.

"You'd think with her grades, she would be smarter." Ridge grumbled under her breathe, looking at Starlit with narrow eyes.

"Maybe she just got a lot of dumb luck." Stated Pawz, having overheard Ridge.

"Maybe."

"Hey, what class do you guys go to next?" Starlit asked, holding the paper in the air and waving it.

"Classroom 205, Japanese." Pawz replied after double-checking her paper.

"Hey! Yeah! Me too!"

"Wow, then we must be really lucky, 'cause I have that too. Talk about good luck." She said.

Ridge sweatdropped. "Pawz-chan, I think you might be right about the dumb luck thing. She never seems to run out."

"Yes it seems that way doesn't it? Hey! For once it seems my nonsense, made sense." She stated cheerfully.

The door to the classroom opened and two boys walked in. "Sorry we're late." Said one with ash like hair.

"Yeah, we got lost!" Stated the other one with black hair.

The girls were too into the conversation to notice them come in. Starlit froze. Her eyes seemed distant as she stared into nothingness.

Pawz saw that Starlit didn't look right. "Or you okay?"

Starlit eyes went back to normal. "Yeah I'm good. But, you two should worry about who's at the door behind me."

"What?" Said Ridge, looking at the classroom door, Pawz looked as well.

Ridge stood up. "Yo, Igneous-kun, Wizard-kun, over here!" She said waving her hands up in the air, to get there attention.

The one with light brown hair looked over to where he had heard his name. He saw them, "Hey! Ridge-kun! Pawz-chan! Starlit-chan!" He said going over to them.

Pawz looked at Starlit. "How did you know they were there when you have your back to the door?"

Starlit's sweatdropped. "There reflection was in the window." She lied, badly.

"Oh." She said looking at the window.

Igneous and Wizard had joined them and they found out that they were all in the same class together.

Starlit on the other hand wasn't paying attention. She was too lost in her own thoughts. 'How DID I know Igneous and Wizard were there? I couldn't have seen them in the window like I told Pawz. The window isn't even closed.'

Starlit just sat there as they were all talking and thought about what happened. She had a feeling that today would be an odd day for her and the others.

The bell had ringed and it was off to first period. The group of five walked to their next class. They walked up the stairs and to the next floor. On their way down the hall they passed the library; where they would be going for third period.

Pawz saw something out of the corner of her eye. It was a small wolf cub, that had an unnaturally glow. It had a ghostly look to it.

Ridge looked back at her from the corner of her eye and came to a halt. "Hey, Pawz-chan, are coming?" She asked.

Pawz took her eyes off the cub and looked at her friends. "Yeah, I'm coming." She said. She looked back to where the cub was, but to her dismay the little wolf was no longer there. Pawz just continued to walk with the rest of them even in the shock of the image.

They had gotten to their first period and were surprised to find an empty class.

"Oh, good you are the first ones to show up." Said a middle-aged woman, who was dressed in navy blue dress pants and a white dress top. A jacket that matched her pants was hung over her chair. She had long, curly, jet-black hair, which she wore in a high ponytail and even then it was long. Her eyes were of an emerald green. She seemed to have a Japanese accent.

"Umm, out of curiosity, how many students are in this class?" Starlit asked as she looked into the empty classroom.

"Let me see." She said going to her desk and looked at her folder. "All together there seems to be eleven." She said looking up at them.

"Only eleven, really?" Ridge asked.

"Yup! Only eleven." She answered back. "But, that's good; it means that you have a better chance at learning more. And also that I don't have to remember so many names. Now, all of you take a seat anywhere you like, seeing how it seems your friends. Am I right?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Wizard responded.

They all went and took a set at the desk set up in three groups of five. Starlit sat in the first row, closest set to the door, Pawz next to her, followed by Ridge. Igneous sat behind Ridge and Wizard sat in the set with no one in front of him, next to Igneous.

A few seconds past by and more students came in. One, a boy with short blond hair and blue eyes, named Brian. He sat two sets behind Jen. A girl came in after that. She had fire red hair, with green eyes, her name was Meiko. She sat in the end set in the third row.

All hope of the gang seeing their friends had almost faded away because there were only three remaining students.

The last two students to wonder in were Spooky Maho and BakaGothicKitsune. Friends to the gang.

"Hey Spooky-chan, BGK-chan, long time, no see." Said Starlit as the two girls looked over to her.

"Hey Starlit-chan, Pawz-chan, Ridge-kun." They said in combination, that made it sound as it their voice's were one.

"Hi, Spooky-chan! Hi, BGK-chan!" Pawz said.

"Yeah, Hi!" Ridge answered.

BGK sat in the set next to Ridge and Spooky took the one next to her.

The teacher sat down in her set. "Well, since every one seems to be here. I can introduce myself. I am Ms. Sakura Yamataki. I'll be teaching you how to speak my native language, Japanese." She looked up at the students as talked. Her eyes had a glow to them. You could tell that she was trained in many forms of Marshal Arts. Her eyes meet those of the students, sending shivers up their spins. The only one who didn't flinch was Ridge. They spent the class time talking about the rules, what they would be needing for her class and a subject that had something to do about magic, that Brain had some how gotten her to get on. Most of the class found this very instructing, on how the magical world over there was very different from what we believe over here.

As time went by the class period was over. The bell rang and the students left the class room and forward with their day. Second period was History, which all of them though was as boring as anything. But they did have something to look forward to, the fact that they were in the same classes.

Finally their dreams had come true and they were out of History class. The teacher Mr. Smith had driven them to the break of going crazy. Luckily for them he was only a temporary teacher and the real teacher would be back tomorrow.

"If I ever see him again I will take a gun to my head." Said Igneous.

"No you won't." Said Ridge, as she gave him a look that would scare anyone away.

Igneous like a little defeated puppy just nodded his head. "Yes, ma'am!"

"Well, luckily we have study hall, then lunch and then art. Those should be fun." Said Starlit excitedly.

"Yeah, you're right. But one thing sucks." Stated Pawz.

"Really, what's that?" Starlit asked, as the turned the corner to where the library was.

"The fact that after that we have Science, then Math, English and Reading." She answered.

"Actually, you're wrong we don't get reading. Well we do, it's just one with English that's all." Said Wizard.

"Oh! My bad! Sorry! But we still do have to suffer though all those other classes." Stated Pawz, defending herself.

Starlit stopped. Her eyes went a distance, blank again. This time every thing around her seemed to fade. Blackness took over and she saw something come into sight.

There was a very antic looking box and a key that looked a lot, like the box. Then came a blinding light. A girl stands next to an angel and a lion. Their faces are hidden in shadow. Everything goes black again and a small girl appears. She's ghostly pale and is wearing an outfit that doesn't help clear that up. It was a white dress at just the right length for her small body, but the width seems that it was made to be for someone three times her size. She opened her eyes to revile a cerulean blue. They shone with a holy glow to them. Her long white hair danced in a breeze that wasn't really there. Then Kristen saw it, the chains that rapped around her small figure and holding her in the stance she was in. She held out her small hand, holding a block gem. She mouthed something, being unable to speak, that seemed to be awaken me .

"Starlit-chan, snap out of It." Said Pawz, causing her to crash back into reality. The darkness had faded and everything started coming back to her.

"What the hell happened to you?" Asked Ridge.

Starlit just realized she was on the floor, lying on her back. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"What do you mean, what do I mean? All of a sudden you fell over and were staring into nothing and weren't blinking or breathing. No matter what we did you wouldn't wake up. Pawz finally got through to you." Said Ridge, yelling now.

"Well, I'm fine now. It must have been from the heat." She lied.

"Told you it was the heat." Said Wizard. Everyone shot him a, 'you better shut the hell up right now,' look, which caused him to back down from his up coming comment that would no doubt be something they would kick his ass for saying.

"So, you're sure you're alright?" Asked Spooky.

"Yup, it's all good." She said giving them a fake, yet convincing smile.

They walked into the library. Since it was the first day of school, there was nothing to study and all you could do is talk. The place seemed empty, other then them there were only three other people. They walked over to an unoccupied table and sat down. The library was bigger then the cafeteria. There were rows upon rows of reading material. There was a section for History, Science, Math, English, Languages and a Fiction and Nonfiction Section (which was to occupy things that didn't fall under the other sections.)

Pawz was drawn to the three shelves in the back of the library. The only part of the sign she could see was J. M. A. N.

"J-Man?" Pawz question.

"What was that Pawz-chan?" Asked Ridge.

"Oh, nothing, just reading something." She answered.

"No, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Came a voice from one of the bookshelves.

"What was that?" Asked Starlit, started.

"I don't know!" Answered Pawz.

"Hey, let's go see." Said Ridge getting up from her chair. Pawz followed.

"Pawz-chan, Ridge-kun, where are you going?" She called after them. She turned to the rest of them. "We'll be right back." Starlit told Wizard, Igneous, Spooky and BGK; who all had a confused look on their faces, as to what the three were talking about.

In the third from last row, in the nonfiction section, a ninth grade girl, who was small for her age; was surrounded by five eleventh grade boys.

One of the boys was holding the girl by the wrist. "Let me go." She cried as she pulled to get herself free.

"But we wanna have some fun first." He said as pulled her back to him.

Ridge, Pawz and Starlit picked up their speed, and now were at a dash. They came to the row where the scream came from. They saw the situation.

"Scream your head off, no one can hear you or see you. You of all people should know that, little Ms. Sorceress." He said as he had her pinned to the shelf with his body.

"HEY!" Ridge screamed to get their attention.

All of the boys looked their way, the seemed to be a bit surprised at the fact that they've been spotted. The leader of them looked over. He spoke. "Well, what do we have here? Three more little sorceresses who think their power is a match for mine."

Their sweat dropped. Starlit stepped forward. "Look, I don't know what the hell you mean by sorceresses, but I do know one thing, if you don't let her go there's going to be hell to pay."

Pawz and Ridge stood behind Starlit. They looked at each other and then back at Kristen. "Umm Starlit-chan, since when do you have that attitude?" Asked Pawz.

Starlit blinked a few times, and then she rubbed the back of her head. She turned to face them. "You people are rubbing off on me in all the wrong ways." She said giving a stupid smile that was phony as ever.

"Well I don't care if you go bad Starlit-chan or not. But I know for a fact, that I'll help you show these boys that when they piss us off they get hell." Ridge said as she pushed her sleeves up and getting ready to fight.

Pawz step forward, "Since I'm here and in the mood to really hurt someone, I guess I'll help."

Laughter ran trough their ears. The leader of the group tossed the girl to the side as if she were a doll. Her body flung back out as it made contacted with the wall. "You think you can stop me?" He looked at them and began to laugh even more. "You three shrimplits think you can fight me? That's a good one. Boys get 'em." He commanded as the other four boys got closer to them.

"Hey boss, it hardly seems fair to take on three little girls." One of them said.

"Who're you calling little?" Ridge questioned as she flew forward, and hit him so hard, in between the eyes that he was out cold. Starlit and Pawz just stood behind Ridge, waiting for the right moment to join in. Ridge gave a grin, "I win." She said.

"She needs to learn how to not let your opponent get the best of you." Said Starlit.

"She also needs to learn how to keep her guard up." Stated Pawz.

"I'm going to make sure the girl is okay." Said Starlit as she pointed to where the girl laid sleeping on the ground. She had brown hair that came done to her knees.

"Okay!" Said Pawz, watching her walk over to the girl.

One of the boys found their way past Ridge and was now in front of Pawz. He went to hit her; she just stepped to the side and watched him fumble and fall down. He got back up and attacked again, Pawz ducked down, to avoid the hit and came up with her left fist and stone-cold-knocked him out. She looked at him. "Weakling." She stated as she looked over at Starlit. "Hey, is she alright?"

Starlit looked up to where she heard Pawz call her. "Yeah, I don't think she has any real damage done, but her wrist is broken." She called back to Pawz.

"You should be more worried about yourself," Said one of the boys as they stepped up to Starlit.

"Is that a fact?" She stated. "I would be worried about my weak spot, if I were you."

"Weak spot? I ain't got a weak spot."

"Really, you don't. Well then, let me see, myself." She said as she got up and kicked him right in the groin. He fell over, holding himself. "You see, I'm not like my two friends. Instead of sending you to dream land, I make you feel great pain."

"God, Starlit-chan that was just wrong." Said Pawz with this look of shock on her face, then her face went back to normal. "Then again, I do the same thing sometimes." She said with a guilty look on her face.

Ridge was against the last of the rookies. He attacked her, but she moved to the side, brought her leg up and kicked him right in the gut. He fell to the ground. "I hope you're not as boring as your friends here." She said looking up at the leader.

"You know something's pathetic when I beat it." Starlit said as she kneeled down next to the girl, so that if he went after her again she could protect her.

"I don't believe it! First you're able to see through the illusion, and then you bet the best of my men, now you're not affected by the time spell, yet you don't have an aura. Who are you girls?" He stated, as he stumbled back.

'Time spell? Okay this guy's crazy.' Thought Ridge.

'Aura…Aura. I know I heard that before.' Starlit thought.

'What does he mean by illusion? Is this guy crazy or is he just doing this to draw us off guard?' Pawz asked herself.

"Look I don't give a fuck if you're confused on who we are, but I do know that you're going down buddy." Ridge said as she flung towards him. All three girls' eyes flung open in shock as he vanished into thin air.

"Where… Where'd he go?" She said as she landed and looked around.

Starlit jumped up in a panic. "Okay guys, please tell me you saw that and it wasn't just me. I mean, he did just vanish, right." She asked as she began hopping around like an idiot.

'What the hell just happened? People just don't disappear. It's unheard of.' Pawz said to herself.

'This is crazy! He was just right here. Magic isn't real. Or is it?' Ridge thought.

"Guys…. Hello. Did you hear what I said?" Starlit asked, snapping everyone out of their thoughts.

Pawz closed her eyes. "Starlit, you're being too loud." She stated.

Starlit was about to say something when her eyes went into a distance stare again. "Wait…" Both Ridge and Pawz looked at Starlit. "Someone's coming!"

Around the corner came the Librarian. "Oh, dear god, what happened here?" Pawz and Starlit were frozen still, Ridge was again expressionless.

"We just got here and we found them like this. But before we got here a strange man, he walked passed us. He didn't look like a teacher, though." Lied Starlit as she looked up at the woman. Her eyes where still at a distance and had nothing to them, but a blank stare.

Pawz and Ridge saw the difference in her eyes and knew something was up. She wouldn't be able to lie her way out of this one.

"Nonsense there's no way someone could be here with a student, teacher or guest pass. You will all have detention until we clear this up. Now the bell is about to go off, go get ready to go to your next class." She said scooting them off.

Pawz turned around. "Ms., you should really take them to the nurse's office. The girl, she has a broken wrist. The one red head boy, he has three broken rips, the blond boy he has a broken nose and the one with black hair; he'll need ice for his neck. You don't have to worry about the one boy, all that happened to him was his weak spot got hit a little too hard." She said, and then she turned back around.

While Starlit's back was turned to the woman she said one last thing as her eyes return to normal. "Congratulations."

"What for?" she asked.

"Your boyfriend will tell you at dinner tonight." And with that Starlit continued to walk with Pawz and Ridge, who were watching her very carefully.

"Well that sucks, it's only the first day of school and we are already in trouble," Said Pawz.

"Yeah! Hey Starlit-chan what happened to your eyes early?" Asked Ridge.

"I don't know. Why, what did they do?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing. They just looked empty that's all. You know the same as they look, when you're sleeping." Jen answered.

"Really that's weird."

"Pawz-chan you're a dumb ass, when you're sleeping your eyes are shut, you can't tell what look they have, duh," Ridge said.

"Yes, it was, by the way! What did you mean when you said 'Congratulations' to the Librarian?" Asked Pawz.

"Umm, When did I say that?" she asked.

"Just a minute ago." Answered Ridge getting annoyed,

"Really?" Asked Starlit more confused then ever.

"Do you mean to tell us you don't remember?" Asked Pawz.

"Umm, no not really, after the guy vanished, everything's… blank." She said trying to remember,

Ridge looked up from where sat. "Forget about it, it really doesn't matter anyway."

Pawz and Starlit looked at Ridge.

"Any way we should get ready for next period. The bell's about to…"

RING

"Well that was a funny coincidence."

"You can say that again Starlit." Said Pawz.

"Well that was a funny coincidence."

"Cute, but don't do it again." She said as she got up with the rest of them and went out the door.

The day had passed by rather quickly for them. The last bell of the day had just ringed and it was time for them to report to the library. They walked up the stairs and then down hall where the library was located.

They walked in; the room's silence made it seem evil and dead. Something was off; all three girls could feel that any place but here would be safer.

"Guys is it me or does this place seem to be…" Her eyes weld up with fake tears, "Dead." She finished saying.

"Don't be stupid," Said Ridge, as she looked over to the back. There was a girl, the girl from Starlit's vision. "Hey, you, what are you doing here? I know already that we are the only ones with detentions on the first day of school." She questioned the figure. Pawz and Starlit looked over. The girl went into shock as she saw the ghostly figure. The girl just looked at them, then walked away and vanished into the shadows of the bookshelves.

"Quickly, let's follow her!" Said Ridge running after her.

"Wait! Ridge-kun, stop." Said Starlit and Pawz at the same time.

They looked at each other. "So you know too!" Starlit said.

"A little, you probably know more." She stated. Then they both ran after the girl, talking along the way.

"So for how long have you know about the girl?" Asked Starlit.

"Just since this morning, that's when I saw her; she was standing next to you when you collapsed, third period." She answered. "How about you?"

"For a few months know, I've been having this dream. There's a girl around eleven or twelve. She standing in a park, with her, there's an Angel and a lion. It seems so familiar to me but I can't remember. Then I see a small child around three, chained to the ground. After then I wake up and there, at the foot of bed, is that girl. She's every where I go. She's definitely the same girl; the only difference is hair. In my dream is blond, here its silver/white." Said Starlit.

"Wow!" Said Pawz.

"Yeah, and for the last week, she's been there, without me dreaming and like earlier I've been seeing that dream without being asleep." She confessed.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one, who's been getting strange dreams. Your dream seems to be the same as mine, except, there's no little girl, but instead a wolf," Stated Pawz.

"A wolf?" Starlit asked.

"Yeah, as a matter of fact, a cub! I saw him again, today on our way to first period." She said. Ridge was waiting for them at an optical. There were three chooses you could make.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Ridge said in frustration.

"I suppose this does pose a problem for us," Said Pawz.

"Come on, you keep coming to us, Little Angel. Now, give us a sign." Starlit shouted. From the row came a blue glow, a little pup appeared. It pounced at them then jumped back and began to run down the row.

"Well, speak of the devil." Said Starlit, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"We just got done talking about it, and here it is." Said Pawz.

"What are two talking about?" Said Ridge, as they began to run after it. As they ran Starlit and Pawz explained the whole story to Ridge.

"So, do you believe us or do you think we're crazy?" Asked Starlit.

"No, I believe ya. But, if a baby dragon appears, then I'm going to have to kill myself for not listening to my dreams." She said.

"Wait, you've been having dreams too?" Asked Pawz.

"Oh yeah. It became so hard for me to even sleep at night. Infact…" She answered back, but never finished. They stopped; again there was a problem. A fork in the rows had come up.

"Okay, so now where do we go?" asked Ridge as she looked down the right row.

"Umm, Ridge-kun? I think you're going to have to kill yourself," Said Starlit.

"Cool. Wait? What? Why?" She asked as she looked at her.

"Because, look who our next helper is," Said Pawz pointing down the left row. There sat a dragon, whose appearance was somewhat hidden, in shadow.

"You're right, I am going to have to kill myself, but I'll do that later. Come on it's getting away." She said, as she began running again.

They ran down the rows again. They keep running for another ten minutes, until they came into a clearing. Lying on the ground was three boxes. On each one something was written. One the first was Pawz, the second one had Ridge written on it and the last on had Starlit written on it.

The girls stood there. Starlit looked over to the section they were in. Her eyes lit up. "Ridge-kun, Pawz-chan; look!" She said pointing to the shelves.

They looked over and saw rows upon rows of movies, DVD's, magazines, comic books and CD's. They were all Manga and Anima.

They both narrowed their eyes. "Starlit, this really isn't the… Oh look they have Inu-Yasha, and Trigun" Said Pawz.

"Pawz-chan, Starlit-chan? WHAT ABOUT THE BOXES AND THE STRANGE… oh, cool Invader Zim." She said picking up the book.

"I'm glad you know a lot about them." Said a voice coming from where the boxes were.

The girls moved their attention to the voice. "Who's there?" Asked Pawz.

From the shadows of the area, a woman stepped out. Her jet- black hair was pulled up into a hair-tie, which had a black pearl on it. Her emerald eyes, reflected the light coming from the boxes as if the were a mirror.

"Ms. Yamataki!" They all said at the same time.

"Please, call me Sakura." She stated.

Starlit got lost in her own mind and began talking to herself. "Sakura, Sakura." A picture flashes inside Kristen's memory, a cute little sorceress, a hansom young sorcerer, a very odd friend, a lion and an angel. Starlit's eyes lit up. "That's right! Pawz-chan, Ridge-kun, the girl was Sakura, the lion was Kero and the angel was Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura. I knew it looked familiar." Said Starlit, Happily.

Pawz and Ridge stood watching the teacher carefully, not looking at Starlit, just listing.

"Yes, the dreams. A sign of what's to come in the future." Said Ms. Yamataki. "If you'd like more information then please step up to the box that has your nickname on it."

"Tell us why we should trust you?" Asked Pawz.

"Because if you don't then our world and theirs will be no longer." She answered.

"Them? Hey, who the hell is them?" Asked Ridge becoming angry.

"You'll find out if you come to the box. If you refuse you shall not know." She said bluntly.

"I'll do it!" Said Starlit.

"What are you crazy?" Said Ridge.

Pawz step forward. "I will, too!"

"What?" said Ridge, She through her hands up in defeat. "Yeah, I guess I will too." She said.

"Good, know step in front of your box and put your right hand over it. When done that say 'release'." She said.

They did just that. All together they shouted. "RELEASE!" The area flooded with light and above the back of their hand a gold key with a gold string tied around it, appeared.

"Good, know take the key using your left hand. Don't move your right and keep your left where the key stands know. After, say ' I command you, as your master to take my form of power. Now become the key of your nickname. Uptake! '." She said.

The girls did that. Pawz's key, changed into a key made out of black crystal, Ridge's also black diamond, and Starlit a Gem.

Sakura spoke again. "Now say 'Transform'."

The three girls looked at each other. "We order you to TRANSFORM!" The said.

The keys shot out of the girls' hands and took a different form.

Pawz key turned into to two twin blade daggers. The handle was made of gold, with a black crystal at the meeting of the blade and holder. Ridge's turned into a sword with a reverse blade. A black diamond was at end of the silver handle. Starlit's turned into a long gold staff, with a black gem at the top.

"Wow!" was all any of them could say.

"Good, now take your weapons and put them to your boxes." Said Sakura.

They did that. The boxes flow open to revile what they held inside.

The light in the room faded. Their weapons turned back to normal and the light in the room faded. Inside the boxes sat four items. They were a small black, very thick book, a small handheld computer, a cellphone, with an ear piece, and a chain.

"Do you see how your weapons changed back into their original form?" Asked Sakura.

They nodded their heads. Silence was all they could manage, because of their state of shock.

"Well, in order to change them into the weapon form, your going to have to figure out the incantation to release them. Sorry, but I don't know what it is, only your heart does." She said.

Starlit found her voice. "What about that girl I keep seeing?" She asked.

"Yeah and the wolf cub." Said Pawz.

"Don't forget about the dragon." Stated Ridge.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about." Said Sakura.

"Really, they were the ones who lead us here." Stated Pawz.

"Someone lead you here?" Asked Sakura.

"Yeah, hey what about that guy who disappeared earlier?" Asked Starlit.

"Those were Nicole's men. She's one of five people working for a higher evil. Your other question, I'm afraid I can't answer." Said Sakura.

Something brushed against Starlit's leg. "AHH!" She said as she jumped back and fell on the ground, landing with a tump. Behind her was the little wolf cub.

It walked in front of Paw. She picked him up. "Well, speak of the little demon." She said in a baby voice. "That's what I'll call you. Demon."

The pup looked up at her. "Okay, Master." He said and it almost made the look of a smile.

Everyone went into shock. "Wow, he can talk." Said Ridge.

"All of us can talk, Master." Said a voice from behind Ridge. They all turned to see a small baby dragon sitting next to her.

"Master?" Ridge leaned down to his level. "What's your name?"

"You're our Master 'cause you created us, so you should name us." Said the little girl, who was clinging to Starlit.

"Oh! Let's see then." Said Ridge. "I'll call you . . . Ryuujin."

The dragon gave a small smile and said. "Okay."

"What are you going to call me, Master?" Asked the little girl, looking up too Starlit, who was now standing.

"I think I'll call you . . . Little Angel." She said looking down at her with a smile.

She smiled back. "I like that name." She stated.

Sakura looked up to them. "Well this is new." She said.

They all looked at her. "What do you mean." Asked Ridge.

"I mean that your kind doesn't have the power to awaken their guardians until they're at lest eighteen and here you did it at the age fourteen. Sorry, if I would have know that this was what you were talking about, I would have told you in the first place." Said Sakura.

"What do you mean ' Guardians'?" Asked Starlit.

"They're creations that are to protect you. They take on the inner you and learn from you. Kindda like your children without all the pain." She said.

"Cool!" Said Ridge.

"Now if you could, please but the chain on. It can go anywhere you like." Said Sakura.

Ridge took the chain from her box and placed it around her neck. Pawz put it around her waist like a belt. Starlit rapped it around her wrist.

"Good, now it you could, please touch your key to it."

They did as told. Both the keys and the chains began to glow at contacted. On Ridge's chain a small black diamond appeared, and they stopped glowing. Pawz's gained a black crystal and it too stopped glowing. Last Starlit's had a black gem on it, and the light, as the others did, also faded.

They started admiring the stones' place upon the chains. The stones began to glow and covered the girls with pure white light.

"What's happening?" Asked Ridge.

"Just let the light fill you. Trust me, no harm will come to you." Said Sakura. About ten seconds later, the light faded and the appearance of the girls changed slightly.

Ridge brown hair was still up in spicks, but at the tips of the spicks they were neon blue. Her blue jeans shorts and white T-shirt were now, black pant and a black turtleneck shirt. The chain still hanged of her neck along with her key. Her black leather gloves had the words Ridge written on them. She had black socks and black winter boots on. Attached to her belt was her cell phone, the ear-piece in her ear. The computer was located in her pocket.

Pawz light brown hair was in a white headband, her bangs hanging out. At the tips of her hair it was midnight black. She was no longer dressed in black jeans and a green top; instead she was in black pants and a black long sleeve shirt on. On her hands, were black leather gloves, with a cut out on the back of her hand. Written across them was her name. She wore the same socks and boots as Ridge. On a strap, around her upper right arm was her cell phone. The ear piece in her ear. Her computer was located in a closed pocket on her other arm. Her key was around her neck and the chain around her waste.

Starlit's once gray shorts and white top was now replaced with black pants and a black sweatshirt. Her socks and boots the same as the others. Her open finger black leather gloves had her name written on them. Her hair was up in a black hair-tie; the end of her now blonder hair was silver/white. Attached to the left side of her belt, inside a case held her computer. Her cell phone was hooked to the other side of her belt. The ear piece also located in her ear. The chain was rapped around her right arm. Her key was handing from around her neck.

They each had the same small black bag that held their book. Each one was looking at themselves. They looked at each other. "Oh my god you look different." They all shouted pointing to each other.

"Good. It seems you've done the information loader well for your first time." Stated Sakura.

"Information, what?" Asked Ridge.

"Information loader is when your appearance changes to where ever you're going." She answered.

"Okay, I've just got one question." Said Starlit. Sakura turned to her. "Why me, I mean of all people, you could have someone who's better at fighting and wisdom? I have neither"

"Yeah, she's got a point. Why us?" asked Pawz.

"Because, you where born with the powers. In ever group, there's the one who'll attack with pure offence, then there's the one who'll fight with defense and then there's the one who guards and is good with distraction. So really, each one of you has at least one, so you were chosen to save the world. But also the boxes choose their master and they choose you, meaning there's really something special about each of you that surpasses that of everyone else." Answered Sakura. "I think it's time to start what you were called here to do."

"Yeah, what are we here to do?" Asked Pawz.

"You've got to fix what went wrong in the world you were sent too." She answered.

"Yeah, uh, how are we going to get to this other world." Asked Ridge.

"I'm going to show you that right now, but first I have a question for you." Said Sakura.

"Shoot." Said Ridge.

"How come your not freaked out about the magic thing?" She asked.

"I'm not scared because I'm still waiting to wake up!" Said Ridge.

"Me, I've always loved magic and think this is really cool." Said Starlit.

"I'm a little of what they both said." Answered Pawz.

"Oh!" said Sakura. "Okay, remember what I'm about to show you and don't forget it because after this I won't be able to help you any more. And, I'm sorry, I can't tell you why." She stated. "Now, do you see how your keys are glowing?"

They nodded their heads. "Okay this means that a world needs fixing. Take the key in your right hand and place your right inside your left." She said.

They did as told.

"Close your eyes and repeat after me. 'Key that holds the power of Night and Day, Faith and Hope, Darkness and Light. I, your master order you to take me where I'm needed.'" Said Sakura.

The girls did as told. The room felled with light and the girls were gone from Sakura's sight, when the light faded.

"Good luck girls!" Said Sakura.
