Ok, sorry about the huge cliffie! DON'T HURT ME! But, I'm continuing now, so BE HAPPY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rinika, Akira, and Nikko looked up as the basement door opened, and the Sun Charm stopped glowing. Suka walked down the steps and to the girls.

"hi mom.." Rinika greeted.

"hello Mrs. Kawaii.." Akira greeted as well.

"hi girls…" Suka said noticing the Sun charm in Rinika's hands. "she found it…" she thought to herself. "um..Akira, I'm sorry…can you go home now, I need to talk to Rinika privately about something important.." Suka said to Akira.

"sure…" Akira replied.

"well bye Akira.." Rinika said, a bit confused as Akira left. "alright mom, what did you need to talk about that's so important?" Rinika asked curiously. Suka took her upstairs to her bedroom. Nikko followed.

"may I see that necklace you found dear" Suka asked her daughter. Rinika nodded and handed it to Suka. "Rinika…let me explain to you about this necklace…when you were a baby, your father gave this necklace to me…he said to give it to you when the time was right, it was your destiny to have it. I never quite understood what he meant, but I guess now is the right time and you were meant to find it. For what purpose I don't know.

Rinika blinked, "dad gave you this…" Suka nodded.

"SUKA GET DOWN HERE AND MAKE DINNER!" Terry yelled from downstairs before Suka could reply. So she went downstairs, like he demanded.

The next day Rinika walked to Akira's book store. "hey Kenji, um, where's Akira at?" Rinika asked, not noticing she was strangling poor Nikko.

"um…….she's in the back…um, Rinika, I think your strangling Nikko.." Kenji said looking at Nikko, who was gasping for air. (Nikko:@.@)

Rinika looked down at Nikko who was in her arms. "……..EEP! sorry Nikko!" she said, sweatdropping, as she quickly dropped Nikko. "eh heh…anyway, thanks Kenji!" Rinika said, going to the back. Nikko decided to stay behind.

Kenji smiled down at Nikko. He picked her up, put her on his lap and began to pet her. Nikko felt relaxed now, it was a good change after being strangled to near death by her master!

"hi Akira-chan!" Rinika exclaimed, throwing her arms around her friend.

"hey Rinika!" Akira greeted. Akira noticed Rinika was wearing the Sun Charm choker from the day before. "that is so cool, that choker I mean, I can't believe it was locked away in a old box in your basement!" she said.

"ya…" Rinika replied.

Suddenly both the girls felt something, as the Sun Charm around Rinika's neck began to glow. They rushed outside, where Kenji and Nikko were. A giant snake like demon was in front of them, hissing and swinging its massive tail wildly, smashing buildings.

"what in the hell!" Akira exclaimed.

"I have no idea……" Rinika said, trying to make the Sun Charm stop glowing.

The snake demon hissed ferociously, and it tried to attack Rinika! Nikko's eyes glowed, and the demon was thrown back into a building. She then hopped in front of Rinika protectively, and snarled menacingly. The Snake soon recovered, and looked down at Nikko. She showed her fangs as it began to attack her. An energy blast then shot from her body and at the demon, throwing it back once more, as Rinika, Akira, and Kenji watched in the backround. The demon was then fed up, it snarled and dove at all four!

"FIREBALLS!" Rinika said, and shot a bunch of fireballs at the demon.

"THUNDER STRIKE!" Kenji then exclaimed and shot a bolt of lightning at the demon, frying it.

The Snake demon fell down to the ground, charred. Rinika went over and carefully poked it.

"I can't believe you can touch it!" Akira said in disgust.

The Snake demon suddenly snapped at the unsuspecting Rinika.

"EEEP! FIREBALL!" Rinika exclaimed, shooting a massive ball of fire at the snake, killing it.

"well that wakes you up, doesn't it" Akira said, looking at the dead demon.

"yes……now, what to do with the body?" Kenji said.

Nikko's eyes then began to glow and the body of the large demon disintegrated.

"works for me!" Rinika commented.

"ya, that's one way of doing it" Akira added, stretching.

Nikko then hopped into Kenji's arms. He smiled down at her and scratched her behind the ears.

Akira yawned, "well I'm bored, now what?" she asked.

Rinika looked up at a clock that was on a building. She gasped. "I GOTTA GO! COME ON NIKKO!" she exclaimed, and grabbed Nikko by the collar. She then sped home as Nikko yelped, barked, and whimpered.

"poor Nikko…" Kenji said shaking his head.

"ya, she's very abusive of the poor dog….even though she doesn't mean to be." Akira replied sweatdropping.

While Rinika was running, she accidentally bumped into, who else, but Hiei. Rinika blushed. "oh……..hi Hiei……" she said shyly as he helped her up.

"you need to watch where your going Rinika" Hiei said.

"ya…" Rinika replied blushing.

"I take it you killed that demon that was here earlier?" he asked. Rinika nodded. Hiei then sensed something, he pushed Rinika and Nikko out of the way as a massive tail hit the ground where they were previously standing. Nikko growled at the huge demon. "and it looks like it brought a friend" Hiei said in an annoyed voice, and then he drew his sword.

"not often you pull out that thing…" Rinika said, as she put a hand over the Sun Charm which was once again glowing. She looked up at the giant snake demon which snarled down at her.

"stay behind me Rinika" Hiei said, and he slashed at the giant demon with his sword. After a few minutes of aerial combat, Hiei appeared next to Rinika again.

"are you alright Hiei?!" she asked in a worried tone.

"fine" Hiei replied simply.

Rinika smiled, then she noticed that the demon was swinging its tail at Hiei. "Hiei watch out!" She exclaimed, and tried to get him out of the way, which resulted in her getting slashed across the back with the demons tail.

"RINIKA!" Hiei exclaimed. "are you ok!?" he asked.

Rinika lifted her head up and smiled softly at him. "ya, I'm just fine, don't worry about me Hiei." She said reassuringly.

Hiei helped her up, and stood in front of the demon, he then pointed his sword at it. The snake hissed and dove down at Hiei, who stuck his sword through its mouth, killing it.

Rinika hugged Hiei. "you killed it!" she said happily. Nikko wagged her tail.

Hiei blushed a bit and pulled her off, he looked into her eyes and smiled a bit. "are you sure your gonna be ok?" he asked once more.

"positive. I'm going to be just fine Hiei, don't worry, its just a lil scratch, that's all." Rinika replied flatly.

Hiei took her home, still a little worried as to whether she was really alright or not. When they reached her house Rinika smiled at Hiei and kissed him on the cheek. He then blushed a crimson color, and disappeared……
