Mirage

-Sorry it's been awhile since I have updated this...You guys probably hate me now. But I was working on my new R/K story, 'Masquerade', which many of you might have already read. (And I noticed has a new feature on the review screen that lets you recommend stories...so if you guys could recommend my stories, I will be eternally grateful and may be persuaded to update faster. Well as fast as I can with my first day at high school coming up. But I have 'Creative writing' for my first class everyday for my first two terms, (cheers)so who knows?)

When I said that a black blade attacked Rei, I meant a black sword blade. And no, the raven is not a bit beast. Read and gain knowledge my loyal reviewer. .

Yay! I get candy bars! And Rei torture is fun, is it not? And if I ever

finish this, and if I ever decide to write a sequel

(cough-morereviews-cough) what about Kai torture?

You have no idea. When I write my stories, which probably takes a half hour per chapter, (because I keep thinking of things to change and things to add.) my imagination takes over. Scary, isn't it?

-Angelgirl10-

Poor Rei...But Kai will come to the rescue!

-SchoolBoredom-

Is this story really getting better with ever chapter?

-Platinum Rei-

Everybody seems really happy when I update...

Yes, it's a really big bird. Think the size of a SUV. And for a story to be good, you don't have to have a fast storyline. It's the little things that make a story good. (BTW-Your story, 'It's What I Want' is a really good story. I put it in my favorites!) So you want the motorcycle? I'll 'lend' to you if you want. And why would you need a thought bubble?

======================================================

"You're joking." "No I'm not." Kai sat down heavily on the ground, trying

to process the new information that Dr. Moon had told him. "Okay...let me

clarify that. You're Drigger?" "In human form, yes. But it's not my real

'human' form." "Than show me." "If you insist..." Drigger's eyes flashed,

covering him in a bright light. The light faded, revealing Drigger, wearing a

white short sleeved shirt under an open, knee length white Chinese coat,

which was lined with emerald green silk, the high collar, flared sleeves, and

hems embroidered with emerald green into swirling patterns. He also wore

white pants with the same embroidery on the hems. On his shoulders there

were golden spikes, and on his upper arms, wrists, and ankles he also had

golden bands with spikes, accenting tan skin. His long hair was swept back,

and hung loosely down to his lower back, with two pieces of hair bound

with gold satin and falling a little past his shoulders, showing off his

pointed ears and framing bright green/yellow eyes. A golden tiger tail

curled around his feet, near his white Chinese shoes. He placed his clawed

hands on his hips. A white eyebrow was raised. "Well?" Kai though for a

moment. "Can..." "Yes, Dranzer can do this too. But very few bit beasts

can change like he and I can. See for yourself. Come out Dranzer." A red

beam of light shot out of Kai's pocket, materializing into a figure the same

size as Drigger, crouching one knee. The light faded, and the figure stood

up. Dranzer was dressed in low-rise black jeans, a thick gold chain belt

loosely wrapped around his waist three times before it fell to the tops of his

black calf boots. He also wore a black tank top, under a floor length

sleeveless black coat lined with dark crimson silk, flames embroidered on

the high collar and hems. He had spiky dark red hair, with hidden golden

highlights that you could only see in the sunlight. He also had golden bangs

that framed eyes that burned like embers, a swirling mix of black and red. A

thick, black leather collar encircled his neck, matching his fingerless wrist

gloves, which had silver studs. His distinguishing features were talon-like

nails, along with three red phoenix tails, the middle larger that the other

two, and two black and dark red phoenix wings. Dranzer turned his eyes

towards Drigger. "Well? Why have you called me out? Have you found out

anything that could help us?" "I have found out where Raivan is hiding."

"What are you two talking about? We need to go and rescue Rei! I've read a

little about this Raivan, and I don't like what it says about what he does to

captives!" Kai shouted. He was losing his patience fast, and he didn't have

much to begin with. Dranzer turned to Drigger again, having turned to Kai

at his sudden outburst. "Rei has been taken by him? That is very bad. Now

he could get the Moon Stone, and combined with the Star Stone he stole..."

Drigger sighed. "This is all my fault. If I had just watched him closer..." "It

isn't your fault, Drig. You didn't know the bastard would go after him so

quickly. Besides, he doesn't have the Sun stone, and he needs all three in

order to call forth Ahreji." "Can someone please tell me what is going on?

What's a Star Stone, a Moon Stone and a Sun Stone? And who's Ahreji?"

"It's too open here to tell you everything. We need to get back to the

Temple. Dranz, open the portal." Dranzer opened his wings and flew to the

beginning of the path that led to the clearing. Dranzer looked at Kai's

motorcycle. "I'll just warp this back to your house for the moment..." he

snapped his fingers, and ignoring Kai's glare, he made the motorcycle

disappear in a flash of light. "Okay. Drig, you might want to put on those

glasses I gave you. I know your eyes are sensitive to really bright lights."

Dranzer held out a hand, palm up, a fiery orb hovering above it. "Hold on

people. It's gonna be a bumpy ride." Dranzer's eyes began to glow, as did

the clearing. Drigger put on glasses with darkened lenses, and gave a pair to

Kai, who did the same. The fiery orb glowed, and then burst, releasing light

as bright as the sun, and also strong winds. It was so bright, even with the

glasses that Kai had to duck his head under his arm. The light subsided, and

Kai uncovered his head. He blinked. They were in the same clearing, but

there were differences. What he saw first was a large rainbow crystal

obelisk, etched with symbols. There were two others, one made of a white,

opalescent stone, the other, a dark, deep black stone. All three were placed

in a triangle, the crystal one at the point, and they were standing in the

middle of them, on a white marble triangular platform. Drigger opened his

arms to the sight. "Welcome Kai, to the Temple."

=====================================================

Oh boy. You guys weren't expecting that, were you. But all will be explained. I know once again it is mostly descriptions. And very short. But it will be better next chapter.
