Chapter One: "The Secret Revival Stone"
"The Revival Stone?" Suzumi asked raising a brow. "That's right, well, at least that's what the woman said," Aya shrugged. It was night and Aya was sitting in the Aogiri's house at the table with Suzumi, Mrs. Q, Shuro, and Yuhi. "A woman?" Shuro asked. "Yeah...but I didn't SEE her," Aya sighed. "Well why don't we try calling Ceres? She might know something," Yuhi suggested. Aya nodded and closed her eyes, focusing on Ceres. Suddenly a strong psychic energy left Aya's body and her hair changed black and her blue eyes suddenly turned dark into the crimson brown color. "You called?" Ceres's voice came into place. "Ceres, we need some information on a woman who can freeze time and knows about this 'Revival Stone' do you know anything?" Suzumi asked.
"Well it does sound familiar, there was this Tennyo woman called Reika who had the power to heal wounds, use her prayers to save people from death, and stop time, but eventually she was in a battle against Shiso who sealed her powers into the Rosetta stone. Later a group of Tennyo found her remains of clothing and a pile of ash, but the Rosetta stone was among the heap and had the power to revive the dead by one pure wish. The stone was changed to the simple name of the 'Revival Stone'" Ceres explained. "So there is a way to bring Chidori back?" Yuhi's eyes widened with hope. "Yes...but only ONE can be revived, I have the power to call the Rosetta stone and have each of you talk together and come up with one wish," Ceres said. "So...only one of the two can return? What about Toya?" Suzumi asked. Ceres shook her head, "...Only one," she replied.
"This isn't going to be easy," Shuro sighed. "Come on! Chidori needs to be revived, Toya did what he could, he's gone and that's that!" Yuhi pounded his fist into the table. "But Aya will never forgive herself if Toya doesn't return, and besides, she'll kill you if she found out that we had the chance to bring him back," Suzumi argued. "What about Chidori? They were friends!" Toya said. "Calm down, let Aya answer for herself," Ceres said, "I'll give you three days to come up with the wish, but that is as long as I can keep Reika's presence in my status, every new moon her soul drifts off the earth's plain," She explained. "Then this moon we wish for Chidori's revival, and the next one we'll wish for Toya's," Yuhi replied. "It isn't that simple, because of the one hundred good Tennyo deeds we served, Reika has blessed Aya with the prayer of the Rosetta stone and is enabled to have one wish granted, but there is no second chance," Ceres explained.
"I see...this is a tough decision," Shuro shook her head. Ceres closed her eyes feeling faint and suddenly changed back into Aya. "Sorry I was beginning to wonder what was going on, was it too soon?" She asked. Suzumi, Mrs. Q, Shuro, and Yuhi were both staring at the floor with shocked looks. "What...happened?" Aya asked. Silence. "What in the hell HAPPENED?" Aya demanded. "Aya...dear," Suzumi began. Aya turned her gaze to Suzumi who was nervously clearing her throat. "Ceres has told us that an ancient Tennyo has bestowed her blessing upon you using the Rosetta stone, a great power sealed away that has the ability to revive a soul from the dead. But here is the tricky situation...you can only wish ONE back from the dead, and ONE only...there are no second chances or blessings," She explained. Aya's eyes widened in disbelief, "You're kidding...right?" She asked laughing slightly. "We aren't joking Aya, it's true," Shuro stated seriously. "But...I can't choose between my best friend and...HIM!" Aya bit her lip. "Tch, forget Toya! I need to have Chidori come back, I have to talk to her, I have to tell her..." Yuhi trailed. Aya, Suzumi, and Shuro gave him a blank stare. "Dammit, Aya make up your mind!" Yuhi sighed. "Well?" Suzumi turned to Aya. "What do you say?" Shuro asked. "Let's all VOTE!" Mrs. Q announced. "Vote? Mrs. Q! This is a matter of life and death here, we can't be running a democracy!" Yuhi scolded. "She has a point Yuhi, if we vote then..." Aya cut Shuro off. "No voting! Why is it everyone is counting on me or some random VOTE? These are our FRIENDS you guys!" She cried. "Then let's talk to Toya and Chidori and ask THEM!" Suzumi said. "What? But how can we do that?" Aya asked. "It's easy, Aya, you focus on one of my magic fans and call on Toya, and Yuhi, you focus on the other fan and think of Chidori, you both call on them and you will hear their voices when falling into a labyrinth like trance to discuss the situation, once your sixty minutes are up, you can talk about what you learned from them and we'll work from there," Suzumi explained. "I think we're gambling it a bit," Shuro cocked a brow.
"I want to talk to Chidori," Yuhi said. "And I want to speak with Toya," Aya agreed. "Okay, then you'll do it?" Suzumi asked. The two nodded. "Alright, then let the spell begin!" Suzumi shouted.
