Taris found himself wandering the halls in the peak hours of the night. Not surprised at all, he lifted his head to find himself in front of Jubilee's door. He opened the door and walked in. His eyes hurt from the bright objects from the room so he squinted them. He was surprised she hadn't painted her walls neon green like she said she would. Her walls instead were a bright neon purple with yellow drawings scattered across them. Taris missed Jubilee. He missed everything about her, from her energetic bounce to her stubborn streak. He even liked her speach, packed full with: cool, awesome and like. Taris smirked. I wonder what makes her speak like that.

He sat on Jubilee's bed and pulled her favorite teddy bear whom she slept with every night into his arms.

"You are one lucky bear." He commented to the bear since Jubilee wasn't around to do it. He stood up again and walked over to her small stereo, turning it on to her favorite band he sighed. God I miss Jubes. Taris couldn't help his pained thoughts. He had fallen in love with Jubilation Lee and there was no way of coming back. He had tried to escape it, but of course, it hurt too much. Would he have to play cold shoulder with her to escape it? Just the thought of being away from her for an extended period of time hurt. One day you'll have to go back to Canada Taris, You can't become attached. Taris had been born and raised in Canada, his home with his parents sat up in the mountains. Becoming attached to Jubilee was a risk to his heart.

Unknown to Taris, Jade stood in the doorway to Jubilee's room. She was silently watching the tall boy dance to the firecrackers music. Her heart ached for him when he fell to his knees with his face in his hands, tears leaking through. She soundlessly shut the door and left her brother to cry his tears.

Taris lay collapsed on the floor, he couldn't take heartbreak again. He'd fallen in love with a girl from his home in Canada, when she left him for someone else, his heart had shattered. If he had to leave Jubilee, he would surely die. He was very emotional, so he didn't go into relationships much, but when he did, he put his whole heart into it.

Taris continued to lay there until his tears ceased, and his heart stopped racing before he stood. Taris slowly walked back to his room where he went to the bathroom and washed his face. Feeling more himself he sat down at his desk to do his unfinished homework.

"X-Men and apprentices, report to the front lobby now." Professor Xavier's voice echoed in Taris' head. Being an apprentice, Taris went to the appointed meeting place, jogging all the way. Upon arrival, he noticed he was the last one there. Sending a reproving glance his way, Scott turned to the unknown person. What first shocked Taris was the boy's green hair, then it was the white souless eyes that would haunt Taris' dream's for a long time to come.

"Everybody," Scott said drawing everyone's attention even though he already had it. "Ths is Jin Tago, otherwise known as the Soul Reaper."
