"The Shikon no tama bursted out of your body!" Nicol asked. He and Mai sat in the living room on the ground with the jewel.
"It has been gone for"
"Decades," Mai finished. "Yeah, everyone knows that, so how come some model of the jewel looks exactly the same as the real jewel...well i think the jewel looks like that? And how did it get into my body in the first place?"
"No wrong," Nicol said and picked up the jewel. "This is no fake."
"You're telling me!" Tristan said as the gang sat down with Nicol and Mai.
"Let's talk." Tea said.
"First," Joey began. "that oricalko-wats it, surrounds us, and threatens to take our souls with its evil magic. Then you began to glow with magical colors.
Then you fell over and as your arm flew up, the jewel bursted out of your body and saved us."
"I guess," Mai shrugged. /i don't really get it. I've heard so many stories about, a sacred well, a magical tree,and a sacred jewel known as the Shikon no tama, Or Jewel of the 4 souls. But I never believed those stories...well untill yesterday. But was that real/
"Well," Nicol said grabbing the jewel and attaching it to a necklace. "You should gaurd it with your life, and be prepared. Someone might come after it"
Nicol handed the necklace to Mai. She put it over her neck.
"So the Shikon Jewel is back in the world, and it bursted out of a human?" Dartz said. Dartz was leading the Oricalkos Warriors.
"Yes Master Dartz." Rafael said bowing down to his master.
"So what would you like us to do with her?" Alister asked.
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to take the jewel?" Valon asked. "It could make us more stronger. And that thing is magical, isn't it"
"SO we seperate Valentine from her friends," Alister suggested. "grab her and take her along with us, and steal the sacred jewel"
"Fine I suppose so." Dartz said uninterested. "But you better do this right."
"yes master." Rafael,Alister,and Valon said as they bowed down to him.
It was morning
Mai layed on her bed, playing with the jewel around her neck. /why is this happening/ She thought. /I'm not magical or anything. I'm just a normal student,okay so right now normal wouldn't be a good word to describe me./ Mai sighed.
"Mai! Lacus is here!" Nicol called.
"Coming!" Mai yelled as she grabbed her back pack and ran out of her room, not realizing that the jewel was dangling around her neck and was easy to notice.
"Ready to go?" Lacus asked.
"You bet." Mai said nervously. /Ready? pff as if! I have a jewel that has just bursted out of my body,i have to protect it against anyone who dares to take it. And I'm not "normal that much anymore.hmm, i guess that's how Yugi feels about his millenium puzzle. And about the pharoh./
"You okay?" Lacus asked curiously. "You seem...different." Lacus became suspicious as she looked at Mai.
"uhh...about that..." Mai said trying to think up of something. /I'm not going to crack...I'm not going to crack/
"What is that!" Lacus asked taking the necklace off of Mai and putting the jewel in her hand.
/I cracked/
"Is this..." Lacus gasped. "The Shikon no tama- Jewel of the 4 souls?"
"umm...actually...yeah...it...is." Mai said gulping. "But please don't tell a single soul about this. I'll give you details later. I'm still trying to figure out something myself."
"I promise." Lacus nodded and smiled. They continued to walk to school together.
But Mai was unaware that a girl was watching her all day. She sighed. "I have to steal the jewel." She began to bite into her lip in regret
"Sorry Mai," the girl sighed. "But...the jewel...Someday...I'll give it back...someday." thought the girl.
(I'm welcome to any suggestions and what will happen next. I'll keep on trying to update whenever I can.)
