My Light in Pitch Black
Chapter 2:
Meeting Sapphire

Ren grumbled under his breath. Pirika had past out during the 5 hour flight from Tokyo to China. Probably because she was in the washroom when Ren's private jet went through 'minor technical difficulties' aka terbulance (sp?).

Now they were sitting in one of the many living rooms in their mansion.

"Ren?" He turned around only to see a groggy Pirika. Knowing her questions, he replied, "Rest for a while. I'm going to go to the kitchen and get us some food."

Wanting to freshen up, Pirika got up and headed towards the opposite side of where Ren left. Well, if the kitchen was that way, the washroom got to be this way.

After many minutes of wandering around, Pirika found herself lost in the maze of this mansion. Since she had no other choice, she decided to knock on one of the many doors.

:knock knock:

The door slowly opened, revealing a pair of red, half-opened eyes. Those eyes belonged to a girl in white baggy pajamas. She has black hair with red streaks. The girl yawned before asking, "Hai, how may I help you?"

"Um…Can you show me where the nearest washroom is?" Pirika said, feeling guilty for waking the girl.

The girl seemed more awake now and she opened the door completely. "You can use mine," she said, leading Pirika to a door.

When Pirika got in, she looked at the time. It read 3:15. Wow, that girl was still sleeping? After she finished, she left the washroom, hoping to thank the girl but when she went out, there was no one there. "Um…hello?" she said nervously

"Yeah, hang on. I'm changing," came her voice from behind the doors of the closet. Probably a walk-in closet, considering how rich Ren is. Pirika thought as she sat down on a pink bean bag chair, checking her phone for any new messages or missed calls.

When the girl came out, she was wearing a black cloak, pinned together by circle-shaped sapphire, surrounded by smaller shards of crystal and ruby. The black cloak covered her entire figure except her head.

As if not feeling Pirika's gaze, she sat down next to Pirika. "So what are you doing here?" she asked politely.

"I'm here with my boyfriend because he was called here."

"I see."

For the following hour, they will just talk about everything, so let's jump 'til one hour later.

#ONE HOUR LATER #

"Oh my gosh, it's 4:15 already? I got to go. Can you take me to the living room?" Pirika asked jumping up.

The girl nodded as she and Pirika got up and walked down the halls. As they were talking, the girl suddenly realized something. "I've been talking to you for an hour. I have your cell number but not your name."

The 2 giggled slightly, then Pirika said, "I'm Pirika Usui."

"Sapphire Valentines, nice to meet you," the girl said as she punched in Pirika's name next to her number on her cell.

When they reached the living room, Ren was nowhere in site. But on the sofa was a note.

After reading the note, Pirika sighed. "How am I suppose to go to 'the meeting room'?"

Sapphire smiled. "That I can help you." So once again the 2 girls walked down yet another hall until they came to a door with Jun standing outside.

Upon seeing them, Jun ran up to the 2. "Sapphire! Where were you? Quickly, put on your hood and get inside!" Then Jun spotted Pirika. "Pirika? I thought he was lying when he said he brought you along. But I think it's best if you get inside too."

When they got inside, zombies greeted them, ready to punch the life out of the girls.

But before the zombies could react, Sapphire pulled out a sword with a hilt made of bones and started to attack the zombies. The blade part of her weapon was rectangular shaped and only one side was sharp. Within a minute, Sapphire had defeated 3 zombies twice her size. "Crystal! Ruby! I know you're there!Cut it out!" she shouted to someone invisible to Pirika. And immediately, the zombies stopped moving and started backing away.

Then they heard En's voice say, "Not bad. Not bad at all."

A wall of crystals melted and everything became clear. En and Ran are sitting on their chairs. (En is in his human form, not the giant) Beside them sat Jun and Bai Long. Standing next to En was 2 people in cloaks and hoods. One was in a white cloak held up by a circular crystal with shards of sapphire and ruby. The other was in a grey cloak with a circle-shaped ruby and a circle of sapphire and crystal shards surrounding it. Ren, Pirika and Sapphire stood in front of them all.

"Anyone care to explain anything to me?" Ren said, crossing his arms.

Sapphire turned to him as if just knowing he was there. "Ren! Great to see you again!"

Ren and Pirika blinked in surprise. "You are?" Ren said, trying to identify the one behind the black hood.

"Ring any bells?" Sapphire said, taking off her hood as her black hair flowed elegantly over her shoulder.

The one in the white cloak slapped her own forehead (though it was under the hood). "Sapphire! You weren't suppose to take off your hood until the arrangements were all agreed on!"

Sapphire stared at the white cloak, utterly confused. "I wasn't?" she asked innocently.

The one in the grey cloak laughed. "And you said you're trying to save me? At this rate, Crystal's going to switch us back any second."

Sapphire faked a cough. "Well excuse me for trying to save you. At least I can pull a better Goth than you!"

The one in the white cloak, named Crystal, cleared her throat. "Sapphire, Ruby, behave yourselves."

"I know, Ruby," Sapphire stuck her tongue out at the grey cloak before replacing her own hood.

Ren and Pirika stared at the scene, utterly confused. Then Ren repeated his question, "Anyone care to explain anything to me?"

"Sapphire's your fiancée," En said quickly, as if trying to get it over with.

"What!" the three cried in unison.

"Why wasn't I told anything? You said Ruby did something to the Tao's and was to be punished!" Sapphire directed her two sisters.

"Because," Ruby, the grey cloaked one, said, "if we told you the truth, you wouldn't have agreed to come here."

"And Ren, honey, you can't complain," Ran said sweetly, "we met most of your expectations. She is a) not a random girl -you met her before, remember? -, b) a strong shaman and c) well, c we couldn't do. AS you can tell, she's not gothic."

Sapphire's red eyes glowed demonically. "You mean to tell me, for the past 3 months, you two have been 'darkening my outlook of the world' for him?" she said, pointing a finger at Ren. (XD I took that line from Danny Phantom)

Ruby motioned her hands for Sapphire to calm down. "No need to cause a commotion here, Sapph," she said tranquilly. But Sapphire seemed beyond control, for a reddish-black aura formed around her. Ruby hid behind the white cloak. "Crystal, Help!"

Crystal sighed. From her cloak, she pulled out a bag labeled 'Chocolate-filled chocolate sprinkled, chocolate flavored, chocolate coated sugar cubes' and tossed it to Sapphire.

Immediately, the aura disappeared and she picked up the bag. "OOoOoOoOo! Chocolate! My favourite," and thus began eating.

Everyone sweat-dropped then realized something was wrong. Ren hadn't been complaining. When they turned to his direction, Ren was nowhere to be seen.

"Sapphire," Crystal shouted, "You got a new mission."

Sapphire blinked and widened her sugary red eyes.

"GO FETCH YOUR FIANCÉ!"
