A Red Light

Rage Motosuwa walked wearily through the front doors of her high school at what she considered an ungodly hour of the morning. She had no idea why her parents insisted she came here since she already knew everything they tried to teach her. She yawned as she tiredly stumbled towards her locker. A tight black Greenday t-shirt paired with tight dark blue flares with black Chinese dragons traveling up the outer seams and a pair of black Nikes were her chosen attire for the day. Her pentacle and an uncountable amount of black, red, and silver gel bracelets accompanied her clothes. Her slightly wavy obsidian hair with its infamous fire-like tips was tied up in a high ponytail and covering her cloud gray eyes was a pair of oval black sunglasses with silver frames.

" Nice threads, Rage." came a voice from behind her. She turned to see her best and only friend in school standing behind her. Her friend, Jade, had wild red hair and forest green eyes and was wearing a loose plain gray t-shirt and her usual black carpenter pants with no label white shoes. Jade also wore a pentacle since they were both Wiccas.

" Dido on that note, Jade" she said and gave a solitary nod of approval. She reached deep into the back of her locker, gripped the object she was looking for, and pulled it out to reveal that it was a black iPod Player with flames painted on it.

" Do you ever go any where with out that thing?" asked Jade. Rage clutched the iPod protectively.

" How dare you Sparks an IT! How would you like it if I called Elsie an IT!" said Rage with deep hints of sarcasm.

" You wouldn't dare!" She yelled with sarcastic drama as she placed the back of her hand on her forehead.

" And it's your baby Dredrik" shouted Rage with drama as she quoted a line from her mom's favorite soap opera.

" How can it be my baby, Emily? I'm gay!" answered Jade as she quoted the next line of the show that her mother also watched.

" While you were in a comma I visited the hospital for a check-up they accidentally injected me with your sperm."

" Oh No! How will my boyfriend Fredrick react to this!"

" Since when do you two date anyone other than each other, Lesbian Losers!" said the schools prep queen, Libya as she walked by.

" Bite me, you bitch!" yelled Jade.

" No, thank you! I might catch HIV or even worse, FREAK!" said Libya in a disgusted tone. Rage approached her dangerously causing Libya to back up against the lockers on the opposite side of the hall.

" Listen to me you fucking Barbie Princess", She said venomously, withdrew a switchblade from her back pocket, and held it to Libya's throat, " If you ever talk to or even approach me or Jade ever again I willslowly mutilate and tortureyou with this switchblade 'til the halls of this highscholl are painted red with your preppy lil' blood. Got it, bitch queen." Libya squeaked something that sounded like a yes and nodded her head weakly. Rage moved back just enough for Libya to leave. Then she closed her switchblade and put it back in her back pocket with one quick swift movement of her wrist.

" Well, that was fun. Shall we go to our torture now?" said Rage once she had relaxed.

" See ya later, Jade!" said Rage she slammed the door to her locker.

" Yeah, are you sure you don't want to the movies with me and Jennie?" asked Jade.

" I don't want to interfere with your time with your sister. Besides, I have some research to do for my Myths and Legends class."

" Okay well, I guess I'll call you later!" called Jade as she got into her partner Jennie's car.

" 'Kay, I'll talk to you then!" Rage called back. She caught a city bus that headed towards the library. Once she arrived she instantly headed up towards the research section of the library.

The moment she neared the door she knew something big was going to happen. She withdrew her hand from the knob for a moment then entered the room. She felt instantly drawn towards one of the many shelves. On the shelf was a book with a worn red leather cover.

' The Forgotten Book of the Universe of the Four Gods, interesting title for a research book. It probably got misplaced.' She thought as she settled herself comfortably on the floor with the book. She noticed that the first few pages were an introduction so she skipped them and went straight to the story.

" This is the story of a girl whose final wish was to be forgotten. This girl was the Suzaku Angel which is necessary to call upon Suzaku in his ceremony. Her story started in the research room of an old library with a book that had an unusually and intriguing title." She read out loud. Suddenly she was surrounded by a warm red light. She dropped the book in surprise as she felt herself being drawn away from our world and into another.

A/N: Here's the second chapter. I'd like to thank Aderine No Miko for being my first and only reveiwer so far. This chapter was mostly here so everyone could get to know Rage a little better. Hope you liked it! Please Reveiw!
