"Well, like she said, I'm her Aunty, and my name is Kijin," Kijin explained as she darted her eyes nervously around the room.
"Just Kijin? You don't have a last name?" Seto asked defensively.
"She's my aunty, and the other two girls are my cousins," Shizuka explained to Seto as she pushed his blocking arm down. "They wouldn't do anything to hurt me." She swiftly passed Seto's arm and went to her scowling Aunty and cousins.
"I missed you so much, Aunty Kijin!" Shizuka exclaimed as she gripped Kijin like she did Mrs. Wheeler. "I was growing so crazy without you here, Aunty, that I actually mistook that other woman for you." She rubbed her face in the waistline of her Auntie's dress.
Mrs. Wheeler bowed her head, and she still couldn't help but feel a bit lonely without Shizuka hugging her. 'She belongs with her Aunty now....'
"Oh really?" Seto asked as he saw Shizuka smile in front of her Aunty Kijin. "Do these...people have wings as well? And where exactly are you guys from? Tokyo? Kyoto? A magical blue cloud that's the home of all the faeries in the universe?"
Shizuka ignored Seto, while the counselor stared at Seto disapprovingly. Kijin thought about the boy's perceptiveness nervously as she ran a loving finger through Shizuka's silky hair. 'It's so nice to have her back where she belongs again....Hmmm...But that boy knows more than he's supposed to...'
"Seto, remember when we discussed the word 'paranoia' with you?" The counselor asked as she put a hand on one of his shoulders.
Anzu and Mai, who had been silent for awhile, raised their eyes and had malicious teasing written all over their faces.
"Oooh, someone's being a bit defensive, isn't he Shizuka? Awwww! I think he's worried about you," Anzu teased, causing Shizuka to slightly turn a few hues redder.
"Did you make a boyfriend on you little adventure, Shizuka?" Mai asked, making Shizuka glad that her face was buried in her Auntie's dress.
"Please," Seto rolled his eyes as he vanished the little red sprinkles that were forming a wave of blush on his face.
Kijin turned her head sharply so she could glare at Mai and Anzu. "Neither of you have the right to speak to Shizuka in that manner, or to speak to her at all! Do you understand me?" She hissed, causing shivers to rumble all over Anzu and Mai's bodies.
"Yes ma'am," and they both bowed down their heads in unison.
"Good," Kijin snapped as she returned her focus to Shizuka. "I missed you so much, my dear Shizuka. You have no idea how worried I was when I realized that you were missing." She returned to relaxingly petting her glossy auburn locks.
"Yeah, Shizuka, you have no idea," Anzu muttered under her breath.
Seto squinted his eyes again at the outfit that the four freaks were wearing. "Where are you from, anyway? You aren't dressed to be from around here, unless you're from a theatre group-"
"SETO!!!" The counselor gasped as she firmed her grasp on his shoulder. "Apologize to them!"
"I was simply interrogating. Just look at what they're wearing! I'm just asking the questions that you're too polite to ask," He explained as his eyes just bit at the three faeries and one young human girl.
"We're from...the hills," Kijin asked more than explained right before the counselor started to scold Seto.
"What hills?" Seto asked reflexively.
"Do you mean the hills about a mile south from here? You live down in those villages?" The counselor asked skeptically.
"...Yeah....Shizuka must've been playing towards the bottom of the hill and got lost. She must've wandered off into town and somehow must've gotten her way into the garden of the orphanage. Heh...You know how little children love to explore." Kijin practically bit her lip off as she prayed that the counselor would buy her story.
"I didn't know that the village people dressed like that. In fact, I didn't know that there were villages in those hills. But please tell me something, are all the people in those villages faeries, too?"
"I'm sorry, Aunty, I really didn't want him to know," Shizuka mumbled ever so quietly into her Auntie's dress. "I'm really sorry." She started to feel tears warm up her face again.
"Seto! You have been a little troublemaker today!" The counselor grabbed Seto's shoulder with Seto screaming threats, and she pushed him passed the group of four women, and into some strange hallway which echoed the sounds of his persistent calls.
"Oh, there, there, Shizuka," Kijin cooed, "It'll all be alright. Err, Miss? May I speak with my nieces and daughter in a private room, please?" She asked the receptionist who was bust staring at some documents on her computer screen.
She jerked her head up at the sound of someone calling her name. "A private room? Sure, follow me," she said as she closed some programs on her PC and rose out of her chair.
¢¾

¢¾
¢¾
"Here's your room," The receptionist said as she opened the door of what was obviously a playroom. small toys and gizmos occupied the four corners of the medium-sized room, and there were many colorful tables that were set at strange angles that also had toys resting atop their surfaces. Squiggly lines on many different colors decorated the walls of the room, and the sounds of children playing were heard just behind the two large glass doors that were covered with large, off-white vertical blinds.
"Thank you," Kijin gratified as she lead the three girls inside behind her. The receptionist nodded as she left and closed the door behind her.
Kijin quickly opened the door carefully so that she didn't make even a tiny squeak, and didn't close the door until she was satisfied that the receptionist was clearly walking down the hallway.
"Ok, Shizuka," Kijin said as she finally locked the door tightly. She looked at her niece with water dwelling in her beautiful, exotic eyes. "Please, tell me how this happened to you."
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
"Shizuka, Shizuka, Shizuka....You are no normal girl...."
Seto paced all over the small spare room that he had been placed in. Being sepulchered in this small cell was obviously not entertaining, so his mind really had no other focus than to be entranced by this newcomer, and her so-called family--And being locked in a small room with no other thoughts than the origin of Shizuka was true if you were talking about the state of condition that Seto was in, until he heard the receptionist's voice direct someone to their room.......
The sound couldn't have been too far away if Seto was able to hear it from his little grave of a room. He walked to the door of his little room, and bent down on his hands and knees to peek under the his door and into the hallway.
And, unbelievably, the room he heard the receptionist lead people into was the very room that was exactly across from the room Seto was kept in. But all Seto really cared about was that he saw, in this order, Kijin, Anzu, Mai, and little Shizuka trailing behind enter the room after the receptionist.
"Hmmm...Interesting," he mumbled as he saw the receptionist leave the room and walk down the hallway. But what he found much more interesting was that Kijin continued to nervously glance down the hallway until the sounds of the receptionist's shoes slowly dwindled away.
"I could be a good little boy and stay where the counselor told me to...Yeah, right!"
And with that lurking evilly in his mind, he decided to venture out into hallway. The counselor told him that he was locked in and that any efforts to escape the room would be useless, but Seto knew very well that the counselors were idiots and lied to him about the whole locked-in thing. [It was a way to discourage him from sneaking out.]
So, he stealthily reached for the doorknob, and he even more furtively twisted it.
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
"Finally," he breathed as the musty air of the hallway hit him, "I'm free.....Now, to find out what our little visitor is hiding from us...."
And for the first time in his life, that cold, mean, evil, vicious, twisted smirk came onto his face. He was planning something....And how ironic would it be that the very leer that was created due to the appearance of Shizuka would be the one thing that Shizuka, or better yet, Serenity, would learn to loath so deeply..
He walked over to the door directly across from him, and he put his ear to the door. But, unfortunately for Seto, the door was way too thick for anyone to eavesdrop on Kijin and Shizuka's conversation.
Seto was getting a bit irritated, but that irritated feeling was cancelled out when Seto remembered the informational quest he was on. So, he bent down on his hands and knees like he did earlier, and he peeked through the three inch opening at the bottom of the door.
But what he saw caused him to gasp so loudly, that he had to bite down on his tongue to keep from yelling....
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
"I'm so sorry they did this to you, Shizuka," Kijin breathed as she hugged her niece so tightly. "I never knew that they were capable of doing that."
Seto could easily see that behind Shizuka and Kijin, Anzu was being lifted into the air by a purple light that was dragging her ear. Mai, on the other hand was saying something about Kijin not telling this to her mother.
"Oh please, Aunty Kijin! I've learned my lesson, honestly I have, but my mother will destroy me if she ever finds out what I did!" Mai pleaded, but to no use for Kijin was busy explaining something to Shizuka.
"Owww! MOM! THIS HURTS!!!!" Anzu whined as her ear felt like it was about to be ripped apart from her body.
Kijin mumbled something about being quiet as she stared at Shizuka. "But Shizuka," Kijin said anxiously as she frowned. "How were you able to become human. I mean, when I last saw you, you were only able to make very small puppies. What happened? How did your magic get so strong?"
It took about a minute for Shizuka to come to a logical explanation to her auntie's question. "I think," she said as she looked down and had a sudden interest with her feet, "That I remembered when you said that the strength of my wish will prove itself if I am really determined."
"So you had a lot of determination....But how did you become human?"
"I don't know. I was gonna create a whole new person for the boy, but I pointed my wand and asked if the boy could have a forever-lasting, human friend-"
"Forever lasting?"
"Yes," Shizuka answered as tears began to fall from her cheeks. "Aunty, am I gonna be a human forever?"
"Oh, no, no!" Kijin explained as she wiped away the tears from Shizuka's eyes. "No, we just have to figure out what you did wrong in your wish for you to become....a fairy again."
Kijin lowered her eyes, "Hum tumay raat ko lagigain," She said using Fairy Babble as she caressed Shizuka's cheek.
"Aunty," Shizuka started to say as her cheeks felt many tears, "I can't understand you," she barely whispered.
Hearing this, Kijin felt like crying as well. So, she mumbled something, using Japanese, but in a magically low hertz.
"Aunty," Shizuka spoke, "Now I can't hear you."
Kijin gulped, "Shizuka...It'll all be alright. Don't you worry, we'll get you back to normal. We can't leave right now, the people at the orphanage will get suspicious, and there are much too many people for me to cast a forgetful spell on. But, during the night when they're all asleep, the four of us will finally go back to our home up in the heavens. Does that sound good?"
Shizuka nodded tentatively.
"But Mother--OWWWW!" Anzu started to speak, "Shizuka's a human now, so how can she go back home to the fairy world?"
"I'll find a way," Kijin clarified. "I won't rest easily until I know that all is well with you, Shizuka."
"Lordy," Mai huffed, "It's like she cares more about Shizuka than she does about you, Anzu." Anzu frowned.
"That's not true, Mai," Anzu snapped, trying to ignore the pain on her ear that her mother had inflicted upon her.
"Aunty, are you guys humans too?" Shizuka asked.
"No, Shizuka dear we're not. We're fairies in human form. We don't have wings, but we are capable of doing any spell we want, and we are visible to every human," Kijin explained.
"SETO!!! You have a LOT of explaining to DO, young MAN!!!" It was the familiar voice of the counselor that screamed this line. Immediately, Kijin shut her mouth from saying anything else, the purple light dragging Anzu's ear disappeared and dropped Anzu on the floor, and little Shizuka gasped nervously.
"I'm sorry," The counselor said as she opened the door of the room, holding Seto by his ear. "But Seto decided to join the conversation. Apologize!" She screeched.
"NO! I heard them talking, and I was right! They ARE faeries, and that one turned herself into a human, and she's upset because she doesn't know if she's ever gonna become a fairy again. And the rest of them are faeries in disguises!" He screamed angrily back at the counselor while he pointed a defiant finger to Shizuka.
"I've heard just about enough," The counselor muttered with gritted teeth. "You are staying outside where the other counselors can keep an eye on you." And she started dragging him by his ear to the end of the room which had large glass windows draped with blinds. She pulled a cord at the end of the window, and instantly many blinds parted to reveal two stunning glass doors. She opened the door, and practically threw him out of it.
"You wait and see! One day I'm gonna become a rich, rich man and I'm gonna sue this place!" Seto screamed in return as the counselor ignored him and closed the glass door.
"Yeah, sure kid. Keep dreaming," She mumbled as she picked up the cord to close the blinds.
"No...wait!" Kijin exclaimed as she hastily grabbed Shizuka's arm and took her to the glass doors.
"Yes, Mrs....Kijin?"
"Could Shizuka go out with the boy and play with him. I think it will do her well to play with other children her age, and I do need to talk with my daughter and other niece privately for a moment," Kijin explained.
"You want your daughter to play with Seto?" The counselor seemed baffled and a bit fearful for Shizuka. But after a moment, "Uhh...Sure. She can follow me and I'll take her outside."
"Thank you, now Shizuka, be a good girl and if the counselors tell you to do something, listen to them, ok sweetie?"
Shizuka nodded her head uncertainly as she stared at her Aunty in disbelief. Shizuka and the counselor stepped outside into the main playground, and the counselor didn't return back to the room.
¢¾
"Ok you two," Kijin hissed as she stared at Mai and Anzu. "Shizuka's in grave danger."
"You never called me 'sweetie'," Anzu snapped. "And you were never so worried over me!"
"Well, the state of your fairyhood was never jeopardized before," Kijin retorted as she glared at Anzu and Mai.
"Aunty Kijin, are you saying that Shizuka may never become a fairy again?" Mai asked with actual worry on her face.
Kijin turned away from the two girls and wrung her hands nervously. "Girls," She started pacing in a small circle, "It wasn't only determination that helped Shizuka's magic become so strong." She looked at the girls for a second before continuing with her pacing and explanation again. "Anzu, you know how Shizuka's real parents were very strong, correct? Well, there's something you should know about their powers...."
"Shizuka's parents were really strong faeries?" Mai asked in a state of confusion.
"That's what my mom told me," Anzu answered a bit jealously.
"Yes, Mai, they were very strong faeries. My brother, Shizuka's father, and my sister-in-law, Shizuka's mother were two extremely powerful faeries. But, being the kindhearted faeries that they were, they used their powers to protect defenseless faeries. They fought against followers of the Dark Acids--a group of faeries that vowed to use their magic for nothing more than terror and destruction. Anyway, they were...well, Mai?"
"Yes Aunty?"
"Do you know what makes your mother's magic stronger?"
"Yeah, when my mother's near real marble, my mom can make her spells up to 150 times more powerful," Mai exclaimed.
"How can she make them more powerful?" Anzu asked.
"I was getting to that. Anzu, every fairy has something somewhere out there that can make their wishes stronger. Your father's was a leave of a maple tree, and mines is being anywhere near flowers, which is what you have too," Kijin explained.
"So...My magic is stronger when I'm near flowers?"
"Yes, and Mai, you have your mother's as well."
"I knew that, I'm no clueless Anzu," Mai said. "But what's this got to do with Shizuka?"
"Girls, do you know what can increase the strength of a fairy's magic who was or is as strong as Shizuka's parents were?"
"No," They answered in unison.
"Fairies that are as strong as Shizuka's parents were, well, is the presence of the moon--any moon-- in their atmosphere," Kijin clarified, "And no doubt Shizuka inherited her parents' powers, so not only is her magic genetically very strong, but she had a lot of determination within her to get back home, and, tonight must be a night for earth's full moon to appear."
"Wait," Anzu looked at her mother with an unbelieving look on, "Shizuka, our Shizuka, has the magical strength of both her parents who were incredibly strong?"
"And if both her mother and father's magic was affected by the moon, then so is hers?" Mai interrogated.
"And because there's a full moon tonight, and Shizuka granted the wish today, her wish had a lot more power to it?" Anzu asked again.
Kijin nodded her head three clear times. "I'm not sure whether or not I can reverse Shizuka's wish. I mean, there were very powerful factors that strengthened her magic....."
"But, Aunty Kijin," Mai looked at her Aunt skeptically, "If the moon affects Shizuka so much, then will it do anything to her when she sees the full moon tonight?"
Kijin lowered her head and prayed for help for Shizuka.
"Mai, I fear that if Shizuka's body, even just a small particle of it, is hit with the direct light of the moon, then she will be forever made into a human...."

In the main playground, by a small corner of a wooden sandbox, a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl stood ten feet apart, their faces flushed with anger, [and a bit of blush] and tempers that were getting way out of control...
"Why do you keep persisting me with that same question?" Shizuka screamed at Seto.
"I won't stop until I get a decent answer from you," Seto explained, keeping a calm voice.
"My Aunty told you where we were from-"
"But that answer makes no sense!"
"Well, what do you know about sense? You're the crazy one going around with theories about faeries!"
"They're not theories, and you know that you little chameleon!"
"Prove it!"
"When I first saw you, you had wings! And you appeared out of some ugly cloud!"
"My, my, the counselors were right! You do have a too vivid imagination!"
"I know the difference between imagination and reality, and what I saw you as wasn't imagination!"
"But you still don't have any proof!"
"I heard you talking-"
"KIDS!!! COME INSIDE IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!!!"
"I hope that you know a little dinner break won't stop my quest to find out who you really are!" Seto explained as he angrily stomped off, mumbling something about bad timing.
"Oooh! I'm so scared!" Shizuka snapped back. "What an annoying boy," she mumbled. "Though, he is pretty cute...."
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
Most of the kids, and one counselor, were sitting in the same room Shizuka had been in earlier after dinner was finished. Shizuka, sitting nauseously in a corner of the room, [The human food upset her stomach] kept moaning about how she hated earth, while one little boy came up to her
At first, Shizuka was too busy worrying about this new feeling in her stomach than to notice him, but when he said, "Hi!" Shizuka jumped nervously, and eventually decided to make conversation with the boy.
"You were fighting with my brother today, I saw you," He explained as he shuffled some cards he held in his hands, though he wasn't very good at it.
"I didn't fight with your brother," Shizuka sighed, "the only kid I even spoke with was this annoying brat named Seto. Oh my God! He is soooooooo annoying!"
Mokuba looked at her with a confused expression on, "That's my brother, Seto!"
Shizuka looked surprisingly at Mokuba's raven hair and purple eyes, along with his tanned skin. "You...don't look a thing like him."
Mokuba shrugged. "My name's Mokuba, what's yours?"
"Shizuka," she proudly answered. "I'm sorry I called your brother annoying. I'm normally not so mean, but your brother...Ugh! He brings out this annoying feeling in me that I.....Uhh!..."
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
Anzu and Mai watched Shizuka from the other side of the room. Absentmindedly playing with dolls, they were both filled with anger towards Shizuka.
"Personally," Anzu said, "I wouldn't mind if Shizuka stayed a human FOREVER!"
"Keep your voice down," Mai reminded, "Aunty Kijin would kill you if she heard you say that!"
"My mother loves Shizuka soooooooo much, but totally hates me." Anzu viciously ran the brush through her doll's hair, "And I've had just about enough of it! She's my mother, Mai! Not Shizuka's!"
":Sigh: But what can we do about it Anzu?"
"I don't really want to hurt her, Mai. But for once, I wish my mother would show some love for me instead of the perfect one!"
"Where is your mother, anyway?"
"She's probably speaking with the counselors." Anzu lowered her voice, "She's gonna see if we can spend the night here, and when all the little kiddies and counselors are asleep, we make a run for it!"
¢¾
¢¾
¢¾
Seto stood quietly on another side of the room, watching Shizuka talk to his brother.
"I heard you talking to her before, and I saw you staring at her all through dinnertime too," A gruff voice explained from behind Seto.
"So?" Seto asked angrily.
"Who is she?" A fat kid appeared to the side of Seto. One of Mokuba's most hated bullies, he wore a smelly green jersey, and had his eyes naturally lowered to give off a malicious aura. He was really fat. And Seto hated this kid more than he could even articulate.
"That's what I've been trying to figure out," Seto explained. "And why are you so interested in her?"
"I don't know, but she seems weird. There's something about her...."
"Yeah, she is rather intriguing..." The fat kid looked at Seto with a dumfounded face.
"It means that she's very, very interesting," Seto explained, annoyed.
"Ok, kids! Tonight's a full moon night, so who wants to see it!" A counselor was standing right in front of the room's window. She had the cord to the blinds in her hands, and she looked happily over the young and eager faces of the children who were excited to see the moon.
Shizuka, who had never seen the earth moon before, was one of the children who had her hands raised up extremely high.
'I bet she's never seen the moon in her life,' Seto thought vaguely. But as he thought this tiny thought, what the fat kid and Seto noticed was Mai and Anzu racing to the counselor.
"What the..." Seto trailed off as he saw Anzu whisper something into the counselor's ear, and Mai pointed to Shizuka who was looking curiously at the two. The counselor asked Mai and Anzu a question, and the two girls nodded their heads.
The counselor dropped the cord she held in her hands, and walked to a corner of the room, hoping that the young children would forget about the moon.
¢¾
"We told her that you were allergic to the moon because Kijin isn't sure if it's safe for you to feel the moonlight." Mai was bent in front of Shizuka five minutes later, explaining to Shizuka what exactly was going on.
"Why is it not safe for me?"
Mai looked out of the corner of her eyes to see little Mokuba sitting about two feet away from her, showing Anzu the illustrations on his cards. "Just trust me," She answered.
¢¾
¢¾
"I wonder what's going on," Seto mumbled to himself as he watched Shizuka and Mai converse. "And why did those two stop the counselor from opening the window to show us the moon?" Seto did have a theory, but it was too farfetched and based too much on conclusions to be exactly sure about it.
Seto had just realized the absence of the smell of mud from around him. He turned his head, and his large acquaintance was gone. When Seto looked a few feet farther to the right of him, he noticed the large one talking to one of his fellow bullies who was standing dangerously near a light switch.
Seto, being the sharp boy that he was, immediately rushed to the blinds, and he instantly grabbed the cord to the blinds.
A few seconds later, the fat kid walked over to Seto with a disapproving look on his face.
"What are you planning to do?" Seto asked, holding the cord strictly in his hand behind his back.
"I thought you were smart, Seto," The boy said, evil glimmering in his eyes. "That girl that you said was so...intri-...intri-...interesting, well, she can't see the moonlight."
"How do you figure?" Seto asked, trying to throw the boy off of his trail of thoughts.
"Well, those girls who came with her told the counselor not to open the window, or else she would get a rash."
"And how do you know that?"
"My friend who was standing by the counselor heard them." Seto peered behind the shoulder of the fat kid, and saw a boy smirking near a light switch. "I knew that she had a secret, and when we make her see the moon, we'll find it out!"
"How do you know that she can't she the moon because she'll actually get a rash?" Seto clutched the cord even tighter.
"Who's allergic to the moon? It's...it's...it's the moon! Now, give me the string thingy so that I can open the blinds completely."
"Okay then," Seto lowered his eyes, "Suppose she does have a secret, but think about it: Wouldn't making her see the moon ruin the secret, not make us discover it?" Every word that Seto asked was the true thoughts that were contaminating his mind.
"What do you mean?"
"It's too complicated for you to understand, but believe me. I have a better lead."
"Better lead?"
"Yup. I heard them talking, and they're planning to sneak out tonight and leave the orphanage without telling a single soul. Now, if you have patience and wait quietly, we might be able to follow them. Also, we don't know whether or not seeing the moon will either ruin Shizuka's secret forever, or just help everyone realize it, and I'm not wiling to take that chance."
The boy had finally come to his senses, or Seto had thought by the way he started to walk away displeased.
"Oh," The boy said quietly with his back turned to Seto. "Since you have your guesses and all, it's alright if you're not wiling to take that chance, but I am! NOW!"
And before Seto could even comprehend what the boy had spoken, the lights turned off. And even before Seto's eyes could adjust to the darkness, he felt a slam. A powerful, sweaty, fat hand had just slapped him, and that meaty thing had hit him hard.
In an instant, Seto was kneeling on the floor, rubbing the area around his chin where he had felt that punch. He felt blood, just a few drops of it, but it was still blood around his chin. But he soon put his own health aside when he had realized that he didn't feel the blinds' cord in his hands anymore.
He looked up to the blinds and saw that they were fully opened, making a perfect view for the moonlight to flow into the small room.
Ok, but now that the window was letting in direct moonlight into the dark room, Seto could barely make out the outline of a girl, fallen flat on her face, while Anzu and Mai cried:
"SHIZUKA!!!"
