Haruka sat in the living room of their large house. She was reading her racer magazine that had just arrived in the mail. Something didn't feel right though..It was quiet. Very quiet. Michiru and Setsuna were out shopping which left her alone with the girls. That's it! Where were the girls? They were just here a moment ago.

Sighing she closed the magazine and went to look for them. The first place she checking was the small extra kitchen built into the house. It had once just been a office room, but they changed it to house all their herbs, oils, and other items for their spells. She checked inside the cabinet and saw the spell book was still there. Ok so they weren't doing anything to bad.

Walking over to the stairs she stopped and called out. "Girls! Are you up there?" no response came. She hadn't heard them leave the house...so where were they?

Suddenly a crashing sound came the green house. Quickly she rushed over and threw open the door. There she saw Minako cursing as she had dropped a flower pot. Haruka sighed in relief. "Hey, what are you doing? And where's you sister?" she asked.

Minako looked up to see her. She was wearing a apron over a blue sun dress. Her brown sandals were covered in dirt as were her feet. From the look of it, she was trying to take the young oleanders out of the smaller pot and put them into a bigger one. Of course being herself, she had dropped the small pot with the flowers still inside.

"Oh hi Haruka-papa. No I haven't seen her. I think she might be out back reading though."she answered. Haruka nodded and went to go make sure.

Instead she found the violet eyed teen out on the front porch reading a rather old looking book. Probably from Setsuna's library. "Hey Firefly. I was looking for you."

Hotaru jumped at the sound of her guardians voice. The quick movement cause her hair to move and reveal a bruise on her left temple. Haruka stared at it, then went to the girl side. Lightly she touched it, which made Hotaru flinch. The sandy haired woman felt her blood boil and she clenched her fists.

"Who gave you that?" she demanded.

The girl winced. "I...fell on rock."

"Oh please Hotaru, that excuse is older than Setsuna! How did you Really get that?"Minako came running out when she heard Haruka yelling.

"What's going on?"

Haruka turned her glare to her now. "Did you know about this?" she asked motioning towards Hotaru's bruise. Minako stared at it in shock. Obviously she had not seen it before. Quickly she ran over to better inspect it.

"Hotaru-chan what happened?"

Hotaru got up and moved away from both girls. "Some boy just threw a rock at me ok! It's not like I'm bleeding or anything!" oh great, they got her worked up now. She threw the book onto the chair she had been sitting on and ran off the porch.

Haruka sighed, she had overreacted again. Hotaru wasn't normally a mean girl, but when put on the spot she just snapped. By now she was just used to being alone, and not getting as much attention as others. She looked at Minako who nodded. The young blonde took off her apron and went after her sister.

She found Hotaru sitting on a rock within the small woods next to their house. With a smile on her face the blue eyed girl sat back to back with her. "So..how ya doin?" she asked in a carefree tone.

Hotaru couldn't help but smile. "Lousy."

"Hm..it was Clay who threw the stone wasn't it?"

Hotaru sighed. "Yeah, I was just walking by when I heard someone call out 'Witch!'. then a stone hit my head. I turned to see him and his buddies laughing."

Minako then became a little concerned and glanced over her shoulder at her. "You didn't "do" anything to them to cause this..did you?"

"No...but they won't be having good dreams for quite some time now." at this the blonde smirked. Hotaru was very good at revenge spells. Small ones though. Usually just the ones that don't require any sort of material or long chants. Both girls knew better then to tamper with bigger dark spells.

"Hey at least we don't have to see much of him anymore. Remember? We're being transferred to a new school." Minako pointed out.

Hotaru rolled her eyes. "That's in a totally different town. Either the others are going to get us an apartment there, or we're going to have to wake up very early to make it to school."

"Oh I hope they get us an apartment. It would be like we're living on our own. We could even do some spells without getting caught!"

"Um..one problem...we don't have our own spell book." Minako then had a sly look on her face.

"It's not...complete, no." Hotaru now half turned to look at her.

"What did you do?" she asked smiling.

"I might have...copied a few spells in my "diary", from the other's book." now the violet eyed girl smirked.

"Nice one Mina-chan. If you want I can steal the book again tonight and you can copy more." Minako nodded in agreement and they shook hands. The two then got off the rock and headed back to the house. However Hotaru couldn't shake this strange feeling she had. Something was about to happen, and she didn't know what.

Marik wondered around the Shadow Realm. The deserted place looked much like a barren waste land. It had already been a year since his imprisonment to this place. A whole year. Had it really been that long? All he had was his few memories of when he was on Earth. Several times he had forgotten what the other world had even looked like.

This world was of darkness and death. A place he at first had actually enjoyed, but his likeness of it soon faded. It was a cold place, a lonely one. He was surprised he hadn't gone mad yet with the silence. That still silence. Like you were under water, you couldn't hear a thing. Even when he spoke there came no echo. His words were eaten as soon as they left his mouth.

He didn't know if he would take back his actions on Earth. Not even if he was given the choice to start over. How could a being of hatred start over anyhow? You probably couldn't, for you were the hatred one had suffered. That was what he was. The hatred of that boy, Malik. That was all he was, nothing more.

The sandy haired teen sighed as he continued to pace around the area. His lavender eyes trailed the ground as he walked. Lets see, what was there to do today?... Nothing! That's all that ever happened around this place. Every once in awhile a monster would be sent down. But when that happened the Reaper of Cards would come to claim it. The eerie being had never come to claim him though, and he didn't know why.

"It's just a stupid monster anyways. It's probably too afraid of me." he said with a sinister smirk. He doubted this was the truth, but he didn't care. Suddenly his eyes caught sight of something.

A few yards away lay a form, a small one. At first he thought it might have been a small monster, but when he focused more on it, it looked more human shaped. Maybe it was a human looking monster? His curiosity got the better of him and he went over to inspect it. He was not ready for what he was about to see, and when he did, he gasped.

There lay a girl, probably no more than 16. She wore a black turtle neck, skirt, and stockings. Her short ebony hair curtained her face, so he couldn't see it. The only skin he saw was her hands, which were pale. Squatting down in front of her he checked to see if she was breathing. Sure enough her chest moved ever so slightly, as if she were asleep.

"What the hell is a human girl doing here?" he asked himself. This was obviously not a monster. If it was, the Reaper would have showed up by now. He checked the dark clouded sky just in case though. A moan pulled his attention back to her and he saw she was waking up. Carefully he moved her hair away from her heart shaped face. "Hey, what the hell are you doing here?"

It nearly took his breathe away when she finally opened her eyes. They were a dark purple color, violet, and huge. The girl sat up and looked around, she then turned to him. "Where am I?"

Marik raised an eyebrow. "You mean you don't know?... You've been sent to the Shadow Realm."
