Fiery Rose:

Dark Moon Crystal Palace

12:00pm – 1:15pm

Kagura walked through the hallways holding the shikon jewel feeling the power radiating from the small pink jewel that could be the reason for the desolation of this world or even for the purifying of this world. She took her long raven hair out of the pinned bun that she usually had it in and had it flowing freely down her shoulders to the middle of her back. Her face made up as it always was as she looked for the man that she was newly working for. She looked into the mirrors that stood near to her on the left to see if she looked pretty enough to be seen by 'master' or as she rather call him, her 'prince.'

She found him standing tall as he always did with that smile that showed arrogance. For some reason, she found her cheeks going red… was she blushing, she was definitely blushing. Prince Rubeus stood watching her with his slanted eyes and red hair curled up with that masculine face. "Kagura, I assume you have a reason for coming in here," he said in his cold voice, as he turned around, not bothering to look at her.

Kagura stood silently for a second, startled by his coldness towards her. It was not like she wasn't used to be spoken to in such a way, Naraku had never spoke to her in a kind way. For some reason, she was always a bit bothered by when Rubeus would talk to her in such a way; she wanted affection from him.

What was she thinking? Someone being affectionate to her… she was an incarnation, a WORTHLESS INCARNATION. "Lady Kagura, answer my question. Do you have an important reason for being here?" Rubeus turned, his face showing anger and his voice impatient.

"Uh… yes, sire. This bit of information is very much of use to her. I understand why we are not able to use the silver crystal… "Kagura voiced somewhat showing fear in her voice as she dared not to look him in the eyes to see his disappointment in her. She looked and saw that he caught his composure and looked into her eyes with calm beauty to it, now. "I believe it is because…"

"Because of what?"

"Because, you'll need a pure heart that has enough power to use the power within it, unlike the shikon jewel… it does not become like the owner but the more evil the person, the weaker the crystal would become!" Kagura turned to the crystal that was kept in a barrier because the light of purity would overcome them and the shikon jewel.

He turned to her and wrapped his arms around her as he said to her in a dramatically affectionate voice that he forced himself to do as he spoke:" Kagura, my dear Kagura, you wouldn't mind finding the one who would be powerful enough to control the power of that crystal, would you?"

She blushed as she turned to look in his eyes; was it just her or did his eyes show nothing that said 'I love you' but only malice evil and… and… maybe… betrayal. 'He would never betray me, now would he?' She turned on her heels as she took her fan and disappeared into oblivion to find a place to start her great plans.

Rini and Sota's School

9:00am – 2:15pm

Rini sighed as she waited in front of the school for Sota to get out of class so they could head to lunch together. In her mind, she wanted to save herself the embarrassment of seeing him with Emerald or with his old girlfriend, Hitomi. She was starting to think, she was better off with Rei's mind set and besides… she was from the future and needn't not to get into affairs or fall in love with a boy especially one like Sota.

She looked into a mirror that was in front of her and for a second she thought she saw her mom, Serena… but it was her own reflection. She missed her so much… she needed to find the man that Rei referred to as Naraku, destroy him and find a way to get her mother back. One thing bothered her; she didn't know how her mother died and what the man did to her. Was she right? Is she still alright?

Sota walked out the room laughing with some of his buds but stopped as he saw tears coming down Rini's eyes. He was about to walk over to give some comfort though he didn't know what was wrong but stopped when he saw boy walk to the pink haired girl with the crimson eyes.

Rini didn't even notice when she started crying but knew that a boy had gently grabbed onto her hand and asked her to stop crying, he hated when beautiful girls cry. She looked up blushing at the boy's words and found him to be familiar to her.

The boy was tall with a gentle face; it almost reminded her of Rei's friend, Shuichi. He was quite pale but very handsome with beautiful crimson red eyes with a blend of blue and violet that showed of a boy with beautiful dreams and a pure heart. His hair white and curly that cropped his head neatly. Somehow, he even made wearing a school outfit look like it was fit to be in a magazine.

Author's Note: Sorry for the shortness. Anyways… who is this boy… actually, I couldn't fit all that I wanted to fit in her but whatever… review!
