Author's Note:

Alright! It's been like three years since I last updated this story and have given no hint to where it was going. I was going to just re-write it but then I decided to finish this one before the sequel while coming out with "The true story of Fiery Rose" which would be a much better version of this story with much more things being done that are not touched on in this story while other things might be edited out.

YouTube Note: (Very important! Read!)

I've come out with a few videos for this story on there for the last month. You might want to check them out.

After watching many things on that site, I decided that I wanted to make Fiery Rose into an actual series on there. Furthermore, get this, it will look realistic... not a slideshow nor a video with bad editing to look like it has something to do with each other but an actual series where you can actually see the scenes and live the scenes in the anime form.

Anyhow, that would mean that I would need great voice actors, great video editors (using Sony Vegas), and a few people who would help with making the script and posting the videos. I want to make a japanese and english version... and other languages so that many people can enjoy the show so if you're bilingual, you're awesome for the project!

Soon, there'd be a video talking about that. Let everyone know about this so that this thing can be made real.

Now to the story: ---

The next morning

Higurashi Residence

4:00am – 4:45am

Wind screamed at her window and threatened to break the glass windows as the trees outside cheered it on as nature seemed to bother the now awakened Kagome. Sand scraped across the everything outside and the brown-eyed girl was sure that it only did it to her annoyance.

A fear had come across Kagome that had never come to her before, a thought of pure energy. Nothing had never been this powerful that they'd ever went against. Her brown eyes widened as she looked to Inuyasha and saw that he was still asleep and hadn't awaken from just the amount of energy that was being presented into this world.

Kagome's heart pounded in a way that she couldn't explain as she hurriedly grabbed onto her bow and arrows, careful not to wake anyone up as she ran out the temple and faced the well, the entrance to the past.

"Come on out!" She screamed, now making her hard work to not wake anyone up invalid. Grabbing onto her arrow, she hollered out the words again.

There was silence. Pure silence. The wind went silent as she looked around and even saw a rat seem to freeze in place then fall completely dead.

'Naraku has made me see the light; all I need is my true form to make his dream come true. They will all pay for betraying me...' A voice could be heard, this time it was only one instead of the two she heard before. It was a girl's. This girl seemed young, maybe even the age of Kagome.

Her eye's widened, Kagome's lips quivered as she tried to form words but for the moment could not. Didn't this girl know Naraku could never be trusted? That heart of hers went out for her, and like the pure-hearted fool she was, she wanted to take the girl in her arms and let her see through her own soul how wrong Naruku would always be. Before she could gain enough strength to speak, the energy carrier and the voice went away.

The wind picked up again and quickly, the world went away with doing as it always does as if everything were normal, calm as can be. Kagome could only wish she had that ability to act as if everything were okay and nothing changed by what had happened but her soul ached and it told her that nothing would be the same.

"Miss Higurashi?" A voice interrupted Kagome's thoughts. It was unfamiliar yet fairly known to her soul; it must've been one of the new girls.

The worried teen replied,"Hai?" She didn't look back, afraid that her eyes won't agree with whatever lie she would have to come up with being that Rei's friends were staying at her temple now also.

The girl surprisingly didn't say much but just lay her hand on the other's shoulder. "You're a lot like your cousin, eh?" The priestess could almost hear a smile come from the girl as she spoke even if the tone sounded calm but worried.

In her humble opinion, she never thought Rei and her were anything alike, even when it came to looks although her mother confused the two often. She didn't answer her, but it wasn't to be rude but mostly because she was in deep thought and the other because of her wariness.

Turning slightly, she could see the girl held in her hand some kind of pretty stick with a symbol of one of the planets on it. Mercury, maybe? Weird thing for someone to be holding, she thought to herself.

"You should get to sleep, Miss Higurashi. School is in the morning." The words were soft, strong, and kind.

Standing up, Kagome looked at her, "Ami, right?" There was a nod. "I can see why Rei likes you."

Later that morning...

Higurashi Residence

6:00am – 7:30am

Souta woke up earlier than everybody like he had become accustomed to since Rini had come to live with them. It was odd not seeing her and even more strange that he seemed to be the only worried about the fact that she went missing. Rei, her so called guardian, didn't even seem to notice that the girl was gone, not seen for a whole day.

Maybe Rei sent her away and thats why he hadn't noticed her to care at all that she was gone. Hmm... either way, this year wouldn't be the same without her to be around after school. She seemed to be the only one that understood him.

Walking into the kitchen, he saw Ami reading a book, silently to herself while enjoying a small sandwich to herself. She sure was much prettier than the stereotypical nerd, he thought as he watched her carefully.

"Young Mr. Higurashi!" She said calmly but with an slightly excited tone. The blue-haired girl reached behind her, in the microwave, and grabbed a brown bagged lunch and handed it to him. "There you go. I took the liberty of making you lunch."

Her words were kind but it annoyed him. Genuine, they were obviously true to her being, but how could someone so 'kind' also who was supposed to care about Rini not care?

His eyes became embittered as he threw the bag at the counter with all his might then bit his lips to the point of bleeding and screamed, "You're so fake!"

Ami's eyes widened as Minako and Rei came down the stairs and tears rolled down Souta's eyes. That dream he had the night before wouldn't leave his mind. Rini needed his help; he knew it! "YOU'RE ALL SO FAKE!" He hollered viciously then when seeing Rei, anger nearly tripped him off his feet, "Rei... you're the fakest fake of the fakes of them all!" Whimpering, he got up and tried to walk to school.

Minako smiled lightly. "Well, good thing, he didn't point out how I have fake breasts now!" She giggled as she unnervingly grabbed some toast as if she were not bothered by the accusations.

Ami looked to Rei whom seemed unnerved as she grabbed her backpack and looked again at the well before deciding to leave. A rose sat atop of the accessory like sparkling a diamond on a beautiful ring. The beautiful girl carried the rose with pride, and she seemed not to be ashamed to be holding someone's rose like this.

"Where did the rose come from?" Ami asked, her face slightly red as she put down the book, assuming that Souta must've been a drama king since Rei had no reaction to his actions.

The guy had to be important.

Rei smiled lightly although she was trying to keep her mysteriousness to her facade but her actions were more typical of a teenage girl than the genius was used to from her friend. The rose was lifted to her nose as she smelled it gently.

Ms. Higurashi walked in and smiled at the teenagers in her kitchen. "Oh dear, Rei, your red-headed friend is here again. Is he going to walk you to school again?"

Almost immediately, Rei got embarrassed that her friends heard this and quickly realized that her mind was somewhere else this whole morning, only on him. The rose was up to her nose and she sniffing it as if she were a lovesick teenager which she could never be.

"Rei, my friend." A deep masculine voice went through the air before Rei could remove the plant from her face to her embarrassment as she tried to stuff it in her backpack.

He smiled. It was almost cocky in the beautiful priestess's opinion. It was odd for him to do that but then again, it easily could have been her paranoia.

"Minamino." Rei said coldly but blushed slightly as he came close to her, his hand grabbing her backpack from her.

There was an odd silence between the two, not like one of lovers, more like enemies once friends.

There was a coldness in his eyes that she couldn't explain, not at all. "Rei, my friend," he spoke again then into a whisper into her ear, "we need to talk..."

That was one thing that she wanted least to do was talk. The day before, she remembered, they were at the park where she remembered it being that last place they had a good memory together then because of that one good memory, there had to be an argument that would change everything. He had to have said I love you! Wouldn't it be now?!

"Shuichi..."

Her eyes wouldn't meet with his.

He didn't blame her. It was a horrible position to put her... knowing Botan was his girlfriend. "We broke up..." He said softly, those green eyes softening, as he touched her shoulder gently but it seemed as if the touch caused memories from the Kuwabara's death to come rushing into him along with dreams that he had of her before she came back.

However, those softened eyes became eyes of hatred very quickly as he backed up, realizing a fear within him. Maybe his mind was playing tricks, he told himself silently as he looked at her confused facial expression.

"Rei... why?" He asked as he kept backing up, nearly backing up to the glass window leading to the backyard but the door was opened by a worried Inuyasha whom seemed to be looking at Rei with the worried eyes.

"What? What do you mean why me?" Rei asked with forced curiousness. "I'm confused."

The red-headed boy didn't bother answering but ran out the house in fear of what he may do.

There was a silence but before anyone knew it, Inuyasha grabbed onto Ami's hand with a strong grip and said viciously, "We're going to the library." There was no explanation, just a shocked girl being taken away by a half-dog.
