Emerald Angel

Chapter 2 –

The door of the jewelry store opened and shut with a loud clang. Suki walked straight to the back of the small shop and as she entered the back room, she felt a little dizzy. She sat down in the lounge, on the puffy leather couch, and closed her yes. Normally when she would close her eyes, she would see a never ending darkness, but this time she saw something different.

She saw a shimmering mess of colors that were slowly coming into focus, forming something that she couldn't make out. Then, it stopped; it was very odd, something wasn't right. The colors continued to shimmer, but they weren't getting any clearer.

"Suki-san! Good to see you! Happy Birthday!"

It was Miha Kimoko, a strange seventeen year old with purple hair. As usual, she was wearing her black fishnet tights, tall black-leather boots, a black mini skirt and a dark purple sweatshirt. Suki shifted her eyes from the smiling face of her co-worker, to the black package that was being held out to her.

"Nice to see you too, Miha-san! You really didn't have to give me a gift, you know!"

"But I did! I know how much you wanted this, so I got it!" Miha grinned and gave Suki the package. When she began to open it she knew right away exactly what it was. She continued to peel off the wrapping until there wasn't any left on the outside of the box. A smile spreading across her face, she lifted off the cover and peered at what was inside.

She reached her hand in and pulled out the sheet of slightly wrinkled paper from the bottom of the box, she read the print and remembered the Saturday before last. Miha and she had volunteered at the animal shelter, as they were walking around on their break, they saw a lonely creature. It was a ferret by the name of Kami. She was black and had the sweetest brown eyes, the owner of the shelter said that Kami didn't like being around people much, but as soon as Suki opened the cage, Kami was all over her, squeaking with happiness. Miha's gift had been adopting Kami for Suki, since Kami was now under Suki's name, all she had to do was take in the forms in exchange for the little fuzz ball.

"Miha-san! This is so great but where'd you get the money?!"

"I had a bunch stashed for your birthday, I wanted to get you something special since I forgot your birthday last year!"

Suki just about jumped off the couch and into Miha's arms, hugging her so tight that she couldn't breathe.

"This is one of the best gifts I've ever gotten! Well, besides the one I got from Chii-chan this morning!"

"What did he give you?"

"A crys-,"

As Suki reached her hand up to her neck, she felt around a little and realized that it wasn't there; her crystal was no longer fastened around her neck.

She frantically searched around her, looking through her grocery bags and between the couch cushions, but the colorful crystal wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Looking for this?"

It was Mr. Khotoma, Chitaku's father and Suki's boss. Mr. Khotoma was standing in the doorway, the crystal swaying on its chain as he held it out.

"You were lucky I was getting tea and saw you drop it after you bought your food!" he said with a chuckle.

"Khotoma-kun, I don't know what I would've done if you didn't find my necklace! Please don't tell Chii-kun!"

"Don't worry. It'll be our little secret."

He quietly walked over to Suki and fastened the necklace around her neck once more. The whole conversion ended when Suki looked at Miha and saw her confused face. Suki just shook her head smiling and walked down the hallway and went behind the cash register, waiting for the trainee to show up for their first day.

"Chitaku-chan, did you give it to her?"

"Yes mother, if she reacts correctly, she should get the message soon."

"You better be right, Chitaku. Let's hope she'll be able to do as well as Shinike herself, or we may lose the ability to control the council's actions."

"I know mother, but she can do it. She's smart, and with Shinike apart of her, she'll be better than the others we've selected in the past."

Chitaku and his mother were standing in the kitchen, staring each other in the eyes. Both of them knew that if this didn't work, their next job would be the hardest one yet.
