Rima Tanako. She had light blue hair and sea green eyes that were always bright. She was held back a year after her family died in a sudden car crash leaving poor Rima alone. Rima fell into a depression and refused to do any and all schoolwork. She walked to Mitakihara Middle School donning its respective uniform and her emotionless face. "Tanako-san1!" a schoolmate called. Rima turned around. Kita Satsuki. She had amber colored hair that was always tied up into twin drill tails. "Hello Kita-san." Rima replied back. "Are you on your way to school?"

"Yes."

"Mind if I join you?"

"No."

"No I can join you or just no?"

This girl annoyed Rima. Satsuki had a positive outlook on things which personally didn't bother Rima. It was the fact that Satsuki just couldn't leave things where they were.

"No you can join me."

The two quickly arrived at Mitakihara Middle School. There was little conversation between Rima and Satsuki. When there was, Rima gave short anwsers to Satsuki's questions. Rima climbed the stairs and entered her homeroom. She took her seat in the back which made it easier for her to isolate herself from the other students. The bell rang and the teacher entered. "Hello class. I will be your teacher for the year. My name is Mitakura Tamaki. But, for you all it will be Mitakura-sensei2. Please take out your math books. "The teacher said turning to the chalkboard.

The hours seemed to slowly tick by. Rima gathered her things and went home to her apartment. Rima turned on her favorite Magical Girl anime; Cardcaptor Sakura. She grew bored and decided to channel surf. "I wish i wasn't alone anymore."

"That can be arranged." A voice said. It seemed to come from every direction. "Who-What are you?" Rima asked.

"I am an Incubator. I scout out girls like you to become Puella Magi or Magical Girls. I grant their wish but in exchange they give me their souls and fight Witches. "The voice suddenly had a body. It was cat-like. It had cat ears but had ears coming down out of them. It had a tail but was separated into three separate parts with red lines on them. In the middle of the being's back was a red circle. It stared at Rima with beady red eyes and a mouth like a curved W. "Excuse me, but what are Witches?" Rima asked curiosity taking over.

"Witches are Magical Girls who did not cleanse their soul gems using the grief seed that they drop." The cat thing says. It takes a note of Rima's confused face before continuing. "You see, every time you use your magic, your soul gem gets clouded. Puella Magi use the grief seed to make the soul gem bright and clean again."

Rima nodded. "Ordinarily i would jump at the chase to not be alone but i need to think about things before saying yes." Rima says closing her eyes. The being nodded and disappeared. Rima was left to Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club latest plan to keep Haruhi's secret well a secret. A few days later, Rima sealed the deal. After sputtering like an idiot, Rima held her olive green soul gem in the palms of her open hands. She noted the star decoration on the top and the flat bottom. "Can you tell me your name?" Rima asks.

"My name is Ryubey."

"My n-"

"Do not bother. I know your name is Rima Tanako." The now named being said before disappearing again.
