• As I layed on the straw mat in one of Keigo's guest rooms, I couldn't help but wonder what on earth was happening to me. At first I thought it was just a 'mind over matter' sort of thing, nut no matter how hard I tried to imagine the crushing sensation going away, it never happened.I finally just tried to ignore it and fell into a light sleep. When I entered my dream, I was standing in the middle of thick gray swirling mists, holding a long black pole with a white moon carved into it. At the end, a larger versoin of the white moon was grafted on to the tip. It was a lovely pole, and so slender. Suddenly, my mouth started moving, and words were flying out. " Moon that casts the sun's reflection, light my way through this dark passage. I, Agari Yuki, command you to show me your true form! The binding spell that connects us, shine!" I yelled out. And before I knew what was happening, the pole started glowing brightly, nearly blinding me in the process. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn't holding a pole, but a sword. The black handle had every phase of the moon on it, and the white blade softly shined. Near the tip of the sword were the words, "Shine with the light of your master's reflection of power." They were engraved into the blade and seemed to glow the brightest. I looked down, realizing that my clothes felt different. I was right. I was wearing a black miniskirt that was covered in silver stars. My white shirt had a high collar and long sleeves that drooped like a kimono's. On the sleeves were black stars and right on top of my chest was a silver cresent moon. my plain pink sandals had transformed into silver flats and I was wearing black leggings. I was completely overwhelmed at first, and then remembered that this was a dream and couldn't possibly be real. Then, a movement in my room caused me to wake up. I rubbed my eyes and then looked down. I was still wearing the clothes from my dream. I pulled up my right hand and gawked at the sword placed firmly between my fingers. "So, you've awakened your powers, eh?" A farmiliar voice said from the shadows. "Good. AT least this will be a little more interesting than last time." the voice said again. "Y-y-you're the assasin from the beach, are'nt you?" I said, forcing my self to my feet. "Ahh, I'd expected as much. You don't remember my name, do you? Well, that's okay, since I DID try to suppress your powers to the point where forgetting me would be a simple matter. But, it can't be helped." He finished as he stepped into the small source of light emmiting from my sword. "My name, my dear Yuki, is Ryuu." he said, bowing and smiling at me. " YOU! You're the one who killed Kanata! How dare you show your face to me again!" and with that I swung my sword at him as hard as I could, barely hitting him as he jumped back swiftly. "Oh my, it seems as though you haven't completely lost your touch!" he laughed as a small trickle of blood fell from his cheek. His red eyes glowed brightly as he laughed out loud. He threw his head back, and I caught a glimpse of his gold circlet again. Even though I knew he was evil, I was helpless against how beautiful he was. His red eyes looked directly into mine, his face suddenly serious. I lost all consiousness then.
