Narrative by Hikari
-Hi. My name is Sora Hikari. I'm an only child in a three person family.
-My parents are rarely home enough to know of my recent developments.
-What I mean by "developments" is magic. Literally.
-Only two weeks ago, I got mad at a guy at school and literally froze him in place.
-Since then, I learned that I can transform into different clothes and make different things having to do with ice.
-My best friend, Chujitsu Tomodachi, is the only person who knows about my powers. I've trusted her since I was young and will continue to do so.
-Oh yeah. This is my boyfriend, Shinjetsu Kare. We've been together for a little more than a year now. I really don't want to tell him about my powers.
-I am a senior at Hataori High in the Osaka district of Japan.
=Tomodachi: *calling from outside* Hikari-chan, you're going to be late for school.
=Hikari: Hoeee! *throws open the window* Coming Tomodachi-chan.
*Hikari runs down the stairs and out the door. Give glimpses of classes.*
-My classes are like any other seventeen year old's, hard. Biology, Japanese, Music, and Abstract Art 1. The latter two are the two I stink at. The first two are awesome. Good teachers.
*BBRRRIING*
=Hikari:% Lunch time.%
=Kare: Ohayo gozaimasu, Hikari-chan and Tomodachi-chan. How are you today?
=Hikari [and Tomodachi]: Ohayo Kare-kun. I'm fine. How are you? [Fine thank you.]
=Kare: Great. Did you hear what happened last night?
=Hikari and Tomodachi: No, but spill it.
*Look at each other and giggle*
=Kare:*giggling himself then turning grave* Takashi-kun of 3-2 was found dead this morning. They say he was burnt to a crisp as if by flames.
*Hikari and Tomodachi stare at him, eyes and mouths wide open*
=Hikari: No way! Poor Takashi-kun.
=Tomodachi: why Takashi-kun, though? It's not like he was rich or anything.
=Kare: Some are saying that it's a family curse.
=Hikari and Tomodachi: What!?
=Kare: Yeah. They said that he found some secret family tree that showed a royal lineage.
=Tomodachi:*whispering to Hikari* I wonder if your powers may have a bad side in Takashi-kun's murderer?
=Kare: What are you two whispering about?
=Tomodachi: Nothing. Just about how harrowing that must have been for his parents to see.
=Hikari: Hey Kare-kun, would you excuse us for a second, please? No touching the bentos. We'll be right back.
*They run off to the ladie's bathrooms and proceed to discuss the problem.*
=Tomodachi: How is it that every time I want to believe that the concept of yin and yang doesn't exist, something happens to show me that it is?
=Hikari: I don't know. Something about the idea of ice facing off against fire gives me a bad vibe.
=Tomodachi: Fire beats ice most of the time. Do you think your powers are up to the challenge?
=Hikari: *looking determined* I guess we'll find out once the murdering sorcerer shows his face.
=Tomodachi: How do we know it's even a sorcerer?
=Hikari: I just know.
*dots as both of them stare at the ground thinking of the problem in front of them.*
=Tomodachi: We'd better get back to our bentos before Kare-kun has a chance to eat them.
=Hikari: After I eat, I'll go to the library to check on "lineages." Maybe I am the intended target.
=Tomodachi: Right!!
*Scene change to Hataori High Library. Hikari is typing away at a computer. She finally sits back in shock. She clicks between two pages with one name highlighted: Nakushita Oken. Enter Tomodachi.*
=Tomodachi: Well? Any luck?
=Hikari: Yeah. Takashi-kun and I were related.
=Tomodachi: Really? How far back and by who?
=Hikari: Third cousins by the emporer that ruled twenty-eight years ago.
=Tomodachi: NO WAY!!
=Hikari: Yes.I wonder whether my father knows about this. It is on his side.
=Tomodachi: That's odd. Your father never spoke of an uncle or aunt in your family.
*A shadowed figure appears in Hikari's peripheral vision.*
=Hikari:*turning around while getting up* We're being watched! Someone's on the roof.
=Tomodachi: *looking at Hikari with a knowing smile* I'll cover for you. Go after it.
*Hikari nods and begins to transform*
=Hikari: Powers of light and ice, assist me now. Lend me your powers so that I may purge the powers of darkness from this world. Let me become Koritenshi.
*Ice forms a bubble chamber around her and light fills the room. She reappears in a blue dress with shimmering light yellow linings. She also carries a blue staff in her hand. The staff itself has rays in the center of a circle (which serves as the magical medium) and a yellow ring just above a saphire cone. She jumps to a ledge where the cieling meets the skylights of the library meet the roof and phases through them.*
=Tomodachi: Good luck, Koritenshi.
*Scene switch to the fenced in roof of Hataori High. A mere boy according to his height, but his stance revealed that he was much older. Koritenshi takes a defensive position.*
=Koritenshi: Show yourself and state your purpose of hunting us down like this?
=Jigokuhi: *placidly* So you finally found out who you are.
=Koritenshi: Yeah. What of it?
=Jigokuhi: Why princess, are you forgetting your manners?
=Koritenshi: Who are you? You obviously know who I am.
=Jigokuhi: I am Jigokuhi. I have been watching you, Koritenshi-hime, for some time now. But now that you know who you are, I have to kill you.
=Koritenshi: HOEEE!!! Why kill? * Stops to think* You’re the type that relishes the thrill of stalking and killing.
=Jigokuhi: Yes my pet. I do. My lair is nothing but a drawing board and kitchen. But I’ve dawdled too long already. Good-bye Koritenshi-hime.
*He twists his staff in a circular motion then slams it down on the roof. He says an incantation to himself and a beam of light shoots toward Koritenshi.*
=Koritenshi: *with a surrounding twirl of her staff, shouts* Surround and protect me, Ice Sheild!! *she jams her staff into the roof and the shield forms just in time to deflect a power shot*
=Jigokuhi: Well, a fine spell princess, to be sure. Takashi-kun didn’t put up a fight at all.
