(Thirty-One)

-FAST FORWARD TO SATURDAY-

I woke up, refreshed and to see Yumeko opening my curtains, the sun streaming into my room. I stretched, "Good Morning, Yumeko." "Good Morning, Miss." She curtsied with a smile, "You seem well."  "I am. How about you?" I asked with a smile, jumping from my bed. "I'm splendid!" Yumeko smiled as she rushed over to me, putting my black robe onto my shoulders. "That's good to hear." I beam. I walked from my room with her in tow and walked downstairs to see dad in the living room, watching tv and sipping coffee, dressed in jeans and a short-sleeved white shirt. "Mornin' Dad." He turned and smiled, "Buttercup! Good Morning!" He patted the space next to him and I sat next to him, "Did you sleep well?" He asked as he put an arm around me.

I nodded, "mhm." He kissed my forehead, "That's good to here. What are your plans for the morning since we're not doing anything until the evening." I thought and said, "Is it ok if I cycle for a while?" He nodded and smiled, "Sure. I don't see why not." I hugged him, careful not to spill his coffee. "Thanks, dad." "Anytime, buttercup." He took a sip of his coffee and I raced to my room. I quickly dressed in black shorts, a wine red shirt, and wine-red shoes. I grabbed my phone and headphones and raced out to the garage and grabbed my bike.

Outside, I sat on my seat, searching  my playlists when, "Well, what a surprise." I looked up to see Owen floating above me. "Oh, hey Owen." She nodded, "Hm. You're a White now?" I nodded. She looked at me and nodded once again before landing next to me, "So...Rei. How have you been?" "Fine." I smiled and for some reason, I sensed hostility on Owen. "Uhh...You ok?" I asked cautiously. "Fine...Just fine." She said slowly. I looked at her. she wasn't ok. "You're not ok, Owen..." I gulped, my necklace glowing, my foot on the left pedal. Her necklace glowed and she glared.

"I said...I'm fine." She snarled. Uh oh. I pedaled away as fast as I can and she chased me, her necklace aglow and her eyes full of hate. I kept pedaling my hardest when my bike tipped over and I went flying. I couldn't slow my fall and Owen was racing after me to my fall destination, but I landed in strong arms. I opened my eyes and saw I was being held by Harvey. His eyes were aglow with gold and that froze Owen in her tracks. Harvey glared at her and set me down gently before clapping his hands together and out of thin air created a glowing gold spear, "You dare try to hurt, Reisen I see," He tilted his head, his expression became indifferent and that was quite scary.

Owen glared at him and drew her Katana, "Am I supposed to be afraid of you?" Onlookers stopped and stared, some took pictures. Harvey only smiled, but it was that infamous psycho smile. "I dunno....are you supposed to?"
