Mizu sighed, bored out of her mind with one of her dad's party. She hated having to leave Cloud and Nikki-samma to come back home.

Her dad never approved of her running off and skipping out on training. But... She couldn't stand fighting, why would she want to learn how to?

Mizu looked over at her little sister, Sakura, who was getting her white dress all dirty. Mizu couldn't help but laugh. Sakura was 2 years younger then Mizu, making her 6 years old. Sakura had ruby red eyes and hair like a sakura blossom, explaining her name.

Mizu's father looked at her like she was crazy, but than he saw her sister and chuckled.

Mizu loved her mother, father, sister, and the rest of her family, but she never truly felt like she she belonged there. She has always felt like she should be doing something more then being a straight-A, honor roll, shy and sweet rich girl. Whenever Mizu went on adventures with Nikki, and recently Cloud, she felt like she was doing more of what she was suppose to be doing.

"Hey! What do you think your doing?!" Mizu heard her father's voice. As soon as she looked up, she saw the guards grab a boy.

"Ow...OW! Get offa me you ********' cavemen!" The boy yelled at the guards. They dropped him, making him fall on the ground face first.

The boy got on his knees and glared at the guards. His gaze sent shivers through Mizu. She wasn't scared, but... thrilled.

The boy had hair like snow, where the tips looked like they were dipped in blood. The glare that sent that thrilled shiver through her, were two different colors, his eyes seemed to shine like the stars at night. One green and one blue... He was so... Mizu wasn't able to put in into words what she thought of him.

"Be genital... He is just a child after all!" Came Mizu's mother's beautiful, yet icy voice.

No matter what mood her mother was in, that voice seemed to cut anyone who heard it, but Mizu's mother was a kind women and very loyal, along with a strong fighter, Mizu always had wished that she had her confidante.

"What is your name?" asked her mother.

"Jagger... Jagger Nightshade..." he said.

Mizu shivered again. He was a Nightshade? They were suppose to be all dead, along with the Akumu clan. How did this one boy survive?

"A... A Nightshade?! How is that possible?" came my father's voice.

Mizu couldn't tell, was that anger or shock in his father's voice, or... ever... fear?

Mizu had heard stories of the Nightshade clan that used to rule the South of the underworld. They were supposedly this clan of blood thirsty monsters. It was said that when the angel's attacked the south and east, that they wiped out the Nightshade and Akumu Clans. It was such a surprise that the angels would really attack the underworld, let alone two of the ruling clans, none of their allies could get their in time to help. Two of these allies being both Mizu's mother and father's clans. Was that why this boy, Jagger, was here? Was he blaming the killing of his clan on the allies who didn't come and help them? Starting with the Senri and Dokino Clans? It made sense, right? If he was of the Nightshade clan, like he said he was, wouldn't he want the clans that didn't help his clan to perish?

"If you are a Nightshade... why are you still alive?" came a man's voice from the crowd at the party.

"I'm alive because you traderish trash and those bird brains are to weak to kill every member of the Nightshade clan!! I wouldn't be surprised if the Akumu had survives also!" Jagger's voice was cold and heartless. He glared around the room, everyone he laid eyes on showed how much they feared this one boy, who was only a little older them Mizu herself. Finally, his eyes landed on Mizu and she felt like she was frozen. Jagger's eyes got wide with amazement.

Why? What sets me apart from the others in this room? Mizu thought.

"Ang.....angel?" Jagger said genitally and softly.

Everything seemed to disappear, except for Jagger and Mizu. Mizu could feel her heart pounding... but, it wasn't from fear. He stared at her, not change the look of wonder from his face. He stared to stand and everything to seem come crashing back.

Sakura was crying, Mizu's mother was holding her and had thrown her self around both Sakura and Mizu, shielding them as best she could. Mizu's father was shouting, what she had no clue, all she was really paying attache to was Jagger.

What had happened?

"Cya around, Angel..." Jagger said winking at Mizu, and then he was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mizu walked through the woods, taking the path she has now taken countless times, the path only she knew about. It had been about half a month since she had met a Nightshade.

She understood why everyone was terrified when Jagger noticed her. She was 3/5 angel... 3/5 something that destroyed his clan and his life. Everyone in that room was sure he was going to kill her, she was the only one who didn't believe he would. Why she was sure of this? She had no idea... she just was. Jagger didn't scare her. Why that was? She didn't know the reason to that question either. She knew he should scare her, she should fear for her life.

All well... I'm heading back to the underworld to day... It's time for me to return to Nikki-samma and Cloud. No point worrying about it... She thought looking up at the sky.

"What perfect timing!" A soft smile came to her face as she looked up at the sky, and kept walking towards the portal to where her friends waited.
