AN: A Brand New Story! I Really Should Be Working On My Other One But I Really Love Rei & Jed & Have Been Wanting To Write About Them For A While. The Story Is AU & Rei Is 18 While Jed Is 21. This Start Is Pretty Short But Enjoy Anyway!

The sun shined brightly as a beautiful girl, dressed simply in white jeans and red shirt made her way through the Juban ward of Tokyo. She was trying to catch the bus home to the Shrine after picking up a few things in town. She was sure her Grandfather and plenty of chores awaited her there. The young girl didn't mind though, for it was the path she had chosen. The life of a priestess was the most honorable life one could have she believed. Her one dream was to be head priestess of the Hikawa Shrine one day. It would take years of hard work and dedication to reach her goal but Rei would let nothing and no one stand in the way of her dreams.

As Rei finally arrived at the bus stop she was annoyed to find that the bus was nowhere in sight. The beauty glanced down at her watch it read 5:10pm. The bus was at least 10 minutes late! She fumed as she joined the other people waiting for the bus. Another irritatingly slow five minutes passed when Rei suddenly heard a voice call out to her.

"You're much too beautiful to be scowling so", a smooth voice called out.

The ravenette felt her temper rising as she whipped around to face one of the most handsome men she had ever seen. She felt her anger melt away as she took all of him in. He was somewhat tall and dashing, sporting black slacks and a blue dress shirt. The shirt seemed to make his bright blue eyes dance and blonde hair shined ever so slightly in the sun.

Every witty remark she could've made died on her lips and she could only stare at the gorgeous specimen as a blush crept up her cheeks. Noticing her obvious attraction to him the blonde smirked and gave her a wink. His arrogant actions quickly snapped Rei out of her trance. She scowled again, turning her back to him and flipping her long, dark hair.

"Jerk", she muttered as the man moved up to stand beside her.

"Actually the name's Jason", he said chuckling. "What's yours?"

Rei debated for a few moments before giving him her name. It's not like they were ever going to see each other again.

"Rei Hino?" the blonde said smoothly. "Well Rei, I called a friend for a ride since the bus doesn't seem to coming. Would you like a ride?"

The ravenette was surprised at his forwardness. Why was he offering her a ride when he didn't even know her? Deep down she felt that he was being genuine, but something about seemed familiar and she couldn't quite bring herself to return his kindness.

"I don't take rides from strangers", she said in a cool voice. "I'll be fine."

Jason's blue eyes twinkled at her sass and he gave her another smirk as his ride pulled up.

"Aren't you a little firecracker", he said with a laugh. "Well perhaps we won't be strangers for long Firecracker Rei".

Jason gave Rei a final wink as hopped into the waiting car and speed away. Rei was left furious at his arrogance.

"Jerk", she muttered again just as the bus finally pulled up.
