Ghost Rider Rei

I am the Spirit of Vengeance, when innocent blood is spilled I extract justice from the attackers with my Penance Stare. I am ancient, created by the Gods of Good and Evil themselves. My spirit has lived on through many over years down my bloodline. I am the Ghost Rider.

Now that line has reached across the seas to Japan and to a young girl, called Hino Rei.

"Are you sure you want to go alone Rei-chan?" Usagi asked nervously. The Inner Scouts had been studying at Makoto's for the evening and Rei and Usagi walked home together after leaving the others to go their separate ways. Now the two young girls were halfway between the temple and Usagi's house.

Rei smiled politely at her best friend and nodded.
"Hai Usagi-chan, I can take care of myself ya know!" she reminded her princess, bopping her lightly on the nose with her index finger lightly. Usagi smiled back.
"If you say so Rei-chan, see ya tommorow!" she exclaimed while running in the other direction waving behind her. Rei waved after her before heading back to the temple.

Meanwhile
A sleek motorcycle rode up to the steps of the temple and pulled up against the wall. The rider stumbled off and up the stairs to finally collapses to his knees before the alter. He yanked off the helmet and breathed heavily, his end coming closer. Hino Masanki for the first time in his life prayed to Kami for forgiveness. To forgive him for many things, leaving his daughter after her mother died while he did his job. But most of all for failing his destiny and letting the Hellfire inside him about to consume him whole.
"Rei...forgive me" he uttered before screaming as the mystical Hellfire exploded from his body, incinerating his flesh till there was only dust. The warm evening wind carried his ashes away.

Rei shuddered, as if someone had walked on her grave. She pulled her collar up and walked briskly on until she reached the stairs of her grandpas temple where came across something strange. The motor bike gleamed in the darkness, its newly bought looked made Rei walked closer. It was brand new yet someone had dumped it like trash at the temple. She found the keys still in the ignition and took them and picked up the bike. Normally she would have left it for the owner to come back but for some reason she couldn't bear leaving it, it lured her in like Usagi was lured in by chocolate.

Her trained mind sensed that there was something strange about the bike, it felt...alive..with a fire that even as Sailor Mars she had never felt. By all common sense she should have just called the police to come pick it up but she greedily wanted it for herself, once she passed a test of course. After pushing it up the stairs she wheeled it around to the back and to an old lock up shed for which she had a key. She covered HER new bike up and locked it up tight. As she walked back to the front she sniffed the air curiously and burning sulphur filled her nose. She dismissed it and went inside and to bed.
