Seventh Story- ~*Mirror, Mirror, on the...Wall?*~

"This place is quite interesting, Kori," Kuroune stated, as he looked around the little shop that they, meaning Yoko and himself, had probably passed thousands of time. It wasn't that hard to miss, yet it was also easy to miss. Alot of shops and other places were like that in the demon market.

"Yeah, interesting... Kori, how the hell did you come across this place?" Yoko asked, putting down a little object that had decided to grow claws and attach themself to his hand. Too bad they were a little too slow.

"You come across alot of places when you're on your own," Kori replied, smirking slightly when she saw that.

The small shop seemed crowed. But Kori could still make out the small, red headed, yellow eyed, lizard demon, in the bright green robes coming toward her. He shifted his glasses, making his eyes seem ten times bigger.

"Hello, Kori. An honor to have you here again," Maveilo stated, giving a slight bow.

"You attract weird demons, Kit," Yoko muttered under his breath, and Kori replied with an elbow to his stomach.

"I wanted to show you something," the lizard demon stated, moving quickly through the crowd. Kori followed silently, leaving the fox and the bat behind. Maveilo always showedec her something werid, but interesting.

"What is it?" she asked, as he pulled something out of a drawer. He handed her an oval shaped mirror, around the edges was carved the many animal demons- from six tailed kitsunes to two tailed nekos, graceful birds to slithering snakes. "Wow. It's beautiful."

"Yes. But dangerous," Maveilo replied. Kori raised her eyebrows, as in asking a question. "Well, when this mirror was created it was thought too beautiful for anyone to own or even look at. So they put a curse on it. Anyone who looks into it will see their heart's greatest desires."

"But how is seeing your heart's greatest desires a curse?" Kori stated. She had been staring into it for the past few minutes and was only getting a swirl of colors. She though she might see her family again, but no. Just a swirl of black, gray, white, orange, purple, green, red, yellow, blue, pink. You name the color, it was there.

"Ahhh, Kori. I understand what you're saying, but do you know what demons will do to get what they want. If they see their heart's greatest desires, they might go after it and that might not be their heart's real greatest desire. It's only for the moment. They might end up living a miserable life because they could've lost what they might have truly wanted in a couple of years and not realize it. Thats why you should not look into it. I mean, have you seen the way humans go after something they want. It's disgusting sometimes. But back to the mirror, if you don't go after whats in the mirror, you'll end up happier because you'll wind up with your heart's desire."

"Are you positive about that?" Kori asked. "'Cause what if you don't go after it and that truly is your heart's desire and then you lose it?"

"Well, I didn't think about that.."

"And what if your heart's greatest desire happens to be dead? You can't go after it, can you?"

"No, Kori. But you'll spend all your time with the mirror coveting what you can't have. Besides, you might think that's your heart's greatest desire, but it might not be."

Instantly, the colors turned into a person. A person that she had been thinking about quite often... Gold eyes stared back at here and it took everything in her body to make sure she didn't scream. Those eyes seemed to read her soul and she wanted to tear out her heart now that she had seen its desire: Yoko Kurama.

She handed the mirror back and stated, "Thats very nice. I gotta go. See ya." Then under her breath, "Never again."

Kori practicly ran out of the little shop, but not before noticing that half the females in the store had started droolog over Yoko. 'It was them! That was there desires. NOT MINE! No way could my heart's desire be that PERVERT!!!'

"Woah, Kori," came Kurounue's voice. "Where are you going?"

"No where."

"What did he have to show you?"

"My heart's greatest desire."

"Which was?"

"To bash Yoko's head in," Kori replied, as Yoko found them.

"Why?" he asked. "What did I do know?"

"It was her heart's greatest desire," Kurounue stated, laughing slightly.

"Yep," Kori replied. 'Except for the bashing of the head thing.'
