A Different Heart

"You like them?"

The deep voice startled Rei as she stood staring through the flower shop window. She was irritated with herself for being caught off guard and for thinking for one moment Kaidou-san?

It wasn't him. Of course it wasn't. It was the new boy - one of the new boys - from Usagi's school. He was taller than the others with reddish brown hair pulled back from his forehead. It gave him a thoughtful expression. His aura was strange. Rei made a note of that. She would investigate later, when she was back at the shrine.

"I like lilies," she allowed, turning back to the display. "But not this kind."

"Why not? They're lilies just like the rest."

"I like white lilies; specifically Casablanca lilies. These are tiger lilies."

"Yes, I know that." He put his hands in his pockets, staring out from deep-set eyes. "They symbolise passion; specifically, they mean "I will love you forever". They're also edible here, aren't they?"

"The bulbs are." Rei glanced at him. "You said 'here' like you're not from around here."

He shrugged. "I've travelled a lot." He stared at the tiger lilies again. "I think I'll buy them..."

"Are you a passionate person?" Rei asked, thinking that Minako would be proud of her (and envious).

"I wouldn't say that; but when I do love, I love constantly. And," he added with a sad smile, "I love the colour orange."

Then he was gone, the shop door clicking behind him. Rei stood in thought for a moment, then walked off. She had some meditating to do.
