Rei had traveled a long way to get stuck living with his Aunt Meridith and Uncle Benjamen and his cousin Shena. . His parents had died in a car wreck and now this was were he was staying for the rest of his high-school year. He was going to be 18 soon and he could not wait to be able to get out of here. He didn't like the small town as it had a old town feeling, and his aunt and uncle were always driving him crazy, not giving him any space for him self accept for sleep. He hated the town, he just wanted to leave and never come back, and Shena was only 12 years old, and seemed to want to get into everything that was his personal belongings. Books, movies, games, ect, she would go into his room and dig it up. Worse then that, they had a dog named Shadow, and after his arrival to the house, the dog had disappeared, and his uncle accused Rei of supposedly doing something with his dog, why it wasn't around. Rei of course did nothing with he dog, he assumed that perhaps some one let it out of the gate or something by accident. For all he knew the dog was probably happy getting free somewhere else, hunting ducks and terrorizing geese or something.
