Chapter 1

"Expect an unexpected things along the way."

Lights flickering as I pass by while the cool breeze of darkness surrounding me. I looked up in the sky to see the stars but I realized it was only the moon that is shining above. I walk alone on the street watching every step of the way just to avoid danger. Finally, I had reached my way to my house. My house may not be so big and attractive but I am already contented with it than to have a luxurious house but along with very busy family members.

I took my keys out of my bag to open the door when suddenly the door opened. "Woah. Your home." Greeted by my one and only brother Youichi. Youichi is only one year older than me. His hair is colored silver . He doesn't show too much emotion to others . I love him no matter what. "Yeah. Sorry I'm late. Did I make you and mom worry?" I replied with a tired voice. "What else do you think?"

"Can you move so I can pass, your blocking my way to heaven." I informed him. Fortunately he let me pass. As I enter I placed my bag immediately on the sofa. "By the way, Mom almost got crazy thinking of you but luckily she suddenly fell asleep." He stated, looking at me over his shoulder. I was about to reply when he got out of the house.

I walked to the living room. And there I saw her laying with a worried face as she sleep.

Watching my mom while sleeping always make me smile. Her love for me and my brother is very unconditional. Even though dad left us after my 5th birthday, she worked hard just to feed ourselves. I chuckled when I remembered the time when I fell on the floor and hurt my knees because of my enemies, when she saw me crying she suddenly scared my enemies making them go crazy and starting that day, my enemies went away.Oh, What can I do without her?

"Honey? Is that you?" she asked in a very worried tone. "Yes mother. Sorry for making you worry." I apologized. Maybe I should get home quickly starting tomorrow, I don't want mother to call the police just to report me, missing even though I'm not. But isn't bad to overtime with some of my friends? Perhaps I shall tell her about that.

My mother sit up to hug me. I closed my eyes and hugged her back. And then after few minutes she let go of me. "Why are you late?"

"I was with my friends." I answered quickly. But its true. I'm with Hotaru. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't even knew that she will need my help."

"Fine. But tell someone about it when your going with a friend."

"Fine. Case closed." I declared. "Just rest mom. Its night already. Try to relax, even for a bit." I told her. She nodded and kissed my forehead. "Good night."

"Good night."

I woke up late in the morning. The sunshine is warm and welcoming. Quickly, I washed myself and prepared our breakfast.

"Good morning." I greeted them, showing them my smile with full of love. My brother Youichi as usual, nodded and sat down to my right. "Honey." She called my attention. " I going somewhere to do my business with my client. She lives far away from here. I'm afraid that I might get back here after a week."

"Its okay, mom." I assure her.

"Youichi, take care of Mikan okay?" He nodded.

After taking our breakfast, she bid us goodbye. I hope that nothing will happen to her. I wonder what will happen today?. Youichi and I study in the same school. Suddenly, I remembered something important. "Youichi. What date is today?" I asked anxiously.

"August 2."

Shoot. The release of my favorite book is today. I should hunt it as early as I can.

"Oh, Youichi, I need to go to a bookstore." I told him. "Oh and by the way I may come home late." I added but he is still staring at me. But I'm used to his attitude. He doesn't even want me to call him nii-chan.

"Go on." He replied.

It turned out the way I predicted. I, again got the first copy of it. Waiting for the bookstore to open is very tiring. I smiled and clutched my book on my side. Books are my treasures. They make my life more colorful. I can't wait to start reading this book. I giggled as I walk. The beautiful scenery on the fountain caught my attention, unexpectedly someone bumped on me. "Ouch…"

"Darn it. Are you blind?" Asked by a husky, irritated, angry voice.

"Excuse me? You were the one who bumped on me, Not I!" I shouted.

"It wasn't my fault since you were the one who is daydreaming."

"I wasn't really daydreaming!" I quickly replied. Then something hit me. My book. I turned to the fountain and there I saw my book. Soaked. My newly book. My Precious book.

"NO! NO! NO!" I screamed. The black-haired guy grabbed my book from the fountain and handed it to me. "I won't accept that" I angrily told him. "Not until you buy me the new one." I added.

He raised his eyebrows then said "Fine. Suit yourself." His eyes turned to look away the back to me again. He dropped the book on the ground then said "I hate wasting my time". After his last words, he walked away leaving me without paying my book. Nice.
