A scream was heard after a bullet was fired from a gun, followed by a thump on the ground. Then another bullet was fired, followed by yet another thump. The girl watched in horror behind a corner as the madman killed her parents. Police sirens could be heard from a distance away. As soon as the madman heard the sirens, he immediately bolted out of there. As soon as the man was gone, the girl came out from hiding and ran to her parents. "Mom! Dad! Please don't die! Don't leave me!" she cried out, as tears came streaking down her face, holding her parents' hands. Her mother said weakly, "Don't worry Kaho... We'll always be... in your heart..." Then it was her father's turn to speak, "Your mother's right... Kaho. You have the... rest of... your life to... live out. So don't be... sad that we're not there... with you physically..." With those words set and done, Kaho's parents had died.

Beep, beep, beep, beep

The sound of her alarm woke her up. Wiping the sleep and eye gunk out of her eye, she decided to get some breakfast.

'I've had that same dream for a month now... I should see a doctor.'

Kaho is a fifteen, going on 16,year-old girl attending high school. Kaho's parents had died nearly a year ago, leaving their only child to fend for herself. She had sold the old house that she lived in, and now lived in her own apartment. Her apartment wasn't very big. The walls were baby blue and the floor was wooden. At the top right, she had a small kitchen, which she used to make her meals with. Across from her kitchen, to the left,was her bed. Beside the bed was a medium sized, wooden dresser. Her alarm clock sat on top of it. To the south of the kitchen (bottom right), was a bathroom.

Kahohad black hair, and had dyed the tips a bright red. Her eyes were an unusual red color. Not that she didn't have enough sleep, she had plenty every day, those were her natural iris colors, it can't be helped. She was born with 'em. She had also learned karate and how to sword fight just incase somebody tried to rape, steal from, or kill her

With a combination of beauty and strength, you'd think she has a lot of friends and even a boyfriend right? WRONG! Almost every guy from her school, down to the very last jock, had asked her out, and she refused every one of them. Everywhere she looked, men were violent; guys cheating on their girlfriends, guys stealing, guys picking fights and especially... a man had killed her parents. She just downright hated men.

As for friends, most people thought she was a weirdo; some people even thought of her as a freak! This was only because of her eyes. You'd hardly see anybody with red irises. There was one girl however, who constantly bullied her about almost everything there is to Kaho. Kaho didn't really care though. There was no point in getting upset when it would only make that girl happy.

Having finished breakfast, Kaho changed out of her pajamas into a pair of black pants and a black shirt that had the word "punk" on it. She picked up her backpack and walked outside her apartment. The kinds of locks they had in this building were electric locks. Kaho punched in the number to her lock and left for school.

It usually took fifteen minutes for her to get to the place. When she got to school, people began to whisper...

"Hey look! It's that Kaho girl!"

"Yeah. She's the one with the red eyes."

"What kind of person dies their hair like that?"

A girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing apink metallic watch on her wrist, a pink skirt and a white T-shirt with a heart on it, came up to Kaho and said, "Hey there little miss vampire, did you hang out with your other vampire friends? Oh that's right, you don't HAVE any friends!" and then smirked.

Kaho merely showed no emotion nor a reaction and just walked past the girl

The girl turned around and shouted, "Hey! Didn't your parents ever teach you any manners! What bad parents you had!"

Kaho stopped walking.

The girl smirked and said, "Oh, guess I hit a sore spot huh?"

Kaho turned around and walked towards the girl but stopped in front of her, still showing no emotion. Kaho raised her hand and... SLAP!

"You dare speak about my parents like that again, and you'll get more than a light slap. You've been warned, Misora." Kaho glared at Misora for a couple of seconds, and then continued walking to the school doors.

'You'll regret that, vampire girl... you'll regret it.' Misora thought angrily.

Throughout the rest of the school day, Kaho was left alone.

At the end of the day, Kaho's teacher had assigned her class with a lot of homework, so Kaho decided to head to the library to get started on her history homework. As Kaho exited the doors of the school, she found Misora out there, seemingly as if she was waiting for her and holding some sort of object in her right hand.

Kaho eyed the object carefully.

"Why, hello there, vampire girl. Fancy meeting you here!" Misora said. Misora had noticed that Kaho was eyeing the object in her hand. Grinning, Misora threw the object into the air and caught it at the bottom of the object. Kaho's suspicions had been confirmed about the object. It was a small dagger. The dagger had a golden hilt with rubies on the side.

Kaho got into her fighting position and glared at Misora.

"Relax, miss vampire" Misora said as she grinned, "just a few cuts here and there." Then Misora suddenly went from a grin to a look of anger. "It's payback for slapping me before! Nobody slaps me!" She yelled, "Quickly girls! Restrain her!"

Suddenly four girls, from out of nowhere, ran over to Kaho and held onto her arms and legs.

Kaho was surprised by the ambush. She hadn't expected there to be anyone but her and Misora. She was also surprised at the girls' strength. Kaho had tried to wriggle her arms free, but their grips merely tightened, making it a little harder to get free. Misora began walking towards Kaho, while waving the dagger around at the same time. Kaho noticed and stopped struggling.

When Misora was right in front of Kaho, she brought the dagger up to Kaho's face and was about to make a long cut across her cheek.

Before the dagger touched her face, Kaho noticed the girls' grips had loosened a little, so taking advantage of this bad situation, Kaho used as much strength as she could muster, and lifted the two girls on her arms. The two girls screamed and clung on, not wanting to fall.

'What is she doing!' Misora thought.

As soon as Kaho had lifted the girls as high as she could make them, she brought them down with extreme force, onto the two girls holding her legs, knocking all four of the girls out. Kaho made a move to run for it.

'No! She's going to run for it! Maybe if I'm quick enough, I can still get her!' Misora though. As fast as she could, Misora tried to make a cut on Kaho.

The dagger was a few inches away from Kaho's face, but Kaho's instincts kicked in and she brought her left backhand up to block the dagger from getting her face. As the dagger struck her hand, Kaho winced in pain.

'Well, that was a stupid thing to do...' Kaho thought, still in pain.

'Well... At least I got her.' Misora thought, grinning

Using her right hand, Kaho grabbed the hilt of the dagger and pulled it. When the dagger was out, the tip of it was dripping with blood. Her hand was dripping blood as well. Kaho looked at the dagger for a few seconds and brought her head up to look at Misora.

'Oh no! She's going to kill me!' Misora thought, frightened. Misora tried to runaway, but stopped when she heard a smashing sound.

When Misora turned around she saw Kaho standing right beside a big boulder holding a shattered dagger.

Kaho had walked to the boulder and smashed the dagger against it.

Misora began to run, and kept on running.

As soon as Misora was out of sight, Kaho collapsed, tired, but still conscious. Having caught her breath, Kaho got up and walked to her backpack. When she got to her backpack, Kaho reached inside, looking for some bandages. Once she found them, she used her right hand to wrap up her left.

'This'll help stop the bleeding,' Kaho thought.

Kaho slung the backpack over her shoulder and walked to the library.

When she got to the library, Kaho couldn't find any books about ancient China. How could she do her history homework without the information?

As Kaho was lost in thought, she heard a voice.

"Come to me..." it said.

'WHAT?' Kaho thought, as she was brought out of her thoughts.

Kaho looked around, but didn't see anyone talking to her.

"Come to me..." it said again.

This time, Kaho listened and heard it coming from a dim hallway. She decided to follow it, curious to know who was saying it. At the end of the hallway, she reached a door.

'Important Documents Reference Room, huh? I haven't seen this room yet. Gotta be something in there I can use for my homework…' Kaho thought and opened the door to a large room filled with dusty books on shelves.

'Hmmm... Ancient Japan, ancient Greece, ancient Rome...' she thought, listing the books as she walked along.

A red book seemed to catch her eye.

'The Universe of the Four Gods? It's got Chinese letters on the spine too. Looks like I found a good book.' she thought happily.

Kaho brought out the book, then sat down and began reading.

Here in lies the tale of a girl who obtained the seven celestial warriors of Suzaku. She obtained omnipotent powers and made her wishes come true. The story itself is an incantation. Those who finish reading it shall receive the power. As soon as the page is turned, the story will become the truth and begin.

'Sounds like a fiction book... Oh well. It's been a while since I've had a good read anyway,' Kaho thought.

Kaho turned the page and a sudden burst of red light engulfed her. The cry of a bird was heard as well...
