CHAPTER 1

~ The Secret Door ~

YEAR 2030

~Creak~

The old door of the basement creaked. "Hey! Are you sure you really want to do this?" A girl with green hair asked unsurely.

"We are already here. This is not the time to back out." A pink-haired girl answered.

It was about four o'clock in the morning. Four six year old girls snuck into a dark basement. The pink-haired one checked outside of the basement in case there was someone who was following them. After she confirmed no one had followed them, she closed the door quietly.

She invited her friends to come to her house for what she called 'adventures.' They all slept over that night, not knowing what the little girl was planning.

She had to beg her friends' parents to let them stay at her house because if the four of them were together for a long period of time, something unexpected might happen. This made her parents very suspicious. However, they got permission after a large amount of ingenious white lies she told them.

Still, the kids were not completely trusted, so they had to sneak through the house during the early hours of the morning in order not to get caught while embarking on their little adventure.

The pinkette told her friends that she had found a door behind an ancient shelf hidden in their basement. With the help of her friends, she would discover the mysterious wonders of what lie beyond that door.

…o0o…

"Hey guys! Guess what! I found something cool!" A pink haired girl, Akari, shouted as she approached her friends.

Her three friends all turned to face her. "You have found a place to wander around, again?" The girl with light brown hair guessed with a roll of her eyes. "Come on Akari, give your maidservants a break. Yes, your parents do pay them, but that's for cleaning your house, not to search for you for hours."

"No, that's not it! But I did find a new place near here. We can visit it later." Akari grinned. "But you're wrong, Nanami-nee."

"Then what's this 'It?'" The purple-haired one, Chiyoko, questioned with a skeptical look on her face.

Akari smiled, her eyes harboring a secret. "When I was in the basement, I found a door behind this shelf. I need your help to move it, though."

Nanami suggested, "Why don't you ask your parents? I mean, they are bigger and stronger than us."

"Nanami-nee, I wouldn't ask you to help me unless I didn't want my parents to know." Akari sighed. "Let's try to keep this to ourselves."

All four girls nodded in sync.

"It sounds fun, sort of. Why don't we give it a try?" Chiyoko shrugged indifferently.

"Chiyo-tan!" The green-haired girl, Miu, protested.

"Come on guys, we won't mess anything. We'll just explore what's inside the secret door." Akari persuaded.

"Fine, but if we get in trouble I'll blame you. Got that?" Nanami said, using her infamous intimidating stare that she had learned from her mother.

"As if that will threaten her," Chiyoko rolled her eyes.

Akari smirked evilly as they walked their way out of their school ground.

…o0o…

"So, where's this door you're talking about?" Nanami looked at Akari.

Akari pointed at an ugly, brown shelf. It looked misshapen and that it could come crumbling down any minute. Nanami looked through a small gap behind the shelf and, indeed, there was a door!

They clustered together at the left side of the shelf and started pushing it with all their might. In a matter of seconds, the shelf fell down with a loud crash. Thankfully for them, the basement was completely soundproof. If it wasn't for the walls surrounding them, the girls would be in a massive heap of trouble.

"Whoa! We didn't even break a sweat," Nanami exclaimed with a grin. "Are you sure you really needed our help?" She raised an eyebrow suspiciously at Akari.

Akari smirked triumphantly. "Not really."

The three of them gaped at her, even though this wasn't a surprise. Then their expressions gradually turned into glares.

"You," Nanami spat, putting venom into each letter. "You were just trying to get us in trouble, weren't you?"

"Hey, it's not fair if I'm the only one that gets in trouble all the time." Akari raised both of her hands up feigning surrender.

The brunette lunged at Akari to choke her to death. Chiyoko and Miu jumped on Nanami to prevent them from getting into a bigger mess.

"Come on guys, chill. It's not like we'll be caught, right? Besides we're already here. It's now or never." She reasoned.

With a lot of grumbling and mumblings, the girls agreed to partake in Akari's idiotic plan.

Finally, Akari opened the door, with three little girls hiding behind her. The room was so dark and had a mystical feeling. It smelled musty and they all wrinkled their noses in unison.

"Umm, you don't think there are spiders in there, right? M-miu is not too fond of spiders o-or snakes; Miu doesn't like them either." Miu shivered as her mind conjured up images of the eight-legged creatures and slimy reptiles.

Chiyoko rolled her eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time that day and sighed. "Oh, come on Miu, something much greater than spiders or snakes could be in here."

"Something scarier?" Miu shrieked.

"Uh, no, no." Nanami waved her hands frantically. "Don't listen to Chiyoko."

Akari smirked. She never knew that Miu had a fear for spiders. So they managed to keep a secret from me, huh? She thought to herself. I could use this information later.

A cool breeze blew, whispering secrets. Miu was frozen on the spot and Nanami joined her. Chiyoko bit her lip as Akari took the first step.
