Chapter I

Along the way into the deep blue skies with white clouds that started to darken, covered with loud thunder, wild winds, and devious strikes of deep saturated colors of lighting.

How she long the way to live a better life. She had asked herself one simple question twice; why is she even here...wondering curiously into the great unknown of this world filled with nothing but sadness? She lived a miserable life in this foul filth, that people called earth. One would think that they've been through it all. The pain and suffering. Well, she has. Walking helplessly on the face of the earth, people sprouting unpleasant words about her. She was different from them. Never normal, but actually live like a normal person. Have you ever had people looking and looming around you differently? She had all of that. All of the abuse, accuses and also...ungreatful name-calling. She was just a typical girl, who had pink hair that she couldn't even prove that was natural. No one never dared to look at her like a person, just some beast that would hurt a little helpless fly. But surprisingly she wasn't like that. She was just a lonely girl, just looking for a friend to talk to, without any sort of problem.

The bell rung, signaling that it was the end of the day. She packed up her materials, getting ready to go home for the day. As she walked through the hallways of the school, she started to hear whispers float around and behind her as she walked. "Just who does she think she is? Walking around, thinking she's all high and mighty?"

"Yeah. She should know better to think she's better than us, with that nasty hair of hers."

"I heard this rumor going around about her hating humans, like us and saying that we were the bad ones."

"She should talk. She's a freak, who likes to pretend that she's a vampire. I bet she goes around trying to drink everyone else's blood."

"Leave it alone. You should know that people like her doesn't belong here. Why doesn't she just disappear, already? She knows she's not wanted here."

"Yeah. I wouldn't feel sorry, if something bad happens to her, or not."

As one of those girls said those words, she felt tears falling freely from her eyes. Sometimes, she usually didn't take what they say about her true, but this was taking too far. She was nothing more than a monster. A monster, who lets people step all over her. 'They want me to disappear, hmm? I guess this world does have a problem with me being here, then. If that's what they want, I'll give them that wish tonight.

She silently woke up, and got dressed in some dark clothes; black hoodie, baggy pants, and shoes. That way, no one would be able to recognize her and punish her for trying to leave town. 'Leave town.' she thought in her head. Yes. Leaving the town was the only option that was in her head. She knew that she had no money, or anything to keep her alive, but it was for the best. People in this already feared her, they already hate her with the passion, and any minute they'd probably come after her with torches and pitch forks in their hands to force out of this town. What else could be dangerously new to her?

As she finally stepped outside, she pulled the hood over her head, so that no one would be able to notice her. She looked up towards the stars, that were shining along with the stars and the moon. This was it. She was finally leaving Kyoto...without a single regret left in her. She had never given thought about what town she'd traveled to, yet. 'If I was someone, what's the only place I would go to?' she asked herself in her head. She couldn't stay here in Kyoto, that's for sure. Just about everyone in this town is practically after her blood, right about now. She silently sat on a bus bench, trying to think about town to go to. She wanted to be anywhere else, but here in this awful town.

Before she can think about it any longer, a bus pulled up beside her. The doors were pushed opened to reveal a male bus driver, who was grinning from ear to ear at her. "Well, what's a beautiful little thing like you doing out here, all alone." She gave no answer, but walked up the black steps and stood in the aisle. The seats were empty, practically no one, not even a single person was on the bus. Letting out a sigh, she just sat in the front behind the bus driver. "Where you headed, sweetie?"

Leaning her head against the window, she gave a solemn answer. "Some place far away. Anywhere, but here."

The man gave a smile in response. "I see then."

She slowly and gently opened her eyes, due to the sun glaring brightly through the window of the bus. She turned her head, letting her eyes slowly adjust to the light of the early morning. Everything practically looked the same to her. The bus was still empty and she was still here. On the bus in the same spot behind the bus driver. She glanced out the window and let out a slight gasp in awe. The town of Kyoto that use to be in front of her sights was there anymore. She was in a while different town now. To her, the town seemed extremely beautiful to her. So many people were walking around, holding various things, the buildings were nicely built. "Where are we? What is this place?" Just as she asked, the bus came to a stop, near the bus bench. She carefully stepped off the transportation, with the look of confusion.

"Welcome to Karakura, child. You'll love it here...trust me." With nothing else left to say, the bus drove her, leaving the girl confused. She looked at the retrieving bus with a somewhat, frustrated and confused look.

There was only one thing she could think about, right now. "Now what?" She was in another town away from Kyoto, now what's left to do?

She sat on the tall green grass, holding a hand to her stomach. "I'm so hungry. If I knew I was going to end up like this, I..." she trailed off, leaving half of her sentence blank. She had no money, no food, or anything that could probably keep her alive for a few days. "What else can be worse?"

Just as she asked that, a loud monstrous roar filled the air above her. She glanced up towards the sky and let out a gasp in sheer horror. The sky that was once whole, was now replaced with a huge black void. And strangely a huge skeleton-like monster started climbing out of it. It had penetrating golden eyes that said death within them. The only thing she was able to do was just sit there and stare, like it was some kind of UFO, or something. "What is that?" That was the only question she had in her head. She pinched herself, hoping that she'd wake up from this dream. But she was sadly mistaken, when nothing happened. "Please, let this all be a bad dream." she prayed as she stood up, ready to run somewhere safe.

Before she could do anything else, it released a loud roar once again. She took this as her cue and ran for dear life. She ran through different areas of the world, trees, parks and whatever else she met in her way with the hope that it would lose her. But for some reason, it just wouldn't stop chasing her. It was like endless running for her, and for the monster it was endless hunting for food.

After a long and exhausting run, she was now panting and walking with difficulty, having reached the limit of her endurance, while the creature was only a few meters away behind her. She leaned against a wall, letting herself catch her breath. She didn't have anything else in mind to do. She was so scared out of her mind right now to think about anything else. She had been running from that strange creature, for God knows how long. She thought about what those people said about her. Their words were filled with acid of hatred. They looked at her like she was a diseased insect, that needed to be squashed immediately. 'Should I keep going...or should I just...give up...'

A loud hollowed roar interrupted her thoughts. She glanced towards the hollow, with a fearful expression. She didn't move. She couldn't move, seeing that the monstrous eyes were pinning her down, like a prey. The only thing she could do was nothing. She watched as the hollowed hand came swiping down at her. Right now, everything seemed slow...very slow. She just hoped to herself, that all of this was just a bad dream. Sadly, it wasn't when she felt a large amount of pain shoot through her body. It felt like a huge burn, than a huge cut to her.

She felt herself hit the cold ground beneath her. She stared up at the giant hand that was coming near her. She just wanted to sleep. To sleep ... and to never wake up. As the wind beat down on her and the cold snow gently caressed her cold skin, she reached up and probed at a large gash on the side of her body. She felt the warmth of her liquid run out of her body. She felt cold and weak. No matter how much pain she went though, she felt as though it would all come to an end someday. She felt like she had something to live for, even though she knew she didn't. All she lived for was to be mocked and teased at school. To have people look down on her and watch as other people around her hurt her. To never be loved; only hated in life. She closed her eyes, waiting for the end of her to come. But for some unknown reason...it never came. But heard a sickening gush from in front of her and followed by a loud roar of pain. But she didn't care...she just wanted to rest and never wake up. The cold was taking over her body, making it to where she could barely move.

She didn't care. She wanted to leave this life. She wanted to go somewhere she was loved.

She wanted to die. As she felt her life slowly slipping away from her, she smiled sadly.

But she didn't feel the arms gently wrapping around her body and pick her up against a soft chest. She didn't hear the soft words gently whispered to her, but when she pealed open her eyes, shivering violently, she could see the hopeful, half-smile of the boy that held her so softly, like she'd never been held before.

And his bright, orange hair reminded her of the sun which she had hoped never to see again.

Hey, guys. I'm finally back and ready to write again. Sorry that I left you all hanging so suddenly last year, I know you all are probably pissed with me for leaving like this. I know. I just had college to deal with that's all. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me for my actions. I know that it is no exscuse to leave you guys. I feel ashamed for what I've done and I really want to apologize for what I did. I hope you can forgive me and enjoy the story.
