Prologue

'From my dreams, my hopes ...
I wish for something more than that.
When can I accomplish my-'

"What are ya yapping about now, Mizu-chan?," my lousy guardian character asked.

"Huh? Rempo!" I exclaimed. She almost scared the crap out of me.

"Jeez, when can you leave me to my prayers?" I stubbornly muttered.

That's my devilish guardian character all right, Rempo. When we met, her egg was black and red, with flaming designs on it. I didn't really like those colors, black and red. Well, black is okay. Dark colors just sometimes creep me out. I should just get used to them. It's part of my "goal" that I want to succeed.

"Oh man up!"

We both glared at each other for a brief moment.

Rempo started laughing,
"Hahaha! Oh god, you're fun to tease!"

I had just met Rempo a few weeks ago, though we aren't much cooperative. Oh gosh, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Yaneka Mizuki, 12 years old, 7th grade. About a month ago, I wished to become stronger and at least a bit more aggressive. That's how Rempo became who I want to be.

Last year in 6th grade, I was always beaten up to a pulp with bruises and black eyes. Good thing my mother was a nurse though. She understood my hardships against idiots.

But my dad got tired of it. He said for my "safety", I should transfer to another middle school while it's still summer vacation.

So right now, they're packing up to move out to Seiyo.

"If you have nicer friends at a better school, then you won't be able to get injured!" he would say.

I thought they took it too far at first, but then I started to think that maybe making new friends was a better idea. Mostly because I was just a loser, but I don't care about that. Popularity is nothing to me. I just want a chance to meet new people to trust and care for, even if it's only one.


Author's Note: Chapter 2 will probably be coming around tomorrow in the evening. (Mizuki's appearance; photo link on profile)
