Chapter 1

~Memory/Flashback/Dream~

Whistles blowing, children laughing, the bouncing of balls, the sound of metal swings, the sound of pattering feet against the pavement. It was a schoolyard full of children playing, having fun, laughing to their hearts content. That is, all except…for one. One girl, a small child, she sat in a corner out of the way, secluded in her own solitude. It was as though she were completely invisible, no one would even talk to her or go near her…unless…it was to torment, torture, taunt or terrorize, need I say more? To make matters worse, she had no parents…meaning she was subject to even more ridicule than she was already subject to.

FLASH (flashback)

"Hey-y-y-y look everybody, it's the freak" it was the boy with short light blue hair, dark blue accent, and light reddish brown mahogany eyes. His face held a malicious grin as he stepped closer. His name…is Mitch, Mitch Anderson and he's a little devil, though I would prefer…oh I don't know…a demented demon from you know where. "Hey, aren't ya gonna talk……hmmmmm?" he just teased me to no end. "HEY, I asked you a question. Now I want an answer." He was right in front of my face, just sitting there glaring at me.

"I don't think that she's going to do anything Mitch" it was his friend Derick, and he wasn't any better when it came to leaving me alone.

"Alright then…HIIYYAAA" THUD. I hit the ground hard, hitting my head on the pavement. That's right, he had kicked me and he had kicked me good. Him and Derick came over, standing in front of me and looking down upon me, while Mitch sent one more kick to my stomach. "That'll teach ya to listen"

"Yeah, that'll te-BEEP" wha-?

~END DREAM~

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. It was my alarm going off, and it was stinking annoying. BEEP. BEEP. BEE- BANG. I hit it, shutting it up on contact. I then looked at the clock, it read 12:30.

"Oh crap! I'm gonna be late!" I shouted, getting out of bed. I ran to the closet pulling out some clothes, along with my work uniform. I ran to the bathroom and changed, then brushed my teeth. After I was done, I put my stuff in my bag, making sure to grab my wallet and key and I was out the door. Sigh. I swear, ever since that solar eclipse thing last month, my life has got this thing about getting worse. "Man this sucks, I have so many things to do before work, it's not even funny" you see, I also have another job and it's basically pick up and delivery. Ok first stop…the bakery. "Hey Mr. Sanaku. Sorry about the delay."

"Oh its alright Kira, here I've got 3 things that I need you to deliver, alright?"

"Sure, what are they?" I asked wondering what it was.

"I need you to deliver two loafs of bread and a box of pastries to Mr. Askuno." He said while handing me a box and bag. "This cake needs to go to a Mrs. Kintami" he set the boxed cake the counter. "And three Apple pies, a loaf of bread, and a box of cookies goes to a Mrs. Usagi. And here are the addresses for Mrs. Usagi and Mrs. Kintami" he handed me the rest of the order and the addresses.

"Hey, Mr. Sanaku? Is it ok if I use one of the delivery bikes?

"Sure. I don't see how your going to deliver all of that with out one." He said laughing a little bit.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Sanaku. Bye."

"See you tomorrow Kira, and good luck"

"Thank you" and with that I was out of there.

FastForward~

I had finished delivering the other 2 and was now on my way to this Mrs. Usagi person. **Usagi…Usagi… where have I heard that name before?** I arrived and knocked on the door. "Hello? Anyone home? I have a delivery here from the bakery." Sigh. I guess nobodies home.

"Did someone say bakery!?" I was then tackled to the ground.

"Wait a sec… Serena!?"

"Yep that's me. Hey wait a minute, KIRA!? Is that you?" she shouted nearly blowing out my poor ear drums, and then started pulling my cheek incessantly.

"HEY! STOP THAT!!!" I shouted smacking her grubby hands away as I sat up.

"It is you" THUD. I was on the ground AGAIN.

"SERENA!!! Let go of Kira" a little voice shouted from behind Serena.

Then, "AAHHH!!! LET GO LET GO LET GO!!!" the kid had grabbed Serena by the hair and dragged her off of me, allowing me to stand up. After she 'disposed' of Serena, I could see that pink hair that was always up and those cute little pink eyes and smiling face.

"Hey Rini, long time no see" I said.

"KIRA" then the next thing I knew, I had Rini jumping into my arms, though I had to hold her with one arm and the stuff from the bakery in the other.

"Whoa, careful now, I don't wanna drop anything, right Serena?" I was grinning now. Oh how I just loved messing with Serena.

"Gim'me!" Serena lunged at me, Rini and the baked goods still in my arms.

"AH Serena STOP!!" I shouted trying to keep my balance, but when she tried the second time…not so much. .. That was all that was heard, as everything went crashing down, Rini and all.

"uhh….SerENA" Rini whined. One of the apple pies had landed straight in Serena's face, one on Rini's head, and the other one…well…the other one had landed straight smack dab in the middle of my face. As for the cookies, they were crushed. Some of them had gone down my shirt, some in my hair, some in Rini's hair and what ever was left, was either somewhere on Serena or on the ground. After Serena whipped her face off, she finally notice the mess that covered me.

"Opps…ehehehe…mm.."

"Grrr……..SerENA!!!"

"Look I'm sorry really ok. Ohhh…SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY."

"Grrrr….GREAT, just great. Serena you do realize that I have to go to work don't you?"

"…opps…"

"GAHHH YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE!!!" I sat Rini down, stood up, brushed myself off the best that I could and left.

"SerENA!!! Now look what you did!!! You, you...clumsy dits, I can't believe your supposed to be my mother." (she said that once I was out of ear shot). I stood at the bus stop still trying to clean myself off the best that I could.

"And that's exactly why I don't hang around Serena, especially on days that I have to work." The bus pulled up, allowing me to enter. When the bus driver saw me, he wasn't too happy.

"No sitting on the seats today, ok kid?" I nodded my head and entered. I walked down the isle not paying any attention to who exactly was on the bus or where they were located, and grabbed onto one of the handles.

"Hey Ki-ra, man you're a mess. Let me guess…hm…the only way that you could look that bad, or at least worse than usual, is when you have a run in with Serena." Oh crap, I knew that voice anywhere, and I despised it with all my heart…Mitch…Anderson.

"Grrr….shut up and leave. me. alone" god did I hate him.

"Yeah Kira, you look terrible" great…Mitch and Derick.

"Grrr…would you two just shut up and leave me alone!"

"No" they both said at the same time (Mitch and Derick). While they annoyed me, I didn't notice the guy behind me looking rather puzzled. RING RING RING RI-

"Hello?"

"Hey Kira!" uhh…great. Sigh.

"What do you want Serena? And if it has anything to do with getting more food, then I've got two words for you…forget it" I could hear Mitch and Derick snicker as I talked to Serena.

"Well…there's that…and I wanted to know if you would watch Rini for me for about a week starting tomorrow?…"

"Grrr….and why exactly should I? I mean, you know…after you ruined my clothes and nearly caused me to miss the bus to work?"

"HEY!!! THAT'S MEAN and besides, I HAVE A DATE WITH DARIEN!!!" she screamed into the phone.

"Ah..." I held my hand to my ear which was now throbbing while holding the phone far from my ear. Now Mitch and Derick really were laughing their heads off. "Grrrr…..ok first off, YOU TWO SHUT UP and secondly…Serena?"

"Yeah?"

"CAN IT" I then shut my phone and turned it off. Sigh. I then put a finger in my ear moving it around trying to stop the ringing in my ear.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"What the heck!?" Mitch and Derick were cracking up. I sighed shacking my head and pinched the bridge of my nose. I let go of the handle for a moment to put my cell phone away and what happens? THUD. CRACK. "mm….." I could hear Mitch snicker after he had tripped me, causing me to fall, crack my head against the side of one of the sets, and the fact that my cell phone was now broken. "Grrr….what is wrong with you?" I never could understand what his problem was.

"What? I didn't do anything" Great…now he's trying to play innocent.

"Grrrr…" I then proceeded to get back up, when the bus suddenly shifted sending me back down to the floor. Mitch and Derick just laughed at my misfortune as usual. I just decided to sit down on the empty seat beside me for a moment, though a moment is one moment too much.

"Driver! She's sitting on the seats" I glared at him (Mitch).

"Why you little-"

"What did I tell you about sitting on my seats today girl?"

"Uh…I'm sorry, it won't happen again"

"It better not, now clean it off" sigh.

"Hehe"

"Grrrr……" I pulled out a rag and started to whip the seat off, though while I was doing that, Mitch the jerk that he is just couldn't keep his hands to himself. "What the HECK!?" he had taken my wallet out of my back pocket, while putting his other hand on my but and shoved me into the seat. I hit my head on the metal part of the bus and groaned while rubbing my now tender head. The guy that was standing behind me looked taken back and disgusted (at the way that I was being treated and what Mitch had just done).

"Driver? She's laying on the seat" oh no.

"That's it little missy, sorry but off the bus today"

"What!? But I didn't do anything!!!" I couldn't believe this.

"I said off" I sighed and stood up, I glared at Mitch and Derick, I still hadn't noticed that he had taken my wallet.

"Jerks!!!" I started to take a step forward when he tripped me, making me fall straight on my face. "Mm…ow…" I pushed myself up with my elbows, as I held my nose. "Mm…" the guy behind me sighed stepping forward in front of me and crouched down extending his hand. I looked at him, a little unsure of what to do, when Mitch just had to open his big mouth.

"Hey, why don't you take his hand? Oh yeah, now I remember, it's because you don't trust anyone, isn't it?" both of us glared at Mitch.

"I can't trust anyone anymore because of people like you Mitch" I said harshly, though I did take the guys hand and allowed him to help me up. I heard Mitch and Derick gasp as they saw me except the man's hand, and then they glared at him. "Mm…" I held my nose seeing as it was still sore. The man kindly walked me off of the bus and stood there with me as the bus left. "You know, you really didn't have to do that." I said turning around with sad eyes.

"Oh, but I did and here is your bag" he said handing my bag to me.

"Thank you. Uh….I think I need some aspirin." I whined a little to myself as I reached into my back pocket to find…nothing? "What the?" I searched frantically for my wallet, but found nothing. "Dammit…m…I'm so screwed" my voice was sad as a tear rolled down my face.

"Are you alright miss?" I completely forgot about him until he put his hand on my shoulder making me jump and pull away. I turned to him sadly as another tear rolled down my cheek and shattered on the ground.

"I'm…I'm sorry, but I have to go…before I lose the last job that I have. Thank you again…" I then turned and ran as fast as I could, though I already knew that I might be fired.
