A/N: Well, here goes my first story on Fanfiction. Just watched this anime a night ago and loved it. Hated how it ended, even if I did see why it how to go down that way. Now I'm doing anything and everything related to it, including writing this story.

A Meeting and a Decision

The sidewalks were crowded with people going about their everyday business. Three high school girls walked along, blending into the crowd as they laughed cheerfully. Suddenly one giggled and said "Wow, he's pretty hot!"

Both girls glanced over to where their friend was looking. One looked with a face that clearly stated her indifference, but the other looked with excitement and curiosity until her eyes landed on who her friend was talking about.

"You can't be serious Eri" she exclaimed! The girl, Eri, looked at her friend with shock, "Don't tell me you don't see it. I mean he's hot!" Her friend gave an exasperated snort, "Maybe so, but look at him! He's obviously some hoodlum or gangster, and what's up with his company" she replied.

Eri glanced back at the tall man with vibrant red hair who had a cigarette clenched in between his lips. Beside him were two males, one slightly taller with blond, shoulder length hair and the other was shorter than the other two with a smile on his face and light brown hair that covered the back of his neck and descended down his ears.

The strangest, though, was the little girl with long silver hair wearing a red dress and matching hat attached to the red haired man's jacket sleeve. Eri turned back to her friend with wide eyes and said "Your right! Do you think those people are models! They're all so beautiful!" Her friend face palmed with a groan.

"Can you believe her Azami?...Azami?" the girl asked. Both girls turned to look at their friend Azami. Shocked was the only word that could describe their expressions. "Wh-what's the matter" Eri exclaimed.

The three girls had been friends for three years and never once had they seen Azami cry or show any emotion that wasn't sarcastic or happy, but when they turned to their friend, tears were streaming down her face. "So…sad...lonely. I can practically feel it coming off in waves" she whispered.

The two other girls shared a worried glance, but cried out when she started to move towards the before mentioned group. "Azami! Come back! There's no telling who those people are" her friend cried while her other friend Eri just looked on nervously.

She made her way towards the group earning their attention. With tears flowing down her face she looked up at the red haired man. He looked down at her with a quirked eyebrow that asked the question "what do you want?" without him having to speak, while the others just stared at her albeit the light brown haired boy had a smile on his face that spoke his good nature and well intentions. "Please" Azami said, "let me stay with you."

The brown haired boy's smile grew while a smirk came to the blonde's face. The red haired man's face looked down at her, his eyes boring into hers as if searching her soul. He glanced back at the brown haired boy, who pulled out his phone, then nodded eagerly. The red haired man offered his hand to the girl.

She looked down at it with a smile, before it burst into flames. She took a startled half-step back. Eyes flashing up to the red haired man's face, which now wore a smirk. Without another second's hesitation, she held his eyes and grabbed his hand.

Expecting a pain that never came, she glanced down in amazement at her hand being engulfed in flames, yet not being burned. She felt a heat spread up her arm and onto her neck. It then receded and the fire was extinguished .

"Congratulations!" the brown haired boy exclaimed, "You're now a member of Homra!" Azami looked over to the boy in confusion. "Homra!?" "Azami! Are you okay! We saw the flames…Uh..How aren't you hurt?!" her two friends exclaimed as they ran up to her.

She glanced around at her surroundings and noticed that no one was paying them any attention. In fact, it looked as if they were pointedly not looking at the group as they walked by.

Azami put her hand up to her neck where all the heat had pinpointed. She saw her friends eyes widen and Eri exclaimed "How did you get that tattoo?!" Azami looked at them and then back at the group she had just approached. She felt a grin come to her face as she turned to her friends and replied "Homra."

Her friend's faces paled as they looked at the others. "You guys can go on a head" she said, "I'll see you tomorrow during school." "But," they began. "Seriously, go. I'm fine." After casting one last uneasy glance at the group, they departed.

"Care if I ask young lady, what was it, Azami? why did you decide to join Homra?" the blond man asked, his smirk now replaced with a questioning look. Azami looked into the eyes of the red haired man and realized that he could be none other than Mikoto Suoh, the leader of Homra.

Right then, everything changed for her. The others noted how her gaze hardened with determination. "I have a dream," she said, "and being a part of Homra and beneath Mikoto Suoh is the only way I'll be able to achieve it."

The brown haired boy smiled as he introduced himself, "I'm Tatara Totsuka, this here is Izumo Kusanagi," he said pointing to the blond man, "this is Anna Kushina" he pointed to the little girl who starred up at her with an emotionless face, "and you obviously already know our King, Mikoto Suoh." Azami smiled. "Azami Adachi" she replied.

Tatara Totsuka laughed happily and said, "Welcome to Homra, Adachi-san. I look forward to guiding you. I never thought King would actually perform the initiation out in the open like this! He must have saw something pretty interesting in you!"
