Chapter one: Surprised by the hidden eyes

Once upon a time in far away land filled with mystery, magic, adventure and of course darkness, lived a fifteen year old girl named Mikan. Now Mikan wasn't your average, ordinary, everyday girl for one her name means mandarin, orange or tangerine, she had long flowy chestnut colored hair and beautiful hazel eyes (similar to topaz), she was about 5'7 (1.74-1.75m), but what only few people knew was that she had a secret, a secret that she'd rather keep hidden in the darkest corner of the abyss.

Right now she was on her way to meet up with her best friends, Hotaru, Anna Nonoko and Sumire, to head to central town together. But what went unnoticed was a pair of crimson eyes that was following every move.

After meeting they went straight towards town. Once there they saw a group of boys that they automatically recognized. These boys were no other than, Ruka, Koko, Kitsu and Yuu, their childhood friends.

"Hey!" cried Mikan with a big smile, after seeing the boys.

"Right back at ya." Replied Koko, earning him a slap on the back of the head from Sumire.

"That is not how you greet a group of ladies, idiot." Stated Sumire.

Koko suddenly stunned says "Ladies? Where? I only see four stunning girls. Oh! Sumire you're here too!" This of course ended with Sumire beating the living daylights out of him, while he cries "Permy I was only kidding chill, geez."

Everyone laughed at the normal routine, and all this was being captured by the same tantalizing crimson eyes.

"I propose we go to my parent's bakery since we are all here now." Says Anna, finally speaking up since their arrival. "All in favor."

"Yosh" came everyone's reply. And off they went.

The group of friends had been walking towards the bakery for around 10 minutes when Mikan suddenly realizes she's misplaced here bracelet, she quietly walks up to Hotaru to let her know she's going to look for it and tell the others to start without her. Hotaru nods as Mikan walks away.

'Gosh darn it! Oh all the things I had to lose it had to be that.' Thought Mikan to herself. As she was walking back from where she had just come from she was looking at the ground trying to see if she could catch a glimpse of her bracelet. Five minutes into her searching she finds it next to some bushes.

'That's odd. I don't remember walking next to any bushes.' Mikan thought as she crouched down to grab her bracelet when all of a sudden out popped a hand, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bushes.
