Chapter 1 : An unexpected encounter

"AHHH! I'm late! So late!" Kanazaki Mori desu~, 16 years old, currently studying in Ohgaku Gakuen.

Mori rushed out of the house, trying to wear her socks as she came out…. "Oujou-sama! Hold on, wait for us!" Ignoring those words, Mori continued running until she saw her school. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into small alley, another hand covering her mouth. "Who is it? A kidnapper?" Mori thought to herself as she tried to struggle out of the mysterious stranger's grip.

"Shhh…and stop moving, I won't hurt you or anything, just shut it." The voice was hoarse but it was definitely a boy's voice. To be told by someone to "shut it" didn't go too well with Mori. She stomped the stranger's foot and jabbed him in the stomach. "What? Cause I'm a girl gives you the right to boss me around?" shouted a very irritated Mori. The boy held onto his foot and clutched his stomach, howling in pain… Just then a voice said, "Found you, boy." Suddenly, Mori and the boy were surrounded by a gang of yakuza who apparently carried weapons. "Kiro-daka gang? What are they doing here? This isn't their territory…" Mori mumbled to herself…

"SHIT… Stand behind me, I'll protect you." The boy moved in front of Mori, his shadow covering her, as if he really meant to shield her with his whole body. They were out of the alley and Mori was finally able to look at the boy clearly. His eyes looked weary and tired; his clothes were torn and battered. He looked as though he hadn't bathed in days and was covered in so many bruises that he could barely stand. The group started to charge forward and Mori ran forward and gave a hard kick in the face to the man at the front of the group. She spun around and punched the two men approaching her from behind. With a few more kicks and punches, the group was scattered on the ground, crying out in pain.

The boy stared at her in awe and could not comprehend what had just happened. "Just cause I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't fight you know…. And I hate hiding behind someone…." She said to him with a smile on her face. "Hey, you're hurt; let me bandage your wounds." She reached into her school bag and started rummaging for bandages. "It's ok, I'm fine. Thanks for your help, but I should go." The boy started walking away, but Mori forcefully sat him down and started bandaging his wounds.

"OUJOU-SAMA!" A group of men ran as they called, panting as they reached to a halt. Mori turned and looked, "You're slow….as always. Anyway, round these guys up. Apparently, they've been messing with our territory; see what the old man has to say about it. Also, bring this guy home and get him healed up." "Who are you?..." asked one of the beaten up guys. With a smirk, Mori replied, "Daughter of the Great Demon Yakuza, Kuuya-sama, of the Kanazaki Clan, Kanazaki Mori."

However, her smirk quickly faded away as she remembered she was late for school! "Crap! I'm such an idiot! You guys take care of things here, I'm off!" Mori shouted in frustration. With that, Mori grabbed her stuff and ran for school.
