After many years war was finally over. A war between shamans and humans where many people whether young or old were forced to fight in. Both leaders eventually made peace and claimed the war over. On both sides, only a few handful of people had survived. One of them was Anna Kyoyama, a girl with unusually strong shamanic powers who was only 13 years old.

A girl with beautiful blonde hair and coffee brown eyes covered in bandages gasped awake on a hospital bed. Confused at first she looked at the heart monitor figuring she was at the hospital. Besides her a raspy but firm voice called out to her.

"I see that you're awake."

Anna looked to see a fragile looking blind old woman but with a very strong aura around her. Immediately the shaman lifted her hand up to her forehead like she was blocking the sun with her elbow bent 70 degrees. "Yes Madam Kino."

Asakura Kino was the mother of General Asakura Mikihasa, a great man who saved many lives in the war.

"Oh please, no need or that. You have received severe injuries, are you alright?"

The blonde itako looked at her stomach to see it was also covered in thick layers of bandages.

"Yes ma'am. Will you be giving me my next mission?"

"Anna… the war is over."

She repeated, "The war is over? If the war is over am I now useless? Will I be thrown away?"

'Emotionless..' Kino sighed, "I'm here to take you with me Anna. You are not part of the military anymore."

"Where?"

"To Tokyo. Where my grandson lives. I've seen how you fought, you are the perfect wife for the Asakuras'. And you are still so young. You will be able to learn many new things there."

Anna once again saluted. "Yes ma'am. I will do my best."

…

Once they were out of the hospital Anna changed into a short black dress with a red bandanna.

In the taxi curious, Kino asked, "Who gave you that bandanna? The fabric is very high quality."

"Someone very special."

"I see."

It was very hard to keep a conversation with Anna. If Kino asks a question she would only be answered in short sentences with no expression. Just a blank face.

She was just like a doll, performing what people ask her to do without a question. A living robot. Her strong shamanic powers were not to be ignored in the war. After getting abandoned by her parents because of her strange powers to see ghosts and read minds the military for shamans trained her to become a living killing robot. Not like the other kids she was taught how to use her oversoul. They were taught how to write or read. She was taught how to fight and kill with no hesitation, while they were able to laugh and play. Although Anna didn't show it, she was burning inside.

No.. It was more like she didn't know.
