What's Happening
"Uh…I'm so bored." Ryou looked up into the tree. He was sitting on the tree's branch with his back against the trunk. Someone started walking towards the tree that he was in. "Um…" "Huh…" He looked down and saw a girl underneath the tree. She looked up into it and then started climbing up it. "Uh…" 'What is she doing?' When she was climbing up the tree, it looked like she could almost fall off because she kept slipping. She reached for another branch. "Uh…" She started to climb on it but her legs slipped of the other branch. "Uh..." She tried to hang on to the other branch, but she started to slip off that one too. "Huh…" Ryou saw her. Her hand slipped off the branch and she started falling. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Then someone caught her. Her eyes were closed shut. "Huh…" She opened her eyes and was looking at the ground and realized she hadn't fallen yet. Ryou caught her and was holding a branch with his hand. He tried to pull her up, but he couldn't do it. His hand fell off the branch and he started falling. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" She closed her eyes again. Ryou held her and soon they hit the ground.
"Huh…" She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on top of someone. He looked at her and she looked at him. "Um…Are you hurt?" Ryou started to blush. "I'm fine, but what about you? You hit the ground on your back." "Oh…I'm okay." "But…" "Seriously." She looked down. "Thank you." "Huh…" "You protected me and for that I'm grateful." She looked at him and smiled. He saw her smile. 'Who is she?' She got off him and helped him get up. "Ow. My back." Ryou put his hand on his back. She looked at him with shock. "Your back. See, you are hurt. It was my fault. If I just hadn't climbed that tree, you wouldn't be hurt." "Shh…I'm okay. Plus I wouldn't want you to get hurt." "Oh…But…" "Let's just drop it. Okay." "Okay…" "By the way," He looked at her. "I never got your name." "Oh…My name is Kimiko and you?" "Ryou." "Ryou…Thank you for protecting me today." "Uh…" "Well, I better get going. See ya." She started walking off. "Bye." He watched her leave. 'What a strange girl? But I gotta admit she was kinda cute.' He started to blush. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Huh…Someone's screaming." He looked in the direction it came from. "Huh…Kimiko walked that way. No! That can't be. Kimiko!" He started running off in the direction the screaming came from.
Soon he meets up to the place where the screaming came from and saw Kimiko. She was lying on the ground. Ryou ran up to her. He bent down next to her and picked her up. "Kimiko…Are you okay?" She opened her eyes slightly. "Uh…Ryou…" Then she closed them and passed out. "Kimiko!" He shaked her body. 'She's not waking up.' Then something hit him in the back and he dropped Kimiko and fell on top of her. He got off of her and looked behind him. "Huh…It's a kirema anima!" The kirema anima came after him and hit him. "Uh…" He fell on his back. "Ow." He got up and saw the kirema anima go near Kimiko. "Huh…Kimiko! Wake up!" He started running to her, but the kirema anima got her before he did. It started sucking the blood out of her. He was over there now and he tried to get the kirema anima off of her. "Huh…" She opened her eyes and sat up and swatted the kirema anima off of her on accident. She rubbed her eyes and saw Ryou next to her. "Huh…Ryou…What are you doing here?" She looked at him and he looked at her. "You don't remember." "No…" She looked away. "What happened?" Then she saw the kirema anima and it got up and went after her. "Ahhhhhhhh!" She closed her eyes and held her head. "Huh…" She opened her eyes. 'I didn't get hit?' She looked in front of her. She saw Ryou take the hit. "Ryou…" He looked behind him and saw Kimiko. "Get away." "But…" "Just go!" "Uh…" She looked at him with shock. 'He's protecting me, but why?' She closed her eyes and faced her head at the ground. "No! I won't leave you!" Then something started to happen to her. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" Ryou looked at her. "Kimiko…Is…Is she one of them?"
