Natsumi ran up the sakura tree path as the bell chimed. She was late again. As she tried to think of yet ANOTHER excuse she heard footsteps behind her. She stopped and turned to see a Grade A student from her class running behind her. "Is this the first time you've been late, Jakobe?" Natsumi giggled and continued walking. "Natsumi! You must think of an excuse for me! PLEASE!" Jakobe begged the blonde haired Natsumi. "Why don't you just say your car broke down and you had to walk to school?" Natsumi offered a suggesstion.
"Why didn't I think of that!" Jakobe said smacking his head.
"Now you must think of an excuse for me, I've run out of them," Natsumi turned and waited for his reply. "Why don't you say your bus was late?" Jakobe asked.
"Hmm, I don't catch a bus but I could say my parents had to leave early this morning so I had to take the bus. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks Jako," Natsumi said calmly but deep in her heart she was truly thankful. She couldn't afford another detention.
"AHHHH, leave me alone you creepy pervert! Get away from me!" Natsumi and Jakobe looked over to see a man grabbing a pink haired girl under the sakura trees. "Jako! Have you watched the news lately? That man is one of those that are kidnapping kids and taking their memories! We gotta help her!" Natsumi grabbed Jakobe's hand and they rushed over to the small grove. "Leave her alone!" Natsumi screamed at the man.
"Lookie here, now two teenagers have come to the rescue. HA! You won't be able to do a thing! I will just have to take you two as well. Lady Kimiko will be very happy with me," The man in the white suit continued while the small girl screamed at him. "I am NOT a little girl! I am a second year just like these two!" The pink haired girl screamed.
"I know you now, Taira Yukiko, you are the new transfer student who is joining our class today. I am Jakobe, the class representative and this is my close friend, Natsumi."
"Since when am I your close friend?" Natsumi asked angrily but was cut off when the man threw a spherical shape at the ground and that was the last Natsumi and her friends remembered...
