Chapter One-Earthquake

---

A girl with light brown hair sat on her front porch. Beside her was a school bag. She had just gotten home from her private, all girl school a few towns over. She still wore her uniform.

She looked at herself in a puddle of water in front of her. Her blue-grey eyes glistened in the clear-ish waters.

She sighed and stood, then walked into her house. She did not greet her parents, just walked straight to her room.

There, she peeled off her navy and yellow school uniform and changed into more comfortable clothes-a denim mini-skirt and a blue tank top. She kept her navy ribbons in strands of her hair though.

After slipping on black flip flops, the girl left her room.

"I'm going to that Cafe Ryou works at, okay Mom?" she called. Yes, she knew Ryou Shirogane. They were neighbors. Ryou and her and grown up together, though Ryou had always been a few years older than her.

"Alright Kozakura!" the girl's mother called back.

The girl, Kozakura, slung a bag across her shoulder, with snacks and a drink.

"Bye!" she called to her mom and walked out the door, closing it tightly behind her.

She began walking down the streets. People stared at her. She just stared straight ahead, looking at the tar streets with her blue-grey eyes. Her brown hair bounced slightly at her elbows as she walked.

"Look Mom! It's Kozakura Wakamiya!" said a little girl excitedly. "Can I go get her autograph? Please?!"

Kozakura looked over and smiled. She saw the girl's mother tug at her daughter's sleeve. "Come along Sakura..." she said. "Don't bother her..." she said, smiling up at Kozakura.

They began walking away, the little girl Sakura crying. Kozakura hated seeing people cry. She tore a piece of paper out of her bag, pulled a pen from a pocket in her skirt and quickly scrawled her name on the paper.

"WAIT!" Kozakura shouted and began running after the little girl and her mother. She panted once she reached them.

"Here..." she said, handing the piece of paper to the small girl.

"Hey look! Isn't that that hot singer...?" said a male's voice. By the deepness of his voice, Kozakura guessed he was a few years older than she.

"Yeah," said another his age. "Kozakura Wakamiya's her name I believe..."

Kozakura rolled her eyes and continued walking towards Ryou's cafe. It hadn't really opened yet, but Kozakura had connections with an employee. They should let her in...

A couple more minutes passed. Kozakura reached the museum the cafe was built behind. She walked around the large building to the courtyard in the back. Since it was boiling hot out, she sat under a tree and unpacked her drink.

Silently, she gulped it down, looking around. She watched as people left and came to the courtyard.

Her eyes fell upon the site of a bunch of girls (all looking mean), with another girl with brown braids and glasses. Nothing mean happened. After a minute, the girl with glasses left. IN about two minutes, she was back, holding a cup.

Kozakura watched interestedly for a moment, and then her eyes wandered to the museum door. Two girls had just walked out. One with blonde hair and pigtails, the other with black hair up in two buns on the side of her head.

Kozakura heard shouting coming from the group she had been watching a few minutes earlier. She sprung up, dropping her soda can on accident

She slowly walked forward, careful not to be seen. She watched as the girl with glasses was bullied.

One of the girls with her slapped her. I need to help her!!!!! Kozakaru thought anxiously.

Then a lot of things started happening at once. Kozakura's head swirled. She grabbed it, and suddenly, two more people were on the courtyard, one was on the light post, and the other wasn't near the fight.

"Leave her alone!" Kozakura shouted, running forward

All eyes swung towards her. She blushed, then spoke again. "What did she do to you? From what I saw, all she did was getting you a drink."

No one answered. So Kozakura jumped in front of the girl with glasses.

"What the heck? Get out of the way freak!" one of the girl's shouted, and grabbed Kozakura's wrist, trying to pull her away.

But Kozakura held her ground. "Come one! Move it!" said the girl. "No! Don't hurt her!" Kozakura replied, and kneed the girl in the stomach.

The girl staggered backwards. All of her buddies stared at Kozakura. Kozakura just smiled.

As a blonde girl (one of the one's picking on the girl with glasses) went to pick on the girl Kozakura was protecting, a tall girl, with long black hair and a polka-dot shawl walked up and grabbed her arm.

"I don't think so..." she said.

Immediately, Kozakura recognized the girl in the polka-dot shawl. It was Zakura, a famous model. They had met at celebrity parties. But Kozakura did not wave. It would be a strange thing to do in the situation...

"Let go of me!!!" the blonde shrieked.

"Don't bother her..." Zakuro said.

"Fine!" And the blonde was released. She bent over her hand, rubbing her wrist and looked over her shoulder. She glared at Zakuro, then led her gang away, all of them murmuring.

"Thank you..." the girl with glasses said

"Are you okay?" Kozakura and the blonde girl with pigtails asked at the same time...

The girl nodded. "Fine. Sometimes, I anger people by not figuring things out. Later I'll apologize for getting them hot coffee..." she said

Kozakura raised her eyebrows. "They were picking on you because of that...?" she asked, shocked. The girl with braids nodded.

"Why should you apologize? You did nothing wrong!" said the pig-tailed girl

After that Kozakura zoned out and wasn't listening. Even as good-byes were said, all she did was wave.

As everyone went to leave, the ground began to shake, and Kozakura was back on earth.

"Ahhh!" she screamed, as everyone else shouted something at the same time.

Then, Kozakura's surroundings were black. Everyone was gone. A small panda bear floated up to Kozakura. As Kozakura went to grab it, it jumped into her. And that was all she remembered...
