Take three. What's up everybody Captainfire008 here. I am once again, starting over with Fanfiction. I recently got hooked into anime, so I thought why not reside there for a bit, see how it goes. I know that people really hate long author notes so let's just get this show on the road.

"Allon-sy"- Speech

"It couldn't be easy could it?" - Thought

[Let's do this Partner/Boost!]-Ddraig Speech

*Line Break*

8 years ago. Junior's POV

Well, this was not what I expected on my birthday. My foster parents decided last week that we were moving to Japan. Couldn't get a straight answer either. Anytime I would ask, my foster dad just joke that he was going to reunite me with my relatives. So instead of being in the states enjoying a nice cake, I'm unloading suitcases into my new drawers (I have no idea how they did it, but my folks had the entire house furnished before we got there). Oh well, it's not like I had many friends back in the US. My only friend left for England a few years ago. He promised to write every day, but no cigar. Oh sorry, how rude. I'm Junior. Junior Anioko. My parents, I don't remember much about them. I was left at an orphanage before getting picked up by my folks. I have black hair that I really don't comb but still looks decent. My eyes are strange, they are orange with a tinge of white here and there. My folks say that when I get stubborn or determined, it seems as if my eyes are some flames with lighting striking here and there.

After unpacking, my foster mom suggested going to the park. I agreed, so there we went to the park that was 2 blocks from home. When we got there, my foster mom gave me the usual warning of being safe, don't talk to strangers etc. before telling me to have fun and leaving towards home. I walked around for a bit because quite frankly, I couldn't make any friends. Everyone was huddled together in their own groups, talking and playing, but giving off a sense of don't bother us or you'll sleep with the fishes. I shuddered at that thought but wasn't too concerned. I use to live in Compton, so I've learned how to live on the streets. And no I'm not black, I'm Mexican. Anyways back to my life, as I wandered, I saw this girl sitting all alone by a tree. She seemed around my age but felt a lot older. She wore a black gothic Lolita and had blue eyes. I decided to approach her. "Hi there!" I said.

She looks up at me with a stoic expression and said, "Hello."

"Do you wanna play a game?" I asked.

She looked at me with a slight head tilt, "What is a game?"

"A game," I replied, "you know, a thing that you do with friends to have fun, like hide and seek tag, freeze tag, duck duck goose…"

"What is 'tag'?" She asked me.

Oh my God. How do you explain to someone what tag is? It is a natural instinct shared by all humans at birth. "Well," I attempted to say, "tag is a game where one person is IT, and has to touch other people for them to be it."

"What is it?"

"It is…" I paused. "What is IT?" "IT is just a name for the person that has to touch other people."

"Why does that person have to touch others?" Okay, this is a lot harder than I expected.

*Line break*

After a few minutes of talking with Ophis, I finally manage to explain what tag was to her. "So, do you want to play tag?" I asked.

"Okay." Said Ophis.

I was overjoyed. My first week in Japan and already have a friend, a girl no less. As we started the game, I decide to be it. So I began to chase Ophis around the park. Jesus Christ did that girl have energy. She was running, jumping and sliding that I could barely catch up. She did goof up though. As we were running, she stumbled on a piece of concrete, giving me the time I needed. I put all my effort into my legs and speed up. As Ophis was just standing up and fixing her dress, I closed in on her and got her on the shoulder. "Tag, you're IT!" I yelled as I ran past her. I didn't bother to look back, as I thought it would be best to hide for a bit and recover. I saw some trees and bushes, so I quickly hid behind a tree. I was panting so hard, I couldn't feel my legs and my lungs were burning, but boy was I having fun. Just as I started to get some energy back, I heard a rustle in the bushes. I slowly turned with wide eyes, and there was Ophis, standing with what almost looked like a smirk. She slowly walked up to me before tapping my left arm and saying, "Tag".

I didn't hear her though. That tap sent shivers down my body. I couldn't tell why though. I have played tag with many girls, but none of them gave me this feeling. A feeling of power, strength and resilience. It expanded throughout my entire body, before falling back into my left hand. I was left questioning what was that feeling for about 2 seconds.

[What's going on?] a sudden voice in my head asked. I freaked out.

"Who said that?!" I looked around but only saw Ophis with a shocked face.

[I did. *Yawn* Are you my new host. Hmmm. I'm amazed you woke me up this young. Most hosts don't wake me till their at least 15. I wonder why you're so different?] said the voice.

"Ddraig," Ophis suddenly said with a smile on your face. "I think I can answer,"

[Ophis?] The now identified voice said, [Is that really you? You look different than I last remember.]

"I prefer this form," said Ophis, "I was visiting the human world to think when your host approached me, asking to play a 'game'." She said game like it was a foreign word. Guess she still needs to learn. "As we were playing this 'game', I stumble and your host 'tagged' me, making me 'IT'. I wanted a little revenge, so I put some dragonish energy into my 'tag' and it seems that I accidentally woke you,".

"Hold on, what's going on here?" I asked. I heard Ddraig take a breath as if he was going to explain, but then sharply inhaled and I heard an explosion.

[I'll explain later. Junior, go home, something is not right.] That sentence made my heart sink as I began to run back home. "Sorry Ophis!" I yelled back to her, "I have to go home!"

On my way there, I heard a female scream that sounded awfully familiar and a gunshot. "No…" I said in dread as I put more effort into running home, not expecting any cookies at home.

Yes, my first time back and I end on a cliffhanger, I know that sucks. If you want to see more of this series, I plan to do more but to get you into the habit, leave a Review to let me know that you're interested. And I will see you guys in the next chapter.
