A Promise is A Promise Prologue
A chibi girl of about 6 years of age in pigtails knocks on the door of a mansion. A chibi boy with two-tone hair answers it.
"Hi, Kai. Can you come out an' pway (play"
"Uh-uh. I got in twuble"
"(giggles) Kai-Kai got in twuble. What you do"
"Used mommy's dwess to make me a piwate fwag." chibi girl giggles again
"Don' wowy Kai-Kai. I get you out. I pwomise"
Same chibi girl with Kai. 1 year later
"(crying) My mommy and daddy left me. sniff And a man and woman are looking for me. Kai, I'm scared"
"Don't worry. I'll protect you. And if they take you, I'll get you back. I promise"
"KAI! Where are you going! KAI!" Kai is struggling with his grandfather
"Let me go! looks at chibi girl LOOK OUT! Behind you!"
The young girl turns around and screams as two people grab her. A man with glasses and a sneer in his ugly face and a weird-looking woman in a business suit.
"KAI! KAI! HELP ME PLEASE! KAI!"
"NO! Let her go!" Kai yells, trying to get out of his grandfather's grasp at the same time. "Let me go! I have to help her! Let me go! LET ME GO!"
"KAI!"
"ANA!"
Hotel in Japan 2:30 am
"Kai! Kai! Wake up, man!" Ray calls out to Kai, shaking him roughly.
"Wh-what"
"Dude, what's wrong"
"Huh. Nothing"
"I thought you were having a fit or something. Oh, and who's Ana"
"Ana? It's nobody"
"Then why were you calling out 'Ana"
Kai shakes his head. " I don't know... stands up I'm going for a walk"
"O-kay"
outside
-Who is Ana? Who is she? Why do I keep dreaming of that girl-
:I think a better question is, why are you up so early:
-I thought you would've known by now, considering you're always messing with my head-
:Ha, ha. Very funny. I don't mess with your head:
Kai laughs. -Don't mess with my head? Funny, Dranz. What about the time when you kept putting images of Tyson whining in my mind so you can make me lose my concentration while meditating-
:Oh, yeah. Heh, heh. Pretty funny, huh:
-(sarcastically) Oh, yeah. Very amusing-
:Okay. Now to a more serious level. Ana:
-Yeah. Who is she? I want to know. Dranz, help me-
:Seems to me that this 'Ana' was a part of your childhood. She probably had a special place your life:
-Great. More to add to the mystery of my past-
:I'll say. It seems to me, though, that you'll probaly never find out who that girl is, I mean come on, you're only dreaming:
-Maybe. But then why have I dreamt of her for the past week, hmm-
:Beats me. Look, it's 3 am. You got a flight to catch at 8, so I suggest you drop it for tonight or you'll end up like Tyson in the morning. You know, not wanting to wake up. (An image of Tyson sleeping (not a pretty sight)) Hehehe:
-(shivers) Ugh! Yeah, you're probably right. I'll think about it during our flight to LA. Who knows, I'll probably see her again. Ana, I mean, whoever she is-
:Yeah, right.:
