(Chikara's POV)
-1 day from now-
"Impressive, girl. You managed survive my attack while shielding those children. But wouldn't be easier to run, and save your own skin, than risk your own life for the sake of these children?" The white haired man said chuckling.
The little black-haired boy shivered behind me grabbing tightly onto my dirty-bloody sailor uniform.
"Miss Chikara, what are we going to do?" The little boy asked, his blue eyes trembling.
The baby, in my arms, wrapped in a humble yet dirty blanket-began to whale in fear.
I glared at the man, I was shaking with anger. He started laughing at me even more-I growled at him in frustration.
"Yes, yes…how this takes me back." He said narrowing his lavender eyes.
"He use to give me that same look too you know."" He said with a devious grin.
"He?!" I thought.

-Present-
My name is Chikara Toramizu, age-18, 3rd and Final year of High School. I'm the oldest child and daughter of my family (and only daughter).
I have blonde hair, long bangs in front- and it gets shorter in back (like Kisa's do from Fruit's Basket) and my bangs on my left side have a single streak of brown color. My eyes are a light blue. I attend Ishida High. My uniform colors are teal-blue and brown. It's a sailor style. The sleeves are short, with a brown line coming around both sleeves, and the shirt color is teal blue. The sailor tie is also teal-blue with a brown line coming around it. A small brown ribbon is coming out from the tie. My skirt is simple, clean short cut-it's brown with a teal-clue line coming around it. My socks are teal-blue, knee high and have brown line coming around both. I have on brown flats and a teal-blue headband. Okay so enough about me…I have a mother. She's really cool, she's a fiction writer. Her name is Tatsuki Toramizu. Then there is my dad….whom I am still incredibly pissed at for disappearing 6 years as of 2 weeks ago. None of us know where he went….but my dorky little brother-Ginta Toramizu-is very adamant since my dad's disappearance that he would be coming home some day. My dad was promoted to Manager of some building industry…so everyone just called him Boss. But, his name is Isshin Toramizu. So yeah…that does it pretty much about description about myself, I don't feel like explaining any much more because I'm incredibly pissed.
"GINTA!! YOU STUPID BRAT!!" I screamed.
"Shhs!!" One of my fellow classmates shushed me, placing her finger over her mouth.
Karin was a pretty cute girl. She had long-curly, orange hair that she kept in a ponytail and her eyes were the color of jade stones.
"Need I remind you we are still in the school library?" She whispered to me.
"Oh, sorry about that Karin." I said.
"Still upset?" She asked.
"Do you even have to ask?!" I whispered back, really irritated.
"How long has it been…2 weeks?" She whispered.
"Close to it….11 days." I said.
"I still can't believe your brother ran away like that?! Are you sure he ran away…that just doesn't sound like him." She whispered.
"I don't know." I sighed.
"Quiet you two! This is a library!" One of the teachers said scolding us.
"Sorry." We whispered.
"You don't think he was kidnapped or something?" Whispered a male voice.
"Tōshirō." I whispered.
Tōshirō was my other best friend. He had short brown spikey hair, hazel color eyes, and he wore glasses. He wore, our school's male uniforms, which were teal-blue jumpsuits, with the zipper on the shirt outlined with brown.
"No way, don't even joke like that!" I whispered.
"Hey, I'm worried about the squirt too." He whispered, pulling out a chair.
"Sorry, guys I've been a little short lately." I said.
"You're his sister. It's not your fault that you worry about him." Karin said.
"Yeah I guess so." I said.
"You…you are the one!"
"Huh?!" My pupils dilated.
"MAR Heaven…is in dire need of help!"
"What? Who are you?!" I said sweating.
"Chikara?" My friends said in unison.
"Don't worry…we shall connect….very soon."
"ANSWER ME!" I yelled.
"What did I say about making noise?! You three outside in the hallway!"
"Ah man!" Karin and Tōshirō said.
We were all standing up against the wall outside of the library. I let out a huge sigh.
"You okay." They both asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I groaned.
"Sorry about that, guys." I said.
"What happened?" Karin asked.
"I don't know…I heard a voice." I said.
"Voice?" Tōshirō said looking at me with disbelief.
"Yeah, some guy was begging for help…some place called MÄR Heaven was in trouble. Or something like that." I said.
"You sure you okay?" Karin asked.
"Yeah, you're starting to talk crazy." Tōshirō replied sarcastically.
"I don't know. Maybe it's all stress from my brother disappearing." I said.
"Hm…probably. Just make sure you get better sleep tonight." Karin said.
"Yeah, how you ever going to find that crazy little squirt if you worry yourself to insanity?" Tōshirō said pointing his finger at me, like a mother getting after her child.
"Alright you guys win. I'll go to bed early tonight. How does that sound?" I asked, jokingly.
"Seriously?" They both said sarcastically.
"Seriously! Stop ganging up on me you two!" I snapped.
They started laughing, pretty soon I started laughing.
"I appreciate it." I said.
"Huh?" They both looked at me confused.
"You guys are trying to cheer me up." I said.
"Yeah well you owe us 2 now." Karin said.
"Huh?"
"Well, we made you laugh, and on top of that you got us in trouble as well…so you owe us 2!" Tōshirō replied with a mischievous grin.
"I knew it….you guys never do anything unless you get something in return!" I said annoyed.
"Sounds like a yes to buying us Ice Cream on the way home then!" Karin said.
"HEY WAIT A MINUTE!" I yelled.
"Ooo…sounds good. So nice of you to buy for us Chikara!" Tōshirō said chuckling.
"DAMN YOU TWO!" I yelled.

-After school-
The three of us were heading to my house, because on top of buying them ice cream, apparently they decided I'm making them dinner too.
"Man that Ice cream was good, wasn't it Tōshirō?" Karin giggled.
"Sure was!" He laughed.
"Shut up already." I muttered.
"What's on the menu for dinner, Chi-chi?" Tōshirō laughed.
"One don't call me that…and two, my house ain't a freakin' restaurant." I said annoyed.
"Hm…I know how about some of your delicious Teriyaki Pork and Fried Rice!" He said.
"Weren't you even listening to me?" I asked, even more annoyed.
All of a sudden, a girl with short blue hair, in a blue and white school uniform ran ahead of us.
"Ah…Koyuki!" I exclaimed.
She stopped and greeted me with a smile.
"Oh, Hi Chikara….oh Hello Tōshirō and Karin. How are you guys?" She asked.
"Good….did you come for a meal cooked by Chikara as well?" Karin joked.
"Huh?" Koyuki replied.
"Will you two shut up about that already?!" I said, pissed.
"What are you doing here Koyuki?" I asked.
"Oh well…." Her face looked sullen and sad, instead of her usual cheerful smile.
"I was worried….about your mother." Koyuki said.
Tōshirō and Karin stopped joking around and had sullen looks on their faces as well.
"How is she?" Koyuki asked.
"She's putting on a brave face for me. But I know she's probably more torn up about his disappearance than I am." I said.
"I see. Well, don't worry. I have good news!" Koyuki exclaimed, a smile stretching across her face once again.
"Huh, what is it?" I asked.
"Nope!" She grinned.
"Hmm?" The rest of us looked at the middle school-girl, puzzled.
"I'll tell you when we get to your house Chikara!" She exclaimed in excitement.
