1According rang the bells of the Namimori high school on the common schoolyard with the Namimori Middle School. From different classrooms stormed shortly, after the bell ring, students of different ages. All of them seemed to looking forward to the upcoming weekend and started to tell each other, what they wanted to do.

Once the playground for the most part was empty again, then finally left Reiko Sato her classroom. The reason was, she hated to have to push through large quantities. Reiko was a 18-year-old student and already in the top vintages of the school. She proudly led the dance group at school and trained them as well. She should also do that today, but due to some cancellations, the training was been canceled for this week.

Bored Reiko grabbed one her last school documents, threw her orange, long hair over her shoulder and eventually left the property. She had a habit of throwing her hair always on the right side over the shoulder. With her brown eyes she cast a last look back, wondering what she should do now at this time because the training failed. Her daily life had been thrown around, and she normally really did not like that. Finally she sighed sympathetically, however, and wanted to turn around to go on the way home.

Just as she had gone a few steps, she heard a familiar voice behind herself: "Hey Reiko! Wait for me! "

Surprised, she turned toward the voice and saw her friend Kisa. Despite the fact that she was a bit older then Kisa, she became a very good friend of her, which she always could trust in. Since she had moved to Japan, after the tragic death of her mother, she always missed a friend, a caregiver. Before the death of her mother she and her parents lived in England. However, her mother had always a soft spot for Japan, so she had no traditional English name.

"Oh hello Kisa! I thought you'd have school? What are you doing here then? "She greeted her friend with a smile on her face.

Kisa replied quickly: "Oh I have nothing special in mind. I wanted to go home and wanted to get with my sister to the weekend mood. What are you planning to do? "

"Actually, yes I would now have training with the others, but it has failed. It confuses my whole day's work, but well that's somehow okay. "

After Reiko had finished the sentence, she rolled her eyes and irritated left a sigh. Secretly, she wondered why she was the boss of this dance group, if no one ever listened to her. Reiko was a very disciplined person, but she could not disagree, if people offer her a wish. She was too soft. Her friend, who had observed her reaction giggled just a bit. She knew exactly what Reiko didn't liked. One thing, for example, was that she hated it if you paid her and her position no respect.

After Kisa had giggled at the end, she beat her friend in front of something: "Maybe this is a sign with the training Reiko! Change some games on your everyday life. Maybe you can change your way back home for the start."

Actually, that was not such a bad idea, Reiko thought. She thought for a few moments and finally decided to implement the suggestion of her friend. Another home way would give her some change today. Quickly the two friends said goodbye and both went their way home.

Deliberately Reiko chose a different road this time, instead of the familiar, she always assumed otherwise. Normal white that was nothing special, but somehow she was excited about it. Her sense told her that something exciting would happen. Presumably herself just imagined that. Lost in thought, she rubbed her black earrings she wore on the left ear. She often did that when she was nervous or excited. But she also just knew it, that she made a too big fish out of this simple change. Inwardly, she began to laugh at herself and put on a smile.

Lost in thought, she still walked along the street outside, when she suddenly savage cries. Curious, she looked around to see where the noise came and tried to follow them. While she went to follow them, she were overwhelmed by her pride, because she was right with her feeling, that the road change, would bring out something amazing.

With quick steps she turned into the next street and was sure to find around the next corner, the reason for the noise. Before she wanted to look, what was behind it, she asked herself, if it wasn't childish, the thing she did there? Finally, she was marketing a high-school and too old to be with those kids play games. One last time, she rolled her eyes and told herself that it would remain an exception, before she finally looked around the corner.

What she saw surprised her really at least. Reiko had to blink a few times to understand the scene that was going on. On the road in front of her stood a boy in school uniform of their school and a child, another boy, but younger than the others. But in one way had the child something strange in itself, as Reiko thought. It actually was wearing a black suit, with a matching hat. Additionally, another kind of animal was sitting on his hat.

"What Parents, would dress her child like this?",Reiko asked herself.

Once she has been thought enough, about the dress of the child, she watched again the road with the guys. The boy and the child seemed to have a workout or something to discuss. She tried to understand what was about it, but sadly it don't work.

However it turned out to be interesting for her, when the animal, which was the whole time on the hat of the child, jumped into his hand. What happened after that, Reiko wouldn't believe, if she had not seen it with her own eyes. The animal, turned suddenly into a weapon and the boy pointed it at the elderly.

At that moment solidified Reiko's legs. Actually, she wanted to run away and have nothing more to do with it. Why she had taken a different route, or was this noise followed? Before she completely lost her nerve, she tried to persuade herself that it was all a role play and maybe just the two played together. Even if the one was in her eyes to old for such games.

This hope was finally killed by a shot of the cannon, which cut the older boy in the head. Reiko watched shocked, how he were falling to the ground with eyes wide open and staring. Reiko felt like every colour on her face escaped. A cold shiver ran down her spine and her legs seemed to have no more secure grip. Horrified, she just dropped and landed with her butt, also on the stone floor. The last thing she saw, was how the eyes of the little boys, now directed watched her.

At this point, Reiko did not yet know how this moment would take effect on her whole life. In every part. From that moment, her daily life would never again be as it was before and as of this moment, she would never take again her old way home. For the rest of her lives not.
