Living in the Shadows
A/N: Hello everyone! No, I'm not in my writing mood yet, but I really felt like writing this one! And I might take some stories off not sure what ones yet. Thanx. Please Review!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Tecmo or Dead or Alive. Wish I did but I don't!
"Mummy, why are you bleeding?" A young 3-year-old girl sat near an older lookinf woman who was bleeding to death.
"I'll be fine, Hitomi darling. Just tell your father that I will see him again...and I'll see you, too." The woman said as her eyes started to close.
"Mummy! Don't die!" The little girl cried. Hot tears were now streaming down her cold cheeks as the wind blew on them, stinging them in the process.
"I love you Hitomi. Take care of yourself and your father." Her eyes closed. She was dead. The little girl screamed as she cried for her mother...
Hitomi woke up, sweat dripping on her face. Her alarm clock was now going off and it was only 5am. Hitomi took three very long breaths and then hopped out of bed in her blue camisole top and pj pants.
Hitomi made her way to the bathroom and washed her face, brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. She kept having the same dream for 15 years every night. The dream was a vision of her mother's death when she was only 3 years old. But now things were different without her mother and only her father to care and cherish her. But Hitomi loved her father just as much and they had become close friends since they had spent most of their time together. Hitomi was 18 now and home schooled all her life because she refused to go to school when she was little saying people would be mean to her. And she was right. She went to school for her first day and no one liked her because she was "different". Hitomi also lived in America now because her father's dojo was improving and was making dojo's all over the world and America happened to be his most "money-making" dojo.
"Hitomi! You have a visitor!" Her father's gruff voice called her.
"Oh! Coming!" Hitomi finished up and ran into her room and got changed into a sequined blue camisole, light blue jeans, white scarf, pink beanie, cream coloured gloves and her blue ugg boots. "Uh, who is it?"
"Your friends from next-door!" Her father shouted out to her, obviously thinking she was deaf of something.
Hitomi ran downstairs as she slipped on her last ugg boot and saw a young girl with brunette hair and glimmering purple eyes. Leifang. She was wearing a black tee, dark brown pants and a sheepskin brown jacket with her cute yellow trainers. The other oe beside her was a cute brunette with brown eyes staring at Hitomi. Jann Lee. He was wearing dark blue baggy jeans, a white T-shirt that said 'not caring' on the front in black letters, and he wore a massive black leather jacket and his gold and black trainers. The other girl was blowing on her nails with light blonde hair and sea green/aqua eyes. Helena. Helena was really into fashion so she was basically packed with every winter item. She had a white beanie, white and pink scarf, pink off the shoulder top, white and blue jeans that were fading out, cream coloured gloves, a silver and turqouise belt and her white and pink ugg boots.
"Bonjour!" Helena said once she saw Hitomi. "Did you copy me with ugg boots?" she whispered lowly.
"No, Helena," Hitomi said as she looked down at her feet. "It's sorta winter and I want to be as warm and toasty as I can. Ugg boots sort of help."
"Oh." Helena said. "I know that."
"So are you ready to go shopping? Jann Lee needs a new halter-top for when summer comes up," Leifang joked. Jann Lee instantly glared at her.
"Hi Lei, hi Jann. Uh, I think he'd look better in a bube tube." Hitomi replied carrying the joke on.
"No I prefer an off the shoulder top like mine." Helena said as the three girls giggled. Jann Lee never talked so he showed he was ignoring them by walking out the door. "Oh, don't get grumpy cause we can't afford them all, Jann. You never get your own way especially if you pull a diva tanty."
The girls were now laughing hard. "Let's go! I seriously need to shop for spring stuff it's not that far away." Leifang said as she walked outside. "Hurry up!"
Helena and Hitomi followed Leifang as they walked outside. These three lunatics as Hitomi liked to call them had been her best friends ever since they moved in along her street. They were home schooled too so they always got late mornings and got away with starting school at 12pm. Helena was a little princess and was treated like one too. She was nice to people she liked but mean when she was either joking or when was talking to someone she doesn't like or she'll be really rude to someone she dislikes. Leifang was the funny one and probably Hitomi's closest friend out of the three because Helena's a gossip queen and Leifang can keep secrets. Leifang's a real bitch to people she hates but she only dislikes people who are mean to her. Jann Lee on the other hand...he never talked and all the girls knew he had a crush on Leifang. Is that why he doesn't talk? He might embarrass himself? Hitomi thought to herself.
"Uh, Hitomi? Are you stoned?" Helena said pointing a long, filed nail in front of her face. Hitomi just realised she was staring into space.
"Oh, sorry! Off we go. Bye, Dad." Hitomi gave her dad a kiss on the cheek and left with her friends.
