CHAPTER I: the slab of names

The room was dimly lit, the windows were boarded shut, the door was locked. The room was nearly empty. The only objects that recided in the room were a bed, a tv, and a lamp. The young girl sitting on the bed, staring out in oblivion. She had long black hair tied back in a messy braid, her purple eyes were faded to a dusty purple. This girl's name was Kanji, she lived in that house since she was born. Her only friends were that from anime and videogames. But Kanji had one other friend, but her friend had moved away to get a better education. This was when Kanji changed, after her friend left New York, Kanji stopped smiling and caring about her grades. Before Kanji could finish 11th grade she dropped out, her other "friends" kept bugging her of why she did, but Kanji never gave them a true answer.

It was around summer time, the day Kanji's friend moved away. She was suppose to come over and visit, but something else came up and she cancelled on Kanji. She sighed quietly, kanji grabbed a random T-shirt, and slipped it on, she grabbed a pair of jeans and got changed, Kanji also put on her sneakers and walked downstairs. Her parents weren't home like usual. Her mom was in the hospital, same with her sister and brother, and of course her dad was out working. Kanji grabbed a pop tart and walked outside. She lived in a simple trailer park but she didn't mind, as Kanji made her way to the back of the house the neighbor's dog was loose and pounced on her knocking her off her feet and causing her to fall backwards. Her neighbor ran outside and pulled the dog off of her.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." replied her neighbor.

"It's ok." replied Kanji quietly. Kanji got up and walked to the back of the house, she looked into the woods watching the sun shimmer down on a slab of stone near the front. Kanji sat on the grass dusting the stone off and taking the growing weeds out. She kept this slab of stone cleaned during Spring, Summer, Fall and tried to keep it clean during Winter. Kanji ran her hand down the stone, she looked at all the names engraved in it, Kanji closed her eyes remembering every name.

1: Sasuke Uchiha

2: Koji Minamoto

3: Tala Volcov

4: Kyosuke Date

5: Kureno Sohma

6: Zexion

7: Envy/ William Elric

8: Bankostu

9: Squall Leonhart

10: Gauche

Serveal names followed after these ones, Kanji opened her eyes and smiled.

"I'll be back later everyone." Kanji got up, dusted her self off and walked away from the stone.

By the time Kanji came back it was almost 11:30 PM, her family still wasn't back so she walked back to the stone. Kanji smiled and kneeled in front of it again. As Kanji dusted off some of the bugs, it started to glow dimly. Kanji quickly stood up, and touched the stone. The ground glowed as well, but it glowed brighter than the stone, the last thing Kanji saw was the stars in the sky disappearing.
