My POV:

"Hikari! Clean up Table 7 for the night and we're done!" my oniichan (older brother), Kai exclaimed. I looked up from putting the plates away and walked over to him.

"Hai niichan!" I shouted happily as I started cleaning up Table 7. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Hikari Kinomoto and I live in Tokyo, Japan. I am 14 years old and I'm about to be in 3rd year middle school! I have long, dark brown hair and brown eyes. I'm about 5'2" and weight wise, I'm in the middle! That means I'm neither skinny, nor fat, just in the middle! I wear black, plastic framed glasses, because I'm near sighted. In other words, without my glasses, I can only see up close and not from a distance, so I always have my glasses on. I like watching anime, singing songs, and dancing. I moved to Japan when I was 9. I stayed in America with my family before we moved. My family and I run a restaurant named Diamond Rose.

My mom, Ayako Kinomoto, is the owner of the restaurant, as well as part of the kitchen staff. She's head chef, while my older sister, Fumiko, works as a waitress and cleans up the tables. My older brother, Kai, works as a chef and waiter. My oldest brother, Takashi, works as a chef and manager of the restaurant. He also helps clean up the tables and sometimes has the job of being a waiter. Fumiko-nee is 16, Kai-nii is 17, and Takashi-nii is 18. I'm usually working as the waitress and cashier. If you're wondering about my father, Kyosuke, he died two years ago in a car crash. I don't like talking about him a lot though, because it pains me to do so. I miss him a lot. He had light brown hair and brown eyes. He was muscular and looked nothing like his age. Otou-san was a very kind and playful man. He always joked around with us and chased away all the cute guys who tried to flirt with me.

Okaa-san has dark brown, short hair and hazel eyes. She's tall and doesn't even look her age. A lot of men try to ask her out, but she rejects them nicely. Fumiko-nee has light brown, a little wavy hair that goes just past her shoulders and hazel eyes. She's about 5'6" and loves to play the violin. Fumiko-nee has a boyfriend right now and his name is Daisuke. Nee-san cares about me a lot, and encourages me all the time to have a boyfriend. I don't have one though. Kai-niichan has dark brown, spiky hair and brown eyes with a piercing on his left ear. He is a bit muscular and about 5'8." Kai-nii doesn't have a girlfriend. Kai-niichan is overprotective of me. He's usually against me having a boyfriend, and when I do get one, he'll go all out interrogation. Haha. Kai-niichan also is laid back and plays around with me a lot. Takashi-niichan has dark brown, short hair with side-swept bangs, as well as one hazel eye and one brown eye. He is 6'0" and is muscular. Oniichan doesn't have a girlfriend and focuses on his studies. He always tells me to do better in school and doesn't really like the idea of me having a boyfriend. In other words, he's overprotective of me too.

Once I finished cleaning up Table 7, Okaa-san locked up the restaurant and I forgot to tell you! We live directly upstairs from our restaurant. Our windows are bullet proof. :) There is a door that leads to a stairway. That stairway leads to our bedrooms, bathrooms, washer and dryer, and living room with our T.V. and video games in it. Our family is pretty rich, but we don't buy a separate house that's apart from our restaurant. We don't have maids or butlers either, but we do have expensive cars. :) Okaa-san and Otou-san raised us properly, so we made sure how to do common house stuff and other things you learn in a normal life. Our restaurant is pretty popular, and it's decorated really elegantly. Okaa-san's and Otou-san's friends work in our restaurant, as well as a few of Takashi-nii's friends. I also have a best friend named Sakuno Musashi. She's been my best friend ever since 5th grade. I don't have a crush on anyone right now. Anyways, enough of my life and back to the story!

I went upstairs and into my room. I closed the door and changed out of my waitress outfit, which consisted of a black skirt that went down to my knees, a white, button down, collared and tucked in shirt, and black tights with black heels. I removed my hair from its ponytail and combed it. I put it in a headband and went to the living room to find Kai-nii, Takashi-nii, and Fumiko-nee watching T.V. I noticed everyone's hair was slightly wet and they had on new clothes.

"Ne, you guys showered already?" I asked them with a smile. They turned to me and nodded.

"Oi, you better go shower imouto. You smell like dirty dishes." Takashi-nii teased. I just laughed and nodded.

"Oh yeah, Okaa-san said she's out to go buy groceries for the house." Fumiko-nee explained to me.

"Hurry back imouto chan! We're going to play Final Fantasy XII again after! Then, after playing for a little, we'll all go out for some fresh air! " Kai-nii exclaimed. I grinned and ran to my room to shower. Final Fantasy XII was one of our favorite video games. Even though there's the Japanese version, we always play the American version. We just found out it better than the Japanese one somehow. We had beaten the game about 3 times already, and this would be our 4th attempt. I grabbed my clothes and headed inside my bathroom. Since we were going out later, my clothes consisted of my underwear, bra, a black, loose skirt that went right above my knees, mid-thigh jean shorts under that, a white tank top, a dark blue top with one of the sleeves off the shoulder, and my black, knee high lace-up boots with white knee-high socks that were a bit higher than my boots. I tied up my hair into 2 pigtails, put on my glasses, and headed out of my room with my bag, ready to go out after we play. In my bag, I had my cell phone, wallet, mp3 and earphones, a pack of gum, and my comb. My bag was put on diagonally across my body.

"Ready!" I exclaimed as I plopped down onto the couch beside Takashi-niichan.

"Oh great! I forgot to call Daisuke-kun about going out so he can come! You guys go ahead and start the game without me! I'll join in soon!" Fumiko-nee exclaimed as she ran into her room. We started up the game, and in the middle of the opening, Takashi-niichan said he had to go pee.

"Be right back! Sorry guys!" Takashi-nii exclaimed as he ran to the bathroom.

"Looks like it's just you and me imouto-chan!" Kai-niichan exclaimed as we watched the opening. I took a glance at niichan to see what he was wearing. He had on a pair of tan, cargo shorts that went a little past his knees, a simple, dark blue button down dress shirt with a white tank top underneath, white socks, and his black and white Nikes. All of a sudden, the screen turned black. "Eh? What happened? Is it broken?" Kai-nii asked. Then, a little girl with angel wings popped up out of the T.V. screen. She had golden yellow hair and a halo on top. She was wearing a white dress and had bright blue eyes.

"EH!" Oniichan and I both shouted. We got off the couch in shock and our mouths were wide open. Strangely, Takashi-nii didn't hear us, nor did Fumiko-nee san. *Who is this girl? How did sh-* my thoughts were cut off when the girl spoke.

"Hello. It's time for your journey. I wish you two good luck! May you be safe! Be careful!" the little angel girl exclaimed with her eyes closed as she held her hand up towards the ceiling. A bright light shined from her hands.

"Wait, what!" Kai-nii shouted as he stood in shock.

"Nani!" I exclaimed as I grabbed my bag and held onto Kai-niichan.

"What the hell is going on! Kari-chan! Hold onto me tightly!" Oniichan exclaimed. The angel girl vanished and everything turned white. The last thing I remembered was seeing that little angel girl's face and hearing her giggle.
