For all of those who fell for the summary, I'd just like to say one thing:
FOOL YOU! But While you're here, why don't you give this a read, maybe drop
a review, eh?

"KIRO, YOU BUM! GET OUT OF MY SHOP! AND GET A HAIRCUT!" The voice roared throughout the street. All activity stopped as the young boy was thrown out of the small coffee shop. The boy stood and dusted off his white collared and black dress pants. "Man..some people," Kiro said, finally clear of dust. "AND TAKE THIS JUNK WITH YOU!" a squat, stocky man bellowed, tossing a gym bag at Kiro. Kiro managed to catch the bag, but the force of the toss sent him into a large puddle. "OI! Thanks a lot!" Kiro yelled, pointing an accusing finger at the sky. He did his best to shake off the water, and walked down the street.
After three blocks, Kiro had calmed down. He grabbed some headphones out of his gym bag, and placed them on his head. Soon, his walk slowly turned into a swagger. Pivoting on his heel, he ducked into a small card shop. "Hey Kiro- what was Mr. Jesaki mad about?" the Goth clerk asked from behind the counter. "Well, Miho, remember the cappuccino machine I broke last Monday?" Kiro asked. "Yeah. he threatened to eat your first-born child," Miho said. "Oh yeah. But anyways, he took it out of my pay!" Kiro asked. "Well, how much do dish washers get paid?" Miho asked. "Not enough for cappuccino machines. So I told him I quit. Then he said I couldn't quit until I pay for the machine," Kiro explained. "So what did you do?" Miho asked. "I got myself fired," Kiro said happily.
"Only you wouldn't care about getting fired," Miho said. "Well, I got better things to do than wash dishes. Like the song goes:
'And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo!
Every day you meet quite a few!
So you see, it's all up to you!
You can be better than you are!
You could be swingin' on a star!!"
Miho just rolled her eyes. "You know, there's more to a young boy's life than taking advice from Bing Crosby," she said. "For your information, I'm listening to the Frank Sinatra version!" Kiro yelled. "So are you going to buy something or leave?" Miho asked. "Oh yeah- are the new card scanners in yet?" Kiro asked. "Yeah. But they're marking them pretty steep," Miho said. "No worries- My grandma sent me my birthday check," Kiro said happily, shoving a wad of cash out of his pocket. "Cool. So how old are you?" Miho asked. "We moved up to the big 13," Kiro said happily. "So you're a teenager now? Well, here's a birthday present to go with your new reader," Miho said, giving him a pack of cards.
"Sweet! Thanks Miho!" Kiro said, waving as he ran out of the store. He sprinted all the way home, with the tunes of Frank Sinatra on his lips. He sprinted up the stairs to his family's apartment. He entered to find an empty apartment. "Hey Cuz! The birthday boy's home now! Where are you?!" Kiro yelled. He walked through the while apartment, and eventually came across the message machine, which flashed the message 'One unsaved Message.'
"Huh. Maybe it's him," Kiro said, pressing it. Sure enough, his father's voice boomed over the minute speaker. "Yo Kiro! It's just me, calling to say things are running a bit hot at the office, so I might be home late. I'm sure we got food, and if not, there should be money for pizza. Don't wait up!" his father said. Kiro just stood there for a second. "Did he forget? I guess he did.. well, it has been busy these past couple weeks.." Kiro said, with a hint of hurt in his voice. He picked up the phone, but put it down immediately. There was no point in calling Ryo, because he had been reported missing almost a week ago. He could still remember the e-mail he received that afternoon from his friend, saying that he would be gone for a while, and that he shouldn't worry.
He walked to his room, turned on the TV, and pulled the new card reader and pack from his bag. Animal Planet was showing a rerun about chimpanzees. The thumbed his way through the pack, noting some of the more powerful cards, until he arrived at a strange blue card. "What the heck is this?" he thought as he examined his prize. It was pure blue, save a gray strip on the side and a yellow 'D' on the front. Suddenly, a deafening rumble of thunder caused Kiro to throw up the cards and the reader. He watched as the cards scattered in the air. Suddenly, as if propelled by a force of its own, the blue card zipped through the card reader's scanner. The reader glowed brightly, and seemed to transform into a triangular device.
Kiro gasped as the device hit the ground. He slowly edged his way to it, and poked it. He prodded it a bit more, and decided it was safe to touch. "Relax Kiro. I mean, it's probably some special feature. Yup, I bet these things transform all the time..," Kiro mumbled to himself. He picked it up, and examined it. It was mainly white, with a large, teal-rimmed screen and two teal buttons, and a small strap on top. "Hmm. A strange device transforms in front of my eyes in a flash of light, and I have no idea what it is or how it works. So let's fool around with it!" Kiro yelled, and began playing with the buttons.
The screen flashed a rainbow of colors as Kiro hit the buttons in succession. Suddenly, he saw a tiny gray button inset in the casing of the device. Kiro tried pressing it, but his fingers were to large. He quickly grabbed a pen, and was about to press the button, when the British host of the TV documentary said, "Note how the ape uses tools to reach an otherwise inaccessible area." "Hey- SHUT UP!" Kiro yelled at the TV. Then, he pressed the button. The small screen flashed as his computer suddenly turned on. "What the heck?!" Kiro yelled as the computer screen was filled with binary code. Suddenly, the numbers rearranged themselves and the screen glowed a radiant gold. The light enveloped the room as Kiro shielded his eyes.
Suddenly the light faded. Kiro opened his eyes to see a barren, rocky wasteland. He stumbled along, shielding his eyes from the wind. The wind got stronger, and Kiro was dragged by it. He tripped on an outcropping and banged his head on a rock. His world went to black.
A/N: Look's like Kiro's in a spot of bother! Will Kiro survive long enough to find out where he is? Only Time will tell!
The chapter's over. You can go now..
