Chapter 1

In Which Something Happens

Riza Fuery sat, arms crossed, in the principal's office.

"I can't believe you beat that poor boy up! You are just one step away from being expelled, young lady!" the principal, Mrs. Falman, was a strict woman with graying hair and a voluptuous body. Half-moon spectacles sat perched on her hooked nose, and her beady eyes glared.

"He was asking for it." Riza muttered, her black-painted lips twisting into a scowl. She tugged her equally black hoodie closer.

"You broke his nose! One more fight, and I mean it, just one more fight and you are out of here! Really! What on earth will your poor father think?" the older woman ranted.

She gave a derisive snort.

"My father doesn't give a crap about me."

"Watch your mouth!" Principal Falman scolded.

Riza rolled her eyes, grabbed her backpack, and trudged out of her high school. One more year, she thought to herself, just one more year, and then I'll be free. She heaved a sigh as she unlocked her front door and stepped inside. Her house was nice enough, she supposed, but it was empty. And she didn't mean in material terms. It lacked the warm, lived in feeling most houses had.

Dumping her bag on the kitchen chair and grabbing a candy bar, she made her way to her bedroom. Her bedroom was her sanctuary, her escape from the real world. The walls were plastered with posters of various anime, the majority of which were Naruto. Anime was her way out, she could focus on the problem of the characters and not her own.

Logging onto her computer, she did three things. The first was to put on music, she couldn't do anything without it, and the second was to check her e-mail. There was nothing but a message from someone she didn't recognize. She checked the address. There was not subject. She shrugged. Probably junk. She deleted it later. She finally pulled up her browser and began to read the latest Naruto manga chapter. When she finished she clicked back to her inbox. Just as she was about to erase the ad, she was hit by an overwhelming wave of curiosity. Acting on impulse, the young teen opened it. When the message loaded, she released the breath she didn't know she'd been holding. She stared in disappointment at the contents.

"This blows…" she muttered as she glared at the single sentence on the screen.

Make a wish.

"Ah, what the hell." She shrugged as she closed her eyes. And she wished. When she opened them she was surrounded by a blue light. Jumping up from her chair she backed away from the rickety old desk quickly. Her foot caught on a black scarf she'd left on the floor and tripped, slamming her head into the wall on her way down with a sickening thud. Her last conscious thought was one of irritation. I knew I should have just deleted it… she thought as darkness claimed her.
