Chapter 1

Time Lapse

"..And on the East side in Osaka there have been reports of disastrous Explosions showing up in several of the top districts in the area. No identity of the attacker has been found except for the few survivors of the unexpected explosions. They say that it was a monster to terrible to describe except for the two glowing gold eyes..."

*Click*

An ivory skinned hand reached out and turned off the black radio as if trying to ward of the depressing news, "*Sigh*," a feminine voice like water sighed, "Not another one."

The voice belonged to a beautiful young woman in her teens. She had layered short black hair with bangs that folded down to frame a heart shaped face. She had slightly rosy cheeks and bright red lips. Her skin had an ivory tone to it and her eyes held wisdom contained behind innocence. Her name was Akane Tendo, heir to her father's dojo and sister to the world's richest billionaire Nabiki Tendo. She lived with her mother in above her mother's restaurant, The White Phoenix, in Narima district, Tokyo. She was basically a normal girl with a dream for adventure and freedom. But right now she was working in her mothers Café at 11.30 pm in a tight white shirt and a short black skirt with high heels and an apron. She sighed again as she put the chairs up and Idly pushed a CD into the CD player.

It automatically went to the song she had left it on, number three, "Who's Got My Back" by Creed. She sighed contentedly as the song came on and she began to mop the floor. Outside it began to rain..

Run.hide.

All that was sacred to us.

Sacred to us.

See the signs.

The covenant has been broken.

By man kind.

Leaving us with no shoulder..with no shoulder.

To rest our heads on.

To rest our heads on.

To rest our heads on.

Outside some one in a trench coat came stumbling toward the only place on the street with a light on. The figure was hunched over as if the person were in great pain. He held the trench coat tight around him as if trying to hide from the world and the rain.

Who's got my back now?

When all we have left is deceptive.

So disconnected.

So what is the truth now?

Akane began to sing to the lyrics and the figure reached the building completely soaked and hobbling. A bloodied hand reached out painstakingly to the glass door, and knocked. Akane looked at the door startled and quickly turned the CD player off. She walked slowly toward the door and began to unlock it. When she opened the door and she gasped when she saw the bruised face of a boy not much older then herself.

He was probably taller then herself but since he was hunched over in side the trench coat, she couldn't tell his true size. It was his eyes that truly startled her, they were a bright silver blue that seemed to swirl with an unseen power. Then she noticed the blood on his clothes and gasped again as he reached out a very bloody hand toward her in pleading.

"P-please." he choked out, "He-help me!"

Then he clutched his head with his bloodied hands and collapsed to the ground screaming. Akane knelt down trying to calm the boy down in worry. She put her hands on his shoulders gently asking again and again what was wrong with the boy. He just kept crying out in agony.

"Oh god, oh god!" Akane muttered She turned her head back to the inside of the restaurant seeing her mother run through the back door of the restaurant, "Mom! Call Dr. Tofu!" Her mother ran back into the back room.

A bloody hand shot out and grabbed Akane's shirt, "No," the boy whispered hoarsely, "Please..no doctors.." He let go o her shirt and finally collapsed to the ground unconscious still muttering 'No doctors.'

Akane just stared at the boy in fear thinking he was dieing. She moved his trench coat back a bit and gasped once more. There in his abdomen was the end of a sword sticking out. The wound and the amount of the blood told her that he'd had that thing sticking through his abdomen for a while.

"MOM!" Akane screamed, "Where's that Doctor?!!!!!"

"He's coming" Her mother yelled.

"Well then," Akane screamed, "GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME OUT WILL YOU?!"

Akane's mother ran out and after a shocked repeat of her daughter's reactioned gasp she helped Akane haul the unconscious boy upstairs to a spare bedroom. The two of them quickly stripped him of his bloodied clothes, (leaving his pants), and carefully began to pull the sword out of his abdomen. Thankfully that was the time that Doctor Tofu, a young doctor with amazing talent in the field, showed up pushing the two women out and handling it all on his own.

The clock turned twelve midnight, down stairs the CD player turned on again.

There's still time.

All that has been devastated,

Can be recreated.

Realize,

We pick up the broken pieces..

Of our lives.

Giving ourselves to each other.. ourselves to each other.

To rest our head on.

To rest our head on.

To rest our head on.

The rain began to grow lighter as the clock reached 12.10. Akane heard the music floating up from down stairs and looked in the direction of the stairs confused.

"Akane." Her mother whispered tiredly, "Could you go turn the radio off, we wouldn't want to disturb Dr. Tofu now would we."

"Hai." Akane muttered as she got up to walk downstairs to turn her CD player off again.

Who's got my back no?

When all we have left is deceptive,

So disconnected.

So what is the truth now?

Akane reached the kitchen and the music seemed to be getting louder...

Tell me the truth.Tell us the truth now.

An ivory hand reached out to delicately turn the knob of the door to the main sitting room of the restaurant..

Who's got my back now?

When all we have left is deceptive,

So disconnected.

So what is the truth now?

The door opened and the music was quiet. The CD player wasn't even on and the room was empty. The front door was closed and locked, there was no blood on the floor from the boy and Akane stood there in the doorway to the kitchen, tired, and confused, with a blood stain trailing from her shoulder to her skirt on her white shirt. Her hair was a mess and her chocolate brown eyes looked at the empty room with silent confusion and what could be fear. She slowly closed the door, locking it. Then she turned around and headed up the stairs to get some sleep. What had happened tonight was certainly unexpected. For Akane it was the beginning of a chain of unexpected things to come, but for now, it was just plain weird.
