Character Info!

My name is Akemi Mizu. I`m 16. My parent`s died in a plane crash on their way back home from Honshu (I live in Hokkaido) when I was about 3 years old. Luckily, they were rich so I had enough money for me to survive until I was 15. I started working at the library just to get enough money for food and clothes. That was all I needed. I could get any entertainment from the books at the library and I didn`t go out much. I have long black hair and red eyes.

Chapter 1!

I woke up, took a shower, brushed my teeth, put on my school uniform, brushed my hair and left for school. Same routine everyday.

In the halls, I would be glared at, shunned, hated.

Same old.

I walked into my class and sat in my desk. Permanent marker smeared over the top sayin 'go die' or 'get out of here'. I sighed and opened up my manga. Everyone hated me for a god-knows-why reason. I guess I`m just hateable. I could never make friends, so I always read manga. Naruto, to be exact.

Naruto reminded me of.. Me. No parents.. shunned for no reason. The only thing different about us, is that he had the guts to try. To try to fit in. He had a strive that made him noticed. Made him have friends. Made him... wanted.

And that`s what I loved about him.

We are the same.. yet, so different.

He could save anyone from their darkness, while I was constantly sucked in. But this is the real world. He couldn`t save me. No one could.

I kept reading my manga while the others mocked me, calling me an "otaku", but I really didn`t care. The teacher was handing out assignments back and as usual, I got the top score. 100%. My classmates glared at me in envy and I put my book away. After school I went to the gym for Judo club. I liked it because it gets other things off my mind and helps me blow off some steam.. Even though I was a girl, I could beat all the guys there. I was abnormally strong.

After, I walked to the bus and sat in a seat waiting for my stop. The bus was unusually packed with people. I mean, sure, it was always full but today it was crazy! I noticed an old lady struggling to stand on the bus so I stood up.

"Excuse me, Ba-chan, would you like to sit? I get off soon." I said. I lied about getting off soon, but I don`t need to sit.

She smiled at me greatfully and sat down. "Thank you, miss." She replied. I smiled and stood.

Old Lady`s POV

The teenager asked me to sit down and I took the seat. I wonder... is she worth wasting 'it' on, or is she just doing what any other person would do? No, if any other person would do it, I would`ve gotten a seat by then. She said her stop was soon, so maybe she isn`t worth it.

I stayed on the bus, waiting for when the girl would get off. But it wasn`t any time soon. In fact, it was one of the last stops, but she continued to let others have a seat until she was the only one standing. I smiled and nodded.

She`s the one.

When she got off, I followed and stepped off the bus.

Akemi`s POV

"miss! Wait please!"

I turned around to find the Oba-san from earlier.

"Oh, is this your stop too?" I asked.

She nodded. "Why did you lie to me?" She asked.

"Well I thought you might not have wanted the seat if I had to wait for awhile. Sorry for lieing." I said shyly.

She giggled and thanked me before walking up to me and placing a bag in my hands. I raised an eyebrow.

"What is this? I asked."

She giggled as her hair turned from white to a golden blond, her wrinkly skin turned silky smooth and her eyes changed from a faded grey to a deep emerald green. "Magic." She answered before disappearing into the shadows.

"M-Matte!" I shouted while reaching out. But I was far too late.

"What do I do with this?" I said to myself.

'Whatever your heart desires.' A mysterious voice said in my head. I looked around to find no one near. I was still suspicious, but I shrugged it off and walked home.

I sat on my bed and stared outside my window to see the stars. I had nothing on my mind besides wondering what the Oba-san meant by "magic". My thoughts were interrupted by a black cat walking along my window. I looked at it and smiled as it tried to scratch my windows. I opened my window and let it curl up on my lap.

"You don`t hate me do you?" I asked. He nuzzled his head on my lap and purred before falling asleep. I giggled. "I`ll take that as a 'no'." I said then resumed staring at the stars. "It must be nice.. Staying in one spot for years... Not a care in the world. Looking down on the world as you lighten the night. People wishing on you for their dreams to come true."

"Stars in the sky, if I`m not asking too much.. please grant my wish... I wish.. I wish to be loved." I whispered softly before drifting into a deep sleep..

'If that is your wish, it shall be granted.' I heard the lady`s voice say.
