Prologue: Summary
Sakura was in the car with Mizuki, they were driving out to visit Sakura's friend Lance, or rather, Lance's grave. Lance had passed away six months ago after being stabbed through the heart by Sakura's crazy grandfather who kidnapped Sakura's friends in order to use them against Sakura to gain her Draconian powers, which she and Lance had gained after her uncle had done some genetic engineering on them to create a race of super-humans when she and Lance were children. After the supposed unsuccessful experiments, Sakura had made the mistake of overhearing a conversation between her father, uncle and grandfather which, after a series of different circumstances, led to Sakura being disowned from her biological family, the Ogasawaras.
Years later, while attending her first year of high school at Lillian Academy with her best friend and old neighbour, Yumi Fukazawa, Sakura was reunited with her biological sister Sachiko. After weeks of avoiding her sister, a letter from her grandfather, a trip to the hospital and the reunion between her and Lance, Sakura left Lillian with Lance to go into hiding for a time. They were lured out by the kidnapping of Sakura's friends by her grandfather and Sakura's uncle sent them a small vial of liquid that would remove almost all the powers of the Draconians that were bestowed upon Lance and Sakura. Sakura had Lance drink it and he lost most of his powers, though kept his telepathic abilities and his Draconian wings.
Following this, they received a letter that explained that Sakura's friends had been taken hostage by her grandfather and planned a rescue mission. Sakura originally wanted to go alone, but Lance disagreed and Sakura, who didn't have time to argue, let him come. Upon arrival at the Ogasawara Mansion, Sakura led Lance to a tree which turned out to be a secret passage to the basement of the mansion. They found and freed Sakura's friends and sister, and Sakura fought her grandfather. Halfway through the fight, Lance told Sakura to check on her friends and take a break. Sakura did as she was told, and returned to the fight, just in time to keep Lance from being beheaded by her grandfather.
However, when both Sakura and her grandfather were going to deal the killing blow to the other, Lance stood between them and was stabbed through the heart with the blow that was meant for Sakura and died in her arms. Wracked with grief and rage over the death of her best friend, Sakura concentrated all her energy into one final blow that sent her grandfather flying and erased his memories of her and Lance being Draconians. Sakura used her Draconian powers to heal Lance's wounds and finished the job by sending his body off in white lights, the only thing left of him being his sword and a pure white feather from his wings.
Now, six months later, Sakura and her adoptive sister Mizuki, who had become her guardian after she was disowned as a child, were taking their monthly trip to visit Lance. Sakura wanted to go alone, she could get there faster by flying, but Mizuki wanted to come along as well so Sakura let her. As they ripped down the highway in Mizuki's navy blue convertible, Sakura thought about Lance and the events that had led up to his death.
Then, a lot of things happened at once. Mizuki swore and slammed on the brakes, sending the convertible in a wide arc, a horn honked loudly, something slammed into Sakura's side of the car and the car began to roll over many times. Mizuki was screaming, horns were honking, the airbags deployed and Sakura was thrown this way and that. She hit her head and the last thing Sakura saw was the cracked windshield and blood dripping into her eyes as she saw the limp and bloodied form of Mizuki lying against the steering wheel, then, her world went black and she knew no more.
