Hello new readers, my name is Angel Rose. If you are reading this story im sorry for the confusing structure.

Giving out a warning, this story contains strong language and in later on chapters MA scenes. This is just a reminder for the readers. I will post on certain chapters when there are MA scenes. That being said now hear is chapter 1. To old and new readers, I am rewriting all of my stories starting with; "Before & After: HS"
…..
….
… Here is the Introduction and Chapter One of Before & After!
Chapter One: Lets Have an Introduction
Normal POV:
"Mom… come on stop taking pictures dad will be here any moment." Holding a camera, a blue haired middle age woman was looking at her 15 year old daughter with her pale blue eyes. "I'm sorry sweetie. You just look so adorable in your new uniform." Looking at her daughter she realized the little girl she raised from birth is now a young woman.
"OKAY! Enough with the pictures already."
"Aww. Kasumi you look so cute when you're embarrassed."
"Reminds me of a younger version of you." Turning around they saw a middle aged man with dark blue hair and sea green eyes. "DAD! You're here!" Ran up to her father to give him a hug. "Great to see you. Late as always. And what do you mean by a younger version? I'm still young." Feeling a vein pop from my forehead
"(Nervous laugh) Yeah I know you are. And my I say you look very-"
"Lovey dovey time is over lets go dad! I have to go to Satoshi house."
"(Sigh) I don't see why you have to be with that boy?"
"I'll explain later lets go." Whining for a few more minutes, Kasumi and my husband walked out the door. "Kasumi! Don't forget to call!"
"I will momma! I love you!" Waving her hands out the car window. Waving my hand back at my daughter, I kept waving until the car was out of my sight of vision. Putting my hand down I moved my feet back to get back inside the house to close the door. A ring set off the house phone, walking to the phone I answered to hear a familiar voice.
"Hey Runo. How are you feeling?"
"(Deep inhale and exhale) it's the usual, me and Dan lying to Kasumi." "You know why we have to."
"Yeah I know. Just how long do we have to hide our identity?"
"We all ask that same question every day."
"Yeah… I'll call you back." Hanging up the phone, Runo stood still spacing out. Thinking about the past Runo wonder if there was something she could have done differently. Or if anyone could have changed their fate. Destiny is not too kind. Why is it do I have to hide? Those many years ago… I was happy… we all were. To hide our real faces from our children. Lying to them… is like a living hell!

No one knows what happened to the Von Del family, their death is still a mystery. The only survivor from the fire is princess Sharleen. Because of her name she is stated in government documents to not be touch and to be treated with respect. No one is to touch Sharleen, if someone does then they will have to deal with the government law.
"Hearing this information, you must not treat theses fugitive so easily! They are highly dangerous! This is all the information we have on The Data Squad members! Any questions?" A soldier raised his hand. "General Wong, not to be rude but there are more members in Data Squad! I know the info collected of them have been lost. But how is that possible? What happened to the system?" The general sighed and answered the soldier question. "We don't know what happened to the system but most likely it was infiltrated and hacked. Okay listen up! The prisoners are escaping and-" "GENERAL! WE HAVE CAPTURED THE PRISONORS!" An evil smile graced upon the general face. "Then let's go see them."
POV Normal:
Hearing all the screaming and yelling is putting the soldiers in a living hell. Prisonors yelling at them to release them or once I get out of here im going to kill you bastards. By one side of the cell Dan is calling out all the soldiers. And lets just say its not very pleasant. "The General is coming!"
"Good! I'll burn that son of a bitch to a crisp!" Dan yelling at the top of his lungs.
"For the love of god SHUT UP!" "General Wong is hear! Attention!"
POV Dan:
General Wong standing tall in front of his men. Really is pissing me off! Looking around I see all of my friends beat up and weak. Seeing this is making me sick to my stomach. Especially seeing Runo. Cuts and bruises all over the body. My heart is aching just by… FUCK! We need to get out of here before we get into some deep shit.
"Dan… Dan can you hear me?"
"Heh. You know your telepathy really comes in handy Alice."
"Good to hear. I only have enough energy to get in contact with one person. And since you always have a plan… I thought it would be good to hear what you have in mind."
"Yeah. Plan one I want to get Runo to be safe."
"For that to happen we need a plan Dan."
"I'm thinking Alice… Damn it all!"
"Calm down Dan! Please no yelling."
"Sorry Alice… its just I wish I had a plan but I don't."
POV Julie:
"Sorry Alice… its just I wish I had a plan but I don't." Hearing this I know I had to say something.
"Maybe I have a plan."
"Julie? How did you get-"
"Sorry Alice ill tell you later right now we need to leave here."
"I know that but we need a plan Julie. I don't think I can hold this mind link connection anymore."
"Then don't just read my mind and you'll know what I know."
"That's way too much Julie! I-"
"We don't have much time! Sharleen is a vampire! If she don't get blood soon its going to be a blood bath! Read my mind Alice! Please."
"Okay fine. Lets see whats inside that bubbly head of yours."
POV Runo:
Call me crazy. But I think I might puck. All these people surrounding us. Alice and Julie look like there in deep thought. We can barely move and Dan still finds the energy to yell and shout. So annoying. Whats more annoying is seeing General Wong. Watching us on our knees. Just like how he wanted us in the first place. Taking all of us out of our cells and leading to a closed up room.
"I just don't get it. I just don't. How can you guys stand in my way and I didn't kill you punks yet? Why do you people act like such rebels?" I began to laugh at his question. "Its not that hard General. It all started back in high school."
xXx
Ten Years in the Past, High School Days, Runo Misaki Apartment
POV Runo:
This new uniform is to die for. The uniform blazer can either be brown or black, depending on your grade level. Im so glade that its brown, I think it looks much cuter as a uniform set. A plain long button up pink shirt, the bowtie is a hot pink color. Skirt is a mix color of pink, socks has to be white, black or brown. Most people choose white. The shoes matches with the blazer.
Why do I sound like Julie? Going gaga over clothes...? "And if I had to give you up. It's only been a year. Now I got my foot through the door. And I ain't goin nowhere. It took a while to get me in. And I'm goin to take my time. Don't fight that good shit in your ear. Now let me blow ya mind."
Hearing my cellphone ringtone I pick up to answer. "Hello."
"RUNO!"
"AH! JULIE WHAT THE HELL!"
"I'm sorry. Just so excited about being a freshmen in high school!"
"I can tell. Damn well blew my ears off."
"Sorry. Anyway are you and Alice ready?"
"Umm… Yeah she's in the bathroom doing her hair. And I was about to get dress until someone called me."
"Who was that?" Are you fucking serious! "You dumbass! Now hang up so I can get ready and eat breakfast!"
"Okay you don't have to yell! See you at school bye." With the phone connection I let out a sigh. "Was that Julie?" I turned my head to see Alice by the doorway. "Yeah."
"Need any help?"
"Yeah help me with this bowtie."
I had my shirt and skirt on. Then next my knee length socks. As Alice help me put on my bowtie I notice she was fully dress. "I think I would look better in the black blazer. The brown blazer clashes with my hair" Alice stated.
"I don't think so, it suits you well" I semi agreed with her. Her hair color and the blazer is clashing, but she also looks good. The pink helps brings out the mixed blend between the two. Oh god I really sound like Julie now. Wont she be proud to here the fashionista coming out of me. I smirked at my inner thoughts.
"You think so?" Do I think so? Anything Alice wears looks good on her. She has that natural beauty to her and a body that curves in all the right places no matter what she wears. At times I do get jealous of her, but I have my own style and my own perfect frame. Wish is was more fuller at the top.
"Do you think the others are ready?" Before I could respond to her question I noticed my plain yellow digital alarm clock on my nightstand. It's only eight fifteen. Eight fifteen!? "SHIT! Its eight fifteen were late!"
POV Dan:
"How long do we have to wait for the girls?" Sitting at the park bench by the water fountain with Shun. We agreed to meet the girls at eight-fifteen. Came early at eight o'clock. "Dan stop complaining school doesn't start for another fifteen minutes."
"And the girls are already late meeting us here! I hate waiting and I'm not complaining. Just aggravated" taking out my cell phone to text Runo. I hate to admit it but me and Runo are still together as a couple after all these years. Four years to be exact.
"Well its getting on my nerves. You know how Runo hates to be late for anything. Just be patient" Shun and I have been best buds for a long time. I can tell when he gets annoyed, right now he's really annoyed with me. That's the least of my worries. In our moments of silence looking to my left I saw a girl being cornered by two buff guys. "Hey Shun… You see what I see."
Turning to the direction, "You mean those oversized gorillas? Yeah..."
"Think we should help her?"
"Unless she screams..."
"SOMEONE HELP ME!" Jumping off the bench I ran to the girl. "Guess that's our queue Huh!?"
Out of nowhere a girl with wavy mid thigh black long hair did a high jump kick to one of the guys on her left. On the right the guy didn't have a chance to react since she punched him where his ribs is located. Noticing I was watching her she adverted her eyes from me. Making a quick eye contact I caught a glimpse of blue orbs. For some reason they look red?
"Umm… thank you miss for saving me." The weeping girl cried out.
"Not a problem. Now leave before they wake up." Taking her advice the young girl no more than thirteen years old. Ran as fast as her legs could take her. Our eyes connecting again I gave her my signature smile, "impressed. You took them out with just one hit." Her blue eyes gave me a menacing glare "It's not nice to stare."
"It's also not nice glaring at people who is being nice."
"Don't care. Staring is rude..."
"But so is glaring at a friendly stranger."
"The creepiest people are men who are trying to be way to friendly. Including is they are staring too hard at a young woman."
"Don't make it seem like im a pervert" vex that she is labeling me.
"I don't know you though... Like you said. You are a stranger" giving off a smirk.
Rolling my eyes I got a good look at her uniform. "You go to the same academy as me."
"I guess... Valley Crest Academy, right?"
"Bingo! The name is Dan Kuso."
"Sharleen."
"Nice to meet ya. If you need any help I'm here for ya." She closed her eyes and made a fist aiming it at my nose. "Does it look like I need help?"
Having a good look at her body. I can tell by the way she presents herself she had marital arts training. "No... I know if I see a girl in trouble… I will help even though the girl is independent." Putting her fist down. She opened her eyes. "Macho man are we?"
"Nah just..."
"DAN! The girls are here! Let's go!" Shun yelled out. I looked back at Sharleen. But she was gone. I wonder where she went.
Sharleen POV:
Up in the tree. I see Dan running to his friends. He seems like a nice person. But I wont open my heart to any human that approaches me. All humans are backstabbers, from my personal experience. They can all die for all I care. If they do I won't have anything to eat. With no one in sight I cartwheel off the strongest tree branch. Landing on my feet, I saw the two guys I hit waking up. With a smile on my face I grabbed both of them by their throats. "I'm kind of thirsty boys… mind if I have a drink?" Snapping the thug on my right neck, killing him instantly. In horror seeing his friend dead in this young woman hand. About to scream his last sight before dying was two sharp fangs.
With his last ounce of energy he screamed for help. "Please… some-… help...!" Just like kohaku... A very unpleasant memory came to mind. How sad. He will die knowing he wasn't protected. No one will care about him. A pathetic thug. Robbing the innocent. The world would be glad to see him gone. With my own two hands I ended his life. But not all bad guys are taken from this world, most of the time its the good. The good innocent lives... Kohaku...
Tell me what you think about Sharleen. I want to hear your thoughts. The date for the time travel is not accurate, the date will be change at a later time. Again tell me your thoughts on the first chapter.
The ringtone song I used for this chapter is from EVE ft Gwen Stefani ; Let Me Blow Ya Mind
The ending theme song is from anime/manga Soul Eater ending 2! (I couldnt find the name for this song). The ending stars Sharleen meeting a mysterious boy at the park (kohaku), and along the way background images of the bakugan gang will appear as she walks/runs to the park.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Or any of the music, anime/manga i mention in this chapter!
