Chapter 1: A new invention in the house.
"Let us not forget though trying times there are
We have not lost the war, by far
Still work to be done and as the old hymn says
We all can overcome"
-Curtis Mayfield
The sound of laughter followed the loud footsteps of five young children as they ran down the street.
"Hurry up slow pokes!" Hiro laughed. "My dad will be home any minute!" He said laughing as they turned the corner. "Masami! Come on!" He said running quickly up to his gate. He could see his dad already inside.
"Are you really getting a computer?!" Toshiko asked as she finally caught up to them, panting at the gate. "No one has a computer. I want to know what it does!" She said, her face bursting into a grin. Hiro paused by the stairs and turned to her.
"Well we'll never find out standing out here!" He said running up the stairs and to the door. He opened the door and all five of them filed inside. "Dad?" Hiro called out as he got inside.
"Ah, Hiro. You're just in time." His father, Yamato Ishida said. Yamato was a thin, middle aged man with dark brown hair and positive but strict personality. "I just finished setting up the computer. I have to head to work in a few minutes. I don't want you touching the computer until I get back alright? I'll be home in just a few hours!" He said running his hand over his sons hair.
"But dad!" Hiro cried. He'd brought his friends all this way and he wasn't even allowed to look at it? He could hear his friends groaning in annoyance behind him.
"No 'buts' Hiro. You waited all week, you can wait a few more hours. If you want you and your friends can grab some dinner out of the fridge. Have what ever you want." He said moving to the front entrance and taking his jacket off the hook. It wasn't cold out now, but it would be in a few hours. "Behave you guys." He said before walking out the door.
Hiro groaned and sat down on the floor, a little harder than was necessary.
"So what do we do now?" Masami Izumi asked, sitting down on the floor next to Hiro. The other joined in, all of them sitting in a circle in the living room. Hiro sighed and sat back, leaning on his hands.
"Yeah Hiro, what do we do?" Keisuke asked. Hiro looked around at all of them, and looked up at the computer. He thought about it a moment.
"Well ... I suppse we can go on it anyway. If we turn it off before he gets home then my dad won't know right!" Hiro said standing up from his place on the ground.
"Should we really?" Toshiko asked, twisting her dark hair in her finger. "We could get into trouble." Her smiled down at her.
"He said he won't be home for a few hours. That gives us more than enough time to poke around a bit. It's not as if we'll be hurting it." He said moving to the computer. "Now ... how do you turn this thing on?" He asked, looking around it.
"You mean you don't even know how to turn it on?" Masami asked. "Let me take a look at it." He said standing up and joining Hiro at the computer. The others joined them around the computer, trying to figure out how to get it to turn on.
"Maybe it's this button." Keisuke said pushing a little square button on the front of the tower that sat under the huge square shapped monitor. The button didn't do anything.
"No that's not it." Tohiko said looking at it. "Maybe it's this button!" She said pushing another button. Hiro shook his head.
"Maybe it's this one." He said pushing another. The computer beeped and the screen flashed on, green lettering coming over the screen. "That was it." He said with a smirk. He watched the green words shift into odd shapes.
"Um ... is it supposed to do that?" Yuuko asked, her hand to her mouth. "What language is that?"
"I don't know ... It's not anything I recognize. Maybe it-" Her paused as the screen started to glow white. "What's it-" He paused again as the light shot from the computer. He jumped backa s the light engulfed all five of them and the next thing he knew, they where falling. As if they had been pitched from a cliff. Hiro screamed at the top of his lungs, fearful of when he would hit the ground. What was going on? He couldn't even think, and the next thing he knew. He lost conciousness.
