"We're sorry to have to tell you this…but your parents are…well…sigh the police Inspector would like to speak with you…please come this way…"

Two small children stood in front of a man dressed in the same navy blue uniform that all the men in their front yard seemed to be wearing. The short man in front of them squirmed under the blinding light that was thrown from the police cars.

They listened, both knowing that they could not possibly fully understand the situation. Both afraid.

The man in front of them cleared his throat "well…this isn't really easy…but…you see your…parent well they're…dead." The last word fell heavily from the man's lips.

The children could only stare.


5:50 A.M.

BUZZ "Good Morning every one! We can expect to see…." Before the morning weather report could be forecasted a slim white hand reached out and hit the snooze button. Under the covers a young girl mumbled, "Every night the same old dreams, and every morning the same thing."

6:30 A.M.

Like so many mornings before Tokio stood in front of the stove making breakfast. For herself and her older brother, who was most definitely not a morning person. It sorta ran in the family.

"Soushi! Breakfasts ready, are you still asleep!" As soon as the words left Tokio's mouth a disheveled Soushi came dragging in. She watched with a fair amount of amusement as her older brother, dropped into a chair with his face in the plate.

"…"

"Good morning to you too."

"…"

"Well, I guess since your asleep that means more breakfast for me!" Tokio smiled to herself it seemed that no one in her family were morning people. That was okay though it made mornings all that much more fun. With unnecessary force she placed breakfast down on the table. "Honestly Sushi you act like you have a hangover!" Soushi raised his hand as if to throw his balled up napkin but it fell halfway to its destination. Tokio sighed and sat down opposite her brother. "Do you want me to feed you too?"

"Hai," came the reply still heavy with sleep. Soushi straightened himself in his chair and as if his body weighed a ton he reached for breakfast.

7:30 AM

"Tokio are you ready to go, you know how Saitou gets if we make him wait!" cried Soushi as he tried to button his uniform jacket with a piece of toast sticking out of his mouth.

"I hear you, God forbid we do anything to make Saitou angry I mean he's such a happy go luck guy!" replied Tokio with a sly smile as Soushi laughed. Their laughter was interrupted by a car honking. Tokio and Soushi rushed outside to the waiting car and of course an irritated Saitou Hajime.

8:00 AM

Tokio walked through the halls of her new school. Like whenever she was confronted with large groups of people she felt angry and depressed. She soon walked into her new homeroom and was immediately greeted by the teacher.

"Welcome to Tokyo Miss Okita, class this is our new student please welcome her and make her feel at home now would you tell the class about yourself?

Tokio stared at the class knowing exactly what was on their mind and wondered what she should say. The truth? They would never believe it.

"Hi my name is Okita Tokio and I live with my older brother and we just moved here from Kyoto."
