CHAPTER 1

I took a deep breath as I walked in through the gates. I always came here when I was lonely or sad or pissed. Being near my parents made me feel better and that's where I was going; to their graves.

Ame Cemetery was quiet and still. The spirits whispered several things all at once but what they said was lost in the wind. I zipped up my jacket as I headed towards my parents.

They were a little farther from the other graves. It was on a small hill near the woods. It was peaceful and I knew they liked it there. I stared at the graves of my parents and placed a white rose on each grave.

It brought back so many memories of when we were all together as a family. It pained me to know that that was now only a memory from the past and that it was no more.

It started to rain; just like on that day. I was only ten years old; a mere child. I blamed myself for their death as I couldn't protect them back then.

Flashback

I was very happy. Teacher told me that making a rose origami was very hard and it was. But finally, during lunchtime, I managed to make a perfect rose origami out of my bread wrapper.

I kept my craft work in my locker; I couldn't wait to show my mom and dad. I knew they'd be so proud of their little girl.

After school was over, I grabbed my origami and packed my bag. I put on my raincoat and rain boots. The rain was pouring down heavily so I hid my origami inside my coat as I ran. I saw the small yellow cottage with the red roof up ahead; my house.

I was excited to show what I had made in school so I ran faster. When I reached the porch, I took a minute to catch my breath. The lights were not on inside. That's odd; my parents should be home by this time.

I removed my shoes and slowly opened the door. No one was there. I was scared. I tried calling for my mom and dad but my voice didn't work. Even the power was out so the lights didn't work. I grabbed my flashlight from the kitchen. I heard some shuffling from my parents' bedroom.

Quietly, I went towards their bedroom. I heard two men talking about 'money,' 'cops' and 'escape.' I couldn't understand what they were saying since they were whispering. I heard them open the cupboard door and look for something. Slowly, I opened the door and saw two men taking, stealing, from my parents' room.

I wondered where my parents were and got my answer when I saw them lying on the floor. Blood; there was so much blood. My parents had been stabbed. I controlled my cries and sobs since the robbers were still in the house.

My mother lay unmoving with blood trickling down the corner of her mouth. My father was blinking and I thought there was hope. He mouthed one word to me, 'Run.'

I did what I was told. I rushed downstairs and grabbed the phone. My parents told me the emergency numbers so I called the police. I explained to them my situation.

Suddenly, someone grabbed my shoulder to turn me around. I was greeted by a slap by one of the robbers. My face stung. I could no longer hold back my rage. I screamed and cried as the robber lifted me up. He threw me to the floor and crawled on top of me.

He pulled out his knife; he was going to stab me like the way he had done to my parents. For a scary moment, I couldn't do anything. Then, I snapped out of my shock and kicked him hard in his soft spot.

I ran towards the front door. His partner tried to grab me but I managed to get away. I climbed on top of the tree in my backyard and held my breath as the robbers came out searching for me.

The police arrived and arrested them. I saw two doctors carrying my mom on a stretcher. Two more doctors followed carrying my dad on another stretcher.

"Momma! Papa!" I cried as I climbed down the tree. I ran towards the stretcher. The doctors held me back but I fought.

"Let me go!" I yelled. "My dad is still alive! My mom is just unconscious!"

"I'm sorry little one," the doctor said with a sad expression. "Your parents are dead."

I couldn't believe it. My parents were dead. I started to cry in the doctor's arms. The doctor didn't complain; he held me in his arms. He stroked my hair and whispered soothing words to me. Soon the police came ushered me to a police car. They took me to the police station. They asked me questions about what happened and I told them what I knew.

I had to spend the night in the police station while they investigated the house. The nice police officer made me a cozy futon in his office. He gave me some tuna sandwiches and a can of apple juice but I wasn't hungry nor was I thirsty.

I stared out of the window and looked at the stars. My mom had told me that when people die, they became stars so that they could look after the one they loved from above. Tears dribbled down my cheeks; my parents were now stars. They would never be with me again.

Something fell out of my palm. I bent down to pick it up; it was my rose origami. I smoothened out its petals with my fingers and gave a small smile. My mom and dad wouldn't be happy if I kept brooding over their death so I decided I was going to be strong for them.

My name is Konan. My parents didn't have surnames because . . . well . . . you know those stories of runaway lovers? It's like that. My mom's parents didn't approve of my mom marrying my dad and it was the same with my dad's folks as well. But my mom was already pregnant with me and they loved each other very much so they ran away together. They moved to Ame and my mom gave birth to me.

I'm nineteen years old and I'm pretty tall. I have my mom's purplish-blue hair and my dad's topaz eyes. My hair is messily cut and is put in a small, loose ponytail at the side of my head. My rose origami rests atop my ponytail. I also have a piercing below my lower lip and I don't go anywhere without wearing a stud.

My personality is boyish and rebellious. I often get into fights but that doesn't mean I'm a gangster! I'm okay at studies and I suck and math but I am kickass in Chemistry! People avoid me because they think I'm a freak but I don't give a damn to what they say.

I like the rain; probably because I was born in the land of rain. I also like origami, running and rapping. It's true! Since middle school, I started composing rap songs. I never performed much but I still enjoy doing it.

Right now, I'm wearing a black jacket over a grey Nike t-shirt with tight dark blue jeans and dark blue DCs. My rose origami is in place and I'm currently wearing a black stud.

After visiting my parents' graves, I went to a café. I ordered a black coffee and waited at a table in the corner.

"Konan-chan," a voice called. "I've been looking for you everywhere!"

It was Inuzuka Hana. Hana was a pretty girl with coal black eyes, which she hid behind a pair of frameless glasses, and long brown hair which she tied in a ponytail. She was a bit shorter than me and she's the same age as me but a few months younger. She had two red upside down triangles painted on each cheek; the symbol of her family.

When Hana was four, her father had left Hana and her mother, who was at the time, pregnant with Hana's brother, Kiba. I stayed with Hana and her family until middle school. Hana and I shared an apartment when we started high school.

Hana was a shy but sweet person. She was a straight 'A' student and always topped the class. She loves animals and reading books. People always picked on her and bullied her when we were little and I would fend off the bullies. That's how we became best friends; even though we're complete opposites.

Hana was wearing a red shirt and a khaki skirt under her black over coat. She wore a grey and black striped scarf and black flats. She was carrying a huge text book in her hands which read 'Mammals'. She ordered at the counter and came to sit at my table. She exhaled deeply as she sat down in the seat opposite to mine.

"You work too hard." I told her. The waiter brought our coffees. I took a sip of my black coffee.

"It's worth it though," Hana said with a smile. "By the way, where were you?"

"I was at the cemetery," I said. "I went to see my folks."

Hana nodded, "I see."

I sighed, "Great. I forgot to pack. Now I'll never be able to finish in time."

"Don't worry," said Hana. "I packed all your stuff a week ago so you're all set for tomorrow."

I raised my eyebrow, "Is that the reason I can't find most of my clothes?"

"You're welcome." Hana said with a smile.

I smiled back, "Hana, you're the best."

Hana giggled, "Well, now you didn't think I'd let my best friend be humiliated on the first day of college did you?"

Tomorrow, Hana and I were going to start going to college. Don't look at me like that! Yes, I got accepted into college. I told you; I'm not that bad in academics.

"Aren't you excited?" Hana beamed. "I mean were finally going to college!"

I sighed, "I don't know if I should cry or squeal with happiness."

"Squeal with happiness," Hana said with a bright smile. "That's an order."

I sighed, "Do I have to?"

Hana nodded, "One the count of three; one, two, three!"

I gave my most girlish scream and Hana joined me. The people at the café stared at us as we laughed and hugged each other. I looked at everyone in the café and raised my coffee cup, "We're going to college tomorrow!"

Everyone in the café cheered and raised their cups and glasses. Some congratulated us and wished us best of luck. Hana smiled and raised her cappuccino as well.

The woman at the counter smiled, "That's wonderful news! Coffee is on the house." The customers cheered again.

Hana and I sat down and started to talk about college. Hana was aiming to become a vet like her mom so all her text books consisted of Science and Zoology books.

I was aiming to become a rapper so I was taking Music and Arts. I didn't need to take any books. I only had to carry a journal for lyric writing which I already had.

Five people entered the café. They were about Hana and my age; maybe a bit older.

The first person was a guy who had long blonde hair tied in a half ponytail and blue eyes. One of his eyes was hidden by his long bangs. He looked like a girl but I heard him order at the counter and his voice was deep and masculine. He was wearing a white shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and jeans with black converse.

The person standing next to him was a guy with red hair and brown eyes. He had his neon yellow headphones on and had a lazy expression on his face. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt over a white long-sleeved shirt with black skinny jeans and dark blue DCs like mine. He lazily ordered and leaned on the wall.

The third was a guy with spiky black hair and was wearing an orange swirls mask so that you couldn't see his face. He was jumping up and down shouting 'Chocolate Muffin!' He was wearing a black t-shirt with khaki quarter pants and sneakers. He also wore a cap that had a picture of a smiley on it.

The fourth was a guy who looked calm and mature. He had long black hair tied in a ponytail and coal black eyes. He gave a soft smile at the lady at the counter and ordered something. He was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and grey skinny jeans with black converse. He looked over at us and made brief eye contact with Hana before looking away.

Hana blushed. I snickered and leaned towards Hana, "You are so checking him out."

"Am not!" Hana protested as she shoved me away. I didn't stop snickering. Then, my eyes met with someone else's'.

It was the eyes of the last guy. He had spiky orange hair and had the most beautiful and unique purple eyes that had several ringlets making them look mysterious and hypnotizing. He had a total of six piercings; three on each side of the nose. Ouch! It must have been painful. He was wearing a long black coat and black jeans with black Vans.

He stared at me briefly and shook his head. The guys left after getting their coffee and muffins. I could see many girls in the café who were giggling and checking them out. They were staring at them and gossiping.

I took a bite out of my muffin, "I wonder what's so great about them."

Hana scoffed, "Yeah right! You were so checking out that last guy."

"Was not." I muttered as I nibbled on my muffin.

"Was too," Hana said as she put her hands on her hips. "And that's final!"

"Whatever." I said as I looked away.

Hana and I thanked the lady at the counter and went home. We weren't hungry so both of us took turns showering and we changed into our .

I wore my father's basketball jersey over my bra and dark blue boxers. Hana wore a plain white night gown. We climbed into our beds.

"Hey Konan-chan?" said Hana.

"Yeah?" I said as I put my hands behind my head.

"Do you think the people will be nice at college?" she asked timidly. I realized Hana was scared of not getting accepted. She was always the last one picked for everything since no one really liked her. Everyone always bullied Hana but she was strong.

"It'll be fine," I told her. "We'll just mind our own business. Hater are gonna keep hating but let's not stop that from being ourselves okay?"

Hana laughed lightly, "Okay. Thanks Konan-chan."

Hana turned over and soon she fell asleep. I lay in my bed and started at the ceiling. I still couldn't get those eyes out of my head. They were so beautiful and captivating. I shook my head. I'll never see that guy again so I should probably forget about it.

I pulled my covers over my head and let the sleep take over me.

ME: Well, what do you think?

Sasori: I think . . . I'm gonna be kickass.

Me: Hold on Sasori. You're not the main character of this fanfic. However I plan on doing one just for you.

Sasori: Arigato Psy-chan.

Me: You're welcome.

Me and Sasori: Please review and stay tuned for chapter 2!
