Aishiteru banza-*click*~

Evan looked at the phone's screen,which had the (Romaji) words: Maki...wait,what the hell?Did I sleep order sush-Oh...it's Maki...Evan thought of apologizing while mentally punching himself for mistaking his best friend for a roll of seaweed,rice,vegetables and raw seafood.

"Hello?",Evan put the phone to his ear,he was then answered by te caller on the other side of the line, "Evan-sama~...did you check the time?"Maki said in a strangely polite was bewildered by her tone,but checked the time anyways...Ugh,it's only 7:55...why is she calling a-... "7:55!?,I overslept!",Evan shouted out his thoughts,forgetting he was still on the line... "No shit Sherlock.",Maki,now back to her usual sarcastic tone said in fluent english. "You better get here quick.",Maki now spoke in japanese as the sound of bells was then heard from phone, "I gotta go,bye" *click* The call ended and Evan changed into his uniform,after which he brushed his teeth then took a slice of bread with jam out the door with locking the door he then ran down his apartment's stairs then dashed through the streets and roads.

Five minutes later he arrived at the school gates where he saw his sister chatting with Maki and Hanayo."Good Morning guys."Evan greeted them,Hanayo greeted back,along with his sister. "Oh hey Evan!,sorry I wasn't able to wake you up...you see I went to buy something so I left home really early,i was thinking of waking you up but I felt sorry to wake you up at 5.""It's Fine sis",Locke replied to his sister,then turned to Maki, "Thanks for waking me up,Maki.""No problem",Maki said while playing with her red hair,tied into a ponytail. "Let's go to class now nyaa!",a cat-like orange-blue apparition sounded as it descended with speed into their area.

"Oh,good morning rin!"Evan greeted his friend. "Good Morning Evanyaa!" The girl answered as they walked into the school went to the second floor then parted ways with Evan's sister,after which they went towards Class opened the door greeting a few classmates on the way,then settled in his desk waiting for their homeroom teacher to arrive.

"Good Morning class~ Today we're going to...",Locke only heard the advisor's first few words,and he then fell asleep.

"Evan...hey, Evan wake up,it's lunch break already", The mentioned looked up to three colours: gold,bronze and scarlet,then he realized it was his three girl-friends and best realized it was 12:00 and he had been asleep for four hours.Ahh right...time to get my...his eyes grew wide as he remembered a scene in his house,it was a calm and cozy scenery,two couches,a silver fridge,a granite topped counter...with his lunch-box on it.Shit...i forgot it again...The black haired young man then faepalmed,when suddenly Maki held a bento to his face, "Here,i'm kinda used to you forgetting by now." He thanked Maki and promised to pay her back one were enjoying their break when Rin's phone rang...

"~Suzume Tommorow!~" *click* Rin tapped the receive button, "Hi Rin-chan!",a young woman greeted through the phone. Rin greeted back and chatted with the girl on the other side of the line for half a minute,then handed her phone to Evan, "Evanyaa~ it's Honoka!" Evan then received the phone. "Hi Evan-kun...are you free on sunday,and why weren't you answering your phone?" Honoka asked over the line "Ahh...sorry Honoka...but my sister already booked me on that...I promise i'll have time the week after that though!"Evan replied, "Mou~...well then the week after next it is...make sure you're there okay? .ta.?" Honoka said in a rather suggestive voice,causing Evan to rival Maki's hair. He couldn't answer however, causing Honoka to laugh, "ehehe~ goodbye anata~" *click* The now flustered man then recovered slowly...they were about to go back to class when...

0187 hrs

Evan woke up,seems like he was dreaming of the past huh? "Are we there yet?",He asked the humvees driver, "Not yet sir...ETA's about 10-20 minutes.." He then continued to remember those events...right,it was his last week in Japan...

On that day,May 19,2025 Washington D.C. was attacked by a rebel group,the United States briefly split into two,and half of America's allies supported the rebellion,it only lasted for two days thanks to America being able to recall it's forces from around the globe.

But as a result of a lack of american prescence,the world split into many factions...civil wars began in almost every country...world war 3 began ,only utopias like Japan,Canada and Switzerland were peaceful...

On Thursday the U.S. Government recalled all U.S. Citizens worldwide of military age, signing them as G.I.s and drafting them into the army,navy,airforce and marines...

Finally on Saturday night,Evan and his sister had to leave,after which they spent six months in training...It has been eight years and eleven months since they left...

never even got to say goodbye to them...to her...

Locke heard the humvee stop,so he put his goggles on and pulled his mask.

After that he checked his M16a4 rifle,fixing it's acog scope and grenade launcher.

He readied his knife, M1911 pistol and his grenades...

.Well...let's start this live now...shall we?...
