At the door to a prestigious looking house stood a figure face to face with someone.

"Mi-chan! Let's go and play!" A boy about the age of ten with blue eyes and a wide smile said to a slightly younger girl with teal-colored twin tails and bluish-green eyes.

The boy, other than his eyes and hair, had a kimono on that boys his age would wear. It was white with thick blue lining and wave patterns. His hair was messy and he smelled of freshly caught fish.

The girl on the other hand, she had an elegant sea-green kimono with a dark green obi tied around her waist. Her hair was long and she was not bothered by the boys's stench.

"Kai-Kun, I would love to but mama and papa told me to stay inside today. They said that we have guests coming over," She reluctantly told him.

The boy nodded in understanding and then asked if they could play inside the house instead. The girl agreed, and let him in. They played everything they could think of: catching and throwing a ball, house, dolls, chess, and even more things.

Soon enough, the guests came by. The "guests" that came by "were" actually just one man that was bald but young and handsome. The two kids, Mi-chan and Kai-Kun, were playing in another room while the parents were talking with the man in the room next door.

"I wonder what they're talkin' about," Kai-kun wondered aloud while playing a game with Mi-chan.

Mi-chan shrugged and then said, "I dunno but-"

Thud

"W-what was that?" Mi-chan asked right after the noise that cut her off mid sentence.

"Let's stay quiet…" Kai-kun whispered to the girl. She nodded and they stayed quiet.

Footsteps were heard coming toward the room the kids played in. Mi-chan and Kai-kun stared at each other and froze in fear. The door then slowly opened to reveal Mi-chan's father. He smiled at them and entered. The kids went into relief mode after that.

"The guest left my dear Miku. Kaito, you can go home now," Her father told them.

Out of the corner of Kaito's eye, he noticed that the room behind Miku's father was dark. Vigorously, he shook his head, not complying with the older man's order.

"I see. Okay, then. Let's go into the kitchen. I'll have mother prepare something," He smiled.

The kids followed the man into the kitchen. Miku was excited to find out what they are eating. Kaito, on the other hand, has a sick feeling that something might happen.

As the two waited for Miku's mother to come, Miku's father told the two that she wasn't feeling well. Uneasiness set into Kaito's stomach as he clenched it.

"Papa, how about you make us something?" Miku asks gleefully.

Her father looked at her with a happy face. It then turned into a frown of anger. He grabbed the girl's twin tails and hoisted her up, causing her temendous pain. Then he threw her to the side, resulting in crashing through the wall and into another room.

"Mi-chan!" Kaito cried out. He ran away from the man and goes to his friend's side. As he cried, Kaito hugged Miku, holding her tightly as the two were being approached by her father with a knife in his hand.

"Kai-kun! I'm scared! Kai-kun! Kai-kun! Kai-"

A pair of blue eyes opened wide immediately and then blinked a few times. The eyes belonged to a man with blue hair in the shade between sky blue and plain blue. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, maybe more. His attire consisted of a formal kimono-like outfit for men; the shirt was grey and long-sleeved with a white v-collar that exposed a bit of his chest and a bit loose; his navy pants came to his waist, which was held up by a green sash. On the left side of his waist was a long sword.

"It was only a dream…just a dream…," The man thought to himself.

He sat up and looked out into the open, grassy, and green field. Beyond the field, there stood a small town. His legs dragged him across the meadow and toward the town.
