Prologue

"This isn't sweet," mumbled Skin Bolic as he ate his egg.

He got up from the round dining table and punched the woman waiter in the face sending her to the ground. "Stupid bitch," He yelled, still punching her in the face. "I told you to make it sweet!"

"Hey, hey," said Tiki, Road smiling happily beside him with a lollipop in her mouth. "Don't beat people up in the middle of lunch."

"I'm going home. I can't stand any of you." Skin started to walk towards the door.

"Oh come on now. Surly you can eat an egg without sugar."

"Calm down," said Road. "We've finally got the whole family together for lunch. Now then, Mr. Millennium, will you tell us why you invited us in the first place? Could it be…were finally starting?"

"Yes, yes young one," said The Millennium Earl. "All of the preparations have been made. But before we begin, I have to introduce you to someone very special to me."

Just then, what looked like a teenage girl about seventeen years old appeared next to the Earl. She had short, jet black spiky hair barely below the bottom of her ears that stuck out in the back, with bangs that reached down to her shoulders. She had piercing eyes that were deep purple. She wore a black tuxedo that molded around her curved body perfectly. Other than her uncommon beauty, she also radiated an aura that basically stated that she was not a force to be reckoned with. Along with the fact that an unbelievably huge arrow shaped sword was strapped to her back with bandage cloths and was what looked like as long and as wide as her body.

"Thank you father," said the girl.

"Did she say, 'father'," Road asked silently to Tiki.

"I'm afraid so," he said.

"Well anyways, this is my adoptive daughter, Naomi Millennium. It's been awhile since she's done anything useful so I thought it would be a good time to bring her to see the grand opening."

Of course Naomi was hurt by what her own father had said about doing nothing useful but she didn't show it. Instead she decided to pick her next words carefully so she could be on her way as soon as possible.

"Um…father? What is it exactly that you want me to do?"

"I need you to be my spy."

"What," almost every body around the table yelled. Skin just sat in his chair looking towards the door.

"Naomi here was born with a very strong gift that may now prove useful to me. She has Innocence. So I need her to become a general within the Black Order. Once she has accomplished this task she will be able to have access to all of their secrets-maintaining to the 'heart' of course- which she will be giving back to me."

"But father, I-."

"This could make all of our jobs much easier," said Road.

"But you could have told us you had a daughter and that she had Innocence," said Tiki.

"But father, I don't think I can do it," said Naomi. "Becoming a general is pretty high up when it comes to the order. Maybe you should choose someone else."

"Oh but you must Naomi. You're the only one who can so that means that I need you at this crucial moment."

That was all the encouragement that she needed.

"I-I accept father. I won't fail you this time."

"Great, now can I leave," asked Skin.

Naomi walked towards the door and left the Noah Clan and her father to their further announcements.

"This is going to be one hell of a year," thought Naomi. "No friends, no socializing, but failure is not an option! I must make him forget what happened last time he sent me on a mission…"
