It was September 21, 1992. a cool Autumn morning. " Dear come look at our new baby girl!" said Mrs. Shima calling her husband in.
" Honey she's beautiful! She's got your face and hair, and she has my green eyes." " What should we name her?" asked Mrs. Shima giving it some thought. " Akiko!" , they both yelled.
Little did baby Akiko know, that from this day forward, her life was about to change. Five years goes by. Her aunt and uncle babysat Akiko, while Akiko's parents goes out shopping for groceries.
An hour later goes by. "Aunt Viv, when will mom and dad be home?" asked Akiko. "They'll be home soon..." said her uncle. " Why don't you go watch some TV till they get back. I'll make you a snack." "Okay!" nodded Akiko.
Akiko turns on the TV. The TV turns on to the news. In big bold letters is said, "Parents died in a car accident!" "Aunt Viv, uncle Charlie,
look look!" They ran out into the living room. " Some people died in a car..." Aunt Viv dropped her plate, and crashe don to the floor.
" Aunt Viv are you okay?!" Vivian came back into reality. " Lets all go drive to the park..." her uncle suggested. They all oacked all of Akiko's clothes, and tedybear in a suitcase, and drove to their house. " Aunt Viv, Uncle Charlie.. we just passed the park..." Akiko pointed.
" We are gonna take you to our house sweetie..." said Charlie. " Who was that on TV?" Akiko said tying to change the topic. " That isn't mommy and daddy is it?" Aunt Viv shook her head. " It was a young married couple." Akiko nodded.
A few days pass by. Aunt Viv and Uncle Charlie now looked after and home-schooled Akiko. One night Akiko woke and cried. Her aunt and unlce come in. " What's wrong dear?" " I had a bad dream about mommy and daddy... where are they?" " It was only a bad dream, and they went on vacation, they'll be back soon..okay?" Akiko nodded . They kissed her forehead , and she went back to sleep.
Seven years pass by, and now Akiko was thirteen. The lies that her aunt and uncle told her was only getting harder, and bigger. One morning, at breakfeast, Akiko asked where her parents were, like she always did. " Where is mom and dad?"
" They went overseas, they are flying back in two days." Akiko once again nodded like usual. Another year passed, and Akiko started putting the pieces together. "Aunt and uncle Sakagami, where's mom and dad?" They told her another lie. Yet again Akiko nodded.
She decided to take a walk with their brand new puppy to the park right across the street. " Gonna take Spenser on a walk..okay..." she told her aunt and uncle. Akiko opened, the door, and read the newspaper. On the front cover it read, " The parents are Identified: SHIMA! "
Akiko thought to herself, but she knew that her parents are alive, from what her aunt and uncle told her. Akiko set the paper down on the table, and walked right out the door, ont knowing the dog was stil inside the house. Outside, Akiko bumped into a woman with what looked like detectives would wear in those old TV shows. " Sorry." she said, and bowed at the same time, and walked away to the park.
The strange woman remembered Akiko walking out of that house. " Are you Akiko..Shima? Akiko turned around. " Y-Yes.. who's asking?" " The Vampire Hunter Assocation!" Akiko started laughing. " Lady your cazy, it isn't even Halloween yet! " The lady gave Akiko a serious look.
" Are your parents home? " " No my mom and dad are flying back from overseas, they'll be here on about... three days..." Akiko explained. The lady sighed. " I'm sorry to inform you Miss Shima, but your parents aren't coming back. They weren't even overseas."
The lady sighed. " They're dead!" Akiko was shocked beyond belief, and started to cry. " H-How? My-" " By vampires..." Akiko soon realzied at the very moment her parents were never coming backm abd her aunt abd uncke lied to hear all this time." From here on to today, your gonna be a vampire hunter, just like your parents!" She got in to the car and drove off. " M-my parents were vampire hunters?!"
