Rika, a 16 year old girl, was walking out of school to go to the bookstore. She couldn't wait to go buy the brand new book "Guardian Prince". She is a girl who is very interested in the myth of the Four Guardians, Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho. She saved enough money and is ready to to go purchase her own copy.
The door of the bookstore opened.
"All right! I'm here now! Now where's my book!" shouted Rika.
She screamed so loud that she had gotten everyone's attention.
"Oops…," added Rika.
"Young lady, this is a bookstore. There is no shouting in here," explained the Store Owner.
"I'm sorry," said Rika.
Rika walked away to the section where her book should be.
"What's his problem?" asked Rika, "All I did was shout. This isn't a library for crying out loud."
She searched every shelf for her book, but it was no where in sight. She saw a worker who worked at the store and asked, "Excuse me mister. Isn't there suppose to be a book called "Guardian Prince" here somewhere?"
"I'm sorry," replied the worker, "But we don't have them anymore."
"It was that popular?" asked Rika.
"No, no," said the worker, "It wasn't just selling well. So we threw them all away."
"WHAT?" screamed Rika.
"Please, no screaming in here," repeated the worker, "Come again soon."
The worker walked away, leaving Rika still depressed behind.
"Awww man, moaned Rika, "Now what am I suppose to do?"
All of a sudden…a ray of light flashed right before Rika's eyes. Which of course, scared her and made her go running for her life and hiding behind a tree…just 5 feet away.
"W-what was that?" asked Rika.
She then saw a book. She went over to where the book was and picked it up.
"Hmmmm…" said Rika. "OH MY GOD! T-this is t-the b-b-ook! This is the "Guardian Prince" book. Oh thank you. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank…"
Back to the story. Rika was overjoyed to have her book and couldn't believe it came out of no where! She continued on her way home and couldn't wait to read it. When got home, she quickly got out her keys and opened the door. She took off her shoes and ran upstairs to her room. She gave her parents' picture a kiss (which is hanging on the wall) then continued up to her room. When she got there…she took off her backpack and jumped on her bed and began to read her book. Put something shocked her. Something that's in her book shocked.
"What! All the pages are…. All the pages are… All the pages are BLANK!" shouted Rika.
Now let's give Rika her Rika moments.
"Why? Why does this always happen to me? Why? First I embarrass myself at the bookstore, then I found a strange book out of nowhere, and now the book's pages are blank. My life sucks. Mom…Dad…I wish you were here," moaned Rika.
Now the Rika moment has ended.
A tear fell onto one of the book's pages and another light flashed before her eyes again.
"Oh my god," said Rika, "Now by book's gone crazy, and why is it floating? Wait, what's that?"
Rika squinted her eyes to see what was coming out of the book. It turned out to be…a teenaged boy! When the light was gone, Rika can see clearly that it was a teenaged boy, but why was he wearing Chinese clothes? When the boy opened his eyes, Rika blushed.
(Rika's saying this in her head) "He's so handsome. Look at those long beautiful white hairs of his." (Now not in her head) "WHAT! WHITE HAIR! He's not old is he?"
The boy opened his eyes and saw Rika shocked to see him.
"Hi there," said the Teenage Boy.
"Wait," replied Rika, "You don't sound old at all. Then explain why do u have such long white hair!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," started the Teenage boy. "This is just how my hair is. It's natural. Did I scare you?" (He said all of this with a smile on his face.)
(Rika's saying this in her head again) "How can he say that with a straight face. I just insulted him, I think, about his hair and he's smiling." (Now not in her head) "Who are you?"
"I'm Kirin, but people call me Byakko," replied Byakko.
"Byakko?" said Rika. "Isn't that one of those guardians in Ancient China?"
"Why yes," answered Byakko. "How did you know?"
"I read all about your Chinese myths on the Four Guardians. The Four Guardians are suppose to be in Ancient China protecting its people. So why are you here?"
"I don't know," said Byakko, "I was just studying and all of a sudden…I'm here. Weird."
"You're telling me," agreed Rika. "Say, how do you go back home. And why do you dress like that. Are you… (Rika was shocked to think that a person from Ancient China was here in the present in her house). You're not from the 21st century are you?"
"What," asked Byakko. "This is the 21st century? It can't be. Isn't this China?"
"Nope," replied Rika. "This is Tokyo, Japan. Where my home is."
"Oh my god! How am I going to get back home? I have a big exam coming up. I need to go study," said Byakko.
"Hold on," interrupted Rika, "Where are going figure something out."
Rika went back to where her book was and tried to get clues from it. She was surprised to see some words in her book. She started to read what it said.
"The person who's chosen to obtain this book would meet the Four Guardians of Heaven and Earth and will show them the right path to take to complete their lives. Then, and only then is when they will be able to return home to where their heart is," read Rika.
Reading the book made Rika think if she was the chosen one who was to meet the Four Guardians and show them to right path to complete their lives.
"What did it say?" asked Byakko. He quickly grabbed the book and reread what it had said.
"To show me the right path? What does it mean?" said Byakko, looking at Rika's direction.
"Why are you looking at me for? I don't know," said Rika. "I don't even know if I'm the chosen one or if your one of those guardians the chosen one is suppose to meet."
"But this is your book right?" asked Byakko.
"Right," answered Rika.
"Then you are the chosen one," said Byakko, like he knows what is going on.
"I heard a legend in my time that the Four Guardians of heaven and earth would one day be taken to a young woman's world. She would show us the right way to live by show us what we're missing and what we need to continue living. You are the one."
"Wait, wait," said Rika. "How do you know that I'm the one?"
"You are, I know it. Thank you. Thank you."
Byakko went over to Rika and gave her a big hug, without hesitation. Rika blushed and that's the end of chapter one.
PecanPie: That's the end of chapter one. Hoped you enjoyed it.
Byakko: See…I told you I would appear first.
Qinglong: Wait. How come Kirin's name changed to Byakko.
PecanPie: Because I wanted to change it. You will get yours changed too when you appear in this story.
Qinglong: Whatever.
Zhuque: Did you readers noticed how much the line 'Oh my god" appeared in this chapter? I know…a lot of times huh?
Xuan Wu: Who the hell are you talking to Zhuque?
Zhuque: The readers. They're all so special ya know. It's because of them that we could talk. Without them reading the lines, we would be sitting here all day not doing anything and not saying anything.
Qinglong: Whatever.
PecanPie: That's all folks. See ya next time in Chapter two. Oh, and give me some reviews. REVIEWS! REVIEWS! REVIEWS!
