This can't be happening. I won't let it. This is exactly why we moved to Japan. The blonde head bobbed up and down roughly in her kidnapper's arms. My legs felt numb and my lungs were on fire. My mind willed me to carry on but my body protested. My sight was beginning to blur and my hearing crackled like an untuned radio. However I still ran and somehow her long golden hair stayed clear in my sight when everything else disappeared.

Falling.

I woke with a start. I expected a hard concrete floor beneath me but was shocked to find a soft cushioned sofa. Looking round I saw three boys asleep on the floor and a door that had been left ajar. I could see four more in there. Had I been taken as well? I could have been since me and Hitomi are worth most when we are together but surely the guards wouldn't be asleep, I wouldn't be in such a pleasant place and I'd be with Hitomi.

"Oh good your awake." A tall man with glasses said. The four that had been in the other room now stood over the sofa. The man was stood with a smaller brunette man that had girl like features, a small blonde child that looked about nine and an extremely tall black haired man. They were in some kind of uniform. Wait that's the uniform that the High Schoolers from Ouran wear. I may not be from around here but I recognize it. Ha I'm older than these lot. I can escape easily if I just wave my sword at them. My sword...Where'd it go? It was strapped to my back earlier. They must have taken it. I underestimated them. Bravely, I stood looking down on them. I may not be as tall as that black haired guy but I'm taller than the others.

"What's your name?" The nine year old said. What he couldn't be nine since he was in a high school uniform. Maybe I'm dreaming.

"Chiyo."I reply cautiously.

"Just Chiyo? Don't you have a family name?"

"I do but I don't use it since they disown me."

You're probably wondering who I am aren't you? My name is Chiyo. I have black hair that falls in wild locks to my shoulders. My eyes are grey and I don't bother much with make up. Right now I am wearing dark navy short shorts, a black sleeveless top and fading combat boots that go up to my knees. I am the sworn protector of Hitomi and the unofficial baby sitter/mother of Mari and Ayano. Although the second role is extremely annoying at times I still care about them and would do anything for them. But now they had all been cruelly taken from me by a greedy gang of men that would hand them in for the fortune they were worth. But if they wanted the full amount they would have to get me first.

"We found you unconscious in an alley. What were you doing there?"

"Trying to get my friend back. Some men stole her away from me and now I need to find her as soon as possible."

"Why did they take her? Nothing like that has happened before around here."

"My friends and I are worth quite a lot of money in America. You see we escaped a scientific research center about a month ago. And no we aren't some kind of aliens. Since we were five we've been tested on. And I'd appreciate it if we now change the subject."

"Okay..."

I have a feeling they aren't going to let me go any time soon.
