Chapter 1

Riiko ran through the streets. 'Have to hurry...' She thought, listening to her footsteps.

Ever since her mother called her one day, she's been anxious. The call was very simple, yet complex at the same time. Riiko always knew her mother had been hiding something from her, but she didn't know what. She still didn't know what it was, but now she knew she would know soon.

"Riiko, have you gotten my letter?" Riiko's mother asked her in an anxious voice.

"What're you talking about? I haven't recieved anything from you yet this week." Riiko told her mother slightly confused. "What's wrong? Why do you sound like that?"

"Don't worry about me Riiko. Just...Treat her well."

"Mom!" Riiko said surprised, but to her concern, her mother had hung up. Riiko dialed her number. Her eyes widened when she heard the sound of the answering machine. "Mom..." She called her back several times, but each time she did not answer.

Riiko decided to dial her Mother one last time before she went home. She listened carefully. Suddenly, her eyes opened wide in sudden alarm. "I'm sorry but the number you are trying to call is disconnected."

Riiko closed the phone. She put it in her pocket and started running again. She ran through the front doors of the apartment buildings. Her apartment came into view and in front of it...

"Soshi." Riiko stopped. "Soshi, what're you doing here?" She asked him.

He grabbed her arm, and started to pull her into his apartment. "I have something to show you."

Riiko went with him effortlessly. 'What's this? First my mother is acting strange, now Soshi?' She thinks, hoping to find out what's going on. She sat down on a chair once entering the room.

"Wait here." Soshi said, and went into a different room. Riiko could hear muffled cries of "Get out there!" And "Let me gooo!"

Riiko glanced at the door, a questioning look on her face. 'Who's that?' She wanted to know. 'Is that a little girl?' Her eyes suddenly widened in fear. 'Oh no! What if that's his child, and he wants me to help him take care of it!' She thought surprised. Then, she shook her head, assuming she was overreacting.

Suddenly the door opened. Soshi appeared, dragging a little girl of about eight years old. Her hands were tied behind her back. "Sorry, she kept trying to struggle." Soshi told Riiko.

'He's a kidnapper?!!' She thought in fear. She jumped up, and then sat back down. Soshi wouldn't kidnap someone.

Soshi went and sat next to Riiko. He handed her a letter. "I believe this is yours."

Riiko looked at the letter.

Dear Riiko,

I''m sorry to not have told you this before. I have sent you your Little Sister you never knew about from America. She's very fluent in Japanese so you won't have any trouble with little Tora. Good luck!

Your Mother.

"Whaat?!" Riiko said in surprise. She dropped the letter. Tora ran towards Riiko. "Big sister, I'm thirsty."

Riiko sighed. Just another person she would have to feed. Then she remembered. "I'll be right back!" She blulrted out, and ran to her apartment. She smiled when she saw Night, her boyfriend. Her special boyfriend who wasn't human. "Riiko! Welco-" He started but got interrupted. "Night! I just found out I have a little sister! You have to hide!" She said, and pushed him into a closet. Night obediently went in the closet.

Riiko ran back to Soshi's apartment. "Thank you for my sister, goodbye!" She said and dragged Tora out of the room.

"Why do you people keep dragging me?!" She howled the short way to Riiko's apartment. She untied Tora and showed her Riiko's bedroom. "Here is your room. Goodnight."

"But wai-" Tora started, but then the door closed and locked. Riiko ran to the closet. "Get in your room!" She told Night quietly.

Night smiled and obeyed. Riiko locked the door and unlocked Tora's door. She opened the door and looked in. "She's gone!" Riiko cried.
