Prologue

Everyone in the street, alley and Southside of La Nueva, knew or saw the car coming. An Audi A5 drove by. License plate spelled out KANZAKY. Everyone knew who she was, what she represented, and the danger she could be if you crossed her brother. Strange...everyone knew that...but her.

Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home

She drove into her driveway. It had been eight years since she left this same driveway. "It's good to be back," she whispered. Seeing her house made her remembered why she left. Sometimes she wished that she wasn't as intelligent as everyone raved. It really just came natural for her.

She remembered being twelve and attending 12th grade in her local high school. It was embarrassing, but her big brother always tried to protect her. He was fortunately a normal junior back then. Then when she graduated and was offered a scholarship paying for all her studies to Harvard, she was so ecstatic. She convinced her dad and even got a nanny to take with her to Harvard. She loved it there, and now, during her residency she decided to go back home and do it their. At least she could be with her dad and brother more.

Hitomy Kanzaky was still sitting in her car marveling at her house. She was a twenty year old now. Basically, a doctor something her dad would be proud of. That triggered great joy for her. Hitomy was still daydreaming about her past when the front door opened.

"Mamuro," she whispered. Her big brother was there standing in the doorway. He looked so different with his curly golden-brown hair hanging loose and his mystic green eyes staring at the car. She really missed him. Opening the door she got out and gave him a bright smile. "Hey ...long time no see. So... are you going to give me a hug or something?" She said to him. Inside her head she laughed. The look on his face was priceless, but in three big steps, she was soon enveloped in a warm hug. He finally said," What are you doing here? Gosh, you're so grown. We need to talk. You got a new car. Why didn't..." But he was cut off by her hand that at that moment was covering his mouth. "Hold on, one question at a time big brother. Why don't we go inside, okay?"

[Her brother's Point Of View]

Mamuro was wondering who was in the car. 'Maybe it's one of Van's goons, but that car is not like the one they drive.' He didn't care if it didn't look like Van's gang signature car. He had to be careful. He grabbed his gun and hid it behind his back. He heard the safety come of the gun in his hand. It seemed like his hand did this automatically. The door opened. But who he saw come out was an angel. He stopped in his track. He could not believe it. This girl look like his sister but also like his beautiful mom. Then the girl laught and said in a very familiar voice "Hey, long time no see." Silence was his response. "So are you going to give me a hug or something?" He was so sure of himself. This was his little sister. He walked as fast as he could to her and hugged, kissed, and spun her around. He could not believe she was here after 8 years. She was all grown up. He had so many questions' he tried to ask her but, she only laughed and covered his mouth. She said after each laugh, "Hold on, one question at a time big brother. Why don't we go inside, okay?" He quickly grabbed her stuff after grabbing her keys and pushed her inside the house.

[Back to Hitomy]

They were inside, and it all looked the same, just as she had left it. Her brother was putting her stuff in her room. She went out to look at the picture frames that were the only thing that was different. She picked up the one that had her mother, father, big brother, and herself. She remembered that summer day. They were in the park eating mangos and watermelon with the sent of the cooking carne asada sizzling to the side. Yeah, those were the good days. That was until mom died.

Pushing her memories aside she turned to find her brother. Mamuro finally came back. He had a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a DVD in the other hand. He asked, "Up for a movie?" She smiled. She couldn't help it. She grabbed the popcorn and sat down on the couch. Kicking her shoes off, she asked what movie he had. "Madea's Family Reunion." Then he put it on and sat next to her. They were engrossed in the movie and in their food. He had order Chinese her favorite. They were snuggled up on the couch seeing the movie when someone knocked at the door. Mamuro excused himself and went to answer it. It was a guy at the door. He was dressed in a tight maroon shirt and black baggy pants. His eyes almost matched his shirt and his hair was a silvery white. His face was perfect except for a scar on the right side that ran from his cheek bones to his chin. He came in and stopped when he saw her.

"Mamuro, who's this babe you've been hiding from me?" He said in a deep, silky voice; only to receive a smack from Mamuro as he sat back down.

"Dilandau, this is my kid sister Hitomy. Hitomy this is a friend of mine, Dilandau," Mamuro answered.

She looked him straight in the eyes and with the Kanzaky fearless stare, she stretched her hand out and said in a clear voice, "Nice to meet you Dilandau."

To be continued...


A.N. To all of you, this is my first story! Okay, if you guys are reading this again you may have notice that I put chapter 1 & 2 together. It won't be until chapter 3 that you see the HUGE change. So, sense I have made some big changes in some of the other chapters so I decided to delete the story and put in the new and improve version. I thought the first few chapters were really short. So, I'm fixing them as I go. I'm praying I will actually complete this story! I hope you guys like this first chapter. Please review and give some constructive criticism. LOL! Well enjoy and keep reading. REMEMBER MY GRAMMER AND SPELLING IS NOT THE BEST!

(P.S. I spell Hitomy with a "Y" and her last name as well. I just think the "y" looks better. he he = )
