Chapter 1: Eve

"Wielding an incomplete love so tightly. I wanna know 'cause I don't know and I only know how to say no …" Anna watched the girl beside her prance and sing quietly in English. A girl she had only known for less than an hour but allowed to lead her around Shizume. Normally she never left Tatara or Mikoto's side but, well…

Anna, along with the rest of HOMRA, was walking home from the park since Tatara thought I would be a good idea for the young girl to play with other children her age. It didn't turn out as well as he thought since their loud entourage seemed to scare half of them away, but the (slightly) braver children stayed behind. After a yelling match between Yata, Chitose and a few others, they divided into teams and began playing a few games with the kids. Meanwhile Anna stayed beside Mikoto, playing with her marbles.

After a few hours, the children had to go home and the HOMRA members decided to return to the bar.

Along the way, Anna looked around with a marble until her gaze landed upon a girl. "Worries slowly come and kiss. Tell me what's your name?," a girl singing in English as she pranced past the group. While Chitose walked backwards to look at her a little longer and saying how she was 'his type', Anna noticed a small red cartridge fall from the girl's cardigan. Without thinking she ran over picked it up, chasing after the girl.

She didn't notice the group of men calling her name.

And she definitely didn't notice how far she chased the girl.

When Anna finally caught up to her, they were the only two at a crosswalk. She finally noticed Anna when the eleven year old tugged on her sleeve. Red eyes met red umber eyes. "You dropped this." Anna practically whispered as she held the cartridge out.

The older girl's eyes widened as she checked her pockets before smiling at Anna, kneeling down so they were at a better eye level. "Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver."

The girl cocked her head to the side. "Wait, aren't you the little girl that was with that group? You followed me this whole way?"

She received a nod in response.

"Where are you friends?"

And for the first time Anna noticed that Mikoto and the rest of HOMRA were nowhere in sight. Just how far did she follow this girl? And where was she?

"You lost them didn't you?" the girl pouted, "I'm sorry. If I didn't drop this you would've never gotten separated. Do you know your way home from here?"

Anna shook her head.

"Well, now it's my turn to help you." The girl smiled charmingly. Anna decided she liked the stranger.

"What's your name?"

"Anna." Anna blinked when the girl held her hand out to her.

"It's very nice to meet you Anna. My name is Eve."

After their introductions, Eve led Anna back to where she was last seen with the members of HOMRA but they were nowhere to be seen. So instead she allowed Eve to lead her around; to the park, to the arcade, anywhere she thought she would find them but they weren't in any of those places.

Anna took comfort in hearing the girl sing in a different language, taking the time to observe the girl through a marble when she asked a stranger about the whereabouts of HOMRA.

Eve was short, shorter than Yata and looked no older than a middle school student. She had medium-length brown hair with bangs hanging over her red umber eyes, and soft olive skin. She wore an oversized, black cardigan over a short white dress and red converse. Simply, the girl was very pretty. Yata would definitely have a hard time looking her in the eye.

"Anna-chan! I think I figured out how to get you back!" Eve was once again holding her hand as she pulled her down the street, looking at her new friend over her shoulder. "That lady said HOMRA should be down another bl-"

"ANNA!" the two turned at the sound of a male's voice and wheels against concrete. It was Yata. Anna smiled a bit, happy to see the boy. But she sighed when he caught sight of Eve.

Yata began sputtering and waving his hands like a madman until he lost balance and fell off his skateboard, skidding on the ground until he hit a wall.

"Oh my God! Is he okay?!" Eve shrieked.

"He's okay. This happens more than you think."

Anna soon found herself back in HOMRA, sitting next to Eve on barstool. Yata, who sputtered like a fool the whole time, had brought them back.

"I must thank you again for helping our little princess get back safely. We were worried when she suddenly ran off like that." Izumo smiled as he placed a glass in front of Eve.

"It's no problem at all really." Eve squirmed uncomfortably in her seat, glancing back at the present HOMRA men watching her intently. She was told the others were on there way back at the moment. "I just wanted to make sure Anna-chan was safe. If you ever need any help, I'll be glad to help though."

"And we'll return the favor." Mikoto spoke up from the other side of Anna. Eve hummed as she began playing with Anna's fingers.

"Well, I just have a couple of questions. Is he really alright?" she pointed to a still flustered Yata, making the guys around him snicker.

"And…" she frowned in thought for a moment. "Do you know a Tatara Totsuka?"

I hope you all managed to enjoy this chapter, it's been a long time I wrote fanfiction and couldn't think of any other way to end it. This is actually a re-write to the original first chapter I was going to upload, it's slightly better than the original.

For anyone wondering about Eve's appearance, it is cover drawn by a friend of mine. They're a traditional artist for now at least.

Please tell me what you all thought of this chapter. What could I do better in the future chapters? The feedback will be very much appreciated.

Until next time…
