In a time when the world was new, the two forces that kept the world were born;

Light and Dark,

Day and Night.

When Day and Night fall out of balance, disaster follows.

Although opposites, Light and Dark are not in conflict with one another.

Or so it was thought…

"Would you run out to the store and pick up some milk?" You mother called from the other room.

You groaned as you rolled off your bed and walked out to the kitchen where your mother was.

"Why can't you go get milk?"

"I don't know my way around the place yet."

"Just incase you didn't notice, I just moved here too. You know, since I live with you and everything."

"Yeah, but you were always better at finding your way around."

"Bull. You just don't want to go get it."

She scowled at you.

Being intimidating wasn't exactly her profession.

"Either way, you're going to get it."

You sighed.

Sometimes you felt older than your mom. More mature.

She had always been crazy.

Responsible, but a bit on the rebellious side.

Most of that was tamed when she found you on her doorstep.

You had always wondered why she had kept you.

Once when you were younger you asked her.

She just pinched your cheek and said:

"You were just so darn cute I couldn't help but keep you all to myself."

Even as a child you had had hair as black as the night and deep, dark blue eyes and no matter how hard you tried your skin would just not tan.

When you got older she said once that if someone had left you on her doorstep specifically, there must be a reason for it.

You weren't exactly rich, but your mother's aunt had left her a large amount of money before she died. Her and her parents weren't on good terms, so you'd never met them.

You shook your head as you walked down the street with your gallon of milk.

You had sworn you had gone this way to the store, but for some reason it looked different. There was a rather large looking patch of woods you hadn't noticed before.

You would think a forest in the middle of a city would be noticeable. you thought as you walked past it.

You felt a chill run threw you as you passed an opening in the woods and you swore you heard someone faintly call out; the words to low to understand.

"Hello?" you stopped and yelled.

You heard the noise again. You looked to see if anyone else was around, but the streets seemed suddenly eerie with silence.

You heard the noise again.

Part of you wanted to leave quickly, the other part, the insane part, wanted to find out what the noise was.

"I must have lost it." You said out loud as you stepped into the opening of the forest.

Nothing. That's what you found. You didn't even hear the noise anymore.

And you were lost.

Really, this is great. you thought as you stepped in some mud. What kind of a city is this?

The sun was setting and soon it would be dark.

Lost is the woods. Bringing milk to mom. This is so like little red riding hood.

Suddenly you saw another opening and ran towards it. You stopped right before the edge of the woods ended and looked around in awe.

"Where am I?" you breathed out as you looked around at the open fields with the sun shinning down on butterflies that flew past.

You placed one foot out of the tree line of the forest and something like an earthquake shook the ground violently. The sky, only for a split, turned a crimson red. And just like that it was over.

You looked up at the sky in confusion and tripped over your own foot, sending you to your butt and the milk slipping from your grasp.

But you didn't care. This was all too weird.

You stood up abruptly.

"I'm dreaming." you said matter-o-factly

"I'll wake up any moment now."

The earth suddenly started shaking again.

Another one you thought

Then a man was thrown out of a part of the woods into a tree. The tree broke and the man just stood up, swinging a sword around like a mad man.

"Shit!" you yelled as you rolled out of the way just in time.

Another man was suddenly there. Just appeared out of thin air. He attacked the other man. A group of people emerged from the woods.

"Who's that?" Someone asked

"How should I know?" Some different voice answered

You realized they were talking about you.

You shook your head and looked over at them.

"Where am I? Who are you? And why are they fighting?" The words flew out of your mouth before you could think.

A large shrub was thrown in your direction.

You dodged it just in time.

"What the hells wrong with you people?" you said as you pushed yourself up.

A girl is the group pulled out and arrow and shot it at one of the men fighting, but the man easily blocked it with some sort of whip that appeared to be connected to his…fingers?

"Now I know I'm dreaming. There's some funky Alice in Wonderland shit going on here." You said as you quickly got to your feet.

Suddenly the fighting came to a halt.

"What? Giving up now?" One of the guys prompted.

"There are more pressing issues to attend to." The other guy responded and took off in a flash, passing you.

And it got even stranger.

As he passed you, you swore time slowed down. You turned your head to get a look at him, your hair flying slowly around you as he passed in a gust. He seemed to notice too, giving you a sideways glance as he went by. And when your eyes connected with his golden ones, even if for so short a time, your heart felt as if it exploded.

Then he was gone, and time seemed to rush back. Someone was talking to you.

"What?" you asked dazed.

"Are you okay?" a girl with black hair asked

"Yeah."

She looked you over.

"Where…are you from?"

"Uh," you shook your head. What was wrong with you? "Tokyo. I'm from Tokyo."

"How did you get here?" She troubled.

"That's what I'd like to know."
