Chapter 1: How it all started
The night was cool and soothing. The rain softly pattered against the windows while the wind whistled building a storm. During these midnight hours, children were fast asleep in there comfy, warm beds as the adults diminished the lights. All except for one girl, no older than 12 watching a happy family celebrate the holidays wishing it was her in the family.
She huddled in torn white rags on a corner of a street as man, drunk, came up. "Hello little girl." He said drunk holding a beer bottle peering at her face. The girl flinched away and looked up at the man afraid. The man laughed and threw the beer bottle away. He came closer curling his upper lip sneering and pulled her up by the neck. The girl struggled but she was too weak to move, never the less to fight back. The man laughed with glee and slammed her against the wall keeping a strong grip on her. The girl groaned in pain and whimpered, scared. The man breathed on her neck and using his unusually long tongue licked her neck up and down. The tongue was rough against her smooth skin and the girl gasped, tears rolled down her cheek.
"Please . . . spare me." She said choking the words out her voice cracking. The man just simply gripped her body harder running his hands up and down. The girl was disgusted and afraid, finally closing her eyes.
Whezzz! She heard the sound as something flew past her and into the wall. The girl opened her eyes and looked, it was a red arrow with different symbols on it and was stuck in the wall. She looked past the man and saw a teen with black hair and glasses in a white suit holding a very interesting blue bow with a chain dangling from his wrist. He put his raised arm and pushed his glasses up. He narrowed his eyes and shot another arrow, so fast the girl had barely enough time to register what had happened and the man fell to the ground an arrow through his body. The bow disappeared and the girl fell to the ground.
She clutched her head at what had just happened and heard the mysterious teen that just saved her as he knelt down. "Hello." He said softly not wanting to frighten the girl.
"Who are you? Are you going to hurt me?" asked the girl peeking at the teen quietly. The teen laughed and shakes his head.
"Of course not!" said the teen. "I'm not that mean . . . "he said, hurt that she would even think about that.
The girl looked at him surprised and for first time in years . . . she laughed. Her laugh was like the tinkling of bells and the soft chiming of wind chimes. The boy had never heard such a beautiful laugh before and loved it. He smiled and extended his hand pulling the girl up softly. The girl smiled and shook his hand.
"My name is Tsuki, Tsuki Hikari. What's yours? " Asked the girl pleasantly still giggling softly. The boy grinned answering back.
"My name? My name is. . . Shusaka."
