Chapter 1
It was a peaceful day in Tokyo, that is until the loud sound of an alarm clock woke a sleeping girl of eighteen.
"Ugh, stupid clock"
She slams her fist down on it as she gets out of her bed lazily. She rubs the sleep out of her sapphire eyes as she walks to her closet.
" Ugh, I don't want to go to school I want to go sleep." she whines as she pulls out a white blouse and black skirt. After putting on her uniform she fixes her hair in its usual ponytail. She looked under her bed to get her shoes but sees that they are missing.
"Yahiko!!! Where are my shoes!" she yells to her sleeping younger brother.
"…..".
Getting no answer Kaoru stomps to her younger brothers room. She kicks the door open and jumps on the form of her fifteen year old brother.
" Ugh Kaoru get off me!" Yahiko yells trying to push her off.
" Not until you tell me where my shoes are."
" I think there in the living room" he says still struggling.
" Thanks" Kaoru sweetly says to her brother "Oh, start getting ready for school we're leaving in a bit" she says as she leaves his room. Kaoru finds her shoes next to the door and slips them on. She starts walking towards the kitchen but stops as she looks at a picture of her mother, father, herself and Yahiko.
Her parents passed away when she was six and her brother three. After that they lived with there uncle , but five years after there deaths her uncle had business to take care of so he asked there neighbor, Tae, to take care of them while he was gone.
Yahiko walked out of his room ready and saw his sister staring at there family picture. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. " Hey sis you okay?" he says to his older sister.
" Yeah" she replies with a sigh " Come on I'm making breakfast." She said while walking to the kitchen.
" But Kaoru" Yahiko whines " I don't want to eat your nasty food."
"Shut up Yahiko-chan"
" DON'T CALL ME CHAN BUSU!!" Yahiko yells at his older sister.
Offended Kaoru hits Yahiko's head with her bokken.
"Itai!!" he yells while rubbing his head "Why did you hit me!"
" Because you called me ugly" she said with a satisfied smile on her face.
" Whatever, I just don't want to eat your cooking" Yahiko pleads.
" Alright, eat some cereal, but call me when you're done" Kaoru says grabbing her bokken and sakabato.
"Sure" Yahiko says while looking through the boxes of cereal.
Kaoru heads outside to practice with her bokken and her sakabato. She starts with the bokken . She starts out with her katas, then she get's into her stance and begins to attack her invisible opponent. Finishing with the bokken she lays it down on the grass and picks up her sakabato. She unsheathes the finely crafted blade and holds it firmly in her hand. She sees a light breeze blow some leaves out of a tree, she disappears for a moment, but the she reappears and all the leaves that were blown out of the trees land on the ground cut in half. Kaoru sheaths her sakabato satisfied with her skills.
"Come on Kaoru lets go!" Yahiko yells from inside the house.
"Alright I'm coming" she replies as she picks up her bokken.
Kaoru runs into the house to put them away and grabs her school bag. Running to the front door she grabs her keys from the table and heads to school with Yahiko.

Tokyo High
Kaoru and Yahiko walk up to the front of Tokyo High and scan the crowd of students for their friends.
Both of them turn around as they hear a short girl with green eyes and raven black hair done in a braid calling them over. They recognize her as Misao and quickly walk over to meet her.
" Hey Misao what's up?" Kaoru asks her.
" Oh nothing, I'm just looking for you and Yahiko-chan."
"HEY!! DON'T CALL ME CHAN ITACHI!!" Yahiko yells.
"DON'T CALL ME WEASEL GAKI!" Misao yells just as loud.
'Looks like they've started their usual bickering' Kaoru thought as she looked for the rest of her friends.
" Jou-chan" a tall guy said from behind her.
"Oh, hey Sano, Megumi." she said a bit surprised.
"Hey Tanuki" Megumi said greeting Kaoru.
Kaoru rolled her eyes at the nickname. A loud ringing was heard which meant that classes were going to start for the day.
" Ugh, Another day of boring class." Misao whined.
" Come on Misao it's only Math." Kaoru said trying to cheer her up.
" You're only saying that because you're good at it." Misao said.
As they stepped through the door they saw that most of the students had taken their seats.
Kaoru, Misao, Sano and Megumi quickly took their seats and waited for their teacher to come in. Just as they sat down there teacher Ms. Tsukara came in.
"Good morning students" she greeted kindly.
"Good morning Tsukara-sensei" all the students said tiredly.
" Well we have a new student that just transferred from Kyoto. Please come in young man." Ms. Tsukara said.
The door opened and in came a red haired boy with amethyst eyes and a noticeable cross shaped scar on his cheek.
