Prologue

My body.

Wrong.

My mind.

Wrong again.

Me.

No, me.

The moment you enter the house of a stranger, your mind will specify the tiny details you never noticed in wealth familiar surroundings. Something like a jacket lying on the floor instead of hanging on a peg, or that the doorstep creaks slightly every time someone steps on it. These things may seem unimportant, but they are really all that makes the difference.

Why do you keep on fighting? Why do you not surrender?

I closed my eyes, a memory started to take form.

I'm on the beach. It has been a long time since I inhaled the salty sent. It is, even if it shouldn't be, so familiar. The sand is white and it feels good against my bare feet. I only want to stand here forever and listen to the waves lapping the shore.

While I stand there and watch the sun sink into the ocean, a sound reaches my ear. It is weak, but I can still hear the sadness inscribed in the voice. My eyes are peering around hoping to find the sound source, but fail. There are no people around me, just a couple of seagulls screaming faintly in the distance. Both to the right and to the left there is nothing but sand and water.

Suddenly the sound dies out, and my peripheral vision sees the figure crawling out from a hole in the ground. I turn to see a boy. His clothes are dirty and torn, his hair is full of dirt and his face, arms and legs are full of bruises and several small cuts.

Based on what I can see he is my age, maybe even a couple of years older. We study each other carefully before he breaks the silence. "Who are you?"

His voice is harsh and at the same time curious, and he frowns as he looks at me. My first reaction is to not respond, so I just turn toward the ocean again without a word.

"Can you hear me?" There is a hint of irritation in his voice as he takes a few steps towards me and places his hand on my shoulder. I jump by the unexpected touch, and step away, now with my eyes fixed on the boy again. Then I slowly place my hand over my right eye. The left eye I leave uncovered. Up close like this I can easily sense his Nae. A sad and weak Nae, hidden from the world behind an angry mask, and a hint of red buried in his midnight eyes. Jealousy.

"Hello? What is your name?" he says slowly. This is the one, the one we all have been searching for. And I found him.

I can't help but chuckle. But it's still too early, he is still too young.

As I started walking along the waterfront i decide to give him one answer.

"My name is Amu. But don't bother remembering it, we will meet again some day." The water is gently touching my feet and I turn to look at him one last time. "I promise." And then I leave.

I open my eyes again. The voice inside my head is still asking me the same questions.

You are just a little girl. You can't win. Why do you keep on fighting?

The answer is simple.

"Because I have something to fight for."

Aw, that was short :( But I think I'll upload more chapters. This is my first story so please R&R and Please No flames.
