Chapter One

Rose tip-toed against the window of her mansion, gritting her teeth in frustration as she watched the guards worked late compared to the usual, as if they knew about her escape that day. She gripped her backpack tightly, her eyes calculating. In a second, she created a new plan, as she was trained to. She close her eyes, sharpening her other senses as her right hand slipped into her pocket, feeling the soft surface of a ball-like thing. Rose took a deep breathe in and smirked as she threw the thing she was holding to the guard post. It was pretty big, so no guard couldn't see it. She then took out her handphone and presses a button on her phone's screen.

In an instant, all the guards within a few meters collapsed soundlessly. Rose immediately stood up, running along the hall. She didn't leave any trail, no sound, nothing. The hall was long and dark, with no one passing it except her. Rose abruptly stopped. She inhaled and exhaled slowly. She took something from her backpack cautiously. It was a compact powder. She opened the lid and blew the specks of dust on top.

The moment the dust powder spread, she could see the security laser all over the place. She sighed deeply as she stretched her body for a moment then stood straight up. Her eagle-like eyes were focusing on the lasers in front of her. From the corner of her eyes, she caught something flickering on the up corner of the end of the hall ahead of her. Smirking warily to herself, she began stretching herself for a while then stood straight up as she inhaled and exhaled. She put her backpack down on the hard cold ceramic textile and tied her hair up into a tight ball, not a single hair was out of the shape. Rose then did a perfect flip into the swarm of security lasers.

She didn't land on both her feet since her right feet was on the air, evading a beam of red laser with the powder on her right hand. She turned slightly to the direction of the powder and blew it again so that the lasers were clear for her eyes to see. Once the powder spread once more, it began to clear up the laser beams' invisibility. Determined to get out of that mansion alive, Rose started to evade the lasers one by one, with difficulty since she had to do difficult positions to evade all of them. Then she noticed the lasers beeped strangely, not in the constant timing it had. She immediately knew that the exact people she had been in the process of running away from was sending her message in the beeping of the lasers.

Rose lost her balance once she deciphered their message and activated the security alarm. She cursed loudly at her own stupidity to even lost her balance. She quickly turned back, grabbed her backpack and quickly ran as fast as she allowed herself at the time. Once she was out, easier than she thought it would, she ran for the airport, but not before she disguised herself as an American tourist. Even after her escape, she couldn't help but wonder how she could escape that horrible prison so easily. But it's thanks to Hisa's inventions too. The compact powder was helpful, since it specialize in a few things not for make-up.

Her thoughts were cut off when she arrived in the airport. She got off the car and let it drive automatically with the device she planted in its engine. Rose smiled to herself as she told herself that it's her new beginning, even though she was bothered with the things they told her through the security camera. Shaking those negative thoughts off, she walked in the airport...only to be slammed with a cart.

"AH!" the one who slammed her exclaimed. "I'm really sorry! Are you okay?" The slammer held out her hand.

"No! My money!" Rose faked panic as she watched her fake wallet being slammed into the sea of people. Then she turned to her slammer and glared. "Now I got no money to pay the ticket and the place I'll stay!" Hearing this, the girl gasped and apologized many times. But sadly, Rose won't let her go. Take it if you have a chance to, was what she often heard and trained to do. And now, the poor girl was her victim.

"U-Uno..." the girl said and Rose quirked an eyebrow. This girl was Japanese, she realized. Japan was not a bad place to hide. And besides, if she got it right, then Rose would get a free ticket and house there. She looked the girl from head to toe without showing it. The slammer girl had blond hair, orange eyes, and she was wearing a casual white tank-top covered by a blue jacket that was zipped half-way. Her bottom was a knee-length white leging. Rose stood up as she straightened her clothes and faced side-way.

"Damn! And Japanese money is more expensive than my country's!" Rose muttered, loud enought for the girl ti hear it. Then, as if she got a christmas gift, her face lit up once she heard Japanese. The girl looked at Rose's beautiful black hair and her unique eyes that was shining like a gem between the color amaranth, magenta, or red. At the time, Rose was wearing a black jacket with a white tank-top, black skirt and black stocking. This caused her to have the black-effect. There were people whispering about her too, calling her "The Black Beauty" or "A Beauty in Black" behind her back, not that the girl didn't agree. Rose was beautiful and was in black.

"Are you going to Japan?" the girl asked her which Rose replied with a stiff nod of her head. "So am I!"

"And your point is..?" Rose trailed off, shooting the girl with an annoyed glance. The girl fiddled a little, feeling very guilty about Rose's 'wallet' that was very thick. She was really nervous, even though there was nothing to really worry about. Rose raised her eyebrow in silent question at the poor girl.

"W-Will you stay with me in Japan?" the girl asked shyly. Then she realized what she was saying and tried to correct it, "I-It's just that..I made you lost your wallet and... in return, you should stay in my place..for the time being only! And I'm really sorry!" Rose acted as if she was suspicious about her offer and scrutinized her a bit.

"Alright, then...It's not like I really have any other choice," Rose muttered, her face thoughtful. "But what about life expenses? I had a billion Yen in that suitcase-wallet. Will you return it to me?"

"O-O-One billion Yen!?" the girl half-exclaimed, disbelieve lacing her voice. "I can't afford that much!" That got the girl thinking, Rose waited for her to end her thinking session as she sighed, "I've been saving up for years, living uncomfortably just so I can go there." She made it sound helpless and frustrated so the girl would think quicker. And it worked. Her lessons in that prison really helped her now. The blond girl then looked at Rose, who still had that helpless and in-need expression on her face. She nodded.

"I will try to provide you with everything you need," the girl said with conviction. "I'm Miwa Miyumi. Who are you?" The blond girl, Miyumi, asked Rose with her eyes meeting hers. Rose replied her gesture with a small smile of her own, and the name she had been creating behind those people's back rolled from her tongue.

"Nina Rose," she answered. "Call me Rose."
