The advanture begins...

"SAKURA! MIKAN! WAKE UP!!! IT'S TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL" A fifteen years-old blond girl was yelling, tried to wake her friends up.

"Argh! It's not working! If they're not waking up right now, we gonna be late for the graduation!!" The blond girl sighed.

"I think there is only one method left Hikari." A girl with long black hair and amethyst eyes said.

2 minutes later...

"SPLASH!!!!!"

"HOE/AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The all entire house was shaking by the two girls' yell.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING? WHY YOU GUYS SPLASHING COLD WATER ON US??" Under the pink blanket, lied a brunette brown-hair girl and an auburn-hair girl. The brown-hair girl yelled angrily.

"Waking you two up" The black hair girl smiled.

"Ok guys. You two only have 5 minutes to change. It's already 7:10 and we have to be at school at 7:30, and if you guys don't HURRY up we gonna be LATE for the graduation!!!!" The blond girl said, emphasized the words "hurry" and "late".

"WHAT!!! 5 MINUTES?? But the graduation starts at 7:45!!" They yelled at the same time.

"It's correct but the principal told us to be at school 15 minutes early to prepare for the start of the graduation. Remember?" Tomoyo said.

They both blanked for a second, then...

"AH!!!"

10 minutes later...

"Is everybody ready?" The blond-hair asked one more time.

"Yes" They answered in chorus.

"Ok. Let's go" They closed the door behind them and start heading to school

Hikari P.O.V

Ok, before we continue about the graduation, I want to introduce something about myself so everybody doesn't get confuse about what happens. I am Sukinami Hikari, a fifteen years-old girl ( almost, my birthday is on December 24) who attends the last year of Tomodea High, and actually today is my graduation. Strange huh? When I attended elementary school, my parents took me to take an IQ test and they found out that my IQ is incredibly high for a elementary kid. After my parents having a chat with the principle, they decided to let me skip 2 classes, and let me begin at 3th grade. When I was 6 years old, my dad started to teach me martial art, so that I defense myself and I can protected the other people around me. I got a black belt in kung fu, I am also trained in karate, judo, jujitsu and muay thai, which is basically kick boxing. I've got a reflex speed that's off the charts. I can throw a 200-pounds man over my shoulders and I can speak more than 6 languages. But not only that, there is one more thing that make me become so different from the other, and it's also the secret I've been hiding all the time. It's gonna sound like crazy, but it's true! I...don't have the gene or whatever it is that make you scare, I am never afraid of anything. I guess you can called it fearless, or whatever fear is.

I never tell everybody my secret. Why? Because they obviously won't believe me and they probably just think that I am a freak who going around and telling everybody that I can't feel fear. Haha! I rather not do that! And actually I never really trust anyone before either, not until I met Sakura, Mikan and Tomoyo. Somehow I think they are the only one who I can actually feel safe to be around with. Why? Uh I..don't really know! I guess because we can understand each other's feeling: we all don't have a family. Ops! I guess it's time to back up a little bit. I haven't introduce my best friends.

First, let's start with Sakura Mikan. Mikan was the very first friend that I had, ever since I started Tomodea High School. She has brunette brown hair, usually ties in 2 bony-tails. She is pretty, kind-hearted, funny, optimistic, always happy and cheerful. Even though that Mikan had a lot of friends, but whenever there are new students (new freshmans) come to school, she will be very happy and goes say hi to them, offering helping them. Because of that, Mikan is always popular in the school, and everybody always called her the "queen social." Mikan is also a very trust worthy friend and she always listens to the others if they have any problems and tries to help them solve it, she is a good problem solver as well. I think the only part that I don't like about her is the way she is attracted to manga and anime. Whenever she reads manga, she doesn't care about anything else, no matter how loud you call her name, she won't answer. Not only, that, whenever there is new manga release, she could wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning, to get line in the mall and get the very first book releases. Not like the lazy version of her, could not open her eyes, unless someone comes and splashes water in her face, or yells really in her ears. And if you walk into her room, you'll see everywhere is anime and manga posters!!! Sometimes I think that character trait make she becomes very annoying, but sometimes I think that character trait makes everyone likes her even more. Mikan has all the qualities that a good friend supposes to had and I am very happy that I am one of her best friends.

My second best friends is Sakura Kinomoto. She is very pretty, sweet, nice, kind-hearted and caring. She is extremely energetic and cheerful. She has auburn hair, comes along with the weirdest eyes color that you probably ever seen in your life, emerald. She is also a very good athlete by being a member of cheerlading squad and an excellent runner. Sakura's life is always full of sparks and she never be alone. Her optimistic and trustworthy characters allows her to befriend virtually with everybody. Sometimes Sakura can become across as naïve, clumsy, and clueless, but she has her perceptive moments on occasion. Somehow, I think that Mikan and Sakura are very similar in their character traits. They both friendly, kind-hearted, caring, cheerful, happy and trustworthy. They always wake up late for school, attract to mangas, and they always think very optimistic about life.

My third best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji. She has long, black hair straight down to waist and amethyst eyes. Tomoyo is kind, caring, extremely loyal, highly intelligent, beautiful, meticulous and very melodic. Tomoyo is very mature for her age. One of her major character traits is her selflessness towards her best friends. Tomoyo is always there when her friends needed her, and will lend a helping hand , regardless of who they are. Tomoyo is quite observant, though she doesn't know it, and is also very shrewd. She can pick up on other people's feeling and doesn't mind telling them their feelings to their faces. Tomoyo favorite job is baking cake, making customs (guess who is the model?), and videotaping. (She brings the cam-record everywhere she goes!)

Right now, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Mikan are living with me. I have to admit it. From the day that I met Sakura, Mikan and Tomoyo, my entire life was changing. Living with them made me learn so many things that I never knew before. I had learn how to care about others and I actually had learned how to trust someone. And the most surprise thing of all, they found out about my secret after only 3 months knowing me. They found the key to open my heart. After that, I found myself getting better everyday. I made more friends at school and we usually hung out together. I treasured every moment that I lived with them. I know that one day we have to separate, but I don't want to think about it right now. I want to live like this a little more. I want to enjoy this life a little bit more!

Graduation: (Hikari P.O.V.)

"Everybody, Tomodea Graduation may end now. We are really appreciate and thank you for coming. The students may go back to the class to return their textbooks. The new school year will begin in September 4. And finally, HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!!!"

I slowly walked back to my class. On the way, I was thinking about the past 3 years. All the memorizes about this school, friends...everything suddenly just flashed through my mind.

Flashes of the first time I went to this school, flashes of how I met Mikan, how I pumped into Tomoyo and Sakura, how we became best friends, how they discovered my secret, how they came and lived with me...

"I will never forget the memories, this school as well." I said to myself, smiling lightly.

"Uh, Hi...Hikari-senpai." A voice came from behind me. I snapped out of my thinking and turned back. There were about 4 or 5 girls were standing behind me. I think they are about 14, 15, about my ages.

"Did she just call me a 'senpai'? I asked myself.

"We just wonder...if we can have your autographs." One of the girls shuttered, almost whispered. Then they all pulled out their notebooks and pens, and were looking at me hopefully.

"I am sorry. But I don't think the school allows to give autographs to the others." They looked at me sadly, making me feel almost guilty to refuse. Then they turned and started to walked away.

"Ma..Matte!!" I ran to catch up with the girls.

"Though I cannot give you my autographs, but I think I can give you something else." I smiled. I opened my pencil case and pulled 5 cute pencils. I gave each girl one and said.

"These pencil are my lucky pencils. I always used them when there were tests or exams, and I always got good grades. Now I am giving them to you guys so maybe these pencils can give you guys luck."

"Arigato gozaimasu Hikari-senpai! My friends will be all jealous if they know that I have your pencil!" One of the girl exclaimed happily.

"And please don't call me senpai. I am 15 like you guys. It's just that I skipped 2 class when I was young. And I don't understand why your friends will be jealous with you just because you have my pencil? I am not famous or anything!

"What are you talking about Hikari-senpai? You're not famous? You must be kidding! You, Mikan-senpai, Sakura-senpai and Tomoyo-senpai are the most popular girls in the school. The underclass students called you "the coolest and beautiest"girl. Mikan-senpai are "the social queen". Sakura-senpai are "the sweetest and kindest" and Tomoyo-senpai are "the mysteriest." We all are your fans and we know that you're leaving the school this year, so that's why we want to have your autographs before you leave." The girls exclaimed

"I knew that they called Mikan the social queen, but I didn't know Sakura, Tomoyo and myself also had a nickname too!" Hikari sighed.

"HIKA-CHAN!!!!!!!" Mikan suddenly popped out from who no where and she was running forward me.

"It's Mikan-senpai!" The girls said.

"Where have you been? Sakura, Tomoyo and I were looking for you!" Mikan complained.

"Sorry Mikan. I was talking to these girls. They wants to have my autographs. Anyway, why are you looking for me?"

"Oh we were just wondering are you ready to go home?" Mikan said happily.

"Oh yeah. I think I am ready. Let's me just say good bye to the girls" I answered.

"I guess I have to go. Good bye guys. I hope you guys have a wonderful summer and good luck on the next year!" I said to them and quickly left with Mikan.

On the way home:

"FINALLY SUMMER!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! SUMMER!!! NO MORE WAKE UP EARLY!!!!" Mikan was yelling.

"Mikan, could you please shut up! You're making everybody loooking at us like we are weirdo or something!" I said

"Oh, you are so mean, Hikari!" Mikan said as she stucked her tongue at me.

"Just let her do whatever she wants, Hikari. So do you guys have any ideas what to do for tomorrow?" Tomoyo said, also smiling.

"Oh, I think we can go to the shopping malls tomorrow. I read in the magazines that it's 50 percent off for the first week of the summer."

"Good idea, Mikan! I was planning to go shopping to because I want to buy some new jeans and shirt." Sakura said.

"I think I want to go shopping too. I need to buy some materials to make clothes, and I also want to buy a new camera!" Tomoyo agreed.

Now they are looking at me!

"Fine. I need to buy some new clothes anyway." I finally said.

"And you know what Sakura? There is a manga exhibition tomorrow. They said if you buy 3 manga, you'll get 1 free. Do you want to go there tomorrow as well. It's next to the mall." Mikan said.

"Sound good! Ok, I'll go there with you after shopping."

The next morning

1 p.m.

"Mikan you better hurry up or you will be left behind."

"Wait! I am coming!"

At the shopping mall:

After hours shopping, each of us carried at least 5 shopping bags, contained clothes, jewelries, shoes, make-ups, house supplies... I even bought the newest model mini laptop and a 60 GB white ipod ( I use my dad's bank account and his credit cards.)

"Guys I am hungry. Can we stop by somewhere and get food now?" Sakura asked as her stomach was growling.

"Sure. Why don't we stop by at McDonald to get some hamburgers and fries?" Tomoyo suggested.

"Sound good to me" Sakura smiled.

"I am hungry too. Let's go to McDonald then."

After 5 minutes, we already arrived at McDonald.

"Hey Hikari, where are all your stuffs go?" Sakura asked curiously.

"You mean the things that I bought? I put them in my packback. I am too lazy too carry a punch of bags around." I said.

"Anyway, what do you guys want to eat?" I asked.

"I want a double cheese burger with catchup" Mikan said.

"I want the same as her too!" Sakura said happily.

"Uh I want a buffalo chicken sandwich and a fry." Tomoyo said

"Ok. What about drink?"

"COKE!!" They said in chorus

"Ok I'll go order" I said. After 5 minutes, I came back with all the food that we ordered. I gave Sakura, Tomoyo and Mikan their food and then I quickly placed myself in a chair, and started to eat my spicy chicken sandwich. About 20 minutes later, we all finished with our food and drink.

"I am so full now" Sakura said while rubbing her stomach.

"Me too!" Mikan said.

"So where are we going next?" Mikan asked again.

"I don't know. I already bought everything that I planned too." I answered.

"So do I. I already bought all the materials I need, and I bought a new cam-record as well" Tomoyo said.

"Uh, if you guys already bought anything you need, can we stop by at the exhibition? I really want to buy some new manga. Just a little bit, then we'll go home. PLEASE! PLEASE! I promise that I'll just go in there about 15, 20 minutes. Can I?" Mikan begged

" I want to go there as well" Sakura sympathized.

"If they really want to go, I think we should just go and wait for them a little bit. Can you, Hikari?" Tomoyo asked. I sighed and then said:

"Fine, but please don't take too long ok? Because base on what I know, I just scare that if I let you guys go in there, we won't be able to get out after at least an hour."

"THANK YOU HIKARI! We promise that we won't take too long!" Sakura and Mikan yelled happily.

"Let's walk to there right now. " Mikan grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the sit. We got out of McDonald and started to walk to the exhibition.

"OMGOMGOMG!!!!!" Mikan exclaimed when we entered the exhibition. The exhibition is full of people and you can see everywhere is posters of anime and manga.

"Ok Mikan and Sakura, you guys have 30 minutes to buy stuffs and you guys have to come back here at 6 o'clock o..WHAT?" But Mikan and Sakura already disappeared.

"I guess we just have to wait until they came back." Tomoyo said as she was tapping my shoulder.

"Yeah probably..."

After 45 minutes

"Are you ready to go home?" Tomoyo asked, looking at the very satisfied Mikan and Sakura. Each of them was carrying about 4 bags, full of manga books, animes DVD, stickers, key chains... and in the other hand they were holding at least 5 posters each.

"YES" They answered satisfied.

"Wait a second. I need to go to rest room first" I said.

"I'll go with you" Tomoyo said.

"We'll go as well" Mikan and Sakura said.

After 10 minutes, we still could not find the rest room.

"Hey guys. Is that the rest room?" Sakura said, pointing at a dark room, and there is no sign on the door.

"Dunno, let's check!" Mikan said as she slowly opened the door.

"Damn, it's freaking dark in here! OUCH! MY FOOT!!" Mikan cried.

"Are you ok Mikan?" Tomoyo asked.

"Ha..hai, it's just hurt a little bit" Mikan answered, her voice is a little cracking.

"Mina, try to find the light switch"

"I...I think we should get out of here guys. It's too dark in here and I don't think we allow to go in here anyway." Sakura said, her voice is shaking. (Sakura is very afraid of ghost!!)

"Sakura is getting scare. We should come out right now". I thought as I turned back and planning to tell everybody to go outside. But...

"Come!" A voice suddenly appeared. "Where the heck is this voice come from?" I thought confusingly.

"Come here. Come to me!" The voice began to raise again.

"Hey Mikan. Did you hear that voice?" I asked Mikan, who was standing right next to me.

"H...hai" Mikan stuttered back.

"Mina, let't get out of here! This place is scary!" Sakura cried, holding Tomoyo's hand tightly.

"Wait!"I tried my best to focus and find out where was it come from. "It came from inside." I thought and I began to walk in.

"Where are you going Hikari?" Mikan yelled behind, but I ignored her and kept going.

"Mata-kun" She sighed then began to walk faster to catch up with me.

"Hikari! Mikan! Wait for us! Let's catch up with them!" Tomoyo said as she grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her along with her.

I kept going deeper and deeper inside the room. When I reached the end, the voice stopped. I stared at the wall weirdly. Why's the voice stopped so suddenly?. Wait a minute, there is something hanging on the wall. I tried to feel the thing with my fingers.

"I suddenly have a very strange feeling. What was it?"

"Hikari, this is kind of look like a picture" Mikan also said after checking the thing side to side.

"What are you guys doing, hugging the wall?" Tomoyo and Sakura asked behind us. They stepped forward and now Sakura and Tomoyo were right beside me and Mikan. They also were checking the wall as well.

"Guys, it's just a picture. And why are you guys keep staring at it? It's too dark, we can't even see what is it look like. Beside, I think we should get out of here right now. If the security guards come, we're in big trou... WHAT?" When Sakura's and Tomoyo's hand touched the picture, a silver light glowed and brighten everything. We all gapsed when we looked at the picture.

"IT'S SHAMAN KING" Mikan exclaimed. "OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I COULD FOUND SUCH A FANTASTIC PICTURE OF THIS MANGA HERE!! MY FRIENDS GONNA BE ALL JEALOUS!!"

"Shaman King? What the heck is it?" We all said in chorus and was looking at Mikan annoyingly.

"Sakura, don't you rememeber about it. I've told you before about Shaman King. It's one of the most popular manga right now in Japan and Shaman King is the best-seller book in this week. I've plan to save money and buy the all series of it." But before Mikan could finish her sentence, the silver light suddenly expanded. It became brighter and brighter every second.

"My eyes!" Mikan said as she used one of her hand to cover her eyes. And before we could think of anything, we found ourself were embrace by the silver light and slowly pulling into the picture.

"WHAT THE HECK!"

"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE?"

"WE'RE PULLING INTO THAT PICTURE!"

"SOMEBODY HELP!!!" We yelled, but it's no use. All of us have been pulling deeper and deeper into the picture. About half of my body have been pullling into the picture. The silver light was getting dimmer and smaller as the same time.

And when the silver light completely disappear, the four of us disappeared along with it.

And the new adventure had begin.
