"You sure you're alright?" My friend Nina asked with a worried expression etched on her face.

I yawned and nodded, thanks to the strangers on my roof I didn't get any sleep at all last night and I'm a bit worried for my Mum. During breakfast this morning she looked really emotional, she acted like it as well. Before I went to school this morning she pulled me into a hug saying that she loved me no matter what and that she'll try her best to come back. I'm pretty sure she didn't mean like she was going to ditch me like Dad did, why should she? It's not like I've got anywhere else to go so she probably meant some business trip to a nice place like Miami or something.

"So where to now?" Lexi asked her blonde and black dyed hair tied up in a high ponytail. "H&M? Forever 21? C'mon people I need names!"

"Uh... I don't know." I said as I sipped on my Berry Treasure that Lex promised me. "Typo?"

"To Typo we go then!" She declared as she made a beeline to that store.

Nina and I followed her into the shop where we looked at the cards that they had meanwhile Lex tried out all the pens.

"But seriously are you okay? You've been pretty quite today." Nina continued to badger on.

"Guess I'm not much in a talking mood today." I said with a shrug.

"But it's Friday!"

"And I'm me!" I replied trying to stifle another yawn.

"Quite and tired." Nina observed. "How many times do I have to tell you that you need to stop staying up doing your projects?"

"None because I'll still do them anyways. Plus it's not entirely my fault that I'm tired."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really. You see I went to bed at 11 but I couldn't go to sleep and these people kept making a racket upstairs." I explained to her as I took one of the cards.

"But Kay, you live on the top floor! There is NO upstairs."

"I believe the roof counts as an upstairs."

"People were on the roof?"

"Yes, I went upstairs on the roof to ask if the people could quieten down a bit and I guess one of them had a smoke device because next the thing I knew smoke was in front of me. Then they disappeared once the smoke cleared."

"Seriously?" She asked looking like she didn't believe it. "I think you were training too hard last night."

"I was not! I swear it happened!" I defended.

"Don't tell me you think they were ninjas."

"Guess it's possible, I mean there was that News Report where they found that star."

"No Kay, no. Just no."

"What you have something against ninjas? "

"No." Nina said as she picked up a pen and scribbled it on some paper. "I just find it... Silly. People dress up in a black cloth, jumping around screaming strange stuff while throwing toys around."

"Eh it's still a possibility." I countered picking up another card and chose some pens. We then paid for our stuff and headed over to the noodle shop near downtown. It's own by Mr. Murikami who may be blind but can cook a wicked fried rice as well as other foods. He even invented this pizza gyoza which is pretty much food sent from the land above.

We entered the noodle shop to be hit by the gorgeous smell of food being cooked. It was surprisingly not busy, there was only about three others besides Lexi, Nina and I. We grabbed a seat at the counter a bit away from those strangers and talked amongst ourselves as we wait for Mr. Murikami to come out of the kitchen.

5 minutes past, then 10. When 30 minutes had past the noodle shop was much more fuller then it was before, full of men wearing dark jackets and trench coats with beanies and sunglasses meanwhile Mr. Murikami was still a no show. Finally I got up from my stool.

"Guys, I'm going to check if Mr. Murikami is alright." I announced to my friends.

"I'm sure he's fine." Nina reassured me.

"There's nothing wrong with checking." I said as I went into the white, steamy, kitchen. I looked around and saw that the stove was left on, burning the gyozas that were left there to cook. I turned it off and looked around the small kitchen trying to spot Mr. Murikami but there was no sign of him.

I checked everywhere in the kitchen for him, but still no noodle man.

I felt an unpleasant feeling in my stomach as I looked through the small window on the door into the shop where my friends and those men were. Something didn't feel right.

Wanting to go back outside and tell my friends we should leave I pushed against the door to find it locked. I attempted again and again hoping that it was just a little bit rusty but my hopes were crushed after my third go.

Somebody knocked on the window causing me to look up. It was a beefy looking man who had long blonde hair which was tied up in a plait and had bright hazel eyes that almost appeared to be red. Hun.

He grinned at me shaking the keys in front of the window to show that I am locked in. I banged on the door frantically wanting to grab my friends's attention but they seemed completely oblivious causing Hun to bark out a laugh. I glared at him wondering why the hell he locked me in here. I know it's not for payback because I didn't even do anything. Infact I don't remember the last time that I actually tangled with the Purple Dragons.

I turned from the door and looked back at the kitchen wondering if there was anything I can use to pick the lock. Nothing. I out my hand to my hair thinking that I had put in some bobby pins this morning but then I remembered I didn't, dropping my hand to my side.

Before I could think of a plan Hun knocked on the door again alerting me to the outside. Curious I looked out and saw the men advancing towards my friends who were now not speaking and were looking around for me. They spotted me and I screamed for them to get out before Hun could have any of his fun. But my screams turned out to be fruitless as one of the purple dragons tied them up with duct tape. Obviously they tried to fight back but well you can't do much when your surrounded by a bunch of gang members.

Desperately wanting to aid my friends I threw my whole body weight on to the door hoping it would open while Hun watched me with amusement written across his face. He then held up a container that was filled with what I think is gasoline and grinned a shark like grin at me as he opened it and spilt across the whole shop. His goons threw Lex and Ni at the door making them go unconscious and then proceeded to go outside before Hun dropped a lit match on the gasoline causing the noodle shop to burn.

The smoke started to thicken and before I knew it I was having some trouble breathing, I looked around the kitchen feeling desperate. I have to get out of here and get my friends our of harms way! But there was nothing I can do and nothing I can use. So with this painful thought in mind I stared out of the small window hoping to spot a silhouette of someone but then I realize that by the time someone comes in here the whole shop would most likely be burnt down only with the three of us. We will all be dead. We won't be able to make it to graduation, we'll never get married, we'll never grow old together and annoy the next generation like we had planned we'll never-

The door opened causing the smoke to enter the kitchen. I coughed a bit more rapidly and looked up to see who unlocked my prison, but I could only see the silhouette of him. But he looked familiar, I think he was one of the five from last night.

"Don't worry I'll get you out of here." Said the silhouette. He put and arm around me and guide me to the outside.

"Wait my friends." I said my voice sounding hoarse and dry.

"Don't worry my brothers will get them." The figure confirmed as we step out into the night.

I stood there taking in large gulps of the beautiful oxygen. "Thank- " I started but then stop myself. He wasn't there anymore. I turned around and saw Lex and Ni sitting up, free from the duct tape and was unharmed apart from several bruises.

I looked back at the burning noodle shop thinking of my savior.
