Chapter One:
This beginning is really interesting. It's the first anime-style story I've written and it's kind of amazing how well I did for the first try. It's kind of like a spoof off of Card Captors but I had to get my ideas from something. It won't be completely like CCS.
This is the story of the girl who wanted to be special, and got her wish. It wasn't really what she expected, only because she didn't know what she sincerely wanted. It all started when she was 15 years young. This was the year she knew she wanted to be different. The day of her birthday was that fateful one when everything changed. As most know how it goes; She wished before blowing out the candles and nothing much had happened, until the next morning. She awoke to go to school no knowing that today would be out of the ordinary for her. She felt it was only polite to dress in the new clothes she received from her parents for her birthday. She gracefully slipped on the baby-blue blouse and stepped into her new black mini skirt. Then she looked at herself in the full-sized mirror on her door and thought, "Today will be a good day. I love these new clothes, they are so cute!"
*~*~*~*
RING!!! "OK class. Today we'll be working out side on the field in pairs to continue our sessions of social consideration." Kina's teacher, who was tall and so very favored by all of the students, ushered the class to proceed to the grass field outside. Kina walked along with her friends heading out to the field. "KINA!! KINA!" shouted a boy behind a group of students who were also walking as part of the class. Kina turned and looked to see whom it was who was yelling at her. It was her good friend, Jamie. She'd known him since they were both toddlers and she trusted him with all of her secrets. Kina waited for her friend to catch up to her so that they could talk a while and work as partners. "Hey, I see you're wearing the new clothes from your birthday. They look nice, just like you." Kina blushed at the sweet remark from her friend, for she not only thought of Jamie as a friend, but also very fondly as what some people would call a crush.
"Thanks. You look good today as well. Do you know why Mr. Satsuma is having us work outside today?" Jamie looked at the adolescent beauty walking next to him and wondered, 'Does she care for me as much as I do her? Is that why she's giving me this compliment? If only I could tell her how much I love her.' His thoughts were interrupted by Kina asking why he hadn't said anything. "Oh, sorry, I was lost in my thoughts again. No, I don't know why we're working outside today, but it's a great day to be out."
"Your always spacing out when I say something nice to you. What's going on Jamie? Is there something you need to tell me?" Shocked by her remark, he was speechless in response for it seemed that she was reading his mind. "No, no, it's nothing, I'm just a little awed by your loveliness ms.newly-15-years-young."
"OK class, pair up and find a spot to work at." Kina and Jamie walked over to a shaded spot under a tree, while everyone else sat in the middle of the field sparsely spread. Kina leaned back on the tree's trunk and looked up into the sky dreamingly. Jamie looked over at her and once again got lost in his thoughts of the lovely girl, 'Wow, she is so beautiful, I wonder what she's thinking about looking at the sky like that.' "So uh, what were we supposed to do out here anyways" asked the boy.
"Oh-uh, I think we're just supposed to talk. You know, these are the fun lessons where we just get to chat and hang out with our friends. As practice for social events and stuff. It's really just the teacher's excuse to give the students free time." Jamie stuttered as he suddenly remembered he was the one who came up with that theory. Kina giggled and smiled at the boy sitting next to her.
*~*~*~*
"Hey Rini!" shouted Kina as she slammed her locker closed and slung her backpack onto her shoulder. "What's up Kina? How was your party last night?"
"Oh it was fine. My parents gave me these new clothes, do you think they're cute?" Kina spun around playishly to show her friend her outfit. "Oh my gosh, I was going to ask you about those! That ensemble is so cute! So how does it feel to be 15 finally?" said the young eager girl examining the clothes on her companion. "Come on Kina, let's go home. It's been such a long day, I have so much to tell you."
"Yeah, I've got some stuff to ask you about"
The two girls talked as they walked toward their neighborhood.
~A while later at the Gate of the Sakura Housing Development~
"Wow. He actually said all of that stuff to you? It really sounds like he likes you Kina. Did you ever ask him about it?" Kina had told Rini all about her conversation with Jamie. "Yeah, and the whole day he was acting weird. It seemed like something had changed between us overnight. He was really scaring me"
Suddenly it began to rain a curious iridescent liquid and the two girls looked at each other is fright. What was going on? What was this curious rain? And where did it come from? "What's going on Kina?!"
"I don't know but I think we'd better get out of here." The two girls ran to Kina's house in fear of what was happening at the gate. When they finally got to her house they slammed the door and jetted up to the 15-year-young's bedroom, both panting from their furious sprint through the private streets.

~Somewhere out in the universe that we humans don't know of~
"The girl is frightened by our mystique signs of arrival, is she really the one who should receive the powers of the celestial crystal? They are very delicate, and only fit for-" Misato was interrupted by her master. "The chosen one. Do not question my knowledge of the prophecies Misato. She is the chosen one and she will come to us willingly when it is time. She is special."
"Gomen nasai master. I did not mean to criticize your orders. I was only concerned of the reaction of this mortal. She does not seem the type to have such gifts and powers as we have chosen her to receive." Misato, an angelic being bound to protecting the celestial crystal, apologized to her master.
"Granted, I see that you are worried about the crystal, but you must learn to trust me. I trust that you remember the crystal will only accept a worthy master." The two mysticle beings watched their chosen one through the small orb in front of them.
*~*~*~*
"That was so freaky. Do you think we should wash off the weird liquid? It doesn't look like anything happened really, it was just out of the ordinary." Kina and Rini were both worried but not sure of much else after their odd experience. "Well it seems to have slipped off of us when we were running, so I guess we just have to somehow not worry about it."
"I really hope your right" I'm really freaked out right now. Rini, if we're wrong about what just happened, I don't even want to think about it more."
"Really Kina, let's just try to forget about it, we can't do anything about it and when we do think about it we only get more worried. So let's just get back to what we were going to do in the first place." Kina got up from her tired position on the floor and walked over to her desk to show her friend the pictures she had drawn in her new sketchbook. She opened the thick book of blank pages to a picture of an inspired character of a heavenly sort.
"Wow Kina, this is a great picture! I wish I could draw like that. Where do you come up with these characters? They are so beautiful." Rini gazed at the many pictures her friend had drawn in awe of the girl's skills with a pencil. "You've always found great inspiration, but I never knew where. Tell me, what's your secret Kina?"
Mmm, I don't really have a secret. I just draw what's in my head when I feel the urge to. I don't even know how it started, just one day, I picked up a pencil and drew this elegant woman in a dress. I don't even know I how I did it. Something inside of me lead me to draw. It was a bit awkward when I looked at what I drew. At first I thought it was ridiculous, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if there really are other people in the Universe." Kina gazed out the window at the blue sky, which she thought was so beautiful and so far off.
