Prologue

"We're in the beautiful Caribbean, eating beautiful food, surrounded by beautiful people. Why in the world are you looking like kool-aid has become non-existent?" the girl turned to her comrade with an apprehensive expression on her face. She almost did not want to hear the answer to her question. It WAS her idea after all, to visit the islands, so why should she be acting like this? Something was up. Besides, the thought of kool-aid no longer existing was bad in itself.

The girl's remark made her laugh a little before she replied. "You were the first friend I met when I arrived in Japan, and the best friend I've ever had in my whole life. You know I wouldn't keep anything from you or harm you.on purpose."

Just as she was about to let her concerned friend know what was bothering her, a young man of twenty-one and Asian decent stood right in front of her beach chair.

"I believe this belongs to you. I saw you leave it at the bar about half an hour ago, and I've been looking for you ever since." He smiled, and what a charming smile it was.

"OH! Thank you very much." She returned the stunning smile with a lovely smile of her own. "That was very sweet of you"

"I'm Joshua Tsukagami, by the way. Maybe I'll see you again Miss." he turned to walk away.

"Quitter" she mumbled under her breath.

He stopped and looked at her under his eyelashes. "What did you just call me?"

"Nothing, nothing at all" his glare sent a chill sensation down her spine.

"You called me a quitter."

"Well, if you know what I said why ask?" she attempted to hide the fact that the look he was giving her made her want to dig a hole and bury herself alive.

"You have a point. You will find out soon enough, I never quit." and with that, he was gone.

"Damn, he was a quite the cutie, wasn't he? Did you see the way he was looking at you? You should've gotten his number. I wonder what he meant by 'I never quit'. "

"Yeah, he was past good-looking. I'm kinda baffled by what he said myself. But like he said, I'll find out soon enough."

"Anyway, back to our earlier conversation. What DID you mean earlier about harming me?" Her question quickly took her companion back to her previous state of being.

"You know what? You're right. We're in the Caribbean surrounded by beautiful people, like we just witnessed. Let's enjoy ourselves."

She knew her friend was hiding something, but she decided not to interrogate her any further.

Hey there! My prologue is up, what did you think? You can probably figure out who everyone is, and if you've seen the movie, you probably already know who Joshua is. I think I may have over done things a little bit, like the 'friend' 'companion' thing, but at the same time, I think it reads a little better if no names are given out. Well, hopefully the both of you guys reading this will review. Lol. I accept both good and bad reviews as long as it constructive criticism. The first chapter should be up within the week. Love,
