This Is How It Started Chapter 1:

-Being in Japan for real is so cool- Ericka thought as she walked down the block going towards they're hotel. She was looking at a booklet for tourists when she hit something and fell backwards.
"Oh, sorry about that I wasn't watching where I was going, "she said looking up.She had bumped into a long black haired man with violet/blue eyes, who to her had a strange taste for clothing.-He looks like he's ready for Halloween in that outfit- she thought as the man walked away. "Geeze he could've at least said 'it's ok 'or ' that's alright', at least something," Ericka said to herself as she walked inside the hotel.-Well at least my Birthday is something to look forward to.
"Happy early b-day sis," said Alex as he wrapped his arms around his sister, squeezing as hard as he could, which wasn't very hard at all.
"Yeah happy birthday," Said Crissy Ericka's Little sister.
For the rest of the day Ericka and her family celebrated Ericka's 13th birthday unaware that they were being watched.

"Are you ready Karasu?" said Sakyo through a mobile phone.
"Of Course," said Karasu while watching Ericka's family celebrate. –Now we will see if that Toguro's theory is correct- he thought jumping out of his hiding spot and into an open window on the floor beneath Ericka's room.As he entered the occupants screamed as they saw him.
"Pathetic Humans," Karasu muttered before setting off a few small explosions, and leaving the room.

"Did you hear that?"asked Ericka's father hearing a noise outside.
"I know I did,"said Alex and Crissy in unison.
"What do you think it was?" asked her mother.
"I'm not sure,"Ericka said looking at the door.That was when she noticed the smoke as well as new screams.
"AHHHHHHHH THERE'S A FIRE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES,"screamed a person outside.
They all got up and headed out the door and into the hall."Do you think it was the noises from earlie?" asked Alex.
"More than likely the noises from earlier were explosion,"her father stated.
"Oh My God!" Ericka screamed as she looked at the hallway in front of them. The stairs were emitting smoke and the fire had them and all the others who had made it to their floor surrounded.
"WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"shouted the people around them."THERE'S NO HOPE FOR US!"some yelled.
-That's weird the flames are moving closer to us as if they know we're here-Ericka thought. The flames moved along the walls as though dancing. The gold/red glow engulfed the hallway and closed in on it's prey.

-Pitiful humans not one of them trying to escape.None of them calm enough to jump out a window or go through the falmes.-Karasu thought as he watched the chaos below.-The only calm one is that girl. The one Toguro said was a demon, though I see nothing special about her. She is just a normal human and like the rest she will be painfully burned alive. The best type of death is always a painful one, atleast for enemies- he thought falling gracefully out of the tree towards the rear of the building where a man waited in the shadows.
"Well done Karasu. You've accomplished your mission. I will be waiting for your return at HQ," walking away from the burning building as though there was no fire, and it was a completly normal day..

"Stay together and stay away from the flames,"said Ericka's father huddleing them all closer. –How are we going to get out of this? – he thought. As the smoke slowly engulfed the room.
