Chapter 1

It was June, and like every summer is was going to my Grandma's house. I'm Kyros Hiragachi, I'm 15 years old and I have a younger sister named Tuemmi. She's five which was the age I was when I stared to come to Grandma's for the summer. It was also the first and last time I saw my grandpa. I don't know much about him but I do know he was some one 'powerful' as my grandma puts it. He died of some dieses usually found in dogs. Yeah it is pretty weird but that's all my grandma told me.

"Kyros! Tuemmi! How are my gand kids?" My grandma greeted us with a hug and a kiss on the forehead. She lead us up to are room while asking a million questions. I didn't answer any of them because I saw to bust staring out the long line of windows that stood right above the stairs. I stopped following her to stare out into the deep blue sky. For some reason the shed near the garden was nailed up with many pieces of wood. My grandma forbid us to ever go in there, she says it to dangerous and has been meaning to have torn down but always forgets to.

"Are you coming, Kyros?"my grandma yelled.

"Yeah." I took one last glance out the window then dragged my bags into the bedroom.

"Oh Kyros I forgot to tell you, I made you your own bedroom on the lower floor." My grandma said with a smile.

"But gama, I want Kyyo to stay in here." Tuemmi whined grabbing grandmas hand. Tuemmi always forgets how to say my name, but can you blame her? She's five.

"No, she is to old to share a room with you that's why I painted this room pink, jut for you." she said pointing to the walls.

"Yay pink." Tuemmi turned me around and pushed me out of the room. "My room!"

"Ok Tuemmi you can put your toys were you want. I'm going to show your sister her room." We walked down the hall and down the stairs. She opened the door to what was my room. It was painted red and the trim was black, my two favorite colors. "So, do you like it?"

"Like it," I plopped on the bed, "I love it."

"Well rest up you've got a lot of exploring tomorrow." Grandma walked out of the room and shut the door.

Right above the my bed was a window. Outside the window was the shed. I stared for awhile trying to figure out why I couldn't go in. Oh well I'll check it out tomorrow. I laid down for a minute or two then I herd my grandma telling a story to Tuemmi. I went up stairs and listened in.

"He had long silver hair, dog ears, and a bad temper but something told me deep down he wasn't bad. He jut needed love and friendship. So, I became his friend and we went on many journeys searching for the sacred jewel." My grandma continued but, when I heard her say sacred jewel I clutched my necklace. My grandpa gave me the necklace just before he past away. The neck lace was a pink shard in a glass bottle. I ran down stairs thinking about that story. It sounded so familiar , then as I laid in bed I remembered, it was the same story my grandma told me. I drifted to sleep.
