This is my first Fanfic, so please be nice. I just started watching the GetBackers series and I fell in love right away with all the characters. Not much romance though I am still only on volume five. I changed the story a little bit, and might add some characters as the story progresses. I hope you like it!

Where I Belong

Sitting alone in the bed, Natsumi looked longingly through the window of her bedroom. Oh, how she wished she could go outside…She's never been outside of this cursed house. Never attended school since the 6th grade. Never had any friends except her mother. Never felt the sun's rays against her skin without the tinted glass windows. Never feeling the wind blow against her face, while her long navy hair flying out of control. She was like a bird trapped in a cage, desperately trying to fly away to the outside world.

Natsumi was lonely, empty and scared…yet she felt hope, even through all the bad times. Her dreams are what give her hope, the only reason she is still fighting and living on. She dreams of people, who possess talents and powers that are similar to her own. Though she is seeing them from another person's point of view, she felt the boy's experiences as if they were her own. She doesn't know his name. She doesn't know what he looks like or how he sounds, for in her dreams she can't hear what they are saying, but judge them by their actions, or how he would feel. She doesn't even know how old he is, but she assumes he's just a little bit older than her 17 years. But…she does know that he is a good and kind person. She knows that he is the kind of friend who you can trust and confide in. And she knows that the people in her dreams all feel that they are different from everyone else and yet, their place is here on earth for a specific reason. And most of all, she knows, in her heart…that these people are real and she will meet them one day…

"Natsumi!" yelled a voice downstairs followed by the slamming of a door. Natsumi winced for she knew what's coming next. As she hurried out of her bed and down the stairs, she mentally prayed he would be in a lighter mood then yesterday. Right before she reached the last step, she was pushed from the side, causing her to fly to the wall beside her. She slowly got up on shaky knees while rubbing her upper arm. "Y-yes father?" she asked, still with her head bowed a little, not meeting his eyes. For a moment he didn't say anything just stared at her and then he suddenly broke into a malicious grin.

"We're having company tonight. Prepare a special dinner for our guest." Natsumi's fear heightened. "A guest?" she said out loud, more to herself than her father. They never had any company before. Why now? And who?

"I don't know if you remember him, you both only met once and that was when you were only 5 and he 10, but he sure does remember you. I bumped into him at the store, well, I bumped into him. It seems he has been looking for you since we moved away from our home town."

Natsumi slowly came to realize that he might be talking about him which she sincerely hoped he isn't. She didn't want to meet the person who scares her more than her father. "Who?" she asked coarsely.

Her dad smiled again. "Why your brother, Takashi of course. Haven't seen him in years," her father stated.

As her father kept talking about Takashi, she was trying so hard not to bolt and lock herself up in her bedroom for that is her only sanctuary. She remembered him alright. How could she forget? How could she forget his beautiful blackish blue hair that gleamed brightly in the sun, his charming smile…and his cold bottomless grey eyes. She could already feel the hair on the back of her neck rising already. He scarred her for life. He was the reason she had to keep the door locked. He was the reason she had to have the lights on when she slept. He was the reason why she had agreed to move with her father, even though she didn't want to. He was the reason why she hated her powers. If she her powers can't work on him, what's the use of having the power when she can't even use it to protect herself from the one who can do her harm? The only power that helped her was the barrier that she created that prevented him from tracking her, a new power she recently discovered. But it seems it didn't work for he sure has found her now. 'What on earth was she going to do?' she asked herself.

As Natsumi reluctantly finished preparing the dinner, the doorbell rang. She started to panic for she still hasn't made a plan on how she was going to escape this "reunion". When she heard her father call out for her to greet her brother she couldn't stop the shivers racking through her body as she willed herself to walk to the dining room. Stopping at the doorway to the room, she glanced up to find a tall man right in front of her. "It's been a long time…Natsumi."

Takashi had waited forever to reunite with his beloved sister and now that he has, he was overjoyed, more so because Natsumi bloomed into a vision. With her below the waist length dark hair, her large bluish grey eyes and petite slim body, she is every man's dream girl. His dream girl. It took him forever to track her down. He tried using his psychic powers to find her but for some reason, it was blocked. He assumed Natsumi found a way to block him out. But then, he did a little of old-fashion detective work and finally found her. He was going to do everything in his power to keep her by his side.

Throughout dinner, Natsumi never said a word, while Takashi and her father chatted idly. But she could tell when Takashi glanced her way for she felt his stare as if cold water just poured over her body, the hairs on her arms and the back of her neck raise and a little chill would go through her. She had to think fast before everyone retires to bed. She had a feeling that he would be staying a while if she didn't do anything. She also had an inkling that something bad is going to happen, though she wasn't sure if it was she who's in danger…or someone else.

When dinner was over, her father commanded her that she go upstairs to her room. She didn't hesitate and hurriedly went to her room and locked the door. Now was her chance to think up of a plan to escape while she started packed her knapsack with necessities.

Still in the dining room, Takashi finally voiced his reason for searching his sister out to his father. "I want to take Natsumi back home to Tokyo, with me of course."

His father didn't say anything for a moment and kept twirling the scotch in his cup. "So, that's why you want her huh?" he asked with a speculative glance in his son's direction. "I admit, she is a beautiful girl to want, but with her unusual abilities, why would you want such a freak?" He emphasized the "freak".

Takashi smiled. 'So, he still doesn't know that I am a "freak" as well…' "I love my sister and I want her by my side. She will die if she is kept indoors, a prisoner of your house. She needs to be free. She is so pale that I fear she was a dead corpse," Takashi argued.

"Even if she were to be free and outside of my care, she will definitely die. If she even lays a finger or a hair on her head outside of this house, she will die. Mark my words Takashi. I cursed her and until the day I die, she won't be able to leave. She is a disgrace to my family. It's probably that wretched mother's gene to cause her to become what she is. I can't have her exposing her freakish abilities in public or else I would cause a scandal for me. I can't have that."

Takashi's head was down when he said all that and laughed inwardly. No it wasn't Natsumi's mother who caused her to be a witch…it was his own genes. He slowly raised his head to look at his father, his eyes glaring red. "Then…die…" he said softly but menacing. His father gasped and felt an invisible force clasping around his throat, cutting his air supply. He tried to say how it was possible…for Takashi was sitting calmly at his chair; eye's still glowing doing nothing. Soon, his face was losing color and his grips on the invisible hands were loosening. His eyes started to roll back and finally he collapsed and fell down to the floor.

Takashi slowly got up with a smile on his face. He stopped by the body of his father and looked down. "I think I will tell her the good news, that she can finally leave this damned house." He proceeded to the stairs, whistling happily.

Natsumi knew the instant that her father dropped to the floor. She felt his presence leave and she knew that she could now leave the house. With everything packed and ready she didn't make the mistake of hesitating. She went straight for the window, climbed out and ran as fast as she could, not even trying to glance around to see where she was going. She came to the main street in no time and waved her hand in the air. A taxi came in a second and she got in. She knew where she wanted to go. She's going to find the people in her dream and her instincts tell her that she will be going to Shinjuku.
