A loud clasp of thunder rang through the air. Rain began to fall; light at first, then it gradually picked up. A young man in a black trench coat holding an umbrella walks up to the 21st century style pawn shop window. He stares inside the window to see six different sized televisions all on the same news channel. The man working at the news desk began his report on the weather. " Today's' forecast is...well...rainy, the humidity is 100 and the temperature for today is 12 degrees Celsius to -----".
He was interrupted by a camera operator, The operator gave him a sheet of paper. The news caster scrutinized the sheet. " This just in... ", said the news caster."
A small crowd began to form around the pawn shop window. The rain continued to fall heavily. " This just in, Earlier today there was a bombing outside Tokyo, in the city of Yokohama. Estimated death count range is between 700 and 850 people. We'll have more on this story later on. Now back to the weather."
The televisions turned off automatically, causing the people to disperse. Only one little girl stood by the window. This little girl was born in Tokyo. She is now five years old. Her favorite thing in the whole world is her stuffed brown bear. She always keeps her bear by her side. Her hair is black and long, as black as the pupils of Lucifer's eyes himself. She wore a small blue raincoat that matched her hat. Her name is Soshi. Soshi slowly walked up to the pawn shop window. Because she was small, she tip toed and then held onto the window sill, still holding the Teddy bear. She pressed her rosy red nose up to the window, creating a small print of her nose from the natural oil that's on her face. Still looking through the glass window, the six televisions that somehow turned off, now turned on unexpectedly. Images of people in fire, screaming for their lives and people being ripped apart by an unknown force showed on the size screens. Soshi stared wide eyed, now paralyzed. More flashed of people infested with nuclear viruses, seemingly melting on the screen. Soshi's mind raced. The teddy bear she was holding slowly fell to the ground. Images still flashed on the screens. In the near distance a car screeched to a halt and a sound of two mid-sized cars crashing followed. Soshi turned around only to be snatched by a figure from a shadow. She didn't scream; she couldn't scream due to the images still flashing as she closed her eyes. The six televisions turned off once again.
A Stream of sunlight peers through sasaku's window. It's been a few days now since saragui went missing. After yawning, sasaku stood from her bed; which was made by her grandfather Leon, who is a carpenter. " How long was i dozing off?", asked sasaku to herself.
She turns to the direction of her clock; which os on her dresser which was also made by Leon. The clock read 7:32 PM. It's been over four hours".
Sasaku quickly stood up and began to try to get wrinkles out of her school uniform that she was too tired t change out of. She then goes over to the window and stares out into space. All that she heard was birds singing their sweet melody and the soft sound of a ambulance in the near distance. She then closes the window and heads downstairs. Downstairs was quiet and Sasaku's mother was sleeping on the leather couch in the living room. Being as quiet as possible, sasaku entered the kitchen. As she entered the kitchen, a clasp of thunder startled sasaku. She then grabbed a notepad off the fridge and began to write: I'll be back before 9. Love Sasaku. After she finished writing, she put the note pad on the table that was behind her. sasaku then went to the door, she grabbed her jacket off the hat rack. She had a horrible habit of leaving things in places they didn't belong. She puts on her shoes carefully and then ties them. Slowly she opens the door to be greeted by the stinging feeling of the rain. The rain began to fall faster. She then took a breath and began to walk to Saragui's house.
Moments later she arrived at her destination. She then walked through the holographic tape creating a broken image of the words " Crime Scene". The front door was partially open and it seemed inviting with it's faint glow peering outside. She then wondered why the lights were on and the door was open. Sasaku walked into the house and without saying another word, she began to look around.
