My Very Own Mamodo
Prolouge: The Meeting
I hurried down the road. Those creepy stalker girls were after me again, so I had to go fast if I wanted to be seen alive again. Okay, it's not that bad, but I know I'd be scarred for life.
"GET BACK HERE!"
That was a sign to MOVE IT. I crashed into a run and I heard footsteps behind me. Sweat stung my eyes as I ran. I didn't know where I was going, but I wasn't going to stop until I escaped… or until I was caught. 'Hurry faster feet…'
THUD!
I fell. Oh cr—uddy monkeys! Stumbling to get back up, I realized I had reached a dead end anyway… and I was at a graveyard. Not to mention this would be a sucky place to be beaten, I found my legs had locked. OF ALL TIMES!
"Finally, we found you…" one of the girls said sneering. The rest of them laughed and I felt my heart stop cold. No, not literally. I reached for something to protect myself with and felt something behind me. It was square—when I looked, it was a book. Suddenly, light flashed around and red eyes were popping up all over the place.
You're my partner? You gotta be kidding.
"I'm sorry," I said instantly. It was a habit of mine. I heard slight chuckling from behind me and when I looked, I gasped. A knife.
'They're gonna kill me?'
Would seem so… do you promise to be stronger?
'Will doing what you tell me kill me too?'
Depends… pick up the book and read it.
The girls came closer and I hesitantly took the book. The girls laughed again as they saw me with the yellow book in my hands. They pulled on my hair and I knew they were going to cut it off… or cut a few scars on my face. Why were they after me? The hottest guy in school happens to be my best (and only) friend and I hang out with him. That isn't a crime… is it?
READ IT ALOUD!
I quickly opened the book and read the first word aloud. "AN'KAR!"
Suddenly, ravens appeared, their red eyes glaring at the girls. They backed away from me, seeing the birds nearby. I held the book close in fear. There was silence as the birds swooped down to the girls… then I looked away. I heard screaming, then silence.
'I suppose it wasn't too horrible.'
Looking beside me, I saw a young boy with bright green eyes and black hair. He wore what looked like a large black cloth with two holes cut in the side for his arms and a small bell around his neck that jingled softly as he walked. His eyes were… strange, but I smiled at him. "Did they… go away?"
'Look for yourself.'
I looked back, and all that was left was the knife. My eyes dimmed. "I didn't… kill them, did I?"
'No, they only pecked out tuffs of their hair and put a few rough bruises on their faces,' he replied. Then he looked to me and smirked. 'I figured you wouldn't it if you killed them.'
"Oh," I started. Bowing to the young boy, I said, "T-thank you so much… for your assistance!"
'Man, who says that anymore?' he commented, slapping his head. I saw the small smile he had. 'Anyway, my name's Kanta. What's yours?'
"Ahh, I'm… I'm Natsuki."
'Your real name would help.'
"I don't like it… and I don't use it here in Japan."
'C'mon…'
"My name is Sammy…" I replied hesitantly. He shook his black hair and walked ahead. I cocked my head to the side when he stopped as if he were waiting for me.
'We're partners now, aren't we?'
"But how will I explain to my parents—"
'I'm sure they'll understand.'
"Ahh… okay!" I answered happily. We walked side-by-side as I took him home. And he was right, my parents somehow did understand. Of course they were my real parents, they came with me on this trip to Japan. Actually, we're living here for a few years—then we're going to Korea. And you know what else?
Those girls stopped bothering me.

Author's Notes: Lately, I've been obsessed with Zatch Bell! Zatch is SOOOO adorable! (although I have been missing episodes because I'm watching Dr. Phil at the same time... dont' ask why I watch it.) Anyway, I finally found a site where I can fix my spelling errors (with names and etc.) Actually, I've taken a liking to Hyde. He's a cute little Mamodo, just like Kanta-kun!
Either way it's still cheese,
Sammy
note I'm giving thanks to ShineSpirit because you've been pointing out my mistakes. (Man, I AMa new writer! LOL) You even helped me with the name, so thanks again!
