~Light~

"Asa-Chan" Her mother calls, her voice a light to waken her each morning.

「起きる時間.」"Time to wake up."

And she does, because she loves the morning, she's named after the morning, and so she should be happy to greet it.

And she is.

Her life for the most part, was like that, very simple and ordinary.

She had wanted it to stay that way.

But fate was just that cruel, and kind, that it refused to let her be.

Really though, her life might've stayed as it was, if it wasn't for Hisa, bursting through her small homes front door that average morning, with tears streaming down her face.

「何か問題でもありますか?」"What is the matter?" She remembers hearing her mother murmur, from the other room, as she hustled the girl quickly into the Women's Room of the house.

"My father… is gone.'

"To war?" She mutters as she sits up on her straw mat, too sleepy and young then, to understand her meaning.

"He's dead.'

Yes, it was definitely then, that her fate shifted and focused, to center around Yatamo Hisa, a girl that would ultimately save and ruin her, for all of eternity.
