Meiko sat quietly in the corner of the room. Somehow after being attacked by the crazy sister of Roy, she had snuck onto a plane unseen. The cargo hold, where she was now was filled with crates with unknown items inside them. From them came a sweet smell that tickled Meiko's nose. The cold, metal walls creaked with every movement of the plane, as it flew through strange new lands the Meiko had never been to before. By now the gunshot wounds on her body had healed, but the pain from her tail still lingered in her mind. Meiko cradled it near her chest to keep it warm from the cold surroundings. Dry blood covered half of Meiko's clothes and multiple holes were found on them. Meiko could still taste the blood of Roy's sister on her tongue. It's slightly bitter flavour was hated by her. She hated the memory the memory of a gun being pointed at her with an intention to shoot and the betrayal of a friend; her first she had ever had. She also remembered the terrifying smile of her attacker looking down at her. A large bump from the plane snapped her out of all the bad memories.
Meiko brought her sore legs up to her body. Ever since she jumped up to the roof of the house, they had been aching and they complained about moving around. How she jumped that high in the first place made her wonder. A normal human wouldn't be able to make it, but Meiko wasn't entirely human was she. "It must be because I'm part demon" Meiko said, shoving the idea out of her mind for the time being. The sweet smell from the crates cause Meiko's stomach to groan, reminding her just how hungry she was. Reaching into her stuffed backpack, Meiko brings out a small packet of dried fruit that she had 'borrowed' from Roy's kitchen. Shoving a handful of dried fruit into her mouth, Meiko goes through what food she has left. Including the packet of dried fruit, she has two energy bars and a tin of tuna. Sighing she tells herself that when she gets to Japan she's going to get some more food.
After packing away all the food, including the dried fruit, she decides to see what's inside the crates to see what's making them smell sweet. Walking up to the nearest crate, she attempts to open it, but finds the lid is nailed down. In an angry frustration she kicks it and returns to her lonely corner. For a long time she does nothing but fiddle with her hair and tail. She finds the long flight extremely boring. Just as she's about to attempt at opening another crate, the plane starts to shake violently. While clinging onto her bag and a part of the plane, Meiko nervously looks around as everything else starts to float in the air. All of a sudden the plane leans to the right and everything (including Meiko) falls down and tumbles to the lower side. After emerging from all the crates, Meiko staggers to the door that leads to the passenger part of the plane. Grabbing the door, the plane leans to the left causing Meiko to fall once again. Just as Meiko looks up from amongst the crates the plane goes dead silent before tilting straight down.
The plane picks up speed as it plummets to the ground. The lights flicker on and off as Meiko floats to the back of the plane. Seeing her bag, Meiko reaches out to grab it before the plane goes limp and crashes into a body of water. The plane quickly fills with water as it sinks downwards. Meiko desperately looks for a way out as the water rises to her face. She manages to gulp some air before being covered in the cold, dark water.
All around her the crates drift and the time to get out shortens. Meiko swims down to the door and pulls at it. When it opens she quickly swims through it into the passenger part. Everything is dark and seeing is difficult from the salty water that burns Meiko's eyes. Using her hands she feels herself around to the front of the plane and searches the side for the large door that could save her life. When her hand brushes against the handle she grabs it and pulls with all her might. When it fails to open, Meiko searches for another way out.
Meiko's lungs start to hurt. She can't hold her breath for much longer. Her lungs bursting for air she swims to a window and tries to smash it open with her elbow. After several thuds a loud crack answers Meiko's prays. Braking through it she squeezes her body past it and dramatically swims to the surface. Meiko gulps air continually, returning oxygen to her body. She never thought she'd be so happy to see the sky in her life. After a moments rest, she starts to kick her way to land that's in the distance.
On the beach the kids kicked the ball around. The scorching sun's rays burning their soft skin. Constant war cries are yelled at each other as they kick the ball to each other. In the shade, their parents watch their game. A refreshing cool wind makes everyone forget about their bright red skin. The oceans blue waves wash shells of all kinds up the beach. A few kids leave the game to collect them. One of the kids looks out at the ocean and spots something pink drifting towards the shore. Curious he calls out to his friends and points in its direction. Soon a whole crowd of people are staring at it, wondering what it is.
When it comes close to the shore a couple of people go to investigate what it is. From a few metres away they stop. Exhausted Meiko looks up and notices a group of people staring at her with eye open wide. Standing up, Meiko wraps her arms around her body and walks towards the shore, the people part way for her as they continue to stare. When they look back at her after she passes them they notice her tail swinging around behind her and stagger backwards in shock.
The cool air wouldn't usually bother Meiko but because she's soaking wet she finds herself freezing. Walking past the crowd of people that whisper amongst them, Meiko thumps down in the sand and lies on her back. Everyone on the beach talk's about the pink girl with the tail that came out of the water. Meiko ignores everyone as she relaxes in the Sun as it dry's her clothes. The salty cool air blows through her hair and the hot sand warms her up. Halfway through her relaxation on the beach, two men wearing long black cloaks stood near her blocking out the sun. Looking up with one eye open Meiko says "Do you mind getting out of the sun? I'm trying to enjoy myself". They pull out a gun and point it at her. Closing her eye, Meiko sighs "Not again"
One of the two men begins speaking. "By order of the Knights of the True Cross you are to come with us"
Meiko opens both of her eyes and stands up, dusting the sand off of her. Looking up with a cheeky smile on her face she says slowly "How…about…no?"
Reaming the gun at her they both say "Then we will take you by force."
Yawning Meiko replies "Boring, how about a chase?" And with this she takes off, sprinting down the beach with the two men chasing her. During the chase, Meiko notices that they aren't shooting at her even though the gun is there and ready. This time, instead of dodging bullets she's dodging kids and their beach balls. Meiko begins to find it hard to run in the sand and with two men gaining on her, she runs off the beach and onto a road. This, she finds is much better to run on but with the lack of people around her the men start shooting at her.
Realising why they weren't shooting in the first place, Meiko says to herself "Ah, so that's why" Turning into a corner, Meiko runs into a dead end. Turning around she realises it's too late to run back because both of the men have caught up with her. As they approach with the gun pointed at her, she sighs and flings her hands up saying "Okay, you caught me. Do what you want" While there're distracted talking to each other about whether or not this is a trap, Meiko quietly jumps up onto the roof of the building beside her. When the two men realise she's gone they leave to look for her somewhere else. Meiko watched as the two men walked away. When they were out of sight she complemented herself on how well she can jump.
Soon it was dark and all the lights came on. Looking down at the city, Meiko comments on how pretty it is with all the glowing lights. Turning her head, Meiko gasps when she sees a huge mountain of buildings. Meiko stared at it with her twinkling eyes. On top of all the other buildings was a large palace like building that Meiko found was her favourite. Deciding she'd go explore it tomorrow, Meiko curls up and falls asleep on the roof just as a pink limousine goes through it's gate.
