This chapter is dedicated to PinkFuzzBall, because she is the inspiration for this OC (Emiko), and to Eien no Akumu, because she is the inspiration behind Aimi.

Chapter Three: Welcome To Kanto Japan

{Emiko's P.O.V.}

Hi people! What's up? Enjoying the story so far? I hope so, because if not, this is just a waste of time… Anyways, since Mizuki and Aimi introduced themselves, I might as well too. Name: Emiko Kobayashi. Age: Sixteen. Hair Colour/Length: Hazelnut brown hair that goes just past my shoulder blades. Eye Color: Light Brown. Skin Tone: Pale. Bet you didn't see that coming! Height: Tall-ish. Figure: Skinny. Where do I live? Kanto Japan of course! Gosh, it's been said twice already people!

Now, since that's over and done with, let get on with the story, shall we?

Two years ago, for Mizuki's fourteenth birthday party, we all went over to her house to spoil ourselves. When we got there though, there wasn't really much we could do because it was raining so we didn't want to go shopping. However, seeing our bored expressions, Mizuki's grandfather, Mr. Glen, asked us if we could try out his newest invention, a device that could transport anyone anywhere in the world. Having nothing better to do, we agreed.

We stood on the platform that Mr. Glen had placed on the floor, then hooked up to the machine, as he pushed the button to transport us. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed down from the sky. Upon hearing the thunder that followed, Mr. Glen's eyes widened. He rushed over to the control panel and started pushing buttons, but to no avail.

Mr. Glen looked at us, fear evident in his eyes. All four of us returned his gaze, confused. Why was he scared…?

"Grandpa!" Alex called out. "What's going on? Why do you look so... afraid?"

Mr. Glen just shook his head mutely. "I'm... I'm so sorry! There's nothing I can do now! It's too late!"

Suddenly, my head started pounding. I gasped and slowly sank to my knees, following Ashley, who had also fallen. Alia and Alex were still standing, though I could see it was taking a toll on both of them.

"Why are you sorry?" Alex yelled to her grandfather over the noises coming from the machine. "What's happening?"

"It doesn't matter right now! You need to get off of the platform!" Mr. Glen shouted back. "Please! Grab your friends and come back!" He reached out to Alex.

On the other side of Ashley, I saw Alia fall to her knees as well.

My felt my own breathing quicken, trying to calm myself down, worrying that stress would make the migraine worse. Beside me, Ashley's breathing became laboured, the pain taking the biggest toll on her.

Alex raised her own arm weakly, as if that would help bring us any closer to her grandfather. Suddenly, she groaned and clutched her head, falling to her knees as well. I saw Mr. Glen's mouth open, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. My eyes widened and I looked over at my other two friends to see how they were holding up. By this point, both Ashley and I lay down on the ground, in too much pain to stay even on our knees, and Alia was on all fours, hissing, trying to contain the pain. I reached out, and gently shook Ashley, but she did not stir. She was unconscious.

I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths, trying to soothe the pain. It didn't work. My brain felt like it was on fire, my head was pounding, and my sense of hearing was gone. I felt the tug of unconsciousness, but resisted. I opened my eyes once again to find Alia looking at me. I was so tired… My eyes fluttered closed once more and as I gave up the fight.

I awoke to the sun shining on my face. I shielded my eyes and blinked sleep away. As I sat up, I noticed that Alia was also awake, and staring off into the distance. I followed her gaze to a sign.

I scooted closer to Alia. "What does it say?" I asked her.

Alia's head whipped around to stare at me with wide eyes. When she saw it was just me, she looked at the others who were still unconscious. "Huh?"

"You were always better than me in foreign languages class. Can you translate that sign?" I repeated in more detail.

Alia nodded. "I… I already have…" She said quietly, breaking eye contact with me.

"Well? What does it say?" I glanced back at the sign before returning my gaze to my friend.

"It says… 'Welcome to Kanto, Japan'…"

I sat there, mouth agape. "Kanto, Japan? We were just in Windsor!" I exclaimed, incredulous.

Alia just nodded again. "But John's device lets people travel anywhere in the world." She pointed out. "I'm wondering though…" She stopped and shook her head.

"What?" I asked. "What were you thinking?"

"It's just… Look at those kids over there. The high school ones?" Alia pointed to a group of three or four boys, all of them wearing the same thing. "Doesn't there uniform look familiar?"

I squinted, trying to get a better look. "Yeah… You're right they do… But I can't remember where they're from…"

"They're the uniform for Daikoku Private Academy. The high school that Light Yagami from the anime Death Note goes to!" Alia exclaimed. "And the lightning did mess up the machine…"

"No way, you think we're inside the anime, Death Note?" I shrieked.

Alia just nodded solemnly.
