Chapter 1

Inuzuma Town

The bus driver sighed as he watched the youngster sleeping at the backseat of the bus. He stared at the young teen, studying her appearance. She has black silky hair that framed her face and has fair colored porcelain skin. She wore a maroon jacket and underneath it was a black shirt. She wore a green cargo pants and white high-cut shoes. He notice that this girl had a bag with her and a soccer ball, he didn't give much thought to it though.

'must be meeting with some friends…' He assumed dissmisively.

He then got up from his seat and made his way towards the sleeping teen. He didn't know if this was the stop for the girl but he had to wake her up, cause this was the last stop. Apperently, the girl fell asleep halfway through the trip. And he didn't get the chance to wake the kid up, and plus it wasn't even his job in he first place.

As the driver stopped infront of the sleeping figure, he gently placed a hand on her shoulder and shooked her slightly, attempting to wake her up.

"Ojou-san, wake up." He said.

Seeing as the girl made no effort in responding back to his call, he shooked her for the second time; and this time it was more noticable enough for a sleeping person to wake up. Finally, the girls eye twitched and her body moved slowly. Indicating that she was awake.

"Nhn…" She groaned, opening her eyes and rubbed them softly as she straightened her back.

"Ojou-san, you have to wake up. This is the last stop of the bus." He stated.

The girl looked up at him with her red orbs, innocently; as if she hasn't realized what happened. She blinked a few times before averting her eyes from him then looked outside the window. Realization finally dawned her and her calm face was replaced with a shocked one.

" Ah!" She facepalmed. " Ne, Oji-san. If you don't mind me asking…but…where is this place again?" She asked scratching her cheek, embarressed.

"This place is called Inazuma Town." He replied turning his back at her and proceeded towards the other side of the bus, sitting back on the drivers seat.

"Inazuma town, huh?" She mumbled to herself staring at the large thunderbolt sign on the tower at the top of the hill. What should she do now? She missed her stop and certainly has no way back since her money was not enough for a ride back with a bus.

Shaking her head, choosing not to think about it now; She stood up from her seat and swung her bag to her back and picked up her soccer ball's net. After that, she also made her way to the front and faced the driver, bowing suddenly.

"N-nanda?" He asked, surprised and unsure why the teen was bowing at him.

"Arigato, for your hospitality, Oji-san." She smiled at him.

"A-ah." Was the only word that he could say. He really didn't do anything that should be thanked for. He merely waked her up so that he wouldn't be late for his schedule.

The youngster then hopped off the bus and turned to him. " Ja matta ne, Oji-san." She waved at him.

Not sure what to do, he smiled and waved back at her. " And, right. I forgot to say," He started. "I don't know what stop you should've got off at, but just in case, if you want a ride back out of the town, I suggest that you take the bus at 7:00 o'clock P.M." He stated.

The girl nodded, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Thanks for the information."

"Dou ita shimasute." And with that, the bus drove off leaving her on the sidewalk.

The girl watched the bus as it got farther and farther away, Turning to face the town; she wondered again, crossing both her arms in front of her chest; thinking. She stood there for a good three minutes , still nothing came to mind. Sighing, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Maa, for the time being, exploring the town would be nice." She decided, walking into the town.

The girl liked the town very much, so far. It was nice, the people were friendly as they greeted her when she questioned them about the town. Especially, the nice lady at the candy shop. Apparently, she was looking for a candy shop, because she was looking for a gum, since hers was almost finished; she decided to buy a new one. And it just so happens that this candy store sells them.

"Oba-san, I'll take three packs of gums." She spoke, handing the gums to the lady.

The lady smiled at her and took the gums from her and calculated it on the desk. "Kimi, are you new here?" The lady asked her.

She blinked and nodded. "Hai.." she continued "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason. I just haven't seen you around these town." The lady replied, handing her the gums. " That will be 500 yen in total."

Handing her the money, she received her gums and placed it inside one of her pants's pocket. She faced the lady and said. "Um, yeah. You see, I just happen to be passing by in here."

Hearing her girl's reply, the lady was quite surprised at it. "Oh really? Where are you're parents?" She asked, worried about the young lady's well being but instantly regretted asking those words. The girl's expression changed from happy to a sad smile with a far away look in her eyes.

"I don't know who they are and I don't know what happened to them. All I ever remember was; I grew up in an orphanage." She told her.

The lady felt pity for the young teen, it must have been horrible for her to live a life; never knowing who her parents were and why she was left in an orphanage. She couldn't believe such parents would exist! The lady thought furiously. From the way she sees it, she saw no reason to abandon such a kind and sweet girl.

"It must have been hard.."

"Well at first it was, but…" She paused, somehow she couldn't find the words for the next sentence, so intead she smiled at the lady. "After I met my friends, it was really fun!"

"Past is past. There's no use in thinking about what was already done." She spoke with great wisdom.

"…Sou ne." The lady smiled with and amused look in her eyes.

Suddenly the girl felt really hungry, wondering why, she checked her cell phone for time. Oh, so it was already 5:45 P.M, no wonder she was famished, seeing as she didn't eat lunch today. Flipping her cell phone close, she looked at the lady and asked.

"Ne, Oba-san, is there any place near here to eat?"

"Ah, yes. It just so happens that there is a noodle shop near here. Just walk along the road from here and you'll find it, It's name is 'Rairaiken'. I hear that the noodles there is good." The lady replied helpfully.

"Arigato, Oba-san." The girl smiled, gratefully at her and made a move to leave the shop. Just then, the lady called out to her.

"Wait!" The girl turned around to look at the lady and saw the lady walk towards her and took her right hand; handing her a pack of gum. She looked at the lady questioningly.

"I'll give this to you." She told her, smiling.

The young girl was at loss for words. She was really happy, there aren't many people that would show kindness for strangers. That's what she learned while she was traveling city to city, she saw many poor people in the streets but the people in the city(as she observed) either ignored them or looked at them disgustingly for their clothing and many other negative were only few people who would show kindness to those who are so she did the only thing she could do at the moment and bowed at her and thanked her. The raven then left the shop waving at the nice lady, goodbye.

"Hmm…" The raven haired girl hummed, walking along the road taking her time looking for the noodle shop, glancing left and right. She stopped on her tracks, looking around her. " I wonder where it is…" She muttered, feeling really hungry. She glanced ahead of her and finally, she spotted a noodle shop ahead.

"Maybe that's the shop." She grinned at the thought of finally getting to eat.

Happily making her way to the shop ahead, she suddenly stopped at the sound of voices. She spun around instantly searching for the source.

"P-p-please! I don't have much with me,Kumori-san!" A frightened voice spoke.

"You think you can fool us with that trick for the second time? Huh?" Another voice spoke to the other threatingly and it was was followed my a rustling of the clothes.

"Oi, yamero, Toga." Another voice said, warning his comrade; now revealed as 'Toga'.

'Sounds like trouble…' She thought angrily, she just can't let this pass by.

One thing she hated the most was, people hurting others and doing these nasty things. Following the sounds, she turned to the right straight into an alley. There she spotted three boys, Two boys who look a year older than her and a boy about her age who was picked up by his shirt. The boy looked rather beaten up, he had brown messy hair and glasses and wore a dark blue gakuran styled uniform with a lightning bolt sign imprinted into the left arm of the uniform. And the older boy who was holding him by the collar 'Toga', had a light brown spiky hair and wore a furious expression on his face, and as for the other boy who was holding his friends shoulder as if holding him back from punching the younger one, had a black spiky hair. Somehow they wore the same school uniform.

The younger boy whimpered from fear as he was dropped and quickly fished something from his pocket. He instantly showed his wallet to them, still whimpering.

"T-take this! So please spare me!" he cried out desprately.

Toga smirked and snatched the wallet from the boy, opening it and counted the money. "…450 yen.." the bully whispered "450 YEN! What do you expect me to do with just 450 YEN!" He yelled at the boy, aiming to punch him straight at the nose; but was unexpectedly kick in the face and was sent flying to the ground.

"Toga!" The other boy called out, surprised at the sudden attack.

He turned his heaed to look at the attacker and saw a beautiful raven haired girl with red eyes, glaring at them. At the sight of the girl's eyes glaring at him, he felt something; as if he shouldn't mess with this girl. Those red eyes alone glaring at him made him feel pressured.

'Who is she?'he thought, feeling a sweat run down his face.

Gritting his teeth, he charged blindly at the younger girl with a battle cry; drawing his fists back and shot it straight at her. The girl only sidestepped and kneed him in the stomach really hard.

Seeing this happen, the glassed boy cowered back in fear. 'W-what is with her?' he thought, standing up; shaking constantly with fear. 'I-I should get this chance to escape.' He ran out of the alley as fast as his shaking legs could.

Feeling his stomach getting hit, his sight became blurry and coughed out saliva. Though he got no rest since the girl grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back and slammed him to the ground. 'N-no way…' the boy thought, not believing at what just happened and with amazement.

The raven haired girl sighed as she took hold of the boys arm below her, then she felt something was coming at her and dodged instinctively. Turns that it was the other guy 'Toga', aiming at her with a sloppy kick. Taking this time to strike back while he was still recovering his composture, kicking him successfully in the head with a round house kick.

"Do you know what I hate the most?" she continued "It's people who pick on the weaker ones." She stated glaring at them. The two boys got up from the ground and looked at her with fear in their eyes. They began to cower and simontaniously grabbed money from their pockets and threw it in the air, scampering away. "T-take this and spare us!"

The raven had a deadpanned look on her face as she watched the moneys float in the air towards the ground. She sighed and crouched and began to collect the money on the ground and noted the wallet that was also abandoned by it's owner. 'Seriously…' She thought tiredly. As she finished collecting the money and the wallet, the raven stood up and stared at it.

'4000 yen…ah…what should I do with this?' she thought worriedly. ' and this wallet too…' she sighed, shooking her head and kept it in her bag which she just dropped on the spot before she kicked the guy flying. She should return this to them, it is the right thing to do. After all, she did have a clue to where they will be found. She thought positively, picking up her ball and proceeded to the noodle shop.

Done! Okay , so this is the first chapter. I know this isn't much, but I'm trying to make a more decent chapter than before. What do you think? Please review!
