Okay I was wrong about Shadow appearing in the last chapter. He will be appearing later on in the story.

In the last chapter, Koto and Double D land into a heap of trouble when a group of armed men attack the school. Koto asks Double D to get to her house and pass on a message. However, on his way there he is injured and by several of the men attacking Koto.

In this chapter, We find out why Koto and Anna moved to Peach creek, see if Double D is okay, and meet Koto's best friend and brother Koji from her hometown. I don't own anything except my Ocs Koto and Koji.

Chapter 4 The reason she is here

(Double D's Pov)

The first thing I feel is a throbing sensation from my head. I groan and attempt to sit up. I immediately stop and lay back when I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder and back again. It hurts less, but it's enough to know to stop trying to sit up. I give up on trying to sit up and open my eyes.

I'm in a small bedroom with a window and walls. Several boxes were stacked to the side, leaving enough room for someone to come in and out of the room. Judging by the light in the window, I say it was early afternoon.

"Where am I" I thought while rubbing my head with my good arm.

"Finally awake I see."

I turn to the door and a woman around nineteen enters the room. She had deep red hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a red t-shirt. Her deep brown eyes were half-closed and she was rubbing the bridge of her nose.

Once again I attempt to sit up, only to fall back onto my pillow with a hiss off pain escaping my lips. The woman walks over and slowly helps prop me up to see better.

"Better take it easy. You took a bullet in the shoulder and in the chest. It's going to take time for it to heal," she states

Memories of what happened rush to my head. "What about Koto? Is she okay?" I ask.

"She's fine. She'll be back after school but I'm going to pick her up today to prevent a repeat of two days ago from happening," The woman said.

I was out for two days? "I'm guessing you're hungry after being out for two days," the woman suggested.

A loud grumbling escaped my stomach and I flushed red. The woman laughed. "I'll get you some lunch. Koji, could you come keep an eye on our patient while I get him something to eat?" She yelled out into the hallway.

"Sure Anna. Get me a soda while you're at it," A voice called out from the hallway.

I watched as a boy about Koto's age walked in. Koji wore a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a pair of dark blue tennis shoes. His long black hair was in a loose ponytail behind him. He carried a dark blue knapsack behind him.

Anna rolled her eyes before stepping out of the room, leaving Koji to sit on a crate next to the bed. He stares at me for a minute, his deep blue eyes meeting my blue eyes.

"Sounds like my sister finally got someone involved in her fights," Koji says to me finally.

"Sister? You're Koto's brother?" I ask.

"That's right. Sorry about you getting involved in this," Koji apologized.

"It's okay. But could you explain a few things for me? Who were those men?" I ask.

Koji rubs the bridge of his nose before speaking. "Members of an organization called Nightmare. Their leader is a man named Shadow. He's attacking members our organization, the Superhuman Protection Organization aka SPO," Koji explained.

My eyes widen. I've heard of that organization several times, but I don't remember where.

Koji continues. "Koto's a little reckless when she's in danger so at least someone get's injured everytime she moves, but I didn't expect that she would get the chairman's own son involved this time," he stated.

I nearly pass out. My parents worked at the organization? And dad's the chairman of SPO?

"Koto and I were young when Shadow attack our family. We lost both our parents in that attack. Since then, we've had to keep switching towns every few months," Koji finished.

Silence overcame the room. I close my eyes, taking in everything Koji said. If my family were a part of this, why didn't they tell me? I might have been able to help.

"It's a lot I know. But now that Shadow's got two target's here it's safe to say we're going to be staying here to stop him," Koji stated.

Anna returned to the room carrying a tray of food. The food included slice of pizza, some water, and a small salad. "Sorry if it's not much. Koji, I have to go get Koto from school. let me know if anything changes," Anna states.

Koji nods as Anna leaves the room once more. He shakes his head before turning to me. "Koto will explain more when she gets back. You won't have to worry," he says to me.

But I had plenty to worry about. What did this Shadow want with me and Koto. And why didn't my parents tell me anything about this? Just what is going on?

That's it for this chapter. So now we have some background on Koto, Koji, and this mysterious Shadow. And we also get a look into Double D's family as well. I'm sorry if this story seems to be rushed.

In the next chapter, Koto and the Eds talk about Shadow and work on a plan to stop him. Till next chapter, this is Warrior signing out.
