BRS Beyond Boundaries- EP 3:The Black Reaper

Just so you know. BK-201 is pronounced "B.K- Nii- Rei- Ichi" Yep, Japanese pronunciation.

I AM SO LATE! But I made it up by making this long enough to be considered an "episode." Bonus: I already got started on the next chapter.

Italics are for thoughts, news, and flashbacks

Bolded is for Kurama...

Opening theme:

April 6th 11:45 P.M

In tunnel near a park…

"We found another one!"

"Great! Bring her over!"

A small group of men dragged a tied up young woman in her 20's. She is a petite girl with short hair. Her mouth was gagged so she couldn't shout for help. She struggled against the ropes, but it's clearly impossible for her to break free.

"Call her over!" one ordered.

One of the men quickly got out his phone. "Hey, we found someone that matches the description! Short hair. The hairstyle's similar…" He called in to it.

"Send me a photo of her. Now!" A femine voice commanded.

"Yes maam!" He quickly shot a photo of the captured woman with his phone and sent it.

A couple of minutes passed…

"THIS IS NOT HER!" She roared angrily surprising the man making him almost drop his phone. "Are you Blue Squares all fools? All the ones you got so far are WOMEN!"

Everyone was totally confused. "Women? You said…that her age is in her 20's!"

There was a pause…followed by a sigh. "I figured it out now. You all age differently from us…She's supposedly in her 20's but she would look a lot younger. More like a kid." She explained "For example, those photos I gave you. What age do those girls look like?"

"Ummmm around 13 or 15? I'd say middle schoolers-ish…"

"Then find the one like that."

"What do we do with her?"

"Do whatever you want with her." She hung up right after that.

The lights in the tunnels flickered…turning on and off over and over.

"What's going on?"

The sound of metal scraped on concrete made everyone turn to the other end of the tunnel. As the lights continued to flicker, they could make out who the visitor was: black longcoat, hooded masked figure, A large blood-red edged scythe trailed behind him making screeching noises as it scars the road below it.

"It's him!"
"The Black Reaper!"

The Black Reaper slung his scythe behind him the blade end facing back. "Get out!" He shouted in a low voice.

The group of men stepped back a few feet, except one, a tall man with extremely pale skin and waist-length black hair. He had a long face with pronounced cheekbones, golden eyes with slits in his pupils.

"You fools! We are the Blue Squares! We will not back down and run from this bastard!" He growled to his group. He turned around to the Black Reaper and got out a machete. The rest prepared pistols and crowbars. "Bring it on, bitch!"

The Black Reaper threw one of his arms forward, sending an electric current towards them. With a quick spark, an explosion of fire burst in the tunnels. The Blue Squares were blasted out from the tunnel while the Black Reaper escaped out with the unconscious captured victim. He was about to head out until a pocket knife flew past his head landing in the wall.

"Hold it, bitch! Who said that you can run? Do you even know who I am? I am Snake Eyes, one of the best here!" He aimed a loaded pistol at him.
"You might as well go away when I gave you the chance to live…" The Black Reaper responded.

"Hand her over!"

"You have no need for her."
"Not for our boss. Me! I want her, so I can kill her!" He licked his lips deviously. "Maybe even have a little fun with her ass~"

"Snake, we shouldn't do this! Look at what he's capable of doing!" warned a member fearfully.

"SHADDUP YA SONUVABITCH! I am Ikebukuro's most deadly man for a reason! I fucked and kill so many chicks! The cops can't even touch my level! CHEAHHAHAHA!"

"So why do you kill?" asked the Black Reaper calmly.

"Do I even need a reason to? It's just fun! The sight of their terrorized faces right before you stab them to death! The sound of painful cries! All is like a set requiem for me to enjoy over and over and OVER!" He grinned so wide that saliva dripped at the edge of his mouth.

"So…you kill people for no reason…then-" He quickly dashed towards him. Snake reacted using his pistol, shooting at him. The Black Reaper easily deflected each of them with a short spin of his scythe; he gave another swing to slice off the hand that was holding the gun. Snake grabbed his severed arm in pain but didn't notice the Black Reaper grabbing his head tightly. All this happened in merely seconds.

"Smiles don't belong on people like you…"

Snake couldn't turn his head so he merely roared "Fuck you!" He swung his machete as a last resort, but the Black Reaper blocked it easily with his arm.

(Clank!)

When the blade clashed with his arm, it broke off as if he hit solid metal. Snake widened his eyes in fear as the edge of the scythe loomed closer to him. It's blood red point paralyzing him as if he was frozen in ice.

"…Die…" Grasping his scythe closer to the edge, he cut through his throat and let him go. He didn't behead him, but he was gushing blood from the wound. Snake couldn't shout in pain. There were gurgles of blood bubbling in his mouth. He struggled but went limp in a short time. The others gasped in shock as they watched him die. Some even ran away from the sight.

Police sirens started to get louder and louder.

"I suggest you all go home…or do you want to end up like him…" The Black Reaper pointed his bloodied scythe at the fresh corpse.

The men got the message and fled quickly, not wanting to experience a death like Snake.

He got the woman who was still unconscious and put her on a bench far from the tunnel that's still alight with flames.

He picked up a stray pistol and looked up to the full moon.

"I killed again…" He whispered solemnly to himself "I had reasons, too...but...how many more times do I have to do it again for all this to stop…" He lowered his eyes. "I really…don't like this…"

"We are the police! We have the area surrounded!" He sensed the police nearby but they weren't looking for him. He knew they were looking for the gang members.

Small groups of the Blue Squares are spread out in other areas searching for her… I have to keep going…

"So…I'm known as the Black Reaper…"

"It's a rather fitting name…for someone like me…" He quickly dispersed, disappearing into the night.

School- April 7th 6:00 A.M

"Room 2-B…" BK-201 said to herself quietly as she was looking at the list of student names on the board outside the gym. She had her school uniform on with the white blouse untucked and her blazer unbuttoned. She still had her headphones on that's connected to her Iphone. Her tie was messily tied since she even had trouble doing it.

…

Back at the apartment 5:00 A.M

"Grab the left and right sides of the horizontally-folded end and pinch them together in front of the dangling end. The top of the dangling end will now be held between them." Instructed Kurama.

"Are you sure…that this is right?" She questioned as she followed Kurama slowly.

"Well…this is how Youtube does it…now just be quiet and listen!" He continued "Feed the middle of the dangling end back through the knot you made in Step 3. It will now form the back half of the bow. Tighten the bow by pulling on opposite sides and halves simultaneously. Pull the front right and back left ends apart to loosen; pull the front left and back right apart to tighten. Repeat until the bow is the desired shape and tightness."

She tried to follow on, but she clumsily finished the bow with the last pull. She sighed. "Not good…"

"Well, it still looks like a bow…its good enough." Kurama observed from within the laptop they bought recently. "Do you really have to untuck that shirt? You also have to button up that blazer…"

"But…I have to hide my tail..." she turned around and raised her uniform to show Kurama her compressed tail on her lower back. "I'll wrap a roll of bandage around it to keep it down…but it's really uncomfortable if I keep it like this for a long time…that's why…I try to loosen it by untucking my shirt and stuff like that…"

"Meh…you're wearing the uniform and that should be good enough…should we also bring some of that stuff?"

"Kurama…" she sighed as she tied up her hair in a small ponytail.

"A sword?"

"No…"

"A pistol?"

"No…"

"A grenade?"

"Kurama…"

"I know! Just testing you!" He laughed. "Alright, hang on!" He transferred himself from the laptop to her phone in a quick static of electricity. "I'm ready now!" He called from the phone.

"Kurama, why don't you transfer inside me?" She questioned him as she picked him up. "Is the mindscape not good enough?" She lowered her head. "Am I…not a good host?"

"H-Hey! Don't think about that! Of course you are! You're my partner!"

"Sorry…I was just thinking why you hardly transfer inside me…"

He quickly thought up something to say "I-It's just…that…being in someone's head for a really long time is…really boring sometimes…NOT saying that you're boring as a person! I could do a lot more in something as vast as the laptop or the phone. Of course, I still talk to you like before…" He trailed off.

"Ok…ignore me…let's go…" She walked out the door with Kurama silently.

Geez…this kid… He sighed and closed his eyes. It's not because of you…its really your memories…I keep seeing them whenever I'm in your mind…but I can't tell you that…not after you went through so much …both emotionally and physically…I really don't want to see it…There's also THAT thing inside you…

…

The school hallways were empty, quiet…deserted, but BK-201 continued strolling until she found her class, 2-B. Nobody was there, not even the teacher. The classroom was all dark so she reached over and switched on the lights.

"Empty…" She looked around. Everything's neat and organized. The black board is all clean. The desks were arranged in rows of 6 by 5 with one extra desk on the next row in the corner next to the windows. She went ahead and took a seat in that one. Kurama came on through her earbud.

"Kid, we're early…aren't we, eh? It's 6:30…Geez…We could have gone later!" He interrupted the silence.

But I don't like being in crowded areas… She thought to him as she put her head down in her arms on the desk.

"H-Hey! You're sleeping right now?"

"Hmmmm…" she sighed as she closed her eyes.

Kurama sighed and laid down in his own virtual space inside her phone.

…

(1 hour later)

"Hey! I found the list!" shouted Mato as she's waving at her group of friends jumping up and down excitedly.

"Mato, you don't need to shout like that! We can totally see that from here, too!" Kagari shouted back.

"You shouldn't yell like that, too, Kagari" sighed Yomi shaking her head side to side.

Yuu giggled and left Yomi and Kagari. She went up beside Mato and searched the list for both her and her friends' names. After a while, Mato and Yuu jumped happily together. "We are all in class 2-B!"

"That's great! I don't have to be worried about missing Yomi!" Kagari smiled as she quickly glanced at Mato and snickered at her. Mato narrowed her eyes in return.

"Hey now…Could you guys stop doing that to each other?" Yomi scolded the both of them. "We are still here pretty early. Let's go check out the classroom!"

The girls went into the three-story building and up to the second floor. As they made their way through the hall, they saw the light left on in class 2-B.

"I guess we aren't the only ones that want to take a look at our new class!" Mato went ahead and ran inside the room. The others caught up to her.

"Honestly, the class looks the same like last years!" Kagari complained.

"Well, what did you expect?" Yomi noticed someone in one of the desks. "Who's that?"

"Where?"

"Over there in the way back. Is she sleeping?"

Yuu went up to her and gasp. "I know this person!" She's the girl from before!

"Who's she then?" Mato asked.

"I met her before during spring break…Hmmm…it's BK-something…though...I sort of think it's a weird name…" Yuu wondered.

"You can call me what you like…"

Everyone jumped in surprised. BK-201 slowly raised her head groggily pulling off her headphones.

"Ah! Sorry for waking you like that!" Yuu quickly apologized. The other girl just nodded her head.

Yomi took a peek at her phone "It's almost time for the entrance ceremony to start. We should start heading towards the gym."

"Wait! Shouldn't we introduce ourselves?" Mato turned towards Yuu "Yuu, didn't you tell me before that she's a friend of yours?"

"Well…" She started but Mato went on without her finishing.

"Ok then! I, the ace of the basketball club, am Kuroi Mato! The pretty girl in glasses is Takanashi Yomi." She walked up close to BK-201. "She's mine!" She whispered with a wink. "The blondie next to her is Kagari, my rival!"

"Ri-val?" BK-201 tilted her head in confusion.

"Rival…in LOVE!" Mato laughed. Yomi blushed while Kagari narrowed her eyes at her. "Annnd she, the great new manager of the basketball team, is-"

"Koutari-kun…" She finished.

"You know…you can just call me Yuu." Yuu pointed out.

BK-201 blinked at her for a few seconds. "Koutari-kun…" she decided.

Yuu giggled "Well if that's how you like to call me by, I'll let you!" she smiled. "So…what do you want us to call you by then?"

She thought for a while and sighed. "Just call me what you like…" She stood up from the desk. Mato twitched her eyes…she was somehow annoyed.

"You're certainly disorganized today." Kagari commented as she looked at BK-201's untucked uniform.

"I'll help you with that tie!" Yuu started untying her tie.

"The entrance ceremony should be starting up soon. If we don't hurry, we won't get our seats!"

"Just leave us here. We'll catch up! Save seats for us, ok?"

Mato and the others nodded and went off.

"What do you think of her? That girl?" Yomi asked "I think she's just really shy and quiet."

"I don't trust her…somewhat…" Mato narrowed her eyes "Didn't you look at her? She's so…empty-like…. I just think I don't like her…It's weird though…It's like…that feeling you get when you think that she's an enemy…"

"Is THAT what you think? Geez…what's this an anime? (a pun lol)" said Kagari "I just think she's...a bit on the creepy, strange side…I just think she's weird, too."

"Well, we could meet her again later and know her more. Yuu seems to like her" Yomi pointed out. "If she's Yuu's friend, then I think we should treat her as one too."

Mato reluctantly agreed and Kagari followed with a nod and a smile.

…

Yuu and BK-201 are now alone together.

"Don't worry!" Yuu assured her "The ceremony won't really start on time. This tie was hard right?"

She nodded.

"It was hard when I first did my tie by myself…even back then…" She thought about her time in middle school before she and Strength switched. No one ever helped her, not even her mom. She eventually learned how to do it herself through daily routine along with other things like cooking and doing her own laundry. She did it alone all while her mom hanged around with men in the living room. Yuu sighed until the girl brought her back with a few pats on her head.

"Huh? What is it?"

"You're sad…You don't need to be here with me…"

Yuu immediately shook her head. "N-No! That's not what I was thinking! It was totally something else!"

"Ok…"

She finished the tie but looked over her attire. "You're not going to tuck in the blouse or button up your uniform?"

"Ummmm…" BK-201 muttered nervously. She couldn't obviously tell her that she has a tail!

Yuu had an idea. "I'm guessing that you don't like being strapped by the uniform. Can you at least button the uniform? It will cover over the untucked blouse underneath." She smiled "It's also only for the entrance ceremony. Afterwards, you can unbutton it again. Ok?"

"K…" She sighed as she did what she was told holding in her tail even further than it has been already.

Her phone vibrated. A text from Kurama.

Hey! That ceremony is seriously starting! Get over there, eh!

"Let's go!" Yuu led the way as they both ran quickly towards the gym.

However, as they went in the gym, the rows of seats were already filled up with students. The principal started walking up on the podium. Yuu looked around and saw Mato and the others in the end of the row near the front. Yomi turned and met her gaze onto Yuu's. She quickly waved and silently mouthed "Sorry! We were forced to give up the spaces by the teachers!"

"It's ok! Don't worry about me!" She mouthed back though the noisy crowd.

The principal tapped on the mic, and the students quieted down. He's already starting his speech Yuu jumped and went for the empty seats in the back. "Hey, over here! Hurry!" She whispered quickly to the other girl.

BK-201 nodded, and they both sat down quietly next to each other. After a while, she received another text from Kurama.

Here's the lyrics! You need them, eh?

Yuu tapped her on the shoulder. "No cellphones!" She warned quietly.

The other girl nodded and put her phone away. She already memorized it anyway…

Everyone stood up from their seats and prepared to sing the anthem.

(Ok, readers. Here's a note from me. There's two songs from where you could choose from. One is from the Japanese national anthem and the other is K-ON's anthem. Both are different. The second one I got from googling "Sakura school anthem"…or was it "Sakura middle school anthem?"…..something like that…Ok! Back to the story!)

(There's two versions but both are same translation…)

May your reign

Continue for a thousand, eight thousand generations,

Until the pebbles

Grow into boulders

Lush with moss

Poetic English translation by English professor Basil Hall Chamberlain:

Thousands of years of happy reign be thine;

Rule on, my lord, until what are pebbles now

By ages united to mighty rocks shall grow

Whose venerable sides the moss doth line.

Sakuragaoka Joshi Koutou Gakkou Kouka

I look up at the serene blue sky
And realize a distant ideal
And on the hill where fragrant cherry blossoms bloom
Oh, encouraging friends gather on campus

At the bosom of an extended, beautiful peak
Affectionate souls bring me up
Carrying the dawning future on their shoulders and
Oh, diligent friends gather on campus

Reflected on the clear water's surface
A maiden's sincerity and high dreams
Not forgetting to disperse to school
Oh, promised friends gather on campus
Oh, promised friends gather on campus

(I will post up links for the songs for those that actually want to hear it…since the English text is sort of weirdly translated.)

(At this point, I am seriously thinking why I'm going this deep…The songs were my sister's idea...T.T)

After the song finished, Yuu turned to BK-201 but she wasn't there anymore…

Did she disappear in the middle of the song? She looked around but couldn't find a single sign of her.

After the entrance ceremony closed, Yuu met up with the others. "Hey, Yuu. Where's that girl that was with you?" Yomi was looking around for her.

"See? I told you that there's something weird about her!" Mato stepped up to Yuu. "How do you even find her as a friend if she keeps acting…the way she is?"

Yuu didn't realize that her friends had different thoughts about BK-201. "I just…thought that she's a nice person…I mean she helped me back then-"

"She helped you ONCE" Mato sighed and gave her a pat on the back. "I just have a weird feeling from her…like a bad sign…a bad aura…that gut feelin-"

"Geez, I get it...Actually, Mato, can I talk to you alone for a moment?"

"Sure. Yomi, Kagari, you guys can go on ahead!" They nodded and left. Yuu and Mato went to an empty hall.

"Mato…have you heard anything from Black Rock Shooter? Any visions at night? Anything?"

"Well, ever since that…" Mato was trying to think her words carefully to avoid mentioning Strength "you came back…here…this world. I never got anything from Black Rock Shooter…though I sometimes wonder what she's doing now…"

"Does Yomi know about Dead Master?"

"Uh-Uh, she never met her…or actually connected to her."

"Kagari?"

"Nope, same with her. Yuu, why you're asking this? It's sort of weird asking this cuzz…"

"It's because of Saya. Yesterday, I asked her if she's still communicating with Black Gold Saw…I just had a curious thought. She said the same thing you said. She's also not getting anything from her, and I was just wondering…why?"

"I really don't know why either…" Mato scratched her head. "Maybe, there's a reason for it…or maybe...-"

(Ding Dong Dang Dong) (Ding Dong Dang Dong)

"Ah! The bell! Yuu, we really have to go!" They both ran off to class.

Is it because we have no need for otherselves? Yuu silently thought to herself I don't even have Strength anymore… She shook the thought away and continued on.

Yuu and Mato barged into class panting. "Sorry! We are late!"

"It's ok! Sensei isn't here right now. Hurry up and take a seat! Mato, I saved a spot for you here." Yomi pointed to the seat to the right of her. Kagari was sitting next to her on the left. "Yuu, the seats were quickly filled up but there's a spot and it's still close to us. It's on the end over there on the row behind us." It was a seat next to Kagari…from the diagonal. They all sat in the 4th row while Yuu was left with the empty seat in the end in the 5th row. Yuu sighed.

"Sorry, Yuu!" Kagari apologized "We couldn't win against this guy." She pointed to the guy sitting next to her.

Yuu went over and sat down in the last seat. She looked around. In front of her sits a guy that Kagari pointed to earlier. To the right sits a long black haired girl, she waved at Yuu. She waved back. She turned around to see who was behind her until she realized that she was sleeping on her desk. She quickly recognized that this was the girl that disappeared earlier, BK-201.

"Hey…" She shook the girl awake. "Where were you before-"

"HOYAAHHHHHH!" The door was suddenly kicked open, and a pretty young woman jumped through it and landed at her podium. Everyone gaped in amazement and clapped. She has fairly long, light brown hair tied up in a ponytail, ending at just a little above her hips.

"Ehem" She cleared her throat to cease the claps. "I am Ninomiya Shizuku but please call me Shizuku-sensei~" She smiled and winked. "I am the new teacher your principal has talked about in his speech that probably none of you guys bothered to listen to!" Some students nodded in agreement and others giggled. "I will also be your homeroom teacher this year! Since this is all new to me, hang tight and we can go through the semesters together. Alright, I got a list of names here…and I'm guessing that you are all here. By the way, the seats you have chosen will be your permanent seats!"

Most of the students cheered happily while there were a few moans.

"Excuse me, Shizuku-sensei? Can I say something to the class first?" A girl in the row same as Yuu but on the other end rose her hand.

"Sure. Go on." She adjusted her glasses.

"Everyone! I'm Nakamura Hanako! I'm in charge of the kendo club. Where should I start?"

"Nakamura Hanako? Champion for junior kendo elite championships for 3 consecutive years in Osaka?"

"Yep! I just moved in here because of…stuff. Shizuku-sensei is also the supervisor for this club and also in charge of the self-protection program." Sensei nodded in agreement. "So, since this is the time to decide what clubs to join, please think about this one!"

"Shizuku-sensei, can you explain the self-protection program?" asked a student.

Sensei smiled and nodded "Sure! The program was brought into place this year after many cases of gang related activities for the last several months. It's to ensure safety of you students to know what to do when you encounter these people or even better, how to prevent meeting one."

"Shizuku-sensei…" Yuu turned around surprisingly to see BK-201 awake. "I think it's best if you give everyone a quick synopsis of the situation…like the Blue Squares and the Black Reaper…"

"That's a great idea…ah can you please remove your headphones?"

BK-201 nodded once and put them on her neck.

I can't hear Kurama now…. She sighed.

"Well, to begin with, the gang activity started around last year. A few vandalism and stuff like that. Several months ago, they started doing a series of kidnappings; mostly young women...Most were left unconscious. Some were…uhh…raped and few were murdered before their bodies were found. For example, last night, there was another kidnapping followed by an explosion in the Hiraga Tunnel in the Osaka area. This one was lucky to be unharmed. There are now police surveillances at night, but it's still pretty inefficient."

Yuu raised her hand "What about the Black Reaper?"

"I was just getting there….name?"

"I'm Koutari Yuu."

Shizuku-sensei widened her eyes but immediately dropped it. "Ah, yes. Yuu. Ok! The Black Reaper…also known as The Kuro Shinigami is a completely mysterious figure. We don't know whether he's a part of the gangs or not, but we know this. He's notoriously dangerous. He was involved in the Kyoto Blackout that happened during Spring break and other explosions in different areas. I was just thinking this, so I might as well share it with you all. He's getting more and more involved with the gangs as they do their kidnappings from time to time."

"Why do they kidnap people?" asked a random student.

"Now that…I don't know…though…" She turned around facing her back towards the students "they might be looking for someone…" she warned.

Everyone chatted with each other while Yuu was deep in thought.

Looking for someone? Who? Yuu shook her away from that thought and quickly thought of another thing. She turned around behind her.

"Ah, umm what club are you thinking of joining?" She asked.

BK-201 rested her head on her arms above her desk. "Kendo…" she answered.

Yuu sighed. She was hoping to recruit her for the team. "I guess it's pointless to tell you about basketball club huh?"

She just shrugged and went back to sleep.

…

After school…Basketball meeting…

"What? Yumina and Seiko are LEAVING?" shouted Kohata.

"Yea, Yumina is joining the volleyball and Seiko's joining the kendo club." said Mato.

"That's it!" she stomped her foot. "We have a mission! Get recruits! Drag those first years here if you have to!"

"Isn't that too much?" said Yuu

"Whoever doesn't find a recruit gets extra laps!"

Everyone moaned.

Shizuku's at her desk in the faculty room where other teachers are also doing their business. She had the student attendance and was just peering over it…especially two particular names: Koutari Yuu and BK-201.

"Hmmm…." She sighed deep in her own thoughts.

"Are you doing alright?" said the principal

Shizuku jumped and immediately put the attendance face-down on her desk. "Yes, of course!"

"How was your first day as teacher?"

"It was great! All the students are very-well behaved…well maybe except one. She keeps sleeping during class."
"Who?"

"Ah, this one…" she pointed on the attendance sheet.

"Oh, the new kid…"

"She didn't want me to know her name for some reason…"

"She's probably just nervous. Give her some time. She said she was homeschooled before she registered." He walked away.

She peered at the name "BK-201" and narrowed her eyes at it. "I don't even think that's a foreign name..."

Later at night….

"Playing with your toys that you picked up again?"

BK-201 nodded as she surrounded herself with parts of guns and cases. She was taking a semi-auto rifle apart. "Barrel's broken…needs replacement…" she muttered. After taking the barrel apart, she created a new copy of the barrel from a manifestation of shadows.

"That's still pretty cool every time I see you do that" amused Kurama.

She nodded as she went over to another case. It had claws and other attachments. She picked up a four-pronged claw and attached it to the tip of her tail. She opened it and closed it to test the connection. Using her tail, she carefully put a tiny device inside the rifle's holt and sealed it.

"Done…" She murmured.

She cleaned up the room and put the fixed guns away in their cases.

"It's still pretty hard to believe that you fixed all these by yourself despite knowing that you pick up most of these things at incident areas. Don't you get caught?"

"No…I'm always quick about it…" Her stomach growled "Hungry…"

"Oh! I found a recipe we can try! How about tempura?"

"K…"

…

"Kurama, I'm going to out…"

"Where? Going selling? Need me to go with you?"

She shook her head. "The boundary….It's not like last time…just…-"

"Fine then…just be careful and don't do anything stupid. Hazama is an unstable place. I told you that before…"

She nodded as she stepped out the door. Raising her hood over her head, she disappeared in a shadowy mist.

I know I know "WHAT?" The beginning part was supposed to be confusing...in a way...I'm telling you! you guys will be like "OHHHHHHHH!" after some chapters! Just hang tight with me. Most anime do this anyway...T.T

Those anthem songs were my sister's idea! Just sayin...You can either youtube them or I'll have them on links on my deviant art.
