It was another beautiful day in Tokyo, birds were singing, the sky was clear, and the air smelled… well it had rained last night so at least the air today smelled a lot cleaner. My name is Kasumi Satao, I'm seventeen and got kicked out of every school for various reasons that I'd rather not go into. So before my workaholic parents had to travel overseas for another business trip, I was sent to stay at my mother's friend's house who happens to live at the Higurashi shine. Lucky for me I got to stay in a guest room they had ready for surprise guests.
"Good morning Kasumi. Did you sleep well?" a girl named Kagome came into the room as I was brushing my hair.
I gave a lopsided smile, feeling that she had way too much pep for this early in the morning, "Good morning, Kagome was it? What are you doing up this early on a Saturday?"
"Well…" it seemed like Kagome was about to say something when her little brother Sota came running, yelling for his sister.
"Kagome! I tried to stop him." Sota pleaded then hurriedly ran away as he called back, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Just then I heard a series of loud stomping footsteps, and judging by the look on Kagome's face she was not expecting anyone to be coming over at this time, "Kagome, what's taking so long we got to…"
Before Kagome could react,or even myself for that matter, a boy around my age in an old fashioned bright red kimono, with long silver hair, amber eyes, had a sword on his hip, and… were those dog ears?! He's a cosplayer… that's it! I guess this Kagome chick is going to a convention that somehow was never mentioned to me. Kagome and this dog eared cosplayer must be friends… or more than that by the way they are arguing so intensely, they've even forgotten that I was right here, so instead of watching a lovers quarrel I turn to walk back into the room only to get pushed aside by Mr. Dog ear. Ok that does it! No one treats a Satao like that and gets away with it!
"Excuse me, but who the hell do you think you are?!?" I exclaimed as I whipped around to face the culprit who had enraged me but instead I'm thrown to the floor along with Kagome apparently as bullets whizzed over our heads coming through the walls and the now shattered window.
Once the bullets stopped we heard a voice saying over a bullhorn, "Good evening Ms.Higurashi, if you would be so kind as to hand over Ms.Satao no harm will come to your family."
I knew this day would come… I have been pursued by power hungry people for most of my life, who want to use my terra kinetic power for evil purposes but I never knew that they would find me this quick and in Japan of all places. I let out a heavy sigh and began to get up. I dusted off my knee length skirt and walked to the shattered window with my hands held up in a non- threatening way.
"Leave these people alone!" I called out to the mysterious people in black suits with guns, "they have nothing to do with this Marcus, it's me you're after… not them!"
From the crowd of people dressed in black suits, one man with slick greasy black hair steps forward, suavely, as it is apparent that this guy was the guy my parents wanted me to marry.... Marcus Hiroshi, the son of a millionaire and CEO of a research and development company for future tech and medicine. I despised his type, the type that would do anything if it meant making his pockets fuller… even at others expenses. Trying really hard to keep a calm demeanor I quickly glance back at Kagome and her pal. Wait a minute… where is that cosplay guy? I was sure he was there just a minute ago.
"Let. Them. Go." I turned my focus back to the 'men in black' and found the cosplay boy up front with… whoa, that's a very huge sword!
Marcus, who was never one to be intimidated, took one look at the sword and I could literally see him sweat bullets. With a wave of his hand, Kagome's family was released and they ran into the safety of the house. This was my chance.... I jumped smoothly out the broken window and lay a hand flat on the ground, then I began to call upon the power within me to activate. Just then the ground began to tremble and all of a sudden the entire ground under the 'men in black' and Marcus, had erupted with thick thorny root like vines. Within a few seconds the root like vines ensnared the creeps and they were begging to be released. Once I was sure they were not going anywhere, I stood up and dusted my hands off.
"Whoa nice work... uh? what's your name, kid?" I looked at the guy and to my surprise his dog ears twitched and that's when I felt my legs give out on me, then everything went dark.
