Arita Aki is only 16 years old. She is a girl who has seen much beyond her years, and has known what many her age have never thought of even in their wildest dreams. She has heard things as a child that can only be heard by elders. She has kept secrets that, once exposed, can wipe her out from the face of the earth and heaven in seconds. All the bad she has seen, all the bad she has heard. Many of the good remains unknown to her and she yearns to discover what the good the world has on store for her. Even though leaving the life in which she has been raised in for the first years of her life will not be easy, she strives to try to be what you would call "normal": falling in love, raising a family, and working. Yes, this is what she wants the most: to fall in love.
This, unfortunately, won't be easy. She was blessed with a kindly and witty personality, good enough to charm anyone. Alas, she developed an ugly face as she matured, full of red little demons that spread faster that chicken pox on a hot day. The only beauty of her face is her smile. Her eyes shine and sparkle, the light sky blue color of her eyes lighting up like fireworks in the dead of night, and after, her moist soft lips twist into a gorgeous smile that will melt your heart. She is kind and scholarly, but often has anger and resentment in her heart. Deep down, she loves everyone, but betrayal hurts. Scars never truly fade away, even after several lifetimes. She will try her best not to fall into the attractive trap of betrayal again. Her last betrayal was a close friend of hers. She loved her like a sister she never saw. She put all of her love into her, and all of her energy. One day, it all came crashing down on her. Her friend stabbed her slowly, speaking quietly and diligently, taking pleasure from every tear that fell from her watery blue eyes, and chuckling softly when her heart would break, piece after piece. When she left her life, she had barely scampered up all of the scattered pieces from her soul when her heart fell in love again: with a boy. She doted on him so much he hated her a gave her such a cold shoulder she would turn into ice, day by day, untill she couldn't thaw her heart no more with self-made passion. She left him behind to start a new life. She lived secluded for four long years, learning herself and training herself to control her desires and instincts, and the beating of her heart. After years of training, she finally felt like facing the world again, now much more mature and experienced. She found a place she could call home for a few years, a job she could call enjoyable for a few months, and a library where she could seclude herself once in a while to amass knowledge about her suroundings. She read books as a child, which now will help her tremendously. She had a quick understanding of things very important ever since she was very young, which made her have a splendid imagination. She could look at a leaf blowing away in the breeze outside of the window and imagine that that leaf carried special genetics which could bring chemical reactions to whoever touched it, and then the individual would have been passed on the genetics and therefore have supernatural powers. Even after all of this, her imagination couldn't help her now... she needed to find love. That was the only thing missing. She knew that the self-made passion would not last for long.
She needed fireworks to lighten up her life.
A voice told her the answer she needed:
She needed A Knight in Shining Armor.
