"JIWOO! Jiwoo replied, Yong!" I said with joy.
I opened the message up, but my emotions quickly went from joy to anger.
"Y-Yon, you're alright? You're shaking.." Yong said.
"This bitch.. He really used an emoji.. AT THIS TIME?!" I shouted.
"ARGH! YOU'RE GONNA BRING OUR ENEMIES!!" Yong replied.
Suddenly, we heard loud stomping. Both me and Yong looked at the same direction.
There were maybe 7? 10 looking gangsters screaming something in russian, they were pointing while looking st the screen with the stars under our names.
"Yong!" I shouted.
"We'll kick their asses!" Yong said.
Both we and the gangsters started running towards each other!

"Jiwoo, how much longer?" I asked.
"It can't be for much longer!" Jiwoo replied.
Suddenly, we started hearing shouting in russian. Jiwoo stopped quickly before me and so did I. The sound came from an alley between two buildings. It must have been 8 gangsters, or even more.
They were pointing at us, there was a stray dog next to a trash can, between us, one of them pointed at it.
"They must plan to get rid of the dog!" Jiwoo said.
A big guy lifted up his arm to punch it, just before he landed the punch I ran over and covered the dog with my back to protect it.
"Tengan!!" Jiwoo shouted from a small distance.
I can't bare to see you die, not like how I had to suffer the death of Koji!

"psst, hey! wake up!" I heard faintly as I felt small slapping on my cheeks.
I slowly opened my eyes, it was a woman.
"Young child, you need to go back to your parents! It's dangerous to be in the streets all by yourself!" she said and walked away.
Pfft! What does she know about me?! After all, I'm Tengan, I will survive even with no parents! I sleep next to a trash can as there is almost always a bag that is soft enough to sleep on.
I have a short tank top and shorts which suit me well! I started to walk slowly to a more quiet place. It's hard to find a good place to sleep in without getting yourself in trouble.
Always when walking, I always get comments of how dirty I look, how a child is walking alone. I don't feel safe, I feel jealousy. I always see children with their parents. Why do I have to live alone? I am always skinnier, dirtier, uglier. I am never like the other children.
*Boom* a gunshot was fired, along with a scream not too far away.
I don't know about my life, I only know 3 things. The first thing is that my name is Tengan Tadao. The second thing is that I live in Japan. I don't know what city I live in, all I know is that the streets are dangerous, and the homes are safe. The third, and last thing I know is that I don't have any parents, I have lived my life alone for as long as I can remember, be it winter or summer.
I looked between the buildings of the houses, to find a good spot next to trash, where I can sleep for at least one more day. I don't worry about food, I worry about sleep. I have been taught that sleep is very important for kids, because I'm a kid, it is very important for me!
I walked in, it was tight, with a sewage opening and water on the side, just enough for me to not get wet. When I got to the garbage, I saw a..
"Dog!" I said proudly.
The dog woke up from its sleep and looked at me. It wad black, with a bit of brown. It has a bit of a broken tail, poor doggy!
"Dog has a broken tail, I will help you, dog!" I said with a smile and sat next to it.
The garbage bag was just big enough for both me and the dog.
"But.. before I help you dog.." I said while yawning.
"I have to.. sleep" I finished, closing my eyes and laying my head next to it.
I could feel warmth, I opened my eyes just enough to see it, and the doggy was also laying next to me. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arm around its head, to pet it.
I have seen other people pet their dogs before, so I must pet this dog too!
I opened my eyes again, the dog was sitting up, it was already day. I yawned.
"Good morning.. Doggy!" I said.
The dog looked at me with a bit of confusion, then started licking me.
"Ohh, Doggy!" I said while I chuckled.
I kept petting the dog, I must do what others do! I need to show them I am normal!
I stood up from the bag and looked up, the sun was shining bright.
"Hey kid!" I heard someone say.
"Good morning" I said before I stopped.
It was.. A bad guy!
"Hmph, you think he's good enough?" the bad guy said while looking behind him into the shadows.
"Yes, take him!" someone else said.
"Who do you have with you, bad guy?" I asked.
"Hmph" he said and took out a pistol.
The dog slowly walked next to me, he was angry.
"How about you taste some of this, kid!" he said and pointed the gun at me.
No, not guns! I am.. I AM SCARED! I know guns are scary, their sounds scare me! What am I going to do! I could feel myself crying.
"Haha, would you look at that, the kid is crying!" he said.
I kept crying, I was scared..
"Don't waste time Todou!" the guy hiding in the shadows said.
"Fine!" he answered.
Then, Doggy started barking, it started barking a lot. It started running up, to the bad guy!
