The Forgotten Tale

Book 1, The Forgotten Tale

Chapter 1

Hajimi Yamato glared off into the distant horizon. He'd never been to earth before- As disgusting and absolutely polluted it was, you have to admit that it did have some good views. The heat of the glowing sun bestowed upon him. 'Sunday 2nd of May' he reminded himself as he eyed each car that drove by eagerly.

"This is so boring! The Higher Ups sent me here, and said that my roommate was picking me up! And here I am, sitting around, looking like an idiot!... this is so embarrassing...-" He quietly complained to himself. Just as he finished his sentence, a small black car with small pops of deep red pulled up in front of him.

After a bit of chatter to clarify Hajimi wasn't being kidnapped, Hajimi got in the backseat and they drove off. There was so much about earth that made Hajimi uneasy. He had to find her as soon as possible...

If it were to result in the higher ups sending more guards, she would be in terrible danger- Of course Hajimi doubted this would happen, he was the best in his team after all! 'I'll find her in no time!' he thought.

The car came to a sudden jolt, his roommate turned and pulled down his sunglasses. "Hajimi, we're here." he says, and then turns and gets out of the car. After a short moment, so did Hajimi.

The Next Day, Monday 3rd of May.

Kimiko Ryota yawned as the blazing sun shone in her tired eyes. She didn't want to get out of bed, she was far too exhausted. But despite her lack of energy, when she heard a small stone slam against her window, she heaved herself up.

"OI! GET OUT OF BED! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Mia yelled out as Kimiko peared out the window to investigate. Kimiko is a 16 year old girl, along with her best friend Mia Aban (who recently had her 17th birthday last month)! They have been best friends for as long as Kimiko could remember.

After getting ready and dressed, she takes a quick glance in the mirror. Kimiko's minty green hair was the usual, tied up in short and cute pigtails that only made it slightly past her shoulders. Her red eyes stunning as usual, with kindness in them.

Of course, Kimiko didn't see any of this in herself. She brushed out her messy bangs, and sighed as she looked in the mirror. If it wasn't for Mia, the guys in class would pick on her for her small and tiny nature. Kimiko hated how short she was. She scratched at the scar on her right hand, she's had it her whole life- she always asked the same question, how did she get it?

Kimiko ran out, skipping breakfast. And ran into Mia who caught her before she could trip on herself. Mia helped her up to her feet- She looked at her, as usual she looked beautiful;

She has long white straight hair going down to her waist. It contrasted her slightly tan skin. Her blue eyes were so gentle and comforting- , they glimmered in the sun as Mia laughed at Kimiko's clumsiness. Kimiko always thought that Mia didn't need makeup, although it was only light- So she didn't complain.

The two girls began walking to school. "Hey girl! Have you heard about the new student? I heard he's super hot~" Mia laughed enthusiastically while nudging Kimiko slightly.

"Looks aren't everything, Mia- Buuuut maybe he's a super nice guy!" Kimiko replies sweetly as she places her hands on her face, slightly red from the thought.

As they approach school Mia wraps her arm around Kimiko's shoulders. "That's something only you could say, bestie-" Laughing with a soft sigh.

Kimiko pauses for a second, unsure of what she means. Although, she just assumes it's a metaphor and ignores it.

The two girls after entering the tall multistory building, exchange their farewells, and head to their own classes. The school was large and complicated, and needed maps to get around. Despite this, it was still clean and organised.
