It was only the first day, but she was already in trouble.

Ishida Andini, the girl's name. A girl with long hair. An Indonesian-Japanese girl, who has just returned to Japan, after three years she lived in Indonesia, in her Mother's country. From birth to sixth grade, Andini lived in Japan, in her Father's country. Then, her father was transferred to Indonesia and now he was transferred back to a company in Japan. But, just a day after she set foot in Japan, she was already in trouble.

More precisely, she was looking for trouble.

Andini is not like most girls. She is beautiful but she is far from feminine. That girl is a tomboy. She is strong. She likes to defend justice. Her dream as a child was to become Sailor Moon, the hero in sailor clothes who defends justice in the name of love.

"Hey! Stop, you damn girl!"

The scream made Ishida Andini turn her head. She snorted and glared at the three men chasing her.

"You stupid people! Do you think I'll stop if you tell me to stop?!" Andini exclaimed in a fierce tone. Then, because she wasn't too focused, Andini tripped over a nearby pebble and fell. The girl hissed from the pain in her knee, then looked up. Right in front of her, there is a towering staircase. She could also see the gate leading to the shrine that she used to see on television shows.

"Hey!"

The scream made Andini click her tongue and hastily got up. She didn't mind the pain in her knee. Andini ran up the stairs and when she was at the top of the stairs, the girl froze and widened her eyes. That sound. A very familiar voice. The sound she missed so much. The sound also changed her life as well as ruined her life.

Tsurune. The sound of a bowstring as it releases an arrow.

Realizing that there was no time to linger over the past, Andini ran again. She saw a small sign saying "Yata No Mori Kyudo Hall'' on a building beside her. Then, the tsurune's sound grew louder, making Andini grit her teeth and clenched her fists. Andini could see an adult's waist-deep fence made of bamboo, making her immediately turn and jump over the fence. She kept running, coinciding with the release of an arrow from her left side.

"Watch out!"

The exclamation made Andini stop running and turn around. Her light brown eyes widened as the arrow flew toward her. She wanted to dodge, but her legs felt heavy instead. The arrow then scratched her white cheek and stuck the target in the distance right in the middle. Andini stared at the target board with a sharp gaze, then turned to the direction the arrow had been fired.

And meeting the blue eyes of a handsome man wearing a hakama. The man's hair was the same color as his eyes and he was holding a bow. The man's blue eyes widened as he stared at her. Maybe because Andini's eyes are so sharp and can see far away, she can realize it. The night wind blew, dropping the leaves from a large tree that was nearby.

"There she is! That damn girl is over there!" shouted one of the three men, who had been chasing Andini.

"Tch! They're still after me," grumbled Andini. The girl ran toward Kyudo Hall and jumped up.

"Hey! That's very impolite! You—"

"I'll borrow this for a moment," Andini interrupted quickly. She grabbed the bow in the man's hand and grabbed the arrows that were nearby. Then, she got into a stance and aimed her bow and arrow at the three men, who were already in the Kyudo range. The three of them stopped and froze. "You guys still want to chase after me? You guys want to feel what it feels like to be shot by this arrow?"

"Stop joking! You're just a brutal girl! There's no way you could use that tool."

Andini smirked when she heard the ridicule. "Do you want me to try it right now to see if I can use this tool or not? Hmm?"
