The sunlight streamed through the blue curtains. It was warm and radiant, greeting the girl in the bed as she slowly woke up.

Kitsune rubbed her eyes, yawning. Her sky blue hair was a mess from sleeping, and her yellow eyes were still foggy from the dream she just had.

She dreamt she was falling, and someone was calling out her name. She didn't recognize the voice, but she woke up the moment before she hit the ground.

Sitting up in her bed, she looked at the light that was pouring in.

She wasn't dead, that was a relief.

A soft knock came from her door.

"Kitty", her mother called through the thin wood, "Hurry up. You're going to be late."

"Coming, Mom."

It was Kitsune's first week back in her home country of Japan. Her family had just returned from America, where she had been living most of her life.

It was odd being in Japan. She would have to go by her last name now instead of Kitsune. Or Kitty for short. And she would now have to get used to having an American accent.

Kitsune rolled out of bed, stretching her wings out behind her as she stood up.

Her wings, a pair of delicate translucent butterfly wings, glimmered in the morning sunlight.

"Time to get ready for school, I guess", she said to herself.

She walked over to the closet and pulled out her new uniform. She was going to be attending UA; a school for heroes in training.

Her mom greeted her as Kitsune came down the stairs.

"Are you ready?", she asked, her own pair of bright green wings flapping in excitement. Kitsune ran her thin fingers through her hair, braiding it.

"Almost", the girl replied, "Have you seen my glasses?"

Her mom handed her the round spectacles from the counter, and Kitsune slipped them over her nose.

"How do I look?"

The woman gave Kitsune a quick look-over and told her she looked great.

Kitsune exhaled heavily.  She didn't like being the new girl; it was stressful.

But she had to deal with it.

And that's what she told herself as she grabbed a muffin and walked out the door.
