Alyssa P.O.V

She couldn't believe she had actually done that, but when she looked back at him, he was smiling. She slipped into her house and crept up the stairs, careful not to wake her father, or she would have even more bruises. When Alyssa reached her room she sighed. She changed into her P.J's and lay down on her bed. Her head was spinning. She closed her eyes and smiled, thinking of Akira, as she drifted off to sleep...
                       Early Morning
Alyssa yawned and sat up. It had been a week since she met Akira. She quickly got dressed for school and slid out of the house. She looked down at the pavement as she walked down her driveway, then she ran into someone.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I should be more careful!"
"Yes you should!" Her father's angered voice rang out.
Alyssa gasped.
"Where were you the other night night!" Her father yelled. She had managed to avoid her father since that night, but, she knew, one way or another, father would find her.
Alyssa whimpered, "With a friend,"
Her father got angrier, "YOU KNOW YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE HOME BY FIVE!"
Alyssa saw her father raise his hand and she shut her eyes.
"Hey, you, keep your hands off her!" She heard another familiar voice call.
"WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER!" Her father screamed at Akira. She dashed out from behind her father and into Akira's arms. He held her close to him protectively.
"This guy's your dad?" Akira asked holding Alyssa closer now. She buried her face in his chest and nodded. He turned, holding her hand, and ran beside her. Her father yelled, but didn't pursue them. After they reached the school, Akira turned to her,
"You don't have to stay in a place like that," he said.
"But I have nowhere else to go," she said, tears streaming down her face.
"You could stay with me," he offered.
Alyssa perked up and smiled.
"Really?" She asked, he nodded.
She wrapped her arms around him and whispered , "Thank you, you saved my life,"
"Yo, dude!" She heard a different voice call, this one she didn't recognize.
She buried her face in his chest again and tensed up.
"It's okay, Alyssa, this is Ryuji," Akira said. She looked up, only to hide again.
"You definitely weren't this shy with me," Akira laughed.
She looked up at the other boy again, he had bleach-blonde hair, and chocolate brown eyes. She still held onto Akira. It was true, she was normally quiet and shy, but Akira was different.
"Who's this?" The blonde asked.
Alyssa clutched Akira's waist.
Akira placed an arm around her, "This is Alyssa, Alyssa, this is Ryuji,"
"Hello," Alyssa said quietly.
Ryuji nodded to her, then looked at Akira.
"So, Dude, Are you ready to go back there or not?" He asked.
"Yeah, How about tonight?" Akira asked.
"Sounds good," said the blonde as he walked away.
"Where are you going?" Alyssa said. looking up at Akira.
"Just a place. Wait for me at the gates, okay, I won't be long,"
She nodded, but she intended to follow him, she wasn't going to let anything happen to him.

After School
Alyssa watched as Akira and that Ryuji boy left the school premises. Then, careful not to be seen by the two boys, followed. They walked into an ally and Akira pulled out his phone.
"Kamoshida, Pervert Teacher, Castle," Ryuji said.
Alyssa was confused, what was going on?
"Candidate found, Navigating route now,"
Suddenly, red ripples filled Alyssa's vision. When they faded, she was standing in front of a castle. Akira and Ryuji's appearances changed. Ryuji was wearing a skull mask and a thuggish outfit. Akira wore a long black coat and red gloves. He also wore a black and white mask. A cat-like creature stood at their side. They walked in and began to look around Alyssa followed them, somehow, without getting caught. They fought odd monsters, referring to them as 'Shadows'. They also referred to each other differently as well, Akira was Joker, Ryuji was Skull, and the cat was Mona. She decided that if she had to talk to them, she would call them by those names.
They kept walking until Mr. Kamoshida appeared, dressed like a king.

"Well then, Petty Thieves, are you back for more!"

"Hell ya! And we're gonna~" Ryuji shouted before getting cut off by the little cat monster.
"We're not ready to fight him yet, Skull,
For now, we should retreat and come up with a plan!" The cat said.
Akira nodded at the cat, "I agree."
They turned and ran to the exit, Alyssa tried to follow, but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. She wheeled around to see Kamoshida looking down at her with creepy, perverted, lust filled eyes. "Now who do we have here?," He asked, "Come with me little girl and we'll... have some fun."
Alyssa was terrified, her heart pounded and her eyes widened, she needed somebody to come and save her.

"AKIRA!!!!!!!"
