Yumiko.
Yumiko Othetakami is my name.

I live in a neatly sized village with a couple stores here and there, but, I live alone.

As I was walking home from ,school I managed to see an old woman being mugged. Before I get chance to think, I started running. I ran and ran until I took a leap and kicked the side of what seemed to be a man.

"Thank you young girl. I'm sorry, I must off." The lady said and left in a hurry."What to do, what to do..." I sigh to myself before looking away at the man, who is now laying on the ground.
I walk back to my bag, pick it up then continue on home.

I take off my shoes, put my stuff away, then walk towards the restroom. I slowly slide down in the tub. The only thing I hear is the steam flowing into my ear and my thoughts. Nerely drowning myself, I scoot myself back up.

"Finally, I get to be home for once. ...I should start my homework.... or feed that pup that keeps coming over..." I sink slowly into the water until my chest feels heavy.
I hear a scratch from outside the restroom window. A little fox sat upon the window.Knowing that Fox well enough, I grab a towel and let the fox in.

"Aww, you came by to say hi." I said out loud. The new nuzzled my feet, getting its black matted fur wet. I picked up the black fox, petting it, then drained the tub water.

I place a half-full bowl of fish on the floor for the fox to eat. The fox pounced for the food before I can even move my hand. I laugh. I flop on the bed with a thud. "More school tomorrow at Karanami High..." I thought to myself angrily.

"So...How'd Ya do it?" Said my friend, Mei. "How'd I do what?"I asked,"You know! Saved that lady!","I just kicked him." I said, walking to my desk. "Just kicked- Pffft, no way! That would have to be some powerful-ass kick to knock him out!" Mei stated. "I-"

The bell had rung. Everyone went to their seats, we said good morning to the teacher, then sat down.

The teacher introduced a new student to the class. And I swear I saw the horns of the devil on her.
