Oh wow......my very first story! Well, original story. I write mostly fanfiction, so this is the first time I've got an original story all typed up and everything.

Chapter One: Taking Flight

November 25th, 2008 – Tokyo, Japan

It had been in planning for a few months, too, and now…

“Well, Anzu, anywhere but here,” Shizuka said, guiding her little sister out of the area. Soon, they’d made it to a busy Tokyo street, and Shizuka allowed Anzu to rest for a bit.

“How long is it going to be before we don’t have to run anymore?” Anzu asked.

“I really don’t know, little sister.”

“Onee-sama, how did you put this all together? It must have been hard.”

“That, Anzu, is a very good story.”

“So?”

“Well…”
