A thundering storm hovers over a battle between two great spiritual beings. Referred to by the people of Japan - Yลkai. Trees faltered and fell at every punch, and the Earth shook with every step they took. Deep craters were embedded into the world's crust, resulted by the immeasurable power the Beings wielded. It appeared to be the end of the world, with so much chaos and havoc. Countless lives; lost, and the air reeked of the foul scent of death. Yet it was just the beginning.

It was a beautiful night, to silently appreciate the starry skies. Most especially in on the urban city streets, whereas though it was crowded - It felt as if they don't exist. Be it the roar of engines, the loud horns. Or the countless unknowns that are produced by the city life. The young girl just simply couldn't be bothered. Her peripheral visions were blurry, and the motions of movement by nearby pedestrians went unnoticed. As all of her attention was directed at the Glassy Sky above.

Letting a sigh escape, it formed a vaporized smoke. After a few moment spent idly by, standing still as she watched it disappear. She began to walk after having decided it was about time to head home, seeing as tomorrow would be the last class before vacation would be an open door.

Reaching the phone stored deep in her pant's pocket, she pulled it to her ear as she answered. "Hello?" Compared to her volume and tone, the reply was loud and worried. "Sasha! Where the hell are you?!" Instinctively, she pulled it far away from her ears. 'Who thought the need in installing a speaker in a call was smart?' 'My poor ear doesn't need it.' Shaking away the annoyance that slowly but surely began to boil, she replied. "Out for fresh air." A short blunt answer to a overly worried mother was not entirely the best approach. "We talked about this countless times! J-just come back, and no you're not getting out of my earful lecturing. Don't even think about it."

Groaning in defeat, she nodded her head.

Hearing her name in a distance, she stopped on her tracks and turned to have a look. "Sasha! Sasha! C'mere and give your cute childhood friend a hug!" Affected by past trauma, her feet began to pedal to the metal. But, it only drove the dark haired girl the thrill to give chase. Mix between giggles and shrieks, Sasha gave her reasons on why she wouldn't want to be locked in a embrace by her best friend Irelia. "Your arms are going to squeeze me till my eyes pop out of my socket like those of a cartoon character!" "Noo! I promise I won't kill you. Just to the point you're on the edge of life and death."

A Monster. That was who she had spent her childhood with. An evil bitch, that she was. "No!" Was all she could had screamed before being tackled. Fit of endless laughter came from the girls laid on the green grass. Highly sensitive, it gave Irelia a huge advantage. Tickling was her ultimate weapon. "Do you yield, and allow me to crush you by hugs?" Defeated, she used the last of her oxygen to yell out 'Yes fucking yeah.'

Squeals erupted from the woman who gave a crushing killing blow. "I knew you couldn't resist my hugs. Come to Papa!" Feeling the need to say a word to irritate the goofy bright shining girl Irelia, Sasha retaliated. "Sorry you have daddy issues."

Stands in a podium was a Professor who specialized in history. And, currently is on the topic of one of Japan's popularized period of Samurais. The period - Sengoku Jidai. The class continued on without Sasha's interest. But, only until the mention of the ลŒnin War. Ears perked up, as she was pulled in. "The Sengoku period was initiated by the ลŒnin War in 1467, which collapsed the feudal system of Japan under the Ashikaga Shogunate."

In most lessons, Sasha would just pout like an uncultured kid, waiting for a candy to be dropped. But in her case, she just wanted a interesting topic that could swoop her from her mood. And, this was it.

With clutched hand, he brought it to his mouth and coughed. "However, sometimes what is written can never be truly be fully trusted." In quick to disperse the mood he had set, he energetically handed out the pre-prepared assignments he had. Disapproval groans filled the auditorium. "Can't have you all going lazy over the bliss of Autumn. Especially you Tyler." He joked to one of the student.

Exiting through the doors, Irelia held onto Sasha's arm putting her to a stop. "I heard from your mom you were out again. Penny for your thought?" Before the girl could vent, she was interrupted. "Also I know you may think your mom is overprotective. But she's doing it for you because she cares." Dropping her head low in shame at the truth, she admitted. "I-i know.. I'll apologize to her."

"Atta' girl!" Shoved forward due to the hard pat on her back, she glared at the girl who innocently just smiled. "Oh, want to grab a coffee before heading home?" Without a second wasted, she agreed. "Sure love them huh. More than me?" Ignoring whatever the woman had to say, Sasha just couldn't wait for a cup of hot warm coffee.
