Chapter 1

It was a vivid morning, the street is full of car near the biggest mall around Tokyo. Kazuki and his buddy was shopping at the mall. They were walking out of a shop and one of his friend ask Kazuki a question.

"Hey Kazuki, why do you wear a scarf in the summer?" ask one of kazuki's friend confused.

" My grandfather give this to me before he died last week ago. " replied Kazuki.

After that, Kazuki and his friends continue walking. Suddenly Kazuki felt very sick like he was going to vomit. He quickly ran to the toilet, enter one of the toilet room, closed the door and vomited. After flushing the toilet, Kazuki opened the door and was shocked to see many tree.

"this can't be right?! I was in the mall not in this forest." said Kazuki to himself.

Kazuki closed the door again and took a breath and slowly open the door again. But no avail, he is still in the forest. Kazuki was frightened and exit the toilet and his shoes touched the ground.

Kazuki felt weird that he felt cold all of sudden and wore the scarf that he bought. He looked back and realised that the toilet has gone.

"no!! How can I go back to the mall?" cried Kazuki.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the bushes. After a few second an old man came out of the Bush and saw Kazuki.

"Hello there, why are you here?" asked the old man

"Hello, my name is Kazuki. I'm lost here, can you give me the direction of the grand plaza mall?" introduced Kazuki.

"What's that?" asked the old man again. "

" it's a mall near Tokyo. " explain Kazuki.

" What is a mall" asked the old man again.

"you don't know what a mall is?" shocked Kazuki.

"never had one of that place over here?" confused the old man.

"well, the mall is a place where there are many stores in a huge building." explained Kazuki.

"if you want to buy something, go to the east and you will find a market over there." said the old man while pointing a finger showing the east.

"well, thank you for the direction." said kazuki

"your welcome, now don't go here ever again this forest is very dangerous because there are many creature like Griffin and bears." warned the old man.

Without hearing the old man warning, Kazuki ran to the east without looking back. After 30 minutes of walking, Kazuki saw the market. There was many people walking around. Kazuki joined the crowd and suddenly blocked by a man.

" I'm very sorry, I should be seeing where I.." said Kazuki as he shocked to see the man face. The man looked like a half lion and a half human.

"you are a lion!?" scared Kazuki.

"What about it kid?" said the lion guy.

"I'm very sorry. Please forgive me I will not do that again. Please don't eat me." said Kazuki.

The lion stared at Kazuki and laughed.

"eat you? Haha hahaha! You are to skinny for my taste and I don't even eat human." laughed the lion guy.

Feeling embarrassed Kazuki ran and hide away. While running, he realised that some of the people are half animal, half human just like the lion guy. Kazuki found a place to hide and saw a young girl with dirty cloak eating rotten apple. With a courage left in him, he asked a question.

"are you okay?" asked Kazuki.

"I'm fine, thank you." answered the girl

"where are your parents?" asked Kazuki again.

"my mother died 5 years ago." answered the girl

"then, where is your dad?" asked Kazuki again.

"at home I suppose." answered the girl while shaking.

"can I help you get home?" smiled Kazuki while handing his hand to the girl.

"N.. No I can't. I just ran away 1 year ago." said the girl.

"you ran away!?" shocked Kazuki.

"after my mother died, my father became very bad. He always spank me with no reason and sometimes he will torture me with his belt." as she tell the story, the girl take off her cloak and revealed many scars at her body. Kazuki was shocked to see the scars.

"don't worry about me, I lived in the street about 2 years now. I always eat rotten fruit that I found at the dumpster every day." said the girl.

Suddenly, the girl collapsed to the ground. Kazuki was very shocked. Without any hesitation, Kazuki carried the girl and searched for a doctor. After a few minutes searching for a doctor. Kazuki shouted." help! A girl need a doctor. ". After that, the lion guy from before came to Kazuki.

"I'm a doctor." said the lion guy.

"she said that her father always abuse her." answered Kazuki with a worried face.

After a few check up, the lion told Kazuki her diagnosis.
