Unveiling Secrets

sakura sakura, the blooming season was there, and petals gently fell drifting through the air, falling on the window of a young girl, who was gently brushing her hair. Noticing one of the pebbles reminded her that the world is still moving, but its colors have faded. 

 Those were the words of a young spy whose sight was too immersed within the darkness to notice any kind of brightness. 

"Kotoko, time to leave for school" 

"Coming" 

"See you mom" she said staring at her mother's picture, before looking at another one "See you too my love" she added 

"Kotoko" her father insisted 

"Here I just opened the door" she said before coming down-stair 

"You got be more responsible Kotoko, school is no joke you know?" he said as she was wearing her shoes, ready to leave. 

"Aren't you going to have breakfast?" he asked

However, without a moment's hesitation, Kotoko swiftly seized his arm and effortlessly tossed him to the ground—a reflex ingrained in her. Recognizing the unintended aggression, she promptly regretted her actions and offered a sincere apology as she extended a helping hand to lift him back up. 

"I am so sorry Kin-chan, I didn't mean to hurt you" 

"Ugh, it is fine, I should have been more careful myself" he said after dusting himself up 

"By the way where did you learn those moves? I never thought that you had that kind of strength" 

"Well I just saw that move on TV, an expert in martial art explained how it was possible to throw away anybody with that kind of technique" 

"Well I never heard of such program" 

"He is a foreigner who made a special appearance in a late morning show, he is famous in the Us"
