• I sighed as I kept one foot in front of the other. The four minute walk home from school was a total b***h on my feet. But there was no bus that passed through and Mom simply refused to drive. I rolled my eyes and kicked a pebble out of my way. Looking up to the sky, I saw that it was mostly cloudless. I came to a stop, lifted my hood from my head, and smiled.

    What a lovely day...Not a cloud in the sky...Only lavender stars...Wait a minute. Lavender stars? Headed right for me!

    As quickly as possible, I willed my body to move. I was able to dodge the oncoming light. There was a small crater in the ground when the dust cleared. In that crater was a sphere of lavender light. I poked it. Hey, what else was I supposed to do? What would you do? Yeah, you would poke it too.

    I poked it again and my finger went right through. Something grabbed my finger and before I knew it, I was floating in purple light. In front of me was the most beautiful being I had ever seen. Her hair was lightly curled and pure white. Her dress reached past her toes and white butterfly wings extended from her back.

    When I opened my mouth, bubbles came out. Quickly, I put my hands to it and clamped it shut.

    "It is okay. You can breathe in this place." she said.

    Bubbles erupted from her mouth as well, as her soft voice rang out in a slight echo.

    "Tenshi?" I asked.

    She smiled.

    "You are a smart girl. Yes, I am an angel. Kami sama has sent me to find the ninth generation of the Domoichi Clan." she said.

    I raised my left eyebrow.

    "My name is Tokiko Domoichi, but I don't know about a Clan..." I replied carefully.

    "I should have known. For nine generations, your family has protected the Earth from an organization titled Corporation. They have created a virus called "The Tomoe Virus". It takes over a human in the form of everyday objects. It is your duty to purify the human and track down Corporation. Once you have found them, you must purify them as well." she said in an understanding tone.

    I nodded my head. What the hell? Am I dreaming? Did I pass out in P.E.? Did I hit my head or something? The angel held out her hand and a black and white garter appeared in her hands. Around the garter there were different vials with different labels. She threw it to me and I caught it in my hands.

    "Use the vials to become the Warrior you are meant to be. But there are only thirty one, so use them wisely. They each only last up two ten minutes. So fight quickly. Good luck and may Kami sama be with you, Warrior Tokiko san." she said.

    In a sudden shock, I was in front of where was supposed to be a crater. Instead, there was a necklace with a brown string and an amethyst cradled by the wings of a silver butterfly. I picked up the necklace and shoved it into my pocket. It was then that I realized that I had a peice of cloth in my pocket. I bit my lip. IF it was the garter, would I really become this "Warrior Tokiko"?

    I traded the necklace for the cloth and pulled. Black and white lace came out of my pocket. Small vials surrounded it. It was the garter. And I was Warrior Tokiko.
