DATE:
JULY 1, 2017.

TWO CIVILIANS, HINATA AND NAOTO TACHIBANA, ARE KILLED ARE VICTIMS OF A CAR CRASH BY THE TOYKO MANJI GANG.

┕━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┙

001. | ✴︎ (...if you had the chance to change your life, would you? that's a question most people would probably answer with is yes. the problem is, would you take the correct steps to change your life? would you take the risk of having your dream job, getting over your deepest and darkest fear, leave the toxic people who control you in your life. if you're too scared to take the step, you won't move forward...)

Today was the same as usual for our heroine of the story, Aiko Fukumoto, who would wake up everyday of the week for her usual routine of making breakfast in her small but livable apartment, to eventually go to work as the early morning hours left her on high alert due to fatigue but luckily as it was the weekend; Aiko could sit down as she made herself a small plate of breakfast.

AIKO FUKUMOTO'S OUTFIT FOR THE CURRENT EVENT:

"Now that we're well into July, the weather in China is heating up and so the air pressure is starting bring that warmth our way. Already we're seeing overall temperatures higher than last year all across the country. The Kanto Koshinetsu area in the Tokai region will have clear sunny summery skies ahead and it will be hotter inland, so beaware if unexpected rainstorms in areas near the mountains, and that's it for the local weather"

As the weather forecaster was speaking formally and confidently, her voice beaming as Aiko boiled water from the kettle and pouring it for her morning coffee, making herself an omelette for breakfast, her hands meticulously whisking the eggs with chopsticks before pouring the egg mixture into the pan. A soft yawn fell from her lips as she struggled to keep her eyes open, her mind keeping her awake as she was drawing artworks in her sketchpad all night long and even creating small story ideas that she wouldn't let the world see but would be fun to just make.

"Now for a news break. The escalating dispute between the Tokyo Manji Gang and it's rivals is believed to have just claimed several additional innocent victims"

Heading the news, Aiko could remember briefly from her middle school years how the boys of the Tokyo Manji Gang were a big gossip for all the students. Every boy wanted to have themselves affiliated in the gang, to have their names big to earn respect from them and even to possibly be acknowledged by their leader, Manjiro Sano or who was also infamously known as the "Invincible Mikey".

"Official word is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, but the two of them have identified as Naoto Tachibana, twenty five, from Shibuya, Tokyo. And a victim also from Shibuya, Tachibana's older sister, Hinata Tachibana, twenty six years old. The police department is on high alert"

Hearing the name of the victims. Aiko Fukumoto felt time suddenly stopping, and so did her heart. 'Hinata Tachibana? Killed?'

Hinata Tachibana was a girl who was popular in her middle school, Aiko was also told that she was quite popular due to her looks and plus she was naturally outgoing. Yet, it wasn't her popularity that was loved by others but her general kindness and her willingness to stand up for what was right. The blonde girl remembered how in middle school, the two girls talked and became friends until high school came and they transferred to different schools, eventually losing touch with each other due to the different lives they lived.

The surreal reality of having a friend she was loved talking too, someone whose bright smile and optimistic personality made her life easier to live and endure, was now dead now and forever. Someone she used to walk to school with alongside her friends, someone who studied exams with and walked around the streets of Tokyo while sweets and clothes shopping together.

Aiko was silent, her lips apart before putting them back together. Her head low of a friend she hadn't seen in years, the coral hair that reflected her bright and kind personality, her doll like appearance that she found absolutely adorable, everything about her life was gone now other than a tragic legacy of being caught in the dispute of the Tokyo Manji Gang alongside her younger brother, Naoto Tachibana.

The early morning slipped away, leading Aiko away from the peaceful time that passed too quickly for her own liking, now here she was back in her workplace in an office job which she hated. The boring paperwork as an admin assistant, while it was a useful job and skill she had to admit but she been also tasked in grabbing coffee for her coworkers and food from different bakeries and food chains.

AIKO FUKUMOTO'S CURRENT OUTFIT FOR THE WORK:

Aiko winced softly feeling the edge of her shoes dig into the back of her foot. She mentally scolded herself, she knew bringing these shoes to work was a mistake wearing the heels she hated so much, yet she had forgotten how the beautiful shoes brought her so much pain during the long hours of work; yet it was too late to turn back now.

Her footsteps were hurried, delivering the coffee and hot beverages to her older male colleagues and coworkers likings along with the food they ordered on delivery or which she had picked up herself in her free time.

"Ah thank you Fukumoto", one of her male coworkers who had a fair build with black hair in a slick hairstyle looked at her with a haughty smirk as his dark eyes seemed to be focused on her backside.

"It's no problem sir", Aiko answered with a polite nod in return, initially not noticing his stares towards her backside.

"Eh Fukumoto-San, seems like you're looking tense. If you want I can loosen you up", another one of the men of the office spoke up, Aiko froze up slightly seeing a man older and respected by the younger man of the office walking towards her, his hair thinning on his head as his larger in fat than muscle that struggled to fit into his dark brown business walked towards her from behind with a sleazy smile.

Aiko stepped away before he could get any closer to her, "Uh, thank you but that's not necessary, Koyanagi", she answered his question quite firmly but politely with a nervous smile, placing his coffee on his desk along with his breakfast croissant which he ordered on delivery from their local bakery.

"Ah Aiko sweetheart", the man tried to speak in a softer voice as he stepped closer to her, "You don't have to be so formal, you may call me Noburu", his hand moved to where her own was, his thicker fingers slipping closer to her own slender ones but in return Aiko was quicker, taking away her hand from his touch.

"No, I'm sorry but that is outside of my professional status", she answered, stepping away to give out the coffees and other food ordered to the other workers with the speed she could muster.

The blonde woman raced through the office before she reached her own desk sitting down. Aiko quickly took off her shoes, bento no down as she took bandages from her pockets that she fortunately carried around and applied them to the back of her feet where the blisters were forming, she slowly eased her feet back into her shoes before she held her head low in her hands, her bright blue eyes looking down at her desk filled with paperwork that piled for days and days that she needed to manage.

Her hands carefully assorted the papers, trying to silence the chatter that went from cubicles to cubicles from her coworkers. She could hear a few amongst them chattering, one was a man she served who was staring her down, Takanami, and another man who had who was in his fourties' wearing a business suit and his black hair was greased back to look professional, but in all honesty it looked tacky. He looked like someone who would cat call women on the streets while driving and he definitely gave Aiko an uneasy feeling.

"Ah, while Kumanagi is very beautiful, she's got that thinness most women don't have, Fukumoto definitely has all the curves. I definitely know her ass would bounce if a man fucks her nicely", Takanami spoke to his cubicle mate, the man not younger than five years than Nishihara, the man in his fourties.

Nishihara laughed a little too obnoxious, "Well she's just got that good body you see through her clothes no matter what, hell I would enjoy it if she came to work more often with her skirts and her button up shirts. Maybe I should get her to reach higher on higher shelves to jump, then I can tell if her bra size is a Double or Triple D", Nishihara spoke in a hushed tone to Takanami, both of them chuckling heartedly at their discussions.

Unfortunately for them, Aiko heard the whole discussion, the blonde woman felt nauseated in hearing this and how they viewed her. Yes, she had dealt with cat calling professionally from them in the past but she had gotten used to it, but hearing how they were speaking about her now it made her feel sick.

Aiko had always made sure to go to work wearing clothes, nothing too provocative or something that would be deemed "inappropriate", unfortunately for her, no matter what outfit, her curves would always be accentuated and flaunted. Her breasts, bottom and her hips would make any clothing she wished to make sexual which is what she often hated. It irked her greatly, no matter what she did.

Talk to the men herself about the discomfort they gave her, report them to HR (which often she was ignored), change her clothes, they would never stop trying to talk her into sleeping with them, stop commenting on her body, and all of their disgusting acts, plans and fantasies. It was a horrible feeling.

She wanted to quit this job and never come back, but this was the only place she could go to for now and if she quit, she would have no other job to go for short notice. All she could do for now was what she always did, stay quiet and endure it.

Today was a long day for Aiko, much longer as she felt her headache from hours that day on paperwork and in front of her computer booking meetings for her boss and her coworkers, making orders for food, coffee and much more.

Aiko had taken her chance to leave the office as soon her as boss left the building, not looking back before she would come home in the very late afternoons. She didn't have time to do any chores around the house because of her busy weeks at the office, yet she would keep her place clean as possible with the energy left in her body. This daily routine was a draining and tiresome process, yet she had no choice but to bear with it. She chose to live with this life, now she must reap what she sewed. How could she change a life she screwed up badly by herself and her cowardly decisions?

Reaching the comfort of her home, the blonde woman kicked off her heals as soon as she reached the door steps, sighing in relief as she walked in. Aiko started setting down the groceries she bought last minute for the weekend and to double her luck, there wasn't much that she bought at the store besides the fruits and vegetables she actually liked eating, some rations of meat and fish and small quantities of dessert. There would be little for her to eat the weekend but it was okay, she didn't need to eat much anyway because she didn't want to get too fat as others commented in the past.

Aiko felt herself release a sigh of relief as she could have this moment of freedom for herself, preparing herself a small quantity of dinner for her hunger to calm for the night. Sitting on the couch to eat her measly sized dinner, the golden blonde haired woman grabbed the tv remote that laid idly on the coffee table and started to turn on the TV, changing the channels to find a good show for herself to watch and

Sitting on the couch, the blonde woman grabbed the remote and started to turn on the TV, changing channels to find a good show for herself to watch, let herself relax while she could.

Her finger pressing on the remote's buttons, changing the channels over and over, her teeth sinking into her dinner she finished within seconds yet her stomach was still unsatisfied. This made her feel irritable as she continued switching the channels, until the news that caught Aiko's eyes about a name she hasn't heard in years.

"Tonight we start the news of the Benzaiten Rings Girl gang, a rumored gang of only female members has turned from protests of equal rights to a turn of a mass murder", the news anchor woman spoke on the television.

Aiko's crystal blue hues widened slightly hearing this. The Benzaiten Rings girl gang was quite popular when she was in middle school, it was said that they went through protests in high school, slandering names of men who did bad things to girls and young women, fought for equal rights for men and women, even in schools where they defamed the names of boys who did horrible actions to others. Now one of them was wanted for mass murder, it was a scary thought for Aiko but a normal thought for most people.

"The Leader of the Benzaiten Rings gang, Li Na Chen, is a suspect of the mass murder of twelve civilians with the added major and minor injuries of thirty three civilians in Shibuya Loft in a bombing incident implanted in a delivery truck", on the television screen, the news lady showed a picture of the supposed gang leader.

A girl with long red hair tied in a low ponytail as half of her face was hidden with a mask, but her dark colored eyes holding only an hatred and anger that wished to set the world ablaze, to feel her wrath that burned within her veins. Her outfit was a black dress with black ripped leggings and black combat boots. This girl had everything screaming about her "Feared Gang Leader: Do Not Anger".

"One of the civilians caught in the murder was named Tsukiko Mikami, who attempted to warn about the bombings but unfortunately her concerns were brushed aside by authorities", the news anchor woman continued speaking of the devastating news and tragedy, but Aiko's ears nearly because deaf from the news.

She heard about the name feared Benzaiten Rings gang leader, Li Na Chen. They were the same age in middle school and Aiko only heard rumors about her and her friend group in the girl gang, they were known as "crazy" for their protests and such. But Aiko was curious about them, she wanted to see how their gang operated. Yet, she was only a shadow amongst the crowd, they wouldn't notice her. It was rumored only those who caught Li Na Chen's eye would even have an ounce of her attention, even having a sliver of it according to others mean you were extremely lucky.

DATE:
JULY 4, 2017.

A DISCOVERY BEYOND MANKIND ARISES.

┕━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┙

Sweet like honey. Dangerous as the thorns guarding the cherry blossoms fields hidden in her heart, ruined by blood that spoiled her petals and sunny days that once reflected from her beauty. Sakura Momobami now rules over Tokyo, a blood hand that holds the trigger and the dagger at her enemies throats while her empire at her knees, ready to go to war for her.

Her hair colored with the pink sunsets enriched by the setting suns radiance, bright amethyst siren eyes sharp enough to cut her enemies in the deadliest temptations of seduction in power and blood lust and her lips taste sweet of cherries for those lucky enough to even get a kiss or sweet soft words that can be spoken to them, melted into a puddle while her honeyed words will leave you craving for more of her delicacy.

Her hands now soft for her lover, for the man and the woman she will fight to protect, to care for. A soft touch from hands of bloodshed to those who deserved it, yet only reserved for two she would touch their hearts and mend it with ceramic golden lines of her kisses and her love.

She proves her strength by ruling her gang with wisdom and strength, her hand grips her katana as she fights alongside her comrades.

Aiko's eyes could barely leave the page of the book as she continued reading through the prologue of a new novel known as "Saccharine" written by a new author named Yasuha Kimura-Lewis. People have written mixed reviews of her book, hating how she paired her with both a man and a woman due to their conservative views but others loved how she was open minded, which Aiko agreed with the latter.

AIKO FUKUMOTO'S CURRENT OUTFIT ON THE TRAIN RIDE:

The golden blonde haired woman was sitting aboard the train to go to the mall to enjoy the day for herself for the weekend, maybe a day of shopping new shoes for work would cheer her up and improve her week and even taking an opportunity to have some time for herself to have fun was a good idea for her. Although most civilians were told to avoid Tokyo city as it is where the explosion caused by Li Na Chen occurred, and Aiko followed in pursuit of the rules from the authorities of the police.

Aiko kept her focus on her novel, standing up to give her seat to an elderly woman who could barely stand properly. She grabbed upon a metal railing and her soft crystal blue hues continued carefully reading the words of her book that she was a little too engrossed in. She loved Sakura Momobami already, the protagonist probing herself to be compelling and complexly written, if she was real Aiko would've been terrified of her but also loved to be her friend in her junior high years.

As her focus stayed on her book, she didn't notice the speed of the subway train increasing. No, not until she felt herself stumble a bit on her feet.

Aiko's feet wearing her white flat shoes stumbling as the metal ground of the train once steady now started to shake. Seeing not only did this impact her as she gripped her hand bag after putting her novel in it, Aiko turned to see the civilians had also stumbled on the floor and seats, some even falling to the floor from the impact of the speed that grew more intense.

The fearful mutters and whispers of the passengers echoed in Aiko's ears.

"Hello? What's going on?", Aiko asked the civilians around her, also herself as her head turned to each side, her crystalline blue eyes scanning the area around her shakily as she held the metal railing of the train. The speed of the bullet train started to pick up its speed rapidly, Aiko heart catching up in greater speed as it was beating in pure fear and panic.

Her other hand clutched her hand bag to her chest not only to keep her items safe but also because she had no one to hold in this fearful and dangerous time while the other gripped on the metal railing so she wouldn't fall over.

Civilians were screaming and shouting in fear as others were pushing around each other or helping strangers or people close to them from falling or stumbling on the ground.

"Oh no! We're going to crash!", a woman screamed fearfully.

"What's going on? Who's driving this?"

"We're going to die!"

The sheer fear and terror of not only the civilians of the train but also her own, paralyzed Aiko Fukumoto. She was beyond the point of the inability to move. No scream came from her mouth, nor any word of fear nor terror. It was trapped in her throat as the palm of her hands started to sweat, loosening her grip on the railing she was so desperately trying to hold on.

She looked around, the world blurry as she watched civilians run lights flickering on and off that made her feel light headed as she was sensitive to light. Everyone on the train was panicking, trying to find the emergency exit of the train or screaming out for help of any hope for someone to hear them while others just like her, also paralyzed in fear and terror. Even if Aiko didn't want to believe it, their situation was hopeless, she along with others were truly going to die.

The abnormal speed and the misdirection of the subway was going into a completely different direction. A construction sight in one of the railway tracks of Shibuya Station.

The light blurred Aiko's eyes, she squeezed her hues shut as she clutched her hand bag close to her body.'No. Am I really going to die? Is this really how it will end for me?' Aiko asked herself, tears welling up in her closed eyes.

There was so much she wanted to do but never gathered the courage to do so, not like she had much left anymore. But it wouldn't have really hurt to try. Going to see her mother again, to talk to her, to apologize for everything that's happened. To talk to Hinata Tachibana before her death. To stand up to her stepmother in her adult years even if she hasn't seen her in years. To tell those men at the office that she will no longer be their show girl to serve them coffee and food and to hopefully kick them in their family jewels so they wouldn't provide offspring to inherit their shameful behavior and personalities. The things she wanted to do the most but never did, now truly were out of her reach.

Now that she thought of it. Did she truly have dreams and ambitions at all? Who was she really before she turned into this permanently blank slate?

She couldn't really remember. Her meaningless bland life, flashing before her eyes, squeezed shut so she wouldn't witness the horror of her death right before her very being.

The life of Aiko Fukumoto, was now over. Permanently. But no one said, that a new beginning wasn't about to start.

(...the death of her old life and the start of her new beginning, as a caterpillar will turn into a cocoon to rest and rejuvenate before turning into a butterfly to fly with its new wings and abilities, she will soon bloom as a beautiful butterfly. all she can do now, is take the cards that is thrown to her and choose how to play the hand, learn to make the right choices for herself and to others around her...)✧.*✴︎*ೃ༄ | .001.
