-I ran as fast as I could, But it wasn't enough. He was gaining and I was losing breathe fast. I tripped. Of all times, I freakin' tripped. It was over. I rolled onto my back, and in the night I saw his two red eyes appear in front of me-

I woke up badly, as I would any other morning I suppose. I don't sleep very well. Especially not lately. I kept on waking up in the middle of the night. I felt like I was being watched. But anyway, I dragged myself out of bed and tripped. Fell flat on my face. Ouch. My brother Kaoru [1] laughed. " Clumsy much little sis? " he chuckled as he helped stop the flow of blood from my nose before our adopted father saw. No such luck.

" 'Sup Yao [2], " Kaoru cooly greeted our father as he entered the kitchen. Yao didn't approve.
" Kaoru I told you n- " he paused as his gaze directed over to me and my half screwed up nose. He did not at all look pleased. " And what exactly happened to you? " He growled something under his breath. Still making breakfast the whole time.

" Why are you two even up? " He asked us.
" Dunno why she set the alarm clock[3]. " Kaoru smiled. Of course. It was a holiday. I'd forgotten all about it. I blushed, embarrassed. I haven't gotten used to the differences of countries. Being adopted by Yao was hard.

Pretty soon Im Yong Soo[4] and Mei[5] were up. Along with Kiku[6], and the rest of my 11 adopted siblings ( Yao seriously adopted us all ) were up. " Good morning Jie jie[7], " I kindly chirped to Mei who in return smiled.

" Good morning to you too! " She smiled as she sat down next to me. " Guess what me you and Kaoru are doing today? " She asked in a silly voice.
" I don't know, What? "
" We're going shopping in Hong Kong! " She screeched with delight.

I won't describe the shopping trip with my Jie jie, and big brother, But it was truly memorable. A few key things happened though that might come handy to know in future.
i.) We got lost
ii.) I got a katana
iii.) We forgot to eat

-I walked into the house, all around me were screams and darkness-

i.) We got lost
ii.) I got a katana
iii.) We forgot to eat
iv.) Big brother bought me a traditional Chinese outfit.

We were lost. I was tired and ready to give up, so was Kaoru. But Mei? No. Mei was determined to get us home.

I stuck close to my siblings. I had a feeling we were in a pretty BAD part of town. Kaoru clutched my arm, pulling me closer as we passed what seemed like millions of staring, hungry, dirty, homeless and pyscopathic people. Kaoru grunted as he shoved people to get through. Then he stopped.

" Kaoru why- " I began to ask. Kaoru's gaze was fixed on a misty path ahead. A lone figure with a hat seemed to block it. His cold hard stare locked on us, he was spinning a cleaver in his hand. I felt Kaoru move closer, To my ear. He whispered " When I go up and talk to that man, You push him and run. Ok? ". I didn't know what to think, except for one thing. This man resembled my father in so many ways.

- I picked up the bloodstained hat and put it on my head. I swore to find him, and kill him.-

Kaoru walked bravely forward. He walked up to the man, Who had stopped spinning his cleaver in his hand. My brave brother looked him in the eyes and uttered three little words that would change my life. " Who are you? "

The red eyed man cackled and inched forward. The streetlamps began to turn on. The sun had left. My only protector. As I glanced at him, He caught my eye. He grinned. " You have a pretty girlfriend. " He laughed. I stepped back as he eyed me. " She's my sister, not my girl friend. She's also single and - " Kaoru stared. His pause'caused by the absense of the stranger. Alarmed, he grabbed my arm and began walking. " I may of accidently just have let out too much info. "
" Ya think? "
" Sorry. "
" Who was that anyway? " I asked. He didn't answer, but the question echoed throught the hills.

Great story! This is really cool.

I didn't see any mistakes.
The cover up for Tbc was hilarious. And it's simply really cool.

I'd give three thumbs up, but I only got two! d--b

I gasped as a figure stood once more in the path. I could see him clearly now, as his eyes glued themselves to me. " She's pretty, " He grinned. He was Yao's height, But shorter black hair with a short ponytail. He wore the same traditional Chinese shirt, but his chest was more exposed. His pants were a smokey dark grey. Almost black. He had on black boots, but bandages or some white tape came up to his knee. He had a hat. On it, was a star, a ribbon of red behind it. The rest was black. But his eyes....

*Kaoru's P.O.V*
" Excuse me sir, " I started " I must ask you to move. " I saw his shoulders shift. I knew he was radying himself with a weapon. A cleaver. I pulled my best friend, or my little sister as you know her, behind my back. " Aw aru, Why hide her? I don't bite " he taunted. He began to move foward as mist began to shroud the moon.

*Kaoru's P.O.V *
I froze in his eyes. The unatural red glow startled me. I couldn't move. " Big brother? Kaoru? " My Mèimei frantically pulled on my sleeve. " Mèimei stay perfectly still. " I tried to calm her, but I wasn't exactly what you call calm at that point.

* My P.O.V (normal) *
The man stopped short not even a foot away from us. His cherry red eyes setteled upon me. His smile as wide as the sea itself. " Ni hao aru. How are you? " He asked in a sugary sweet voice. It made me feel sick. He grip tightening on his butcher's knife. I saw the moon's reflection in it. And my own.

I stepped back. He advanced and grasped my hand and roughly pulled me back up. " Owwwwwwwww. " I moaned. He grinned. Kaoru flinched at that. He simply growled " Nice to meet you. We will be going. " And pulled me along.

* Kaoru's P.O.V *
I dragged her for 20 minutes ; to me it felt hours. I just wanted to get ways away from that creep. No one hits on my Mèimei and lives.

* My P.O.V *
I screeched loudly as I hit the dirt. I cried out. For the second time today, My nose exploded with blood. I heard Kaoru scream profanities in Chinese and the fighting noises. A couple of grunts. Sick crunching noises. Then silence.

Silence. It rang through the air as I attempted to roll over off my belly. It hurt, but I managed it. What I saw then, I didn't like at all. Kaoru was crumpled into the ground. Blood spilling everywhere. His innocent crimson blood. I choked back my tears, which burned my eyes. My brother was dead, and that man had killed him.
