Within the Kansei region of Japan, it is a bright sunny June day in the forest outside of the city, Shinrinseiki, known for being the city that's one with nature. The forest consists of tons of tree with luscious green leaves on the tree branches with the sun showering its light through the small holes from between the leaves. Wildlife from all around are in peace with birds chirping, frogs croacking from nearby rivers and creeks, and deers galloping through the woods. Inside said forest is a young 14 year old amber-haired girl named Sachiko Tekashi. Her appearance consists of short amber hair with an ahoge at the top. One of her bangs have a white hair band wrapped around it. Her eyes are as green as grass. Around her neck consists of a white bead necklace. On her back is a black backpack with her essentials for her travels. Her blouse is red with white highlights white buttons, and a white tie on the collar with a white. Below are white pants, two bladed chakrams around her waist on both sides as they're attatched to a black belt, and red shoes on her feet. "Man.. What a beautiful day today." She said as she looks up at the clear blue sky and took a deep breath.

She exhales as a small breeze went by. The breeze was calm and cool as it hits Sachiko's face. "On days like these, it's a good idea to get out and have some fun." As she said that, Sachiko let out a smile but quickly, that smile turned into a sorrowful one as she begins reminiscing of her having a fun time with her family. Her family consists of herself, her older brother Mitsuo, and her two parents. She then reminiscent of finding out that her brother had left her due to something personal. Rememebering all of these events causes Sachiko to let out a tear in her right eye as it slowly falls down on her cheek like a calm river. Sachiko notices and carefully wipes her eyes with her right hand. The right hand then turned into a fist as Sachiko looks at it

"Mitsuo, I don't know where you are, but I'm going to find you and give you a piece of my mind!" Sachiko yells out loud. With determination rekindled, Sachiko begins to walk forward. "Now then.. Shinrinseiki should be near here. It has to be here somewhere... But, after I arrive, what should I do first?" As she moves, Sachiko thinks to herself on what to do next.

As Sachiko was nearing the border of the city, before the hustle and bustle of the city ahead, she would hear the faint sound of music in the distance, and it would get louder as it was approaching. As if coming through a speaker.

Sounded like classic rock, with the repetition of the same thumping riff that would remind those of decades ago...if they lived that long ago.

My life was empty.....forever on a down...

Until you took me....showed me around...

As it got louder, Sachiko would soon hear a new voice layering on top of the musical lyrics, what sounded like a young girl who was going along with the tunes. "My life is free now~! My life is clear~!"

As she approached, she appeared to be of Sachiko's age. A caramel skinned pinkette whose locks were gathered in twin bunches tied with white bands, and whose scalp was covered with a violet beanie. She wore a black graphic tee and had a hoodie ties around her waist with the same color as her beanie and wore dark leggings and shoes. She carried a backpack on her with what looked like a portable speaker in the side pocket. A good guess as to wear the music was coming from.

And now that she was in sight, Sachiko could clearly hear that she was the 'backing' vocals. "I love you sweet leaf~! Though you can't hear, oh yeah~!"

The riff continued playing as the teen continued to bop her head along with the music as she made her way along the forested path, and avoided most obstacles that crossed her path in her stroll. Trees, roots, stones, she just seemed to be having a good time.

But the most prominent thing besides her taste in music, was the scent that radiated off her...it was...'off'...?

[LeonTekashi]

With Sachiko slowly approaching the pinkette and not paying attention to her surroundings, she accidently bumps into her. "Woah! What the!?" Sachiko stumbles and backs up. "Oh! Sorry about that! I was deep in thought." She bows her head in sincere but as she was doing that, she stumbles upon a strange odor that's radiating from the pinkette. It causes Sachiko to flinch a bit but she quickly shrugs it off. "Are you okay though?"

[Sardonyx]

"Come on n~! OOF!" Monica was forced to come crashing to a halt, and the sudden crash actually knocked her onto her butt, and she was forced to open her eyes to see who she bumped into, exposed her emerald irises the sclera surrounding them had a pinkish tint to them.

Seeing Sachiko apologize so feverishly, actually caused her to giggle. "Relax dude...it's allll good, I was lost in the tunes so if it weren't you, it probably would have been me doin' the crashing." she said, as she jumped up to her feet. Her speaker was still blaring the same song.

When asked if she was okay, she gave a solid grin and put two thumbs up. "I'm doin' greeaaat. What about you~?" she asked. "You look like you're on a journey or somethin'."

[LeonTekashi]

"I'm alright, but I'm glad you are." Sachiko smiles. "But yes, I am on a journey actually. I'm looking for Shinrinseiki. I believe it's near here somewhere but I haven't came across it yet." As she was explaining what she was doing, bushes nearby begins to rustle loudly. Three medium sized brown bears came out as they were growling ferociously. Sachiko turns towards the noise and notices the brown bears.

"Oh no... Brown Bears that are cubs. Their threat level is D-..." Sachiko states as she turns towards Monica. "Listen, we can finish this conversation later. Right now, I need you to stand back." The tone in Sachiko's voice shifted to a more serious one as she turns back to the three brown bears in front of them. Next, she grabs her two bladed chakrams from her waist with a firm grip and took them out.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Sachiko yells out as she focuses her attention towards the brown bears. Her facial expression was determined as Sachiko is ready to protect the pinkette to the fullest.

[Sardonyx]

"Oooooh? You're looking for Shinrinseiki? I'M from...huh..?" Monica paused in her speech as she heard the rustle and became attentive to appearance of hostile creatures. "Ooooh..."

Great, so much for having a good time. She turned off her speaker and watched as Sachiko gave a warning to stand back as she drew her weapons. "Aww dude, cool looking weapons..." she said with a small smile, but it shrunk immediately as the three bears gave growls and began to surround them, specifically the girl who looked the most hostile.

Monica took a few steps back, and took deep breaths and smacked her cheeks lightly as she tried to snap out of her current state for a little bit as the bears closed in on Sachiko. "C'mon, c'mon..."

[LeonTekashi]

Sachiko checks her surroundings, examining where the bears are located, only to find out that they're surrounded. One brown bear was in front of them, and the other two are on their left and right. "Okay... I just need to..." Sachiko said to herself, but as she was thinking, the brown bear in the front decides to make the first move and hurled itself towards Sachiko with its claws in front and its mouth wide open. Luckily, Sachiko notices and by keeping a firm grip on the middle handle of his two bladed chakrams, she uses her left bladed chakram and parries the front brown bear by deflecting its claws with a leftwards swing.

The front bear was caught off balance as it stumbles back, allowing Sachiko to counter attack by dashing forward and does a rightward swipe with her right bladed chakrams towards it's lungs area. The swipe was a fatal hit, causing the front bear to start suffocating quickly and then die. "Okay. That's one." Sachiko states as she turns arounds and looks at the other two brown bears.

[Sardonyx]

When the first bear dropped dead, the remaining two grew more hostile and roared in unison together, baring their sharp teeth and decided the best bet would be to close in together.

Monica watched as Sachiko made her move with still half opened eyes and smiled lightly. "Whoa..." she was pretty impressed already, but she was curious as to see how the other girl would handle two at once.

[LeonTekashi]

For her next attack, Sachiko throws both of her bladed chakrams with in an arc from both the left and the right. As they curved, the two bladed chakrams lodged themselves right into the brown bears' throat area, causing them to roar in pain and slowly suffocate as they both fell on their back. As they're doing so, Sachiko quickly moved to the brown bear on the left and pulled the bladed chakrams out. With her left bladed chakram raised up high, Sachiko strikes the left brown bear's heart area directly in an "X" motion.

With the left brown bear dying, Sachiko moves towards the right brown bear and does the same thing she did a moment ago. Finally, both the brown bears have died from their fatal wounds with Sachiko putting her bladed chakrams back onto her belt. "Phew! That's takes care of them." Sachiko sighs in relief. She's now feels relaxed as the tension in the air isn't heavy anymore. Next, she approaches the pinkette with a small smile on her face. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

[Sardonyx]

When the other two brown bears went down, Monica's amazed smile only increased even more. "Awesome...!"

When Sachiko went back to her, Monica immediately began to praise her. "Duuuddeee! That was wicked! You were all like ha! and ha! And they were like roaaaar!" All of Monica's sound effects came with loose visual representations of what she saw, from Sachiko using her weapons to the bears' dying growls.

When she was finished, Monica gave a grin. "You totally saved us...you saved me! That's...!!" Monica ended up pausing in her praise, when she noticed another looming presence.

An even bigger brown bear had made their way from beyond the brush as her apparent cubs were going down. And gave a large growl as she attempted to jump Sachiko from behind!

Monica panicked and threw herself at the other girl expected, bring them both down to the ground, but they managed to roll like tumbleweeds a few meters out of the way of the mama bear, who skidded to a halt as she landed on the ground in her failed charge. She immediately turned to face both teens again, baring her maw menacingly and began an approach.

Monica rolled on the ground and landed on her hands and knees, she grimaced and winced with one eye close, but both shot open again, widening as the angry beast ran at them again. But in the path between them she saw a rather large stone on the ground. The pinkette gtit her teeth and brought her hands out in front of her as her eyes flashed an even brighter emerald.

The mama bear was ready to gnaw away at them as it jumped, but suddenly, it got struck in between the eyes with a large stone, bearing a glowing green outline around it. With a soft roar, it collapsed in it's jump and hit the ground as it's forward momentum caused it to slide to a halt right in front of the girls. It was unconscious...

Monica gave steady pants as beads of sweat fell down her face and her eyes returned to normal, she could feel her heart beat outside her chest, and brought her hands up to her temples and held them, it seemed as though she was in pain now.
