The young girl was walking down an area down the street. She was looking down at her hand as she clenched it into a fist then released her tense feeling. She contemplated on a question as her eyes narrowed slightly. 

Where is father....?

What is this feeling?

I have everything I want, but I'm lacking a father. I want my father to be here with me too, am I being selfish? He probably has things to do.

As her eyes showed the frustration held in them, a scream caught her attention. "Hmm? What's going on?" 

She pondered the question to herself as she spread her arms open, bending down slightly, her knees crouching down before launching herself on the roof of a building. She looked around the area, looking directly in a specific direction. Her eyes picked up a boy who was running away from businessmen or some sort of dealer that was on his trail.

"Oh no! The poor boy." She pressed her index finger under her lips. She clenched her hand with sparkles floating around her. "I must save him! Ah~ mom won't mind anyway." She lifted her hand to pump it into the air. 

"Alright." She coolly spoke and took two steps back before launching off the roof. She jumped from roof to roof to meet the young boy and rescue him from those pursuers. The cluttering sounds on the roof were heard as she raced in his direction in a nick of time. 

The young blue hair boy ran with such speed and tried to outrun them as much as he can. "Please, I'm sorry to do this, but my parents really need this!" He pleaded to the angry men behind. 

"Stupid kid, give it back!" One of the males screamed in frustration. Heavy sprints of their footsteps relentlessly followed him as well as the sound of tires of the car driving behind. 

'What should I do?! What should I do?! They won't listen to reason!' He thought as he dodged quite a big rock to avoid being tripped over. He looked behind him to see they were hot on his trail. "Someone help me!" He whimpered before crashing into something, or rather someone, as he fell on the ground with a grunt. 

He rubbed his head as he sat there then looked up at what he ran into. He saw bright violet eyes peering down on him. The person stood in the shadows of the building that towers over her features which made it hard for him to even see her. He went on the defensive right away, putting his hands up and pleaded, thinking that person was one of them.

"Please! I don't want any-" 

"Trouble? I know. I'm not an enemy." The voice finally spoke, he realized by the sound as he lowered his guard down a little. "A girl?" He questioned, hearing the soft voice which was quite soothing to him. Her presence even soothes him more and he was supposed to be on full adrenaline.

"Let me handle this for you." She added.

"Eh?" He blinked when he didn't hear or see her eyes.  

"You there!" The female voice shouted, making him turn to the young female. "Could you please not harm or chase this boy. He just wants to get home to his loving family." She said with such a voice with no care in the world that was confronting bad men now. What could she do in this situation? He was scared and confused about her. At least she was trying to talk to them with some leniency.

"What?! Look here, little girl! That brat has something that needs to be paid right away. Now, move it before we deal with you harshly. At least, I'll teach you a lesson or two about the tough world." The man, assuming to be the leader of this group, spat out with an evident smirk appearing.
