Chapter 1: What's going on?

Start from the beginning
                                    

          "I-I'm sorry. I ..." the apology from the girl died within her throat when she saw against who she had crashed into. 185cm, a black jacket with a white shirt underneath, fire-red hair and golden eyes that were staring right at her. Suoh Mikoto, the Red King.

          The girl began to back away from him. 'Why did I have to crash into him out of all the people in Shizume City?. He seems pissed', [Y/N] backed away until she felt the wall behind her. Now she was terrified. As if not having to flee from thugs without knowing why they were chasing her was already bad enough, but arousing the Red King's wrath was worse. She knew that Mikoto and his clan, HOMRA are able to control fire. She had also heard that he was easily angered and burned his victims until there was nothing left. 'No blood, No Bone, No Ash'. That was HOMRA's motto. Suoh Mikoto is definitely not the person you would want to piss off.

          [Y/N] looked at how the Red King was approaching her with a scowl. She looked around for someone to help her but there were only the HOMRA clansmen and a doll-like girl with white hair. She doubted the girl would be able to help her. Terrified, [Y/N] pressed herself against the wall as if she could escape from the fiery gaze of the Red King.

          "Mikoto, you're scari ...", a blond man holding a camera in his hand began to say.

          [Y/N] didn't hear what they were saying because her pursuers just arrived at the alley where they were. Mikoto stopped his advance and watched the two men, completely ignoring the girl. He was beginning to get the idea of what was happening. [Y/N] took that moment to resume her escape, soon she heard someone calling for her to stop and she saw that the blond man with the camera had begun to follow her. Soon after, another blond man with glasses joined him.

          After several minutes, [Y/N] who tired from running so much, looked back to see how much she distanced herself from her new pursuers and was surprised to see that there was no one following her. She stopped and leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. Once she managed to calm her heart down a little, she called her brother to make sure he was okay.

          'Come on Ryu, pick up the fucking phone'. As the beeps continued to ring, [Y/N] was getting more and more worried. When she was just about to hang up, he finally picked up the phone.

          "Ryu? Is that you? Why didn't answer the phone faster? Are you okay? Ryu?" she asked quickly without giving time to hear the person's reply.

          "Hey, slow down. Of course It's me, what happened? Shouldn't you be back by now?".

          [Y/N] allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the voice of her brother.

          "A-Are you really okay? I-I ... These two men w-where following m-me and t-they said something about you. I ran away, t-then I crashed into the Red King and I h-had to run again. I-I... I was s-so scared...", she said, trembling.

          "Stop. I can't understand what you just said. You said you were followed? Are you okay?" Ryu sounded scared.

          "Y-yes, I'm fine" [Y/N] began to relax a little. "There were two men in black suits, one of t-them wore glasses and said something a-about ... making you come to your senses. Ryu, what's happening?"

          "Shhh, relax. Don't worry. I got this. Are you still wearing the necklace?"

          [Y/N] touched the necklace before answering. 'What does the necklace have to do with any of this?', the necklace is a earth globe and binoculars. Ryu had given it to her for her 18th birthday. When he gave it to her, Ryu asked to her to promise him that she'll always be carrying it. She didn't bother to care, always liked travel, she thought that the necklace represented herself, and she also thought it was cute. But, why would Ryu care for a simple necklace?
