Katsumi p.o.v 3 years before

"Katsumi! Hurry up, don't you want to see the parade!"Kiwa yelled running through the crowds of swarming people.
"Kiwa slow down!" I yelld as I ran after the over excited red head girl.
Today the frist day of our yearly festival to give thanks to the angles that protect us from dangerous demons. They havent been seen in years ,but we still give thanks. On the last night of the festival angles pick 8
14 year olds to back with them and become and fight with angles.
The only problem? Me and Kiwa tured 14 over the summer.
As I wove through the crowds of endless people I caught sight of the big gold and bright red float surrounding flocks of people dressed up in silk clothes and golden accessories.
Kiwa's bright red hair was allmost as bright the silk colthes and floats.
I weaved my way through the crowds of people and I found Kiwa stareing in awe. She turns her Red head towards me and smiles.
"Katsumi,isn't it pretty?"
"I geuss so." Kiwa giggles
"I thought you say something like that,boys hardly ever will say things are 'pretty'." She simles again, gives me a look and adds,
"Except for girls."
"We'll see about that."
The next days went by fast.
Soon it was the last day of the festival,and I for one wasn't looking forward to the ceremony.
I have had bad feelings for while about,well Im not sure but when I get bad feelings it sure as heck didn't mean it was going to be kittens and sunny happy-go-lucky fun times,thats for sure.
