Lily hummed a small tune as she opened shop for the morning. She could hear the soft clatter of the animals waking and some making noises to get their food. Going about her work she fed the animals, cleaned cages and finally go the till sorted out. After that, she switched the sign on and declared the shop open for the day.

Though she had few customers, she found she had plenty to talk to. Including the animals. While the store was empty she decided to play with the kittens. Giggling as they romped around and pounced her and each other.

Karu woke up for the day. Washing up real quick in the bathroom. As he was running out the door he saw that his fish have died once again. He sighed picked up his bag and ran out the door. Runing as fast as he can to ensure that he does not miss the bus again he saw a local pet shop at the corner of his eye. As he sat on the bus heading to the feilds out side of town. He made a mental note to stop by the pet shop after work. He worked as a rice farmer for a living. As his five hour work day came to a finish he headed back on the bus to go home. He put his head set on to listen to some music to make the long bus ride seem short.

Lily yawned as she leaned against the counter. One more expensive, hand raised parrot sold, along with a rat, a couple fish, two kittens, and...some others she couldn't think of in her bored and tired state. She wanted something exciting to happen. But like that kind of stuff actually happened in a pet shop. "Only in the movies." She murmured to herself.

As she sat there, she started going over what she could make for dinner. Though it was hard to think of anything good without having some of the meat she had cook for the whole day. She scoffed, knowing she should have started that corned beef. At the thought of food she could hear her stomach growl. "Just a little while longer. We can close shop and head home."

Karu got off the bus and started walking home. He picked up a few pebbles and droped a few while walking until his hand was once again empty. He sighed and saw the pet shop from this morning and started to think about all the poor fish that have died under his watch. He dicided not to go to the pet shop and just continued walking home. As he passed the pet shop he saw a few guys standing in the ally next to the shop. He looked at them as one of them said "So tonight we will do it so you better be" the guy stoped talking as the other said "lower your voice idiot". Karu just kept walking to avoid them. He got hom flushed the old fish and sat in his bed thinking of what the guy said and what it ment. What's going to happen tonight? I shold stop by the pet store tomorrow so i have somthing to talk to. ~Sigh~

As it got close to closing time, Lily stood straight as she heard the door open. "Good evening. Just to let you know the shop will me closing soon." She said and looked around the counter and saw two guys. She had seen them in front of her shop before and figured they were up to no good.

She saw one guy nod and the other...where did he go? Backing away from the counter she looked around, trying not to look worried or frantic. Though when one of the birds squawked she jumped. They were such loud creatures. "Was there anything I could help you find tonight?"

With that question she saw the guy look up and the look on her face made her breath catch. He and his friend were up to no good. But with the one not being seen she had no way to get to a phone and call someone. Panic rose inside and she worried she wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer.

((You mind controlling them since you brought them in? ^^))

Karu wakes up from a dead sleep. He sits up and is still trying to figure out what those guys were up to. He trows his pillow at the wall and yells out "FINE". He walks out the door and heads to the pet store. He sees that the pet store is the only store open. What the hell is it doing open so late. He stops as he sees an old friend and asks him "whats going on tonight." "Hey Karu nothing much just walking the streets" his friend replied. "Have you herd anything about that pet shop" Karu asked. "Um... Just some small time guys talking about rob..." and befor he finished Karu was in a full on sprint twoards the pet store his friend right behind him.

----------

Karu gets to the shop and flings the door open.Th two guys from the ally fled the shop and Karu's friend ran after them. Karu looks at the girl in the shop and waits for her to say somthing.

Read Me: Befor the incident at the museum my life sucked. I was born on a fishing boat in the harbor of Osaka Japan. It was a dark day for my family, it was the day they died. I was addopted by a nice old chinese couple. They already had four kids. They raised me as if i was one of them. They taught me how to use Shuanggou in english twin hook swords. I got the nick name Bai which means white from my four brothers. Ever since i was a kid i have had nightmares. I always wake up screaming from them. It was not until the incident at the museum when i learned why. My class got the chance to vist Beijing. We got to see The National Museum of China. It was here that i was transpoded into the past with five other people. I still dont know what my nightmares mean but i hope to find out befor we go back home.
