Asuka Hibiki was a child of mixed birth, a western woman and a Japanese cat demon. When her mother died her father had changed the twelve year old 'Asuka's' name and began training her. Her real name was Sarah, not that many knew. Still Asuka followed everything she was told by her father, doing his bidding and always looking for tomorrow and what she could be if she escaped.

Tonight, however, was his. He'd sent her to retrieve some item or another... She had been leaping across the building tops of japan when she suddenly found herself surrounded by light. For a moment she thought she'd hid a trap of some sort when the scent of strange flowers hit her nose. Roses? Her mother had loved roses and worn rose perfume so the scent held special meaning to the girl.

As she opened her eyes Asuka saw only bright sunshine and beautiful flowers at first, until she realized there was a building in the very back. She headed towards it and sheathed her sword. Her spirit guide, a white and blue cat named Yuki appeared on her shoulder as she did so.

"Where are we?" the spirit asked quietly.

"...No idea..." was the feline woman's response.
