• Undead Love
    Chapter 1: Yoshino Akechi

    Kairi’s days in school has been different ever since she met Yoshino Akechi. She experienced love, betrayal, and a couple near deaths. Yoshino’s and Kairi’s world are totally not the same. Yoshino is an undead 5000 years old zombie that did whatever Kairi wants and Kairi is a normal school girl that day dreams. To her mind, meeting Yoshino was the best part of her life....
    Their partnership started in the middle of spring. Kairi stared at the most popular boy in the entire school district, Raven Maeda. He was surround everyday with screaming girls in the courtyards, school halls, and in the commons. Poor Kairi had a crush on this heartthrob the moment the two set eyes on each other.
    Kairi and her family arrived in Tokyo, Japan couple weeks ago. She was nervous for her family lived in America ever since she could remember. Moving to her parents’ hometown was a big step for her. She befriend with the next door neighbor’s daughter, Jun Kurenai, to show her the traditional ways of Japan. Kairi struggled to learn the ropes but she succeed.
    “Why don’t you go over there and talk to him?” ask Jun.
    “I’m afraid of making a fool out of myself,” cry Kairi.
    “You never know if you never try.”
    Jun push Kairi out of her desk and drag her to Raven.
    “Excuse me Raven, but my friend here wants to ask you something.”
    Raven turn his head and look at Kairi. Kairi hid her face behind Jun and said, “ You want to go out.... I mean not as a date but do an activity together?’
    She finally reveal herself and notice that Raven was talking to another girl. Kairi fell into her lonely dark hole in the corner of the classroom. After school, Jun tried to ask Kairi to attempt the question again, but Kairi already rode her bike home.
    “I fail in life,” said Kairi. “I cannot even talk to a cute boy in my class.”
    She sigh and pedal her bike uphill and downhill. When she arrived home, she left her book bag on the stairway and race to her room. She laid across her comfortable bed and closed her eyes. Dreams of living with Raven on the shores of Japan danced in her mind.
    “Oh Raven, I wish you were mine.”
    She stood up and searched her closet.
    “I have to find a good item to make myself special. An item that can make Raven look towards my way and fall to his knees and worship me.”
    She check every necklaces, bracelets, or hair pins but she couldn’t find something to make her stand out. Suddenly she come across a weird box. Kairi pulled the box out between her clothes and examined it. Weird markings was drawn on the surface of the brown object. A giant red piece of paper was placed to seal the thing shut.
    On the box wrote:

    DO NOT OPEN

    Kairi didn’t care. She never did what her parents said; so she broke the seal and opened it. Inside was nothing but empty spaces.
    “This is stupid!” yell Kairi. “Sealing a box that has nothing inside is pure dumb!”
    Suddenly the box started to shake. Kairi was frighten by its sudden movements and threw the box onto the floor. A dark cloud of green smoke emerge out and surround the young girl. Kairi closed her eyes out of fear and waited. She opened her eyes just moments later to see if she was dead.
    “I’m alive,” cheer Kairi. Just then as the smoke cleared and Kairi scream to the top of her lungs. A pale skin zombie was standing across from her.
