The day went on as usual. It sure was a busy day, until it was night. Jackson turned the 'open' sign to 'closed'. He began to wipe the tables, Heather was sweeping the floor, Sam was wiping the dishes, and Akira was sitting at the counter drinking green tea. The manager was out.

The little bells rang, somebody has entered the shop. The person was wearing a knee length coat, a hat, and carrying a bag. His blue hair covered his face which made it harder to figure out who was that. Until, the person took off the hat, which revealed the stylish piercings and sharp blue eyes.

It was Ken.

"Yo, this is the mask. I know I said I'll deliver it instead, but I wanted to see how that young lady would look like, so I took the trouble in coming here." He said, while opening the bag which revealed the mask. He handed it to Akira, who was already staring. She slowly accepted the mask, it seems unique. It was a leather mask.The dark and gloomy colours mixed with the psychotic smile of the mask upon her face to create a feeling of immediate insanity that brought a halt to her current emotions.

"Thanks, Ken." She mumbled, her eyes were still fixed on the mask.

Ken smiled  and folded the bag. He wore his hat and went out. The door was shut.

She took the mask with her, and went upstairs to her room. She leaned against the blank wall and stared at it. She felt uneasy, had a knotted feeling in her stomach, and felt tremor in her knees. Something surely bad will happen.

But, what will it be?

"Ashes, ashes, they all fall down. "  A mocking laugh was heard in her head. She slammed her fist to the wall, and wispered, 

"Don't get in my way, Meika."
