A house full of laugh and smiley faces...having a nice birthday party. All eight of the young girls having fun playing suddenly interrupted when there were a crashing sound. All their mother took them to a hidden near the living room.
Mothers : " My beloved daughters stay here and don't make any noises, just stay calm and no matter what's happening don't get out from this room. "
The oldest daughter : " Will you come back to get us mom? "
Mother : " I will and remember We always loved you. "
They closed the door with smile on their faces.
The room was dark the girls only hope was a little lights from the living room nearby through a small holes on the wall. The youngest one couldn't help but wondering what is in the room? Why is this room kept as a secret from them... After a while she found a bunch of files. The contents in those files are so complicated. The second one took a three backpacks and put in all the files.
The second one : " You carry this and you this the last one here. " The second one gave it to the oldest one and they carry it.
Soon after there was a gunshots from the living room. The girls run to the holes. There was a group of muderer wearing a mask pointing a gun to the head of the oldest's father. Her father saw her and give her a smile for the last time before he was shot. All of them crying nonstop saw all their parents laying on the ground with the pool of blood.
The muder 1 : " Search where the files are, kill everyone in this house."
The other murders : " Yes Sir as command. "
The oldest one thinking : " Files??? Is this the file their looking for !!! ". She then tell the fifth, six, seven and the youngest one to find a way out of the room while she, the second, third and fourth look where were the murderers was. Few minutes later the fifth one find something under the table and she pulled it a wall behind them opened and the way was leading to the backyard of the house. They all run away with the backpack asking for help but it was useless. The house a far away from the other and couldn't run anymore.
A couple of minutes later there was a car heading in their way. The car stop and there was a guy asking is the girls where the address was. The address that the guy asked is the same address as the house.
The oldest one : " Sir may I asked why you want to go there??? "
That guy : " Oh!! My friend invited me to his daughter's birthday party...and the party will start soon so...me and my son have to get there before the party start." There was some sit beside the driver. The second one told him the whole story and he was clearly shocked. It was obvious that the oldest one's father gave him the wrong time but why? The guy took us to the house and surprisingly the house was burned. The guy called the fire fighters and the polices.
Everything was settled after three hours. The guy who help us talked to the police officer and then walk towards us.
The guy : " They said the house was burned because of electrical malfunction."
The third one : " That's not true!!!! "
The guy : " I know but even if tell them the truth they won't believe it."
The oldest one : " Uncle can I talk to you....??"
The guy : " Yes... Is there anything you want to ask me about??? " The oldest one took out one of the files from the backpack and gave it the the guy.
The oldest one : " Do you know about this file? " His eyes wided.
The guy : " This you have to keep it and don't show it to anyone else. Beside you who knows about this file??"
The oldest one : " Me and my friends over there. " She pointed the finger to the other girls.
The guy : " Good. Now I will take you to your grandfather's house. That's what your father told me last time. Lets go. "
The oldest one : " Uncle what did my father said to you?? What is his last words? "
The guy : " He told me that if anything happen to him I have to take you girls to your grandfather's house. He knew that your grandfather doesn't like you cause you are girl but no one fault that you were born to be a girl... So I hope you will stay strong while you were there. "
The oldest one : " I see." **Even though she doesn't understand at all why.
In the car that guy introduce himself. It's been a while and they forgot to introduce themselves**.
The guy : " I'm Misaki your parents best friend and this is my son Kazama. "
Kazama : " I want to buy a drink I'm thirsty to dead now watching this girls over here. " After a while, Misaki stop his car and park his car. Kazama then get off the car and slammed the door. The oldest one whispered to Misaki.
The oldest one : " What's wrong with him? "
Misaki : " He hates girls since he was eight years old.. That's because his mother, my wife, tried to killed him once and left me. My business went bankrupt that timed and at that time I realized that she only be with me because of my money."
The oldest one : " So a gold digger" Misaki nodded.
Misaki : "Suddenly, two days after she died. Ever since that tragedy he started to hate girls and he though girl could only bring a misfortune to him. Here he comes hope you keep that as a secret. "
The oldest one : " I will Uncle Misaki don't worry. "
And she sat down back where she supposed to luckily the other girls didn't curious about it.

Misaki : " A had three all together. Kazama the oldest one. The second is Kaori and the last one is Katashi. Kaori and Katashi lived with my brother right now. Okay now girls have some rest I wake you up when we arrive*."
***Sakura's though in mind** : " Will our life changed after this? Will I get revenge for you mom dad. You said that you'll come back, but now you'll never come back. Tell mom dad, will my life change after this*.... " And she slowly closed her eyes and sleep beside Yuna.
All of them ( In mind) : " Mom Dad. WE WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR THIS. "
As soon as their arrived at Sakura grandfather's house... Her grandfather looked at her with a deadly eyes. The butler told us to wait at the living room while waiting for Misaki and grandfather at the study room. Few minutes later Misaki had to go back to France since he had a business to take care off.
Grandfather : " I'll let you stay here but under one condition... Starting tomorrow all of have to traning self defense, how to used guns, swords and knife.. If you can't finish it within six months get out of here and fine another place to stay. "
Sakura : " Yes grandfather."
Grandfather : " You stay here for a while I have something to say." He looked at Sakura.
Grandfather : "Butler Kin please lead the others to their room for rest. "
Butler Kin : " Yes Sir. " They all went to their room but Yuna had a bad feeling ever since she stepped into this house. So does everyone else. So they quietly get out of the room and looked at those two from upstairs.
Grandfather : " I never had a granddaughter like you so stop calking me grandfather. " Sakura was shocked even the others upstairs.
Yuna ( in mind) : " What the **** is wrong with this old man. Is he crazy. That his biological granddaughter. Is he out of his mind!!!"
Sakura : " Yes I won't called you that again, but I would called you old man... That's suite you very well. " The others from upstairs holding their laugh. That's the funniest thing they've ever heard from her.
Grandfather : " You.... You... "
Sakura : " Listen here old man I'm maybe weak now but doesn't that means you can easily bullies me as you like... I also have feelings. Maybe you're not. I'm going to my room now you should rest you are not that young anymore old man... " Hearing footsteps at the stairs the other girls try to run away but get busted...
Sakura : " Are you happy now..?? "
Yume : " We just worry about you... Cause you always kept secret with us.. "
Suzuya : " What did uncle Misaki said to you outside the before???? "
Sakura : " Nothing personal just an advices. "
Azumi : " What advices?!!?!?? "
Sakura : " Never trust that old man. Cause the kind words from his mouth means you are in danger.. So be careful whenever you were around him.. I'm going to sleep now... Good night.."
Haikawa : " She's acting weird now......"
Hazakura : " She's changed now so do we... To get revenge we have to be strong now..."
Few hours ago, outside the old man's house....
Misaki : " Remember Sakura those files never mention it to anyone else... Even your friends and also your grandfather. He may seems nice but nevet trust his words. This is what's your father told me before. You better be careful now. I leaved my phone number to Hazakura. Tell her if anything happen but don't mention those files. "
Back to reality...
Sakura : " Now I see why." Misaki already warned her to be careful which make her feels her nightmare just already begun...and those file what exactly is so important contents until it have to took a lifes of her beloved family. She still didn't understand the content. Each file have a different language. So she decided to learn languages. France, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Spanish, only after that he could understand the contents.
Sakura : " It's my birthday but both of you are gone...feels liked I'm half dead already.... Why don't run away with us...??? I miss you. "
Three months later...
The girls already master at self defense, how to play guns, sword and knife. As promised they stay with the old man and attend to school like normal a normal students. After they will go to the traing base in the forest behind the old man's house. Misaki and Kazama will help them training... Even though Kazama help them in training he still hates girls as like before. Now the girls are in pair leading the mafia group... But they told the old man that it just group of hacker and for data information. For them it's better to keep it secret now. Only Misaki knew that was a mafia groups.
One day Misaki invited them to France at his brother's mansion. It was a party about his brother new project for his business. Kazama and his brothers also his cousins from Misaki side and his mother's side lived there. All of them hate the same thing...girls. Misaki lived alone at his villa. At the party.
Misaki : " Sakura can you help me with something?"
Sakura : " What is it uncle?? "
Misaki : " I have a bad feeling about this new project I tried to warned him but he ignored me. I want to her identity.."
Sakura : " Her??? "
Misaki : " His new secretary... I hope she just a normal people but I could see that she had something."

Misaki : " Thank you. Please let me know as soon as possible."
Sakura : " I'll send it through your email and the file I send it to you to for your brother. "
Misaki : " Deal. I'll wait for your information."
