Chapter 1
Bree stared out at the rain as she held the two sobbing children close to her. All she could think of was I'm always so organized, always so mature, I know exactly what to do in every situation! That's what everybody says at least...but...right now? I don't know what to do...

Bree ran around the house in a frenzy. "Mom do you know where my shoes are!" she yelled "I just remembered I have a babysitting job for mister and missus Hamasaki today!" she said as she roughly brushed out her copper colored curls and pulled on a white t-shirt and shorts along with some thigh high black socks. Her mother peeked her head around the corner, "I'm pretty sure they're still by the front door sweetie but right now come get your toast!", Bree slipped on her shoes and ran to her mom grabbing the toast "yes ma'am! thank you love you!" She said and she pecked her mother on the cheek before running out the door.
Bree Moriko, 13 years old. Yes she was Japanese but she still had an American name. Her mom and dad were both very into American culture so that's why they named her Bree. All throughout school she had been teased for it but she never let it get her down. Personally, she thought it was a very pretty name and what she thought was all that mattered. When she was 11 in six grade she took up babysitting as a job for extra money after her dad died in a car crash when she was 9. Currently she was heading to her next babysitting job for Kai and Kit, two adorable little kids that she loved to bits and pieces. But that wasn't much to say since she loved all the kids she babysat. She was supposed to watch Kai and Kit till their parents called her and then she would meet up with them wherever they were at.
As she sat on the subway she looked out the window at Tokyo Tower. Kai was about maybe 11 months old and Kit was about four years old. Her specialty. Bree was known among practically every parent in the Kanto region due to her "amazing" babysitting skills. She was especially known for her specialty of four year old's and under. However five year old's and up were a different story... It would be best if she didn't bring up the six year old incident...Anyway!
She analized the people around her but her attention was suddenly drawn to two people. "Sis! Look at the bridge" said a boy around 7 or 8 to a girl around her age. The girl looked familiar... Oh right! She goes to the same middle school as Bree did! She was a grade lower so Bree had only seen her a couple times before but she definately knew her. "Mhmm" the girl hummed looking at her phone as the little boy, presumibly her brother, began to tug on her arm. "We came here once before! Look!" He persisted as the girl turned to him, clearly annoyed. "Alright! Okay! Geez..." She said looking out the window.
Bree smiled at the two and giggled a bit before the train announced her stop. She got off and headed towards the house. She knocked on the apartment door and a tired looking woman with sandy brown hair and blueish gray eyes opened the door and gave her a tired smile. "Oh Bree! Thank you so much for coming on such short notice! The kids have missed you!" she said as she opened the door wide and gestured for her to come in.
Bree bowed in appreciation and walked in. "Thats good to hear because I missed the little rascals too!" She said as Mr hamasaki waved at her while he struggled to do his tie while looking in the mirror on the wall. He had a nice shirt on with some nice pants and shoes but his Black hair was a mess and his light brown eyes were tired looking as well. Bree laughed as she walked over to him, "Here let me help you Mr.Hamasaki, where are you going all dressed up like this!" She smiled smugly. The man blushed, smiling bashfully, while rubbing the back of his neck. He put his arm around his wife's waist, "Its our 20th anniversary so we're going out for the day!" Mrs. Hamasaki said hugging her husband and smiling at Bree. "Haha! Good for you two, well happy anniversary!" Bree said as the happy couple walked out the door. "Thanks! Oh and remember to meet us in the mall at 3:10 to drop off the kids!" Mr.Hamsaki said waving before closing the door behind him.
It was the first day of summer vacation so Kit was probably enjoying her first summer vacation from school. Bree sighed as she plopped down on the couch, scratching the back of her head as she looked at the time. 2:40 pm. "Awww I only get an hour with my little munchkins!". She got up and headed for little Kais room. Kai looked alot like his mother although he had the same eyes as his father. When she opened the door he looked at her from the crib and he bounced up and down in exicitement while giggling.
"Hi Kai baby! What are you doing silly?" She said while hoisting him out of the crib and placing him in his play pen. "You stay here and play while I go get your sister okay Mr!" She walked out of the room as Kai began to chew on one of his teethers. When she went into Kits room she found her holding a giant leaf above her head while jumping around, laughing. Bree ran up from behind her and lifted her in the air while saying in a deep voice, "TO-TO-ROOOO!!" The little girl squealed in delight as the teen hugged her. "BREE!!" The little girl yelled while throwing her arms around the girls neck. "I missed you!" Kit said, her bluish gray eyes staring into Brees forest green ones. She wore black shorts and a totoro hoodie with her black hair in a loose braid pulled to the side. "I missed you two you little munchkin!" Bree smiled, "Now why don't we go do the rain dance with your little brother to see if it will rain and make the plants grow?" Bree said carrying the little four year old to the baby's room.
Bree continued to play with the little kids until it was time for her to drop them off at the mall with their parents. She got on the subway holding the two kids hands and found a seat. Bree looked around at the passengers as they passed by kyoto bridge. Kai made baby grunts and noises while pointing at kyoto bridge and Bree smiled while Kit stared out the window with a big smile at kyoto bridge. "Its so BIG!" She said loudly, "Kit be a little quieter, be mindful of the other people around us!" Bree said reminding the four year old.
A couple minutes later Bree got off at the stop for the mall and walked around looking for Mr and Mrs. Hamasaki. After a couple minutes of wandering without a purpose Bree took the kids to the toy shop and called their parents.
"Hey I'm at the toy shop in the mall where are you guys at?"
"Oh Bree! Hi! We are in the mall but we will head over to where you are now. Thanks so much for watching the kids!"
"No problem I'm here whenever you need me!"
Bree hung up the phone and checked the time. 3:35. She didnt know why but something was nagging her about the time and she suddenly felt really uncomfortable. She immediately checked to make sure the kids were okay. When she saw they were fine she brushed off the feeling and waited for Mr and Mrs. Hamasaki to get there.
5 minutes later Mr. And Mrs. Hamasaki came trotting up to her to retrieve their kids. After more thank yous and some small talk, Bree handed Kai to his mother and Kit grabbed on to her fathers hand. Bree started to walk away while waving good bye to the nice little family.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake a little and she looked down in confusion along with everybody else. "Earthquake?..." She mumbled clinging onto her bag strap. Then, out of nowhere, the floor began to practically rock underneath Bree's feet as the windows shattered and the roof to the building cracked and split. She flung her head up to see the family clinging on to each other. She heard another large crack ring through the air and looked above the family to see a piece of the thick concrete roof begin to fall above the family. Bree stood shocked and all she could do in her horrified state was yell.
"KAI! KIT!"
