It was a good day, a day like any other...but I guess you're tired of hearing openings like that. That and those "It was a dark and stormy night openings...", but I digress. Well this is my life story, of insane what-the-hell-happened-to-me experiences.
My name is Sai. A regular high school student who was fairly weak, with an anorexic build and had an ordinary future ahead of him. Unfortunately, that was about to change one day. It was the year 2010, and I was a sophomore at the time at Otaku High. Yeah, I know, Otaku High, the founder was a big anime fan, don't ask me anymore about that.
"Sai-kun,", said a young girl besides me.
Her name was Kohaku. A pink-haired girl with a cheery disposition on her, all the time. SERIOUSLY. I mean, you try to put her down and she just smiles and comes up with an even funnier joke about you later.
"Kohaku-san...what is it?", I asked.
"Do you mind coming home with me for the night?", she asked.
I scratched my head, then sighed. "I guess I don't mind. Mind telling me why?"
"Haven't you watched the news? All those disappearing girls are vanishing in this area... I don't want to go alone."
"Right..." Truth be told, I didn't have a TV. well to be accurate, I didn't need one. I never cared about the news or anything else on the thing in the first place. All I needed was a good computer.
Well, after class, I got my stuff and accompanied Kohaku back to her home. She lived a great deal away from the school and it soon got dark. That was when things got disturbingly strange. I mean, don't you call it strange when the area around you turns surprisingly dark, so dark that you cant see the light 5 meters away? Oh, wait I forgot the 5 white figures that surrounded us in the darkness.
"What the hell?!", I exclaimed.
"Wh-whats going on here?", panicked Kohaku.
"Target Found. Subject will be apprehended. Commence Capture of Target.", said one of the white figures.
"Target?! What target?!", I demanded.
"TAROT Project #06: The Lovers Confirmed. Commence Capture.", Said another.
"Lovers?! We're not--", I started before a bright white light consumed the area.
There all I saw was light. White light. Then a beautiful lady slowly appeared before me.
"Thank goodness I made it...", she said.
"Who are you?", I asked.
"Serene.", she replied. "I don't have much time to explain so all I can do is give you your starting hand."
"Starting hand?"
"You are the guardian of the Major Arcana Project: TAROT."
"Say what?!"
"Defend the 22 Arcanas...please!"
The white, blonde haired lady started to fade.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do?!", I called out.
"Protect....the 22...guardian..."
Then the white light vanished. I found myself on someones bed. I looked to my side and saw Kohaku, asleep, still in her school uniform. I then assumed I was in her house. I looked on my hand and saw a glowing emblazoned symbol...Ω. I touched it, and it instantly faded away. Then I thought back to the white lady, Serene. Was it a dream? Was it a vision? Or was it the start of things to come? Little did I know, that day marked the day all hell would break loose in my life...in a good way.

- Um...I really don't know what to say to this. It's not good but not that bad either. I hope you know where you're planning to go with this.

- I like it, it's different, not great, but the style doesn't mean it should be. To make that a novel like story you would need to expand a lot and be more descriptive. But what were you planning on doing with it?
