The one problem with Aki is he was a third child in a Chinese families.  His parents had to pay a hefty fine to continue to have him, and sometimes he felt the tension in his family.  It was not common for a family to have two children let alone a third.  Many a time he could be found playing in the yard by himself trying to behave himself so his father would not get upset with him.<br/><br/>On his 5th birthday he was able to go with his mother to a little shop called 'The Wishing Glass'.  His mother had warned him not to touch anything, and that was what he made sure he did.  He got to meet the owner of the store that day.   Mr. Roshi Zhanghe, but Aki was 5 and couldn't say his name so it always came out Zgee and so that was what he always called him.<br/><br/>He fell in love with that shop that day because it always had the neatest things and he always tried hard to be good so his mom would take him with her when she went to visit.  He was glad when he started to school because the shop was on his way home.  So when his mom would walk him home he always talked her into going.<br/><br/>Aki looked up to the man like a grandfather that he never had and he was always asking him questions or asking him to tell him stories.  He was happy when it got to be at the age he could walk to the school on his own.  That meant he could spend more time with Mr. Zgee.<br/><br/>It finally came to the day he turned 18 and he was at a loss at what he was going to do.  His siblings had been long gone for years and the news that had just happened made things even worse.  His brother had died in a skiing accident in America and now it was up to him to carry on the family name and responsibilities, because the middle sibling was a girl.  He had never thought it would be placed on his shoulders.<br/><br/>He had wanted to go to college and become a Doctor or something he was not sure.  Having good grades all the way thru school he was very smart.  With his brother dying he was unsure what he wanted to do now.  He really was hoping to move out of their small area, meet a nice girl and just have fun.<br/><br/>He knew that the only person who he could talk to was Mr. Zgee so that was where he headed off to.  Walking into the shop he could not help but sigh a little looking around to see if there was anything new.  He ran his fingers across the beads the way he had always done as he walked towards Mr. Zgee.<br/><br/>Aki could not help but smile as he continued to call him Mr. Tasui,<span style="color: #4000FF"> "Mr. Zgee I have told you and told you to call me Aki.  I am no Mr."</span>He said with a little laugh and continued to following him back to his living area and took a seat on the couch.  He watched him take off to the kitchen to make some tea just like he always did when he came by.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4000FF">"I am just at a lost at what I should do."</span>Aki sighed when Mr. Zgee asked what was up.<br/><br/>He was lost in thought as he listened to the music that Mr. Zgee always had playing  and he caught himself staring at the stick that always sat on the mantle.  Aki had asked many times what it meant because everything in this shop had a story behind it.  But this stick was never talked about.  'Wait till older' he would always say.  He wondered if he was older now.<br/><br/>As he was waiting on Mr. Zgee he could not help but stare at the stick as the music seemed to get louder and for some reason the stick seemed to be glowing bright.  What was this all about?  Aki got up off the couch as if he was being pulled towards the stick, he was lost in the music and the bright light.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4000FF">"Mr. Zgee, why is this doing this?"</span>Not realizing that he wasn't being heard.<span style="color: #4000FF">"Mr. Zgee"</span>Aki called out one more time before he grabbed the stick and everything went dark.
