Chapter 1

I was dropped at the front gate and turned to look at the school. Seiko academy for boys, which was opposite to the girls' academy. I gazed down the path leading to the main building that was lined with cherry blossom trees. The petals slowly drifted down from above. I looked up at the sky, finding this scene ironically beautiful.

I wandered up the path pulling my suitcase and shifting the backpack on my left shoulder. I heard some shouting from my right and looked over. There was a boy running, through the trees and getting closer to me.

"What?" my unusually high voice whispered.

"Look out!" The boy who was running towards me yelled. Just before he reached the path, he tripped on the curb that separated the cherry blossom wood and the path. I do admit, the slow motion feeling of this boy, who I supposed was a first year at the high school, was partially my fault. If I hadn't decided to walk on the edge of the path I wouldn't have this boy's lips on my own. He vaulted up after he realised that he kissed a guy. He stood there in shock watching me get up slowly. I looked at him in irritation.

"Are you not going to apologise for knocking your senior over and then cracking my tooth?" I said probably looking murderous giving him a side glance while moving my jaw around with my hand. I could tell he was surprised and a bit scared.

"Ah-I'm sorry!" he bowed, "Don't hurt me!" he yelled as he ran off.

"Che-Stupid kid. It's not like I'm from the Yakusa or something." I stared at his back as he ran. I sighed and picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder again. I looked down and realised something.

"Crap! My PS3 and laptop!" I had put them in my suitcase as things to relieve boredom. And now, they lay in a suitcase that got flung to the ground. I opened it hurriedly and check them both. They seemed fine. I checked the watch that was on the inside of my wrist.

'Better get going,' I thought. I picked up the now closed suitcase and walked to the end of the path. It was kind of a crossroad there. I reached into my jean pocket and pulled out a crumpled and folded piece of paper. I opened it and looked at the map my friend had drawn over the winter break. He did it just in case I had transferred during the year. According to the paper I had to turn left, which I did. Exploring can be done later.

I walked to the end of this new path and found a house before me. It looked like it was an old dorm. I walked up to the door and peered in. A pair of slippers lay on the polished wooden floor awaiting my arrival. I took of my favourite converse and put them on the shoe shelf and slipped my feet into the slippers. I picked up my bags and took a step forward. Because I wasn't used to wooden floors I slipped and fell forward onto my face. I had a feeling that my nose had broken but I wasn't sure because everything went black. I woke up to a boy shaking my shoulder.

"Hey, hey person, are you alive?" He said still shaking me. I groaned in complaint to the strong shaking that made my head hurt.

"Shaddap, and my name isn't person." He smiled at my 'revival'.

Rin Okumura's POV

I had walked in moments earlier when I found someone lying on the ground with a small pool of blood around his head. I had panicked and rushed over to him.

I rolled this unknown boy over to see if he was alive. I took out my handkerchief and wiped the blood away from his face, being careful not to touch the nose that was at an odd angle. I was trying to shake him awake. I had been successful after a few minutes when I heard his groan of complaint.

"Hey, hey person, are you alive?" I said.

"Shaddap, and my name isn't person." He replied. He reached up and touched his nose.

"Umm, I don't think you should do that." I said. He completely ignored me and grabbed the end of his nose and pulled it forward quickly. He sucked it air through gritted teeth. He quickly reached for the handkerchief in his pocket because his nose had started bleeding again.

"Hey are you all right?" I asked. He had a sarcastic look on his face and a smile to.

"I'm doing swimmingly." He said. He sighed and stood up. He picked up his bags and turned toward me.

"Hey, can you show me to room..eh.." he reached for his pocket and pulled a crumpled piece of paper. "Room six." I looked up at this interesting stranger. He had silvery white hair that was tied in a small ponytail at the nape of his neck. His hair fell over his eyes and if it wasn't there I'm sure he'd look a bit like a girl. What I found odd is that he had two black braids on either side of his head that were tied into his ponytail. I just noticed his also slivery eyes. They reflected calm, cool and peaceful emotions.

"C-could you tell me your name?" I bit my lip annoyed at my stutter. 'What the hell is wrong with you man? He's not a girl so why did you stutter?' I thought annoyed at myself.

"Yuki Hiragi. Please call me Yuki." He said.

"I'm Rin, Rin Okumura." I said almost regretting it when I heard his answer.

"Nice to meet you Rinrin," Yuki said stretching out a hand.

"My name is Rin, not Rinrin!" he sneered when I said that. He pulled my cheek like a granny and said in a way people talk to little babys:

"Aww does poor little Rinrin not like this?"

"Don't call me that!" I yelled. I saw Yuki's eyes go blank for a second and then he moved back taking his hand off my cheek. Just then Ichigo and Kouya came in. What they saw must have surprised them because they stoped talking to each other and stared at us. Kouya looked amused and Ichigo looked slightly worried.
