Author's Notes: Monochrome is based in Penguin Brothers, I don't own it and so as Kingdom Hearts. And also…I don't own Tetsuya Nomura…okay:blushes: Please don't sue me, what you can only get from me is a very noisy kitten and a penguin…if you're lucky, you might get a box of chocolate pocky out of me. I'm sorry for OOC-ness of the characters here…especially Namine…but I think it's fun imagining her like that…

Summary: Namine Takaishi goes back to her hometown at her junior year, knowing that Gakuen Tasogare is a private school that doesn't wear uniforms, it was going to be a normal high school life. Or that's what she thought…Oh! What's this? Black and White uniforms?! Who is Riku and Roxas?! What's this 5-ear-pierced guy Sora up to her? AU OOC

Monochrome

"We were blind, only to see black and white than to see how much colorful life can be…until we met you…"


The day before transferring at noon, Takaishi Namine went upstairs, straightly to the second room to the left at the hall. 14, blonde hair and blue eyes, she was definitely not Japanese. It was their second week they have stayed in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Kanto, Japan. It is however, sad to say, she cannot read Japanese, nor does she know hiragana, katakana, or kanji. But she does know how to write her name and romaji. How can she, if her uncle, Nomura Tetsuya travels across the world like, everyday?

"Tsuya-chan!"

"Tsuya-chan!!!" Namine lifted her leg slightly to put her right foot on top of his head. Tetsuya groaned in annoyance.

"Hey!!! Get your lazy smokin' cigarette butt up! It's past noon already!!!" Namine exclaimed angrily. You may wonder, why Namine is like that to her uncle, Tetsuya had taken care of her ever since she was a first grader right after he graduated from a university, and their intimacy was completely matchless than any other relativity she had. Her uncle blossomed as one of the famous video game endorser ever.

And still, Tetsuya didn't budge. She glared at the sleeping form and tapped her foot. "You're 30 already and old! You haven't changed a bit when you were 19!!!"

Finally, Tetsuya rose up from bed as Namine removed her foot. "I'm still 29 you know…" he then rubbed his eyes and lazily looked at Namine.

"Well, I'll be going to school now…"

"I thought you were supposed to start school tomorrow?" Tetsuya asked as he lit a cigarette. "The school called, they were going to tour me out on the campus! I'll see you later Tsuya-chan! Please don't eat all the fruitcake!" and with that, Namine left the house.


"Oh my kami it is so big!!!" she exclaimed as she looked at the buildings, there were three of them, all seven stories high, but her joy fell when she felt someone hammered her with a piece of wood. "You are such a disgrace…" The PE teacher, Xigbar muttered under his breath. "Just follow me or get lost." He ordered as Namine followed behind. "Sheesh, talk about mood swings…" she thought. Which we aren't talking…

They reached the gym, it was Olympic-sized, clean and organized. She awed the place. "So beautiful!!!!" she exclaimed starry-eyed. Xigbar looked at her weirdly. This is the stupid friggin' gym, what's so beautiful about it? Is she an airhead?

To Namine's curiosity, she found students walking pass her by, with oddity in their eyes as they glared at her direction, what really bugged her was they were wearing uniforms. Black, and white.

"Sir, I thought students don't wear uniforms…"

"That's not important, I'll tell you later," As Xigbar continued to vent about the school facilities.

"Ah, sir, can you tell me how I passed the test? I'm not really smart, but I can't believe myself I passed!!!" she asked in curiosity. Xigbar, again who was interrupted with his explanations, punched her mentally. Curious naive minds…

"Your famous uncle paid us." He blatantly said, as Namine's thoughts of her, finally having high intelligence, fell. "Oh…"

"I'll leave you hear for a while, I have some appointment to my colleague…" Xigbar left Namine with a sinister smile across his face, whilst Namine, too occupied with her shallow thoughts.


"I thought students don't wear uniform…and if they do, why are there two? And why are some, wearing in plain civilian clothes? My head hurts!!!" Namine told herself as she hugged her bag, she let her feet lead her anywhere. And since her head was so full of so many thoughts, wearing platform sandals, it was worth losing her poise from twisting her foot, her face kissed the floor. Ack!!! My nose!!! It hurts!!! She groaned in annoyance and sat up, unaware that she just caught most of the students' attentions, disgusted.

She rubbed her nose roughly, only to see her hand with blood. But she didn't cry.

"Ouch!!!" she winced, and rummaged on her bag for some tissue, still sitting on the floor, the hallway already empty to witness a boy kneeling down beside her, with a handkerchief on his hand.

Namine looked at the bleached blonde boy, it matched his cold eyes. She felt frigid just with the sense of her hand touching his.

"Ah! Thank you!" she gratefully took the handkerchief and wiped her nose.

"You have a scar here, Namine." His index finger traced on the gash across her nose. But that didn't catch our heroine's attention.

Would you believe me, if that handkerchief changed everything?

Wide eyed and slack jawed, she didn't manage to ask his name.

"Roxas." He introduced…

"Oh! Hi there Roxas! I'm Takaishi Namine, I think you already know that!" she said with glee. But he wasn't introducing.

"Tsukamoto Roxas." He said. She uncannily looked at him.

"Yeah I already know that,"

"Tsukamoto Roxas." This time, his voice was firm.

Because it did…

"Uhm, yeah! You just said it!" Annoyed, Namine stood up with her feet and said.

"Tsukamoto Roxas!" She saw the hurt in his eyes, but it suddenly washed away with other feelings.

"I already know that!!!!" Namine retorted back.

"Tsukamoto Roxas! You have to remember that tomorrow, baka!!!" Roxas angrily turned his back and left her confused. And mad.

"B-baka?! Hey mister!!! We just met!!!"

I made so many things confusing, painful and most of them didn't made sense…

Namine watched him stormed off in anger as his shadow followed him, until he was out of sight. "Remember him? Who is he?! I don't know him!!!" she exclaimed to herself.

But I made things better too…made black and white to technicoloured.
