Chapter 1: Assumptions

Kira tapped her pencil impatiantly as she stared out the classroom window. Her seat was, thank god, right next to the windows, and the last in her row. She wasn't forced to mingle with the students she hated. She tore her attention away from the window, to the clock. 'Still not time...' Sighing, she scribbled down the notes that were on the board then went back to spacing out.

Kira went to Seiyo High, as did her boyfriend, Tsukiyomi Ikuto. One of the only people she had close to her, but lately...things had been different. She hadn't actually seen Ikuto for over a week. He had turned down every idea for a date she had, and didn't make an effort to make one himself. Naturally, they crosssed paths at Easter, but each time he seemed distant, and didn't say a word to her.

Before Kira could think too hard into the subject, the bell rang. She stood up right away and put her things away, walking out of the classroom and towards her locker. there was always an amount of people that made Kira feel uneasy, she never spent much time around the halls. Turning a corner, she saw Ikuto waiting outside of a door. Like recently, he didnt look at her. She noticed someone else was standing on the other end of the hall, someone she hadn't seen before. He was tall, with black hair and violet eyes. To her own surpise, she completely forgot about the fact that Ikuto was standing right there for a second. Kira shook it off and walked past both without a glace.

She reached her locker and opened it, starting to putting her books away when she heard the overly excited voice of her 'friend', Rika. "Have you seen the new transfer student?" Rika watched Kira expectantly, while Kira just groaned and rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, as always; He's a guy who's 'cute' by the whole schools' standards and every girl is throwing a fit over him, right?" Rika nodded and grinned as Kira rolled her eyes. "Yep!"

Rika then crossed her arms and leaned on the locker next to Kira's. "You should try to win him over, Kira. Let's face the facts, your relationship with Ikuto-kun isn't exactly sweet right now." Kira packed away the books she needed for her next class then closed her locker up. "No way, Rika. He's probably some jerk who's gonna have a cheerleader for a girlfriend tomorrow anyway." Rika shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, that's probably true.."

Without another word, Kira walked off. Keeping her gaze on the floor. She wasn't going to deny what Rika said about her relationship, she knew it was true. She turned a corner and raised her gaze from the floor, only to find Ikuto. Making out with the head cheerleader. Kira could just feel her heart break, and she was overwelmed with a sicking feeling. Tightening her grip on her bag, she turned around and ran down the other direction, trying not to let the tears out. Between looking down, and the tears welling up in her eyes, she couldn't exactly see where she was going. She collided into something, and was sent falling to the ground, along with her bag spilling out everywhere.

"O-Ow.." She muttered, and at that point, the tears were just running down her cheeks. She looked up to see what she had crashed into, only to find a boy. The same boy she saw in the halls earlier. This time, he was looking at her, slight concern on his face. "Are you alright?" He asked, bending down to help her gather her stuff. Kira couldn't find her voice to answer him. She shook her head and was looking around for her handkerchief, something to help dry her tears, until she felt something soft touch her cheek. Kira looked up and saw that he had her handkerchief, and was using it to wipe the tears off her cheeks. Kira still didn't speak, she just watched him. "You don't talk much, do you?" He asked her, a smirk across his face, but it went away as he noticed how serious Kira was. She was truly hurt.

"Kira!" Kira was about to speak to him, before she heard Ikuto call out her name. He was panting from running down the halls after her. "Look.." he started but before he could finish, she interrupted him. "I don't...wanna hear it.." Tears were starting to fall again as she kept her attention to the boy in front of her, who had picked up her stuff for her. Kira noticed he was looking back and forth from her to Ikuto, before he stood up with her bag. "Come on." He took Kira's hand and helped her to her feet, walking off with her. He didn't walk far with her though, before Ikuto grabbed Kira's other hand. "She's not yours to take care of." Ikuto glared at the boy. Kira had expected the boy to let go, and walk away; but he did the exact opposite. He pulled Kira closer to him, glaring back at Ikuto. "I don't think you did a very good job in the first place."

Kira snapped back to earth after that, and pulled her hands away from both of them. She didn't say anything, or look at either one of them. Kira ran down the hall, and out of the school. The first tree she saw was when she stopped. Panting, she leaned on the tree, closing her eyes and taking a minute to gather what exactly happened. A few moments later, it hit her that the new guy still had her bag. Kira only sighed. Her phone, homework and house keys were in that bag. Her thoughts switched over to the boy, but were quickly interupted by said boy.

"You forgot this." He was holding her bag out to her. Kira looked at him and blinked, but she made no effort to take her bag. He sighed and set the bag at her feet, then leaned next to her on the tree. There was a few minutes of silence before Kira finally spoke. "Thank you..." He smirked, "So you do speak?" He asked, teasing her. Kira scoffed. "Of course I speak." She rolled her eyes and looked away from him. "But who feels like speaking when you're heartbroken?" Kira bit her bottom lip, the pain was still so fresh. She was kicking herself inside for not seeing it coming. Kira knew he was a player, he'd played other girls, why'd she expect to be treated any differently?

"He's not worth your tears." The boy next to her spoke up, walking in front of her gaze. Crossing her arms, Kira tilted her head and looked at up at him. It was now she noticed how much taller he was, and how handsome he actually was. "Oh? And now I suppose you're going to tell me there's someone out there who is worth them?" He shook his head, "There's no one out there worth your tears." Kira frowned, and looked confused. He saw that she wasn't getting it and sighed, "Someone who really loves you isn't going to make you cry. Is that so hard to understand?"

"No, it's not." Kira answered, looking away again. "But it's highly unlikly that there's someone like that out there for me." "Well, you never know." He stated, "The universe is full of surprises." That got a laugh out of Kira, as she looked back at him. "That was a very corny line." He grinned at her, "I know." There was a pause before he spoke again, "I'm Shimizu Himitsu, and you are?" Kira smirked, and picked up her bag. She started to walk away before turning around; "Tenshi Kira." She answered, before running off towards home.

Sure, it was the middle of the school day, but Kira didn't care. She left anyway. Unlocking the door to her apartment while lost in thought. 'Shimizu Himitsu..' She tossed her bag into some corner of the living room, slowly taking off her annoying school uniform. Kira bit her bottom lip when she remembered what Ikuto had done. For some reason though, she didn't feel the sicking pain that she felt before. She felt...relieved. Why did she feel relieved? The man she loved - or she thought she did - just betryed her. Kira shook her head and walked over to the laundry, putting on some shorts and a tank top. She sat down on the couch, slowly falling asleep while thinking of a certain boy with violet eyes.

A loud knock on Kira's door snapped her awake, then she heard Rika's loud, annoying voice. "Kira! COME ON! We're gonna be late!" Kira blinked sleeply before noticing the clock read 6:15. 'I slept that long?' She thought as she messily threw on her uniform and grabbed her bag, running out the door, completely ignoring Rika. Kira wasn't the least bit excited to go to school, but she was eager to see Himitsu again. They didn't have classes together, but maybe she'd see him in the halls again. Or worse, she'd see Ikuto again. She wondered if he considered their relationship over or not. Kira did, that was certain. She grinned to herself, she actually felt free. Kira ran into the school building and to her classroom, already wishing class was over.
