Chapter 1

The sun high in the sky shines life to all who wanted to bask in the rays of warmth and light.

Clouds scattered around the sky giving cool shades to those who wanted to relax.

In the green lush forest, the sound of creatures lurking about performed a symphony of nature. At day, it was cheerful and full of life. At night, it was mysterious and deep as though it allows the imagination to come alive.

There is a lake at the very center of the woods; the cool, fresh water sparkled as though it glistened with pure crystals every time light shined on its surface.

Not too far from its edge, there was a boy who couldn't be more than ten years old. He wore a yellow shirt with a black hoodie over it. His blue pants were stained with dirt and grass, but he does not mind it. His feet were covered with white socks and black sneakers. He had pale skin that greatly contrast to his blue-black hair. There were, however, two aspects that stands out:

Around his left wrist was a bracelet consisted of 13 marbled size-beads; each with a different color and engraved mark. Surrounding those beads was a power not of the Human World.

And finally...

His blue eyes-the color of the sky; freedom, hope, and change.

The very same eyes that sees into the very souls of people, picking them apart to reveal their true nature. The very same eyes that watches the creatures that no human can see nor interact because they simply don't want to. But not to this boy because he simply wanted to be friends to the creatures who were ignored for what they are.

This boy was Hanae. Ashiya Hanae.

A boy who has the ability to see and interact with youkai. The very same boy who befriended many youkai. The very same boy who had to hide his gift for the sake of his Mother.


Author's Note: This is a new story I am going to write next. You can consider this as an AU too because there will be changes from the actual anime/manga. Make note of the beaded bracelet because it will be important.

I won't be able to update this story frequently like my other story "Flowers That Never Leaves." So please be patient and I will get the next chapter by either Monday or Tuesday.
