Prologue
I always thought that I lived a normal life. I did, but that was before that fateful day. The day Misato High School vanished. I was a student at that school. No, I still am. It's just... No one will ever find us. Just like we will never get home.
Chapter 1 - The Fateful Day
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring. I groaned. Was it already time to go to school? I didn't even finish last nights homework. I was too busy playing online games with my friends. I mentally slapped myself. It didn't even occur to me to do the homework until now.
"Ryousuke, come get your breakfast!" My mother yelled from the kitchen. I threw on my school uniform and went into the kitchen. Immediately, the smell of rice filled my nose. That was all I ever ate for breakfast. Rice. A very bland food, but all I needed for breakfast.
"Ryousuke, your sister told me that you were playing computer games with your friends instead of doing your homework last night. Is this true?" My mother asked me. I nearly choked on my rice when she said that. Damn that Yukie!
"Um, yeah. Sorry." I said intelligently. I couldn't think of anything else to say.
"You should know better by now, Ryousuke. You're only allowed to play games after you finish your homework!" Said my mom. I just pretended to listen. I already knew this, I just didn't abide those rules. I still had mediocre grades even though I hardly ever did my homework.
"Yeah, it won't happen again!" I said with grossly fake enthusiasm. I grabbed my rice bowl and chopsticks and put them in the sink and quickly ran out the door to school. "Bye mom!" I said from the doorway.
"Have a good day at school!" She replied. I closed the door behind me and began my walk. I was so not in the mood to get yelled at by Konishi-sensei for not finishing my homework again. Ugh, I guess I'd have to deal with it.
"Kazami-san? Is that you?" I heard a soft female voice say. I turned around and saw the source. It was Miyamura Aoi, a very soft-spoken girl who was one of my closest friends. She was wearing her long black hair in a pony tail today, so you could see her large pale blue eyes very well behind her glasses. She looked very pretty.
"Aoi, just call me Ryousuke. We've been friends since Elementary school. We're in High School now." I said while smiling.
"U-Um ok." She replied. I noticed that she was blushing. Man, that girl gets embarassed easily.
"So, how was your weekend Aoi?" I asked trying to create small talk.
"Um, well I-I got a new computer. Shibasaki-san was over and he broke my other one." She said.
Shibasaki-san? I think she means Ken'ichi. Shibasaki Ken'ichi is another one of my best friends. He is known at school to be a delinquent, even though he's not as bad as everyone thinks. Ken'ichi has two piercings above his left eyebrow and has his hair spiked back, and he almost always wears a smirk on his face, but he is actually really nice once you get him to open up. Although he is a bit arrogant.
"What did he do to your computer?" I asked Aoi.
"W-Well, we were playing a game, and he was getting really into it. when he lost, he pounded the table which caused water to spill on it." Said Aoi. I sighed. Ken'ichi is way to competitive soometimes. At least he makes games more interesting that way.
"Sounds fun." I said sarcastically.
"It actually wasn't very fun." She replied. I chuckled a little bit. Aoi always took sarcasm a little too seriously. We were finally closing in on our school, Misato High School. It was a large school that was 3 stories high. There was about 2500 students that went to this school if I remember right.
"Well, I better get to class. See you after school, Aoi." I said. I walked through the front doors of the school building and walked towards classroom 1-C. I grabbed the handle of the door and slob the door open to enter the classroom. Class 1-C was as normal as usual. It was one of the most boring classes in this school. Especially compared to the rowdy class 2-A, the class that Aoi was in. 2-A was always known for their over the top activities such as throwing full out parties every time someone had a birthday.
"Sup, Ryousuke. Haven't seen you around for a while!" Said a deep voice. I knew it was Ken'ichi.
"Well, I was busy." I said in a fake 'bitchy' tone. He smirked.
"I doubt it. You probably wanted to get away from Aoi and I." He said. I noticed two girls in the back of the classroom that looked like they were swooning over Ken'ichi. I guess they liked the 'bad-boy' type guys. I sighed. I swear, Ken'ichi was going to have a fan club soon.
"No, I talked to Aoi last Friday." I said.
"For like two minutes I presume?" He asked. I glared at him. He just couldn't stop sometimes.
"Whatever. Just go sit down." I said. Ken'ichi walked away smirking.
I went over to my seat and sat down. Today was starting off like every other day. Seeing Aoi on the way to school, and Ken'ichi when i get in the classroom. Another boring school day, I guess.
Suddenly, the school lost power. Surprised screams erupted from the class for a few seconds.
I looked over to Ken'ichi. He was just sitting there with his mouth twisted into a slight frown. Suddenly, someone screamed.
"What the hell is this?!" A frightened student yelled. I looked around. Some students were actually glowing, and it looked like their bodies were fading away. I stared wide eyed. I was beginning to get nervous. The class was in hysterics, with some people crying, and others were actually passing out. I was beginning to feel dizzy myself. What the hell was happening? That's the last thing I thought before the world became black.
XxxxX
I woke up with light shining brightly into my face. I moved around a bit and realized that I was laying on the ground. I sat up and looked around. All of my classmates from 1-C were lying around me. It looked like we were in some field.
"Kazami-kun? You're awake too?" I heard a single person ask. I looked over and recognized her as Sakurakoji Miaka.
"Y-Yeah." I stammered. Why the hell were we lying in a field?
"Do you know what's happening?" She asked.
"No, I'm afraid not." I said. Who would? It was like we suddenly teleported to another dimension or something.
"Oh.. I'm just really scared. I was awake the whole time, and I saw how we ended up here." She said. "I was wondering if you were also awake the whole time since you were awake like this too." She added.
"No, I passed out before we ended up here. What did you see?" I asked her.
"Well, everyone's body was glowing and fading, including my own. When Everyone fully faded, including myself, it was like we suddenly appeared in this field. When we first got here, everyone's bodies were glowing different colors, and showing some elemental symbol or something. It was really unnerving." She explained. Everyone's bodies had some elemental symbol above it? That made me curious. I would have to investigate that somehow. I heard someone groan behind me. It looked like the others were beginning to wake up.
"What in the hell just happened?" I heard a drowsy voice ask. It sounded like Ken'ichi.
"Sakurakoji-san. have you tried calling someone with your phone yet?" I asked. She looked at me quizzically.
"No. Why?" She asked.
"Because our cell phones are tied to a carrier, if they were suddenly untethered, they would 'deactivate' . If that's the case, we might be somewhere that has absolutely no phone service." I explained. Sakurakoji looked at me with an expression of understanding and grabbed her phone from her pocket. She looked at me with an expression of horror.
"How are we going to find our way back? My phone shows the deactivation message!" She said scaredly. I hadn't expected myself to be this right.
"That means we're very far away from civilization.." I muttered. "Not good."
"Ryousuke, you're really acting out of character." Said a deep voice from directly behind me. I jumped up slightly.
"Ken'ichi! Holy crap you scared me!" I shouted. He just looked at me weirdly.
"I've been behind you for the past 5 minutes." He said. I sighed. I must have been too into my conversation with Sakurakoji-san.
"Anyways, do you have any idea where we might be?" I asked him. He looked at me for a second and then replied.
"Yeah, I think I might have an idea, but it's really far fetched. I doubt a dumbass like you will even realize what my theory is." He said while smirking. Looks like normal Ken'ichi is back.
"Either way, we have to find out where we are, and soon." I said. We couldn't just have 30 High School students lying in a field for a day.
"It looks like the 'appearing people' report was not a hoax." Said a hooded man standing near some scrubby trees said. The clothes he was wearing really looked familiar, but where have I seen them before?
"Who are you?" Asked Ken'ichi rather harshly. The hooded man just chuckled.
"You really remind me of someone from Fairy Tail." Said the man. Fairy Tail? As in the manga/anime series? The man removed his cloak and revealed his face. I gasped. He looked exactly like Jellal Fernandes from Fairy Tail! I heard Sakurakoji gasp as well. Just where did we end up?
