Chapter 1 Hair Cut

Summary: Advanced humans. Called Futures that can see the will of time. But among those bunch are only a few rare Futures that can tell the unwritten past, and perhaps, reveal secrets not even the other Futures can see. These important beings are different humans, almost not human. As such, they need to be divided, and perhaps protected. This is the story of a girl and her quest as a regulator that protects the Futures.

I'm Yuuki Cross. Brown hair, and auburn eyes. Pink lips and a button nose.... All and all, average. An average girl just sitting here, watching a police officer and my Social Studies teacher fight about who gets to make me suffer today.

"They needs to come into HQ for questioning!" The police officer wailed.

"Yea and? They have to stay for detention!" The Social Studies teacher shrieked.

This was all about the last Future's prediction. The town was in an uproar because it wasn't properly announced to the public so only rumors floated around. Aparently these fantasys the villagers created in order to fill their disire for the truth brought the police to me.

"I need the Regulators to awnser questions about the Head Furture's predictions so we can clear up the suspitions about the chief!" The police oficer screamed pointing his finger out.

The teacher turned her back to him. "Why do i care! As far as i'm concerned the sheriff diservers those rumors about him! He has done nothing to help this town!"

The Police oficer leaned in, his fist shaking.

"Why you..."

The teacher turned around and grabbed a ruler.

"You want a lesson, huh?"

"Bring it."

I stood up and waved my hands.

"Why don't Zero and I just call it quits for today, and you guys can figure this out tomorrow." I advised

The teacher looked at me and squinted, evily as if to say -stay-out-of-it-. The police officer didn't even look at me he just stated harshly,

"Sit, Cross!"

I plopped back down in my chair, embarrassed.

"I don't even know why you bother, they're too stupid to acomplish anything, much less a compromise."

True. This happened every week. A new officer, and a different teacher from my school, fighting over who gets me. I banged my head on the table.

"Things would be so much easier if i could just fly away."

"Zero?"

He mumbled a 'hmm?'. I Looked up at him. He was kind of slouched over the desk with his hand underneath his chin, suporting his head. Alot of times, I thought he did that because he would just fall down of bordom his he didn't keep himself straight. He never cut his hair, it had been bothering me for awhile. I couldn't see his face alot, he could easily hide it from me now. His eyes where always hard to see behind his silver hair. I loved his pale amythest eyes, I wish he let me see them more often.

"What, snap out of it, Yuuki!"

I shook my head. Go-lly was I staring at him the whole time?!

"Huh?"

"What did you want to say?"

"Right, right. I was gonna say-"

Now, of course he'd say no. I had never cut his hair before, but i wanted to cut it because when he did cut it, it would barley change at all.

I pulled my secret weapon out, my puppy eyes. My best shot, normally they didn't work, but this time if they didn't, it wouldn't matter.

"After this, can I cut you hair?' My eyes sparkled.

...

....

....

"No."

I sank back down on the desk. I gazed up at the fighting citizens of the town. If i wasn't a Regulator, I would be up to date with homwork, and of course I wouldn't be going into the police station every 3 weeks. I still remember talking with Zero about it. His parents were 'desolved' by the Future's elimination squad. If the Future's decide somone they see in their visions is a threat, they are eliminated. Zero told me he took this job to find a way to desolve our council of Furtures. But i can't understand him, the job of a regulator is absolute.

Regulators must report any new visions to the public, unless instructed by the council otherwise.

2. The Future's must never come into contact with mortal life that is of no importance.

3. Regulators will protect the Futures, even at the cost of death.

I was sure he knew our rules. But i guess he never read the third one. I looked at him questionably. We have the head Future here, he has the power to see the past. One of the rarest Futures, a Diamond Future. His name is Kaname Kuran. I was made the newest Regulator because of him moving here recently. We need two Regulators present to protect the growing number of Futures that swarmed over to Kaname like bees to honey.

Everyone adores the Futures, but we arn't aloud to let the Futures comunicate with life that is not their own. It's perhaps because people do not want to see the result of the Future and a human together. Or maybe, one of the Futures, themselves, had prodicted great sorrow from the outcome.

Even knowing i'm not supposed to let anyone talk to them. I can't stop myself from talking to the Futures. It's like i'm drawn to them, or to be more specific, Kaname. And i'm not sure why.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

Zero questioned.

The bell rang and i realized i had been staring at him the whole time i was thinking!

Now began the patrol around the resident houses for the Futures.

On occasion, demons would trail by or come for the Futures, wanting them for their own world's benfit. This was one of those nights where a demon just stumbles by and thought i was it's dinner.

"Yuuki duck!"

I gave Zero a puzzled look as he swump his leg at me face. I quickly ducked and he swung his foot deep into the face of a putrid, low level, swamp demon.

It launched some type of goop at him and Zero instinctively jumped up to dodge it. I back away from the demon and glanced at the weird substance that had just came out of the demon's mouth. It started to melt the ground! Zero zoomed down and grabbed my waist, fligging me under his arm and jumping off the balcony onto a branch.

The demon squirted its venom again and Zero jumped down, off the melting tree and put me behind a bush.

"Just.. Stay here."

I waited until he left and then i stood up and grabbed the ani-demon weapon under my uniform skirt. I jerked it back, extending it, the shinning metal sparking a bit.

"Yea right, i'll stay here!"

I rushed out and ran up next to Zero.

"What made me think you wern't going to stay behind the bush."

"Well, seriously, i'm not the damsel in distress or anything. I can fight, you know."

He frowned.

"Newbie."

I struck him with my stick, or baton, or poll... Whatever, i was just mad as heck.

"How dare you, i've been doing this job for months now! And who they heck chooses a bush for a hiding spot!?"

"You're the one who's the usless partner!"

I stopped, making an effort to say somthing...

"It's found us."

Somthing grabbed Zeros foot and he looked down, it was a root that was growing up his leg and on his arms. Zero fought with it, the root was trying to pin his arms down.

He bit his lip.

"Yuuki, watch out!"

An arm sprung up from the ground and grabbed my ankle. I took my staff and jabbed the open dirt. I made a wailing noise and light shot up from the ground, forcing out the demon. It squirmed and thrashed on the ground. I pulled the end of my staff out and pulled my sword clean out, quickly ending the demon's life. The demon went up in flames and disapeared.

I turned around and looked at Zero,fuming about his previous comment.

"Now who is the useless partner!?"

He sighed. The roots had won, sucessfully bringing him to his knees and his arms ties up behind his back. I gave him and evil look, pulling out my sword.

"Yuuki?"

"Time for your haircut!"

I grabbed a lock of his bangs an sliced it off. His head hung down, depressingly, getting a hair cut was not supposed to be this gloomy.

"Oh come on, it isn't that bad."

He didn't say anything.

I sighed, closing me eyes, and finishing the cut on his bangs, i felt a prick I opened one eye.

"Ow."

I had cut my finger, the blood spued out of it.I didn't know what to do so i just stared at it.

I recklessly dropped the sword. Instead of scolding me for being a clutz Zero lifted his hands up and let the blade fall between his binded hands and cut the roots, setting hime free. He turned around, after freeing his legs.

"Here let me see."

He took my hand and looked at the little slit in my finger. It was dripping with blood.

"You didn't even clean it off, now come on."

He pulled my finger into his mouth. I gasped, blushing, I could feel my finger getting numb inside his mouth. Time seemed to stop and i was right there in that moment. I feel the warmth of his lips and I shook my head, actually looking at what he was doing.

"Zero...I.."

He took his tie and pulled it off wrapping it around my finger.

"There."

"Thanks."

I looked at the tie on my finger. It was rapped around my palm and it curled up my finger to the cut and tied off.

"Is everyone alright, I sensed a strange sensation so i came to check it out."

I turned around and looked at the person standing before me, his red eyes looking gentally at me, he smiled. The gaze, was to adiction, like a drug, it wasn't ment for me, for humans, it was too magical. I dropped down, bowing down.

"Kaname-sama."

Zero stood, his pale purple eyes facing off with Kaname's. In the moonlight, they both glistened. Zero frowned and looked at me, then back up at Kaname.

"Kuran."
