Chapter 1

The city Tokyo was never normal but that just made it interesting. The gang named the red tags were a full of high school students who were always finding a way to stir up trouble one way or another. The leader of the group was no exception his name was Lavi Bookman, age 18, had red hair that was usually messy, he wore an eye patch on his right eye due to an accident in the past he also wore his school uniform but in the (messy) way. The red tags would always roam the street to find something to do (because they were bored) .they had always been the toughest group in there city until an unfaithful day came running along into the city.

This something was called the white nightmare no one had ever go into contact with it or even wanted to. What it had looked like was unknown until some idiotic public viewers saw it. The nightmare had the shape of a person but you couldn't make out the details because it wore a black cloak with a hood over the head so people wouldn't see the persons face. It wore black pants and black boots with a white zip on the top of both shoes. The public were able to see white hair but it covered the right eye only leaving the viewers to see a red glowing left eye (a lot of people ran away from seeing that) the final detail that made everyone come up with the name (white nightmare) was because of it left arm it was large and metal with claws. That was what the city had called the white nightmare but the actions was not unspoken for half of the cops were chasing after it but the never could get it.

No one in the city had never even thought about who the nightmare was the only people who did want to know was the red tags the were angry that everyone though that the nightmare was better than them. So the made it their only priority to hunt down and capture the nightmare no matter what the had to do but never did the it cross their minds that the white nightmare was only a teenage girl. Her name was Allen Walker age 16 she had long white hair that went passed her waist and silver eyes that matched her hair perfectly she was a polite girl who always had a smile on her face but she was a bit quiet sometimes in awkward situations. The only thing strange about her was the bandage on her left eye. She was the only one who knew who the white nightmare but of course she would know because she is the nightmare herself.

So how did the leader of the red tags fall for the girl who was the white nightmare, it had all started on the first day of school. As usual Lavi had been awoken by the sound of his noisy alarm clock a loud moan came out of the boys as he clicked the top of it making it stop

"it's already morning….isn't today the first day of my last year in high school" he mumbled out slowly processing what he just said he laid there for a moment before quickly getting up "oh damn I have to get to school" he hurried himself to get ready he was already slipping his shoes on with his bag hung on the back of his shoulder opening the door "see ya later old panda" (his grandfather). He said as he rushed out of the house to head over to school even though he didn't really like going. Once he reached the school gates he slowed down his pace entering the school grounds once he got to his locker he switched his shoes for the indoor ones when something caught his attention. He saw a girl with long white hair and silver eyes talking with the principle they soon left the area leaving Lavi still glancing off where the girl had left to 'she must be a new student here I haven't seen her around her before…its strange but she looks strangely familiar…'a flash back of the white nightmare came flooding into his mind relating the same hair colour between the two. He shook his head too stop thinking about it and proceeded to walk to his classroom. A couple of minutes passed as Lavi sat down in his desk looking out the window when the bell rang signalling the first session had started the home room teacher had come in introducing himself to the class with a smile on his face and saying what any normal teacher would say at the start of the year. But something had quickly caught his attention to see the same girl he saw in the hallway

"This is our new classmate for the rest of the year now go on and introduce you're self then" the teacher said quite loudly. The girl had nodded to signify a yes

"My name is Allen Walker it's nice to meet all of you" she had said it perfectly with a smile on her face at that moment all eyes were on her 'looks like she's gonna be interesting maybe because of her white hair and silver eyes wait…. she only has one eye. The other is covered in bandages'. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to her left eye. But something was a bit off about the girl he couldn't explain why but something was just a bit strange. He snapped out of his day dreaming when the teacher started talking again.

"Go and take your seat besides Lavi at the back there he'll also be the one showing you around the school" he had said that with an evil grin which freaked out all of the class. Until Lavi had been able to proses all of what just happened "WAIT I'M DOING WHAT NOW?" Lavi had completely shouted making everyone cover their ears from the sudden outburst "like I said lavi you will be taking care of miss Walker for the week to get her adjusted to the school" he turned to look at the Allen who was beside him but was now in the seat he told her to be in. everyone turned shocked at Allen who was in her desk with a confused look on her face while looking at her classmate's "how…did you…" the teacher said well all most everybody in the class said that except for Lavi "I did what I was told, I moved to the desk like I was told to do" everybody just stared it started to make her fell a bit uneasy this did not go unnoticed ,well only lavi could see it. "Let's just get the class started already and stop making the newbie uncomfortable" everybody snapped out of the little stare they had given and turned towards the teacher like they were afraid of disobeying Lavi still making no sense of what just happened Allen gave him a thankful smile.

Lavi had been sleeping for most of the class but was awoken by the shaking of his shoulder he slowly opening his eyes to see Allen hand on his shoulder with a small smile said "Lavi wake up already it lunch time…oh, you're finally awake" she had removed her hand from his shoulder when he started to get up "so its lunch already" he was able to say through a yawn "yes, it is" the small reply came from Allen "alright then let's go" he said standing up and leaving "go where?" Allen replied having not understanding the situation "to go get some lunch or are you not hungry" she didn't have to reply for that one because then her stomach had growled making Allen blush at what just happened. It was hard for lavi not to laugh but he couldn't help it. It was the first time in a while lavi had laughed this hard Allen not containing it she had started to laugh along. When they were able to stop laughing they went to the cafeteria and Lavi brought them both them pastry bread they ate that on their way to the roof where they sat down a talked for a bit. "Thanks lavi" "for what?" lavi never got the answer but as small chuckle from Allen but that was alright with him.

Once the bell had gone they headed back to their classroom and through the session Lavi had fallen asleep. As for Allen who had stayed awake had been just listening to the lecture the class about the environment and the city and other stuff that Allen didn't' really care about. The only thing that went through her mind was about the red tags and the white nightmare. It had been troubling to her when she found out the red tags hated the white nightmare and wanted to find out who was stronger. This had been on her mind ever since the news reporter said that it was now an all-out war between the red tags and the nightmare, and it was still bugging her but when she was with her new friend Lavi she didn't really think about as much as she used to. It was the same with a lavi as well ever since he gave the order to find and capture the white nightmare it made him stay up late thinking about it, but when he was around Allen he felt like there wasn't anything that could stop him. For once he was happy.

It had been two weeks since the two had met and they had been hanging out together ever since then no one had told Allen about Lavi being the leader of the red tags. No one had ever seen Lavi this happy so no one told her about him, that's how some people thought.

It had been a couple days before the spring festival it's when the school hosts a festival and all the classes had to do something for it. This year (like every other year) the class had a vote on which they wanted to do for the festival.

"Alright class let's get started on what we are going to be doing for the festival this year" the teacher said with the usual happy go lucky attitude on (as always). Allen leaned over to lavi with the usual confused look on "hey lavi what is he talking about?" there was a moment of silence between the two (probable because Lavi was looking at the suggestion on the board that made him have second thoughts. "Huh oh right the spring festival" he had a hard time holding his laugh back because the look on her face made her seem a bit… 'Cute' "oh I get it that's why the teacher is so cheerful today" 'that's a way to say it I guess' lavi thought to himself about what she had just said.

"Lavi, Allen do you two have any suggestions?" he said with the evilest grin Lavi had ever seen

"Um…well…" Lavi gave a quick glance to Allen who was fighting off the glare from the teacher

"Yes we do" 'Allen don't say what I think you're about to say' Lavi had hoped that she wouldn't but luck was not shinning down on him today "why don't we do a café" Lavi looked up at the girl who was standing (in japan they stand up to say something in class) "Well I think that's a good idea" some of the girls said in the class as Allen was sitting down. "Okay but let's not make it you're average café" almost every saw what was coming from the demon teacher in the front of the room…almost everyone.

"Let's make it a card café where the people can come in and play poker with the waitresses" 'he had said that like the devil' "um teach… I don't really think that's a good idea" Lavi had said with the nervous look on his face "why not" he said taking the glare onto lavi quickly. "Have you forgotten about the s rank shark poker master" he had said trying not to insult the person right beside him. "Oh…I forgot…." At that moment everyone's eyes were on Allen "fine, fine I won't play poker with the students who come in" she said with a sigh "oh no Allen it's not up to you it's up to the guests who chose to play" the teacher said still having the evil grin on his face "well I guess that is fare and besides we are pretty lucky to have an expert on our hands" a girl in class had said happily looking at Allen who happily returned the smile. This made Lavi a bit annoyed.

When the bell rang for lunch Allen and Lavi went to their usual spot on the roof and sat down to talk for a bit "I don't have to play the poker game if I don't want to" Allen said looking straight trying not to make eye contact. "Well I guess so but like he said it's up to the students who come" he had said with a bit of annoyance this just made Allen start to wonder if Lavi was annoyed at the fact that she had to play cards. "I don't have a problem with you playing in this but…" Allen was shocked at what he just said 'what the hell can he read my mind or something?' "it's just I'm annoyed at the fact that you'll be a waitress" he said with his head down and having more annoyance than before "um…lavi there's no reason to be mad at me for being a waitress or something" Allen put her hands near her chest waving at the boy trying to not make him stress any further (useless). "no I'm not angry I' just annoyed that you will have to wear a waitress outfit, I mean nothing's wrong with the outfit it's just what you have to wear with it that's really strange….but quite common in japan" he said with full blast scaring Allen half to death. "Um….well…what's the strange thing then? "Now a bit scared but quiet curious to see what could make her friend act like this? "It's…the..." he said he bending down with his body shaking in what fear or something? "It's the what?" Allen urged him on. "IT'S THE DAMN CAT EARS AND TAIL… IT'S A DAMN NEKO MAID OUTFIT" lavi yelled head raised, body not shaking. "Lavi…" Allen sat there staring blankly at lavi in an awkward silence until "you damn pervert".

Something had randomly come to mind when the fiery red head had calmed down. "Hey lavi can I ask you a question" "you already did" Allen looked don trying to hide the blush on her face. "Lavi are you apart of the red tags" when she had said that It didn't go unnoticed by the red head that there was complete hesitation by the white haired girl "yeah I'm apart of them but why are you interested?" "Wha-wait no I-I was just wondering that's all, cause you're always busy an all lately….so I was just wondering, not that I never thought you were" she blurted out the sentence forcing out a small chuckle at the end. "Well I am but it's really not a big deal" "stop trying to act cool, stupid rabbit" Allen mumbled out quietly. "What was that?" lavi asked looking the least confused at the moment "oh nothing"
