I HAVE NO RIGHTS OVER THERE WHATSOEVER!

If I did I so would've changed that ending! OTL * glares at PSP * How dare you do that to Minato! D8

Time never waits.

It delivers all equally to the same end.

You, who wish to safeguard the future,

however limited it may be . . .

You will be given one year;

go forth without falter,

with your heart as your guide . . .

Let us see if you can save your brother from his slumber;

or share his fate both . . .

My brother . . .?

I opened my eyes and looked around the New City passenger train "Anehazuru . . ." I don't know why but I felt like something was right next to me . . . if not maybe even standing right where I was standing in the horde of passengers.

" Due to malfunction in the switching system, today's rail schedule has been greatly altered. We apologize to any customers who were in a hurry. "

" The next stop is Iwatodai . . ." the announcement echoed throughout the whole train. Strangely enough for me . . . I was able to hear that clearly over my music . . . Finally after 10 years, I was returning home to where me and my brother were born . . .

After a few miles another announcement is made . . .

" Iwatodai. This is the final train bound for Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure. "

Luckily for me, I was the only one getting off this stop, when the train stopped and the doors opened I made my way out and began to walk to the map for directions. I looked at my mp3 and I saw it was almost midnight . . .

For some reason I felt like I was moving in slow-mo. Everything around me began to change . . . The lights turned off, the monitors and bulletin turned off as well. Including my mp3, though I just assumed my batteries died. Shoot, I knew I should've charged it before boarding the train. But I still couldn't help shake the feeling about the atmosphere seeming odd . . . It was then I saw someone heading up the stairs.

The only thing that crossed my mind was it'd be best to hurry to the dorm and ask whoever that was just now what happened. With that in my head I ran up the stairs to catch up.

As I was ascending up the stairs into the streets my eyes grew wide as I saw the sight before me . . .

There were coffin-like objects lining the deserted city, and to top that off when I looked up to the sky instead of seeing a dazzling moon before me was an eerily gigantic moon surronded by a haunting green sky . . .

Fear was beginning to take over my body . . . There was no one around me, including whoever that was that came up here before I did . . . He's nowhe-

" Wait! " I shouted, from the corner of my eye I saw that figure again turning to the next street.

Over coming the fear over my body I quickly ran after them again. Just what was going on in this city?

After awhile of mindless chasing I lost sight of whoever I was following. Luckily for me I lost sight of them on the street the Gekkoukan High School, Iwatodai dorm was located on . . .

I look at the pamphlet in my hand. Yup, this the dorm mentioned in the admission pamphlet.

" I better get in now . . . " I reached for the door and finally stepped inside.

The whole floor was empty. All the lights were off and no one was around.

"Welcome."

I nearly jumped out of my shows when I heard that. Finally I hear someone else, but something about that voice seemed so mysterious . . . When I walked up to the counter a little boy walked out of the shadows on the other side.

The little boy had pale white skin, sort of like my brother. He had short dark blue hair with sky blue eyes and a small mole under left eye. His clothes sort of reminded me of inmate clothes . . . black and white stripes all over, but he's too young to of done any crimes!

The silence finally broke when the little boy spoke . . .

" You're late. I've been waiting a long time. " he said, while bringing out a paper from behind his back and offers it to me . . . " If you want to proceed, then please sign here. It's a contract." He continued with . . .

But a contract? The pamphlet said nothing about me signing a contract . . . I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

I take it he knew what I was thinking, he ended up breaking my thoughts when he said, " There's no need to be scared." He gave a smile to me before proceeding with what he said, " It only binds you to accepting full responsibility for your actions. "

With that said, he laid the contract on the counter. Beside it was a pen waiting to be picked up.

As I studied it closer there was something written on it . . .

" I chooseth this fate of mine own free will. "

Below that was a blank for me to sign my name . . .

Just as I was about to decline the offer I looked up to the boy and gasped from what I saw . . .

The mirror hanging on the wall behind the boy . . . Everything was there, including something that shouldn't. Behind me I saw someone standing there . . . That feeling I felt back inside Anehazuru began to resurface. There was definitely someone here with me and I was determined to find out who it was . . .

Before I could look back my arm reached forward and grabbed the pen . . . I couldn't stop my arm from moving. I had no control over my body. Before I knew it, my name was being written on the contract . . .

. . . Minako Arisato . . .

Me: * dancing around the room * Yay first chapter is done! * jumps out window out of excitement *
