Edited:(27/1/2016).
The city was bustling with activities as the people on with their lives. Peoples were going to and from places, doing what they wanted or planned to do. The lights of the city's building shines brightly against the blacken skies. The crowd moves through the streets, talking noisily against the loud sound of the passing cars. One of the pedestrian signal turns red as the crowd stop and the cars started moving.
A person amongst them sigh slightly as he waited along with the others. He reach to the back of his head and scratch it, rustling his messy silver hair. Eyes of darker colour roams through the crowd, absently looking at the people around him. Sighing again, he adjusted his dark brown jacket before slipping his hand into his dark blue jeans while scraping his black-white theme shoes against the pavement.
He closes his eyes and continue to wait, not noticing the signal turning green until someone brush pass him. Snapping his eyes open, he glances around quickly before following the crowd as they crosses the road. He continue walking for a few minutes before stopping in front of a random cafe
He slings his backpack forward and looking through it. It was a simple single strap backpack with chains hanging from the side. The backpack was dark green with an extra straps hanging from the side. He unzip another zipper and pull out a folded piece of paper before zipping it back up. Slinging it back over his shoulder, he unfolded the paper and looks at the content within.
It was a detailed sketch of a map to his destination. It includes directions and shortcuts along with a few pointers for some of the landmark to remember. They was also a detailed instruction and notes on the back of it with some warning and reminders written in bold, red letters.
He examines the map while occasional flipping it over before he folding it back up. He resume walking down the sidewalk at a sedated pace while looking around absently. A light rhythmic thump was heard as a black leather necklace with a teardrop shape gem in crimson thump against his chest as he walk down the street.
He keeps walking until he arrives in front of a train station. Walking up the steps, he then walks straight to the ticket booth, passing by random pedestrians along the way. After buying a ticket and swiping it through the train's terminal, he looks around the platform before finding an empty spot next to a pillar and walking straight to it.
He grabs the map from his jacket's pocket and looks at the instruction again. He glance at the station's monitor to see the schedule before checking his watch. 'If I get on this train, I should probably be there around 10 to 10:30 if there isn't any delay.' He thought to himself as he folds the map back up and put it inside his jacket's pocket.
As he waits for the train to arrive, he close his eyes and start reminiscing about the past and the place that he was going. '4 years...It has been that long since I left that place, since I left all of it behind...Wonder how much has change. What would she be doing now? Probably dishing out some cruel punishment to people again.' He shudders at the thought. 'May god have mercy on them if she is'
He was pull out of his thought when the station's announcement dings. "Attention all passengers, the next train will be arriving soon. Please be sure to stand behind the yellow line. Wait until the train properly stop and the people on board departed before boarding. Thank you." He stands up as the announcement ends and walks towards the spot behind the line.
He watches as the train slowly came in and slows to a stop. 'Dammit, why must there be so many people here in Japan?' he complains internally as the train's door open and a sea of people boarded out off it. He glares slightly at the crowd and waits as it thin out before quickly boarding. Looking around, he spots an empty seat beside the door and quickly sits in it.
He let out a sigh while leaning back against the seat as the other passengers got on board. He shift slightly in his seat so that his beg rested on his lap. The train finally start moving from the station, slowly gaining speed as they got further and further. He brings up his watch up and looks at it while thinking, 'I should probably get some shut eye. It'll be a while before we get there anyway...'
Shifting again in his seat, he made sure all of his stuff was secure before getting ready to take a nap. He close his eyes and slowly falls asleep, not noticing the beautiful blue butterfly that flutters ceaselessly in front him or the mysterious voice that seems to sound clearly against the noise of the compartment
Time never waits.
It deliver 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...
'…what was that?...' he mumbles in his head as he blurrily wakes up from his nap. Rubbing his eyes, he looks around the train to see that only a few people was left on board. He looks down at his watch before going wide eyes. 'Wha?... are you for real? We should be there already. Then why-' he was cut off from his pondering when the conductor speaks through the speakers.
"Attention all passengers, we will be arriving at the next station momentarily. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that occur during the delay. The next stop will be Iwatodai station. Thank you for your patience." He blinks in surprise from the announcement. 'Huh, so something happen when I was asleep. Wonder what happen." he muses to himself as the train slowly comes to a stop.
Getting up, he quickly got off the train before anyone else did. 'Nope, not gonna wait for even a second. I'm late already and I'm not gonna wait for another half an hour.' He grumbles in his head as he walks towards the entrance. Stepping out to the front of the station, he takes a deep breath before reaching inside his pocket and grabbing the map.
He opens it and looks through it intensively while re-reading the instruction, not noticing the person that was standing beside him. The person also brings out a pamphlet and looks at it. The clock within the station slowly ticks by as the two looks through their respective papers.
TICK.
TICK.
TICK.
TICK.
TICK...crack-TISSHHH!
As the clock strike midnight, the whole atmosphere suddenly changes. Confuses, he looks up to see what happen. It looks like a blackout had occur because all the electronic devices in the station was shutoff. The place was lit up in an eerily green glow with the light from the moon shining through the windows above. Pools of blood was on the floor with some dripping down the walls. There was also coffins, all standing upright like how a person was standing.
He narrows his eyes at weird atmosphere that happens before noticing someone to his left. Turning, his blinks his eyes as he sees another person beside him. The person is teenage boy, around the same age as him or maybe older. He has short dark blue hair that was left unkempt at the front and eyes of the same colour with a pale complexion to his body. He wears a grey unzip hoodie with a blue shirt underneath. A dark blue, almost black, pants on his bottom half with blue-white theme shoes covering his feet. He also has a MP3 player with the strap going around his neck that was connected to a pair of headphones that was drape over his shoulders.
He stare at the boy as the boy looks around the place before he turns and look at him. Both stared at each other for what felt like hours before one of them broke it. "So, do you know what happened to the other people?" He ask the guy. The blue haired guy just looks at him with a blank expression before shrugging slightly, putting his pamphlet inside his hoodie's pocket.
He lets out a hum as he looks around again with a thoughtful look. 'Wonder what happened with the others. And what the hell is up with all this spooky stuff.' He turn to ask a question just to see the guy wasn't there. Surprise, he quickly search around the entrance before seeing him already at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey! Wait a sec!" he calls out to the guy.
Noticing that the guy was ignoring him, he call out again while practically jumping down the stairs. "Hey! Dammit, wait up!" He run up to the guy as he walk down the streets and walks beside him. "You could have waited for me when I call you out, you know?" The guy just glance at him through the corner of his eyes, not breaking his stride. "...Sorry." the guy says with a monotone tone.
He just waves it off as they both walk down the eerily laminated streets. "It's fine. Though next time, try to listen to people when they talk to you alright?" They continue down the street before he looks back at the blue haired guy and hold out his hand. "The names Ryu by the way, Fujisaki Ryu." The guy turns his head slightly to look at the hand before shaking it with his. "...Makoto. Yuki Makoto."
Ryu smirk at the short answer. "It's nice meeting you then Makoto." He let go of his hand as they continue walking before looking up at the glowing yellow moon that looks a bit bigger than normal. "I'm taking a wild guess here and say that you're a transfer student too right?" Makoto replies while still looking forward. "...Yes, second year. You?" he ask blandly.
Ryu nods while crossing his arms behind his head. "Eeyup. First year at Gekkoukan High. You're going there too?" Seeing him nodding, Ryu gives off a smirk. "Cool, looks like we'll be schoolmate from now on." Makoto just lets out a 'hmm' as a response. They continue walking until Ryu looks back at Makoto with a questioning look. "Where are you staying by the way?"
He pulls out the pamphlet he was just holding moment ago and shows it to him. Ryu looks at it before chuckling at the name of the place. "Looks like we'll also be dorm mate too dude" Seeing Makoto looking at him with an eyebrow raise, Ryu pulls out his map and points at the mark place. "I'm going to stay there too." Makoto let out another 'hmm' as Ryu put his map back in his jacket's pocket.
The two of them was still walking, Ryu looking up at the sky and Makoto looking to the forward, for some time before they arrive at their destination. Ryu looks up at the building in front of him with both his hands on his hip while Makoto stare passively at it. "Well, looks like we're here. The light are on, maybe they have their own backup generator." He walks up the step before stopping in front of the door.
Looking back at Makoto who was still staring at the building, he ask with an amused smirk. "You can look at it later dude you'll have tomorrow and the days afterwards to look at anyways." Makoto smile slightly, almost unnoticeable if you didn't actively look, before climbing up the steps and standing beside him. He then grabs the doorknob while looking back at Ryu. He grins back at him before they both opens the double doors and steps inside.
Both of them looks around the room as they close the doors behind them. True to what they saw outside, the place does have their own electricity as some of the lamps are on. The place they were in looks like the front room with a pair of couch facing each other and a coffee table in the middle and a one-seated couch at one end of it. There was a TV situated at the corner of a screen divider with glass windows for the top half that divided the room, one was the lounging area and the other being the dining area judging by the chairs and table that they could barely see since that part of the room is dark.
They seem to be a reception area to their left with a counter and small mailboxes that fill the wall behind it. Behind the counter was a boy standing behind it, leaning forward with both his elbows on top of it. The boy has a short faded black hair, blue eyes and also a pale complexion though a bit lighter than Makoto. He has a mole under his left eye and is wearing a black-and-white strip pajamas with matching sandals.
The boy looks at them with a mysterious smile. "You're late. I've been waiting a long time for you." They blink as he snaps his fingers and booklet appears in front of them on the counter. "Now if you want to proceed, please sign your name here." He gesture to the booklet as it opens to show what seems to be a contract.
Both of them look at it as the boy continues to speak. "It's a contract. Don't worry, all it says is that you will accept full responsibility for your action. You know, the usual stuff." They look at each other before Makoto walks up to counter and grabs the quill that was beside it and sign his name. "Wait, you're seriously signing that?" Ryu ask while looking at the contract suspiciously,
Makoto looks back at back at Ryu with his signature blank look. "I mean, what if you the contract was about something dangerous or something that would affect our life or-" He stop rambling when he sees that Makoto is still staring at him but with an eyebrow raise with his small, unnoticeable smile.
Ryu recompose himself with a cough into his hand before walking up to the counter. He grabs the quill and looks down at the contract. Biting his lip slightly, he looks down at the contract for a few second before looking back the boy who was still smiling at them. "You are completely positive that this isn't some death contract, right?" The boy just let out a chuckle.
He looks down at the contract again before letting out a sigh. "Dammit, feels like I'm signing the Devil's contract." With that said, Ryu sign the contract with displease frown. With another snap of his fingers, the contract appears in the boy's hand. "No one can escape time, it delivers us all to the same end." He hold up the contract before twisting his hand and like magic, the booklet disappear.
"You can plug your ears and cover your eyes." The boy closes his eyes as the darkness behind moves. It slowly creeps forward, turning off the electricity in the room and slowly engulfing the boy. He looks at them with only his glowing blue eyes and his hand that was hold out to them, which was also slowly overtaken by the darkness. "And so it begins..." The boy then disappear, leaving both boys in the dimly room.
"Who's there?!" A voice suddenly call out. They look to front as a girl emerges from the darken area. She looks like the same age as Makoto with short, light-brown hair and dark brown eyes. She has a white, heart-shaped choker around her neck. She was wearing a pink sweater jacket, a loose red ribbon, a black mini skirt and black stockings with white lines on the sides.
All of that looks normal to them except for the red arm band on her left bicep and the gun that was strap to her right leg. She looks at them both with caution, sweat dripping down her the side of her face, while she unclip the gun's holster. Looking at them intently and breathing heavily, she was about to take the gun out before another voice was heard. "Takeba, wait!"
The brown haired girl quickly turns to look behind her as the place sudden lit up from its darken state. The voice belong to another girl, older judging by she looks, that was standing on the stairs. She was resting her hand on her hip as she looks at them all.
She has a long, dark red hair which covers the left side of her face, eyes the same shade as her hair, pale skin and a voluptuous figure. She is wears a white blouse with a big red ribbon around the neck, a black skirt that stops above her knee and a black high-heeled boots that also reaches below her knee. She has the same armband as the brown haired girl with the gun strap to her hip on the right side.
The brunette smile slightly as the redhead step down the stairs and make to stand beside the girl. "I didn't think you'd arrive so late. My name is Kirijo Mitsuru, I'm one of the student who lives in this dorm" The brunette glances at the boys looking at Mitsuru. "...Who're they?...Why are they here?" she whispered.
Mitsuru looks at her before replying, "They're are both transfer students. It was a last minute decision to assign them here. They'll eventually be move to their rooms in the boy's dormitory." The brunette then looks concern. "...Is it okay for them to be here?" Mitsuru just smile with her eyes close and says in an amused tone, "I guess we'll just have to see."
She looks back at the boys in front of her and says, "This is Takeba Yukari. She'll be a junior this spring just like one of you" while gesturing to the brunette. Yukari nods at them. "Hey..." Makoto nods back at the greeting before replying, "...Nice to meet you" She gives an awkward smile before greeting back. "Nice to meet you too."
She looks at the other person to greet him but pauses when she did. Ryu was staring at Mitsuru with wide eyes and mouth open slightly. Mitsuru in kind just stare right back at him with a smile. "You should probably close your mouth Ryu, you'll catch a fly if you didn't" She lets out an amuse chuckle as Ryu quickly cover his mouth with a slight tint of pink to his cheeks.
Yukari looks between the blushing Ryu and the smiling Mitsuru before asking a question towards Mitsuru. "Do you know him Mitsuru-senpai?" Mitsuru replies with a nod. "Yes, he is a childhood friend of mine." She is still smiling as she watches Ryu trying to recompose himself.
He cough into his hand slightly before grinning and introducing himself. "My names is Fujisaki Ryu and this is Yuki Makoto" he gesture to the person beside him who nod at the call before bowing slightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Takeba-senpai" She was caught off guard at the formality of the greeting before she bows back. "I-it's a pleasure to meet you too Fujisaki-san"
Mitsuru again smile at the scene before looking at the clock in the lounging area. "It's getting late" she says while looking at both of the boys. "Both of your room is on the 2nd floor, at the end of the hallway. Your things should already be there." She then turns to Yukari and give her a pair of keys. "Takeba, could you please?"
She nods at the request and looks back at the boys with a less awkward smile. "Come on, I'll show you the way. Follow me." She walks towards the stairs with Makoto in toe before he stops and looks behind him. Ryu was standing in front of Mitsuru with a hopeful and happy smile. "I have so many things to tell you."
"We'll talk later Ryu, you still have school tomorrow so you better get some rest." She stated with a stern voice before giving him a small smile "We'll catch up as much as we can then okay?" Ryu just sigh sadly while nodding in disappointment, "Okkaayyy..." he drawls out. Mitsuru let out another chuckle before reaching up and messing up his hair, causing him to pout and grumbles.
She smiles at his childish behavior before gesturing to Yukari and Makoto who's waiting for him at the stairs. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah..." he says droopily while he walks towards them and up the stairs with them. He follows Yukari as they went up to the 2nd floor and straight to the end of hallway.
She turns arounds and smile at them. "Well, here we are. It's pretty easy to remember huh? With it being at the end of the hall and all. The room on the far end is Yuki-san's while yours Fujisaki-san is the opposite of it. Oh, and make sure you never lose your keys or you'll never hear the end of it... Any question?" She finish while giving them both their keys.
Ryu looks at his friend to see him shaking his head. He then shakes his head while smiling. "Nope, we're good." Yukari's smile widens slightly before walking past them. "Well, if you need anything, I'll be on the floor above." She continues to walk before pausing by the stairs. She turns back to them with an uncomfortable look. "Hey...when you guys came here, did the two of you notice anything...weird?"
Both of boys blinks before glancing at each other. "No/Nope" they replied simultaneously while they look back at her. She chuckles at the act before smiling and nodding. "Oh, alright then. G'night then." She waves at them as she walks towards and up the stairs.
Both of them wave back at her before Ryu stretches his arms slightly and moves to his door. "Well, I'm gonna get some Z's. See you tomorrow dude." Makoto nods at him while going towards his door. Both of them unlocks their doors and steps inside while closing it behind them.
Ryu looks around the room he'll be living in, checking the place to see what he could change and not change. There was a sink to his immediately right with a mirror on top of it and dresser to his left. The bed was located at the far left corner of the room with a nightstand beside it. Two lamps was provided for the room, one near the bed and another near the table which was beside the desk that was underneath the window. They were a few boxes labeled 'FUJISAKI RYU' stacked together beside the desk.
'I'll unpack tomorrow after school.' he absently thought while slinging his backpack off his shoulder and putting it on the chair at the desk. He grabs an alarm clock inside the backpack and put it on the nightstand before sitting down on the bed and began the tedious task of taking off his clothes, leaving him in his white shirt and jeans.
Flopping down on the bed, he lets out a blissful sigh as he snuggles himself against it. He grabs the cover and pull it over himself while yawning. 'Man...what a day...coming here, making my first friend, meeting an old friend... wonder what next?...time will tell I guess' he thought to himself as he fully succumb to tiredness.
TICK, TICK, TICK, BBBBBRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!
The alarm went off to wake the occupant of the room. A cocoon made out of roll-up blanket shift slightly at the noise. It continue to shift around until a hand pops out from it. It then starts searching for the noisy alarm clock. The cocoon then rolls nears the nightstand and pats it before finally grabbing the clock and hitting the snooze button, stopping it.
The hand slack slightly as the cocoon let out a sigh. A few minutes pass by before the alarm clock rings again. Groaning at the disturbance of his sleep the cocoon unravel itself for Ryu to get up sleepily with some of the blanket hanging off of him. He let out a giant yawn before scratching his chest. He idly sits there, scratching his chest with his hair messier than before with trail of drool coming down from the side of his mouth.
After letting out another yawn, he stretches his body like a cat would before getting off the bed. He slowly shuffles towards the sink and looks at the mirror, still scratching his chest. He just stood there, looking at the mirror with droopy look on his face. Leaning down, he opens the faucet and start his daily morning routine of washing his face.
After a few minute of washing, he looks back at the mirror and checks for anymore sign of sleepiness. He then start tidying up his messy hair a bit. Before he finish, he caught a smell that was wafting from somewhere. Leaning back, he looks around the room while sniffing for the smell before he lift up his arm and smell it.
He flinch back quickly with a crunch-up face while waving his hand at the smell. "Damn, I smell like I went through a triathlon without taking a shower." He shudders at the lingering smell before quickly going to his backpack and pulling out a towel and some toiletries from it. He then open one of the box and pull out what seems to be a school uniform.
It was black zip-up blazer with the zipper in white and the Gekkoukan High School logo on the left side breast. The logo was a checker coloured circle inside a bold red coloured circle. It also comes with white button up shirt, a loose dark red ribbon and black slacks that reaches below the ankle. He looks at it for a few more minutes before folding it up.
He walks out of his room and straight down to the ground floor which where the showers were located. He looks around the lounge area to see if he was the only on up this early morning. Shrugging when he sees there was none, he then walks straight to the men's bathroom and start cleaning himself.
After a few minutes of intense showering, Ryu comes out of the bathroom with a sigh of relief while drying his hair with the towel that was around his neck, the necklace he was wearing yesterday resting against his chest. He adjusted the loose ribbon that was around his collar before looking down at his uniform. "Hmm...Seem alright I guess." He says to himself while inspecting it.
"It looks good on you Ryu" He perks up at the voice and looks to his left to see Mitsuru walking down the stairs, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday with the addition of the school bag in hand. She looks at him with a small smile before nodding her head. "It suits you perfectly" he scoffs at the compliment while still drying his wet hair.
"Morning Mitsuru-senpai." He greets her as she walks up to him. She sigh slightly while reaching out and adjusting his ribbon tie. "Just call me Mitsuru, Ryu. No need to be so formal." He lets out a chuckles, scratching the back of behind his head, not even noticing that she pauses and stare for a second. "There, now you look like a proper student and not some street urchin." He rolls his eyes at the jab as she finish adjusting his uniform.
He looks down at her with an eyebrow raise, "Why aren't you at school yet? Thought you would be there already." She in turn looks back at him with her own eyebrow raise. "I've made it my duty to accompany you to school today, as it is my job as the student council president." she explain before staring at him sternly, "I've heard you've been skipping school before coming here, is that true?"
"Pfff... Of course not. I wouldn't do that sort of thing." He says with a nervous laugh. Seeing her still staring at him intently, he quickly turns around and run up the stairs, "Be right back! Gotta get my bag!" Opening his bedroom door, he quickly throws the towel and grabs his backpack before going out while closing the door. He practically jump down the stairs before standing beside Mitsuru.
He looks at her with a cheeky grin before walking to the door and opening it with bowing. "Shall we be off then Milady?" he said in a mock-posh accent. She chuckles at the childish behaviour before standing straighter and speaking in a perfect polished tone. "Yes we shall Sir." She walks past him and down the step with him closing the door behind them, making to stand beside her.
They then begins walking down the street, still pretending to be sophisticated people. They continue do so for few minutes until Ryu burst out laughing. He holds his sides as he stop and laugh while Mitsuru follows suit but with a much more control laughter. After a minute of laughter, they both slowly calms down and continue walking.
They just arrive at the monorail station when Ryu ask a question as they waited for the monorail. "Hey Mitsuru, Do you know where I could find some supplies like medicine, tools and the likes? I gave mine to my landlord before I move here so I wanted stock it back up."
She rest a hand on her chin while holding said arm with the other. She thinks for a few minutes before nodding and looking back at him, "I think I know a place. But I have to know, why do you need those items?" He shrugs his shoulders as the monorail arrives at the station. "As you know, I like to do things on my own so I bought a couple of supplies for every possibility."
Mitsuru nods in understanding as they went on board and stand beside the monorail's door as it slowly departed from the station. "Yes, I remembered. You always wanted to do thing yourself so I wouldn't be surprise if you did." She smiles as she reminisce about the past. "You were so determine that you even ask your parents to help."
Ryu also smiles at the memory as he leans against the door. "How was your life been since I move Mitsuru? Did anything change while I was gone?" He ask while looking out at the passing scenery. She hums in thought while also leaning against the door with her arms loosely cross over her chest. "It's been well. All's the same...well except for Akihiko's obsession with protein powder. I swear it's getting worse by the day." She trails off in a grumble.
Ryu laugh slightly while looking at her in amusement, "Seriously? He's still eating those thing? Damn, he must pretty buff then with all of that in him" Mitsuru let out a sigh of frustration with her hand on her forehead, "Don't remind me...sometimes I wonder where he even get them..." Ryu lets out another chuckle as the monorail emerges from a tunnel.
"...It's been a long time since I last saw this...it still looks amazing..." He says with a sense of melancholy at the scenery before him. The porcelain white of the school building contrast perfectly against the deep blue background of the sea. The building stands out from the rest as it stand tall in the middle of the island with smaller buildings surrounding it, creating an almost divine look for the island.
She smiles sadly at the scene in front of her. "Yes...it is beautiful..." Trying to not ruined the mood, she looks back at him and ask, "How about you? How was life there before you came here?" He turns to look at her with an excited grin. "Oh, do I have a story to tell you. Or stories as I would say."
Ryu then went on telling her how his life have been for the past 4 years. He made exaggerated action as he weave his tale, from small hand gesture to full blown arm flinging. All the while Mitsuru just looks at him with soft smile, with the occasional laughter at his bad jokes, happy to see her childhood friend again.
He continues to tell his story with her listening in while the monorail still moving. They didn't even break their stride as they got off the monorail and begin walking to school. They were so engrossed with the stories that they didn't even notice the stares they were getting from the student that they passed. The students whispers to each other and pointed at them as they walk by.
They just arrive at the front of the school when Ryu finish telling one of his stories. "...And when I got back from the store, I found the whole place was a complete wreck with both of the kids sitting in the middle of the room, looking all innocent even though it was obvious they did it because of the scruff and smudges on their faces." He finish with a grumble as he cross his arms over his chest while Mitsuru laugh slightly at his story.
She stop laughing and looks at him with a amuse smile, "My, you have been busy since you left. I wonder if you might go through more adventures here too." He scoff at that while looking at her with a deadpan look. "You're seriously asking that? Knowing my luck, I might be drag into one much sooner than I like." She just smile at him before stopping at the school's gate. "Well, here we are." Ryu whistle at the tall porcelain building in front of him. "It looks up close."
She took a few steps forward before turning around and holds her arms out in a grand gesture. "I am happy to welcome you to our school. Welcome, to Gekkoukan High!" She exclaimed with a proud smile. Ryu chuckle at the exclamation while resting his hand on his hip, "A bit too dramatic don't you think?" She shakes her head, still smiling proudly. "No at all, it has just the right amount of everything to introduce new students to our school."
Ryu roll his eyes at the explanation while adjusting his backpack's shoulder strap. "Well, why are we standing here for?" Mitsuru nods before walking pass the school gates with Ryu in toe. As soon as they both walk in, whisper suddenly erupted around the school grounds. All the students look at the pair as they walks to the school building. They pair seemingly ignoring the whispers around or they were just oblivious to them.
They walk into the building and straight to their respective school shoes lockers. After changing their footwear, they stop in the middle of the hall. "Well this is where I take my leave, I have some business to attend before the school assembly. I take it you'll find your own way around here?" Mitsuru ask while glancing at her wristwatch. He waves her off as he looks at her with a grin. "I know what to do, you just go do your thing. Meet up after school?"
She nods in agreement "Yes. Let's gather here after school." She then turns and walks down the hallway to his right. "The faculty office is down that hallway. You should go there first." Ryu nods at the advice as he watch her go. He looks around first before noticing some student crowding the school board. Walking towards it, he sees that the board was staple with student's class assignment. Leaning in, he examine the papers closely until he found his name on one of them, 'Class 1-E, Fujisaki Ryu'
Satisfied with his find, he looks around the place again for a minute before heading down the hallway opposite of the one Mitsuru went. He walk pass an odd pair of people, one wearing a samurai helmet and the other looking like a foreigner, as they talk with each other. Ryu looks at room plate for the faculty office before finding it. He opens the door and steps inside.
Ryu look around the office curiously while closing the door behind him. As he was looking, someone call out to him from his left. Turning, both of his eyebrows shot up as he saw what looks like an older Yukari dressed in an all pink suit walking up to him while holding a folder in her arm. "You must be one of the transfer student, correct?" She ask politely.
Ryu nods in agreement before bowing his head. "Yes, my name is Fujisaki Ryu, first year. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She smile at him before replying with her own bow "The pleasure is mine. I would like to formally welcome you to our school. My name is Toriumi Isako, I'll be teaching you Composition." She open the file she was holding and looks through it.
She was shuffling through the papers when she stumble across his assigned classroom and frown. She looks back him while closing the file and holding it to her chest. "Unfortunately your homeroom teacher is running late today so you'll have to go straight to the auditorium for the welcoming speech." She looks back at him with an apologetic frown. "I must apologize but I won't be able to show you where the auditorium is as I've to wait here for the other transfer student to arrive."
'She must talking about Makoto' he thought briefly while looking at her with a smile. "It's alright Toriumi-sensei, I can find it on my own" She stare at him in slight concern before asking, "Are you sure?" Ryu replies with a grin, a hand on his hip. "I'm sure. While I may have not been here for sometimes but I can find it...probably" he mumbled the last part in uncertainty.
She looks at him for a minute before chuckling and smiling. "Alright then. You better be off now if you don't want to be late." Nodding, Ryu bows before stepping through the door. Ms. Toriumi waves at him with a smile as he walks out of the office. She sigh while looking at the clock on the wall with a frown on her face. "Where are you?..."
The search didn't take long for Ryu though he did have to ask a passing student where it was after he going to the wrong building. The last room just made him not want to do economics, ever. He walks into the auditorium to see the other students chatting while they were seated. Finding a seat, he sits down and leans back as the welcoming ceremony begin.
Suffice to say, it was the longest most boring thing he had to listen in his entire life. The principal was giving a speech for how the coming semester will be and how he would like it to be memorable than the last. The downside to it however is how bland his tone is or how slow he was talking. Ryu desperately tried to stay awake but even then that was tough. He almost slam his head into the front seat a couple of time through it all.
After the excruciating long speech from the principal, he finally finish with a parting quote before the ceremony ended. Ryu almost screamed in relief when it was finally over. The students were then brought to each of their classes for an introduction by their homeroom teacher. After that, the rest of the day went by like normal.
Ryu let a sigh as the school bell rings, signalling the end of the school day. He leans back against his chair as the students around him starts packing their bags. Rubbing his head slightly, he then packs his own bag before standing up and slinging it over his shoulder. He walks toward the door and opens it before stepping out.
He barely catches himself from bumping into someone as he steps out the door. Looking down, he sees that it was Mitsuru who was standing in front of him. "Oh, Hey Mitsuru. Thought we're gonna meet at the at shoe lockers? And how did you know where my class was?" He ask while they both step away from the door so that the other student could get out.
"My, can't a senior just visit their beloved junior?" Ryu looks at her with a deadpan look as they starts walking down the hallway. Mitsuru chuckle at the look before smiling. "I'm just came to check up on you. How was you first day been?" He groan as they went down the stairs and straight to their shoe lockers. "As how any school are, boring as heck. Since it's the first day, we only did introduction so nothing too major."
They change their shoes before heading out of the building. As they walk, Ryu ask Mitsuru a question as the students starts their daily gossip around them. "Question, do I have to call you Kirijo-senpai or Mitsuru-senpai?" She sigh before looking at him with a small frown, "As I've told you at the dorm, you don't have to so formal Ryu. Just call me by my name. We are friends aren't we?" Ryu let out a hum as he cross his arms behind his head. "If you say so...Boss Lady."
Mitsuru eyebrows twitch as she looks at him with a small, displease frown. "Please don't stop calling me that." "Call you what Boss Lady?" He replies back with a cheeky smirk. Her eyebrow twitches again as she glares at him. "That. Please stop. You know how I hate that nickname" Ryu shrugs slightly as they step out of the building. "Whatever you say Boss Lady." He chuckles as ignore her as she rubs the bridge of her nose in annoyance.
They were at the school gates when they stop. Ryu turns and look at her while tilting his head. "So, where do we go from here?" Mitsuru looks at him in confusion before realizing what he meant. "Ah yes, the place you ask this morning. Follow me then, it's just a few minutes away if we walk." She says while walking away, Ryu following closely behind her.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrive at their destination. Ryu looks around the place with a nostalgic smile. "Man...I missed this place...wonder if there's any new stuff around here." Mitsuru chuckle slightly as they walk to the fountain at the centre of the mall. "While it might not seem like it but this place has change quite a lot." "Yeah, that I can see" Ryu said absently while looking around at the people that was hanging around the place.
After finishing looking around the place, he then turns to look at her with a hand on the hip. "So, where do we start?" After discussing on what he wanted to buy, the duo then spend the rest of the day buying all the needed supplies. Though they did have to take a rain check with some of them as they were either unavailable or out of stock. The sun was setting when they finish buying what they can get at the moment.
Ryu was rustling through one of the plastic bag they used to carry the supplies as they walk back to the dorm. "Hmm...Yeah, this should be good for now." He nods his head as he put the bag down from his brief inspection. "You know, I could've bought all this with my own money, right?" He question her as they turn a corner. Mitsuru just let out a small hum. "...Think of it as welcoming gift from me for you."
Ryu chuckles at the statement. "If that's the case, then thank you Mitsuru." She brush off the compliment with a wave of her hand. "No need to thank me. It's what friends do after all. Though don't expect me to do it again anytime soon." Ryu grins cheekily at her while giving another mock salute. "Aye aye, Boss Lady" he laugh loudly as she look at him with a small glare.
He let out a sigh while smiling as he looks up at the beautiful evening sky. They stayed in that comfortable atmosphere for a while, with Ryu looking up to the sky and Mitsuru looking forward, until they pass a set of stairs to their right. Mitsuru was still walking when she notice that her friend was beside her. Looking behind her in confusion, she sees that he was looking up the stair they just passed. "...Ryu?" She call out to him.
He doesn't seem to hear her as he walk up the stairs. Turning around, she frown slightly at his behaviour before following him up the stairs. Reaching the top, she sees him looking around the place with a sad, melancholy look on his face. He walks up to the shrine and place a hand on the stone guardian. She just stands by the stairs, quietly looking on as Ryu place some money into the offering box and claps his hands together in a prayer.
She watches on for a moment before walking up to him and doing the same, offering some money and saying her prayers while closing her eyes. They stayed like that for a while until both of them opens their eyes. Mitsuru turn to Ryu as he continue to stare at the box. Letting out a sigh, he then turns to look at her with a small smile on his face. She also smiles back at him but with a reassuring one. They both then left the shrine and continue on to the dorm.
Ryu plops down onto his bed with a sigh of relief. After arriving at the dorm, they both brought the supplies up to his room. After putting placing them there, they whip up a small dinner with whatever they have left, with Mitsuru reminding herself to buy some groceries later on. As they were eating, Makoto walk through the front door with Yukari beside him. When ask why they were late, Yukari explained that she was showing him around town since he was new to the place.
After all of them have eaten, with Ryu fetching some food for Yukari and Makoto, They both went off to do their own thing. Mitsuru doing some evening reading while Yukari went back to her room saying she was tired and wants to sleep in early. Makoto was also going back to his room though not for the same reason as Yukari. He just want to decorate his room more before going to bed.
Seeing that he didn't have anything else to do, Ryu said his goodnight to Mitsuru and went back to his room. Once there, he then started sorting out all of the stuff he has. Putting all the supplies in there appropriate place while rearranging a bit to fit some of the stuff that was in the box. Half an hour later, he'd just finish setting up his computer when he noticed that it was late evening so after he was done, he moved the leftover stuff to side for later and plop down on the bed where he is now.
He stare at the ceiling for a while before taking off his clothes. Changing into his sleeping clothes, which consist of a black shirt and white short sweatpants, He plops down onto his bed again. 'Let see...first day of school and its already boring. Our homeroom teacher didn't came which was weird since it WAS the first day of school. Hmm…other than the occasional whispering and pointing from the students and the screaming about some 'Ice Queen' nothing much happen today. Well, except for going to the mall and buying some supplies. Conclusion, first day is a meh.' He recalled his day while lying down on the bed.
A yawn came out of his mouth as a sense of tiredness wash over him. Rolling around, he pull up the cover over him and rolls around again. After a minute of rolling, he stop and stare at the ceiling again with tired eyes. 'I wonder...Nah, I'll just leave it for tomorrow.' he thought again before yawning. He reached out and switch of the lamp and slowly went to sleep
Yosh, if you're reading this then you just finish my friend's story. Hope you all like it. As you may notice, they are a lot of work to be done in general for my writing skills and I'll also be switching between either using Japanese honorific or not.
As the story itself, the character Ryu will be explained throughout the story. From how his involvement with Mitsuru to when he moved. So...let's see what other idea my friend has in his head of his. Oh, they will also be a lot of changes that gonna happen with the series itself. So, be prepared for some weirdness that may came along with those changes.
That's it for all I have to say. Please leave your review, advice or even flames down below. Hope to see you next time
