Hello guys! I'm starting another story.

Don't worry both of the stories will be update every week and will not be neglected.

Hope you like it, this is like a prologue.

Chapter 1 – Worries of the Teachers

Hitomi Sato became a high school teacher fifteen years ago. Her dream job. She enjoys observing the kids take their first steps out to the real world. Even though, sometimes it was tough because a delinquent or two sometime appears. Even then she had never regret taking on the job as a teacher nearly a decade and half ago and pride herself on the skills to help students.

However, recently she came to doubt her skills as a teacher because of two students in her homeroom, 3rd year class. This particular duo was never together before but about two years ago; these two students suddenly hit off and became inseparable. They began to disappear for a few hours or lose conscious while being overly carefully around water, even tap water! Sometimes they pay very close attention to certain classes while in other classes they do not pay any attention and be bored though they seem to make it look like they were paying attention to the teacher. The names of these confusing students were Yuuri Shibuya and Ken Murata. These two students were not only Hitomi Sato's cause of concern but also the worries of the other faculty in the school as well.

Start Flashback

It could clearly be seen at the latest staff meeting that occurred. After talking about curriculum, exams and budgets, time to discuss about the students arrived.

"Personally, the Shibuya and Murata duo is the most confusing but also worrying students" Hiromi had said.

"Yes, those two are surely a cause of concern." This came from Principal Sugiyama who though listen to these discussions on students, had never interrupt or contribute to this kind of meeting.

"I have the same opinion." This came from Superintendent or Director Haguchi. "Just a few days ago, as I was making rounds to observe students at lunch hour, I heard a sound that usually is made when two wooden objects cross each other. I know this sound since I did kendo when I was young. So I followed the sound and came across two students with wooden swords in their hands, practicing without any protection armor on. I was shocked and concerned for their safety so I started to walk towards the, as I yelled for them to stop but they didn't seem to hear me. When I reach about a foot away from them I again yelled stop. Suddenly like the moving winds, both of them had the swords, one on my necks like it was going to chop of my head if it was a real one and the other sword on my pointed towards my lungs as if preparing to pierce them. After snapping out of my shock, I asked them what they were doing. The students came to their senses and lower their swords. Both students started to apologize at the same time from what I could make out they thought I was an attacker then at the same time thanked me for being their test subject to practice their moves to use on assassins and kidnappers. Their ranting did not seem to stop so I made them stop. I accepted the student's apologizes, took away their wooden swords while asking for their names. The names of these students were Shibuya and Murata. I am concern about how they thought attacker or assassin even kidnappers could be at my school or even in the city and why they need to practice protecting themselves from these kinds of people."

All the staffs were shocked but few seconds later, the strict but quiet librarian spoke up to tell the teachers another story about this duo.

"It has been two years since Shibuya actually came to the library to study. As you all know that Shibuya prefers the outdoors and playing baseball then reading or studying. Since about four months ago, Shibuya comes to the library with a backpack filled to the limit. He always took a seat at the long table at the back and takes out from the backpack a mountain high pile of papers which looked to be official. Then he will take out a old fashioned quill and a ink box and start to go though these papers signing them as he read them paying attention to detail. This I could tell even from far away. Also the speed that he went through these papers was so fast. I'm afraid even the Principal will take double the time Shibuya took to finish his paperwork of a month. While Shibuya was signing paper like crazy, Murata was searching catalogs of libraries and bookstores all over town from the net and appeared to be taking notes. When Murata went to the washroom, I peak at his stuff and was surprised at the notes. He seems to have made a list of all the book titles that has to do with medicine, technology, energy consumption, agriculture, economic history and their reasons, law, baseball, Olympic sports, wars and battle tactics. Beside the title there was a note on the specific book's location and if it was at a bookstore the price of the book and at end of each sheet, and there was like 50 sheets, the total cost of the books on that page was written. Why would high school students signing what looked to be official documents and making notes on books on subjects that seem to have no connection to each other. Then this past week, I saw Murata and Shibuya take this book list and going through the information while crossing out the titles or making notes about it on the paper. Both of them went through what looked like the information of all the books in school library combined in just six hours. That is just insane even with my thirty years of experience, it would have taken be at least half a day. While they were going through the book list, I heard them repeating about a presentation to the Ten Noble Families and improve the life of our people for the better." No one interrupted as the librarian spoke, and everyone was worried about the strange things that these two students were doing. Hiromi Sato gathered her courage and spoke up on the subject that she had wished to tell the staffs for a while.

"There is another strange thing about these two. They talk and write sometimes in a weird language that sounds like little hisses and look like a version of the old Egyptian script. When I asked them what they want to do after graduation, like all the other 3rd years, they said to me that after graduation they will be leaving this world and going back home where they will make their land the best and their people happy while working to bring complete peace to the world. Help to make peace is a good thing, surely, but what did they mean by leaving this world, did they mean that they will die. In order to help Shibuya and Murata, I called their parents but both of them said both boys were legally adults and they will accept whatever their decisions are. Currently both of them are 18 not 20 so why are they legally adults?" before any comments could follow Principal Sugiyama started to speak.

"I know that all of you are worried about these two. So two so instead of a graduation trip this year I'm thinking of a school wide trip for about a week. Now during this vacation, all the staffs will observe the behavior of these two and after this trip when we come back we will discuss what we should do. Now this came will be at …" Soon the entire staffs were listening to the Principal's explanation of his idea.

End Flashback

Unknown to them, soon all their questions that they had about Yuuri Shibuya and Ken Murata will be answer by a fateful event.

Explanation

Kendo is wooden swordsmanship sport practice mainly in Japan.

In Japan, there is six grade of elementary, three of junior high and high school. In this story, Yuuri and Murata are in their third year of high school so they are 18.

To visualize a backpack filled to the limit, think of Kagome's yellow back pack in Inuyasha
