Ogami Rei was not someone you would see as sentimental. He didn't cry during movies, and he didn't have very frequent moments of nostalgia. Since his entrance into the world of crime and pain, Rei thought of himself as trash. He was poison, stuck destroying other sinners in a pathetic attempt to atone for all the terrible deeds he'd committed.
Enter Sakura Sakurakouji. Nosy, curious, beautiful, loud, and led by an intense code of ethics. Rei's complete and total opposite. She'd had the misfortune to witness Ogami when he'd been destroying members of G-falcon. When he'd tried to burn her (he wasn't supposed to leave witnesses) she had again surprised him with the fact that she couldn't/wouldn't burn. She was then designated a "Rare Kind" and Rei was told to observe her, keep an eye on her.
Since then, Rei and Sakura had developed an odd sort of friendship. At school, they seemed like best friends (often more so as the boys and girls often thought they were dating) they spent all their time together. Of course, this started out mostly because Sakura was determined to make sure that Ogami wouldn't kill anyone as long as she was around. But while Sakura often got on Ogami's nerves, he couldn't bring himself to mind too much. She made him smile and laugh. Her determination to make him stop being a Code: Breaker was admirable.
Everyone who knew Ogami could see that he was changing. He seemed more open. He smiled more, spent more time on the piano, had more patience, and just seemed to have a warmer personality. If you asked Toki, he would say that
"His eyes don't look dead anymore."
When Sakura was taken by Hotomi along with the Prime Minister, Rei had a moment that would worry him for a while. When Hieke had asked
"Where's Sakura-san?" Ogami's heart stopped. Just for a second. He'd seen how crazy Hotomi had become. Where the hell was Sakurakouji-san?
Eventually the Code: Breakers escaped with Sakura, and things went back to normal. As time went on, obstacles were constantly thrown in their way, but they would handle them in any way possible. Rei became fiercely protective of Sakura, though she never noticed. And she in turn, got more determined to make him realize he had a soul, and that he was a good person.
So under the oddest circumstances, there would always be two teenagers, ready to face the world.
