Chapter 1: What Kagura Says, Goes

"Come on, get moving! It isn't that big of a deal. Every kid your age has to go to school!"

"Yeah, but I doubt anyone starts in the middle of grade six." Hakudoushi complained.

"Well it isn't my fault that dad used you as a scapegoat in all those court cases." Kagura shot back. "Blame him…not me!"

"I don't care! I'm not going to school!" Hakudoushi sneered.

Kagura laughed. "If you don't get moving, I'll make sure Kanna doesn't bake any cookies for you tonight!"

"…"

"Well?" Kagura awaited an answer. "I don't see what you're so afraid about. I'm sure you'll make some new friends."

Hakudoushi leaned back against the wall, straightening the creases on his black tank top. He had an annoyed look on his face. "Fine…as long as I don't have to wear the uniform."

"Deal! It's not like I make the rules or anything." Kagura said as she threw her little brother his backpack. "Just be home by five o'clock. We don't want dad throwing another tantrum and smashing the windows again."

"All right…" Hakudoushi donned his roller skates and slung his backpack over one shoulder, being sure to stick out his tongue at his older sister before he left.

"Such a stubborn kid…" Kagura closed the door.

-----------------------------------------------

Hakudoushi skated at a moderate pace on the sidewalk. He wasn't in the mood for anything. He didn't want to go to school, the thought of homework putting him through hell.

"Stupid school, stupid Kagura, stupid homework, stupid…"

The boy continued ranting as he approached the school. There were a lot of students walking around and talking to each other.

"Stupid uniforms, stupid equations, stupid essays, stupid…" Hakudoushi stopped taking to himself as he passed the soccer field. "Who is that?" he whispered, looking across the field.

His eyes were fixated on a boy about the same age as himself. He had black hair, tied in a loose ponytail, and wore a black and green t-shirt. His eyebrows rose in amusement as he viewed the boy's freckle-dotted face. "Kawaii!"

Hakudoushi pulled himself away from the sight of the other boy and opened the front door. He quickly removed his skates and tied them to his backpack, removing his running shoes from the front pocket.

"Excuse me, could you tell me where the office is?" he asked a passing teacher.

"Just go down the hall and make a left turn." she replied.

"Thanks." Hakudoushi began walking. "Not everything about this place is bad...At least there's that boy," he smiled at the thought of the boy's freckles, his cheeks turning a rosy pink.
