Chapter 1: Before the Beginning

Introduction: As we grow up, we always wonder what path we should take as our life moves on. Will it be the right one or the wrong one? Some doesn't choose a path and gave up on it. There are also others who search for the one they have been looking for. Making difficult choices will have to be made during the path you walk. There will be hard times, but will you continue the same path you've walked or will you make a new one?

Morning, Tokyo, Japan-August 1st, 2008

It was about 6:30am in the morning here at Tokyo, Japan. The sun has just rise beyond the horizon. The sunlight was shining on a house just on the south side of Tokyo. The outside on the house is surrounded by brick walls with a gate entrance to the house. If enter through the gate there will be bushes of roses of all colors from the left and right side of the walls. The grass was green, which means the owner took good care of it. There is a path that goes to the house. The house is two stories high and from the front it has two windows on the top left and bottom left of the house, so is the same on the right. Meaning it was a big house. A house this big means those who lived in it is between middle and upper of the social class. The light shines on the furthest window of the second floor on the right.

Taki Shouhei room

The room color was blue. From the entrance of the room lies an acoustic guitar on the left side of the wall. In the middle of the room was a small table. From the right side of the table was bookshelf that has studies all the way to mangas. The walls are cover with some anime and gaming poster. On the left side of the room besides the guitar is a closet for clothes and stuff. Then right beside the window was a bed with a boy sleeping in it. By the looks of it the boy looks around 17 years old, with short black hair. He appears to be 5'10" and athletic. Suddenly the alarm clock rings. *BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ*

"Hmmmm," the boy said as he starts to wake up. *BUZZ BU-* He turn the alarm off.

"Huaaaa, man what time is it?" said as he got up. Then he looks at the clock. It was around 6:30am.

"Shouhei get up or you're going to be late!" said a female voice.

Shouhei then got out of bed and said,"OK mom I'm up!"

After that he made his bed and went to brush his teeth, wash his face, showered, and change into his school clothes. After finish changing he went to check in his school bag, which is on the table to see if he got everything for today. Once he is satisfied that he have everything and ready, put his guitar in a case and grab his Mp3 player and put it in his pocket. He starts to head down stairs. As he walks to the stairs you could see family pictures and paintings on the walls. Once he reach the stairs he could see that his mom was about to leave for work.

"You're leaving already mom?" Shouhei said.

"Yes I am Shouhei. I have to leave early for an important meeting today," said his mom.

"Ok, so what's for dinner tonight?"

"You're cooking today remember?" she said in a playful tone.

"Oh yeah, well what do you want tonight then?"

"Surprise me," she said smiling. And then she left for work.

"Man sometimes I hate you mom," he sigh. He then went into the kitchen to make toast with butter and then left after he finish his breakfast.

The way to Yuudou(Guidance) High School

Shouhei was on his way to school, Yuudou High School. His school was one of the top best and riches in Tokyo. His school uniform was high class as well. It's August so he have to wear his winter uniform. He is wearing a navy blue jacket with his school symbol of a compass on the right side on the front of the jacket. Inside he has to wear white long sleeves collar shirt and a white/silver tie. The pants are long with a black color and he is wearing black dress shoes.

As he was walking he heard a voice "HEY YOU!!!!"

Shouhei turn around and saw a figure heading towards him. And by the voice it was male.

"Oh god, at a time like this," Shouhei said with an annoying look on his face.

Then a flying kick was coming towards him so he smoothly moved a bit to the right and the guy past him and hit the pole face first.

"What do you think you're doing Michio (road of life)?" he said.

Yoshida Michio is Shouhei best friend. They have known each other since middle school. Michio was around 16 years old and will soon be 17. He has short brown hair with green eyes. He's around 5'8"and athletic like Shouhei, but not a lot.

Shouhei sees him lying down on the floor; mess up with his school bag on his head. It would seem he is unconscious. He then walked up to the knock out Michio and decided to wake him up his way.

"Hey Michio WAKE UP!!!!!!" he said as he kicks him in the air. While Michio was he the air, Shouhei threw Michio school bag at his face, but Michio was starting to wake up during that time.

"Hmmmmm?" he said as he wakes up, "Where am I?"

Then a bag suddenly hit his face. "Uuugghhhh" was all he could say before he hit the ground along with his bag.

"OWWW!!!" Michio screamed.

"Finally you're awake Michio," Shouhei said.

"Shouhei did you have anything to do with this!?" Michio shouted.

"Hmmm, maybe," he said and then left to school.

"Hey get back here," Michio said with an irritated face.

"You're going to be late for school if you don't start walking."

"Wait up!" he said as he catch up with Shouhei.

Finally Michio catch up with him a few seconds later. The school wasn't far to walk from here. It's only about a 10-15mins walk, give or takes. Why are they walking if they could just take a limo ride since they go to a high class school you ask? Well one reason is that they don't like to be spoiled that much. They don't like the rich life that much and hate those who act all high and might just because they are rich. Those big egos will be there down fall. But there school isn't that bad at all. Sure there are some that are spoiled, but many are not. Some students at school respected them because they are hard workers and work for it. Many people respected them for that. Showing them that by working hard you can reach your path no matter what it is.

While they are a few mins away from the school, Michio ask Shouhei a question. "So did you find a girlfriend yet?"

"No. Why?" Shouhei asked.

"Oh just wondering," Michio said.

"For the last time I'll tell you if I have one."

"Ok ok."

Then the rest of the walk was silent. Then they reach the school. The school was big. About three or five times bigger than an ordinary high school. (A/N: Since it's a big school I won't go into detail, sorry)

Yuudou High School

They walked to the gate and were greeted by some students. Yes they were popular and an inspiration to work hard. Of course Shouhei and Mochio just see everyone as there equal; they just give them a little push is all. As they walk through the halls they started to hear some rumors.

"Hey have you heard about the rumor?" said a boy.

"Oh you mean a transfer student coming here? Yeah I heard about it" said a girl.

"Well they say it's a girl coming here"

"Oh really? What classroom will she be in?"

"I have no idea, but we will find out today."

Hearings about a girl coming to this school have interested Shouhei. Though it doesn't bother him much, but to him having a new student is interesting indeed. He likes to make new friends and show them around the school and everyone knows he likes to help others, so if you see him with new students then it's pretty normal.

"So Shouhei, you going to help the new girl around school?" said Michio as they were walking to their classroom.

"Yeah of course. It's like my job," said Shouhei.

Soon they were in there classroom, 2-A. Then a few minutes later class started. Their homeroom teacher Mr. Okazuka walked in with a girl, which seems to be the transfer student.

She has navy blue hair with blue eyes. She was also wearing her school uniform with is the same as the boys but different. The jacket was White and they have to wear blue ties. They also have to wear pattern skirt. She was about 5'7" from the looks of it and a bit skinny.

"Ok class settles down," said Mr. Okazuka, "as you already know we have a new student here today." He turns to the girl."Go ahead and introduce yourself young lady."

"Hello, my name is………"
