Chapter 1 - Kita Azuki
It was a normal, cold, sunny day. Laughter and loud chatter can be heard as students piled in one after another into Raira High Academy. It was a normal everyday routine you can say except not for a certain black-haired girl.
She stared up at her new high school in a daze. Still in disbelief that her mother suddenly shipped her off to Japan with no explanation what-so-ever except a luggage with clothes and necessities and a letter.
That letter
Thinking about the letter made her anger rise up again at the absurd situation.
*Flashback*
Dear Azuki,
You're probably wondering why I suddenly dropped you off at an airport and a ticket to Japan right? Well that's cuz you will be living with Kuro-chan! Isn't that great! Oh don't worry, Kuro-chan will come and pick you up when you arrive and of course, your things will be sent later.
Now before you rip this innocent little piece of paper apart, listen to this first.
If you don't go aboard this plane now, not only are you inconveniencing Kuro-chan but also, you won't have a place to stay. Why? Because I sold our house. Oh don't worry, they promise not to demolish it yet. Only if we don't return home till the deadline.
Oh and you're going to be attending Raira High Academy. Remember that's the high school your fath-..that idiot and I first met? Oh but please do refrain from falling in love with any mindless idiots. We don't want you married off early.
So anyway, go enjoy yourself and have fun…and you better cuz I got you first class tickets!
Love,
Sakura xxx
P.S. Don't worry, I used sleeping pills to drug you.
P.S.S. Don't get lost! And don't follow any strange men when you get there!
*End flashback*
After she read it, she growled and cursed her mother and stormed off to board the plane. You see, she has a lot of self-control over her temper but when she snaps, she snaps. She was so angry that even the stewardesses were all afraid to approach her.
She sighed heavily at the memory and started to walk off to find the reception. 'Oh well, no use getting angry over it,' she thought, resigning herself to her fate.
He walked in as he greeted his best friend, Anri and then took his seat beside the window. He stared outside and watched as the leaves rustle with the cold breeze. Bored. He was very bored. Even after the gang war between the Slasher, the Yellow Scarfs and the Dollars. It was too quiet and too peaceful that he started to find it boring. Sure, Ikebukuro is an interesting, lively but dangerous place to live in but he was already used to it by now. Even watching the cat and mouse game between the informant and the blonde isn't so interesting anymore.
Suddenly, a loud voice disturbed his thoughts.
"Hey, hey, guess what!?" his best friend, Kida asked excitedly. Panting from running his way to school probably from waking up late yet again.
"What is it?" Mikado asked, curious as the school bell started ringing.
"There's a transfer student!" Kida said too loudly, practically bouncing up and down. "I hope it's a girl!"
At this, everyone started to murmur excitedly at the news.
"How do you know? Don't make things up Kida"
"No seriously! It's-…"
"Okay be quiet now and sit down," their homeroom tutor commanded, entering the room. Frowning when he heard the new gossip. "Okay, since all of you know about the transfer student cuz someone just had to leak it," at this, their homeroom tutor looked pointedly at Kida who grinned and showed a peace sign. "I'll introduce you to her, come in".
At this, a few seconds later, the transfer student walked in and stood in front. When she stepped in, everyone started muttering to each other but a few including Anri, Kida and himself stared in shock at the newcomer.
She was about 5 ft. 4 tall with long, jet-black hair with her fringe hiding her left eye, which was covered by a white eye-patch; what shocked them through was how she looked like him except, instead of red auburn eyes staring back at them, it was an azure blue.
"Her name is Kita Azuki," the teacher introduced. "She just arrived from England so treat her well".
Upon hearing her name, a few snickered and giggled at her name. Mikado raised an eyebrow, 'Small bean?'
Said girl sighed, clearly annoyed. He noticed she had eye bags under her eye and she was slightly shaking.
The teacher coughed, quieting the class and waited for the girl to talk. After a few seconds, she realised he's waiting for her to speak. "Oh, err, m-my name is Kita Azuki," she introduced herself quietly, bowing. "I'm from England so my Japanese isn't very good. I apologise in advance," she bowed again shakily.
The class started to mutter among themselves again. Mikado couldn't help but sympathise with her. After all, he was a transfer student like her once and also with a weird name.
"Okay any questions?"
At this, many students raised their hands or shouted out their questions. The girl blinked, surprised at such a response.
"Okay, okay. One at a time," the teacher demanded. "Ah yes, you"
"Why did you transfer?"
"…Family reasons"
"Are you single?" a boy asked.
She raised her eyebrow but nodded.
"What happened to your eye?"
"…Secret"
"Is that your real name?"
She sighed, "Yes"
"Are you related to Orihara Izaya?" Mikado blurted.
She blinked, confused and tinted her head slightly, "Who's that?"
"Mikado, why is she here?" Kida whispered, eyeing the girl.
"I invited her to lunch with us," Mikado replied back.
"And why?"
"Because she's new here," he replied, taken aback by Kida's behaviour. Kida was weary of her. She looked too much like him and even through he knew she wasn't him. He still couldn't help it.
"Ah um"
They turned to look at her. Azuki could clearly tell the blonde teen didn't like her much and thought she should just leave. "I'll leave now since I'm disturbing you"
"No it's fine, right?" Mikado reassured quickly, glancing at his two friends pleadingly.
"It's fine," Anri spoke up. "I do not mind. Please do join us…Kita-san"
At this, Kida couldn't possibly refuse and agreed with her. "I'm Sonohara Anri," the red-eyed girl introduced herself first. "Nice to meet you"
"I'm Kida Masaomi," the blonde introduced himself and then proceeded to grab her hand and give a peck. "Nice to meet you"
"Y-yeah, nice to meet you both," she flushed, startled at his sudden change of attitude. "I'm Kita Azuki"
"We know, we're in the same class"
"Oh right," she flushed again at not recognising them.
A few awkward silences followed and Azuki sat down with them and they started eating lunch. Mikado then proceeded to ask how she found her first day and made small talk with her. Then Kida decided to start to interrogate her.
"So Kita Azuki was it?" he began.
She looked up, startled at being addressed. "Yes?"
"Is that your real name?"
"Masaomi!" Mikado hissed.
He ignored him and she nodded. "Um, your name is quite…interesting"
At this she sighed, wondering for the hundredth time why her godfather gave her such an absurd name. In England, sure, a name like that wouldn't get people snickering just the mention of it but here, god, she won't hear the end of it.
"Are you sure your not related to Orihara Izaya?"
She frowned, confused at the same question again, "Well, yes…I don't even know anyone whose called that"
Kida stared at her, trying to figure out whether she was lying or not. "Why did you transfer here?"
She frowned again, "Didn't I answer that already?"
"Yeah but 'family reason' could be anything so…"
She sighed annoyed at being interrogated. She had heard loads of stories of one of the most things you should never do, or at least, avoid in your first day at school, and one of them is getting bullied. Otherwise they would never leave her alone. She's been bullied before and lost count how many times it happened but she wasn't going to let people bully her again. 'I'm sick of it'
"Kida Masaomi was it?"
He frowned and nodded. He didn't exactly like being addressed so formally.
"Look, I'm going to be blunt with you here cuz I'm really not in the mood for this," she began, eyeing him. "I know you don't like me and frankly, I don't know why and if it's because I'm a foreigner, now that's just racist".
"And if it's because I look weird," she continued before Kida could interrupt. "Or scary or because I wear an eye-patch or even cuz I'm an introvert. Well I'm sorry but this is just who I am and how I look like so please, either accept it or just shut it"
The trio stared at her surprised at her outburst. "Your wrong," Anri spoke.
Azuki stared at her, waiting for her to elaborate. "It's not because Kida-kun doesn't like you or anything. It's because you look like him…someone we hate"
Azuki blinked, surprised at this and looked at the others to confirm this. Mikado scratched his cheek sheepishly whilst Kida grimaced.
"I see…" Azuki muttered after a while. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions".
"Ah, no I'm sorry for being rude," Kida apologised. Awkward silence followed.
Azuki instantly felt guilty; she really hated when she lost her temper even if it was a mild lecture she gave but who could blame her. She just came back to Japan after like 3 years since her parents divorce and hasn't had a decent sleep not with the headaches and constant change of her environment. Furthermore, she was only informed this morning that she would attend her new high school today. Even through she only arrived like 3am in the morning.
Azuki was about to break the silence when a microphone-like screech can be heard through the school announcer followed by a voice.
"Helllooo! Ladies and gents~! Sorry to disturb your lovely lunch hour~!" Azuki frowned at the familiar voice then went pale, "No, don't tell me-…"
"I'll be quick. You see my little sister, Kita Azuki," at the mention of her name. The trio looked at her quizzically whilst she groaned, bringing her hands to her head.
"-transferred here today," the voice continued. "And just wanted to say. Please look after her and please don't bully her cuz of her strange name or her strange eye or her strangeness altogether. After all, we don't want people to suddenly, let's just say disappear shall we," the voice silently threaten. Azuki mentally rolled her eyes at this.
"Oh and boys, please do keep your hands to yourselves. I know young boys such as yourselves are experiencing the hormone rush and Azuki is a hot and all but if I find out you took, or even tried to take her virginity, we will, well, let's just say you can forget about having any children in the future. That's all. Ja nee~!"

"Kita Akira, I don't know what came over you or why you just did that but thank you oh-so-much for not only embarrassing me in front of the whole school but also making the wolves mark me. Oh and for your information, that's none of your business! And who the hell is 'we'?!
If you do anything like that ever, EVER again, I'm not going to forgive you and trust me, you know you do not want to mess with me when I'm pissed! So if you show up at the school gate or even at the apartment for that matter, be prepared to get kicked cuz you're the one who's endangered of not having any children".

"Oh and please do me a favour and give a message to mum.
Mum...I have soo much I want to tell you but I can only sum it up in three words.
I hate you"
*Beep*
Kita Azuki was furious. No, furious was an understatement. She was shaking with suppressed anger. The trio, finally noticing this snapped out of their revere and watched as Azuki took out her new iPhone and proceeded to call a certain raven-haired teen. Her face was already flushed from embarrassment and her left hand was fisting her skirt.
The trio watched as she left two voicemails whilst emitting a dark aura. Mikado was already flushed slightly due to earlier comment on Azuki's um *cough* innocence. Kida was trying to suppress his laughter at Azuki's threats but failing miserably; even Anri couldn't help but giggle at her over-dramatic response.
Azuki, finally noticing her audience flushed a deep scarlet-red and apologised to them. Thus, they followed to have a decent conversation of her complaining about how her crazy mother suddenly shipped her off to Japan and as well as telling them stories about her crazy twin who just announced her presence for the whole school to hear. She felt good being able to vent her anger out and even surprising herself at how she opened up to them so easily. Even Kida opened up to her as well and even offered to give her a tour around Ikebukuro; which she accepted gratefully.
Thus, the trio welcomed its fourth member warmly. Azuki almost felt thankful towards her twin. Almost.
A raven-haired teen watched as a certain one-eyed girl walked out of the school gates, smiling and talking to her newfound friends. The teen smiled at the sight but the smile faded away as soon as it came.
'Now to only make sure that man doesn't go near her…'
AN: Woot so how did ya find it? Writing Azuki's misfortune was really fun =w= Oh and I know her name is the same as my username. That's just pure coincidence and when I found out about what it means, I decided to keep it :3
Please tell me your thoughts cuz I'm really bad at writing openings and I have a second draft opening (which I'm not sure where it disappeared off to).
Anyway, thanks for reading :'D
