...
In the middle of signing my contract, a girl appeared. She'd just entered through the doorway of Iwatodai Dorm. She had reddish brownish hair, and had red Walkman headphones strapped around her neck.
...?
It seems her headphones aren't working as well.
"There you are," the mysterious boy shifted his eyes away from me. "You're late."
The girl stayed quiet.
"If you want to proceed, you'll have to sign this contract too."
"Huh?" the girl managed to choke out.
This 'mysterious' boy was quite odd looking. He had turquoise-ish blue hair, and a striped shirt that looked as if he'd be in jail. His eyes matched the color of his hair.
He had said the same thing to me... to sign the contract.
"There's no need to worry. All it says is that you take full responsibility of your actions." the mysterious boy seemed peculiar. Not like an ordinary boy.
I looked down at my contract. "I chooseth this fate of mine own free will."
Once we had both finished signing our contracts, the mysterious boy disappeared.
"Huh? Who's there?" we heard a female voice.
The girl appeared, and saw us both, in complete shock.
"How can you be... But it's...!" she stared at us like we've accomplished something only few have survived.
"Don't tell me..." the girl still inspected us.
...!
She is holding something that looks very much like a gun!
"Wait!" another girl appeared out of nowhere.
The lights have turned back on, and so did my headphones. I could tell the girl next to me had her headphones turned back on as well. - they were strangely off before the second girl appeared and on the way to the dorm... and everything was green.
"I didn't think both of you would arrive so late," She smiled at us, "my name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students who live in this dorm."
Mitsuru had bloody red hair, and was wearing a school uniform.
"Is it okay for them to be here?" the first girl asked Mitsuru.
"I guess we'll see..." she answered. "This is Yukari Takeba."
Mitsuru pointed to the first girl.
"Hi," Yukari managed a smile. She had short light brown hair. She was wearing a school uniform as well. Her and Mitsuru's eyes were the same color, dark brown.
"Nice to meet you." the girl next to me said.
I was still staring at the 'gun' Yukari was holding.
"Why do you have a gun?" I had to ask. My curiosity got the best of me.
"Huh? .. Well... it's sorta like a hobby..." Yukari answered uneasily, hesitating.
"You know how it is these days..." Mitsuru interrupted, "it's for self-defense. It's not a real gun, of course."
Mitsuru ordered Yukari to show us to your rooms. Once she got to the second floor hallway, she stopped.
"Well, this is it. Um, but this is..."
She pointed at me for some reason, and then I realized she was asking for my name.
"Oh, uh… Minato. Minato Arisato," I said.
Looking at Yukari and that girl that was still standing next to me, I realized, am I the only guy here?
"Uh, yeah... Minato, this is your room. And...?"
Now, she pointed at the girl standing next to me.
"Kisara," she answered. "Kisara Amagami."
"Yeah, uh... Kisara, your room is upstairs."
Before Kisara could go upstairs, or before I could plop myself on my bed, Yukari had one more thing to ask.
"So any questions?"
Kisara had nothing to say, but I had tons.
"Does that boy live here?" I questioned.
"Huh? What boy...? Nevermind..." Yukari seemed puzzled, "anyways, on your way here... was everything okay?"
This time I had nothing to say. I don't even know if what I saw is normal here.
Then finally Kisara asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know what I- nevermind... Goodnight!"
Kisara went upstairs to her room, and I quickly snuggled into my bed. I was exhausted.
