Chapter 1: The project

(Kurama's POV)

As I waited for my project to be assigned to me in school, I thought about the Dark Tournament. It has only been a month since that happened. Then the thought about Karasu came to my head. He was dead so I didn't have to worry about him. All my opponents I fought are dead expect Touya. When I started to think what if Karasu didn't die. I got bad images in my head. All I know is he would come after me. I then felt something hit my head. I turned around and the teacher was looking at me.

"Day dreaming Mr. Minamino?" he asked me.

I answered, "No. Just thinking about the project."

"Alright then listen," said the teacher as he walked up to the front of the class. "As you know, we will be going to an orphan age. You each with be assigned a child and learn about them. Ask them their favorite hobbies, likes and dislikes, and maybe ask about their past if it's not to painful for them. You will then write a paper about what you learned. This might take some of you a long time so this is due in one month. We will be going to the orphan age everyday until the project is due. Now go out to the buses." I decided to bring my school bag along so I would have enough paper and be organized. I walked out of the school into the school bus, a bunch of girls asked if I would sit next to them. When I got on the bus, I told the girls I would like to sit by myself. I found a seat in the back near a window. I sat there and looked out the window.

Soon the bus started to move. As I looked out the window, I thought I saw Karasu outside. I must may been to tired from the battle with him that I keep thinking about him. I want to forget him and soon. Next thing I knew I would have nightmares about him. Then the teacher started to talk more about the project. "You can decide if you want to work in a group or alone. However, if you have a group and one person messes up, the whole group fails. When we get to the orphan age, the manager will tell you what to do? Mr. Minamino, you still thinking about the project?" I then snapped out of my thoughts and answered yes. The teacher said I would have a special orphan then. I wonder what he meant by that.

We arrived after the teacher made said that. We all got out and a bunch of girls asked if I would work with them. I said I would like to work alone however, maybe on the next project I said I would work with them. They all giggled and walked away. I followed behind them. We walked into the orphan age and a woman greeted us. She welcomed us and she said she hoped we would have a good time. Then she took us to a room with a bunch of kids. They were all in nice clothes and had nice things. They all seemed happy. The teacher then went up to the woman and whispered something to her. She looked at me and nod.

"Alright, everyone except Shuichi Minamino, go find a orphan. Shuichi, follow Ms. Turned please," said the teacher. I watched my class mates find a orphan. I looked at the woman and followed her to upstairs.

"What are you interested in?" she asked me.

I answered, "Mainly flowers however, I read a lot. Why?"

"This orphan is special. She knows a lot on foxes and demon. She also likes flowers like you. Please be patient with her. Last night, she went through a horrible experience," said Ms. Turner.

"What happened?"

"You ask her that. She won't tell any of us what happen. Here we are," said Ms. Turner. She opens the door and it's dark inside. We then heard a voice say 'Who is it? Why are you here?'
