~Chagall Café~
"What?" A teenager yelled almost choking on his beverage. The teen looked shocked and confused at his friends, a girl and another guy.
"Yeah…Shizu is Prego…," she replied with a straight face, looking at both of them.
"You're serious? No way…," the other teen boy said while covering his mouth in disbelief.
"She's joking right? Akira stop joking,"
"I'm not joking, sheez Kaneda…you believe me right Shuuhei?" Akira asked looking at the boy with short blue hair and grey eyes, Shuuhei Arisato.
"Um…," Shuuhei started. At that moment Shizuka 'Shizu' walked over to their table and sat down.
"I had to do somethings sorry I'm….late?" Shizuka said confused, noticing Kaneda and Shuuhei's expression. Kaneda's jaw dropped while Shuuhei looked at her nervously and laughed.
"What?" She asked.
"A-Are…you…really…really…" Shuuhei started, Akira smirked. Shizuka looked at him waiting for him to continue.
"Pre…pre…," Shuuhei started but couldn't finish, too embarrassed to ask.
"Pregnant?" Kaneda yelled.
"WHAT?"
Akira began laughing, her three friends looked at her like she was crazy.
"Haha! Got you! April Fools day!" Akira said and smiled.
"Why you little—" Kaneda started. Shuuhei sighed in relief and shook his head in disapproval.
"Don't use me in your schemes Akira…you jerk-face," Shizuka said while glaring at her.
"You guys didn't seem to know what today was," Akira said with a small smirk.
"No Thank you," Kaneda replied and huffed.
"I know what today is thank you very much," Shizuka said and began to rummage through her purse.
"I agree with them…," Shuuhei added.
"Uh-huh…sure…," Akira said and took a sip of her tea.
"Are you guys ready for the move in?" Shizuka asked while putting on lip gloss.
"You're such a girl Shizuka," Kaneda said teasing.
"Hey! Don't hate this…," Shizuka said and gave him a uber cute smile, Kaneda scoffed. Shizuka, Shizuka Fuyamoto, the girly girl of the group. Always up to date with the fashion trends and music, she could be considered one of the 'trendy girls' in high school. Shizuka had long dark brown flowing hair, vibrant blue eyes, 5'8, and tall lean but fit. Shizuka is the emotional one out of the group and the youngest and a 1st year.
"I'm Neutral…," Akira replied. Akira Natsushiro, the tomboy but girly, girl out of the group. Always with the 'cool' teens or doing things that are usually off limits to the normal teens, like Air Gear. Akira had short jet black hair with piercing green eyes, 5'3, an athletic build but small. Though she may seem mean or uncaring, she's a girl just protecting herself with her tough exterior. Akira is the eldest out of the group and a 4th year.
"Me too," Shuuhei added. Shuuhei Arisato, the quiet observer of the group. He can be considered one of the normal ones. He joins clubs, has plenty of friends, pretty much the jack of all trades. Shuuhei had short blue hair, grey eyes, 5'6, a little on the skinny side but healthy. Shuuhei may be the jack of all trades but he rarely shows emotion, only when needed pretty much. Shuuhei is the same age as Kaneda and a 2nd year.
"I dunno what to think of it…never lived in a dorm before…sooo yeah…," Kaneda said while leaning back in his chair. Kaneda Akiyuma, the loud hot-headed one out of the group. Loud, always speaking his mind and plays a sport that lets him let out his anger, Football. Kaneda has short brown spiky hair, deep royal blue eyes, 6'0, well toned. Kaneda is the same age as Shuuhei and a 2nd year.
"I'm excited! It's my first time living in the dorms…I wonder what it's like…and who our roommates are," Shizuka wondered.
"There's already people there?" Kaneda asked.
"Yep…," Shuuhei replied.
"Uh…let's see…,"Akira said as she pulled out a packet.
" Mitsuru Kirjou, Akihiko Sanada, Yukari Takeba, and Junpei Iori,"
"Whaa? Sanada-Senpai?" Kaneda groaned.
"Yukari-Sempai lives there? So it's pretty much upper classmen that lives there…," Shizuka said.
"Yeah they all live there," Shuuhei said.
"Don't you think it's gonna be a little crowded?" Shizuka asked.
"Not really…," Akira added.
"It's pretty big actually…I've been pass the place a couple of times," Kaneda added.
"Does it look nice?" Shizuka asked. Kaneda shrugged his shoulders.
"It's standard,"
"Don't you guys think it's weird that we're all being moved into the same dorm?" Akira asked looking through her packet.
"I found that weird too…," Shuuhei trailed off.
"…."
"It's just by chance…I mean If you think about it…well…maybe?" Shizuka said confusing herself.
"What if it's just some ultimate plan to kill us all?" Kaneda asked
"….Kaneda…," Shuuhei looked at him with ' that was really stupid' look.
"Retard," Akira said while putting her packet away.
"That was…pretty lame," Shizuka said sighing. Kaneda huffed and started blowing bubbles in his beverage.
-Meanwhile—
"I…I can't…I can't do it…," a girl panted and dropped her weapon, a gun.
"Tonight they will be here…Are you sure…Sempachiki-sama?"
"Yes Mitsuru-san…I had Akihiko-san scout them," Sempachiki replied. Mitsuru looked at the images of the four students that were laid out in front of her, she then turned her attention to the names.
"What's wrong Mitsuru?" he asked.
Mitsuru turned her attention to Sempa ( short for Sempachiki)
"Akiyuma…," she trailed off
"Um Kaneda Akiyuma? What about him?"
"His mother was involved in the accident…so were the other's parents…except for Arisato-kun's," she replied.
"You're right…I didn't even think about that…," he said and shifted his glasses.
" Don't mention it to them,"
Mitsuru nodded, a bitterly looked down, remembering that day…years ago…
"Beat it,"
"My offer still stands…Dai,"
"What don't you understand? I said piss off!" Dai yelled. Akihiko took one last look at Dai, sighed and walked away. Dai looked over his shoulder and scoffed.
^I'm not going back…what don't you understand?^
-Later that night-
Akira, Shuuhei, Shizuka and Kaneda were on the train to Sakura-cho, to their new dorm. Shizuka looked out the window, bored, Shuuhei had his eyes closed and his headphones on, Akira had her head on the window, eyes closed and also had headphones on, and Kaneda was busy playing his gameboy.
Next stop Sakura-Cho…Next stop Sakura-Cho…
Kaneda looked up then at the others.
"Hey isn't that our stop?" He asked.
"Yup, hey aki! Shuuhei!" Shizuka said and turned to the others to get their attention. They took off their headphones.
"It's our stop," Shizuka said as she got up to get her bag. The train slowed down and came to a stop at Sakura-Cho train station. The gang grabbed their bags and headed towards the Kaisaku dorms.
"Holy crap it's cold!" Shizuka shivered.
"We just got out of the station and you're already cold?" Kaneda asked. Shizuka looked at him 'you got a problem' look
"Don't judge me," she glared.
"Stop saying that, you've been saying that a lot lately,"
"And? So what." Shizuka replied and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Hey!"
Akira and Shuuhei looked at Kaneda's and Shizuka's little fight, then at each other and then sighed. Akira looked up.
"Hey…the moon is yellow…," Akira said while still walking and looking up. Everyone also looked up, Shuuhei stopped walking and stared at the moon, the others continued walking.
"Freaky…let's hurry to the dorms," Shizuka said while shivering.
"Oi Shuuhei you coming?" Kaneda asked as he looked back at Shuuhei.
"S-Sorry," Shuuhei said nervously and jogged to catch up with them.
-Kaisaku Dorms—
Akira slowly opened the door to the Kaisaku dorms, only the darkness welcomed them.
"It's so dark…," Shizuka said quietly.
"Where is everyone?" Shuuhei asked.
"Good question," Kaneda said as he glared into the darkness. The gang walked in and stopped at the front desk, setting down their stuff.
…Sign your names…
The gang looked around trying to find the source of the voice.
"Everyone did hear that right?" Shizuka asked. Everyone agreed. As they looked around Shuuhei noticed a book on the counter.
"Let's just sign our names…what's the worst that could happen?" Shuuhei said as he began to sign his name.
"Don't jinx us man…don't jinx us," Kaneda said.
After the last person signed their name, footsteps were heard coming towards them.
"Now what?" Kaneda said preparing himself.
"Hey…are you the dorm leader of this place?" Akira asked.
"Phew…Mitsuru…,"
"Mitsuru?" Shizuka whispered. The owner to the voice that approached them lit a candle, showing her face to everyone.
"Yukari?" Shizuka asked.
"Shizuka?" Yukari asked.
"Takeba…is it them?" Mitsuru said as she walked down the stairs.
"it's the students," Yukari replied. Mitsuru walked into the light.
"Sorry about this, we currently have no electricity," she said looking at the gang.
"I was going to ask you about that," Akira said.
"It'll come back soon, Akihiko and Junpei are working on it as we speak. In the meantime, Takeba why don't you show them to their rooms." Mitsuru said.
"Ah…of course, this way everyone," Yukari said as she began to walk towards the stairs. The gang grabbed their bags and followed Yukari up the stairs.
"The second floor is where all of the guys' rooms are located," Yukari said stopped on the second floor. Kaisaku dorms consisted of five floors, Basement, first floor (Kitchen, den, front desk, and dining room), second floor (Guy's floor) third floor (Girl's floor) fourth floor (mission room) fifth floor (obviously the roof)
"Your room is at the end on the right Arisato-Kun and your Room Akiyuma-kun is at the end on the left,"
"Thanks," Shuuhei and Kaneda chimed. Yukari smiled and continued to the next floor with the girls.
"This is where your rooms are," Yukari said as she walked down a small hall of doors.
"You and Kirijou-sempai are the only girls here aren't you?" Shizuka asked.
"We were but not anymore we have you two," Yukari said and smiled.
"We're just hat great," Akira said and smirked. Yukari laughed a little bit
"Yeah. Ok so Akira…uh is Akira ok?" Yukari asked. Akira nodded.
"Ok Akira your room is on the left and Shizuka your room is on the right," Yukari said.
"Thanks," the girls chimed.
"Oh and be sure to lock your doors," she added. Akira and Shizuka looked at Yukari confused.
"You don't want any peeping toms do you?" Yukari said and winked. The girls laughed.
"Well then… good night!" Yukari said and began to walk away.
"Good night, the girls chimed and headed towards their rooms.
-12:01 am—
"what happened?" Mitsuru asked while turning around in her chair.
"The little piece of crap got away," Junpei scoffed.
"We tried to chase it but it vanished and the dark hour was over," Akihiko said as he leaned back into the sofa.
"I bet you didn't even try did you Junpei?" Yukari asked.
"I didn't see you out there Yuka-tan," Junpei said.
"You know what…," Yukari started.
"We tried. Next time it's not gonna get away. I'm gonna make sure of that," Akihiko said
"All that matters is that you two are back safe," Mitsuru said and walked over to a large screen the that had neurological brain waves projected.
"Whose waves are those?" Akihiko asked.
"The new students you scouted," Yukari replied as she walked over to the screen also.
"They're already here?" Junpei asked.
"Yes. They came during the dark hour," Mitsuru added.
"Did anything happen?" Akihiko asked.
"No they seem pretty much normal," Yukari said.
"But the fact that they walked through the Dark hour unaffected proves that they have potential," Mitsuru said while looking at Akihiko.
"Of course…all the people that I scout have potential," he boasted. Junpei glared at him.
"Well…the dark hour is over…so I'm going to bed," Yukari said and began to walk towards the door.
"You can say that again," Junpei said and followed. Akihiko looked at Mitsuru then walked out, Mitsuru turned off the screen and followed.
