Chapter 1 - Ballet Class! This Strange Yet Nostalgic Feeling!
"It's called snow...", said a boy's voice.
"Snow", Yuuki repeated slowly, then giggled as snowflake landed on her outstretched hands,"snow.
"Yes, snow, Yuuki", said the boy.
"I like snow", Yuuki said, grinning.
"It's my favourite time of year", replied the boy, sighing.
"What is?", Yuuki asked, frowning.
"Winter, you big goof", the boy replied,"it's the time of year that snow falls.
"Winter snow?", Yuuki asked, day-dreamily, her grin re-forming.
The boy chuckled,"yeah, winter snow", he repeated.
The girl blew into her hands, trying to warm up her gloveless fingers in the snow that fell around her. Her breath came in whisps and didn't really help at all. Yuuki had been having that dream almost every night, ever since she could remember. It was always the same boy, and though she never saw his face, she could tell that she knew him. Somehow. Frowning, Yuuki gave up, and started walking down the street again, her chin-length, un-naturaly white, hair flowing behind her."Yuuki?", the sound of her name made her turn around. A boy with white hair and turquoise eyes, just like her's, stood there. Confusion written over her face, Yuuki asked,"ano... Do I know you?", she said uncertaintly. Something about him felt familiar, she just didn't know what. The boy's face saddened,"I guess not. Sorry to disturb you", then he turned and walked away. Yuuki stared after him for moment,"that white hair....", she murmed, frowning, then shook her head, snow flakes falling from her snow-white hair. Then she spotted a clock in a store window,"5:47?!", she exclaimed,"oh no! I'm late!", and she dashed off through the ankle-deep snow. The strange boy watched her from the opposte corner, frowning,"I was so sure, that is was her...", then he turned and disapeared, walking down the snowy street.
Yuuki ran as fast as she could, skidding to an abrupt halt outside her school hall. She spared a glance at the school notice board,'Welcome to Karakura High School', was all it said. Yuuki smiled at her sillyness,'it's winter holidays, silly. No notices for a few more days!', she shook her head and ran inside the hall. She slid the door open, puffing hard. A fan collided with her head,"itai!", she shrieked, grabbing her head with both hands."You are late, again, miss Recatar", scolded her tall, blonde ballet teacher as she held her fan to her forehead."Gomenesai, Ms Conserje", Yuuki apolegeised, she bowed,"it won't happen again". The teacher shook her head and sighed,"quickly now. Get in your place", Yuuki rushed to her place between the two other girls in her class,"we'll start again, from the top girls", she clapped her hands together, then pressed play.

Yuuki started slowly, lifting her right leg and both her arms, the two girls mimicing her. She stretched out her leg, her balance unfailing, and her face passive. Then they began leaps and spins in unison....
~After practise~ Yuuki bowed with the two girls to their teacher,"arigato, Ms Conserje", they said in unison. Ms Conserje smiled, then put her hand on Yuuki's shoulder,"good work today, Yuuki. You will do well in your assessment on sunday. I'm sure of it", she said. Yuuki beamed,"arigato gozaimas, Ms Conserje!", she said, then she looked out the window,"oh! I didn't realize how late it was!". The sky was darkening and the other girls had already left,"sayonara, Ms Conserje!", she called over her shoulder."Sayonara, Yuuki-san!", replied Ms Conserje, then added quietly and maliciously,"be careful on your way home".
Oblivious to Ms Conserje's comment, Yuuki dashed out into the relatively dark street, her white clothes making her glow brightly amongest the darkness. Her skirt rippled in the wind that picked up, and Yuuki had to slow her pace to hold it down. Suddenly, her red scarf flew off,"no!", she cried, as she attempted catch it with one out-stretched hand. She turned and ran after it, but soon lost the red colour in the white snow that was beginning to fall quickly. Yuuki grimaced, she couldn't leave the scarf out here, she'd never see it again, and that scarf was all she had left of her childhood. Yuuki gritted her teeth and ran forward again, searching desperately as the snow began to thicken.
She came to a park and stopped when she spotted a red glow to her left. Eyes wide, she dashed over to it. A grin blossemed on Yuuki's face as she discovered her scarf stuck to a tree branch. Then she frowned, it was pretty far up, and Yuuki was oh so short, only 133cm. The snow began to fall faster and she decided that she had to climb the tree now, or risk loosing her beloved possession forever. So with a grim face, Yuuki began to climb the tree.
Weak, dead branches fell off the tree in a cascade as she tugged at her scarf. She squealed, and almost lost her balance as she stood precariously on a thick branch, close to the trunk. She managed to stay on the branch, and sighed in relief, silently thanking her hours practicing her balance as a dancer as she hugged her scarf close."Hey", said a voice suddenly, almost making Yuuki lost her balance again. Once she was stable, again, she looked down to see that same boy from that afternoon,"what are you doing in a tree this late at night?", he asked. Yuuki crossed her arms in annoyance, her eyes closed,"what's it to you?", she asked rudely. An anime vein appeared on the boy's head as he grunted, making Yuuki giggle, then she said,"what are YOU doing out here so late?". The boy seemed to hesitate, then said,"I like the cold", simple as that. Yuuki smiled,"then that's one thing we have in common", she said, now looking at the snow-covered forest she sat at the edge of. The boy looked up at her in what she assumed was surprise and her smile widened. Then a howl pierced the night, Yuuki's eyes snapped open and the boy whirled around, bringing out a cell phone,"Hollow", he muttered before running off,"just go home!", he called, then disapeared into the darkness.
Yuuki jumped down from the tree, staring after the strange boy with a frown on her face. Then she shrugged her shoulders, and muttered,"strange". She turned to leave and was struck by a headache that felt as if a needle was trying to stick itself into her head. She leaned against the tree and slid down the trunk. Her face contorted in pain, images flashed their way across her mind's eye. They were all jumbled, and she couldn't make sense of any of it. She fell heavily to the ground, meaningless yet understandable words echoing loudly through her mind,"*kawai", the voice echoed,"KAWAI",(*I'm scared),"*DASKETE, NI-SAN!!", it screamed,(*save me, brother!). Tears streaked down her face, unwarrented. Then a darkness came and she fell into it, pain wracking every breath.
