You're my mystery

Kishinuma Yoshiki x Shinozaki Ayumi

CHAPTER ONE: THE NEW BOY

Author Note: Hello, everyone! It's me, Dewi-Michelle! Time for another multi-chaptered story. This idea just popped up into my head. As you know by now, I'm a sucker for romance, so prepare for fluff. Enjoy! ~

Warnings: AU, fluff, heavy language and OOC-ness. (I always warn for this, just in case.)

Normal P.O.V.

A shy, seventeen-year-old girl walked through the hallways of Kisaragi Academy, her books clenched against her chest. She carefully tried to dodge the taller students walking through the hallway, trying to reach her classroom. It was lunch-time and usually, Ayumi would make some extra homework during this time or check upon her class president duties. Her friends thought of her as kind, smart and a hard worker. She had a reputation to keep high and Ayumi wouldn't allow herself to slack even just a little. Upon entering the classroom, she gave a respectful nod to Yui-sensei, who was doing some paperwork at her desk.

''Ah, Shinozaki-san. Here for some extra work again?'' The teacher asked with a kind smile, upon seeing the blue-haired student enter the classroom.

Ayumi nodded.

''Yeah, I want to make some extra math questions. Plus, I got some schedules to make for class.'' She replied.

Yui-sensei smiled.

''I see. Well, I won't hold you back any longer then.''

Ayumi smiled back at her, before Yui-sensei looked back at the stack of papers on her desk. Ayumi walked over towards her desk, plopping down on her chair and grabbing her math books out of her bag. She devoted half of her lunch time on doing the equations and then, she grabbed a couple of papers and started to write things down.

''Oh, Shinozaki-san?'' Yui-sensei suddenly spoke up.

Ayumi looked up from her paper.

''Yes?''

''Can I ask a favor of you?''

Ayumi smiled.

''Anytime, sensei.''

Yui-sensei smiled.

''There's this new boy coming to class. He recently moved here and I wanted to ask you if you could show him around a bit, here in the school. He's supposed to be here right after lunch.''

''Sure, no problem.'' Ayumi replied.

Yui-sensei gave a happy nod.

''I already thought so. Thanks for your help.''

''It's nothing. Besides, I see this as a duty as class president.''

''Always so reliable.'' Yui-sensei smiled.

Then, the bell rang and the teacher quickly placed the paperwork back in her briefcase.

''Oh, well. Time for class again.'' She smiled.

Ayumi also got rid of her papers and placed them carefully back in their bag, before she got greeted by her friend, Mayu.

''Ayumi-chan! You weren't with us during lunch? You had stuff to take care of, again?'' She asked.

She nodded.

''Gomene, Suzumoto.''

''It's okay.'' Mayu smiled. ''You're a hard-working class president.''

Ayumi smiled back.

''Okay, everyone. Please take your seats.'' Yui-sensei spoke. ''I want to have your attention for a moment. From today on, a new student will be joining our class.''

Everybody exchanged mutters with one another.

''He could arrive here any moment. I want you all to act nice towards him and make him feel a little more comfortable in this school.''

''Hai…'' A couple slowly muttered.

Then, the door went open and in the doorframe appeared a young, handsome boy. His skin tone was slightly tanned and his bleached hair looked messy in a cute way. Yui-sensei looked up at the boy.

''Ah, you must be Kishinuma Yoshiki.'' She smiled.

The boy said nothing, instead placing his hands in his pocket and entering the classroom.

''Everyone, this is the new student I was talking about. Please meet Kishinuma Yoshiki.'' Yui-sensei spoke towards the rest of the class.

She then looked hopeful towards Yoshiki, as if expecting him to say something. Upon seeing that, Yoshiki frowned and looked away, clearly not having the intention to talk.

''Ehmm, well… Please take the empty seat in the fourth row, second to last.'' Yui instructed.

Ayumi's eyes widened a bit. That was the empty seat on her left! The boy sauntered towards his seat, plopping down and placing his chin on his hand, staring out of the window.

''Oh, Kishinuma, I assigned your class president, Shinozaki-san, to give you a tour through the school.'' Yui-sensei spoke up.

Upon hearing that, Ayumi rose from her seat and smiled at the bleach-haired boy.

''That's me. My name is Shinozaki Ayumi. I'm your class president for this year. Yoroshiku.'' She introduces herself.

Yoshiki turned his head and looked at her with his piercing grey eyes. Ayumi almost felt taken aback by the intensity of those shiny orbs. He, again, did not speak up.

''W-Well, shall we get going then?'' Ayumi smiled awkwardly.

She walked towards the door of the classroom, looking over her shoulder to see if Yoshiki would be following. She heard the boy stand up with a sigh and he sauntered behind her. Ayumi left the classroom, Yoshiki following her and then, she closed the door behind her. After doing that, she spun around and went to face Yoshiki.

''Welcome to Kisaragi Academy. Let me show you around a bit. The first place I will show you is the cafeteria.''

Ayumi began her tour and smiled her kindest smile, trying to tell him as much as she could about the school. Yoshiki, however, had a bored look on his face and Ayumi got the impression he actually couldn't care less about what she said.

''Are you even listening at all?'' She asked at a certain point, as she saw Yoshiki gazing out of the window, his hands in his pockets.

He looked at her, his piercing gaze once again taking her aback.

''You don't seem very interested in what I have to say.''

Yoshiki shrugged and closed his eyes. Ayumi puffed her cheeks up. She didn't like this attitude at all.

''What's the matter with you?'' She asked, slightly irritated.

Yoshiki once again, stared at her. He took her in, from head to toe and Ayumi suddenly felt very self-conscious and a blush crept up her cheeks.

''W-Why are you looking at me like that?'' She asked.

She heard a snicker escape from Yoshiki's lips and she sighed. At least, he was able to make sounds.

''Let's continue the tour, shall we?'' Ayumi suggested.

They went on and she showed the library, the P.E. hall, the infirmary and she ended her tour on the rooftop. Upon coming outside, a gust of wind blew Ayumi's twin-tails back and she shielded her face for a moment.

''Phew, it's windy.'' She smiled.

She then turned around and smiled at the bleach-haired boy.

''And this, is the rooftop. Normally, nobody comes here, expect for the maintenance man who comes to check upon the installations that gather here, every once in a while. Though, this place is accessible for students. So feel free to go up whenever you want to. Of course, not during class hours.'' She smiled at the last part.

Yoshiki nodded and went over to the fence to look over the environment around the school.

''It's nice.'' He spoke up.

Ayumi's eyes widened. It was the first time she ever had heard him speak. His voice was deep and masculine. It somehow made a shiver run down her spine, but Ayumi easily discarded the feeling.

''Anyway, I think it's time we head back to class.'' She spoke up.

Yoshiki turned around and she saw that emotionless expression in his eyes once again. He said nothing, just starting to saunter his way over to her and Ayumi walked back towards the door that led them back to the staircase they had climbed moments ago. Upon descending, Ayumi couldn't help but think the blond boy was a mystery. He rarely spoke, didn't show a lot of emotion and overall, he had this feeling around him that she couldn't quite place. What she did know is that she hoped he wouldn't cause too much trouble for her. He did have the appearance of a delinquent and the way he acted, she didn't really got the impression he was a total sweetheart. But nonetheless, Ayumi saw it as her responsibility to take him under her wing. She was the class president after all. She wouldn't allow any of her classmates to cause a ruckus or to disobey the rules.

''We're back.'' Ayumi smiled, upon opening the door.

School was about to end in three minutes and Ayumi wanted to talk to Yui-sensei about the assignments she missed when taking Yoshiki on a tour. She really didn't want to come behind on her work. So after seeing Yoshiki saunter over to his seat, Ayumi went up to Yui-sensei and asked for the work she missed. She scribbled down the assignments in her planner and then, the bell rang.

''Okay, class! Time to go! Remember, this Monday, the Math test will be held, so don't forget to study this weekend.'' Yui-sensei announced.

The students nodded and then, collected their stuff and placed it in their bags, chatter filling the classroom. Ayumi cleared her desk and walked over towards her friends.

''Thank god, it's weekend!'' Naomi smiled.

''Any plans?'' Mayu asked her.

''Not yet. I have some die-hard studying to do for that math test. I suck at math.'' Naomi sighed.

''If you want, I can help you.'' Satoshi offered with a shy smile.

Naomi also started to blush and smiled back.

''That would be nice.'' She smiled.

''Look at this! I see a couple forming!'' Seiko grinned, jumping in-between Naomi and Satoshi, slinging both her arms around their necks.

''S-Seiko.'' Naomi stammered, trying to sound disapproving.

Seiko just kept on grinning.

''I'm gonna finish my collage this weekend of all the boob-shots I've taken of Naomi's boobs.'' She spoke up.

The other's face-palmed and Naomi went red.

''S-Seiko, you perv!''

Ayumi shook her head with a grin.

''You guys any plans?'' She asked Mayu and Morishige.

''I'm gonna help Shige-nii reciting a play this weekend.'' Mayu smiled.

''We'll also study together for the math test.'' Morishige added simply.

''I see.'' Ayumi smiled.

Then, from her eye corner, she saw Yoshiki sling his bag over his shoulder and sauntering out of the classroom. Satoshi caught her gaze.

''What do you guys think of the new student?'' He asked.

''I don't know. He seems kinda mysterious.'' Mayu replied.

''He hasn't even spoken up once.'' Naomi added.

''I wonder what's up with him.'' Morishige spoke.

''He did talk. Once.'' Ayumi told the group.

They all looked at her.

''Serious?'' Seiko asked.

''Yeah, on the rooftop. It was the end of my tour. He told me it was nice up there. That's all.'' Ayumi replied.

''So at least we know he can talk.'' Naomi said.

''He does seem like a bad-boy.'' Mayu spoke up.

''Yeah, he has that aura around him.'' Seiko chimed in.

''Anyway, let's not jump to conclusions. It's the first day for him.'' Morishige said.

The others nodded. Then, they all pleaded their goodbyes and left the classroom to go to their shoe lockers and leave the school. Once outside, Ayumi headed off towards a nearby café to make her homework. She would be home-alone anyway, her parents on a business trip. Her sister Hinoe had a convention for paranormal people today, so she would come home the next day. Ayumi sat down at a table in the small café, a latté macchiato by her side and her laptop installed. She scrolled through her mails, replied to some and then went on with some class rep duties. After dealing with those, Ayumi pulled out her history books and started to work on the assignments she had missed in class today, while giving Yoshiki a tour. It took an hour, but then, she was finished. At last, she grabbed her math books and studied for another two hours. When Ayumi looked outside, she gasped. It was already dark and when she looked at the clock on her laptop, it said it was eight p.m. She even had forgotten about dinner! Luckily, the café provided dinner food as well, so Ayumi quickly ordered a salad and ate it, while writing some documents on her laptop. By the time she was finished, it was a half past nine in the evening and the café was almost empty. She packed up her stuff and slung her bag over her shoulder, saying goodbye to the staff and heading out of the café. Once on the street, she noticed the wind was kinda chilly and she regretted not stuffing a jacket in her bag this morning. While rubbing her arms, she started to head in the direction of her house. Upon walking, she noticed that the streets were kinda deserted and that the buzzing of the street lanterns were the only sounds that could be heard. Ayumi felt herself growing slightly worried. This neighborhood of town was known for its high criminality percentages and she regretted staying till late in the café. She turned around the corner, clutching her bag tightly against her side and holding onto the strap, trying to take slow breaths. That, until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She yelped and turned around.

''My, this one is pretty.'' A boy grinned.

He had brown, short-cut hair and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a motor jacket and had his hands in the pockets of his jeans. His three friends behind him, smirked.

''Hey there, missy. Wanna come with us?'' The second boy asked.

He had long, blonde hair till his shoulders, a bit wind-swept and his green eyes looked intimidate.

''N-No, thanks.'' Ayumi replied scared.

She wanted to turn around, but the first boy grabbed her upper arm.

''Not so fast, young lady. You're coming with us.'' He hissed in her ear.

Ayumi started to scream, but her mouth got quickly covered by one of the four guys. She couldn't see who it was, but the hand was quite big and it prevented her from making any noises. She got dragged into a deserted side ally and thrown against the wall.

''I-I swear, I don't have any money with me.'' Ayumi stammered scared.

''Oh, honey. We don't want your money or any of your belongings. We just want you.'' The third boy spoke up with a smirk.

He had bright red hair, blue eyes and a scar on his left cheek. Now that Ayumi looked, all the four boys looked like thugs.

''P-Please, just leave me alone.'' Ayumi whimpered.

''No way! It's been a while since we got our hands on a girl as pretty as you.'' The first boy smirked.

''Who wants to go first?'' The fourth boy grinned.

His hair was matt black and he had purple eyes. He looked the most muscled of them all and he was wearing a grey tank-top. Ayumi could see his muscles bulging. It only made her even more scared.

''I want to get a taste of the girl.'' The first boy spoke.

He leaned closer and Ayumi turned her head away, whimpering. She really did regret not having any fighting experience. If only she knew how to defend herself. But here she was, helpless. She could only hope that, whatever they wanted to do with her, they would do it quickly. Ayumi closed her eyes, waiting for whatever was going to happen, but she heard a yell of pain in response. She opened one eye, only to see a light-blond boy punching the first boy on the jaw, making him fall. Then, he back-kicked the second one and plunged his elboy in the third's stomach. The fourth tried to grab a hold of him, but the light-blond boy was too fast and quickly turned around, giving him an uppercut. The fourth boy went down as well and Ayumi's rescuer turned towards the second and the third boy, who were still standing. The second boy drew a knife and Ayumi gasped. However, her rescuer didn't seem to be impressed, for he waited for the boy to launch himself at him. As soon as he did, the boy grabbed a hold of his wrist and countered him with his strength. Then, he started to twist the boy's wrist and the second boy let out a yelp of pain. Then, Ayumi's blond rescuer kneed him in the balls and the second boy went down. The third boy tried to jump on him, but the blond boy did a twist and a high kick and the third boy got hit on his chest, flying a bit backwards and tumbling against the wall.

''Assholes.'' Ayumi's rescuer cussed.

Because the ally was so dark, she had no idea who her rescuer was. She only could see some light-blond hair every now and then, but that was all.

''W-Who are you?'' Ayumi asked.

The boy turned around and Ayumi then gasped. That was the boy she had given a tour today!

''K-Kishinuma?!'' She exclaimed.

End of CHAPTER ONE

Author Note: Hi everyone! Here's chapter one! This story won't have that much chapters. But it always would be too long to become an one-shot. So, this is the way I'm going to roll. It's probably gonna have around five chapters, I think. Maybe if I come with more ideas, it will be longer. You'll hear about that in future Author Notes. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my new story and please let me know what you think! Bye! xoxo Dewi-Michelle
