Prologue
Nanami
It was my first day of high school with my best friends Ami and Sekai. All of us were waiting in the lunch line at that time. The lunch line took forever, making all three of us groan with impatience.
"I feel like I'm starving to death!" Ami complained. She gave my a sad face, and I giggled.
"Ami, you're always hungry! Just wait for a little while longer." Eventually, our trays were filled with tons of food. The only bad thing is, is we can't find a spot to sit and eat. The cafeteria was filled with ninth graders using up every inch of space. This unfortunate situation forced us to go out side and eat on the grass.
We were walking down the empty hall. It was so empty that we could hear our own footsteps. It was so silent that I was immediately surprised when I bumped into somebody. I hear both of my friends gasp.
"Are you okay?" Sekai asks the person I bump into. I glanced at him and my eyes open up wide. All of the food piled onto my tray was now covering him. The guy was a yokai. I could tell. He had white hair and strange ears at the top of his head. There was also a white tail, which was now stained with food. I felt so embarrassed, and the guy was really mad.
He glares at me. "Are you blind or something? Does it look like I'm invisible?" I was too scared to talk, so I just shake my head. "Then pay attention!" It only made him angrier when he looked down at his clothes, which were ruined by my food.
"I'm sorry," I finally say in a quiet voice. He slowly looked up at me and frowns.
"You're a clumsy girl, aren't you?" he asks through gritted teeth. I never expected him to be so mad. Okay, maybe I was. Yokai always think humans are so pathetic. They think we're just useless creatures roaming the earth.
Sekai pulls me back. "Hey, she said she was sorry, alright?"
This was the first time I met my step brother, and I never realized it.
