Hi! The begin of the story is in japan, so some things won't make much sense, but everything will change after the interlude. There will clarify everything (Well, just some things!).

NOTE: By the way, for those who want to know what happened to Taiki see my blog (link in my profile!)

I DON'T OWN THE TWELVE KINGDOMS!

Chapter I:

Just at the twilight, when the light illuminated the sky, some beings got out of their dreams, while others don't wanted to go back to their reality. However, even if the sun shines, it can't illuminate some hearts ...

He was watching the sunrise. His heart told him at that time that he didn't belong there. He felt a strange impulse to escape. He tried by all ways to contain the feeling, but there were times when even the common sense couldn't contain instinct.

He regained consciousness in his classroom. In his view, it was still too early to come to school. He sat in almost the last seat in the row next to the window. The twilight was still on the horizon when he got to the point of drowning in his own thoughts ...

Amid the confusion, he felt like a hand fell on his shoulder, followed by a short laugh of someone standing behind him.

At first, he felt fear. But after a few seconds, the situation was very familiar to him. The hand, though a little pale, was warm and friendly. He felt that the person behind was transmitting tranquility and sadness simultaneously. That kind of feeling, brought even more confusion and yet ... he felt an impulse that told him everything was fine. He didn't know how to explain. It was like being happy and sad at the same time.

After a few minutes of strange feelings that spread throughout the room, he felt the warm hand disappeared at the same time he heard the strange sound of a be ...

"I finally found you, you're ..."

Suddenly he felt that the presence of the person whose existence was familiar to him had disappeared at the time the sun light illuminated completly the whole Tokyo city.

"Seiji, Seiji... Hey!" Said his friend standing in front of him.

"Ah... Hello Toshiro..."

"Something happen? You have acted strange all day"

Then, he finally understood that it was noon and lunch at their school. He didn't say a word the rest of day. In his mind was only room for one thing ... that ... Was it ...?

For months, Seiji had strange and curious dreams. Within the dream there was a person. He couldn't distinguish it well. All it did was watch him and that made Seiji feel uncomfortable. At the end of the dream, that person only directs him a murmur which he only got:

"The darkness and the light will... and then will born... That is..."

For more time analyzing it, he didn't find sense of what that person said...

The dream was repeating again and again, and increasingly became more clear... But still, he never understood more than whispers of that person, or even recognize it.

In short, for him, everything was more than just a dream. For him that was his reality... and not what he living at that time... which he didn't know was borrowed ...

Walking home, thinking about what happened, he realized something important for him ... that anyone ... anyone at all ... was worthy of his confidence ... Or so he thought ...

The next day, he attended at the same hour and minute at his institute, as the deadly routine every day. Tokyo city was still wrapped in the shadows of the full moon night and you could barely hear the singing of birds then depart south for the winter. The last leaves of autumn made their way through the cold wind, giving way to the next hottest season Seiji had lived. Only one life was observed in what could be a graveyard of hate in the early hours of the day ... Or at least only one life ... could be seen through human eyes...

Walking the way to his classroom, he could distinguish the shape of a person in the middle of the narrow hallway. All alone in the shadows and the cold wind, that person looked at the horizon, waiting for the sun light to erase the existence of the dark.

Trying to ignore the mysterious shadow of the person, he went straight through the darkness of the beginning of the day. Geting closer, he distinguished figure of a girl his age. He just thought not take care of it would be better. At the time they were side-to-side, he heard whispers of which only understood:

"... Will be... one... two... the... of the..."

Given the desired message, the girl disappeared when the lights of sunset lit the place. Just thought that what he saw was just an illusion of his mind, but... still... He wanted to know who could be ... that girl ...

In the morning when most of his classmates had arrived and had begun classes as usual, the teacher, checking the student list as usual, made an announcement.

"Attention please, today enters a new student to school. Go ahead " at that time a girl with black hair and dark eyes, serious and expressionless face, without saying a word in the entire presentation "She's Naoko Tsukishima. I hope that get along with her... Now let me see... you'll sit behind Tsukimori "The girl rushed to sit in the seat, to the evident Seiji's astonishment face.

In the rest of the day, he felt the penetrating gaze of the person behind. He just knew he had not known that girl in his life and yet she resembled to someone who had seen long ago, who he couldn't remember its face. He didn't want to look back because just Naoko's gaze was uncomfortable. That gaze ... was very similar... again ...

Walking home, he felt the cold wind of autumn took his concerns away. Even a little, it gave him more peace. He could still feel the keen eye of his new classmate, and still remembered those strange events occurring in a supernatural way. "It's very rare that a person was admitted in half of the year ... Did these events could be linked to the new girl? ... No this can't be, no human could do such a thing." At that moment he felt that even the trial was yielding to the indomitable force of instinct.

Run? Fly? A field full of beautiful plants and flowers? All these thoughts crossed his mind wandering like an arrow into the darkness toward a unknow point . He couldn't stop thinking the same, nor ask himself why he thought that.

What was that on the horizon? The sea? Again he had unwittingly walked all the way to the dock. He watched the slow sunset. It seemed to ease his sorrows. The gulls flying, the sound of the ships with lots of people, the salty wind shaking his hair, the warm rays of the sun ... The peace written everywhere. He decided to stay until the moon rose, what he had waited all day.

In the moon he could see the reflect of his wishes ... or... of the wishes of his interminable instinct ... The moon ... just see it in the sky ... made his heart beat endlessly ... it always looked like that, a source of comfort floating in the sky... But the sun's rays merging with the moon in giving way to the morning enliven the fog of his concerns ...

Come to think of it, not all the time was like that... he remembered being a very lively and friendly boy and rather good (in general) in studies... Until began to dream ...

That wouldn't matter, it was his problem and he had to fix it. Definitely he had to discover what was going in and get out of his doubts.

It starts to clear up right? Well ... something like thing long will be the next chapters. I'm trying not to entangled everything but all this started as a REALLY long and intertwined dream so I don't know! XP
