The streets of Kuoh were bustling with many people going about their daily business, families, businessmen, teenage girls were all out doing their respective things in the hot summer weather.

A boy shambled through the town, trying to find an apartment he had rented to live in for a few months. He knew to fit in he'd have to go to a school so he chose the closest one. This happened to be the formerly all girls school, Kuoh Academy.

The summer heat beat down on the boy's back, he was wearing a black long sleeved top and black jeans with red and black sneakers.

"Looks like this is it" the boy mumbled as he turned towards the door to a 2 bedroom apartment. He knocked on the door a few times and waited for a response from within.

After a few seconds a girl about his age answered the door. She was wearing a white tank top with a red jacket over the top alongside dark blue jeans and white sneakers. She had raven hair with a tint of purple, tied up in a ponytail and looked like she was quite active in her routine.

"Oh hey, you must be my new roomie!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"What?" the boy questioned, he hadn't arranged to live with anyone, he wanted to live alone, damn that sneaky sandle wearing cook.

He'd met a fallen angel a few months prior to this who had taken him in because he had nowhere to go and couldn't remember anything from his past. The fallen angel in question always wore sandles hence the remark and opened up the boy's eyes on the supernatural and all that accompanied it. The fallen angel said this place would be on his own but must have secretly made sure someone else was here too, he always tried to help the boy in weird ways that more often than not were more hindrance.

"Hello?" the girl asked unsurely.

"Huh, oh sorry, must have been daydreaming" replied the boy, he did this a lot.

"Well my name's Yuuma Amano, pleased to meet you" she said holding out a hand to shake.

"My name is... Haise, Haise Sasaki" he replied "sorry but I don't feel comfortable shaking hands with you, I don't mean any bad but I vaguely remember something that happened to me that sparked a fear of most people, women in particular".

The girl looked a little sad at first, maybe even a little angry, but quickly regained her previous attitude.

"No worries Haise" she assured "I was informed of this before you arrived so you just focus on working those fears away" she added postively.

"Thank you Yuuma" Haise replied shortly before entering the apartment after Yuuma.

The interior of the apartment was quite western, the living room was on the right of the door and had a large sofa that bent round in an 'L' shape with space to it's right to allow people access. There was a T.V on the wall opposite as you walked in and a large window that showed the front lawn.

The dining room was basically directly in front and to the left as you entered the apartment, it contained a clean glass table with comfy leather seats.

The kitchen was the last room on the ground floor and it connected the previous two rooms with a spiral staircase in the middle of all three rooms leading up to the first floor which contained a nice clean bathroom and the two bedrooms.

Haise was lead around the open plan first floor before going up after Yuuma to the first floor where he was shown the bathroom and the room he'd be staying in.

"My room is the other one down the hall so if you need anything just knock and ask" Yuuma finished.

"Thank you very much Yuuma" replied Haise as he went to enter his room and put away his belongings.

"Haise?" said Yuuma questioningly.

"Yes?" he answered, waiting in the doorway.

"What's the story with your hair?" she asked puzzled, she'd never before seen two colours in natural hair.

"Oh... uh..." fumbled Haise as he attempted to answer.

"Don't worry about it" Yuuma quickly replied seeing his plight "make yourself at home" she added with a smile before heading downstairs leaving Haise in private.

"It's strange... I remember someone, just like her, she was... NRRGH" Haise had thought too much again, whenever he started to remember his past too much he got a bad migraine.

"I guess i'll just focus on unpacking" he said, relenting from remembering.

30 minutes later, Haise had unpacked all his things, most of which were books. He couldn't remember when, but he'd picked up a fascination of books and reading at a young age and even since was enthralled in them constantly.

The small shelves on the walls were filled with his books, the bed had fresh black sheets on, the small T.V was positioned to the end of the bed so he could watch at night before sleeping and the window was open to let all the fresh summer air in.

Before he thought his life was always going to be a misery, but now, with this, and her... maybe his life didn't have be... Tragedy.
