Chapter One
Ten years later:
Sanada Ryo looked up at the large school building. Today was the first day of school, and Ryo was already not looking forward to it. Looking about him he could see everyone breaking off into their groups of friends. Everyone wore a uniform similar to his own, but to Ryo it felt like he was dressed very differently then everyone else.
Ryo was different from everyone else though. He was the sole survivor of the Sanada Clan. His family was all gone. His mother died when he was very young, and his father was killed while on wildlife exploration.
His grandmother, the one person who had been really his only family had been killed in a wildfire, which he was the sole survivor.
Flashback:
Ryo could feel the heat around him. He was trapped in his room. He could not get out from the window, for he was too small to reach the ledge. He fell back to the floor and moved as far away from the flames as he could. Ryo called out to the one person who could help him.
"Sobo, help me!"
He could see the flames coming closer and closer to him, but he had nowhere to run.
End flashback
Ryo was pulled from his thoughts as he was pushed from behind, causing him to pitch forward. Catching himself before he crashed into the floor. Turning behind him he saw four big bullies laughing at his expense. Sighing to himself, Ryo picked up his scattered books and turned to go back inside.
However he was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground.
"It seems we have a new comer who does not yet know the rules. We must show him the errors of his way, do you not agree," the head bully said.
Staring up at the bully, Ryo could tell this was one boy not to mess with. The boy was tall, but very muscular. He had long brown hair that was tied back into a ponytail. Sighing to himself, Ryo picked himself off the floor. Dusting off his clothes, he turned and faced the bully.
"Look, I do not want any trouble. I am new here as you have said. Tell me what you want, I will go my way and you can go your way. Seems fair, do you not think so, " Ryo said.
The bully threw back his head and laughed so hard that Ryo thought for sure the kid was going to suffocate. Before anyone could react, he quickly landed a blow right on Ryo's left cheek. Ryo was sent crashing to the ground once again. Bring his hand to his face, he winced as it came in contact with the split lip, and tender flesh.
Ryo looked up to see a foot coming right for his head, but before he could react the bully was on the floor next to him.
" Is this how you great all the new students, Shinji," an ash colored boy said.
Shinji picked him self off the floor and glared. "Stay out of this Kento. This has nothing to do with you," Shinji hissed back.
"Oh I do think it does concern me. Now back off before I remind you of why people do not mess with me," Kento said as he stood in front of Ryo, who was still on the ground.
Shinji was about to say just what he thought of Kento's idea, when he saw some teachers looking their way. Turning back to Kento he said, " This is not over. Watch your back. Both of you." He quickly turned and walked away, taking his friends with him.
Kento watched them go, then turned and looked at Ryo who was looking at him with confusion. Holding out his hand, Kento helped Ryo off the ground and helped him pick up his scattered books.
"We had better get you to the nurses office to get some ice for that. You are going to have a black eye for a few days. By the way my name is Kento Rei Fuan. Not the best way to start your first day here is it," Kento said with a wink.
"Thank you. My name is Ryo Sanada. You are right about today. This was not quite how I pictured my first day being," Ryo said with a small chuckle.
Kento was about to answer when the school bell rang, making them late on their first day of school.
"Shit. Come one lets get you to the nurses office and then to the principal's office to get your schedule," Kento said as he pulled Ryo along.
Ryo smiled and knew he may have just made a new friend this day.

Sage Date and Rowen Hashiba made their way to their private spot on the school ground. They were glad to be back in school, for all summer they had hardly seen each other due to family duties.
More Sage's duties, as seeing my parents were never home, Rowen thought to bitterly to himself.
Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he turned to look at the blond angel walking next to him. Sage and he had been friends for as long as he could remember. The two first meet each other when Rowen's father had signed him up for kendo lessons. At first Rowen never saw the blond, but the first time he did it felt like he had known the child all his life.
Flashback:
Rowen walked into the dojo where he would be working with Sensei Date. He was a little nervous about taking these classes. He had been working with his Sensei for about a month now, but was still unsure about himself.
He was about to start his warm up, when the door to the dojo opened and in walked a blond haired figure. Rowen had never seen the person before and could only stare. The boy looked up at him, and Rowen gasped.
He saw the blond boy do the same, as Rowen felt a tingling sensation run through his body. He felt what appeared to be a connection between himself and the boy across from him. There was something else there that he could not discribe. Before he could speak, Sensei Date came.
They were quickly introduced, and Rowen could feel himself blush as Sage, stared at him with his one eye. He felt the connection once again, and a name flashed in his mind.
Firefly. His Firefly.
End Flashback
"Angel? You with me," a soft-spoken voice said next to him pulling him from his thoughts.
Turning, Rowen found himself caught once again in to the violet depths that were staring back at him. He could see the love and concern shimmering in those depths.
"I am fine Firefly. Just thinking about the first time we meet," Rowen said as he gave Sage's hand a quick squeeze. No one knew about them, so they had to be careful in public so as not to be caught.
Rowen wished they could just let everyone know, but he did not like Sage, want to deal with all the taunts and jeers he would get from his peers. They would not understand the love that he and Sage shared.
He looked at Sage once again, and found the violet eyes still watching him with concern. " I am fine love, really. Come one lets go get lunch."
The two walked basking in the joy and love of the other as they made their way outside.

Cye Mouri sat as his normal table alone. He was waiting for his friend Kento. He had heard about Kento's fight this morning, and had seen Shinji face. He sighed to him self.
He sat looking at his class schedule and sighed. Being ahead of everyone else had its advantages, but also had its disadvantages as well. He was given a heavier class load and more responsibility then others his age. But he did not mind. He knew this would help improve his chances of getting into college.
"Don't think about it Kento, unless you want to fail your English class this year," Cye said with out turning and looking around.
" Awww…You take all the fun out of lunch my fishy friend," Kento said as he sat down at the table. A dark haired young man also joined them, and Cye gave Kento a questioning look.
"Cye Mouri, I would like you to meet Ryo Sanada. He is new here at school. Shinji and crew messed with him today, so I have taken him under my protection," Kento said while stuffing food into his face.
Ryo stared as Kento shoved hamburger after hamburger into his mouth with out seeming to breathe. Cye chuckled at the expression on the young man's face. He had gotten used to Kento's way of eating. He counted to ten and then sighed to him self.
Poor Kento had chocked on his food, and Ryo was starting at the man in horror. Cye got up from the table and walked around and taking a deep breath hit him on his back as hard as he could.
The hamburger that was stuck in this throat went flying across the room to smack into the head of the blue haired boy. The boy was shocked, and stared in horror at the food that was now lodged in his hair. His blond friend was bent over holding his side laughing his ass off at the look on the other boy's face .
Cye looked horrified and running over began to apologize. "I am so sorry about that. My friend eats like a horse sometimes. My name is Cye Mouri. The eating machine is Kento Rei Fuan, and the one with the horrified look on his face is Ryo Sanada. Once again I am sorry."
Sage by this time had stopped laughing and nodded at Cye. But when he looked a Rowen he burst out laughing again. Glaring at Sage, Rowen turned to Cye, " It all right. I admit that was a first for me. My name is Rowen Hashiba, and the laughing fool over there is Sage Date."
Cye put his hand out for a handshake and when Rowen took it, a shock was sent through all five boys. Everyone gasped and quickly letting go Cye looked at Rowen in shock.
"Um, it was nice to meet you both but we have to go and get to class," Rowen said as he grabbed a now somber Sage and took off.
Everyone started at each other trying to figure out what it was they now felt. A ghost of a web that connected them all.
