A/N: Although this is a short-ish chapter I thought it was good. Enjoy meeting the new character! Next chapter will be longer, I promise. Review Replies since chapter 4 below:

Yuki Asao: First of all Yuki, I would like to say that I appreciate you reviewing very much!!! You were the only one this time ::everybody claps::! I shall try to write longer chapters, I really will. And hell no this whole story can't be considered one chapter. I hope you know that you were this close ::holds up a centimeter between her fingers:: to that being a Flame. I HATE FLAMES! Ok sorry Yuki, that wasn't just for you, it was for any Flamers out there who were thinkin' of flamin' me. Now, I do see what you mean, my opinion is that my chaps could be longer but, hey I am the writin' right? Well I hope I didn't make you mad, cus that's not what I wanted to do. So just read and be happy, ok?! And thanks again for reviewing.

Covered in Shadows

----------

Nearly covered in shadows above the window, sat a boy. If people would have seen him, they would have commented on how dirty he looked, and yet question as to just how he got up on the roof. Not that he would tell them, or acknowledge their presence at all. If he had told them that he had flown up to that roof they would have surely thought him loony. But being as it was 2:00 in the morning and sane people were in their homes sleeping, there was no one there to question his antics.

Except for a certain girl. Whom he seemed to be staring very intently at. Her dark brown hair swayed gently in the wind, wisps of hair blowing out over slightly tanned skin, dotted with small freckles over the bridge of her nose and across the top bone of her cheeks. Piercing violet eyes alit across the water that lapped at the jagged rocks that marked the boundary of the girl's freedom. He was entranced; he'd never seen anyone like her before. Nor had he ever felt this way about anyone.

Not that he'd met a lot of people, but enough to say that this girl was truly distinctive. Her mouth was slightly curved in a bemused expression, but yet it seemed to falter somewhat. As if she was smiling at her own pain. And then she spoke a simple sentence that set a plan in his head. "I wish I could never grow up..." He then grinned. If it was not growing up that she wanted, then he could most certainly help.

A/N: So I hope you all like Michael. He has a big role in the story, obviously. So Yesssssss, I have nothing else to say this time but REVIEW my precious readers, REVIEW!
