Chapter 01 :

HOME 07:00

'This is it,' Kagome thought as she walked along the line leading to the Unit entrance. 'This is the moment that I've been waiting for.'

It was the last day of the month and Deportation Day for Kagome and her peers. At the end of each month, the group that turned 16 during that month was deported towards a bigger purpose. All they had worked for, all the tests and training they had gone through, led up to this moment; this Deportation.

When she got to the front of the line, Kagome looked straight ahead as a Drone scanned her right eye for her Tag. Tags are tiny microchips that are surgically inserted into ones eye at birth. They were for identification and stats if anything.

The Drone's eye blinked green and Kagome proceeded into the Transport. There, she strapped herself into a seat, pulling a harness down from above her and clicking it into place.

All around her she saw her peers, Reds, Greens, Blues … she was the only White onboard (1). Some were nervous, clutching onto their harnesses while others gripped the hands of their peers.

Soon the Transport started to move and Kagome's ears perked to the sound of gas emitting from the vents. All around her, eyes started to droop and fists loosened. It wasn't long until her world went black.

oooo

CRASH!

Kagome's eyes shot open as the world spun around her. It wasn't long until she realized that she was upside down. The Transport had flipped over. She struggled to get out of her harness and fell onto the ground with a thud.

"Takashi!" a Green shouted besides her. Kagome jerked her head and saw that the girl was still in her harness, shaking the boy besides her. Looking around, Kagome saw lifeless bodies hanging from their harnesses with their arms stretched towards the floor.

"Let's go," Kagome said as she fumbled with the Blue's harness.

"Takashi! Why isn't he waking up!" The girl asked as Kagome hoisted her down from her seat.

"Takashi! Wake up, wake u-,"

"He's dead!" Kagome shouted. "Stop screaming and help me get the others down!" The Green stared at Kagome through puffy, red eyes before nodding meekly and averting her attention to their peers.

Red boys were already working on the door. Their bulky frames futilely pounded away at the door and smashed it with stray metal chunks that had broken off during the accident.

Kagome sorted through her peers and dully noted that most of them had not survived the crash. Most of the Reds had made it, their bodies being able to take more roughing up than others, while both Blues, the intelligence group, had not.

"Everyone, stop!" someone shouted. It was their grade leader, Rasetsu Blue. Slowly, the pounding and shouting died down and all they could hear was a muffled racket outside.

"This Transport is built of a sturdy metal that even we cannot destroy. It's no used trying to break it; it will just use up all our strengths. There is a hole on the bottom corner of the Transport over there."

He pointed to the far corner and we all turned to see that it was true; the frame of a fallen peer covered a half of it, blocking out most of the outside. It was more than enough space for one person; even the build of the bulkiest Red would have just enough space to fit.

"I'll go out and come back within five minutes to tell you what's going on," Rasetsu informed. "If I don't come back, don't come after me. Takeda, you're in charge while I'm gone."

The Red nodded in response and everyone watched as Rasetsu headed towards the hole. No one spoke for a good three minutes after his feet disappeared from our view.

"What do you think happened?" It was the Green girl from before. She and Kagome were the only girls whom had survived.

"We'll find out when Rasetsu comes back," Kagome answered, and silence reigned once again. In all, five Red boys, two Blue boys (including Rasetsu), one Green boy, one Green girl, and Kagome had survived.

oooo

Takeda spoke up. "Let's go." At least 20 minutes had passed since Rasetsu had left.

"But Rasetsu said-," the other Blue started.

"Rasetsu isn't coming back!" Takeda shouted. "I'm in charge now and I say we go. It's better than sitting around here doing nothing."

"I say we vote," Kagome interjected. Everyone turn their heads towards her.

"F-fine," Takeda huffed. "All in favor of going raise your hands." All the Reds and Greens raised their hands. Only the other Blue and Kagome were opposed to leaving.

"Majority rules," Takeda said. "Everyone grab a stick or something and follow me. The girls stay behind."

"What!" the Green girl shouted. "Why can't we go!"

Takeda answered, "It's too dangerous. You girls aren't even Reds, you won't be much help."

Kagome bristled at the comment; she was a White, the unknown class. The White group couldn't be divided into a subcategory was simply trained in the basics of each group. The Reds were known for their strength and fighting capabilities, the Blues for their intelligence, and the Greens for their all around health and gregarious nature.

"Stay," Takeda commanded. "It's an order."

The Green's comments died down and she went back to a corner, refusing to watch the others leave and stared at the lifeless body of Takashi. Kagome went back to checking the pulses of the others, hoping to find someone alive.

oooo

"I'm going," the Green girl stated.

"It's better if we stay," Kagome said. "We don't know what's out there."

"They killed Takashi!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.

It wasn't long until the girl tore out of the entrance. Kagome swore under her breath and quickly went after her. Upon crawling outside, Kagome saw that they had been toppled off a hill. They were surrounded by dead youkai and a few humans (2). There was rustling in the bushes and letting out a strangled cry, the Green girl threw herself at them.

Figures dressed in slick, black getups emerged from the bushes and one of them knocked the Green girl unconscious in one hit. Kagome turned around and before she knew it, her world went black.

All she could remember before blacking out was the longest hair she had ever seen in her life.

KatanaFoX : I give thanks to my one and only reviewer! I'm sorry if I didn't update as soon as you wanted me too but I've been working on my other fics on the side. Hope you liked this chapter!

AN: Okay guys. I'm severely bummed out that I'm writing and not getting anything for it … but yeah, it's not like I have to get reviews but it'll be awesome if I did get some. I have no idea how Long Time No See was such a big hit. My writing was so much more awful then compared to now … all that girly "OMG!" and OOC and just horrid writing … not that it's any better now -0-;;. Well, reviews would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
