A/n: Hi, this is my very first fic and there's an OC in here. I can't update too soon coz I can only use the computer on weekends. My friend stole my first draft with chapters 1, 2, 3 in it, so I'm writing this all down from memory…please review!

Disclaimer: I do not own DSQ, and never will…sniff…I only own my OC, Miyaki, who is very much like me in the real world. Yep, same mixed-up personality……

Bold: expressive

Italic: thought (unless w/quotation marks)

Chapter 1: Dreams and Acquaintances

"Ryuu…"

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Ryuu glanced around, uneasy, searching for the voice's owner, but the voice echoed all around him.

Suddenly, he found himself falling…falling, into complete and utter darkness…

OOO

Ryuu woke up, sweating feverishly. He glanced at the clock. 12:45 am., it read.

A dream, just a dream…, he thought,…yet it seemed so real…

He self-consciously glanced over at Kyu, who was beside him on the bed, still asleep. Ryuu lay back down, thinking about the dream. What did it mean? Was it a warning, or something about his past?

As he thought about this, sleep began to envelope him…

------

The next day, Ryuu woke up, seemingly seconds after hehad gone back to sleep. On his way to DDS, Ryuu thought about the dream again, his face still expressionless.

"Ryuu? Ryuu, is something bothering you?" Kyu inquired, concerned for his friend.

"What? No, nothing's wrong, Kyu. Just thinking about something…" he replied, as they reached DDS. They entered their classroom, to the greeting of their classmates, Meg (a/n: DIE already…), Kinta, and Kasuma. Ryuu and Kyu greeted them back, as Kinta related some news to them.

"Hey, I heard that there's gonna be a new student in class Q," he said, "Maybe it'll be a pretty girl this time… ooh, and wearing a miniskirt—ouch!" he winced in pain as Meg hit him over the head with her bag. "Idiot…" she muttered, just as Dan-sensei entered the room, followed by an attractive girl about the age of fourteen. Her black hair was tied up, with some of it still covering part of her right eye. Her eyes were brown and she wore a white jacket over a sleeveless, dark blue turtleneck shirt, and black capris.

"Good morning, class Q. I believe that you've heard about your new member." He said, "This is Miyaki Shindouji. She is now an official member of class Q. She will be joining you on all your cases, and I hope you will all get along well," he said, surveying the class. "Miyaki, in hope you will be comfortable here."

"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." came the immediate reply.

Dan-sensei nodded, and class Q bowed together with their new member, as he left the room. After that, Kyu immediately leapt forward, and introduced himself in his usual hyper manner. "Hi, my name's Kyu and welcome to DDS, class Q!" he greeted warmly. The rest of class Q followed.

"Megumi Minami. Call me Meg!"

"Kasuma Narusawa. It's a pleasure."

"Kintaro Tohyama. You can call me Kinta." (a/n: rolls eyes)

"Ryuu Amakusa."

As the introductions finished, Hongou-sensei entered, and classes began. It was a typical day. Typical lessons, typical personalities, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with the exception of the new student.

After class, Meg, Kinta and Kasuma left right away saying that they had stuff to do. Even Kyu was already at the door. "Come on Ryuu! Hurry up!" he said. "You go on ahead, Kyu, I'll follow up." Ryuu replied. "Alright, then. Bye, Ryuu! See you tomorrow, Miyaki!" he dashed off, leaving Miyaki and Ryuu in the classroom.

"Ryuu… I wouldn't be surprised if you've figured this out by now, but to tell you the truth, I am actually—"

"A Pluto member, am I right?"

Miyaki nodded. "I was actually sent here by Pluto to spy on both you and Dan-sensei, but I'm trying to escape from Pluto. The only reason that I am a member is because of my grandfather's high ranking in Pluto…when he was still alive. You see, he died in a car accident when I was still young…"

"What about your parents?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.

She shook her head. "Dead." She said, with little emotion, which surprised him. "They were murdered by Pluto when I was still in infancy, because they thought that they might get in the way."

"Do you live with a guardian from Pluto?

Again, she shook her head. "They let me live in my own apartment, supplying me with what I need, and keeping a close eye on me. I'm supposed to pretend my parents are working abroad or something…"

Lucky you, Ryuu thought. He stopped interrogating her, because that was all he needed to know. They left the classroom, and neither spoke until they were outside the building.

"Well, see you tomorrow, then…" Miyaki said.

"Sure…bye…"

------

When Miyaki reached her apartment, she heard her telephone ringing. She hurriedly locked the door and answered it.

(Conversation)

M: Hello?

Caller: Good afternoon, Miss Miyaki…and how is Master Ryuu?

M: Oh, it's you, Yuri…his health seems fine. I love annoying them…

Y: No, I mean how is he? Is he very close to those classmates of yours?

M: Hmm…sort of, but I'll need more time to observe him…like how he interacts with them on a case, that sort of thing… Wow, I'm acting better than I thought I would…

Y: Very well, then, Master…By the way, our sources say that there will be a new case tomorrow.

M: All right then. I'll be ready for it.

Y: Do you need anything else, Miss Miyaki?

M: No, thank you, Yuri…

Y: Goodbye then, Miss Miyaki, and the rest of our organization wish you the best.

M: Give them my thanks, then, Yuri…Goodbye…hangs up

(End of conversation)

Miyaki let out a sigh of relief…she really hated this…the conversation, and having to live within the shadow of Pluto… She even had to lie to her new friends, and to Ryuu, because she couldn't tell him the whole truth about her connection with Pluto.

She ate dinner (she had to know how to cook because she was living alone), took a shower, got changed, and went into her bedroom. She took out a key that she wore around her neck, and went to a corner of the room. She took out a pin, which she inserted into a small hole on the side of a built-in cabinet. A small mechanism clicked, and a drawer was revealed within. She unlocked it with her key. Inside were a number of odds and ends.

Firstly, a picture of her family, including her dog (yep, they killed it too, for no reason…), chew toy and a collar (also belonged to her dog), a pendant, which was allegedly her mother's, and what she wore only on special occasions, and a picture of Ryuu, given to her by Pluto for identification.

Although these were mostly mementos, her attention was only on one object…a wonderfully made knife in a simple sheath with the Pluto insignia. She unsheathed the weapon, looking it over.

No…, she thought, …it's not yet time…

She placed it carefully back in the drawer, locked it, closed the compartment, and got ready for bed. Before she fell asleep, she thought about what lay ahead of her at DDS.

A/n: like? Please review and make a comment on Miyaki! There's a lot more to come and I've left you hanging! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!…ahem… I'm a really random person, so you'll never know what to expect! Don't mind if I don't update soon! Cheers!
