Ch. 1: Minato, contract, and school
April 2009
On the Train to Port Island Aura, in a Gekkoukan uniform and had an Ipod on her hip and headphones around her neck she was now 5"3' and was looking around and saw who she was looking for since she was 11 and woke up in the hospital 'Minato, at last I found him' she then brushed some of her hair out of her face accidentally reviling her butterfly shaped birthmark, Minato happened to be looking over at her and noticed it and his eyes were now wide and looked away.
The conductor then said "We are about to stop at Port Island, I repeat We are about to stop at Port Island All passengers departing please gather your things and get ready to leave."
Just outside the Kirijo Dorms, both Aura and Minato arrived at the same time and Minato and Aura looked around and saw that the everything was an eerie green color, there was blood everywhere and coffins everywhere. Minato then turned to Aura and said "You first cousin"
Aura looked at him funny and he just pointed to his neck and went in.
Inside they both encountered a boy in what looked like pajamas he than said "Welcome, you're late, I've been waiting along long time." He than handed both Aura and Minato contracts and said "If you what to proceed , then please sign here. It's a contract. There's no need to be scared. It only binds you to accepting full responsibility for your actions."
Aura looked at the contract and it said "I chooseth this fait of mine own free will." and a place to sign my name below so I signed Aura Seta.
The boy then said "... very well. Time is something no one can escape. It delivers all to the same end. Wishing won't make it go away. And so it begins …"
The boy and the contracts disappear and then a female voice said "Who's there!?"
Both Aura and Minato turn to see a female who said "How can you be ... But it's...! Don't tell me..." she then took out something that looked like a gun.
When another female said "Wait!"
The lights then came on and the first girl said "The lights"
Then the second female said "I didn't think you'd arrive so late. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students who live in this dorm."
The other girl then asked "Who are they?"
"They're transfer students. It was a last-minute decision to assign them here. They will eventually be moved to the normal dorms."
"Is it okay for them to be here?"
"I guess we'll see..." Mitsuru then turned to Aura and Minato and said "This is Yukari Takeba. She'll be a junior this spring, just like you two."
Yukari then said "Hi, I'm Yukari."
Aura then said "Nice to meet you."
While Minato asked "Why do you have guns?"
"Huh? Well it's sorta a like a hobby. Well not a hobby, but..."
Mitsuru then cut her off and said "You know how it is these days... It's for self-defense. It's not a real gun, of course. It's getting late. Minato, your room is on the second floor, Aura your room is on the 3 floor. Your things should be there. Yukari will show you." Both nod and follow Yukari.
April 7, 2009
Aura was getting ready (Her hair is still to her knees) when she heard a knock at her door and heard someone knocked and say "It's Yukari. Are you awake."
Aura then walked to the door and opened it and saw Yukari and Minato outside the door and Yukari said "Good morning. Did you sleep well. Mitsuru-senpai asked me to take both of you to school. Are you ready to go?"
Aura smiles and tells her "Totally!"
"Ok let's go."
A few minutes later, Inside the New City passenger train "Anehazuru" ... Yukari then told Aura and Minato "We have to take the monorail to get there. Bet your last schools weren't like this, huh?" Yukari then looked out the window and said "This is my favorite part... when it feels like your gliding over the sea." She then turned back and continued "Our stop is Port Island Station at the end or the line, from there, we walk. Have you ever heard of Tatsumi Port Island? It's a man-made island. They build our school right in the middle. Oh look you can see it now!"
At the front gate to the school a random female student said "Mornin'!" to Yukari and replied "Morning" she then turned and told Aura and Minato and said "Well, here we are... Welcome to Gekkoukan High! Your gonna love it here!"
Entrance, Yukari turned them and asked "Your okay from here? You should go see your home room teacher first. The Faculty Office is right there to the left... And that concludes the tour. Do you have any questions before I go?"
Aura said "Nope we'll be okay"
Minato shook his head agreeing with her, Yukari then said "Hey... About last night ... Don't tell anyone what you saw, okay? See you later."
She then left and walked over to the board that showed the classroom assignments Class rosters are posted ... ... Aura could not find her or Minato name anywhere she then looked harder ... ... she then noticed a small note with their name on it Aura Seta Class F and Minato Arisato Class F, You look closer and noticed that Yukari Takeba is also on the list.
Aura then thought 'At lest we're all in the same class... she then started to head to the Faculty office.
Faculty Office a woman is in there and said "Oh are you two the new students, Aura Seta and Minato Arisato, your cousins right?" both Aura and Minato nod and the woman continued "Your both in 11 grade correct?" The teacher then flipped through the pages of Minato file then said "Wow you have lived in a lot of different places Minato Arisato Lets see... in 2004 ...That is what 5 years ago? Your parents *gasp* she then looked at Aura
Aura told her "I was told that my parents couldn't take him after the accident, our Uncle just lost his wife and had a small kid, and they could not get a hold of any one from his father's side of the family."
The teacher nods and said "Aura Seta you also lived many places and was in a 2 year... Oh."
Aura nods and said "That's why I was told not there when it happened."
The teacher nodded then said "I'm sorry... I've been to busy to, I didn't have time to read either of your files beforehand." she then told them "I'm Ms. Toriumi I teach Composition. Welcome to our school."
Then both Aura and Minato "I'm pleased to meet you." then both looked at each other and laughed.
The teacher then said "My, aren't you two polite? People like you two should be an example to others. Have you two seen the classroom assignments? Your both in Class F, that's my class. But first, we need to go to the auditorium. The Welcoming Ceremony will be starting soon." she then turned to the door and told them "Follow me"
In the auditorium, the Principle began his speak "As we began the new year, I'd like each of you to remember the proverb, "If the job's worth doing, it's worth doing well," when applied to student life, this means..." the Principle continues his speech
Aura can hear the students around her whispering about something... "I head we got two new transfer students." a male student told another male student.
The other student started to Smirk and told the first student "Yep. I saw them, too. They came to school with Yukari."
Then a teacher from another class said "I hear talking. I believe it's someone in Ms. Toriumi class..." Then Aura heard Ms. Toriumi said "Shhh! Be quite! You're going to get me in trouble!"
It doesn't seem like the rumors will stop anytime soon...
After school
In one of the classroom,
Home room is over. Your first after-school session is about to begin...
A male student comes up to me and said "'Sup dude!?" I turn and see a male in a hat and he continued "Haha, you look like a deer in headlights."
Minato who was next to me said "What do you want?"
The boy in the hat said "Oh come on. Let me introduce myself, at lest. Anyway I'm Junpei Iori. Nice to meet ya. I transferred here when I was in 8th grade. I know how tough it is bein' the new kid ... So I thought I'd check on both of you, make sure your both weren't freaking out on your first day."
Yukari then came over and sighed and said "At it again huh? Honestly is there any girl you wouldn't hit on. Did you ever think you might be bothering someone?"
Junpei then jumped and said "I was not hitting on her and even if I where she already has a boyfriend."
Aura then cut in "I don't have a boyfriend."
Again Junpei jumped and said "Then why is he so protective."
Aura and Minato looked at each other and nod I then told Junpei "He's my cousin."
That made both Yukari and Junpei jump and Yukari yelled "YOUR RELATED"
Minato nods and told them "We haven't seen each other in years."
Yukari nods, She then turned to us and said "Anyway, some coincidence that we'd all be in the same home room, huh?" Minato nods
Aura then said "I'm glad to have a friend."
Yukari looks confused and said "A friend... Oh me right."
Junpei then asked "Um Hello? Did you forget I'm in this class too? C'mon lemme in on the fun! By the way, did you three know each other? I heard you three came to school together this morning."
Minato looks at him and said "You already know about me and Aura."
Yukari told him "We live at the same dorm, I mean they both just got here and already the rumors have started." She then told us "Well I've gotta go take care of some archery team stuff. Don't try anything funny, you got that, Junpei?"
She then walked away and Junpei said "What is she, your nanny...?"
He then turned to Aura and Minato and said "Well just to clear something up, I seriously didn't come over to hit on you or anything. If you ever have a problem, you can tell your ol' pal Junpei about it!." Aura nodded and said "We'll remember that."
He then nods and told us "Heh cool. Well I'll be seeing you two around, then."
outside of the school, ... Junpei caught up with us in the hallway and asked if he could walk with us to the dorm. Just then so people from the track team passed us and Junpei said "Whoa, check out the jocks on the run... Hey did anyone tell you about the clubs yet?"
Both Aura Minato shock their heads and Junpei told them "well for males there's Track, Swimming, and Kendo. For Females its Volleyball and Tennis. You'd be joining as a new member though, so you won't be able to apply for a little while."
Aura makes small talk in till you reach the Dorm and say bye to Junpei and went inside.
As Aura and Minato enter the dorm, they see Mitsuru sitting on the couch, she then sees us and said "Welcome back."
Aura felt like she was going to drop when Minato noticed this he said "You should probably get some sleep before you drop"
I nod and start to walk to the 3 floor and into my room and was asleep as soon as I hit the bed.
After Aura and Minato left the Dormitory Lounge... A young man walked down the stars as Mitsuru was reading a book... he then told Mitsuru in a confident voice "I'm going out for a bit,"
"Huh"
The male then told her "Have you seen the newspapers lately?"
She then told him "I know. People who had no problems before are suddenly developing acute cases of Apathy Syndrom... I've seen it in the news quite often lately. They say it's due to stress, but..."
The male laughs and said "Yeah right. It has to be THEM. Otherwise, it's not worth my time..."
Mitsuru then said "you have a one track mind... Will you be ok on your own?"
"Don't worry. I'm just getting a little practice." he told her and then left the dorm.
Mitsuru *sighed* and said "This isn't a game Akihiko..."
April 8, 2009
At the school entrance you overhear a conversation. A student said "Did you hear the rumor...?"
A loud student the said "Oh um... something about a bathroom?"
The first student said "N-No! Not that one! I mean the story about the first-year student! Not only did she stop coming to school, she does nothing but sit and stare at the walls all day. If her mother tries to talk to her, she only mutters to herself "It's coming... It's coming...!"
The loud student then replies "Huh. How about that."
The first student then said, "You don't believe me...?" the bell then rung
Afternoon
In the classroom, Ms. Toriumi started to talk "Open your textbooks and we'll take a look at the first novel by... Zenzou Kasai. Ugh... why him? I'd rather teach Utsubo Kubota. He became famous as a singer, but he's also produced fine literature. I wonder why it's not in the textbook. Well, I'll just bring Kubota's book next time." she then looked around the room and saw Junpei sleeping and said "...Hey Junpei! Were you listening." she then asked him, "Who did I say was my favorite author?"
Junpei then looked at Aura and asked "Psst! Who does she like?"
Aura told him "Utsubo Kubota"
Ms. Toriumi then told him "That's right! So you were listening to me after all!"
Junpei then told her "Eheheh... Well, you know how I like to pay attention!' he then turned to Aura and said "Man you really saved my bacon, Aura."
Evening
In the Dormitory Lounge...,Yukari is already here, taking with an unfamiliar man while sitting on the couch and seat... when she tunes and see Aura and Minato and said "Oh their back."
The man then said "so this is our two new guests..."
Both Aura and Minato sat on the other couch across from Yukari and the man continued "Good evening. My names Shuji Ikutsuki. I'm Chairman of the Board for your hard to say, isn't it? That's why I don't like introducing myself. Even I get tongue-tied sometimes... I apologize about the confusion regarding your accommodations. However. It may take a while longer before you two receive the proper room assignments. Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Aura then asked "Who else lives here?"
The Chairman answers "Their are only five students in this dorm: You two, Yukari here, Mitsuru, and a senior named Akihiko Sanada. I hope you all get along. Do you have another question."
Aura and Minato shock their heads and said "No not really."
He then said "Then, I hope you have a successful school year. Now if you'll excuse me... you two most be tired from all the excitement. You should go to bed early. As they say "The early bird catches the bookworm"!"
At that both Aura and Minato think 'Isn't it "The early bird gets the worm"'
He then said "...Please forgive me for the bad pun."
He then chuckles and Yukari *sighs* and told Aura and Minato "You'll get used to his lame jokes.
On the 4th floor, after Aura and Minato go to sleep, the Chairman enters the room and sees Yukari and Mitsuru at a computer with the screen showing both Aura and Minato on it and ask "Working hard? So how are they doing?"
Mitsuru answered him "Aura went to bed awhile ago and Minato just went to bed, their both asleep now. Mr. Chairman, do you think their...?"
The Chairman then told her "Well, let's wait and see for now... the Dark Hour is approaching."
Meanwhile in a back alley of Tatsumi Port Island... a man listening to the radio *sign* "This sucks." Upbeat music is playing from the radio that the man threw away... the DJ then said "KJ Radio presents, The Bay Tuners. Tune in again next week for more of the hits! This program is brought to you by Kirijo Electronics. Kirijo Electronics: always there when you need them. The time is now midnight. A clock now appears and counts down to midnight and then as it gets to 12oclook it shatters. The man then said "Huh?... What the? Wh... What's happening to me...? ...A...A...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
Back to the dorm, The Chairman looks at the screen and said "Hmm... Their still sleeping. The Dark Hour occurs ever day at 12 midnight; you could call it the "hidden" hour. During this time, an ordinary person Transmogrifies into a coffin, and is oblivious to all that occurs." Yukari then said "Then, they must be..." the Chairman continues "As you can see, they retained their human form, asleep, but their definitely experiencing the Dark Hour. The only question that remains is whether or not they have the potential. Although they must. ...If they didn't they would've preyed on herby now."
Yukari shuttered and said "Scary..."
"In any case, we should continue to monitor them for a few days." the Chairman said
Mitsuru agreed and told him "Yes Sir."
Yukari then told them "I feel kinda bad, though, spying on them like this...
Aura's Room, Aura was fast asleep when she head someone saying "...Master... Master Aura Seta..."
In the Velvet room (Start to play Aria of the Soul if you want), Aura notice Minato siting next to her, also Igor across from them and he said "Welcome and Welcome back to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor, I am delighted to make your acquaintance Minato Arisato. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter... Only those who signed the contract can enter this place..."
The papers they signed at the dorm is lying before Igor, and out of habit Aura moved her hair out of her face and revealed the butterfly shaped birthmark and It started to glow blue and a man with a butterfly like mask appeared out of nowhere and Igor looks surprised and said "Master Philemon, how is it that you are here ."
Philemon looks around and sees the glow coming from Aura's neck and tells Igor "I believe It is the young female, look at her neck."
Igor then looks at and saw the glowing mark and asked "Where did you get that mark?"
Both Aura and Minato asks "You mean the butterfly shaped birthmark on her neck?" both Igor and Philemon nod and they continue "I've/She's had since the day I/she was born."
That made both Igor and Philemon nod and Igor then told them "We shall talk about this another time."
Both Aura and Minato nod and my hair began to cover the birthmark and Philemon disappears much to the surprise of everyone and Igor told us "I shall research this later now shall we continue, Henceforth, you shall be welcome in the Velvet Room. You two are destined to hone your unique abilities, and you both will require my help to do so. I only ask one thing in return that you abide by the contract, and assume responsibility for the choices you make."
We both nod and say "We understand."
He then turned to Minato and said "Hold on to this." he handed a Velvet Key to him and continued "There is still two more residents of this room who unfortunately could not be present for your arrival. But I'll make sure you four are properly introduced. Another time, perhaps. Till we meet again..."
End Ch 1
StCA: Philemon will appear when you lest expect it and help if need.
