Chapter 1

Earthquake

Yumi's POV

"Class! We have a new student here today, please quiet down," The teacher said. I turned the doorknob with a quiet click. "Class, I would like to introduce Ichi Yumi," The teacher spoke loudly but quickly. I quickly smooth down my grayish hair, a habit of mine when I'm nervous. My dark blue flickered uncertainly around the room. "Hi…I'm Yumi Ichi, I've moved from Osaka to join you guys in this classroom. I would like to be friends with everyone, so please treat me nicely," I said, and mumbled a quiet 'thank you'.

The teacher pointed to a seat next to a red-hair girl. "Ichigo Momoiya! Please raise your hand for Yumi!!" She shouted at the girl. The Ichigo girl, who had sleeping, woke up with a burst of numbers tumbling out her mouth. The teacher sent a meaningful glare to Ichigo. She stretched like a cat and kept her hand raised. I gracefully walked down the aisle to the seat next to her. "I'm Ichigo! I can show you around the school! Maybe, if you like of course, you can come to the café I work at!" She said all in one breathe.

I stared wide-eye at her and nodded. Then the teacher started talking about punctuation and whatnot, I started daydreaming. Well, I have a big secret no one knows and I guess I should confront to myself.

I can see the future.

So when I mean daydreaming, I mean skimming through the future of others. It's quite entertaining. I have to enter one's soul to see their future, their souls are hidden throughout their body, but one's future soul is hidden behind the heart. Only, chosen ones get to see the souls, these people called Elders who have lived since forever pick these certain people, I guess I was one. But, I have a big job along with it. If others are making the wrong choice, that will change their life, wither it be good or bad, I have to change their minds. The thing is I can't see my future, which basically sucks.

Right now, I was skimming Ichigo's future. Apparently, she was going to marry this guy with pointy ears who floats and have 3 kids, I was kind of freaked out by the floating dude. But there was a different thing with her future soul, there was two. It was like a cat like soul mixed with human.

I jumped into it, skimming this stranger's soul future. It was a pink hair girl with cat ears and a tail. She was fighting that dude that Ichigo was to marry one day. Could that…possibly…be Ichigo? I heard my name, and snapped out of the future and into the present.

"Yumi! Yumi! Wake up! Class is over," Ichigo pushed me gently, snapping me out of my so-called 'daydreaming'. I looked up at her, wondering what that other soul could be.

I was walking, I had declined to Ichigo but promising to go tomorrow. I wanted to know about that soul, and only knew one person who could help me. I started the long trek through the park to the place I call home now.

I was by a pink café where I saw Ichigo race in, wondering why she didn't leave earlier. Suddenly, the ground started shaking. I dropped to the ground covering my head. And this what I get for not seeing my future?

I blacked out, but it didn't feel like I was sleeping. Then, I appeared floating with a beautiful bird in front of me. I took a step ahead, wanting to touch its feathers. It started running toward me, taking flight, its black tipped wings long. It gracefully went into me, but it felt…almost relaxing and good.

I woke up with a start, on the ground where I blacked out. What was that just now? Blue eyes looked curiously at me, with sadness and such knowledge that it had inside it. I jumped up backing away almost right away from the person.

I took one last look, a very handsome young man, probably 17 or so with blonde hair that whipped from the wind. I turned on my heel and raced home, as I reached home, opening the door to no one. I sighed, thinking that my large brother Miki won't be home until later. I had other things to think about...

I dropped off my school bag and switched to more comfortable clothes. I picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello?" A muffled voice came from the other line. "Hi Rina, could you come over? I have some questions," I said. Another muffled yes came from across the line and it went dead. This will be fun, just I hope nothing will blow up this time…


Hi people of the world! I've edited the chapter so I'm reposting it. If there's any mistakes please tell me, I'm going to keep trying until I get it perfect! I went into more explantion about how she can see the future, so I help that helps. Her profile is on my profile (o.o...that makes weird sense). So again, please tell me if I have any mistakes, I will correct them.
