A tall young girl stared down at the mirror, waving her new uniform around in all twist and turns. It was past bedtime and she was still hyped up into the internet. Connection was a bit slower over here than in the city though which gave her usual stoic expression a newer definition of boredom or was it displeasure?
She set back down her new uniform which consisted of a white button up and a ribbon and navy blazer and skirt but she preferred the black cardigan her uncle suggested her. He teased Kai something about what set the mood downright on her and it reflected the perfect weather but Kai can't remember the rest due to a little mishap and physical injury on her uncle. Gee she can't remember who did that.
Kai strolled right back along to her laptop on the extremely bright lit screen and low lit room littered in moving boxes. She continuously scrolled the mouse up and down unnecessarily her eyes glued down to the screen like a zombie.
If one could read her unentertained expression and only knew her so well they would know that is the look of distain. Her mind felt constantly distracted by the ups and downs and the pain was obviously felt down on her heart. The weight was too heavy right now for her to bear.
"Serra…" she whispered.
Recently it had been one week she'd broken up with her boyfriend. She tries to remember the reason why she dated him in the first place but only anger wells up in her, obvious on her fist.
"You've taught me a valuable lesson." She recalled him say.
"Bastard…"
Kai had felt she wasn't alone on his final parched out words. She believed Serra had taught her something valuable as well.
'Never give up your heart and trust to someone'
To her it had felt as if giving up a portion of her life and heart to someone. All the effort she'd put in was futile and went straight down to the gutter in finding out her boyfriend's dark intentions.
Convinced Kai told herself that night to never love again, the tears welled up into her eyes as she looked down helplessly onto the bright screen looking as if she were in need and crying out for help.
"It's been two weeks. I'm a bit worried…I hope you're ok out there Kairi. Please come back."

If she had one friend in the world she could truly cry out for help to as her real friend, it was Akira. The only thing that separated them though was distance. Kai did not know the color of Akira's hair or eyes nor where he could be found.
Akira was only someone she met online who played cards with her. And online was the only place Kai could find herself to be at peace and be herself. Akira and she surprisingly became fast friends maybe because of the interest they shared and that was all. It was simple. Kai never asked for anything else. She wanted it to be simple and simple was how she wished her life could be right now. If only she hadn't been tossed into this turmoil reality wouldn't have to difficult and she'd be able to speak to Akira again and ask for help. It's only been 2 weeks now since Kai had last responded. Her inbox was full of messages about Akira's worries. Kai didn't have the strength or heart to reply she felt guilty and hurt, worried that she only bothered Akira more than she should have…after all Akira is the only person who knows her story.
It's was bright and early that eight am in the morning. Clouds would usually clog up the sky Kai was already down at the kitchen cooking up some breakfast for her uncle who was lazy enough as is.
She remembers when she had first moved in with her uncle his unhealthy lifestyle consisted of cup noodles and T.V. dinners. Therefore she learned how to cook meals for him and her at the young age of eleven.
"Uncle, breakfast is ready!" she hollered, "Uncle?"
Kai looked around the living room and even knocked at his door but he didn't answer. She didn't ask to enter for all she knew the lazy bum could've been snoring away. But when opened up his doors Kai found that her uncle wasn't there. The young teenage brunette sneezed, the dusty piled up room full of boxes unfit to her liking. She opened up a window wondering how her uncle even slept here.
Peeking out the window she spotted her uncle waiting right outside. What on earth was he-
"Kai! Come down here and I have to introduce you to our new neighbors!"
Neighbors?
Kai wasn't the social type. She doesn't remember doing this back in the city besides the first day of school. Ugh speaking of school she had to attend tomorrow, despite looking forward to wearing her new uniform. She wouldn't admit it.
Kai fiddled around looking for a mirror in the old man's room, desperately trashing the place but ditched the idea and fixed her hair the best she could and rushed outside.
Everyone in this neighborhood is probably old so what's it matter and she's not interested in friend making either, not after that. All Kai has to do is present herself neatly and walk way. The school also might as well be dead too since the city is booming with all the kids her age and over here is nothing but a piled up area of old to middle aged people playing bingo.
"Oh Kai you're here! Come and meet the Sendou's." her uncle urged her forward.
Kai formally did so, wearing he usual stoic expression which earned a slap on the back from her uncle meaning for her to lighten up.
"Hello my name Kai Toshiki, it's nice to meet you." Kai bowed, introducing herself to what actually seemed a young woman probably in her twenties with a gleeful look.
"Toshiki-san, oh my. You're such a beautiful lady. How old are you may I ask?"
"I'm seventeen ma'am."
"Oh my I have a son that's almost the same age as you. He should be here any minute…"
"Hey! Mom I brought the apples you asked for!" a young boy waved from behind in high spirits.
"Speak of devil, I was just talking about you Aichi!" Shizuka said facing her son.
The short blunette boy along with a small younger girl behind his back appeared.
"I'm Sendou Aichi."
"And I'm Emi!" the little girl took out her hand, shaking Kai's.
"It's nice to meet you." Kai said expressionless.
"Hey Kai, lighten up. You're being rude. I'm so sorry about that." Her uncle chided, apologizing.
"Oh my not a problem!" Shizuka said. "You kids will be starting school tomorrow so I'll be expecting you Aichi to show Kai her way around here." She said facing her son.
"Ahh um yes!" he said a bit nervously looking at Kai as Kai stared right back.
What's his problem?
"Starting tomorrow the two of you will go to school together." Kai's uncle stated.
Kai only looked back down at Aichi. For some reason when she caught his something pulled at the strings of her sixth sense. Something deep down at the bottom pit of her stomach told her this boy meant trouble.
Well...
