Reader's POV

~Dream Realm~

Joey was walking and walking but all she see is nothing but darkness around her. "Ok great where the hell am I." She said looking at her surroundings.

Joey was walking for so long it felt like hours, which it only had been like about 10 minutes. She sighs "Great... Feels like I am lost." Joey said getting tired of this. "Where am I anyways." Joey looked forward and she see's something up ahead but she can't make it out quite well so she decides to walk towards it. "What's that?" She said squinting her eyes. The more it came into view Joey realized it was a little girl. The little girl had the same hair colour as Joey and the same eyes. Joey's eyes widen. "Y-Your m-me?" She said shocked that she's looking at her younger self.

The younger Joey turns around to see the older Joey, younger Joey smiles at her. "Hi there." She said giggling, she moves closer to her older self and puts her little hand on Joey's cheek. "Man I look sad and lonely. What have I been doing those past years growing up?" Younger Joey says looking deep into her older self eyes and she can see how depressing they look.

Joey doesn't say anything but looks at her younger self in shock. Younger Joey realize her reaction so she lets her little hand fall to her side and just stare at her. 'Wait... Don't tell me she doesn't remember?' Younger Joey thought titling her head sideways. "May I ask... Do you even know who you really are older me." The little girl said. "Huh... " Joey said realizing what the little girl said. 'Who I really am?' Joey thought looking at the little girl confused. "Who am I? What are you even talking about." Joey said scratching her head. "Heh yeah you don't remember." The little girl said sad at her older self, the little girl turned around and started to walk away into the darkness but before she could walk away Joey quickly grabbed her tiny wrist.

The little girl stopped in her tracks and looked back at Joey with her sad eyes. "Tell me who I really am, please." Joey said looking at the sad little girl in the eyes. 'Why is my little self sad at the words I just said?' Joey thought. The little girl looked away sobbing, she didn't want Joey to look at her like this because she knows that it will hurt herself. Joey looked at her with worried eyes, she knew that there was something wrong so she tries to help her. "Please can you tell me." Joey said, the little girl doesn't say anything to Joey. She ripped her hand out of Joey's grasp and turned around, before she was gonna walk away she glanced back at Joey. "Maybe next time older me." The little girl said walking away. "You will awaken soon." The little girl's last words before she faded in the darkness.

~End of Dream Realm~

Joey shot up from her bed, almost making herself fall over. She looks around realizing that she was in her room. "Ugh... " She rubbes her eyes. "Damnit what's up with that dream." She said swinging her legs over the edge of her bed. She sighs "Why can't that dream just go away." She said shaking her head. Joey got up and she got ready for the day, she did her same routine like yesterday.

Joey was in the living room on her couch watching some more *Tokyo Ghoul* It was easy for Joey to get distracted, well only the one's she likes doing or whatever her favorite hobbies to do when she was home alone. (Well like always home alone) Then later Joey decided to go into town today again. 'I wonder if I will ever meet up with Zero again.' She thought smiling at herself while walking into town.

While in town, people were still giving Joey strange looks. She sighs and just shakes off the feeling. "I wish I was like everyone else, so they won't treat me differently." She said walking to the same area where she first pumped into Zero. She sits on a nearest bench where she can wait and which for Zero to show up. "who am I?" she said, thinking about what her younger self said couple of hours ago. In her dream.

*Zero's POV*

There was a slight knock on his door. "Zero are you up." Yuki said on the other side of the door. Zero rolls over on his bed and looks over at the door. "Yeah I'm up." He said yawning. "Oh well the Headmaster wants to see you and me in his office." Yuki said. Zero puts his arm over his eyes, slightly annoyed. He sighs "What for." He said. "I don't know yet but he said that it's important... So hurry up in there and get your ass out here." Yuki said leaning against his door, feeling impatient. "Yeah yeah I hear ya'." He said getting off his bed and walking to his closet. "You could at least let me take a shower." Zero said grabbing his stuff, he walked into the bathroom and quickly jumped in. "You better hurry up Zero." She said getting kind of mad.

After 15 minutes later Zero got out and got dressed, he walked to his door and opened it. "Oh no." Yuki said falling to the floor when Zero opened it, she closed her eyes shut, waiting for pain to come but she felt arms wrapped around her waist. She looks up to see Zero who caught her in a nick of time and then he stood her up. "Sorry about that, I didn't know you were still here." He said looking away and rubbing the back of his head. "That's ok, I was to much thinking about what the Headmaster wanted us for." She said stretching the back of her head. "I totally forgot I was leaning against your door." She said laughing at herself. "So... Shell we go then." Zero said walking past Yuki towards the Headmaster's office. "Yeah ok." She turned around following Zero.

They arrived to the Headmaster's office. Yuki knocked on the door and they can hear the Headmaster slightly say "Come in." Yuki opened up the door to see Kaien standing at his window, looking outside. "You called for us." Yuki said walking over to Kaien's desk. "Ah yes." He said walking over to his desk and sitting in his chair. Zero and Yuki were standing in front of Kaien with a serious look. Kaien sighs. "So the reason why I asked you two to come here is because I have an invitation for you." Kaien said pushing up his glasses. "For what?" Zero said with his hands in his pockets. "Yeah Headmaster what's the invitation for?" Yuki said with a confused expression. Kaien digs in his desk drawer and pulls out a folded envelope. He hands it over to Zero. Zero takes the envelope and looks at it.

Yuki walked over to Zero's side and looks at the envelope as well. "So what is this invitation for?" Yuki said looking at kaien who had his arms folded across his chest. "I want you and Zero to deliver this invitation to Joey Black Whiteman." Kaien said. Zero's eyes grew wide and he quickly look at kaien. "Why does she have to come here." Zero said, crumpling up the envelope. Yuki seen what Zero did to the envelope, so she quickly snatch it out of his hand. Zero looks at Yuki. "Don't mess up this envelope!" She said yelling at Zero.

Kaien had a animesweatdrop after looking at Yuki and Zero's reaction. Zero looks at Yuki with a confused expression. "...and why do you say that." He said looking at Yuki who is now hugging the envelope close to her chest. "Because this ain't yours to wreak so be gentle with it." She said looking away from Zero. Zero just looked at her with a animesweatdrop. Then it was awkward silence after that, Kaien kept looking at Zero and Yuki, while Yuki was holding the envelope close to her chest and smiling. (Who mostly is acting like a little kid) and Zero who was just standing there looking at Yuki confused. Then after awhile Kaien broke the silence by clearing his throat, Zero and Yuki Iooked at Kaien. "Zero, Yuki bring that envelope to Joey and then I will tell you the reason why she is coming here. Is that clear." Kaien said with a serious tone. "Yes Headmaster." Yuki said bowing to him. Zero on the other hand didn't say anything, he turned around and walked out of the office, Yuki followed after him.

~Mean awhile~

Zero and Yuki were in town looking for Joey. "Ugh... How in the hell are we supposed to find Joey." Yuki said stretching her arms out. "I don't know." Zero said with a cold tone in his voice. Then Zero and Yuki kept walking around town, looking at alot of people walking by. 'Why does the Headmaster wants Joey to go to Cross Academy?' Zero thought. He sighs and puts his hands in his pockets. "This is going to be a long day." Yuki said.

It's been like 5 hours later since they came into town. Zero was getting tired of this so he took a break and went to sit on a bench, Yuki was also tired so she sat beside Zero. She sighs. "How are we supposed to find her, it's hard already that I'm tired." She said leaning against the bench, closing her eyes. Zero says nothing but just looking at his hands. 'Joey where are you.' He thought closing his eyes.

~Flashback~

'I want to thank him proper.' She thought before reaching her arms out for a hug but she stopped half ways, then just backed away from him. She had a dark pink blush on her cheeks and she avoided eye contact. "I-I s-should get going n-now." She said walking away from him until she was out from his sight.

~End of flashback~

After Zero remembering what happened between Joey and him, he had a smile remembering when Joey was about to hug him. Then it popped into his head on where Joey will be, he shot open his eyes and quickly looked up. Yuki looked at Zero with a worried look. "What's wrong Zero." She said putting her hand on his shoulder. "I think I know where Joey is." He said getting up from the bench. "Where then." She said also getting up from the bench. "Follow me." He went to where he first met Joey.

*Joey's POV*

"I guess he's not going to show up today." She said with a sad expression. "Maybe I can wait a little longer." She sat on a bench with her back against the back rest and with her legs folded. After that she closed her eyes thinking of her younger self by what she meant by who she really is. After about a half an hour of waiting she got tired of it and got up from the bench. "It's getting late so why would he ever show up, I'm not like everyone else." She said walking back home but by the time she could walk any further away from her spot, she was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist. She flinched by the sudden surprise. "Whoever you are please let go of me." She said looking back at who is holding her wrist. Her eyes go wide when she see that it was Zero.

"Where do you think your going." Zero said looking at Joey in the eyes, Joey says nothing but just looks back at his own lavender eyes. 'Oh my he's really here but who's that girl with him.' She thought looking behind Zero to see a girl with short brown hair, with brown-reddish eyes and who is also shorter then Zero. "So you must me Joey Black Whiteman I heard about, it's nice to finally meet you I'm Yuki Cross." She said bowing to Joey with a smile. Joey just look at her for awhile before returning the smile. "Yuki Cross hey... Well it's also nice to meet you." She said titling her head with a closed eye smile.

After Introducing each other Yuki pulls out an envelope and hands it over to Joey, Joey takes it and looks at Yuki with a confused expression. "Um... What's this for?" She said looking at the envelope. "It's an invitation to Cross Academy." Yuki said smiling. "Cross Academy?" Joey was confused at to why would someone would invite her to something, obviously people hate her because of who she is. Yuki seen her expression so she walked up to Joey and she put her hand on her shoulder. "Is there something wrong, you seem sad." Yuki said looking at Joey. "Oh... Um... It's nothing important." She said stretching the back of her head and laughing a little. "So Joey are you ready to head to Cross Academy." Yuki said. Joey nodded. "Yeah but I'm gonna quickly head home and pack up first. Then we can go." She said smiling at Yuki. "Ok." Yuki said taking her hand off Joey's shoulder.

Then Yuki and Zero followed Joey back to her house. 'Joey maybe different compared to everybody else but she's the same exact like Yuki.' Zero thought ruffling his sliver hair with his hand, Yuki and Joey were ahead of him, talking about whatever. Zero was looking at the both of them from behind and just sighs. "Seems like Yuki has a twin." Zero says laughing quietly to himself. After awhile they arrived at Joey's house, which to there eyes it was a big house enough for 10 people to live in there. 'Damn this is a big house... Is she rich or something.' Zero thought looking at how big the house is. "Ok just come in and make yourself at home until I'm done packing." Joey said unlocking her door and opening it. Yuki and Zero nod their heads and walking inside the house. "Wow this is a nice house you have Joey." Yuki said with big anime eyes. "Thanx." Joey said walking toward the stairs. "So who all lives with you?" Yuki said sitting at the living room couch, Joey stops in her tracks and looks at her feet. "Nobody. It's just me who lives here." She said. "Oh I'm sorry." Yuki said feeling guilty. "No it's ok I'm use to living alone." With that Joey sent upstairs.

"Nice going there Yuki." Zero said leaning against a wall, closes to the main door. Yuki glares at Zero. "Shut up, I didn't know ok." Zero just chuckles at Yuki's reaction. 'She's alone just like me.' Zero thought.

After about 20 minutes later Joey walks down with two suit cases in her hands. "So... Shell we get going now." Joey said walking up to the door. They both nod and head towards the door as well. "Do you need help with those suit cases?" Zero says looking at how Joey was struggling with them. "N-No it's ok I got it." She says trying to get her house keys out from her coat pocket. Zero sighs. "Let me." He says taking one suit case out of her hands. "No really it's ok." Joey says with a light blush. "I got it besides I'm use to carrying all the grocery's." He says walking away. Joey just sighs and walks along with Yuki and Zero to Cross Academy.
