Chapter 2

Late July, 1998

Shadowed eyes stared out at the darkening sky. Already the stars were making themselves known and Orion's belt could be seen. The sky in the country was so much brighter than in the city, a raven haired youth mused. It was approaching night and from what the teen could tell, they were approaching their destination. Besides him, another teen with skewed glasses slept awkwardly on the bus seat, droll slowly slipping down his mouth. Already the raven haired youth, the only teenager on the bus awake, had taken a picture. Just for observation, not blackmail, just observation.

Yellow-orange light passes over the teen's face, revealing what seemed liked red eyes at first glance but when stared at they were more of a reddish-brown. Porcelain skin, like that of a doll, stood out against his black school jacket and seemed to be flawless. He wasn't built very strongly but that was what made people underestimate him and he knew it, it worked to his advantage. He was so very bored, already had he made observations about his classmates, which in itself was boring, and he had already read his book, which was also boring. Actually, the whole school year was boring. Sure he had caused mischief and watched as his lovely humans fought and reacted but, there just was not anyone to challenge him. No one to make his blood rush and get his adrenaline pumping, to make him…alive.

A sudden jerk of the bus caused several occupants to awaken and mumble incoherently, the glasses teen next to him included.

"..'zaya? Are we there?" The sleepy teen asked, rubbing beneath his glasses.

"It seems we have come across a fairy, Shinra. The bus driver is shocked." Izaya answered amusedly, watching as his friend sat up faster than a train.

"What? Where? Do you think they'll let me see it?" Shinra couldn't control his mouth and the words spewed out. He had never seen another creature other than Celty and he truly did want to see one.

"Everyone, please grab your bag and wake any friends that are still sleeping! We have arrived at Kamikitayama and our sister school has graciously decided to greet us this late." A short, round women called out. She was accompanied by a tall and creepy looking man that seemed to loom over everyone.

"Really funny, Izaya." Shinra grumbled as he grabbed his bag, a simple carry on (the rest of his things were in his suitcase). Izaya didn't reply, instead staring out the window at the other school's students. How interesting, they all looked so…country-ish. Their clothes seemed to still be more traditional, Japanese clothes and not like the European ones.

The raven haired teen grabbed his bag and followed his classmates out, the summer's nights air was warm and muggy yet strangely cold at the same time. The air seemed to taste fresh, clear despite the muggy feeling. Only one streetlight illuminated the road for miles and currently they were standing under it. Izaya's good earing picked up on the summer cicadas cry, which was strange as they were not nocturnal.

Now that he had a better view of the other students, Izaya observed them. It was a pretty good mix of both girls and boys, both looking strong and sturdy but short. The tallest male was probably a few inches taller than Izaya himself, and the raven haired male was pretty short. They all seemed perky, excited to meet other students that were from so far in the city. Yet, none of them stood out to Izaya. Seems he would be remaining bored for longer.

Izaya sluggishly fell onto the futon. He was so tired after not sleeping on the 7 hour bus ride and tour of the dorms the class was staying in. He couldn't even care about the other teenage boys that were still awake, most excitedly talking about this trip. The village was small but most had never seen the country areas before and wanted to explore. The last thing the raven haired teen remembered was Shinra pulling the blanket over him before he was out like a light.

Twsiting shadows…shadowed woods….screams…roaring flames. It hurt! Fire! His arm was on fire! No matter what he did the burning light would not go out, slowly eating his body. Time seemed to drag on, endlessly as he slowly burned to death. No words could describe the unimaginable pain. Screams and shouts filled the smoked saturated village. Women, men, children were all dying. All he could do was watch, watch as they burned, as slowly his loved ones was killed.

The shadows twisted again, this time he was a formless entity. Just floating, still feeling the undulated fear and agony.

"…Escape."

"Run…"

"….Flee."

"…He'll come for you.."

"Child of Shizuki… (1)"

"…Run.."

"Pure anger.."

"…Monster…."

The shadows twisted again, this time a menacing snake appeared; blue eyes and a twisting, shadowy, body. Screams and moans filled the air, slowly dying out as it consumed them. Cold, blue eyes glanced at him, opening its mouth; ready to strike. It launched itself at him.

Izaya awoke, terrified and breathing hard. It took him a few moments to register the wooden roof and where he was. The only sound was his harsh breathing, soft snores, and the deep even breaths of his classmates. A putrid taste was left in his mouth, cold sweat had started to form on his forehead. Reddish-brown eyes closed, needing to calm himself. 'It was just a silly dream, relax. Just a dream.' Izaya thought to himself, taking deep even breaths. He didn't need one of his lovely humans seeing him like this, they would ask too many questions.

The raven haired teen quietly sat up, careful not to wake Shinra who was sleeping like a baby. The soft padding of his feet on the wooden floorboards was the only sound in the hall on the quite night. Izaya quickly found the kitchen, remembering being shown before. The refrigerator was full of food and drinks, however, Izaya only took a bottle of water. He needed to relax, he could still feel his heart pounding, so he took to thinking about the village and what he had read up.

'Kamikitayama, population of 650. Most occupants are the more elderly. Grade school to junior high is combined, with only one high school. Village founded somewhere in the Edo period (2). It is known for its mountains and wildlife. Almost 100 years ago, there was a great fire that killed all its residents. The cause of the fire is still unknown. Fast forward, 98 years and the village hasn't really changed. New residents moved back into the village in '58 after much of the forest was healed.' It wasn't much, but that was all he could find. Even after all the digging, there just wasn't any other electronic record of the village.

Izaya noticed he had mostly calmed down, it was a silly thing to be upset over too. The raven haired teen quickly threw his empty water bottle away, turned off the lights, and emerged into the hallway. It was almost pitch black, the only light was from the full moon streaming in from the glass door. His skin gleamed in the moonlight, as he couldn't help but look out into the night. The stars really were brighter without the city, it was easy to see the Milky Way and he could see why people wondered if there was life out there. Still, no life could compare to his lovely humans, even if it was alien life.

By the time he was back in bed, the dawn was approaching already. He had spent too long gazing at the sky, he was starting to turn into a dreamer. Boredom did this to him, it seemed he would need to change that again.
