'Sup guys? Been a while, hasn't it? So, this prologue is a bit shorter than the original. I pretty much chopped it in half and added the other bits to the actual chapter.

Now then, to explain a little bit about this story and how it's going to work. Each 'episode' will have at least three chapters. Each 'chapter' will be the entire 'episode' from a different character's POV.

At the top of each 'chapter' the POV will be determined by the name in the upper left. In this chapter, it says "-Akie Orihara-".

The length of a chapter will be determined entirely by a character's experiences. THERE WILL BE EXTRA CHAPTERS. Said extras will be in the form of short one-shots or under the fix name 'Love the Way you Lie'.

Please, R&R and, most importantly, HAVE FUN! Enjoy the story.

'What an odd name…' I thought, looking at the exams of the students around me. In this mundane world of boring things and people, a name like that one, Mikado Ryuugamine, would stand out to anyone though the short boy with the short, dark hair in front of the exam paper wasn't nearly as interesting as his name suggested he was.

Later, of course, I would find out how very wrong I was about him, not that it would change anything of course.

As it was, I had finished my exam a bit earlier than most students, so I was simply letting my mind, and eyes, wander. Quicker than I would have expected, they found the back of a faintly-familiar, dyed-blond head. I had only seen him the one other time, but I probably knew more about him than anyone else sitting in that room. 'Masaomi-kun? Hmm, I guess we'll get to play some after all.' I grin, the thought bringing a certain joy to my heart.

Finally the teacher collects all of the exam papers and dismisses all of the students. Many of them hang around to socialize, but I left almost as soon as I was allowed. I had to catch the train back to Kyoto.

In three weeks the paperwork would be finalized, however, and I would move to Shinjuku.

Maybe I wouldn't mess it all up this time.
