Chapter 1:

ENTER AKARI KUROSAWA

AKARI


Inside a dark room the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn. It was like the Morning wasn't allowed there an d the person in the bed seemed to keep it that way. The only movement was the slow rise and fall of the warm blanket untop of the bed. On the nightstand an alarm clock went on as the sound tore through the person's ears as it screamed 04:00AM sharp. 
Outside the door,footsteps were heard and the door of the room flew open 

"Wake up it's time to go to school"- a voice said pulling the sleeping person's blanket away revealing a young ginger haired girl  "But I don't want you go mom"- replied the sleeping person 

The was silence and the woman took a backet pouring the water on the sleeping girl and the girl gasped and coughed. 
"Okay...okay I'm awake now" -said the girl and the mother smiled looking at her daughter. 
"good girl...Akari it's 04:30 now and we have an hour and thirty minutes to train" 
"Do we have to?"

"Yes you do now come quickly"- the women says leaving the room. 

Akari quickly rushes to the bathroom as she quickly prepares herslef for the Morning training sessions she always has with her mother and wears an oversized t-shirt and leggings. She then goes to the Dojo inside the house where she finds her mother stretching. 
"You took 20 minutes Akari"- Sumire stepped foward throwing a stick to her and she catches it quickly standing in a fighting stance. 
"just a moment now...wear this"- Sumire says giving Akari a long cloth. 
"huh? What should I do with it? Tie it in my waist?"
"No silly girl cover your eyes with it...today you will be training with your eyes closed."
"Are you serious now mom? Why would I need to cover my eyes these are self defense classes"
"You never know what life gives you so cover your eyes now"- Sumire stands in a fighting stance as Akari covers her eyes and also standing in a fighting stance. 
Sumire moves fast already the bamboo stick in Akari's rib.
"You need to concentrate, feels, hear and smell your surroundings and the enemy's footsteps too...Now Concentrate Akari"
She moves fast again and lands another hit on Akari's arm. 
"Mom your too qui-
"Smack"
"I said concentrate!!"
Akari shifted nervously, her hands holding the bamboo stick in an awkward position. 
"But this isn't fair mom"- she complained
"Life isn't fair my darling you need to concentrate or we will be here all day long"
"But mom what about school"
"I will tell your teacher you have a light fever"

Hearing her mother's words Akari knows how her mother can be, she is telling the truth and she will keep her at home until she learns to concentrate. 
Akari takes a deep breath, her muscles relaxing as she focuses on the surroundings like her mother said and her mother's footstep. 
Akari listened to the creak of the floorboards and her mother's breathing patterns which it felt weird because how can she hear her breathing. 
In a flash her Sumire was seen holding the bamboo still near Akari's neck but she blocked it before she was hit. 

"There we go"- Sumire said amused and she kicks akari in her stomach and she flies and hits the wall.
"Do not loose concentration you don't know what the enemy might do to you in just 3 seconds so you have to be fast"
"You could've atleast given me a heads up" 
"An enemy will never say "hey I'm gonna tell you my next move so better know how do dogde". 
Sumire walks up to where Akari is laying on the floor and kneels down to her looking akari in the eye and places her hand on Akari's cheek. 
"Akari you may see this as child's play but it's important for you to know all of this so you can be able to protect yourself even if I'm not there to protect you. You must not rely on anyone and always follow your instinct no matter what now lets go again"
Akari gets up and gets ready to fight again
Clack!Clack!

-In a huge ancient academy, footsteps were heard as students walked going to class in a small pace, laughing and chatting some in the hallways rushing to class some fooling off. 


Inside a office a young boy student who looked not older than about seventeen years old of age his expression flushed with panic and nervousness,he stood in fornt of the huge mahogany desk sat a man who was about in his late 50's with an unreadable serious expression. Only the sound of the clock on the walm ticking, thirty minutes passed to an hour and a half. 
"Where is he?"- he asked his voice with a hint of annoyance. 
"Hehehe...well um you see i called him a few times and he didn't pick up yesterday and I also sent him a text today morning bu-
Creak!!


The sound of the door opening cut him off as he was talking, he turn his head looking at the door and as soon as he did he wished he would faint. 


A black haired boy who is about at age seventeen years old walks in wearing a black school trousers, a white shirt with his red tie loose and baige blazer. His hand buried in his pocket and one hand in the back of his head his face looking unbothored and annoyed. 
The principal shoot up from his mohagony desk his face enraged with anger. 
"Yasuke it's been two hours since we were waiting for you and you arrive now" 
Yasuke didn't even spare him a glance as he went to sit in a nearby couch looking outside the window.
"Really now?"
The principal and the boy stood there speechless. 
"Dude are you hearing yourself?"-shouting
"Loud and clear so why did you call me here for old man along with this loser "-yasuke asked 
"Hey! Don't call me a loser you moron!"
"HIROSHI!! YASUKE!! stop this bickering"- Tadashi said with a stern voice. 

"Right" he nods and the takes a sit behind the huge mahogany desk resting his elbows on top of his desk and his hands clasped in front of his mouth and his face turning serious. Looking like he is about to say something serious an heavy. 

"There has been suspicious activities and events at Meikyoku High School and students have been going missing"- his voice with a fatness and seriousness. 
"So?they are teenagers who wanted attention from their parents. What's this got to do with us? They will come back when they want to"- Yasuke replied completely ran out of patience, he stood up leaving the room. 
"It's tadashi-sensei you rude imbecile"
"You're one to talk for a person like yo-"
Tadashi's voice stopping yasuke from walking
"The teenagers do come back but that's the problem"
Yasuke turns to look at him giving him his full attention with an unreadable expression 
"Wht do you mean by that?"- Hiroshi asked confused. 
"The students always come back dead or half head and when they are found they are always inside the school gym hanging up again the wall or on the floor we suspect its Malevolent force is present in the school and maybe it is it's doing."
Yasuke lets out a chuckle 
"Wait if the is Malevolent force inside the school it means an unbound is present feasting on humans"
"You're right hiroshi...unbounds can shapeshift into humans but they don't have much power to hold the appearance so they have to feast on a human. That's why we need you two"
Tadashi looks at Hiroshi and Yasuke
"I want you two to infiltrate the school as high schoolers investigate and after finding out everything we need you kill that thing before it causes more trouble I've settled everything for you both"
"Are you serious now? This is the most exciting thing you've ever said it's a chance for me and this knuckle head to bond again"- Hiroshi said excited 
"Bond? Don't get full of yourself now your excited to be around humans again stop using me as an excuse."
He turns his head and looks at Tadashi. 
"Old man i will do this thing for you but know one thing you owe me for this. Also I get to punch some Tiers and Unbound for fun *sighs* what a thrilling thought it is"
Tadashi nods "Understood now go along before school starts your going to be late when you arrive at the school don't let anyone see you use your powers."
"Rest assured old man...let's go now you egg head" 
Hiroshi and Yasuke exist the office and once again its filled with silence, Tadashi lets out his breath as if he was holding it. 
"These kids are going to be the death of me" he chuckles "Goodluck kids your gonna need it, and make me proud"
A cherry blossom tree bloomed outside the courtyard as a hundred bikes cramped up together in rows.  
Inside,he hallways ware empty no one in sight. Hiroshi and Yasuke only their footsteps made a sound. They stopped until the the second class entering it, a middle aged man stood in front of the classroom and when he heard the door open he turned his attention to look at who entered,his eyes beamed with surprised. 
"You must be Hiroshi Yamamoto and Yasuke Mashiba right? I'm Mr Hoshino your homeroom teacher"
"That's right we are"-Hiroshi replied filled with excitement he then bows his head "its nice to meet you sir"
"Yeah whatever he said"- Yasuke said unbothored 
"Okay....Everyone meet our new students who will be joining us they transferred from overseas..Boys please sit over there"
"Overseas must be rich"- a student girl whispered to her friend
"Look at the dark haired guy he is so handsome"- the other girl replied looking flustered 
Hiroshi and Yasuke go and sit down at the back sit. After sometime the Mr Hoshino exits the class leaving students buzzing up and gossiping about the two transfer students making any ridiculous assumptions they can mame. The first teacher arrives and starts her lesson. 

After the second period its break time and as students move around. Yasuke is sitting near the last desk at the back of the row next to the huge window. As he is staring outside he seems a brown haired boy talking to a ginger brown haired girl the conversation seems intest but what catches his attention is that the boy slaps the girl, his body goes still his eyes narrow turning cold. 
 Yasuke quietly watches the scene unfold and watches as the girl quietly endures whatever the boy is saying that seems like insults. The boy then disappears leaving the girl crying. He frowns looking at the girl with an unreadable expression almost to anger.
"Tch..what a useless girl she is"- he thought to himself,then he dropped his head into his arms sleeping. 
After a few minutes a voice calls out to him abd he ignores it but the person shook him.
"What?"
"I'm going out to get some snack for us Yasuke I will be right back"- Hiroshi said standing up from his sit 
"Fine"
Hiroshi leaves and a few minutes later someone shakes yasuke to wake up.
"Hiroshi stop this madness"- yasuke said not moving
"Is Hiroshi your boyfriend or something? Move your sitting in my place"
Yasuke then lifts his head up to look at the person speaking. He frowns as he is looking at the guy who slapped the ginger haired girl minutes ago and this time he is with his friends. Yasuke looked at him annoyed at the fact that he was woken up by this dumb head. 
"You must be new here I'm Sato Kiyoshi the king of this school and you here buddy are sitting in my place and you need to move before I force you" 
“king of the school?” he let's out a low chuckle looking annoyed “tch...annoying” he goes back to sleep again. 
The guy moved his hand as he was about to punch yasuke
“didn't you hear what I just said I said mo-
Yasuke caught his hand before he could punch him holding it tight squashing it. Yasuke looked at Kiyoshi his eyes full with anger and annoyance his expression unreadable giving him a death glare.
”first you dare lay your hands on a girl and second you come here to disturb my sleep"
“what girl...ouch your breaking my hand”
“do not take me for a fool you know which one? You don't mean Akari? She is nothing more that my slav--"
Before he could finish his words a punch landed on his face and he flew and hit the wall his nose bleeding. 

Yasuke walked up to him his face unreadable giving him a death cold stare. He squated infront of him and he lets out a smirk
”if you touch her again I will make sure I do more than what I did today...you are to avoid avoid looking at her, being in the same space,breathing the same air as hers or talk to her do you understand?“
Kiyoshi nods immediately ”yes...yes I will! I will never talk to her ever again"
"Good then" he stands up and notices everyone is looking at him and Kiyoshi.
When his eyes turn to the door he sees her standing there shocked. When her eyes meet his....his heart skips a bit and he turns on his heel going to sit down on his desk and resuming to his sleep. 
“it really is her"- yasuke thought to himself his heart racing non-stop like it was about to come out.
