April 7th 2009

Standing, waiting inside this train, going to a destination that seems a little familiar. Me and my onii-chan are going to Gekkoukan High school. This will be our third time transferring to different high schools. Hopefully Iwatodia hasn't changed much since... since then. 10 years, I can't believe its 10 years since that incident that left me and onii-chan without a family. Sure we have aunts and uncles that are still alive and that care for us, well there is a younger cousin, that had quite the name for herself, as a self-proclaimed Detective. She lived in a little rural town in the country side, but her parents died when she was little, just like ours. Me, onii-chan, and little Naoto formed this little pact to always look out for each other. Where ever she is I hope she is safe.

I look up towards onii-chan, he had short blue curly hair, he noticed me staring at him, he just smirked and said "you okay". I nodded slightly. He then whispered to me "it's okay I will protect you here, nothing bad will happen to you, I promise". I nodded happily and gave him a hug, I know he doesn't like them; but it's ok if it's me. "And if 'he' shows up he won't go near you, I can promise you that". That statement made me tense up with fear because what if he found me, what would he do to me this time, and how close I will be from ending the pain forever.

I was then snapped back to reality when me and onii-chan heard an announcement from the train. "To all passengers on board we apologise for the delay, we will be arriving shortly in Iwatodia, this is the final stop for Tatsumi Port Island".

"We better get ready, come on" onii-chan said.

I nodded and mustered out a small "okay". As soon as he said that, onii-chan stopped for a second, I looked up at him, that was when I noticed that his eyes had glazed over, when I asked what was wrong he just said nothing.

Once we finally arrived at the train station for Iwatodia we started walking toward the Minatodai dorm we are staying at. When we managed to get outside when the clock struck 12, our surrounding seem to have changed. The floors turned into a dark red colour almost like blood red, while the buildings changed to a dark blue/black colour. Once they got outside they looked up and saw the green moon with a green fog accompanying it. As they looked toward the roads they saw coffins all over. Then I said "I guess it's that hour again".

Onii-chan followed that by saying "I wonder what this really is". He then spoke again "come on let's get to that dorm".

Once they had finally found the dorm, Minako knocked on the door hoping that they weren't late, ... no answer. I knocked again, … still no answer. Onii-chan then went to open the door, expecting it to be locked. He turned the handle and opened the door.

He said to me "Wait here for now, while I check it out. I'll call out if I find anyone ok."

I nodded, I really didn't want to go inside the dorm whether it was deserted or not.

…...

I waited 5 or 10 minutes he still didn't come to get me. Instead of waiting around wasting more time, I peeked through the door slightly to see what was keeping him, the answer was not what I was expecting. There was a girl with short, light brown hair with pink cardigan and a short black skirt, she looked beautiful, probably the same age as me, pointing a gun at onii-chan, I had to stop her, I won't be left behind. I had come up with a plan to try and draw her attention away from onii-chan by being the bait. As she was about to initiate her plan, she had heard a panicked voice, Minako didn't like the sound of it. She had to act fast, but before she could begin her plan to rescue her big brother there was another girl with log, red hair in a white blouse, and a long black shirt, that had stopped the girl with brown hair from hurting onii-chan. Once she had put the gun down, I decided to make my entrance. As I did I got stared at by the two beautiful girls, onii-chan explained our situation for being late to the dorm. He said that" There was an accident on the train track so the train got delayed". Then everything turned back to normal, the green fog disappeared, the red puddles of liquid weren't there anymore and the buildings turned back to normal.

Then the girl with long red hair said that "It's ok, I understand. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo a third year at Gekkoukan High school, this here is Yukari Takeba a second year, just like you". I worryingly say "Can I say something" they nodded, "what's with the gun", Kirijo-senpai said "There has been some trouble recently near here, but don't worry we'll protect you". I let out a cheerful smile, and introduced myself and Minato.

"I'm Minako and this is my onii-chan Minato, it is a pleasure to meet you". Yukari seemed troubled by my cheerful expression and only mumbled out a "likewise".

Then onii-chan finally spoke up and said "Did our luggage arrive here safely".

Kirijo-senpai replied "They are in your rooms now, speaking of rooms; Yukari will you show them to theirs please".

I spoke and said "wait this is a coed dorm" Kirijo-senpai said "Yes, the boys and girls are separated by a floor, the boys on the second floor while the girls are on the third. Yukari will you show them to their rooms, they will be transferred into the correct dorm in a few days while finishing touches are being made". Yukari-san seemed reluctant to go, as if she wanted to say something to something to Kirijo-senpai. "Come on, I will show the pair of you to your rooms". Yukari-san said, as she said that she looked back at Kirijo-senpai with a worried, yet angry look.

As we made it to the second floor, Yukari-san showed onii-chan the way to his room at the end of the hall. She then said "This is your key, make sure you don't lose it, it'll be a pain". Onii-chan replied "noted, I'll make sure not to lose it". Yukari-san then said, worryingly "By the way, did the pair of you notice anything strange". I replied by saying "No, nothing unusual". Onii-chan said that "There was a young boy here, is he someone who lives here as well". Yukari-san said with shocked "No, the only people who live here is me Kirijo-senpai and Akihiko-senpai another third year, anyway I bet you two are probably are tired, so I will show you (looking at me) to your room, then you should go to your rooms". I nodded and said goodbye to onii-chan, then me and Yukari-san went up-stairs to the third floor, and at the end of the hall. Yukari-san said "Here is your key make sure you don't lose it as well". I replied with a smile "I promise I won't". I entered my room, got changed then went to bed.
