On route to Port island,

"*Sigh* How much longer am I gonna be riding on trains," I questioned, tired and exhausted. How long has it been since I left home; hours? No, maybe it was longer than that. ...I don't know...

Oh, before I forget, I'm Kei Kazuki, age: 16. Job: Unemployed, reasons: well...I like to keep that a secret. Other than that, I'm an average run-of-the-mill teenage boy. (Obviously...)

Originally, I went to school at St. Hermelin high, which is located in the city of Mikage-cho. Apparently, there was a big conspiracy with an old company called "SEBEC", and their branch president - Takahisa Kandori. Ever since then, the city had a bad reputation for being haunted by evil spirits. But its just stupid superstition.

Last January, I was told that I would be transferred to a different school and city. A city called "Iwatodai"; a city that is run by the Kirijo group... I think?

I have to wonder though, why was I getting transferred to this type of place. The school that I would be transferring to is Gekkoukan high; the place is a private school- Actually, let me emphasize that; PRIVATE...SCHOOL! (It's crazy!)

"*Sigh* How was HE able to get me into that type of school?" My cousin, Naoya Toudou is what you would call "a very mysterious person sometimes". But in the end, he's always been there when I needed someone...

"Now arriving at Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure." "Finally!"

I got off the train and onto the platform, for a brief moment I imagined myself taking off a pair shades to reveal what's behind the glasses, but unfortunately, I forget my sunglasses, and I only have prescribed glasses that I don't wear often. (Even though I should wear them more often.)

Before I exited the station, I look at the time on my phone. "11:59 P.M. Huh, well, I know one thing - I'm late!" I started to run like a bat out of hell, but then something weird happened while I was running.

"Whoa!" *crash* "Oww that hurt, how did I fall?" I ask my self just before seeing why. "B-b-blood! " I started to panic.

"AHHHHH!" I started searching my body to see if I was bleeding anywhere. To my relief, I didn't have any wounds. "Where the hell did it come from, then?" *Drip* "Huh, what the?" I felt something drop on my forehead... I swiped something off my head. "*Gasp*" The thing that dropped on my head was blood! "Ahh, what the hell is this!?" I ran away from the station and through the blood-soaked streets. I was running towards the place that I would be staying at; I'm supposed to be staying in a dorm for the remainder of my high school years. I guess you can say, its a home away from home, right?

Iwatodai dormitory,?

"*Pant* *Pant* I seem to have *Pant* arrived at the dormitory." That word has a weird ring to it.

I started to slowly open the door. (Totally not because I'm nervous or anything.) Although, before opening it fully, I heard someone talking. "Oh crap, it must be the R.A. Maybe I should wait outside just to be safe."

No, I don't see that working out well in the end. "So, I'll just peak in from the entrance to see who's there..."

Lo and behold I only see... One person? Huh, that's weird, I thought I heard another person?

"Who's there." "Holy shit!" I thought they noticed me there for a minute. I poke my head in the second time. I find a girl with auburn hair standing firmly; wow, she's pretty.

I analyze the situation and it looks like she has something in her hand. It appears to be... "...A GUN!" What the hell is going on!? Why is this day so damn weird; first the blood all over the street, and now this!

But nonetheless, it seems like that guy is in danger. Hmm, I wonder what he did wrong, maybe he cheated on her? The situation started to escalate. "I guess I have no choice, I have to step in and help!" So with that being said, I did what I thought was appropriate. I started to power up, and then... "Please don't shoot!" "Huh?"

I must have been cursed because right when I made my grand entrance I tripped on something and then went rolling like a bowling ball. I was trying to get up but everything in my body was sort of in pain. (And spinning, did I mention spinning?)

"Takeba wait," This new arrival sounded serious and confused at the same time; I think she's confused because of me, strangely laying on the floor. I tried to get up and play it off.

"Listen, lady, whatever happened between you and your boyfriend is both of your business, but I'm sure the both of you can just talk it out." Right after I said that the crazy gun lady replied back in an embarrassed and angered way... "WHA- HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" "So-sorry!" She's scary...!

After that, the lights came on and everything was quiet, regardless of my sudden outburst to break the tension in the room.

"...Am I late?"

The red-haired girl started to descend the stairs. Her arms were crossed, the way she walked said royalty. Well, in that case, I should introduce my self first before the blunett can. "Hi, I'm Kei Kazuki, wait no that's not proper, I'm Kazuki Kei."

The red-haired girl spoke... "I didn't expect you two to arrive so late."

"Really, well, in that case, I'm very sorry!" the blunett sounds very apologetic. "I'm Mitsuru Kirijo; I'm one of the students who live in this dorm." The blunett began to introduce himself. "I'm Makoto Yuki, it's very nice to meet you." "Is it okay for them to stay here?" "I guess we'll see." Why wouldn't it be?

"This is Yukari Takeba, she's a second year just like you two."

Yukari Takeba, huh. Well, how about this "Yuka-chan!" I think they heard me. Well, I mean it doesn't sound like a bad nickname. I always try to nickname someone in a good way, but if she doesn't like it I could change it to something else. Maybe "Yuks," no that sounds stupid. hmm, how about, "Take-chan"?

"Um, hello? I'm supposed to show you to your room, now." I snapped out of my own train of thought after Yuka-chan spoke to me. Needless to say, I was blushing...a lot. "What, umm, s-sure." I blushed, even more, when I made eye contact. Hopefully, nobody noticed...

We ascended the stairs to the second floor, apparently, the second floor was where all the boys live and the third floor was where all the girl stayed in. In the end, Yuka-chan guided us to the rooms we will be living in for the next while. After Yuka-chan gave me keys to the room, I opened the door to my room. I saw all the stuff that I had transported here but I didn't care about unpacking right now, all I cared about is sleeping off this weird day.

"I slipped on blood for crying out loud! It might never come off!" After changing out of my clothes and into something more comfier. And before I knew it, all my worries slowly start to go away, as well as the stress...

Right when I plopped on to the bed, I basked in the softness of the great and all mighty bed. I guess now this is my room...away from my room. No, that sounded weird... Eh screw it, I'll be living here for a while, anyway until I'm done with high school. I make this out to be bad but yet... "This could be awesome!" I was thinking about the possibilities of being a new student in another city where nobody knows me; this can be more than awesome! *Smirk* "In that case, goodbye, Mikage-Cho; hello Iwatodai!"

Suddenly, my phone began to go off. I checked to see who it was. "Hello?" "Kei, did you make it there safely?" The voice on the other was Naoya. "Yeah, I was able to get here safely, but I was pretty late." "Did you find the trains as we practiced?" "Yes, but there was a delay for some reason, so it had me panicking because I didn't know where to go and then I-" "Calm down Kei, you did great on your own." "T-thank you." I almost had several heart attacks while getting here. "But hey, are you sure you can pay for me to go here? I mean I don't mind going to-"

"It's okay, I can pay for your tuition there. So don't worry about it..." I trusted Naoyas' judgment on these types of things so I'll roll along with it. But to be honest, I'm glad I can go to a different school now, and live in a different city.

"Well, it's pretty late so you should get some rest, tomorrow you'll need the mental strength." "Maybe, you should know the first day is easiest." "Maybe, but it's a privet school so you might be in for a surprise. So get some sleep." "Okay, I will..." "And Kei." "Yeah?" Naoya paused for a moment. "I hope you're able to make some friends while you're there." "I'll try. Seeya." "Bye."

I hung up on Naoya and I put my chest. I'll be a while until I see Naoya again and that made me kind of sad, homesick even... "Naoya... Will he be lonely without me," I jokingly told myself. "Because I know I will be..." Naoya is like my best friend, the guy I can count on, but now, I'm miles away from him. This is a real issue...

"Well Naoya, guess I'll just have to roll on with it, or something in those lines."
