Chapter 1-A New Beginning

Gray-Jay's P.O.V.
"Jay, can you grab that last box for me?" my mother's voice called out from the living room of our brand new house, "It's about time we started unpacking."

My stormy blue green eyes flickered over to the door of my own new but empty bedroom in which I had been examining. Running slender fingers through my chest-length, layered, black hair, I let out a soft sigh before removing the appendage from my head and letting my long bangs fall back in place messily in front of my face. "Coming, Mom!" I hollered back, my voice holding a hint of boredom.

Whose idea was it to move to Japan again? Not that I particularly minded… It was just a lot of work to move, especially when moving with the fickle woman known as my mother. It could be quite the hassle.

"There you are, Jay." The dark-haired woman huffed softly as I entered the living room, "Set that box down over there in the corner. Actually wait…" she paused, "Maybe set it down over by the sofa so it's out of the way? Or even better yet-"

Never mind the 'could' be quite the hassle, it was quite the hassle. "I'm putting it in the corner." I informed the woman in my same easy-going manner, with perhaps a tad of tiredness tinging my voice.

"Yes, but-"

"It's going… in the corner." I repeated, making it very clear that if my indecisive mother wished to change her mind again then she could move the stupid box herself.

A soft chuckle escaped my mother's lips, "Grumpy, not?"

I groaned, "Just tired. It's been a long day."

This time she outright laughed, "You're always tired!"

I shrugged indifferently, not bothering to deny it, for what she said was pretty much true. There really was nothing I liked more than a good nap; anywhere, anytime. To be frankly honest, I didn't like troublesome things. They were, well… troublesome. In all truth, I always took the route in the road that held the least bumps. Not that I was dumb! In fact, I was actually highly intelligent and had a curious way of thinking outside the box. I'd often heard many people say that I could accomplish anything or be anything I wanted if only I had the proper motivation. Which for me, was extremely rare. However, it was also this peculiar way of thinking I possessed that actually made it much easier for me to find those simple and quietly uncomplicated paths of life.

When it came to school, I was pretty much the same. I could have easily graduated early by now at the age of sixteen if I'd wanted to. In other words, if I'd had the proper motivation to do. But in this case, I kind of liked to think of the tortoise and the hare; me of course being the tortoise who took it slow and steady instead of speeding on ahead only to lose out in the end.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A full eight hours later, I stood, hands on hips as I examined the box cluttered room before me. After helping my mother unload some things, I had immediately tackled the remodeling of my own bedroom. I had at least managed to get all my bedding laid down, dressers set up, and clothes stuffed into them. Stretching with a yawn, I walked over to another nearby box and pulled out a long, wooden framed mirror; something that my fuss-bucket of an antique collecting aunt had given me one year for Christmas.

Hanging the antique item on the wall, I accidentally made the mistake of actually looking at my reflection. "Well, don't I look like the pristine package of crap?" I grumbled with little interest as I slightly glared at the me staring back in the mirror.

In all honestly, I looked like I was about to pass out from exhaustion. Not really a surprise, considering that my last couple days had been spent moving from the United States to Japan, traveling by plane, running around finalizing living arrangements, moving in, and unpacking; all on about a total of six hours of sleep, I might add. Every last ounce of my hundred and twenty slenderizing pounds felt like it'd been quadrupled in weight as I had the almost irresistible urge to slump down to the floor and deem it my bed for the night.

I was sooo freaking tired!

"Jay!?" my mother's shout from downstairs managed to force my eyes back into an open state.

Blinking, so as to not fall asleep on my feet I replied, "Yeah?"

"Once you've got your room how you want it, why don't you turn in for the night?" she hollered back.

"Okay!" I answered her, stifling a yawn before turning back to look at the dozen boxes that still needed to be unpacked.

"…"

"Screw it! My room is good enough for now!" I decided solidly as I kicked a box off my bed before crawling exhaustedly underneath the inviting comforter that had been taunting me for the last three hours. A sigh of relief parted from my lips and I was about to finally close my eyes until I realized one very important thing.

The freaking light was still on!

"…"

"DAMNIT!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Jay!" a voice broke into my peaceful slumber, "Jay, wake up! You're going to be late on your first day of school!"

Slowly, a stormy blue green eye cracked itself open. "I'm gonna be late for wha-" I yawned lazily as I peered up out of my blankets at my mother standing in the door way.

"For school, that's what!" she snapped before walking over and ripping off my comforter, exposing me to the chilly morning air.

Closing my eyes briefly, I let out an exasperated groan, "I didn't even know I was already enrolled in one." I paused, "What school?"

"Meiou High School." The woman answered without missing a beat.

PAUSE…

"SAY WHAT!?" I yelped as I practically leapt out of bed. Having done some school hunting myself, I was fully aware that Meiou High was the most prestigious school in the city. Now, remember how I said that I tend to avoid troublesome things? Yeah, well, let's just say that prestigious and troublesome go side by side with one another.

"It's time you started using that head of yours more." My mom deadpanned in a further explanation, "Therefore, I decided to enroll you in a school that you had to use your head for." She sighed, "Honestly, Jay, you have the potential to be anything you want in life if you'd just put some effort into it."

"What do ya mean I don't put any effort into it?" I huffed, sitting back down on my bed, "Last time I checked, I'm a straight A plus student."

"Yes, but that was in an average public school, with average expectations." The dark-haired woman retorted, "If you'd actually put in an effort, you could have graduated by now."

Okaaaay… So, she had me there on that one.

"Now, put on your new school uniform and make yourself presentable." Mom huffed again before giving me a box, "I'll go downstairs and whip you up some breakfast and a lunch."

…

After the woman had departed from my midst, I finally decided that it'd be even more troublesome to fight against it then to just go along and say to hell with it. Or, at I thought I'd come to that decision until I saw the uniform I had to wear.

Seriously, the color made me think that a horde of sea clams had thrown up on the thing.

Briefly, I wondered how many times I had sighed already this morning. "Guess it can't be helped." I at last concluded as I slipped into clam puke colored monstrosity. Back in the United States, I'd definitely seen worse.

"Heh!" Comforting thought of the day…

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"So, this is Meiou High, huh?" I thought absentmindedly as I gazed up at the school building, "Guess it doesn't look too bad." Yawning, I continued to look around, "That door there is probably the office."

Shrugging, I decided that I might as well go and see.

Fortune seemed to be with me as my intuition was right on the dot. Stepping inside, a Japanese woman looking to be in her mid-fifties looked up at me with mild surprise.

"Can I help you with something, young lady?" she inquired with a motherly tone.

"Yeah." I supplied, sauntering over to the desk, "I'm the new transfer student, Gray-Jay Crees."

"Ah, yes, of course!" the middle aged woman bubbled excitedly, before reaching out to shake my hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Hesitating ever so slightly, I reluctantly made physical contact with the woman. Instantly, her name flashed across my mind.

Chizaru Amane

Suppressing yet another sigh, I removed my hand from hers before any more personal information could flash across my mind. Yeah, it was a little ability I had. I could tell what a person's name was just by touching them. Sometimes other information would come to me as well, but it was rare, and I tried to avoid it. Another little twist to my normal life was that I had the ability to sense the emotions of people around me. The stronger the feeling was, the easier it was for me to pick it up. I also had always been quite in tuned to the supernatural, having actually been the only one able to see a ghost that had lived in my mom and I's previous home.

I think all this weird shit was called something like ESP or what not.

"Maihara-sensei," the middle age woman snapped me out of my thoughts as she addressed a younger woman who was getting some coffee in the office corner, "this here is your new student, Miss Crees."

The coffee woman with ironically coffee colored hair turned around to give me a curious look before smiling sweetly. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Crees. You have perfect timing." She continued in a gentle voice, "I was just about to head to my classroom and as it so happens, you have homeroom with me. Therefore, I'll be able to make sure you don't get lost along the way."

"Oh, thank you." I replied as I followed her out, "Well, here goes nothing."

As we apparently got closer and closer to the homeroom, an odd feeling slowly began to seep into my senses. It was strange, kind of like the feeling I got when a ghost was around, but slightly different and fainter.

"Here we are." Maihara-sensei stated, stopping in front of a door, "Please wait here, Miss Crees, until I call you in."

"Sure." I shrugged with a small smile, watching as she disappeared into the classroom. There was no doubt in my mind, the odd feeling I was getting was definitely coming from in there.

"-our new transfer student from the United States. Please come in now, Miss Crees."

Blinking out of my stupor, I vaguely heard what the teacher said as I entered the room. Multiple pairs of eyes were trained on me as I walked over to stand by the desk. Some held minimum interest, while others held high curiosity. However, one of these pairs of extremely curious orbs caught my interest immediately. They were a stunning emerald green belonging to a young man with long, feathery looking red hair and slightly feminine features. It only took me but a moment to realize that the odd feeling I'd been getting was coming straight from him.

"Would you care to introduce yourself?" Maihara-sensei inquired as she turned her attention to me.

Nodding, I turned slightly and gave a more or less indifferent look to the class. "Nice to meet ya'all." I greeted in a friendly manner, "I'm Gray-Jay Crees, but Jay is fine since that's what everyone calls me."

Different murmurs ran through the classroom as I made my introduction. Once finished the homeroom teacher once again addressed me, "Thank you, Miss Crees. Now, why don't you go take a seat?" She continued, pointing to an empty desk directly beside the still curiously observant red-head I mentioned before, "Mr. Minamino, I'm sure will be happy to answer any questions you might have during the new start of your attendance here."

"But of course. I'd be more than happy to." The young man smiled warmly at me.

But still…

That smile did nothing to dissipate the strange aura that clouded around the young man. But perhaps I was just being paranoid.

…

Well, that wasn't like me at all. Shuffling over, I returned the boy's smile with a small smile of my own. Yeah, being paranoid was way too troublesome. As long as the innocent looking redhead didn't do me any harm, I really couldn't care less who or what he was and I was more than willing to be friends.

"I'm Shuichi Minamino." He informed me in a gentle voice, extending his hand in a friendly manner as I took a seat.

Once again, I hesitated ever so briefly before taking the hand offered to me in friendship. Then again, the guy had already told me his name, so it wouldn't really matter as long as nothing else filtered into my mind. I prayed it wouldn't.

"Jay." I replied with a small grin, taking his hand in a handshake. I blinked once, then twice as an unfamiliar name flashed across my mind, doing a fairly decent job of surprising the shit out of me.
