with your heart as your guide...

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

There's a female student holding a gun while saying "*gasp* *gasp*" "I just...put it to my head... And pull the trigger... No chickening out..."She lift the gun to her head and... "No... I can't!" She throws away the gun.

There are 3 figures in a train as it was headed for Iwatodai. The first figure is a teenage boy by the looks of his school uniform as over it was a black trenchcoat with a hood over his head so that nobody could see his face. Yet. He was viewing the sites of the night sky through the windows of the train while waiting for the train to stop at Iwatodai. The second figure is a teenage boy too but he has dark blue hair, light blue eyes and a light build. He is shown with his hands in his pockets and he wears a pair of earphones that is the color of silver on his ears. He also wears the same school uniform as the first figure. He was standing beside the hooded boy.

The third figure is a teenage girl by the age of 17 she has auburn hair which she always has in a high ponytail, along with silver barrettes which form the roman numeral XXII, She has a pale complexion and striking red eyes and she wears the same earphones as the second figure but her color is red. She also wears a school uniform. She was sitting behind the two boys while listening to her earphones to pass the time.

The hooded boy stops his viewing and then sighs as he then talks to the blue haired boy beside him. "Minato, do you think they'll chase me?" He questioned as the blue haired boy now named Minato looked at him. "You already know they will chase you all around the school just so they can get your autograph from their favourite idol singer or maybe they'll ask you on a date, Izayoi-senpai if you didn't wear your hood that is." He answered as the now named Izayoi sighed. "Yeah, I know that. I can't just wear my hood all the time, that's just isn't me. My new song is coming up and I think I'll give them for being my fans." He said as Minato nods at him. "Anyway, how do you think about the school?" He asked as Izayoi answered. "We'll just have to find out Minato, I feel this is going to be a fun school." He said to Minato. "We'll just have to find out…" He said repeating the word as Izayoi nodded at him. Then Izayoi viewed through the windows again while Minato waited near the exit of the train.

The brown haired girl however was just sitting, listening to her favourite song by her favourite solo singer who is famous all around Japan. He's name is Izayoi Sakamaki as she was he's number one fan. "Huh?" She said to herself, that's when she stares at the two teenage boys that was standing and before talking.

She stares at the hooded boy cause there was something familiar about him but she can't piece it together, while that was happening Minato stares at Izayoi too cause he was the only friend he got since he was a child. There were the best of friends until that incident happens where his parents passed away but Izayoi's parent passed away earlier than him and that was eleven years ago.

Since then Izayoi was alone but he wasn't going to give up on life and think negative, No! His parents didn't want that for him so he searched a job for a kid his age until his grandfather adopted him and offer Izayoi on selling candies that he made. Izayoi was happy since then until a certain blue haired boy as the same age as him walks in front of him and asks
"Can you be my friend?" Izayoi was confused but looks at him and understands that the kid doesn't have many friends so he says. "Ok it sounds like fun! What's your name? And do you want to buy a candy?" The blue haired boy was shocked by his answer because every kid that he asked to be his friend said. "No you're a lonely boy why would I want to be friends with you." They all said that as he was alone. "Thank you for being my friend, my name is Minato Arisato what's your name?" The blue haired boy said with a slight smile on his face.

Izayoi answered "My name is Izayoi Sakamaki, and no problem Minato I always be your friend ok?" Izayoi smiled at him and held up his hand and ask "Can we shake hands?" Minato nods and shake hands with him.

That is the day that he meets Minato it was normal though but as he said it was fun. He chuckles remembering that once funny moment it was during snow day, Izayoi and Minato were playing snowballs until Izayoi hits Minato's balls by accident. He remembers Minato's face when he thrown that snowball it was hilarious. That memory will forever be imbedded in his mind.

The brown haired girl stands up from her sit and sighed. Tired expression written all over her face having to sit in the train for hours.

She rub her red eyes, as she get up, the train suddenly slowed down making her wobbly as she falls, ready for the impact she closed her eyes, she would had fell down not for a hand that grab hers and keeps her steady.

"Be careful next time ok?" A person said. She looked at the person who saved her as he was the same boy that was talking to the blue haired boy next to him. She can't see him as he wears a hood over his head but under the hood she can see his purple eyes that were staring at her. "You're always the gentleman, huh?" Someone said behind the hooded boy that saved her. She recognised him as she remembers that he was with the hooded boy.

The train seemed to slow down a bit but is still moving and the Train Conductor said in a speaker "Due to a malfunction in the switching system, today's rail schedule has been greatly altered." "We apologize to any customers who were in a hurry. The next stop is Iwatodai...

That's when Izayoi, Minato and the girl saw a blue butterfly flying gently at the same time. Minato and the auburn haired girl were slightly surprised but keep calm except Izayoi "Hmm... I think this is gonna be fun." Izayoi said to himself, smirking. The Train Announcement said "Iwatodai. This is the final train bound for Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure."

Izayoi, Minato and the girl figure pick up their bags and came out of the train, then a few minutes they were at the entrance of the station. "We arrived late and it's almost midnight." Izayoi said as the clock in the station reach 12 o'clock, everything changed. The girl and Minato's earphone suddenly went off, the sky turned green, water changed to blood and every electronic completely shut down. "Huh?" Izayoi said with narrowed eyes.

Something about the atmosphere seems odd...

"I think it would probably be best if we hurry to the dorm don't you agree?" Izayoi asked the two of them. "I agree…" Minato answered, "How about you, young lady?" Izayoi ask the auburn haired girl. "I agree too it doesn't feel right" She answered to Izayoi.

"Well...what are we waiting for let's go before 'things' got a little tricky." Izayoi said before he walks away with the two of them. The girl gasped. "Wha...?" As she, Minato and Izayoi noticed-like objects lining the deserted city...

They saw the moon. It's an eerily gigantic moon...

Gekkoukan High School, Iwatodai dorm...

"This is the dorm mentioned in our admission pamphlet right?" The girl said to the two boys that were in front of her. "Yes this is the dorm... Well let's go in I'm tired from that train ride." Izayoi then opens the door and steps inside with Minato and the brown haired girl following him shortly after...

After they walk in the door, the lounge was dark. Until a voice surprised them. "Welcome. You're late. I've been waiting a long time." An unknown boy with blue hair says to them wearing a black and white stripe clothes as he then holds two pieces of books out to Minato and the brown haired girl. "If you want to proceed, then please sign here. It's a contract. There's no need to be scared. It only binds you to accepting full responsibility for your actions." The unknown boy said with a smile.

Something is written on the papers he's holding out to the two of them.

"I chooseth this fate of mine own free will."
Below it is a blank to sign their names...

She and Minato look at each other and then wrote their names on the papers, Izayoi and Minato watch the girl right after she writes her name, they were shocked about her name more or less than Minato as her name is Hamuko Arisato. After Minato got over his shock he writes his name. "So Hamuko is your name huh?" Izayoi asked Hamuko as she nods her head "Yes that's my name why do you ask?" She answered the she asked him. "Nothing, that's a beautiful name Hamuko-chan." Izayoi said as Hamuko doesn't know why she is blushing but somehow she likes when he calls her name like that.

"What about me?" Izayoi asked the unknown boy. "You're a special one." The unknown boy said while he smile slightly and then he snaps his finger and out came a book, he holds it out to Izayoi as it was different from the two as the book color is golden while Minato and Hamuko are red.

Something is written on Izayoi's paper but it is different from the two of them. Izayoi looks at the book then at the unknown boy. The unknown boy says "Don't worry it says that you will take full responsibility for all of your actions including the two of them." he points to Minato and Hamuko.

"Well I like challenges." Izayoi said then writes his name on the paper as Hamuko peak to see his name but she couldn't as Minato was in front of her. After that the unknown boy said "...Very well. Time is something no one can escape. It delivers us all to the same end. Wishing won't make it go away. And so it begins..."

The unknown boy disappeared, as if melting into the darkness...

Suddenly a voice was heard by the three. "Who's there!?" Someone said. All of a sudden a girl in a pink high school uniform appeared before them and says "How can you be...But it's...! Don't tell me..." The girl is holding something that looks like a gun...

But a voice stopped her, "Takeba wait!" Someone said. "…!" The first girl was shocked at the voice. Suddenly, the lights come back on and so does Minato and Hamuko mp3's. Hamuko then hears another song that's not her playing, and she realizes that Minato also has an mp3 around his neck. He was listening to a song called 'Burn my Dead' if she's not mistaking. It was also reveal that a red hair girl was the one who stop the gun carrying girl. "The lights…" The first girl said to herself. The three can now see the first girl as she has short, light-brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a pink sweater jacket, a loose red ribbon, a black mini skirt, black stockings with white lines, and a heart-shaped choker.

"I didn't think that the three of you would arrive so late." The other girl said as she has long, dark red hair and matching color eyes. She wears the school uniform of Gekkoukan High, save for the Gekkoukan jacket and a different white blouse, a big red ribbon and black knee-high boots with high heels. "My name is Mitsuru Kirijo I'm one of the students live in this dorm." She added. "Who are they?" the first girl asked. "They're transfer students it was a last minute decision to assign them here. The two boys will eventually be moved to a room in the boy's dorm meanwhile the girl will be moved to a room in the girl's dorm." She said to her. "Is it okay for them to be here?" She said, "I guess we'll see, this is Yukari Takeba, she'll be a junior this spring, just like you three." Mitsuru said with a smile. "Hi, I'm Yukari." Yukari said introducing herself to them.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Hamuko Arisato, I hope we can get along!" Hamuko said greeting her with a smile while bowing. "Minato Arisato, Nice to meet you." Minato said also greeting her while bowing, "My name is Izayoi Sakamaki, It's a pleasure to meet you, Yukari-chan." Izayoi said greeting her but it is different from the two as he takes her hand and kissing it at the back of it. Yukari was surprised and blush at the kiss, after that she touched the area where he kissed it, It felt warm. "Izayoi Sakamaki…?" Hamuko, Yukari and Mitsuru said mentally shocked as that was the name of their favourite singer but they left the thought as he could be born with the same name. Mitsuru listen to his songs sometimes when she got nothing to do or was doing her work at home while listening to it as she loves his singing and at times she watched his live concert on the TV.

"...Uh" She said hesitated "Nice to meet you three too. I got a question, why do you carry a gun?" Izayoi asked narrowing his eyes a bit, "Um, well, it's sorta like a hobby...Well not a hobby, but..." Yukari said hesitant, "You know how it is these days... It's for self-defense. It's not a real gun, of course." Mitsuru said, "It's getting late, you three should get some rest. You'll two find your rooms on the 2nd floor while Hamuko-san here on the 3rd floor. Your things should already be there." Mitsuru said slightly looking at Izayoi. "Ok, let's go Minato." Izayoi said while walking straight to the stairs,"Hai, Izayoi-senpai." Minato answered before following Izayoi upstairs.

"Hey! Wait up you guys I have to show you two to your rooms first." Yukari said following them along with Hamuko."Hmm... Sakamaki Izayoi-kun eh? Well his interesting." Mitsuru said smiling before going upstairs to get some shut eye.

Dormitory, 2nd floor hallway, at the furthest door…

"This is it... You two, Izayoi-kun your room is here while Minato is right in front you it's pretty easy to remember huh?...Since it's right at the end of the hall. " Yukari said showing the boys their rooms. "Thanks, Yukari-chan and goodnight" Izayoi said before going to his room and close the door. "Thank you Yukari-san" Minato said before also going to his room.

"No problem." Yukari answered then she goes upstairs next to show Hamuko her own room.

Dormitory, 3rd floor hallway, at the furthest door…

"Well this is it Hamuko-chan it's the same as the boys cause it's pretty easy to remember and it's right at the end of the hall." She said showing her room. "So, any questions?" Yukari questioned. "Um…I signed a contract…" Hamuko said nervously. "What are you talking about? ...C'mon, it's not funny." Yukari said as she doesn't seem to know what Hamuko is talking about. "Um…Can I ask you something? On your way here from the station, was everything okay?" She asked concerning about something. "What do you mean?" Hamuko asked, tilting her head.

"You know what I- …Never mind. It seems like you're alright. Well better get going…" She said as she walked away but she turns around to face her. "Um… I'm sure you still have other questions, but let's save them for later, okay? Good night." Yukari said to her. "Thank you, Yukari-chan and goodnight." Hamuko said waving goodnight to Yukari before going into her room as Yukari walked down the stairs…

In Izayoi's Room…

"There's a camera here, so they think they can spy on us all day, Huh?" Izayoi said mentally as he looked at the camera from his bed. The camera can't see him looking because of his hood. "School…We'll just have to see…" He mutters under his breath as he then fell asleep to get ready for his first day of school.
