New Beginning

Chapter 1 [Incounter]

A voice rang out in the hallway,
"Come back here immediately!" Lyo ignores and simply uses his hands to cover his ears.

Everyone in the hallway froze in their tracks and began whispering to one another as the voice yelled, "Lyo!" Lyo began to run from the school building outside once it got to be too much to handle.

Lyo put his hands on his knees to regain his breath outside the building in a dark nook where no one could see him.

Unexpectedly, a voice uttered "That was crazy" in Lyo's ear. Still gasping for air, Lyo asked, "What?"

"Your endurance is terrible... I'm quite sorry for you...But what can I say."

Lyo gazed around while standing erect and confused. Lyo turned to look for the individual when, in the space of a blink, a smiling figure appeared in front of him.

Being startled, Lyo flinched and backed away from the figure. An extremely tall, muscular, and fit man with well styled brown hair and dark blue eyes was standing in front of him.

He pointed at Lyo with his long, slim fingers. He said, getting up close to Lyo's face, "You..."

"What?" flustered Lyo.

"You're going to go with me." The man smiled amiably and remarked. The smile was mocking, as Lyo can see.

"No, I'm not..."

The man paused, then chuckled.
Lyo asks nervously while tilting his head and scratching his head, "Who are you anyway...?"

"Oh, yeah." The man continued, "I'm just an ordinary guy, I've been watching you since you were born," as though it were the most commonplace thing in the world.

Lyo stands there frozen in place, his eyes widening in shock. Lyo paused and stumbled, "H-Ha ha... that's creepy man..."

Lyo turned to move away from the strange, unsettling, and terrifying man as he took a step backward and turn all the way to run, but then he felt someone grab his shoulder tightly. Lyo flinched and turned his head to his shoulder.

Lyo turned to face the man, who had developed a startling expression of seriousness. Lyo lifted his own hand to take the man's hand while making a concerted effort not to appear frightened.

Lyo felt his pulse beat faster than he had ever felt before.

With a trembling voice and an anxious look on his face, he says, "Uh..."
"You're hurting me."

The man presented a shocked expression, as though he had done nothing wrong.

Still holding Lyo's shoulder, the man said, "Oh, sorry sweetie."

"You still have me in your grip."

Lyo's head suddenly felt heavy, and he noticed that everything around him was moving before he could decide what to do or say. The mysterious, unsettling man with the serious face is the last person he sees before he passes out.

Lyo had a headache when he awoke. He was going to move his hands when he realized he was bound to the bed when he found himself in a room blanketed in white.

In an effort to free himself from the strange-looking rope, he begins to move his hands erratically.

"Goodness, why am I naked?" Lyo asked as he stopped moving his hand with his jaw jaw and serious eyes on the mirror next to the bed.

"Where the heck am I?" Lyo relapsed into panic and resumed his erratic
movements.

The door in front of him suddenly opened. "Great that now someone will see me, na-"

He started to speak, but the other person cut him off.

"so, you're awake," the girl said.With body art all over her, and long red hair. Lyo noticed the one particular tattoo on her left arm. It was a rat with a lot of eyeballs, which was unsettling, but Lyo was astounded by the tattoos all over her body.

The young woman came over and sat down on the bed next to Lyo.

The girl remarked, bringing out a file of papers out of nowhere, "You must be Lyo."

Lyo stared at her bewildered; it seemed as though she had pulled the file out of thin air.

When Lyo turned to look at the girl's chest, his face immediately became red as he realized what he had just done.

The young woman gasps and covers her mouth with her hands.

Lyo hastily turned his head away, flustered and ashamed.

"What is wrong with me?!"

Lyo had a thought to himself.

Suddenly, the girl reached up her hand

A white shirt and pair of pants appeared out of thin air on her palm like it just teleported there.

Lyo tilted his head in confusion and started to doubt his sanity.

"Am I imagining things?? Is this girl even real... "

Before Lyo could think about anything else odd around him .

He was snapped back to reality when he heard the girl spoke.

With a severe tone, the girl hurled the clothes at Lyo's exposed body

"Get dressed; he's waiting for you."
