"Let time take its course."
"But..."
"I know there is no cure. I will make the most out of the time I have left in this world"
Heart-wrenching sobs filled the room.
A new transfer student arrives at Kunugigaoka Junior High. For some reason, she is...

Reiko tossed her empty bottle of black coffee in nearby trash bin while looking at various storefronts. She was walking to school alone today seeing as Karma had decided to skip. Her amber eyes landed on a Masked Yaiba poster taped on the display window of a toy store. Her hand unconsciously reaching her necklace as she stopped in front of the store.
"Shouldn't you be going to school?" A voice said causing Reiko to look up. Her amber eyes meeting a pair of violet ones.
"Yo Orange-san" Reiko responded before turning to look back at the poster. Asano sweat-dropped at the nickname. Orange-san?
"Shouldn't you be going to school instead of staring at a toy store? After all, finals are coming up soon". Reiko raised an eyebrow in response. Asano blinked. In order to avoid father I decided to leave extra early. I didn't know I left that early
"Orange-san's speechless for once?" Reiko said in mock shock.
"Hardly, it's a good thing that you're awake so early. Perhaps at this rate, you'll be able to move out of Class E. Why do you keep calling me Orange-san though." Asano continued with his radiant smile.
"I don't plan to on leaving Class E...Second Place-san" Reiko responded only for Asano's ears to turn pink in embarassment. Damn it! I liked Orange-san more....The E class kids are so peculiar. Tch..it doesn't matter I'll be the one to get first place during finals. I, Asano Gakushu, will obtain first place. I won't let an E class student ruin the school's hierarchy! The students of Kunugigaoka will never again question my power once I claim first place.
"Orange-san, do you know what toys are? Stop doing that inner monologue thing"
"Toys? Yes, of course I do...why do you ask? And I wasn't doing an inner monologue." Asano said as his inner monologue was cut short. How'd she know...
"Splendid" Reiko tugged Asano's blazer sleeve as she led him into the toy store.
"What are you doing? This can be considered kidnapping you know...we wouldn't want damage to the school name with an alleged kidnapping. Not only that, you're going to rip my blazer." Asano said.
"Now we wouldn't want that would we.." Reiko said after a bit of thought and took Asano's hand instead. What the...
The strawberry blond-haired boy's face was tinted pink as Reiko began to examine the toys in the store. Well...I have time to kill anyway. I suppose I can spend time with her. Perhaps I'll be able to find out what ever father is hiding from me through her. If someone in that class knows..it has to be her. Approaching someone like Akabane is out of the question.
"What is this supposed to be" Reiko asked in confusion as she examined a box she picked up that was on a shelf. Curiosity gleamed in her eyes. Cute...I mean..why doesn't she know what a jack-in-the-box is. How strange.
