CHAPTER 1
The alarm went off and Kane shot up in bed as the light poured in through a crack in the curtans.
"what time is it?" Kane asked himself rubbing his head. He looked over to the alarm clock blairing it's same genaric tone driving him crazy and switched it off. As he looked at the sad state of his room he sighed.
"This place is a mess" Kane stated as he got out of bed kicking a few empty cans out of the way. Dee made his way to the shower like always to begin his early morning rutien of wake up,shower,eat something. He never really could call the food he ate breakfast,and then he would put on his mask. I know what you're thinking,"why does he wear a mask?" , well you see Kane was special he didn't look the same as everyone, and everyone would stop and stare at him and it always made him feel self-concious about how he looked. Kane picked his mask off the counter and pulled it over his face then slipped on his hoodie and an old pair of tattered gloves witth the fingers missing from them.
"I'm leaving now" he called out sarcastically, but part of him wished that someone would answer back. Kane was now an orphaned child and lived alone in his parents old chatue in Ikebukaro,Japan. He kneeled down and laced up his favorite pair of jet black combat boots. As he stood in the door way he looked back at a picture of his parents and sister who where killed when his father had some of the local gang members arrested for offering his sister drugs.
"I'll be right back guys." Kane's voice cracked a bit as he fought back tears, "I promise I will."
he opened the sliding door and walked out letting it shut behind him. It was Kane's first day at his new school, and he had no interest in making friends. He looked up at the petals of the cherry blossoms falling from the tree's to dance in the wind. In his heart Kane always kinda thought his sister Tsubaki was with him watching the pedals dance too. He looked back down to the road seemingly deep in thought. Half way down the hill he spotted a few girls talking amoungst themselves, but they didn't pay him any attention.
"The mask worked." Kane said quietly to himself as he walked on. He walked on towards the school all the while images of what may happen today flashing through his head. After a while Kane arived at the gates of Rira academy for the gifted. He followed a flock of students inside hoping not to draw attention to himself.
"lets see where is the gymnasium?" Kane asked himself as he looked around for a sign or directory to guide him. He wondered around a bit until he found the gym where the academy was hosting a welcoming ceramony for the new students. Kane was stopped at the door and given a name tag. Kane walked into the gym pinning the name tag on his hoodie.
A man dressed in a grey suit walked up on stage and approached the podium.
"Good morning students;welcome to Rira academy for the gifted" The man said bowing slightly in respect such was Japanese custom.
"My name is pricipal kumo and I hope you have a successful career here at Rira"
After the assembly the students all stood and bowed then made their way to their classes. Kane walked down the hall looking down at the floor. Kane was making his way to his engineering class he bumped into a girl.
"Sorry" Kane said rubbing his head trying to scramble to his feet.
"Watch where you're going idiot!" girl shouted as she gathered her books.
Kane sighed "I'm sorry," he picked up one of the girls books and handed it to her.
"It's fine I guess" she answered back."So who are you? I dont think I've seen you around here before"
" Kanashi Kumo,but most people call me Kane." he replied
"Kanashi huh.....I think I'll call you Kumo," She smiled innocently at Kane.
"What's your name?" Kane looked at the girl fixing his mask.
"Lucy" she replied smiling cutley;Lucy turned around and walked off without another word.
Kane darted to the class without further inncodent just making their before the tardy bell. He sat down in an empty seat towards the back. The room was an eggshell white saftey poseters in every corner ,and a large marker board at the front. The teacher stepped to the front of the class he had on a short sleeved polo shirt on and tan slacks with black dress shoes.
"Hello class my name is Mr. Korano" The teacher said writing his name on the marker board.
"Good morning Mr Korano" the class replied in unison.
