Virtual Trap

Chapter One - Another Dimension

A young boy was sitting underneath a sakura tree, as he gazed up into the blue sky. ‘I still feel so lonely even though I have friends…’ The boy sighed as he kept staring up into the sky. He had dark blue hair, and a lighter shade of blue for his left eye. Whereas his right eye was golden, but he wore an eyepatch over it, since it always freaked everybody around him. He wore a black jacket, a pair of blue jeans and a pair of black converse. He also had bandages wrapped around both his wrists. His name was Akiyo Morigata. He lived with his parents in the city. But because he never had any friends in the past, he couldn’t care less about everything in life. He wished he never existed in this world. But that's not true. You see, he has friends. Good friends, to be exact. His friends were; Kohaku Masamune, Katsuo Hiroshi, Arata Mamoru, Ryuuji Hyouga and Ichigo Kurodake. They were all the best of friends, and alwaysed helped each other out. Akiyo was really happy when he had made good friends, and had maintained a good relationship with all of them.

Akiyo stood up, and began walking away. He looked back at the sakura tree, making a small smile as he stared at it. He'd always sit underneath the sakura tree when he's feeling down. The sakura petals always made him felt calm, and he felt like everything would be okay. It was the only place he'd go. But he'd never shared it with anyone before. Not even with his friends, because he always wants to be alone there

He turned back to his direction, and continued walking until he got a text message from his friend Arata. “'Eeeeyy!! Sup, Akiyo! Me and the other guys are coming over to your place. You don't mind right? I mean, you did say that your parents were out of town, right? Well, see ya in about 20 minutes I guess? Yeah! Anyway, the other guys are waiting for me. See ya soo. Oh, and set some snacks too, okay? Thanks.” Akiyo just smiled. He ran back home. He didn't live quite far away, so he always walked rather than using any kind of transportation.

He was already back at home. He closed the door behind him and ran into the kitchen. But only did he realized one thing. His living room was a mess. He got another text message from Arata saying “Hey, dude. We'll be there in about 10-15 minutes. Make sure you got all the snacks ready!” 10 to 15 minutes?! Akiyo started to panic because he knew he couldn't clean everything up in just 15 minutes. But he tried anyway. Well, lets just say he shoved everything into a big closet. Where else could he put them in? At least the closet was big enough. Not a minute less, he dashed over to the kitchen and pulled out some snacks, as well as drinks.

Minutes later, the gang had arrived. “Akiyo!! Nice to see you, dude!” Arata said, a smile was plastered on his face, meaning that he was really happy to see his friend. Akiyo raised his eyebrow in amusement. “Nice place you got here!” Arata asaid again.

“Thanks, Arata. So, how are you and the other guys?” Akiyo asked, as he gave his friend a smile.

“Oh, we've been alright. If you wanna know how being pushed down the stairs feel like.” Kohaku said sarcasticlly, shooting a glare at Arata. The rest of the other guys just sweat dropped at the both of them, while Arata kept apologizing to Kohaku. “So anyway, can we come in?” Kohaku asked Akiyo.

“Oh, you guys can just come in.” Akiyo said, making way for his friends to come inside. “Make yourselves at home. The snacks are on the table in the living room.” He said, closing the door behind him.

“Dude, your house is actually quite big than I'd imagened it to be.” Ryuuji said, looking at Akiyo's house from inch to inch. Akiyo's house was just like any other normal house would be. It was just a simple two storey house which consisted of 2 bedrooms, one for his parents, and another one for him. There were also 2 other guest rooms, which was enough to fit at least 3-4 people in both of them. The living room had a flat screen television, 3 couches, two chairs facing out the window, and two lamps. In the kitchen was a big dining table that could fit 9-10 people.
