Introduction
"I will transfer to a new school today, I believe it will be going well, I heard theres a kendo club there.
I also heard that 3 more students will transfer to the same school with me at the same time.
I had a dream of someone standing with her back to me. behind her was a giant tree which seemed dead, and nothing else was around us. she told me to come to her, but then I woke up, with a pendant around my neck...
Those words were written around the shape of the pendant: "When all the keys are placed together"... What keys? And why do I even have this pendant?
Strange glowing flower petals continue to fall from the sky continuously, they are lighting my room from the outside even now...
Whats even more strange than that, is that they disappear the moment they land...
Thats strange, but I might have something which is connected to that thing. Time to investigate..."
*kendo is the sword fighting art.
From the side view:
One night in the middle of the winter, at midnight, a sudden rain begins. But its no normal rain. Its a rain of strange, glowing cherry blossoms. That time at midnight, four young students which were sleeping that time, had a strange dream, involving a strange woman standing with her back to them, and a tree which seems dead. They all had the same dream, but they didn't see each other. When they woke up at the morning, they all found a pendant around their neck, each in different shape.
The shapes are:
A sword
A crested moon
A five-petaled flower (possibly cherry blossom)
A fan
In addition, there were words on each pendant, putting together a sentence.
The words are:
When all the keys are placed together
Under the PCB,
The one which never blooms will bloom,
Then the final ordeal will occur.
Back to the story, it rained unnatural cherry blossoms continuously, and no one knew when it was going to stop. It was really strange that the unnatural rain left no marks, and once the cherry blossoms landed, they disappeared. The 4 pendant owners all transferred to the same school that day. When they leave for their first day at school, is when your story starts. It starts... now.

"I heard Matsuda-sensei is getting fired this year..."
"Why don't you just go ahead and ask him out...."
"I heard we're getting some new students..."
The last bit piqued Kuroda's interest. This school rarely got new students, and now they were getting four, as Kuroda was hearing. New students hardly concerned him; as long as they didn't try to top him in the school test scores, or, less likely, try to 'defeat' him in Kendo, they would probably have little to do with him.

Instantly after a few seconds, she began noticing how there were other students looking at her with interest & curiosity. So she smiled kindly & kept on walking until she found her homeroom class. She entered & made her way towards an empty seat in the back. Throughout the entire walk, she heard nothing else but whispering about her being one of the new students. Inside, she soon came to realize, wasn't at all different. They continued to whisper amongst themselves, but a lot of those whispers weren't about her, but about a guy.
Wow, he must be really cute if they keep talking about him like that, Himawari thought just a second before she actually spotted him. & he is...

What's the use of joining the kendo team if it's already a chore for me at home. Miya thought and barely noticed anything around her.

Himawari didn't understan why, but she suddenly got a strong feeling that things weren't as they appeared to be. There was more, but she couldn't place her finger on it yet.

For the moment, he looked at the students, and then noticed one thing they all held in common: they were all wearing some kind of pendant. One of a sword, one of a waning moon, and one of a flower. Well, there was probably no connection--and if there was, it was none of Kuroda's business, and he aimed to keep it that way.

"Funny, I was just about to ask you the same question," Himawari replied with a smile. Then, whilst her palm supported her pendant so she could look at it better, she told him when she'd gotten it & how it has appeared out of nowhere. She wasn't at all worried about how'd he react to the last part of the story, for there could be many different reasons why she'd woken up with it on. "The one which never blooms will bloom," she paused & giggled softly, "and you? When did you get you pendant?"

Quietly, Himawari thought about the two phrases. She tried to make sense of them, but there was certainly something missing in between them. Then, she also thought about how there was now a 'we.' It seemed they were now tied by the mystery of it all, which wasn't something she was complaining. It would be frightening if she were by herself. "There's no such thing as a coincidence with this, now is there?" she said in a low, thoughtful tone. "I wonder if the other new students have these pendants too."

Slowly he pushed the door open and looked around. The fan-shaped pendant he had aquired the night before dangled from its place around his neck, shining brightly in the light of the classroom. he walked in and took a seat infront of a handsome young man. He turned around quietly, and held out a hand, ignoring the constant whispers. "I'm Yuki. A new kid I guess." He said with a smile. He sighed as his ear captured one of the whispers. "That girl is really cute..." someone said. "She's pretty flat in the front tho! Haha!" Yuki knew he was a guy. And as long as he knew, it was ok.

'I wonder who's behind all this & why us?' Himawari thought as she glanced out the window. She watched the cherry blossoms fall into a dance with the dripping rain, still endlessly despite what many would consider bad weather. Their pink lightness didn't appear to be harmed or bothered by the water at all. 'Our lives are about to take a drastic turn, huh? Well, what will be, will be.'

She looked out the window again. It's raining, the same kind of weather when mom died. She then pushed this thought aside and started to pay attention to the teacher who came in.

"As I thought... more clues will be added soon enough... I just hope its not a huge jigsaw puzzle to work on..."

"Oh! My name's Himawari Katsumo, it's a pleasure to meet you," she said with a smile on her face & a giggle. She found it a little funny that she'd completely forgot to introduce herself earlier.

So, with Himawari accepting, they both went towards the cafeteria. Along the way, while watching the combination of the bad weather and the cherry blossoms through the window, he suddenly asked: "Do you want to solve this incident with me? I won't stop you from going or not going, but I'm asking you anyway."
As they got to the cafeteria, he saw a small TV hanging from the corner. News were broadcast, and he could see it was about the cherry blossoms, and expert scientists trying to interpret what was happening. "Look over there, as the experts of the world will be trying to solve this incident, and just won't be able to, and we are the only ones who can solve it... At least I think so..."

"I'd love to solve this with you," Himawari murmured as she took her eyes off the small screen in order to look at him. She tilted her head slightly to the side & smiled sweetly.
