Snippet #2517903

In a world in the future, you'd imagine that life was so much more easier already. You didn't have to worry about small things- like getting hit by a car or something, but that was still here- and you could be pretty much carefree. Though a certain boy wasn't exactly having a good day.

"First day and I'm already panicking! Dammit, Kurai! Hold yourself together!"
Getting kicked out of bed by your own sister wasn't exactly the best feeling that you experience first thing in the morning. Running and finding out that you're pretty early wasn't a good feeling too. The only good thing Kurai had on his mind was that he got transferred into another section. Kurai sighed, running a hand through his golden hair as the principal drawled on. After the much more boring stuff such as reminders and such he finally found himself able to stand and walk.

Few minutes of walking got Kurai into his classroom, him falling into his assigned seat tiredly. He recognized a few faces, none that belonged to any of his friends- If he had any. He was a social guy, but friendships with him didn't last too long. Plus he was "too crazy" to be left with a bunch of people. The door opening alerted him though, as his attention shifted. Their teacher walked in, and Kurai gulped. It was someone he knew very well from his time in the lab.

Sporting orange hair and a lazily tied side ponytail, she looked over them all. Kurai and her eyes locked for a moment before she turned away from him.

"Right, right. Remember me, old students? Yeah, you've probably seen me. Anyway, for the new students, I'm Momoko Hatsuyuki, your adviser for this year."
After a few introductions, she spoke again.
"Hey, I need your attention for a second, we've got someone coming in from the other section-- Hey. Hey..."
Kurai looked on as the others chatted away before his teacher got irritated.
"Hey, you all! Shut up! We have a new classmate. Name's....Jose McDonald?"
A book hit his head, and he turned to her, annoyed.
"Momoko-sensei!"
"Dammit Kanato I told you to stop fooling around. Go introduce yourself properly."
"Sheesh....Oh, hey! The name's Kurai Kanato, age 16! Great to meet ya all!"
Kurai put on his signature grin, aimed at everyone in the room.

A trip 60 years back. The shadows of night had started to sink in, small, glittering stars appearing in the black sky one by one. Here, most people have started to gather back in their houses and creatures of the dark were starting to crawl out of their holes.

So it was strange to see a girl of noble blood out at this time. Tsumi Fujikawa found herself wandering quietly, not sure where to go. As always, that strange man she had met back then was nowhere to be found, but instead of going straight back home, to her garden to calm herself down with a cup of tea, she found herself just walking around.

Grr....

Before she could get lost in her thoughts again, Tsumi heard a growl. Immediately alerted she turned her head, seeing the striking, fearsome eyes of what could only have been a wolf. Her blue eyes widened as she started to back away slowly.

"I knew I shouldn't have wandered out so late...."
