The morning sun lights peirce through the small opening, waking up Junko in the process as the sunlight was fated to reach her face first.
Sitting up from her tatami, stretching her upper body, while yawning at the same time. Retrieving her towel and some essentials, she makes her way to the bathroom.
Showering, teeth brushing, make-up applying. When all is set and done, she returns to her room, putting on her school uniform.
Walking through the corridor with her school bag, she was greeted by every, single, members of the infamous White Dragon, also known as Shiryuu. The lot of them dropped their morning routines, activities, just to bow down to Junko who's walking through.
"Good morning!!!"
Their morning greetings towards her usually echoed across the neighborhood. Today is no different.
"Good morning. You guys can continue."
"Yes!!"
'Yes. I'm the daughter of a Yakuza leader. But I don't like the Yakuza lifestyles one bit. Children can't complain about who's family he or she's born to. There is the ups and downs such as getting into conflict with other group from different area, but having connections across the prefecture isn't bad.'
That's why she's been very discreet about her origin. Not her school, teachers, students and friends know who she is aside from a rich girl. She's been living this life ever since she's born.
"Good morning Missy. Your breakfast has been prepared by the Boss." Arriving at the main area, she was greeted by Sato, the trusted member of the group.
"Thank you. Where's father anyway? It's unusually rare for him to not be here in the morning." She was about to bite into the omelette rice that's prepared for her but stopped at the last moment. Looking at Sato with concerning eyes.
"Did he went to negotiate with that Taka again?"
Takajima Kei, the leader of The Black Snake group, known as Kuro Hebi, has some of its members got involved within the Shiryuu's territory, which resulted in a not so small scale of dispute between the two group in which, Junko was caught in as well.
"Please, don't worry about boss. He's away for some personal matters. But it doesn't involved Hebi or any others. I hope you enjoy your meal." With that reassurance, Sato left Junko by herself to finish her breakfast.
"Personal matter huh. Maybe you should worry about your personal health instead." Junko returns her focus to the meal on the table, finishing it and made her way to the back door. Yes, the back door. Sato and some others are already there, waiting for her.
"Missy. I wish you we'll on your trip. Be safe." Sato bow his head lightly as Junko walked through.
"Be safe!!!" The rest follow, bowing their head, even further than Sato.
"I'm going. Tell father to rest when he got home." Junko close the door and be on her way. The back door of the place lead to the city, but with trees around. Not wanting the neighbors or public to find out that she's connected to the Shiryuu group. No one dares to approach anywhere near the place after all.
On her way to the school, she's been feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen. Called it the sixth sense, but Junko always has a thing for bad omen. Like that time when she lost her mother, or when her father got into the hospital after food poisoning.
"Junko!" The voice called out from the distance snapped her back to reality. It was Nene, her best friend, already waiting for her in front of the school gate.
Kageura Nene, almost the same height as Junko, wearing her pink short hair, is the dream of many boys in the school. Smart, cute, properly developed, a well rounded girl in the eyes of the world.
"Good morning Nene." Junko joined her as they both walked inside the school.
"How's your sleep? Any good dreams to share?" Nene, who always believe in superstition, enjoyed sharing dreams and nightmares to decide them. It's a wonder how she and Junko can become close friends.
"No dreams. But I did felt like something heavy is going to fall down from the sky." Junko can't shake this feeling that's been bugging her for the past minutes.
"Maybe the new transfer student will join our class later."
"Transfer student? What kind of idiot would change school at time like this? It's one month away from summer." Junko is surprised to say the least.
"Maybe he's desperate? Word is, when he first arrived for the interview, he's looking grim. Like, a reclusive kind of person. I don't get the chance to look but the rumors are, he's affiliated with Yakuza." The word Yakuza does piqeud Junko's interest.
'Yakuza huh? I could relate if that's true.' The two continued their conversations all the way till they reached class.
"Ah. Good morning Junko-chan. Nene." First thing they see is Minami Akaboshi, Nene's childhood friend.
Akaboshi is a physically gifted student, playing for the school's football team as the captain and striker. His body is the elite type, possibly the influence of his athlete family background. With his dark grey spiky hair, and just like his childhood friend, is the dream of many girls in and outside the school.
"Morning." Junko greeted him casually.
"Yo." Nene just raised her hand at him.
Both the girl went to their seat respectively, with Aka, (short for Akaboshi) followed them.
"Jiro told me about the rumored student that's about to be transfer here. Tha-"
"He's connected to the Yakuza and possibly a murderer right? We heard about it." Nene just cuts him off, nonchalantly.
"As expected from the gossip princess my Nene-chan. Your networks are to be reckoned with." Akaboshi gave her two thumbs up, seemingly mocking her.
Without warning, Nene grabbed a ruler from her bad and begin her assaults on the boy. They have been like this since they're kids. It's a wonder why the two didn't start dating each other yet.
Students begin to fill the classroom until eventually, the homeroom teacher arrives.
"Take a seat everyone. Today, we have a new student joining us. Come in." On the teacher's order, the new student walked in. The whole class, including Junko just started at him in pitch silent.
The boy, with some eye bag, short buzz cut hair, seems like he just got out from rehabilitation.
"Why don't you introduce yourself."
"Kurono Shun. That's my name." He said in a low, deep voice.
'Huh. He's that kind of person.' The whole class thought in harmony.
His appearance makes him look like the reclusive, introvert kind, not in a good way. Shun scanned around the place, until his eyes land upon Junko. No words coming out from him, just staring which gives Junko the creep.
The whole class took notice, as they turned to look at Junko, who's confused herself.
"Huh?"
