Prologue: Light Out. The Dawn Of Seventeen Years Old Shinji Kouki's Life.
* BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-*
Through the sheets covering his body, a boy popped his hand up and shut the alarm bothering his ears, slowly he raised his head to get blinded by the sun penetrating his curtains.
"Ah, dammit! I paid 100 yen for those things and don't even cover the damn light!"
Grumbling, he pulled himself up from his bed, this boy was Shinji Kouki, his well-built muscular body covered by a black V neck t-shirt and white shorts, he was in really good shape for his seventeen years of age, he enjoyed training when he had the time, it was his favorite hobby after all. .
. well, apart from eating.
Walking out of his bedroom was his bath, the teenager lived alone in a small apartment. The place is small, yet comfortable to be inside, the living room and kitchen are separated only by the floor mat changing to a wooden one, the only doors were the ones that separated his room and the bathroom from anything else.
Turning the bathroom lights on, Shinji looked at himself in the mirror, his black hair was a mess, as his black eyes scanned his face and surroundings. A smile came to draw on his face.
"Nothing a good shower can't solve. " Came his resolve as he slowly went to take a shower.
Removing his clothes and picking a towel that was stored in a shelf, Shinji turned on the shower and sank in the warm water as it relaxed his body. Getting out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and another drying his head, he went to his room and changed to his school uniform.
The raven haired teen wore a black jacket open and had a white dress shirt with the top two buttons undone, he hated the feeling of being strangled by his clothes.
"Ok, I'm leaving now. " Shinji said to no one in particular as he opened his front door and left his home.
The boy was close to school, so he could sleep a little more before leaving.
"Good morning Shinji. "
A voice behind him said as a woman stood by his side.
"Oh, good morning Momo. "
A young girl with silk-like white hair appeared next to him, she had blue-green eyes and wore the Kuoh Academy Girls' uniform, the most noticeable part of her was her bust which bounced each time she made a movement. She was Momo Hanakai, a second year student in Kuoh Academy, she became Shinji's friend in middle school as they started to walk together from school to their houses since they lived close to each other.
"So, early as always huh? Looks like you started to like going to school. " Said Momo as she started to walk by his side, she was grabbing her bag with her two hands in front of her.
"Ahh, cut me some slack will you? it's because you kept nagging me the whole first year. " Said Shinji as he started to grumble while he held his bag behind his back with his right hand.
To be honest, he hated waking up early but Momo was always ringing his doorbell when she noticed he was going late to school, so he gave up and started to use five alarm clocks to wake up early.
"Well, as part of the Student Council, it is my job to keep you from being late every day. Seriously Shinji, you almost got suspended because of it!" Momo scolded him again, seriously, this girl started to pick nagging him a habit!
"Hey, it's not my fault my bed is warm, worst of all, I paid for a curtain that doesn't even cover the damn sunlight!" Shinji shouted. "The clerk stole me! He said they were the best on the market!"
"It's not his fault you buy everything they say to you. " Momo told him as he grumbled under his breath, which caused the second year girl to giggle in response.
As they resumed their peaceful walk to school, they were surprised by two police cars stationed in front of a house, two policemen were stopping everyone that wanted to catch a glimpse of what happened, some paramedics grabbed big bags from an ambulance stationed in front
"So. .
. this makes it the third time in a month.
" Said Momo as she caught the attention of the black hair kid and turned a corner to take a shortcut to their school. "These attacks are getting more and more close to our neighborhood.
"Yeah, I heard it tends to happen at night though, it happens fast also, one witness said he couldn't even see the guy. " Said Shinji as he became more serious "Just what kind of sick man does this?"
"No idea. " Said Momo as she sighed, she looked at her friend with a worried expression.
"Take care, Shinji. I mean, you do tend to go to work and return late at night.
" The white haired girl said as her gaze darkened. "It worries me what could happen to you if you get caught in the middle somehow.
"Hey, I should be the one getting worried. " Said Shinji as he caught her attention.
"You are leaving that Student Council of yours at night lately. Seriously Momo, stop overworking yourself like that, it makes me worry about what can happen to you.
As Shinji looked to the side, he was unaware of the look Momo gave him, but it soon disappeared as they arrived at Kuoh Academy. "Well, looks like we are here early again.
" Said the white-hair girl as the boy next to her was making a 'boohoo' sound.
Kuoh Academy is a big three story building, in contrast to the craft Japanese houses are made of, the school is more european oriented with gothic-styles architecture with big arch-like windows covering the most part of the building and the height each corridor has. Kuoh Academy was an all-girls private school but got co-ed two years before Shinji got transferred to it having passed the entrance exam…
