Prologue

Kazuma was staring out the window from his seat at the back of the class as he often does with his music in his ears drowning out the world outside. He was staring at a butterfly that lands on the windowsill every so often. Inside his classrom the students were chatting with one another happily, but he wasnt much of a talkative PERSON. Out of the corner of his vision he noticed the other students packing up their bags, so he decided to do the same. When he bent over to pick up his bag from underneath his chair one of his earbuds fell out and he heard the teacher speaking
"-doesn't show up gets an F!" She said in a cheerful voice. He starts searching teh board to see if anything on there could explain what she is talking about, but it had just recently been erased. So he decided to ask his classmate instead
"Hey Tomoki." Tomoki is one of the few PEOPLE that Kazuma can call his friend he was short with blond hair and green eyes
"Yah man?" his voice was a little higher than average "Need something?" Kazuma leans in a bit closer so his teacher wont hear him
"I wasn't paying attention," he explains with a puzzled look on his face, "what are we showing up to?" Tomoki gives him a wide smirk and teases
"Thinking about Kurumi again!?" Kurumi had been Kazuma's childhood friend since kindergarden.
"As if man!" he flicks Tomoki upside the head, "But seriously, I have no idea where we are supposed to go"
"Oh right, the teacher is taking us to Kyoto tomorrow, were supposed to meet up by the track." It's right about then that the school bell rang and the class errupted into chaos, those with clubs were out the door at mach speed, everyone else was just trying to not get trampled. Since they were on the first floor Kazuma decided to just go out the WINDOW
"Later Tomoki!" He gave is friend a half-hearted wave and then started off towards the front of the school, it was a long walk home and he had to use the rest-room.
As he was washing his hands he took a look in the mirror, Kazuma is slightly taller than average with dirty blond hair and crystal blue eyes. Upon closer inspection he noticed that there was something carved on the wall behind him "H T A E D" death. As part of the student COUNSEL it is his job to keep the campus clean.
"Why couldn't they have just used sharpie like a normal person?" he groaned as he pulls out his cell phone and dials the custodian. After four rings the other end picks up
"Hello?" his voice was raspy and worn out. It must be the old night janator. I can't make the old man fix a wall he thought to himself.
"Oh sorry, wrong number!" he swiftly hit the end button and put away his cell phone and began walking out of the bathroom, but he didnt reach to door before his cellphone rang agin. He picked up on the third tine "Hello?"
"Hello sir, is this Kazuma Atsushi?" his voice sounded sad and very worn down
"Yes sir it is, may I ask who is calling?" his response was swift, making his next words all the more believable
"I'm detective Tachibana. I'm afraid theres been a murder.... Your parents are dead." The words cut into him like blades of ice, his whole body went numb, the phone dropped from his hand. And he couldn't help but look at the words carved into wall. After gathering his phone he ran as fast as he could, bringing himself to exahstion.
When he finally arived at his home the entire building was a smoldering pile of rubble. A man he assumed was detective Tachibana approached him and began speaking, but none of the words were reaching them, all he could do was stare at the building and the body bags. There were two of them, one for his father and one for his mother....
"Wait, where's my sister!?" he looked back and forth, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"You have a sister?" the man looked at him as if he had gone mad but instead of arguing he pull out his wallet and grabbed the photo of his familly on it was a picture of his younger sister, her hair a firey red tied in twintails with white ribbons her eyes a reddish brown to match her hair
"That's my sister, is she okay?!" the detective looked at him and just shook his head
"These are the only two we found, I'm sorry." the detective grabbed ahold of his shoulder and said, "But dont worry, we have a place for you to live. From now on you will be living at Blue Cross Orphanage!"
