Collision

*~Chapter 1: The beginning~*

At Sunrise High in Miracle Town trouble was amiss. As the culprit reached the principal's office, he saw his older sister walking along side of him. The principal's face was bright red as the two siblings approached. "Did something happen, sir?" His sister asked.

"Yes, your brother almost murdered someone!" The principal answered, clenching his hands into fists.

"Relax pops, it was just a threat,” the boy said, a smirk slipping onto his face.

 "Y-Y-YOU HAD A KNIFE AT HIS THROAT!" The principal stuttered, growing redder by the second. "I have had it with your ways young man!"

"So what's going to happen to him?" His sister asked.

  "I have no choice except...EXPULSION! He is no longer attending Sunrise High!"

 
As the two left the school, his sister was speechless. Koru Riga, what am I to do with you? You've been kicked out of five different schools and I have no money for boot camp, she thought, picturing him in the striped prison clothes. I don't want you to end up that way.

Koru looked at her and finally said, "What are you staring at?” Without waiting for a response, he said, “I'm going outside. Be back whenever." That ticked her off, but before she had time to say anything, he was gone.

Koru was relieved to get out of the house. On his way he ran into his friend Toro Aoru.

"Hey Riga, heard what happened. Big time, huh?"

  "Yeah, got expelled again," Koru said nonchalantly.

"Do you have the money yet?"

"Not yet Aoru, just give it time."

"Time is running out Riga. You know about the consequence. Can't you just sell that crest of yours?"

Koru looked at his crest that his father left him "Are you crazy? You know how much this means to me!"

Aoru rolled his eyes and thought, I can't believe how long he's held on to that thing...oh well.

“Koru! WHERE ARE YOU!” Ana’s voice could barely be heard from her position a mile away.

 "It's Anazilla on the loose. You better get going, Riga. Just remember that time is running out.” With that, he turned on his heal and sauntered back the way he came from. As he left, Ana saw her brother and dragged him back home.

"Stupid, Stupid, STUPID! Why do you do the things you do? You know how hard it is with him gone! At least try to control your temper! Why do you always have to go for the throat?!" Koru looked past her, a bored expression on his face. "I'm trying hard to make life better. I'm really trying. Can't you at least try to handle yourself like you care? You do care, don’t you? You care about me, right Koru?"

Koru shot out of his seat, stormed up to his room and slammed the door hard enough to shake the whole house.

Ana chased after him and pounded on the door. Tears streamed down her face in torrents. "KORU! Are you even listening to me? What happened to you?"

Koru was lying on his bed, staring at his crest, committing every detail to memory. "I do care," he said to himself. "I can't bear the thought of losing you."

 Shing!

An unusual sound came from his window. Koru got up from his bed and looked out the window. Small figures were moving across the ally. "What the hell is that?"

His crest started to glow bright yellow and floated to the direction it wanted to go. Koru’s legs began to move as if they had a mind of their own. What the hell is going on? I can't stop moving! Is some sort of weird fantasy or something?

Ana saw his expression as he was walking out of the house. "Koru, where are you headed?"  

"I'll be back in a little bit. I just need some air," he said, unsure if he was lying or not. Ana stared intently at the glowing crest as it was leading him out of the house; she assumed her mind was playing tricks on. It’s an inanimate object. It can’t fly. Ana drifted back into a deep, dreamless sleep.
