I slowly opened my eyes to see the moon. The silence around me wasn't annoying and messing with my head like before. There was also wind and the sound of waves. This startled me since there wasn't such sounds in my room.

I sat up and looked around. Ignoring tha pain of my body and the stench of rotting meat. I saw trees. Real trees!! This made me stand up and ran towards the trees. I touched the trunk and felt the weird and rough texture.

I was amazed by the tall tree before me. Howewer I know I should be focusing on the smell of rotting meat so I turned back and I saw a pile of lifeless bodies of my fellow children. I didn't anything like sadness nor remorse since most of them didn't bother communicating with me and some even looked down on me. However this made me realize something.

'I must be outside of the facility because they thought I was dead. This is great!! I'm out of the White Room!! But Nii-san is still inside. I can't let myself get seen or else I'll be taken back inside but...hmm...I'll just try to find a way for him to escape but how do I even survive here?'

I thought as I began walking aimlessly. After a few minutes, I heard the sounds of waves gets louder and soon I  got there and saw what they said as an ocean. It was beautiful and refreshing. This made me giddy and the thought of spending this beautiful moments with Kiyotaka flooded my mind making me excited for the time we will be together.

I giggled at the thought before looking around and ran around the land, trying to figure out if the white room is in the middle of the ocean or just beside it, while also relishing the feeling of the soil and sand beneath my feet.

After 3 hours of running around while avoiding the cameras hidden. I finally know the layout and memorized it. The facility is just beside the ocean and it is connected to a larger land, which is where I am right now. I planned to try and find a city, a village or just any civilization.

I also ate some wild edible plants and fruits on the way since I've been in what I think was a death like coma. I don't have an explanation yet since I don't even know what happened to me before that. I don't even know what we're they injecting me or what experiment am I in.

After what seems like a month, I was still aimlessly walking in the forest. My white uniform is now covered in dirt and mud, including the rest of my body because it rained for 3 days. Thankfully I got a healthy immune system to avoid getting sick immediately.

To be honest, I'm starting to lose hope. I don't see any signs of cities, towns or even a village but I do know I am very far from the facility and I have a very low chance to be caught back by them. However the thought of building a safe place for Kiyotaka and I kept me from giving up.

– Third POV

It has been 1 month and 27 days ever since Kiyoshi ran away from the facility. His began to get thinner from the lack of nutrition that the forest doesn't give him but he still want to keep going. Unfortunately a heavy rain occurred, and after the 3rd day of heavy rain he is now sick and feverish as he fainted in the middle of the forest, leaving him vulnerable from the predators in the forest.

A shadow then loomed over his flushed and trembling figure, before his small figure got picked up by arms and soon a jacket was draped over him to keep him warm. A male with blonde hair and green eyes looked at the child in his arms with sadness and pity.

"Alex!! Why the hell did you ran away like that? Hey are you even listening to me?" Another male came to the blonde male, this time he has silver hair and forest green eyes. He was about to turn him around when he saw what he was holding, a child to be specific.

"...did you kidnapped him?" Was what came out of the silver haired male, irking the blonde haired male, making him turn around and try to punch him for assuming that however the silverhead just dodged while looking at the blonde in disbelief.

"Shut it Caspian. Why would you even think I kidnapped him?! If anything, I would see you doing that with how much you look at little children!!" Alex accused the silverhead known as Caspian, who gave him an offended look making Alex raise a brow as if to say 'am I wrong?'.

"Hey!! Okay Yes I stare at them but it's because they look so adorable and I've been wanting to dote on a younger sibling!! You're such a brat that I lost motivation to dote on you" Caspian admitted while giving Alex a look, making him punch him again only for Caspian to dogde. He was about to yell at him again when another voice came.

"Alex. Caspian. We've been waiting for you two. Ma is about to cry because she's worried about you two" Another male said followed by four more males behind him. He has black hair tied into a ponytail and has forest green eyes. He has a cold and Intimidating aura around him. The males behind him also has a cold and indifferent aura, signaling that they don't get along with each other well.

"Oh come on. We just took a stroll. And besides that, this brat kidnapped a child–" Caspian told the older male about Alex, who was holding a child. He didn't notice how feverish the child look because he immediately saw a chance to lecture his brother. This made so Alex pissed that he cut his brother off.

"I didn't kidnapped him you idiot!! Can't u see that he's sick!! Now I am wondering why the f*ck are you older than me?!" Alex spat at his older brother, hostility laced through his gaze and venom laced his voice. Unbeknownst to them, the child in Alex's arms began to breath heavily as his fever worsens along with his headache.

"That's enough. Both of you. Can't you at least maintain you image as the Lawless Family outside our residence?!  Arthur! Carry this child back, I don't want to touch such filthy thing" The tallest black haired male said before walking back to their resort. The rest of the males followed him leaving the three males.

The unknown male then walked closer to the two pissed brothers before snatching the child from Alex's arms, not minding the dirt and mud that stuck on his lavander shirt. He then called out to the two before walking back to their resort.

This is how Kiyoshi met his new loving family. The famous Lawless Family.

"Kiyoshi-sama, is it really alright for you to go alone? Your brothers might come after my head!" A man in his early 30's panicked at the thought of his master's brothers chasing after his family and 8th generations. A shorter and younger male put his hand under his chin and thought about the reactions of his brothers and decided to obey and spare the older man from panic.

"Okay Hiro-san. Prepare the cheapest car we have. I plan to lay low since want to see how shocked would they be after they underestimated me!! Imagine their personas cracking, their inner self coming out, their devestated faces and yells of despa–" The younger male's speech was cut off when a beep, followed by a familiar voice, come from his watch.

"Kiyo-chan!! Are you in school yet?! I forgot to tell you that we all put a surprise in your bag that you can sneak inside!! And remember what we all taught you, okay?" A male with shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes, said with a soft expressing and caring glint in his eyes.

The younger male nodded with a small smile. He was excited to look through it during the ride to school. They both talked a bit more, all of his elder brothers pushed each other's to fit in the video hologram on his watch. Soon he was called by his driver and he bid farewell to them before following the driver.

As he sat inside the car, the ride started and so is his gifts unwrapping. All gifts was thought out and surprising, but he felt warm at the thought of them either looking for it so hard or making it.

Father - A pair of earings connected to their Personal AI Butler.

Mother - 3 pairs of homemade kitty socks.

Eldest Brother - A high tech digital notebook, accessorized with a stylus and solar charger.

2nd Eldest Brother - A gym mat and workout clothes.

3rd Eldest Brother - A 1,203 page book about Business Tricks, Advices and Ways

4th Eldest Brother - A pair of holographic keyboard gloves.

5th Eldest Brother - Protection Kit (Pepper Spray, Tazer Ring, Pocket Knife, Swish Knife)

6th Eldest Brother - A 500+ page martial arts book

7th Eldest Brother - Medical Book

Kiyoshi smiled at their gifts. He can see how protective and caring they are of him. The thought made him remember his nii-san. A person he swore to find and live with forever. The very reason he went with this specific highschool.

He can mostly read their mind however without the other beside him, made his thoughts unsure but his intuition told him that what he thought of is true so he decided to follow him to the school. He then snapped out of it when his driver announced their arrival.

He then went out and as soon as he did, his driver and butler both grabbed his luggages and insisted for them to take them inside his designated dorm. He nodded and told them that he'll be memorizing the layout of the school.

While walking, he noticed how isolated it is from the outside world since he saw many entertainment areas, hangout areas, and even shopping areas. And because of the rules and secrets he read in advance from the school's system files and records, he is aware of everything and is prepared.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he bumped into a taller male, who has dark short hair, slightly built figure, stern face, sharp and calculating gaze under his glasses. Kiyoshi decided to put on his persona.

"Oh. I'm sorry, stranger-san. I wasn't looking at where I'm going" Kiyoshi said with a shy smile, gentle voice and guilty gaze. The male in front of him stayed silent before he let out an almost quiet huff. This made Kiyoshi look at him, curiosity swirling in his hazel doe eyes.

"It's fine. Next time make sure to look so you wouldn't bump into someone and waste their time again" The male said before deciding to walk away, not interested about the student he bumped into. Kiyoshi then decided to yell a farewell at the walking figure.

"Babye stranger-san! I hope we meet again! If fate allows us!" Kiyoshi said while he waves, as soon as the male turned to the left and disappeared from his view and hearing distance, his persona dropped and his expressionless face came back.

"Well he was just as strict as what his files say" Kiyoshi muttered low enough for only himself to hear before continuing his self-tour. After about an hour, his butler and driver called him that they were going back since they finished putting his luggage towards his dorm room.

He started walking to the gymnasium where the opening ceremony will be. However as he looked back, towards the main gate, he saw two figures. One was a girl dark long hair, and slightly curvy figure and behind her was a familiar male.

His eyes then met his, and he saw how his eyes widen and his expressionless face began crumbling, showing shock. This made Kiyoshi smile slightly and immediately turned away went went inside, accidentally mixing in with the students.

Meanwhile, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was shocked to see someone so familiar yet different, walked faster as soon as he saw the figure turn away. However the figure mixed up with a large group of students and when it dispersed, he saw that the figure was gone.

He breathe in and out shakily. His heart beating faster than ever. However as soon as he calmed himself down, his expressionless face soon came back and he resumed walking towards the gymnasium. A single thought in his head.

'There's no chance of him being here. I must be hallucinating. Yeah I must be'

Inside the gymnasium, a large crowd of students lined up in their designated class. Kiyoshi stood 1st in the boys line since he got there first. Thankfully he finally wore his black mask, to hide his face, not for someone specific, but for some people he saw. He watched quietly as the ceremony commenced, like usual. However he listened deeply when the familiar stern male stood behind the podium.

"Now we'll have a few words from the student council president" A female spoke and she was followed by claps from most students, including Kiyoshi. The male then started speaking. His voice gives a sense of authority.

"I am the Student Council President, Horikita Manabu. As the representative of the upper classes, I would like to extend words of welcome to our newest students. As I believe you know, our school is highly accomplished in all aspects, and boasts a high employment and college entry rate. This is the pride of our school, accomplished through the hardwork of both our graduating students and those still attending.

We expect the same from the new students. Everything in this school is decided by merit..." The voice trailed off in Kiyoshi's head, but not completely since even if it is the same speech he had seen in his files it might contain some new information at the end.

The ceremony ended like that and now he was walking towards his classroom. Class 1-D. A class full of degenerates. However it didn't bother him the slightest that he's in the lowest class,since he intended to be so.

He sat down at the window seat, 6th row. He sat down in time for some students to come in. However he was surprised when he saw the nameplate on his front seatmate. He chuckled at the coincidence before taking out his pen and notebook.

Then the sound of someone sitting in front of him took Kiyoshi's attention. He looked up and as expected, he saw the familiar back and messy hair. He smiled under his mask and resisted the urge to hug him and kiss him.

He was snapped out of his day dreaming when he heard a deep sigh and the voice of the same girl from earlier sat beside the familiar person in front of him. He frowned at their small conversation, a hint of jealousy is evident in Kiyoshi's eyes but he decided to ignore it.

His plan now was to reveal himself to Kiyotaka before or after class but the thought of him moving on because the pain of his 'death' made his confidence crumble and his mood to drop. Kiyoshi's hand trembled underneath the desk at the thought of seeing his beloved lover, who moved on from him, began having an intiminate relationship with someone else other than him.

However he was snapped out of his depressing thoughts when a woman entered in the classroom and judging by her clothes and aura, she's a teacher. However Kiyoshi cringed at the chest area being exposed. And a random thought went to his head.

'Is Taka-nii still a pervert?'

"Ahem. Good morning new students. My name is Chiyabashira Sae and I am in charge of Class-D this year. I teach Japanese History. This school doesn't rearrange classes every year, so over the next three years, I hope I get to know all of you. Best regards. Although the entrance ceremony will be one hour from now in the gym, I will now distribute the list of special rules of this school and the matriculation guide" Sensei said and she began passing the handouts to the front seats for them to pass it to the back.

As soon as the handouts was in Kiyotaka's hands, he turned around and passed it to the student behind him and saw a familiar set of eyes. Kiyoshi, who was behind him, saw his stare and gave him a small wave. Kiyotaka's eyes narrowed at his appearance before turning to the front again, leaving Kiyoshi to pass the handouts to to his back. Meanwhile, Kiyotaka was staring distractedly on the handout.

'No. It's just someone familiar. It can't be him. He' s dead. As much as it pains me, he's dead and there's no 2nd chances in death. It's just someone with the same eyes and aura as Kiyoshi. But what if...' Kiyotaka thought to himself, unknowingly clenching his hand hard. His gritted his teeth at the memory of his beloved dying in his arms, because he was clueless and carefree that he didn't took his lessons about medical seriously.

He remembered that after his grieving, he promised himself to be serious about the lessons since it might be useful in the future and he's also serious at his escape. However when he did escape, it only brought sadness because he couldn't give Kiyoshi even a proper burial.

Kiyotaka was then snapped out of his thoughts when the teacher spoke again.

"To purchase things, you'll use points stored in the school's official computer system. At this school, you can buy anything using points. Points are alloted on the first of each month. One point is worth One yen. You have already been alloted 100,000 points for this month" Sensei said and soon voices of students rang inside the classroom. Kiyoshi however was silent when he looked at his own balance.

His eyebrows twitched in annoyance as he saw a different balance. It was supposed to be 100,000 but his balance stated that it has 200,000. He sighed as he suddenly remembered what his 3rd Elder Brother did a day before. He said he hacked into the school's computer system to give him extra 100,000 at the first day. The reason for his actions? He doesn't want his baby Kiyoshi so suffer such 'grievance and poor allowance'.

He sighed before pocketing his phone back and began waiting for the confusion and excitement from his classmates to die down. As soon as it died down, sensei spoke again.

"Are you surprise by the size of your allotment? The school measures the abilities of students. Everyone here, who passed the entrance exam, has shown some level of merit and worth. The amount of money is a reflection of your skills. However after graduation, the points will be taken back. Since it's impossible to change these points into cash, there's no point in saving them.

You can use them however you wish and if you see no use for these points, you can transfer them to someone else. However, bullying other people for points is strictly prohibited" Sensei finished speaking. However the class's surprise didn't died down.

Kiyoshi, who knew the purpose because of reading the rules in advance, just planned on how to save as much points as he can while also getting more points. He snapped out of his thoughts when Kiyotaka and the girl beside him started talking to each other, making pout under his mask.

He really wants to hug him and kiss him now but the confidence he had for the whole 4 years crumbled away. He began having thoughts of Kiyotaka getting angry and ignoring him for the rest of his life.

He snapped out of his depressing thoughts again when a male voice spoke, disrupting the noisy room. He turned to look the source and he saw a fairly tall guy with blonde hair and has an aura of an honor student.

"Starting from today, we will be in the same class for the next three years. So it would be great if all of us could introduce ourselves and become friends. We still have time until the entrance ceremony...so what do you think?" The guy said and soon voices of agreement came from many students. And soon the introduction starts.

However Kiyotaka began to get restless about how he should introduce himself. He then remembered the first time he introduced himself to Kiyoshi. The day his life changed. He remembered how awkward he was and how Kiyoshi laughed at his introductions. He stared outside the window and he began reminiscing his past with Kiyoshi.

He snapped out of it when someone tapped him on the shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was the Kiyoshi-look-a-like student. He told him that it was his turn, and that surprised him as he stood up unprepared for introduction.

"Well...um, my name is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. The, er...theres nothing particular about me, I will do my best to get along with everyone, uh, nice to meet you" Kiyotaka introduced before sitting down and his gaze went to his desk.

After a short amount of silence, they clapped for him in pity. However he heard a familiar giggle behind him, making him more suspicious at the person behind him. The student behind him then stood up and began speaking, his gentle voice reminded Kiyotaka about his beloved.

"Hello! My name is Shen Kiyoshi. I like sweets, spicy food, cute things, drawing, and many more. I don't like many things. It's nice to meet all of you!"
