In a small mansion, a seven year old green and red haired boy ran inside a office to his father with a rice ball in his hands. In the doorway was a girl around twelve years old, with long flowing hair starting as a light brown but turning into a brilliant gold as it neared the tips with a single lock of ephemeral green hair standing off horizontally. Her eyes were a light shade of red, lighter than rubies but darker than pink. She sneak a look from the creek with a worried look, the boy was very happy because their father had returned home safely from work. The boy shows the rice ball in front of their father with a happy smile plastered on his face.

"Look Papa! I made a rice ball for you." The boy said.

Suddenly, his father pushed roughly away the rice ball using his right hand, in an instant the rice ball scattered on the floor. A surprised expression plastered on the boy's face as the girl becomes really worried. Before the boy could say anything, his father kicks him in the stomach hard. The boy cried in pain and feel to the floor, however their father didn't stop. He continued to kick the boy's body rapidly while the boy begged his father to stop with tears in his pair of crimson eyes. The girl gasped and held her hands over her mouth scared at the scene.

"YOKO'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE DEAD, NOT MY WIFE!" He yelled in fury.

"Stop..." The girl begged.

"I-I'm sor-sorry, Papa... I'm so-sorry... please s-stop... it hu-hurts..." The boy whimpered in pain and begging his father to stop.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THIS IS YOUR DAMN FAULT!" He yelled as still kicked the small boy's body.

"I'm so-sorry...please...it hu-hurts pa-papa." The boy whimpered.

"Stop it." The girl begged angry.

"YOU SHOULDN'T BE BORN IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU FILTHY TRASH!" His father suddenly gripped the small boy's hair and pulled roughly in to the air.

"Papa! It h-hurts!" The boy screamed in pain. In that moment, his father threw him into a wall. When the boy fell to the floor, he weakly spluttered out blood from his mouth. The girl ran in and stood protectively in front of the boy.

"Stop it, Father! Hurting Yuya won't bring Mother back!" The girl exclaimed angry. "I won't forget what you did to him! NEVER! I hate you!" The girl picked the boy up, who was shivering in fear and tears rapidly fell from his crimson eyes.

The girl ran away and their father didn't say a word when they left. The girl walked into a bedroom and carefully placed the boy on the bed before going into the bathroom to fix a small wet towel, she came back to clean the boy's scratches and blood from his face and body parts.

"Milla, *sniff* I'm scared." The boy cried as he slowly hugged himself despite the pain. Milla hugged him carefully to try calm him down.

"Sssch, everything is going to be okay." Milla said calmly as the boy cried sadly.

"I ju-just want his lo-love..." He cried. "Where a-are you, M-mommy..."

"Don't worry, Yuya..." A woman's voice said. "I'm here..." A beautiful woman was sitting beside them, she has long blond hair and the front bangs being golden colored. Her hair is tied in a ponytail and sticks out as spikes. She pet Yuya's hair gently with a sad smile on her face, Milla and Yuya stared at her tearfully.

"Wh-why di-didn't papa s-see you?" Yuya asked in a whisper. "You we-were standing be-behind hi-him the whole t-time."

"Yuya..." The woman ghost said sadly as Milla looked at him sad.

"N-not just that. I al-always see and he-hear scary things whe-wherever I go." Yuya cried, sounding terrified. "A-and I can sometimes see the same per-person that stan-stands in front of me, appear behi-behind the person and th-then-!" Suddenly, the mother hugged Yuya softly while her hands stroke his head as Milla stroke his back.

"Shush... It's fine, Yuya... It's gonna be alright..." She whispered. Yuya was crying silently in his mother's gentle hug. "Listen Yuya... you and Milla are too young right now to understand these things. But I know that one day... you will..."

"Mother, I-" Milla was cut off by their mother.

"I know that you've found out already." The mother said, knowing the girl far too much.

"Mo-mommy th-think so?" Yuya asked.

"Yes... mommy think that you two will understand this one day. Now, can you promise mommy something?" Their mother asked as she held her son's face and stared at the teary crimson eyes directly. The boy hiccupped sometimes but he listened together with Milla at their mother. "Can you take good care of your papa? Mommy know that papa have done something terrible to you, but mommy wants you to be together with papa. One day, papa will definitely love you as his son..."

"Is it t-true?" Yuya asked.

"Yes, mommy's sure..." She replied.

"Mother..." Milla said making the ghost look at her. "I will do what I can to protect Yuya until he's old enough to do this duty himself. Until then I'll do my best, that's my promise."

"Then I leave the duty onto you then, there not many people that can teach him this." The mother agreed. After a while, Yuya nodded his head softly and a smile appeared on his face.

"O-okay mommy, I promise." Yuya said.

"Also don't forget to smile, because the smile will always bring people happiness." The mother said and smiled gently.

"Alright, mommy." Yuya said.

"Yes, Mother." Milla said as they hugged each other with smiles on their lips.

It was late afternoon and a teen was walking his way back home from school. He has gray colored eyes and his hair is black in the back with light purple in the front and sweeps upward and to the right side of his head. He wears a punk-style outfit, with a dull green formal shirt and dark blue tie, as well as a black cape-like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. He also wears a choker and wristbands that are a matching set—black with silver studs and a belt with two deck holders on each side, a red scarf around the upper part of his right arm partially hidden by the sleeve of his cape. In his hand was a school bag.

"Yuto!" A voice called out behind him.

In an instant, the person who was known as Yuto, stopped from walking and looked behind him with one of his eyebrows raised in question as another teen came forwards him.

"What is it, Kaito?" Yuto asked and the person known as Kaito, slowly shakes his head in disbelief.

"Did you forget something?" Kaito muttered. At first, Yuto was confused, however his confusion changed into fear when he remembered.

"Shit! How could I forget about the meeting with Shun's little sister an hour ago?" Yuto panicked. "Why didn't you remind me, Kaito!?"

"I met you just a minute ago, Yuto." Kaito replied shortly.

"I'm dead..." Yuto murmured quietly while he continued walking home while Kaito walked beside him.

"Seriously, Yuto. You're an excellent student because you got high marks on your exams and you're polite to our teachers. Besides, you also have an amazing talent as a basketball player because you and your team will bring our school to the nationals. But if you have a meetings or anything that doesn't involve basketball or school, you always forget about it." Kaito said.

"Yeah, I know..." Yuto mumbled sadly.

"I think you should cha-"

"Look out!" Someone yelled at them.

When they heard the warning, they quickly turn around and their eyes widen as a wheelbarrow full of gardener things was heading down from the hill in high speed straight forwards them. However before they could do anything the wheelbarrow hit them directly and because of the hard impact, Yuto and Kaito fell to the ground a few meters away.

"Ouch, that really hurt!" Yuto shouted as a boy in Yuto's age came running to them.

He have a pair of crimson eyes, and dual-colored green and crimson hair of average length sticking out in downwards pointing spikes all around his head, with the exception of one short upwards pointing spike of green hair. He wears a pendant on a simple string around his neck, and a buckled choker, and a pair of golden goggles with orange lenses on his forehead, with a blue star obscuring the right lens. He wears a simple orange t-shirt with a thick, silver-buckled brown belt over it, green pants with what appear to be 'Deck pockets' on each leg, and magenta shoes, as well as crimson wristbands. He also wears his gold and red lined white school jacket over his shoulders like a cape.

"I'm so sorry! I accidentally let go of the wheelbarrow when I was on that hill. I shouldn't-" The boy was cut off by Yuto.

"Just shut up!" He yelled. Instantly, the red-green haired boy was silenced without any words in his mouth. His crimson eyes gazed towards Kaito and Yuto with guilt.

"What's wrong with you, Yuto?! Forgive him, he's always hot tempered like this." Kaito apologized.

"For your information, I'm not always hot tempered, Kaito! I'm just angry with this fake!" Yuto shouted while pointing at the boy.

"Why did you call him fake, Yuto?" Kaito asked with an eyebrow up.

"You don't know?! This is Sakaki Yuya, a student from Enright School. Almost everyone in our school know about him because sometimes he and his older sister from Tales of Academy come to our school so they can see our principal or in other words their father." Yuto explained.

Unknown to them, the boy's eyes sharpened when he heard Yuto mentioning his sister and father but his eyes soften seconds later. Tales of Academy is a boarding school for people with incredible gifts and fantasy, they have a small town for themselves just by the school building. His sister left 5 years ago to study there because she couldn't stay with their father for much longer, but came home from time to time to take care of him.

"Every person that knows adores him because he always smiles and entertain people with his cheerfulness. However in my sight, his smiles and cheerful attitudes are all fake! He lies to everyone with his innocent sm-" Yuto was cut off by Kaito.

"Stop it, Yuto! I don't want to hear it anymore. About the wheelbarrow, we forgive while about Yuto's yelling, I'm so sorry again for his behalf." Kaito apologized and bowed.

"No, it's okay." The boy said and smiles softly.

An angry tick mark appeared on Yuto's head. He silenced himself and quickly walked away, leaving Kaito behind. Kaito shocked his head and followed after his friend. After Yuto and Kaito have gone out of sight, the smile on Yuya's face disappeared and his eyes turned sharply immediately.

"Wow, this is the first time that someone knows about my fake personality." He muttered with a frown. "I have to call Milla later." Yuya saw a small, brown notebook on the ground. He slowly picked it up and read the owner's name as smirk appeared on his face. "Asaki Yuto. I will keep this notebook because I want to remember that you're the first person beside Milla that knows about my fake personality. Besides..." Yuya looks at the direction where Yuto and Kaito went a few seconds ago and a sad expression appeared as he took out his phone.

At a big school building, the students of all ages was walking home to the dormitories after a long day of school and activities. There's a teenage girl that sticks out, she have long flowing hair starting as a light brown but turning into a brilliant gold as it neared the tips with a single lock of ephemeral green hair standing off horizontally as the long hair was tied into a high ponytail. Her eyes were a light shade of red, lighter than rubies but darker than pink. She wears a school uniform (A/N: Everyone is wearing their school DLC.) and on her shoulders was a school bag and a cylinder bag. The girl was walking together with other people but didn't pay attention to them.

"Milla!" The girl, Milla, turned around to see two girls in different ages come running to her.

"Hi, Leia, Elize." Milla greeted the girls and they began to walk together.

"Have you gotten any news from your brother?" Leia asked curious.

"You ask that every time." Milla said trying to hold her laughter.

"I ask because he's cute, at least from the photos you showed us." Leia said as the other two giggled at their friend.

"I hope he come and visit our school sometime." Elize said as they came to a café.

"I hope so too, but he will never because of Father." Milla explained. "After all these years, he may appear fine on the outside but inside he still suffer from what happened all these years ago." Just then, a ringtone was heard and Milla took out her phone to see the screen of an incoming call from Yuya.

"Speak of the devil." Leia said and Milla rolled her eyes before answering.

"Hello, Milla here." The red-pinkish eyed girl answered as they sit down by an outside café table.

"Hey sis." Yuya greeted on the other side.

"Hey, it been some time since you've been talking to me." Milla said as a waiter came to them and place ice teas on the table.

"There's something I got to tell you." Yuya said worried.

"What's wrong, Yuya?" Milla asked worried.

"I met a boy not too long ago and at 9.00 in the morning tomorrow, he will die." Yuya explained and Milla was shocked.

"If you tell me the location, I can tell Ludger to come and investigate." Milla said as she searched her bag for a notebook and a pen. "What's the person's name?"

"Asaki Yuto." Yuya answered and Milla wrote it down together with the adress.

"Okay, I got it down. He'll probably be there by the time it happens." Milla said. "I'll come home late tomorrow, so don't be surprised to see me waking you up if your asleep."

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Yuya said and ended the call.

"Did something happen?" Elize asked.

"It's nothing, just an accident that's going to happen tomorrow which is why I'm going to call Ludger later." Milla said as she looked up to the sky, seeing something others couldn't.
