PROLOGUE
~Flashback~
A young white hair girl with pale skin sat at the alley as the child body full of cuts and bruises. The rain pours on her but she didn't seem to care or take a shelter. The girl dark red eyes with bags under them watch her hands in silent.
Suddenly a pair of shoes came into her vision and rain stop falling onto the child head. She raise her head meeting a pair of red eyes but unlike hers, this eyes full of determination.
The boy standing in front of her hold an umbrella above her, blocking the rain from hitting her. The boy narrow his eyes as if he trying to read her but she just look at him silent. People usually tried to talk with her and when she didn't replied, they just leave her like everyone in her life.
"What are you doing here?" The boy ask but only meet with silent.
"It raining heavily. You could get sick." He continue but the girl just stay in silent.
The boy just watch as the girl look at him in the eyes but didn't answer his questions. He notice the cuts and bruises on her body. Her sunken cheeks and her skinny body show that she didn't getting enough foods. He also notice the oversize plain shirt that covering her whole body full of dirt making it almost changing colour.
"Can you speak?" The boy ask again but also meeting with silent.
The alley became quite, only rain pouring down and people running for shelter can be hear. Both child hold the gaze against each other but didn't say anything. The boy then turn and walk out of the alley leaving the girl to be pour with rains once again. The girl just watch as the boy disappear at the corner and look back at the opposite wall and sigh.
'Finally.' She thought in relief. She already used with people leaving her behind or didn't even care about her well-being. 'They're all same.' But her thought was disturbed when she hears footsteps and glance at the entrance of the alley. The boy from earlier came back but this time with white plastic bag with unknown contain.
He stop in front of her and shove the plastic bag toward her. The girl was left dumbfound at the gesture as she look back and forth between the boy and the bag. When she realize that the boy didn't seem to backing away, she took the plastic bag and peek inside of it. Her mouth water when she saw it full of sweets including a bar of chocolate that she recognize when she found it inside a trash can. She manage to have a taste of it from the aluminium wrapper.
The girl look back at the boy with wide eyes but he didn't seem to faze. He keep stoic expression as he look at her.
For the first time in her life someone manage to look at her not in pity or in disgust, but as a normal child.
"Let's go." The boy order and walk toward the entrance leaving the girl to watch him in awe.
She then realize what he just said and follow him from behind. She walk in the rain while following the boy who sheltering himself with his umbrella. The boy glance behind him and saw the girl following him with her dark red eyes watch him in awe. He sigh and offer her his hand shocking the girl much more as she look back at her dirty hand and the boy's clean hand.
For the first time in her life she was able to feel the warming touch from someone else. All this time people glance at her in disgust and some beat her whenever she ask for some food. Her hand fit in his as he pull her near him so that she could get a shelter under the umbrella. They silently walk until they reach a black limousine. The driver seem confuse at the sight of her but didn't say anything as he open the door for them while holding his own umbrella.
The girl glance at the boy and he nod at her signing her to get in which she obeyed. She never rode a car needless more a limousine making her look everywhere in awe. The boy follow and silently sat beside her while passing the wet umbrella to the driver. Her body tremble as she was basically drenched until a towel is thrown to her. She hold the fluffy towel in her hand and look at the boy who sat with his hand fold on his chest watching her every move. She draped the towel over her body as it lessen the coldness and goes to open the chocolate bar wrapper.
It was hard for her to open it but she manage to at last even when she basically making a mess out of it. She throw a piece of chocolate in her mouth and her eyes goes wide as it melt in her mouth.
"What your name?" The boy ask as he watch the girl shove as much sweets as she can into her mouth.
The girl stop eating and look at the boy in the eyes. She then shake her head. "Don't habe wone." She spoke with mouth full of sweets.
"Didn't your parent gave you one?" He bluntly ask.
She swallow the sweet and look in thought for a moment. "Never know them actually and even if I've. The only things that they gave me is this." At her last word she show him her hands full of bruises and few large cuts that seem to be infected as it didn't disinfect making it turn purple almost black.
The boy frown but the girl didn't faze at her condition as she just smile as if she didn't feel the pain. "Fine then. From now on your name would be Juuzou, Ayaka Juuzou."
"Why that?" She tilt her head.
"Juzzou if read in kanji mean thirteen. Today is June 13 and thirteen is also consider as unlucky number but at the same time transition into a new state, psychological transformation, and deep change. Which mean I will help you change your fate for better from now on. You just have to follow me, that all."
The girl look at him in awe then smile. "Ehh, I never knew that. Well I never knew anything about kanji anyway. Ayaka Juuzzou." She repeat to herself and smile. "I like the sound of it." She then look in realization. "How about you? What your name?"
The boy smirk. "Kidou Yuuto." He simply state.
Juuzou smile became wider almost like Cheshire cat. "Kidou Yuuto huh? Then it would be Yuuto then." She point her finger at the last statement making Kidou sweat drop.
"Whatever. But so that you know, Ayaka is much suitable for girl not boy."
Juzzou blinks few times with smile plaster on his face. "But I'm a girl." She simply state.
Kidou head turn quickly toward her which almost gave him whiplash. "You're a girl?" His eyebrow twitch as he didn't realize that she a girl.
The girl nod as she took his hand and put it between her legs, proving her words. Kidou face turn bright red as he retreat his hand at her forwardness but she simply laugh.
"What are you doing?!" He scold.
"Proving that I'm a girl." Juuzou said between laugh.
The driver watch their interaction from the mirror and smile as he rarely see this side of Kidou. The car was hectic with red face Kidou scolding the girl who laughing at him.
A/N: I decided not to gave my oc the original name because I think it suit her much more. I also decided to choose the character who seem like a boy but actually a girl. Juuzou fit the character that I want since this book is quite different from few of my other book and it also a new genre for me. So please be patient with me. For those who ask, Ayaka is kanji for color and flower. Along the line mean colorful flower and it also mean killing.
