Honestly, who knew things could do a 180° so quickly. Uneasy, swift and unpredicted change was something no one could get used to, change always happened subtly, or well, sometimes in extreme cases it was more abrubtly. But not on the 8th of August. A day that determined a young boys future, a day that would be known as the start of a new world for everyone. An unknown world...

Akaashi Satos P.o.v
There were only a handful of minutes before the bell would ring. The classroom was mostly silent, with the exception of The scratching of pencils on paper coming from the students who controlled the pencil like a puppet to do their bidding, there was an odd whisper here and there from students who sat next to each other, everyone anxiously waiting for the bell to chime. Though, the silence didn't last when a shout from the small group of students was heard. Chair legs scraping against the hard floor, like sharp nails on a chalkboard, it made Akashi Cringe.
"Could the clock go any faster?!" The threatening voice of one of the loudest people in the in school bounced of the walls, there was a large chance that other students who had already been dismissed heard the echo. 'Here we go again' Akashi thought with a huff, sometimes, there was always that one person to ruin the so desired peace in the classroom.
"Sanders, please sit back down and continue with your work," the female teacher, Ms.Western asked with a soft tone. Ms.Western was a gentle teacher, who was most of the students favourite since she was laid back and allowed to student to do as they wished as long as they got their work done. She wasn't the kind of teacher that dealt well with loud mouths like Sanders who couldn't sit still for even a second.
"Yo, Why Dont ya' dismiss us already, Hah?" Sanders screeched out like an angry dog. Akashi summoned the image of a pomeranian barking, but the sound only came out as a harmless yip, and the size of the dog really wasn't an issue. But Akashi knew better than to underestimate others.
"Sanders, Please sit back down and finish the rest of your work, I'll dismiss you when you have all done," Ms.Western assured, standing up and placing a hand on the desk, her hand slid against the hard oak wood with a smooth action. Yeah, there was no doubt about it, Ms.Western couldn't harm a fly.
"Dismiss us already you ol' hag, pretty much everyone's done anyways!" The angry pomeranian continued to bark out. No, it wouldn't be right to say that, Sanders continued shouting at the harmless teacher, and soon enough Akashi decided he had, had enough of Sanders Overly sized ego, which was all the young boy had to him.
"We're trying to finish our work, I suggest you sit down and continue yours too, or you'll end up staying during in lunch" Akashi sighed out, rubbing his temples in frustration. He could feel a headache brewing up inside of him and he wasn't looking forward to it.
" 'Xcuse you?! Wanna repeat that ya Lil' s**t?" The overly loud Student with an ego just about as big as his mouth snarled, It wouldn't have been fair to say 'ego as big as his head', since Sanders only seemed to have a few braincells which he must have been close to losing, and in actual fact - Sanders head size was rather average - Surprisingly anyway.
"God's you're so loud" Akashi grunted.
"Oh keep it quiet mommy's boy, We all know you've got nothing to ya, fuckface" Sanders turned to face Akashi, his sentence added fuel to a growing fire inside in Akaashi's stomach. His Fury was growing by the minute, and it would be a few more pushes before Akashi would regretfully lunge at the pomeranian. Well, regretfully or not, he wouldn't sit down and take it when someone was talking bad about his mom.
"Keep my mother out of This Sanders-"
"Or what p***y boy?" The buff male took large strides towards Akashi, who almost snapped his pencil in half due to the growing bitterness. Just one more push. Akashi was daring Sanders, he darent look at the other male, if he saw his taunting face that would be the last straw and the end of his hundred percent positive report - For his mother however - Anything would be worth it.
"Sanders, don't Push me."
"What'Cha gonna do 'Bout it eh Sato? Tickle me Lil' b***h? Or Poke me like a weaklin'?-" That was the last of how much Akashi could Resist his urges, The dirty Blonde Boy, Sanders, Had crossed Akaashi's Line. Akashi was not happy. He kicked his chair back and spun on the balls of his feet, Sending Sanders a more than capable punch aimed at his Nose, only To akashis Surprise The punch landed and the impact forced Sanders to fly back a few feet.
"Little... Fucker!" As Predicted, Sanders anger turned into Physical Strength, the boy towered over Akashi with a sour look on his face, Eyebrows straightened with a more than definite unhappy look. His fist was clenched, lifted, aimed and was sent directly forward to Akashis jaw, knocking the smaller framed boy to the hard surface of the ground.
The pomeranian grabbed at the collar of Akashis shirt and sent multiple more punches Akashi's way, who was obviously fighting back in stuggle to get away from the deadly blows, however his efforts were all but in vain. Akashi had no power over the Hot headed male who was ontop of him, pinning him down. He felt like he was fighting for his life when he saw black dots mask his vision, the scene was like that of a brutal murder, but nothing stopped Sanders, Akashi entered survival mode.
Black smoke wrapped around Sanders, who never noticed a thing, going from around his neck, then snaking around his torso and waist, to then wrap around Sanders arms and legs. And then suddenly, without warning the smoke turned into a physical image of Chains the color of a matte gray. Then finally, Sanders noticed the pressure of the cold metal around his body. Confusion and curiosity drowned his features. No one had a clue what was going on, Not even Akashi himself.
"What on earth? What'cha think ya doin' Eh Sato?!" Sanders raised another fist, Akashi whimpered out, bracing himself for the impact, he was terrified, his body frozen like ice, his body was pale and his eyes mirrored nothing but that of severe trauma. All of the pain he left behind and buried was being uplifted once again.
"I-It's not me..." The albino boy panted out, trying to convince Sanders that the cause of the unknown Phenomenon was not from Akashi himself. Akashi hadn't seen anything like it in his life, random smoke turning into solid representations of chains? It just wasn't possible, and no human could that either.
"Don't lie to me!" Sanders growled out, his own rage grew, Sanders was about to send the final blow, flying into Akaashi's Jaw, the fist flew down and Akashi closed his eyes tightly, his body forced him to clench his hands, a natural reaction that Akashi had grown used to. Yet no blow was recieved, but instead, the sickening crunch of snapping bones and pools of deep red stained the floor and clothing that belonged to akashi. There sat atop of him was a disgustingly mishaped, severely Mutilated body that belonged to Sanders, wrapped up in chains that had been the cause of Sanders definite death.
Deafening screams filled the room while Other teachers ran into into the class, But Akashi wasn't focused. His ears rang, his breath was stuck at the back of his throat, he tried to swallow but it was no use. He was confused and most definitely horrified. A dead body was somehow balancing ontop of him, he darent move. He heard muffled voices saying things that he made out to be 'Call the special help number!' 'Help the kid!' 'Move the corpse, put some gloves on first!' 'Evacuate the students!'
Akashi couldn't help but wonder, how had the chains killed Sanders? Where did they even come from? Was it some kind of inhuman Saftey mechanism he had somehow summoned? If so, then that then lead Akashi to his next question which remained unanswered, Was he human?
'Someone...'
'Please Answer my questions... What's going on? ... Help...'

No ones P.o.v
"Ma'am, we are terribly sorry, but we can't keep him here. He's a danger to all of the students. We called the special force authorities and they told us it'd be best for him and everyone else, for him to go to RavenWood Boys Academy-" Mr.Fletcher tried to explain to the raging parent, before he was rudely interrupted by her anger.
"Send him."
"Well that was easier than expected... RavenWood is an academy that only accepts supernatural beings and people with unbelievable powers that we've never encountered before. The fact that Akashi Sato used his powers to kill someone today means he has no choice. He has to be sent to Facility no matter what, the building functions like a normal college, though only the people who work there know its location."
"Send him, I don't want that freak." she spat. "Akashi is no longer my son"
"As you wish ma'am, please sign the bottom of this document and the boy will be on his way."

Akashis P.O.V
It was dark, extremely dark, there was not a single glimpse of light in sight. Akashi didn't know what was going on. He just wanted to Go home safely to his mother who would tell him everything would be alright. All of Akashi's answered ramained unanswered, even while strange people were transporting him to a room, a room that seemed to be specifically designed to keep dangerous people inside.
The boy just wanted a simple explanation. What was he? What happened? Did he kill that boy? Where did the chains appear from? And most importantly, what was going to happen to him? Dread and fear ran though Akashi's veins, he craved an explanation, his anxiety was rising, he felt it but he couldn't control it. His chest heaved up and down, begging for more air to be taken in, Akashi wanted nothing more than to draw small pictures on his hand with his fingers to help him focus on something else, but the chains on his arms which left him shackled to the wall prevented him from doing so.
"Someone..." He whispered out in a hoarse, croaky voice. It was barley audible, but that wasn't the matter of the issue. It was then when two strange looking people, one wearing a suit and looked very high class the other in a lab coat.
"So he's the one that killed the student? With chains? I haven't heard of anything like this happening for a long time." The higher classed male approached Akashi with stong, confident steps. Akashi tried to steer clear away from the man, he tried to yank his arms to break free of the chains, he tried to back further up against the freezing cold wall, but all to no avail.
'No...dont come any closer...'
"My you really are a rare one dear Akashi. No matter, we'll take good care of you" The male figure smirked, one side of his mouth tugging up. He man had bright blue eyes, they were full of wonder and excitement. While the aura of the man was rather domineering, it made you want to submit, but Akashi wasn't going to submit to a random man who he had no knowledge about.
"Sir, we have reason to believe that Sato doesn't know he killed that student. In fact, we think He never knew about his powers at all up until he was in a situation that called for extreme self defense precautions." the Lab man spoke out, Akashi knew didn't have a clue what the dude was talking about, in fact he was rather intrigued, powers? It was impossible right? But the look in the higher classed man's eyes told him different.
Suddenly akashi felt like inhuman, like he was being subjected to some kind of experiment, he felt like he was a specimen to them, a specimen to tell them about new powers for God knows what reason or motive. Someone who was just there, someone who was going to be used and tested on, but it was rather quickly, when Akashi was brought back to reality by a finger that slid down his cheek softly. It reminded him of his father's touch, but akashi remained stubborn, he didn't know who the two people were.
"Were going to take real good care of you Sato, we promise~" And that was the last of what Akashi heard before being sucked into a dark abyss. Somewhere with no escape, the abyss which was his very own nightmare.

Akashis P.o.v
Akashi shifted to his side, finding himself in an extremely comfortable and soft like cloud embrace. The only comfort he had since Sanders died, by - Aussuming what akashi thought was - his hands. He craved the comfort and didn't want to leave, but he needed to know where he was because he certainly wasn't in the safety of his own home. He wanted to see his mother, Akashi hasn't seen his mother since the morning and quite frankly, he lost track of time.
"Wakey Wakey Akashi!~" An almost too cheery male voice squealed out happily. Akashi grunted, squirmed and opened his eyes slowly, wanting to adjust to new light before he blinded himself. And more over, he wanted to know who was near him, a threat? Normal person? Or someone who maybe had different motives in mind? Akashi couldnt tell. "Hey there You little Raspberry!"
Akashi sat up instantly, his eyes widened as he was greeted by a glowing pair of golden eyes. The orbs belonged to a young looking boy with fair skin, he had beautiful blonde hair which was highlighted with a barley notciable , as if the color had somehow drained from the few stands that hung down his forehead in a messy way.
"U-Uh-" Akashi didn't quite know what to say, the words he wanted to say wouldn't form. He stumbled and tripped over multiple sentences that he had thought about saying but his mouth seemed to be locked shut, he was shocked, a little scared but somehow he just do anything but stare at the piercing eyes that seemed to stare holes into him, Akashi was frozen.
"Woah there, Raspberry, Calm down!" He giggled out as if Akaashi's inability to respond was the most amusing thing in the world, which really it wasn't but Akashi want one to judge what made other people laugh. "My names Ruki! And I'm your roommate in this damn prison. I'm gonna be showing you the ropes and teaching you how to not die in this place, alrighty?"
"Die?!" Akashi repeated out in horror as he backed up further, the male opposite was scaring him more than he thought. But the more akashi backed up, the closer he was to falling off the end of the bed, which unsurprisingly, was what happened in the end. The red headed boy fell back, hitting his head against the bedside table in the process, he groaned out in a dose of mild pain as he curled up on his side in some attempt to protect himself from - what was basically a wodden piece of furniture which was incapable of hurting Akashi anymore. 'Ouch' The red head grunted to himself.
"Easy there Raspberry! Dude are you okay? Oh god you're bleeding!" The blonde headed roommate of Akaashi's hurried to another room, taking swift, large steps back to Akashi with a first aid box in his hands. Ruki carefully lifted Akashi, who was rather surprised but still frozen in shock, into the bed securely, cleaning and patching up the minor wound which Akashi had received.
"Sorry" Akashi whispered out, his gaze was down at the floor, as if the floor was the most interesting thing ever out of the whole universe, no, it was just an excuse for Akashi to avoid eye contact with the mysterious Male named Ruki who claimed to be his roommate. Though it was only one run in with Sanders, It was clear To Akashi that some trauma of being put on deaths door and witnessing chains kill someone in front of him had clung onto him.
"No, I should apologise, you probably have no idea what's going on huh?" Ruki sighed, pouting. He set the first aid box on the bedside table and pulled up a comfortable looking chair from the corner of the room. "Let me start again, My name is Ruki Ito, And I'm your roommate from now on. You're currently in RavenWood Academy, it's a private collage, or education centre, if you prefer for people... Like us... Who have special abilities and such."
"Special.. Abilities?" Akashi wondered out loud, staring at the hyper blonde in front of him. His head tilted to the side as he tried to wrap his head around everything. RavenWood Academy, a facility specifically for the supernatural? And misunderstood? And whatever else... Akashi was part of the supernatural beings which he previously had no clue about, and it all happened so fast he just didn't know how to react anymore, instead his mouth opened as he went to say something, but then it closed again deciding not to, but then he decided he wanted to ask the blonde something, but was rather intimidated by the boys eyes he once again decided not to. Much like how a fish would when it's mouth opened and closed.
"Right. Of course since I'm your mentor here, I was informed of what happened. The feeling of being in danger, the chains, the weird ability that not even a supernatural specialist has seen before, Raspberry, you're not human, neither of us here are..." the Childlike male named Ruki explained, making it very easy to understand. Akashi didn't know what to say, he was confused but at the same time he knew what was going on, he was scared but somehow he also felt at ease. What was going on?
"Then... What am I?" Akashi asked in a quiet voice as he looked Ruki directly in the eye. He wanted to know, he had a right to, everyone ignored his questions but it was about time someone answered them. Akashi would make sure of it, he wouldn't allow anyone to keep him in the dark. Ruki looked at him and gave him a carefree smile.
"From what the Principle has told us he thinks you're along the bloodline of a Demon or some very strong creature, he said he would inform us both once he knows for definite." Ruki pulled Akashi into a tight hug with no warning. Though Akashi didn't refuse, in fact he found the hug rather comforting. He felt like he was being embraced by his mother. "Raspberry, Were gonna have so much fun together! Let's be best friends from now on, alright?"
"Sure..." Akashi sounded unsure but he realised quickly that if it wasn't Ruki he wouldve had no idea what was going on, and The energetic male had cleaned his smaller wound and comforted him, something no one did apart from his mother. Akashi frowned at not seeing his mother, but maybe he would get the chance to in the future. "Friends" akashi confirmed.
'At least we both get something out of this friendship'
