Prelude, the beginning of the story
Hey, my little flowers…
Can you hear my whisper?
Himeko opened her eyes in shocking pace, all of her body covered with cold sweat and her fist trembling. It’s occurred every time in her dreaming sleep now. First, she saw the traffic accident that killed her parents, and then she heard that strange malicious yet soft voice, voice that belonged to her nightmare, her beloved nightmare which always hunted her sleep every night in her dream. The last thing is she embraced by darkness and nothingness.
She gasped from an air, calming herself. It is just another nightmare, nothing bad going to happen again right? She is safe and she is okay... it’s her parents told her right?
**************
This day is a week after her parent’s death, a week after the mourning and cries stuff. At the first day, she thought that she can take all of this anymore. She cries until she felt numb, she shouts until she felt the pain duller.
There was she now, moved in Sasaki High School as she lived in her old mansion in Japan. She know that it’s all was so sudden, but all the things was easy if you wealth enough right? She didn’t even thinking about money and being starving because the amount of money her parents left is more than enough to operating small country in decade. Funny heh? Even after she thought that nothing more left, she still has more than another person can gain from her beloved death parents.
Surely, her family was wealth enough to buy such a land in the resort place, but still… What does the money means if you completely alone now?
Completely ignoring the fact, she walks in the spring breeze. The sky is clear and the temperature is warmth. No more tears and grieving, her old story were closed and she opened her new one. With this spring breeze, she will open her new book.
“Want some tea, Himeko-sama?” someone called her behind the bedroom door.
“Wait a second, Hidaka-san...”
*************
The new book was open…
However, can this book lead this fate into a beautiful future?
“Hey class…. My name is Atame Himeko but Himeko is fine. It’s a pleasant to meet you all,” she said with such of the cherished tone. Jet black hair stood straight in her back as her warmth oceanic blue eyes gazed at the appearance of the class. Rosy pink cheek along with bright skin just as equal as her cherish attitude, such a complementing of her deep red blazer, black shirt with white ties and equally crimson skirt. She smiled shyly to give good impression and the whole class start whispering about her but its fine, all of the school done the same...
As the time passed, she sits in the last row beside the window, such a lovely to gaze in the clear sky in the spring. She drifted into daydream about last hanami with her parents before a girl shaking her body from her back.
“Don’t make bad impression in your first day with Katsura-sensei.” The girl spoke velvety.
“Aa... okay.” was all she could reply
I always here wait for you….
I stood in this place to look at you, always…
This week is miraculous. She thinks she can’t socialize in this place and being intimidate, but soon she think it’s wrong. The people were nice and the teacher was warmth. She think it’s enough for now, she can live in this peace and nice. It’s just the life she always wanted so long ago... without attribute of royalty of money her parents has.
She always spend the lunch time in the Sakura tree in the yard with her newfound friends and ended up bickering with Raikou Ryu, Black hair, black eyes, hot headed and arrogant boy that always make a fool about her and her appearance. The other man that closed to her is Kizuna Zen, light brown hair with matching deep green eyes, silent type and cools one. He also has a handsome face and even has a fan club.
Actually, Ryu has too, but she didn’t believe it until she saw the love letter in his shoe locker. It caught her off guard but yeah…. What did the new transferred student know about that stuff in a week?
Oh, she also meets a nice girl called Hiraku Miyo. She has a short black hair and lovely chocolate warm eyes and sleepy yawn that always plastered in her rosy lips. They always walk to school together and walk home together, but she seemed shocked after she invites her to her home. Her eyes rounded like a ball and actually she jaw drop too. It makes her want to laugh so badly but she can’t. Ahahaha….. She didn’t know that she live alone, and one thing that makes her more denied this circumstance is that she lived in a huge mansion with Mr and Mrs. Hidaka, her caretaker.
Now moved to the girl who alerted her about daydreaming in Katsura-sensei class, first she thought that this girl just another nice looking girl like the rest of the class who actually glare at her previous day but seems her mind betraying her. She found silver haired girl with marble-like violet eyes and dark lips smiling in her direction. Moreover, speak for manners; she has it, polite, friendly and kind but a little bit psycho and sadistic. Her name is Kadaime Yuuki, first person who introduce her to the rest of her friends now, Zen, Ryu, and Miyo.
Speaking of friends always speaking about enemy too, actually she has… she met the three leader of Zen fans club and the Queen of Sasaki High. They treat her badly every time they met, but yeah…. she always has either Miyo or Yuuki to help her and Ryu to treating them, how thoughtful….
Actually, the three leaders have a beautiful face and a good grade too… she wonders why they envy her…
First in that trio was a though girl called Honda Kaori, she has a long light brown dyed hair with menacing chocolate eyes and pair of silver glasses. Yeah, her appearance was good, even beautiful and nice, but she’s talk too much about shopping, manicure, and such of that stuff…. Her obsession of beauty was too much to tolerate… and the most infuriating thing is she always mock Yuuki about her natural silver hair, Violet eyes and pale skin as ghost. How dare her! She can’t mock person like Yuuki just because she have silver hair! However, it’s weird, but she thinks silver hair fit in Yuuki than any other colour.
The second is Imamura Saki, she has short jet black hair with dark eyes, her appearance just like another Gothic Lolita girl and she was an obsession with Zen love… She had tried her best to make Zen fall in love with her, but seems that the ice prince always avoiding her. Wonder why…
The last one is Hine Kauri, the same fan girl as if she thought they would be, too obsessed with Zen, just like Saki, she has a natural and bit strange long pink hair and blue lens. She always wears too short skirt and two unbuttoned black shirt, it remind her of something unpleasant like whore but never mind that. Her appearance herself makes a violation to the school rule but the teacher didn’t like to ask or get a chance to get angry because she’s the daughter of the Committee in this school.
Nevertheless, this life is so funny, except the violation of the fan girl; she manages to stay in peace…. Yeah …. It’s peaceful in this place, she wanted it after that dark moment in her life, she deserves that even though it just a mere lie….
***************
Why you always have easier fate?
Moreover, why always me that must dealt with the worst one?
“Atame-san, do you want to eat lunch with me and my companion?” Yuuki asked with her famous bright smile and calm face.
“Che... who want to eat with ghost even they are insane? No one...” the sound of mocking tone from back of Himeko back make the bright smile of Yuuki grew darker.
“Yeah, you true Kaori-chan, no one want to eat with sliver haired, violet eyes girl because she is like ghost...” the second girl with pink hair chuckled and whispered once again to her left side, “Right Saki-chan?” she asked with same mocking tone as the light brown haired teen in her right side.
“Yup, even Ghost didn’t dare to come to her, because she is filthier than the ghost...” the one called Saki answered and they walked to the direction of Himeko and Yuuki.
Upon hearing that, the smile of Yuuki flattered a little. She tried to keep her calm composure and take a breath to ask Himeko once again. However, before she can do that, Himeko stand up and stared at the trio of Queen-school-and-rabid-fan-girls.
“Is it all you all want to tell me?” Himeko asked sharply as her anger grows up.
“I think...” Yuuki tried to calm the atmosphere but before she can complete her sentence, Himeko cut her off.
“Don’t bother to defend them Kadaime-san. The rude and ill mannered people like them didn’t need your defence!” Himeko said sharply.
“How dare you call us ill mannered and rude?!” They both claimed loudly.
Himeko smiled smugly, “If you aren’t, why you kept calling people ghost? Is it her or you who have ill manner and rude tongue?”
The three turn into red as tomato upon hearing that. Their fury level kept rising, as they want to slap Himeko and trashing her into nearest trash bin, beat her until she can’t even cry again.
“Shut your mouth, you trash!” One who called Kaori shouted out of fury.
She raised her arm to slap Himeko. However, before that event take place, an arm stopped her in mid air. Cold gaze of piercing violet eyes take her to her fear.
The three girls and Himeko shocked after acknowledging the one who stopped Kaori. Yuuki with usually calm face and bright smile now transform into cold gaze and dark smirk. She still kept Kaori wrist in mid air even after the owner of the wrist struggle hard. Piercing of cold Violet eyes who usually bathed in warmth gazed to now feared light brown haired girl.
“Kept your frail hand off of her if you didn’t want this hand shattered, more important thing, keep your colourful words to yourself if you didn’t want to know what the terrible thing my hands can done to you.” cold voice which dripped with venom escaped from smirking silver haired girl.
No one wants to stop the event. They are too scared to the silver haired girl who now gazed at the rest of the class to let them know that her statement isn’t just directed to the trio but to them too. They all froze in their place as not want to face the possible wrath which the dark-Yuuki can do to them.
Soon after that the statement, Yuuki release the hand she kept in mid air and let the trio to crumble to escape the class. The class still froze and she said once again, “Are you all understood?” she asked still in cold eyes, dark smirk and cold but sweet voice dripped with venom of hers.
The rest of the class chorused, “Yes ma’am!”
She took one light breath and smiled in her bright smile and calm composure with equally warmth eyes of her again before spoke up in her sweet melodious voice, “Good, now can we continue our activity?” she asked in her usual bright and good manner once again, like she never acted like devil beforehand.
“Now Atame-san, are you wanted to accompany me to eat our lunch?” she beamed the stilled figure of Himeko with her famous bright smile once again.
“Su...sure...” Himeko answered, still hesitated.
“Good then, let’s go before Miyo pissed off!” Yuuki exclaimed and dragged Himeko out from the class.
The entire class shivering before continue what they did and make same mental note, ‘never ever make Kadaime Yuuki pissed off...’ in their mind.
*************************
Can you hear the whispering wind?
Can you feel the tears of the rain?
If you life in this blissful melody, can you be able to know that?
“Is it the way to the library Kadaime-san?” Himeko asked, hesitated and confused.
“Ah, Yuuki is okay, Atame-san.” She replied at Himeko, “I must get this person if I want to eat; I think it’s a bit of habit of mine.” She answered.
“Oh... okay, but don’t call me Atame-san. I think it sounded I was old woman rather than teenager. Himeko is fine.” Himeko said, clearing her hesitated mind to suspect the earlier accident in the class as dark side of this Yuuki.
“Well, Himeko-chan then.” Yuuki said and entered the library without hesitated and search the certain person she wants to get before heading to the rooftop.
In the end of the rows in back and dark room, sit the light brown hair with matching deep green eyes boys with a book in his hand. Yuuki smiled a little bit and drag Himeko to the direction of the boy who now stands up.
“Hi Yuu...” he greeted monotonously and still kept reading his book-in-hand.
With quick movement, Yuuki stole it from the boy and smiled to Himeko apologetic way, “Himeko-chan, its Kizuna Zen. Coldblooded kendo captain and boy who often skipping class in library or kendo club, has same cold manner as his face shown, limited vocabulary due to the fact that he can’t say much words except ‘Aa...’ or more like that. Zen, its Himeko Atame, my new friend.” She introduces Himeko to the boy with her everlasting smile.
The boy glared darkly to the smiling Yuuki in murderous intent. However, he didn’t get much except the same bright smile from the silver haired girl even when he tried to steal the book which rested in her palm.
Himeko in the other hand, flushed madly in the sight of the boy from some unknown reason. The deep green eyes she she meet a while ago in the class which successfully absorbed her mind now look at her again.
“Nice to meet you, Kizuna-san...” she uttered those words.
“Aa...” the boy nodded in acknowledgement
“Make a friend with stranger so easily again...” he mumbled under his breath.
Yuuki twitched her eyebrow, “What do you said again Zen-kun?” she said while giving him the same smile mixed with murderous intent.
“Nope” was the curt answer from the boy.
“Good, now let’s headed to the rooftop and met my other companion, Himeko-chan. don’t mind him too much, its good thing if he want to answer that.” Yuuki chirped happily.
Not knowing how to answer that, Himeko following the certain silver haired girl in front of them to the rooftop is silence. No word spoken and she can barely hear the bickering of the two people in the rooftop. Seems she was in luck to get Yuuki to befriend with her.
Oh well... she can go around with Yuuki whom successfully tamed the wild and cold Kizuna Zen is good. It’s not that Yuuki isn’t good or anything but, she wants to see sight the handsome boy, won’t she?
*******************
Slowly the snow melting away,
Greeting the spring and the new sun
Let just say all this month was pleasure to Himeko. She get along with Yuuki and surprisingly Zen in the class, ended up always bickering for some unknown reason with Ryu and get along all too well in kendo club with Miyo and Zen again. She never sees the world and life in this happy perspective before she moved in this place.
Even though she sucks in many test in this month, she still survive in average grade at least. Thanks to Yuuki whom always teach her along with anyone, she manages to survive all that weird stuff like history, home economics, et cetera. All that stuff is still weird even after Yuuki teach her how the things like that are useful. Seriously, whom the one with their right mind memorize the autobiography of dead person and think that useful enough in this life? Have to be kidding...
Nevertheless, talk about the thing like study, now she must faced her worst thing. The grade of class is this day. She realized that she was slacking off too much and she thinks she can’t even stand in the average class. True, Yuuki and Zen along with Miyo and Ryu always teach her about the entire thing the teacher said in gibberish way. They are just too cool...
Now she must face the grade board, she must face the fact that she can’t stand in the same row with Kizuna Zen. Oh well... why she is too obsessed with this boy!
Looking in the highest throne was her class leader, a shy girl she barely remembers. Second, third, fourth, she spotted unknown name. In fifth, Zen Kizuna with his rainbow colour of good grade and unsurprisingly Yuuki in the seventh place.
She was hopeless now, how can she not be hopeless when she got along with people who have mind-like-monster like Yuuki who never touch book and study. She always got novel or comics underneath her book in the class and still can answer the question which thrown at her in random interval and got them right without thinking much except the time she gazed the board? On the other hand, the fact the she actually never spent more than half an hour to cover up her homework and never pay attention to the class will be the proof that she is prodigy or such of that stuff. She mustn’t be human...
Miyo is no exception, she always looks so bored in anything but she can teach her the hell-like-math even half asleep. The dull mind like Ryu is the only sane one amongst this place. He must suffer from thick book Zen holding if he answered the question in wrong way, but this isn’t any normal question if we considered Yuuki with her literature mind and history brain, Miyo with the stuff like algebra and trigonometry, and Zen with his brilliant in finding the resolution of both who make it. They actually have bunch of question to her and Ryu as more homework and don’t ask what the punishment if they can’t survive from that. If you think Yuuki is nice girl with lot of mercy, you think it’s wrong. Yuuki alone with her blackmailing stuff and psycho mind is unwanted storm in winter season...
At random afternoon, she throws up question to the four of them because she was far too curious about how they maintain their (if she said they, it must be Yuuki, Zen and Miyo because they are the ‘normal’ in this little relationship). She asking the reason why they go to school and get unsurprisingly unmotivated answer.
As for Miyo, she said to ‘relieve the boredom’. What an answer... this school, Sasaki High School is top and considered as favourite School but one of the student there go to school just to relieving the boredom... leave it to Miyo to say that stuff like it’s the normal answer she can get.
If you think that Himeko was going insane because of Miyo, the people who hang around with her are all insane and maintain inhuman brain except Ryu.
Now move to second subject in that question, Zen. He said with his cold attitude ‘asks that ghost why...’ and receive killer smile from Yuuki. Moreover, the second question ‘why you have bunch of fan girls in your tail’ is answered by his famous boredom look and ‘Aa... I think they like random guy.’
Third subject is Yuuki. She just said with secretive but dripping with venom smile and answered eerily ‘can you guess that?’
She answered again with bright smile ‘Uhm... to get some nice improved math and threatening fan girls I guess.’ Yep, she was positive in psycho mode now. Why she said math instead of entertainment? Because her weakest point in school subject is, number... the only one subject which held her to the top three thrones because of average mark in math, physic, and chemistry.
The sane person just Ryu with his answer to study and get along. He was the one except Himeko who got sane mind now, when he did actually say ‘to study and such of that stuff. I did not have inhuman brain like the people I’d hang around with.’ He nearly get a new wound of sharp object called hard cover book by Zen and receive the eerie smile from both Yuuki and sleepyhead Miyo.
Back to the problem of grade, she ended up in fifty sixth places. Repeat that, she is in that place! If it’s just another humourless joke, please stop now. She can’t actually get in fifty sixth places from total number of two hundred and thirty six after that week of hell called test!
“Not too bad huh, Hime-chan?” Yuuki tapped her shoulder from the back.
Out of shock, Himeko exclaimed. “Yuuki!” and faced the silver haired girl.
“Ehehe... it just a humourless job the teacher throw to me. I can’t actually be in that place! You know I didn’t get the genius gens like you!” she ranted.
Yuuki put her reassuring smiles once again, “Hey, you are supposed to be happy now. If you slacked lot, you can’t call me slacker again.” she asked innocently and pouted.
“No! Not like that! I... I just kept slacking off and those tests seem terrible! I didn’t think of being in the average class.” Himeko answered quickly.
Yuuki smiled again, this girl like to smile a lot nee...
“Celebration then...” Yuuki stated so sudden.
Sleep deprived girl who was hiding in the corner of the crowd disappears and walked towards the two girls in her sleepyhead mode, watching and listening to their conversation.
“What event to celebrate Yuuki?” Miyo asked the smirking silver haired girl.
The silver haired girl kept her creepy smile of her, “Celebration for our Hime as she grown brain now.” she answered thoughtfully.
“Eh, about me grown a brain? What that supposed to mean!” Himeko exclaimed as soon as the smiling girl speak.
