Summary: is it skepticism or fear towards something unpredictable? Is there a chance of experiencing something new and completely loving it? That is what they will both discover.

R&R plz! Author's note at the end
This is the day - The Cranberries
"Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past, bringing back memories I wish I didn't have" echoed a voice in her head
"Who's there?" she asked, no response
"Regret is a different beast when you live for centuries, don't you think?" The mysterious voice repeated
"Who are you? Why are you saying all these things?" she told the air, then again, the response wasn't what she wanted
"Yesterday's friends become tomorrow's foes…so flow the days filled with betrayal and enmity…" the voice whispered, a hint of sadness reaching her ears "fate has no forgiveness for those who dare stand against it" said the voice, a silver silhouette taking form behind her
With a shiver she swallowed the lump in her throat and answered "It's never too late to reform one's ways" silence filled the now dark forest
"These dark times are vanishing my hopes like water that spills from my hands" the tall silver haired man replied, walking closer to her, slowly
"It is never too late… "She said, slowly turning around, observing the man's features, his long fluffy tail, his twitching ears, and those piercing eyes that observed every movement she made
"I want it all to go away…I want to be alone" he said, his head facing the ground
"Then…I'll be with you in this loneliness" she said, and with a smile started moving closer to him
"Friends…" he pondered "Friends are just a crutch for the weak! I don't need to be looked down on by a mere human!" he yelled back, switching into a defensive stance, ready to rip her apart "my heart is paining, left somewhere else and forgotten…what is there to give or believe! " he growled and darkness covered them once more
Without hesitation she looked into the man's eyes, golden eyes filled with sadness and anger "don't be afraid…just…follow your heart" she smiled at him "even through naïve" by just looking at her his features softened, but when he was about to make his way to her, a very loud sound pierced through her ears.
She snapped her eyes open and explored the room, panting hard, sweating cold "it was…it was just a dream…" she sighted, turning off the alarm clock that had woken up "but…what was that…it felt so…real…" she stretched out in her bed and after a couple of seconds she was greeted by a kind looking woman that was smiling at her from the door
"Lady Hikaru? Lady Hikaru, are you awake yet?" the small woman moved closer to the bed and caressed gently Hikaru's face "you're going to be late if you don't get up soon lady Hikaru" she smiled kindly at her.
"Hmmm… I'll be up in a bit" Hikaru complained
"Then I'll be downstairs with your breakfast ready, lady Hikaru" the short woman smiled and went back to the door
"I wonder how many times I'll have to tell her to stop calling me lady Hikaru… I hate formalities so much!" she asked out loud, stretching out before looking at the hour "Oh God!! Its 9 already?? I'm gonna be SO late! " she panicked and got off bed as soon as she could, she slipped the first pair of jeans her arm reached along with a shirt and stormed her way downstairs "I'll be late, I'll be late, I'll be late!!" she kept repeating while running out the house.
"Lady Hikaru!! You forgot you lunch- -" the maid barely finished her sentence when she noticed Hikaru wasn't there anymore " Dear God…what am I going to do with her, she forgot her lunch and left without having breakfast… I wonder what's gotten into her, it's barely 8am…aren't classes supposed to be at 9:30am? Hmmm… oh well, maybe she had other things to do" the maid smiled kindly and began putting away the leftovers.
"Nooooo, why me, why me…first day of school and I'm going to be SO late! How embarrassing! I'll be marked for life!!" she cried, running towards school when, by chance, she saw a digital clock on top of one of the traffic lights "it's …8:35…am?" she read slowly, not believing what she was seeing "b-but… my watch said…" she looked at her watch, noticing it had been frozen in place, marking 9am "… … … you've gotta be kidding me!!" she yelled, obviously angry "and there was I, getting all worked up about the hour…" she left out a heavy sight and dropped on a nearby bench "… I can't believe it… I could've slept more!" she sulked on the bench, suddenly the memory of her dream coming to her mind, images passing by trying to find sense "I wonder what that dream was…and why it felt so real…" she looked at her hands, curious " I felt sad and lonely…and those eyes, the just kept looking at me as if begging for help…" she looked up at the sky, her mind clearing "it's such a beautiful day…"she thought, slowly getting up and fixing her clothes " oh well… I'm out here already, I might as well get something to eat!" and with her spirits up again she started walking towards the bakery that was still a few blocks away "I didn't notice how much time I spent crying over the hour on that bench" she thought, walking a little faster " I won't have as much time as I thought! I should run my way so I'll have time to eat quickly and then run to school!" and with that she started running, although she wasn't very tall she could sure run fast.
"It's still pretty early" the young man left out a deep sigh "I keep having troubles sleeping…I wonder why I feel so uneasy at night sometimes" he was walking slowly along the street, ignoring the looks women gave him, he was gorgeous, his long red hair and his emerald green eyes easily attracted the attention of all those who passed by him, his soft features and well built body were quite an eye candy to the girls that walked on that street " It's so uncomfortable, to have so many people staring" he said, sounding almost hopeless "I hope things at school run smoothly… first day in a new school… can't be so bad… can it?" he smiled towards the sky, completely oblivious to his surroundings "what a beautiful day this is…" he was about to continue his way when someone bumped into him, making him fall on his back "ugh…" he was surprised when she looked at the girl who had just bumped into him.
"Hmmm… I wonder what I could eat!! Maybe a croissant? A sandwich? Perhaps some sweets? Hehehe maybe an apple sweet! That'd be perfect! Along with some citrus cinnamon tea! Yes that sounds just great!" Hikaru kept running thinking about her breakfast, she turned on the corner and before she could realize she had already tackled someone to the floor
"ugh…" someone complained "
ouch… oh man that's what I call a tackle" she thought, trying to get up " oh God I'm SO sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I - -" she stared and the surprised guy, lost on his emerald eyes "so gorgeous…" she thought
"Are you Ok miss?" he asked, concern in his voice " I uh… I'm…I'm fine" she managed to answer, astonished by this guy
"That's good to hear" he smiled kindly at her, slowly getting up "here, let me help you" he stretched out a hand for her to take
"Hikaru!! Snap out of it girl!! " she mentally slapped herself before taking his hand "hehe I'm so sorry I bumped into you, I wasn't paying attention and I just didn't see you coming!" she smiled, feeling a little embarrassed
"it's ok, I'm fine you don't have to worry" his smile making her heart skip a beat, unfortunately for her the moment didn't last long, she had just noticed the hour and panicked again " OH GOD!! Now I'm going to be late for sure!!" she thought and apologized again "I'm so sorry, again, I gotta leave!" she started running, leaving behind a very startled guy "hope to see you some other time!" she waved back at him, running as fast as she could towards school
"I hope to see you too" he said to himself, as he watched the girl leave "I better take my leave or I'll be late" with these words he turned into an alley and suddenly disappeared.
