A/N: Hey ya guys! Well, here I am with another fanfic! I bet you guys are tired already of all my stories, ahahahahaha. My brain just keeps making up stories one after another but I'm sure this one will take awhile to finish so that means I won't be posting much for awhile after I complete this. ;-)

Summary: Kahoko and Len have been friends ever since kindergarden. As time passes by, the two grow together through their elementary years to their first year in highschool but when one feels that they are more than just friends, which is more valuable? Friendship or love?

Okay, I'm really sorry for my lame summary but I'm sure you all get it right? I hope so but if not, you can always PM me. :D

Enjoy this first chapter for 'Destinies Intertwined.'

In a small kindergarden in Japan, it's the first day of school for it's students. Children ages five to six are gathered in their classroom as they go with their circle of friends, play with toys or simply wait for their sensei to begin class.

A young woman in her early twenties enters the room and smiles. "Hello everyone, please take your seats." And the kids follow her obediently.

"Good morning class." She smiles.

"Good morning sensei!" The children reply back enthusiastically and with a smile on each of their faces.

"Do you all know what today is?"

"First day of school!" They say as they laugh and giggle.

Sensei giggles as well, "That's right, does anyone know what happens on the first day of school?"

Hands are raised and sensei picks the hand of the little red-headed girl in a cute sundress, "Yes, Hino-san?"

Little Hino Kahoko stands up, "We meet new classmates and we make them our friends." She smiles, excited indeed to meet her new classmate. She always liked the thought of gaining a new friend, someone to play with or simply someone to talk to.

"That's correct, Hino. We have one new classmate who will join us this school year. Come in, Tsukimori-kun." Sensei opens the door and in comes a little boy with blue hair and golden eyes. His gaze is on the floor as he walks in hesitantly and in small, cute steps into the classroom. Hino's face lights up as she sees her new classmate, 'Kya! He's so kawaii!'

"Why don't you introduce yourself a little bit, Tsukimori-kun?"

"A-ah, uhm..." He stammers, "I'm Tsu-tsukimori Len."

"Say hello to Tsukimori-kun, class."

"Hello!" They greet him and Tsukimori looks up to his new classmates with wonder. His eyes meet Hino's but he does not stop staring.

Hino, realizing she was still staring at him, turned tomato red and was the first to look away. 'Ah - he looked at me.' She looked again just to see if he was still staring and he was still looking at Hino. 'Kya!'

"Well kids, now that we know who our new classmate is, let's begin class now. Tsukimori-kun, you may sit next to Hino-san." Sensei gestured to the empty chair beside Hino, being the only empty seat in the classroom.

Hino blinked before she knew that her new, cute classmate was going to sit next to her. "E-eh?" She muttered then her head jerked left to see Tsukimori take the empty seat with a nod, "Hi."

"Hi." She gave a small smile but he didn't seem to notice, his eyes looked blank. She sighed quietly and turned back to the blackboard.

"Y-your name is Hino?" She heard him murmur and she was surprised. Sensei did mention her name but she never thought he'd remember.

"Ah - yes! Yours is Tsukimori right?"

He looks at her with a small smile but it was enough to cause her heart to beat faster, "Yes."

"Oh," was all she says and turns back to face front. She gulps nervously and turns back to him and asks, "Tsukimori-kun?"

He was still turned towards her and this also surprised her again. "Yes?"

"Would you like to be friends?" She stammers and blushes. She looks down and waits for his reply.

"Yes."

"Yes?" She looks back up to him and sees his smile again. 'It's so pwetty...' She thinks to herself, mesmerized by it.

"I would like to be your friend, so yes."

And this makes her smile in return.

Dissmisal;

As all the kids cleaned their mess and got their bags, they all went out of the classroom to go to their parents or guardians.

Hino shrugged in her backpack straps on her shoulders and saw her older sister waiting outside. "Onee-san!" She squeals as she skips towards her in a tight embrace. Her sister gets her backpack for her and hold her little sister's hand, "Ready to go home? Did you forget anything?"

Hino thinks deeply, "Ah, yes! Wait a minute!" She lets go of her sister's hand and looks for Tsukimori. 'I forgot to say goodbye to him.'

She sees a black glossy car stop in front of her and a young lady - looks to be older than her sensei - walks out of the car in a dress and she looks oddly like Tsukimori-kun.

"Excuse me, Hino-san." She hears little Tsukimori-kun behind her and she moves to give him space. He walks up to the young lady and she hugs him like she was his... mother?

Hino stays frozen in her place as the two pull away and Tsukimori turns to her. "A-ah, Okasan, meet Hino-san. She is one of my new classmate and my... new friend." He stammers in a shy manner and blushes slightly as he addresses her as his new friend. His mother smiles at Hino and nods at her, "Why hello there, Hino-san. I'm glad my son has found a new friend, take care of her alright?"

"E - eeeh?" Hino blushes as well as her eyes widen. "T-tsukimori-kun is a very behaved classmate, I - " She isn't able to finish her sentence since her sister interrupts. She sees her onee-san frown, "Hino! You shouldn't run away like that! You - " Her older sister sees Tsukimori's mother and stiffens, "H-hamai Misa? The Hamai Misa?"

"Ah, so you know me." The young lady - Hamai Misa - giggles.

Hino's older sister turns back to Hino, "Don't do that next time, I should always be with you." She bows down in front of Hamai Misa. "I'm very sorry for the trouble my little sister has caused. She's just a kid."

"Oh, no, no, no. She's done nothing wrong. She's actually befriended my son." Hamai Misa gestured to Tsukimori.

"Oh. You did?" She asks Hino and Hino nods. "Well - er, uhm... we should be going now. It was nice meeting you, Hamai Misa a-and your son. Goodbye!" She takes Hino by the hand and drags her away from them.

"Goodbye Tsukimori-kun! See you tomorrow!" Hino waves at him with a huge grin as she skips and follows her sister. Tsukimori waves back also, whispering. "See you."

5 years later;

Hino is in her bedroom practicing her violin, she had just started a few weeks ago and she was still getting the hang of it. Hino was taking violin lessons and continued to practice as well at home, only her sister didn't let her play since her playing still wasn't up to par.

She stood on her balcony fixing her posture for the last two hours. "Hmph," she huffed in irritation, "My arms are aching already!"

"You're doing it wrong." Tsukimori muttered by her bedroom door as he leaned against it. Hino shot him a glare, "Gee, thanks. I knew that two hours ago." She exhaled and placed her violin on her desk. "Trespassing doesn't help me either."

"You told me it was okay to visit after I practiced, sorry I'm a little late. I think I went overboard with the rehearsing." Tsukimori scratched the back of his neck and grimaced.

Hino sighed and shook her head, "You always do but it's okay, silly. You're getting better and better everyday." She placed the violin back in it's case and walked towards Tsukimori. "Sorry I glared at you awhile ago."

"No problem."

"Do you want anything? Ice cream or yogurt?"

Tsukimori arched an eyebrow, "Is that a trick question?"

Hino laughed, "I was just playing you. Yogurt, it is." She walked passed Tsukimori to get some but he stopped her, grabbing her wrist. "What?"

"I didn't say I wanted any. You can stay."

"Well, I want some ice cream so let me go will you?" She scolded playfully and Tsukimori released her.

"I'll go with you."

"Help me wash some dishes?"

Tsukimori wrinkled his nose, "Can I just wipe it?"

Hino rolled her eyes, "Alright, your majesty. I'll do it myself, you can go wait for your yogurt in the room."

"Thanks Hino."

"Welcome." She smiled and headed down the stairs to do the last of her chores while Tsukimori waited in her room. It was their usual routine ever since they both knew how to go to each other's places by themselves. Tsukimori finishes his rehearsing and goes to Hino's place, the two have some yogurt and ice cream and later on, Tsukimori tutors Hino as well but Hino doesn't usually allow it since she wants to learn by herself. Either that or the two watch t.v.

Tsukimori entered her room and sat on her chair in front of her study desk, there are portraits of her family, her graduation from preschool and a picture of the two of them when they were little. Tsukimori looks closely at the picture of the both of them and notices that Hino hasn't changed at all except that she now has a complete set of teeth and grew a few inches but she wasn't near as tall as himself. The two of them grew together through preschool and now they're both in their elementary years.

He sighs as his fingers brush the edges of the picture frame, "I don't want to go..."

A knock on the door startles him and he pulls his hand away from the picture frame, "Yogurt is here!" Hino smiles with his yogurt and her ice cream Popsicle. Hino then smirks at Tsukimori, "What were you doing with my picture?"

Tsukimori's eyes widen and he immediately blushes, "N-nothing."

Hino chuckles and hands him his yogurt, "Gosh, I was kidding." She chuckles some more and takes the framed picture with her, sighing. "I sure do miss kindergarden."

"I do too."

"It's when we first met right? I still remember how you looked like... having incomplete teeth." Hino snickered.

"Hey! You had missing two front teeth! That's more embarrassing!" Tsukimori argued although flustered by what she said. He always felt embarrassed when she would say that about him when he was a toddler.

"The girls liked you also. Back in kindergarden, they would all ask you to be their costumer during the game of 'Kitchen, kitchen.'" Hino's laugh fades and her face suddenly becomes blank.

"I said no to each and every one of them though. I didn't like being fed fake, plastic food."

This made Hino laugh again, "Yeah, I didn't like it either. Especially since most of the 'food' were already deformed and nibbled on." The both of them shivered in horror.

Tsukimori took a spoonful of his yogurt, "Ah, today's pretty warm too. The heat."

"That's what you get during summer vacation but it's cooling down. Ready for school again? I wonder if we're gonna be classmates again like we usually are." Hino stared up at the ceiling with a look of wonder in her eyes as she ate her ice cream. Tsukimori looked on his shoes as he also ate his yogurt. "I seriously doubt that."

Hino snapped out of her daydream, "Why would you say that? Haven't I been a nice classmate to you for the last - what? - five years?"

Tsukimori chuckled softly, "'Course you were. It's just that..."

"What?" Hino looked at Tsukimori nervously.

"I'm not going to be in the same school as you." Tsukimori muttered with another scoop of yogurt.

"Oh? But, that's half okay since we're still going to see each other after school." But something bothers Hino with the look on Tsukimori's face. "...we're not...going to see each other after school... are we?"

Tsukimori shook his head, "No. At least, not after a year or two."

Hino drops her spoon and bowl and ice cream splatters at them but none of them complain, Hino is frozen. "...what?"

"I'm going to Europe for awhile with my parents. My parents didn't like the idea of leaving me alone here in Japan while they performed abroad so they decided to take me with them. Just to finish elementary, of course. So that means I'll be back here for highschool." Tsukimori made the tone of his voice a little light so that it wouldn't sound so bad. Hino nodded, her neck jerking in a stiff manner.

"A year or two, huh?"

"I'll say it'll be about two years."

"Europe."

"Yes, Europe."

Hino nods again. "I see."

Tsukimori frowns, "Don't act that way, Hino. It's just going to be harder for me."

"Harder for what? You already told me and it's okay. I can wait that long or longer." Hino finally faces him with a determined look on her face. "If it's you, Tsukimori. I can wait." She raises her hand with only her pinky finger raised.

Tsukimori looks confused, "Uh..."

"What, don't tell me you never did a pinky promise before?"

"No."

Hino sighs with a shake of her head, "Poor little guy, you'll be hopeless without me in Europe."

"We'll see. Now what do I do?"

"I'll say a promise that both of us will have to keep and you wrap your pinky finger around mine. Okay?"

"And what would that promise be?"

"For you, that you'll send letters to me about what you've been doing in Europe, anything at all. It could be about riding a gondola, watching your parent's concert of meeting a new friend," Tsukimori started to chuckle but Hino mock punched his arm to shut him up, "That's your promise. And for mine - "

"I'll say your promise."

"No you don't. That's not part of the rules."

"You said my promise so I'll have to say yours. It's only fair."

Hino huffed, "Fine."

Tsukimori thought for a second, "Okay, your promise is... you'll wait for me."

"Uh, duh. Promise or no promise, I'd do that."

"Okay fine fine, a different one then. Okay... Your promise is that by the time I'm back in Japan, you'll reply to every single letter I send you and you'll have to improve your skills in violin."

"WHAT?"

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes." Tsukimori smirked.

"No. Way."

"You said pinky promise! This kind of thing is serious! You should promise me!"

"Sending letters to you is a piece of cake for me. B-but promising I'll be better at playing the violin in only two years or less is not really an accurate kind of thing. It takes longer than that!"

"But by that time, since you do have potential, you'll be as good as me - okay, maybe slightly." Tsukimori muffled a laugh, Hino slapped his arm.

"Showoff, just because you're some prodigy."

"Hey, it isn't always easy being one." Tsukimori's tone was serious and so Hino gave up arguing with him. She wrapped her pinky on his, "Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear."

Hey guys! So this is the first chapter! I'm so excited to hear your opinions on it and I hope you guys will like it also. :-)

Okay, to clear up a few things here since I predict some of you will scold me for making Tsukimori a bit OOC here, he's more light and open because I'm sure Tsukimori wasn't naturally cold ever since he was born, right? He was only cold by the time that he was nearing teenage life and he felt that he was merely a shadow of his parents and that he could not outshine them, right? Well, you'll see that his personality in La Corda will be shown as the story progresses. He is and always will be - after all - the Tsukimori Len that we all know. It's just that in this chapter, we'll get a glimpse of who he was - at least in my opinion - before all the cold and ice prince attitude that he has when he started highschool.

Although I do adore the old Tsukimori a lil' bit, don't you? Being the ordinary kind of childhood friend any girl would have to suddenly becoming the coldest guy you will ever know. But at least he likes Yogurt. Hehehehe.

So, you could also see this as a prologue but it's just to show how the two met and how their friendship blossomed and we will continue to see some more of this in the next chapters.

Don't worry, Tsukimori will be back in Japan faster than you can say 'update!'

Okay maybe not but I'll try to update as soon as I can! ;-) Thanks guys! Please oh please oh please leave a review !
