I know I haven't written anything for Hana in a long time. Personally, I didn't think I ever would, but here we are. I really like this idea. It's been in my head for a really really long time. I hope you guys like it. Let me know...

Chapter One: Who's Makino Tsukushi?

She sat in the back of the limo silently. She didn't look out the window to watch the scenery pass her by. She didn't watch the TV that was mounted to the side. She didn't even read the magazine that lay open on her lap. No, she just sat looking directly ahead at the black divider thinking.

"There's been a change of plans Makino-sama; we'll be meeting her at the school, instead. Something seems to have come up." The middle aged man that sat in front of her advised. He wasn't all that attractive, but he wasn't ugly or plain either. He seemed very serious and was most likely every effective at whatever he did. He had to be to work for that troll.

She didn't respond. It wasn't as if she had a say in the matter. She hadn't had a choice in any of this. She hadn't asked to be moved to Tokyo or to be enrolled in the overly posh school she was bound to be attending, and she most certainly didn't request to have to deal with the Doumyouji's again. She slipped her hand into her pocket, the first sign of life she'd shown since her arrival, and she withdrew a small phone. She flipped it open and scanned the pictures letting a soft sigh pass her lips.

Breakfast was already served when he made it into the dinning room and he was about to fire someone for letting his food get cold until he heard the paper rustle to his left. His anger faded to the annoyance that replaced it and he shuffled toward his seat. "What are you doing here?"

Kaede folded her paper and took as sip of her tea before glancing at the scowl greeting her this morning. "Hello to you as well, Tsukasa." She went back to sipping her tea ignoring his question.

"What are you doing here?" He bit out, his tone cold and sharp.

His mother sighed and replaced the cup on its saucer. "Not that I have to explain myself to you, but I have business to attend to at your school today."

"What kind of business?" He questioned suspiciously as he found his appetite gone.

She looked up as Nishida walked into the dinning room with a black portfolio folder in hand. "Excuse me chairwoman, but she's arrived and she's on her way to the school."

"Good." Kaede took the offered folder and stood to leave when Tsukasa also stood.

"Who's on their way to my school?" He reached out and grabbed her arm.

She sighed and handed him the folder. He opened it to see a picture of a brunette with beautiful big doe-like honey brown eyes. The dossier said she was sixteen and that her name was Makino Tsukushi. "Who is she?"

"Her mother was a friend of ours and we're helping her out through a tough time." She took the portfolio back and gave her son a serious look. "She only has one year. Your father promised me that once the years done she can go back to the hole she crawled out of, but for the next 365 days she's more or less my problem, which makes her your problem." She crossed her arms and motioned for him to take a chair. "It would seem, if this morning's greeting was anything to go by, that you don't really like having me home. I don't like it, but I can respect that. If you don't want me here keep her out of trouble. Do you understand?"

The limo slowed to a stop in front of the school and a few giggly girls stopped to see the passenger, but were left disappointed as a girl stepped out of the back. They whispered quietly as they watched her make her way to the entrance. She had perfectly layered chestnut brown hair that stopped just below her shoulders. She wore a hot pink, orange, yellow, white and black plaid button up tee over a white long sleeve with a hot pink skirt over black leggings and black sneakers. The look was completed with black leather wristbands and a black and pink bowed head band.

The body guard behind her carried her book bag, which was black with different patches for all types of bands and events. The eyes continued to follow her where ever she went, but as she walked through the heavy double doors for the superintendant's office, they all started to guess at who the young woman was.

Tsukasa's limo pulled up to the front of the school in time to see Akira and Sojiro pull up on the raven's motorcycle. "Yo." The other boys called out when Tsukasa didn't seem like he was going to say anything.

"Yo." He bit out half heartedly. He'd had a lot to think about with his mother's ultimatum hanging over his head. How was he supposed to befriend some chicken head he'd never met and keep her out of trouble?

Sojiro walked over to Tsukasa's right, while Akira took the left. "He looks broken." He laughed when the taller young man didn't respond.

"Maybe he got lucky and hasn't recovered yet." Akira added thoughtfully, but then shook their heads dismissively.

"He seems deep in thought." Rui said strolling up to his friends with his hands in his pockets. "What'cha thinking about 'Kasa?"

Said boy blinked as if realizing his friends were there. "The old hag says she'll basically get out of my hair and let me make my own decisions until I take over the company, as long as I keep this stupid girl out of trouble."

Sojiro smiled at the prospect of his friend interacting with a girl on a regular basis. "Who is she?"

"Some friend of the family." He fished in his pocket for the picture from the dossier and handed it over to his friends only to hear them gasp.

"Dude, she's hot." Akira looked up incredulously at the scowl pointed at him. "The bat wants you to babysit her?"

"Maybe it's a trap, or a backdoor arranged marriage." Rui glance at the photo, but then did a double take. "That's Makino Tsukushi." No one seemed to notice the smirk that lifted his lips momentarily.

"Yeah, so?" Tsukasa knew the name was familiar, but he supposed it had to do with the family friend thing.

"She's the heiress to Takekado Worldwide." Rui answered smugly. The three other boys looked back at the picture as if it would give them some more answers and Tsukasa snatched it back and stuffed it in his pocket.

"Whatever, it's just a year and I doubt it's an arranged marriage, because the hag didn't sound like she was too thrilled to be taking care of her."

Please read and review. Should I continue? Does it sound promising? Does it seem already done? Let me know.
