Bonded by a string

Shall I continue down this path?

Or take the other path.

Will you guide me to my...

final treasure?

It was a nice day, with the sun hidden behind a few clouds, wind breezing through on and off. In the middle of the city, there sat a school, built in the 1980's, famous for its excellent teachers and students. The principal of the school, breeze through the information of the students who intended to transfer into this school. Throwing another pile of papers into the 'rejected' box, he sighed. It seems that the students who intended to transfer this year all seems too boring for our dear principal who always searches for fun. He stood up and walked to the window, having a view of the whole school and the students who seemed to be having fun. This school which was passed down by his parents had produced many famous people. He heaved another sigh and was taken aback when his secretary entered, once again with another stacks of papers. She gave a glance at the 'rejected' box and smiled. Handing him the stack of papers, she wished him good luck and went out, clearing the box and getting ready for the complaints of parents when they knew that their children were unable to enter the school. He sat down and flipped through the stack of papers, not really feeling interested in reading them. Then something caught his eyes. He placed the papers down and called for his secretary. She entered immediately, as if expecting for him to call.

"I've decided this year transfer students." His head placed above his hands, he passed the papers to her with a smirk.

A brown haired guy sat near the window sill, flipping a coin while spending his time. Someone came in through the door and took a seat next to him. They threw a glance to each other and nodded. Another guy with purple long hair came in, scanning the room and sighed when he noticed that there is only the three of them in class.

"Where's he?"Fujisaki Nagihiko, turned as his hair flew around, slapping the two boys right on the face.

"Damn it, Nagi, you really have to cut your hair." Souma Kukai stopped flipping his coin and complained about his hair.

"I agree." The other guy, Sanjou Kairi pushed his spectacles up and threw a glare at the man known as Nagi.

"Sorry, but you guys are off topic." He sent another glance at the both of them and raised his eyebrow when they both shrugged.

"He's probably out there flirting with another girl." Kukai commented and started flipping his coin again.

"He's going to get detention again, isn't he, if he skips homeroom again." Kairi looked up and stated the truth.

"Really, man, that's the 5th time this week! Wonder what will happen if she's here." He snickered and sent his short cropped hair flying with the wind. Nagihiko had not a chance to argue with Kukai about his comment as their homeroom teacher, Nikaido Yuu had already entered the classroom. Behind him were a whole group of students as they ran to their seats and sat down. No way are they going to mess up with that teacher. Nikaido took out the attendance book and started taking attendance. Looking up on and off and smirked when one of them is not here. When it finally came to that name, Nagihiko lowered his head and prayed for him. Then suddenly, a certain someone flew in through the window landing perfectly and walked to his seat and sat down. The whole class were taken aback by that certain someone's action. A few girls squealed and the whole class started cheering. Nikaido tapped a few times on the table and they finally calmed down, once again claiming their seats.

"Very well. Tsukiyomi Ikuto, you are just lucky today." Nikaido gave a tick in the box next to that name. He closed the attendance book and placed it on the table before leaving the classroom as the principal sent for him.

The whole class was getting hyped up by Ikuto's cool action. A few of them asked Ikuto to teach them as the girls presented him with all sorts of presents. When the chaos finally cooled down, Nikaido hasn't show up yet. This gave an opportunity for the four best friends to gather and have a chat.

"Luck's on your side today man." Kukai commented as he gave a punch on Ikuto's shoulder.

"I did say that's a nice flip you did there." Kairi complimented as he pushes his spectacles up.

"You saw?" Ikuto raised one of his eyebrows. Wow, he thought no one saw that, but with the super observant Kairi here, there's no way something like that would happen.

"So what makes our kuroneko to jump into the class in such a cool way?" Nagihiko teased him, nudging him slightly by the rib.

"Ugh, don't even talk about it." He acted as if he had seen a ghost but in fact, he had seen something better.

"Hey, what is it?" Kukai tried to make him burst the secret but Ikuto was just too hard to do it. Just this instance Nikaidou stepped in and started babbling about something. Ikuto yawned and caught a glimpse of pink.

"Aww, the cat's going to be out of the bag so fast." He smirked and sat properly for the first time this week and threw in extra attention to the certain someone standing outside the door.

She couldn't believe her luck, to actually be accepted into this school along with her best friends just when they came back to Japan. She waited patiently as her limo arrived outside of the school. She got off the car and carried her bag over her shoulder. Her shoulder length pink bubble gum hair flew along with her movement while her golden honey eyes scanned the area for her friends and if possible, him. But then, there's no way that will happen as she sighed. She looked up once again and caught a glimpse of midnight blue. Wow, luck must have been with her. He seemed to have seen her as he threw a smirk at her direction. The girls around her all started blushing as they rushed to him, only she kept her profile low, bowing her head even more.

"Baka." She cursed him slightly under her breath and started to walk when she saw a pair of shoes stopping in front of her.

"Amu, what are you doing?" A familiar voice rang above her as she looked up to meet Tsukiyomi Utau's face, or more known as Hoshina Utau, the famous celebrity around the world.

"Nothing, just waiting around for you guys." She shrugged the matter off her head as she turned full attention to Utau.

"It's girls, not guys." Another voice appeared behind Utau, which belongs to Mashiro Rima, her blond hair flowed down to her waist and flew around as the wind blew.

"Ohaiyo." Amu greeted her other best friend as Rima took out a mirror and fixed her bangs.

"Amu-chii~, Ohaiyo!" Amu was attacked by a certain someone from behind as she struggled to stand back up. Utau and Rima sighed as they helped Yuiki Yaya and Amu up. Yaya looked at her scraped knee and tears started to form. The three of them immediately stuffed her with sweets to prevent her from causing a ruckus. Yaya's unstable emotions were always causing the three of them to panic.

"Nee, let's go to class." Amu leaded the group of four girls including her to the classroom. Isn't it good to be back at where you belonged?

"... As everybody already knows, every year, our most beloved principal would allow students to be transferred to our school, and so this year we shall welcome our fellow classmates who will be with us for this special year." Nikaido ended his speech as the students clapped their hands absentmindedly. Ignoring such a fact, he gave a signal for the four girls outside to enter the room. Everything went silent as the class stared at the group of girls who just stepped into the class. Each shining with a different radiance and having a different expression on them.

"Now then, please introduce yourself." He clapped his hands together, trying to bring the class back to reality. The girl standing at the most left took off her huge sunglasses and scanned the class before her sight landed on a certain guy, Souma Kukai. She cautiously took a step forward and started talking.

"Tsukiyomi Utau, or usually known as Hoshina Utau." She refused to continue as she took a step back. The whole class started murmuring as they knew her name.

"They have the same surname." Girl A says and threw Utau a glance.

"No way, but they do look alike." Girl B continued and stole a glance of Utau.

"Enough, everything shall be explained later." Nikaido threw both the girls each a glance and gave back his attention to the 4 girls. The second girl stood to the front, looking up and spoke, with her eyes on another guy, Fujisaki Nagihiko.

"Mashiro Rima, nice to be of your acquaintance." She bowed slightly before stepping back. Nagihiko is impressed by her 'nice' act.

"Hinamori Amu." Amu gave her name out and stood back, ignoring the stares of all guys.

"Name's Yuiki Yaya, nice to meet ya." Yaya hopped to the front and greeted everybody in her sweetest and cutest voice, causing half the guys to fall in love with her.

"That's all, I hope the all of you will get along with them..." Nikaido's speech continued on till the first bell rang as he exited the classroom and went straight to the teacher's room.

The first and second class went on perfectly, with the teachers introducing themselves to the four girls. Everything was perfect. The bell signalling the time for break rang and the teacher exited the room. Students stood up and started to pack their things up, guys had themselves going around the four new transfer students while the girls circled around Ikuto, Nagihiko, Kukai and Kairi. The four guys broke through the circle and went straight to the four new students.

"Can we have break together?" Ikuto invited them as he held his hand out, waiting for them to take it. The whole class stopped breathing as they took the scene in. Slowly, Amu placed her hand on top of his.
