Disclaimer: Well i don't own anything Sailor Moon related or Strawberry Panic related either. (grins)
Summary: This is a story of the new transfer student Rei Hino and how her life is about to get turned upside down as she dives into the adventures held within the walls of Astraea Hill All girl's school Academy. The characteristics of the characters are based off of PGSM but the characters still have there looks from the anime. The plot is semi like Strawberry Panic. Don't worry you don't have to watch Strawberry Panic to understand this, but i highly recommend it to those yuri fans out there.
Chapter 1
The cherry blossom trees flourish in their own majestic beauty as a pensive stranger passes under the tree's pink pedals. It would be a picturesque moment if it weren't for a depressed sigh that escaped the mysterious stranger's inner lament. At that moment a strong gust of wind passes through the narrow pathway created by the rows of beautiful cherry blossom tress. The fallen pedals disseminate as if the sky was snowing pink, but even as the showy display of blossoms danced around the enigmatic figure they didn't seem to care. As the sun rose above the trees and shines the figure in light you could see the obvious features of a graceful girl with a beauty that almost seemed unnatural, but also the most natural thing at the same time. Though the attractiveness of the girl would never go unnoticed there was something in her eyes, a certain loneliness.
'When did this happen?' the girl whispers to herself inwardly. "The cherry tree's leaves having their colors slowly fade…when did it happen? It feels as if the cherry trees have lost their fragrance…'
Soon, you can hear the school bell ring in the distance, but the graceful girl, whose waterfall of blonde hair cascade down her back, showed her wanton disregard by leaning back against a cherry tree and letting her sapphire eyes droop. Her feckless behavior will soon be rewarded…
I look out the car window, the images around me blurring as we speed by them. The sun looms over the peaceful town, but when I look towards the place in the distance at the top of the tallest hill there rests a place that is said to be like no other. This place is only known by one name, Astraea Hill Academy, my new home…or shall I say prison.
I sigh as the seemingly endless car ride ends and the image before me leaves me with an absolute dreadful foreboding. It's a giant steel gate that looks like it's made to keep something out or better yet keep something in and that fact alone fills me with apprehension.
A rough cough that was obviously made to grab my attention pulls me out of my weary thought. I turn to focus my eyes on the man in the driver's seat of the unmoving car. He had cut off the ignition and is just sitting there. It seems that the time to say our goodbyes has finally come, but our farewells are nothing like those of crying parents, begging their children to take care of themselves and to call whenever they have a chance.
The raven haired man whom I call father is probably the least likely to ever ask me to call if something bad happens. When he looks at me it's not a look of caring, but a look of painful nostalgia. With black bags under his violet, tired eyes, and a hardened scowl that appears to never leave his impassive face, he turns to me seated in the passenger seat.
"Rei, I expect you to be good and nothing less than the best student," my father says to me in a monotone voice. "And don't be a problem for the teachers," he pauses and looks away from me and out the window. "Like how you are to me."
He seems to be done saying his final words because he reaches into the back seat to get my back pack, most of my things had already been delivered. His comments may be harsh, but I barely flinch as his words sink in. I have gotten used to them. I know he may come off as a total bastard, but he hasn't always been like that. It all started when my mother died, but then again that's a story for another time.
I take the bag he hands me and open my door to get out of the car and step out. Before I shut the door of the expensive BMW I turn around to face the shell of the man I use to love with all my heart.
"…Of course father," I whisper a reply softly to his painful words as my violet eyes mirror his own impassive ones. With those few words I close the door to the car he most likely loves more than his own daughter, wave to him goodbye, and watch as he drives off leaving me in this hell hole.
I turn my back on the retreating form of my father's car and finally face the intimidating steel gates that hold my future within. So you're probably wondering who I am. My name's Rei Hino and this is my story about the unexpected in which ever form it might take, friendship, enemies…and love.
With a sigh I take my first steps onto uncharted territory. Then I look up and notice that I'm just at the base of Astraea hill and guess what? The school just so happens to be at the top of said hill. I look at my watch and scowl. I'm going to be late and nothing brings more attention than the new kid showing up late to class.
Rolling my eyes I sling my bag over my band t-shirt clad shoulder and start my trek up the paved road. Why my father couldn't have driven me straight to the school I can only guess.
Catching my breath after the long uphill journey I scold myself for being way out of shape. I can finally see the school coming into view as other students in different uniforms swarm towards the school building with their school bags in hand. I notice there are girls in several different uniforms around me.
There are a couple girls sending looks my way and giggling dressed in pink sailor fukas with yellow cream colored sleeves and pink plaid skirts and then two girls also walking along the path were dressed in another uniform. Their uniforms are a little less cutesy and a little more sophisticated. They had white uniforms that consisted of collared light blue shirts with a white sweater vest over it and a brownish plaid bow to finish it off. Then finally there was one last uniform that absolutely left me stunned, while the skirts on the other uniforms stopped around mid thigh these only stopped at the knees. It's an elegant black dress with a white lacy outlining alone the cuffs, collar, and the bottom. This one was finished off with a green tie that just made it all the prettier. This one was not only sophisticated, but made who ever wore it seem to hold a special grace that is not easily found.
As I took in the sight of all these students in I fail to pay attention to where I'm going and step off the path and tumble down this tiny slant. As I pick myself off the ground I notice I'm surrounded by trees and I absolutely have no idea how to get back to the path. So I do the only thing that came to mind. I brush the dirt off my jeans and start walking. I mean the forest can't be that big can it?
I can't believe I got lost. Ok, scratch that. I can believe I got lost. I have a horrible sense of direction. I stumble around some cherry blossoms. Then I hear a crack and find myself falling forward. Oh yeah along with my horrible sense of direction there's my almost non-existent sense of balance. Those where my last thoughts as every thing in my line of vision goes black the last thing I see is a main of the most golden blonde hair.
The feeling of a gentle pressure on my lips draws me from my sleep. "Hmm," I hear myself saying in a pleasant soft moan as my eyes flutter open, a throbbing resounding from where I'm sure I fell on my head, and the light seeps through my eyes. Taking in my surroundings I can't help, but gasp at what I see. All around me there were beautiful cherry blossom trees, but that is by far the most prominent thing to catch my eye. That would be the blonde leaning over me with her lips pressed against mine so gently I had to check twice if she was really kissing me. She's leaning against a tree and is by far the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her gorgeousness puts the blossoms to shame and I can't help but wonder what her eyes look like. Then I fully awaken and notice where exactly I am, which just so happens to be in this beautiful girl's lap. God hates me.
As I get up to move ever so slightly her eyes flicker open and what I see makes my breathing hitch. Eyes bluer than I have ever seen stare back at me. Why I'm not freaking out that this random…beautiful girl is kissing me I do not know. Maybe it's just the soothing aura around her that just seemingly lulls me to peace.
"It's good to see your ok," the girl whispers quietly so that I barely catch what she said. Her voice is heavenly and it seems to hypnotize me. I'm so engrossed in everything about this girl that all realistic thought leave me and I can't help but think this girl's an angel.
"U-um y-yeah," I say unintelligently. Did I just stutter? Oh my god I just stuttered, the great Hino Rei stuttering? We mustn't let this get out it could ruin my reputation as an international bad ass. My own stuttering voice seems to break this trance I'm in and I it finally dawns on me. "W-what? Why d-did you just…" I die off and I can't help, but blush at the thought of the kiss. The angel girl seems to notice how flustered I am and gives a smirk and I swear if I wasn't lying in this girl's lap my legs would have given out. "W-what happened?" The sides of her mouth pull and her impossibly large smirk widens.
"Why don't you tell me? I just found you like this," this mystery girl says again in her impossibly alluring voice. As I'm once again at a lost for words I look deep into her eyes. She's looking at me with such calculating eyes that it feels like she's reading me like a book. Then it finally hit me that she had asked me a question.
"I'm a new transfer student," I state simply as I dare not look away from her enticing sapphire eyes. She looks thoughtful as I say this and she gives me a look as to say continue. "And…I got lost," I mutter looking away to the side in a failed attempt to hide my blush. What is my problem? I'm Hino Rei. I do not blush.
"Hmm, than I'm going to need to help you then aren't I," Even though it's just simple words coming from her mouth they have an undertone of sensual seduction as she gives me a lazy yet stunning smile. I realize that I don't even know her name yet. So I voice my question in the simplest way possible.
"Who are you?" I ask simply when all of a sudden a way of dizziness overcame me and every thing starts to go black again, but before I pass out I see one thing, her eyes. Her stunning blue eyes that made me feel like I was drowning in an ocean of sorrow. They held a certain sadness that made my heart clench in I way I didn't think was possible.

Love, Mars Reiko
