Let's get started.


Seidou High School; a place known for their sports, especially baseball. Ironically, baseball is the one thing that Rin never wanted to have anything to do with ever again. Well, that and people in general.

"So, Ms. Sato, Rin I see that you have lived abroad in America for your junior high career and high school up until now correct?" the principal asked staring at the girls transfer form.

"Yes sir, that would be correct," she responded in tone as if to say 'obviously, that's what the paper says'.

"Alright, do you mind if I ask why you changed to Seidou a month into the school year?" he asked choosing to ignore the girls tone.

"Well you see my mother pa-," she stopped. "I mean, circumstances arose and I had to come stay with my father, but since he's never home and is the chairman of the school board, we decided that it'd be best for me to stay here in a dorm," Rin finished once she had corrected herself.

"I see. Well, there is one more matter I'd like to address before I let you go. You see because of your name we assumed that you were going to be a male student, since we only knew of the chairman having a son. And because of our assumption, we roomed with you a male student. Now, I've talked with your father on the subject. He said that he isn't concerned and, as long as you were fine with it, we would leave it this way at least until semester," the principal explained to her, waiting for a response.

She inwardly groaned, this was just great. "I'll be fine with it. I'm more than capable of handling myself against a male student if needed. May I go now?"

"Yes, you may go. Here's your schedule and your room key. Your father put in a 'request' that you be put on the baseball team as a manager, so if you'd please go by the head coaches office before the end of today that would be fantastic," he finished handing her the stuff and signaled that she could leave.

She left the principal's office and headed out onto the grounds. Looking around she could really tell how focused the school was on sports. Everywhere she looked there were different kinds of sports jerseys to be seen and different kinds of balls along with some other equipment. While caught in her musings, she failed to notice someone nearing her until they collided. "Oof!" they both said when they hit the ground in surprise. "Ah! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" a female voice said to Rin as she sat up.

Looking in front of her she saw the source of the voice; a girl also on the ground looking at her with concern. "Yeah I'm fine, what about you?" Rin asked, getting up and offering the girl a hand.

"Oh, Im okay. I'm really sorry about bumping into you, I couldn't see over all the stuff I was carrying," she said taking Rin's hand and then gesturing to the multiple boxes that were scattered on the ground from their collision.

"It's fine I wasn't paying attention where I was going."

They both bent down and began to pick up some of the boxes. "Oh, no. You dont have to help me, I'll be fine on my own!" the girl exclaimed as she saw Rin helping to pick up boxes.

"It's fine, it's not like I have anywhere to be anyways. Just let me help you take these wherever they need to go. Besides, if someone doesn't help you, who knows how many more people or thing's you'll bump into," Rin said as she adjusted the boxes in her now full arms.

"In that case, thank you. My name is Yoshikawa Haruno. I'm a first year. It's nice to meet you," she said as she extended her hand from under the boxes she was carrying.

Ignoring Haruno's hand, Rin introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you as well. My name is Rin Sato, and I'm also a first year."

"Eh? You're a first year too? Why haven't I seen you before? With the purple hair, I know I wouldn't forget seeing you," Haruno asked confused.

"I just transferred here from my school in America. This is my first day. Since it's sunday, I haven't had any classes. By the way, where are we taking these?" Rin asked as she adjusted the boxes in her arms.

"We're taking these to the baseball fields. They've got a bunch of the new helmets and other equipment in them for our upcoming game against Yakushi in two weeks," Haruno explained as the turned towards the entrance of the baseball fields.

Well this is just fantastic. I mean, I know I was going to have to go to them eventually, but I was hoping to postpone as long as possible. She sighed.

"Is everything alright Rin-chan?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about how I needed to come here later anyway."

"Eh? If you don't mind me asking, why would you have to come here later?" Haruno asked, looking at Rin.

"Well you see I-"

"Hey! Haruno, it's about time you got back with all that. Come on. The coach and players are waiting on this stuff so they can end practice," shouted a girl that Rin assumed to be a manager due to her young age and lack of uniform.

"Oh darn! I dropped the stuff so many times that I'm late now. Come one Rin-chan. We need to hurry!" Haruno exclaimed and took off jogging with boxes in hand forcing Rin to follow.
