"Who Is She?"

Chapter One: Yeah, life sucks

Life's hard

Everybody knows that fact, but when you're me you'll realize that life's harder.

I just didn't realized that it could be any harder

I guess I should start my story from the very beginning

It was just a normal Tuesday, y'know?

I woke up because of the vibration of my cell (alarm clocks just don't work) at four-freaking-am. Yes I wake up early, then I stretched for a while making sure that I would not be out of shape for today's events. Yawning, I took a towel and a bathrobe and proceeded to go to the bathroom where I bathed myself. I even remember using the strawberry shampoo I just bought yesterday. After taking a long bath, I dried my hair with a white towel. I then, took my ironed uniform from my closet.

.

I'm a detailed storyteller, sue me

Actually don't

.

Before you ask, I go to Nami-middle, I'm part of the female kick-ass race and I'm a freshman. So back to reminiscing *Cough* I put on my undergarments first, then my white blouse, buttoning each of them in front of the mirror, then my black spandex shorts under the skirt that followed (the skirt is longer). I rather avoid moments where my underwear could be seen because I tend to run and jump and- you get the point. I even have to spend ten minutes just to find my long white socks that reach my thighs (I'm conscious with my legs. Deal with it.) And another five minutes just to find my bag.

Just a little clarification, I am not messy

Just …

Alright I'm messy

My room is not really what you call average. I have five walls. The first wall has two shelves, one is full of books and the other is full of DVDs (I absolutely love movies!). The second wall is full of pictures, many pictures in fact. I'm a big fan of photography, arts in general really, that's the reason why the third wall is full of paintings, sketches and drawings. The fourth wall is where I have my large desk. And my fifth wall is a very big cabinet where I put my clothes. My bed is on the very middle of my pentagon shaped room. At first it may seem like it looks cool (which it is), but it actually makes you dizzy when you go to bed (which is so not cool).

Wait. Why am I even describing my room?

Anyway, I walked downstairs after getting ready. Putting my bag at the sofa, I made my way through the kitchen; I immediately took my apron from its hook and put it on. After eating breakfast (I made omelet! It was delish!) And drinking my usual hot chocolate I made sure I had all I needed for school.

Putting on the standard black shoes, I put my small umbrella inside my bag with my bottle of mineral water and looked at the mirror near the door.

I never really told you what I looked like

I have black hair which is on another messy bun; many of its strands are sticking out. I have a single streak of auburn hair (It's natural, don't ask, it's hereditary apparently). I have these green eyes (as in BRIGHT EMERALD green) and I still have my baby fat in my cheeks. I have a heart shaped face, with a normal nose, a normal pair of lips, eyes, and ears. I don't really wear jewelry apart from my small gold hoop earrings, which I always wear on a daily basis (It was passed down from my great grandma) and my techno watch. I'm about 5'3 and I have foreign features (since I'm not really whole Japanese). Just another average student.

.

Hah. Yeah Right.

.

Walking towards school was enjoyable. I left my house at six (classes doesn't start till seven). I said good morning to the people who were opening their shops (I'm a great customer?). I entered a bakery and bought croissants for lunch (I love bread *laughs*), preparing myself for another hectic Tuesday.

I passed by Tsuna's house on my way to school. Tsunayoshi Sawada or Tsuna for short is my best friend; I first met him on my very first day in Namimori. He's really cute (I have a weakness for cute things). I would never forget our meeting. I rang their doorbell and waited for someone to answer. I didn't have to wait too long since Nana (Tsuna's mom) instantly answered the door, already dressed.

"Good morning dear, Tsu-kun's still asleep; would you like to have some breakfast inside?" Nana asked me with a smile

"I already had some breakfast, Sawada-san, thank you for the offer nonetheless" I politely declined, with a sheepish grin

Somehow I can only call her Nana in my mind.

"How many times do I have to tell you to just call me mama?" She questioned me playfully, pouting slightly

"A little more it seems Sawada-san" I replied "Would you please tell Tsuna that I have gone ahead" I asked her, tilting my head a bit

"Of course dear, have a nice day" She said, her smile never leaving her face

"You too, Sawada-san"

At six-fifteen I was already in front of Namimori, Hibari Kyoya was once again in front of the gate, and looking out for anyone who would dare to cause havoc (He's the head of the Disciplinary committee, completely violent I tell you!). He gave me a nod of acknowledgement (which was hard to gain, since I was only a freshman) and I gave him a small smile in return, he ignored me after that.

Boys.

Instead of going to my classroom like what most students would do, I made my way to the girl's locker room, passing the soccer field and the baseball field. I changed into my P.E. uniform (a T-shirt and sweatpants). Yes I do not wear the small "shorts" every single female in this school wears; they don't even have the right to be called shorts anymore! Well I guess you're already wondering how I'm able to get away while breaking so many rules, with the skylark so near and all.

I'm the ace of the Track team

That's the reason

I give the school reputation, they give me comfort

I may be a bit manipulative…?

*Sheepish laugh*

I tied the soles of my running shoes after. I actually love running. I put my hair in a high ponytail and braided it before I stepped out. I grinned and made my way to the starting line; I breathed in and out and closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I started to run, making a sprint in the process. I felt like bird. I felt like I was soaring, flying, free from the world. At some point I felt like someone was watching me, but I ignored the feeling and still continued to sprint.

I spent fifteen minutes running around the track, breaking my old record in the process. I didn't even sweat much! After that I took another shower and put my previous uniform again. My hair was a bit wet when I stepped out, but I still put it on another messy bun. Going back to the main building, I again passed the soccer and baseball fields. The MVP of the baseball team, and my classmate, Takeshi Yamamoto was pitching in the field, he spotted me and waved, I gave a small nod of recognition (It was only polite). But between you and me, I don't like the guy. He's too nice; too helpful (I think it's all fake, the kindness I mean). But I admire him in terms of sports (Not like I ever watched his game before) Baseball is just confusing to me. All the terms about innings and all that…

Too troublesome

I changed into my indoor shoes once I stepped into the building. I ignored once again the letters in my locker, just like I did for the previous days. I still did not go to the classroom. I turned at the first left of the second floor, and made my way through the library. I'm a total bookworm! I love fictional novels so much that I even tend to get to arguments with my fellow club members. You see I'm not just the ace of the Track team

I'm also the President of the Literary Club

Oh don't be confused, you can always choose two clubs in Namimori, I was hesitating between the Arts Club and the Literary Club at first. But when the new sets of books arrived, I immediately chose the Literary Club. I was a bit bumped since I did not choose the Arts club (Why did I have to get tempted by books?!), but it was alright, I was happy with the club I chose. Now being part of the track team was not in the plan, it was because of the incident on the first of day of school. Because of having an auburn streak in my hair, I completely stood out. Let's just say when a certain Hibari Kyoya looked at me (more like my hair). All hell broke loose. With those tonfas he ran towards me, saying that dying my hair is against policy. Obviously, he didn't listen to any explanations so I had to run, all around the school (I'm proud to say that I lost him in the process). The captain of the track team saw the whole thing, made some arrangements (more like blackmailing) and the rest is history.

Oh! Right, sorry. I almost forgot another detail you might be asking. Before all of this (hesitating between what clubs to choose) I already joined my first club, The Drama Club, the Theater as some would call. My grandma was "The Great Amanda Fuzokushi", the greatest actress of her generation. And apparently the love for acting did not diminish in my blood.

But back to what happened earlier, I opened the library at six thirty, just on time, I was not surprised to see my sempai already there, arranging books and whatnot.

His name is Kukai Karino, he was supposed to be the president but he declined the position since he said that he would be leaving for the States before the year ends. He has this messy blonde hair with blue eyes (he's a bit popular, I don't why he is). He actually was the one who said that I should be the president after seeing my hard work (I was so flattered back then, still am). When he noticed me, he grinned

"Yo, Prez!" He greeted me with the nickname the club used for me. I used my default expression, he laughed at that.

"Karino-sempai" I greeted back with a nod

"How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Kukai-kun" He asked me, pouting as if I just hurt him

Woah, Déjà vu , didn't somebody asked me something similar earlier?

.

Nah..

I gave him a "Never" expression, he laughed before messing my hair (Dude, he was sooo in my Hate list now, nobody touches the hair!)

"Hey, yesterday, Mia and Sora were arguing whether Twilight or The Hunger Game was the best, what do you think?" he told me behind some shelves.

Mia Takenuchi and Sora Hanazono were both second years, both are also members of the Literary Club, real otakus and smart students, but they're obviously wasting their time arguing about pointless things

It was obvious that Harry Potter is the best.

When I voiced out my opinion, he laughed and said that I was surely someone unique. I grumbled because he kept touching my hair. I left him the key (of the library) and took the apple that was on the table and left.

I heard a shout of "Where's my last apple!" and smirked,

At six forty-five I was still on the go. I climbed to the third staircase and turned to my right. I was going to the student council this time. I'm a very busy person, let's leave it at that. I'm not only the Ace the of the Track team and The President of the Literary Club

I'm also part of the Student Council

The treasurer, actually

As usual I was still the first one in the room. I spent ten minutes managing money, signing papers, the norm. Being part of the Student Council is actually quite easy (as long as you're not the President), the student council consists of the President (a senior), the Vice President (a junior), the Secretary (a sophomore) and little old me (who's only a freshman). It was just a coincidence that I became a part of the group while the other members were already there for at least two years. We don't really do much now that I think about it. Our president is a slacker, our vice president is a former yankee and the secretary is a gamer

You must think I'm some Mary-sue or something.

Well I'm not

I still get tired. I'm just not used to being not busy. It gives time to think and when I think, I remember, and that's what I'm avoiding. I actually take tablets of Iron and Vitamin Cs to let me make it through the day (something I hide, even from Tsuna) and sometimes even more than necessary.

I'm getting out of track again

As I was saying, all of that happened even before class started (And I still have rehearsals for the school play later!) So with that I finally returned to my own classroom, Class 1-A. Sasagawa Kyoko, the school's idol immediately rushed to me, her eyebrows scrunched together.

She called my name and I remembered that she needs some help about homework.

"Homework explanation Kyoko-chan?" She hated it when I didn't call her by her by her own name; she shook her head violently from side to side.

'I think Sawada-san just made a joke and I couldn't laugh!' she said instead

I gave her my best blank face. I did not understand.

'I mean, he was wearing just boxers and then he asked me to go out with him, and I called him hentai… Oh no, he wouldn't get offended, would he?' She gave her worried face.

I smirked

'Finally! He finally decided to ask her out… though he could have done it with an alternative method, anyway knowing Tsuna, he'll be too embarrassed after this… seriously though, in his boxers? So I just have to say something so that he won't be awkward with her '

"Just forget about it Kyoko. Just say to him that you didn't get his joke. You just sometimes don't know how to laugh, that's all. I mean, I don't think Tsuna would get offended at you."

As per usual, she didn't get my implication.

You see, Sasagawa Kyoko is very very cute, has a bright personality and also innocent. These are the reason why the rest of the school (including Tsuna) likes her. Her only fault is that she is very naïve and oblivious (which just adds to her charm).

"Oh, that's good. But I don't think I'm ready to talk to him yet… Maybe after school." She seemed to look better now

"That's fine, that's fine…" As long as she would still talk to him then it's fine

The bell rang after our conversation. Everyone returned back to their seats. After waking up again at four am, I decided to have forty winks or what someone else would call a little rest. The thing is I'm a very light sleeper when I get up early and vice versa. So when Tsuna entered and the jeers started, I immediately woke up impatient and cranky.

"QUIET!" I shouted at them, the class obeyed, their first time seeing me furious.

I was sleepy, I was cranky and I was pissed

And worst of all they were making fun of Tsuna!

The said person gave me a look of gratitude and I smiled at him a little, Kyoko did the same thing and I also grinned at her, still a bit tired

Then one of Tsuna's more friendly acquaintances (a round guy, he's an okay guy. He liked food more than girls and he's a great Home EC partner) saw it fit to tell him news that made me flowing with more anger.

"Tsuna, Mochida-sempai says that he wants to fight you after class in the gym."

Tsuna visibly froze still and his face turned ten shades of white while still glancing at Kyoko now and then. His gaze flickered towards me as well. I was worried about him.

My face turned into a grimace

I groaned in my brain while composing myself outside, I need to know what I should do, think of some plan, something!

Looking at Tsuna and his constipated expression, I sighed to myself.

Kurokawa Hana was saying really loudly (I think she's enjoying this) about how Mochida was going to get revenge and win over Kyoko with his manliness. Kyoko, who was blushing furiously, was just trying to protest with "N-no! We're only in the same committee!"

Ugh I remember having a migraine

.

Poor Tsuna

.

Poor Kyoko

.

Poor Me!

.

I looked at Tsuna, he still has this constipated look at his face. I sighed again. The teacher finally entered the classroom (could you be any later?) and lessons finally started.

First period was Science, I completely nailed the subject. Second period was Math, I actually like Mathematics, (but I immensely despise Algebra), I yawned through the Pop quiz they gave us. Half dozed through English (I got a one hundred on my English test; I'm a little perfectionist sometimes). And just sketched anime figures through geography (This I despise thoroughly). Woke up for awhile for morning break to eat my croissants with Tsuna (who was near crying, he even said something about hit man babies and something about a mafia) then going back to the library to get the papers I needed to submit to the President. I, then half listened to my teachers as they rambled. I got this wonderful talent of looking like I'm listening but not really doing so. Throughout the day I didn't copied any notes (I guess I have to borrow someone's again (Don't judge, I'm still a teen guys).

Just like that and we finally finished our classes. I told Tsuna I would meet him there at the gym and give him support later since I still have to go to the drama club to get my role for the upcoming play (which is Alice in Wonderland, who in the world voted for that?). And guess what, I took the main role. Yay. (I hope you sense the sarcasm) I actually need to stay for the rest of the meeting or else Yui-sensei (the club advisor) would get mad but Tsuna really needs the support.

.

'I'll never leave you Tsuna, since I know you would do the same for me'

.

Looks like I'm ditching the strictest sensei in Namimori just for my best friend.

*Sigh*

I ran towards the match, it seemed that Mochida said something since Kyoko looked affronted and Hana said that he was a jerk. When they told me what he said, I was pretty sure I was raging with hatred. (again)

He's such a pig!

When the "jerk" finished saying the rules of the match he just started charging at Tsuna (he didn't even warned him!) Yamamoto grabbed a bamboo sword and threw it at Tsuna, who caught it awkwardly, looked at Mochida and started running away.

Tsuna is my best friend and all but I have to agree that he's sometimes comical. It somehow looked like a game of tag. With Tsuna running away and the "jerk" following him, well until Tsuna tripped and the poser raised his sword (trying to look cool? Psh) for dramatic effect. And before I knew it Kyoko and I chorused one line

"Tsuna-kun! Do your best!"

"Sawada-kun! Do your best!"

We looked at each other before grinning. Kyoko was just a friend but it seemed like we could be best friends. Most of the people were kind of surprised that we cheered for "Dame-Tsuna" , including Tsuna himself.

The next thing was so bizarre.

It looked like a bullet shot Tsuna. He looked like he was dead. It sent shivers down my spine. I could feel my eyes tearing up. It looked, felt, and is real. Then he started glowing and his clothes got ripped into shreds while Tsuna did like, fifty flips in the air yelling 'REEEBOOOOOOORN! Beat Mochida-sempai with my Dying Will!'

I blinked. I was like

"What in the-"

I stared at Tsuna. That… was odd. I mean, his shirt just ripped off!

And don't get me started on how his pants fell off.

I'm speechless

What in the-?

Though…

Heh. I laughed a bit.

That was kind of funny now that I think about it.

Tsuna ripped his opponent's hair one by one. That has got to hurt. Even though there was nothing funny about the whole predicament, I laughed and smiled like there was no tomorrow, a real smile, something I haven't used for a long time. When Tsuna looked at me, he blushed before mouthing some words that made me retain my smile

"I did it! Thank you!" He grinned with a boyish grin, and if he wasn't my best friend already I would have said that I could have fallen in love with him at that very same moment.

But I'm his best friend, so I didn't

Hah.

I left the gymnasium quietly; I still had to go to the drama club.

I am proud to say that I'm proud of Tsuna. Walking to my locker; I again ignored those horrid letters, putting them inside my bag. I'm actually a very likeable person if I do say myself, but I'm not perfect and let's just say that those guys (More like girls) who wrote the letters in my bag could only see my faults.

Whatever, I ran till I reached the clubroom. Peeking inside the door, I saw Yui sensei instructing everyone sternly.

Yui Nakamura or Yui-sensei, is the strictest teacher in Namimori (maybe even the whole world), she's actually quite pretty, but with an attitude and a mouth like knives to boot. You don't even wanna mess with her. She used to be a stage actress but because of an injury, she stopped and decided teaching. One wrong move and she'll criticize you like crazy! I shivered; I'm not even ashamed to say that I'm scared of her. But the thing is she's also kind of my favorite teacher.

I won't go to details on what happened before we started rehearsing. Let's just say I got a much bruised ego by the end of it and I'm never eating tomatoes again (I kind of doubt that). The rehearsal lasted till five pm. The scriptwriters made a lot of twists. There was now going to be romance in the play. But the thing is, we lack male actors, so we are going to have auditions for the one playing the prince on Thursday (Since no one seemed right), Screening the script, I saw that they added a lot of fights, drama, and a kissing scene.

WAIT. A kissing scene?!

OH HELL NO.

I never even had a boyfriend before! (But that's beside the point)

When I asked the head scriptwriter about the kissing scene, she just laughed sheepishly saying it was a way to get more customers interested.

I think I turned to a stone for a few minutes.

Even if the news unsettled me I still had to complete my tasks for today. I sighed once again. Once I left and finished my library shifts, student council duties and track practice, I begrudgingly walked home. I think I saw Hibari (does he never leave the gate?) raising an eyebrow at my peculiar behavior.

And he cares now?

I walked through a supermarket before going home. I saw a teenager that most teens these days would call a "heartthrob". He has this silver hair that looks like octopus tentacles and green eyes (just like mine, but his has a different shade). He's dressed like a rebel. And for a moment, even I thought he looked cool (well that was until he started smoking).

I brought some canned foods, eggs and some milk from the supermarket. When I got out, I saw that the guy with silver hair fed a stray cat. It was actually quite sweet. The cat leaped away to the road and the guy tried to catch it, he didn't saw the incoming truck (How could he not saw it?). I turned serious and my instincts just took over. It was like slow- motion (y'know like the movies). I took the sleeve of his jacket pulling him near me, he turned around surprised. I stared at his eyes and he stared into mine until the truck left.

But this is not some shoujo manga

So I coughed and broke the awkward silence. So yeah, I was glad that the cats were safe, but due to embarrassment I just squeaked a bye and left. I felt a stare on my back but I didn't looked back well until he called me (It was pure instinct, I swear!)

"Oi" I heard him, I never heard his voice before but I was positive that it was his. I stopped walking (more like running) before looking over my shoulder, not entirely facing him.

"Yeah?" And then he smiled, one of those smiles that makes girls have butterflies in their stomach (I just didn't felt the butterflies)

"Thanks" He said, I smiled cheekily

"No problem, I just did what any other person would have done" He chuckled at that. I started walking away, waving my hand in the process.

Well he seemed like an Okay guy. (Not really, he smoked, just like him)

When I was about to turn another corner, I bumped into someone tall.

It was Takeshi Yamamoto.

Seriously? I have the worst luck; couldn't I just go home in peace?

"Yamamoto-san" I nodded at him, already in the process of leaving him

He took my wrist before I could even make one step, making me tumble back.

"You're hurt" He said looking at my ankle

Woah. I didn't realized that I had a gash,

Wait. How did I even have one?

And before I knew it, Takeshi Yamamoto was already carrying me bridal style. WT-?

"Hey! Put me down this instant, Yamamoto-san!" I said embarrassed, not because the school jock was carrying me but because if somebody I know even saw me, my reputation is ruined.

That and the rumors

And this is just plain embarrassing.

Yamamoto ignored me and just grinned (Could he not understand my situation!)

"So where do you live?" He asked me, I sighed and gave up. I told him my address and I had to hold onto his neck because he instantly sprinted. My ten minute walk became a thirty second ride.

I think I'm seeing stars

He put me down while scratching his back sheepishly. I tried standing straight even though I felt like vomiting.

"T-thank you, Yamamoto-san, would you like to have supper as thanks for the… um… ride?" I stuttered since I still felt dizzy (It was only polite to offer)

"Haha, maybe next time, my old man's already prepared supper for me. But maybe you could do me a favor as a repayment" His eyes twinkled as he said the last part

That was so wrong in so many levels

"And what would that be Yamamoto-san?" I asked (I still felt like vomiting)

"Call me by my first name from now own" He said, "Yamamoto-san makes me feel so old"

"I'll try?" I replied not quite so sure myself.

He left after complimenting my house. This day is so exhausting. I opened my door, locked it and took off my shoes

My house is quite normal (as normal as it can get). I had three stories, apart from the obvious rooms, (which are the kitchen bedroom, bathroom, and the norm) I also have a small garden at the back, and a study and a training area (don't ask what it's for). Let's just say that my house is complicated. (Just like my life is)

I still felt like vomiting

When I opened the lights, I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't scream (And it hurt A LOT). Because sitting on my sofa while drinking a decaf is a baby in a tux.

"Ciaossu Sakura Aoi"

And then I did the most reasonable thing

.

I fainted.


AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hey! This is my very first KHR fanfic. (So be nice!) I guess this is a new project; I'm still trying to broaden my writing skills. There would be a lot of OCs since my main character is an OC in here; I'm trying to make an OC not Mary Sue-ish but still hardworking, charismatic, the norm when it comes to female characters. I guess that's my new project! Don't be too harsh on criticizing this story (Please?). Oh and to whomever would say that nobody could have these too many responsibilities then you're wrong, because I modeled the character from someone who is very real. Um so my dear readers, I would only update this if I receive amount of readers (since I don't even know IF some does read this) and frankly I don't know IF it is worth continuing (tell me what you think), reviews are highly appreciated, tell your preferred pairing in your reviews (with the OC of course) and we'll see what happens next.

Ciao for now!

Light.
