Konnichiwa! I know you all missed me :D (Just say you did :|

I've finally gotten around to making the first chapter of 'The White Rose'! Yay! It turned out amazingly better than I had originally thought since when I started typing the only thing I knew to put down was 'Shana' and the rest of it was pretty much a blank...

Just so that you don't get confused, this story starts a week after Shana was released from the hospital(coma) :]

So Enjoy! Onegai!


Shana woke up to the sound of an alarm clock going off. She sat up so fast that she nearly toppled forward, but catching herself before that happened.

She jumped out of her bed and stormed over to the window, each step turning into a stomp as it drew closer. The glass of the window nearly shattered from the force that she opened it with. She took in a deep breath.

"SHUT IT OFF!" Shana yelled at the top of her lungs so that her voice could reach through the walls of the neighboring apartment.

Apparently someone moved in to the apartment next to hers about a week or two before she woke up from the coma. Within a couple of days that person, who turned out to be a young man who's probably in college, engraved it in his mind to turn his alarm clock off right after he woke up. He wasn't going to die over an alarm clock. Not today not tomorrow.

The man, who's name is Mibosha, stumbled out of bed and flew over to his alarm clock. Much to his horror the dumb thing wouldn't turn off. He started to hit the 'snooze' button on the top of the alarm clock as his panic level was rising. He could feel her anger boiling from across the street.

How the heck does she hear it anyway? That's what he asks himself most of the times he gets awoken by her voice, but he never really has enough time to think of an answer before he's either running from her death grip or running late for his college classes.

The clock still wouldn't turn off after he started stomping on it with his foot. Why did this thing want to kill him? It will if it doesn't stop that annoying alarm. Maybe this was karma trying to get him for something, but what was that something? He never did anything bad to have karma. Most likely it's God showing his wonderful sense of humor. Oh but Mibosha was not laughing, and soon he wouldn't be breathing either if he doesn't shut the stupid alarm clock off.

He heard a loud noise come from the flame haze's apartment, but he couldn't make it out since it sounded so distant in the background. Everything from that point was a blur, although he could make out three things that he did.

He grabbed the alarm clock.

Walked over to the window.

Put all of his strength into the arm with the hand that was holding the alarm clock, and then he chucked it out the window with so much force that it basically shattered upon impact with the concrete sidewalk below his window. Pedestrians going about their normal day stopped and turned their heads hearing the clock hit the ground.

Mibosha dared to look up and his whole body turned to stone as he awaited some kind of impact from the girl across the street apartment who happened to be looking back at him with a glare that would make the devil cower away with his tail between his legs.

Then she turned and walked away from the window as if nothing happened.

Saying he was relieved is an understatement, he was well beyond that point. He didn't die! He felt like jumping around and running around, but got a glance at his wrist watch to see he was going to be very late for class if he didn't get ready now. 'Man, now I have to buy a new alarm clock' he thought grudgingly as he walked over to the window again. Looking down he slightly winced seeing the clock scattered about in a million pieces, that could have been him!

Surprisingly Mibosha has talked to Shana in person before, and unlike what he had expected, she was rather nice and more polite than he had imagined. However within the last few days he made a engrave of fear on the back of his eye balls to not wake her up at anytime before 8 o'clock in the morning.

Shana may be rather nice when your talking to her later in the day, but she is not a morning person. Never has been and probably never will be he concluded.

Speaking of the flame haze she had already climbed back into bed, and was currently waiting for sleep to take over.

And waiting...

And waiting...

She tossed and turned in her bed trying to find a comfortable position so that she would fall right to sleep, but no matter what she couldn't get back to that lovely dream she was having before being rudely awakened by that abomination of an alarm clock.

Shana turned to see her clock, thank God there wasn't an alarm feature on it, and it read; 5:23 A.M.

She had been trying to fall back to sleep for more than an hour now. Figuring she probably wouldn't either.

Shana peeled the covers off her body and then got up to go into the living room section of her apartment, groaning all the way. Upon arrival of her destination she curled up on the couch and turned the T.V on. Maybe something on the television would help her fall asleep. Any hopes of that were quickly crushed as she saw absolutely nothing on. No wonder people never wake up in the early morning there's nothing to watch on T.V!

Everything looked and was boring, and you would think that would be perfect to make you fall asleep. Well it wasn't working for Shana as the programs were so boring that she couldn't get to sleep watching them.

She sighed before getting up and heading for her bedroom. Grabbing some change of clothes she walked like a zombie into the bathroom to take a shower. If she wasn't going to get any sleep than she might as well get ready for the day.

After getting freshened up she headed into the kitchen. Opening the fridge she gabbed the milk carton out of it, poured the white liquid into a glass and then returned the carton back to it's rightful place.

As she drank down the glass full of milk she pondered what she could do next.

She couldn't call anyone since they were all asleep probably, and what would she say to?

Thinking of her options she decided to just go for a walk along the river. Putting the now empty glass into the sink and grabbing her coat, she was out the door.


Shana walked along the riverbank taking in the beautiful sight. The moon was still high in the sky, and it glowed brilliantly against the black background. The light from the moon illuminated the city as the stars effulgent-ed on the black sky.

The moon was full and shined down toward the river as the water reflected the glow causing there to be a long and big streak of silver-ish white on the top of the water.

It was beautiful. The only word to describe it.

Shana was so caught up in the scenery that she didn't even hear the footsteps approaching until something hot touched her cheek.

She yelped in surprise and upon instinct she jumped back a couple of feet away from the source of the heat. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she saw it was Yoshida holding a hot drink. The brown haired girl had that same perfectly happy smile she always has.

"Don't sneak up on me like that" Shana started relaxing now, knowing she wasn't going to have to fight someone. That, however, would be unlikely because ever since she fell into that coma Whilhelmenia, Yuji along with a lot of other flame haze's were taking care of the remaining Tomogaras and Denizens. 'Remaining' considering Hecate along with Sydonay and Bel Peol were all killed in the battle before Shana collapsed.

Everyone is still confused about it till this day. Nobody threw those final strikes to the three of them, nobody there killed them. To be honest Yuji's side of the fight was the weaker, and if it had not been for what had happened then Yuji, Whilhelmenia, Satou, Tanaka, Yoshida and some others who joined in to help would have all been killed.

Flashback:

In the midst of battle when there wasn't much hope left everyone was astonished to see a black cloaked figure land behind the three enemies. Yuji's immediate thought was the that person was the leader of all the denizens and tomogaras. He stayed strong and kept fighting though, if he was going to die then he was going to die fighting.

But he didn't have a chance to land another blow.

The figure cloaked in black pulled out a weapon and that's when Hecate and the other two turned around to fight that person. Yuji couldn't believe his eyes, that person that mysterious person was dodging every single attack thrown at them with ease. As if it was the easiest thing in the world, the speed was incredible!

The weapon slashed through Hecate and the other two in one easy swing. Yuji saw that whatever the weapon was it must have cost a fortune, there was gold here and there and the rest was black save for a couple of gems.

There was a blinding light and then everyone fell to the ground unconscious.

Yuji woke up and quickly made sure everyone was alright. Whilhelmenia along with everyone else, except Shana, were already awake and moving.

Whilhelmenia looked over to where the battle had just taken place and couldn't help but gasp at the sight. Everyone else followed suit, but only a couple gasped.

Hecate, Sydonay and Bel Peol were all laying on the ground, each in a puddle of crimson red blood. Dead.

Nobody could believe it. How this one person could kill their three toughest enemies in just one battle. But that's exactly what happened.

Getting over their shock, Shana was carried back to her apartment still unconscious. That was the start of her year long sleep. After she had been unconscious for more than a month, Yuji thought of it best to put her in the hospital in case she suffered internal injuries. Once all the necessary tests had been done the doctor told them unexpected news. She was perfectly healthy on the inside, the only injuries she sustained were cuts along her arms and legs. Basic battle wounds.

They were all relieved, but were still really worried about her. If she hadn't had any internal injuries then why won't she wake up already?

For the next year she stayed in that same bed, in that same position with that same peaceful face.

:End.

"Gomen" Yoshida apologized as she handed the drink over to the flame haze. "You looked a little cold so I got one for you too"

"Arigatou" Shana took hold of the small hot can and quickly opened it before taking a sip. She just now realized how cold she really was.

"It's awfully early, what are you doing out at this hour?"

The flame haze walked over to the side of the river which had lots of grass growing there. She sat down and took another sip of her drink.

"I couldn't get to sleep for some reason so I came out for a walk" She said once Yoshida had sat down next to her. The grass swayed as a light breeze blew. The brown haired girl could now see how tired Shana looked and she noticed how tired her voice sounded when she spoke.

"Too much on your mind maybe?" Kazumi wondered as she turned and asked the flame haze with a small smile.

"Maybe.."

"So what are you doing out here?" Shana asked, not really paying attention to the answer. She knew Yoshida was an early bird.

"Oh I was walking my dog Kirka here" Said girl gestured over to the light brown puppy next to her. "I always walk her around this time"

Shana made a 'Hm' sound to signify her acknowledgement of the what the girl said as she looked at the puppy.

Kirka was staring right back at the flame haze with the most heart-melting brown eyes. Her tongue was sticking out as she was panting.

Shana eventually laid down on her back looking up at the amazingly perfect sky. There was something about that dog that she couldn't put her finger on. It was like the dog was trying to talk to her or ask her something...she shrugged it off knowing it was probably nothing.

The two girls laid there looking up at the sky in silence for awhile just enjoying the company each provided until Yoshida broke it by talking about the stars. Occasionally she would get confused at which were which but she still continued on.

Shana on the other hand...

She was trying really hard to listen to what Kazumi was saying, but she was slowly starting to lose it. It was that dog.

Kirka was staring at her for the longest time, and finally Shana had sighed in relief that the dog was looking away, aw but the flame haze slightly winced when Kirka trotted over and sat to her left then continued to stare at her.

What was that dog's problem? She swore Kirka wasn't even blinking!

Shana tried to ignore Kirka and went back to attempting to listen to what Yoshida was saying. Time went on slowly, every second felt like an eternity.

The flame haze could start to feel her eye twitching from the dogs constant staring.

Kirka lifted her paw ever so slowly then moved one step closer and that's all it took for Shana to spring up, turn toward the dog and point a finger at Kirka while nearly yelling, "WHAT?"

Kazumi was more than startled from the sudden outburst and had to put her hand on the ground to her right to keep from toppling over.

"Shana, What's wrong?" She asked looking from Kirka to the flame haze who was panting heavily.

"What's wrong with her?" Shana kept pointing to Kirka as Yoshida tried to understand what she meant.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she's been staring at me"

Yoshida looked at Kirka awhile before the edges of her mouth curled upwards into a bright smile. "I think she likes you"

"Eh?" Shana turned her head to look at the other girl, disbelief written all over her face. Noticing her guard was down Kirka ran and jumped up in the flame haze's lap, getting up on her back feet while placing her front paws near the flame haze's collarbone, Kirka started licking her cheek.

Yoshida started giggling at the scene while Shana was trying to get the pup off of her. Before you can blink the she is up off the ground and running around with Kirka not far behind.

Somewhere along the way the flame haze started smiling and laughing along with Yoshida. She wouldn't admit it out loud but she was having a lot of fun.


Shana entered her apartment and went straight to her bedroom. She quickly changed and climbed into bed.

All that running can really tire a person out.

If she could she would have cried out tears of happiness as she was out like a light when her head hit the pillow. Sleep finally caught up with her.

She had a very pleasant dream that night.


Gomen if you were expecting Yuji to show up anytime, but I have decided to make this story nicely slow paced. Not too slow but not as fast as Red Albino. AND I plan to put more slow paced romance in between the characters, mainly Shana and Yuji

but I might put in some Yoshida and Ike...I don't know yet so don't expect it.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, and I apologize in advance if it takes me awhile to update. Ideas just hit me randomly, and so that's the only time I can really type out a good chapter.

See ya till Chapter 2 :]
