It was a brisk morning, birds chirping, and the sun just barely peeking behind the buildings of down town Tokyo. Suddenly a young girl walks through the wet dewey grass, startling the birds. She gave a quiet squeal as the birds stirred. She slowly walked to the bus stop near by, then looked at the dingy seat. She layed her coat down on the bench, sat down, then clasped her arms as a quick morning breeze blew by. Soon she looked at her watch wondering were the bus might be, then made a quick descision do walk.
She was alert while walking through Tokyo, seeing crazy people yelling out windows, and lady's staring at her while she walked. She was soon out of town, and let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't long after that she reached the steps to Ouran Elementary School. She walked down the halls, her feet lightly tapping on the porcelan floors. She soon turned to her classroom and entered. The door making a slight clacking sound.
She soon walked to her desk, and opened her school binder. She pulled out her project for science class. Her name written sloppingly at the top. Soon she started to see the sun shine in through the window, so she walked quickly to window, covering her eyes while pulling the blinds down. She stumbled to the light switch, still blinded from the bright morning sun, and with a click the lights flickered on. She slowly walked back to her desk, when her twin came in the room.
"Maki, why are you here so early?" Makiko asked her still groggy. She walked slowly to her desk while dragging her bag behind her. She flopped into her chair and looked at Maki confused.
Maki looked at her, then stood as if she were about to leave, then sat back down again. Her shyness taking over. "I-I... Had to finish my p-project." she looked down at her project, the paper dotted with fact after fact about molecular fusion. Her model scale vividly showing molecualr fusion in it's process.
Makiko looked at her scornfully, "Maki-chan, you're such a geek." She shook her head in shame. "Why do I even have to be related to you?" she said to herself in a sarcastic tone, then Kyouya walked in the room. Striding arrogantly to his seat, looking at Makiko, then at Maki, and frowned. "You just had to be here." she whispered to Maki, then walked away.
Maki looked down at the floor, she wanted to say something but choked on her words. Soon she saw Ritsu walk in. She gazed at him for a short while, the grabbed her things and ran out of the room, her eyes filling with tears. Her classmates watched her run, but there was one student, only one who took onto her, hid in the shadows behind her. When he saw her run, he ran after, staying quiet and oblique in the brisk light.
"Maki! Wait!" Yelled the person, finally reaching her. He put his hand on her shoulder, "Where are you going?" He asked sturnfully, his uniform durty from running after her in the morning dew.
"..." Silence is all she gave this person. She looked frantically at them, and then at their hand. She was to surprised to move. Then suddenly they reached another hand out, and placed it on her shoulder.
"Maki-chan, where are you going?" They persisted, then she opened her mouth slightly, and whispered to them, "I am running away..." She looks down, tears racing down her cheeks. They looked at her stunned at what she had just said.
"Tell me, what's y-your name?" She said quietly, slowly looking up at this person's face. They had a blank expression on their face, then started to speak, "Fuyu Genkai." he gave a faint smile.
"I-I've never s-seen you in class..." She says awkwardly to Fuyu. She moves her bangs out of her face, revealing her bright silver eyes. He gave a shocked expression when he met with her eyes. He couldn't help but stare deeply into her eyes. "Y-You have beautiful eyes," He said almost in a trance. She quickly looked away, letting her bangs fall back over her eyes.
"F-Fuyu, w-what are you looking at?" She said a few moments after their eyes met. He gave a shocked look, and stayed silent. She was starting to become infuriated with him, she gathered enough courage, ripped away from his grasp, and ran.
He watched her still to shocked to do anything. She finally dissappeared into the distance. When Fuyu finally realized she ran, he tried to run, but quickly gave up; knowing she was long gone by then. He cupped his face knowing he let her get away, then fell to his knees. He started to cry furiously.
People walked by him, staring. He hadn't even noticed them, or how long he had been there crying. Soon a crowd rallied around him, staring. He finally looked up, his face soaked from crying for hours. He stood up, and clenched his stomache. He was in pain. Then he a shock hit his face, when he finally noticed all the people.
He shoved his was through the crowd and raced home. Running through the house, his parents follow short behind yelling at him "What's wrong?" He stumbled into his chair where his desk and computer were. He turned it on, and started the chase.
