But after Shizuru's graduation, Natsuki thought about her feelings. After all this time, she's unsure about her feelings to the older woman. Has she fall in love with Shizuru? Or is it still friendship? And have Shizuru's feelings changed?

"This makes 1,400 Yen." The money was handed over. The cashier gave a white bag to a young woman. The young woman turned around and walked out of the kombini.

When she came outdoors her dark blue hair blew in the wind. She wear a black motorcycle suit with red records on the shoulders and white gloves. She went to her deep-blue motorcycle that parked on the street edge. She opened her saddle, took a black motorbike helmet with red stripes and she put the bag purely. She put the helmet on and sat down on her motorcycle. Before she drove off, she directed her green eyes to the dark sky.

What a beautiful night… She thought. Suddenly there rang her mobile phone. She opened the phone call and the helmet off of her head.

"Hello?" She answered.

A known female voice contacted."Natsuki! It's me, Mai!"

"Mai?! You're back from the USA?" Natsuki asked.

"Yes, I am! I have just arrived at the dorms! I wanted to ask if you can come. Mikoto is here and I brought some sweets."

"Sure! I'm coming! Give me five minutes!"

"Alright! Hurry up or Mikoto will eat everything! See you."

"So Mai is back." The blue haired girl looked to the sky. A shooting star moved over the dark beautiful sky. "I wondering when she will come again."

A young woman sat on a bench. She had long light auburn hair and crimson eyes. She wear a black jacket, black pants and under the jacket she wear a pile shirt. A thermos jug lay, filled with green tea, was beside her. She read a book called 'Misery'.

The name of this girl was Fujino Shizuru.

"What an interesting book," She said and closed it. She took the thermos jug, opened it and poured tea in the cup. She blowed over the tea and took a gulp.

"I'm glad that I have vacation. Now I can finally go back to Fuuka." She took a gulp from the hot tea again.

"So you're here bubuzuke!"A furious voice was sounded. Before the brunette a known shade appeared. A girl at her age with long blond hair, which was bound in a ponytail, grey eyes and purple eye shadows. She wears a green sweater and beige pants.

This girl was Suzushiro Haruka. Yukino's childhood friend and self-appointed rival of Fujino Shizuru.

"Ah, Haruka-chan. Have you make your homework?" Shizuru said and smiled. She had decided to come closer to the other girls. So she started to call her rival Haruka-chan.

"Don't call me Haruka-chan! And the question is, what are you doing here?! Your crazy fans are searching for you! They irritate me! What you have to say in your defence?!" She pointed her finger at Shizuru. And Shizuru take an other gulp.

"I wanted to relax," She said, packed up her things and stand up. "Well it's time to go back to the dorms. I've finished the book."

"Ey, bubuzuke! You need to speak with your fans!" Haruka said angrily.

"Ara ara, if you want, you can speak with them. I'm really tired and tomorrow is a very important day. You should go to bed too, Haruka-chan," Haruka's rival smiled again. "I know you want to see Yukino-chan, right?"

"W-w-what does that mean?!" Haruka blushed. "I only want to see how she makes her job as the student council president!"

"And you misses her." The blond haired girl opened her mouth and closed it again.

"Er…yes, but…"

Shizuru grinned and turned around. I know it. She looked to the sky and had sunk into her thoughts. Tomorrow. Tomorrow we going back to Fuuka. We'll met the others again. Her thoughts wandered to a certain person. Natsuki…I coming back.

After Shizuru's graduation, this two had rarely contact. The brunette don't have any time to meet her closest friend. She was occupied with her studies, so the both only call each other and met very rarely. But they send every month letters each other.

I wonder what you are doing. Are you riding your motorcycle around the city? Or are you eating some good food from Mai-chan with an extra portion mayo?

The young woman giggled. She remembered a little story. She gave Natsuki twelve bottles of Mayo on her seventeenth birthday. Natsuki wasn't very happy about her present. So Shizuru gave her bluehaired best friend her real present. The present was a stuffed animal. A rabbit. Natsuki was surprised about this present but she was sad too. Natsuki had tons of stuffed animals when she was a child but she lost all of them. Shizuru knew Natsuki's past after the HiME Carnival.

"A shooting star!" Haruka shouted.

At the same time the two woman looked at the dark sky. A shooting star whizzed over the stars. The former HiME closed her eyes.

I want to meet you. I want to see you. I love you, Natsuki.

She opened her eyes.

"What was your wish, bubuzuke?"

"My wish? I want to meet an important person." Haruka snorted at the answer.

"You know you'll meet Kuga Natsuki tomorrow. And you sacrifice your wish because of this?"

"Yes." She answered.

"Pff, my wish was to win against you. Even if I needn't this wish…"

"Should your wish not be realistic?" Her rival interrupted.

"WHAT?! My wish is realistic, you green-tea-assistant-girl!" Her neighbor shouted.

"You mean 'addicted'." Shizuru opened her eyes and looked to the stars. Have you seen the shooting star? What was your wish?

Suddenly fears show her face. Shizuru trembled with fear and surprised.

"Bubuzuke…? What's going on?" Haruka looked surprised at her light brown haired friend. "Oi! Are you okay?!" She put her hand on Shizuru's shoulder.

"Impossible…it's impossible! The HiME Carnival…the Carnival is over!"

"What the hole are you saying…?" The girl with the ponytail looked at the dark sky. Like Shizuru, her face showed surprise and fear. "What is this?!"

On the right sight of the moon was an unidentifiable black mass with a red glowing object in the middle.

What's going on here? Why can Haruka see the HiME Star? Or WHY is the HiME Star here again? And will the other HiMEs see this?

This was the first chapter of this story. I hope you liked it. ^^
