Hello my dear readers, I have made some slight revisions. I would love some feedback (good and/or bad) so that I can find out what needs work or what you liked most. Enjoy! :]

Love, RinWolf08

She sighed. Six months ago today she decided to move to Japan to get away from everything she knew. It was a big change from her life in America but she had managed well enough. She had settled into a cozy one bedroom apartment about a mile away from her new middle school. Coming from an American school system left her behind the others in her class making her older than them by almost a year. But she didn't mind so much, if anything it made her study harder.

Lucky for her Japanese was her second language. Her nanny, Ms. Yuri Tanaka, came from a small town outside Tokyo to America for work and ended up being hired to take care of the youngest Crowley child. Once she learned how to read English, her father allowed Ms. Yuri to teach her native tongue. They would talk, read, and write together every day while her father and siblings dealt with more important things. Her siblings had other nannies instead of Ms. Yuri and she had no problem with that. She had Ms. Yuri all to herself.

Out of all her family, she missed her nanny most of all.

"Ms. Tanaka, I hope that daydream you're having is about the math equations." The teacher stated as he drew her away from her daze.

"I'm sorry Sensei, won't happen again."

The teacher gave her a small smile as he moved up the row to check on the other students.

When she had decided to move to Japan, she didn't want to be associated with the last name Crowley. It was already strange enough having an American girl living on her own in a foreign country let alone the youngest daughter of a governor. No, she did not want that at all. So as of six months ago she registered herself in school as Ms. Aurora Tanaka. It was the only surname she could think of at the time but now she can't think of being anyone else. There were many people who questioned her lineage and still do from time to time but when asked, she just smiles and says that her mother was Japanese. This always brought up her father who she just replayed she took after most. In reality, the only thing she shared with her father was her deep crimson hair and sharp green eyes. The one she looked like most of all was her mother, who she wished she had had time to know. But for her life, that would have been too kind.

The bell rang as the teacher gave the class its assignment for the weekend, reminding them of their exams soon.

"Hey Aurora! We still on for studying Sunday?"

She looked behind her to Kagome Higurashi. She felt bad for her friend, always home sick with something. "Yes of course, if you're feeling up to it," She smiled, "don't want to take you away from your resting time."

Kagome just laughed, "No I should be ok. Besides I could really use some help with English seeing as it's your first language."

"Well being here for so long I may be a tad rusty." She said as she gathered up her books.

"That's alright; you'll be a hell of a lot better than me, rusty or not."

Kagome's friends, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, came and rushed her off as she waved goodbye and a 'see you then'. As she was waving back at her, she felt a muscular arm wrap itself around her shoulders.

Hot breathe tickled her ear, "So when are we going on that date?"

She smirked as she slapped the arm away from around her, "Just walk me home, Haru." She turned around to see the chin of her fellow classmate, Haru Ito.

Aside from Kagome, he had to be the only other friend she really had in school. She talked to both of them the first day of school, Kagome being the first to say hello and Haru asking her out. She hung out with Kagome mostly but once she started to get more and more sick she started hanging out with Haru. Despite the fact that all he did was ask her out, he had become a good friend. He was a very handsome boy with his dark spiky hair and bright eyes but she just couldn't bring herself to say yes.

They walked out to the front, Haru whining about her avoiding the subject, as was their usual routine, at the end of the day, when she noticed it was raining. She cursed to herself still not remembering to bring her umbrella.

"No worries my sweet Rora," he chimed putting his arm around her again, "we can share mine. Unlike your sunny California, we actually get rain here."

She hated that nickname but never pressed the matter, not wanting to get into detail why. "As you very well know, I did not live in southern California where it actually is sunny. It rained there as well."

He just simply laughed as he led her outside into the rain, holding the umbrella over them with his arm still around her. Haru just loved to tease her any chance he got, especially about where she grew up. She knew he didn't mean anything by it but sometimes it was a little too much, and that usually earned him a nice slap.

They walked the path to her apartment complex, discussing their classes and weekend plans when the rain really started to pick up. It started getting unusually cold as they got closer the Higurashi Shrine steps.

She couldn't explain it but she had an odd feeling as they got closer to the steps, or so she assumed, the rain was so dense and thick she could barely see very far in front of her.

"I think someone's collapsed!" Haru said alarmed.

She was about to question him when she saw a dark form lying on the ground. She rushed ahead of him, the rain drenching her as she came directly in front of the Higurashi steps. The person was lying nearly face down in a mix of rain and blood.

"Haru!" She called as she tried to turn the unconscious person over.

He was by her in an instant having her take the umbrella while he turned them over. Aurora gasped as she gazed upon a man with a big gash from his temple up to under his bangs and disappearing into his dark hair.

"Shit, he must have fallen down the stairs!" Haru examined him more, "He's got some strange clothes on him too. I wonder where he came from."

She kneeled down next to him. His now white clothes were wet and dirty, clinging to his massive body. What she assumed was some sort of black and grey armor was covering some of his lower body up to his shoulders. A yellow and blue patterned sash was wrapped around his waist with two different swords against his hip. He was definitely a site to see.

She reached her hand out to move his very long black hair away from his face. It was soft to the touch despite being soaking wet. His strong, handsome face took her break away.

"We should take him to the hospital," Haru started to lift him up, with some difficulty too, "Holy shit, he's heavy!"

"Maybe we should take him to my place." He gave her an odd look, "Its closer and beside what are we going to tell them. He's got two swords!"

After giving it a moment, and starting to falter under the man's dead weight, he agreed. They moved as quickly as they could with her holding the umbrella over the two boys, not caring that she was getting soaked by the second.

"Just put him on my bed," she told Haru as she opened the door to her apartment, "don't worry about getting things wet, I'll clean it up later."

A little white Samoyed dog started barking at the new intruders, "Cane* stop it! They're friends." She picked him up to cease his barking as she opened the door to her bedroom. Haru dragged the man to her bed where he dropped him rather roughly.

He groaned in pain, "I think I pulled something."

"Here take him," she shoved Cane into Haru arms as she went into her bathroom to find her first aid kit, "Thank the heavens for Ms. Yuri's over packing."

When her nanny found out that she was moving to Japan, she came all the way to help her unpack and show her where everything is. It didn't stop her from over stocking her new home with everything and anything she would need for any situation. And at that moment, she was very thankful Ms. Yuri made sure she was prepared.

Once she found the first aid kit, she hurried into her room and started examining his gash. It was not as big as she originally thought once she had cleaned the wound but he was cold to the touch.

"Haru, in the cabinet in the bathroom, there should be some extra blankets at the very bottom. Get me the two thick ones. I'm afraid he may get a fever if we don't warm him up." She started searching for a way to take off his armor. Once she found the strings for the grey, spiky shoulder piece of his armor she was able to get everything off leaving him only in his pants.

Haru came back in with Cane at his heel, completely shocked to see her removing the man's shirt. "Is it bad that I'm a tad jealous you're not doing that to me?"

She scoffed and threw a pillow at him, "Shut up Haru! Now throw those blankets over him quickly before he gets worse."

Once the man was cleaned up and tucked under a mountain of blankets, she shooed Haru and Cane out. She gave the man one last glance before closing the door, leaving it slightly open.

Haru tried to convince her he should stay, just in case the man woke up, but she just told him she'd give him a call if something went wrong. He gave her one last hesitant look before she shoved him out the door before he could protest any more.

Cane came up to her, tail wagging, as she slide down her door to the floor. He jumped into her lap, not caring that she was soaking wet and gave her the usual greeting; a nice slobbery kiss. She giggled and kissed his forehead and let out a sigh.

As she stared at her bedroom door, that odd feeling came crawling back. There was something about this man that just seemed…different. She'll just have to figure it out when he wakes up.

"Well Cane, you know what they say, anything could happen."

Cane = Kaw-nay (It's Italian for dog ;D)
