Chapter 1

She looked herself in the mirror as she tied the last red ribbon on the side of her hair, once she was looking nice and neat she finally stepped out of her room and towards Lulim. This was her final year in Astraea and was looking forward to finally graduating but at the same time it saddened her as she would be leaving many of her friends behind.

She would know after all she did know how that felt, one of her best friends was transferred to another school, and not once did she hear anything about her anymore. Now that her best friend Shion was gone it pained her because she knew there would've been something more in their relationship if they had more time together but sadly it did not happen.

While it left her heartbroken and sad, she was finally able to move on, slowly but she was trying. Despite having her friends close by she still felt an overwhelming amount of sorrow because to her she felt alone most days and she didn't know why.

-"Chikaru-oneesama!"- she turned around to see her girls ran to her and embraced her, -"Ohayo Chikaru-oneesama!"- the other one said.

-"Ohayo girls."- she laughed as she returned the hug and the four of them walked inside Lulim to begin their day.

The car blurred as it sped past other cars, slowly gaining the lead towards first place and leaving the other cars in the dust. The car zig-zagged between cars to be able to pass them which was impressive to say the least but it was not going well for the people that bet against the unknown, experienced driver. The people in the stands however were furious as this person was beating their best drivers and were losing lots of money, some were losing money they didn't even have.

Finally the car crossed the finish line as many of them threw their hands up in the air in rage, while one person was smiling ear to ear. That however was still a dangerous aspect as these were not official races but more underground, illegal races where things could happen to drivers for either losing or winning.

The car finally came to a stop and pulled out to the sidelines and slowly the door opened up, and a figure stepped out.

"Do you have any idea what you just did to me!" he yelled at the person who got out of their car, he looked the person over and what he saw shocked him. It was a girl he'd never seen before, tall, athletic looking, she had very short platinum blonde hair, her eyes were a floral lavender color and her skin like porcelain. She walked over to him, her boots thumping with each step while she removed her white leather jacket, leaving only her black sleeved shirt.

"Way to go kid!" Her friend ran up to her, "You did well kid, you did super good!" The blonde haired girl smiled as she nodded.

The other man who was furious, paid the money to him and immediately walked away as did the other people who bet against her.

"Here you go kid." He gave her the share of the take as she stuffed it in her pocket, walked over back to her car and got in, she turned on her car and gave a lift to her friend back home.

She pulled the car to a stop in front of his house, "Thanks a lot, see ya tomaraw." He said as she nodded in return. Once he was safely back inside his home, she began to drive back herself back to her apartment.

Once she made it, she opened the door and walked inside, hanging her jacket by the rack and sat down on her table. She must have sat there for a good hour and Since she had hardly anything to do at the moment she stood up, grabbed her jacket and left her home to drive around.

Chikaru sat in her room bored… she was bored!? She was never bored, she always had something to do and it surprised her to feel so. She looked outside and the city lights were visible but far away from her dorm room and she wanted to go there again, usually Shizuma would be the one to take them and her friends but they had just gone three days ago.

It was still early, there would be a few buses still running that could take her to and back from the city. So she dressed herself up and got ready to sneak out of the dorms to have fun and get her mind off the boredom. As she was walking down the hall she saw Shizuma walking towards her.

-"Hey Chikaru, going somewhere?"- she asked noticing that Chikaru was all dressed up and ready to go out.

-"I'm going to town, I've been feeling tired… well I mean I don't usually get bored but today, I don't know, I feel really out of it."-

-"Want me to go with you?"-

-"No… no, I really want to be alone right now."- Chikaru was surprising even herself, she wasn't usually like this and would prefer to be with her friends.

-"Well okay… do you need any help getting there, I'd be happy to take you to town and pick you up later."- Shizuma offered.

-"No, but thank you Shizuma I'll be fine."- Chikaru then continued walking and out the front door without anyone ever noticing her leaving.

She walked along the stone walk way and out the main gates before they closed and soon enough she made it outside the school where a bus was already slowing down by the stop and Chikaru took off into a jog to get in. The bus driver was nice enough to wait for and resumed his drive back to the city. She sat quietly in the back, staring out the window while the only three other passengers chatted among'st themselves.

The bus took a while to get to the city but it did so just as the sun set, the city lights were already illuminating the sky.

Chikaru stepped out of the bus and walked, going anywhere she saw that would be of interest and surprisingly enough it was empty which was a rare sight in the city.

She must have walked for a good twenty minutes when she felt something wet hit her cheek, she looked up as another drop of water hit her forehead.

-"Oh no…"- it began to drizzle, which began to turn into heavy rain. She ran to the first building she saw, not knowing that the building she was running into was a bar.

She looked outside, seeing the rain pour down and she was relieved to not have gotten too wet. However they're a pair of eyes looking at her with evil intent.

-"Well look what we have here man."- he spoke to his buddy as Chikaru turned around, seeing two sinister looking men come at her slowly, backing her into a corner.

-"We got ourselves a real cutie."- the other said.

-"Please I don't want trouble!"- Chikaru held her hands in front of herself to protect herself.

-"Oh we don't want to hurt you sweetheart."- he laughed.

Across the room their act caught the attention of another person in the bar, and she looked at them seeing them try to do something disgusting to the poor girl.

Her lavender colored eyes looked at them, disgusted by them and not wanting to allow something worse to happen she stood up and walked over to them.

She grabbed one of their shoulders to get his attention, -"That's enough."- she spoke, as the two of them turned around.

-"Oh look, another cutie and quite a sexy one."- he eyed her up and down.

-"I don't want any trouble, I want you two to go."-

He laughed, -"Yeah because we're going to leave because you asked us to. We're not going anywhere till we have a little fun with this cutie and now you."- The other one smirked.

The girl with the white jacket however knew they wouldn't back down and in one motion, she head butted one of them on their nose and from all the blood that gushed out she knew she had to have broken it. As he laid on the ground, in pain, his friend punched the girl on her face nearly toppling her over and as he rushed to tackle her, she grabbed his head in a headlock and began to knee his stomach as she held him.

She brought her elbows down on his back as hard as she could and he retaliated by grabbing her neck which she then grabbed one of his thumbs and broke it in one swift motion to get his hand off her. He screamed in pain and that's when the girl spun on her heel and swiftly kicked him harshly on his face, knocking him down and the other man with the broken nose tried to fight back only to be met with a knee to his face, further adding more pain to his bloody nose.

Not wanting to be humiliated anymore, the man picked up his buddy and practically dragged him out of the bar as they both whimpered from the pain that had just been inflicted upon them.

She finally relaxed her guard and looked at the frightened girl behind her, -"Are you okay?"- she spoke softly to her.

-"Y-yeah I'm okay."- Chikaru replied.

-"You should be more careful."- she said gently and there was something about the way she spoke, it was so soft spoken and for some reason she felt she could trust this person and the strange part was that she didn't even know this girl.

-"Yeah I will, Arigato!"- she bowed deeply, the other girl however only smiled and as she was turning back to sit back down Chikaru noticed the blood going down her lip.

She sat back down where she came from and Chikaru was still going over in her head everything that happened and she couldn't believe it. But who was this girl who saved her?

She walked over to her table, getting her attention, -"May I join you?"- she nodded with a smile as she sat down in front of her.

-"I really want to thank you for what you did, who knows what would've happened to me."- Chikaru said.

The girl smiled, "No problem." She spoke softly, though she noticed by her words that she was American.

Chikaru's gaze was immediately drawn to her busted lip, -"Oh no, your lip."- she said as the girl touched her lips and looked at her fingertips, seeing the blood on them.

-"Allow me."- Chikaru sat closer to her and grabbed a napkin and wiped it away, -"Do you need to see a doctor or anything?"- she asked.

But the girl shook her head, "No, I'm okay." She replied.

That voice was so strange to hear from someone, Chikaru never heard someone be so gentle in the way they talk… it was like she was shy but why should she, she looked like a very capable woman. Her eyes even held a gentleness that Chikaru immediately noticed, she could tell that hurting someone wasn't something she liked to do.

-"I'm Chikaru by the way,"- Chikaru extended her hand to her, the other girl reached out for hand and grasped it gently. Her hands felt rough, which was surprising to her compared to her hands which were very soft but she figured that this girl must work with her hands a lot.

-"So are you new here?"- she asked.

"No," she looked at her, "I've been here for two years."

-"Oh I see,"- she smiled, -"Do you go to school here?"- she shook her head, -"What do you do?"-

The girl looked into her eyes before finally saying, "…I drive."

-"Huh? What do you mean?"- she asked, since there were quite a few things that require driving.

"Racing."

-"You're a car racer!? That's amazing!"- though something struck Chikaru, baffled as she saw her, -"But you look so young!"- This girl had to be her age, why would she do something so dangerous like race car driving.

"How old do you think I am?" she asked as she took a sip of her beer.

-"You have to be at least eighteen right?"- Chikaru asked.

The girl smiled, "I'm twenty-four."

-"What!? You don't look like it!"- now that caught Chikaru off guard which the girl just chuckled, -"Well anyway,"- she giggled, -"Are you waiting for someone?"-

"No."

-"Do you have any friends here?"-

"Just one."

-"Well how about you and me become friends."- Chikaru smiled warmly because she did look rather lonely.

"I'd like that." she replied.

-"Well looks like the rain let up, come on."- she grabbed the girl by her hand and led her outside. They walked around as Chikaru showed her around, -"Where would you like to go?"-

The girl looked around, "Anywhere is fine."

-"Alright then, come on. I know this place you might like!"- the two walked around, finding the small building which had a lot of table games like billiards and pinball machines.

-"Do you play?"- she asked as they approached the billiard table.

"Once." She said as she wore her smile. Chikaru then handed her a pool cue and set the balls up to play, of course Chikaru wasn't all that good at it.

Then again neither was this girl, the two softly laughed as they realized that they weren't any good at this game but kept going regardless. After which the two walked around in the park that was close by, talking about random subjects… or rather Chikaru did the talking while the girl listened, a quality Chikaru was liking about her because whenever she would ask, the girl would give her opinion on it.

-"So I don't know what to do… this girl thinks she owns Spica and wants to push so many things that would harm both Miator and Lulim."-

"You should step up," she said, "You shouldn't have to risk it, from what you told me all three schools should share a balance. Not the other way around."

-"Exactly what I was thinking, I'll discuss this with her tomorrow. Arigato."- Chikaru said with a smile, -"I just needed someone to say what I was thinking to be sure."-

She smiled, "You shouldn't have too, you seem like a pretty smart person." She said with that soft voice that Chikaru was already loving about her.

-"Arigato."- they walked around, -"You want to go grab something to eat? Drink?"- she nodded.

Chikaru led the way to a small diner and ordered a small meal for the two, and talked while they waited. After getting their meals and eating them, they decided to sit in for a while as Chikaru was enjoying this girls company which was strange, she just met her and was already liking her a lot. Then again, Chikaru liked everyone she met because she liked to be friendly with everyone unless they gave her a reason to not like them.

Chikaru looked at her watch and stood up in shock, -"Oh no…"-

The girl stood up, concerned about what was wrong, "Something wrong?" she asked.

-"I don't have a way of going back to the dorms, the last bus just left!"- she said, beginning to freak out that she would have to go back in the dark and it was a long way back to the dorms.

The girl looked at her, "I can drive you back." She replied in her gentle tone of voice.

-"Oh no no, I don't want to be a bother."

"Its no bother." She smiled, she led the way out as Chikaru followed her ever grateful for this.

They walked back all the way to the bar where Chikaru had met her and it didn't take long till they found the girl's car.

-"Oh my, its beautiful."- a beautiful glossy grey car with a black stripe going down the middle from the back to the hood, almost like a vintage muscle car like one she had seen in a movie.

She unlocked the doors and the two got in, inside the car was really nice and neat which was a nice change after having seen the cars of her parent's friends and they were a mess on the inside.

They buckled up and they began to drive away as Chikaru guided the blonde haired girl on where to go.

-"Here we are."- Chikaru said as the girl pulled up on the parking lot to the steps that led up to the school.

The two of them got out, "This is your school?"

-"Yeah."- she said as the blonde girl followed Chikaru up the stairs, -"Hope you don't mind the stairs."-

She shook her head, and continued to walk the rest of the way with Chikaru while she talked about a few random things. Chikaru looked at her and while she didn't really talk much, she could see this girl was a very good listener as she smiled at her.

-"Here we are."- they were in front of the gates to the dorms, the blonde girl wondered how Chikaru was going to get in seeing as the gate were closed.

"Need help?"

Chikaru nodded, -"That would be very much appreciated."- she said as the girl walked up to the wall, and steadied herself, Chikaru placed her foot in between the girl's hands and helped her over the stone wall.

She landed safely on the other side, -"Arigato!"- she smiled at the blonde girl, a smile she returned as well with a nod.

-"Hey uh…"- Chikaru held her hands behind her back, -"Do you… want to hang out again?"-

"I'd love too." She replied, she had to admit that she very much enjoyed her company and was willing to spend time with her again.

-"Great! How does this Friday sound?"-

"Great." She replied as Chikaru nodded in agreement and the blonde girl began to turn around to head back.

-"Hey wait,"- she called out to her and she turned to face her again, -"Gomenasai, I haven't even asked for your name, that's so rude of me."- Chikaru said.

The blonde haired girl opened her mouth to speak but before she could say anything her phone began to go off, and after looking who it was she looked at Chikaru, "I'm sorry." She answered it, "Hello?" Chikaru could only hear mumbles on the other end but not loud enough to make out anything they were saying.

"Alright I'll be there!" she looked at Chikaru, "Sorry, I gotta go." She began to sprint down the steps and back to her car.

Chikaru wondered what that was about but none the less she was happy to have made a new friend and would be hanging out with her again this coming Friday. With nothing else to do, she walked back to her dorm and to her room to wash up and get her much needed sleep.

She ran back to the garage and ran inside, seeing her old friend pinned by a car that fell on his foot.

"I'm so glad to see you kid!" She could hear the pain behind his voice, "Help me get this damn car off me please!" she retrieved the car jack that had probably slid just out of reach for him and began to lift the car up with it. Once it was high enough she pulled him out of it.

"Oh man!" he exhaled in relief, "So much better, thanks a lot kiddo!" he said as she helped him sit down on a chair.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Nothing big, I was fixing up the car and the jack freakin slipped and my foot got pinned under the car." He explained.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" she asked.

"Nah nah its fine kid, thanks for asking," He grabbed his beer, "I got all the medicine I need right here, you should go home and get some sleep, you have a race tomorrow hope ya didn't forget."

"No I haven't."

He nodded, "You take it easy kid." He hugged her and after making sure he'd be okay, she got back in her car and drove back to her home.

She opened the door to her apartment and walked inside, took a shower, then walked towards her closet, changing into her dark pajama pants and a white short sleeved shirt. She then walked towards one more room but she couldn't bring herself to open the door, she must have stood by it for a while till she finally let go of the door knob and walked back to her closet and pulled out a blanket and pillow.

She set up her bed on the couch, laid down on the sofa and slowly drifted off to sleep.
