Quick Summary: The main character, Mayonaka, is being chased by death eaters and her only option is to hide in disguise in a way they would never expect… Mayonaka's appearance is switched to a boy, by Dumbledore's orders, and transferred to Hogwarts! Chaos is ensured as she learns a new culture, gets chased by death eaters, meets and confuses her classmates, and finds love with a certain Marauder… but she encounters a few problems.

A/N: This first chapter mostly takes place in Japan, it will however go to Hogwarts, don't worry. There will be Japanese phrases used in this Fan-Fic but don't fret! I will translate as the story goes on!
I actually got the idea from a manga… slightly but not really. The manga is from Hana Kimi, and they only similarity this has to that is the gender bender/ cross dressing element of the story, haha.
Disclaimer: Not J.K Rowling… sorry!
Staring at the distant ceiling laid a restless young woman. Her mind flowed over many topics, mostly about the stressful topic of schooling. Mayonaka could hear the rain falling on the roof the shallow breaths of those sleeping around her, and boy did she envy them for the carelessness. In only two days they had their first wizarding test of that year! Didn't anyone else worry? She rubbed her knuckles out of habit, massaging them as if that'd make the stress fade. As she caressed her knuckle she felt the lack of something that should have been there.
"No!" Mayonaka gasped, almost forgetting that she wasn't alone, and others were trying to sleep. Scolding herself for almost waking the others, and for forget one of the most precious items her mother gave her; her ring.
Sitting up quickly, she threw the light covers aside and as silently as she could manage Mayonaka tiptoed her way across the tatami (A/N: Tatami is a Japanese straw mat, used traditionally for floors) to the door. Careful not to wake anyone, she slid the door open and walked down the hall. She didn't bother to change, and now since the cold night air reached her skin she regretted that decision.
She knew it wouldn't be in her room, she thought back to the last place she had taken off the silver ring. 'The bathroom, of course!' she thought. She always took off her ring before she washed her hands, she must have forgotten all about putting it back on when her friend, Tsuchi, had told her to hurry to class.
Mayonaka quicken her pace, hoping no one had stolen the ring or worse, it falling down the drain. Possible occurrences ran through her mind, all worse then the previous causing her to be flustered. She sighed, and hastily went up a few staircases. Finally she arrived to the bathroom she had been at previously that day.
She slid the door open impatiently. All was pitch black; she felt the walls for the light switch her palm dashing along the tiled wall searching. After what seemed far too long, she had found if and flicked it upwards causing the room to illuminate. She sighed inwardly as she saw a gleaming sliver band ring on the corner of the sink. Thanking her luck, she retrieved it and put it back onto her ring finger. She leaned on the corner of the sink collecting her thoughts, and her relief. Unconsciously she ran her fingers through her thick but straight hair which had brought her bangs back and her finger got tangled, she had forgotten that she had put her hair up. She fixed it quickly.
Satisfied she made her way out of the bathroom turning the light off before she made her way out. She stopped letting her eyes adjust to the light around her. As the world around her came into focus she noticed that Headmaster Meiyo's (A/N: Meiyo is pronounced; May-oh… kinda sounds like Mayo.) office door was slightly ajar. Mayonaka's curiosity got the better of her and she peeked through the crack that was left open.
There were men in black robes, she couldn't see their faces, but she had a feeling they weren't welcome. The Headmaster's face was impassive as always though. By the looks of him, one would say that it was no different than if he was brewing a cup of tea, but Mayonaka could feel a strange emotion radiate in the air. One of contempt and disdain. Such waves were strange and foreign for the man she knew.
The bizarre men in the black robes slowly circled Meiyo, she now noticed that the man in black robes also had mask. He looked offended, he had then said something, but Mayonaka could not clearly hear what they were saying. The Offenders pulled out their wands in unison, but Meiyo didn't delay to pull out his wand as well. She felt confident that he could handle them; after all he was one of the greatest wizards of all time. Right alone side a British wizard whom she just couldn't remember his name. She made a mental note to look that up. No one had cast any spells that she could tell, and for that she was relived. The last thing they need is a duel in the middle of the night, what mayhem that could turn out to be. Meiyo was getting more and more aggravated, so much that his facial expressions had showed through. If he got any madder they would have a corpse to take care of.
"Give it to us!" Mayonaka heard one of the men screech in English. 'Strange,' Mayonaka thought, 'their foreigners.'
Mayonaka couldn't hear the response of her Headmaster, for he was much more collected then these rude and unwelcome guest. Although he did reply, because she had seen his lips move.
Without warning one raised its wand, "Avada Keda--" But before he could finish Mayonaka burst through the door and tackled the man that had tried to kill Meiyo. Which did delay the murder but there were others to full-fill that job. "Mayonaka-san, you must leave! Run!" Meiyo said in Japanese, the others had no idea what he had said, but they didn't care, either. Instead of contemplating his words one had took that chance and yelled out the curse, "Avada Kedavra!" hitting Meiyo directly in the back with a stream of green sinister light. All life left his once sparking eyes. Now the only sparkling it had done was the dim light of the room light reflecting back.
"SENSEI!" she cried out (A/N: Sensei is a title given to teachers or mentors.) in terror. One of the masked men tried to hold her down, but she wrenched out of his grasp and ran to Meiyo. "No! Sensei, wake up! You can't die, you just can't! Please! Moushiwake arimasen" (A/N: Moushiwake arimasen mean to be deeply sorry for something that has happened) she was crying now. Her tears fell on his old and wrinkled face, causing her to cry even more. A man with a black robe, a rather skinny fellow, was tugging on her but she refused to let go of her dead mentor. So she did the first thing she could think of; kick him where it hurts. So she did just that.
"Oumff, Oww. You bitch!" he cried out in pain. The others were too preoccupied with something to worry about her just yet, and instead of running away curiosity got to her a second time. Then it occurred to her, they were stealing the Kurisutaru Suisho (A/N: Crystal. Literally, Kurisutaru means glass. Suisho means mineral.) which is one of the most sacred of Meiyo's possessions. She didn't actually know much more than that except for a few tales that she had heard from Meiyo but those stories seems phoney.
Still, she felt rage build up inside her. Their disrespect was dishonoring her mentor, and she would never forgive them. But something other then hatred for these strange came shooting to the surface, she was ashamed of herself. If she hadn't distracted Meiyo he would still be alive, if only she could have stopped that man from saying that wretched curse. All the emotions came suddenly luckily she always carried her wand, she screamed out, "CRUCIO!" However it missed her target and the curse had burned a hole in the adjacent slide door. That had got their attention.
All of the strange men, four of them to be exact-- that's not including the one that was still in pain grasping his groin, looked at her. The tallest of them held the glowing red crystal; the other three had their wands directed at her. She did the only thing she could think off, she ran.
Out the office door, down the hall, and down the stairs. All the while they chased her. Mayonaka's breath was getting short but she knew it was run or die, she'd rather run. She inwardly cursed her cowardly decision. She had reached the exit to the enormous pagoda. She ran outside into the cold rain. She couldn't see much through the rain at all because of how thick it was coming down. She used this to her advantage, she knew her way around, and they however did not. Still, she was exhausted and her lungs threatened to burst. She was well known to one of the best runners at her school, however rain makes the air thick and rain was never her thing. In addition so much had happened in such a small amount of time. It's all wrong! Things aren't meant to crash so suddenly, are they?
She was slowing down much to her dismay. She forced her legs to go faster. Her once fastened hair was now down and soaked, clinging to her back and face, blurring her vision more. She wiped it off with the side of her palm hastily. She didn't know exactly where to run to, so she went through the trees where her favorite Sakura trees resided. There were many there so she had to duck and avoid branches. She hoped they had stopped following her, but she heard the heavy panting and splashes of the mud behind her. So instead, she wished that they'd get hit by a branch, or trip.
Mayonaka was so focused on moving her legs and breathing, she forgot to stay balanced, and so quite ungracefully she fell face first into a puddle of mud. "Baka!" she cursed herself. (A/N: Baka means Idiot) She tried to push herself up but only to fall into the mud once more. She heard them, and they were dangerously close so she took out her wand knowing that she wouldn't be able to run any further.
However the lean one she had kicked earlier already had his wand out and bound her in ropes and gagged her. She was now helpless. One had congratulated the man for his quick action; however Mayonaka was too exhausted to interpret the foreign language word for word.
"We should kill her now! She saw what happened!" the skinny one said, his voice was young. The others contemplated this.
"No, Lucius. We must take her to the Dark Lord. She may know something about the crystal. She did seem close to that old fool." A huskier voice replied.
"Whatever, lets go before anyone sees we're here!" another had said nervously. He grabbed the girl who fiercely revolted in vain. He was much stronger and she didn't have free limbs to throw about. She suddenly felt very self conscious, she was still wearing her nightgown which was a pale green and quite revealing and since it was wet it had clung to her body. One of the men noticed this and commented, "Do we get to have with her before we see the Dark Lord?" The others just gave him an incredulous look. "I guess not then?" he said nervously.
With that they apparated from Japan into Muggle, London. The streets were practically empty and the street light had come on. All the while Mayonaka never stopped trying to pry herself free. "Aghhh," the man sighed annoyed by her resistance. "Calm down! Your annoying me." She continued to squirm. "I said stop! Do you want to die?" She wasn't concentrating on what he was saying at all instead she was figuring out how to get away.
Suddenly the one who was youngest as far as Mayonaka could tell since they were masked and all had identical black robes warned, "I think we have company."
Mayonaka looked towards the one who had spoke, and followed his cold eyes. They were looking at the sky, and there she could see figures on brooms descending towards them. She desperately hoped they weren't on the sides of these murders.
"Hmph, there's only three. Too easy." The one who was carrying her said smugly. Her put her down suddenly and none too gently. She landed on her shoulder roughly causing her to wince in pain. See this as a chance to get free. She viciously tried to get the cloth off her mouth so she could possibly get the robes untied by using her teeth. However the husky one saw her pitiful attempt and forcefully punched her in the temple causing her vision to fade and turn to black.
