Forever
Chapter One
A New Start
Today I would be attending Cross Academy along with my two friends, Ryuzaki Sakuno and Echizen Ryoma. The sudden transferring of school was due to my personal problems. I have been going out with a boy, Fuji Syusuke, for two years. We have been happy together until a week ago. We decided to go on a date to celebrate our second year anniversary. I already arrived in the park 30 minutes earlier. After waiting for an hour, Syusuke did not show up. I was about to phone Syusuke suddenly one of my sempai phoned me via through cell-phone.
"Moshi Moshi." I said.
"Is it Tenjou-san?" Tezuka asked.
"Yes. What is the matter? You sound really terrible." i said worriedly.
"Fuji got into an accident. He is now in the Tokyo Hospital. Please come right away." Tezuka said hurriedly.
"I understand. Thank you Tezuka-sempai. I would be there in 10 minutes." I said.
I started running from the park to the Tokyo Hospital. Due to playing tennis all the time, I have gained the endurance to run for a long period of time. As I enter into the hospital, sempachi-tachi, Ryuzaki-sensei, Sakuno and Ryoma was already in the waiting section waiting for me.
"How is Syusuke?" I asked.
"He is fine but…" Ryoma replied sadly.
"What happened? Please tell me Ryoma!" I said desperately.
"Fuji-sempai's physical condition is fine but the doctor said that he has lost his memories about the past two years." Sakuno replied sadly.
"Would he be able to regain those memories?" I asked.
"The doctor said that due to the shock to his brain, he would not be able to remember anything for the past two years no matter what we do." Ryoma replied sadly.
This shocking news was really hard to accept. I was depressed for the whole week. I did not come out of my room at all. When my father, older brothers and sisters return from America, Ryoma and everybody told them what happened. I skipped my work for the whole week. After a week or so, I walked out of my room. I decided to transfer to another school. I know no matter what I do, the reality would not change. Instead of sulking in my room, I decided to wish for Syusuke's happiness. I also decided to start a new life so I told my family about transferring school which in the end reached into Ryoma and Sakuno's ears. Since they are worried about me going by myself, they decided to tag along with me.
A little something that I have not told anyone is that I am the lead singer of SOUL, a popular band. My older siblings are also in the band playing the electric guitars, drums and background singer. Every time I tried going out, I would disguise myself but my fans recognized me right away.
Here we are in front of the gates of Cross Academy. In case anyone recognizes me, I disguise myself into a girl wearing eyeglasses. Ryoma and Sakuno said that I would be fine without disguising myself but I did it just in case. I look at my watch and it says 4:00PM. Since the headmaster would be expecting us anytime, we started walking into the academy.
As we reached into the hallways of the Sun Class building, there were a lot of students looking at us. Some were whispering something like "isn't that Sakura Tenjou?". I knew once again my disguise did not work so I took off the eyeglasses. As I took it off, the guys and girls in the hallways said:
"It's Tenjou Sakura from SOUL! Why is she here?"
"Maybe she is transferring to our school! OMG! I cannot believe that a superstar would be attending our school." one of the other girls said.
A girl was brave enough to approach me and said:
"Hello! You must be Tenjou Sakura-san. We are pleased to have you here. I am Honjou Natsumi. Please to meet you." She said as she extended her hand for a handshake.
"Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you, Natsumi-san.", I said as I shake hands with her.
"On sorry for the late introduction. These two people here are my childhood friends. The one on the left is Ryuzaki Sakuno while the one on the right is Echizen Ryoma." I said.
"Nice to meet you Honjou-san." Both of them said.
"Natsumi is fine." She said.
"Sorry but we have to go to the headmaster's office. I would see you later then Natsumi-san." I said.
"Hai!" Natsumi replied.
Before we reached the headmaster's office, a girl with chocolate brown hair called my name. I turned around and saw that beside stood a guy with white silver hair.
"You must Tenjou-san, Ryuzaki-san and Echizen-san, right? I am Yuuki Cross, the headmaster's daughter. The person beside me is Kiryuu Zero. Due to the headmaster busy schedule, he told us to escort and tour around the school with the two of us." She said.
" I understand. I am Tenjou Sakura. The person on the left is Ryuzaki Sakuno while on the left is Echizen Ryoma. Nice to meet you Yuuki-san and Zero-san" I said.
"Nice to meet you.", both of them said.
"Shall we get going?" Yuki asked.
"Yes. Please." I replied.
As we walked to the Sun Dormitory, I notice that there is this really old building. Since I was curious, I asked Yuki:
"Yuuki-san what is this building for?"
"It is for the Night class students. This is the Moon Dormitory." Yuki replied.
"Night Class?" I asked.
"It is for the elite students." Yuki replied.
"Oh I see" I replied.
"We are here. This is the Sun Dormitory. We would show you to your rooms. Zero it is okay now, you can start going to the Moon Dormitory's gate." Yuki said.
"Okay. See you later." Zero replied
As we walked up the stairs, Yuki said:
"Tenjou-san and Ryuzaki-san would share a room while Echizen-san would be sharing a room in the boys side of the dormitory. I would show Tenjou-san and Ryuzai-san's room first." Yuki said.
After five minutes, we arrived in front of a room. She opened the door. Instead there were two beds, two closets and two washrooms on one side. As we enter into the room, Yuki said that she would take Ryoma to his room. Before Ryoma left, I told him that I would contact him through the cell-phone on what to do after they finish unpacking. Before Yuki left, she said:
"Oh! Sorry for forgetting. Your uniforms would be delivered to you by tomorrow so you could wear anything tomorrow in class." Yuki said.
"Thank you for letting us know." I replied politely.
After an hour or so, Sakuno and I finished unpacking. Since Sakuno and I wanted to walk around the school before it gets dark, I phoned Ryoma telling him to meet us in the main door of the Sun Dorms. As we started to walk down the stairs, we meet Ryoma halfway. As I walk down the last set of stairs, I start to feel a little nausea. I tried shaking off the feeling and it went away. Both of them seem to notice and I told them that I am okay. As we walk out of the Sun Dorms, we meet Natsumi again. It does not seem like she noticed us since she looks like she is in a rush so I called out to her:
"Natsumi-san! Konbanwa. It seems like we meet again", I said.
"Sakura-san, konbanwa." She replied.
"What are you rushing for?" I asked
"I am rushing to the Moon Dorms. I want to go to see the night class." she said.
"Why not you come too since it seems like you do not have anything to do?" she asked.
"Sure. Do you want to come as well, you too?" I asked Sakuno and Ryoma.
"We will come as well, the both of them replied.
As we arrived at the gates of the Moon Dorm, I could see Yuki-san and Zero-san trying to block the female students from going over the white. As I walked closer to the crowd, Yuuki and Zero greeted us.
"Tenjou-san, Ryuzaki-san and Echizen-san, Konbanwa!" Yuki said.
As Yuuki said my name, the female students start to approach me and squeal.
"It is Tenjou Sakura!"
"So the rumors were real. She is really attending out school."
Then a lot of girls approached me and said:
"Konbanwa, Tenjou-san."
"Konbanwa, it is fine to call me Sakura.What are your names?" I asked.
" I am Kamiya Eri. Nice to meet you." Eiri said.
" I am Kazama Yuhina. Nice to meet you", Yuhina said.
"I am Izawa Kokoro. It is a pleasure to meet you." Kokoro said.
"I am Makino Yukina. Nice to meet you." Yukina said.
"It is nice to meet you all." I said.
"Sakura-san, you look very pale. Are you okay?" they asked.
"Yes, I am okay. I just feel a little nausea." I said.
"You should go back to your room to rest." Natsumi said.
"I'm really okay. I can still manage to not black out yet." I said.
"You really should go back. I will accompany you back to the room, okay?" my two childhood friends/ best friends said.
" No, I'm really okay. I was thinking of walking around for fresh air." I replied.
"Okay, we would stick close to in cast you black out anytime, okay?" Ryoma said.
"Okay." I replied.
There were still girls behind the four friends that I just made that wanted to talk to me. Before I walked to them to introduce myself, the gates to the Moon Dorms opened. All the girls including Natsumi, Eiri, Kokoro, Yukina and Yuhina were running towards the gates pulling the three of us along with them. Yuuki and Zero were trying their hardest to block the girls from having any contact with the night class students. As we ran towards the crowd, the girls saw me and gave way for us to walk to the front. As I stood in the front line, I could see why the girls were so found of the night class students. They were very beautiful. You could not find any words that could describe. They were beyond beautiful. The one I was attracted to has chocolate brown messy hair with red colored eyes. He has a very mysterious aura around him. One of the girls at the back of me was so excited that she accidentally pushed me out of the line. I could hear Yuuki, Zero, Ryoma, Sakuno and everyone else were screaming my name. I closed my eyes really tight expecting to come in contact with the ground but instead a pair of cold arms was wrapped around my shoulders. In that instant, I opened my eyes. I could not believe that the person that I was so mesmerized with was the one who saved me. I was so shocked that I did not know what to say. Before I could say anything, he said:
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am. Thank you very much." I replied with a blush on my face.
"I'm glad to hear. Next time be careful.", he said.
Before I could reply, the girls said something like "It is sad to say but I cannot help but agree that they really are perfect for each other".
When I heard that my blush on my face got redder. Then a voice called him:
"Kaname, we should get going." Said Ichijou.
"I should get going. Nice to meet you." He said.
"Nice to meet you. I am Tenjou Sakura. Anata wa?" I asked
" I am Kuran Kaname. See you another time", he said.
"Thank you so much for saving me. See you another time" I replied.
As Kaname walked away, Ryoma, Sakuno, Yuuki, Zero and the five girls ran to me and asked:
"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?" they asked.
"I am okay." I replied.
The girl who accidentally pushed me walked up to me and said:
"I'm sorry for pushing you. Are you okay?" she asked in concern.
"I'm okay." I replied with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that." She replied.
"We should get going back to the dormitory. It is getting dark." Ryoma and Sakuno told everyone.
"Okay" everyone said.
--Moon Classroom Building—
When all of the night class students were seated in the classroom, Takuma went over to Kaname and said:
"It seems like you are distracted since the moment you met that girl earlier." Ichijou said.
"Yes, you are right but I don't know why. The first moment I laid eyes on her my heart feels this warmth that I have never felt before." Kaname replied coolly.
"Not even Yuuki-chan?" Ichijou asked.
"Yes. Whenever I see Yuuki, I do feel the same but it feels different than her." Kaname replied,
"Maybe you are interested in her." Ichijou replied.
"I always thought that Yuuki was the one I would love but after meeting her I am not sure anymore." Kaname said.
Before Ichijou could reply, the teacher came in and told everyone to take his or her seats. When the teacher started teacher, Kaname's mind was on a particular girl.
--At Night (9:00PM)- Sun Dorms--
It was 9:00PM at night, Sakuno was really exhausted so she went to bed first but I was still wide-awake. The reason behind it is because whenever I close my eyes to sleep, Kuran-san's face would appear. I cannot stop thinking of him. After I met him in the moon dorms gates, I cannot take my mind off of him. Instead of lying in bed trying to sleep, I decided to take a walk outside. I walked really lightly so I would not wake up Sakuno. As I exited the room, I walked past Yuuki-san's room and realize that there was no one in there. The lights in her room was still on but I know that no one is in there since I could not hear a single noise coming out from her room. As I walked out of the Sun Form, I decided to walk around the Moon Dorms. When I arrived near the Moon Dorms, I could hear five voices. As I walked closer, I could see Kuran-san and Yuuki talking. Since I do not want to disturb them, I decided to turn around and walk back to the Sun Dorms. When I was not paying attention and was thinking about what relationship Kuran-san have with Yuuki-san, I tripped on a tree branch and fell down. I was expecting to come in contact with the ground but I feel a pair of cold arms wrapped around my shoulder once again. When I opened my eyes, I could see Kuran-san.
"Are you okay? This is the second time we meet again today." He said.
"Yes, I am okay. Thank you for saving me again." I replied.
"What are you doing in this kind of time" he asked.
" I could not sleep so I decided to come out for a walk." I replied.
I realized that he still has his arms wrapped around my shoulder so I tried to get off of him. When I tired to stand up again, a shot of pain shot up my ankle and I feel down again.
" Are you okay?" he asked again in concern.
"Yes." I answered.
I tried getting up again but the pain on my ankle was too much that I fell in Kuran-san's arms again.
"You must have twisted your ankle. You cannot walk in this condition so I would carry you back to your dorms." He said.
"Thank you so much. Sorry for troubling you, Kuran-san." I said.
"Kaname is okay, no need for the formalities." He said.
"Hai! Kaname-san." I said.
Kaname lifted me into his arms and started walking to the Moon Dorms. He might have know what I want to ask so he said:
"I am taking you to the moon dorm is because if we went back to the Sun Dorm, there would a ruckus. You can go straight from the Moon Dorm to the classrooms tomorrow." He said.
"But Yuuki-san said that my uniform would be delivered to me tomorrow morning." I said.
"I would inform the headmaster to tell the person delivering your uniform to the Moon Dorms instead." He said.
"Okay. Thank you." I said with a blush on my face.
After 5 minutes of walking, the temperature started getting colder. I started to shiver. Kaname seems to realize that I am cold so he took off his uniform jacket and wrapped it around me. The scent on the uniform really gives off a really good scent. As we reached the Moon Dorm, a person came out of the moon dorms and said:
"There you are, Kaname. Where have you been?"
"What happened?" Ichijou asked.
"Sakura-san has sprained her ankle so I was carrying her to our dorm to rest since I do not want to disturb Yuuki." Kaname replied.
When I hear Kaname say Yuuki's name, my heart started aching. Actually deep down I know that Kaname likes Yuuki. The way he looks at her gives off the answer. Suddenly tears fall off my eyes. Kaname seems to notice it and asked in concern:
"Are you okay? Is your ankle bothering you?"
"No. I am okay," I replied.
Before Kaname can ask any further, Ichijou has come to my rescue and said:
"Why not we first take Sakura-san to your bedroom to change first?" Ichijou suggested.
"Yes, you are right." Kaname agreed.
So Kaname walked into a big room with no light at all. The room has a desk and books. A couch was placed on the left side of the wall. A door could be seen on the right side of the room. He walked into the other room and placed me down gently on his bed. He kneeled down and started treating my sprained ankle. After the treatment was done, he said:
"Wait for me here. I would need to ask for a change of clothes for you." He said.
"Sorry for the trouble. Thank you." I replied
After a while, Kaname returned with a nightgown. He gave it to me and he went out. As I started changing, I begin to wonder why he cares about me so much. Since he loves Yuuki-san why does he always have to get involved with me. The more I think the more I could not get an answer. When I finished changing, I said:
"Kuran-san, I finished changing." I told Kaname.
He walked back in and asked:
"How is your ankle feeling? Is it still hurting?" he asked .
" It is a lot better now though it still hurts a little. Thank you for your concern." I replied.
"You can sleep on the bed while I sleep on the couch outside." He said
"No! I cannot do that, Kuran-san. I can sleep on the couch." I replied.
"It is not good for your ankle to sleep on the couch." He said.
"But…" I said.
"I understand." I replied
"It is late now. You should go to bed. " He replied.
Before he leaves, without even thinking, I grabbed onto his sleeve. Realizing what I just did, I said:
" I'm sorry! I just do not want to be alone so I…"
"It's okay. I can stay with you until you fall asleep." He said.
"Sorry for troubling you." I said.
"Not at all." He replied.
Kaname then grabbed a chair and sat beside the bed. After 5 minutes, I could feel that my eyelids are starting to get heavy. Before I fall into a deep sleep, I could feel Kaname kissed me on the forehead and said Sweet Dreams.
