She hated today; although it just started. She hated the fact that she just moved from Kyouto to Domino City, knowing absolutely no one in the town. She hated the fact that she had to go to a different school, anticipating it will be the same as her old one. But what she loathed was... the rain. How it splattered about outside filled her thoughts with displeasing images. Images which made her uncomfortable whenever the droplets fell along her window pane. Trembling, she brought her cloth over to her exposed skin, scrubbing it continuously; almost leaving her skin red.

After she was done bathing herself, she stepped out of the tub and wrapped the towel around herself securely. The wood-colored strands of her hair laid flat on her head, it's aroma the sweet scent of apricots.

She tread quietly to her new room, barely decorated. It's only color on the walls was tan, with a dark brown carpet to match. She toss her towel on the small dresser after closing her door. She soothed her skin with lotion; alas carrying the scent of apricots.

After putting on her other products and under garments, she picked up her school fuku which laid on her futon. "I'll roll it up later..." she mumbled to herself as she stepped over her bed. She changed into her fuku, and observed herself in the mirror. The colors were of pink and blue. Pink being the school jacket and blue being the skirt. Of course, she hated wearing skirts or dresses. She never looked good in them; not like the pretty girls that went to her old school. She always compared herself to them, though she lost at the comparison. She walked over to her small night stand which sat in a corner, and picked up her eyeglasses. She placed them over her face and brushed some of her damp hair over her face. She pulled her knee-high white socks over her legs and head out of her room.

Just down ten steps from the room was the small kitchen. Like her room, it was very plain as well. She went into the small refrigerator and took out two bentou and placed them in two separted book bags. In one of the bags, she placed a bottle of water next to the lunch.

"Nee-chan..." a soft voice cried out, making the girl jump a little.

She turned her attention to the owner of the voice. Agony cried out from his eyes as the brown looked at her blue with a sorrowed look. "What is it, Ryou?" she replied.

"Have you seen my medication? I can't find it anywhere..."

"Oh, that's right!" the girl said as she passed the boy. She opened the medicine cabinet and took out a small orange bottle. "I've placed it in here after you took it last night... sorry... " the girl apologized as she came back in the kitchen, handing the boy the bottle.

"It's alright," he said in his usual sad voice, but with a pinch of reassurance.

He walked over to the water faucet and filled a cup with water he had taken out. He put some of the clear liquid in his mouth before popping the pill in and swolloing it. He gulped down the rest of the water and wiped the remaiding liquid with his plae hand. Throughout the whole time, his sister was looking at him. She was admiring the new fuku he was wearing, a way different attire than his other, which was a plaid-blue vest over a white shirt and plaid blue pants; signifying that he went to a special school.

The girl noticed the uneven collar around her brother's neck. "Ryou, you're collard is crooked," she said gently, reaching her hand out to the dark blue collard, straightening to its right proportions. Her hand reached up to his bleached hair, patting it down softly. Her eyes slowly looked up at the taller boy, then quickly looked down as she pulled away.

"We should get going, we don't want to miss the bus," she said softly, heading toward the bags. "Don't take off your jacket either," She handed Ryou one of the bags.

"I know Nee-chan..." he replied softly, taking the bag which was handed to him.

"And once you feel him trying to come out, take one of those pills. I packed some water in the bag,"

"Thank you,"

"And don't forget, you have a doctors appointment right after school too," She headed toward the door and opened it.

"I haven't forgotten," Ryou replied as he followed his sister behind.

As the two stepped outside, Ryou locked and closed the door behind him.

The bus stop wasn't too far from their small apartment. Right down the stars were other group of kids wearing the same fuku as the siblings. They stood by their peers, waiting for the bus to come. Few eyes fell upon the two, causing the girl to sweat slightly. Her attention was at the ground, along with Ryou's. Remote whispers were heard, coming from the girls. Few seconds later, the girls started to giggle as they talked about the attractive new boy. Ryou heard their quiet voices, and continued to look down.

The bus finally came into view. As it pulled up, the students started to board the bus; the two siblings got on last. They choose the first two-seaters in the front.

It was silent between the two as the bus drove to its destination. "Nee-chan?" Ryou asked in soflty, breaking the silence between the two.

"Hmm?" she replied as she slightly turned her head around.

"I'm scared... What if it happens?"

"It won't. Just stay calm and if anything does seem strange, just take the pills."

Ryou's eyes lightened up after his next statement, "I really hope you have a wonderful day at school, Ni-chan,"

She looked out the window and sighed. "Like I ever have a wonderful day at school..." she mumbled.

"But maybe you might today.... Well I wish you a wonderful day,"

"Thanks Ryou..."

The bus slowed down and the students started to get up from their seats and exited the bus. As the two siblings exited the bus, they noticed the large school before them. The katakana and kanji displayed on the school read "Domino High School." The two timidly walked up to the large building. It was a big school, but wasn't as big as the school in Kyouto, which had a much larger population.

Just as the two started to walk in the school doors, swarm of girls gathered around Ryou, giggling and asking him many questions. His sister mouth began to move, wanting to call out Ryou's name, but soon became mute when the chattering and giggling became much louder. She didn't protest, and closed her mouth quickly. Not wanting to disturb her brother, she quickly entered the school.

She looked around, noticing the differences from her old school and this one. Trying to find her way to the office, great pain ached in her head as she fell back on the ground. She rubbed her head gently after the collision she had against someone else. She slightly looked up, only to see another girl in front of her, standing with her hands gripped on her hips. The other girl was quite tall, and very attractive. Her hair laid calmly on her shoulders and the hues of lavender blinked ferociously at the fallen girl. She stood up and bowed continuously. "I'm so very sorry! I should have looked where I was going!"

"Yeah, should have, shouldn't you!? But you thought the floor was that damn interesting instead of what's in front of you!" the other girl snapped.

"C'mon Mai, let's go," another girl said as she started to walk away.

Mai flipped her golden hair up. "Next time, watch where you're going," she said lastly and walked off with her other friends.

The girl was left slightly scared, but that feeling was new to her. The words of her brother echoed in her head. "I wish you a wonderful day," She sighed softly and started wander down the hall. 'He purposely jinx it...' she thought to herself.

Before was the office. She opened the door and slipped into the room. She walked quietly to the desk, slightly lifting her head to the secretary. "Excuse me," she started off quietly. "I am new here and was asked a few days ago to report here on this date for my first day here..." she finished in a mere whisper.

The secretary smacked her chewing gum rather irritating, having one hand on her hand and the other on the keyboard. "Where's the paper you've gotten the other day with your schedule?" she asked threw her chewing gum.

The girl pulled out her schedule and hesitantly handed it to the older woman. She typed a few words in school's data base and quickly looked up at the girl. "I've gotcha confirmed in the computer, so just sit ova there at the chair and wait for the teacher to come and sign in," the woman said as she pointed to a chestnut-colored chair.

The girl followed her instructions and sat on the chair. She waited patiently for her teacher to come. The door have swung opened, exciting the girl a little, hoping it to be the teacher, but alas, it was only her brother. He finally made his way out of the mob of girls. Ryou looked down at his older sister and smiled blissfully. She shly waved her hand at him as he walked to the desk. The same questions we're asked to him as to his sister. After being given the instructions, he sat next to his sister.

"Nee-chan...?" he asked in a somewhat whining voice.

"Hmm?" she replied while turning her head slightly toward her younger brother.

"Why... did you leave me alone with them?"

She looked down at her lap. "Well I... didn't want to disturb you..."

Ryou slightly grasped on to his sister's hand. She jumped a little and soon relaxed. She looked slightly at his pale hand. She rubbed her thumb slightly on a almost-faded scar. Ryou looked up slightly at his other sister then down in guilt.

"It's not your fault, Ryou..." she said softly.

He didn't reply, but only sighed heavily. The door opened again, causing the two to let go. A woman, looking very similar as the girl with golden hair, walked up to the desk and signed in. She looked over at the auburn-hair girl, already being informed that she was the new student. She walked up to the girl, brightly smiling. "Hello. You must be our new transfer student from Kyouto, right?" the woman spoke.

The girl nodded, not really looking up at the teacher. She stood up and walked out of the office, following the teacher. Before she completely exited the office, she waved her hand at her brother.

"My name is Ms. Chonou and I hope you enjoy our school," the teacher said as she walked her down the hall. The two finally stopped in front of class 1-B. Ms. Chouno turned around to the girl. "Stay here until I call you in," she said as she opened the door and entered the class.

Chattering students continued to talk away; girls talking about the latest fashions, guys going on about a previous sport game. Ms. Chonou cleared her throat. "WOULD YOU BRATS SHUT UP! CLASS IS STARTING!"

Communication ceased as they all turned correctly in their seats. Ms. Chonou smiled sweetly and continued to finish her announcement. "Now, before we begin class, we have a new student from Kyouto,"

Chattering filled the class again, all conversations talking about how the new girl was going to be. "You may come in now,"

The door opened and all takling concluded. Heads turned over to the door while their eyes followed her to the front of the class. "Please introduce yourself to the class," Ms. Chouno said.

Not even bothering to look up, she spoke her name. "Mu-Mu-My name is... is... "already, her ears were filled with the giggling of the girls and chuckling of the guys. "My name is... Mazaki... Anzu... "she softly finished. She could feel her body precipitating both sweat and tears, and she refused to lift her head up to the class.

"Miss Mazaki, take a seat in the back, the one next to the window, " the teacher instructed.

Anzu drag her feet to her new desk in the back, not once looking up. She already received her books, so she decided to take them out of her bag, along with her notebook and pencil. Not knowing what's really going on, she decided to doodle in her notebook. She haven't noticed the soft lavender on the side of her that stared at her and the picture she was drawing.

'This is just like my old school," she thought. 'She pushed her glasses up and continued drawing; a young woman, endless tresses of dark trailed along in her movements as she appeared to be dancing in the picture. Lilacs bloomed in amazement as they watched the perfection of her picture. But of course, she haven't felt eyes intensily staring at her picture...
