Hey guys! Alex here with a new RanRei fanfic. Woo hoo! owo
I don't know if any of you have seen this film before, but it was always one of my favourite Disney movies, it was called "Another Cinderella Story", and I adore being able to say that I got my idea for this from that movie. If you have not seen this movie, I encourage you to watch it, I love it to death, even if it's a movie meant for younger teens and children.
Of course, this is not a total rip-off of the movie, I would never want that. o.o;; In fact, there will be a heck of a lot of differences between my story and the movie!
Oh, and if you're wondering, yes I will do more fanfics with other UtaPri shippings. I have a long one based on WW2 where the UtaPri characters are serving under the German Fuher's army and many different pairings will ensure. Also, I have a CSI Tokittoki one-shot I'll be posting soon.
Ah, anyway, on with the story! I do not own UtaPri or any of it's characters, and I do not own Another Cinderella Story, I simply got my idea for this new fanfic from watching it.
"Rei-chan, dear! The order for table number five is ready!"
"Coming! Give me one sec' to get this order taken and I'll be right there!"
It was early in the morning, the bright yellow sun being surrounded by a clear blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds.
Along a busy street in Tokyo was a bustling Bentou shop always unbelievably busy. Even when it was late at night or early in the morning-such as it was now-it was always jam packed with hungry customers.
Three different sets of brown-hair could be seen through the window of the shop, each resembling in colour, but all different in style. Along with that, the occupants of the hair were all different heights, wore different clothes, and had voices that didn't sound like anything alike.
In fact, the resemblance between them could be only seen when you looked at their faces, which had the same kinds of complexions. Not to mention those sparkly silver eyes were alike in many ways, showing that these figures must have been related.
The motherly-figured behind the cash-register had long, wavy brown hair that reached her mid-back. Her smile was warm and welcoming and her cheeks were still a bit plump, making her look much younger then she actually was.
The two brown-haired teenagers moving about the main-area of the restaurant were her kids, Reiji and Raiko.
Raiko was the oldest sibling, with hair shorter then her younger-brother's that just touched her shoulders. Her completion was also more distinctively feminine, while her brother's was-thank god-more masculine.
Said brother's hair flowed over his shoulders and just curled at the ends, his handsome smile making him the more liked server among the customers, despite the fact that his older-sister was rather beautiful for a woman.
"Wait! Mom, I can't! Me and sis gotta' get to school!"
"Oh dear, I'll get it served and I'll handle the shop from here then, you two get to school."
The aprons around both Raiko and Reiji's waists were almost automatically yanked off and thrown onto the rack behind the front desk their mother was standing behind, the two snatching up their matching school bags and running out of the eatery, slinging them on over their shoulders as they sprinted.
"Jesus, business just wont slow down for us, will it~?" Raiko asked in a breathless tone once her and her brother had slowed down to a nice paced. "No, the shop just seems to be getting busier and busier~." Reiji replied, letting out a light laugh and crossing his arms behind his head, glancing at his sister as they walked side by side "Yeah, but who cares! More pay for us!" Raiko said, Reiji laughing a bit more and just nodding in agreement, grinning a bit as he leaned over to nudge his sister. "Ne, are you excited to see your boyfriend again today~?"
Raiko let out a high-pitched squeak, glaring at her younger-sibling, who she knew was teasing her. "He isn't my boyfriend!" She said, a light blush on her pale cheeks.
"I heard you two in your room last night, I'm pretty sure he's your boyfriend~." Reiji hummed, Raiko's cheeks turning an even darker shade of pink.
"What was that I remember hearing~? 'Ahh~! Darien, more! Oh god, nnh~! More'!" Reiji imitated his sister by using a high-pitched voice and letting out these loud, girly-sounding fake moans, which only embarrassed Raiko further.
"S-shut up!" She shouted, reaching up to yank on Reiji's hair, her intentions being to cause him a bit of pain which obviously failed when he only started laughing all over again.
"I'll kill you, Reiji!"
"Not if you can't catch me!"
"God dam-GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"
Laughs could be heard echoing down the school hallway as Reiji slid through a large group of students, pushing his way through them and not stopping until he was he had lost his sister.
"Phew, for a minute there, I thought she was gonna' catch me!" He audibly chuckled, jumping and shrieking when there was a sudden tap on his shoulder.
"Woah, woah, woah! Calm down, Rei-chan! It's just me!"
Reiji blinked when the familiar voice spoke to him and he quickly spun around, only to see a patch of messy red-hair and sparkly, bright-red eyes that resembled rubies in every way possible.
"Oh, god...Otoyan, you scared me..." Reiji sighed, pressing his hand to his chest as he willed his erratic heart rate to slow. "S-sorry!" The red-head quickly apologized, the older-but shorter-brunette in front of him just waving his free hand, dismissing the apology. "Don't worry about-"
"Ooh, ooh! Rei-chan! I gotta' tell you something! You wont believe who's coming to our school!"
Reiji blinked when he was suddenly interrupted, a small smile coming to his lips; he had been friends with Otoya for quite some time now and he had long ago gotten used to how talkative the red-head could be. "Who is it?" He asked, not caring too much about being interrupted.
"Guess!"
"Uhh-"
"Come on, guess!"
"Otoyan-"
"GUESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"
"U-uh! I don't know!" Reiji frantically flailed his arms. "You know I'm bad at the guessing game!"
Otoya slowly blinked before sighing, throwing his hands up, and blurting out, "KUROSAKI-KUN!"
Reiji's head slowly tilted. "That really popular singer-guy all the girls are in a rave about?"
"Yes, him!" Otoya clapped his hands together. "Aren't you excited?! He might end up in some of our classes! What if we get to meet him?! Oh, he's so good-looking!"
Reiji smiled a bit more and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "My sister is always talking about him, so I try to stray away from listening to him since I have to hear about him on a daily basis-"
"WHAT?!"
Reiji held his hands up in defense. "That and I'm always busy!" He claimed, quickly adding on, "But that doesn't mean I don't listen to him!"
Otoya huffed a bit, blowing a few strands of hair out of his eyes before he pressed his hands to his hips. "Jeez, Rei-chan, you're getting more and more uncool every day."
Reiji rolled his eyes. "You cant hate this." He chimed, gesturing to his own body before he grinned, Otoya soon grinning back.
They both blinked when the school bell suddenly rang though, telling everyone in the hallways to get on to class.
"Oh shoot, we better get on to French!"
Otoya blinked, the place where his friend had previously been standing now vacant. "Eh?! Rei-chan?!"
"I'm off to French, Otoyan~!"
When Otoya looked up, Reiji was already disappearing around the nearest corner, waving to him as he did so.
"G-GAH! W-wait up!" He cried, stumbling to chase after the brunette through the crowd of students disappearing into different classrooms.
"Mr. Kotobuki!"
SMACK!
A wooden yard-stick smacked down on a desk, causing the head laying on it to jerk up almost automatically.
"I'm glad you're finally with us; don't fall asleep in my class again. You're not the Princess in the room, so you can't do and act as you please. Pay attention." The feminine-but surprisingly male-teacher huffed, resting the yard stick in his right hand on his shoulder.
"A-ah? Sorry Ringo-Sensei." Reiji-who was now sitting back up in his chair-said, rubbing both of his eyes. "Guess I didn't get enough sleep last night."
"That's no excuse~!" The pink-haired teacher chimed, turning to stride his way back up to the front of the room so he could set his yard-stick down and clap his hands together.
"Now now, class! As I was saying, we'll be having a new student join today!"
Almost instantly, the group of students broke out into a chatter, Reiji being the only one to stay quiet.
Otoya-who was sitting directly behind him-leaned forward so he could whisper into Reiji's ear, "I hope we're getting Kurosaki-kun!"
"Quiet down, quiet down!" Ringo called out, the chatter quickly dying down and everyone focusing back on him again.
"Anyway, as I was saying, someone new will be joining us today, so be nice! Sweetie, why don't you come on in~?" Ringo gestured to the door, which then opened, the new 'student' walking in.
Cue every girl-plus a few guys-in the room squealing their lungs out.
"Students, I want you to meet Ranmaru Kurosaki, he will be joining us, but he does not wish to be treated like the celebrity he is, alright? He wants to be treated like he's just like you." Ringo explained, the teen pushing his hands into the pockets of his black leather hoodie.
His multi-coloured eyes scanned over the rows of students, not stopping until they met with mercury-silver ones.
His eye contact with Reiji kept a little while longer until the teacher spoke to him.
"Okay, Kursosaki-kun! Where would you like to si-"
"Give me the red-head's seat, the one in the very back. Move him somewhere else."
"EHHHH?!" Otoya cried out in disbelief; he was a fan of the silver-head's singing, but he was sitting behind his best friend! He didn't want to move!
"Very well, Ittoki-kun, move to the front."
"B-but-!"
Ringo gave a stern look and Otoya let out a sigh of defeat, picking up his bag and leaning down to whisper into Reiji's ear, "Why are you always the lucky one?" before making his way four desks ahead to the front, plopping down in an empty desk.
Reiji let out a small chuckle when his red-headed friend slugged past him to the front, his eyes becoming latched back onto Ranmaru's face.
He looked at me and almost automatically chose the seat behind me...Great, some famous teenager I don't listen to already doesn't like me. He thought, resisting the urge to groan.
"Well don't just stand there, take your seat so we can start!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going." Ranmaru grumbled when Ringo ushered him forward, a bunch girls staring and giggling at him as he strode his way down the row of desks to sit down in the seat right behind Reiji, propping his boot-covered feet up on the girl's desk directly across from him, said female squealing under her breath.
Reiji, once again, seemed to be the only one in the room not effected by the superstar's presence, in fact, he was more comfortable then usual, his chin resting in his palm and his elbow resting on his desk.
It's to early in the morning for this... He thought with a small yawn, letting his eyes fall shut again.
"MR. KOTOBUKI!"
"For the love of god, what?!" Reiji did not mean to sound disrespectful to his teacher, but he had been about three seconds away from drifting off into another nice nap, his eyes still shut and his long eye-lashes pressing against his cheeks.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, Ringo-sensei...I apologize, what was it that you needed?"
"I asked you to repeat the phrase, 'Good day sir, would you like strawberries and whip-cream on that shake?' in the language I have been teaching you for half a year."
"Mon bon monsieur de jour, souhaitez-vous les fraises et crème de fouet à cette secousse." The brunette stated almost automatically replied, yawning a bit once he had finished speaking.
Ringo nodded in approval and soon continued on with the lesson.
"You're pretty smart, huh'?" Reiji's eyes fluttered open when a deep, smooth voice spoke to him, a pair of bright purple and silver-eyes looking at him from behind.
"You could say that~." Reiji hummed casually, not caring about the envious looks a few girls threw at him, jealous of the fact that the idol had spoken to him.
"Hmm...you should tutor me sometime. I don't know shit about this 'French' crap."
Reiji blinked at that, turning around a bit to face the silver-head, a bit startled for a moment.
He hadn't noticed how incredibly attractive Ranmaru was when he was standing up at the front of the room. Now that he was closer, he looked really handsome.
"You want me to tutor you? Don'cha have some special person to help you with school stuff?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowing together.
"Look, do you want to tutor me or not?" Ranmaru asked in an irritated tone, a small smirk slowly forming on his lips. "You'll get to hang out with a celebrity, and Ranmaru Kurosaki of all people..." He whispered hotly, leaning closer to the brunette. "Who knows all of the different things you could experience while at my house..."
Reiji's cheeks heated up a bit but he quickly played off his sudden embarrassment coolly, his own voice lowering a bit to turn seductive. "You'd be the one learning new things, pretty boy...I would be the teacher, and the student has to learn from the teacher...not the other way around."
Ranmaru blinked and leaned back in his chair, watching Reiji stick his tongue out teasingly before turning back around to face the board.
"...You got a name, kid?" He asked after a few minutes went by, Reiji responding only moments later. "Reiji Kotobuki."
Well I think we'll be good friends, Kotobuki-san.
Ahh, such a slow and boring chapter, I know! It's a pain getting a long story started, but you know, to get to the more entertaining things, you must always get through the exposition, so just be patient! I promise the whole 'Cinderella' thing will be incorporated into the next few chapters, I promise!
Oh, and just to mention, Otoya, Reiji, Ranmaru, and any other guys from STARISH or Quartet Night I incorporate into this fanfic will all be Seniors, so you know, it'll be in their last year of high school! And yes, that means prom will be coming up really soon! :DD
Reviews are welcome~. :3
