Summary: Iroha is sent to Eitoku by her mother who thinks it will do her good, but on her first day she offends the F4. This is a story of a girl who decided to stand up to the F4.
Chapter One
"Miss Matashi?" I nodded at the older man who was standing at the train station, waiting for me. My mother had sent me to live with my cousin and her family because she felt it would better prepare me for the future if I was enrolled in a high class society school with all the rich kids. My Mum's sister was paying all the tuition fees so I really had no choice in the matter. "Follow me please, Miss" He said, taking my luggage from me and walking in the direction of a limousine. My mouth dropped open in awe, I was being picked up in a limousine! The man went to put the luggage in the boot, while another man slightly younger opened the door for me.
"Thank you" I said as I stepped in, a brief look of puzzlement crossed the mans features but I hardly noticed, all my attention turned to the inside of the limo. There were three long seats lined up against the sides of the car, a mini fridge, a playstation and a tv. The seats were leather, it was air conditioned and the windows were highly tinted. I was amazed, I couldn't believe that anybody had the kind of money to pick up their niece in a limo! I don't think I was going to have a hard time adjusting.
"Iroha? Is that really you? Why you have grown so much since I last saw you!" I smiled, while thinking in the back of my mind that I hadn't seen her for ten years and that's why I've grown so much. My mother and her sister had a fight ten years ago because her sister always thought she was far better than my mother, it took alot for my mother to put aside her dislike for her sister but she did it to make sure I was able to attend to Eitoku, the most prestigous high school in Japan. I hugged my Aunt as the butler took my luggage into the house. My Aunt hadn't changed much, she still wore her shoulder length black hair in a ponytail, and still wore the most expensive designer clothes from all over the world. My Aunt reeked of money.
"Sakura! Akashi!" After waiting two seconds my Aunt Hidemi sighed and sent a maid to go get my cousins. Aunt Hidemi led me into the grand house. A girl and a boy trampled down the big marble staircase in front of me, looking disgruntled. Sakura sighed as she spotted me. Sakura had changed alot in the ten years. Sakura had long, curly black hair that reached halfway down her back, her eyes were brown which was emphasised by the amount of make up she wore and her frame was slight and petite. Ever since we were little kids she has never liked me because I always got along better with Akashi than herself, also she thought of me as her poor cousin. Akashi's face lit up and he ran down to give me a hug. Akashi and I had always got along very well, ever since we were young and I was very happy at the welcome he gave me. Akashi had grown handsome in the ten years we had been apart. His jaw line was now defined, his brown eyes sparkled, his teeth as white as snow and his hair was quite complicated. He had a fringe, which was swept to the left side of his face, and the back of his hair was spiked up. It made for a very attractive look and I could only guess that he used that completely to his advantage.
"Iroha! I haven't seen you in years! Why you look all grown up, but I bet I can still build better sandcastles than you!" I laughed and shook my head,
"No way! My sandcastles were always ten times more magestic than your puny little ones" Sakura rolled her eyes,
"Oh grow up! I'm going back to my room" I was a little hurt as she turned on her heel and marched back up the staircase but I shrugged it off as Akashi led me into the living room to catch up.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
I was awoken by a maid who opened the curtains, slowly. She seemed almost afraid of me. I rubbed my eyes and stretched,
"Good Morning" The poor girl jumped and quickly made her way out of the room, well that was odd. I quickly changed into the school uniform which was lying on the table, I then tied my hair up into a ponytail at the top of my head. The door burst open and Akashi came racing in, he grabbed a hold of my hands and started spinning me around in circles,
"Akashiiiiii!" I screamed, laughing. He stopped and instead decided to put me into a headlock, Sakura walked into my room frowning.
"You do realise you aren't six anymore, right? Mum says to get downstairs for breakfast and no more fooling around" Sakura then turned and stalked out of the room. Akashi and I turned to each other before grinning and making our way downstairs.
"Wow! This place is huge!" I stepped out of the limo, staring at my new school in wonder.
"Yeah, but you'll soon find your way around it easy enough! Where's your homeroom?" I pulled out my schedule and handed it to Akashi who then pointed me in the direction of my homeroom. "I've got to go this way, so good luck for your first day!" I nodded and waved as he ran off to his friends who were all staring at me curiously. I turned and started walking in the direction of where Akashi had pointed me. I was almost there when I was bowled over by a boy who was running my way. I lay on the ground wondering what was happening when suddenly a trash can was emptied onto myself and the boy who lay on top of me. I screamed, smelling the stench of the rubbish. The boy quickly rolled off me,
"I'm so sorry" He muttered.
"Why are you apologising? You aren't the one who did this" I replied, smiling, as I took a banana peel off my stomach. The boy helped me up and I heard laughter. I turned to see Sakura standing with her friends, laughing at the state I was in. I scowled at her, but I didn't have a time to say anything because suddenly the crowd starting chanting something that sounded like "F4" and it parted to reveal four boys walking our way. I heard a whimper issue from the boys mouth and I turned to see him extremely pale.
"Are you ok?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He seemed to start shaking and I had no idea why! The four boys stopped in front of us. The boy who was at the front eyed me up. He was covered in labels, and very expensive labels at that. His hair was curly and it seemed as if he lost the competition of trying to tame it every morning.
"Who are you?" He asked, rather rudely.
"Matashi Iroha" I replied quietly, looking down at the floor.
"Why are you covered in trash?"
"I don't know, why don't you ask those boys there" I replied, pointing at the group of boys who had emptied the trash can onto me and the boy.
"Aki ran into her and had her pinned, we didn't realise she was there when we emptied the bin onto her" One of the boys piped up immediately.
"Shut up! Did I ask you to speak, stupid!" He yelled at the poor boy. I gasped, he may have emptied a bin onto me but no one should be talked to that way. And what was with the "Did I ask you to speak" what an up himself jerk! "I'm getting tired of this. Aki, are you ready?" The boy didn't answer, instead he started to shake and looked down at the ground. Ready for what? I didn't have to wonder for long, the jerk pulled back his fist and hit Aki in the face. I gasped, one thing I could not stand was violence. He went to do it again but I stood in the way, earning myself a punch to the jaw. I fell to the ground from the force of the punch.
"What are you doing you stupid girl?" He yelled at me. I stood up, massaging my jaw. I was used to this kind of abuse.
"I will not tolerate violence! What did he do to you, huh?"
"Do you know who I am?" He asked in a dangerously low voice.
"No, should I?" I replied vehmently. I could see the boy at the back, the boy with light brown hair and his hair in his eyes smile a little while the other two boys just shook their heads. I could hear the gasp come from the crowd, apparently this was a bad idea but I didn't understand why. The boy stepped up real close to me,
"I am Tsukasa Domyouji, heir of the Domyouji enterprises, the company which Japan needs to keep running! I control this school" He looked me straight in the eye, "But you don't have to worry about that, for soon you will quit this school. You now have a red notice, courtesy of the F4" He stepped back, "Continue" He said before he started walking away.
"Hey! What are you talking about you jerk! What is the F4? Hey, you-" I was cut off as a cold bucket of water was poured over my head. I screamed, what the hell did they do that for! I looked up to see the boy with the brown hair glance back at me and give me a very small smile. That was when I spotted him, Akashi, standing there pale faced and as if he wanted to hide from me.
"Akashi!" I expected him to come over to me and protect me from the boys, but he just turned and walked away from me. What was going on? I didn't have much time to ponder this before I was pelted with fruit that the kids did not seem to want. The bell rang and luckily the kids stopped, although I received a few kicks as they walked past. I stood up, helping up Aki who seemed to have lost all control of his legs,
"Hey are you alright?" I asked, brusing him off. He nodded,
"You shouldn't have got involved, now they're going to run you out of the school too"
"Who? Why? What is going on!" The boy looked at me sadly, as if he was sorry that I didn't understand anything.
"I guess you are new here?" I nodded, "Well those four guys you saw run this school. If you do even the slightest possible thing to offend them, they give you a red notice. A red notice means everyone at school has to shun you and bully you until finally you can't take it anymore and need to leave the school. Once you have a red notice absolutely no one will talk to you, because that will offend the F4 and they'll get a red notice as well"
"Really? That's horrible! And Mum wanted me to attend this school oh so badly! Well they can try their hardest, but I am here to stay! My mother had to do alot to get me into this school and I won't give up so easily" Aki smiled sadly,
"I wish I had the same strength as you, I think this might be my last day here"
"Aki, don't say that! If you leave then I'll be the only one with a red notice and it will make it unbearable. If we both have a red notice then that means we can be friends when no one else will, right? Come on, you have to stay with me. Where's your homeroom" He pointed to my homeroom, I grinned widely.
"That's mine too! Come on, we can do this alright?" He smiled a little as we made our way to the class.
