Disclaimer: I don't own Hanazakari No Kimitachi E. I do own this story though!

Kayashima is shocked when someone the group meets has an "unreadable" aura. This opens to curiosity, and maybe… something else? Perhaps a… opposed pairing, but I don't give a rip! XD

Chapter 1------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the school trip to Hokkaido when he met her.

Or at least, got a chance to truly meet her.

She was Mizuki's friend, and seemingly, just like every other girl. Even Mizuki (yes, Kayashima knew INSTANTLY that Mizuki-chan was indeed Mizuki-chan).

At least to everyone but Kayashima Taiki.

You see, Kayashima isn't like the other guys. He's not bad-looking. On the contrary, he's had his share of girls that were interested in him, but the girls usually stopped talking to him after learning of his… abilities.

To see auras, and expose and expel spirits.

This made surrounding himself with "positive auras," or good people, that much easier. The problem was getting them to stay with him once they learned of his abilities.

So far, only Mizuki Ashiya, Izumi Sano, Shuichi Nakatsu, and the "bumbling idiots," Noe and Sekime, managed to tolerate, and even enjoy Kayashima's random, and sometimes creepy spirit/aura readings.

The problem was, when he met her… he couldn't read her aura.

He could remember her shy, but straight greeting as she smiled brightly in the group's direction, and bowed gracefully at the hotel.

"Hajimemashite. Watashi no namae wa Umeda Rio desu. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

It was from that moment that the hook of intrigue firmly implanted itself into Kayashima, and for the first time in a long time, he could not make judgments on a person. There was absolutely no readable aura emanating from her being. It was like she could make herself… transparent…

'Who… is this girl?'

Hook, line, and sinker.

I know, I need to be slapped for taking on another story…

And I know, it's short, but hey, it IS an intro only!

But the thing is, I'm at a different location from the hard drive on which the other stories are written, so it's going to be challenging to reup those stories, but I'm getting inspired again, so be on the lookout!

Please review! This story was simply a whim, and I'll likely not continue if no one likes it.

Machiko-Chan .
