Eien : Woo...

Disclaimer : I do not own Maplestory. In fact, I don't even own half of the characters in here.

---------------------------------------------

Somewhere in the small town of Henesys, there was a large building, with a statue of the town's leader next to it. Many adolescents in uniforms with suitcases, book bags, and other forms of carrying cases were scurrying into the building.Standing in the back of the crowd was a red-haired teen, staring at the school.

"This is gonna be my fun new school -tou…" He said. Soon all the other students had made it into the school. Right after, the bell rang."Ah, shimmatta. I'm gonna be late -dekan" the red-head said, running into the building.

---------------------------------------------

In a certain classroom, students were in there seats chattering and gossiping with each other, waiting for class to start.

"Alright everyone, settle down" The teacher said "Today, we have a transfer student joining our class."

"Hello. My name is Akira Kurosaki." The red-head said who was previously outside. It was revealed that his eyes were also red, and that his face was being partially covered and framed by his hair.

"Okay then…" The teacher said "You can go sit in that empty desk in the back."

Akira walked down the column of desks, hearing the whispers hearing the whispers as he went.

"He has scary eyes…" one said

"I heard he's already a Crusader." Said another

"What? Really?" another said in response.

"Wow…"

"So they already know…" Akira muttered to himself as he sat down. He looked up and to his left, and noticed a girl with long, bright red hair and crystal clear blue eyes.

'…She's cute -te…' Akira thought.

---------------------------------------------

The students were currently having their lunch, sitting in their classrooms. Three specific students were sitting together.

"Itadakimasu" the three chimed.

"What do you have, Seiko?" asked one boy. He had shoulder length purple hair that framed his face and purple eyes. He was sitting at the end of the desk.

"A sandwich." Seiko responded bluntly. He was a boy with long orange hair and deep blue eyes.

"I see. Heiji, How about you?"

"Ummmm…I think I accidentally took Nii-chan's bento." Heiji replied.As it turned out, she was the girl that was sitting next to Akira.

"Really? Does he eat any of the things you like?"

"Not exactly…What do you have, Hatori?"

"Just bread and milk."

"I see…then-" Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a loud growl in the back of the classroom. The entire inhabitants of the room looked for the source, and in its general direction sat Akira, his head down on his desk.

"…Ano…Is he alright?" one student asked.

Akira lifted his head enough to show his face. His head then twitched over to the closest source of food, which was currently the three other identified students. They twitched.

"…Is he looking at us?" Heiji asked.

"More specifically, your lunch." Hatori replied.

"…How come only my lunch?"

The purple-head shrugged. "Maybe the gods have something in on you."

"You should just give it to him." Seiko said.

"Why only me? You have lunch too."

"He's looking at your lunch, not mine. Besides, you said you accidentally took your brother's, right?"

She scowled "Alright. I'll do it." She got up from her seat and proceeded to walk towards Akira, whose mouth was becoming a fountain. She lifted the lunch box slightly. "Ano—"

"Ne, Kurosaki-kun, if you'd like, you can have my lunch!" A pink-haired girl said, simultaneously interrupting Heiji and blocking her path. Heiji twitched.

'That little…'

"Honto ni?" Akira asked, his eyes sparkling. The girl nodded, smiling sweetly. "Arigatou!" He began to wolf down the food that she had placed on his desk.

"Ano…Kurosaki-kun…" Another girl, who is to remain nameless said. "You can have mine too."

"Mine too." Said another nameless female in the class. The lunches began to pile on his desk. Akira's eyes were sparkling brightly. "Arigatou, minna –te!"

"Ne, Kurosaki-kun, did you forget your lunch or something?" the pink-haired girl asked.

"No, actually, I arrived before any of my stuff does, so I haven't eaten for 2 days –ni."

"Maji desu ka?!" she asked "In that case, I'll make you lunch every day until your food comes here!"

"Ah, but I don't even know your name…"

"It's Hitomi. Hitomi Hikaritou."

"Oi, how come only you get to make lunch for him?!" One girl asked. Soon, they all started arguing, Akira sweatdropping at his desk.

After a few seconds worth of the commotion, the red-haired girl became irritated, and walked back to her seat. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks, without a word.

---------------------------------------------

Heiji was on her way home, after school. She adjusted her book bag on her back. Then she noticed something.

"You know, stalking is illegal."

"I'm not purposely following you."

"Is that so…Kurosaki-kun."

"It is. Your name, it's Kaosu-san, right?"

"Hai."

They continued walking for a few minutes. Then Heiji's face contorted in annoyance.

"Just how long do you plan on going in the same direction as me?"

"My stop isn't too far from here. It's on the next block –ni."

Heiji's eyebrow twitched. "So is mine…"

"What was that?"

"Nothing…"

"Nii-sama!!" she then heard someone call.

"Eh?"

"Hana-chan –gaa…!"

"Hana-chan?"

A small girl, around the age of 10 ran passed Heiji and to Akira. She wrapped her arms around him, grinning. "Welcome home, Nii-sama!"

"I'm not home yet…"

"So you have a little sister, Kurosaki-kun?" Heiji asked.

"Yeah…" Akira said in response.

The young girl pulled on the boy red-head's shirt. "Ne, Whozzat?" She asked, pointing at Heiji. She was a girl with red hair and eyes like her brother. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail.

"This is my classmate, Heiji Kaosu. Kaosu-san, this is my little sister, Hanabi."

"It's nice to meet you." Heiji said, smiling.

Hanabi stared blankly at her for a while. Then she smiled. "Please be good friends with Nii-sama."

The two teens sweatdropped.

"…Ano…" Heiji said.

"Don't act like you're older than me –dekan…"

"Oh, Nii-sama, that reminds me." Hanabi said, pulling out a small piece of paper from no where. She handed it to Akira, whose expression immediately faltered upon seeing it.

"What is it?" Heiji asked.

"No, it's nothing." Akira said. "Come on Hana-chan, let's go home."

"Hai! I hope to see you soon, Heiji-han!" Hanabi said, following her older brother as he went walked away.

"…Eh?"
