A beautiful day as always, Japan was in Spring. The trees were at bloom and it was such a warm weather. A lovely weather indeed for student to be going to school at St. Ishiyama High. Many students were walking to school happily as always, well…except for maybe one female. Who was walking with her friend Yuna. She didn't seem as happy as she always was which wasn't really like her at all. She was silent the whole walk towards school.

Yuna wasn't going to ask her, because she knew she wouldn't answer her. Unless it was someone like the guy she liked or her brother. He usually went to school early.
"Good morning Izuma-chan, Juunji-chan." A tall male spoke with a smile, who noticed the dark haired female's depressed look.

"Is something the matter?" Yuna shrugged, as she stared at her friend. The female looked up and her onyx eyes could see it was Shinjo Alex. Her long time crush, he was tall, handsome, strong, Captain of the Union Boxing Club, ranked second and won every single match with a single hit! He was an amazing person in all; he was a nice and caring person.

"I-It's just something that happened between myself and my brother." She looked away. Alex knew he couldn't really ask so, he let it slide.
"Well, if you want to talk to me about it more Izuma-chan, I wouldn't mind." He then left off for homeroom.

"Come on Ryoka, you managed to speak to him more. You should have more courage than that! You did go to the same Junior High together!" Yuna was quite angry that she wasn't speaking with him like she usually did. The usual way, she was shy and sometimes struggled to get words out of her mouth.

Ryoka looked away from her friend and gave a gentle smile. Everyone was basically scared of the Rokkisei, except many really liked Izuma Kaname, her older brother who was the Student President and the Vice, Nanami Shizuka. That, or many were just afraid of Sakaki and Shinjo and probably Gou because they were usually serious. Unlike Miki who was only a freshman and his classmates depended on him sometimes.

Once they got to homeroom they all sat in their usual seats. Ryoka did her best to cool down for now, and Yuna just hoped that her friend would confess her feelings for Alex. Otherwise she knew, as her friend she'd have to do something about that, and perhaps she'd be thanked later.
As homeroom ended and class started, there were a few whispers here and there. The day was turning dim and back to bright once again quite slowly.

The students stares were at the Rokkisei as usual, and stepping away so scared as Shinjo and Sakaki were walking through the school halls, it was break time now and as always; Sakaki was carrying his wooden sword at the back of him with his purple carrier. His eyes were always closed, and that did sometimes annoy the hell out of Shinjo for that particular reason.

At lunch, it was so peaceful and quiet at the rooftop and Izuma and her friend Juunji were eating, as usual they were talking, while she had done that someone from behind tapped her and she jumped slightly. Quickly turning around she saw it was the Captain of the Karate Club.

"Oh, it's just you." He didn't seem to like that, and slid across the floor. Quickly getting up with a frown, his fists clutched together.
"What on earth do you mean it's just me!?" He wasn't quite happy of what she said, and he frowned at her.

"Sorry senpai, but you need something…as always." She could tell that he always came to her, the Vice Captain when he needed something. He sighed and looked away from her.
"Well you see, there's a Captain from another school coming and wanting to challenge me but…I er- something's come up so could you handle it? He'd be in the Gym about 4." Quickly the Captain left and she frowned.

"I think he's just a coward." Ryoka sighed; she didn't have a choice now did she?
"I'll be with you, so not to worry!" Yuna smiled at her friend, even though she was in the Judo Club, but she wasn't as skilled as her own friend, probably she learned her skills from her brother, Kaname.

When it was time to head back, she was stopped by her brother.
"Ah Ryoka, I need to stay back for a few paper works. Would you mind doing some shopping? Our parents will be home late."
She bowed in apology.

"Sorry Kaname, my Captain wanted me to look after a guest. I hope you're not mad."
She looked up and saw him smiling, but this scary and tense aura he was giving out, gave her a bad vibe.
"That's alright, I'm not mad at all."

'He's totally mad!' It was obvious, and Ryoka and Yuna decided to run the other way, he usually said he wasn't but he wasn't going to show how angry he was. They ran far and stopped to take a breath, placing their hands on their knees and panted, "that was too close!"
Exclaimed Ryoka, scared out of her wits by her brother; he was scary in his own way.

"You two seem tired, what happened?" A male asked, quickly she looked up and her eyes widened; with a soft blush from his concern. It was touching what he did.
"It's nothing Alex." He raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders, deciding to take his leave. Thinking it must be a girl thing, he didn't want to know.
