Hello everyone. It's my first anime fanfiction but don't worry to much. I'm not a stranger to it. I got an inspiration to start it from a friend - XxInLoveWithMyBestFriendxX . Anyways...Hope you enjoy it! I don't mean to be selfish but reviews are highly wanted ^_^; And if you don't like the first person writing style please tell me! I don't usually write that way anyhow, so it wouldn't bother me if you said something. Thanks :)


'What the hell?' I thought to myself as I gently messaged my left shoulder. I looked down and around me, now aware that I was sitting up after previously being laid down on a couch. I had to admit that it was a very nice couch, and a well decorated room. Shaking my head clear, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes I called out to the doors that were ahead of me. One to the left of the couch, the other straight ahead. "Hello? Can someone please tell me why and preferably where I am?" I asked. With no answer I slowly stood onto my feet which I came to realize didn't have socks, let alone shoes. The dirt on them gave the skin that lapped over the tired muscles a kind of grey-ish black tint to the normal peach-like color. I was a bit lightheaded, but was still able to walk to the door straight ahead of me. 'Please don't be a closet,' I began to think and was quite pleased when I opened the door to find a larger room that seemed to withhold a small area to the right where there were couches opposite of a centered coffee table, and to my left a work area with a large desk piled with papers. Two chairs sat facing the desk and to them I walked to. "Hellooo?" I called out again in a sing-song voice. 'What is this place?' Sooner than expected, my thought was answered as a tall man with long blonde hair pulled up in a pony tail entered the room.

~Looking at the girl his expression brightened after pushing up his small circular glasses. "Oh good! You're awake!" he exclaimed joyously. "We were worried about you missy!" he said in a lovely scolding tone as he wrapped the light brown haired girl in a hug.

"Um...we?" I said awkwardly and bewildered, not knowing what to do other than accept the hug. It was quite apparent that the man thought I was someone I wasn't.

~"Yuuki-chan! She's awake now!" the man called out in a sing-song voice. Turning his head back down to the girl and releasing her from the hug, he gave her a quite serious of a look. "Although you're in your Day Class uniform, I have come to the conclusion that I don't know who you are, nor have I found you enrolled here."

My eyes went wide in shock. 'I picked out a uniform!' I thought in horror. That was the last thing I meant to steal, but it was the only thing I could find. Now I remember...I was in a market place of some kind and my original clothes were far from clean, so I went into a store and was able to sneak out a few things. After that I went down to the river to wash up and then back to the small tent I lived in. I can honestly say I don't remember my parents all that much but I do remember how to take semi-good care of myself. Bringing myself to tell the truth, I explained everything to the man in front of me, who introduced himself as the Chairman of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, and the girl named Yuuki who had come in as well. Both took in an immediate understanding which I was more than glad for.

~"You poor, poor child. From this point on, I wish to take care of you Miss..." Kaien began to say with a noble fist in the air. Until it was that he realized he still didn't know the girl's name. "Miss...?"

"Toudou. I'm Miho Toudou," I said a bit confused at the moment. But really...could you blame me? The somewhat flamboyant Chairman was practically saying he wanted to adopt me.

~"Right. Miho Toudou. With Yuuki's acceptance and with yours of course, I'd like to adopt you as my own," he said with joyful puppy-like eyes.

...Okay, so he was saying he wanted to adopt me. No practically about it. Seeing Yuuki's bright smile and excited "Of course!" gave me a warm feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time. "Well, I don't have anywhere else I need to be, so I'd love to," I said warmly and was soon embraced in just as warm of hugs from both Kaien and Yuuki Cross. After they released me from their welcoming grasp I couldn't help but smile brightly for the first time in a while. My eyes even stung a bit from the joyous tears that screamed to be let loose onto my cheek and flow to my lips where once again they would disappear. I didn't let myself cry, but forced it back with a strong swallow. For the first time that I can ever remember, I had a father and a sister...I had a family.
