First day of school

Shuichi's P.O.V

"Mooom! Where's my uniform?! Its the first day of school I can't be late." I yelled through the hallways running to my room. I knew I woke Mayna up because I heard her crying.

And because I heard my mom say "Shu-chan, dear, keep your voice down." She said it as gentle as ever. Not once have I heard her raise her voice.

She knocked on my door so I went and opened it. I saw her there with a smile on her face and Mayna-chan in her arms fast asleep once again.

Mom could always make her stop crying. I noticed she was ready for work as well, with her hair up neatly and make up in place.

She's a doctor at a near by hospital and sometimes the school nurse at Gakuen Heaven (1) which is by the way my school. As a doctor she's hardly home but she always takes a personal time off on times like summer vacation and winter vacation. So we can spend time together.

Mayna is my little sister by the way, she's the cutest of all the babies in the world. She has purple eyes that sparkle like mom's and mine, though you can't see it now behind her eye lids.

She has rosy cheeks that are a little chubby just like any baby that was just screaming to be pinched! Her hair was already thick though she was only 9 months old. Its dark brown unlike mine and mom's which is pink. But it's still silky and shines underneath the sun .

(A/N: back to the earlier conversation)

"Dear, did you check the laundry room? And put some other shirt first you might catch a cold." She said with a hint of concern.

"No, I forgot to check there." I said with a silly grin. "And don't worry mom I'll be fine and plus I have you there to take care of me."

"That's true but I don't want you getting sick, and you should hurry its already 6:00. Don't forget to eat breakfast okay?." She said leaving my room.

"Yes mom, I know." I replied.

After finally getting dressed combing my hair and all the other things. I raced down stairs to see its 6:20 already. I ate my breakfast as fast as I could with my mom warning me to slow down or I might choke on something. She worries too much really but I know she only does because she cares. By the time I finished, it was 6:30, time to head out. I got my things headed for the door and put my shoes on.

"I'm going mom, safe drive to work, ok?." With that I kissed both my mom and Mayna-chan on the cheeks and went ahead.

Not before of course I heard my mom say "Ok dear, be careful walking to school be sure to look both ways before crossing the streets."

I walk to school almost everyday even last year and the years before that. Mom always says the same thing. She always use to ask if I want her to give me a ride but I always turn her down. Its only a 10 to 15 minute walk anyways, so no need to bother her for it, she also has work. School starts at 7:00 so I usually get there with 15 minutes to spare.

As I was walking a lady in a car passed by waving at me and I recognized her instantly, it's Sakura-san.

"Be safe." She called out. "Hai" I called back.

She's our caretaker she lives with us on school days because mom's always at work. She goes home when school is out (A/N: i mean on summer vacation and other long vacations) and sometimes on weekends. She's really nice she's been our caretaker since I was a baby. She's in her forty's I think but I call her by her first name since I've known her for 9 years now, we're pretty close, you could say.

The minute I stepped in school grounds I was greeted by my friends Ayaka Usami and Suguru Fujisaki. Of course the moment I saw them I jumped on them to give them a hug. They always say no one can beat my hugs! But either way they hugged me back laughing. "Your as hyper as ever Shuichi!" Suguru-kun said with a smile.

Ayaka-chan has long brown hair which she got from her mom and blue eyes she got from her dad. Suguru-kun has dark green hair and brown eyes he got them both from his dad. I have another friend Hiroshi Nanako he's probably late like usual though even he's always late his grades are always above average. He's a year older than me though. He has long red hair from his dad and light blue eyes from his mom.

We got into talking on how unlucky we were that we weren't on the same class this year like we were last year. But that was ok we can always talk at recess and lunch break. We also talked about what we did over vacation.

After a while though the bell rang so we had to go our seprate ways.

At lunch break was where I saw Hiro-nii-san with his friends. He stayed with us for a while. But of course when I saw him I gave him one of my big hugs which he returned. After we talked and teased him on being late on the first day of school he sat down next to Ayaka. Who was completely quiet. "Ne Shuichi don't you think Ayaka's blushing?" Suguru started. And she was.

"Yeah I think her face is starting to look like Hiro-nii-san's hair." I teased.

"Oh be quite." She replied looking down effectively hiding her face behind her hair.

"Why do the both of you always tease her?" Hiro asked.

"Hiro-nii-san why do you always sit next to her?" Suguru and I said in unison while smirking. It was true there were only 4 of us but the table we were at can fit 12. After that he made up an excuse and he left to meet up with his other friends Taki-nii-san and Ma-nii-san.

"You made him leave." whined Ayaka.

Taki-nii-san and Ma-nii-san are both guys but are rumored to like each other romanticly but they always deny it. From Hiro-nii-san though he says that they like each other but they just want to leave it as it is. And not become a couple since they were only in the 5th grade that it was just a crush and that it will soon pass.

As for Ayaka And Hiro-nii-san I know for a fact that they do like each other but they're both oblivious to it. Hiro-nii-san told me over the summer while Ayaka has had a crush on him since forever. And I'm sure Hiro-nii-san just left because he was starting to blush himself probably embarassed at pointing out the obvious.

After a while of Ayaka getting mad at us for teasing her we got into another conversation.

"Hey you know my cousin Tohma-san called last night." Suguru started. A hint of eagerness in his tone and a smile on his face.

"Oh what did he say?" I asked a bit curious. Suguru mentioned him once and said that they don't talk much and hardly see each other anymore. I was curious beacuse Suguru once told us that he admired that cousin of his and that when they were younger they got along great but then they moved to Kyoto. They're bond started beacuse both played the piano.

"Is he coming back?" asked Ayaka in curiosity. I guess she could see the look on Suguru's face too.

"Yeah he's coming back and apparently he got married! Her name is Mika Uesugi-Seguchi. She has two brother's Tatsuha-kun and Eiri-san. He's coming back and not only that they're a permanent resident here in Tokyo. Mika-san's little brother is living with them too but only one of them I think its Eiri-san he's in the 6th grade though Tatsuha couldn't because they're father wanted him to stay at their temple and he's only in the 2nd grade. And cousin Tohma said once he gets back we can spend more time together and he said he's going to teach me more new songs to play on the piano."

He finished with a wider smile on his face and you could tell he was more into the piano lesson than anything.

"That's great!" Ayaka and I said in unison with a smile.

"I know! I'm so excited for their arrival! Oh and here's a picture of him and his new family." He said while handing us a picture.

In the picture stood a woman with long brown hair and dark blue eyes whom I guessed as Mika-san next to her was a man with blonde hair and green eyes with his arm placed around the waist of Mika-san which was obvious that this was Tohma-san, Suguru's cousin. In front of them was two kids one looked younger than us so I guessed it was Tatsuha-kun he had black hair and brown eyes.

"Hey look at him he's cute...but of course not cuter than Hiro-nii-san." Ayaka said rather bashfully though she whispered the last part but even though we heard her.

"In your eyes no one is better than Hiro-nii-san Ayaka" Suguru said in a teasing tone turning to look at me and I nodded to let them know I agreed. We laughed of course while she blushed once again.

I looked at the guy she was pointing at. He had blonde hair and same golden eyes. He's eyes was amazing, it standed out it was something I could stare at all day. One look at it and I had agreed with Ayaka with a little correction.

'He's a LOT cuter than Hiro-nii-san' I thought as I smiled inwardly.

"I hope to meet with you soon Eiri-san" I whispered to myself.

A/N: That's the first chapter. I hope you review... And if you have seen anything that needs corrections please let me know.

I'm not sure if the description on their hair color and eye color was right though I got the info at absoluteanime dot com

1) Gakuen Heaven...i merely named their school 'Heaven' gakuen means academy right so Shuichi's school is the Heaven Academy, i know that the school in the anime Gakuen heaven is Bell Liberty it has no relation to that...
