I walked around the cold pouring rain looking for some form of shelter from the horrible down pour. I sobbed quietly to myself, silently begging for some help, but no one payed attention to me. They walked passed me as if I didn't even exist, and when I was noticed, they just looked at me with utter disgust and spat insults at me. I couldn't blame them.

I was a disgusting mess. I was a homeless child, nothing but a waste of space. My parents abandoned me when I was 4. I've been living on the streets for 3 years now. I was just trying to get through another day. But that's when I stopped and thought to myself… Why? Why am I even trying? It's not like I'll be missed by anyone if I were to just disappear forever. So I let myself fall. Fall into oblivion. Fall into the nothing that I've become.

I was a lost child, with nothing to live for. I had absolutely no reason to live anymore. I was just so tired of fighting for my life, and for what? To just be looked down upon and beaten' just for begging for some food…? Just for trying to SURVIVE! No, not anymore… I'm DONE.

I walked around for a while and found a canal filling up with water raging about. I thought that this would be the perfect place to just end it. Water always soothed me in some way. I looked around to make sure no one was watching me when I fall. When I thought the coast was clear, I let myself drop. I knew how to swim just fine, but I had no intention on rising back to the surface. Instead, I swam deeper into the bottom, until my back connected on the bottom of the canal.

I slowly let my breath out and watched as the bubbles filled with my oxygen float to the top. As I let my breath out completely, my vision started fading. Little black dots started filling my vision, and just when my body started going completely numb, I felt somebody dive into the water, swim towards me, grab my wrist and swim towards the surface.

When we broke through the surface, he pulled me out of the water and layed me on the grass. That's when I noticed the rain had stopped and the sun was peaking through the clouds. I took a look at the person who saved me. He had beautiful blonde hair that seemed to glisten under the sun and the most gorgeous honey brown eyes that was filled with worry and tears. Why was he crying? Why did he save me? Can't he see that I'm not worth it?

All these questions filled my head, but the one that stuck out the most was;

Why are his eyes filled with such concern towards someone like me?

It only made sense, right? A person such as me should never get looks such as that; only looks of disgust and hate. I felt some pressure push on my stomache and something warm pressing against my lips. A few more times of that I coughed up a mouthful of water and my eyes snapped open. That's when I noticed that I was unconscious the entire time and the boy had just preformed CPR on me. I looked around frantically, a bit startled until my eyes layed upon the blonde boy who had just saved me life.

He then did something that shocked me entirely. He burst into tears and started hugging me. I was shocked by this action, for it was something that I have never experienced before. I felt tears spilling out of my eyes and my arms wrapped around his waist and I cried into his chest. We just sat there for a while in each others arms, until he pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

"What were you thinking?! You could've died!" He practically yelled in my face.

"W-why did you save me?" He looked at me as if I had just magically grown a beard and a wizard hat. "Are you crazy?! I couldn't just let you drown!" By then his body was shaking and he was sobbing loudly. For some reason seeing this boy like this broke my heart even more than it already was. I just couldn't stand seeing him like this. I pulled him into another hug which caught him off guard.

"If I promise to never do something like that again, will you please stop crying?" I whispered softly into his ear, which calmed him down a bit. He nodded slowly and hugged me back. I swayed back and forth, rubbing his back in a comforting motion, until he stopped sobbing completely. I pulled away and looked him in the eyes and smiled warmly at him.

"My name's Anju Higurashi, what's yours?" "Mitsukuni Haninozuka." He returned the smile. RING, RING. He dugged into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. "Hello?!.. Okay... I understand... I'm on my way… Bye…" He put his cell phone away and turned to me with a sad look on his face. "I'm sorry Anju, but I have to go…" He looked down, his bangs covering his eyes.

"It's okay Mitsukuni. I understand. But promise me one thing, okay?" I moved his bangs away from his eyes. He looked at me with those Honey brown eyes, and I swear my heart melted.

"Hmm?" I smiled once more before placing a kiss on his forehead and said in a soft voice, "If we happen to never see each other again, please don't forget about me, okay?" He nodded, his cheeks tinting with a bright pink blush. I stood up and offered him my hand. He gratefully took it and gave me one last hug before he ran off, yelling over his shoulder that he will never forget me and that this won't be the last time they meet.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I groaned in annoyance and flung the object that dared woke me up. I sluggishly rolled out my bed and looked at what I had thrown. It was my alarm clock. It was the 4th one this week. I sighed and walked over to my bathroom to take a quick shower. After I finished, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself before retreating back to my room. I opened my closet and fished out a long blue baggy shirt and plain black skinny jeans. I slipped them on and headed towards the door to put on a pair of black sandals. I grabbed my skateboard, and headed off to work!

I admit, my life has changed to living on the streets to living in a small normal house with a good job at a Café. Life is good. But lately I've been having that exact same dream everyday. It's not that I'm not fond of that memory, it's just that… I haven't seen him in so long, since he moved. Ever since then, I searched for him; Wondering the streets just to find him. I even went as far as asking some people, though they never answered me, they just spat insults at me or shoved me away. But I never gave up hope. I know he's still out there, and I won't rest until I've reunited with my old childhood friend! Hopefully soon, I'm already 17, and I ain't getting any younger.

I casually walked into the small Café and went into the dressing room to put on today's Cosplay. The Café that I work at does Cosplay, for reasons that are beyond me. I just go with it. It seems that today's outfit is a bunny costume. Oh, man. The outfit is a bit skimpy for my liking. It comes with a pair of pink short shorts, with a bunny tail on the back, a light pink tank top with the Café's logo on it, a pair of bunny ears and pink heels… How sad.

I sighed and reluctantly put them on while applying a bit of light pink eye shadow and clear lip gloss. Oh, how I hated make-up, but if I didn't put it on, I'll most likely get in trouble. Oh, whatever. I walked out of the changing room and started serving the customers. The day was going by as usual, nothing new. All I needed was to serve one more group of costumers, and I'm home free!

When I was serving there drinks, I heard one of the girls gush over some guy at school and saying she can't wait to see him tomorrow. Ah, your typical fangirls. Now, usually I'd just ignore these type of people, but something drew me to there conversation.

"Oh, I can't wait to see Honey-Sempai tomorrow! He's so KAWAII!"

"I know right! I wonder why they call him Honey. It's not that I don't like calling him that or anything, but…?"

"It's probably because his last name has 'Hani' in it. You know, because his last name is Haninozuka." I stiffened. Did she just say, Haninozuka!? Can it be him?!

"Um, excuse me Miss?" "Hm?" One of the girls turned to me. "Um. I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. Does this 'Haninozuka' kid's name happen to be Mitsukuni?" Oh, PLEASE let it be! "Oh, it is actually! How did you know?" I gasped, I can't believe it worked. I should do that more often. "I'm an old friend of his. Um, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what school does he exactly go to?" I felt my stomache turning in an uncomfortable position. "He goes to Ouran Academy Private High School." "Oh, I see. Thank you for your time. For that would you like a refill? It's on the house!" I grinned happily. "Sure!"

After they got there drinks and left, I cleaned up around the Café and left to go enroll myself in Ouran Academy Private High School! Obviously, it's one of those schools for the rich, but maybe I can get in with a Musical Scholarship? Oh, I hope so!

I talked to the Headmaster of the school, over the phone, seeing as it's a bit too late to go over there now, also I'm too lazy to get my ass off the couch and do so. After about a few minutes of discussing about me enrolling, he finally agreed to let me in with a Musical Scholarship! I thanked him and ended the call. He had told me that he'd make an exception for me, and that he'll fax me my schedule.

I sighed in content, and decided to take a nice warm bath, in my achievement in getting myself into such a prestigious school. I walked into the bathroom, turned on the water, stripped off my clothes and slipped into the calming water. I relaxed into the water and let myself drift into my thoughts.

I wonder what I'm going to do when I see him. Will he remember? Will they both remember me? I hope so. I'm not quite sure what I'd do without my Little Ichigo and my Little Teddy Bear; despite the fact he was taller than me, I still consider him my Little Teddy Bear.

Ha, I remember when I used to give Mitsukuni and Takashi piggy back rides, even though Takashi was against it, I still got him to go along with it. I always treated them like babies; singing them to sleep, pushing them on the swings, protecting them from anybody and anything. I was basically like a second mother to them, and they'd always go to me when they wanted some form of comfort when something happened that saddened them.

I always made sure that they were happy, and never shed a single tear. Sadly, it was a bit difficult. They were sometimes bullied in there schools, and even though they could both take on a buff guy twice their size, they never fought back. They only choose to ignore it and take the beatings. To which it obviously angered me. Ever since I was informed on them being bullied, I waited everyday after school for them. When I first saw them being harassed by a group of boys, I went straight up to them and told them to screw off or else. They just stared at me and laughed in my face, which only angered me more. So I beat them within an inch of thier life, or at least when Mitsukuni and Takashi told me to stop, to which I immediately obeyed to.

I promised them both that no matter what, I'ld protect them, and if necessary give up my life for them. Since that fateful day, I made them they teach me everything they knew. Mitsukuni taught me all forms of Martial Arts and Takashi taught me Kendo. They were a bit hesitant at first, but they went through with it.

I sighed happily at all the memories we had together, and slipped out of the bathtub, to dry myself off. After I was fully dried and dressed in a pair of shorts and a loose T-Shirt, I slipped into my bed in a peaceful sleep. With only one thought crossing my mind.

I can't wait to see my Little Ichigo and my Little Teddy Bear, all grown up now!
