Author's notes: this idea just popped up in my head so I thought it's better if I write them I guess this chapter will be more like an introduction rather than what's actually gonna happened. Anyway, enjoy and please give me loads and loads of ideas for the next chapter.

Story summary: He's the sexiest, rich and charming bachelor that every girl has dreamt about. Apparently, Fujino Shizuru is the lucky one – being engaged to him and all. The truth is she only likes him no more than good friends and the most important person that would only make her happy is none other than his own beloved sister – Natsuki…


Passion

By: Sakura Fujino

Drops of heavenly water have been dripping all morning. The sky is in its gloomy state, and so is the girl who is now sitting quietly, sipping her warm green tea, by the veranda. News, internet, radio and other media you name it have confirmed it – she and him are engaged. It's not that bad, she thought, having to be his fiancée. Seeing that he is quite charming and rich, no girls would ever want to miss out if they have that chance in their life.

The weather hasn't making any good progress at all, but there she is, continued on sipping her tea as if it doesn't bother her. Not the weather, in fact, it's a matter of her heart.

She would certainly scream her lungs out and started arguing with her Father, but then another thought in her head said the opposite: you stupid woman! Why can't you see the obvious? You're engaged, became his fiancée, and moved into his house, so what's the big deal? At least you get to see her more…

Since the last spring break, she has no clue of what has gotten into her but she's perfectly certain that when she met her for the first time, blazing fire burned sensationally in her heart. The feelings are beyond words can describe – that is the feelings of love. She asked herself: what is love? How do you know that you're in love?

Dictionary defines love as profoundly tender and passionate affection and desire for another person. However, can this definition clearly define the state that she's feeling? Indeed, no textbook can describe the way she feels – it's all the matter of heart – the most complicated and twisting subject that even a genius cannot solve in an instant.

"Her blue raven haired swished in the air gracefully when she took that helmet off her. She always wore that tight bike suit of hers whenever she goes - showing what a fine model proportion she has. Rebellious but deep beneath, she's just a normal girl who can get hurt easily, the person who has been what I thought just my good friend's sister. The person whose name Kuga Natsuki, the person who I finally realised, I experience my first love with…"
