Title: A Year With My Dear Princes

Summary: Ayame Wakahisa, a girl who suffered from Mental disorder(Bipolar) left Japan during her childhood days and move abroad for the sake of being treated into a therapy to be able to control herself from the disorder. She then came back to Japan with the news that her 2 most dearest childhood friends are going to study at a school called Saotome Academy.

The sweet smell of spring breeze knocked out the walls of my senses. I've never felt this nostalgic moment after a long time. I looked left and right to see such colorful plants blooming in this beautiful weather. Then I went to catch a glimpse of the early morning sun with each ray that gently awakens my deep seated emotions inside me. The tall buildings, the roads free of enveloping smug and the early risers taking a good morning walk along the sidewalks – these are such good sights to see upon my very first step in my homeland after quite a long time.

I carried my luggage with my right hand and held tightly on my wig with my other hand so that it may not be blown away by the wind. I've worn this short, choppy, layered blonde wig for quite sometime since the time that I adopted another appearance – particularly a boy. It's not that I dislike being a female; it's just that I'm not comfortable with skirts, dresses and any other girly outfits and together with that, I also dislike being treated so differently just because I'm a girl. So I thought about this before and told myself "Why not dress up as a boy? Surely no one would treat you so differently."

SCREEEEEEECH!

"Watch it you dumb bastard!" My daydreaming abruptly paused. I turned around to where those unpleasant words came from. And to my surprise, I found myself inches away from a vehicle. A hairy, dark skinned man with a disgusting, scarred face glared to me from behind the dark tinted glass of the vehicle. He seemed to be drunk. "What are you staring at for, dude? Move it!" I held the thin, metallic handle of my trolley. Tighter and tighter, I gripped it with such great force. Crack! The handle broke and some of its parts are now tiny and brittle. I wiped the brittle parts off my hands and gave a big sigh. "I deserve no such words, Mister. And if you'll excuse me, I'd be continuing my walk now." I returned the glare back to the man, making him froze in fright of the horrifying sight he probably hasn't seen yet before. Dragging the trolley with the broken handle, I walked away from the unpleasant place. I guess nothing has really changed in this place after all. I'm home, my beloved Land of the Rising Sun!

After a long walk, I saw a convenience store on the other side of the road. It looks quite convenient! So I walked across the road and went to get inside the store. I grabbed some snacks and ate all up until I'm no longer hungry. I grabbed my wallet and paid. As I took my new bills of Japanese Yen out of my tiny leather wallet, I caught a glimpse of such a memorable picture of three little kids, a girl and two young boys, giggling and hugging each other. They seemed to be enjoying the moment when the picture was taken that day. I took the picture out of my wallet and looked eagerly on the adorable faces. "We'll finally see each other after a long time, my dear princes." I smiled and pecked a kiss on it. "U-um…e-excuse me, S-sir?" Just then I realized, I wasn't alone and that I'm actually dressed up as a guy. Oh God, I probably looked like a freaking gay doing that. Damn it! I gave out an awkward chuckle, got my change and dashed out of the store. I turned from block to block until the store was finally out of sight. "Well, I guess that was close." I sat on an empty bench and took the picture out again. "It's been eight years since then. And I'm already 15 now. Would you still remember me?"

RING! RING! RING!

"Hel-"

"Mooooshi, Mooooshi? Is this Miss Wakahisaaaa Aaaaayame?"

"Y-ye-"

"It is I, Shiiining Saotomeee, the Headmasterrrr of Saotome Academyyyy!"

The man on the other line sure has a unique way in pronouncing words, elongating words with such exaggeration. He reminds me of that funny looking guy who's quite popular and has this academy somewhere in this place. What was his name again? Saoe? Sotae? Saotome! Right it was Shining Saotome – wait, if this guy's him, then he must be…

"Mr. Headmaster! Yes! It's me Wakahisa Ayame! What is it that you wanted to say?" I felt jolly and quite hyped up. This could be it! I can finally get to see them! Hallelujah!

"Miss Wakahisaaa, I have great news for yooouu! Since you've finallyyy arrived, I've theeennn called someone to pick you uuuuuup! Oh, aaannd I've read the letterrr your parents sent to meee to 'Allow you to wear the Male's uniform'. Weeeell, I'd let yoouu since the Wakahisaaaa Clan is suuuuchh impooortant people. But! With one condition, if sooomeone, aside from the teaaacherrss, will know you are a girllll, then you shall wear the girl's unifooorm compleeeetely with no wigs oooor any other mateeeriaals yooou use."

"EHH? B-bu-"

"No Buts! Oooor elseee you'll get expelled, Miss Wakahisaaaaaa. HOHOHOHOHO! Anywaaaay…don't leave your spoooot, for youuuu will be picked up in that areaaaaa where you aree."

"Eh? But no wigs? Why? Wh-"

BEEP. BEEP.

"Moshi Moshi? Hello? Mr. Headmaster? Ugh!" I buried my face in my hands, thinking of all the things that could happen to me as I get into that so called 'Saotome Academy'. "Wait, did he just say I'd get to be picked up here?" I murmured to myself. It's indeed a silly joke, like…how on Earth would he even know where I am?

And just like a miracle, a limousine parked right in front of me. Out came a beautiful lady with long, pink wavy hair that came straight to me. "Are you Miss Wakahisa?" the lady said. WAIT. She sounds just like a male! Could it be, he's a cross dresser like me? But some females do have deep voices too, you know. So what is he/she really? But this person's a stranger! I shall not be deceived!

"Miss Wakahisa? Are you alright?"

"Eh? Oh…yes, I'm alright. But who are you?"

"Well then I shall introduce myself. I'm Tsukimiya Ringo. Just call me Ringo-sensei!" The man/woman cooed. "Ringo-sensei, ey? Hmm, who sent you here? And why on Earth shall I believe in you?" I replied as I looked straight into his/her Azure eyes. Gosh, those eyes are so prett-No! I shouldn't be saying this! This person must be something evil or… something.

"Eto...Mr. Saotome sent me here. He said that I shall go and look for a boy who would probably look like a girl, or should I say a cross dresser in this location 'cause apparently he said that you'd probably be here."

"Ohh, okay. Alright. Sorry for the questions, I was just making sure."

He/She Sook his/her head, "Noo~ It's okay! So, shall we go?"

I stood up in delight. "Well, okay!" So I followed Ringo-sensei into the vehicle and it drove down to the highway of my future – which I hoped to be filled with happiness, luck and success.

"So tell me, Miss Wakahisa," The pink-haired sensei tapped my shoulder and gave me a drink. I can't really decline such kind offers, so I accepted it even though I'm already full. "What was your reason? You know, in deciding to go to Saotome Academy. Did you want to be a great composer or an idol star?" I was taking small sips of the drink until I suddenly stayed still and looked outside the tinted window that is showing the endless streets of Japan…thinking, just thinking on what to reply to that uncomfortable question. "W-well," I placed the half-empty glass down as I tried avoiding an eye-to-eye contact with sensei. "Actually…I had some other personal reasons." I just can't tell this person my real reason! Like, who would even believe that I'd just go to some strange school to see some people? They'd just think I'm a complete stalker, or a psycho!

Suddenly I felt something nearing me. It just so weird and uncomfortable! Curious as I have always been, I took a peek and looked up.

"Gah! Sensei!" Pink-haired sensei was so near! I gulped and tried moving away but a strong arm pulled me closer. He is no woman! T-this person's so strong! A man! That's what he is! But what's with the face? It's so feminine li-

"Aww, you're so cute when you're nearer! Can I call you Ayame-chan?' My thoughts were interrupted as Ringo-sensei cooed as he examined my face. "Uh, s-sure, sensei." I pushed away and moved much farther away from him.

"I really do want to know more about you, Ayame-chan. So if you ever face problems in the school, just come see me okay?" He gave a warm smile and patted my head. It's been quite so long since I've had someone pat my head. I smiled back to him, making his Azure eyes sparkle. "You are sooo cute~!" I just gave a small giggle as he continued pleasing me with those 'cutesy' words.

Then after, the ride didn't seem to be pretty boring anymore. With a nice teacher like him, this school might not be that bad at all!

Minutes passed and finally the vehicle completely halted. I looked outside the tinted glass to see such a picturesque view – a huge building painted with soothing colors that is surrounded by fresh greenery. I stepped out of the vehicle and started twirling around - wearing my brightest smile as to show how I truly am in love with the place.

"Ayame-chan, you really are…" Ringo-sensei sighed as he looked up to me from the inside of the vehicle. He, too, stepped out of the limo – not to accompany me in appreciating the surroundings but instead to take me away from the dreamy place and lead me inside the huge entrance of the school building. Wow, thanks so much for ruining the moment for me. I sighed as I took one last look at the greenery from afar and turned around to see Ringo-sensei directing someone to carry my luggage – which currently has a broken handle and some scratched areas due to running far away from that so-called 'convenience store'. The man whom sensei was speaking to seemed to be a student. He's also quite tall and has a fire red color for his hair. And just by judging his outfit, I'm sure he just woke up. Such a cheerful man… I thought to myself as I examined how he conversed with Ringo-sensei and finally left with my bag. My Bag! Oh no! My things, m-my…Damn it! I ran after him when suddenly Ringo-sensei grabbed my arm and gave me the 'It's alright' look.

"Are you sure he wouldn't find out?"

"He wouldn't. I told him that you'd be the one to unpack your things. He's just going to put your luggage in your room." He gave me a warm smile and took out a tiny object from his pocket. "And, this is your room key!" He took my hand and placed the shiny key painted with gold on it.

"Wow, it looks nice!" I looked closely at the key – examining the texture, color and tiny designs it has.

"Yes, it's really nice. But you shouldn't lose that! There'd only be two keys: One for the school and one for you. Otoya-kun got the other one but he'll return it to me afterwards."

"Otoya-kun?" I raised a brow and looked curiously into his eyes. "Who is he?"

"Oh, that was the student who brought your luggage to your room awhile ago!" He raised a finger and grinned. "Anyway, I'd better get going! I still have some things to finish before classes start tomorrow. You know…teacher stuffs." Ringo-sensei raised his eyebrows and walked away. "You're on your own now, Ayame-chan~!"

"Eh? B-but I d-"

"It's good to learn things by yourself, you know! And it's Sunday today – you don't need to be in a hurry, just take your time! Just don't forget, you belong in A class!" He waved his hands in the air. "Oh, and classes starts at 8 o'clock~!" and without saying anything else, he disappeared into the darkness.

Oh crap. This is not right. Sensei didn't even tell me where my room is! And the Classroom! Where the heck would it be in this huge school? And plus, who would even be wide awake this early in a Sunday morning? I'm screwed! I'm screwed! I held tightly on my key and walked in circles thinking on what to do.

(refer to the song Nanairo No Compass by Tokiya Ichinose for this part.)

/Ah… Kimi dake ni todoke

Kono kaze no oto yo Feeling heart…

Mou nakanakute ii yo sono mama de ii

Sora wo mite Ah… My sweetest love!

"T-that song," I paused and walked through the wide hallways, trying to find where that beautiful, heartwarming song came from.

Blue… aoku kagayaku hoho wo tsutau sono shizuku

Rise… shitte ita kai? Asu e no hikari dato

It's closer… I stepped out of the huge building and found myself in a place I can truly call a wonderland. The wooden benches sitting at the sides of the pathway, the flowers that danced with the cool breeze and the beautiful lake that lies before my eyes… What a sight this is.

Truth… kimi wa tabun ne jibun wo mada yoku shiranai

Sono namida wa kitto kimi wo michibiku niji ni naru/

I heard the sweet song once again – but this time it's felt like it's just beside me. I turned to my right but there was nothing except the colorful flower beds that were properly arranged. So I turned to my left and there my eyes widened. In front of me is a dazzling creature I've never encountered in my entire life. His midnight blue hair, moving together with the cool morning breeze made this sight more breath taking a-

"What are you looking at?" Abruptly, I awakened from my daydream. I blinked my eyes and saw the dazzling creature glaring at me with those sharp blue eyes. "Why are you here?"

I felt my face getting redder and hotter. Oh God, this is so embarrassing! "Umm, sorry. I was just-"

"Forget it. There's no point in talking to someone like you." He turned around and walked away.

He said what? Okay that's it. I can't take this any longer. "Oi. You," I clenched my teeth – trying to control myself. No, I shouldn't be doing this. Stay calm, Ayame. Stay Calm. After all, maybe this guy can help you find your way in this school.

"What?" He stopped and looked at me from behind. I can feel such dark aura around him. I even called this bastard a dazzling creature. Seriously…"W-well, it's just that I'm lost and I don't know where the dorms are. So…if it's okay, would you mind helping me get there?"

I heard him mumbling words to himself until finally, he replied. "Fine, just don't walk slowly or else I'll leave you alone."

"O-okay."

I followed him from the back to a pathway designed with colorful stained glasses on the walls. "What a guy. Seriously, if only I didn't try calming myself earlier, I would've probably punched him right on his beautiful face."

"What did you say?" His voice – his cold hearted voice – seemed to notice my murmuring at the back.

"Oh nothing, I was just remembering stuffs I need to do when I get to my room." I rolled my eyes and looked at the scenery outside the stained glasses of the hallway. I remembered those happy times I've spent with those two. My memories are quite foggy but I can never forget that time - that one last time - I've embraced those two kiddos in my own arms.

THUG!

"Ow. Wat – "

"We're here."

I looked up and saw doors - a lot of doors. All were painted with gold numbers and were lined up at both sides of the pathway. How huge could these rooms be?

"What's your room number?"

"Oh, wait. Let me check." I opened my palm and got the golden key Ringo-sensei gave me. It still amazes me how beautifully decorated the keys is. "It says 273."

"273…273…" We looked from door to door until we finally reached door number 273. As I inserted the key into the key hole, I looked at Mr. Arrogant – which is currently focusing his eyes to the door. Isn't he supposed to go and leave me now? I sighed and turn the knob. Slowly, I pushed the door open and took a peek inside.

Oh dear! The room is so beautiful! The carpet, the bed, the desk! Oh this is clearly what I call a lady's heaven! But what are those boxes on the bed? They're not mine!

"You don't have a dorm-mate?"

"GAH!" I looked up to see Mr. Arrogant's head popped out of nowhere, examining every single thing in my room. "What the hell are you doing here? YOU PERVERT!" I elbowed him hard in his stomach, making him groan in pain. I quickly closed the door and turned around to see him already kneeling down – rubbing his tummy while cursing such colorful words.

"What the heck was that for?" He cried as he tried getting up. "Stupid! How did I become a pervert? Are you gay or something?"

Oh God. I really am stupid. When will I ever remember that I'm actually wearing a guy's clothes! I'm so screwed.

"Look, I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way." I tried helping him up but he just shoved me away and stood all by himself.

"Forget it." He grunted as he walked away. "I just hope you don't get lost and make any other person have bigger problems because of you!"

"I'm really sorry!" I sighed as I looked at him slowly disappearing before me. I'm really sorry. I hope I'd get to see you around this school once again. And there, I'd finally thank you properly for you effort in helping me get here, Mr. Arrogant.

I stepped inside my room and quietly pushed the door close. I walked towards the boxes on the bed and took a peek on each box. One had my school uniforms: One for the males and one for the females. I picked up the female's uniform and examined it carefully. "Short skirts for females? Please. I'll never wear anything like this! N-E-V-E-R!" I placed down the female uniform and took out the male uniform. "Now this, I am going to love wearing this!" I nodded joyfully as I agreed to my own self. As I took out the things from the other boxes, I found a neatly sealed envelope. I ripped it open and revealed what's inside – a letter.

Our dearest Ayame,

I suppose you've already arrived Japan as you read this. We didn't want you to feel lonely and bored during the whole school year, so we sent your valuable things to your school dorm as well! Mr. Pinky, your sandals, shirts, skirts and dresses – we all packed it up for you! I hope you'll enjoy your stay in there, Dear. Stay safe, okay? And remember…you can just call us whenever you need something!

We Love You!

Sincerely yours,

Your Ever Loving Mom

"Oh Mom, you really didn't have to bring almost everything from my room!" I gave a chuckle as I took the letter and hugged it closer to my heart. "I sure do hope you and Papa will stay safe, too." I looked at the letter once again and neatly folded it back to the envelope.

"Well, I better start unpacking all of these now before I'll finally have a good sleep!"


"Oy! Tokiya! Where have you been?" I pushed the door close with my free hand as my other hand gently rubbed my aching tummy. I walked towards my part of the room and sat carefully on my bed.

"What happened to you? Hey, I-CHI-NO-SE, TO-KI-YA~! What happened to you? What happened to yoooou~?"

Otoya Ittoki. Seriously, when will this guy ever shut up? I sighed and fixed my eyes on the little brat at the other side of the room. "Nothing happened, okay? I'm going back to sleep." I lay myself on the bed, grabbed the bed sheet and wrapped my whole body with it.

"But Tokiya~" The little brat cooed. "I want to know where you went – and Oh! Did you see the new student? He's quite cute and looks a lot like a girl! Did you see him already?"

"Oh that small dude? I wouldn't even bother going near to that annoying brat again!"

"Woah! So you've already seen him? That's cool! When? When? Wheeeen~?"

I rolled my eyes under the warm bed sheets and slowly closed my eyes from this unpleasant reality.


So how is it? This is actually my very first fanfic! So I'd be really glad if someone would review it! Thank you~ ;)
