Rain and Ashes

Chapter 1: Katsumi

This is my first chapter of Rain and Ashes, a fan fiction based on Shugo Chara, a really great anime! This has unique characters, and old ones. And I will use a few Japanese lines here and there, but mostly in English. Please review!

Characters:

Hikono Katsumi-15

Tsukiyomi Ikuto-15

Hinamori Amu- 12

Fujisaki Nadeshiko-12

Tadese Hotori- 12

Soma Kukai- 13

Yuiki Yaya- 11

Katsumi looked up at the sky and sighed. It was starting to rain. Surprising, as it was winter. Winter was Katsumi's favorite season. "It's beautiful, isn't it, Mizuki?" She said. "It is." To most, it would have seemed like Katsumi was talking to air, but in fact it was her Chara, named Mizuki. Like all Charas, Mizuki had chibi features. But unlike most, she had white wolf ears and a white tail. Her hair was also white, as was Katsumi's. Katsumi's hair was whiter than snow. She wore a black button-up shirt and gloves of about the same shade. She wore a knee-length plaid skirt as well, as that was her school uniform.

"Hey! Hikono-san!"

Katsumi heard a voice from behind her and groaned. Fifth year student Hinamori Amu ran to Katsumi.

"I got a new recruit!" She yelled.

"Fujisaki Nadeshiko's agreed to help!"

"HINAMORI!!! I TOLD YOU!!! NO MORE OF THIS NONSENSE!" Amu's Charas, Ran, Miki, and Su, ducked in cover. Mizuki just chuckled to herself.

"What?! We need to find you a match! Everyone needs someone else to rely upon, and Nadeshiko and I have decided to take it upon ourselves to-"

"I already told you! I DO NOT NEED A BOYFRIEND!!!"

"Yes you do!"

"Look who's talking! You don't have one, yourself! Gosh, I regret meeting you in the first place."

.:Flashback:.

Katsumi sees a small girl with pink hair sitting on a bench, crying.

"Hey, what's all the fuss about?" Asked Katsumi, in an unusually rough manner. Her stupid drunk father had just kicked her out of the house.

"I-I have to t-transfer to a new school next year!"

"You have to…Huh? Why are you crying 'bout that? That's not such a big deal!"

"But…What if everyone hates me?"

"They won't, umm…"

"A-Amu. Hinamori Amu."

"Hinamori-chan. They won't hate you. Say, which school are ya transferring to, anyway?"

"Seiyo Elementary. I'll be in fifth grade!"

"Seiyo? My high school is right across the way from there!"

"Really? That's great, uh, what's your name?"

"Hikono Katsumi."

"Hikono-san! That's pretty!"

Katsumi smiled a bit, and then turned away.

"See you soon, Hinamori-chan."

.:End Flashback:.

"See you tomorrow, Hikono-san! And hopefully I'll have got you a boyfriend by then!"

Katsumi started walking towards the tree she like to sit by, and shook her head as an unwilling smile danced on her lips.
