Chapter 1

Welcome to St. Lulim's Girls' School

"JUST SHUT UP WOMAN! HOW CAN YOU EVEN CAN NOT GIVE ME A SON! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" a man with blonde haired shouted angrily.

"I'm so sorry dear..." Apologised the woman looking to be in her mid thirties with raven hair. Her tears stream down endlessly. She kneeled in front of her husband to ask forgiveness.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT SHIT ANYMORE! I WANT A DIVORCE!" He snapped.

"Please dear, don't do this to me..." the woman pleaded,her arms wrappedaround her husband right leg.

"NO, IT IS FINAL! I will provide you with monthly allowance for you and her. However, I want you to sign this paper. NOW!" He tossed a paper to floor and extended his hand to give his wife a pen.

Natsuki POV

"Noooo!" I was screaming out loud as I recall, the nightmare still lingering in my head. Even that dream is always repeating in my sleep.

"Calm down Kuga-san." A girl dressed checkered skirt with a white shirt covered by a cream coloured vest. Closing her book, an honest smile grew along her lips as she caught the attention of the other girl.

I turned my head to the left. A beautiful figure with long, straight obsidian coloured hair with two red ribbons tied each side of her silky hair. She has golden eyes that were shining from the reflection of the sun through the window. Her composure and elegance gave off a rather etiquette personality from her. Who is she? She looks as though she does tea ceremony or flower arrangement, wait, what has that got to do with this?... Does she miss me? Yeah of course not, I know it. Wait! Did she just call my name?"

"Mmm... How did you know my name?"

"Forgive about my impoliteness Kuga-san, I'm Minamoto Chikaru. St. Lulim Girls' School Kaichou. I got your transfer paper a few days ago, I'm here to accompany you and explain about everything that you want to ask about this school."

"Where am I?" My eyes wondered around at my surroundings. This place has three single beds, one desk located before me, to my left side is a window that has a beautiful view of a garden with variant flowers.

"You are in the infirmary Kuga-san. Some students found you collapsed by the school entrance this morning. What happened to you? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Normal POV

-Flashback 3 days ago-

At a small restaurant a group of girls always hanging out together.

"Horray! Our high school is really splendid! So many cute girls! It feels like just yesterday we became freshman, and now we become their admired sophomores," The Red haired exclaimed happily. "However still, Midori nee-chan being a teacher? This world must be on the tip of catasthrope."

"Mou, Nao-chan you shouldn't mocking your own sister." argued the orange hair girl, throwing a menacing look at her..

"Yeah, yeah..." rolling her lime green eyes, she waved her right hand frantically ignoring the pouting remark coming from her friend. "Anyway, where is your beloved Mikoto?" She asked with wicked smile.

"She had a promise to go to dinner with her family because her sister has come up for a visit" The busty girl named Mai retorted.

"Hey Nat-kun, why are you so gloomy?" The short haired girl asked.

"Mmm... Guys, I feel like I don't want to continue studying at Fuuka anymore." Three other girls beside her shocked.

The charcoal girl regain back her composure, she asked. "What do you mean Nat-kun?"

"I don't want to goto Fuuka anymore."

"Why?" Mai could feel her eyes watering up with tearsas she repeatedly blinked her violet eyes.

"You all know I have been trying to act normal around 'her' since the start of high school. However, my heart aches everytime I see 'her'. Her happiness is my priority, I don't want to cause her sadness. Guys, I'm sorry to be such a coward, but please let me be free from this torture. It is really killin' me." Tears streamed freely from the emerald eyes as she couldn't hold back her sobs.

"Where do you want to go Nat?" The fiery haired girl asked.

"Astraea Hill. I found it two weeks ago on a protected website. It was really hard to hacked their system. When It went through, I saw their main domain. I became attached to St. Lulim Girls' School, so I sent them an email to enroll at their school. The next few days after that, they wanted me to take the entrance exams, so I went to arrange a place for test. Somehow, I got accepted, I passed academic and physical test. They even gave me a scholarship to study and live at the dormitory." She explained.

"Astraea Hill? St. Lulim Girls' School? Where is that?"

"Mai, let me explain it. Astraea Hill is a prestigious school in which students who enroll to that school more or less from wealthy families and are good in academic. Astraea Hill divides into three girls schools, Miator, Spica, and Lulim. They are well known as an oldtraditional school, you know with many history things" Natsuki explained, still finding questions from her friends.

"Anyway, why did you choose that school Nat-kun?"

"I learned Astraea Hill is an isolated school, which people without authorization, are forbidden to go inside. From their guides, one of their rules is prohibition to use a cellphone. With that, it will prevent her from contacting me to take me back or follow me…"

"What mutt, no cellphone! How we can contact you then?!" the red head barked.

"You can call me on the night to my new number, I will give it to you later. Rules are made to be violated, right?" She winked mischievely at her friend.

"Way to go mutt! That's my cousin! However I'm still angry you know, how can you didn't let me know sooner?!"

"Sorry spider, you know me right? I prefer do it first."

"Nat, about Kaichou, what do you want me to say to her?"

"Oh my gosh, just forget about that bitch!" Mai smack Nao's head with her palm. "OUCH! What the fuck Mai!"

"You shouldn't say that! It's rude!"

Nao crossed her arms and slumped her back to the chair. She mumbled several curses under her breath.

"Nat-kun, I hope you won't leave her without an explanation."

"I will let her know tomorrow at the student council room. She will be there to handle preparation for the school festival. Then, in the night I will head to the Astraea Hill."

"You know what Nat, we are always on your side. So, if anything happens, come back to us okay?" Mai stand up from her chair, walked to her friend, and gave her bear hug.

"Yeah mutt! Don't ever forget your beautiful cousin." The lime eyes girl blew her kiss.

"Nat-kun, remember to call us if you have time. We will miss you." Chie winked.

The violet eyes pulled back from hug, and walked back to her respective chair. "More important, you must take care your health Nat."

"Haiii. Arigatou everyone. Now, eat as much as you want, it's my treat." Natsuki smiled warmly.

"Yeah!" The three other girls cheered in unison.

The next day, the raven haired girl woke up from her slumber. She stretched up her limps, then she looked at her clock. She was shocked when the clock was displaying '1 PM', meaning she was late for her appointment. She jumped off from her bed, proceed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and wore the clothes which she prepared last night. The raven haired girl was dressed in a white T-shirt, black tight jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.

Her room remained the same except there was more space in the cabinet, which half of her clotheswere packed in big box, and sent to the new school. The other things which she won't need for her school, were left at her apartment including her collection of lingeries which remain tidy on her special cabinet. She packed the rest of her things in a duffel bag beforehurrying to the living room grabbing the key to her Ducati as she walked to her bike out front of the building. The raven haired girl opened her bike compartment and took out the silver helmet, which matched her bike color, silver dark blue Ducati 1198. Natsuki wore her black leather jacket, put on her helmet and mounted her bike. Inserting the key in, Natsuki heard in delight as her baby came to life with a roaring sound. Kicking the stand, Natsuki twisted handle as she drove to Fuuka High School.

After at least 15 minutes ride, she arrived at Fuuka High. She turned off her bike engine, dismounted her bike, and took off her helmet. She glance her watch, and run to her destination. 'Shit, I'm late by two hours. Yesterday's party really made me sleep like pig.'

She arrived in front of the student council room. Natsuki opened the door, and shocked with the scene before her. Her object of affection kissing passionately with her boyfriend. The raven haired girl tried her best to hold back her tears, and forced to calm. Her heart was broken to pieces, a feeling of numbness grew over her body as she wanted to run far away from the pain.

The brown haired girl heard door opened, and pulled back from kiss. "Ara, you reallylike to always show up out of nowhere, Natsuki." She nodded to signal her boyfriend to leave them alone.

"My, my, I might go check on the Kendo club for a while princess. Then, if you'll excuse me." He pecked his girlfriend's cheek, and walked toward the raven haired girl. "Good afternoon Kuga-san, nice to meet you." He gave his toothy smile.

"Nice to meet you Kanzaki."

"Then, if you will please excuse me."

After her boyfriend left the two of them. She walked to Natsuki. "Ara, Natsuki ikezu! How can you two hours late?"

"Sorry Shizuru, I overslept this morning." She looked the older girl with blank look. 'I really want to run away right now.'

"What did you do yesterday?" She asked.

"I hung out with my friends. Anyway, it doesn't matter now Shizuru. I just want to say that I will be transfering to another school tomorrow. Today will be our last meeting Shizuru."

Shizuru confused with the younger one statement. "Wh- What do you mean Natsuki?! I never received your transfer form before."

"I need it fast so I personally asked Mashiro-sama to sign without student council concern."

"Natsuki, you are joking right?"

"No."

"Why?" The brunette couldn't hold her tears, she put her hands to the smaller girl shoulder. She whispered. "Why Natsuki?"

"Sorry Shizuru. Its for the best." She looked up her object of affection for the last time, and gave her a sad smile. "Sorry... Sayonara..." She pulled off from her friend's hands and run off left the brunette haired girl.

She rode her bike at full speed. The raven haired girl cried along the way till arrivingat her destination, her emerald eyes came upon the cliff side. This cliff was her mother's death place. Her mother diedin a car accident one evening when she was driving home from her work. She was a head scientist of Fuuka Research Facilities. Natsuki was 8 years old when she died. After her mother's death, she was sent to live with her cousin Nao's family where she grew up for the last few years.

Dismounting off her bike, Natsuki placed her duffel bag on her seat bike seat.She unzipped her bag, and pulled out a pocket knife and flower she bought earlier. The raven haired girl walked to the end of cliff, she threw the bouquet of flowers. Grabbing hold of her long hair, she took the knife in her other hand as she drew it back and forth along her hair. She hold her long hair. "Ne mother... Why is everyone that I love, always leave me? Father who threw us out. You who left me alone in this world. Then she who I loved so much…" easing the grip of her hand, she felt the strands of her hair being stolen away by the wind. Watching as the last of her hair disappeared from sight, she fell to her knees as she sat among the dirt, not feeling hungry even though she didn't eat food from morning.

She just sat there to calm her pain, until she fell sleep. When she woke up checking the time on her phone as it displayed ten at night.Standing up, she brushed the dirt off from her jeans as she placed back her knife in the duffel bag before resting her bag in her compartment. The raven haired girl put on her helmet, mounted her bike as she revved the engine before dashing off to her destination which lead her to her new life.

-End of Flashback-

Natsuki POV

"Maybe I was just too tired not to mention I didn't have time to eat yesterday and drove to this school which took awhile to get here"

"I'm glad to hear that. Anyway Kuga-san, your bike will be placed on Astraea garage. So you don't have to worry about that." She said.

The noir haired girl pull out handkerchief from her skirt pocket. She stand up from her chair and approaching me, instintively snapped me from my reverie. Her face come closer to mine 'Oh my God, what does she doing? She's invading my personal space!' I close my eyes to wait and see what this girl was doing. Then, I feel soft fabric touch my forehead. I open my eyes and find her face just few inches than mine.

"Wh-Wha—?"

"Kuga-san, I assume you were having a nightmare just now. You've got a lot of sweat above ur forehead from that" She stopped wiping my forehead as she then pulled back and cupped my chin with her soft hand. She stares straight to my eyes, her golden eyes so sparkling. "You have beautiful eyes, Kuga-san."

"Wh-Wha—, Th-Thank you." I stammered. 'Oh my God, I felt my blood rushed to my face right now.'

She smiled at me, and pull back her hand. Golden eyes retrieved from my emerald eyes, and stand straight. "One more time Kuga Natsuki-san. I, Minamoto Chikaru welcome you to St. Lulim's Girls' School." She bowed.

"Natsuki."

"Hai?"

"Just Natsuki, I don't like formalities." I retorded.

She cover her giggled with her hand. "You are a funny one Natsuki. Just call me Chikaru then. Anyway, can you stand up? How do you feel right now?"

"I'm much better, thanks for asking."

"You're welcome Natsuki. I think we should go back to Ichigo-sha for now. I will lead you to your room." She extended her hand.

"Okay. Ichigo-sha? What is that?" I asked as I accepted her extended hand.

She pulled me to make me stand up from single bed. "It is name for dormitory in Astraea Hills. Students from Miator, Spica, and Lulim live there as long they study here. The dormitory divides to three sections which each section contain students from respective school. For example, Lulim students place at the center section, Miator at the east Section, and Spica at the west one. Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Why did you choose Lulim? I read your files before. Your middle school grades were very good in academic and sport. Until recently, your grades dropped significantly, you rarely attended your classes, and barely passed the high school exams. However, when I saw your entrance exams result, you did it with outstanding score. So why did you choose Lulim? When you can easily went to Miator or Spica." She looked directly to emerald eyes before her as she finished.

'I think I had seen that golden eyes somewhere..." I shrugged. "Well, I was kinda interested with this school motto 'Freedom and Carefree Style."

She chuckled a little. "You are indeed an interesting person Natsuki. I like you."

"W-Wha—" I stuttered. 'What the hell! I'm stuttered?! She meant she likes as a friend you idiot!' I can feel a light blush come to my cheek. 'The only person who can make me like this was just her... I miss you Shizuru.'

"Anyway Natsuki, we must going back now. Ichigo-sha's curfew is at six o'clock, so you better obey it Natsuki if you don't want to meet sister." She winked.

'What a pathetic rule!' I growled. "Damn rule!" The beautiful girl before me giggled, with a lady like manner.

"Come on Natsuki." She held my palm, and dragged me with her.

We walked through so many places, there were various courts, indoor and outdoor. Many students have left the school grounds while some of them were still doing club activities. There was a greenhouse too as I was amazed by the size of it, we travelled through a big garden (or rather a forest). This school was really HUGE compared to Fuuka. 'Fuuka... Why did you do this to me Shizuru?' I followed her step with my head hung low, find the ground more interesting than my thoughts.

"Natsuki... Here we are!" She exclaimed happily.

I turned my head to the huge building before me. We walked inside together. A tall fence encircled around the outside grounds of the building as a water fountain sat there at the centre of the courtyard. Each side dormitory have a beautiful garden with variant flowers. The building structure and details looked so old fashioned but still picturesque to me, the entrance door was made of mahogany with a silver knob that looked to inviting to touch. 'As expected from a prestigious school. Thank Heavens that I got scholarship because of my entrance results.'

"I will explained this dormitory according to grade. You see, the building is divided into three floors. Students from first till third grade are placed on third floor. Second floor reserved for fourth, fifth, and sixth grade. Lounge, cafetaria, dining hall, library, Kaichous room, and Etoile's room are placed on first floor." She explained as her hand gestured the direction for blunette.

"Etoile?"

"Etoiles are students who are selected to represent the three schools. Somewhat like a boss for Kaichous. They handle school meetings, admissioning for new students, taking care of the clubs budgets, looking after the greenhouse and many more. The students vote at the election, to choose their beloved and respected candidate to run for Etoile."

"Wow, sounds troublesome." I muttered, the idea of all that work needed really sounded too boring for me.

"Come, I will take you to your room." She gestured me to follow her. "Since our middle and high school combined together, that means you are a fifth grader. Your room will be on the second floor."

"And you? What grade are you?"

"I'm at sixth grade. But since I'm Kaichou, my room is on the first floor."

"Lucky you." I huffed.

Golden eyes girl giggled at my childish demeanor. She held my hand and take me to my room. Finally we arrive in front of my room door. She opened the door revealed nice room with two single beds, two desks, two chairs, and two closets. All of that divided to each side, with one bathroom on the center. 'Quite standard, but still nice...' Something clicked to my mind. "Wait! Why there are two beds?"

We walked inside. "Well, in this dorm, students sleep together with their roommate, except for Kaichous and Etoiles." She explained.

"Can't I just sleep alone?"

She shook her head. "No, you can't Natsuki. Unfortunately, even now, you do not have a roommate, I'm assigned to be your company for a while." I crossed my arms over my chest and grumbled. 'Why must there be company just to sleep. Geez stupid rule!' She rested her index finger under her chin as she looked to be lost in thought for a while. "Natsuki, I guess you must take a bath now, because dinner will be ready in 30 minutes. You can find your luggage on the right side of the closet, they arrived yesterday. Meanwhile, I will go to my room to gather several things to move in with you." She winked as she walked out the door.

"H-hai..." I blushed 'Oh my gosh, why do Kaichous have a power to make people blush so easily?' She didn't know exactly why, only that she is just someone who easily blushes when getting teased.

Omake :

Shizuru : Ara, Leon-san...

Me : *Look up from my accounting book* Yes?

Shizuru : Why did you separate me from MY Natsuki?

Me : *Put down the book* *cough* well at least in this story Natsuki is the one who has the one sided love...

Shizuru : Ara, it is true Leon-san, but why must you go pair MY Natsuki with the other woman? *glare*

Me : *gulp* This is just for the start Shizuru-san, please wait just a little longer... Please... *pleaded with best puppy eyes ever*

Shizuru : Ara, I will wait a LITTLE longer if you say so Leon-san... *devilish smile*

Me : Haaaiiii! *two finger salute*

(A.N. : I have another idea, but I will stick with this first ... Until next chapter, please review :D)
