Title: Ohayo!

Chapter 1: Meeting

"Alright students, all stand up!" Miyuki-sensei says sternly as she arranges her books. All of the students rush out of the class as if they haven't eaten for about hundred of years.

* * *

"Miyuki-sensei (tacher) is so grumpy! I think a lot more wrinkles will appear on her face," Chiharu giggles.

"Sou ka (That's true)! If she behaves like Asako-sensei(teacher), she'll maybe will looks like her age. I mean, she's only 27 and she looks like 31 years old woman." Naoko adds dully as she sips her drinks. They are sitting under a shady Sakura tree, having their food.

"Demo(but) .I like her way of teaching though. She could gives us a very clear information of the Algebraic formulas," Tomoyo bites her sushi. Sakura pats Tomoyo's shoulder and winks.

"That's our Tomoyo! She always looks at the good quality of someone instead of their bad quality, ne (right)?" The whole group laughs and agree with Sakura as Tomoyo blushes beat red.

All of sudden, a boy jumps down of the Sakura tree. He is a tall, dark blue hair and bespectacled good-looking guy. His midnight blue eyes glares fiercely at them as he says, "You're so noisy."

He walks away and spills Tomoyo's water.

"Oi, baka (Oi, idiot)! You didn't even utter the word 'gomen nasai(sorry)'!" Chiharu shouts at him. Tomoyo holds Chiharu's arm and shakes her head.

Naoko adjusts her glasses as she explains, "I know him. He's the student from class 8-1A and he's the star basketball player in our school." Chiharu raises her eyebrow.

"Oh? I thought that he is out school's most brainless guy of the year." They watch the figure of the blue-haired boy that has gone further and further away.

* * *

Tomoyo enters class 8-1B. She sees the others are chatting happily by the corner of the class. She puts her bag on her seat and joins them.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, minna-san (Good morning everyone)!" Tomoyo greets. They replies back cheerfully at her.

"We're talking about the guy that we met yesterday," Sakura smiles warmly.

"So, what's on with him?" Tomoyo sits on a table nearby Sakura. Chiharu explains that his family name is Hiiragizawa. Even though he is a smart boy but he often plays truant, beats up the air out of the guy that annoys him and didn't respect any teacher.

"Yamazaki-kun told me," Chiharu says after being asked by Tomoyo. The clock strikes to 8 as their Japanese language teacher enters the class. The students quickly scrambles to their seat as their teacher asks them to open their book.

* * *

"Ano (Umm).I wonder what they're trying to do actually. They ask me to go alone to our station first and they will follow suit after they buy foods from canteen. Demo(but).they usually bring food from home, ne(right)?" Tomoyo's forehead wrinkles as she walks absentmindedly towards the Sakura tree.

She reaches under the tree. By instinct, she glances up on the tree and saw Hiiragizawa is sitting there. Sapphire and amethyst eyes meet.

"Oh, anata.Ohayo gozaimasu (Oh you, good morning)! What's your full name? They only tell me your family name. Hiiragizawa-kun, ne(right)?" Tomoyo stares at him. She didn't know why but she feels that her face turns hot and her heart beats faster than it normally is.

Hiiragizawa sighs, climbs down of the tree and stares coldly at her. "You really love to ruins other peace or what? After all, omae wa kenkei na, ne It's none of your business, right)? One more, don't add 'kun' behind my name. It sounds so annoying," he walks towards another tree further than the Sakura tree.

* * *

Tomoyo flung herself onto her bed. She puts her hand on her forehead and whispers, "He's so cold."

Suddenly, she hears her mother calls for her from the kitchen downstairs. Tomoyo rushes down from the stairs and run towards the kitchen.

"Nani, *gasps * Okaa-san, *gasps *? (What, mother)" Tomoyo says breathlessly. Sonomi chuckles.

"What are you rushing about? Anyway, could you please buy me some condensed milk? I want to bake a cake."
Tomoyo laughs and forms an o.k with her fingers. She grabs her umbrella and walks towards the supermarket nearby their housing area.

* * *

"How much do I have to pay?" Tomoyo glances at the screen and takes out her money. She walks out of the market with plastic on her hand. Alas, the rain falls down.

"Like what I guess." Tomoyo sighs. "Demo, nandemonai (But it's okay)! I love rains!" she smiles and opens her umbrella. She walks fast but carefully so that she wouldn't walk into pools and so on. All of sudden, a boy at her age rushes towards a cat and takes it to a dry place. Tomoyo approaches him.

"You're so thoughtful. Here, a handkerchief for you. You're all wet," she smiles.

"It's okay. *Cough * *cough * I don't need that handkerchief."

"You're coughing. Are you sick?" she asks with concern.

"I'm fine! You really love to make fuss!" He turns his head. Hiiragizawa's face comes into Tomoyo's vision.

"You're-!" Tomoyo gasps. Hiiragizawa takes a few steps back and runs away as fast as possible from her.

Tomoyo comes home and greets her mother weakly. She passes the plastic of condensed milk to her mother ad walks slowly upstairs. The door closes. Sonomi looks out of the kitchen door and stares at Tomoyo's room door, wondering about the sudden change of mood in Tomoyo.

* * *

"Hiiragizawa-kun? He, the cat, rain." Tomoyo sits slowly on her chair. "I don't understand him."

".Maybe he's not actually bad. Maybe, he has a problem. And what's on with the cough? It seems bad." Tomoyo's eyes reflect worry.

"I want to help him. I want to be his friend. I know he is kind!" Tomoyo looks up determinedly.

* * *

"Ano (Umm), is Hiiragizawa-kun there?" Tomoyo asks as she stands in front of class 8-1A.

"Gomen ne, demo (Sorry, but) he didn't come to school today," Mayumi answers as she holds the broom on her hands.

Kagome comes towards both of them and say, " Funny, it's been a long time since he last play truant. What's wrong with him?"

Mayumi raises her eyebrow.

"Since when he becomes your danna (husband)?"

Kagome blushes a deep shade of red. "It's not like that!" Meanwhile, Tomoyo's mind has been drifting somewhere else.

'He didn't come! Maybe, he's sick.he's coughing yesterday, ne (right)?' her forehead furrows with worry. Tomoyo bows.

"Arigato (thanks) for the help," she starts to walk away.
