A/N: I'm not fond of the day you guys celebrate on the 14th of February. I'm merely an Islam girl. I just can't get romance into reality and I've never experience this 'love' thing. I think of boys as nothing but my temper punching bag. No offence please!
Disclaimer: I've never own La Corda D'oro. I only own the idea.
Chapter 1: The Cunning Setup.
Kahoko surprisingly woke up just before dawn break. She slowly bathed and dressed up slowly. The sun was about to rise by the time Kahoko was ready. She walked down the stairs and came face to face with a wall... or a chest.
"Sleepy, Kaho?" A deep muffled voice chuckled. She looked up to see her brother, Hino Kisuke. He came home since the end of his exams and now just waiting idly for the result before taking the Master Degree in 'World History'. Apparently he wanted to be a Historian. He had red hair with a tint of gold that went to his broad shoulders and mesmerizing blue eyes, which was framed with white half-rimmed glasses. He held a brochure in hand; no doubt about book auctions again considering his profession.
"Nii-san…" Kahoko rubbed the sleep from her eye. Kisuke sighed, taking off his glasses and pinching the nose, a habit he picked up from his father. He looked at her, well amused and took out something from his back pocket.
"Ne, Kahoko. Here." He held out a red ribbon and grabbed her right wrist. "Nii-san!" Kahoko groaned, trying to escape his brother's firm grip as he winded the ribbon around her arm. "There!" He smiled.
"What's with the ribbon?" Kahoko blinked. The ribbon was winded around her arm and was tie in a bow on the wrist. The rest of the ribbon ends reached past the tips of her fingers down to her knees. Kisuke traced a star on the ribbon.
"According to legend, a hopeless girl who founded her soul mate by tying a ribbon around her arm; letting the ends of the ribbon go past her finger tips and trace the star 'Kagome' on the wrist. The boy destined to be should be able to make the ribbon loose itself simply by touching her hand." Kisuke explained, placing the glasses atop the side table next to him.
"What nonsense! Now, get this thing off." Kahoko tried pulling and fumbling with the ribbon but it simply won't free off. Just then Kahoko's elder sister ran down the stairs.
"Yo, Kisuke! Hey, Kahoko!" Kitsuka greeted and stared at the ribbon.
"Pulling the trick on again?" She huffed. Kitsuka is 3 years older than Kahoko and two years younger than Kisuke. She has shoulder-length dark vermillion red hair with a tinge of black and a pair of beautiful red eyes. Her pale skin, fanged-shaped teeth along with her eyes made her look almost like a vampire but she would shrug it off; telling people that she was born like that. People who'd never met Kitsuka would freak out and ran away from her but Kitsuka claimed she's used to the attention in college. Kitsuka is also waiting for the result of her exams before moving on to University to study 'Chemistry'. Her goal was to become a scientist.
"Ne, Kahoko. We'll see you later, okay? Tomorrow is the day the alumni of Seiso Reunion. I wonder how Misao is." Kitsuka wondered, pouting slightly.
"Ah yes, and I was hoping to see Hitsugaya. I bet he's already snagged Hinamori Momo! Toshiro can be so naive! Sometimes I wonder weather he's really 'The Yakuza Heir of the Hitsugaya Clan, Toshiro Hitsugaya'." Kisuke mentioned, remembering an old classmate.
"Okay, see you later!" Kahoko smiled as she quickly finished her breakfast she'd ate when Kitsuka came. She drank down three glass of milk, take the bento and a paper bag from the counter and walked out of the house, contended on going to school by her bicycle her mother bought her last new year.
"Hopefully, today will be a good day." She smiled at the paper bag resting on the basket with her bag and bento as she cycled to the familiar path of Seiso Academy.
