Till We Meet . . . .

On the beach in the late afternoon, two children at the age of eight played happily with each other as a pink haired girl ran alongside a tanned boy across the sandy shore.

Simply these two were crazy about each other as they spent every waking moment they could in each other's presence. But to say they were the best of friends couldn't quite explain it as the bond they shared was even closer than that. Every time they were together it was almost like everything was right with the world. But like all good things, they must eventually come to an end.

Now close to the early evening, the pair sat quietly next to each other against a boulder looking out to the setting sun. The tanned youth looked to his friend as a wide smile began to spread along his face to which she in turn did the same. But it slowly crept away as she looked towards the horizon. "Kohta . . . . Will I be . . . . Able to see you again?"

The tanned youth chuckled at her question. "Of course you will! We've been together for all this time. There's no way I won't be able to see you".

The pale girl looked down at his statement. ". . . . How long will you be away?"

Kohta scratched his head in thought as he pondered this. "I'm not really sure. Father is having some sort of business trip and wants me and Kanae to come with him. So I'm not sure how long I'll be gone or when will will meet up again".

Her lips slightly wavered as tears began to form in her eyes.

At seeing her current reaction, the tanned youth immediately dug into his pocket as he slowly stretched out his arm to her revealing the contents in his hand.

"What's that?" she sniffled out.

"It's a jade stone I found when we were playing out in the forest. I wanted to give it to you because it was really pretty and it deserves to go to someone as pretty as you".

The pale girl blushed as a smile began creep back onto her face. "Thank you Kohta, it's very beautiful".

"But it isn't just a gift" smiled Kohta. "It's a promise!"

". . . . A promise?" she asked.

"Yeah! A promise that one day I'll come back to you and we'll make up for the lost time between us!"

The tanned youth blushed as the pink haired girl leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Kohta let out a soft chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head. "It's a promise right?"

He then went in as he hugged his best friend. "Of course it is! We'll be together again, right Kaede-chan?"

~ Bus (7 years later) ~

Kohta woke up from his seat as he grabbed his face from the dream he had. He then rubbed his eyes as the drowsiness slowly faded away. As he sat up right, he looked out the window to see absolute darkness passing him by as the bus went along. He then let out a sigh closing his eyes before reopening them. " . . . . It's that dream again. What is it supposed to mean?"

"You're a student enrolling at Youkai academy, right?"

Kohta perked up as it was apparent the bus driver was talking to him (seeing he was the only one riding). "Ah, yeah".

"In that case, you had best prepare yourself. When we come out of this long tunnel we'll be right in front of the school. Youkai academy . . . . is a very horrifying school" as the bus driver gave out a creepy chuckle. Soon enough they arrived to their destination as Kohta was promptly kicked out as he watched the bus drive away.

He then looked out to the surrounding area to see how . . . . peculiar everything was. Simply, the school grounds looked like they were something out of a very well organized haunted house set-up. Not that he was scared or anything, it just felt like a weird place to be at. ". . . . Well it could be worse" soon shrugging it off he made his way towards campus grounds.

As he walked, he contemplated at how he even got to where he was.

Seven years ago when he was only eight, his father and sister died mysteriously in a bizarre accident which left him alone and orphaned. Of course he had relatives that took him in. But even for his young mind he understood he was being a burden to them for the stress he caused them financially just to support him. So by the time he graduated junior high he decided to make himself more useful as he didn't want to trouble the people around him anymore.

Interestingly that same day, a mysterious flyer soon came into his possession. On it was information about a high school known as Youkai academy. Without a second thought he decided to attend as the school required no fees or entrance exams. So going there was practically a no brainer to him.

But now back in the present world, Kohta had to admit that the place was getting weirder and weirder by the second as he walked along. "Is there some sort of event going on right now?"

"Excuse me, can you help me?"

"Huh?" the tanned youth looked around to see no one about. He then scratched his cheek, "must have been my imagination".

"Up here!"

Kohta looked up to be surprised to see a girl up there. "Huh, what are you doing up in that tree?"

"A baby bird fell out its nest and I wanted to put him back. But now I'm stuck up here".

He then gave out a strained chuckle. "I'm assuming you can't just climb down".

The girl shook her head as she clamped onto the branch for dear life. "I didn't realize how high up I was before I looked down. Now I don't know what to do".

Kohta rubbed the back of his head as he contemplated the situation. "Umm . . . . Well . . . . What do you want me to do?"

"Catch me!"

"Ehh!"

Without a moment to think about it the girl let go of the branch forcing the panicked youth to immediately position himself to catch her. As they made contact, the pair crashed into the ground making a large thud as they landed.

"Oh" he moaned out, "that hurt". Kohta slowly opened his eyes, but as he did this blood immediately rushed to his head as it threatened to spill right out of him. Apparently the girl on top of him managed to break her fall by using his face as a landing pad for her twin mounds.

"I'm sorry for troubling you like that" said the girl as she sat up on his belly. "I hope you're not hurt".

"No! Not at all!" he stuttered as he looked away while waving his hands. "Umm . . . . would it be OK if you get off me . . . ."

"Ohh! Sorry"

As the pair separated Kohta couldn't help but continue blushing as he looked to her. The girl in question was indeed quite beautiful. Her appearance was quite elegant as she had long silky pink hair, fine porcelain pale skin, and a pair of crimson eyes that was quite the sight to see. But what caught his attention next was a pair of horns which seemed to be intruding off her head. "Must be some sort of cosplay thing". He then stood up as he dusted himself off. "That was very dangerous you know. You could've gotten hurt".

"I know" said the girl. "But I couldn't just leave the baby lying there all alone on the road. So I had to do something. Besides I had this really good feeling that you would have been there to save me".

Kohta's eyebrow rose slightly before he replaced it with a soft smile. "That's really nice of you".

"Thank you!" as she then jumped onto him giving him a deep hug while displaying a brilliant sunny smile.

"Wow, you are really friendly".

The pink haired girl giggled as she backed away. "I'm sorry for dropping in on you like that. By the way, my name is Nyu, Nyu Hikaru. What is your name?"

"Oh uhh umm it's Kohta, Kohta Hisashi" the tanned youth stuttered out.

The girl giggled again as she grabbed his hand in both of hers. "It's very nice to meet you Kohta-kun. I hope we can be friends! I was feeling lonely since I didn't know anyone here!"

Kohta was slightly breathless at how spontaneous this girl was. But perhaps that was what was attracting him to her. Yet strangely, some part of him felt like everything was going to be alright so long as she was right next to him all the way. " . . . . But why do I get this feeling that I should know who she is?" He shook his head at this notion. "Well anyways I'm very pleased to meet you".

"I'm also very pleased to meet you too" smiled Nyu. "When the entrance ceremony is over please talk to me some more OK".

With that the pair walked happily side by side with each other as they made their way into Youkai academy.

To be continued . . . .

Author's notes: This was just an idea I had. Additionally this is also the pilot chapter to gauge if I'll continue the story or not.

Now concerning the story it will mostly be focused on Kohta and Kaede/Lucy/Nyu relationship. Of course I'll also be using other characters from both mangas. But of course I'll see what happens first as there are a lot of things I thought about concerning much of the construction of this story.

So I thank you for reading this fic and I hope you review it as well.
