Lovers' Destiny

Chapter 1: Destined to Meet

The silhouettes of a hill, a cherry blossom tree, and a girl with long hair invaded Gakupo's dream. He noticed his own silhouette beside the girl's. As he kept on dreaming, he felt like it had happened before. All of a sudden, the silhouettes started disappearing and the picture started getting clearer except for his and the girl's. They were a blur. He waited a little longer to check if the blur would disappear, but…

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Gakupo looked at the beeping alarm clock. 7:20. "Oh no! I'll be late!" He got up quick and got dressed. He went downstairs to grab a quick breakfast and ran out the door. With toast hanging from his mouth, he tied his long, purple hair with a black hair tie and buttoned up his polo shirt. He ran faster while nibbling on the toast with no hands. As he rushes to school, he falls to the ground after bumping onto someone.

"Ouch! Will you watch where you're going?" he yelled, getting up and fixing himself. Then, he looked at the person he bumped onto and realized he had made a mistake of being rude.

In front of him was a lady who had fallen to the ground with long tresses of straight, pink hair, aquamarine eyes and light, smooth-looking skin.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to—" Gakupo explained, still had his eyes fixed on hers.

She stood up without help and looked at Gakupo. "I'm okay," she said with her mature, yet emotionless voice. She brushed the dirt off her skirt and looked at Gakupo again.

"Do you know where Seiketsu Gakuen is?" she asked, keeping eye contact with him.

"Y-yeah. Just follow me." Gakupo led the way to the school and didn't rush. He brought her to the guidance counselor and was able to get a free tardy pass. He walked out of the room and thought about the pink-haired girl he just met.

"She sure is a cutie," he sighed, thinking that he'll never meet her again, thinking she was in a higher grade than him. He entered his classroom and was surprised that the teacher wasn't there. As he went in, a lime green-haired girl rushed to hug him and almost knocked him down.

"Gakku! I was so worried of you! I thought you weren't coming!" she exclaimed, still clinging onto him.

"Sorry, Gumi. Now, can you let go of me, please?" Gakupo replied, trying to get Gumi's grip to loosen.

"Sorry." Gumi replied with a childish voice. She sat down at the other side of the room and Gakupo sat beside a teal-haired girl with long pigtails.

"Good morning, Gakupo-kun," the girl said.

"Morning, Miku."

"What's wrong?"

"Just tired."

"I told you to stop watching porn late at night, didn't I?" Miku playfully teased.

Gakupo got up and argued with her. "I don't even watch those!"

Miku started laughing at him and he started laughing with her, after he imagined how he just looked like.

The room fell silent as they heard the door open. The teacher walked in with her heels clicking on the hard floor. She stood behind her podium located in the center of the front of the room.

"Today, we have a new student that will be joining us," she said, fixing her eyeglasses. "Come on in, Megurine-san."

Each and every person in the room did not dare make a move and waited for the girl to come in. The room was so silent that you'd be able to hear a pin drop to the ground. Gakupo then realized that it was her.

A girl walked in with her brown knee high boots, with the skirt and blouse required for their school uniform. The girl's long, pastel hair swayed along with her movement and flowed so smoothly. She stood beside Haigou-sensei.

"Go ahead and introduce yourself," encouraged Haigou-sensei.

"My name is Megurine Luka. I came from the States. Please take care of me." She bowed to everybody and suddenly, Gakupo broke the silence.

"It's you!" he yelled. Luka looked up to see who it was, and found that it was the person that helped her find her way to the school.

"Thank you for the help." Luka bowed and waited for the teacher's instructions.

"You may sit beside Kamui-kun for it seems that you and him have already met," Haigou-sensei said, handing Luka her textbooks to put in her desk.

She took her time making her way to the seat she was assigned to. As she walked between the desks, everyone stared her down, but she kept walking with a lady-like walk. Other students couldn't believe she was in the same age as them for she had acted more mature than how their age should act. Her maturity gave a clue to the students that she came from a high-class social standing.

"Nice to meet you, Megurine-san," introduced Gakupo, breaking the silence in the classroom.

"Same here, Kamui-san. Thank you for your help earlier," Luka replied.

The class started and day went on normally. However, Gakupo had something that kept troubling his mind. He looked at Luka for a couple of times with wonder if they've met before besides meeting her on their way to the school. Luka would notice his staring at her, but would ignore him by paying attention on what the teacher explained.

Time flew by and it was already lunch time. All the boys and girls in Luka's class swarmed on her, asking her different kinds of questions. Miku, Gakupo and Gumi however prepared their bentos.

"I don't see why they make such a big fuss about her," full of jealousy, Gumi slammed her small fist on the desk.

"Don't mind her. She's new and she needs to make new friends." Miku kindly said.

"Whatever." Gumi replied, obnoxiously.

Gakupo, who had not been paying attention to the two girls' conversation, kept on staring at Luka. However, he seemed to not pay attention to his surroundings either.

Luka noticed Gakupo and looked at him. Her cold, emotionless, aquamarine eyes met his gazing, amethyst eyes. Gakupo took his gaze away from her, his face blushing. He stood up, which made everybody turn their attention to him, and walked out of the room to get fresh air outside.

He went up the vacant rooftop of the school and laid down under the October sky. The wind blew on his face causing him to close his eyes. In no time, he fell asleep.

Gakupo was having the same dream he had this morning except that this time, they started off to the point he left off. Everything was getting clearer. He can see the cherry blossom tree shedding its beautiful petals. Under it was him and a girl with a long hair, although her hair color was still a blur. The girl started walking towards him closer and went close to his face to whisper into his ear.

"We were destined to meet."
