Ok, so this is my first ever try at and Otome/HiME fic, so i would very much like people's views on it when they've finnished reading, please??

I don't own My Otome or My HiME. This fic is kind of a crossover fic.


Snow was falling lightly as Chie unlocked the door to her new apartment. Kicking off her shoes and turning on the hall light she smiled faintly and removed her jacket. Her father had certainly made sure she would be settled in; the apartment was furnished, and her belongings had been delivered safely. She had to hand it to her father, being in the military was useful. However, she could do without the constant travelling. And now, that she had finally convinced her family, she was going to live by herself while she finished her schooling. Being back in Fuka was a relief. She had missed the country greatly during her five year absence, and looked forward to returning to Garderobe, the most prestigious school in the country.

"I wonder if Natsuki and the others will be thrilled to see me back," Chie wondered out loud to herself as she wandered into the kitchen. Grabbing a Cola from the fridge she flopped down on the sofa and stared out at the night sky.

"I wonder if she will be glad to see me…"


"Heeeee?! Chie-chan is that you?!"

Chie flashed one of her charming smiles at the pigtailed girl who had a finger shoved in her face, "Hello Shiho, how's things?"

"You seriously came back here?" an attractive asked incredulously, staring at Chie.

"Hmm Nao-kun, and I though you would have missed me," Chie winked.

Nao blinked and turned her head, snorting, "Whatever, I suppose its good to have you back, you can take this blockhead of my hands." She said, throwing a thumb at Shiho.

"What was that Juliet?!" Shiho fumed, turning on the redhead.

"Don't call me Juliet!" Nao snapped.

Chie chuckled at her friends, "You two are still the same I see."

"Humph." Nao said, smirking.

"Are you here for good now, Chie?" Shiho asked.

"Yeah, I convinced my father to let me finish school here, perhaps even go to college." Chie replied as they began walking towards the school building.

"That's pretty cool of him," Nao said, glaring at some younger students who were ogling Chie.

"Yeah," Chie chuckled; flashing a grin to the girls and making them swoon. "Anyway, what are Natsuki and the others up to these days?"

"Hmm well, Haruka-oneesama is leading her own detective agency apparently," Shiho said, tapping her chin, "Mai-senpai has opened her restaurant like she wanted and has this hyper girl that lives with her."

"Hyper?" Chie blinked.

"Ah, Mikoto," Nao said, smirking again, "You'll understand when you meet her."

"AND!" Shiho yelled, annoyed at Nao's interruption, "Natsuki-senpai and Shizuru-oneesama are running this school!"

"Huh?!" Chie stopped suddenly, "Natsuki is?"

"Humph," Nao spat, "That mutt went and got herself established as the Chairman here, after her Mother retired and brought Viola along as principal! Can you believe that?! As if anyone would fall for that cover-up!"

"Still have those problems with Natsuki-senpai, huh Nao?" Chie chuckled.

"It's not my fault she's a stuck up bitch," Nao pouted.

Chie chuckled quietly to herself. Nao and Natsuki rivalry had started the day they had met in the student council room, and had been unshakable ever since. Despite the fact that Natsuki, Mai, Haruka and Shizuru were all older than Chie and the others, they had all become fast friends. Chie had been a member of the school newspaper club and thus had dealings with the student council that Nao was involved in. Mai, Natsuki's best friend, had immediately decided to take the three juniors under her wing, thus bringing Shizuru and Haruka into the mix as Natsuki was also a member of the student council.

"I'd best go see them then" Chie smiled, "Wanna come with?" She poked at Nao, unable to resist.

"Hell no," Nao snapped, "I spend enough time having to listen to that Mutt's lectures as it is."

"That's because Juliet always skips classes and talks back with that big mouth of hers." Shiho said gleefully.

"Shut it Uzumaki!"

"Don't call me Uzumaki!" Shiho fumed.

"Don't call me Juliet." Nao threw back.

Chie sighed as she left her friends and headed towards the administration building. Her thoughts wandered from her friends and happy memories to one person in particular. Slowing her stride, Chie stared off into the sky, thinking about the one person she hoped to see most upon her return.

"Aoi.." she whispered to herself. She hoped that the brunette was still attending Garderobe and that she would be able to see her soon.

"Ara, if it isn't Chie-chan."

Chie turned, snapping out of her reverie to face the owner of the cultured Kyoto accent.

"Shiz-"Chie caught herself, "Gakuencho! It's good to see you!" she bowed.

"It has been too long, Chie-chan." Viola Shizuru smiled warmly at her once underclassmen.

"Yes it has, I'm glad to be back." Chie replied.

"I am to understand you are here to finalise your enrolment?" Shizuru asked, beginning to walk.

"Yes ma'am," Chie replied, falling in beside the principal.

"Natsuki will be happy to see you," Shizuru smiled.

"Seems everyone is," Chie said quietly. Well, she thought, I hope everyone.


"It's good to see you again, Chie" Kruger Natsuki, the resident Chairman of Garderobe Academy, grasped Chie's hand warmly.

"Same to you, Kruger-kaichou." Chie said, bowing slightly."

"Please," Natsuki said, some of her old stubbornness slipping into her voice, "Do away with the kaichou part, I'm so sick of hearing it."

Chie smiled slightly, "Of course, Natsuki-senpai."

Natsuki smirked lightly, and seated herself at her desk, "Your enrolment is all taken care of, and Shizuru has your classes. I suspect you won't have any trouble settling in? I hear you aren't in need of a dorm room?"

"No," Chie said steadily, "My father has acquired an apartment for me close to the school that I'll be using."

"Right then," Natsuki said, stippling her fingers, "well that's everything settled then." The principal smiled.

"Do you require my assistance in finding your classroom, Chie-chan?" Shizuru asked, handing the younger girl a sheet of paper.

Chie saw a look, so subtle, she near missed it, pass between the two women, she smiled faintly. "No, that's quite alright Gakuenchou." She said.

"Well then, best get going, you don't want to end up with a bad record like Nao." Natsuki said.

Chie smiled and left the two school leaders to themselves.

"Ara, Natsuki is so protective of the students," Shizuru said, smiling, "I think I feel a little jealous."

"Humph, I'm just looking out for her well being, being friends with that Nao is bad news." Natsuki said, looking up as Shizuru moved beside her.

"As it was for Mai-san being friends with Natsuki?" Shizuru asked slyly, "As I recall you were much like Nao when we attended as students."

Natsuki blushed and glared up at the taller women, "Shut up," she mumbled, pulling Shizuru down towards her.


"So how was the meeting with the mutt?" Nao asked casually while the three of them sat around a table in the cafeteria.

"Fine," Chie chuckled and pushed up her glasses, "why would there be a problem?"

Nao just gave her a look, before taking a bit of her bento.

"Nao-senpai! Shiho-senpai!"

All three girls turned to see a ball of hyperactive energy with auburn hair come racing over their table.

"Ne ne! I heard there was a handsome new Senpai that transferred today, is this her?! Is she your friend?"

"You idiot, keep your voice down!" another voice hissed. Chie turned to see two more girls join the first, one with dark blue/black hair, the other sporting long lavender tresses. The voice belonged to the slightly shorter lavender haired beauty, who promptly hit her friend about the head.

"Oww, Mashiro-chan what was that for?" the auburn haired girl whined, rubbing her head and pouting.

"Hello Nina," Nao said smirking at the younger girls.

"Hello Nao-senpai," the blue haired girl said shyly.

"Hmm?" Chie surveyed the newcomers, "Who are these cute underclassmen?" She flashed on of her smiles. All three girls blushed slightly.

"I'm Arika!" the auburn haired girl said enthusiastically, her bow exaggerated, "And this is Nina Wang and Mashiro de Windbloom."

"Nice to meet you," Chie smiled, "I'm Chie Harada, a friend of these two." Chie pointed at Nao and Shiho.

"Whaa! From when you were kids?!" Arika exclaimed, "That's so cute!"

"Arika" Mashiro groaned.

"This is our womanising friend we told you about," Nao said, waving her hand as if to swat a fly.

"Womaniser?" Chie scoffed, "What kind of weird stories have you been filling people's heads with you two?"

"Well you are a bit." Shiho said, grinning, "But at least you don't go around beating up the boys from other schools like Juliet here."

"Shut up Uzumaki," Nao snapped, "They get what they deserve."

"Hn? What do they do?" Arika asked innocently, blinking at Nao and Shiho.

"Just ask her out, no crime really, "Shiho said, "But this psycho decks them just for that." She threw her hands up, as if Nao was a lost cause.

"Hmph, at least I get offers," Nao said, smirking, "Unlike miss frigid here."

"What was that! Damn you Juliet! "Shiho fumed, pulling out a small pocket book and scribbling in it, "I'll get you for that!"

"Hee, so Nao-senpai doesn't like boys" Arika said, looking at Mashiro who smiled slightly.

"Arika!" Nina spoke up, her face slightly flushed, "Don't make assumptions like that!"

Chie noted with interest that Nina kept glancing quickly at Nao as she spoke, and her hands were clenched. She was about to respond when a flash of chocolate caught her eye. Twisting abruptly in her chair, Chie located the owner of that lovely hair.

"Aoi…" she whispered, causing the others to stop and look also.

"Whaa, the vice president is so beautiful isn't she, "Arika said, her eyes shining.

"Walks like a princess," Mashiro said.

"Vice President?" Chie gasped, turning to her companions, a question in her eyes.

"Aoi-chan entered the student council two years ago," Nao said.

"And she was voted Vice-president this year." Shiho finished.

"She's suspected to become student body president next year as well," Nina said quietly.

Chie took all this in, her eyes returning to Aoi as she crossed the cafeteria.

"Aoi!" Nao called, waving an arm in the air, as Aoi passed close to their table.

Aoi glanced over and stopped in mid step, her eyes meeting Chie's instantly.

"Aoi-senpai, why don't you join us for lunch?" Mashiro asked eagerly.

Aoi hesitated an instant before smiling and dipping her head slightly, "I'm sorry Mashiro-chan, Arika-chan; I have something to attend to, so I must go." She waved and disappeared out the cafeteria door.

Chie stared after Aoi, confused at her reaction. Aoi had seemed almost, scared, at the prospect of joining them, even though, back in their elementary years, the four of them had been together almost constantly.

"Poor Aoi-chan" Shiho sighed dramatically.

"Why?" Mashiro looked puzzled.

"She's working so hard in the student council cause that lame brain who is president now is hopeless!" Shiho stated vehemently.

"She's practically doing the presidents job already," Nao put, leaning back in her chair and stretching, her uniform pulling tight over her breasts.

Chie noticed Nina's reaction to this and wondered vaguely if Nao wasn't doing it on purpose.

"I hope Aoi-senpai doesn't work too hard," Arika said sadly.

"Yeah, "Mashiro agreed distractedly, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen her in the cafeteria much for the last few weeks."

"Perhaps she eats in the council room," Shiho waved her hand.

"Every time I go to the student council room, there's never any evidence of her having eaten," Nina said quietly. Chie looked at the young dark haired girl, her concern for Aoi rising slightly. She glanced off towards the direction the brunette had taken, thinking she would have to talk to her soon.


Chie sighed, closing her shoe locker gently. It had been several weeks since she rejoined her friends at Garderobe Academy and she had had no time to speak to Aoi at all. Aside from fleeting glances and an occasional wave, Chie got that feeling that Aoi was trying to avoid her and the others. It seemed absurd; the Aoi she remembered had always been bright and friendly. Now, however, Aoi barely spoke to anyone if it wasn't regarding Student Council matters.

"Earth to Chie," Nao was waving a hand in front of Chie's eyes, "We were thinking of heading into town, want to join us?"

"Huh?" Chie blinked, "Uh, yeah, sure."

"Nao-senpai!"

Both girls turned, to see Arika and Mashiro running towards them.

"What is it, Arika-chan?" Chie asked, looking from one girl to the other, both were flushed as if they had run a long way.

"Nina-chan went to the student council room to drop off some stuff," Arika said breathlessly, clutching her chest.

"We went with her, thinking she would just be a few moments," Mashiro continued.

"And when we got there, Aoi-senpai was passed out at one of the tables!" Arika exclaimed, grabbing Chie's arm, "Nina-chan said she had a fever, she sent us to get help."

"Nina-chan stayed there?" Nao asked.

"Yes," Mashiro nodded, "said it was best to have someone there."

"You have to help!" Arika said a worried look in her eyes.

"Let's go," Chie said, already heading towards the top floor.


"Aoi!" Chie pulled the door to the student council, followed closely by, Arika, Mashiro, and albeit reluctantly, Nao.

"Chie-senpai, Nao-senpai!" Nina exclaimed, looking up.

"How is Aoi-senpai?" Mashiro asked, clasping her hands in front of her chest. Arika put a comforting arm around the shorter girl.

"Not so good," Nina replied, standing, and moving away to let Chie closer.

"Aoi," Chie said softly, brushing some hair off Aoi's flushed face.

"Chie…chan," Aoi's eyes fluttered open weakly.

"What have you gotten yourself into, working this hard?" Chie scolded gently, resting her hand on the brunette forehead, "You have a fever and you look dead tired."

"Nothing…it's not so bad," Aoi said feebly trying to rise.

"Oh for gods sake Aoi!" Nao snapped, stepping forward to steady the girl with Chie, "You're ready to drop dead any second so stop playing the 'I'm ok' line, its old."

"We should get her to the dorms," Nina said quietly.

They made their way slowly across the school towards the dormitories, which were set on Garderobe's eastern side. Nao lead the way to Aoi's dorm room, helping Chie support the almost dead weight of the brunette. The three younger girls followed worriedly.

"That should make her more comfortable," Nao said dryly, stepping back to let Chie move to Aoi's side, "though she should take care of herself better."

"She was probably too stressed to think about it, you know how she can get," Chie said, standing and facing her companions, "Its probably best if you guys get going, she should be ok after some rest and food."

"But…" Arika started to protest.

"Don't argue Ant," Nao said, "She won't get any rest with you lot trampling around her room, go back to your own and don't worry."

"Nao-senpai's right" Nina said, looking and Arika and Mashiro and smiling, "Aoi-senpai should be fine, but we wouldn't really be of much help being here."

"You heard her," Nao said briskly, ushering the younger girls towards the door, "Leave the two love birds in peace," she whispered under her breath as she shut the door.


"I hope Aoi-senpai will be ok," Arika said, as she and Mashiro headed away from Aoi's room.

"Aoi will be fine," Nao said, "She just needs to recognise when she needs rest."

"Nao-senpai is worried about Aoi," Mashiro snickered.

"I am not!" Nao snapped raising her fist in the air as Mashiro and Arika took off down the hall, giggling madly.

"Damn kids," Nao sighed, squeezing between her eyes.

"Nao-senpai, you are worried though, aren't you?" Nina said quietly, looking at the redhead.

"More annoyed, Chie and I were going to go into the city, now it looks like I'll be going alone and that's just boring. I'm certainly not going to ask that Uzumaki to come." Nao said irritably. She glanced at Nina and noticed the dark-haired girl was looking at the floor, a slight blush colouring her cheeks. Grinning, Nao turned towards the younger girl.

"Looks like you'll have to stand in for her then," she said slyly.

"M-me?" Nina practically squeaked, staring up at Nao then quickly looking away.


"Don't act like you didn't want to ask," Nao said, tilting Nina's chin up so the younger girl was forced to look at her, "So how about it? Will you be my date, Ni-na-chan?" Nao smirked.

"Here Aoi, eat this," Chie said, offering a bowl of soup to Aoi.

"Thank-you, Chie-chan," Aoi said quietly, accepting that bowl. When she didn't make a move to eat for several moments, Chie sighed.

"You'll feel better if you eat a little," she said, pushing her glasses up her nose.

Aoi just nodded, and started to slowly eat. She kept her eyes focused steadily to the front, avoiding having to look at Chie.

"How have you been Aoi?" Chie asked softly, seating herself at Aoi's desk.

"Good," Aoi said quietly, "Busy."

"I gathered as much," Chie scolded gently, "You know you should take better care of yourself Aoi."

Aoi sighed, and placed her bowl to one side. She looked at Chie finally, smiling slightly.

"I know, but I've had so much to do lately and I've been a little stressed," Aoi looked down at her hands.

Chie sighed slightly, and moved to sit beside Aoi on the bed. She gently placed her hand over the brunette's.

"You can come talk to me anytime you need," Chie said, smiling, "But don't go getting yourself so tied you end up sick again, ok?" she rebuked gently.

Aoi looked at Chie and giggled quietly, "Thank you Chie-chan." She said gratefully.

"You'd best get some sleep now," Chie said, placing her hand gently on Aoi's forehead, "You still have a bit of a fever, though you look better now that you had some food."

Aoi blushed slightly and nodded. Her eyes were already starting to feel heavy as she lay down, feeling immensely comfortable with just Chie's presence.

"Stay," she said sleepily, already surrendering to her tied body.

"I will for a while, then I should head home, I'll come back tomorrow, since its our day off." Chie said.

Aoi only nodded tiredly and let herself fall into a deep slumber.
