Tears continued to pour out of her eyes as she bawled in front of a large department store in Akihabara. She had gotten lost, running through all those pretty grown up clothing found in the department stores. Tears had started welling up immediately and she ended up running throughout and outside of the store in hopes of finding her parents. She was unable to find them and once she was too tired to run any longer, she started crying in the middle of the crosswalk. Pedestrians shuffled uneasily around her, some giving her a pitying glance before moving on. It seems everyone was busy and no one had time to spare for her.

"A-are you okay?"

She turned to the boy in front of her with red eyes and a leaky nose before starting to bawl again.

"I-I CA-CA-CAN'T FIND MOMMY AND DADDY!"

The boy in front of her shuffled uneasily as he looked around at the passer-bys for help but walks on by. She continued to bawl until a sudden wave of warmth caressed her hand, causing her to stop in surprise. The boy was holding her hand.

"C'mon," the boy said suddenly as he pulled her along. "We'll find your parents. Just leave it to me."

Silence fell between the two, only to be interrupted by the intercom in the mall and the quiet sniffles and hiccups of the little girl. The boy continued to pull the girl until they reached the main security office.

"Excuse me?"

A thin, balding man that was sitting behind a desk reading a newspaper looked up from his silent vigil and down at them over the top of his cluttered desk.

"Yes?"

"I found this little girl outside," the boy says as he points towards her. "She says that her mommy and daddy were shopping when she got lost."

The security guard's eyes glanced towards the girl. With a nod, he sat back into his chair and picked up the phone on his desk. A loud screech sounded throughout the mall before we heard his voice.

"Attention shoppers. A little girl has been found and is currently waiting for her parents in the security room, located on the first floor behind the food court."

With his message said, he placed the phone back into the cradle and told the two to go sit in a chair lining the wall. The two followed his instructions and waited. Not even five minutes had passed before a young couple barged into the room. With an excited cry of "Mommy", the girl launched herself into the older woman's arms and started to sob. The boy smiled happily to himself before he turned to walk out the door. Before he left, the father placed a hand on his shoulders and turned him around.

"Thank you."

The boy could hear the gratitude and relief pouring out from his voice and smiled yet again.

"Ah, it wasn't a big deal. I have a little sister around her age myself so when I saw her, I couldn't just leave her there."

By that time, the mother had recovered and was also thanking the boy. She turned to the girl hiding shyly behind her and urged her to thank him too.

"Thanks." She quietly mumbles with a cute smile.

The boy leaned down and petted her hair.

"Next time, don't run away from your parents, okay? You're too cute to cry," the boy said with a smile. "You look just like an angel."

Giving one last wave to the happy family, the boy walked towards the train station back to Chiba.

Ayase woke up from her dream with a happy yawn. Remembering that incident from nearly a decade ago always brought a smile to her face. He was like a fairy tale prince that saved a princess, and she was the princess. She would be the first to admit that she had an unrequited crush on the mysterious boy from her childhood. His parting words of her being an angel caused her to grow a fixation on the word so that she could be everything he said she was…for him. It sounded like a clichéd penny novel plot but she took his words to heart. She was an angel in every sense of the word. His angel.

Her grades were always in the top ten of her classes, and made sure to stay away from anything that were considered abnormal like manga and anime. She even took extra care to make sure she looked like an angel. As such, it wasn't that much of a surprise when her parents told her that a recruiter spotted her and wanted to make her a model at the young age of eleven. Half a year later, she was widely regarded as one of the best in the model business in her age group. "An angel" a magazine had called her.

Shaking herself from her thoughts, she glanced towards her old sailor uniform that she wore in elementary school with a fond smile before walking over to her closet and taking out a new uniform. It was her first day at Chiba Benton Junior-High and High School. Due to lowering infancy rates with every passing year, several schools have closed down only to merge with a larger school nearby. Chiba Benton changed from a regular high school to a mixed high and junior high school.

With a slight shrug, Ayase took off the coat hangers from the outfit and started to put them on.

'Hmm, I wonder if I'd see him there.'

With that thought in mind, she bounded down the stairs to go eat breakfast before leaving for school. After eating a small plate of tamagoyaki, Ayase grabbed her lunchbox and ran out of her house while waving a goodbye to her parents.

Hello! I am RayneTDX. I have decided to take up this story from CombatWars. Here's a heads-up. The main ship of this story would be AyaseXKyousuke. No harem either. There will be no objections allowed. Of course, your decisions on how you want the plot to progress will be influential on the later chapter.

As you can see, I have decided to leave the first chapter as it is.

This isn't the only fan fiction that i am writing. I have other stories on my plate. So which story I decide to write on is heavily dependant on whether I feel like it, and whether I have enough motivation/inspiration/ideas to progress plot. This may be more slice of life in some chapters.

I will write this story in a third person perspective.

Well, I don't like the personality of Kyousuke in the anime. He may go out of character in my story, just saying. Also, just for fun, I may add in characters from other romance or high school anime series. You guys can suggest which characters from which anime you want me to add into this story.

Also. I am collecting interesting stories. If you have interesting stories of events or stuff that happened in your life and you don't mind sharing, send it to me via PM. I will be adding these stories to some chapters of my fanfiction. Of course, I won't force you, and I may also not use stories that my team and I deem as inappropriate.

Okay, that is all I have to say. See you next chapter.
