Chapter 1 – The Betrayal
On an early July morning we can find our selves at the Kosaka family house hold. From inside we can hear the quiet sobbing of a girl around 12 with her head resting against a bed. In that bed there lay a still girl with pale skin.
Behind the weeping girl stood her mother who was also crying. "It's all my fault...if only I had stopped her..." Honoka kept repeating under her breath but her mother still heard her. "Honoka..." she started but was cut of abruptly by Honoka who had stood up wiping her tears with a tissue
"I'm off to school!" she said turning to her lone parent with a smile meeting her mothers worried gaze head on. But before she could even object she said something that made even the sad mother cry tears of joy.
"It's my last month of school...I can't miss it...its what Yukiho would have wanted...For us to be happy instead of being sad. Plus I'm sure she is in a better place now so let's step forward into the future and not linger in the past. That's what Yukiho always said to me." She said in a pain filled voice before giving one last sunny smile before leaving.
Time Skip – At School
Honoka soon arrived at school but realised she was at least an hour and a half early. Having nothing better to do she went to the roof where her favourite place was. Which just so happened to be on top of the entry way to the roof.
Not many people know this but she is actually a very academic student that has won a lot of the achievements that the school have today ranging from English to Art to Physical or even Drama and Music even Fashion and Dance! But she didn't care about those she just wanted her friends acknowledgment but she is having a hard time with them when they seem fixated on something completely different although for the life of her she couldn't find out what it was.
The thing that confused her was that almost all of the third years and second years hell even most of the first years acknowledged her but those two never did no matter what she did. She sometimes thought they where her friends just for the money but refused to believe it.
She was brought out of her musings by the school bell and she blinked in surprise. Looking down at her watch it read 7:30 so she went to the edge in front of the door and jumped down landing in a crouch before standing and swiftly walking off to her classroom to 'sleep'.
Unknown to her leaning against the wall to the right of the door was Student Council President Eli Ayase. While up there Honoka had failed to notice that she had been talking aloud for the most part and Eli had heard everything. Despite being a first year in Highschool she was quite smart. Smart enough to become Council President that is. She frowned and went to go talk to the Head Mistress about what she heard.
-In the Head Mistresses Office-
"Oh dear...This is troubling. I will have a word with both Umi and Kotori." She paused for a minute before she seemed to contemplate something. She looked at Eli with a sad face before opening her top desk draw and pulling out several large stuffed envelopes. Apon closer inspection they all we're addressed to one person. On the front of each one was neat fancy writing that read 'Kosaka Honoka'.
The worried Head mistress picked them up and held them up to Eli. "I would like for you to deliver these to Honoka if you would. If my memory serves me correctly you and Miss Honoka are friends...correct?" She received a small nod in reply. The letters were given to Eli who left after a quick thank you.
Quietly closing the door she looked down at the envelope's in her hand realized that they were actually rather heavy and bulky. That got her wondering about what could be inside them. Walking at a leisurely pace towards the other side of the school where the middle schoolers resided.
By now it was about half way through the first period and as she last recalled she had Physical first on Tuesdays. Looking outside she spotted the girl she was after running quite a bit ahead of the rest of her class with a bored look on her face not looking to be the slightest bit out of breath.
Finally reaching the front courtyard she waved the teacher over who looked quite surprised at her presence but came over anyway. About a minute later the teacher walked back to her class. "Kosaka-Chan come here please Ayase-Chan wishes to discuss something with you!" she called over to her getting a 'hai sensei' in return. Quite murmurs broke out through the class as each of them tried to guess what she was needed for.
"Follow me please Honoka" she said in a quiet voice and a smile only seen by Honoka herself. Eli quickly led them up to the roof were they wouldn't be disturbed. But just as she turned to speak two arms hooked around her waist. Looking down she saw the ground at least 10 metres away from her feet and screamed.
Well she would have screamed had she not suddenly felt the roof below her feet again. She looked around before realising that they were at Honoka's favourite spot in the school in the school although it had a few book shelves, cushions, heck it even had carpet. What left her in disbelief was that there was also electronics such as; a few laptops, phones, speakers, microphones, mp3 and 4 players, Xbox one, PlayStation and even a flat screen 65" Plasma screen TV. Overwhelmed, Eli fell on her butt when she was put down.
She slowly turned round to face Honoka who was looking at her expectantly. "Wow..." was all she could muster. Honoka pouted playfully at her bland response but said nothing more on the subject. She sat at a medium sized table that sat in the middle of the room surrounded by dark red fluffy cushions.
"Well sit down then and we can get down to business...so why are you here?" Honoka began in a polite, business like tone. Eli sat down and then pulled her bag so that it was on her lap. Opening the top she pulled out the envelopes that were to be delivered before placing them onto the table and sliding it forward towards Honoka who graciously accepted.
Quickly breaking the seal on the first on she pulled out the papers from inside. The first one was her yearly report with all the comments she got from teachers. Underneath that was lots of different recommendations from all of her different teachers for different courses next year. Apparently, according to these records, nearly if not all of her teachers had sent their recommendations to UTX Highschool. That gave her a rough idea of what one of the other envelopes were about.
Looking back at her report card she got straight A* as usual...
Putting that aside she opened the next one and found all of her certificates and pictures from competitions she has been in. She smiled before putting that aside as well. The third and final envelope was different. Instead of being white or grey it was black and her name was written fancily on the top in white. Slowly turning it around her breath caught in her throat before she smiled almost blindingly.
There on the front of the envelope was the school crest for UTX Highschool. Peeling the seal back gently as to not break it she carefully pulled out a few pages of paper. Eli having been silent before that gasped as she saw the school crest on the envelope and looked at Honoka as if telling her to hurry up. And hurry up she did. After pulling out all sheets of paper she tipped the envelope upside down and a few things fell out.
The first was a card with a locker number on it, next was the latest model of phone that is used to identify yourself, lastly there was a student ID with her name, age, birthday, ect. But the picture was blank. Picking up the letter she read it aloud for Eli to hear.

On the other piece was the entry forms and data forms, ect. By this time she had finished reading her eyes were sparkling with excitement before they dimmed and she looked down all of a sudden. Eli, surprised by the sudden mood change stood and walked round to her before crouching sown and lifting her chin
Looking down at Honoka now she had to admit she looked just like an angel. Her eyes glimmering with unshed tears, her hair slightly dishevelled, her skin glowing against the sunlight and her lips quivering slightly. " What's wrong" she spoke in a gentle voice. Honoka stared a little before answering. "Doing this means that I will have to leave you, Kotori and Umi... But going there was something Yukiho always wanted to do and I want to fulfil all of her wishes." She said as tears started to fall down her pale face. "Then why don't you talk to them and if you leave we can still visit each other. If you don't mind me asking... What happened to Yukiho?" She said in a hesitant voice at the end.
That's what opened the flood gates. Honoka started full out crying after that question. "Yukiho...Yukiho died earlier this morning and its all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and she got hit my that van...I could of ...I could of stopped it...IF ONLY IT HAD BEEN ME THEN SHE WOULDNT BE DEAD RIGHT NOW!" She screamed while crying. Eli not knowing what to do just comforted her as much as she could.
A little while later her loud cries turned to snivels. "Hey...Eli...can you...can you keep a secret like a really big one..?" she said in a low and quiet tone. Eli nodded quickly in response. This caused a small smile to break out onto Honoka's face before she stood and took a step back.
A flash caught Eli by surprise and she quickly shielded her eyes. When the light died down she uncovered them. Looking back in Honoka's direction feathers... White fluffy feathers floated down in front of her eyes. Quickly looking straight at Honoka her eyes widened in shock...
On Honoka's back was a pair of pure white angel wings! "Whoa!" Eli shouted in awe. All Honoka did was place a single delicate finger to her lips in a shushing motion. Eli's head shook up and down in a silent agreement.
A sigh escaped Honoka's lips as she said "I will confront Umi and Kotori after school. But for now let me sleep on your lap... I've been awfully tired as of late..." and with that final comment her wings disappeared and she fell onto her lap.
-Time Skip - After School -
Honoka, albeit reluctantly gathered all of the new information and achievements' and of course she couldn't forget her UTX forms and left the roof top to go meet up with Kotori and Umi.
It just so happened that they were both waiting at the front gate. Before leaving she confronted them with the dreaded question. "Hey...Umi, Kotori?" she said getting both of their attention. "What would you say if I said I was going to transfer to UTX for Highschool?" she trailed off, suddenly unsure of herself.
Kotori was the first to speak. " I think that it's a great idea! And a great opportunity. You should definitely go there and have f..." she was cut of by a furious looking Umi
"So your gonna abandon us huh? Money bags. Pfft and you said you would pay for the rest of my tuition fees. So much of a good friend you are. You will never be smart enough to get into this high school let alone UTX... Better luck trying me or even Kotori but you don't stand a chance in hell b***h." She stopped for a second and saw the look of horror and denial on her face before continuing her verbal assult.
"You see this is why I hate you because your so dense! I have only been your friend because you were loaded and I wanted an awful amount of things. And now Yukiho is dead and its all your fault! Oh well at least I have everything I needed from you. Now your useless... Trash! Now get out if my sight scu...!" now she would of finished that sentence had she not heard a crack and an immense amount of pain in her lower and upper jaw.
Umi fell to the side and spat out an array of blood and teeth. She looked up to see the face of Honoka who's eyes were shadowed by her hair and shaking in absolute rage before speaking in a venom filled voice. "All money and possessions bought under the Kosaka name will be removed from this girls house immediately..." she said and with a snap of her fingers 4 heavily armed men jumped out of their well chosen hiding spots and all simultaneously ran in the direction of Umi's house.
Giving Kotori a quick hug, slipping a number and a photo into her back pocket and sending a death glare at Umi she turned and ran of.
Students all around them murmured their extreme disapproval of Umi's actions. Said girl held her hand up to Kotori expecting to be helped up but she just spun on her heel and walked away getting a horrified look from the girl on the ground just now realising how much she had screwed up her life and she has no way to fix it!
She now had no friend, no expensive or modern possessions, no money and a severely damaged pride.
She stood quickly before storming off in a huff to a nearby hospital all the while never noticing the hate and malice filled glares that were constantly being burned through her head.
-With Honoka -
Honoka had tears streaming down her face by now. The betrayal was heart breaking for her... At least she hadn't managed to corrupt her dear Kotori. As she ran she didn't notice that she passed by a couple of cute middle schoolers who just so happened to recognise her.
There were three girls in total. One with dark purple hair, one with dark brown, and the final one who had light brown hair and green eyes. These girls were; Toudou Erena, Yuuki Anju and Kira Tsubasa.
Erena spoke first after a brief silence. "Wasn't that..." she trailed of. "Kosaka Honoka?!" Anju and Tsubasa finished of seconds later. After a brief nod between the girls they all dash after their crying idol.
Hiding behind a large tree they just wait to see what she was going to do.
Honoka herself was blankly staring at the sky in pure anger and sorrow. Deciding that standing here doing absolutely nothing held no purpose anymore she decided to sing instead. To Honoka singing made her feel like flying and always swept her away into bliss.
Taking a quick intake of breath she began.

Finishing the song she finally thought that she had calmed herself down... But it had the exact opposite affect. Anger flooded through her veins and she clenched her fists so hard that her nails cut her palm.
Erena, who saw this held back Tsubasa and Anju who were about to rush over and praise her singing. They both stopped and looked at her with questionable looks. She just shook her head and looked back at the distraught girl followed closely by her other two companions.
The rage Honoka was feeling was finally reaching a breaking point. She swivelled round on her heel so she was facing the tree to her left. Bringing her fist back and letting out a cry of anguish she brought her fist forward and started punching the tree continuously with both hands until the skin on her knuckles was raw, cut up and bleeding. But she didn't stop because she couldn't feel the pain and she didn't care to.
All three girls that were hiding behind the tree previously ran forward towards the bleeding girl. "Stop it your gonna hurt yourself!" Anju yelled as she wrapped her arms around Honoka's waist to stop her from moving and Erena hooked her arms under her arms to stop her from punching the tree anymore. She kept struggling though and then they found out what caused her distress. "Why should I calm down!? My only friends just abandoned me! My sister died this morning and its all my fault. WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME?! I HAVE OTHER EMOTIONS AS WELL YOU KNOW!" She screamed in pure sadness and self loathing.
She had finally stopped struggling so they let go and she dropped straight to her knees crying full on. It was just now that they noticed it was raining. All of a sudden Honoka went silent before falling unconscious from all of the mental stress.
Tsubasa being quick enough, caught her before she hit the ground. Resting her hand against her forehead she gasped before pulling her hand back and looking up at the other two. "She's burning up!" Erena thinking quickly said "Then let's take her to my house its closest." They all quickly nodded in agreement before Erena picked her up bridal style.
-Erena's House -
Anju, who had Erena's keys, quickly unlocked the door to the Toudou Residence and the three rushed indoors and up the stairs leaving a set of surprised parents in their wake.
Mr and Mrs Toudou followed the three girls up the stairs and found them surrounding the unconscious ginger haired girl.
Said girl was breathing hard and her face was red and sweaty. "Oh my... What happened to Miss Kosaka!?" Mrs Toudou said in a worried voice. Tsubasa was the one to reply.
"We're not even sure ourselves but from what we gather from what she said before is that her sister was in an accident and died earlier this morning and her friends left her because they believed it was her fault... Wait do you know her or something?" she started sadly but ended in a questionable tone.
This made Mrs Toudou smile joyfully " Oh but you know her as well don't you remember?" she said in her own questioning tone. They all shook their heads which made her sigh. She left the room and came back with a large box. Placing it down she started speaking.
"Kosaka Honoka, Heiress of the Kosaka Company businesses. Age 12, Birth Date: 17th May 2003, Last school record: Otonokozaki Middle School and..." she said turning around the picture in her hand that she had removed from the box and the girl's gasped.
The picture was of them when they were younger with a smaller version of Honoka in the middle. They all had smiles on their faces and were making the peace sign. "Your childhood friend." She finished.
