Okay well to my readers, who probably thought two things of me, one I may have given up on my stories, yes stories as in plural I am very behind. And opinion two I died, which is very untrue. The reason I have been so behind is because my only resource of a computer is my dad's laptop. He was away for about three weeks on a long business trip, yeah this sort of thing happens so much now I tend to forget if I have a dad but now I have a laptop again, YES! So this is a more updated version, it will make more sense, I hope, so I'm sorry again and please review if you like but mainly enjoy the story, I'm all for constructive criticism. Right on with the story…

"Hatori you have to stop pissing off Mayuko." Shigure said to Hatori. "I can't help it it's like a reflex." "Hatori, I'm serious. She gets really upset when you tease her about the past. She's had a bad past like you did so just stop it. When you guys were in high school you were crazy about each other and then one thing happened and you stopped talking to each other." "Yeah well it was something big. And you're not the one to talk Mr 'I have an illegitimate child.'" "Shut up. I think we all have to just re think about what we were like in high school." "Yeah, well I'm going home." "Remember to think." Shigure said as Hatori was walking out the door, heading to his apartment.

When Hatori got home he sat down and began to actually think about his days in high school. He remembered it so well, for the first day to the graduation day when everyone left. Shigure was doing the same thing, as well as Ayame, Mine, Kazuma and Mayuko. They were all thinking about their high school days, beginning with their first day. Hatori walked over to his desk and pulled open the bottom draw and pulled out an old wooden box which contained photos from when he was in high school, when he was a child, work etc. He sat down back on his couch and looked at the photos; he dug around and found what he was looking for.

It was a group photo of him with Mayuko, Kazuma, Shigure, Ayame, Mine and his two old high school friends who he lost touch with, their named were Kyoko and Iris. God they all looked different, they all looked so young and happy, funny to look at himself wearing his old school uniform along with everyone else for that matter. Down town Mayuko was sitting in her own apartment looking at old photos too. She just wanted to laugh and cry at her old memories their but there was one memory that she just hit her then and there.

The summer of 1985, freshman year (Sunday):

Mayuko got out of her mother's car and got her suitcase out of the boot of the car and was about to head out of sight of her mother until, "Mayuko give me a hug before you go." Mayuko groaned in annoyance. "Mom it's not like I'm moving away forever." "Yes well you're going to a boarding school for so long. My only daughter is moving away at fifteen years old, why?" Her mother began to sob and Mayuko hugged her mom in comfort. "Come on mom I'll be home for holidays like Christmas." "But its January, Christmas is months away." Her mother hugged her tightly around her waist. "Hey, let your father give you a hug too." Mayuko untangled herself from her mother's deadly hug and Mayuko's father hugged Mayu gently and she headed off towards the school after saying her goodbyes to her parents. She walked through the door and went to the office, when she went in she saw a tall young man standing there waiting for the woman at the office to come out.

She walked up to the same place he was and just stood still. She shot him a quick glance at him, he was tall, as tall as her and that's saying something because she was tall for her age. He had jet black hair and the lightest blue eyes she had ever seen. He shot her a quick glance and he was amazed at how different she looked compared to the other girls he'd seen, 'She must be American', he thought. She had thick- long- light blond hair and dark brown eyes. She had creamy skin and she was tall, just a little shorter than him by like a few centimetres. They both looked at each other and smiled, "Hi," Mayuko said. "Hello," the man said. "I'm Mayuko." "I'm Hatori." "Are you new here?" "Yeah but I'm a first year here and I'm guessing you are too." "Oh right yeah. Well you in class one or two." "I'm in class one, you?" "Same here, class one coincidence right." He smiled at her and then the woman came in and asked what they were looking for. They were looking for their room numbers, "Right well you young lady are on the 2nd floor of the far building in room 220, and you young man are on the 2nd floor on the right side of the hallway room 214." With that the woman left and the two teens looked at each other and smiling sheepishly at one another. "We're on the same floor too. This really is a coincidence." Hatori said smiling at her, "Yeah. But I would have never guessed they would've put boys and girls on the same floor." They both walked to the building talking about a few things like what they were studying and people they knew who were at the school etc.

When they made it to the building and the floor they were on they said 'I'll see you later'. Mayuko went to the farther end of the hallway and looked back at Hatori and he did the same to her and they smiled at each other before going in to their rooms. When Hatori went in he saw a young man in there, "Hey I'm Shigure I'm your new roommate." "Obviously and I'm Hatori nice to meet you." They shook hands and went to their unpacking. Meanwhile Mayuko was meeting her roommate, her name was Iris and she was a beautiful dark red headed girl. Same age, same height, same class even, Mayuko was excited for tomorrow's lessons. Mainly because she wanted to see Hatori again, Hatori wanted to see Mayuko too. Tomorrow was going to be good.
