… Hello! Miyuki here! I just (actually one month + earlier) noticed that MY FICS ARE MONTHS OVERDUE! D:

Band of Princes – I think 7 months plus

Your own story – more than 3 months, less than 7 :O (BUT BUT I UPDATED IT RECENTLY :D SO YAY!)

Then (once again) in class, during the super boring lessons (I think it was during Math… ya ya correct. Math, then someone presented on the origami thing XDD), I thought of an idea for Golden Pair :D (that reminds me, another fic not completed, The ache of my heart D: but its on hiatus now … I should probably work on it n remove the hiatus D: ) SANDCASTLES ! XD (… if u ask me why, I am wondering why too o.O) oh well, enjoy the story ! :D sorry for the extra long crapping D: actually you can just skip this :D

Let's just say Oishi had a spiky spiky hairstyle (he changes it every year :O) like Inui or Momoshiro type (just very very different from his hairstyle in Year 1 ) when he was young, so he looked very different. :D

9 years ago, there was a boy who loved building sandcastles. So he was always found in the neighbourhood park's sand pit (A/N: you know the ones in the park, then got one sand pit for kids to play in? yup that type.). And that boy's name was OIshi Shuichiro.

"One two three, DONE!" Oishi (at the age of five) smiled happily after adding the finishing touches to his sandcastle. That was the 605th castle he had made since he started when he was four.

"Heh! That is cool!" another boy clapped and commented after Oishi was finished with his castle.

Oishi was surprised. 'Nobody ever comes to this park… usually I am the only one here… Has he been watching me built the whole thing?' Oishi thought to himself while staring at him.

"Hey hey! Can you teach me how to build one too?" The boy asked happily, jumping around Oishi excitedly.

"Erm okay…" Oishi was happy that he found someone interested in building sandcastles too, though he was startled at him jumping about. Nobody liked talking and playing with him, no matter how much he tried to join them.

(Flashback…)

"uh… hello, can I play with you?" Oishi asked a girl who was playing catching with her friends during break time in school.

"I… I am sorry!" The girl ran away when Oishi approached her.

"…Okay…" Oishi mumbled sadly, turning back to the sand pit.

"You should just continue building your stupid sandcastles! Sandcastles obsessed freak." A boy scolded him.

"Sandcastles obsessed freak Sandcastles obsessed freak. Run away before he spreads it to you. Sandcastles obsessed freak Sandcastles obsessed freak. It's contagious and will be a freak too." The other friends of that boy started singing along.

Oishi stared at them, his tears were running down his cheeks as he hugged his legs while the rest continued the tease him. (A/N: OMG SO SAD. D: Didn't planned it to be so sad, but as I wrote on, it became so sad D: sorry Oishi D: )

(end of flashback)

So that boy was the first one at their age who spoke to him nicely without teasing him and even wanted him to teach him how to build sandcastles.

"hey hey what's your name?" The boy asked, stuffing sand into Oishi's small pail.

"Shu…" Oishi was stammering because this was first time having such a long conversation with a boy at his age and wasn't really good with talking to someone he didn't knew that well too.

"Ah! Shu is it? Hello Shu!" The boy said happily, thinking that 'Shu' was his name.

"Eh wait… it's not…" Oishi said softly but the boy did not hear.

"My name is Eji, nice to meet you!" (A/N: Eji is not typo error, purposely typed it as Eji.)

"… nice to meet you too…" Oishi gave up trying to tell him his full name, It was hard to relay a message to someone as hyper as him. It was already a great improvement for me to be able to keep the conversation this long, right?

And that was the start of their friendship. (A/N: :D)

They met up everyday and built sandcastles.

"Hey! Let's build 1000 sandcastles okay?" Oishi asked Kikumaru when they were talking about the legend of 1000 paper cranes.

"… Hmm… okay..."

And right after the 999th sandcastle they built, Kikumaru never came again.

"Where is he?" Oishi mumbled to himself, sitting in the sandpit and staring at the entrance where Eji (A/N: not typo error again) always comes in running and shouting, "SHU! LET'S START!"

'Where is he?' Oishi thought sadly, hugging his legs.

First chapter finally done :D Review!
