CHAPTER ONE: A Pleasant Visit
(Walking to School)
One fine morning, Ayu Tateishi was walking to school with her mind all set to learn something new. Just then she heard a loud voice,
"AYU-CHAN!!! AYU-CHAN!!!"
It was her best friend Nina Sakura calling her. Ayu greeted her good morning.
"Ohayou! Nina… ah… ano… what happened to you? Why do you look so pale?"
"Ah… I stayed up late last night..."
"Why? We don't have any tests today, do we? Hmm… Did you stay up late because of reading too much comics? "
"No, Ayu-chan! I studied my papa's magic spell book... My grandpa is always pressuring me and he said that I should study. I have no choice but to do what he says, or else..."
"Oh, it's just one of those weird things magicians do… It must be really hard living your life... Forget the fact that I even asked…"
"…Ayu-chan, hayakuu!! We'll be late for class! The headmaster is closing the gate!"
"Ahh!! You're right! Let's go, Nina!"
(At school)
"Yo! Tateishi! Sakura!"
Ayu and Nina looked behind and saw Kaji and Tsujiai walking towards them.
"Kaji-kun! Tsujiai-kun!"
"Sakura, you look so pale, what happened to you?" Tsujiai asked.
"Yeah, are you sick or something?" Kaji added.
"Ahh… no… it's not that, it's just… uhh…"
Nina looked around and both Kaji and Tsujiai seemed more curious… Nina didn't know what to say next; she couldn't tell them about studying magic.
Ayu looked at Nina's worried face and made up a good excuse,
"A COLD! Yes, Nina has cold… and she's pale because she couldn't sleep last night because of her cold."
Both Kaji and Tsujiai looked at each other and said,
"Well then, hope you get well soon, Sakura."
"Heehee… Arigato Kaji-kun, Tsujiai-kun!"
When Kaji and Tsujiai walked away, Nina thanked Ayu for helping her keep her secret.
Ayu said its no problem and she's just glad that she could help her in some way.
(Class time)
Mikami-sensei was lecturing the lesson and everybody was listening attentively. Ayu was copying notes into her notebook and Nina was trying to stop herself from falling asleep.
Nina yawned a couple of times and then she fell asleep. Ayu saw her and she tried her best to wake her up. Nina was sleeping soundly and so she couldn't hear her best friend's voice. The teacher then walked around the room to check if the students were listening. He then reached the last row and spotted the snoozing girl.
"Sakura? Oi, Sakura?"
Nina couldn't hear anything; she was fast asleep. Mikami sensei was getting aggravated, but Ayu made up a good excuse for the second time to cover up for Nina.
"Ano, sensei... Nina is kinda sick today; she just forced herself to attend school. Please don't get mad at her..."
Being a kind-hearted teacher, Mikami sensei understood the situation and told Ayu to accompany her to the health clinic. So Ayu took Nina there.
Tamura-sensei, the school nurse, took care of Nina. She let her sleep for a while in a soft and comfortable bed.
(Break Time)
Nina was still in the clinic, sleeping. So Ayu was alone walking along the hall. While she was walking, she heard someone calling her. When she looked over her shoulder to see who it was, but saw nobody. She was getting goose bumps at that time, but she stayed calm and cool thinking that it was just the wind. Then suddenly a strange guy appeared in front of her. Ayu was shocked.
"Yo!" the person greeted.
"AHH!! Don't scare me like that! Who are you anyway?! Ahh... are you from the Magic Kingdom? You just appeared all of a sudden! If you're looking for Nina, she's in the clinic, resting."
"Take it easy Ayu. I came here for you, not Nina..."
"Huh? How do you know my name? Wait a minute; you look familiar... Have we seen each other somewhere?"
"Oh, Ayu! You totally forgot about me huh... Let me introduce myself again... My name is Yuta Kirishima. You remember?"
"Hmm… Kirishima… Yuta! Ah! I remember... we used to play together when we were kids in the Magic Kingdom... It has been so long!"
To be continued...
Note: Surprisingly, Ayu is also from the Magic Kingdom and yes, Yuta is also her childhood friend. As I've said, I changed some things from the real story of UM. This is a fanfic afterall, so I could twist the story in any way I want. Hope you guys enjoyed this very short introduction chapter, and please write a review…
