Chapter 1: The Beginning
It has been 23 years since the events with Easter ended. Since then Ikuto Tsukiyomi left to travel Europe as a violinist and the original guardians disbanded and moved on. Eventually in time as they grew older, they no longer needed their charas (in a good way). The guardians went on to get married and have children. The story now begins as a sixteen year old girl named Hime exits the plane that just arrived in Japan.
Hime's P.O.V:
I looked around curiously, searching for my grandparents that had agreed to meet me here. I had never really spent much time with them before, except for a brief period when I was younger. So it was hard to remember their faces. Luckily, my mom had given me a picture to use. I looked from the picture to the crowd and back numerous times, hoping to find them. I then heard my name being called, "Hime, this way. Over here." I looked to see a gentle looking older women waving gently in my direction. I walked to her, recognizing her from the picture.
I slipped the photo into my bag as I made my way to her. She embraced me as I reached her, "It's so wonderful to see you." I hugged her back, a bit awkwardly, "It's nice to see you too." I gave my best smile, but I was quite nervous and my shyness was easily taking over. She gently pushed me away to get a good look at me. "You resemble your mother so much. Though, you seem to have your father's eye color." I nodded shyly. "Well, let's get home shall we? Your grandfather is so eager to see you. Plus we have to prepare you for school."
-(Several Days Later)
Class 2-C of Seiyo Academy H.S. - P.O.V:
The class was filled with conversation as always, with the most popular guy in school/ school president at the center of it all. Towards the front of the class sat the vice president and in the very back corner sat another member of school council. Each member of the school council holds a seat name, mirroring that of the original Seiyo Academy for elementary students. The president being the King, the vice-president currently held the Queen seat, and the third mentioned held the Jack seat. The Queen sat to the front, being class-rep as well, preparing papers and studying. The Jack sat with his head in his arms fast asleep, in hopes of avoiding conversation with other students.
As the homeroom teacher entered the room, the class quieted and people returned to their seats. Ms. Yushino smiled, "Okay class, I have something very special to announce today." The class looked at one another, wondering what could be going on. Once they calmed down she continued, "We have a new student joining us today." The class immediately went into an uproar. The male students began yelling out things like "Is it a girl?!" "Is she cute?" And the girls began to excitedly giggling to one another, hoping for a cute boy. Ms. Yushino slammed her hands down onto her desk, "Quiet down, quiet down!" All the students stopped their chatter. During the excitement though, three individuals had kept to themselves. The King had simply crossed his arms and smirked with a raised eyebrow, interested in what was to come. The Queen merely adjusted her glasses, already aware of this new student. She always seemed to know everything. The Jack though just shifted in his sleep, slightly disturbed by all of the ruckus.
With the class calmed down now, Ms. Yushino cleared her throat. "Allow me to introduce Ms. Hime Tsukiyomi." The boys eagerly looked to the door to see the possible cutie that awaited them. The girls sighed in disappointed, they had hoped for a guy. But they too looked curiously the door. Even the King looked, interested in the name Hime Tsukiyomi. The door opened and a petite girl walked through. She had light pink hair that flowed in gentle waves down her back and deep blue eyes. The boys immediately went into a frenzy, finding her to be absolutely adorable. The girls became a bit jealous at the boys' reactions. The King gave another smirk, finding her to be quite adorable as well. The girl walked nervously to the front of the class with a light blush on her face. Her blushing only caused the boys to go even crazier. She stood there nervously, avoiding eye contact. Ms. Yushino smiled and gently put her hand on the girl's shoulder. "Go ahead, introduce yourself."
Hime's P.O.V:
I nodded and looked up to the class with large, deep blue eyes and found myself unable to speak due to my shyness. I simply looked with fear at the class. I watched as they began to murmur, curious as to why I was so silent. Suddenly a voice appeared, "Don't worry, I can help you." I knew that voice and knew what was about to come. I suddenly felt myself character change and began to speak against my will.
Class 2-C's P.O.V:
She then smiled cheerfully, "Good morning! My name is Hime Tsukiyomi, it's nice to meet all of you." She then bowed, "Please take care of me!" She gave another bright smile. The guys found her voice angelic and went into another uproar at her sudden brightness. Even the girls couldn't help but find her adorable. Upon speaking the Jack lifted his head slightly so one eye peeked out from behind his disheveled black hair, curious of the sudden change in the air. He then returned to his initial position, knowing what would be discussed at the meeting this afternoon. The King smiled happily, obviously planning something. And the Queen simply adjusted her glasses, not surprised by the sudden change in character.
Hime's P.O.V:
I soon felt my shyness return and looked down in order to hide my blushing face. Ms. Yushino pointed towards the back, "Please take the open seat in front of Mr. Kage." I nodded as the teacher directed me to a seat and rushed down the row. I sat down in front of a boy with black hair who appeared to be sleeping. It made me feel better that he was asleep. This meant that, unlike the rest of the class, his eyes weren't on me. I felt more at ease, though I was still very nervous. I pulled out my things and kept my head down, trying to avoid eye contact with others as homeroom continued. I couldn't believe that had happened. I would definitely have to scold her later for doing that. How embarrassing!
Classes continued and soon the school day had ended. Most of the school was talking about the new student Hime Tsukiyomi, who already seemed to be very popular. Especially among the boys. Though, unknown to her, a certain person had kept an eye on her curiously. This was the Ace of the student council. After school, the student council had a meeting.
The King smiled widely, "So it's agreed, we've finally found our final member." The Queen shifted her glasses in agreement, knowing all along somehow. The Jack simply crossed his arms and let out a small grunt. The Ace smiled excitedly, "I can't wait! Finally another girl! Perhaps I can dress this one up." She grinned before glared at the Queen, obviously harboring feelings of disappointment. The Queen merely ignored her. The meeting soon ended, everyone knowing the plan and they each went their separate ways home.
