Hello and welcome to my very first attempt at fan-fiction. Written by yours truly, Renzie :D Watch me stumble and make many errors along the way until the very end x3 In case you're wondering, The title "A Walk in the Park"has absolutely nothing to do with the story.
I think Takuto and Mitsuki's characters are a bit different - Takuto being more like the devil and Mitsuki being less of an angel nn; I guess overall they're still pretty likeable, so for the sake of the story, please bear with it x3 Plus, time changes stuff.

"Meroko! You'd better be up!"
A slender, dark haired girl shouted her friend's name from the gate. Age sixteen would be about right, but perhaps younger judging by her tender appearance. Ringing the family doorbell for the fifth time, she wondered if maybe her friend was alone.
"Meroko!"
She placed her hands on her hips, letting out a sigh of reluctancy.
"Huu..I'm so tired of this."
The girl climbed over the massive stone wall, running into the extravagant house.
"Ah, Meroko!?"She stopped at a large room, the sliding door covered with do not disturb signs.
"Get up Meroko! We're going to be late! Again!" Mitsuki dragged a sleepy looking girl out of bed, pink buttons from her jammies messily caught in her hair.
"Ne, Mitsuki. Just five more hours. Just..five more." The pink haired girl snuggled deep within her sleep, letting no one get between her and her pillow.
"Meroko!"
They were an odd pair, those two.
Meroko Yui. A childish teen who managed to get Mitsuki in and out of trouble. Most of the time she was getting her companion into trouble rather than out of it. But even so, the two remained the best of friends.
Mitsuki, on the other hand, was the victim of Meroko's crimes. But no matter how troublesome it was, Mitsuki knew her friend had good intentions. She couldn't deny that, although daring and adventurous, Meroko was a necessity in her life.
After a good, solid twenty minutes, Mitsuki had managed to get Meroko into her school uniform, her teeth brushed, slippers on, and her hair halfway combed.
"Ouch! Too many tangles. Hold on while I get the--"
"No time! Hurry, Meroko!"
Mitsuki quickly grabbed her friend's hand, dragging her all the way to school.
----------
"Oi, Mitsuki. We're not that late." Meroko yawned sleepily, her arm still being clutched to by Mitsuki.
"Shh. You're always late enough for the both of us. Besides, the quieter we are, the less chores we'll have."
It turned out they didn't need to be quiet, since a massive amount of people began to shout in the unorderly classroom. Even though it was a large class, Mitsuki knew something had to be going on. Why else would countless people be cluttered around a single desk?
"Takuto!" "Where do you live?" "Can I visit you?" "What do you think of the school?" "What clubs are you joining?!"
Hidden inside the mob of people, a dark haired guy sat in his desk - staring outside the window. He seemed irritated, resorting to the window as his last choice.
A rather brazen girl even invited herself to sit on his lap - smiling up at the annoyed student. And then worse, they began to pry into his private life.
"Takuto, do you have a girlfriend?" "What about me? I'd make a-." The non-stop gossip combined with the shouting echoes made it unable to hear a word, the crammed transfer student quickly ticking to his limit.
"Takuto!" One of the girls pulled back on his thin pony tail, mouthing something that was unable to be heard in the crowd. He yanked back into his desk, murmuring a single word.
"..annoying.."
The crowd only increased as the girl on his lap laughed obnoxiously.
"You're annoying!"
He stood up abruptly,banging his hand on the table.Walking away, he left a stunned audience watching his back.
"I don't blame him. He's getting absolutely pumbled by the crowd," Meroko whispered, leaning over to Mitsuki. But instead of nodding along side her friend, Mitsuki had her gaze subconciously glued to the object of attention. He suddenly turned around as they made eye contact for a short moment. She paled nervously, hoping not to get on his bad side.
The 1:00 chime sounded, and the rest of the class quickly packed up their books.
The rest of the day scurried by rather quickly, although Mitsuki and Meroko were called into the office for their abundance of tardies.
"Hey, Mitsuki. You have chores for being late, right?"asked Meroko. "Geez. They won't even let us be in the same room!"
"Ehehe, well. I guess that's just how school discipline works. Later, Meroko!"
The two said their goodbyes as a door swung shut - leaving Mitsuki all alone with no one but herself. She sighed, picking up the broom. How did things turn out this way? (Oh right. When Meroko overslept)
Kimi wo suki ni natte Yuki no youni--

"What are you doing?" A voice came from behind her, a shocked Mitsuki jumping to an invisible touch.
"N-Nothing! Really!" Great. Takuto. Just who she needed to catch her singing.
He blinked, puzzled. "Oh really? But you were singing just--"
"It's nothing!" The dark haired girl clenched her fist, holding it up to her heart. He had come in so quietly she hadn't noticed at all. She couldn't reveal her true voice to anyone. And especially not someone like him.
Takuto stared as the wavering Mitsuki continued to sweep the floor. He had just come to pick up his books, but discovered something more interesting along the way.
"It's a pity."
She glanced up at him, a blank face watching. "Eh? What is?"
"Nothing, Nothing. Well, that floor isn't getting any cleaner. You better hurry up!" He laughed at the Cinderella-like Mitsuki who seemed to be grumbling angrily.
She shouldn't had let her guard down.
After sweeping the entire classroom and cleaning the chalk board erasers, Mitsuki glanced at the clock. She smiled with glee, picking her bags up at the 4:00 chime. Hoping Obaa-chan wouldn't be mad, the hurried sixteen year old ran out the door.
----------
Mitsuki slowly paced down the streets, reading a lengthy piece of paper. She began to mouth the words, but stopped when someone had snagged the paper out of her hands. That trouble maker, Kira Takuto.
"So it wasn't nothing." He grinned, scanning the application with a smile. "Eh? November 9th - that's soon! Alright!"
Mitsuki frowned. Takuto's teasing was making her feel worse than it should've. It was as if he had just snatched away the only hope she had left. Noticing the face that she put on, he handed her back the paper.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to go so far. I just wanted to tease you a little bit."
Mitsuki took the auditioning form from his hands, glancing down at the criteria. She thought it was a little more than teasing, but wouldn't let it get to her. Singing was something that was very important to Mitsuki. That might've been why she was so scared of letting anyone see her true talents.
"So. What are you going to sing?"
Mitsuki paused, glancing up at him. "Sing what?"
"At the audition, of course."
Mitsuki knew exactly what she was going to sing. The song she had been singing in the classroom, and the one that meant the most to her - Eternal Snow.
He looked expectant for an answer, but Mitsuki stumbled for words.
"Sing it for me."He smiled, an expression that any girl would be crazy to refuse.
"Na--!?" She didn't know Takuto knew how to smile. Sincerely that was.
"You can't be that bad," he said, as if that were supposed to boost her self confidence.
"Fine. Alright." Since he had already caught her singing, it didn't matter much if he heard it again. Right? Plus, she had that dying urge to prove him wrong.
Yuki no youni
Tada shizukani
Furi tsumori Tsudzukete yuku
Hold me tight
Konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku Nakatta yo
I love you
Namida tomaranai
Konnan ja Kimi no koto
Shirazuni ireba Yokatta yo
Mitsuki took a deep breath, a feeling of being free fluttering through her hair.
"You're really quite talented. It's a good thing you're auditioning." Takuto nodded, a smile on his face.
A flustered Mitsuki nodded her head.
"I mean, really. I didn't think such a powerful voice could come from such a tiny body."
She blushed angrily. "Na-?! What did you say?"
"Ah - Nothing, nothing. Here's my stop!" The chuckling Takuto walked across the street, still humming the tune of Mitsuki's song.
Meanwhile our heroine mumbles to herself, wondering how she ever thought he had a good side.
