The past can never be changed.
(a/n): hi minna-san!!! Ok this is my very first try at a fanfic. I've been reading them for a while and decided to give it a try for once. If it works out and you guys like it I might go into other categories etc. Oh and before I forget I am looking for a beta reader in this story so if you're interested please just email me and let me know.
Disclaimer: I own nothing!! If I did Hana would be with Vivi married and have many little kids running around his large mansion and giving him some serious hell.

Chapter 1
It was another boring day at school for Hana who was yet again away from her precious Vivi. Laying under the school yard tree she longingly gazed up at the clear sky and aimlessly watched the clouds slowly float by. A slight breeze blew her long brown hair into her face which forced her to move out of her relaxed position on the ground and remove the irritating strands out of her face. Glancing around she spotted her friend Momo who was quickly making his way to over to her. Not really wanting to be around anyone at this time but also not wanting to be rude Hana pasted on a happy smile with which to greet her friend for the past few years. Finally reaching the petite girl Momo slowed down his gait to a stop and plopped himself down by her side. The two sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes till it was broken by Momo.
" Ne, Hana...why were you all the way over here? How come you didn't meet us by our usual place on the other side of the school for lunch?" Momo glanced over to Hana with a quizzical look on his face before he continued. "Something seems to be bothering you these past few days. Is something going on at home with Vivi or you know in the demon world?" His voice had significantly dropped at that point, for the reason of not bringing any unwanted attention from passersby.
Hana remained silent for a while, looking off into the distance as she pondered the same question. Why was she all the way on the other side of the school court yard away from her friends? Why was she suddenly so withdrawn? What had caused this great change in her normally light hearted and bubbly personality? Hana herself could not answer, all she knew was that she somehow needed the time and space to sort out whatever seemed to be troubling her lately. It was almost like she knew something was going to happen in the near future but could not exactly pinpoint what it was. Realising that she had Momo there waiting for an answer she gave him the only one that she could think of that was as close to the truth that she could give.
"Hana doesn't really know either but Hana feels as if something big is about to happen and that it won't be to anyone's liking especially Vivi's. Something is about the change dramatically but Hana doesn't know what it is and it makes Hana nervous." Feeling somewhat silly about feeling scared for something that hasn't happened yet or may never even happen she grabbed at the front of her school outfit and anxiously fidgeted with it before bringing her eyes to Momo's. The boy sat there not really knowing what to say to the obviously frightened girl. 'How does one even go about comforting such a vague statement like that?' Momo pondered. He looked into Hana's searching eyes while he attempted to come up with a suitable answer. What the girl needed right now was someone to comfort her and tell her that nothing was going to happen, but with the company that the girl kept it left Momo hesitating on what to really tell the girl. Deciding that honesty was the best answer than to rather avoid the problem or sugar coat his words Momo gave his reply
"Hmmm, well I am not sure how to answer such a thing as that, but I can tell you this. If anything is to happen in the future I will always be there for you even if Vivi doesn't like what happens I will still be here" A small blush had managed to creep onto Momo's face at such a small declaration of his undying loyalty but he knew that no matter what happens in the future he would always have Hana's back. A big smile blossomed on Hana's face and her normally cheery personality quickly slid back into place which was returned by Momo. Feeling much better by knowing that her fears were not really all that silly, the petite girl stood up and stretched her limbs upwards into the sky breathing in a lungful of fresh air. Turning around to her still seated friend, with a playful smile once again gracing her delicate features Hana decided that whatever had been bothering her had been resolved for now and it was now time to enjoy the last few minutes of her lunch break.
"Ne, whoever is the last to reach the others back on the other side of the school is a rotten egg!" And with that the chocolate haired girl took off in a flurry of cloth and hair. Stunned by the unexpected challenge Momo sat there for a few seconds before his brain registered what had been said. Realising that he was going to outright lose if he didn't start running he bolted up and ran after the madly giggling girl whose fears seemed to be forgotten for the time being. Leg pumping with wildly Hana ran at break neck speed to beat her opponent to the designated finish line. She could hear Momo quickly gaining ground on her and she immediately poured on the speed. It was at times like this that her long hair was troublesome. Some of her loose strands were coming free of the braid that the maids back at home had helped her with and it was now getting in her way of sight. Momo was now neck and neck with the Hana and was keeping pace with her before he started to pull ahead and leave the hapless girl behind.
"If you want to beat me at this you're gonna have to run faster than that Hana!!" came Momo's voice as it drifted on the wind. Frustrated and starting to get out of breath Hana's pace started to slow down. Even with the slight head start she was losing but she was determined to not lose. Gritting her teeth Hana began to run with renewed vigor. Before she knew it she was catching up to the speedy boy where she kept pace with him for some time. Surprised that Hana was now neck and neck with him Momo tried to pull ahead. He knew that whenever he and Hana raced he would always outrun her but this was the first time that she had actually caught up with him. In fact he was one of the fastest boys on their school and to actually see someone keep pace with him was a real eye opener but what really shocked him was the fact that Hana was now starting to pass him! The ebony haired boy's eyes grew to the size of saucer as he watched Hana speed past him hair whipping wildly behind her. Blinking rapidly he could've sworn he had seen feathers float off her and away from her. Squeezing his eyes shut and then quickly re-opening them he noticed that noting of the sort was present and wrote it off that some dust particles probably got into his eyes or the light was playing tricks with his eyes. Whatever it was it was no longer in sight.
Hana couldn't believe that she had somehow managed to outrun Momo and was elated at the fact. She could see the rest of her friends sitting under the shade of a tree and gave one last burst of speed before she came to and abrupt halt in front of them, kicking up quite a bit of dust in the process. Momo soon finished a few seconds after and stood there trying to catch his breath.
"What was all that about?" asked on the friends on the ground. Spinning around to answer the question Hana answered.
"Momo and Hana were racing and Hana managed to win!!" Beaming from ear to ear no one couldn't say that the girl wasn't proud for actually beating Momo for the first time. The others were in fact quite stunned by the fact that Hana managed to defeat the fastest boy in the school. In addition to this they also knew that Hana wasn't the fastest runner in the bunch and were very amazed that she pulled off such a feat. A pregnant paused had developed as the question that wanted to be asked was finally voiced by the rather rotund boy who was holding a sandwich in his hand.
"How on earth did that happen?" Heads nodded in agreement and all eyes were averted to the boy in question. Momo who was also at a loss at how the girl had beaten him answered with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Beats me but I guess it was just her lucky day." Deciding that that was a sufficient answer for now the topic was dropped as a new one took its place.
"So Momo..." drawled the boy with the shoulder length hair a sly look on his face.
"It's Tanizaki!!" bellowed the embarrassed boy interrupting his friend.
"Yeah yeah, whatever Momo." Momo grumbled under his breath about annoying friends and needing to find new ones. The boy with the shoulder length hair snickered at his irate friend before he continued with what he had intended to say.
"So Momo how does it feel to lose to a girl? I mean aren't you supposed to be the fastest runner in the school? And you got beaten by a girl? What are people gonna think about that when they hear this huh?" Smirking evilly the boy watched as all the colour drained away from Momo's face. Hana watched the interaction and smiled at Momo's response to the minor threat. Momo sputtered a bit not knowing what to say or how to react to such a threat. Cackling at the desired effect the boy keeled over laughing heartily at his friend's expense while the others joined in. Flustered Momo gave him a hard smack at the back of his head for saying such a thing, and glared at the rest of the group for also laughing at him. Once the laughter had died down the group resumed their previous conversations and the relaxed air had once again returned to the small group of school friends. Momo observed Hana talk and interact with the others. No one would have known that the girl was previously afraid and anxious about something just a few minutes before. His mind also began to drift off to race and how she had beaten him. Maybe the thing he had seen wasn't really his imagination or something in his eyes. Maybe he really did see feathers float off Hana, but it just didn't seem plausible. If something was different about Hana wouldn't have Vivi or Felten have picked up on it when she was a baby? Momo continued to study Hana as if by just watching her he would be able to figure out the missing piece to the puzzle. But then again maybe he was just over thinking it. People have off day's right? Maybe he just wasn't up to snuff today. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts Momo dismissed the mini debate going on inside his head, to instead enjoy the few second he had left of his lunch before heading back into Math class, which he sorely hated like most of his classes. Momo brought his attention back into the conversation that was taking place and was about to voice his opinion when the bell for the end of lunch pierced the noisy school yard. The group groaned as they packed up their belongings and started to head back into class. Hana was already walking back to class as she had already eaten her lunch and packed it away before Momo had came to find her by the tree. Deciding that he at least wanted to ask Hana how she had beaten him Momo sped up to talk to her.
"Hey Hana, how did you managed to beat me? I mean we were tied and then you sped off? How did you do that?" Hana placed a finger to her lips and glanced up to the sky in contemplation.
"Ano...Hana doesn't really know how either. All Hana knows was that she wanted to catch up to Momo and then after that it felt like Hana started to gain speed almost like Hana was flying" Not knowing if that was a sufficient answer Hana turned her gaze towards the boy walking beside her and tried to gauge his reaction. Nodding in understanding Momo smiled.
"Really? Well maybe all the speed you somehow obtained made you feel like you were flying." Momo offered.
"Maybe but it was the best feeling in the world! Maybe Hana should run some more to get it again?" she gushed.
"Haha well if that's what you want, why not?" Hana smiled in return and Momo once again blushed at the girl's brilliant smile.
"Hey you guys should hurry up if you don't want get detention for being late!" yelled the boy who was harassing Momo earlier.
"Ok we're coming! We're coming!" yelled Momo as both he and Hana briskly walked back into the school's halls to resume their lessons for the afternoon.
(a/n): Ok and that's all for now. I know Hana was a bit OOC in the beginning but it was to really set the mood.
