Full summary: You are going to Kyoto, Japan to meet the head of the Hinamori clan. Kyoto has the best universities that you could ever dream of and you seek a better education as well as freedom from your immediate family. But not only that! You're on the journey to become more than a simple housewife like the many generations of Hinamori women before you. Upon arrival, you meet four young men who assist you on the to the Main House. Once you arrive at the main house, you uncle, Tsukasa the head of the family, informs you that he has agreed to enroll you in the best university at Kyoto. The downside? It's an all boys school that just started to allow girls to attend in. But that's not all, to have your uncle continue to fund your new costly education, he would like you to help one of his four younger companions who happen to be the four young men you met before!

Introduction: Welcome to The Academy, Amu

I am flying into Kyoto, Japan from my home town in Nemuro. Today, on request from the head of the family, I will be reporting to the head of the family. Being apart from the main house means that I've never met the head of our family. My heart was beating frantically in excitement. I would be able to live alone and attend a good university! But that would all be decided by the head. Man, I wonder what he's like? He's related to Daddy and maybe he'll be warm and kind. But what if he tries to marry me off? According to Dad, the head owned a large estate that most of our family lived on. He told me, I had a butt load of cousins and relatives I never got to meet. We were the only relatives that had decided to move out. Which must have been a commotion in the Hinamori clan. No one was waiting for me at the airport which was fine, but made finding the estate that much harder. I asked random people for directions and was finally directed to a railway that would take me straight to the estate I seemed to be after. I only had one suitcase and large purse with me, so I didn't take much space. But I didn't get a seat, which was fine, but my stuff kept rolling all over the place. I felt embarrassed as many strangers were casting judging looks my way.

"Jeez.." A young man in front of me groaned. "Here, just sit here and put your stuff here."

"T-Thank you!" I told the stranger.

"No problem." We switched positions and I looked up at him as I sat down.

"What is it?"

"Thank you."

"You said that already." He smirked and got into a better standing position.

My face flushed, "Right."

"Weirdo." He put back on his headphones and smoothed out his navy blue hair.

This stranger was really cute. My stop finally came and incidentally, the stranger and I had the same stop.

"Do you need help?" He asked, noticing I had trouble with my suitcase.

"No, I'm fine, thank you."

"Where are you heading?"

"To an estate a little past Kyoto."

"Hmm..sounds close to where I'm heading."

"That's cool."

"Where are you from, stranger?" This stranger didn't use a nice none of voice, but it wasn't mean either.

"I'm from Nemuro."

"You're from Hokkaido?" He asked astonished.

"Yeah, I've been summoned by the main house."

"Wow." At least I earned an impressed look from him.

"Yeah, for all I know, I'm being married off, though." I said sarcastically.

"Married off, hm?"

"Are you being married off?" I asked seeing his perplexed expression.

"I might as well be."

"Oh.."

"Well, this is where we part, I guess." He said suddenly looking towards an apartment building.

"Yeah, nice talking to you."

"Yeah, you too!"

After the stranger left, I found a taxi and was well on my way to the estate. I shared the taxi part way with a handsome boy young man. He had a somewhat girlish face, but had a kind aura to him. We chatted for about two minutes until he had arrived at his destination. How odd. Once I left the taxi, I walked through a busy part of town trying to track down a bar my father said a friend lived.

"Oi!" A voice called out suddenly.

"I turned around to see an orange haired guy calling out to me.

"Yes?"

"Are you a Hinamori?"

"Y-Yes, why?"

"I see the family resemblance." He smiled at me and took my hand. "You must be looking for the estate!"

"Yeah, I'm pretty much lost." I laughed nervously.

"No sweat, we'll stop by Aruto's bar and then head to the estate!"

"That's where I was heading!" I felt so relieved. "You're a life saver."

"No problem, my name's Souma Kukai."

"Hinamori Amu."

"Amu?" He looked stunned, but kept walking.

"Yeah!"

"Well, ain't that something?" He mumbled to himself.

In no time we were at the bar and I was introduced to Aruto.

"How's your father, Amu?"

"He's good. Same old, same old."

"That must be tiring!" Auto laughed lightly.

"Yeah.."

"You look tired." Kukai commented.

"Well, yeah!" Aruto scoffed. "She came from Nemuro!"

"Whoa! All the way from Hokkaido!"

"Yeah," I laughed. "That trip was much too long."

"What brings you here?"

"My parents are sending me to the main house to have my fate decided."

"You're going to see Tsukasa-sama?"

"Yes."

"Good luck!"

"Thank you!"

After more talking, I finally was given simple directions to the estate.

"Good luck, Hinamori!"

"Thanks, Souma-kun!"

"No problem." He waved. "Hope to see you soon."

"Yeah!"

The town was almost empty when I left and almost no one was walking outside. I felt that I was being trailed and was proven correct as I was grabbed from behind.

"Give me your money!" A gruff voice commanded.

"Someone help!" I yelled.

"Shut up!" He covered my mouth as I screamed some more.

"What are you doing?" A young man with long hair asked.

"Stay out of this!"

I pleaded with this new stranger to help me through my eyes. To my relief, the stranger helped and beat the crap out of the criminal who tried to take my money.

"A young woman shouldn't walk alone at night." The stranger said nicely.

"Thank you so much." I bowed to him.

"No need to be so formal." He smiled. "But you're welcome."

"I was so scared.."

"Where are you heading?" He asked, noticing my luggage.

"To my family's estate."

"Well, at least let me walk you there."

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble.." I felt embarrassed for inquiring on a stranger.

"No, no. It's fine."

"Thank you."

We walked in silence, but this silence was actually comforting.

"Well, I believe this is the place." I said reading the street signs.

"You live at the Hinamori estate?" He asked in amazement.

"Y-Yes? I didn't know my family was so popular!" I became flustered.

"Yes, well I'm sure we'll meet again."

"Thank you so much for walking me here."

"No problem."

I watched him leave before I proceeded through the gates. The gates to the estate were ten feet tall and were attached to a sturdy brick wall. There was four maids waiting outside for me to arrive and immediately relieved me of my luggage.

"T-Thank you!"

"Anything you need, Mistress Amu." A young maid with red colored hair replied.

"Are you hungry desu?" Another maid asked, but she had light green hair.

"No, I'm fine."

"I'll lead you to Master Tsukasa." Another maid declared, this one had pretty blue hair.

"Thank you."

In moments I was walked through the large old fashioned mansion and was led to a wide room. The room was illuminated by a light on the ceiling covered by a paper lantern. I kneeled properly at the tea table and listened as the door slide open once more.

"You must be Miss Amu." A kind voice said.

"Y-yes."

"I'm pleased to finally meet you, my brother has told me a lot about you."

"You're Tsukasa-ouijisan?"

"Yes, nice to meet you." He smiled warmly at me.

It reminded me of my father.

"No, thank you for letting me come here."

"Shall we get down to business?" Tsukasa asked.

"Y-Yes." I studied him for a moment.

He looked strong in character with red straight forward eyes, they were sharp and pierced my gaze. Tsukasa reminded me of the stranger I rode the taxi with and even had the same hairstyle as him. After a long period of silence, he spoke once more.

"After a lot of thinking, I have decided to enroll you in the best university in Japan."

"R-Really?"

"Yes. Now there's a few ups and downs to it, of course."

"I wouldn't expect anything less." I said confidently.

"This university used to be an all boy university, but recently they've had a change of heart and have started to allow girls attend as well."

"So I'll be one of the few girls starting to enroll."

"Right, but thankfully because I'm friends with the headmaster, your application was approved right away."

"Thank you so much!"

"It's my pleasure to help a relative."

"I'm sure I'll have to work in return-"

"That is not necessary. Instead I would like you to help one of my friends."

"What could I do for them?" I asked puzzled.

"That will decided soon enough. But for now, get some rest in the small house in the back. That belonged to your family so it is yours to use."

I bowed to the ground before him, "Thank you for your generosity!"

"Anything for my niece."

From there, I was dismissed by Tsukasa and escorted to a small traditional house located in the vast yard. It had a small fence around it and had a tiny pond filled with koi fish by the entrance. The house looked well kept and clean. The four maids that greeted me when I first arrived were waiting for me inside. They each bowed before me and introduced themselves.

"I'm Ran, I am your lady in waiting." The young girl with red colored introduced herself.

"I'm Suu, I'll be handling your laundry and cooking." The green haired girl curtsied before me.

"I'm Miki, I'll be your personal clothes maker. I served your father before he left." The blue haired girl said sweetly.

"I'm Dia, I'm your other lady in waiting."

"W-wow, I didn't know I would be getting personal maids." I felt disrespectful for referring to them as maids.

"Don't be silly, Amu-sama." Ran said.

"We live to serve the Hinamori clan." Miki said matter of factly.

"Yes, we do." Dia smiled at me.

"I'm sure we're all going to be great friends desu!" Suu added.

"Yes, friends." I said smiling.

When I was shown my room, I found a queen sized bed already prepped for my arrival. My pjs were already set on the bed and all my clothes were already unpacked. It was unbelievable, I felt like a princess. When I inspected my closet I found three sets of school uniforms, two for summer, two for winter, and one for special ceremonies.

"Wow.."

"I suggest you get some sleep desu." Suu said gently setting tea on a desk I didn't notice.

"R-Right." I felt flustered all over again. "Thank you."

What will my new life be like now?

…..

The next morning, I woke up early so I could call my parents before they left for work. I told them that everything was fine and not to worry. Though that was impossible for father to do, I could hear him bawling on the phone. Ami was well off for herself and Mom was keeping the house together.I sighed, she had nothing else to do but stay at home. She refused to get a job and insisted on waiting on Ami and I.

"How is Midori-chan?" Ran asked.

"Yes, how is Nee-chan?" Dia asked.

"Nee-chan?" I asked confused.

"You didn't know?" Suu asks.

"Hmm, well she doesn't know much of anything about the Hinamori clan." Dia says.

"Then let's tell her." Miki said defiantly.

"Your mother is like our big sister. She was a maid like us, but married your father."

"Whoa." That was a whole new twist.

"No one in the Hinamori clan approved.." Suu says apologetically.

"Yeah, so those two left.." Miki adds.

"But news came that you and Ami were born…" Dia started to smile.

"And that You would come back to the main house!" Suu was back to her hopeful self.

"Amu-sama, you will be going for a tour of the university today.."

"But it's Saturday..?"

"The university is a boarding school so of course students will still be on campus."

"Oh.."

"So you should change into your uniform."

"Right."

After that monotone conversation with Miki, I changed into the summer uniform. It surprised me that there actually was one to begin with since the majority of the universities I heard of never required a school uniform. I glanced at myself in the full length mirror and sized up the uniform. It was your typical short sleeve sailor girl suit uniform with the school colors giving it a little originality. The skirt was a dark crimson red with black lines outlining even squares. The collar of the sailor suit was the same thing and the ribbon that came along with it was black. Otherwise it was all white. The outfit looked fine on me, but I wish it looked just a bit cuter.

"Are you ready to go?" Dia asked.

"Yep."

My uncle had arranged for me to have my own driver and in a short half hour I arrived at my future university. A sizable amount of students still lingered on campus, but I bet the majority was at home with their family or out for the weekend. The driver dispatched the office and I was soon informed that I would be having a student tour guide for the day. The principal, MIss Sanjo, came looking very intimidating. In tow, she had four young men following her. To my surprise, all four men were people who had helped me on my first day in Kyoto.

"Hinamori!" Kukai exclaimed.

"Hey Kukai!" I said, a little relieved I knew at least one person's name.

"Oh good, you know one of them." Miss Sanjo said. "You can choose one of them to be your tour guide for today."

The other three looked at me with a flicker of recognition.

"You're that girl who had her luggage rolling all over the place!" The tallest, oldest looking one said.

"Thank you for lending me your seat." I extended my hand out to him. "I'm Hinamori Amu."

"I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto and you're welcome." He smirked at me as he clasped my hand and lightly shook it.

"We rode the taxi together, right?" The shortest of the four asked, though he was still taller than me.

"Yes, nice to see you again." I smiled at him earnestly.

"I'm Hotori Tadase." He smiled back and shook my hand.

"I told you we would meet again." The third tallest one said grinning and shook my hand a bit more roughly. "I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko."

"Thank you so much for beating up that guy last night.." I blushed.

"Anytime!" He beamed at me.

"So which one of us will be your tour guide today?" Kukai asked enthusiastically.

"Uhm…"

If you choose…

Tsukiyomi Ikuto…go to chapter 2

Souma Kukai…go to chapter 3

Hotori Tadase…go to chapter 4

Fujisaki Nagihiko….go to chapter 5
