"Dear Mother and Father,

Greetings from a small island off the coast of Japan! Man, that's a long greeting.

I have had a very odd day. Meeting eight strange "people" will do that to you. It started earlier, when I was running to school and crashed into a guy...

Yuki Hakora's POV, earlier that morning...

I scrambled to get dressed, throwing on my outfit and shoving food in my mouth. Stupid alarm clock, it never works right. I mentally cursed it as I shoved on my shoes, running down the stairs. "Ms. Hakora, you'll be late if you don't hurry!" one of the servants scolded.

"Tell me that again when I have time to listen!" I called back, sprinting out of the house.

My name is Yuki Hakora, an American exchange student. I'm 16 3/4, my birthday actually quite soon, today being April 1, my birthday April 20th. I have waist-length white hair with red streaks and ice-blue eyes. I live with my cousin, a rich brat, mostly. Today she messed with my alarm clock, and left me to run to school.

Stupid Sora. Stupid Tuesday.

My thoughts were interrupted when I crashed into someone.

"Ow! Watch where you're...going..." I trailed off, staring at the person I had crashed into.

"I'm sorry, are you injured?" A guy with gold hair, tanned skin and sad brownish-gold eyes looked at me worriedly.

"Uh yeah. I'm fine." I brushed away his offered hand and stood up.

Our hands touched, creating a huge purple-and-pink spark. "OW! Why am I so prone to static electricity?" I muttered.

The guy looked extremely shocked. Then a gong sounded, the first warning bell of school.

"Blast it, I've gotta run. See ya." I called, sprinting as fast as I could to the tall building.

I barely made it to class on time. When I collapsed into my seat, Sora was snickering at me and my bestie, Aoi, was watching me, nervous. I shot my cousin a harsh glare, then pulled out my books, ignoring Aoi's pointed stares. "Not now, Aoi." I muttered, flipping though my history book. Aoi sighed, turning back to her own books.

My thoughts dwelled on the guy I ran into, not paying much attention to the droning history teacher. The way he looked at me when our hands touched, like I had given him the utter shock of his life. Hmm, why wasn't he in class? He looked to be my age. Weirds.

I glanced down at my hand, a faint blush on my face. He was so cute- EW! What the heck, Yuki?! That is so gross!

I buried my head in my arms and didn't move for the rest of the class.

~Lunchtime~

I opened my lunch box, still thinking about the guy. Aoi flopped down next to me, grinning.

"Sooo, who is it?" She prodded.
I glared at her. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Aw, come on! You obviously ran into someone, and you had this dreamy look on your face the whole morning!" Aoi poked me.
I pulled away, staring at my sushi. "Sora messed with my alarm clock, making me late. I may have run into someone..."

She squealed, attracting a couple other people's attention. "You are so lucky! What's his name?"
"Don't know."
She sighed. "What does he look like?"

I described him to her, pulling my chopsticks apart. With a look of deep concentration, I stabbed my sushi and ate it, very unlike how Aoi was doing it.

"I keep forgetting your an exchange student, since your Japanese is so well." She sighed.
I shrugged. "Yes, but everything you say it takes me a second to translate, which is why some people think I'm stupid before they realize I speak English."

"You aren't stupid!" She said forcefully, glaring at her rice balls.
"I may be a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them." I agreed.
"Nope, just an self-centered, naive idiot." She laughed.
"Hey!" I protested, but started laughing as well.

At the end of the day, Aoi and I walked out of the school and down the sidewalk, talking about random things.

"Hey, you think you'll see the guy again?" She asked.
I stopped, staring at the fluttering cherry blossoms. "Doubt it. This island's huge."
"I wouldn't be so sure." A voice said from behind us.

Aoi and I whirled, to find the stranger and a another guy next to him.

Aoi shrieked, the guys jumped, and four people fell from the cherry trees nearby. They quickly stood up sheepishly.

There was the guy from earlier, and his friend with purple hair and blue-purple eyes. Then the oldest who fell from the tree, who had brown and red hair and brown eyes, the oldest of the three youngest-white hair, light purple eyes-a red-head with blue eyes, and a little boy, with blond hair and green eyes.

All were male, and the older ones obviously reeled Aoi, whose face was a brilliant shade of pink. She swayed slightly, muttering, "Man, Yuki, you meet the cutest guys." I glared at her.

"Sorry to scare you." The oldest who fell from the tree said, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"I thought I told you not to come." Purple-hair glared.
"You think we're gonna obey every single order?! Pfft, who do you think you are, a leader?!" The one with white hair glared, then yelped as the other gave him a rather rough noogie.

I winced, then pointed at them. "First, why are you stalking us? Second, who are you wierdos-" I pointed to the other two. "And-" "And why are you so cute?!" Aoi interrupted, her eyes practically bleeding rainbows.

I facepalmed. I seem to be doing that a lot these days.

"I'm Kei. That's Mannen, Hajime, Shin, Go and Hayate. Your names are Yuki and Aoi, correct?" Kei, the one with blond hair asked.

Aoi nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It's awesome to meet you."

I sighed again. "But seriously, why are you stalking us?"
"Because it might have something to do with this." Kei grabbed my hand. I mentally died a little inside.

Until a huge pink spark made us both go flying.

I crashed into Aoi, knocking us both on the ground. Kei flew into Hayate, who somehow didn't move, Kei just bouncing off.

"Oww." Aoi and I muttered, untangling ourselves.
"What the heck was that? Are you trying to kill me?!" I yelled at Kei, dusting my uniform off, embarrassed.

"No, not exactly." He likewise stood up.
"You two are really powerful people, to be blunt." Go said.

"Come again? My parents are dentists. Not exactly rulers of a country." I raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe it would be better if we show you." Mannen suggested. Aoi and I exchanged glances.

"If it requires going anywhere, I have to be back by 4 to watch my sister." Aoi said.
"Done." Go pushed us through portals that appeared out of nowhere.

We both screamed, falling through rainbows.

How's that for a first chapter? I don't really expect reviews, since Pretear isn't as popular as it was years ago. This is just an idea that's been floating around in the space of my brain. I've only seen the Anime, so I'm not sure how accurate this is.

There's another OC to be added, but not for a few more chapters.
