Nanami Haruka groaned as she woke up. She sat down letting her long, red hair fall graciously down her back. She rubbed her eyes, wondering why this particular morning felt so special.

Her golden eyes lit up as she remembered.

It was today. The day they were going to graduate.

Excited, she got of her bed and ran towards her shower room.


Haruka Nanami changed during her stay in Saotome Academy. For one, she wasn't the helpless girl everyone had come to know. This Haruka was instead, skilled in kenjustu, The Art of the Sword. Having been taught the basics of kendo at a young age, she decided to take it a step further and applying to be the apprentice of Usui Mitsuko, the child of famous Ayuzawa Misaki and Usui Takumi who was by all means a prodigy. Haruka was overjoyed when she heard that she had been accepted.

The second would be her appearance. Her hair now reached mid-back and had noticeably gotten thinner, making her figure more noticeable. Not to mention she had grown in particular areas. She was, to say the least, the most envied girl in the whole campus.

The third and probably the most important difference would be her attitude. She's still mostly the same person, but when you get her mad, that's a whole other story. The last person who pissed her off still has mental scars and still haunts him to this very day.


Hijirikawa Masato sighed and rubbed his temple. He was doing a last minute check over some blue prints, contracts, ect. He frowned trying to remember how he got stuck with this job.

'Oh that's right, Jinguji bailed out at the last minute and the rest of them barely know anything about these things…Not that I blame him though, learning about this was a pain…'

He sighed and continued what he was doing. The mansion was done, meaning they could all move by today. It had cost a fortune but luckily they had two company heirs, Otoya's mom had apparently been rich and all of that fortune was left to him, Tokiya was a famous idol, Natsuki was plain rich, as was Sho, and Haruka was the daughter of two famous politicians.

Masato leaned back and stared at the clock. He only had half an hour to get dressed for the graduating ceremony.


"Ren-nii-chan!" Haruka called out. The two had become rather close to each other and after Haruka found out that Ren was one good year older than her, she had decided to call him nii-chan. Likewise, she also called Natsuki with a "nii-chan" prefix seeing that he was two years older than she was. She refused to call neither Tokiya nor Masato "nii-chan" claiming that it was because they were only a few months older than her.

Ren turned around and chuckled. He accepted his imouto open arms. Despite all of this, Ren mentally twitched. He hated that name, for he wanted to be more than just a brother-sister relationship. He wasn't going to tell her that, of course. He was perfectly content with how the relationship was going but expected to be more progress in the near future. He had to admit though, having a brother-sister relationship did have its pros. Being able to hug each other openly without anyone thinking wrongly about them, would definitely be one of them.

"It's today," Haruka whispered. "After today we can officially debut as STARISH and move into one house…AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD MWAHAHAHAHA!" Ren paused for a while, and then pulled back.

"Haru, did you eat any sugar? At all?" Ren asked, precautious. Another thing that had changed in Haruka was the fact that she became very, very hyper when she consumed the right amount of sugar.

"Maaaaaaybe," Haruka said batting her eyes and trying to look as innocent as possible. "Oto-kun gave me some… And I couldn't refuse an offer from a close friend! WHEEEEE!" She continued twirling around and jumping all over the place. 'Oto-kun' happened to be near by and was slowly backing away from the two.

Unfortunately, Ren already saw him.

"My, my, where on earth does Oto-kun think he's going?" Ren said in sickly sweet voice.

"N-nowhere! O-oh, l-look at t-the t-time! I m-must g-get going!" Otoya said panicking. His eyebrow was twitching and he absolutely new he was doomed.

"Don't think your getting away that easily Oto-kun." Just when Ittoki thought there was no hope, he saw Sho.

"SHO! SAVE MEEEE!"

Sho looked at Ittoki's crying form, then at Ren, then at Ittoki, then at Haruka, then at Ren, then at Ittoki, then at Ren.

"I'd rather not die yet. You're on your own here. See you in the next world!" Sho said, waving back at his friend.

"NOO! SHO YOU TRAITOR!" Ittoki screamed while Ren dragged him away.

Sho looked at Haruka and sighed. They only had 10 more minutes before the ceremony started and Haruka was-

Wait, what? They only had ten minutes left?

Screw that, they had nine minutes left.

The ceremony was going to be held at the gym and that was on the other side of the school…

Oh. Shit.

He grabbed Haruka and ran.


"R-Ren, h-how the fuck did you get here b-before we did?" Sho wheezed out panting in between words.

"WHEEE! That was fun can we do it again?" Haruka exclaimed even though she was wobbly and couldn't walk a strait line. Ren stared at her for a moment.

"Oh right, I almost forgot," He rummaged his pocket and pulled out a container. He popped the container open and tilted it so a pill could drop. "Here you go." And he promptly shoved the pill into Haruka's mouth. Why on earth Ren had Haruka's pills, we shall never know.

Haruka blinked once, and then promptly passed out. Then woke up a few moments later. She groaned.

"I went hyper again didn't I?"

"Yep."

"…Damn, I knew I shouldn't have accepted that chocolate bar from Otoya."


"To all of you who are here today, I am proud to say that you have all become wonderful idols. Remember what you have learned in this school and you shall survive this vicious world. Always remember that in this world not everything is what it seems to be, but there is always a good thing that comes right after. I bid all of you farewell and I hope we may do business together in the future." Their principal, Shining Saotome said, serious.

Sobs were heard but then...

"Okay, now that formalities are over, it's time to party!"

Well, you know what happens next.

If you don't well, let me tell you this: Get. A. Life.

But I'll explain to you what happens anyway.

Music was heard and dj's were seen. Food was served and soon people were dancing. They served sake and soon about everyone was drunk. Everyone was screaming and shouting and there was the occasional drunk idiot. Most of the people dancing had sake bottles in their hands and those who were sitting were mostly making out. People were on tabletops and there was at least one person stripping.

Or in simpler terms: All hell broke lose.

Haruka covered her ears. It was too loud and she was sure her eardrums were this close to breaking. She saw a blob of blue hair walked up to it.

"M-Masa? Are you drunk?" She asked surprised. He only looked at her before pulling her. He sat down and made her sit on his lap, straddling him. Haruka blushed at the position they were in.

"I don't know… Am I?" He whispered in her ear in a seductive voice. Haruka blushed even more and was slowly turning into a tomato. She pushed him away.

"Y-you definitely a-are!" She sputtered. The chair they were sitting in wobbled and soon the found themselves in a rather interesting position, in which Masato was on top of Haruka. Masato smirked. He started to play with her hair. He moved forward.

"You're min…" He was about to kiss her but alas, he passed out. Haruka panicked and, after a few deep breaths, decided to carry him on her back rather than dragging him, the latter being plan B.

The task proved to be harder than she expected.

"D-damn Masa, you're heavier than you look." Haruka muttered under his weight. Masato simply snored quietly.

"Miss Nanami." A sudden voice erupted from nowhere.

"Saotome-sama." Haruka acknowledged.

"As you know Starish is a growing idol group. To help your success, I have decided to give you all trainers-"

"Bu-"

"-They shall be arriving at your place next week-"

"Saoto-"

"-They shall live you for half a year-"

"S-sir-"

"-Remember, my word is absolute!"

"…"

"Okay then. Farewell." And he disappeared laughing. Haruka hissed once he was out of sight and pulled out her phone.

"Dammit Toki, knowing you, you'll be the only one sober, so get the fuck to where I am and bring the rest of the group with you. I already have Masa passed out with me so worry about everyone else." Haruka hung up not even bothering to wait for a reply. She sat down rubbing her temples.


15 minutes later~

"Wow… you got here fast. Aren't those guys heavy?"

"Damn right they are." Tokiya quivered under the weight of both Otoya and Sho. Ren was right behind him carrying Natsuki.

"Whatever. Just get in the car already."

"I'll drive." Ren, who smelled like alcohol, said. Haruka and Tokiya both stared at him weirdly. Ren rolled his eyes in response. "Unlike those other idiots, I can actually function while I'm drunk." He shoved Natsuki inside the black Ford Expedition. Likewise, Haruka and Tokiya placed the passed out Masato, Otoya and Sho inside. After which, they went inside them selves.

"So, where did you find these idiots?" Haruka asked Tokiya.

"I found Otoya singing drunk at the karaoke station, Sho screaming at random people ordering them to call him 'Sho-dono', and Natsuki about to fight a random guy. Ren was right behind him with girls in his arms." Tokiya responded. Ren glared at him.

"I'm drunk, not deaf."

"Ren-nii-chan! Keep your eyes on the fucking road!" Haruka reminded Ren.

"So? You probably won't remember half of the night anyway." Tokiya said smugly.

"Why you, bas-" Ren grabbed Tokiya's collar.

"REN-NII-CHAN! Leave Toki fucking alone and KEEP YOUR FUCKING EYES ON THE FUCKING ROAD!" Haruka screamed.

"-tard…" Ren let go of Tokiya's shirt and swiveled to the right, barely avoiding the incoming car. By now, the other members of Starish started gaining their conscious back.

"What the-? HOLY SHIT! REN, MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE!" Sho, being the first one to wake up, screamed. He immediately regretted it as he and three others groaned. Ren swiveled to the other side once again, barely missing another car.

"Sho shut the fuck up!" Otoya said to Sho while holding his head.

"Be prepared for a major hangover and a long lecture." Haruka said lightly. Otoya groaned.

"I'm pretty sure I can feel the hangover right now. And what lecture?"

"From me. Oh and you can never feel the real hangover until morning, so good luck with that." Haruka replied dismissively.

"True that." Ren said in agreement. "We're here."

There stood a five-story mansion, painted in white and red. It consisted of two buildings. One building looked like it was made out of two houses; that's how long it was. The other building was only half that size, but impressive nonetheless. In front, 'STARISH' stood in bold, in the grass. (Okay, since I'm horrible when it comes to describing, just think of the Sanzenin mansion from Hayate The Combat Butler, with STARISH in the grass in the front. *shot*)


They had decided that Tokiya would help both Otoya and Natsuki back to their rooms, seeing as he was both sober and stronger than Haruka.

"…Am I cursed to be forever stuck with hard jobs? Damn…"

"Deal with it. Not my fault you just happened to be stronger than me."

"Of course I am. No girl can be stronger than a man." Tokiya said quite smug. Haruka started to tremble.

"Oh really now?" She drew her sword and threw it in the direction of Tokiya, barely missing by an inch. And that was because Tokiya reacted just in time to dodge.

"You miss-" Oh how wrong he was. He felt a hot liquid fall from the side of his cheek.

"You were saying?" Haruka said while smirking. Tokiya said nothing, but Haruka did hear him mumble words similar to 'Damn', 'crazy' and 'bitch'. She let it pass for now, but made a mental note to hit him one day. She picked Sho up and started walking towards his room. She had obviously picked Sho, seeing that he was the shortest and, most probably, the lightest. She sighed as she felt Sho slowly losing his consciousness once more. Once she felt him completely lose his consciousness, she pondered on what had happened that day.

Like the fact that more people were going to move in with them.

Ah, shit.

She had completely forgotten about that fact.

"Fuck this shit!" Haruka grumbled after thinking over many scenarios in her head. She heard Sho groan and instantly, her motherly instincts came rising.

"Hush, hush now, we're almost there…" She cooed. She heard someone snort at the end of the hallway, then proceeded to look for something, anything, to throw. Seeing as she couldn't throw anything, she grabbed her shoe and threw in the direction of the snort.

She gave a contented smile when she heard a scream of 'OW!' and a string of colorful words.

Once she reached Sho's room, she placed him on his bed gently and kissed the top of his forehead. Haruka made her way to her own room and slowly fell asleep.

That night, or rather morning, Nanami Haruka had fallen asleep at the latest time she promised her self would ever sleep, 4:59 am.


OHAYO MINNA-SAN! The Girl In Wonderland, A.K.A. Sanzenin Miki, here!
