I'm not so sure yet though but I can only say this, this is all a new story where the characters has no Hime powers or any otome materialization. I hope you enjoy this new story which has been in my mind for quite some time and never had the chance to write it out.
"Ding… Dong…" The clock of the famous academy in Japan, The Fuuka Academy Secondary and Primary has rang to indicate that it is time for the students to get into class. Everyone there wears a smile as they walk into their respective classes assigned to them. The new comers however, headed to the hall for some briefing before they get to enter their class.
The Fuuka Academy is well known for the best produced students and they consist of primary, secondary and straight to college or university. It is a real big academy which holds all these schools for students that is lucky enough to enter the academy. They schools has all kinds of activity and facilities which includes hostels for all students. Both boys and girls are meant to stay in the hostel prepared by the academy.
As the new comers all preoccupy the hall, it was time for the briefing as it always have and was carried out by the president or known as the "kaichou" of student counsel. It was called as a tradition and was carried out every single year for ages.
'Psh… stupid tradition. Why don't they just make it into a "hey hoo" welcoming party instead of this boring thing.' A girl who has raven hair with a pair of emotionless green eyes thought as she rolled her eyes and yawned loudly to show how boring the event is which earned the attention of a few students and teachers.
The raven haired girl was about to close her eyes, her ears picked up someone walking though the isle. It was then, her ears also picked up some ohhs and wahhs from her so call fellow students. As her eyes search the cause of the noise, her breath was caught in her throat.
"Blonde… girl…" The raven haired girl who wears "Natsuki Kuga" name tag on her vest. Natsuki's eyes followed the girl as she moved gracefully. The blonde, has obviously attracted many students as she walked her way gracefully to the stage to give her respectful welcome speech. As she talks her step up towards the stairs, took her time to walk towards the microphone. By that time, the hall was already practically silent as all attention was focused on the blonde girl who is up on the stage now, with the microphone in her hand.
Like a slow motion, the blonde slowly open her eyes which introduces her red ruby eyes which none the less made everyone's jaw dropped. A smile was formed at the blonde's face as she raises the microphone to the level of her mouth.
"Good morning too all of you. It is a great wonder to have meet new faces in the grand traditional welcoming briefing of Fuuka Academy. My name is Shizuru Fujino, the president of student counsel of this academy." The blonde whose name is Shizuru said with a smile on her face.
As the speech went on, Natsuki was staring blankly at her, no words were able to criticize Shizuru in mind... except her Kyoto accent. For the first time, Natsuki didn't realize that she was staring at someone so long, she never notice until Shizuru gave her respective bow and walked down from the stage gracefully.
"What the hell is wrong with her... Does she have to pretend to walk so gracefully?" Natsuki forced herself to say it when she knew that it comes naturally from the blonde beauty. Natsuki rolled her eyes as Shizuru was passing beside her to avoid any eye contact from Shizuru. Shizuru, who in the other hand is aware of the stares she is getting from all the students had noticed Natsuki's reaction. A smile creped into her face as she slowed her pace and take her time to digest Natsuki's image.
'She looks like a cute puppy...' Was all Shizuru could think of as she kept her eyes on Natsuki as she walked.
As all humans would, Natsuki's sixth sense was ringing in her head to give warning that someone is staring at her. Natsuki paid her attention back to Shizuru and it was then, their eyes met each other. Green and red eyes staring to one another, admiring the colour of another. Just like Shizuru, Natsuki's gaze is now locked at Shizuru's eyes and her mouth dropped lightly.
'Oh... my god... thats a beautiful emerald eyes...' Shizuru thought as she continued to walk down the isle while looking at Natsuki. 'Come on... Control yourself Shizuru Fujino! You're in a important role model for the students.' Shizuru mentally kicked herself.
Smiling and closing her eyes for a while as she was the same line with Natsuki, she continued to walk and open her eyes back. 'If I were to stare longer... what might know I'll stop to stare at her... she's too cute for me to break my gaze... how come a new comer like her gain an effect like this to me.' Shizuru thought as she continue to walk.
Natsuki, who was still looking at Shizuru from behind started to feel as if her face was burning hot. Realizing that she is blushing mad, Natsuki shook her head hard trying to get rid of Shizuru image which had made its way into Natsuki's mind.
After Shizuru left, the teachers took their part and dismissed the students to their respective classes. Natsuki quickly stood up and walked with the groups of students to her class.
"Did you see her!? I mean the kaichou! She looks so perfect and BEAUTIFUL!" The girls in a group started talking about Shizuru. It wasn't the only group, even the boys are gathering up talking about the gorgeous president. Natsuki, none the less felt disgust with people's behavior and saved her time from listening to her class. As she reached, she went straight to the lass roll of the table, toss her bag on the table and sat down. One hand popped on the table and supported her chin as she look out to the window.
"What is that girls name again... the one who gave the speech..." she whispered silently as she was in her own world. A few minutes after that, their class teacher came in and start to give them an orientation on the classes, rules and even the teachers. "God... this is going to be a boring day..." Natsuki whispered and rolled her eyes...
Handling down a pile of files, Shizuru's eyes then slowly place her elegant signatures after reading each and every new comer's profile with the help of her upper hand, Kanzaki Reito, the vice president of Fuuka Academy. As time passes through, Shizuru came across the file she was waiting for, the girl which caught her attention during the traditional welcoming briefing.
Shizuru then relaxed a bit towards the chair and started to read Natsuki's profile which was stated in the file. 'Natsuki... Kuga...' Shizuru mouth Natsuki's name without any voice and smiled. She continued to read when she came across Natsuki's guardian before entering the Academy which earned Shizuru's disbelieve. "She's... an orphan?" Shizuru whispered. Reito, who is Shizuru's vice president heard her whispered. "Excuse me?" Reito asked.
Shizuru looked at him and smiled. "Ara... Something interesting caught my attention. Its nothing to worry about. Sorry about the distraction I've done." With the reassurance from Shizuru, Reito nodded and continued his work.
Interest starts to catch up as she continues to read further more and slowly digest every inch of information into her memory. After a full 15 minutes, Shizuru was now satisfied and place her signature and mentally promise herself to talk to the lone wolf and befriend her. Shizuru then smiled knowing this girl, named Natsuki Kuga, a normal girl had gain so much interest from her. 'This could be interesting...' Shizuru thought as she place down Natsuki's file together with the other signatured file.
"RIIINNNNNNGGGGGG" The bell rang and the teacher, finishes their last sentences.
"Students, you may now go for your Lunch Break. Just remember not to leave this academy and come back in here at 3 pm." The teacher reminded the students, but none of them paid attention as they already knew about this rules. As they all leave for lunch, Natsuki stood up and slowly bring out a bag of bento out from her drawer and walked out. Slowly removing her hair to the back of her shoulder, she wonders about the area hoping to find a peaceful situation instead of being with these people.
Slowly, she walked further and even more further creating a huge distance from other students until Natsuki decided to take a right turn and found herself staring at a garden. Her eyes widen as she look at the garden. "What the... Rose garden?" Natsuki said as she walked into the garden. Slowly slowing down her pace, she eventually stop moving when she saw a beautiful rose, who stood out from other rose, showing its unknown beauty to the eyes of those who passes by. It was a mix of red and white on the top, bigger in size and the fragrant is stronger.
Natsuki looked at it and realize that it has symbolized her. She knew since the first time she stepped into the academy, she have been receiving stares from guys as well as girls but she never gave a damn on them. Cold and Death glare was the only thing which everyone who look at her received.
"So... you must be suffering as i am... People who thinks I'm touchable are all wrong. Standing out so obvious earning attention must have made everyone here hate you. Might as well put an end to your suffering." Natsuki whispered as she reaches out for the rose, wanting to crush the rose into pieces and bits. When her hand enclosed the rose completely and even before she would use her strength to destroy it a thick in kyoto-ben voice interrupted her.
"Ara, you shouldn't do that Kuga-san." It was what the stranger said that gave Natsuki a shock.
Shocked as it is, Natsuki quickly turn her body 180 degrees and look at the stranger. There and then she notices the voice belongs to whom... Someone which she exchanged her stare with earlier this morning but she couldn't remember the girls name then. Her mind completely when blank.
"The flowers needed and used all their strength, energy and time to bloom into a beautiful flowers like we are. It'll be a waste to end its blooming just like that Kuga-san." Shizuru said in a smile as she held on to her bento behind her.
"Who... who cares of the stupid flower and what are you doing here! Stop following me" Natsuki, able to find her voice said in loud and with a hint of "Piss off!" in her tone.
"Ara... I should be the one asking that question and if you might have forgotten which is very rare, my name is Shizuru Fujino, the president of student council who would never follow people during lunch break.." Shizuru said as she gaze down and Natsuki's face who is gradually turning red.
"What ever." Natsuki said as she turn her body and continue to walk hoping to find a place. When her eyes caught a bit tree, she walked there to take a sit. Just when she was about to sit down and forget about her whatever useless meeting with Shizuru, she was greeted again with the same voice.
"Arara... I wonder who is the one stalking me now." Shocked, she turn to look and saw Shizuru sitting there with a bento in hand. Face turning bright red, she was about to bark at the Kaichou but Shizuru interupted.
"This is a real beautiful place isn't it?" Shizuru asked as she look at the scene behind Natsuki. However, Natsuki who is getting real irritated eventually barked at Shizuru.
"Whatever! You seem like a freak appearing around people, talking with your rubbish words on whatever flower on others. I'm outta here!" Natsuki said as she was about to walk away.
"Why don't you just join me here? I'm pretty sure you are already hungry from all the walking Natsuki-chan..." Shizuru said in a playful tone with the addition of "Natsuki-chan" made her even angrier. "LOOK MISSY! I DON'T LIKE SHARING A PLACE WITH SOMEONE AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO BE..." Natsuki wanted to finish her sentence when she was stopped by something which turned her into a tomato colour...
"GRIUUUUUUUU" Her stomach interrupted her from continue. "Ara..." Shizuru said as she covered her mouth and started to giggle.
Rolling her eyes, she heard Shizuru said "If you hate me so much, I'll sit behind of the tree then. I'm not going to bother you." Shizuru said as she stood up and walked behind and sat back down. Sighing... Natsuki felt guilty for barking at Shizuru when all Shizuru did was offering a place to sit with her. But being a stubborn her, she refused to apologize and sat down the place Shizuru was sitting before.
Both of them started to eat their bento in peace. Natsuki's eyes then realized what Shizuru meant earlier. The garden looks spectacular from where she is sitting and the flower she wanted to crush stood out clearer from there and it was a breath taking scenery.
After a complete silence... Shizuru stood back up and started to dust her skirt. Natsuki look at Shizuru as she dusted the dirt. "I'm going to go back to the counsel room. I still have some unfinished work..." Shizuru said politely and smiled genuinely to Natsuki.
Unable to suppress her own blushing, Natsuki blushed real hard and nodded. 'Kawaii... she looks even more cuter when she blush...' Shizuru said as her eyes never left Natsuki's face.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Shizuru said and Natsuki looked at her.
"Impossible." Was all Natsuki said as she look at the still smiling Kaichou.
"I'm sure that isn't true. I'll be waiting you here the same time tomorrow. I'm running late to the counsel room as it is." Shizuru said and left quickly before Natsuki could even say anything.
"What the... weirdo." Natsuki said as she rolled her eyes but eventually they paid attention back to Shizuru who was walking gracefully back into the school compound.
"I'm not going to let you out of my hand that easy Natsuki-chan." Shizuru said softly and giggled a bit upon her encounter to the lone wolf again. 'She just looked so cute...' Shizuru thought to herself throughout her meeting with other representative.
