Author's Note: This story is base on the plot of " Only the Ring Finger Knows", loosely.

I really like this story, and when I read it, I just thought that the two characters fit these two perfectly and well you know. Well, if you haven't read the story, you might want to if you like this one. And if you have, don't worry, it's not going to be exactly the same, so it won't be boring.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, the plot, well, most of it, and ummm, so we've established that I don't own anything … … Moving on.

------------------------------------------

It was a Monday morning, a lovely Monday morning to be exact.

Birds were chirping happily.

The sun was shining.

A light breeze was blowing. Caressing pedestrians' hairs and clothes. Just the slightest movement and then it was gone.

The perfect setting for something magical and extraordinary to happen.

But of course, that kind of thing never happens to me, Nakuru thought bitterly, pouting her lips in the slightest. She really disliked days like these, so story-like, so … so perfect. Days so magical, yet leaves her no different than before, just full of disappointment. She hates disappointments.

"Nakuru-chan, what do you think?"

Nakuru blinked, and turned only to face the expectant expressions of her companions.

"Eh?"

Rinku, the brown-haired girl sighed, she can't wait until the day her friend start actually paying attention when others are talking. But before she could reply, or even open her mouth, someone else answered Nakuru's question.

"You know, THE rings!" The blond in the group had spoken-Leena.

Nakuru blinked again, maybe she really should start paying attention more often.

Seeing her confusion, the group of girls around her collectively sighed. They were on their way to school, and since they all lived pretty close to each other, they often walked together.

Rinku picked up the conversation again, attempting to involve her clueless friend.

"You know, the rings that couples often wear to show their love for each other? The matching ones?"

Blink.

Leena slapped her forehead, why do they even try? She turned around and grabbed Nakuru's hand, dragging her ahead towards a gift shop.

"Ow!!" Nakuru whined as she was practically hauled across the sidewalk, her long red hair flowing behind her like a flag. Like she wasn't drawing enough attention as it is. Before she realized it, her face was pushed into a rack of plastic wrappings.

"These, are what we were talking about!"

Nakuru felt her eyes cross as she tried to focus on the little package of plastic thrusted into her face. Feeling dizzy from the effort, she pushed her friend's eager hands away. Blowing a piece of stray hair out of her face, Nakuru bent down and picked up a little package that had fell on the ground. Wow, this is really pretty, Nakuru thought as she studied the object in her hand. In the package was a tiny little ring. Silver in colour with a thin band. The ring is surprisingly simple, with no attachments and only carvings for decoration. The carving itself is quite straight-ward as well, a wailing moon extending into two vines, going around the entire circumference of the ring. It was what most would consider plain, unworthy of a second glance. However, to Nakuru, it is one of the most beautiful things she has ever seen. Even if it is a cheap toy ring from a gift shop. Her thoughts were cut short when she realized that her friends were talking to her.

"Nakuru-chan?"

Still somewhat awed, Nakuru only managed a "Huh?" for an answer.

Rinku sweatdropped, so typical. Then she smiled as she notice the tell-tale package in her friend's hands. Curious, Rinku leaned in to take a closer look. As if they were one, all the other girls mimicked her movement as well. Soon, Nakuru had a crowd of girls around her, all staring intently at her hand.

"Are you going to buy it?"

Then something just clicked.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!"

The girls sighed collectively, again, as they watched Nakuru bounce up and down towards a very frightened cashier while knocking over piles of gifts. Well, they are never coming here ever again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking along the sidewalk, she couldn't help but admire the newly bought ring in her hand, still in its shiny little package. However, the farther they walked, the more depressed she got.

Noticing the sudden, and not so conspicuous rain cloud over Nakuru's head, Leena questioned, "What's wrong, Nakuru-chan?" Feeding on the attention, Nakuru's depression got even more, depressing. Leena could've sworn that rain drops were actually forming on top of Nakuru's head.

"I can't wear this ring."

Leena's eyes widened, don't tell me we just sacrificed a shopping spot for nothing!

Turning, Leena carefully scrutinized her friend. "And why on earth not?"

" 'cause I'm not a couple…."

"………………"

Simultaneously, punches were place on top of Nakuru's head.

Leena rolled her eyes, blowing her fist lightly, "Of course you can."

"But---" A glare was all Nakuru needed to shut up.

"These rings can be worn like an engagement ring, only matched sets are for couples, to show they are committed. BUT they don't have to be worn that way. If you are single, then you just have to wear it on the middle finger instead of the ring finger. See? Like mine." Leena explained, holding up her right hand. A golden band glinted on her middle finger.

All her previous depression gone, Nakuru grabbed Leena's hand.

"Wooo, I never knew you had one Leena-chan!"

"Yeah, well. We've already established the fact that you don't notice much…"

Through all this, no one noticed a pair of violet eyes silently watching.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the girls chatted, the school drew nearer and nearer. A whole new day of studying was about to begin.

"I heard he turned another girl down yesterday!"

"Eh? Really? That must be a new record, five girls in just two days."

"He is so handsome! No wonder girls, and guys confess to him on a daily basis."

Absent minded, Nakuru listened to the conversation around her.

"He's only a year older too, isn't that amazing? He practically rules the school."

Rules the school?

Confessions daily?

"And he's really nice, all the girls said he was such a gentleman when turning them down."

Gentleman?

"Well, he's still a heartbreaker."

Who is this guy?

Before she realized it, the words were out of her mouth.

"It's not his fault that people keep on confessing to him and he keeps on refusing, it's not like he could say yes to all of them."

Stares turned her way, surprised half at the fact she had defended a random guy who, knowing Nakuru, is complete unknown to her, half at the fact that she had actually been listening. Blushing slightly, Nakuru grinned and shrugged. Who knows what she was thinking. However, she started regretting her words immediately.

"It's always nice to hear a lovely girl coming to my defence." A husky whisper reached her ear, warm breath teasing Nakuru's sensitive earlobe.

"EEEEEEEKKK!!!!!" Shrieking, Nakuru jumped away from the source of the voice, attempting to turn as she moved.

But, being as ungraceful as she is, she fell.

On her butt.

On the ground.

"Oww, oww!" Nakuru winced as she rubbed her behind gingerly, this is gonna leave a bruise. Temporarily distracted, she didn't notice the person coming closer to her. When she finally raised her head again, she froze, like a deer caught in the headlight. Right in front of her, was the most beautiful person she has ever met. Violet-grey. Silver. Milky white. Pale pink. Nakuru has never thought that these colours would look so… perfect… together.

"Yue-sama!!!!!!!!!!"

The spell was broken. Nakuru drew her head back quickly, grateful for her friends' interruption. She didn't even realize that she had leaned in ever so slightly towards him. She watched as her friends fussed over the appearance of the so called "heartbreaker". Well, I could see why he was called that…… Realizing where her thoughts are going, Nakuru blushed furiously. She will not think such things about him. She barely knows the guy for god sakes. Thankfully her friends gave her a chance to recover from the shock, and untangle herself from the ground. And hopefully, hide her blush.

Dusting her uniform off, Nakuru fought the urge to look over at the long silver-haired boy. She must not. It's not he'd pay attention to her anyways. It's hopeless to begin with. A disappointment waiting to happen. But fate wasn't on her side that day. A pair of pristine, perfectly shined shoes entered her vision.

"I believe this is yours?" That deep husky voice again.

Immediately, Nakuru's cheeks started heating up once more. It was her ring. She was admiring it in her hand. Determined not to look at the beautiful boy, she grabbed the ring mumbling a hurried apology and dashed towards the school. Leaving others behind in a trail of dust.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And the equation goes like so… …"

Nakuru sighed for what seemed like the hundredths time, math is so boring, and consequently her worst subject. There is no way she's going to get any of this anyways. Instead her thoughts turned to a few days ago. Yue-san. A blush was threatening to emerge again at the mere thought of his name. With a groan, Nakuru buried her head in her arms, this is hopeless.

"Ahem! Akizuki-san, do you have something to say?"

Oh, crap.

"Um, I have a headache?" Nakuru grinned sheepishly. Quiet snorts could be heard through out the classroom.

The teacher rubbed his forehead, how he longed to throw her out of the classroom. Permanently.

"Go and take break outside then, Akizuki-san."

Overjoyed, Nakuru jumped up.

"HAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEN--"

"Just go!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sensei is so mean sometimes, Nakuru pouted as she wandered down the hall. She was just trying to thank him.

Well, at least I get some free time. Grinning now, Nakuru looked around. All alone. Spreading her arms, a gleeful look spred across her features. She started to spin. Moving her arms in waves and her body, Nakuru began to dance. Fully absorbed in her own joy of dancing, she was oblivious to everything around her. Her now flaming hair under the sunlight trails her petite form with every movement, twisting around her body.

Filled with happiness, she prepared for another spin. She stepped forward once again, turning as she went. As she finished the second turn, for a second, she opened her eyes.

Vivid ruby met cool violet.

Before she even had time to react, they connected.

Eyes wide, Nakuru became aware of herself falling.

And falling.

And falling still.

In a state of panic, she reached out. Grabbing anything and everything she could to stabilize herself.

In a haze, Nakuru felt her hand grip cloth, a shirt maybe? And her ring slipping off as she lost her grip.

Thud.

Ching.

Slowly Nakuru regained her surroundings, it's the second time this week she's falling on her bum. Now it's definitely going to be bruised. Eventually, she realized she could barely breath. Mainly due to the full size human on top of her chest. And with what little air she got, a strong scent filled her nose also. Interesting, I've never smelt this before…definitely male though, Nakuru thought distractedly. But before she could think more, the weight disappeared.

"Get up!"

Blink.

Eh?

"Are you deaf?"

Eh?

No apologies, no inquiries of my health……

Nakuru looked up. Yue stood there before her, long silver tresses spilling over his shoulders, his bangs in disarray from the fall. The eyes. The hair. Yep, that's him.

But why is he so ……rude.

"I'm fine." Came Nakuru's answer, albeit curtly. But hey, it's not like he's being very polite either.

A sneer. Nakuru's vein popped, how dare he sneer at me! He's the one who almost suffocated me in first place!

"I didn't ask." Oh, she is getting angry now. "Well at least, you don't seem deaf. You must be stupid then." Nakuru's eyes widened, is this really the same Yue-san she met the other day? The polite, kind one?

Suddenly, his face didn't seem so appealing anymore. Well, it was still an appealing punch bag. Nakuru stood up to her full height and took a step towards Yue.

"Who are you calling stupid!" Okay, so she's not exactly the best at insults.

"Humphf!" And a second later, he was walking away.

What the hell!!! Nakuru thought angrily, what happened to the gentleman?

"You must be stupid then."

"Damn him!!!" A shrill scream was heard throughout the school.

Nakuru grumbled curse after curse as she searched the floor for her fallen ring. Spotting it sitting near the window, Nakuru hurried to check if it was ok. Luckily, the ring was in pristine shape, looking even shinier than before.

Funny.

The noises outside quickly diverted her attention away from the ring.

……

The birds are chirping. The sun is shining.

I HATE perfect days.

However, Nakuru froze as she arrived at one thought.

…… Is he PMSing?
