It was a cold in Kanagawa, winter was starting to set in and thus it was almost impossible to do any sports in this weather. Hinamori Amu was walking down the mostly disserted streets until she reached the place where Tadase was supposed to meet with her. Amu looked up at the sky with sadness as she thought of what had been of her life, shortly after she graduated elementary school Tadase broke up with her, convinced that she was in love with Ikuto when the truth was that she only saw Ikuto as an older brother, while Ikuto only saw her as a younger sister, something her confessed to her shortly before he left to join the orchestra and her family moved to Kanegawa. Time has passed and she now attended Rikkaidai Fuzoku as a freshman in Rikkaidai Fuzoku, she had changed a lot, she could cook, her personality was now of a sassy optimistic girl though she sometimes gave some advice to her classmates and had a heart of gold, she could draw and had entered Rikkai´s girl tennis club, where she was one of the best, her skill the same level than that of the youngest member of the regulars of the boys tennis team their ´Junior Ace´, according to her captain to whom the captain of the male tennis team commented this, she was in the top of her class with a perfect score and had allowed her hair to grow out, now it reached her lower back, she had even stopped wearing her barrette her body was already developing, she had some nice curves despite her age and her breast was actually a cup B, all of the above made it so that she had quite the fan club, which was composed of 90% of the male freshmen.

The sounds of footsteps startled out of her thoughts, she looked up and saw the person she was person for arrive

She seemed to be waiting for someone, just when he was going to walk up to her a blonde with russet colored eyes, Akaya watched as they talked for a while before a heated argument began between the two, the boy left and the girl turned to look at the sky, it was then that he noticed that there were tears streaming down her eyes and she left the place.
