Lifes A Little White Lie
Yami no Matsuei
Romance/Yaoi/AU
AU fic. Kurosaki Hisoka is a girl attending her first year at a new highschool. Immediatly she mets up with the happy go lucky Tsuzuki Asato who adds Hisoka to his inner circle of close friends in no time. But Hisoka isn't ready to be so friendly just yet, theres something she's hiding that nobody can know of.
AN: This fic is an AU(alternate universe) kind of fic..and Ive messed around with peoples sexes to make things a bit more interesting. ^^ You'll have to read further if you'd like to find out who is who,...er what. Also this fic is very TsuHi, with bits of TatsWat and lotsa Muraki psychoness. I took inspiration from the anime series and tried re-creating some scenes, but of course with the different plot. As well as themes from other manga/anime I love. (see if you can guess any. *snicker*)
Also, chapter 1 is real short compared to chapter 2. But I wanted a lot more to happen in the 2nd chapter..just went in a bit detailed. ^^; Please please please R&R!!! Id love to see it as a long series, but highly doubt Ill write many chapters to it. So it will remain fairly short. Sowwies..its harder to find time to write. x.x
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami no Matsuei, only in my dreams. But I do own all rights to this fic idea and every lil happening in it. >=D
Chapter 01.
[Meet me there...]
When your eyes met mine, they quickly looked away. Your shy, I understand, but do you have to be so cold?
Kurosaki Hisoka stared intensly at her reflection in the dancing puddle at her feet. It had grown much since she first stopped at its side, hands gripped tightly on the purple and black umbrella she clenched with pale hands. The rain didn't even start to slow any since it started early that morning, if anything it just got harder. But thankfully there was no lightning. That was something the young Hisoka couldn't and wouldn't want to deal with this day. She ran a hand through her short blonde hair and turned her head to the side to look it over in the water. She had wished it to grow out further before the fall, but it had not, and now didn't even reach her neck. But it looked feminine enough, especially with the added adorable green clip at the front. Her bright green eyes gave a feeling of cheerfullness and sweet innocence, but there was also some sadness in them. And something about her aura made you think she hid some sad past and anguish.
Hisoka tugged on the blue skirt with white trim and adjusted the short sleeved sailor suit top with triangular bottom hem. She felt a bit odd in such a skirt, it wasnt extremely short, but was a decent distance from her knees. As the light at the corner changed, Hisoka looked up from the ground and made her way across the street slowly.
"Hurry, hurry! We're getting wet!"
Hisoka glanced back over her shoulder and watched as a trio of girls ran past her, books held over their heads. "Hurry, hurry!!" The girl at the end yelled out as she pushed her way pass Hisoka and knocked the green eyed girl down. Hisoka let out a small grunt as her bottom hit the ground hard, the umbrella flying from her hands. She didn't waste time by yelling out at the girls as they continued on, she didn't have the strength to do so.
"Are you ok?" A small voice came from above and Hisoka looked up to give the voice a face. She stared up at the brunet with green eyes that sparkled like her own. He had a kind and caring expression, and simply boyish charm about him. Hisoka couldn't help but to blush slightly as he outstreached an arm to help her up.
"A-arigato..."
The boy smiled cheerfully and pulled Hisoka to her feet. "Do itashimaste.." He paused and looked Hisoka over with a suprised look. "Do I know you from somewhere?.." He asked after a short while. "Aa...I don't think so." Hisoka said barely above a whisper. The two looked a bit like twins, and could've been mistaken as so by any passing people. "I'm Minase Hijiri! You are?..."
Hisoka was a bit surprised that the boy cared to know such a thing just yet, but she answered. "Kurosaki Hisoka.."
"Aa.. Kurosaki-san. Well, should we be going to school Kurosaki-san?"
"But..." Hisoka began, stopping before she could even begin as Hijiri gripped her wrist lightly and continued on. How he knew she was headed to the same school was beyond her, but maybe there was something that gave her away, so she simply followed. "Takuman-Kei High?" Hisoka asked.
"Mhm! Your a new student aren't you?"
"Yes.."
"You'll like it, I'm sure. Other than those girls that passed you, everyone is pretty nice, like myself." Hijiri smiled as he finished off the sentence, walking at a more even pace now, as not to force the girl to run. "I...hope I can.."
"Mou...you got wet some. I didn't notice it while out in the rain." Hijiri looked over Hisoka's clothes from a close proximity, forcing a pink hue in the blond's face. Indeed the rain had gotten a chance to soak into the girls hair, shirt and bottom where she landed. "I'll be fine." Hisoka said bluntly. She really didn't want to make much of the problem, it only drew more attention to her. There were though, some other students drenched from the rain. Hisoka even sighted the rude girls from earlier along the hallway, being harassed by guys that could see through their shirts now thanks to the rain. Hisoka just sighed inwardly and turned away. People like that got little to no respect from the young girl. There was no reason for them to act out their own anger or dispare on others, it made more sense to Hisoka for them to instead hide it deep within themselves. As she had, and still did herself. 'Theres no sense in sharing your sorrow with others...'
"Hijiri-chaaaaan!!" A new voice rang down the hallway, approaching the two freshmen as they trecked their way to class. It forced Hisoka to turn quickly in surprise as Hijiri did so with more of an expectant expression. A tall brunet with the shiniest amethyst eyes skipped the short distance to the pair, Inu ears and tail sprouting from him instantly as he pounced onto Hijiri.
"Hijiri-chaaan! Did you bring sweets for Tsuzuki-chan?!" The scene of the tall and obviously older man snuggling on the young boy startled Hisoka a bit. She was taken back by the obvious closeness and friendship between the two. This new man seemed a bit too old to be a student at the school..maybe a relative..not a teacher of course! Or maybe....? Didn't this school have policies against such a thing? Hisoka noticed that not one person passing by was staring at them, but instead went along with their buisness as if it were common place.
"Aah.. Tsuzuki, I want you to meet someone."
Hisoka snapped from her concentrated state and looked up at the man that was now smiling down at her. He had lost the chibi expression and adorable Inu ears and tail for now, and was framed by a reef of flowers. Atleast in Hisoka's eyes. The man was dressed in a fairly formal suit, a white blouse partially unbuttoned at the top, with black dress pants. Hisoka was captivated by those inhuman violet eyes, his cheerful smile, gracefully toned frame, glowing aura of kindness. She could go on and on, and stare at him the whole day. Or so she thought..
"Ah! Domo." He said cheerfully, leaning close to the girl and causing her to lean back some, a bit taken back by his closeness. "Uh..aa..." Was all Hisoka could manage out, so the man just spoke again. "Asato Tsuzuki des! Whats your name?..." Hijiri watched as Hisoka moved a bit further back as Tsuzuki leaned yet closer, that signature smile on his face.
"Uhm..this is Kurosaki Hisoka. Shes a new student here, and I believe we have a few classes together. Ne Kurosaki-san?"
Hisoka forced herself to look away from Tsuzuki and back to Hijiri. "Un.."
"Aa, well thats good. Hopefully I'll be able to see her around more-Ah! Do you have any sweets Kurosaki-chan?!" Tsuzuki completely changed subjects and regained his inu ears and tail, pressing his body against Hisoka's. "K-Kaaa!" Hisoka squeeled out and wriggled free of his body, blush returning to her cheeks. Tsuzuki blinked and stared at the girl with a confused expression. He took this time as she sheilded herself to look her over, taking in her innocently femine apperances. There was nothing overly voluptious about her body, but she was young and had that youthful beauty. Her eyes were just as captivating as his own, and with those lush eyelashes you couldn't help but zero on in the girls best feature. But then there was the hurt that seemed to eminate from them.
"Your very beautiful!" Tsuzuki chirped out, without second guessing what he would say to the girl. So confident he was. Hijiri merly sweatdropped with a smile and watched as Hisoka's cheeks burned crimson and she stuttered. "I..I...I...." she paused and gripped her fist tight around her books, her eyes open wide in surprise. "B-Bakayaro!" She yelled the words just as the morning bell bagan to sound, giving her good reason to run to her first class. And so she did.
"Kurosaki-san!" Hijiri called out, spinning around to watch as Hisoka ran down the hall. "Hisoka-chaan!" Tsuzuki yelled out at her as well. "Mou...I didn't say anything wrong did I?" Tsuzuki looked down at his young friend with a hurt yet still adorable face.
"I-Iie...I don't believe so.." The green eyed brunet watched the shrinking figure of his new friend along the corridor. Then the ringing bell reminded the youth that standing around like so wouldn't help his grades any. "Ah, gomen Tsuzuki-san, I'll talk to you later, ne?"
"Mm!" Tsuzuki smiled cheerfully watching as Hijiri left as well, a bit hurridly as not to miss role call. His friend was never really one to do such a thing, always a very intelligent boy. A grumbling sound from below changed Tsuzuki's expression from joyful to shocked. "Eeeh!? Hijiri-chan forgot my sweets!" The tears swelled up in his eyes instantly as he stood in the now empty hallway.
Class seemed to drag on, with no breaks for conversation at all. Hisoka was given a good scrutinizing earlier in the class as she was introduced to the class. It didn't help any that one of the trio of girls was seated in the front row and seemed to glare at Hisoka with such evil eyes. The evil girl was just ignored for now though, and Hisoka was seated beside the only friend she had made so far. Minase Hijiri. Hisoka wondered what kind of boy he was. She watched him now, staring attentivly at the teacher, with a slightly more look on his face, his pencil tapping at the paper ready to write. He seemed like such a kind and caring boy, without any troubles at all. The way he just accepted everyone...Hisoka wished she could be the same.
His relationship with that older man intrigued Hisoka as well. She began to blush again thinking about it. Why was he so kind and overly open with Hijiri, even if they were friends, he was very cuddly. Maybe more?! Hisoka shot upright as if someone had shocked her with a tazer, shoving her notes across her desk in the process. Hijiri glanced over at her a bit startled, glancing down at the papers now at her feet.
"Are you ok?..."
Hisoka's eyes widened as she realized what she had just done. Luckily nobody else had taken notice to the girls small outburst. "Mm..I'm allright.." Why was she caring so much anyway? Did it matter that Tsuzuki and Hijiri were close friends? And who was it she was jealous of; Hijiri? Tsuzuki? Or just that she had nobody close to her like that? They were all questions her subconcious asked as she now retrieved her notes and returned to staring at her sensei.
"Ja matane!" Hijiri chirped out, waving yet again to his new friend to which Hisoka just waved back lazily. Class had ended soon enough, though it didn't seem so to the tired blonde. Hijiri was now headed off to another class, and Hisoka was left to find her next class on her own. She watched as her new friend rounded a corner and was gone before turning to leave, her eyes set on the schedule she held. She didnt get very far before bumping into something solid, something she deduced as a human body. Both people let out a grunt and stumbled backward, Hisoka getting the worst of it. She fought to keep her balance, but was quickly loosing the fight and ready to hit the ground if not for the arms that swooped down and cupped her waist.
Hisoka was halted in the odd position, her body at a slant, heels barely on the floor, her arms stretched out over her head, books in hand and the body of her savior in close proximity. She was ready to thank the person, even if she felt a bit odd with them so close to her, that is if she had not seen who it was. Her eyes buldged as she stared up at those wide sparkling violet eyes she rememberd well already. The man just smiled sweetly down at her, as if it was nothing to him.
"Hisoka-chan should be more careful!"
'H-Hisoka...chan..?' Hisoka blushed quickly. "Eh?" Again he had refered to her so informally, and added the very friendly 'chan' as well. What was with this guy?
"I finally get to see you again. You ran off so quickly earlier, I thought you might try to avoid me." Tsuzuki made no effort to change their position and seemed very comfortable as it were. "I didn't scare you or anything, did I?" He had practically hit it right on the money with his last statement. Visually scary he was not, but personality wise he frightened the timid and withdrawn Hisoka. She remained silent and stared up at him, her cheeks even reder than they had gotten earlier. First thing that came to her mind when she sighted him again was what he had said to her earlier. 'Your very beautiful.'......
While Hisoka had been staring, Tsuzuki was awaiting an answer. "Daijoubu?" This time his voice snapped Hisoka from her dream and she put on a cold expression. "I'm fine." she said it very blandly, and waited for Tsuzuki to set her upright. A long enough period of time, only a few seconds actually, went by before he moved and Hisoka added a bit of extra incentive to get herself free. "Would you mind..." She paused and in a smooth and graceful motion brought down her arms and bonked Tsuzuki on the head with her books. "Letting me go now?"
Tsuzuki got a chibi expression from it and remained still as a small tear formed at the corner of one eye. "Haai.." He shook it off and stepped backward, tugging Hisoka's body upright and setting her flat on the ground as he did. Hisoka glanced down at Tsuzuki's arms still wrapped at her waist then back to his face hintingly. "Oop!" Tsuzuki quickly snatched his hands back and scratched at his head a bit embaressed. "Sorry about that..." he blushed ever so slightly, something that didn't go unnoticed by the blonde. Hisoka clentched her books tight at her chest and stared almost wantingly at Tsuzuki's embaressed facade. He was even cuter with that embaressed face, so adorable.
Tsuzuki blinked once noticing her expression. "...?"
"Ah! Nothing..I'm going to be late for class.." It would be expected that after saying the words, she would make an effort to move around the older man and leave. But she stayed still, as if expecting him to move aside and let her pass. Or maybe because, subconciously, she didn't want to leave.
"Heh..I hope you wont be. If so, just tell your sensei you were with me."
Hisoka arched a brow. She failed to realize how confessing she got caught up in the hallway with another student would benifit her any. "How will..that help?"
"Eh? Oh, you don't know do you? I'm a teacher here."
Hisoka's eyes went wide. "Teacher?!" So her assumptions were correct, the older man was a teacher. But then...
"Mou...why do you seem so surprised?" Tsuzuki looked a bit hurt by her words, but not far from carefree.
"Well..." A bit esasperated, Hisoka scratched at her temple slightly. "You aren't exactly teacher material.."
Tsuzuki went chibi and whined aloud, looking more hurt than before. "Mouuu...Hisoka-chan is so meaan!" he stopped and snapped back to normal. "Heh, I guess thats right. Truth is, I'm only a student teacher as of now."
Then it was explained. Though Hisoka thought most student teachers would remain professional most of the time, as to get a good name for themselves. Didn't they have to asert their authority to the students? But this guy was different in many ways, formality included. Hisoka watched now as he moved forward, closer to her as his eyes lite up just slightly. "So...does Hisoka-chan have any sweets?"
"Ugh.." Hisoka slunk backward and gave Tsuzuki an annoyed look. Again with the sweets. "You could try to act a bit more like a teacher, y'know." Tsuzuki just shook his head quickly with a smile, then stepped closer stil to Hisoka. "It doesn't mean I can't like sweets, ne?"
"Stay professional with your students." Hisoka said bluntly, a direct order to his sempai, as if he was his boss or something. Tsuzuki pouted and gave Hisoka his adorable puppy eyes, something that did not affect her in the least. 'Why is she so...' Tsuzuki began to think to himself, but quickly stopped and drew out a long sigh before smiling again. "Seriousness...Hisoka-chan..is saved for the old and weary. You should be more happy."
Hisoka arched a brow and began to make her way around Tsuzuki as time wore down for her to reach her next class. But she was stopped again as Tsuzuki sprung in the way of her path, equipped with inu ears and tail. "Lets get some sweets after school Kurosaki Hisoka-kun." His statement surprised Hisoka as the others had done many times before.
"N-nani?!"
"There is a place that has great cinnamon cakes; Cinnaron, lets get some today. I'd like to get to know Hijiri-chan's friend better."
Was he asking her out on a date? All Hisoka could do was glare at him and try hard to hide her embaressment with anger. Tsuzuki simply put his hands in his pockets casually and moved to the side so Hisoka could get past. Still she didn't move though and instead Tsuzuki walked by her, brushing shoulders with the small blonde.
"Meet me there.." he said in a low and almost sexy voice. Hisoka stood, arms wrapped tightly around her school books as she listened to his footsteps fade down the corridor. A loud ringing signal of the start of her next class was the only thing to snap her from the stunned state.
"Kyaaa! Baka Asato-san!!" In a sudden rush Hisoka was headed off down the hall, mentally forming an excuse or way to blame Tsuzuki for her perdicament. She only hoped his story of being a student teacher was indeed the truth.
