AN: Hello, everyone this is GroundZeroFirework with her first Strawberry Panic fic. Now this little fic takes place like…a year after the anime. It's OC-centric though. Also, this is OC x Canon. I'm sure you guys saw that before clicking this. Now, as much as I'm a big fan of Chikaru x Shion Fics, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, try my hand at something new (the new being Yuri fics) and write an OC x Chikaru fic. Also, some things you need to know:
"Italics" – Ritsu speaking in front of the camera or flashback, depending on context.
'Italics' – Thoughts.
Now, without further ado, let's get this thing on.
CHAPTER I:
IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE
Ah, Astraea Hill. A little sacred ground in an area in Japan. A safe haven for women with its three all girls schools; Miator, Spica and Lulim. Men aren't allowed on this little slice of the Earth for fear of tainting it. As of now, a new school year has started and little did most of the students know is that they were getting transferees. In the middle of June.
"Ne, Nagisa-chan, what do you think those new transferees will be like?" asked Tamao Suzumi as they walked to the cafeteria. Nagisa looked at her best friend; still reeling in from the happiness of making up with her. After what happened in the Etoile elections and all, it seemed as if the two would never be friends again. Luckily, after some time, Tamao had made it clear that she had forgiven them and all was well once again after a few tears. Nagisa is still going strong with Shizuma, despite the fact that she's in a University in Tokyo with Miyuki. They made the relationship work by writing each other letters whenever Shizuma couldn't visit. As for Miyuki, she finally managed to pluck up the courage to stand up to her father and break off the engagement that's been pre-set for her. After a series of arguments, Miyuki won her freedom without losing her standing in the family. It sure as hell helped that Shizuma managed to dig up some dirt on the guy she was supposed to marry. The guy was a disrespectful scumbag when in private with Miyuki but is a total gentleman in front of their relatives. Now, Miyuki is free to love whoever she wishes. However, there was something Nagisa and Shizuma notice; whenever they visit, Miyuki and Tamao spend a lot of time together that some people are starting to gossip but whenever they ask; they claim nothing's happening. Nagisa remembered Shizuma's analogy of them all of a sudden.
"Wow…it's like the Loch Ness Monster from Scotland between those two; you'd think there's something there sometimes, then sometimes there isn't."
"Ne, Na-gi-sa-chan!" Tamao called for her. Nagisa snapped out of her musings.
"Ah, sorry, Tamao-chan. What was that?" She asked her friend.
"I asked what do you think the transferees will be like?"
"Eh? I can't say that for sure but I hope we can get along with them. They're legacies, right? Don't you have to meet them?" Nagisa asked her. Tamao rubbed her head and smiled.
"Right. I forgot. I gotta run, Nagisa-chan. See ya later." Tamao said before running off for the Sister's office. Nagisa waved and smiled. Before Miyuki graduated, she groomed Tamao to become the next Student Council president with Chihaya and Mizushima as her VPs. Much to their surprise, no one stood against Tamao's campaign and she won by a landslide. Aside from a few lapses, Tamao is a very capable and a responsible Student Council President. Truth be told, Nagisa wasn't even supposed to know about the transfer students until earlier this morning. Only the two Etoiles, the Sisters and the Student Councils of the three schools were supposed to know but she's known about them for a month because Tamao told her about them.
'I hope we can get along with them. They will be attending Miator after all.' Nagisa thought as she kept walking to the cafeteria.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the town near Astraea, a limo was travelling to St. Miator. It was carrying 2 girls, their mother and the girls' dogs.
"Why? Just tell me why? Give me one goddamn good reason in God's green Earth why we have to go to Astraea?" One of the girls angrily asked.
"Because it's tradition, Ritsuko." Their mother said with a sigh as she rubbed her forehead. The woman, Takara Yamato, was wearing a nice business dress; a peach colored pencil skirt, white blouse and a peach colored blazer with a matching set of high heels and genuine pearls around her neck. Her brown hair was barely showing signs of graying and her green eyes showed some weariness, amplified by the few traces of wrinkles around it.
"Oh, tradition. Might as well just ask us to go roll naked in the snow at Christmas during a blizzard while sniffing cocaine. Yeah, that would be a better tradition than this." The girl, Ritsuko, said with a huff as she crossed her arms. "It's tradition that our brother is freezing his ass off in Hokkaido while we're shipped off to an all girls school."
The younger one beside her simply stayed silent but felt excited on the inside for a new experience.
"Hey, Marika. You okay?" Ritsuko asked her adopted sister.
"I'm fine, nee-chan." She answered with a smile. Ritsuko smiled and patted her head before taking a deep breath.
"I still don't see why we have to go." She said as she rubbed her face. Takara sighed once again. She had no idea what she was going to do with her eldest daughter. Her 2 older daughters were opposites in most things but they still love each other all the same. Same goes for her son, Subaru, when it comes to his siblings. Subaru and Marika were neutral about the transfer but Ritsu…Ritsu made no effort to hide her disdain for the transfer. The girl openly defies major changes. It's like she's terrified of it. However, their father, Kojiro, would have none of it. And so the girls were being sent to St. Miator in Astraea Hill while Subaru was sent to St. James Boys Academy in Hokkaido, where their father went. They already had their chance of going to a coed school in the country but they had a tradition to keep up with and Takara would be damned if she was going to break it. Besides, her girls would get the best quality of education there. And nothing but the best for Mama Yamato's little girls.
Ritsu was steaming on the inside. She was perfectly fine at the coed academy. She and her siblings got to stay together there and they had such great friends. With a huff, she examined herself. Half-ponytail? Check. Glasses? Check. Blue blouse? Check. Tie? Check. Vest? Check. Jacket? Check. Watch? Check. Jeans? Check. Socks? Check. Knee-high boots? Check. All in all, she looked presentable enough. Marika, meanwhile, wore a white, puffy, knee length skirt, boots and a red dress shirt with a black tie.
"Nee-chan, I think we should start." Marika told her. Ah, yes. Ritsu is a bit of a celebrity it both the States and Japan. Same with Marika and Subaru. See, Ritsu is a video game reviewer. Like a tame version of the Angry Video Game Nerd (though she does have her moments of getting angry) while Marika and Subaru are models. In fact, their family was rich to begin with; they own a huge chain of 5 star restaurants and hotels in the States as well as a huge chain of coffee shops in Japan. In both countries; you have to have been in a coma or a newborn to not know the name 'Yamato'. Not only that, they're also shareholders in some huge companies in Japan. Yep. That was the empire that their Great-Great Grandfather built.
"Yeah, we should." Ritsu decided as she turned the limo's lights on as Marika set the camera up. Just as she signaled Ritsu to start, she did.
"Hey, cubs. GamerBear here. Now, I'm sure all of you are wondering why SisterBear and I here are dressed like we're going to Hogwarts or some shit like that. And I bet you're also wondering why we're in a limo or better yet, where's BrotherBear? Well, first off, BrotherBear is freezing his balls off in St. James Boys Academy in Hokkaido. SisterBear and I…" She paused for a moment as a look of horror was seen on her face. "…we have it worse. Lemme show you."
Marika picked up the camera and the upper hatch of the limo opened. They stood up and Marika pointed the camera forward. The chapel could be seen from where they are. Which is a little ways away from the town near Astraea. Eventually, they sat back down.
"See that? That big ass Chapel you can see from a mile away? Yeah? Well, that's Astraea Hill. A sacred ground upon which no man may ever lay foot upon. Surprise, surprise. No wonder it's named Astraea, the virgin goddess of innocence and purity. Moving on. In this hill lies three all girls schools; St. Miator, St. Spica and St. Lulim. Ever heard of those saints?" She asked before pausing for a moment. With a small frown, she continued. "I haven't either. Must be Japan exclusive saints. At least, you've heard of St. James. Now, based on what I've heard; St. Lulim Girls' School is the youngest of these three and it's just like any Japanese school in this country; liberal, fun and sailor uniforms. Reminds me of the coed academy we used to go to before we got uprooted like weeds!"
She ended the statement by stomping her foot at the floor of the limo before taking a deep breath.
"Hoo, I gotta calm down. Now, the second school is St. Spica's Girls' Institute. No, it's not that type of institute. Now, Spica was built like fifty or so years after St. Miator, I think. This school prides itself in producing independent women…and its sports teams. Seriously; if you ever want Astraea Hill to compete Nationals in Sports, then St. Spica is your best bet in getting good competition. They're best sport is equestrianism though. Wonder how many schools have that? Now, the last. The last is the shit. I don't mean the good shit. I mean the old fashioned type of shit. SisterBear and I are going to St. Miator's…"
Ritsu mocked horror and fright at the moment and acted like she was having a heart attack on camera. After a while, she settled and continued on.
"Now, St. Miator's Girls' Academy. That's right; I have to go here. Why? Tradition from my mother's family, that's why! That's right; we're going here, MamaBear went here, GrandmamaBear went here, Great GrandmamaBear went here and Great-Great GrandmamaBear went here! Soon enough BabySisterBear's gonna have to go here while her twin, BabyBrotherBear's gonna get shipped off to Hokkaido like BrotherBear, PapaBear, GrandpapaBear, Great GrandpapaBear and Great-Great GrandpapaBear before him! Okay, back to topic. What can I say about St. Miator's? It's very old fashioned since it was built like a hundred years ago and it's very good at upholding tradition apparently. This place is a school for brides. I shit you not. We have subjects like tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Japanese dancing. What's next? How to be a good stay at home wife? Is that gonna be a subject too? No wonder St. Spica makes fun of you; you're too traditional. Get with the times! Oh god!" Ritsu continued one before pretending to cry and burying her face in Marika's chest, who patted her head in mock sympathy.
"Okay, let's continue on." She said as she pretended to wipe her tears. "Like I said, St. Spica and St. Miator often clash but that's because St. Miator is too traditional while St. Spica is more on the independent side and St. Lulim just sits on the sidelines like a person watching Wimbledon. Astraea Hill has the Etoile system. It's French for 'Star' for those who don't know. Now, the Etoile is something that Spica and Miator fight for all the time while, again, Lulim just sits on the sidelines like someone watching a tennis game. But whichever school has the student that holds the title of Etoile gets the most influence out of all three schools in Astraea Hill. What exactly an Etoile does? I have no fuckin' idea. The last person to become Etoile in our family is GrandmamaBear and she's in Osaka. A couple of years back, it was St. Miator who had the Etoile but winter last year, the elections happened again since the Etoile was graduating and this time, it's Spica who has the Etoile. Good for them."
Ritsu paused for a bit and took a deep breath before continuing.
"You guys must be wondering why I'm telling you this. It's not just to give you a bird's eye view of what you guys could never see unless you're a girl, no. This is because this is going to be the last episode of GamerBear Reviews before we go on hiatus. Like I said, St. Miator, or rather all of Astraea Hill's schools, are strict; therefore no computers, no cellphones, no game consoles. So until the summer break starts in the last days of July and I get back home, there will be no new episodes. And that's even assuming if we don't have the summer school that my mother said Astraea Hill usually has but I think that's only for the first to fourth years. Anyway, that also means that unlike last year, we won't be having a Halloween special. But there will be a Christmas Special and we'll have this new trend we like to call "The 12 day Fuckfest" and no, it's not that type of fuckfest. In St. James, they became more flexible there as the years went by so BrotherBear has computer and internet there and he's the one who'll be uploading this like always. But now, let's start this review with Tiger Electronic's GameCom!"
As Ritsu said that, she pulled out a handheld game console that looked like an unholy mash of a PSP and a Gameboy Advance but looks just about half as thick as a PS1.
"Yep, this ugly beast. Now, I'm sure all of you are wondering how I can just easily throw and destroy some of the games and consoles I use in my reviews. Alright, time for another history lesson. As you all know, PapaBear was born in 1960 in New York and being the son of a 5 star hotels and 5 star restaurants mogul, anything he asked, he received. Now when the first Atari came out in 1977, he decided back then that he had to collect them. So when he asked GrandpapaBear for an Atari 2600, he got 2 of them; one for preservation and one for use. Everything he got had to be in twos back then. Games and consoles. Of course, PapaBear only got things from the big companies so no, ColecoVision or some shit like that for him for some reason but if his interest is piqued then he'll buy it. Though I have no idea why he bought some of the shitty pieces like the 7800. But when I was born and was old enough to be playing at the age of…5 or 6 I think, back then the PS1 was just released so he got 3 of them this time. One for preservation, one for him and one for me. Same thing went with the games. Sometimes, I love being rich. And as the years went by, when we adopted Subaru and Marika, we now had 5 of everything. One for each of us and one for preservation. E-Even the shitty consoles that he wanted back then, we had to get one too. Never thought they'd be useful for this type of gig though. God only knows what'll happen when Kohaku and Raiden grow up though. So, there you have it; that's why I can easily dispose of things. And my dad is an excellent tracker of rare items so he can easily replace them. But back to the GameCom."
Ritsu turned the handheld console on and the start up initiated. She looked at the camera with an annoyed look on her face.
"Hear that obnoxious start up? Yeah? That's the GameCom. So, this thing was released in 1997. I was 7 years old at the time when my dad bought this for me and back then, I didn't know any better. I didn't know which one was crap and which one wasn't. Anyway, this thing was supposed to be a console and a PDA wrapped into one." Ritsu explained as she showed its features and Marika zoomed the camera in on the "Can you believe that? No? Then would you also believe that this ugly piece of shit had its own modem? No? Well it does! Jesus Christ, a big ass modem that I had no idea how you were gonna carry around! Trust me; I have that modem and I tried carrying that around and I looked like complete idiot! Anyways, let's play some games. Let's try…uh…Mortal Kombat trilogy."
She slapped the game on and saw something that was not suitable for something like this. On second thought, it was suitable.
"What the holy flying fuck? What am I looking at? This is Mortal Kombat? The fuck? Scorpion isn't even here and it's hard to control somebody. It's an abomination. This version is suitable for this console, alright. A suitable piece of shit."
She opened the window and threw the cartridge out.
"Whoever finds that better not own a GameCom. I would not wish this thing on the person I hate the most in this world. Now, let's try…Indy 500."
She slapped it on and after a couple of minutes of gameplay, Marika pointed the camera at her just in time to catch that defeated look on her face and throw the game out the window yet again before brandishing the Resident Evil 2 cartridge.
"Resident Evil 2. Can't go wrong with a Capcom game." She said as she put it in. She started the game and Ritsu looked like she actually wanted to cry. Even Marika wanted to cry; it looks like crap.
"No…no…no…NO! They butchered Resident Evil 2! One of my favorites! What the fuck? Is this supposed to be the site of the crash where Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield got separated? Sure as hell doesn't look like it! There isn't even a cutscene and the controls are shit! The graphics are terrible! A Gameboy Color could work better than this! By the time you figure out how to aim or shoot or even fuckin' turn, you're dead! You're already dead! You're a dead man walking! Can't even fuckin' push it off! I need a drink."
Like always when she's stressed out by such horrible machinations of mankind, Ritsu pulled out a bottle of Sapporo Beer from her jacket and opened it to drink.
"Much better. Anyway, this thing is shit! Don't play it. Don't find it! I don't care if you're a fuckin' collector. This ain't worth your cash! I have to get rid of this. Marika!"
"Ready!" Marika said with a thumbs up as the hatch opened above them. They stood up and Ritsu brandished the in front of the camera. They were near the sea now.
"It's refreshing to see that we're about to be released from the clutches of this piece of shit. So, in the words of the Japanese; SAYONARA, YOU FUCKTARD!"
With that said, Ritsu threw the to the sea with Marika tracking it with the camera. They sat down yet again and Marika set the camera on the tripod.
"Well, that thing was one useless piece of plastic. Sad to say this'll be the last episode for a while. But before we sign off; I should give you guys the mechanics to the 12 day Fuckfest; as you know my family is good at tracking rare things down but sometimes we just don't have time to do so. We are neither infallible or perfect or all knowing, so if you know any shitty games that you don't want to play and you want me to review please send it to this address that BrotherBear has probably edited in. Please remember that we're only accepting 12 shitty games and consoles. That's kinda the point of Fuckfest. But if no one sends anything; that's fine. We still have a couple of shitty games at home; we just want to see if you guys have any good suggestions in shitty games. Well, we're nearing Astraea and we'll have to sign off soon. So, until next time, my cubs, Good bye and see you this summer."
Both Marika and Ritsu waved at the camera before Marika turned it off. Ritsu continued to drink her beer as the limo now started driving up the hill.
"We're close, aren't we?" She asked as she looked out the window.
"Yep." Marika said as she drank some soda that she got from the mini fridge. Their mother was quietly conversing with their father on the phone; no doubt checking if Subaru made it safely to Hokkaido with him. Eventually, she hung up and patted the two pugs snoozing at her feet before looking out the window.
"Oh, I remember the days when I used to go here. Every weekend some friends and I would go out to town to eat or have fun and come back before curfew." Takara said, earning a snort from Ritsuko as she crossed her arms and took a huge gulp of her beer.
"Some fun." She mumbled out.
"Oh look, there are the gates." Their mother pointed out as she looked out the windshield after knocking on the divider. Ritsu and Marika looked on as well and the older girl started getting nervous. Sure, Astraea Hill schools are usually for the wealthy and upper middle class but this is just plain excessive. Who the hell arrives for their first day of school on a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Limousine? It was embarrassing enough to show up to school waving the name 'Yamato' around like a red flag at a football game. It's way too embarrassing to be doing that and arriving at school in a limo.
"Don't worry, you two. They'll take good care of you. Especially since Sister Hamasaka's still in charge." Takara said with a smile on her face as the divider closed yet again. With a defeated sigh, Ritsu finished her beer and threw the bottle in the trash can as the limo entered the gates and finally came to a stop. Looking out the window, Marika saw three girls from all three schools and an older lady, whom she suspects to be the Sister, standing there waiting for them.
"Stay here, you two. Okay?" Takara told them as she patted their heads before walking out of the car on the left door. They both watched their mother converse with the Sister and give the girl from Lulim a short embrace, much to their surprise.
"You know something, Mari? I'm gonna try and get myself expelled from this place. Watch." The older Yamato said before approaching the fridge and grab a bottle of Sapporo beer. Marika her hand immediately.
"Nee-chan, don't. Who's going to take care of me if you get expelled?" She asked with puppy dog eyes that made Ritsu go weak at the knees.
"Fine." She said in surrender before sitting down, subconsciously putting the beer in her jacket's inner pocket. After a few minutes, their mother knocked on Marika's door and made a gesture for them to come outside. Ritsu sighed and nodded.
"Stay here. I'll open the door for you." She told her sister.
"You don't have to." Marika protested with a pout at being treated like a child.
"Nope. Little sisters deserve to be treated like Princesses. Who do you think taught Subaru to be a gentleman?" She teased with a smirk on her face before getting out of the car. Her mother was still conversing with Miator's sister and the girls who she suspects to be the Student Council Presidents. The girl from Miator looked nice, the girl from Spica had something they like to call the forehead of doom and she looks strict. The girl from Lulim meanwhile had long luscious black hair and amber eyes that matches her pretty face and a nice body. The girl had her attention that much is sure. And Ritsu was staring at her long enough for her to notice. The girl gave her a cute smile and Ritsu noticed her lips. Those luscious red lips that look so soft. She wonders what it would feel like on her own. She noticed that the girl's mouth was moving as if she was saying something; which immediately snapped her out of her reverie.
"Eh?" She mumbled out loud as she arrived at Marika's door.
"I said your beer is showing." The girl said as she pointed to Ritsu's jacket. Looking down, she saw that the beer bottle has somehow tilted inside her jacket and was now rearing its spout. Worst of all, the Sapporo tag could be seen. The Student Council Presidents of Miator and Spica were shocked, the Sister did not look impressed and her mother…well…let's just say her mother looks like God has taken her soul way too soon. Burning red from the embarrassment, Ritsu turned around, tossed the bottle in and held her hand out for Marika to take.
'I think I'll just not ask what took her so long.' Marika thought as she took her sister's hand. Once she was out of the car, the sisters approached their mother. Ritsu, as usual, was trying to be cold and aloof while Marika was her usual cheerful self. The older girl was refusing to meet the eyes of the people who came out to meet them while Marika greeted them with a soft smile.
"Sister Hamasaka, ladies, these are my daughters; Ritsuko and Marika. Girls, this is Sister Hamasaka and the Presidents of the three schools; Tamao Suzumi-san, Shion Toumori-san and Chikaru Minamoto-san." Their mother introduced them.
"Hajemimashite." Marika said as she bowed. Ritsu simply followed her lead. The moment they straightened up, Ritsu looked to the side again as if there was something interesting in the trees.
"Ah, I know you. I've seen you on Youtube! You're GamerBear!" Chikaru Minamoto exclaimed. The girls from Miator and Spica looked at her in confusion and Ritsu, who was looking away earlier, suddenly snapped her head to face the girl with an expression that makes her look like she was a deer caught in the headlights.
"Youtube is the American NicoNico! And she reviews video games and consoles there! With a lot of profanity in it too." The President of Lulim explained with a smile to her fellow students.
"I don't suppose Sister Hamasaka knew that, right?" Marika asked their mother, who shook her head in response.
"Forgive me for not informing you, Sister. My eldest has a bit of an attitude problem. I was hoping sending her here could straighten her out."
It's no surprise that her mother would tell people that. Even her teachers from the States say that she has an attitude problem.
"Of course, Yamato-san. We'll take good care of your girls. Suzumi-kaichou will give them a tour of St. Miator later on once they've settled in. For now, we'll leave you to say your good bye."
With that said, Sister Hamasaka and the girls left, leaving the Yamato's on their own. As they walked, Chikaru looked back at the family. The mother was talking to her children, Ritsu and Marika, if she wasn't mistaken. All of a sudden, two fawn pugs ran up to them from the car and started circling her.
"Minamoto-san, you seem interested in Ritsuko-san." Tamao said upon observing her fellow student. Chikaru, however, simply gave her a sly smile.
"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not." She said before turning her eyes up front.
"You'll both be fine here. We know it. We trust you both. Just take care of each other and you'll be fine." Takara told her two girls. It felt like it was just yesterday; Ritsu was just a baby in her arms and Marika was a baby in her bassinet in the hospital. Now, they're all grown up and attending boarding school. Same goes for her son. She could've sworn that just yesterday, Subaru was just a frightened 12 year old who had no idea of what happened to his parents.
"We will, Mom." Ritsu answered as she held tightly to her sister's hand. Their mother put a hand to her cheek as tears fell from her eyes. They both gathered their things and the pugs were following them around, begging for attention. Ritsu and Marika kneeled and patted their respective dogs. The male dog was Ritsu's while the female was Marika's. They've had the pugs since they were just puppies and it was hard to be separated from them.
"Hey, Edgar, Terra. Sorry buddies. We have to go away for awhile." Marika greeted them with a sad smile. Edgar Roni Pugaro and Terra Pugford gave a whine with what seems to be a sad look on their faces. And yes; they were named after Edgar and Terra from Final Fantasy VI.
"We'll be back. But until then, you both have to watch over Kohaku and Raiden, alright?" Ritsu ordered them. The pugs both barked at the same time as if they understood and were agreeing to the order.
"Good doggies." The younger of the Yamato siblings praised them before kissing them and patting them one last time. Ritsu stood up and approached their mother and gave her a hug.
"Did Subaru make it okay?" She asked during the hug.
"Yes, sweetie." Takara answered as she embraced her eldest.
"Please send him the camera and tell him, Dad, Kohaku and Raiden that we love them." She mumbled as Marika joined in the hug.
"I will."
"We love you, mom." Marika said as tears fell from her face.
"I love you too. Both of you." Takara answered as she separated from them. Both the girls already had their things and all that was left now was for their mother to leave the hill and go home to Tokyo.
"It's Saturday tomorrow. You both can pick your bikes up at the pier. And you can place it near Astraea Dorms. You have special permission. I love you both. Good bye." She said before getting back on the limo with Edgar and Terra.
"Bye." They both sullenly said as they waved. Eventually, the limo was gone from their sight. Marika clutched to Ritsuko's arm tightly. And she could feel that her younger sister was crying. She's not used to being separated from their parents and Subaru and it finally got to her.
"Oi, stop crying." Ritsu reprimanded her as she patted her head.
"I'm scared, nee-chan." She said as she wiped her tears away. Ritsu sighed and faced her before clutching her shoulders.
"Hey, you don't have to be scared. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. Come on." She gently said as she wiped her sister's tears away before taking her hand and walking to the dorms.
Now their new life in Astraea starts. And this is just Day 1 of their New Year.
AN: And that's Chapter I. I hope everybody found this chapter interesting. This is just an introductory thing so nothing major is happening yet. Also in Chapter II, familiar faces pay Astraea a visit. I have to warn you that I have a personal rule that if this story garners positive reviews or no reviews at all, then this story stays on the archive. But if this story gets a lot of negatives, then I will be deleting this because what would be the point of continuing with this story. Anyway, that's Chapter I. Please leave your reviews and your favorites. I would really appreciate them. Thanks. :D
