Sawada Haruhime loved spring with a passion few could compete with or comprehend.

Every time spring came around, without fail, the normally calm and kind girl would transform into a ferocious tiger that wouldn't hesitant to maul anyone that came in her way.

Mochida Kensuke learned this the hard way when he, on the first day of spring, tried to harass her.

He and his lackeys had walked up to her while she was sitting under one of the trees in the courtyard playing with the flowers that grew around it, stopping in front of her with a cocky grin on his face, waiting for her to look up at him.

Except, she didn't even appear to notice he was there, merely continuing to braid the flowers into a crown. This had made him angry, leading to him taking the flowers from her, making her head snap up to look at him.

But instead of the scared look they had become familiar with, Sawada had a glare on her face that could rival that of Hibari Kyoya, the schools demonic perfect.

The girl had sneered at Mochida, standing up and holding out her hand.

"Give… That… Back."

Mochida and his goons had taken a step back at the growl, a shocked look on their faces before it past, a sneer working it's way onto their faces as well.

"Or what? You'll rat us out to your mommy?"

The three boys began to laugh at what they undoubtedly thought was the best insult in the world, while Sawada took a deep breath and gave them a serene smile.

Right before her fist broke Mochida's nose.

Sawada then proceeded to beat the three boys, who were all two years older than her, black and blue before leaving them a twitching mess on the ground after she got her crown back.

That was the day everybody in Namimori learned a valuable lesson.

Never piss off Sawada Haruhime in spring. You'd regret it instantly.

Haruhime, age 7.

Haru was excited, today was her birthday and her Mum had said she had a special present for her!

Right now, she and her Mama was following one of Mum's fairies through the forest, letting it lead them to the lake in the middle of the thick woods.

Haru tucked on her Mama's hand, making her look at her.

"What is it Haru-chan?"

Haru looked at her Mama with wide eyes.

"Mama, do you know what Mum's special present is?"

Her Mama gave her an amused smile.

"Yes I do Haru-chan, but Cassandra-Sama made me promise to keep it secret."

She pouted.

"But why?"

Mama chuckled.

"Because she want it to be a surprise."

Haru's pout became more pronounced, before she gave up. There was no convincing her Mama to tell her something her Mum wanted to keep secret.

They walked in silence, the only sound coming from the many animals that resided in her Mum's forest, relishing in the feeling of life she gave off.

When Haru spotted the lake from in between some trees, she let go of her Mama's hand and ran to the lake.

She could hear her Mama's chuckles behind her.

"Not so fast Haru-chan! I don't run as fast as you!"

Haru simply grinned, bursting out from the trees and jumping into the waiting arms of her Mum.

"Mum!"

Her Mum gave a soft laugh.

"Hello, Little Flower. I see you left Nana-san behind again."

Haru grinned sheepishly up at her Mum, who's green eyes were sparkling with mirth.

"Sorry, but I've missed you!"

Her Mum chuckled.

"I have missed you as well, Little Flower."

Her Mama came out from the trees, smiling at them.

"It's good to see you again, Cassandra-Sama."

Her Mum smiled at her Mama.

"Likewise, Nana-san. I trust you didn't tell her?"

Mama chuckled.

"No, she tried to use the 'Puppy Eyes Of Doom' on me, but I valiantly resisted."

Mum let out a bell-like laugh as Haru pouted, letting go of her Mum and crossing her arms.

"I can imagine."

Mum looked down at her, smiling at her.

"Now, I think it's time for presents?"

Haru instantly brighten, giving her Mum a huge smile.

"Yes!"

Mum laughed, waving two fairies over.

Haru looked curiously at the small pouch the two fairies were holding between them with the help of two leather strings.

The fairies placed the pouch in Mum's outstretched hand, before flying back to the bush they had been sitting on.

Mum turned to her, smiling.

"I think you've earned this, Haruhime."

Haru looked at her Mum with a confused expression, making Mum's smile widen.

"Remember Haruhime, you are a fairy."

Haru nodded.

"And what do all fairies have?"

"Wings…"

Haru's eyes widened as she looked at her Mother in shock.

"You-You mean…?"

Her Mother nodded, her smile wide.

"I think it's time you got your wings, Little Princess."

Haru began to grin, jumping up and down as she screamed with glee.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Her Mother's laughed at her excitement.

"Alright, alright Haru, calm down."

Haru stopped jumping around, looking up at her Mum expectantly.

The Fairy Queen smiled.

"Stand still Love."

Haru did as she was told as her Mother stuck her hand in the pouch, taking out some glowing, golden powder.

Fairy Dust.

Her Mother threw the dust into the air over her, letting it slowly fall down on her in a rain of gold.

She began to sing.

When the Moon comes up to the shine come face

The birds are fast asleep.

When the lanterns hang from every post

The fairies leave the keep.

They join their hands and sing their songs

That nary a soul can hear.

In the springtime when the earth is new

To the fairies they draw near

To the fairies they draw near.

As she sang she walked behind her, placing her pressed together forefinger and thumb between her shoulder blades.

When she finished, she drew her hand back, fingers still pressed together. And as her hands drew back, wings appeared on her daughter's back in a shower of golden Fairy Dust.

Cassandra let her hands fall to her sides as she took in her daughter's new wings.

The wings were the same transparent colour as that of her fairies, but the lines that made up the design on them were orange instead of white, making her daughter all the more beautiful.

"Mum, can I see them?"

Her daughter's excited voice broke her out of her trance as she smiled.

"Of course you can love."

Haru turned her head to look at her new appendages, her eyes widening as she took in the beautiful wings.

"Can... Can I fly now?"

She smiled at her daughter's quiet question.

"Of course you can Haru, They're not just for decoration."

She walked up to her daughter, taking her hands and lifting her up, her wings fluttering a little in surprise.

Cassandra talked her daughter through the process of using one's wings and soon, the little girl was zooming around in the clearing, the fairies allowing her to chase them in a game of tag.

It was around sundown she finally came down, exhausted, but happy.

Cassandra stood up from where she had been sitting on the grass talking to Nana-san, walking over to her daughter and looking at her with a serious expression.

"Haruhime, I need you to listen and remember."

Haru nodded her head tiredly.

"Now that you have your wings, you have to keep them hidden from the mortals, understand?"

Haru nodded again, listening as Cassandra told her how to hide her wings.

She got it after a few tries, her wings disappearing in a shower of golden dust.

"Good, now."

Cassandra held up the pouch of Fairy Dust.

"Right now, the only way for you to bring out your wings is for your back to come in contact with Fairy Dust. This is all I will give you right now, so use it sparingly. I will give you some more next year if you show me you can handle the responsibility."

Her daughter nodded, taking the pouch and putting it around her neck.

Cassandra smiled at her, before gently picking her up and walking over to her mortal mother.

"Now you two get home. It's getting late and I need to go. One of the fairies will show you the way."

She tried to give Haru to Nana-san, but she held on tight to her shirt, burying her head in her chest.

"Goodbye Mum. I love you."

She smile as Haru let go, letting Nana-san take her from her arms.

"I love you too, Little Flower."

She watched as the mortal walked away with her daughter, a sad smile on her lips.

"Stay safe, my Spring Princess."
