The second day of school, that did not happen went by quickly, Yotsuba slept that whole day after Mizune left, and once she did wake up she played Trinity Universe and taught Betrice-Olette how to play Kingdom Hearts 2.
The next day was still gray, the skies not looking as if they were going to clear up until a couple days. It smelt like fresh rain with a mixture of flowers. The school day was boring as well, all they did was take notes and catch up on the work that was supposed to be done yesterday along with today's. Lunchtime came as most people stayed inside, since it looked as if it were going to start pouring at any minute.
Yotsuba had left her class as soon as the bell rang for lunch; she dispersed out of the school, standing in the cloudy weather. She stood under a wall that had an outstretched roof, like a canopy.
Meanwhile in the class, Shirayuki was sitting along with her sister Yuki. Yuki had the same class as Mizune, 1-B. Neither of them spoke much, but when Mizune entered class 1-A, he noticed no Yukito or Yotsuba. He walked over to Yuki and Shirayuki, pulling a chair up to them. "Do you mind if I join you both for lunch today?"
Shirayuki just shook her head no, as her sister gave a sincere smile, "Oh you're always welcome Mizune! ~. We're actually discussing about Yotsuba and Betrice-Olette."
"Wait, isn't Betrice-Olette that ghost girl Yotsuba was researching, but didn't she call that off?" Mizune asked then thought of it for a moment, "Did Yotsuba recruit you into our investigation group. If she did I'm really sorry, she has a habit of that"
Shirayuki again only shook her head no, but to the last part of Mizune's question. "Well, we can trust you, as long as you don't say anything, we are researching Yotsuba, she has…how should I say it…she 'peaked' our interests. She's a very special girl, but anyways, for our research, we need to know your 'relationship' with her" Yuki spoke in a more mature voice, she had such an elegant and beautiful tone, it could make any man fall for her in an instant.
Mizune's face flustered up so quickly, faster than a pen dropping to the ground, "Oh…um…um…well…" he then referred back to his memories
'The first day we met…was when we were nine years old, her third day here in Japan…she was such a lonely girl then…' Mizune had thought to himself, as then he had his first memory of Yotsuba come to the surface, his face just spread a happy 'in love' smile, though it was not on purpose.
Once long ago, six years ago, on a sunny summer day at a park, as a small Mizune was being bullied again like usual.
"You are such a weakling! That'll teach you to ever go near her again! Go find another girl to flirt with!" a boy with spiky blue hair spoke, as Mizune had scrapes and cuts bleeding onto the dirt, he had tears in the beds of his eyes.
At the same time a small girl with her hair in a beautiful pony tail, her bangs in her face, as there was a golden pin in it, while wearing a white sun dress with a violet belt with white flats with a golden bow.
'I remember her sad emerald green eyes, all innocence lost, like they vanished out of them, her alone for that time.'
She noticed the pain I was in as soon as we met eyes, ever since then I felt a bond with her.
The small girl ran over to the younger Mizune's side, her kneeling down beside him, pulling out a white handkerchief with the initials 'Y.S.' in gold. She wiped his eyes away along with the blood from the small cut on his cheek; she then looked up at the group of three boys.
"Are you so weak that you rage against others?" was the first thing she spoke, her voice beautiful, even at a young age, she held herself like a woman.
Mizune merely blushed as he continued to cry, but him hiding his face, as the same boy whom spoke first threw a punch towards the small girl, "You have no right to criticize, and you can't fight to stand up by your words! Just go away and play with your dolls!" the boy spoke until Yotsuba caught his fist and twisted his arm until she had it behind his back, her then kicking him to his stomach, her foot against his back. "I have more strength than you, even though I already lost everything, leave before I have to do more damage…" her tone was darker but still as beautiful.
The two boys ran away then once Yotsuba allowed the third one to get up he ran like a bat out of hell. She then held her small pale hand out to Mizune; him taking it lightly, his hand was dirty from the dirt being kicked onto him. "I'm sorry for this informal greeting, I am Yotsuba Suzumiya, I am new to this country and I notice so far the boys are not much different then in Great Britain." She spoke until she heard footsteps run up from behind, it was a boy that looked like her exact clone, him standing in front of Yotsuba, then turning to her to make sure she was alright, I remember the glare that boy gave, and now to think of it, now we are friends, Yukito was a frightened little child back then…and whom can blame him…they lost their parents one week prior to coming to Japan…
Mizune finally came back to reality by Yuki snapping her fingers in front of Mizune's face, "Hello…? Are you going to answer my question?"
Mizune looked up with a 'huh' expression on his face, "Oh I'm sorry, your question just reminded me of when I first met Yotsuba a bit back…I guess I'd say I care for her very much…." He muttered in a low voice.
"Oh, we see, just we hope you do not interfere in our studies, our main priority is Miss Yotsuba though." Yuki spoke with a colder tone this time.
At the same time Yotsuba was showered by the harsh rain that began to pour, her having to go back inside, changing into her p.e sweats and shirt.
Once the day ended, the rained had clear and both Yukito and Mizune were searching for Yotsuba.
Meanwhile a tall male, standing at 6'0 even with a more feminine male that looked exactly like him just with long pink hair. The pink haired male was named Sakura, him and his younger twin brother Ichigo were considered the shojo fan girls dream boys. Ichigo had slightly spiky hair, but his hair was also a bit long, it came almost down to his shoulders, as his brother on the other hand had his long silky pink hair reach the bottom of his tailbone. Both their eyes were emerald green with traces of a hot pink in them; they had been walking home with their long time family friend and his little sister Akane.
Kiba's hair was normal length as his pale dark green hair hid his eyes; no one saw his eyes besides his little sister Akane. The little girl had reddish orange hair that had tints of pink, with the bobby up style along with two cherry blossom pins on each bobby that hid the upper jaw line. Her eyes were a yellowish red, and she wore a yellow tank top that was quite long, showing the lower parts of her blue shorts and her white fold over socks and red shoes with white lightning bolts.
Akane skipped ahead as she then stopped, noticing a brunette girl sitting on a swing, tears running down her cheeks. This girl was Yotsuba, why was she crying, it was quite unknown.
The small girl ran back to her much older brother and his two friends. "Saku chan! Ichi chan! Kiki-nii chan! There's a girl at the park crying!" she cried.
"So what does it matter?" Ichigo spoke in an annoyed tone, as they continued to walk along.
Akane held her breath, as she then grabbed Ichigo's hand, dragging him to the park, then pointing at the girl. Ichigo stood there, memorized by Yotsuba's beauty. He took a deep breath, about to approach her, until he was pushed aside by Akane, whom picked a lily, and held it behind her back.
"Why are you crwying…" Akane spoke, she had a bit of a speech inpattement.
"I rather not say…" Yotsuba replied, as Akane had a sadder look on her face, she then held the lily out to Yotsuba. "W-what's this?"
"It's a lily silly! Now cheer up pweeeease!" Akane begged, as Yotsuba couldn't help but smile.
"I will, what's your name anyways?" Yotsuba smiled softly, "I'm Yotsuba Suzumiya…" she spoke her name first just incase Akane didn't feel like speaking her name first.
"I'm Akane Kagne! I am nine years of age!" Akane spoke confidently, as now her brother and the twins watched their conversation. Her brother couldn't help but crack a smile as Ichigo was annoyed, and Sakura was trying to annoy his brother.
"That's a lovely name, are those your brothers?" Yotsuba asked noticing the boys as she wiped her tears on her wrist.
"The tall scary one is my nii-chama! Yotsu-chan, I want you to promise me something! Don't cry when your around me, or atleast try!" Akane had a Haruhi Suzumiya attitude at this point.
Yotsuba giggled a bit and kept her smile on her face. "It's a deal Akane,"
While the girls were talking, Sakura noticed something in the distance, it was a girl that was transparent. She looked very lovely, as he looked at everyone for a moment. He then shook his head and ignored the feeling.
"Pinky promise…" the words floated in the air in a gentle flow….
