I wasn't able to write as much as I expected to be able to over the last few days, but I will try to get the next chapter out sometime this week in order to make up for it, or tomorrow if my homework turns out to be easier than I expected. As always, any ideas that you have for this plot would be appreciated since I only have a vague idea of where I will be taking this story, so please leave any suggestions you have in a review or send me a PM, I do read all of them. Also, I have put up a poll on which brother you want Hikari to end up with. The winner might not be her partner because that will depend on where this story goes, as well as what all of you think. Now that that's done, here is the next chapter.

Hikari

After my encounter with that strange man, or, now that I consider his uniform, student, I managed to find someone to ask directions from and made it to my class a few minutes before the bell rang.

Once I reached the doorway, I found my eyes drawn to a tall man with black hair. I couldn't say what drew my attention to him. There were other girls around him, but that wasn't what drew my attention to him.

Whatever had caused me to notice him, I felt that same desperate pull that I had felt so many times before. Though I knew that I had never met him before, I wanted to reach out and hug him. I had done it to so many people in the past, only to pull back from them when they cried out in surprise, and every time, instead of feeling embarrassed like I should have been, I felt disappointed.

Every time that this happened, I ran to them in the hope that they were the person who I was searching for. But every time, it was someone else, and I was disappointed that the person who I had tackled wasn't the one I was looking for. The strangest thing was that I had no idea who I was looking for, only that I always hoped to find them and when I saw someone who resembled them in even the smallest way, I would always reach out to them.

It was this same pull that I felt towards the classmate who was standing over there. I wanted to run over to him and hug him, but experience had taught me that all of my hopes were in vain, and I had learned to suppress my desire to do so. Otherwise, I would have tackled that blonde man I had met when I first saw him.

Just as I was thinking that I would never find any of these mysterious people, and there had to be several for all the different traits which reminded me of them, the black-haired student turned to look at something and saw me.

As I saw his red eyes, I felt the urge to hug him more strongly than I had before. I probably would have, if not for the glare that I saw him throwing me.

The oddest thing that struck me was the fact that when he turned to me, he had looked at me as though he knew me, and I had felt that same recognition. It was just like in the music room. I had expected to be met with disappointment when I had heard his voice, but both that time and this time, I felt as if I had found the people that I was looking for.

This feeling was even further supported by the fact that he seemed as though he recognised me, but his glare intimidated me too much to go up to talk to him.

Still, with all of the same feelings that had led me to move here also telling me that this was one of the men that I was searching for, I knew that I would have to talk to him, and what's more, I even wanted to talk to him. Once I got the courage to face his glare.

Reiji

It is only the first day of school and I already have to deal with so many foolish human girls. I know that I have to tolerate them in case they discover our secret, but must they really chatter so much? It was just like this the last time that I attended this school. These girls are all the same. There was only one human who ever acted any differently.

Yui.

Being back in this place brings my memories of her back to the forefront of my mind. I can still remember seeing her walking these halls and constantly asking me to help her with the schoolwork. And the way that I treated her when she did.

They even put me into the same classroom as back then. Are they trying to punish me?

Just as this thought crossed my mind, I noticed several of the other students looking towards the doorway. This aroused my curiosity to the point that I turned my head in that direction only to see her.

Yui.

For just a moment, I wanted to run to her and beg for forgiveness. Before I could take part of this impulse, I realized that she had grey eyes, rather than the bright pink orbs that had always stared at me so innocently. And then all I felt was fury.

How dare she come to this school looking like her? She wasn't Yui, so why must she tease me with the thought of being reunited with her?

I will not tolerate such an insult to her memory.

But there is nothing I can do. Not without causing a scene.

I will endure her presence, but I will not even entertain the notion of pretending she is the same girl that I had known so many years ago. That would be an insult to Yui's memory to replace her with this charlatan.

So I will ignore her. And for her sake, I hope that she has the good sense to stay well away from me.
