A/N: Hiya! ^_^ How'd you guys like the last chappie? I hope you guys enjoyed it :) I actually enjoyed writing it. I had fun experimenting with Naozumi's feelings and writing an evil Ituko :) Muahahahaha! Lol Okay serious business now. Lol
You know what I noticed? Well I'll tell yah. I was rereading through all the chapters in this story and my other ones and I SUCKED! Why didn't anyone tell me! I was a horrible writer! I just want to delete all my stories and make them better! Well, when I have the chance I will probably rewrite them or edit them. With this story, I dont mean to toot my own horn, but I noticed I have gradually improved in my grammer, spelling, vocabulary, and everything else! Now I just need better description! Lol
Geez, I'm ranting again. Stop me next time okay? Anyway, I know I said I wouldn't answer any questions but I think I will answer this one.
Q: …. You wouldn't kill Akito off or have him lose in the end, right?...right!
A: I won't answer this question directly, but I will let you know that Akito will have a rough journey ahead of him. Whether he wins or lose is up to him. As he has said before, he will decide his own fate.
I hope that answers your question :)
P.S. Keep voting for the next story :)

*Flashback*
Arc 1: A New World: Chapter 10: Easy Come, Easy Go
It had been a couple days after the passing of the storm and everything was settling back to how it use to be; more or less. Sana and Naozumi were on better terms in understanding each other and their friendship was stronger then ever. Tsuyoshi and Aya have seem to have also grown closer over the past few days.
School had been going along fine and Sana was beginning to prepare for the life changing contest in July with her singing manager Rei. She had taken off a few days to herself to mentally prepare her head, but knowing Sana, she failed miserably.
Now it was the first week into December, about a month since the arrival of the two strangers, and Sana was humming her way to school with a grin stuck to her face.
"Happy! Happy! Happy! I am very happy!" too caught up in her own song, she didn't notice the stranger walking in front of her.
She bumped into him and fell back on her butt. She rubbed her sore nose and said "Ouch..."
She looked up to see the lifeless eyes of the ever stoic Hayama. At first she was slightly surprised, not only because she hadn't seen hi since he rescued her, but also because he looked so... tired. His whole face read fatigue and his hair was messier then usual, not that it looked bad.
"Heh. Sorry about that!" she answered. He simply turned around and walked towards the school. Sana sat in puzzlement. The jerk! He could of at least helped her up! She stood up and dusted her self off. She then pouted her lip and pointed at the boy.
"That was kinda rude don't yah think!"
He stopped walking. He shouldn't have. He should have continued his way to school and not looked back. But he didn't.
"Weren't you the one who bumped into me first...?" he nonchalantly spoke.
She blushed slightly at the sudden hit of realization but regained her composure. "Well... yeah! But you could have helped me up!"
He sighed, or so she thought. He dug his hands in is pockets deeper. "I'm not in the mood for your annoying lectures today little girl. So just forget you saw me this morning and make your annoying self go away."
The hazel eyed girl's jaw dropped. 'L-little girl?'
"I am NOT a little girl Hayama!" she retorted as she screamed back at him. "And I'm not annoying!"
He continued to walk away and make his way to school, ignoring her continuous rantings.
"Sana whats wrong?" the soon to be actor asked as Sana walked - rather stomp- in to school with a red aura around her, a frown on her face, and her hands crossed across her chest.
"That baka! I'm going to show him who's a little girl!"
Naozumi eyed her carefully as he watched her open then slam her locker. She banged her head against the cool metal and looked down at the floor with somber eyes.
'Why did you look so tired?'
"Sana?"
The hazel eyed girl broke out of her thoughts as she heard the soft calling of her blue eyed best friend. His eyes, filled with concern, bore into hers as he called out her name. She flashed him a small smile and pulled her head back from the lockers.
"You okay?" he asked short seconds later.
"Yupp! Hayama just worked me up this morning, but it's all A-okay!" She winked, causing him to blush.
Suddenly, he remembered. 'So she saw Hayama this morning?' He frowned slightly, feeling a bit possessive of her. He still didn't trust the blonde haired boy. Especially after what Sana had told him, he wanted to keep her even farther away from him.
"Common Nao! Were gunna be late!" she shouted to him as she ran ahead of him.
"Coming!" he called back, running slightly after her. 'I swear Sana, I won't let him get to you.'
Sana opened the door to her homeroom and walked in, greeting all her friends with her angelic smile. She heard Naozumi walk in behind her and greet the others as well. She waved over to Aya and Tsuyoshi, who waved back and greeted Naozumi simultaneously.
As Sana walked over, she noticed Hayama slouching over his desk, looking out the window. She frowned slightly and sat down in her seat next to him. She glanced over at him a few times, deciding whether or not she was going to say something to him. She bit her lip in confusion.
'Should I say something to him? He looks really out of it today. Maybe I should say sorry for this morning...'
"Good morning class. I hope you all completed your homework last night. Please pull out your homework and pass it up to the front row. Today we will start with the reading of-"
But the auburn haired block him out of her head as she did what she was told, still concerning herself with the blonde next to her. She saw him pass up his homework along with the rest of the row's, but went back to slouching over his desk after wards. She tried to focus her attention on the reading, but was occasionally distracted by the movements of her neighbor.
Sometime passed in the class and only 15 minutes were left to go. The teacher had partnered them up to discuss the review questions at the end of the reading and she had been stuck with Hayama. He showed no sign of acknowledgment about the assignment as he stayed slouched in his seat. Sana sat frustrated, needing her 'partners' help in answering some of these questions.
"Heyy!" she shouted, hoping he would move. No answer.
"Haaaa-yaaaa-maaaaa." she drew out as she rested her chin on her palm.
Still, no answer.
"Haya-jerk!" Nothing.
"Pervert!" Silence.
"Hayama!" No movement what so ever.
"Can you at least let me know your listening to me!" she pleaded as she crossed her arms.
She leaned over and poked him once. "Just-poke-help-poke-me-poke-answer-poke-this-poke-answe-"
But Sana's finger was suddenly taken a hold by a strong, rough hand. Her eyes went wide as she looked up to meet with her 'partners' eyes. He was glaring at her, his eyes filled with annoyance and frustration. She trembled slightly as she saw the sudden cold glare she had been receiving.
"What the fuck do you want?" he asked with aggravation in his dull, golden eyes.
Her fear long gone, she scowled at the boy in front of her and narrowed her eyes at him.
"You're my partner for this stupid assignment and I need YOUR help. I called you like 5 million times and you didn't answer. If poking you was the only way for you to actually acknowledge me, then it worked!" she finished in one breath, staring him down.
His glare turned into an agitated sigh and he relaxed slightly. "I heard you the first time baka."
Sana gawked. "Then why didn't you answer back the first time!"
"I was trying to ignore you stupid." he bluntly stated. She gritted her teeth and clenched her hands.
"What the hell Hayama!" she shouted. Though no one put mind to it since the class was already loud with collaboration.
"Hn." was his response.
"Your an asshole sometimes you know that." she murmured while scowling at the floor, her lip pouted out.
He quickly turned over to face her and watched her in surprise. No one, no one has ever fouled mouthed him in hearing distance or even when his back was turn. They were all to frightened by him. But she did it without even flinching. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. He gawked at her as his eyes were still wide. He watched as she looked at the floor with a frown, his hand still tightly gripping her finger.
"And your an idiotic little girl pigtails." she glanced up at him with puzzlement as he spoke.
'Pi-pigtails! What the heck?'
She was about to pull out her toy mallet when she realized he was still holding onto her finger. She immediately blushed. At first confused, he smirked as he realized that she was blushing because he kept a hold on her hand. He pulled her slightly at him and she fell over his way.
"Ahh!" she screamed as she was about to fall onto the floor. She closed her eyes and braced herself for impact, but.. it never came. She looked up to see her in the arms of her 'partner' whose hands were very close to her somewhat flat chest.
"Ha-" she began but was cut off when he spoke.
"Wow Kurata. I didn't know you were such a dirty little girl." She blushed once again as she realized she her head was against his waistline area and her hands were placed on each of his thighs.
The smirk on his face increased as his left hand made its way over her chest. Sana felt his hand touch her and her eyes went wide eyed. She then hoisted herself off of him and glared at him with much fury. He smirked at the girl who was now letting off a dangerous vibe.
"YOU PERVERT!" she screamed a couple seconds after the bell rang.
He coolly got up from his seat and packed his papers away.
"Sana?"
Both teenagers looked over to see a certain purple haired boy. Hayama's cold eyes returned upon the arrival of the boy while Sana's anger dwindled.
"Nao!" she ran over to him, enveloping him in a bear hug. Hayama silently growled. A sly smile formed on the blue eyed boys face. Hayama's blood boiled as Kamura gave him a taunting smile as he hugged the girl in his arms closer.
"Let's go Sana." he said with a smile plastered on his face.
"Okay!" she said happily. She looked back and glared at the boy. She stuck her tongue out at him and pulled her bottom eye lid down.
"Bye pervert!" she shouted back. Hayama briskly walked by and shoved a paper into Sana's face. Her scowl returned.
"What the heck!" But he was already gone. "Jerk..." she mumbled. She opened the paper and went wide eyed.
"What is it?" he asked as he looked over her shoulder.
"Our work. He did it all." She began to feel a little guilty. 'Now that I think about it, maybe that's why he didn't turn around. He was probably working on the questions.'
"Well, at least he's useful for something... anyway, let's go." he said with a small smile. She nodded and walked out. Sana still felt guilty now knowing that she had basically scolded the boy for nothing.
Naozumi's smiled never fell from his face. His eyes read victory. 'Looks like I won round 1 Hayama.'
"Damn that Kamura!" Akito shouted as he punched the wall.
Tsuyoshi watched in astonishment as his best friend expressed his anger.
"Wh-what happened Hayama?" he asked, slightly afraid.
"He's a fuckin girl that's what he is." he didn't understand what he was so worked up. He shouldn't have cared what the damn bastard did with her. She shouldn't have but he did. He did and that was the worst thing possible.
Tsuyoshi, at first confused, began to laugh as he realized he was mad because Naozumi took Sana away from him when he was chatting with him. The golden eyed boy turned towards him and stared daggers at his medic.
"And what do you find so amusing Sasaki?" he growled.
"No-nothing!" he stated, stifling a laughter behind his mouth.
"Let's just go to class." he coolly said after he calmed down. Tsuyoshi walked behind him and was remembering how Naozumi was acting even worse then Akito was right now after the teacher had assigned them partners.
"Hayama Akito and Kurata Sana. You two will be partners."
Tsuyoshi looked over at the blue eyed boy next to him as he was literally burning a hole into the back of his best friends head.
"Umm Naozumi, Tsuyoshi." Both teenagers looked back at the brown haired girl.
"How do you do number three?" she asked politely.
Tsuyoshi offered her a gentle smile and explained the question along with Naozumi, who forced his smile as he watched Hayama and Sana carefully.
His eyes suddenly went wide and he knitted his brows tightly together. A low growl erupted from his throat and his knuckles turned white from his deathly grip on his pencil. Tsuyoshi and Aya, curious to what Naozumi had been looking at, turned back and watched as Akito took a hold of her finger and she argued back with him, her face flushed.
Tsuyoshi smelt trouble from a mile away as Naozumi's eyes were filled with jealousy. He looked back at Aya and mouthed "Sana and Hayama."
Aya nodded in agreement as she watched the scene unfold in front of them.
"Well looks like we only have one more so we should finish this!" Tsuyoshi said, trying to distract Naozumi.
The soon to be actor looked back at his group with anger in his eyes. "Yeah sorry. I'll do it."
"No that's fine Naozumi, we will all help." Aya insisted. Naozumi forced a smile.
"Alright well..."
He ranted on, occasionally darting his eyes towards the duo on the other side of the class. Tsuyoshi found it amusing watching Naozumi get worked up over nothing. Akito would never take an interest in girls, especially Sana.
"There! All done!" both he and Aya cheered.
"Thanks for the help Tsuyoshi, Naozumi."
"Your welcome Aya." Tsuyoshi replied with a warm smile.
"Yeah no prob Aya." Naozumi quickly blabbered as he kept his eyes on Sana and Akito. Tsuyoshi sighed and looked over to the duo only to find something he had thought he would never see from Akito.
He was in complete shock. The blonde haired boy's eyes were wide open. It looked as if Akito had seen a ghost by his features. Tsuyoshi titled his head in confusion,
'I wonder what that was about?'
"Tsuyoshi?"
Tsuyoshi gazed over at Aya and smiled. "Yes?"
"Would you li-"
"Sana!" The glass eyed boy and chocolate haired girl looked over at Naozumi as he abruptly stood up. Both teenagers turned their heads to face the dynamic duo in the back. It looked as if Sana had fallen over and Akito had caught her. Though one would think differently seeing the position Sana was in.
'Damn you Hayama.' Naozumi thought as he saw the profound smirk on Hayama's face.
The bell then rang and the blue eyed boy quickly gathered his things and raced over to where the two had been.
"Umm Tsuyoshi?"
"Yes Aya?" he questioned.
"What just happened?" she asked.
"I have no idea." he replied watching the interaction of Hayama, Sana, and Naozumi.
Tsuyoshi laughed as he walked into his next class, muffling another laughter. The thought of his best friend being jealous was quite entertaining.
The day soon went by in a flash and the group found themselves walking outside the school yard together. Sana still felt a bit troubled after this morning, but didn't put to much attention to it. She knew Hayama didn't care anyway.
"Hey guys! I gotta go! I have to meet up with Rei! You know all that contest stuff!" she happily explained.
"Geez Sana! You're gunna be so busy you wont have any time for us anymore!" Hisea complained.
"Yeah!" agreed Mami.
Sana smiled sadly. "I'm sorry guys. I promise I'll find time to hang with you guys but I have to set up a schedule and stuff so yeah!"
"Common guys give her a break." Naozumi stepped in, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Sana flushed on immediate contact.
"Yeah I mean, she's doing this because she loves singing." Aya added.
Tsuyoshi was debating whether or not he really wanted to jump in this conversation or not. He supported Sana head on with her career and wanted nothing but the best for her.
"We're not saying we don't support her, were just saying were going to miss her!" Hisea explained and Mami nodding.
Sana smiled. "Don't worry guys! We still have all the time in the world to hang out! There's just going to be times when I can't won't be able to hang!"
"Which is totally understandable." Tsuyoshi added. Sana beamed at him.
"Thank you Tsuyoshi!" Sana agreed.
*Honk!*
The group of kids turned their heads to face the incoming car that was pulling next to the curb. Sana grinned and quickly said "Well I have to go guys. I have a lot of stuff to do! I'll see you tomorrow."
"Call me." The purple haired boy said. Sana nodded.
"Alright! Bye guys!" she said as she jumped into her managers car.
Three Weeks Later
Kurata Sana was feeling extremely giddy today, well more so than normally. The profound smile plastered to her face was more then enough proof. She strolled into school, beaming at all who greeted her. Most of the school knew who Sana was. If it wasn't for participation in clubs and sports, it was from her contagious energetic attitude. Unfortunately though. Some knew her through vile gossip, rumors, and obvious hatred by Hitorashi Ayumi.
The school was often caught in a silent war between the two girls. Both were highly popular and well know throughout the student body. Sana was more liked in the school because of her personality and irresistible charm, while Ayumi was better liked because of her money and gorgeous looks. Both girls were beautiful nonetheless. They were both naturally pretty and didn't have to try to make themselves look any more pretty.
Though she was modest about it, Sana knew she was naturally pretty. She didn't see a need to make herself more pretty. She never caked her face with make-up. She never altered with her school uniform in any way. She never styled her hair any different. When she prepared herself for school, she simply applied a bit of mascara, some blush, and a ting of her strawberry lip gloss. She always tied her hair into her signature pigtails and made her way to school. Very rarely there would be occasions when she wore her hair down and when she did, more students became fond of her.
Ayumi was an entirely different story. Though she was a natural beauty, it was never enough for her to be 'just pretty'.She wanted to be outstandingly gorgeous, divinely beautiful, exquisitely delectable. She didn't cake her face in make up, but she applied her long lashes with mascara, though no to much to chunk it. She always had a certain color of eye liner for every outfit she owned. But it couldn't just be any color. No. it had to be the perfect color. She buried her lips in a solid colored lip stick everyday. It had to be simple perfection; no flaws. Everyday she would alter her uniform to make it more her style. She could not handle looking the same as other girls who were below her level.
The school knew Sana had money. She lived in a mansion if that didn't make it anymore obvious. Her mother was a two-time wining award author. But Sana was very humble with the amount of money she carried. She never found a need to push it into anybody elses faces. She even offered to lend others what she had. When her friends, or even students she wasn't familiar with, were in desperate need of money, she offered up to 1000 yen.* Even her wardrobe was that of a normal teenagers. She didn't look for the most expensive clothes or the most recent releases from certain fashion designers, She was content with what she had.
Like Sana, the whole student body knew Ayumi had money. Her father, Hitorashi Yumo, was the owner and CEO of one of the biggest and richest companies on all Japan. They lived in an enormous mansion; not that far away from Sana's house. They owned both a beach and lake house and get the newest models of cars every year. To put it simple, they were filthy rich and she made sure everyone knew of it. She was extremely greedy and selfish with money.
Both girls were complete opposites. Ayumi made sure of that. The one thing that both girls had in common was their popularity with boys.
Ayumi was the type that only took notice to the best, good looking guys in school; which included Kamura Naozumi. She never looked at any boy who wasn't as beautiful as she was. She constantly belittled the boys who went after her and sent them away with disgust. The only other man that she took interest in besides Naozumi was no other then Hayama Akito. Once she realized the prince of the school was beyond infatuated with Kurata, she focused her sole interest on Hayama. She had already claimed him as hers to the whole school, but now she needed him to know as well.
Sana, on the other hand, occasionally never really put any attention to boys so to speak. Every now and then she would notice how one or two were cute, but never enough to like them and begin a relationship with one. Everyone knew that Sana was the type of girl who sought to bigger things then love, which made some question her insanity level. But she was dense. She never noticed all the boys admiring her from afar, or all the boys who consistently tried to flirt with him. She was also to dense to realize the love Naozumi had for her. She was just not into that kind of thing and everyone knew it. But the boys had still hoped that she would give them a chance.
But both girls were extremely different and it was plainly obvious.
But Sana didn't mind being different. She'd rather be different then be normal. Normal was boring for her anyway. There was no fun in living just a 'normal' life.
Her jittery self had been anxious to arrive to the classroom so she could pass out invitations to her Christmas party. It had been three weeks since Naozumi and her had talked about it and she decided to seal the deal today with invitations for the party, which happened to be in a total of 4 days.
In those three weeks, a lot of things went back to normal. Naozumi and her were finally honest with each other and had spend plenty of time together along with their friends. Tsuyoshi was now the newest member of the group, though it seemed as he was always there. Akito remained isolated, with the occasional interrogation of Sana, and continued his search, but found nothing. School had regained to its usual self and everything was normal.
Though, Hayama did seem to be more talkative then when he first got here. Though there usual conversations were them bickering back and forth between each other, Sana found it as a way that Hayama was opening his heart. Besides, it was better then when he first arrived. His replies before were simple 'Hn'. It warmed her heart knowing that he was letting her in.
"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" She shouted with cheer as she entered her homeroom class.
"Hey Sana!"
"Good morning Sana!"
"Wassup Kurata?"
"Ohayo!"
"Good morning!"
Cheerful welcomes were given to her as she walked in. This particular homeroom class had been use to Sana's boisterous ways since way back to elementary school. Most of the kids had been with Sana since they were in grade school. They all knew her.
"Someone's mighty happy today."
Sana looked to her left to see the smiling face of her timid best friend, Aya.
"G'd morning Aya! How are yah this fine morning!" she lively asked.
The light chocolate haired girl giggled. "I'm perfectly great Sana. You seem extra cheerful today." she noted.
Sana broadly grinned at her. She abruptly stood up and pulled something out of her backpack. Aya bestowed her a clouded look.
"Here yah go! Open it!" Aya smiled and started to open the invitation in her hand. She took the card out of it s envelop and began to read it silently.
"A Christmas party?" she innocently questioned.
"Yupp! On the 24th!" Then it hit her. It would take forever to give each individual an invitation! Before Aya noticed, she disappeared from sight. She quickly turned to find Sana standing on the teachers desk, looking ready to shout something to the world.
"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!"
The room silenced. All eyes darted towards her. She grinned greatly at her fellow classmates.
"I'm having a Christmas party on the 24th at my house! From 6:30 to whenever! Everybody's invited! There's going to be a live DJ, tons of food, lots of dancing, and its going to be great! Plus there will be a Super Secret Surprise awaiting all of you who go!"
Lots of smiles were now on the faces of the students and the chattering and excitement about Sana's party had engulfed the room.
"Sana? What are you doing up there?"
Sana looked down to see the puzzled look of Tsuyoshi, who had just arrived to school. Sana bend forward and placed an invitation in his hands.
"Whats this?" he asked as he tore it open.
"An invitation!" she gleefully exclaimed.
He read to himself what the card had written on it and smiled.
"A party huh?" Sana's wide smile grew.
"Yes sir! It'll be lots of fun! You're going right! I'll be reallllllllllyyyyyyyyy sad if you don't go!" she pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
Tsuyoshi chuckled. "Of course I'll go!"
"Good morning Tsuyoshi."
The glass eyed boy looked over to the blushing form of Aya. He blushed right along next to her and replied "Ohayo Aya!"
Sana burst into a fit of giggles. "Aww! You two are sooooo cute!"
The blush on both teenagers grew and the class remained noisy as everyone chattered about Sana's upcoming party.
Too engulfed in their conversations, a lonesome figure walked in to the class. He would have gone in too without a notice if it wasn't for a fan girl.
"Aww! Hayama-kun!" All eyes darted to the dirty blonde as he made his way to his seat. Both hands were dug deep in his pockets and his poker face plastered on his face as he sat down.
He let out a deep sigh. Girls screamed. His annoyance from earlier had returned. He despised fan girls very much.
"HAYAMA!"
A small titch.
Sana jumped off her sensei's desk and ran towards Hayama. Small glares were sent her way as she casually made her way towards him. Girls were fuming with jealousy as the auburn haired girl began to associate herself with him.
"Hayama!"
His vacant eyes bore into her bright hazel ones. "What do you want little girl."
Sana twitched as a mall vein popped out of the corner of her forehead.
"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that and finish what I was saying!" She triumphantly smiled. He kept his stoic faze up.
"Here yah go!" she bursted with glee.
He stared at the envelop in her hand and rose a brow. "What exactly is that."
Another vein popped out. "It's an invitation silly! You're invited to what's going to be the BEST PARTY EVER!"
All the girls in the class squealed in delight. They were surely going to go if their Hayama-kun was going! Lots of mutters were heard about Hayama and his presence in the party.
Currently annoyed, he shooed it away. "With you there? I doubt that."
Another vein appeared. She then whipped out her toy mallet and hit him. He immediately looked up and glared right at her. She glared right back at him. "You jerk!"
He scoffed and turned away. "I already have to see your ugly face here. Why would I want to expose myself to the torture anymore?" he counteracted.
Sana's jaw dropped and her eyes were consumed in rage. She gritted her teeth and clenched onto her toy mallet. Her body became stiff and her eyes burned with rage. Everyone stepped back in fear as they watched Sana heat up.
Akito ignored the girl and stared out the window.
Both Tsuyoshi and Aya sweat dropped.
"Oh my. Looks like Hayama has gone a little too far this time." Aya said timidly.
"I've never seen Sana this mad before." he gulped in fear as he watched Sana emit such a fiery aura. He was suddenly started to feel bad for his blonde companion.
"Just in case that dimwitted brain of yours didn't get it," he paused, "No I'm not going to your stupid party."
She cracked.
"Here we go again." Aya and Tsuyoshi said in unison.
"WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL, STUPID, PERVERTED, COLD-HEARTED, DESPICABLE, RUDE, INTOLERABLE, INSENSISTIVE, BASTARD!" She roared with anger. The room was filled with fear as the all backed away from Sana, who was releasing a dangerous vibe.
"I'M HERE TRYING TO BE THE NICE ONE AND INVITE YOU TO WHAT WILL BE THE BEST PARTY EVER! AND YOUR SITTING THERE INSULTING ME!" She continued.
"Yeah pretty much." he answered with a smirk.
Another crack.
"RAWR! YOUR SO HORRIBLE! THATS THE LAST TIME I'M EVER INVITING YOU ANYWHERE!" the auburn girl shouted as she grabbed onto the collar of his white jacket and stomped her foot on his desk. Tsuyoshi, along with many others, went wide eyed at Sana's action. She heavily glared at him while heaving from all the shouting. He glared right back at her. His eyes became cold as he took a hold of her hand to peel it off his collar.
'Does she want to die!' thought Tsuyoshi in panic.
"What in the world is going on in here?"
The whole class looked over to the doorway where the sensei now stood. His puzzled face skimmed the whole class to see his students filled with terror. He looked over towards Sana and Hayama and sighed. His class was never going to be normal.
Sana flushed with embarrassment and released the boys collar. She rubbed the back of her head and laughed nervously, all her anger now relinquished.
"Oh hi sensei! Well yah see, there's uh well,, there's a perfectly good reason for what you saw!" she blurted.
The teacher shook his head. "It's alright Sana. Just sit down please."
"Yes sir!" she answered as she sat down in the seat next to him.
She glared at the scoundrel sitting next to her. An annoyed scowl was currently plastered on his face as he fixed the collar to his jacket.
'Serves him right!' Sana scoffed as she turned her head towards her sensei, who was now beginning the lesson.
A group of girls in the corner of the class watched the whole scene unfold in front of them and they gave off an eerie smirk. They all held their phones out and began to type away.
Homeroom went by fairly well, with much pleasure to the teacher. As the bell rang, students raced out of class and made there way to the next class. Sana raced out and her cheery mode had dimmed slightly. Tsuyoshi and Aya followed behind her while laughing at one anothers jokes.
"Rawr! I HATE him!" Sana yelled with anger.
Tsuyoshi chuckled. "Aww common Sana. He's not that bad."
Sana turned and shot daggers at Tsuyoshi, who idly stepped back a few steps. He placed his hands out in defense and sweated just a bit.
At that moment, Akito walked out ever so calmly. He dug his hands in his pockets once again and made his way to his next class. Sana icily stared at the boy who was causally walking by. She wanted nothing more then to SMASH him and his BIG head with her toy hammer. She wanted to wipe off that poker face off his face! She wanted to burn him alive!
And she would have too if they weren't on school property. Her anger was now beginning to come back and she let out a rambunctious scream.
"Now now Sana." Aya tried to comfort.
"He's a Haya-Jerk!" she yelled as she crossed her arms around her chest.
Tsuyoshi laughed. "Yeah he could be. Though, you're lucky Sana."
Sana glared at the brown haired boy. "And how exactly am I lucky?"
Nervously, he said "Well Akito could have easily ignored you and not said a word. He could have been ruder to you."
Sana scoffed once again. "Hmph! As if that wasn't rude enough!"
"Trust me Sana. And you know it. Remember when we first got here? He's actually talking to you now. Tell me that's not a good sign?" he questioned as they walked to their next class.
Sana stroked her chin as she thought over Tsuyoshi's explanation. She smiled as she realized he was right. She began to laugh and rubbed the back of her head.
"I guess you are right!" She then frowned. "But it's still no excuse for being a jerk!"
Aya and Tsuyoshi sweat dropped. She was never going to change.
"By the way Sana, where's Naozumi?" Aya asked.
"Oh he went off on some tour of Saito Powers with Ms. Shugo and some acting managers." she briefly explained.
"Wow. That certainly is great for Naozumi! He's finally getting his break after all these years of hard work!" the brown eyed girl explained.
Sana smiled. "Yeah it really is."
"Umm I don't mean to sound stupid or anything, but what are you guys talking about?" Tsuyoshi asked in confusion.
"Oh well you know how Naozumi acts right?" Aya started. Tsuyoshi nodded.
"Well he got discovered a few months ago and lately he's been touring around all the major companies to see which he likes more so he could officially launch his acting career!" Sana ended.
"Oh.. Oh! That's really good for him!" he smiled as they entered their next class to their respected seats.
"Kamura's a girl."
All three teenagers turned their head towards the silent boy, who was currently skimming through a magazine.
The auburn haired teenager glared at the boy for what must have been the billionth time today. She stomped over to him and slapped both her hands on his desk.
"What did you say Hayama?"
"Oh boy. Here we go again." Aya and Tsuyoshi said in unison.
"Didn't you hear me Kurata? Or is that idiotic brain of yours just not smart enough to listen?" he nonchalantly said while still reading his magazine and rest his cheek on the knuckles of his hand.
"Gahh! You are ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!" she screamed in outrage.
Coolly, he went back to reading the magazine in front of him.
"Naozumi is NOT a girl! He is my best friend! I will NOT let you call him a girl!" she lectured. His stoic eyes ventured up to her red face.
"He talks like a girl, he dresses like a girl, he acts like a girl, and he looks like a girl. More then enough proof for him to actually be a girl."
"He is NOT a girl!" she defended. "You're just jealous because he's actually going somewhere in life. Not like you!"
He glared at her and clenched his fist. How wrong she was.
"I would never be jealous of a girl like him." he spit back.
"Right! That's why you're calling him a girl right?" she laughed.
"No." he paused, "I'm calling him a girl because he is one."
Sana glared at him. She pulled out her hammer and nailed him in the head. "Stop being such a jerk!"
He glared at the girl as he looked back at her. "Stop being annoying."
"Asshole!"
A smirk played at his lips. "That's not very lady like Kurata. Then again, you are still a child."
Another hit to the head.
"I am very much a young lady you idiot! I don't have to show my lady like manners to a menace like you!" she spit back, fighting fire with fire.
"That's the second time there at it today."
"Wow. Who woulda known those two would fight like that."
"They might fight like that, but maybe underneath it all, they actually like each other."
Sana blushed ferociously as she heard the whispering among the classroom. That last comment she heard embarrassed her to no end. She quickly turned around to face them and said "I DO NOT like this idiot!" pointing at him.
"Never will I like a little girl like her." he defended as he scowled at the whispering students. They quickly hushed after receiving his deathly glare. No one wanted to get on Hayama's bad side. They didn't know what he would do, but they were all way to scared to find out.
The frown on her face stuck to her face like glue as she stomped over to her desk and sat down. She twitched with every little thing and was too frustrated to listen to her sensei teach the lesson.
Hayama had really gotten on her nerves this whole morning. She was in the best mood ever and he came right along and ruined it. He was being so rude and jerk like. It was annoying! She wanted to hit him all day until all her anger was completely gone! But she couldn't. Not only because they were at school, but because she knew how dangerous he was. She had seen him fight before and she was very impressed. He had great speed and great accuracy. She would never want to be at the end of his fist.
But she was also happy. Weird to say, but she kinda enjoyed all this pointless bickering with the estranged blonde. He normally never spoke unless told so or if he absolutely had something to say, but in these past few weeks, he spoke more then normal. Though they were mainly insults and petty teasing, it was nice to hear more of his voice. His voice was an oxymoron itself. It was softly deep and humbly huskily. She wished though, for a moment, they could actually converse without them fighting.
She sighed sadly knowing that it would probably never happen.
Still, he was dead for all the insults he threw at her. She would make sure of it!
The first half of the day ended and lunch rolled around quick. Quick ruckus and consistent chattering filled the cafeteria. Cliques and groups of students all went to their normal spot for lunch and enjoyed their time together talking about school, the latest gossip, and Sana's party.
Word spread quick about Sana's party and the whole school had been talking about it. Sana passed out invitations in all her classes and those kids told other kids and it spread like wild fire. Many had been excited and eager to go. While some others, Hitorashi Ayumi and her pose of girls for example, had ignored it.
Hayama Akito currently stood on the roof of the school's main building, looking over the school's courtyard and city. A soft, cold breeze blew by as he stood engulfed in his own thoughts. In the past three weeks, he was in a mental battle with himself about all his mixed feelings. He wasn't sure if his original plan of just finding the princess was what he wanted to do anymore.
It was strange for him to be acting this way. He was constantly about duty and following orders, but after such a long time, he was willing to put that aside. He was willing to actually start living the life of a normal teenager. He was never normal to begin with. He was the captain of the Royal 6 for Kami's sake!
"You should enjoy this Akito. Enjoy your time here as a regular teenager, not as the Captain of The Royal 6."
Those words Tsuyoshi had said almost two months earlier were now ringing in his head. Was he willing to put his mission aside just for a little taste of freedom? Was he willing to put aside his duty as the captain of The Royal 6? Was he willing to forget about being a captain for the time being?
No. He wasn't sure if he was willing. He currently wasn't sure of anything. And he blamed it all on her. She was the reason he was changing. She was the reason he was losing focus. She was the reason he didn't understand what was going on. It was crazy really. He would never interact with a person unless needed too like he did with her. She was too much of an idiot to understand how much she actually affected him. Ever since the day she had called him an 'asshole', his respect level sky rocketed for her. He didn't know why, but the fact that she confront him and bad mouthed him right in front of him just opened up his eyes. A whole new perspective of her was now planted in his brain.
All the teasing and insults they threw at each other in the past three weeks was quite entertaining to him in a way. School wasn't as boring as it had always been. He actually found it quite fun to enrage her so much; today was no exception. It was amusing to see her all worked up over nothing really.
But what he didn't find amusing was her defending Kamura. He knew they were close and he knew in the last three weeks, Kamura had been clinging to her side. He had made sure he didn't get anywhere near the idiot. It angered him much more then he thought it would. For some reason, he despised seeing him with her. He hated seeing him standing closely to her and without her understanding his actions, try and hold her as much as he could. He hated watching him act like a prince and take her away. He just hated everything about the girlish boy.
Was it jealousy? No. Hayama Akito was not jealous. He was never jealous. If anything, people should be jealous of him.
In the past three weeks, he's changed. He really has. Not only was he not focusing on finding the princess, but he was interacting with other people and involving himself in outside activities. He was speaking with others more then he had intended too. It was strange. For once in his life, he didn't understand what was going on with him.
If his co-captain saw him now, he would surely be laughing at him. He could already hear his voice in his head.
"What? The great Hayama Akito doesn't know what he wants? That will be a day never forgotten!"
He smirked remembering his comrades back at home. He wondered if they were faring well without him there. To say he didn't miss his homeland would be an understatement. He did in fact miss it. It was quite difficult adjusting to a new life here in the human world. He was use to protecting people and doing the job on his own. Here, they had government officials that handled all the trouble. And he didn't like it. He really did feel out of place here.
He clenched his fist and frowned in frustration. It was just one problem after the other. He had plenty to worry about but the one that had him worried the most was his arch rival: Oshido Ituko.
He knew he was out there. He knew he was somewhere lurking away behind the shadows. Knowing the bastard, he was probably scheming how to destroy this world. Nothing good ever came from that man. Nothing. He was pure evil. But he would destroy him. He will destroy him and the rest of the Evil 5 and rid them of the world forever. That was one thing he would never put aside that was for sure.
"So you're saying that she touched my Hayama and hit him?" long, colored nails scraped the table in building anger.
"Yes! Yes! She picked fights with him in the first two class periods and called him horrid names!" A girl with short cut hair exaggerated.
"Like what?" the gray eyed girl seethed through her teeth. The short cut haired girl bend over and whispered the names, again exaggerating them, into her idol's ear. Ayumi's gray eyes widen with shock.
"What! How could she use such atrocious words about a god like boy like him!" she yelled in outrage.
"Not only that though! She also attempted to invite him to her party!"
Ayumi narrowed her eyes. "Anything else?"
"She bragged about it to other kids about how he was nothing but you know what!" the girls in her group lied.
"She also told the class that he will never be able to get with her and she was to good for him! And that he was low standards and would be a perfect match for someone like you!" another added in, lying as well.
"Yeah! Yeah! She said that you were just some stuck up bitch wanting attention!"
Ayumi glared. "That bitch!" she shouted. "I knew she only acted sweet and innocent! I knew she was just an ugly whore on the inside!" she announced as she slammed her fist on the tables. Her minions nodded their heads in agreement.
"She wants everyone to think she's a perfect little angel. Well I'll expose her for what she really is." She smirked evilly.
"Didn't she invite you to her party Ayumi-san?" said the quietest girl, Nonoko, who was speaking for the first time.
Ayumi glanced her way towards the purple haired girl. She thought back to earlier when the bell for lunch had rang.
Ayumi had been walking with two of her friends to the lunch line when an auburn haired girl walked right in front of her with a grin on her face. Ayumi rolled her eyes in disgust as she stared at the girl in front of her.
"What do you want Kurata?" she rudely asked.
She did not seemed fazed by her words. Instead, she handed her an invitation.
"What the hell is this?" she questioned as she looked at the envelop.
"An invitation to my party silly! You and your friends are all invited!" she happily expressed.
"Oh that's right. I heard about your little party from others." she said to herself. She was slightly surprised that she would invite her knowing they hated each other. Why did she feel a little happy knowing she was invited? NO! She hated her! She would never feel happy getting anything from this girl!
"So you'll go!" she cheered.
"Of course not! This must be some kind of joke! You actually believe I would go to your stupid party? Ha! Idiot! As if I, the famous Hitorashi Ayumi, would attend such a amateur party! Give me a break Kurata." she retorted with a satisfied smirk.
The hazel eyed girl in front of her frowned slightly, then shrugged her shoulders. She smiled and began to walk away.
"Well if you change your mind, your still welcomed to go!" she shouted as she ran off, waving her hand back at her.
The blonde glared a hole in the back of the auburn haired girls head as she ran off and crumbled the invitation in her hand.
Ayumi smirked sinisterly as she grabbed the invitation form her bag. She slammed it on the table, surprising her friends.
"Ladies. It seems that the 'lovely' Ms. Kurata has invited us to her party. It would be a shame to miss it wouldn't it?" She laughed with a deadly glare in her striking gray eyes.
Because the ground was covered in snow, Sana and her friends had been forced to move to another spot inside the cafeteria to eat there food. Though they didn't mind much, it was better then eating in the freezing snow.
"WHAT!"
Sana laughed nervously while rubbing the back of her head.
"YOU INVITED HER TO YOUR PARTY! ARE YOU CRAZY!" shouted both Mami and Hisea.
"Well uhh yeah? I mean I was not going to invite her just because we don't get along. I mean she could always bring her friends and we wouldn't have to see each other at all. She could have her fun and I'll have my own!" she ended with a smile.
Mami and Hisea groaned as the slapped their foreheads.
"Sana your an idiot sometimes you know that? Ayumi could be major trouble for you if she were to go! She could be planning to humiliate you at your own party!" Hisea explained.
Sana frowned slightly. "But why would she? She has no reason too. Besides, she said she wasn't going to go anyway."
Mami slapped her forehead at her friend's denseness. "She doesn't need a reason to do that to you girl! She will do it just because she hates you!"
"Well if she says she won't go then we have nothing to worry about." Hisea added.
"Sana I don't mean to interrupt but there right. Ayumi doesn't seem like the most pleasant person. She seems like the sly type of person who would do just about anything to hurt the person the hate the most. You better be careful around her." Tsuyoshi added in with concern.
"I agree Sana. We've all known Ayumi since she was a little girl. We all know how evil she really is." Aya said as well.
Sana looked at the circle of her friends with distress, but then smiled at them.
"Who cares if Ayumi goes or not! And if she decides to do something to me or ruin the party, then something's going to go down! But for now, let's not worry about what Ayumi will do okay guys? Let's just focus and get ready for the PARTY!" she easily explained.
They all looked at Sana with puzzled expressions. They sighed knowing Sana was as stubborn as a mule. No matter how many times you pushed, she would push back. But they smiled knowing that Sana wasn't looking at the worst but the best outcome for the party in four days.
"So Sana." Hisea asked while wriggling her brows at the auburn haired girl.
The hazel eyed teenager gazed at her friend for years in confusion.
"What?"
"Rumor has it you and Hayama have a thing for each other... why didn't you tell us?" she asked with a pout on her face.
Sana's jaw dropped and her eyes widen with surprise. A deep, crimson blush formed at the cheeks of her face.
"Who told you that! That's not true!" she countered. Tsuyoshi began to laugh when Sana blew up. He remembered during second period when some of the girls were whispering how both teenagers were hiding their feelings for each other by fighting. He laughed at that statement. Akito would never take interest in any girls. He never did.
"Dang Sana! You said you weren't interested remember! You always take all the cute guys!" Mami said with a pout.
"I DO NOT like Hayama!" she reassured as she waved her legs and arms in the air with her eyes becoming little arrows.
"Haha so then why do you two fight like cats and dogs then? I watched you to bicker and argue over the silliest things in the last three weeks. He would throw insults at you then you would spit back and it would continue until a teacher or Tsuyoshi would break you guys up." Hisea continued with a satisfied smirk. Sana's blush deepened even more.
"He is so RUDE! He insults me ALL the time! I have to defend myself!" she retorted.
"And what does dear Naozumi have to say about this?" teased Mami.
"Wh-what does Nao have to do with this?" she questioned.
They both slapped their foreheads.
"She will never get it."
"Nope. Never."
Aya and Tsuyoshi laughed silently. Sana was too naïve. Even Tsuyoshi, who had just recently joined the group, knew that Kamura Naozumi was crazy in love with Sana. He had always become so jealous when Sana and Hayama argued. If she didn't see that, then she was truly a lost cause.
"Wait! Get what guys!" she pleaded.
"Nothing idiot!" Hisea answered while she flicked Sana in the forehead.
"Oww! Hisea you meanie!" Sana cried anime tears.
"Poor Sana. Can't even understand her own feelings." Aya murmured under her breath. Tsuyoshi nodded in agreement.
"Different topic now!" Mami suggested. They all nodded with Sana still sulking in her own corner.
"By the way Sana, hows that whole contest things going?" Tsuyoshi asked. He had just recently learned about her wanting to become a singer. She sang for him and he couldn't deny, she had an amazing voice.
"What? Oh that! It's going great! Me and Rei had been working really hard! We've been spending a few extra hours at the recording studio working on possible beats and writing the perfect song to send to Miyamoto Records!"
"Seems like you have a lot of work ahead of you Sana." The glass eyed boy added.
She smiled. "Yeah, but it will be worth it in the end! I swear!" They all laughed.
Soon the bell for lunch rang and they all went to their respected classes. After a few more short hours, school had ended and everyone was making there way home.
A dirty blonde, golden eyed boy walked his lonesome way out of the school court yard. His poker face planted on his face as he gazed straight on towards the exit. As he made his way out, he noticed a group of fan girls staring right at him. He inwardly sighed, and they squealed. Annoyed, he quicken his pace to avoid their endless pleas.
"Hayama!"
He growled and stopped in his tracks. He glanced back and found the owner to the voice. His brown, combed hair bounced up and down as he ran, though his glasses were perfectly still. He ran up to his friend and stopped right in front of him. He smiled back at the stoic boy.
"You wanna walk home with us today?"
He rose a brow. Us?
Out of nowhere, appeared her and her friends.
"Well?"
"With that thing," he said as he pointed at the girl who just walked up to where Tsuyoshi and he were walking, "no."
Sana gawked at the boy. She plucked out her toy mallet and hit the blonde boy across the head once again. Hisea and Mami snickered while Aya laughed nervously. Gomi mumbled inaudible words and Akito glared at Sana.
"I'm going to end up destroying the toy of yours." he replied.
"Try it! You will NEVER find it!" she shouted back.
"Ahh common guys. Can't you two ever get along?" Tsuyoshi said as he tried to settle peace between the two teenagers.
"only if Hayama stops being mean first! And stops making fun of me!" Sana pointed.
All eyes went to the blonde haired knight. "No."
They all sweat dropped and Sana blew up. "Why the heck not! GAHH! YOU JUST LOVE TO MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE!"
Akito walked away, digging his hands in his pockets. He didn't need to be annoyed any further. He could have been half way home if he didn't stop when Tsuyoshi had called him back. Now he had a headache and was currently ticked off.
"Ahh Hayama..." Tsuyoshi laughed while reaching out for him as Sana threw her tantrum by spitting fake fire to the air and shaking her hands and legs in mid air.
"STUPID BAKA!"
Akito steadily walked out of school premises and made his way to his apartment to maybe get some rest after yet another restless night. He wanted, no needed no more disturbances. His main goal at this very moment was to go home and sleep. And he would do it.
Well he was getting close before two hands reached out and grabbed him form his collar and pulled him inside the alley. He hit his back against the wall and long nails dug into his deck.
"Well hello handsome..."
A/N: Cliffhanger! I haven't had one in like two chapters lol. Maybe one. I don't know. Actually, this chapter wasn't suppose to stop here. This chapter was suppose to have so much more in it but because it ended up being sooooo long I had to cut it. Remember how I asked the question about quicker updates, shorter chapters and so on? Well I decided 16 pages, 17 my max, would be the cut off line for each chapter but this one went to 21 pages! If I would have put all that I wanted to put in then it would be around 27 or 28 pages.
Anyway, this chapter was more character development and internal feelings. It was kinda boring and more of a filler, but things pick up next chapter. Gah! Now I have to find a way to put the stuff from this chapter into next chapter without it being to long! That means I will probably have to write at least one more chapter for Arc 1 for everything to fit. Actually I might make next chapter a shorter one just to fit in the part I didn't get to fit in here. I dont know though!
But it's still something to look forward too! And If you think about it, Arc 1 is half way over with already lol. Dang! It's almost half way done!
Ahh no more talking! No character closing again. I'm sorry :/ But I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please REVIEW. I need to know how this story is progressing because this is my first real piece of work.
P.S. Ohayo means good morning, hello, and etc. Baka means idiot, dummy, stupid. Yeah it think you get it.
Anyway, here's the preview for next chapter. Enjoy!
Next Time On Two Worlds Collide:
Who is this stranger person that caught our knight off guard? What is it they want? Also, Tsuyoshi seeks for advice from his blonde haired best friend as he prepares to make a decision that might jeopardize the mission. As Sana prepares for her party, which is one day away, Naozumi struggles to find Sana the perfect gift.
Arc 1: A New World: Chapter 11: Preparations
