Fuka Academy
"I can't believe that we're actually here." Haruka said and sighed.
"But we need to know more." Rei said. Usagi nodded and heard footsteps to the side of her. She turned her head to see Saya, Haji, Erik, Julia, Kai, and David there. She turned back her head and put it down, Saya did also. After a few minutes they all came in simple groups. Sakura was with Yukito and Syaoran. Ichigo was with the other mews and Masaya. Luchia was with the other mermaids as well as Kaito. And Usagi with all the Sailor Senshi and Mamoru.
"Welcome" They all heard someone said. Their heads all went up to see Hari, wearing her school uniform, was sitting up on the brick wall. "We've been expecting you" She said with a smirk.
(Listen to my opening in this part, and then continue with the story)
Hari got off from the wall and opened up the gate. "Please follow me" She said and started to walk into the academy. For the walked everyone kept quiet and admired the school. They reached a huge mansion.
Jessica, also wearing her school uniform, was inside and opened the door and said, "Irasshaimase" Hari went up the stairs and the rest followed her.
They reached a big double door and it was opened by Wynn, wearing her school uniform also. She nodded and said, "Please take a seat, if you want" And bowed. Half of them were surprised to see an eleven year old girl and a maid.
"Fumi?" Mashiro asked.
"Hai" Fumi said back.
"Would get us some tea please" She turned her head to Hari and the others and said, "Would you three please help also."
"Hai" the three said and went out of the room to the kitchen along with Fumi.
"I thank you all for coming." Mashiro said as she turned her head back. "First off I would like to let you know what HiME means." She took a deep breathe. "It stands for Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment. It is my job as the director of this school is to bring all the HiMEs and their keys here." She said.
"tsumetaikokoro de yokattawadatte
mokutekigasubetejamashinaide
yasashisanitsutsumaretemo
nanto mo nai no I'm in the dark" They all heard someone sing. Appearing at the door was Hari with a tray of cups and a tea pot. She placed that tray on a table and silently sang. "kanjirusekaiwomiseteagetara
amari no kyoufunihirefusudeshou
bakageteruyume no arika
sonnabashonadoshiranai"
"Arigato, Hari-chan" Mashiro said as she poured the hot liquid into the cup and gave it to Mashiro. She nodded and started to leave for the door until she caught the eye of Erik's. She sighed and continued to walk. "I suppose you have noticed something up by the moon." They nodded in a slow motion. "That's called the HiME star. It is the origin of the powers of a HiME." She sipped her tea and continued, "I figure you know what an element is by now. It is the name of an object of which a HiME can create. But you must know what a key and child are." Suddenly Wynn and Jessica came with a tray of more tea and a few cakes and snacks.
Kero from inside of Sakura's bag smelled the cakes from inside, unable to hide his gluttonous self race out of her bag and started darting for the cakes. "Cakes!" He yelled as he flew toward them. Hari held out the bag of books she had before Kero made it for the cakes and ended up hitting the bag.
"Kero-chan" Sakura yelled. "Um."
Hari picked up Kero from the grab and let him lay in her hand. "if you really want cake that bad you should of just asked me." She said.
"Really" Kero said as he got up. Hari nodded and started to walk toward the door as Kero followed.
Before she went out the door she turned her head and asked, "Does anyone else want to come for more sweets?" Usagi, Saya, Yukito, and Pudding raised their hands. "Yukito and Pudding can come but you two have to stay to hear more." Yukito and Pudding got up from where they were sitting and followed Hari.
Mashiro turned her head back and continued, "A key is what enables a HiME to summon her Child It is linked to the HiMEs' most important person or the one she truly loves, while a Child is a creature that you can summon into battle. But there is one thing." Mashiro said and took a sip of her tea trying to gather the courage to tell them this small fact. "If the Child dies" She said and took another sip. "The Key also dies"
The door burst opened after she said that with Hari yelling, "We're back" Everyone just stared at her. She twitched. "Mashiro-sama, you told them, didn't you?"
Mashiro placed the cup back on the saucer. "I had to" as she took a small cake.
"That's a problem then." Hari just started to back away. "I'm just going to leave this weird moment." She said still stepping back. "Before anything violent happens." She then ran out of the room closing the door.
"Hari-chama" Jessica yelled.
Hari came back in and said. "Fine" She sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Let me get this straight." Julia said. Everyone turned their heads to her. "If a HiME's Child dies they key will die then. How is that possible?"
"That is the only thing that's impossible to answer. Nobody knows why nor does anyone know why the HiME exist not even the previous HiMEs."
"Then why don't you call them" Usagi yelled. She didn't want to fight, if it meant losing Mamoru. 'I can't fight, I won't fight' she thought.
"Nobody knows why happened to the previous HiMEs after they left the academy." Jessica said.
"That's why we need you to be HiMEs. If you don't the Orphans might be able to defeat the whole student body and destroy the academy. The Orphans are getting more powerful as it is. The three of us can't do it alone. In the beginning each one of us could defeat an Orphan easily but now they've been getting more powerful than usual." Wynn said.
"There are two more HiMEs here but are still on vacation." Hari said.
"Hari" Erik said and looked at her. Hari looked away when she caught his eye.
"If you really don't want to be a HiME and help us save this wonderful academy then I suggest you live now." Hari tired to hide tears that were about to come out but failed. "This is the only home I have to be honest, I've been here even since I was eleven and Mashiro and Fumi have been taking care of me even since. If you don't want to save this wonderful place then you should really leave if you think your peaceful lives are more important." Hari screamed as she cried. She ran out of the room after screaming, she couldn't handle it anymore.
"Hari-chama" Jessica yelled and ran after her, followed by Erik and Wynn.
Mashiro sighed and took another sip of her tea and said, "It's true. Hari-san has been here ever since she was eleven and has stayed here ever since. She never ever went home for vacations. Being that she has no home." She said and took another sip of her tea.
Everyone was surprised, some gasped while some chocked on their tea. "Doesn't Hari-chan have a family?" Pudding asked.
"You will have to ask her. Even I don't know she keeps something hidden and some things in the open." Mashiro said and finished her tea. "Please give me an answer for this question." She continued. "Do you agree to be a HiME or not?" The girls thought if they did they risked losing the person most important to them but if they don't a whole student body would be in trouble.
Saya was the first to speak. "I accept for being a HiME. I am a powerful fighter as it is."
"So accept your faith and what comes with it." Mashiro said.
"I do. Because I know that no matter what I won't lose" Saya said.
Mashiro nodded and said, "The rest of you?" She asked. The rest of them nodded. "That's a good thing then. Well anyway by the time you should get home there should be a scholarship to this school in your mail. Maybe a few of you would like to come also. I would be able to send you scholarships also if needed."
The Inner sconts, the mew, Masaya, the mermaids, and Kaito said that they wanted the scholarships.
"And of course Erik will be getting one since he is Hari's key." David and Julia nodded at her. "You may leave now unless you want a little tour around the academy. I'm sure that Hari-chan is better by now."
-Meanwhile-
"Why don't they understand. Why are the so self centered." She said though the tears, while sitting on a bench in the middle of the big garden
Wynn, Jessica, and Erik stood there watching her. Jessica and Wynn each had an evil smile on their face and pushed Erik ahead. "Go and comfort her." Jessica said.
"Just go." Wynn said.
Erik walked up to the Hari, her as down and most of her skirt was soaked in tears. "Hari" he said. Hari's eyes opened wide and looked up at him.
She wiped the rest of the tears. "What do you want?"
"You are okay, right?" He said back.
"I'm fine as it is." She said.
"Listen" he said and sat next to her. "I really care for you, but I guess because of that I'm your key."
"So you accept that fact then. It's dangerous to be a key." She said.
"And I'm fine with that."
Hari blushed and said, "I think we should be going. I've got a feeling that they're done with the meeting." Hari started to get up until a mace almost hit her. She held her hand up and then her fingers turned into claws. The mace came down again and the attacker was revealed. A blonde hair girl then stood in front of her. She starting running toward her until Hari waved her hand and thin red strings came out of her finger times and wrapped around the attack's mace handle.
The rest of them heard something heavy smash into the ground. They all ran out to see Hari battling another HiME. They turned to Jessica and Wynn to see that they were not doing anything but just watching and talking. "Are you two going to do anything?" Makoto asked.
"No" The two answered and continued. Hari swung her hand and was able to take the mace out of her hand.
She then returned the strings back and picked up the mace. She held it up to the girl with a smile and said, "Konichiwa, Haruka-chan."
Haruka smiled and said, "Konichiwa, Hari-san" She took her mace and then dissolved in her hands.
Hari lets her hand and it returned back to a regular hand. "So if you're here then where's Yukino?"
"Right here" A short red-brown hair with inverted square glasses girl appeared. "Konchiwa Hari-chan" she said.
Hari smiled "so did you hear the new by any chance?"
"You mean about the new HiMEs, well of course why do you think I'm here?"
"True" Hari said. "Well let me introduce them to you" Haruka and Yukito followed her and introduced everyone.
"So these are the other HiMEs." Saya said. Hari nodded still with a smile of her face like she never ran out breaking down crying.
"Well anyway I guess you guys want a tour of the academy." Haruka said. "If you do then follow me" They all followed Haruka, Yukito, and Hari.
