Her legs were trembling and she was clutching onto her dress "Ni-san…. I… " her eyes were teary, her throat had gone completely dry. "Hina do you have something to say to me?"

"…. Love you… I love you… Ni-san." a boy smiled and patted her head "Oh so that was what you wanted to tell me. You know you don't have to be so afraid to say something so simple, after all you and I are sibling." said the boy with a smile. Hina stared at a boy with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Hina's eyes opened breath stuck on her throat but released it as soon as she realized she was dreaming. The same dream again. thought Hina. There was a call in the intercom that lay beside her bed. "Good morning Hina-sama." it was a females voice. "Good morning Akira."said Hina tired and her head still hurting, mind unsettled from the dream she just had.

"Ma'am your student council meeting begins in half an hour." said Akira. "I see." said Hina sighing she get up.

"Should I start with your today's schedule?" Hina tied her long auburn hair behind her shoulders. "No need. I slept a little longer was there anything from the student's council vise pres while i was sleeping." Hina was the student's council president, because of which she was always busy and getting proper sleep was rare.

"No. ma'am but you did receive a voice mail."

"Who was it?" she said casually. Obviously she was not prepared for what was heading her way, she froze where she stood when she heard Akira say the caller's name:

"Aoba Seragaki." Lost Hansel Chapter 1

Medorijima

Junk Shop Haibon

It was a quiet day one of those days where there would be no work. Aoba Seragaki sighed as he sat on his chair at the reception. He looked at his allmate Ren, a dark blue haired dog. "Was there any call?" said Aoba, hoping there was. "You haven't received any calls Aoba." said Ren. He clicked on his watch and a hologram of a girl in Auburn hair appeared, Aoba staring at the picture with a gentle smile.

The shops door opened and the owner entered. "Welcome back Haga-san." said Aoba. "Oh, Aoba you're still here. Thanks for waiting even though your shift is over" said Haga-san. "Nah. It's okay I was free today anyways." said Aoba. "I see. Well since i'm here now you should go home." Aoba nodded. He took Ren, put him in his bag and left after greeting the boss.

Aoba had a happy look on his face. "You want to see Hina don't you?" said Ren whose head was popping out of Aoba's bag. "Yeah." said Aoba. "I can't wait to see her she is finally coming home today."

Aoba stood infront of the crossing he hadn't closed her picture yet. "Wow whose the cutie?" Aoba jolted at the word that came from a man in red kimono behind him. "Koujaku!" he said it was his childhood friend.

"Don't just sneak up on me from behind you idiot." said Aoba in anger but Koujaku smiled and apologized "Sorry, anyways whose the girl in the photograph. Aoba looked down at the picture with a gentle smile. "That's Hina Aoba's little sister." said Ren. "You have a little sister how come I never knew." said Koujaku.

Aoba took a deep breath "That's because she came into my life only after you left." said Aoba. "Oh I see?" asked Koujaku. He looked at Hina picture. "But i'll have to admit she looks like a real heart breaker." Aoba's smile turned to cranky pout. "Hey don't even think about going after her she is completely mine." Koujaku stared in surprise. "That's one bold confession right there." said Koujaku making fun of his friend.

"I'm being serious." he said angrily. "So tell me more about her." said Koujaku. The light turned green and they crossed the road. "Well. She is intelligent really smart she got into NJM academy with full scholarship 5 years ago. Right now she is in high school, she is the youngest in class. She is on her 1st year of high school, she is also the president of student council committee. She will turn 15 in a couple of days."

"So she is smart huh?" said Koujaku. "Yup" He said, proud of Hina. "Can't wait to see her." said Koujaku. "Sure she is come home for her holidays this year." said Aoba.

By this time they reached Aoba's home. "Why don't you come in." he said to Koujaku.

He saw his grandmother's shoes which meant she was home. "Oba-chan I'm home."He said tiredly. "Welcome home aoba." said her grandmother. "Oba-chan what's for dinner." said Aoba walking into the kitchen. "What ever you want." said a woman Aoba paused and looked at the owner of the voice. It was a blond haired woman standing in front of the dining table. "Aunty." said Aoba surprised soon his surprise turned into happiness. His Aunt Nadeshiko Angelhearts was Hina's current guardian, which meant Hina was there too. "Aunty I thought you guys were coming tomorrow." said Aoba in excitement. His eyes immediately searched for Hina. "So where is she?"

Nadeshiko gave a pitiful look she knew the boys attachment towards Hina, if only she shared the same feeling towards him."Hina didn't come Aoba." she said. Aoba paused when he heard his Aunt, his smile was now replaced by disappointment again. "I see."
"I'm sorry, Aoba I know, it was suppose to be her holiday but her is the student council president, she was really busy." explained Angelhearts. "IT's... It's okay." said Aoba.

His grandmother sighed "Jeez this child. 5 whole years and not single call nor letter, she doesn't even come home during her holidays." Her words made him feel even worse.

"I know what you mean,... BUT, that could be changed." said His Nadeshiko. Aoba looked at Angelhearts with an confused expression. "Just cause she can't come home does not mean you can't see her right?" she fished her bag and took out an envelope. "Oh yeah the pictures.."Aoba wasn't really thrilled about it. This happened during every holiday Hina wouldn't come so Mrs angel hearts would bring in some photographs of her.

"Nope..It's better than that." Aoba took the opened it. It was a slim paper with a title on it, Medorijima Travel. Aoba breath was stuck on his throat, couldn't believe what he was looking at flipped it over and over "It's a.. It's a ticket."

"Yup... Medorijima to Tokyo."she said, proudly.

"Congratulations Aoba." said Koujaku.

"Tha..." he was about to thank her but his eyes slowly shifted to his grandmother, he bit his lips. "I... Thank you Anty.. but..." before he could complete Tae - Aoba's grandmother, interrupted "I can take care of my self." she was almost scolding him. "But..."

"No buts do you have any idea how hard it was for us to get permission to get you out of Medorijima?" Aoba stared at his grandmother. "It's Aoba. You can go without worrying about anything. I'll take care of Tae-chan while you're gone." said Koujaku, with a smile. Aoba was glad he had a friend he could count on. "Thanks Koujaku."

"Well the boat leaves tomorrow so you'd better be prepared." said Nadeshiko.

Aoba smiled and nodded and went to his room.

It was late at night his Aunt was went back to the hotel, grandmother sleeping Koujaku had left as well, Aoba was wide awake with Ren beside him. "I can't wait to see how she will react when she sees me. She is going to be so surprised." said Aoba. "Yes she will."

He looked at his watch and Hina's picture appeared again she was smiling, Aoba sighed. "5 years.. Her smile was so pretty... I wonder what sort of smile she has now."

Next day

"Kaichou.. Kaichou… Chairperson." Hina paused for a second realized she had been spacing out during her meeting. "Kaichou-sama is everything alright?" It was vise president Yuki with a worried look. "Ye..Yes. I'm sorry it seems I'm not feeling well today. I apologize."

"Do you need rest?" asked Yuki. "No, It's okay sempai." Hina took the papers on her hand and tried to concentrate at the meeting. "I think we should stop the meeting for the day Kaichou-sama you really don't look well." said Honda from the disciplinary council. Hina realized her spacing out was troubling everyone. "Well I guess you're right." Hina and got up. "We'll continue this meeting next week and Yuki-sempai before you leave please make a list of all the club activities that will be continuing throughout the holidays." said Hina.

Hina collected her paper and walked out of the student council meeting room. "Kaichou-sama was really off today I wonder what happened it's not normal for her to space out like that." said Honda.

Hina took out a pair of glasses. "Akira wake up." She commanded. Hina hated the concept of having a mechanical pet so she created her own allmate which was a pair of glasses. "Good after noon Hina-sama. How was your day?"

"Tiring as usual." she said with a sigh. "Anyways today's meeting got shifted to tomorrow please put it on my schedule." said Hina as she walked towards the school gate. "Yes and about tonight's dinner where would you prefer to have them. Will it be a public place or your home." said Akira. "It's okay I'll cook something at home. Please show me the ingredients available. " A blue flat box appeared on the side of her eyes with a list of food items available in her fridge.

"Kaichou!" It was Honda. "Honda-sempai?" Hina was the first year student making her the youngest member of the council in fact the first youngest president on the history of her school. Hina looked at her senior confused. "Sempai is something the matter?"

Honda was panting probably was running after her. Honda bowed down "Please go out with me….I…I mean I like you.." said Honda. His voice clearly showed his nervousness. Hina stared at the man who had just asked her to be his girlfriend clearly this man was the best looking in school and good at heart and every woman's dream and if she were to accept his offer he would do everything in his power to make her happy. However she could not accept him. Hina bowed down "I'm very sorry sempai. I cannot accept your feelings." Hina wasn't exactly the kind of person who could use fancy word but she hated hurting other as well so she showed her sincerity. Honda sighed and a smile "I really thought you would consider going out with me."

"I'm very sorry." Hina had not lifted her head. "It's okay can I at least walk you home?"

"I'm afraid no." Honda seemed quiet hurt, but Hina did not want to send out any wrong signals. She had to draw a clear line so that he could move on. "I'll be leaving first." Hina bowed one last time and walked out of there. "He was a good man." said Akira.

"Akira I'm dating someone remember."

Hina got home tired. The phone rang as soon as she entered the house "Hey Hina-chan." It was her guardian on the phone. "Hello Aunty... How was your trip to Medorijima?" her voice had no emotions. "It was great and guess what I have a great surprise for you this time, I promise your gonna love it."

"Aunty I have always told you there is no need for you to spend any money on unnecessary thing." Her guardian was obsessed with cute things and she brought weird gift ever now and then for her which she found to be a hassle but she was not going to voice it.

"That was so mean Hina-chan." she said in an offend tone. "Anyways Aoba-kun was really disappointed. When you didn't show up yesterday." Hina felt her heart beat stop. There was long silence "Hello? Hina-chan are you listening?"

"Aunty I have already told you many, I, want nothing to do with that man." Hina could tell that Her Aunt was not happy about what she had told her. There was a long disappointed sigh from the other side of the phone. "Hina-chan you used to be such a cheerful child what happened to you?" Hina didn't' answer. "Anyways your gift will arrive tonight so you better stay alert. Well I'll talk to you later." then she hung up without giving her a chance to speak. Hina was used to that habit of her Aunt's.

"Hina-sama is okay if a asked you a question."

"A question? Go ahead." said Hina. "Who is this Aoba?" asked Akira. Hina got irritated she hated talking about him. "No one you need to be concerned with."

"But your Aunt insists upon you visiting him."

"Akira I will say this once and once I do not wish to see The MAN NAMED..."

The Next day

"Aoba Seragaki." the name echoed on Hina's ears.

A VOICE MAIL WHAT FOR? WHY? HE WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSE TO KNOW MY NUMBER. These thought played on her mind over and over her body trembling.

"I will play the voice mail."said Akira."No wait!" It was too late the voice mail began. "Hey, Hina..."

I don't want it, I don't want to hear his voice, I don't anything to do with this man.

" Um, I'm at your door."
