Once Lost, Now Found
-Chapter One-
The bright rays of sunshine streamed through the French windows, and vibrant colours were splashed against the walls as light reflected off several crystals objects in the room. Turning onto her back, Makimachi Misao let off a yawn, stretching luxuriously on the soft and comfortable mattress. Taking a peek at the clock on her bedside table from under her blanket, she groaned.
"Damn it, I'd better get out of this bed unless I want to rush through breakfast," she sighed. "Not to mention receiving another tongue-lashing from Okon-san if I let her breakfast turn cold." She cringed inwardly at the thought.
Dragging herself out of bed and to the bathroom, Misao proceeded to prepare herself ready for the long day ahead. Just as she was about to exit the bathroom, Misao heard a shrill voice call out for her.
"Misao-chan, time to get up, your breakfast is getting cold. You don't want to be late for school on your first day, do you?"
Misao shook her head, smiling ruefully. Okon-san never ceased to amaze her with that loud, high-pitched voice that could be heard all the way form the ground floor to the fourth floor, where her room was.
"Hai, I understand, Okon-san! I will be down in a minute." Misao shouted back.
She strode out of the bathroom feeling refreshed while thinking that nothing could go wrong since the moment she woke up form her slumber. However, now, she was faced with a problem. It was a very serious problem. Makimachi Misao didn't know how to do her tie.
"Oh, this is frustrating, why can't I do it properly? Argh! Why must all high schools require the students to wear ties? That's it. I give up. To hell with the dumb tie," Misao fumed, shoving the tie viciously into the front pocket of her neatly ironed school coat.
After eating her breakfast in the most ladylike manner under the watchful eyes of Osamu-san and Okon-san, Misao ran out to the limousine waiting for her to drive her to school.
"Ohayo Hanya-san, let's get the car going, shall we?" Misao said cheerfully to her driver.
"Ohayo Misao-chan, I'll get to it straight away, we can't afford to be late on the first day of term, can we?" Hanya answered with a wink. He sped off leaving a trail of fallen autumn leaves swirling in the air and was on the way to St. Rudolph High School.
Meanwhile, at the Shinomori residence, the incessant ringing of a loud alarm pierced the silence of a particular room. Yawning, Shinomori Aoshi tried to battle against the sea of drowsiness and glanced at the annoying clock through dazed eyes. "I'm never going to get used to this, why I set the alarm for seven. I'll never know." he grumbled and gave the all-too-cheery looking alarm clock a blow to silence it. Satisfied, he buried himself further below the covers, and was on his way back to the dreamland.
