Past Lives

Chapter One

It was just an ordinary day to Mitsuko. She hadn't really seen that going to a new school was anything different than the old one, just new people. She had figured that Meiou High would be just as boring as the next. The alarm next to her bed went off. Beep, Beep, Beep! Mitsuko reached over and hit the power button. "Baka." She muttered under her breath as she got up and got dressed in the new uniform.

She put her dark brown hair up as usual, in a pony tail that reached about a third of the way down her back and sighed. "A new day, a new school, what'll come next, a new apartment?" She looked around at her small dingy apartment. She lived with herself; she had been orphaned as a young girl and lived with a foster family. Or so they said, She had asked to live alone a while back and they agreed.

She reached into her fridge and looked at the carton of orange juice. She had to eat something. She took the small glass out of the sink and rinsed it then poured the O.J in it. "Mmm." She mumbled just as she looked up at the clock and about spit out the drink. "Damn! What the hell happened to the time?" She quickly watered her plant and grabbed her bag and ran out the door.

The school wasn't much more than fifteen minutes away but she wanted to get there early so she could find her classes, but as she arrived, it was overly crowded. It took her five minutes to reach the main office. When she had finally reached the office she had to wait another twenty.

"Um, miss? What is it that I can help you with?" the woman behind the desk asked. "Oh, you must be the new student. Just hold on a minute please. Here is your schedule." She handed Mitsuko her schedule and then called her homeroom teacher to ask for an escort for the Miss Aso. "Miss Aso Mr. Takaneuchi is sending a student to help you to class. I hope you enjoy your day." With that the lady went back to work and Mitsuko went back to sitting down at the desk.

About ten minutes later a young man walked in with fiery red hair and elegant emerald eyes. He looked over at Mitsuko and introduced himself politely. "Hi, you must be miss Aso. I'm Shuuichi, Pleased to meet your acquaintance." He nodded his head to signify a type of greeting.

"Please just call me Mitsuko, and im glad to meet you Shuuichi." She stated shyly. She stood up as he gestured to leave and he guided her to class.

As they entered the class the students were working already on a morning brainteaser and were a bit confused as Mitsuko came into the class. "Students, this is Miss Aso, she is a transfer from Kyoto. She will be the new student in our school and class. Please welcome her and treat her as you would any new guest to this school." With that Mr. Takaneuchi directed her to an empty seat behind Shuuichi and asked her to try the brainteaser on the board.

Within the next few hours of the day she hadn't talked to many people at the school but had become very interested in her new courses. They weren't the best, but they were better than her previous ones.

The bell rang for lunch and while the other students pulled out their lunches Mitsuko just peacefully rested her head on her desk and tried to take a nap. After about five or ten minutes she felt someone tapping at her shoulder and she couldn't figure out why. She finally picked her head up and looked into Shuuichi's friendly hues.

"Gomen. I didn't mean to wake you up." He said politely.

"No, you didn't wake me. I was just resting." She replied sleepily. "So what was it that you wanted?"

"Oh, your just not talking to anyone, I was wondering if something was wrong." He stated bluntly. "I thought maybe you'd like to meet a few new people."

She shook her head. "No. I'm just anti-social." She stated with a slight smirk. "I'm not used to having friends so it really doesn't matter."

Kurama looked at her concerned. "Would you like to come hang out after school?" All attention was on them.
