Undying Love – Surprising News

Author's Note: Chapter 11 is up! ^^ I'd love it if you could review my chapters. *grins* I'm trying to get at LEAST 50 reviews and MORE, if possible! *loves reading your reviews and suggestions* Make sure to include anything that you'd think could be of improvement, or any suggestions on improving the story plot. I'm introducing a new character in the story as well… another one of Chihiro's best friends! ^^ This time, the new character is a female! *grins and cheers* Read and review! =D BTW… I'm REALLY sorry that this chapter is short, but I wanted to add Chihiro and Haku's reunion on a separate chapter… since it is a REALLY important part in the story. Therefore, I thought that the reunion itself… should have its own chapter. XD

Chihiro literally ran like the speeding wind, after she had eaten her breakfast… finding that she had successfully reached her high school on time. Not that she was all that eager of attending school, but she couldn't afford to be late… for a second time that week. Chihiro knew the disappointing consequences if she was late… for one, she would be embarrassed in front of her class… again. Second of all, she would have to serve a 30-minute detention after school, which would ruin her entire schedule for the day. Even though she didn't like school all that much, there was always one thing that she loved about school; her friends.

"Hey, Chihiro! My, my, my… you actually made it on time today! Should I mark this day as one of your better accomplishments?" teased a young, female voice from behind Chihiro.

"I swear… you get nicer every single day, Sakari. I'm guessing that you didn't attack any innocent children today… right?" asked Chihiro, as she turned to face Sakari, the young and lively female that was about Chihiro's age.

Sakari was basically Chihiro's best female friend for a total of two years now. Ever since Sakari had moved to Chihiro's school, they'd had naturally became the best of friends. Sakari, too, was one of the more popular people in the school. Sakari was Chihiro's trustworthy friend, and Chihiro and Sakari would often share secrets and gossip with each other. There were just some things that you couldn't share with any guy, even if that person was your best friend… such as Koji. Sakari, with her teasing personality, often was the liveliest in the popular clique… and one of the most supportive and understanding. And ever since Sakari and Chihiro had become the best of friends, Sakari vowed to stop at nothing… to get Chihiro to have her own boyfriend.

"Of course… I didn't attack any innocent children! Nah… I was too hooked up by the fact that I wanted to attack the new cutie that all of the girls have been talking about…" Sakari exclaimed, an evil grin spreading across her face.

"A new cutie? You mean that there's a new male student in the school?" groaned Chihiro, in pure disappointment.

"Yep… and my god, I hear he was the cutest ever! From what I heard, he's really athletic and intelligent as well. And they say that he's really polite and charming too… and not only that, I heard that he's going to be in our second period class!" said Sakari, sighing right afterwards.

"I didn't know that the school still accepts students this late in the year…"

"Oh hell yeah, I'm glad they accept students like him… even though it is pretty late in the year. I can't wait until second period class! Geez… after all, we need some more attractive guys in our school. They say that this new student is nearly as attractive as Koji too!"

"Have you even seen this 'cutie' for yourself, yet?"

"Uhhh… well…"

"I'll take that as a negative…"

"Oh, Chihiro! My sources of information are pretty accurate, thanks. And honestly, do you have to be so negative when an attractive male comes?"

"No… I wouldn't be. But, unfortunately, a certain female friend tries at anything to match me with another guy…"

"That's so sad to hear. Who is this certain female friend that you are talking about?"

"Her name is Sakari. Hear of her, before?"

"Not that I know of…"

"Pfft. Whatever you say. I swear… sometimes, you are so evil, girl…"

"I'll take that as a compliment. Besides, I have this evilness running through my veins… best not to waste it!"

"You really scare me, sometimes, Sakari…"

"Aww… thanks. I feel so loved. What do you say about heading to class now?" asked Sakari.

"Sounds good… after all, I don't want to be late again…" replied Chihiro.

Chihiro and Sakari happily made their way to their first period class. Chihiro was dreading the time that she would have to go to her second period class. She was sure that whoever this new student was… wasn't equal to all of the overreacting commotion that the girls happen to display. After all, the girls made a commotion about every single guy that came to the school. Chances were that this new student was just another regular guy… right?

And yet, Chihiro got a weird feeling when Sakari started to talk about this mysterious guy. For some reason, somehow… that guy seemed so similar to a special someone… but she couldn't put her finger on it. Why was she worrying about this, anyways? What were the chances that the new kid was even someone that Chihiro once knew?

Besides, she'd soon see for herself who this mysterious guy was; second period class was only 60 minutes away. Only 60 minutes left, and this mysterious guy that had worried her would be revealed. Chances are; she was worrying for nothing. Not to Chihiro's knowledge though, this mysterious person was someone that she was definitely familiar with… a certain someone that held a very important place in her fragile heart.
