"I can't believe my baby girl is going off to High School!" said Yuuko Kaymia, as Hikari, now 15, sat down to eat her breakfast.
"Mom..."said Kari half rolling her eyes. She was now a little taller than her mother, and her hair was level with her shoulder blades.
"You're mother is just taken aback by how much you've grown, and her growing fear is that someday soon that you'll leave this house, able to take care of yourself... which is also my fear… so young lady no more growing up…" said Susumu Kaymia sarcastically and seriously
Hikari smirked and then ate her breakfast quickly and swiftly. She then picked up her bags and left for school.
~~~
"Hikari!" cried a light brunette in a similar school uniform, including a green dress, and knee top socks, with blue slip shoes on.
"Omatsu!" said Hikari, hugging her friend.
"Can you believe it? High School!" said Omatsu
"I can…" said Hikari as the two headed to the Auditorium, for the first day of school procedures. As they sat down in the middle of the Auditorium, the lights dimmed, and everyone turned their attention to the stage, where a podium was place, in the center. Then after two or three seconds of this, the Principal, Mrs. Bibou, walked across the stage, in front of the blue curtain, to the podium.
"Welcome Back Classes of 2005, and 2006… and Welcome Class of 2007… I hope for this to be an excellent year for all of you!" said Mrs. Bibou, and at each pause (…) she was applauded by the appropriate section of the Auditorium. "Now let us begin with a Memoriam to a student who would be in the senior class this year, or probably have skipped the grade, Izumi Koushiro…" said Mrs. Bibou and the seniors clapped heartily, while the name left Kari as though she had heard it before. "He tragically died with nine others in a fire in the Computer Room, in the Junior High… three years ago…" following this statement, the seniors stood and applauded, Kari was now definitely sure she had heard that name before.

"Come on you stupid key… you worked yesterday… Ah ha! Finally!" cried Kari as she opened her locker. She looked into it and placed her coat inside, and then opened her book bag and started decorating the back of the door with pictures, of her and Omatsu, and her boyfriend. Last April she had met him, and she fell in love with him at first glance! He was everything a girl could want out of a guy, he was kind, caring, understanding, athletic, humorous, intelligent, and good looking to boot! And she stared longingly at the pictures, they're first date in late April, a concert that was rained out… but they had the best time, running home through the park, in the pouring rain. And then she heard his voice, down the hallway, and to her left, she turned, and he was at his locker… oh the handsome Chouwa Bishonen, her boyfriend, was talking to his weird, almost goth, American, his friend Jason. She ventured closer to hear their conversation but not to intrude on it, just yet.
"I mean, I must be the luckiest guy in the world, she was all over Motomiya and Takaishi in the beginning of Junior High, and I have to admit I liked her then, and love her now… but it was almost a perfect timing… well, sadly unfortunate for them, and lucky for me, that they both died in that fire three years ago… I wonder why she doesn't talk about them much…" said Chouwa
"Maybe it hurts too much for her to even think about it… or maybe she finds if she thinks the what ifs, she'd get no where and waste time…" said Jason
"How can you deduct that?" asked Chouwa
"I have two older sisters, a younger brother, and a younger sister… I think I'm the uncertified genius on how girls react to different situations…" said Jason
"How?" asked Chouwa
"Let me put it this way… if in my old school, in America, had counted Diaries as books, I would have had 2 books off of the Reading Requirement there… each year…" said Jason and he grinned as he spoke, and about this time Chouwa noticed Kari.
"Hikari-kei!" shouted Chouwa, his black hair most predominate, and Hazel eyes holding some mystery behind them, Kari ran to her boyfriend, and they embraced and kissed, he was at least a head taller than her.
"Chouwa-kei!" said Kari after the kiss
"I think I better be leaving… so that you two love birds can be alone…" said Jason, leaving, his black hair rustling when he walked, he exited the hallway, and headed down the stairs.
"What do you have first period?" asked Hikari, Chouwa had his arm around her shoulders, and she had her arm around his back, they walked slowly down the hallway.
"History…" said Chouwa
"Science…" said Kari, full of hate at the class.
"Then English… Geometry… Japanese… French… Science… Lunch… Newspaper… and then finally Gym…" said Chouwa
"We have the exact same schedule except for first and fifth periods… of course it might have to do with me taking Chemistry, and you taking Biology…" said Kari
"You had to test out of the class…" said Chouwa in a mock angry voice
"You probably could have too…" said Kari
"Yeah… but I'm a lazy bum…" said Chouwa in a sarcastic tone, and Hikari laughed at it, they kissed and then went their separate ways for Homeroom.
Kari's first period went by so slowly, she understood the info but didn't understand why the teacher had to teach it in such a cut and dry tone, it was almost hypnotic! During second period on to fifth she and Chouwa constantly passed notes back and forth, and was almost caught in their French class. But Kari at the right moment knocked over her purse, spilling the contents, and she hastily picked up everything and slipped the note to Chouwa. History seemed interesting, the teacher took a new approach that Kari had never seen in use before… he had the class in the center, and he walked around them explaining the lesson on all the side boards.
At Lunch she sat with Chouwa, Omatsu and her other girl friends were on one side of her, and Chouwa and his guy friends the two had little time for private conversation, but the two still enjoyed one another's company.
During Newspaper, the advisor talked so long, the only time they had to talk was during the last five minutes of class. Finally during Gym it was a game of Volleyball, Boys versus Girls, and the latter creamed the males only due to the former taking it easy on the latter.
"And you missed that spike I sent at you!" said Kari as the two walked to their homes from school.
"Only because you sent it…" said Chouwa playfully.
"Oh you!" said Kari just as playfully, and ruffled up his perfectly straight hair.
"Oww! Stop! Stop! Uncle! Uncle!" screamed Chouwa playfully and actually hurt.
"You admit you missed the spike?" asked Kari
"Yes, yes!" said Chouwa, and she stopped.
"Here's my apartment, Love you Chouwa-kei" said Kari, and they kissed before they parted.

"Mom… I'm home…" said Kari as she entered the door, she found the apartment seemingly empty, and decided to sit down and watch TV, when suddenly she noticed a box of things on the couch. Kari approached it carefully, and opened it. Inside was a large collection of photos, toys, and other things. Some things, Kari recognized, like her pink scarf, other things she did not, like a photograph of her, and a blonde haired boy standing together in New York City. Now number one, she had never left Japan in her life, number two she had never seen that boy before, but something was telling her, deep down that what she was thinking was inaccurate, but Kari ignored that, and turned her attention more towards trying to recognize the boy. After a minute of staring, she placed the photograph down, and picked up an odd looking watch. And suddenly her computer started beeping like mad, and so did the watch, and Kari was sucked into it, her adventure just beginning.
