------------------------------------Chapter 1: So we meet again. ----------------------------------

It was a beautiful early autumn morning. In the garden of a gigantic mansion on top of a small hill, we can spot an aqua-green haired girl, watering the blossoming flowers. The garden was a beautiful sight to behold. It was divided in 5 sections, each consists different types of the rarest flowers money can buy.

Michiru was caught in her own little world as she continues to water the white roses. After her 14th birthday last year, her parents had let her turn their lawn into a garden as a gift, and she had taken full advantage of that. She was turning to the pink roses when someone came and interrupts her.

"Oh my, Michiru-san. What are you doing?" That was her maid, Marie. Marie has shoulder-length blue hair and was 5 years older then Michiru. Michiru turn to face her maid, she smile then answer. "What does it look like, Marie? I'm watering the flowers." "I can see that, Michiru-san, but that's the job of the gardener. Your father and mother won't like the though of you getting filthy in the garden." Marie reply, and she took the watering can out of Michiru's hand.

"Don't worry too much about them." Michiru started. "They don't mind me tending to the flowers I love so much once in a while." Marie then protest: "Yes, they won't mind if you do it 'once in a while.'. But you're always tending to them. You're not letting the gardeners do their job, you know." "Oh, Marie." Michiru smiled as she gave up. Marie always worries too much.

"And aren't you supposed to be ready for school? It is the first day of school, correct?" Marie added as Michiru start to head back into the mansion. "Yes. I'm already prepared, Marie. I just need to change now." Michiru reply to her friend. "Can you ask the driver to wait for me outside in 10 minutes?" "I got it." Michiru heard the blue-head answer as she got in the house.

(---Michiru's room. ---)

Upon entering her room, Michiru start walk over to her closet. Her new school uniform consists of the color red and green, with the skirt goes pass the knees. She took them out and was about to change into them as something caught her eyes. A silver necklace, with am emerald craved into a wing, was lying on her desk. She walks over to pick it up. She smiles as she remembers the events years ago like it was just yesterday.

"You know," She says to the necklace. "I wonder if your owner still remembers his promise. I sure didn't." Yes, indeed she hasn't forgotten about the strange boy that was her savior years ago. I mean, how can you possibly forget such a strange event? Michiru shook her head. "But then again, maybe he did. We were only 8 years old after all. How many boys at that age keep promises? To a girl he just met no less." Michiru took the necklace, gaze at it a bit, and start to put it on. 'But still…' She thought silently. 'One can hope, can't she?'

(---10 minutes later. Outside the Kaioh's Mansion.---)

"Thank you for waiting." Michiru spoke to the driver as she enters the car. She insisted on going to school on a car, rather then a limo when her parents asked, since she didn't want to look like some spoiled, rich girl. She also silently wished that no one known of her and her family's wealth, though that is almost impossible.

The Kaioh family has made their name known in many areas such as business, stock, music and art. Her father, who is a very sly man in business, was also a famous artist. And her mother has also had many of her violin albums sold out. Many say she inherited her talents in music and art from them, and she can't really disagree.

As they arrive at school, her driver say goodbye to her and take his leave. Michiru then slowly enters her new school, Helios High. She then slowly makes her way through the exciting students and look for a way to her class. Holding a small piece of paper, Michiru forgot to look where she was going. And we all now what happens when you don't look where you're going, right?

Crash

Michiru found herself sitting on the floor, oblivious to what happened. "Oh, my!" She heard some one exclaimed. The she felt the pain on her head, and then slowly understand the situation. Looking up, she saw a blue haired girl, sitting across from her on the floor. "I'm terribly sorry. Are you alright?" The girl asked her as she stood up and holds out her hands.

"No, it was my fault." Michiru took the offered hand with great delight. She stood up and reclaimed her composure. "I'm sorry; I wasn't looking where I was going." Michiru apologized. "I wasn't looking either." The blue-haired girl say, holding up a book, which she obviously was reading while walking. They both felt silent for a moment, then they giggles.

"Ha, ha, ha. Well, I suppose it's both of us fault then." Michiru say, and then start to introduce herself. "I am Michiru, Michiru Kaioh. Please to meet you." "And I am Ami, Ami Mizuno. Please to be your acquaintance, Kaioh-san." Ami bow her head a bit. Michiru then remember what she was doing, and then asked. "Pardon me, but do you by chance know where this room is? I am a bit lost at the moment." She asked, showing Ami the piece of paper with her classroom on it.

"Room 125? Yes, I do know where that is." Ami replied, a bit surprise. "In fact, it's right next to my class. I can show you there, if you wish." "Please do." Michiru smiled, taking the offer gladly. They both start to walk, with Ami leading the way, of course.

(---5 minutes later. ---)

"Well, here we are. Room 125." Ami stopped as they reached their destination. "Thank you very much for showing me the way, Ami-san. If it wasn't for you, I might get lost in this school. It is quite big." Michiru thanked her newly made friend. "You are welcome. Well, I must be going in my class now. See you later, Kaioh-san." Ami then start to open the door to room '124'. "Michiru is fine, Ami-san." Michiru added. She have too much formalities at home, she wishes that at least her friends won't be too formal towards her. Ami stood for a few seconds, blinking. Then she nods her head and said: "Alright, Michiru-san." Michiru smiles slightly at that.

Upon entering her own classroom, Michiru stop to wonder for a few moments then sat herself down to a seat near the window on the left side of the classroom. Looking around, she saw several students were already in the room, chatting with their friends. Then the school bell rang, signaling the start of the class. She took out a pencil, and a pen, and a small notebook. That's her; always have to be well prepared for anything.

Moments later, the class began to fill up as students push against each other to avoid being late to class. Many sat with their friends, and some with their girl/boyfriends. Luckily for Michiru, they were too excited to notice her yet, because she still never welcomes the thought of people crowding over her. 'Good, now to stay this way until the school year's over.' Michiru smiled at herself for thinking in such a childish way.

She looks up as the teacher enters the room. Her teacher seems to be in her mid-thirty years, with reddish-brown hair. "Hello class. My name is Ms. Kazami; I will be your teacher for the rest of the school year." She greeted a very typical greeting for a new teacher. "Unless I suddenly want to start a new life as a wildlife rescue ranger, that is." She added, smiling. Then the class felt silent. Many glances went around.

Ms. Kazami sweat dropped, obviously a bit embarrass. "I am joking of course." The class let out a breath they forgot to take. Then some force laughter can be heard. "Oh." Some students say as they sweat dropped. "Alright, then. Let's start the class with a role call." Ms. Kazami then begins to take out an attendant sheet, and start to call the listed names.

"Hiruka Azoma." "Here." "Mizuno Fujin." "Here." "Michiru Kaioh." Hearing her name being called, Michiru quickly response. "Here." Whispers can be heard through out the room. "Michiru Kaioh?" "Isn't that one of the leading families in Tokyo." "She's studying here? In this school?" "I got my next goal. Getting her as my girlfriend." "Yeah, right. I'll make her mine." Some even tried to change their seat to be next to her, but was stopped by Ms. Kazami, much to Michiru's relief.

The aqua-headed girl gives out a big sign. 'Why does it always have to be like this?' She thought sadly, she eyes sadden as she heard more whispers. Michiru then turns her head towards the window, as she stop paying attention to the teacher and let her thoughts roam free. 'Always have to be the same, doesn't it? New school, new class, new people desperately trying to get a hold of my family fortune through me. Oh joy.' She gives herself a sad smile.

'I should be used to this by now, I supposed. Yet… I always hoped it turn out different, somehow. For once, I wish someone would approach me without wanting to use me in the process.' Signing again, she looks blankly at the drifting clouds outside. Without even thinking about, her right hand found its way to the necklace resting upon her neck. Looking at the emerald wing, she eyes soften. 'The only time… The one time someone's nice to me without knowing who I was.' Reaching for the necklace had became a habit for Michiru, without her even realizing it, whenever she was feeling down.

'I really hope you remember your promise.' Michiru silently hoped, though knowing deep in her heart it is not that likely. 'Heh, perhaps Marie was right. I have to stop reading too many fairy tales books. I should stop setting my hopes so high.'

"Hey. Sorry I'm late sensei." Michiru thoughts were cut off as a person opened the door violently. Turning her head back to the front of the class, she spotted the cause of the noise. The person has obviously been running for quite some distance, as he was trying hard to catch his breath. Ms. Kazami was scolding him for being late and also for disrupting the whole class. "I'm really sorry. I woke up too late today, and I did ran all the way to class when I reached the entrance. It's a one time thing, promise it won't happen again." Ms. Kazami was first impressed by the way this student response to her, but then she gave up on punishing him.

"Alright, seeing it is the beginning of the school year, I will let you off this time." She said to the boy. "I am Ms. Kazami, your teacher for the year. Now, will you introduce yourself to the class?" She instructed the new student. Michiru was about to turn away to gaze upon the clouds again when the boy turned to face the class. With golden locks of hair and a pair of deep emerald eyes he turned and faces his audience. At about 5 feet 8, with a nice built in muscles he easily makes all the girls speechless and all the guys jealous of his popularity. He seems to first scan through the class, looking from something, or perhaps someone.

He stopped when he spotted a certain pair of blue eyes. Michiru was surprised as their gaze met. 'What is this? This all seems so familiar, yet it is also so vague.' Their eyes were locked for mere seconds, yet to both, it felt like a decade had came and passed. He broke their eye contact, giving her a smile and turn to do what he was told. "Hey. My name is Haruka Tenoh, nice to meet all of you." As he smirks, the girls in the class start to sign and declare in their heart that they've found their prince charming.

"Thank you Tenoh-kun. Now let's see… Where can you si… huh?" Ms. Kazami was cut off when Haruka headed towards Michiru. A seat below her was empty, and it seems that was the blond's destination. "Pardon me, may I sit here?" He asked Michiru, who was still thinking on what just happened. Michiru jumped when being asked, but then quickly reclaim her calm composure as she softly answers: "Yes."

Before he settles into his seat, the blond did not forget to whispers words to the girl above him: "Told you we'd meet again."

(---Fade out---)
