Author: Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chanKairi: This is my very first AL fanfic. And the couple in this story will be… Ah. You'll find out very soon. I'm also a fan of this famous couple of this anime very much. So please don't sue about my fic.
Part One: Destiny BeginsA young boy in an age of 10 was walking down on the streets while he was carrying a young girl, who was probably much younger than him, on his back. The young girl has small injured on her left leg.
"You can put me down now. My left leg's going to be fine." She said.
"No way I'll let you walk or else you'll hurt yourself more." The boy told her.
"But…" the girl was about to insist.
"No buts. Also a true prince must help a true princess." He said.
The young girl suddenly blushed as the young boy mention the word of 'princess', which means he is actually referring it to her. But on the other hand the young boy was also blushing really madly than her.
"Anou…" he started to say.
The young boy stares at his female friend still has the crimson color on his face, he was staring at his female friend's beautiful. His favorite smile of his friend that he had loved most of all. The smile that he has been treasuring it all time. He was staring at it with a loving gaze but then the darkness suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is included the mysterious girl. And he alone was falling into the deep darkness with the endless ending.
"OUJIROU!" someone yelled.
Two pair of blue eyes was opened slowly. The blue eyes belonged to a young 17-year-old high school student lad. A young heart charming one that girls would be swooning over to his handsome looks. He is Mihara Oujirou.
"What now, Okasan?" he asked her.
"Don't 'What now, Okasan' to me, young man. I want you to go out for shopping the things that I need to prepare for dinner tonight." His mother answered. "And I mean now!"
"Okay. I'm going now." Said Oujirou.
Oujirou didn't say another word to his mother although he was already on his way to the grocery store that his mother have kept on telling him to go and buy the things that she really needed for their dinner tonight. In fact there is one thing that he hated most. And that is going to the outside world, and let the girls go on seeing and ogling on him. Though he is actually a charming and very well known to his school and has lots of fangirls, but he detest it since he's not really interesting on any girls.
The young lad reached the grocery store where he and his mom usually goes here and buy the food almost everyday. Like the usual, many girls who are about in their teens were eyeing on Oujirou with loving eyes since they're boy crazy. You can't really blame them that they were attracted to some hot and good-looking guys like Oujirou. But this lad was trying to ignore the girl's ogling and he was trying to finish the shopping as soon as he could get out of here. And he just did right after he paid the food he bought.
While Oujirou was walking back home, his mind began to recall about the dream that he just had it hours ago before his mom interrupted his dreamland. The dream that he just saw felt really real and it wasn't an ordinary dream that he had yet for somehow they looked so real than his usual dreams in the previous nights.
"What's that all about?" Oujirou whispers, "I don't actually recall making friends to someone who's younger than me."
The young lad wasn't actually looking out his own way as he found himself thinking about the mysterious young girl that he had saw her from his dream. While he continues on walking right until he have bumped into someone and the food that he bought it from the grocery fell off the plastic bags. The person that he accidentally bumped into was a young girl who has short brown hair yet there's two long bangs that was hanging over her ears which reaches two or three centimeters below her shoulders.
"Ah! I'm terribly sorry, mister. I wasn't looking." The girl apologized.
Oujirou wasn't listening to the girl's apologize but instead he was staring at the young girl that he have bumped into. The girl has brown hair and has the same similar to the color of his eyes to hers. She was small yet she's actually a cute third grader yet she has great manners and matures in her age. Oujirou made out a small awe. Such a cute and mature little girl likes her he ever seen in his life.
"No, it's actually my fault, little lady." He said. "I was out of space and I wasn't looking out my way either."
"But still…" she insisted, "It's also mine too… you see I was too." She admitted.
Before he was about to continue on. He had noticed that the girl has some similarities from the girl's appearance from that mysterious young girl of his memories. She looks familiar yet that girl was much younger than him. And also he saw a piece of paper was laying on the ground. He picked it up and looks at it.
"Are you new in this place?" he asks her curiously. "I've never seen you before."
"Yes. I was on my way to my aunt's place. You see I was going to transfer to my new school because of my mother." The girl answered, "I was on my way but in the end I was completely lost."
The girl was smiling sheepishly and scratches her head behind. Oujirou stare at the cute young girl curiously. He couldn't help to himself looking at her in such a cute way that he have ever seen. The girl needs help, he whispers to himself.
"Then how about I help you get home?" he said, "In that way you'll have someone to help you."
"Is that alright with you? I mean I did get in your way." She said.
Oujirou shook his head and gave the little girl one of his charming smiles that he usually did to the girls that he helped them when they get into trouble.
"Not at all. Also I'd like to help you." He insists.
The girl stares at the older lad with a very guilty expression that was on her face. In a few minutes later, her face suddenly lightens up and gave out a warm smile.
"Okay then it'll be a pleasure of your help." She said.
"Say what's your name?" Oujirou asked her.
"Misaki… Suzuhara Misaki. I'm a 6th grader." Answered the girl called Misaki.
"Oh you're a sixth grader…" he said. "My name's Mihara Oujirou, a second year high school."
"Then Mihara-san…" Misaki whispers. "Can you tell me the direction of this map I'm going?"
Misaki gave the piece of paper that is a map that has the directions and the images that'll show Misaki the way to the location that she was heading her way. Oujirou looks at the image and examines a little to see if the direction that she was given has the right direction that she went.
"Um, you did the right way what you did, Misaki-chan." He told her, "But the problem you have now is the last direction."
"I see… but do you know about the place at the last one?" Misaki asks him.
"Yes I do but in fact I've been there only once." He confessed. "I can bring you along there if you want."
"That'd be great but…" she said.
"Don't worry it's the same path where my house is. So no need to worry." He said.
Oujirou joined to Misaki on finding her way to her home what the directions of the paper that was given to her. And they asked to the people of the residence if they know anyplace if they're on the right direction that they were heading to. So far they were on the right track then they've finally reached at what Misaki was looking for.
"So was this the place?" Oujirou asked her.
Misaki looks at the paper to see what was the name of the apartment that she was looking for then she looks at the name of the building just to see if she's on the right track.
"Hai! This is the place where my Aunt lives. Arigatou Mihara-san." She thanked him.
Another smile began to form on little Misaki's face. Again The smile made the Prince to melt his heart when he saw her smile once more then again he never felt that way towards to a young girl than the previous girls he met. Although when he looked at it, for somehow that smile was familiar.
"Misaki-chan? Is that really you?" a female voice asked.
The young brown haired girl turned around and gasps at the person. The person that Misaki was seeing was actually a young woman who was about in her twenties, she has long white and little brown hair and has pair of violet eyes. She was wearing a green and blue shirt, a long blackish blue skirt that reaches ten centimeters below her knees and a pair of brown boots.
"AUNT—" the young girl started to say.
But then the woman starts to pinch at Misaki's face at the sudden. Oujirou stared at them with a sweat-drop at this weird moment of Misaki meeting her young aunt.
"Don't call me 'Aunt' or madam, Misaki-chan. I'm still in my twenties. And I prefer you to call me 'Ms. Shouko' or something else. Also I'm much younger than your mother." She said.
"Yessh… Ms. Shouko." Misaki answered.
Then the woman noticed that Oujirou was standing there behind cute Misaki. She looks at the young man with a weird look; I meant to write is she was examining at his features.
"Ara? I see that you've made a friend and he's a high school too." Commented a young woman in her twenties.
"I just helped her finding her way back home." Said Oujirou. "Then I guess this where I should go to my house. It's nice meeting with you… um…"
"The name's Asami Shouko. Don't forget, Mihara-kun!" shouted Shouko.
Oujirou gave a smile at the young 12-year-old girl and her young aunt then he went off going to the other way. As he was going to his way home, he suddenly felt different as he went back what he was.
"Why do I felt so differently when I'm with Misaki-chan?" he wondered.
In Misaki's apartment, the young twelve-year-old girl was now inside of the apartment house of her aunt or should I put it as her mother's little sister, Asami Shouko.
"You know, Shouko-san. I think I kindda like this place now." Misaki told her.
"Oh that's really good to hear. I thought you'd feel depressed. Maybe because of that guy you've met made you feel more comfortable." Shouko suggested with an evil smirk.
"NA! That's not the one, Shouko-san." Said the brown haired girl.
Misaki waves both of her arms up and down while she was blushing so madly that her aunt could see it well. Then Shouko hugged the young girl with a childish smile that was on her face.
"Aiya! I loved to see that cute expression of yours, Misaki-chan." She said. "But are you going to meet him again?"
"I don't know…" she answered. "I just don't know yet."
