Chapter 1: Memories At the beginning

We were at the same school, Mugen Gakuen High school. She was a new transfered student and I was among the most popular student.

At that time, everybody thought that she was a guy, so as me. And the fact that we had thought she was a guy is important so I will keep refering to her as a 'he'.

I had heard about the new transfered student, but I would have never thought that he will be assign to the same class, and what had startled me was, what I had heard about this new student was true, maybe too true, because of those rumors, I was immediatly intrigued and attracted by this mysterious student.

Rumors were that he was really handsome, a tall blonde guy who sent you shivers all along your body with only one glance, and that he seemed to be unsympathetic and not really friendly, though they all thought he was just like the reincarnation of Adonis. I thought it was just some crazy girls exaggerating words, but after I have seen him, I had to admit that these rumors were based.

At first sight, I found him handsome and yet distant. He never spoke more than what he was asked. And even if some girls often surrounded him, he always tried to get ride of them. Therefore, sometimes, he was just sitting alone under a tree.

One day, maybe two or free months after school has started, a group of girls went over me, and some of my friends, to ask us some advice to get Haruka.

A lot of girls had already tried to date Haruka, but they had failed one after one. Nobody seems to be suitable for him.

Since my friends and I were the most wanted girls, a lot of girls came to us and asked for help, but we couldn't help them. We were no one, just some lucky girls who were born prettier and wealthy. Even some of my group had tried to date him but without successes. So new rumors were spread, telling that Haruka was gay, because he has refused all the advances. Though even some guys have tried to date him, and to everybody suprise he has refused as well.

One month passed without any changes, he always kept to be alone and still refused to go out with someone, maybe his criteria were too high. I watched him from far and I saw how he reacted when someone tried to get near him and to ask him out. He always felt sorry for each person he had rejected and tried to end it as nice as possible. That's maybe why girls never gave up.

All my friends have tried to date him, and all have been refused. They then tried to convince me to ask him out too. They thought that I was the only one who has the tinniest chance to get him. As for me, my pride was too important to decide right then what I should have done, but before I could have pondering on this any longer, something happened.

Mugen Gakuen was well known and because of its renown, applying in this school was very difficult, but with money there's no problem, therefore most of the admitting students were wealthy. Those, who weren't, had been admitted because they were smart; those students represented above two per cent of all the students, and weren't really appreciated by the other.

Ayashi Sakamoto, was among those outcast students and was the scapegoat of all the 12th grade students which meant above four classes. I didn't know how it started but she was a new student, one year younger than us and cleverer. Unfortunately she wasn't wealthy and that's why, I thought, brought her the hate and jealousy of the other students. They couldn't stand a more clever person than them and the fact that she was younger had just put the cherry on top of the cake.

She wasn't really tall nor small just the average height, she had long blonde hair but she always wore them in a double ponytail style. She wasn't wealthy as I said so her glasses weren't 'fashion' and didn't do her any jusitce. Her eyes were like the sky, when you stared at her it seemed you could just fly in the light blue sky. Mine where blue too, but darker, just like the ocean. I thought when I stared at her that if she had been rich, she would have definitly be a real lady.

Girls tried to lower her, most of the time they just shouted at her with mean names. Some of them though even brought her to a secluded area around the school and slapped her till she lowered and started to cry.

As for guys, they harassed the poor girl, verbally but time to time physicaly too. Fortunatly, they never went as far as to rape her.

Some people, like my group, didn't like the way they treated her, but we were too coward to act and by this way we weren't better. Each time we saw the poor girl, we just turned and went the opposite direction to leave her alone with her torments.

Nobody seemed to knowledge what kind of suffering she had to bear all the time.

At the end of the first term, despite the never-ending harassment, she had nevertheless gotten the highest grade on each subject, except on sport, plastic art and music. The day the scores have been displayed, some students were so pissed off that they decided to give her a lesson, a lesson she will learn and never forget.

Flashback

"Hey Ayashi, why are you so quiet today? Isn't it nice to have a meeting here?" asked a boy named Akira, he was standing near Ayashi who was put against a wall.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

"Shut up bitch!" Snapped a girl and slapped her hard in the face. Her glasses fell to the ground and broke. "Don't try to call for help. Even if there's someone who heard you, nobody will come rescue you ... Ha Haha" An hysterical girl laughed.

"Why...are you ...doing this?" cried the poor girl.

" Don't play the innocent with us, will you? We know you're cheating!" Replied another girl.

" I....I haven't..."

" We all know you have, that's why we want to teach you a little lesson.... maybe you haven't learn it yet, ne?" asked a boy with a grin in is face.

" Sure she is too ugly to find someone" answered the girl who had slapped her.

" Well then, I will take care of this lesson ...she is going to learn it rapidly with me" spoke Akira who at the same time had tore the girl top uniform.

"HYAA!!" cried Ayashi and crossed her arms around her.

Akira slapped her even harder than the girl and shouted at her "Shut up! You just have what you earn !... Hirano, Isaka take her and lie her down! She is getting on my nerve... she will know what is it to disobey!"

"Ok Akira, but let us play with her a little too..." asked Hirano and stared at the girl who cried harder as she knew what they will do to her. Isaka just grinned and put his hand to cover the girl mouth.

" No prob' she's just a whore!" With that he took off the girl skirt and pants and started to pull his trouser down when a hand was put in his shoulder.

"What..." but before he had the time to finish his sentence, a fist came and hit him right in the face.

The other two taken by the rapidity of the intruder, just fell in the ground one with a broken rib and the other with a broken arm.

Akira tried to escape, but he hadn't step one meter that he was thrown towards a wall and fell inconcious. Without five minutes, the three guys were down.

The two girls just watched with fear in their eyes as a tall blonde guy came over them with his fist clenched.

" Don't...don't hurt us, please..." pleaded the girls.

" Don't hurt you? ... Well why won't I?" Replied the rescuer.

"Because...be-because ... we are girls ...and you won't hurt girls...ne?"

"Sorry for you girls, but I am not a gentleman, nevertheless I will let you go on one condition." He said coldly.

"Hai... and what is it?" Asked with a little fear in their eyes.

" Slap each other."

The two girls stared at each other and then nodded, and did what they were told.

"No no ... not like this. Harder! Or do you want me to teach you how to slap?" He shouted coldly.

The girls stared at each other again and slapped each other faces with force this time. They both then stormed out with their swelling cheeks and tears running down their redden faces.

The rescuer went over Ayashi, who was still lying on the floor and curled up in a ball to hide herself. He then kneeled down and put his jacket on Ayashi to cover her nakedness.

" Don't cry, they won't do you any harm..." And without warning the girl flung herself at him and embraced him with all her force, as if he was going to vanish if she didn't hold him tight. The rescuer, sensing the girl trembling, embraced her in his arm tightly. Ayashi felt so protected in his warm arms that she just let herself cry freely and tighten her grip.

"Ssh...it's ok now, they won't harm you anymore ... I promise" Whispered the tall blonde.

They held each other until Ayashi felt calmer and was fast asleep.

Haruka kissed Ayashi's forehead and then stood up holding the sleeping girl in his arms.

"Life had been so unfair with you... I am so sorry I haven't seen this before, I wish you will forgive me ..." With that he walked out of the school and carried Ayashi to his limousine which waited for him.

End of the flashback

Well, I wasn't really sure if this happened like that but it was what the five agressors have told the chairman before they were all dismissed. They haven't complained, maybe because their 'agressor' were no one else than Tenou Haruka, the only child of one of the most powerful man in Japan.

Two weeks after the accident, Haruka was back to school with Ayashi clinging to him, but what surprised us more was that Ayashi had changed. She had her hair down instead of her usual long ponytail, she wore contact lenses and had a new uniform that showed her nice curves. Like this she was like a shinning goddess. When they walked through the courtyard all the students stopped their chatting and just stared at the stunning sight before their eyes.

The perfect couple.

Adonis and Aphrodite.

Before I realized it, tears had fallen from my eyes and I couldn't help it. I was madly in love with Haruka but I wasn't aware of it, until I saw him with someone else and looked so great together.

I was jealous and so in love.

I thought those feelings were maybe some tricks my pride played on me, but as I watched them again a new feeling emerged inside of me.

My heart started racing, a lump came to my throat and I was paralyzed. I couldn't move until they dispeared in the building.

And so, I knew it wasn't a trick, unfortunately.

AN: I just have one request: Just tell me how my english is and if I should continue this fic.

For those who wanted to know why I keep refering to Haruka as a guy is because of the plot and because it would have been to difficult for me to write it; switching genders depending on who is speaking it's just to hard for me vv

And for those who don't know who Adonis and Aphrodite are, this is a little glossary:

Adonis epitome of the male beauty, he was loved by two goddesses; Aphrodite and Persephone.

Aphrodite goddess of beauty and love.

I know I may have overstated the fact that Haruka is really "handsome", but since I am a fan of japanime and manga, I wanted to set the same image.
