Chapter 2 - My Prince Charming

"Phew," Tomoyo puffed out, "made it… that is too close!"

She had just arrived at the entrance of Kotoyanu University in Tokyo city. Kotoyanu University had always, and still was, her dream school. It was one of the most significant and intellectual schools there ever were in Japan. The gates of the school were silver with a campus filled with beautiful flowers and tranquility. How she had loved to come here every day to study!

As she walked into the 5-storey building, taking in all its beauty, she had accidentally bumped into someone. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. She was falling. Falling. Falling. She had imagined the pain to be agonizing, yet it had never come. Slowly she opened her eyes. First her left eye. She saw red. She closed her eyes again. Then opening both eyes hoping she was seeing things. Still red. Red? Why would I be seeing red? Oh My Kami-sama! Am I dead had went to hell? Oh dear! What did I deserve to have this happening to me! I was just about to enter my dream school and now… now I am seeing red! Oh Kami-sama, forgive me please! Give me a second chance to live! She was so in her thoughts that she did not even hear the person, which she had bumped into, if she was okay.

"Are you okay, miss? Do you need to lie down to rest?" asked her savior, with concern clearly shown in his baritone voice.

Wah? Is some one talking to me? Am I not dead yet? Oh gosh! I am not dead! Yippy! Thank you Kami-sama! Thank you! I so - WAIT! Didn't he just ask me a question? I should answer him. Yes. I should.

Tomoyo looked up to thank the person, but just when she saw the face, she wished she had not. It is not because he looked repulsive. It was quite the opposite. In fact, he was very handsome. The colour of his hair was dark, and strangely, with a tint of green. He had a well-built body and was a head taller than Tomoyo. He was wearing a leather black jacket, with a red singlet inside, and grey and green cargo pants with Puma green and black shoes. So that is what I have saw when I saw red. It was his red singlet! Silly me. However, what had captivated Tomoyo the most was his eyes. It was so warm and beautiful. In a shade of green, also. Like Emerald. He reminded her of Sakura. She could feel heat rushing up to her cheeks. I would swear I am blushing right now. Who wouldn't? I am in the arms of such a gorgeous-looking man.

" T- Thank you," she stuttered.

He laughed. Even his laugh sounds as pleasant as his handsome voice. He stared at her eyes and whispered, "I'm glad you're okay. You got me worried there, milady."

Tomoyo blushed harder while he lets go of her.

"So," he started," I do not believe we have properly introduced each other yet. My name is Igarashi Hideki. Nice to meet you."

He took Tomoyo's hand and kissed it. Now she felt like a talking tomato. How embarrassing for her.

" M-my n-name is Dai-Daidouji Tomoyo," Tomoyo stammered out, "please to meet you Igarashi-kun."

"What a beautiful name, it fits perfectly well with such a beautiful lady," Hideki had smoothly said.

"T-thank you," said Tomoyo, quietly.

"My pleasure," replied Hideki, "so may I ask why such a fine lady be walking along the path to Kotoyanu University? I don't believe you go to this school for education."

"I -," Tomoyo just remembered why she was there. "Oh no!"

She began running off again, to the direction of the school's office.

"Sorry! I need to go! Hope to see you again! " she said as she ran.

"I hope to see you again as well," Hideki said quietly.

He walked off towards the school, with a smile across his face.
