Note: Okkk I noticed before I blocked guests from reviewing lol! And I did not even do it lol! Stupid computer, anyway everyone is welcome to review now sorry about that.

Hitomi sat crossed legged on her bed slightly agitated, her lips pursed as she sat trying to do some art for home work, she had missed her class due to the little ordeal at school, which for now she was thankful she was at home.

There was a knock at the door as she tilted her head in the doors direction "Come in" she knew it was her mother, who had brought her a plate of some sort of Japanese food and her favourite German chocolate cake sachertorte she so adored, "thanks mother just leave it on the desk" she instructed.

Her mother was not convinced, she could tell something was wrong call it a natural motherly instinct, "Hitomi sweet heart is something wrong?" from the long grumpy moan she scarcely heard from her, it was obvious there was a problem.

"Look mum I do not want to talk about it ok! So just get off my case will you" Hitomi snapped which was very unlike her, she continued to try and concentrate on her art work but it failed as she could still feel the presence of her mother in the room. "Look I am sorry I snapped at you, I have had a bad day" Hitomi sighed throwing down her unfinished drawing.

"Hmmmm……..typical teenage problems I take it, maybe I put you in high school to soon" her mother whose name was Kumiko sounded unsure. Hitomi felt that her mother was wrong, that was not necessarily the case, she would have faced high school sooner or latter. She had always wanted to go to an amazing top of the chart university. High school was just one of her obstacles for getting there, she could face problems but high school guys and bitchy girls were a whole new experience for her.

"I can handle it…..your right its just silly teenage problems nothing I can not withstand" she proclaimed proudly. She had a very strong disposition that made her personality shine, yes she was very shy but her nature was to never give up and keep pursuing the problem until it's solved.

"Well Hitomi I was a teenage girl once you know not to hard to believe I hope, anyway I know what this must be like for you, and I want you to always remember you can talk to me about anything" Kumiko sat on the edge of her bed. Her dark eyes scanning Hitomi's face that was full of serine warmness for her kind mother. "Thank you I know I can" Hitomi smiled warmly before receiving a big cuddle from her mother.

"So when does Farther get back? He seems to have been gone ages…." Hitomi sighed. Believe it or not she missed receiving special training from her farther, even though her mother was also a high prized karate master as well; she missed her father's strict régime.

"Oh he will be back in a week don't worry, he's been phoning a lot asking how your coping" her mother let out a small chuckle. Hitomi felt a little surprised, her farther was usually going on about how responsible she should be, so to ask how she was coping was a bit of a small surprise. Sure dad I am having the time of my life what does he expect……ohh I need some air this is all getting to my head.

"Umm…..mother I am just going to go out for a little walk, I really need some fresh air to help me think" she parted from her mother who nodded in reply. "Ok but be back by eleven ok" she left the room when Hitomi had agreed, she did not have time for a long walk, so she put on her best sport trainers and headed out the back door.

She had no idea where she was walking to, direction did not really matter all she really wanted was time to think. A little peace and fresh air went along way. She looked at her surrounding as she passed house after house, she was always careful at night she never knew what strangers she could run into.

Even if she was a standard martial artist her mother had still always told her to not get cocky, if a path looked unsafe why bother following it? Take the safer path. She buttoned her lime coloured jacket up to the top of her chin, while doing this she was not looking where she was going, and with her constant record of bad luck managed to go crashing into another person.

She went into the tree as she was sent backwards by the sudden impact, who ever she bumped into must have been strong, as they stood not making much effort to steady them self. Wow who ever it is was good balance, wait who is it…..my head feels a little dizzy… "Umm please forgive me I am sooo sorry I did not see you there!" she began. As she now faced the person she had bumped into, her heart almost jumped out of her stomach as she was faced with a handsome teenage boy.

"No please except my apologies I was not initially looking where I was going either" the boy said politely, but in a very cold low tone of voice. She watched as he began to pick up the groceries she had made him drop, oh crap that was my fault! Ohhh poor guy I hope those weren't eggs he was carrying…..but he's sooo good looking who is he. "Here let me help you with that" she tried to cover her blushing red cheeks as she began to help him pick up the items.

He was dressed very casual, with a navy blue sweater and dark matching coloured jeans, his face features were very nice, and he amazing shoulder length honey brown hair with most of the fringe covering some of his face. He looked Asian by origin. Who is this girl…..she should really watch where she is going, he secretly pondered.

"My names Hitomi by the way! I go to the high school near here…" she tried to make a good introduction for herself, but he made a face of recognition at the school name she had just mentioned. "I am Hayate Sama, I also attend that school" he let out the words reluctantly. She wondered why she had not seen him at school already, although she considered he was probably a senior so was not out as much as the new kids

"Wow really you go to the same school! How weird is that…" she felt like a complete idiot, this was not her usual attitude but she was now standing in front of a very appealing gentleman, she felt like one of those giggly fan girls. Some one beat the utter shit out of me if I turn into one of them! She managed to pray.

"More a coincidence I guess it is a popular school" he mumbled. She could already tell he was not much of a conversationalist. Oh man I meet like the two hottest guys at school, well bumped into them! And they still lack enthusiasm oh well at least they are mega hot! Wait till I tell Lie Fang if she will still speak to me.

"So anyway….you have a lot of shopping there do you cook? Or does your mother do it?" Hitomi asked curiously. She noticed how his eyes darkened, so they were a clearer brown than before when you could at least distinguish a little possibility of hazel eye colour. "My mother died when I was younger, so really it is me and my sister who does most of the cooking, my farther refuses to do chores like that" he corrected. She looked at him with a shocked expression.

"Wow that's horrible….I am so sorry….may peace be with your mother always" she went into a prayer; Hayate looked puzzled at her behaviour but then smiled at the thoughtful gesture. She's very kind…..strange but very thoughtful at least…..not to mention beautiful I can't believe she really goes to the same school. "I must be going now" he bowed before leaving; she had never seen a boy do that before.

Wow must be an oriental thing; still it was so nice just meeting him he's like a mysterious stranger…….and sooo dreamy! Curse these high school crushes I now have. Oh it does not help especially when I keep smacking into them like that they must think I am a right dumb ass.

She reached her house using her keys and unlocking the door, when she got in doors she had to lean against the kitchen counter for balance as she felt light headed, the whole experience had almost made her weak at the knees. She did not even notice her worried mother who burst into the kitchen looking rather a little annoyed at her.

"Hitomi which part of come home at eleven did you not understand! Where on earth did you go? Honestly if your farther was here you would have been in deep trouble!" Kumiko waved her hand in Hitomi's face, but Hitomi was in what girls called dream mode, as she fanaticised about her whole experience she had just had.

"Let's just say……I met the loveliest….. mysterious stranger….." she smiled at the thought, who ever he was, she had the feeling they would meet again.
