I bunched up the skirt of my dress in my hands as I ran throughout the halls of the academy. Where is it? I ran by a window and slowed my steps to a stop. I leaned against the wall and tried to regain my breathing. Where could they have put it?

"Hey, Anzai-san, are you alright? Why are you still here? Did you go to tutoring?" I heard a voice say.

I looked up to see a girl. I recognized her as one of my classmates, Chizu Kamenashi. "Y-yeah, I'm-" I let out a cough. "I'm fine, Kamenashi-san. I was just looking for my bag. I seem to have lost it. Have you seen it?"

She pushed up the glasses that hung on the bridge of her nose. "Um, I don't think I have. Sorry."

I shook my head. "It's fine... If you do, can you find me."

"Of course." She moved to stand next to me.

"You don't have to wait for me, Kamenashi-san." I looked at her and saw that she was looking out through the window.

"Hmm... Oh, it's not that." She placed her hand on the window. "The sunset is always so pretty." She looked at me and smiled. "Don't you think so?"

I turned and looked out the window along with her. The sky was filled with the hues of pink, orange, lavender, and light blue. "Wow…" I breathed out in awe. "It's beautiful…"

"Yeah…" Then there was silence. It wasn't awkward, but... comforting. "Anzai-san?" I looked at her and saw that she was still staring at the window. Her gaze wasn't directed towards the sky anymore and her index finger was only on the window now. "Is that yours?"

I was confused. I blinked and turned towards the window again. What was she talking about? My eyes followed to where she was pointing and I saw that she was pointing at one of the school fountains. I squinted my eyes and saw something floating in it. My eyes widened in realization. "My bag!" I started to run towards the direction of where the fountain was. I stopped and ran back to Kamenashi. I bowed. "Thank you, Kamenashi-san!"

She waved both her hands in front of her. "Oh, it's nothing, but please, call me Chizu."

I quickly nodded and started to walk backward towards the direction where I was heading to earlier. "Okay, Kam- er, uh, Chizu. You can call me Emiya." I waved at her. "Bye, I'll see you tomorrow." I turned and started to run towards the exit that was located near the fountain that I saw my things in. I ran outside and went to the fountain. I stopped next to the fountain and scanned it for my bag. I saw it in the middle of the water and I groaned. Why does it have to be that far? I sighed and took off my heels. Crap, my stockings are going to be dirty. I lifted my dress to my mid thighs and grabbed the hair tie that was on my wrist and tied my dress so it could stay in the position that I had wanted it. I took a deep breath and took a step into the water. I shivered at the cold and took another step in the fountain. Why did it have to be in a fountain again? I'd rather have to climb a tree than go in the water. I made my way towards my bag and grabbed it... but when I did some of my school work fell out. I groaned again and grabbed the now wet papers that were floating around. I made my way back to the edge of the fountain and placed my wet bag next to my heels. I stepped out of the fountain and sighed in relief. Good, I didn't-

"Emiya, that look is very... unladylike." I looked at the owner of the voice to see Tomiya, along with Isaki and Uki. "I wonder how your family would react to see you're not the perfect little doll like they imagined." It was Isaki who spoke.

"Oh, it's just you." I crouched down and pulled out the rest of my belongings that were still inside my bag so they could dry out.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Uki asked.

I looked at them again and went to speak, but Tomiya stopped both Uki and I. "I'm sure Emi didn't mean anything by it." She took a step towards me. "Emi, what happened? Why exactly were you doing…" She waved her hand at me with a disgusted look on her face. "That?"

I knew that they had done this, but I looked down at my bag. "Um... I don't know." I looked at them and I noticed that they had gotten closer to me. "I think I accidentally dropped my bag in the water, I forgot, but I went to get it myself."

"Oh, that's a shame," Tomiya said.

"Very unfortunate." Then Isaki.

"Yeah, so unlucky for you." And finally Uki.

I nervously chuckled. "Y-yeah…"

They all took another step towards me. "Aren't you missing anything? Maybe we can help you?" Uki suggested.

I looked down at all of my belongings that were still spread out and wet from earlier. I looked inside my bag and through the mushy pile of wet papers and I realized what I was missing. My phone! My sister is going to kill me! I looked back up at them. They were even closer than before. "Um... my phone," I mumbled.

"Hmm? What was that?" Tomiya leaned a bit towards me. "I couldn't hear you."

"I need help looking for my phone." I said a bit louder.

They all looked at each other and smiled. Isaki opened her bag and pull out exactly what I was looking for. I stood up and pointed at my light blue colored phone. "That's mine."

Isaki looked at it. "This phone is yours? I'm sorry." She held out my phone towards me. "Here, Emiya."

I gave them all a skeptical look, but all they had were sweet smiles on their faces. I returned their own smiles with my own. I reached to grab my phone, but it suddenly was gone.

I blinked and looked up at Isaki who had a smirk on her face. The other two snickered and she pointed at the fountain. "Oops."

I turned to look at the fountain and immediately knew what she had done. She threw my phone in there! What a b- I looked at them with a glare on my face. "Why did you do that!" Their smiles faded away and I immediately regretted what I had said.

"We were just trying to help," Uki said calmly, but I could hear the venom within her words.

I sighed and looked down. "I'm sorry." I turned and stared at the fountain filled with... water. I took a step into the water again and felt a shiver run through my spine.

"You're going in... there again?" I heard Tomiya ask. I nodded and took another step in. "Well, hope you find what you're looking for."

I suddenly felt a sudden pressure on the middle of my back. I fell forward and landed in the water. I pushed myself back up and coughed. "What was that f-" I felt a pair of hands push me back down in the water. I tried to push myself back up, but my hands kept on slipping across the bottom of the fountain. I felt pain in my head and I was suddenly pulled back up, which made me gasp for air. I started to cough.

"Again, Uki." I heard Isaki's voice.

"Okey Dokey."

I was pushed under the water again and I felt the grip on my hair become tighter which made me gasp in pain. I tried to grab Uki's (I think it's her) hand, but I failed. My hands were too slippery. The lack of oxygen became stronger and I was hoping that she would pull me back up soon. I don't want to die by drowning, in a fountain no less. She didn't budge. My lungs started to burn and I tried, in a panic, to push myself up. Are they really trying to drown me? Black slowly entered my vision and that I noticed that my arms had given up a while ago. I really am going to die... I closed my eyes and relaxed, or tried to. I was about to die, how can I really relax?

I was pulled back up and I immediately gasped for air once I was. The pair of hands moved away and I tried to get back up, but both my legs and arms were a bit wobbly. I heard a smack and I looked behind me at the other three. They had hit Uki. "You could've killed her!" Tomiya yelled at her.

Uki rubbed her cheek. "I thought that was the point."

"To be honest, I wouldn't mind if she did," Isaki mumbled.

"Do you think I want to be charged with murder? If she dies, it's on us and have you met her sister? She's insane." I crawled towards the edge of the fountain, not wanting to be in it anymore. Tomiya looked at me and she narrowed her eyes. "But if we could, she wouldn't be here anymore, now would she?" She asked as I awkwardly climbed out of the water. I coughed and I felt water come up, which made me feel nauseous at the disgusting taste. Tomiya wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Let's go. I don't want to look like her." She looked at Uki. "And don't touch me, Uki. You're drenched in that nasty water." Tomiya said before walking off with Isaki following close behind.

Uki looked at me. A pitiful look flashed through her eyes and she pulled something out of her own bag that was placed on the floor. She walked up to me and shoved a soft towel in my hands. "Here. Don't tell the others about this." With that, she ran after the other two.

I looked down at the towel that was in my hands and I unwrapped. When I did, something fell out of it and I looked at the source. My eyes widened. My phone? I thought they threw it in the water... I picked up the phone and turned it on. Just like mine did, it had a picture of my sister and I on the lock screen. I looked at the fountain. What? How? I draped the towel over my head and shoulders and I looked back at my phone. It was dry as a bone. Did they- no, they probably did. I facepalmed. I'm such an idiot. They hadn't thrown my phone in the water. I'm so gullible.

I unlocked my phone and went to my contacts to look for my chauffeur's number, but I stopped myself. I'm drenched in dirty fountain water. I looked down at my now ruined dress. I can't go home like this! I felt my bottom lip quiver and I held back a sob. No, no, no, no, don't start- Tears rolled down my cheeks, making my vision blurry. I grabbed the end of the towel and shoved my face into it, an attempt to stop the tears. My arms and legs started to shake and I fell down to my knees and started to cry harder.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I flinched. I looked up and was met with soft brown eyes. "Are you okay, princess?"

My eyes widened at the name. Did this person not see what I looked like? I looked away and nodded. "Y-yeah, I'm fine," I said as I wiped away some tears that were still flowing down.

The person took a step back and I took a look at them. It was a boy with the high school uniform. He looked... a bit too young to be in high school though. I could tell that he himself was taking in my own appearance as I took in his. The thing that caught my eye the most was the pink bunny that he held in his hands. It's so cute~ "But... you're drenched." He kneeled in front of me and got closer. "What happened?"

I tried to move a bit back, but I stopped when I felt my hand touch something, making me look down. It was my bag. "I... fell into the fountain…"

"Oh no! That's horrible!" He exclaimed. "Um... I think we have an extra uniform in the room…" He stood up and held out his hand. "Come on! Let's get you even cuter than you already are."

I felt my face heat up and I was a bit hesitant, but I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. He's surprisingly strong. I averted my gaze to save me a little from embarrassment. "You don't have to. I was about to head home."

Silence.

I looked at him and noticed that he was a bit too close for my liking. My face got redder and my breath hitched. His eyes were narrowed slightly as if he were studying. He's really cute, yet... so handsome… I felt his hand slip away from my own and I gently touch my cheek. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing. "You have a scratch."

I opened my eyes and looked at him. "What?"

"It's bleeding." He pulled his hand away from my face. "We have to treat it or it'll get infected." He held out the bunny towards me and I felt my eyes glimmer in want. "Here, hold Usa-chan." I excitedly took Usa-chan in my hands, careful not to dirty it with my dress. It's so cute~ I want it so badly. It was suddenly taken from my hands and I pouted when it was replaced with my damp bag. "I put in everything that you had in there for you." He grabbed my hand and tugged me towards the school building.

Where are we going? He lead me up the stairs onto the third floor. We stopped in front of a music room. The Third Music room? Why are we here? I slowly pulled my hand away from his. "Um... I'm sorry, but I must go. I... I'm sure my siblings are worried..." I watched for his reaction.

He just smiled and gently took my hand again. "You know, you're a really convincing liar." I tensed up and blushed in embarrassment. He let go of my hand and opened the music room door. "There's nothing to be afraid of. We have a few extra uniforms in here and you might get sick if you stay in that dress, and I need to clean up the wound on your cheek." He tugged my hand and led me into the room. For a music room, I didn't expect it to seem like a place where people hang out. I was expecting it to be filled with instruments. I was brought to the back of the room and noticed a sign that was taped on one of the curtains. Changing room. "You can go in here and start changing while I go get the uniform, 'kay." He let go of my hand and ran off, leaving me alone.

I looked at the curtain and hesitated. Who was he? I feel so rude not introducing myself at all. I walked in the "changing room" and did as the boy had told me to do. I unzipped my dress and it heavily fell to the floor due to the water. I peeled off the stockings from my legs and an immediate chill ran up my body. It's freezing. I grabbed the towel that Uki had given me earlier and started to dry myself off. I started to shiver and I noticed the mirror that was on one side of the room. I tiptoed my way over to the mirror and looked at my cheek. There was a thin cut that was barely leaking any blood. I looked closer and saw a streak of blood that seemed to be wiped off. Was that when he touched my cheek?

"Emi-chan~ I got the dress!" I looked over at the curtain in alarm. I saw that it was still closed and I sighed in relief. "I'll leave it right out here so you can get it, 'kay!" I heard his footsteps fade away and I made my way towards the curtain. I opened it slightly and saw a small bag. I quickly grabbed it and brought it inside. I looked inside the bag and saw two dresses, one had a sticky note that had "S" and the other had "XS." I pulled out the extra small dress and unfolded it. I grabbed the stockings that were wrapped along with them and slipped them on. I grabbed the dress and unzipped the back, but I paused. He said my name... How did he know my name? Crap, I'm probably with a weirdo stalker who knows everything about me! I quickly put on the dress and heels in a panic and I picked up my things before walking out. I looked around and he was nowhere to be seen. I tried to tiptoe my way towards the entrance of the room.

"Oh, Emi-chan, you're done!" I turned around and saw that he was placing down two slices of cake on the table and, as much as I hated to admit, I felt myself get excited to eat some cake. "Come here! I have some cake for you to eat while I treat your wound."

I sighed. I can't go home with a cut on my face, Kaya and Nikko will go nuts. I walked over to the table and sat down. I placed my belongings on the floor and I tried my best to not drool at the smell of the cake. It's strawberry... My favorite~ I tried to keep my mind off the sweet treat that was before me. "Um... I have a question…" I asked as I pried my eyes away from the cake to look at him He was opening a first aid kit as he had a fork in his mouth. I noticed that the slice that was in front of him was gone. He ate it that fast? "H-how did you know my name?" My voice shook when I asked the question.

He looked at me and took the fork out of his mouth. "Your ID fell out of your bag when I was picking it up." He cut another slice of cake for himself. "Emiya Anzai is a really cute name." He said as he showed me a sweet smile and I felt my face heat up. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but everyone calls me Hani-senpai."

Hani-senpai... That name sounds so familiar. "Do you want me to call you Hani-senpai or would you like Haninozuka-senpai?" I asked.

He scooted both the first aid kit and his slice of cake beside me, then he scooted his chair closer to me. "Haninozuka-senpai is a mouthful for people to say, so you can call me Hani-senpai instead…" He said as he shoved more cake into his mouth. He wiped his hands and picked up a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. "Thish ish gonna shting." He said as he opened the bottle.

I closed my eyes in anticipation. Th-think of something else! "Um... Why do they call you Hani-senpai?"

I felt the wet cotton ball gently touch my cheek. "Well... They say I'm as sweet as Honey! They also get it from my family name Haninozuka." The liquid that was seeping from the cotton ball touched the cut and I winced. "Why? Do you not like the name?" I heard a hint of sadness in his voice and I felt as if my heart sank.

"N-no, it's not that." I clenched my fists. "Why were you still here at school?" I tried asking next.

I felt cool air on my cheek, which told me that he was done with the rubbing alcohol. "The club took a bit longer than expected. My cousin and I went to leave, but I forgot Usa-chan in here, so I told him to wait in the limo while I came back here to get Usa-chan really quick... Then I saw you crying outside." I felt something cool and creamy touch my cheek, making me open my eyes.

So he's in a club... I noticed his eyes were flickering from my cheek to the table repeatedly. I look at the table and realized that he was looking at his cake. He must really like cake. Maybe I should help. I reached over and grabbed his fork. I noticed his confusion and I gently smiled. "I'll feed you your cake while you finish," I said as I picked up a piece of the cake.

I saw him smile and his eyes light up greatly. "Thank you, Emi-chan!~"

I couldn't help but smile more at his happiness. "It's no problem." I lifted the cake to his mouth and he immediately ate it.

He picked up a big band-aid and unpeeled it. I fed him another piece as he put a tiny bit of healing cream on the band-aid. He placed the bandage over my cut and gently pressed down on it. I lifted up the fork to feed him again, but I froze when I felt him kiss my injured cheek. "All done!~" He said as he ate the cake.

I felt my face blaze up and I was rendered speechless. I swear saw flowers surround him when he said that. He grabbed the fork that was in my hand and started to eat the rest of his cake.

"Are you okay, Emi-chan?" I slowly nodded and I looked away.

Great, now I can't look him in the eye. My gaze landed on the rose-colored cake. I felt my mouth water and I couldn't help myself but eat it. The strawberry flavor made me hum in satisfaction. I heard his chair move and I looked towards his direction. He had his bunny in one hand and was stretching. I noticed the cake that we were getting our slices from was completely gone. Did he eat the whole cake?!

"It's dark now... How about I give you a ride home, Emi-chan?!" He started to clean up the table. "Hopefully Takashi isn't worried. I'll tell him all about you, Emi-chan!" He placed Usa-chan in my lap and went to put away the first aid kit. He skipped his way back to me and picked me up by my waist which made me squeal in surprise as he spun me around. "C'mon! Let's go!" He stopped spinning me and placed me down. That's when I noticed that he was, at most, an inch shorter than me. He grabbed my hand and both bags that I had with his free hand. He led me to the door and throughout the building to the front to where, I assumed, his limo was.

I was right, when we made it out the front gates of the school, a black limo was parked in the front with a dark silhouette leaning against it. The silhouette moved when it saw is and got a bit closer. "Haninozuka-san, you have returned." Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a butler. He looked over at me. "Who is the young maiden?"

I was engulfed in warmth and I realized that Hani-senpai was hugging me. ... The name doesn't sit right with me. Maybe he'll let me call him something else... "This is Emiya Anzai! She was hurt so I helped her. Can you take us to Emi-chan's home?"

The butler smiled. "Ah, you are Anzai-san's daughter. I know your father." The butler opened the door and bowed. "I shall bring you to your destination."

Hani-senpai let me go and let me go inside the limo first. Inside was another boy, who also had the high school uniform, but he was sleeping. Hani-senpai crawled inside and sat next to the boy. "Aww~ Takashi is sleeping." Hani-senpai patted the seat beside him, telling me to sit beside him.

I crawled into the seat next to him. "Who is that?" I asked as I hugged Usa-chan, who I was still holding on to.

Hani-senpai wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer into a loose hug, making me squeak in embarrassment. "That's my cousin, Takashi Morinozuka." I felt him snuggle into the crook of my neck. "He must be really tired from Kendo practice." I felt myself become drowsy and I yawned. "Are you tired, Emi-chan?"

I nodded. "Yeah, is it okay if I fall asleep, Mitsu-senpai?"

"Of course you can, Emi-" He paused and I felt him move to look at me. "Mitsu-senpai?"

I yawned again and I leaned on his shoulder. "Yeah... do you not like it?"

I felt him shake his head. "I love it! Mitsu-senpai... Only you can call me that, 'kay?"

"Okay…" I said as I closed my eyes. "Goodnight, Mitsu-senpai."

I heard him giggle. "Goodnight, Emi-chan."
