Thanks for the reviews and also for those who read my story. This is supposed to be published yesterday. But for some reasons (most probably the rain, it happens a lot) our internet connection isn't working. Anyways, though the publishing have waited for almost 24 hours. Here it is. Enjoy reading.

"I decided that you need an Afternoon Tutor..." Nikaido-sensei said
"Oh, okay. That's not a problem."
"...two hours everyday except Sunday.", he added
I wanted to shout with all my might, but I decided to calm myself.
"But sensei, what about my Guardian Activities?", I asked cooly.
" I already fixed that. I excused you from the Principal and also from Hotori-kun. They said it's okay for you to join the Guardians until 5:00 but after that, you're free to study with your tutor."
"B-b-but?!"
"No but's, Himamori-san. If you don't improve your grades you'll fail the exams, and if you fail, you'll repeat your fifth-grade next year. You don't want that to happen, right?"
xXx-oOo-xXx
"What?!" Kukai, Yaya, and Nadeshiko shouted.
"It will start this Monday." I sadly answered. I buried my face in my arms. I don't know if I made the right decision of taking this "tutor" thing but I certainly don't want to repeat next year. I don't want to throw away my only chance to be in the same class as my prince.
"And also from monday, Hinamori-san can only be with us until 5:00pm. After that, she is supposed to be studying with her tutor." added Hotori-kun.
"Amu-chi, who will be your tutor?" Yaya asked.
"I don't really know. Nikaido-sensei said I would know when I see my tutor on our first day."
"Don't worry Amu-chan. He's a good teacher and student." my prince said.
"How did you know who my tutor is?" I asked with curiosity.
"Well, he's with sensei when he ask us to allow you to go after 5pm. So, I already met him. In fact, he's a really good friend."
"Is he strict?"
"Kinda, but not too strict. Don't worry Hinamori-san, he's a very good friend to me, almost like my brother, and I'm sure he'll you'll like him." Then he smiled. Oh how I love his cute smile. And how I also hate it. It makes me do things I would normally not do.

As I walk home, I remembered about the new girl I saw at school. I can say she's really cool, but also very cold. It felt like she does not want to talk to anybody. I thik I'll like her but I don't even know her name yet. Because of that tutor-thing, I forgot to ask Nadeshiko who is the new girl. And then I again remembered how my daily talks with my prince are shortened because of an afternoon tutor. Because of my building anger, I kick a can I saw on the road. And then I hear many cats shriek. I looked to where it was coming from. It's coming from 3 orange cat. Their fur stood on it's very end. Their eyes burning red with anger. The cats are in rage, and I can see why. In front of the cat's, lies the can that I have just kicked. I turned to a frozen statue.
"Oh no!" is all I can say. "Help!" I screamed. I took a step back. Wrong move. I tripped. I tumbled on the road. The cats ran toward me to scratch me with their sharp claws. My mind told my feet to stand and run away. But it won't listen. I saw the cats nearing, I shut my eyes, tears building up in the corer of my eyes. I buried my face in to my hands. I can't do anything more. I just waited for the moment that I can feel my body scratched and bleeding. I waited and waited, until i decided to take a peek. I can't see the cats anymore, instead all I saw are two feet. I looked up, only to see the guy with dark blue hair and sapphire eyes. I'm speechless. I don't know what's happening. There was silence, until he spoke.
"Oi, you can stad up now." I stand up, loking at him with confused eyes.
"neko... mimi... boy.." is all I can say.
Then he smile, or it must be more appropriate to say he smirk. He smirked at me.
"Why are you here and what happened to the cats? Why did you--" I said ,standing up, with much curiosity that a child could ever have.
"Aren't you going to at least say thanks to me for saving you from those cats?" he cutted me with his usual cold and deep voice. I was speechless. My cheeks were burning hot. I'm very embarassed for what I did.
"T-t-t-thanks." I said in a very, very, very low voice.'
"What did you said?" he asked, teasingly.
"N-n-nothing!.. I-i-it's n-nothing!!.. I did not say anything." I shouted to him as i turned my back o him losing my, as they say, cool-and-spicy character. I saw his smirk go wider.
"I was surprised to know that you're afraid of cats."
"N-not really."
"Is that true."
"I already said, I'm not afraid of cats. It's just that they were very, very angry." I said, calm, "I hate angry eyes" I added with the lowest voice possible. Just then, he glared at me with burning eyes. Then he gave me an evil grin, a very mean one. I felt scared. So without thinking I ran away, shouting:
"Baka-baka neko-mimi boy!!!..." I ran straight to home. Again, I didn't even have the chance to ask his name, but I'm sure I won't bother to know anymore. I know I heard him chuckle while I'm running away. What does he think of me, a toy or a clown. He's so mean. I don't like him.

It's already Monday, the first day that I'm going to spend my afternoon, studying with my still unknown tutor, instead of being with my prince (and also the other Guardians) in the Royal Garden. It's luchbreak, I went to tthe canteen to forget the stress that my blonde seatmate is giving me and also to buy my lunch. I sat alone, Nadeshiko need to practise dancing for a program so she can't join me. I stared into the juice that I bought while slowly sipping. I thought about how nice will it be if only my blonde seatmate will be a little bit friendlier. I was pacing out when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a smiling Kukai. He's a very good friend to me. It always feels good to see hm. He always make me smile and even laugh (but not as much as my prince does) when I'm feeling down.
"So Amu, you're bothered by your new classmate."
"She has long blonde hair that are always tied to pigtails. She's very beautiful. I want to approach her because she's my seatmate. But it's like she has a barrier to keep people away from her. She just sits there, don't recite or participate and just stare on the teacher, and the moment the bell for dismissal and lunchbreak rings, she disappears like a bubble. I don't even know her name." Kukai just stared at me. It seems like he's thinking of something.
"Based on you description, I might know who she is."
"Really?!"
"Yes, I think she is Utau Hoshina. She's just like that. She doesn't want to talk to anybody except for her brother."
"I bet her brother is like her."
"No, he's the direct opposite. Her brother is a friendly man, almost naughty. He's a senior jr. high student. He's a very bright student, he doesn't have to pay for the fees because his scores reached the requirements for a full scholarship. I fact, he's your afternoon tutor."
"Really?! How did you know?"
"Well, you see, Tadase, your tutor, and me are friends for a couple of years now. So we're preety close."
"What is his name?"
"Oh that, it's still a secret. Tadase told me not to reveal it to you before you and your tutor meet."
xXx-oOo-xXx
"Goodbye, everyone." I said "I'll be going now." I added.
"We'll miss you, Amu-chii." Yaya said, baby-ish as ever
"Good luck on your tutor session, Amu." Nadeshiko added.
"I know you'll pass.." Kukai said with a wink.
"I know you'll get along with you're tutor, Hinamori Amu-san." my prince said smiling. How I love that smile. How I love his cute face. I went out. Nikaido-sensei said that we will be studying at the library. So I went there. I saw the library door. My curiosity climed to its peak as I draw nearer and nearer to the door. I'm ecited to know what my tutor is like, what Tadase-kun's close friend is like, and what's the attitude of the brother of Hoshino, Utau. I opened the door and walked inside. I saw Nikaido-sensei sitting on one of the tables, looking down the floor.
"Nikaido-sensei." I called out. He looked at me and smiled.
"Oh, Himamori-san. I was worried you won't show up. We've been waiting fot you for almost 25 minutes. What took you so long?"
"Sorry sensei. There was an unexpected work for the Guardians and we needed to finish it today so---"
"Ok, stop. Don't continue. Let's just wait for your tutor."
"Sensei, where's my tutor."
"He said he's thirsty so he went out to drink. He went out a little while ago so I think he's already returning." Nikaido-sensei said. I sat down on one of the chairs nor facing the wall. I don't want to stare at somebody and mistake him as my tutor. We waited. After a couple of minutes, I heard a deep familiar voice.
"Yo, Himamori, Amu-san. Your tutor is here." the familiar voice said. I turned to see who's talking. I saw a familiar dark blue hair and sapphire eyes. It was the same boy who saved me from the cats.
