AN: Hi, everyone, this is my first time writing a fanfic, and thanks for reading this story even if it is for a glance; I had to write out a lot of stuff in spite of my current busy schedule of lessons on critical hearing and music.(I study Music and Audio Technology, 1st year) I swear my ears are going to be ripped off by the torture of differentiating high frequencies and loud amplitude. I guess trying to learn how to be a music producer or in that line of work is not that bad...

Chapter 1

The sun has begun to set, the moon has started to rise. Aika eyed Yoshino as if she has unveiled a wonderful mysterious treasure box while leading him through a clearing, heading towards two large buildings separated by fences and a river in the middle.

What is his reason for joining this school? This school is only for those that have high positions in the society like the aristocrats or for people who are genius...

"Ne, Takigawa-kun, what is your reason for joining this school?"

Yoshino's thoughts

Blink, blink.

.

This is bad, should I tell her?

.

.

.

What should I do...

Yoshino's thoughts end

He let his eyes quickly roam about the area and immediately set his sights on two huge magnificent buildings painted mostly white in contrast to its colourful surroundings. (more of green though, the school's located in the valley) An idea came into mind.

"Um... Fuwa-san, are those the boys and the girls dormitories?"

Yoshino looked at his newly acquainted friend and was shocked when he saw a tick mark appeared on her head. He could even feel a deathly aura coming from her even if they were a metre apart.

"Uhh... What did I just say?"

"Don't call me that! And yes those are the dorms. The right one surrounded by tall iron gates with flower motifs and with several barriers drawn up to keep the boys out is the girls dorm whereas the left one is the boys. I don't really have to describe the boys dorm now do I? Now, choose a good name to address me before I start to harm you in the courtesy of your very first friend in this school you fool. Don't expect me to treat you that nicely as I have a hunch that you are an evil bastard who has a manipulative mind that can make people play into your grasp." She twirled her hair within her fingers while aiming an icy glare at him.

Uh oh, she's mad... Who knew she's conscious of people close to her giving her honorifics...

"Sorry for my behaviour. Thank you for guiding me to the dorms. The sky is getting dark, so see you tomorrow, Aika-chan." He spoke the three sentences gratefully but hurriedly and bowed. A look of surprise was evident on Aika's face as she struggled to pull a calm facade. With her cheeks turning slightly pink, she replied, "Apology accepted. See you tomorrow afternoon then, I'll introduce my brother to you under the hollowed tree located at the edge of the mountain ridges behind the dorm. It is a public gathering spot where students usually goes when they have a break. Bye."

"Sure. You're not as bad as you seems, Aika-chan."

And with that, he proceeded to his dorm.

That's the first time someone called me Aika-chan...

- - - The Boy's Dorm - - -

T,

Ta,

Tak,

Taki,

Takigawa,

WHERE ARE YOU?!

Yoshino's mind went ranting off as he tiredly searched for his name on a large noticeboard that is located at the hall of the dorm. He ignored the stares of the newcomers and the seniors whom were wondering what had happened to him for his rugged appearance as a result of the collision of attacks two hours ago. After locating his name and his room key, he immediately proceed to the stairs.

5 minutes passed as he walked up the stairs to his room with a shiny key in hand. His name tag dangled through the flat side of the key with a tiny scribble at the back, 1079. Level 1 - door 80 - shared dorm with key holder 1080. The not-yet-man-not-a-boy brunette mentally cringed as he remembered that he did not like sharing rooms that much due to being the only child of the family. He quickly unlock the door and noticed that the room is still empty. The room is located at the end of the corridor and therefore has two windows unlike the other rooms that have only a window each.

Lucky... Now for dinner... Mom's special bento that could still be eaten though it's cold.

Finishing his dinner, he spent the next few hours showering, changing, and finally drawing. Drawing in notebook always makes him feel at ease. Accompanied with the wind that blows through the valley with the help of open windows, and the silence of the room, to him, he felt at peace. His mind made up, deciding that he will now take control of his freedom in this school, will not be held under his ancestors' views on people of the low magic class. He will, in the future, change their views on these people, like his cheerful mother, and make them acknowledge him as a person and not viewed as a tool for power.

"Our bodies are gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners." [Othello, Shakespeare, line 320 in Act 1 scene 3]

Mom, don't worry, I'll make you proud.

And so, the next day, he woke up face to face with a pair of scrutinising amber coloured eyes.

End of Chapter 1

Ahhh, I've finally finished this chapter. Sorry for it's slow pace because this is what I had in mind. I started this story because I was bored and did these two chapters out of pure inspiration even though I had a plot of mine. I'll probably update next week. Exams are coming, projects are coming... Can't wait for June holidays to start.

R&R.
