Chapter 1- The Arrival
"How long till we reach there?" the girl with crimson blood hair which falls to the mid of her back, siting on one end of a white silvery Sedan Limousine, facing the window, asked. "About 10 minutes, my lady." A woman wearing a black suit, glasses on the eyes with black lens covering the eyes, her long black hair tied up to a ponytail. The girl continue to watch the scenery outside of the car, the area was thickly forested, making the whole plot of land green. "The autumn over here must be nice." The girl softly said. "This place won't disappoint you, my lady, I'm sure it will be quite the sight." A gentleman gently said, he dress almost identical to the women, his hair was a modern classic side hairstyle. "I hope it won't, after all autumn is my favourite season." The girl said.
"We're almost there, my lady." The woman said. The limo soon stop in front of the gate of her new school. She have asked to go early so as to not attract too many attention, however she didn't know that there was a dorm near the school, some students had already spotted her limo.
She sighed, but dragged herself up and exited the limo, with the help of her two bodyguards.
Beautiful, is an understatement to describe her beauty, hers was indescribable, and no words from the universe could describe how captivating her looks are. Her skin tone, her eye colour, her hair colour and the way she dress. Every students present around her, freeze to the spot and was in awe, some drool over her. However, she pay no mind to her surrounding and step foot on the school ground. Two figures was waiting for her, the main entrance of Miator itself.
POV—Shizuma
She was surprised, the moment she saw her, from her distance to her, she can already smell the perfume she had used, the light but strong smell of strawberries. She thought herself would be intoxicated by her, no words could describe her, her look was calm, beautiful and strong which have motivated her to search for other type of facial expression that would be adorn by that defiant girl.
"Ahhh, I want to taste her blood already." Whined Shizuma. "You got to be kidding me, this is just the first meeting and you behaving like this. Good grieve, get a hold of yourself, Shizuma!" chided Miyuki. Shizuma giggled and grinned when she approached them, bodyguards side by side. "I might run off with her, if I can't take it anymore." Teased Shizuma as she approached the trio. Miyuki just sighed, if she had scold Shizuma right there and there, the trio will hear and it might embarrassed the school reputation, but as the school president she can never let it happen, and so she let this nth attempt slide past.
POV—Third person
"You two must be the school president and the Etoile, am I right?" The women ask politely. "Yes, I am Rokujo Miyuki, Miator school president and beside me is Hanazono Shizuma, the Etoile." Miyuki replied as both of them gave a slight bow. The girl was looking elsewhere, she did not hear Kurachi, her female bodyguards, talking to the two student council.
Shizuma noticed her direction and say, "That school is St. Spica's Girls Institute, they are very known for their sports." The girl heard the sentence and turned her attention to the silver beauty, their eyes make contact for the first time, she turned back and look to the side where the chapel is. "The chapel is often used by the Spica Choir, they usually practised there. The chapel is also used on special occasion too." Shizuma say as soon as saw her looked at the chapel. "I guess this place have places to explore." She spoke. 'Her voice is smooth, calm, soft and alluring as well.' Shizuma noticed and gave a gentle smile towards the girl.
Suddenly the male bodyguards bend to height level of her and whisper softly to her. Her eyes widened slightly and Shizuma noticed it. "Ahh, I forgot to introduce myself, sorry for the disrespect. My name is Aoi Nagisa, nice to meet you" She said while reaching her hand towards the both of them. Miyuki and Shizuma were both surprised of her politeness and here Miyuki thought she would be a troublemaker. 'I guess I assume way too fast.' Miyuki thought. Shizuma recovered and gently grab the younger girl delicate hand and said, "I am Hanazono Shizuma, the Etoile, I hope you will enjoy your school years, Aoi-san." And she show a gentle and warm smile towards Nagisa. Nagisa did the same greeting towards Miyuki and said, "Don't be so formal, just call me by my first name, Nagisa and please no need for honorifics, or…" "Or?" Miyuki curiously ask. "Or I will cause as much troubles so that we all have a mountain load of paper work to do." Nagisa replied with an innocent smile. 'I spoke too soon." Miyuki thought with a dreadful look on her face. While, Shizuma was laughing next to Miyuki.
"Ahem." Kouga, Nagisa male bodyguard, all turned to his direction, "Enough jokes, I would like to speak to the headmistress about admin things, so could the student councils lead the way please." He said. "You just ruined the mood Kouga-san." Nagisa said. "He's right, Admin stuff comes first before any other, how about the Etoile show Nagisa the school compound while I lead the both of you to the Headmistress office?" Miyuki suggested. Both the guards look at each other, as though speaking to one another. "Will the Etoile do any funny towards, my lady?" Kurachi asked. "What do you mean 'funny'"? Miyuki asked. "As you know this is an all-girl school, I do not wish my lady to be a part of the nonsense." Kurachi say. 'She quite straight forward.' Miyuki silently thought. "Do not worry, bodyguard-san, I won't do anything that is 'nonsense' in your dictionary, if I have done it, you can come and kill me but let me make it clear, as Etoile, my role is to protect the students and not harass them." Shizuma calmly said with a hint of seriousness. Kurachi and Kouga both look at Shizuma as though confirming her words. 'I find the contradictions in your words, Shizuma.' Miyuki silently judge. "We shall place my lady in your hands, but if you dare touch my lady in a despicable way, you will pay the price, Hanazono –Sama." Kurachi said venomously. "At least you know the person you dealing with." Shizuma said as she smirk. "Enough with the children act, we should go now." Kouga said, he turned towards Shizuma and say, "Do not forget your words as well and I wish you watch your words, Hanazono-Sama." And they walk to the Head Mistress office, led by Miyuki.
"Ohh, you are brave, no one dares to say a word let alone smirk at Kurachi when she is like that." Nagisa say while smiling. "Well, as a Hanazono I was teach to hold my own grounds." Shizuma simply reply. 'Her smile is truly cute.' Shizuma silently thought. "But, I apologise for my bodyguard behaviour, I hope you can forgive her." Nagisa say while bowing. "There's no need for an apology, I quite like people that can oppose, it make life a bit of fun, now let's us explore the school grounds, I promise not to do anything funny." Shizuma said while winking. Nagisa could only giggle. 'She truly is different from all those spoiled rich children.' Nagisa thought.
LOCATION—HEAD MISTRESS OFFICE
Miyuki wasn't allowed in, so she sat outside further away from the door to give them some privacy as she waited patiently.
"She have safely reach here, Sister Mizue." Both the guard say. "Yes, she have, I will take responsibility in taking care of her, the Etoile and the school president will aid me with the task but they won't know what she actually capable of." Sister Mizue said as she is on her chair across the two bodyguards. "I won't let them touch her or any of the vampires here." She said in a serious tone. Kouga say, "With your power and the secret discipline council members, I can see how this place is the safest area for young, untrained and vulnerable vampires. However, my lady is trained on how to protect herself so there won't be too much damage, but I fear they will bring in someone who is stronger."
"There's no need to worry, the council vampires are all elites after all, if there's any other concern please let me know." Sister Mizue said gently. "If I may." Kurachi started. Two pairs of eyes was on her. "Hanazono Shizuma, do not let her near my lady, I can tell she will do it." Sister Mizue was surprised but gave a short laugh. "She can be quite the player, but the president will manage her, I know she can, I keep an eye on her if that satisfy you." Kurachi sighed in relief, "Thanked god, I have a feeling she want to taste my lady precious blood." Sister Mizue giggled at that statement. "Starting tomorrow, Nagisa will stay at the dorm, she will be with a roommate, and would she be alright with it?" she asked. "If the roommate isn't an annoying type, my lady won't mind." Kurachi answered. "I guess this will be it, I hope both of you will get back safely, have a safe flight." Sister Mizue said as she smiled.
As soon both of the bodyguards left, "I won't disappoint you, Master Aoi." Sister Mizue softly say as she stood up and turned behind to look at the big wide window, showing the two bodyguard leaving and Miyuki was by the side bowing. "Now then, I need to see how strong, Nagisa is, I guess I will see it by myself after she is fully rested, a week or so I guess." Sister Mizue said to no one in particular.
LOCATION—IN FRONT OF MARIA-SAMA STATUE
"Where will our first place be?" Shizuma said to herself. "Somewhere peaceful, I guess and also tell me more about the schools I saw just now." Nagisa ask. "You quite the Oujo-sama, be patient Nagisa-chan, I explain on the way to the peaceful place." Shizuma replied as she hold out her hand.
'I remember saying no honorifics, I guess I let this slide.' Nagisa thought as she accepted Shizuma leading hand.
