Chapter 2
Do you believe in destiny?
The next day was cold and gloomy. Fall finally show its presence. All students were seated neatly and punctual at their desks, ready to gain new knowledge.
"Oh shit! I am late!"
All students except for Asakura Yoh, who tried to fix his clothes on the way to his class. He ran across the campus to the main building, while the bell rang fort he first time. But then he saw a small figure wearing a black coat, near the apple baskets. He can´t see her face because her red bandana blocked his view. He could only see some blond locks. Yoh wasn't exactly sure, but it looked like the person was stealing Apples.
Without time to think about his next action. He ran to that person and called out "Hey! You there! Stop it!"
Just then the person twitched and a few apples were dropping to the ground before she started to run.
Now Yoh was sure, that this person was indeed stealing apples. He run faster until he was able to reach her, with one swift motion he grabbed her bandana, which fell off. And with his other hand he was able to get a hold of her wrist.
Just then she turned around with wide eyes, which turned in the next second into a glare.
Yoh just couldn't believe his eyes. She was the most beautiful human being he has ever seen. From her smooth skin to perfect facial featured, those blond locks which reach past her shoulders. But what amazed him the most and scared him the same time was her lovely amber colored orbs. Those eyes with the combination of her stare send shivers down his spine. But he couldn't help but smile at her. He didn't notice that she tried to escape his strong but firm hold on her wrist.
"Let me go!" she told him, but he just stared at her. So she tried again.
"Let me go, or else you will suffer." She told him again and send him the most terrifying glare she could give a person, but he remained in their position.
That's it! She told herself. He really wants to suffer!
Slap!
With wide eyes he let go of her hand to touch his swollen cheek. Ouch!
"Anna!", some girls in the distant called out.
The girl with the sharp glare responded to it "I am here!"
Before she runs off, she glared at him one more time and spoke three little words Yoh hadn´t seen coming.
"Go and Die!"
Yoh just stood there shocked, with wide eyes, his mouth open wide and the ribbon which held his hair together broken, leaving his hair swaying in the cold wind. Just then the bell rang again and took him back to reality.
He smiled "Anna. What a cute name." just then he realized that he still has her red bandana in his hand.
"Anna." He said again softly. Then he runs of to his class with the thought:
´How can a fragile girl like her slap that hard? But she is really cute though.´

Later that day, Horo went downtown to get a package from his sister at the Post office. On his way through the busy street, he took the photo of him and the girl out of his pocket and glanced at it.
While passing a Jewelry shop, he heard a familiar voice „How much does this set of earrings cost?"
Horo turned around and saw a pink haired girl have a debate with the seller.
„A dozen cost 1000 yen.", the seller stated.
„What 1000 a dozen? Usually I buy a pair of earrings for just 100 yen.", the pink haired girl replied confussed.
„Yes but this time you can get a dozen for 1000 yen.", the seller tried to explain, but was cut off by the girl.
„No,No. Last week a friend of mine, got ten pair of earrings for just 1000 yen."
About then Horo was standing besides the girl and thought:
´´So, destiny leads us together. I knew it!´´
„Yes. But today you can get a dozen for 1000 yen!", just then the seller saw Horohoro. „Please! Can you explain it to her?"
The girl turned around and shove her shopping bags at Horo, without looking at him . „Can you hold these please? Just for a second."
Then she looked back at the seller while opening her purse. „Just pack ten pairs for me and I am only paying the regular price, which are 1000 yen!" , the girl said, while blowed out er cheeks.
„You know, a dozen are twelve pairs and not just ten pairs.", Horo tried to explain, with an amused expression on his face.
„Really?", she turned around to face Horohoro. „Then… I guess I am buying twelve for 1000 yen.", the girl turned to the seller and tried to hide her embarrassment.
She paid and shoved her purchase in one oft he shopping bags, which were still in Horo´s arm. Then she took the bags, thanked him and went off. Suddenly she stopped and turned around to take a better look at him.
He just smiled at her. With wide eyes she approached him and ask with a quivering voice :" H-Horo? Horokeu Usui?!"
„Tamao…", Horo replied still smiling.
„KYAAA! Horo! It´s really you!", she gave him a hug. „Since when are you here in the city?"
„I am a X-Laws student now. Thats why I am here in the city. Since the beginning oft the semester.", he anserwed with a sheepish smile.
„Not bad, mister Usui.", she eyed his uniform. „But that also means, that you are here in the city for quite a while without trying to contact me?!"
„Listen…", Horo started, but was cut off.
„Save it! I bet, you wasn´t even thinking bout me! Or that I also live here in this city, Baka!", Tamao said, with a pout.
While they were arguing, Horo´s photo fell to the ground, which was noticed by a little boy. He picked it up and turned to the blue haired boy.
„Is that yours, mister?"
„Oh yea! Thanks little one!", Horo said and snapped the photo from the boy's hand before Tamao could see it.
"What´s this?" Tamao asked and pointed to the photo in Horo´s hand.
"Oh, nothing! J- Just a shopping list!", he replied while a blush appeared on his face.
"And did you get everything?", Tamao asked while eyeing the piece of paper.
Horo looked at the photo and back at his childhood friend and smiled warm "Yes."
"Ok! Then let´s go, I bet Otousan will be happy to finally see you again! And I can cook you your favorite dish!", Tamao called out happy while she dragged Horo behind her.
"Wait! I have to go back to the collage!", Horo stopped Tamao.
"OK… but promise to visit me.", the pink haired girl said disappointed while releasing his hand.
"Promised!"

Ren was standing at the train station, in the late evening. A blanket of stars above him, while the cold air surrounded him. His dark coat and the large yellow scarf shield him from the cold wind, which passed by.
The train station was pretty empty at this time of the day. Only him and the guard.
"Excuse me.", Ren asked the guard as he passes by. "When will the train from Chokohama arrive?"
"Actually, it should have already arrived at this time. But I guess it will arrive any minute.", the guard answered him. "Who are you waiting for? If I may ask."
"I am just waiting for a professor.", the student answered politely.
"Just be patient.", the guard said smiling. Then he walked away.
Ren stuffed his hand´s in his coat pockets to give him extra warmth. His glance wandered to the starry night sky, then down to the top of a hill where a Sakura tree stood. Ren noticed a girl standing next to Sakura tree. She wore a long white dress with a black cardigan. Her red sad eyes were fixed on the train tracks. She seemed to wait for someone.
As the guard was about to pass by for the second time, Ren could not restrain his curiosity. So he asked:"Who is this girl?", while pointing with his chin to the hill.
"Ah. That's Jeanne, she often comes here.", the guard answered and set off again.
Ren eyes were fixed at the girl the whole time. "Jeanne.", he murmured to himself.
Finally the train was in sight. While the train arrived at the station, a wind passed by, causing Jeannes silver hair to dance in the wind. She raised a hand to put some strands of her long hair behind her ear. At the sight of her Ren´s heart skipped a beat and his face heated up. Suddenly the cold weather could not harm him anymore. And a smile crept on his lips.
Just when the train blocked his view, he came back to reality. And the reason why he actually was there, at the train station in the late evening, came back to his mind. Nevertheless he tried to catch a last glimpse through the windows of the train.
„Hey, you there! Are you from the X-Laws University?", a old man in a black suit called out.
„Yes!", Ren answered and walked to the professor. And because of the gentleman he was, he took the suitcase to carry it to the car.
The train leave the station and Ren took the opportunity and looked back to the hill. He saw that the silver haired girl turned around walked down the hill. When she was out of his sight he decided to go. That night he swore to himself, that this was definitely not the last time he would see her. He would never admit it, but this mysterious girl really interested him.
