The Colours of Love: Chapter 4

"Oh my God…I'm a chicken."

Once again, Arisa's dream was filled with strange things. But this time was more random than strange. This night, she dreamt of eggs. All types of eggs; from fried eggs to Easter eggs, it was all there.

As she dreamt, her legs kicked around, underneath the sheets that covered her. The last thing she heard before were three small voices speaking to her. A boy's and girl's voices calling, "Wake up Arisa-chan!!"

Her mind followed the words of the voices, and her eyes fluttered open and her dormant mind awoken. Ceremonially, she kicked her legs a bit more, looking over to the window. It was still somewhat dark out, and the clock read '6:45 AM' Suddenly, one of her feet came in contact with something cold and smooth. But not just one; there was another, but this one was also quite cold.

Shooting a puzzled look at a blank space on the wall, as quietly as she could, threw off the covers of the bed onto the floor.

Laid before her were eggs; two eggs that were about the size of her hand. They each had their own unique designs, but both with a pair of wings on them.

One of them was light blue with a pair wings made of ice on it. When she picked it up, it was freezing and according to what her dad had taught her about eggs, nothing can survive in the egg if it was too cold.

She set it down on her pillow and picked up the next. It was pure white with a picture of a pair of icy blue wings. This egg was almost the opposite of the previous one, colour wise. It was also freezing cold, and whatever was in this egg would meet the same fate as the other one.

"And I thought puberty was weird before."

After setting it next to the other egg, Arisa began to think about where they had come from.

'Maybe one of Kuukai's brother's put it there while I was asleep as a joke…or maybe they were always in the bed and I just never noticed…'

For a while, she thought of multiple scenarios, but all of them seemed to backfire eventually. Her last idea was the least likely, most insane, but…for some reason it made the most sense to her.

Maybe she laid them.

Realizing how true this may be, she frantically tried thinking of reasons how this would be impossible, in a panic.

"Eggs? Why are eggs here? I'm a human, and people don't lay eggs. I know birds lay eggs, and so do fish, lizards, some bugs, insects, and platypuses. But, humans don't! Last I checked I was human…right?"

For several seconds, her mind was totally blank, then she admitted it to herself; "Oh my God…I'm a chicken." She scrambled backward in a panic, eventually falling off the end of the bed, landing with a thump on the floor. She looked over at Kuukai who was still sound-asleep on his bed. "Thank goodness."

All she could think of doing was keeping them until they do something, but she also thought that she should tell Kuukai, and maybe ask if this was normal in Tokyo.

Considering these were the only options she had, she glanced at the eggs on her bed and crawled over to Kuukai.

By now, the sun had begun to rise, and the clock had struck 7:00. Arisa crawled over to Kuukai bed and stood on her knees to face him, face-to-face.

"Psst! Kuukai, wake up," she whispered poking his cheek with her index finger.

Groaning, he shuffled in bed for a bit, but finally eyelids lifted revealing his sleepy green eyes gazing into her own. "Morning Arisa-chan, what time is it?" He grumbled into his pillow.

"Still early, but I have a question to ask you," she said, attempting to keep her voice down. She shifted her weight out of un-easiness and avoided his curious gaze.

Kuukai sat up in bed, leaning on his elbows, "What's the matter Arisa-chan?"

She had sat down on her knees and started entwining her fingers together; a habit she had started when she got nervous. Eventually, he sighed and sat up in bed. "Come Arisa, what is it…" His voiced trailed off, when his gaze fixed itself on the small round objects in her bed.

He jerked forward and jumped over onto her bed picking up the object and staring at them with massive amount of concentration.

The sudden movement had startled her, causing her to flinch. Recovering herself, she joined Kuukai on her bed.

"So, what are they?" She asked stretching her neck forward to get a better look at the eggs. Sighing, Kuukai stared at the eggs for a while longer, but finally replied to her. "You see Arisa, when kids like us have a dream that they really want to fulfill, something out there sends something to help us realize this dream and it helps make us who we want to be. "

All she could really do was nod as he explained about dreams, and eggs and true selves, but when he finished she asked, "So, what should I do."

He smiled, "Luckily for you, I happen to have experience with egg laying people." This caused her to tilt her head to the side cutely and stare at him with curiosity, "Really?"

He shot her a mischievous smile he quietly called out in the direction of his bed, "Daichi! Come here."

Arisa's eyes widened in pure surprise when she say a little person, no less than three inches float up to them. He had bright turquoise hair with a white headband and a star clip on it, a simple yellow t-shirt, a pair of white shorts and yellow and white running shoes on his feet.

"Kuukai…what do you want so early in the morning?" He grumbled, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Seeing the tiny figure float across the room, Arisa's jaw dropped and she was left utterly speechless.

"Wha-What is he?" She demanded, raising her voice. Kuukai quickly shushed her, covering her mouth with his hand. His gaze moved towards the door to make sure that she had not woken anyone up. Sighing of relief, he removed his hand from her face, fingers brushing against her lips, causing her to extensively blush.

After noticing the blush on her face, he couldn't help but blush himself. Their eyes met, and right as he leaned down…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!!

The alarm clock rang. Going back to her senses, she scooted away from him, still with a faint blush on her cheeks. Kuukai exhaled deeply, for he was holding his breath that entire time.

"Well, I guess it's time for you to try your uniform on, and hopefully we got you the right size." He joked. When he looked at her, her face was slightly flushed, which made his own cheeks turn pink at the sight of hers. Dismissing the thought, he took her by the hand and led her to the closet.

As he opened the sliding door of the closet, he reassured, "Don't worry about your eggs, but you should bring them to school and make sure nobody sees them. I'm pretty sure I have something for you to keep them in…" as he finished his sentence he trailed off, digging in the closet.

She sat down his bed, and laid down on her side, curling up in his blankets while inhaling his scent. Suddenly there was a giggle. "Did you hear that? She asked Kuukai, sitting up in his bed. "Not really," he replied, still digging through the contents of the closet.

Arisa shook her head, "No, it's nothing."

'Arisa-chan's a smelling pervert!" One of the voices exclaimed.

"Kuukai," she got up and walked over to him, "I'm hearing voices."

At this statement, he poked his head out from the closet and stared at her strangely, "That would probably be the eggs talking to you," and with that he returned to going through the contents of the closet.

At this, she gave a confused look and sat back down onto his bed, cross-legged and continued to watch him rummage through the stuff, while taking quick glances at the two eggs by her side.

Eventually he stopped searching for whatever he was looking for and opted to just giving her the uniform to change into. Kuukai pulled out a rectangular box with a red ribbon tied around it and handed it to Arisa, which she accepted.

"If it doesn't fit or anything, just let me, or my mom, or somebody know. Then you'll get to skip school today!" With that, he left the room shutting the door behind him.

Deeply sighing, Arisa pulled on one of the ends of the ribbon, releasing the bow and opening the box. She set it down on her bed and pulled out each article of clothing, one by one. First there was a simple white, button-down dress shirt, along with a plain red tie and a black jacket that went over the shirt. Then, her eyes widened once more.

In her hands was a plaid red skirt that barely reached her knees.

Rolling her eyes at this…disgraceful uniform (to her dignity at least) she pulled off the top of her pyjamas and put on her undergarments along with a white undershirt she had packed. Not bothering to put the jacket on, she knocked on her side of the door, signalling for Kuukai to enter.

When Kuukai pushed the door open and looked in, Arisa was glaring at him impatiently, with her arms crossed. Their eyes met, his face flushed and said, "Arisa, you do know you're not wearing pants right?"

She continued to glare, "Yeah I do. What do you expect me to wear?" She suddenly walked up to him, "THAT?" She demanded pointing dramatically at the skirt sitting innocently on the bed.

Cocking an eyebrow at her actions he nodded slowly in response, "Yeah, its part of the uniform and if you don't wear it I'm going to get in trouble." She fell to the ground, crossing her arms and pouted at this information. Kuukai himself, had crossed his arms over his chest and shifted his weight, being somewhat amused at her behaviour.

There was a silence, and Arisa wouldn't give in. Suddenly, Kuukai got a devious idea; very devious indeed.

"I heard you're ticklish," he threatened, smirking. This made her stand up and back away from him, "You wouldn't dare!!" But sadly for her; he did.

Kuukai ran up to her and wiggled his fingers at her sides causing her to go into a non-stop laughing fit, while flailing her legs around successfully kicking him in the stomach.

This procedure continued for a while, but when Arisa was at her limit, she gave in and pulled the skirt up her legs and fastened it with a belt. Along with that, she put on a pair of short shorts, which were miraculously shorter than the shirt, and a pair of knee length white socks.

By then, Kuukai had sat down, leaning against the closet door, panting and watched in amusement as Arisa frantically jumped up and down, trying to get her socks on. Finally she succeeded and demanded him to leave the room.

"Why?" He asked suspiciously, as if she was going to randomly hit him, "I've already seen you with no pants on so what can be worse than that?"

"I need to re-tie my hair." She responded matter-of-factly.

He sent her a strange look, "Is your hair ever down?"

"Can you please turn around?" With this statement, she bent down on her knees giving him the kicked puppy look, which of course, worked. Smiling at her accomplishment, she turned to face the mirror on the desk and pulled the hair ties out of her hair. After quickly brushing her hair, she tied her air back into pigtails, picking out two red hair ties from the pile she had invaded the Souma's desk.

When she finished adjusting her bangs, she tuned to Kuukai who was sitting a foot or two away from her, still facing the wall.

"Finished!" She chirped spinning around to face him. He turned around, only to blush at her appearance once more.

"A-alright," he stuttered. Taking a small pouch from his bed, he threw it over to Arisa who caught it with ease. The pouch was camouflage with a strap to go over her shoulder and a small square compartment just big enough for each of her eggs.

Arisa brought it over to her bed, where she put her two eggs in. The temperatures had not changed, and they were still basically the same.

She frowned at this. If something like Kuukai's 'chara' was going to hatch out of the eggs, she hoped it would be alright. As she approached the door, Kuukai also handed her a leather briefcase with all the necessities she'll need for her classes.

She walked out of the room, following Kuukai into the kitchen where the family was gathered. All of the siblings were sitting at the table eating their breakfast in peace, but when Arisa greeted them, acquiring their attention, all hell broke loose.

"Ohayo," she mumbled at the crowd, still somewhat tired and not a morning person. Each of the siblings had stopped in mid-bite of their breakfast and stared at her. Feeling the awkward-ness of the situation, she stared at them curiously. And this is where all hell broke loose.

"KAWAII!!!" Rento and Unkai cheered, jumping up and hugging her tightly. She watched Kuukai flinch in fear and Suusui smirk, taking a sip of his tea…or whatever he was drinking. Pouting, she finally had enough of this suffocation.

"Get off me!!" She shouted, in her unusually loud voice. Her exclamation made the two brothers release her, and with that she walked to the table and took one of their plates, eating it.

And apparently…it was Rento's plate; covered in pancakes. And once again; there goes hell.

"ARISA! GIVE ME MY PANCAKES!"

She stared at him with a blank look on her face, and then shook her head stubbornly with a mouth full of his pancakes.

He sent glares at her, in which she returned with ease. And when he glared harder, she would glare harder. Then eventually, he would give up and they would recommence their battle.

For a moment, he had left Arisa to continue consuming his pancakes to think of another way to get them back. But sadly in that period of time, Arisa had finished the pancakes, taken her lunch from the counter and dashed through the door following Kuukai to her new school.

A silence had filled with kitchen, with Rento still in his signature thinking pose. "I so knew they left the room okay?" he said to his older brothers.

Unkai couldn't help but laugh at his younger brother's utter stupidity.

-

"Goodness skirts are…flappy," Arisa muttered, glancing back at the red, plaid cloth flapping behind her as she ran.

The two of them sped down the sidewalk, avoiding random pedestrians as they ran. As she caught her breath at the first cross-walk, Kuukai explained to her the arrangement his mom and her parents had organized for them.

"I get the honour of walking you to and from school," he explained putting stress on the word 'honour' which made her stick her tongue out playfully at him. "Then after I escort you to your class, I go to school and get you after school."

They had arrived at the school about 5 minutes before the bell rang. So for the time being, Arisa basically spilt her guts out about how nervous she was. And Kuukai could only reassure her, patting her on her back. The five minutes flew by quickly, and the bell rang, signalling the start of classes.

Arisa expected him to walk ahead of her, guiding her, but instead she was forced in front of him and had to remember her own way around.

She entered through the main entrance along with a swarm of other kids, all wearing generally the same uniform and chattering away with friends. In her opinion, she was rather invisible, but some people who had actually noticed her stopped and whispered, "New girl," as she walked past. This made her feel uncomfortable and self conscious with herself.

Once she made it through the front door, it was less crammed, but was buzzing with kids of all ages rushing to get to their classes. She nervously glanced behind her, searching for Kuukai. But sadly, he was no where to be seen. Sighing in disappointment, she hurried up the main stairs and down the hall, sliding open the door to Star Class Six.

From the afar, Kuukai smiled at her, feeling somewhat proud with himself.

-

The class was quiet, and when she barged in, the class had exploded with laughter. The teacher, she had already met the day before. He still looked the same, but was currently underneath a gigantic pile of books and papers.

"Ah, Hoshiwa-san, so glad you can join us today." He greeted, smiling from under the pile, "Why don't you introduce yourself, while I get myself organized?"

Her gaze turned to the class who was staring at her judgingly. Gulping nervously, she gave the best introduction she could think of on the spot.

"I'm Hoshiwa Arisa! I moved here from the Hoshiko prefecture and I will be studying here for the year. I dislike snobs and obnoxious people, so if you aren't one we'll probably get along. I like sports, candy, animals and collecting hats. Also, I'm a tomboy and I think the school really needs to re-think their female uniforms!" She finished this with a smile and a peace sign that made most of the boys exclaim and shout.

Standing at the front of the classroom, she had a pretty good view of everybody in the class. One person she recognized was sitting at the side of the class, next to all her 'friends.' Saaya Yamabuki.

Saaya had acknowledged Arisa, but mostly looked away from her, ignoring her for the most part.

Arisa had also noticed that a blonde haired boy with strangely gentle red eyes was staring at her intently, but was taken out of his stare when the pink haired girl next to him pulled on his sleeve, consulting him about something. He looked over at a petit, curly blonde haired girl sitting behind him.

Then sighing in relief, she looked back at the teacher. "Sensei, where do I sit?"

Nikaidou who was in the middle of sorting out some papers said, "Right there would be fine," after looking up from his work and pointing out a seat in the middle of a crowd of boys, who had suddenly looked up at her from their apparent 'plotting'.

She made her way down the aisle of desks, receiving curious glances from her classmates. Finally, she reached her desk and sat down. Class flew by pretty quickly, and Arisa was even starting to get used to the curriculum at the school. She sometimes got confused, but figured it out eventually…sort of. Sadly it was fairly hard to concentrate judging how she was sitting in the midst of a bunch of males, AKA the non-stop-chatter-boxes.

Eventually, she snapped and threw an eraser at the most leader-like male, acquiring his attention. "Excuse me? But can you keep it down?" She whispered.

He looked shocked, Arisa assumed he had never expected her to stand up for herself. He replied, "Why don't you make me?" and recommenced chatting to his friends in hushed voices.

His remark made her feel somewhat offended; she whispered to him again, "Hey, do you know how to sleep with your eyes open?" He shook his head nervously. "Oh," she paused then smiled menacingly at him, "What a shame," and went back to paying attention to the lesson. Each of the boys had a look on their faced which resembled something between shocked and the 'Oh shit I'm going to crap myself' look, and for the rest of the period, none of them said a word.

Lunch finally, and Arisa ran to her locker to retrieve the package she had picked up this morning as she was ignoring Rento.

When she returned to the classroom, there was a group of girls crowding around someone. She mainly ignored it, but when she heard the person's voice she whipped around and pointed an accusing finger at him, "TRAITOR!"

His attention was caught by a fuming Arisa standing across the room from him. "How could you just ditch me like that?! I could've got hit by a bus!" She yelled at him.

"Arisa, you were inside," he said, trying to calm down the agitated girl in front of him.

"Well a bus could've crashed through the wall and hit me!!" she cried.

He sighed, "Arisa would a bus really go through all the trouble of crashing through a wall to hit you?"

Arisa rolled her eyes, "Not the bus; the bus DRIVER."

They fought for a little while longer, but Arisa had finally given up, and they sat down at her desk, discussing random topics as they ate. After a bit, Kuukai explained about the student counsel that he used to be part of before he graduated.

"Basically, we take care of the needs of the students, whether they need consulting or a tutor or something," he explained. Arisa nodded, taking another bite out of her lunch. "And we sort of have this 'Chairs System.'" To this, Arisa cocked an eye brow at him.

"Chairs System? Like, the chairs you sit on…?"

He chuckled at her interpretation and shook his head, "We base it off playing cards. We have a king, queen, jack, ace and joker. Usually we just sit around doing paper work, but luckily the jack and joker aren't required to do that kind of stuff." He glanced over to Arisa, who was avidly focussing on the chopsticks in her mouth. Suddenly she pulled them out, "But what does that have to do with chairs?"

Kuukai laughed out loud at how absolutely oblivious this girl was, "Nevermind, just pretend I never said anything."

Just then, three other classmates pulled their chairs up to the table where Arisa and Kuukai were seated and set their lunches down. Kuukai smiled brightly at the arrival, and after swallowing he introduced them to her.

But before Kuukai could say a word, Arisa put on a curious face and pointed a finger at the blonde haired boy, "You're pretty," she declared. There was an awkward silence in the group, and then Arisa shrugged, "I'm serious, prettiest dude ever." The petit blonde haired girl smirked in an amused manner, while the pinkette sent a glare at her new classmate.

"Arisa-san, that's Hotori Tadase. He's head of the student counsel A.K.A the king, and my best friend," Kuukai laughed. Tadase gave a friendly wave and smiled, trying his best to ignore Arisa's statement. Arisa waved back with a mouth full of rice, and pointed at the pink haired girl sitting next to him looking uneasy as if trying to keep her cool.

"Woo zat?" She mumbled through the food in her mouth. This was one of the many un-feminine traits her mom hated.

"That's Hinamori Amu-san, the joker. She transferred here last year." She muttered a greeting then crossed her arms, acting like she was too cool to talk to them.

"You're funny," Arisa stated, laughing at Amu's attitude, while pointing an accusing finger at her. Amu looked around nervously, and just chose to continue taking small bites of her lunch, pouting. This caused the petit blond girl next to her roll her eyes, yet it looked like she was also stifling a laugh at the same time.

"And that would be Mashiro Rima-san, the second queen." Kuukai remarked, waving his hand at the girl. While Arisa waved at her, Rima muttered, "Tch, boring," under her breath, then scooted closer to Amu. "Ouch, that hurt." Arisa murmured in response.

"And I am Kuukai, the awesomest ex-jack this school will ever have!" Kuukai exclaimed punching a fist into the air.

Being utterly oblivious to his exclamation, she asked, "So where are all the others?"

"Don't worry Hoshiwa-san, you'll meet them after school at the Royal Garden." Tadase explained.

"The Royal what-what?" She asked, sending a confused look at him.

"Aah, I see Souma-kun still hasn't explained about us," he paused, "That's alright. You can come after school and we'll explain everything there." Then before Arisa could say anything, the bell rang and all the students returned to their seats and Kuukai made his leave to who knows where.

The rest of the class was quite tiresome for Arisa, math equations always seemed to be thrown towards her. And hating math and doing it at the same time could get quite tiresome. So finally, when the torturous lesson was over, along with the school day, she collapsed into her chair, adoring the relaxation.

But sadly her near-sleep-mode was interrupted by at the familiar sound of papers landing onto her desk.

Homework, she groaned in her mind.

So sitting up (and facing her doomed faith) she picked up the papers stapled together, and glanced at the questions.

This time she verbally groaned, "More math?" She looked around the room, taking notice that everybody else's work load was considerably smaller than hers.

"What a gyp!!" She exclaimed to herself, but this caught the attention of the flustering sensei that finished handing out the papers, "Gomen ne Hoshiwa-san, but I just think you should get more practice on the work since you're new to it. One of Seiyu's students that have moved is coming back for about as long as you are soon, he's pretty smart, so I was considering him as a potential tutor for you."

"He goes to the middle school where Kuukai?" She asked, naturally curious.

Nikaidou glanced around somewhat nervously, "Well you see Hoshiwa-san…he's in the 5th grade."

The statement made her jaw drop open. A 5th grader tutoring me? She thought. Doing her best to control the outburst rising up her throat, she quickly took the papers, which she threw into her bag, she looked at her teacher, "Thanks for the offer sensei, but I think I'll be fine on my own." With that, she rushed past him and out the room where she caught sight of Kuukai who was leaning against the wall, apparently awaiting her arrival.

"So how was class?" He asked, breaking the silence between them.

She shrugged, "Class-ish."

Instead of following the path that they took to school, Kuukai took her by the arm and pulled her behind the school, next to where the forest was.

"Where are we going?!" Arisa demanded, trying to keep up with him, stumbling often.

"I'm taking you to the 'Royal-what-what"," he joked, making her stagger slightly behind, but eventually catch up with him. He noticed that Arisa had quickly lost interest of visiting the Royal Garden and pondered on a way to get her to speed up.

After walking ideally (and a little too innocently to Arisa), Kuukai snatched the hat off her head and dashed ahead, laughing. Arisa let loose a shriek and ran after him at full speed.

He led her around the trees, over bushes and fallen branches until they reached the desired destination. Kuukai stopped to catch his breath, but was suddenly tackled from behind.

"I caught you! Now hand over my hat!" Arisa shouted, sitting over his stomach. Being his own stubborn self, he stuck his tongue out at her, agitating her more than ever.

The duo wrestled relentlessly, until Arisa succeeded, pinning Kuukai to the ground, with his head facing downwards, and putting into one of the many wrestling holds that Hiro had taught her. "Now hand over the hat!"

Groaning in pain, he vigorously shook his head. She growled, and was about to voice another threat to the boy under her, when she heard other voices.

"Ne, erotic pair aren't they?" She heard a girl say, her voice just seemed to feel older than hers.

"Shinyu, shut up," the voice of another girl.

"Souma-kun, are you alright?" This voice, Arisa recognized.

"Tadase-san!" Arisa cried, glancing upwards, past her hat which she finally retrieved from the groaning boy under her.

Standing above her was a crowd of seven people, but only six of them were wearing the Seiyo uniform. Arisa recognized Tadase, Rima, and Amu from this morning. Behind them, was a majestic glass green house that shone in the sunlight, she guessed that was the Royal Garden.

"Holy shit…"
