~Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

The darkness that surrounded my mind, faded everything away.

I knew, that outside of this darkness was a powerful light.

It called to me, but I rejected it with all my might.

But, eventually I would have to accept it...

I opened my eyes.

The light from outside burned against my window.

Lazily, I rolled out of bed.
I slid open the window and looked down at the town.

It was morning, but the streets were calm.
I wished it was always this way.

I walked down stairs, and saw mail had been pushed through the mail slot.

'To the Parents of: ...'

Was labeled in big letters across the front.
Probaly from the school, I opened it.

I read the letter.

'Dear Guardians,

Nakashimi Eruna's Class 1-A, and _'s Class of 1-B,
will be taking a 3 day 3 night, trip to Hokkaido to study wildlife.
We will be staying at a designated camp, and the trip will be funded by the school. We leave at 9:30 a.m on Thursday morning. If you have any objections to your child attending, please keep your child at home and do not send them to school."

Thank you once again,
Principal T.

The trip.
I had forgot about it completely.

I looked at the time.
I could make it, but I would have to hurry.

My mind processed.
I didn't even want to go anyways.

Without a thought more, I placed the letter on the kitchen counter.

I bent down and started shifting through the cabinets.

Aha.
I pulled out a pan.

I fetched some eggs from the fridge, and seasoning from the spice drawer.

Breakfast sounded like a much better Idea to me.

Now all I needed was a bowl to mix the eggs in.
I searched around.

I found a small green bowl.

(Flashbacks)

"What the hell is this?"

(Sticks finger in bowl)

"Why is it purple!"

(Turns and yells)

"What did you do!"

(Bows and laughs)

"Sorry! I was trying to make something..."

I blinked.

Why was I remebering that now?
My eyes lingered back to the letter on the counter.

I walked over and picked it up.
Am I really...?

~Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

The bus had arrived, and we all began loading our things.

"Oh my, your face looks might' scary~", someone whistled.

"Oh does it?" I touched my face.

"Wait- what?" I turned.

"Oh how rude of me", a tall boy with blonde hair and blue eyes grinned at me.

"The Namez Kiro Willams, from class 1-B. An' you are?"

"I'm, Aioro Hidoru, class 1-A"

He threw his belongings into the bus.
"Well nice meetin' ya Aidoru, let's have fun on the trip 'kay?"

He smiled, and boarded the bus.

"Its 'Aioro'..."

People continued loading and boarding the bus.

Time was running out.
I stared up the road as hard as i could.

Kura...you'll come... won't you?

"Aioro! Your the last one. Hurry up and get on", Sensei yelled.

I sighed.

As I boarded the bus, I took one last glance at the road.

~Hokkadio's staryy nights~

My legs moved fast.
In my mind, there was no thought.

I could just feel myself rushing.

"Is this really that important?"

I still hadn't answered that question before rushing out the door.

Cars flew past, people flew past.

All I knew was that I had to hurry.

I made a sharp turn around the corner.
The school came into sight, and I saw the bus parked out front.

No one was outside the bus.
Except one lone person, who turned and slowly got on.

I saw a flash of blue hair.

I could feel my lips move.
"Aio-"

The doors closed and the bus whirred to life.
My legs slowed.

I was tired, and out of breath.

I looked at the window of the bus.
The class watched in amusement.

Midori smiled at me from the window.

Her mouth moved.
'How sad'

I saw Aioro walking to his seat.
Look outside.

He sat in his seat, and closed his eyes.

The bus whirred again.

~Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

Hey.

You want to know...more about me right?

She wasn't gonna come.
I felt a stab.

Suddenly, I didn't wanna go either.
I stood up.

"Sensei wait I-"
I looked outside.

A girl was standing outside the bus.

It couldn't be-
"Sensei! Stop the bus!"

"What are you doing? Get back in your seat-"

I rushed to the front of the bus and opened the door.

She stood there, emotionless, expressionless- but she was there.

"Kura...you came...", I sighed.
Relief flooded my entire body.

"Come on, get on the bus!" I motioned.

She stepped forward, then hesitated.

"Its okay" I reached out my hand.

~Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

He helped me quickly onto the bus, despite some of the dirty looks he got for it.

I collapsed into the seat, tired.

In each row, 3 seats were put next together.

I wasn't too glad to have to sit next to people for the long bus ride from Sapporo to Hokkaido.

The one in the aisle seat looked like he wanted to kill himself.

I wouldn't mind hopping on the same train either, I thought.

I stared out the window at the sky.
It looked like it was going to rain...

Rain always made me sleepy, I yawned as if to prove myself right.

I could just fall asleep right here...
but there was something annoying.

I could feel a pair of eyes on the back of my head.

Was that idiot staring at me...?

Yeah,... It had to be him.

Just Ignore it, I thought and began to close my eyes.

...

He was still staring at me.

GODDDD-
I snapped open my eyes and turned my head.

"Whoa ther'!", he jumped back.

A boy with Blonde hair and Ice blue eye's stared back at me.

I blinked.

"Ah,...sorry fer' wakin' yah...", He smiled and scratched his head.

A "Wtf" look wiped across my face.

"Ha ha, what a funny face yer' makin' there!"

My face twisted further.

"Your probaly thinkin'- who the fuck am I aren't you?

I shook my head.

"It's written all over yer' face", He laughed.

Caught..., I looked down.

"Well, my namez Kiro Willams", he pointed to himself.

"An' I probaly look strange to you because I'm from the states-
the United states.

New york to be exact, even though you probaly dun' know where the hell i'm talkin' about.

An' my talkin' might be a bit strange to yah', because i'm english...

"Ah! I'm just babblin' on an' on..., so you?", he looked towards me.

...

"Your supposed to introduce yourself next", he smiled.

"I know, I'm not stup-..."

"Oh! You finally talked?", he grinned.

Dammit. That was his goal all along wasn't it?

"My name is Kura, and all I have to say is stay away from me."
I turned my head towards the window.

He whistled and leaned back in his seat.
"My, my, quite a sour one we got here."

I ignored his comment, and watched the rain pour from the sky.

He said nothing more to me for the rest of the bus ride to Hokkaido,
and for that- I was grateful.

~Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

We arrived late to the camp, somewhere around 9:00p.m.

The classes piled off the the bus, sore, and cramped from sitting.

Class 1-B's Sensei yelled at his students to unload quickly.

Ours did the same.
"Everyone hurry and unload their gear, then form a group here!"

The students up front handed people in the back their bags.

I saw someone pick up my bag and I reached out my hand for it.
It suddenly flew to the wet floor.

"Oops."

I looked up.
Even though it was dark, I could feel disgust.

Midori, who had suprisingly left me alone lately was rearing her ugly head.

"My, My, that was quite a nasty thing to do ther'...", someone picked up my bag.

I looked up.

"Well, it's only a lil' damp, it'll dry", he patted it and handed it to me.

...whats wrong with this guy...

"An' you!", he crossed his arms and turned to Midori.

"That's quite rude. Where I'm from that'll get you beat up."

"Tsk", she gave him a dirty look and walked off.

"Tha' nerve!", he shook his head.

Someone's hand touched my shoulder.
I moved away and looked back.

"Kura? Is that you?"

"Yeah..."

"Well we need to join the group over by Sensei. She's gonna divide us up for the cabins."

I nodded and followed.

I glanced back over my shoulder at the strange guy, but he just smiled, waved, and headed towards his class.

Sensei's voice was loud.

"The cabins have two main area's."

The girl's will be housed In the Second side cabin area, The boy's in the first.

A list is posted on each cabin door with the names of the occupants on it.
Find the cabin with your name on the list.

In 15 minutes meet in the middle of camp around the fire for Lunch."

She waved us on towards the cabins, and the girls headed towards the right, and boy's towards the left.

I found the cabin with my name on it.

My eye's scrolled down to the three other names on the list.

Amy Tran
Hina Obari
Lilian Huang

I didn't know who Lilian was, but Amy- would be in the same cabin as me?

Not to mention with Hina, one of the Obari twins.

God was not making it easy for me, was he?

As I started to unpack my things, Hina wandered in.

A dark Aura seemed to surround her. Without a word, she stumbled over to one of the bunks.

She threw her bag on the bed, and stared at it, as if it was supposed to unpack itself.

After a moment or two, she seemed to take notice of me.
"Disgusting...", she mumbled.

"Not only are me and Hima in seperate cabins, but i'm stuck with you..."
I gave her a dirty look.

She said nothing more, and walked out of the cabin.

Thankfully, Hina was the more verbal twin.

Seconds later, Amy walked in.
Without a word, she threw her bag on the bunk above Hina's, and left.

I should probaly leave too.
I zipped up my bag and left.

~ Hokkadio's staryy nights.~

The huge campfire lighted up the night.

People were talking, eating and enjoying themselves.

So these people could be like this too, huh?

Someone quitely sat next to me.

"Isn't this nice?", I sighed.

She nodded, then finished off her smore.

"I'm glad you came, I thought you really weren't gonna come..."

"I didn't think I was either..."
She got up and walked away from the campfire.

What was she doing?
I followed her through some tree's and into a opening.

A large lake.
The Moon and the stars reflected in the water.
Fireflies danced around like a light show.

I started to take it in.
Kura kneeled down by the water.

She clapped her hands, and turned towards me.
When she opened her hands, A firefly flew out towards the sky.

She looked towards me for a response, and the moon shone against her.

"Beautiful...", I mumbled.

She nodded and turned back towards the lake.

If only she knew I was talking about her.

Midori

As much as I wanted to,
I couldn't move.

I didn't run up and push her into the lake,
as bad as I wanted to.

But it hurt to watch them together.

Kiro

"Ahh...isn't that cute?"

She spun around.

"You...!"
"When did u get there!"

"You know, I didn't think you were this much of a stalker...", I shrugged.

"Shhh! Keep your voice down!", she pulled my arm.

"What? You dun' wan't them to hear?", I smirked.

"Shut up asshole. You very well know I don't," she glared.

She released my arm.
"Since your new around here... I'll explain to you how it works"

"Kura, Is Trash- you hear?
She'll ruin your life. Stay away from her, or things will become real unhappy for you."

Ahh I see how it was.
"Funny, she told me to stay away from her too", I laughed.

"But now I can see..."

Midori

Who did he think he was?

I blinked and his body appeared right infront of me.

He raised back his arm, and I flinched.
If he think's he can hit me and get away with it he's-

...
...?

I opened my eyes.

His hand glided gently through my hair.

He smiled and walked off.

My body stood frozen in place.
His smile...

Saku:
"...What is the secret behind Kiro's smile?" (Please try again.)

"...Will Kura ever become nice?" (Signs point to no.)

...Will Midori ever stop being a bitch? (Chances unlikely.)

"..."

"...Can I have a cookie?" (No.)

"GAWD! STUPID MAGIC 8 BALL" -Flings at wall-

... xD sorry guys. I just had to do that.

Thanks. Look forward to the next chapter. Cookies for ALL!
