Prologue:

She walked down the hill and waited for her twin brother to reach for her. She glanced at her watch for the nth time, though still early. She didn’t suspect him to come late either. What was taking him so long? She tapped her feet and a soft breeze blew by, making the cherry blossom trees by the streets swaying wonderfully. Its petals fell down on the quiet streets of the town. It looked as if it came out from a nice movie. She smiled seeing the petals as it had the same name she does.

Down by the corner, a boy in his early 17 years old was running towards her way. She raised an eyebrow and found something following behind him. It looked as if he was chased by a cat. The cat looked angry and was ready to bit him at any moment. He ran as fast as he could, saving his life from the cat that followed him endlessly.

“Jun, you’re—” his twin sister was about to scold him when he grabbed her along the way.

“Why are we running?” asked the sister, being dragged by him.

“Shut up and I’ll explain once we arrive at school!”

A guy wearing a blue colored uniform was walking down the streets when suddenly; he was dragged down in to the dark alley to the right side of the building. He didn’t budge until he was released, particularly harsh. A number of people gathered around him with different weapons in each one of them. They didn’t look happy to see him.

The leader, who he assumed with afro dark hair came out from the dark side and smiled maniacally, “attack!”

The command made the others started to attack him from every direction. He had nowhere to escape as he was circled in the middle. The guy with blue uniform just smirked and released his bag that he held over his shoulder. Initially, he punched with his left fist on to a guy with a baseball bat and knocked him out immediately. Next, he gave a round of kicks on each of their heads with the support of the guy he punched earlier.

He smiled satisfactory once he had beaten almost everyone. Half of them were knocked out cold, lying unconsciously while the others cowardly escaped, leaving the guy, standing there alone. The guy picked up his bag, brushed off the dirt from his shirt, spitting the aching corner of his mouth.

A group of girls were lining up by the streets, squealing like madness. They had gifts or flowers on their hands. It seemed like they were waiting for someone’s arrival. The girls were obviously blocking the other students’ entry. Soon to be told, a limo made way through the crowd. The girls squealed more and more seeing the limo.

 Inside the limo, a guy sat there calmly. He waved at his fan girls from the tinted black window. He had on his orange colored uniform. He smiled wonderfully as he got out from the limo with the help of his driver who had quickly struggled its way through the crowd. More girls crowded around him, throwing presents and gifts. He received them happily and thanked them. The fan girls squealed with awe.

“Jaa”, he saluted, making the girls fainted.

“Yo!” the guy greeted to the dark blue haired guy who he noticed him entering through the large double gates. He patted lightly at the guy’s back in a cheerful manner.

“Hn”, was the dark blue haired guy’s response. He didn’t look annoyed but somewhat discontent.

“You shouldn’t be ignoring me!” the guy was pissed off. It seemed like he didn’t like being ignored.

Both of the guys continued walking until they reached in front of another massive gate. Over the gate was a huge building in a hexagon shape with its walls painted in cream. It doesn’t look like any ordinary school plus the students attending the school was wearing variety colors of uniform.

“Well, it’s that time of the year, eh?” said the guy, grinning like an idiot. He had placed his arm over the dark blue hair guy’s shoulder.

The dark haired blue guy simply nodded, releasing his arm as he entered first before him.

“Hey, wait!” yelled the guy, catching up with his fellow friend.

The alarm clock on the desk tried desperately to wake the sleepy head lying on the bed. It rang loudly and noisily near the person’s ear. The person pulled out the alarm clock from the desk and snuggled it inside her blanket completely switching of the ringing. After five minutes, another alarm broke up with its desperate attempt on waking her up. Just like earlier, she pulled it in to her blanket and dozed away.

Another five minutes later, another alarm beeped loudly. She tried to get a hold of the alarm but felt it was not on her desk beside her bed. She pulled her blanket away and scanned the room with her sleepy eyes to hear where the sound was coming from. She groaned as she found her alarm on her wardrobe.

“Fine, I’m wide awake!” she stood groggily from her bed, cursing all the three alarms.

She had woken up extra early for this upcoming event though nervous all of a sudden, realizing what would happen today. She fidgeted with her fingers as more people passed by. Another announcement was made and that made her stood up, walking rigidly near the platform. She pulled her suitcase with much force. Thinking absentmindedly, she should have packed some of the leftovers.

Shaking the idea aside, the train stopped in front of her. Quickly, she jumped on to the train before more people entered. It would her last time to see that side of the world, she thought again. It actually surprised her to receive such invitation from the most prestigious school of the country. She didn’t even register for such school let alone her family. But her family supported her otherwise. She was about to reject the invitation since she didn’t have that much money to pay for the school funds. A small piece of letter slipped through and it said she had full scholarship to attend the school. Sighing, it seemed she had no other choice but to attend.

“Dokuro-sama”, the butler called.

“Hai!” she replied much to her seriousness. She eyed her father at the corner of her amethyst eyes. She hoped that her father would say something even a word if he must before she went to school.

“Dokuro-sama”, the butler called again.

The girl looked down, excused herself from the large dining table. She picked her schoolbag by the floor and left with a serious face. For once, she hoped to hear a pleasant word from her father. She hungered for his fatherly love. Since her mother died, everything inside the house seemed less ‘cheerful’ as she liked to say.

Taking a last glance at her father, she said in her high tone, “I’ll be leaving for school.”

XOXO

A lady with skinny long legs wearing a blue coat and a middle-length skirt entered the wide room. The man standing in the middle of the room turned and grinned at the lady. He adjusted his black leather coat slightly. The room filled with the scent of citrus fruits. The lady stopped in front of him and bowed politely.

“Did you called me, kyuudaime?” she said. Her voice was shaky but she still managed to speak confidently.

“Yes. Come with me”, said the man.

The lady followed him until he halted in front of the large window. The man smiled at what he was seeing. Students in different kind of colored uniforms were entering the school. He began to speak again without facing the lady.

“This year, more young flowers are here to study. We must do our best to grow them well until once they bloom.”

“I-I do not understand, sir”, the lady had a confused look.

“Soon you will understand it, Minami. Soon. Now, let us meet our new generation.”
