Mysterious Girl Chapter 2 Chapter 2: New students? "Ladies, gentlemen, please take your seats now." A young male teacher around the age of 25 told the class as he walked into the classroom. He stood at a height of 5' 10" with broad shoulders and short black hair. He had pale skin and dark onyx eyes that looked ready to pierce through souls, but fortunately were covered by rectangular framed glasses. He wore a black suit with a white inner shirt and a plain navy tie paired off with black polished shoes. The aura surrounding him felt uptight till the point where it was suffocating to be anywhere near him. "My name's Daisuke and you all will address me as Daisuke-sensei. From today onwards i'll be taking over as class 4A's home room teacher as your previous teacher has left for various reasons you need not know of. I believe most of you here are heirs and heiress to your families' companies or business, so i expect prim and proper behaviour from each and everyone of you. You are not to ask me any questions that isn't related to school, is that clear?" -Crickets cricking- "Now, we have 2 new students that will be joining us. I believe you all are familiar with the surnames Konoe and Asukai?" At the mention of the noble families' surname everyone perked up. "The heiress of Konoe family and the heir of Asukai family will be attending this academy to graduate and experience school #life. As you have heard, the heiress of Konoe has never showed her face in public before and both Konoe and Asukai has never studied in a school before, thus i hope you all will support and welcome them." Daisuke explained briefly. Murmers started but the moment Daisuke cleared his throat, the murmurs stopped abruptly with everyone's attention on him, not an eye blinking. "You may enter now, Konoe-san, Asukai-san." Daisuke informed. Everyone's head turned towards the door with expecting eyes. A few seconds later, a petite girl together with a guy a head taller than her entered the western styled classroom. The girl stood around 163 centimetres with pale white skin and silky long wavy black hair. She had light gray eyes and had an air of elegance radiating from her being. She wore the girl's school uniform which consisted of a white collared button-down blouse and a black vest, like the guy's, worn over it. The black pleated skirt she wore reached her mid-thighs paired with the school's black slip-in shoes and white knee length socks. "My name is Konoe Mizuki, pleased to make an acquaintance with everyone." white roses seemed to appear out of no where behind Mizuki as she smiled sweetly. 'Pretty...' 'She's cute.' 'A whole other world, as expected from the nobles.' The guy standing beside her was 170 centimetres tall with a boyish frame and tan skin. He had spiky silver-black hair, sharp onyx eyes and a lazy aura surrounding him. "Name's Asukai Seiichi." He stated lazily. 'Totally opposite...' Everyone thought "Now then, Konoe, Asukai, please take the available seats at the back. If you would like a front seat please do tell." The young teacher informed them. "It's fine, Daisuke-sensei." Mizuki answered politely. 'Something about her seems familiar... but didn't they say she hasn't showed her face in public before?' Ryuu pondered 'Maybe im just imagining it.' he brushed it off before turning his attention to the girl who now sat at the next desk to his while the guy sat in front of her beside Akihito. "My name's Takamura Akihito and the guy behind me is Ishida Ryuu. If Konoe-san and Asukai-san needs help with anything feel free to ask us." Akihito introduced with a warm smile like the gentleman he was. "Thank you for offering your kind services, i'll be sure to make use of them, Takamura-san, Ishida-san." Mizuki returned Akihito's smile causing him to smile back. -.-|| 'Are they done yet? It's rather... distracting.' Thought Ryuu while Seiichi seemed to have fallen asleep on his desk ignorant of what was happening around him. 3 hours later~ Lunch break came around with Akihito offering to show Mizuki and Seiichi around while Ryuu just tagged along broodingly. Their presence alone drew attention from passerbys. "Hey it's Takamura-sama and Ishida-sama." "Kyaa!!" "So cool." "Hey who's that girl and guy with them?" "I heard that the Konoe heiress and the Asukai heir has come here to graduate." "So the rumours were true??" "Wow, she's so pretty." "The guy's kinda... Opposite. "But quite an eye catcher." "Isn't this the first time the Konoe heiress is showing her face in public?" -gossiping- Noticing the staring passerbys, Mizuki smiled at them. The students had their eyes fixated on her, a blush growing on their cheeks in embarassment and awe. Akihito chuckled good manneredly, Ryuu rolled his eyes and Seiichi... just yawned. "By the way Konoe-san, earlier in class just now you read that english passage really well, even better then Ryuu. As expected of a noble." Akihito complimented Mizuki. "Thank you for your kind compliment Takamura-san. I guess it's because of the many english novels i have at home." The group was about to walk outside when Seiichi stopped. "Mizuki." He called with a hint of warning in his tone.

Me Like attention, Like being cool, Like satisfaction, Like some imperfection, Like making friends, Like being alone at times... Etc; Well, that's me. Like it, hate it, it's still me and I ain't changing.

Mysterious Girl: Chapter 1 Chapter 1: The Piano Recital Summer had passed and autumn was arriving. In Amaterasu Academy, the most prestigious school in Japan where the noble and rich families' heirs and heiresses attended... "Misuteri's new advert is up!!" "Oh my gosh! Really?? Where???" "Hey, I want to see it too!!!" Squeals of excitement were heard as a crowd quickly formed in front of a white pillar where a huge poster of a girl was taped to. A tall, lean guy walked by the uproar of squealing fans, not bothering to glance in their direction. 'Noisy' he thought in annoyance, as he made his way to class with his black bag pack slung over a shoulder. He wore the school's uniform which was a white shirt that was tugged out with a black wool vest over it, the school's golden insignia imprinted on the vest's top left and simple black pants paired with black school shoes. The boy had shaggy ebony hair and stood at a height of 178 centimetres with broad shoulders. His fair skin had a slight tan to it and strong blue eyes stood out among them. "Ryuu!" Responding to his name, the dark haired male turned to face his caller whom he regconized as his friend. "Akihito." he greeted nonchalantly before continuing his way to class. "That's all you have to say to your dear childhood friend after all the weeks we haven't met ?" Akihito sighed in mock disappointment as he came up beside Ryuu. Akihito reaches 175 centimetres with slightly broad shoulders and fair skin. Long brown hair cascades freely down his back and emerald orbs peeps out from between shaggy bangs. "Morning Akihito-sempai, Ryuu-sempai." came greetings as both males passed by students. Akihito's reply was a bright smile while Ryuu's was grunts. Both were known throughout the school for their top scores and unbelievably good looks, added with the fact that Akihito was the heir to the Takamura traditional tea ceremonial school that was recognised as Japan's best. As soon as the two friends got to class, classes started and since it was their graduation year, it meant endless hours of studying and hearing teacher's lectures. After what seemed to be an eternity, lunch break came and everyone sighed in relief as if a piece of heaven had been shown to them. Ryuu got up from his seat and slipped out of the classroom, heading towards the school's garden for a breather. Lying down within the cool shade of a cherry blossom tree, he hooked his hands together behind his head acting as a cushion. Lazy sapphire eyes looked up at the sky, watching clouds pass as the wind blows cherry petals across their view from swaying branches, eventually landing on the earth where they would wither. Suddenly, 2 red and gold coloured pieces of rectangular paper appeared in front of Ryuu's face, Akihito's grinning face joining them seconds later. "Two tickets to Misuteri's recital tonight. What do you think?" Akihito asked. "Hn." Ryuu grunted. "Oh well... I thought you would like it cause it would be a piano recital." the emerald eyed boy stated as he too lied down in the shades of the cherry tree. Ryuu stiffened at the mention of his favourite classical instrument. Hours later... The outline of the setting sun blurred as the bright yellow blended with the flaming red, indicating the start of evening. 'Why did i agree to come again?' Ryuu twitched as he sat in his seat beside Akihito who was chatting animatedly about this Misuteri they were about to see. They were seated in the centre row and had a clear view of the whole stage. The theatre's lights dimmed as the stage lights brightened. A girl with skin as fair as snow appeared on stage. The top half of her face was covered by a white mask, leaving her glossy pale pink lips the only thing viewable. Long blonde hair was tied up in a high pony tail with a silky white ribbon. She wore a silk, double spaghetti strapped black dress that reached a few inches above her knees with a single white rose sewed onto the top centre of it and a white ribbon going round her waist ending at the back in a neatly tied ribbon. Walking with natural grace towards an ebony grand piano placed in the centre of the stage, her long blonde hair flowed gently behind her giving off the air of mystery. Once she reached the piano, she bowed towards the audience before taking her seat. Her hands moved across the keys with practiced grace while her fingers hit every note with trained accuracy. The aura around her turned light and the gentle melodic tune of the piano filled the air. At that moment, time seemed to revolve around her and the melody she played, the audience so entranced by her that not even the sound of breathing was heard. 'She's good.' Ryuu thought. Having played the piano for a few years now, he knew that no beginner could play this well. After a few hours, the recital came to an end and everyone left the theatre satisfied. "So, what do you think?" Akihito questioned curiously. Not hearing any response from his childhood friend he turned to face him. Surprise filled emerald eyes as they took in the look on the onyx haired male's face. "Ryuu??" Akihito probed. "She's interesting." Ryuu responded. Akihito stared at his friend in shock. Was his ears playing tricks on him? This was the first time in quite a long while that Ryuu had said something was interesting. A small smile formed on his face. "Well then! Let's go have dinner now!" Akihito exclaimed slinging an arm over his taller companion's neck and dragging him along down the street. "Stop dragging me!"

Mysterious Girl (Prologue) The sky was at it's darkest, a full#moonhidden within dark clouds. It's light glowing faintly through the thickness of the clouds with no way to rid itself of the obstacles blocking it. Specks of silver decorated the blanket of navy blue, shining brightly through the clouds 'together', blind to the hidden#moonthat seemed like it was trying... trying to reach... "Your brother awaits your arrival in the living room." a voice informed. A paint brush stopped midway to a canvas, instead falling to dark red carpeted ground as light quick footfalls went down long winding corridors of a dark mansion. A small girl around the age of 4, appeared at the doorway of a room. "You called, brother?" her young voice was filled with respect as she spoke to the older boy who sat comfortably in a black armchair in front of her. The boy smiled with hints of malice. "Come here, 'my sister'." his emphasis on the last two words was heard clearly by her. His hand reached out to her who stood in the doorway but she seemed to hesitate. Seeing this, the boy frowned. "Do you not trust me, sister?" he questioned her. Her face expressed shock at his question and she immediately walked towards him, any signs of hesitation gone. (every step she took towards him that day...) placing her small hand on his. "I trust you, brother" she smiled at him with pure innocence. (was every bit of her trust placed in him) He stared at her smile with mixed emotions of surprise and disgust. Her innocent smile brightened the darkness that surrounded him. He disliked it. He detested it. He wanted it to disappear... Disappear from the face of this earth. The tides have changed and now he stands in control of everything. Chains wrapped around her, bounding her to him (choices...) she was to trust and obey him. (do they exist?) nothing more, nothing less. From that moment, the little girl's fate was locked by thick chains of a single bond.
