Chapter 1

"Cherry blossoms fall as the gentle breeze blows.

The grass is green from the dew that has fallen.

The sky is blue, and the white clouds move slowly.

Until now, a wonderful site to admire

Ablaze with cinder bright fires

The sun then loses the battle against the smoke sallow.

With each drip, the grass turns red.

The cherry blossoms are still falling gently and slowly.

The sunlight glistens around your rosy face.

Every limb - how beautifully crafted!

Arouse flames with your body.

Far from the common rest, I've grown up on the branches.

Lower handle removed; your splendor, dreams promised

True Heart honors you even if you fall to earthly spheres.

Only worthy is merged with you - now merged with your love."

It was the beginning of spring and the fresher students attend their their first day in Marybell Girls High School which are only attended by girls. The Students of first years along with their parents, friends celebrate the first day of high school by taking pictures.

All girls dressed neatly and checked by the disciplinary committee as they pass out the leaflet for the orientation.

As the girls check the notice on which class they're in. Someone took their attention as a girl with long tresses of hair touching her knees. Girls admired her beauty and her silky black hair as she walked around the campus. She was Kagura Hime, the daughter of CEO of Kagura Inc, one of the treasurers of the school.

As she passed down the girls who admired suddenly was cut off by another girl. . Unlike Hime, she look totally opposite when compared with both of them.She was Fujiwara Anya, a half Japanese born with a foreign father. She had four piercing in her right ear . Her hair was colored in brownish color with silver highlights in her hair and kept a untied bow in her color. She wore her skirt short though girls looked at her as she was somehow like a foreigner but kept murmuring as she debuted her high school in a gyaru look.

As girls and parents were murmuring her appearance, Hime was mesmerized by the beauty of Anya and loved her dyed white hair and felt chills as she watched her.

Later the orientation took place as Home was selected to present the gathering as she was the top class in the entrance exam. As the orientation completed in order, the girls went to check the campus before their classes start the coming day.As girls were led by the school guide, girls came to talk with Hime who was distracted in finding the gyaru but couldn't find her.

Later in the evening, Hime walked back to her apartment where her father had bought just five blocks away from school.As she walked thinking of that girl, she saw Anya who was standing next to the gutter.

"Shit.. First day and this happened... Geez." said Anya as she cursed herself

Hime hid near the pole and peeping on her where Anya suddenly caught her peeping

"Hey are you a stalker, why are you looking at me like that"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to look you like that" Hime said as she came out.

"Well…C'mon, what are you waiting for."

"...."

Hime was puzzled as what she was telling, then Anya gave her hand to pull as her leg was stuck in the gutter.

"Give me your hand"

"Oh Yes, I'm sorry, let me help" said Hime as she gave her hand and pulled Anya from the gutter.

"Thanks"

"Umm.. It's okay, I hear you but the sight of you gloriously plunging your foot into the gutter is just so eye-catching."

"Huh..."

"Apologies!.."

"I-I didn't do it because I wanted to! Aaah geez, this is the worst! I have a part-time after this and no way I'm going there while stinking of the ditch… and I've got dirt splattered over my uniform and arms, too…"

"Part-time?"

"Yes, I am training to be a Beautician and working part time in my aunt's salon…It starts at 5."

"You still have about one hour and a half there. How about heading home first?"

"Huh? It takes me an hour to get home by train each way, alright? I'm not gonna make it!"

"I see, that's certainly unreasonable. Let's see… wanna come to my place? It's the apartment right over there. I can lend you a shower, at least."

"Eh…?"

"What do you say?"

"…I'll borrow your shower. Thanks."

This was the first time Kagura Hime had ever exchanged words with a new person.On her way home from school as she was homeschool before, meeting someone for the first time was like goosebumps to her.

However, it was for this reason that Hime had got surprised at herself suddenly getting talked to; nor could she believe that Anya had readily accepted her proposal.

However, there is a word called 'coincidence' in this world. That was why Hime thought, That must be what is happening now.

Thinking that it would be harsh for her to go to her part-time job in a dirty uniform, Hime lent her her clothes. However, there was a difference in height and in physique of both of them as Anya was one foot taller than her, so of course, the size didn't fit, and it was very thight when Anya put them on. But later she found out a loose t-shirt she wore

"That felt great... Thanks.. Um..?"

"Hime!Kagura Hime.."

"Oh yes, Hime- Chan"

"Hime-Chan?"

"Anyway, Thanks Hime-Chan, you're a life saver"

"Glad to hear that. Hear, I'll give you a paper bag, too."

"Hmm? Paper bag?"

"The paper bag is pretty big so you can put your uniform there. If you get an express dry cleaning on the way to your part-time, you can pick it up when you head back."

"What great hospitality." she said smiling, "My name is Fujiwara Anya, Call me Anya"

"Anya-San"

"An..nevermind just call me anything you like"

Hime was feeling akward having a gursi for the first time in her house. She tries to find some words but difficlt to bring it up. For some reason, the beautiful gyaru in front of her looked unamused and didn't try to get moving.

"Aren't you kinda cold? Ah, I get it! You must be thinking what to do if your parents see this situation now, don't you? I mean, I guess you'd be asked what you were doing bringing a girl in. I didn't see them, but could they be out at work or shopping, and like they're gonna be home soon?"

Perhaps trying to fool around and tease him, Hime seemed to think that she'd hit the sore spot of a high school student with her comments about parents… though, that didn't work against Hime at all. After all, her parents were overseas for work reasons.

"So you live alone?"

"I live alone ."

Anya then took a look around her house and checked her library of books while Home prepared some snacks and tea.

Hime then brings the tea and both sit at the table as they have their snacks

"My Hime, living alone in this house is bravery. You not only have a house alone but also keep the house spot and clean"

"Thank You, it would be my maid who comes once a day to tidy the house"

"Oh yeah, the treasurer's daughter, rich people"

"Where do you stay, Anya-San"Hime questioned her

" I am from Hokkaido but I now stay in my Aunt's, I want to become a Beautician but Aunt forces me to study, That I don't like"

" Oh that's a nice dream"

"Yes, speaking of dreams, you truly are a princess with a long hair"Anya smiles looking at it. She then stands and checks on the phone, "Oh Crap, I'm late for work".

She soon packs her stuff and thanks Home for her hospitality and rushes off to the main side of the block as Hime looks on.

Soon, the days for the classes started and Hime was admired by the girls who were amazed by her skills in Studies, sports and maintained a disciplinary manner which girls started taking her as her role model.

Before the start of Recess, Anya came to her classroom and suddenly went to talk to Hime to which everyone comes to know and started murmuring. She stands next to her desk and then hands over the bag

"Here's the clothes I borrowed when I got to your home and took a shower yesterday. Also my part-time was a success as I reach on time, and I'm giving you some coupon too, you can come to my Parlour and I can set up an appointment!" Anya said loudly and brazenly, and placed her clothes and what appeared to be thank-you confections on Hime's desk.

Setting aside the fact that she had meant to give the clothes, the surroundings were even more shocked at Anya's words and actions than Hime, the concerned party.

The relationship with the model student and a gyaru shook everyone in the school. Though Anya could not figure what's going on. Girls started murmuring things about both of them.

The instantly sparked rumors adidn't stay in the classroom, but quickly spread throughout the school. The model student Hime couldn't even get the opportunity to make an explanation but consoled thinking that Anya forced Hime to take to her house and make it her playhouse but Hime just wanted to be friends with Anya. She would try to have lunch with her or go to the washroom with Anya

but they would be watched wherever she went, and whispers could endlessly be heard.

Getting frustrated, She ran home as soon as possible as Anya who saw her in the corridoor looked at her confused.

It was only after school ended, and Hime rushed home to her apartment and locked the front door that he was finally able to catch a breath.

While frowning at the surging exhaustion, Hime first went to check on the clothes which Anya gave and put into the closet to put them away when a small cherry-blossom colored memo fluttered down from the gap in the clothes. As she read.

"Thank you Hime-Chan, thanks for the hospitality. I thought that my first year would be a disaster. You remind of my past life as I were a nerd"

As Hime sees a photograph of Anya in black hair with two plaits, she started giggling as the current Anya looks way to different than her past self. As she reads

"But as I met you, I didn't just see you as a princess but a goddess with long hair and would love to style your hair as to showcase my skills. I felt warm in my heart and wish to be with you as your friend. Here's attaching my contact info! I'm especially giving it to you!. Please take care of me, love Anya"

Hime was on flowers as she read the memo and felt warm as she thought of Anya from day one and felt a spark, she smiles and hugs the letter.

The next day was something which Turn out to be shocking as Hime called Anya to the school terrace. As Hime came as told she looked everywhere as no one there.

"Hey Hime, why are we here?" questioned Anya

Hime was nervous but she felt confidence as she took a deep breath and spoke..

"...Fujiyama Anya... there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it Hime.?" asked Anya

Hime stood in front of Anya, grasping the collar of her uniform, and looked at my eyes and gave a kiss to the lips.

"Fujiwara Anya... I like you."
