A New Start (open)

[okihno]

Every "hello" is a beginning of a single "goodbye".

As we conquer life here on earth, we can't avoid people who are passing through it. Some can give you laughter, some can give you pain but, most of all, everyone will give you the experience. The experience you need through life. xXOkih-chanXx

Here inside the academy, there are lots of memories which okihno treasures so much. Memories that brought her the true meaning of life. Friendship, rules, decisions, and even love. Things that make her realize that; It's now time to move on....

Okihno is wearing her uniform when she decided to have a walk at the garden of the academy. As she passed a number of establishments, she remembers things which happened. Like the Administration office, the place where she first know a lot of things about the academy, the passing of application, and even meeting one of the most important person in her life. She can't help it but to laugh at those memories. She saw a bench near a big tree and a drinking fountain. She was seated there and took a look at the leaves as the fall the big tree behind the bench. Okihno grabbed a cute cuddly teddy bear out of her bag. It is a bear which was given to her by her first friend in the academy ;Shaira. Again a feedback happened into her mind. But, it was a minute after when okihno turned quiet. She bowed her head and seems like thinking very deeply. Until she said with a very soft voice:

" That's too much. I need a new start."

Okihno grabbed her scissors inside her bag and start cutting her long brown wavy hair until it measures up to her shoulders. After she was finished, she hides the scissors and look her face at the mirror.

"A fresh new me! A change!"

Okihno is already turning a lady after her birthday so she decided to face the change in her life with the comfort of her boyfriend John Cliff Rioza. Even saying goodbye to her first love.

Okihno is just sitting on the bench playing with her teddy bear and willing to talk with someone.

[Jason Psychosis]

Jason was, once again, taking a walk in the Freedom Space. He seems to be attracted to places with tragedy. This time, though, he vowed not to have anything happen in here.

He was wrong. Just as he finished making his vow, he noticed a young girl sitting on a bench, cutting off her hair. This didn't surprise him much, since he too had done that before. He decided to try to talk to her. Walking up to the bench, he introduced himself.

"Hi. My name's Jason."

[michi]

The lavender-haired girl was in the freedom space again. She can't stop exploring the place. It was so peaceful and refreshing. The birds' chirping and the other students' laughter was all the girl heard. It relaxed her mind that she started to hum.

Mi-chi was wearing dark blue loose long-sleeved shirt and white short skirt. To cover her feet, she was wearing light blue sandals. She kept on walking unlit she reached a large cherry blossom tree planted beside a bench. She stepped on the bench to reach a branch. She held on the branch and pulled herself up. She sat down and leaned on the bark of the tree.

She saw a girl with a teddy bear which could possible be looking for some company. A boy approached her, introducing himself. Encouraged, she decided to introduce herself, too. She looked down, smiling at them. Her hair flowed down upon her movement.

"Hi! Hi! Me, Mi-chi~! Nice to meet you~!" She said in a sing-song tune.

[okihno]

Came from nowhere, Okihno saw a guy coming closer to her and suddenly starts to introduce his self. Jason Psychosis is the name. Upon hearing it, Okihno remembered a name which has a connection with him. The name sounds like a shining crescent moon above. Untill she remembered her friends name. Luna Katanashi. She entertained the guy's introduction and said;

"Nice too meet you also, my name is Okihno Natodashi Natzuya."

While giving the guy a very warm smile, she recognized that her name is too long for him to mention and remembered an incident when someone called her NONO-chan.. So, Okihno prefers to say:

"you can call me Okih or okih-chan for short."

After that, another individual came close to her. This time she is a girl; a lavender haired girl. Okihno first look at the girl's long lavender hair and remembers her hair before she cut it. As expected, the girl introduced herself in a different way. She sung a song containing her name.

Okihno looked at the girl as she introduce herself admitting that she was really entertained even though it is short. As her reply, She also introduce herself by singing;

"Hello! Hello, my name is okih-chan. la, la, la, nice to meet you."

After that, Okihno really sweat a lot because she knows that she is so out of tune. But still, she hopes that the 2 individual may comfort her on that situation.

[michi]

"Hello! Hello, my name is okih-chan. la, la, la, nice to meet you."

The girl answered Mi-chi with a short song. She was rather out of tune but the lavender-haired girl felt it coming from the heart. At least, she tried her best which is somewhat amusing.

"Wow...! You're great Okih-chan~!" she told her and clapped her hands. 'Songs without life can never be good. It's soul comes from the heart. ' She always believed in that.

"I could feel the warm fuzziness coming from here" Mi-chi said and pointed Okih-chan's heart. "Isn't that right, Jason-kun?" She turned to the boy and smiled. A while ago, she overheard his name.

[Jason Psychosis]

"I could feel the warm fuzziness coming from here. Isn't that right, Jason-kun?"

Jason-kun?

He nodded while pondering. He didn't really know, but he thought that was the right answer.

[okihno]

After that freaking song that Okihno made, she saw the satisfaction at Michi's eyes. Maybe, she appreciate the effort that Okihno made upon introducing her self. A moment later, She heard Michi calling the other guy; Jason-Kun. As what she observed\, she can tell that they already know each other. Also, as Okihno see the situation, she mind asking the two;

"Here, have a seat."

Then she moved to the right corner of the bench leaving a very big space. She also grabs some chocolate bears in her bag .

"Here, these chocolates are pure one and it is delicious! Have one."

[Jason Psychosis]

"Here, have a seat. Here, these chocolates are pure one and it is delicious! Have one."

Such a kind girl. I sit next to her and take one of the chocolates. Taking a small bite, I nod, meaning that I agree with her description of them. After eating the chocolate, I give Okihno a big smile and a small hug of thanks.

"Thanks." I say as I release myself from her. "I needed something like that." It's suprising how such a small thing like that has the biggest effect on people.

[okihno]

After Jason tasted one of Okihno's favorite chocolates, He suddenly hugged her. Upon his reaction, Okihno can tell that he loved the taste of it so as her response, she hugs back. While giving his warm smile, Jason thanked her. Okihno smiled at her saying:

"This is at least I can do to a friend for now."

Then, she placed her bag between Jason and her opening widely so Jason can grab some chocolates from it while having their conversation.

" If you want chocolates, don't be shy to grab one."

Okihno gave him a very warm smile coming from her heart knowing that this guy is a kind one.

"So, what it brought you here?"

Okihno asked Jason while looking at the clear blue sky and waiting for him to response.

[Jason Psychosis]

" If you want chocolates, don't be shy to grab one."

Jason saw that Okihno placed her bag in between the two of them. Though he did like the chocolate, he wouldn't take them out of her bag. It just isn't right to reach into a girl's bag. Not even if she said it was okay.

"So, what it brought you here?"

"Well, I was taking a walk in here." he replied. "I was trying to clear my head. A lot of things have been happening in my life right now."

Getting off the subject, Jason reached into Okihno's bag, pulled out one of the chocolates, and stuffed it in his mouth. Smiling, he looked at Michi. Swalloaing the chocolate, he said "What about you, Michi? Why are you out here?"

[michi]

The other girl generously offered a seat for them to sat on. In return, Mi-chi gave off a gentle smile as she occupied the seat. Then, Okih-chan shared her mouth-watering treats, chocolates.

"Thankies~! I can eat some of these? Yush~!" she rubbed her hands together as she eyed the dark brown sweets. She began eating some with amusement in her eyes. She didn't bother listening their conversation.

"What about you, Michi? Why are you out here?"

Her little hallucination ended shortly upon hearing Jason's question. It was rather odd, but she doesn't know what to answer. The reason why she was there in the first place was unknown.

"I don't know... I simply like it here" she told them and smiled. ^^

[okihno]

As the conversation goes on, Okihno heard Jason asking the same question she raised to him on Michi. Uon hearing the girl's replied, Okihno grabbed again a chocolate from her bag and unwrapped it. She took a bite an asked both of them;

"When do you first know each other huh?"
This question lifted up in her mind upon her curiosity. The two seems to know each other well.

She take a look at the sky while waiting for their reply.

[Jason Psychosis]

"When do you first know each other huh?"

Jason thought really hard. He tried to go back to when he first came to the Academy and work his way forward. He didn't remember ever meeting Mi-Chi, besides right now, of course.

"Um....I don't think we ever did meet, until right now." He looked at Mi-Chi. "Did we ever meet before right now?" Maybe she'd know.

[michi]

"When do you first know each other huh?"


Michi tilted her head and leaned it on her right hand with the elbow guided by her left hand in a I'm-thinking manner. She tried to remember when, how and where she ever met Jason-kun but failed.

"Um....I don't think we ever did meet, until right now...Did we ever meet before right now?"

"eehh...? Now really... I can't remember you." She said and ended with a grin. She swung her legs and ate more.

"Why do you ask, okih-chuu...?" she asked back at okihno, pouting her lips in the 'chuu' part.

[okihno]

After both responded on her question, Okihno found out that they haven't met each other before.

"So I see. Sorry for that ehehe"

She said to both of them. Then, Okihno take a glance at Michi and saw her doing a pouting lips. Michi looks so much cuter with it and Okihno can't resist it but;

"you are so cute!!"
She said to the girl and gave her a very tight hug. After that, she released her. Okihno grabbed her teddy bear and place it on her lap. She again remembers her dream of having a little sister.

"you know what? it is always a dream for me to have a little brother or a sister."
She said with a very soft voice.

"oh just ignore that!"
She smiled to both of them and hugged her teddy bear tightly.

[Jason Psychosis]

"So I see. Sorry for that ehehe"

"It's okay," I told her, "Everyone makes mistakes." I then hear her begin to speak once more.

"you are so cute!!"

At first I thought Okih was talking to me, but then I watched in awe as she hugged Mi-chi!

Why is it that two girls hugging is so hot? I ponder this as I watch Okihno and Mi-chi embrace one another. It was only for a few moments, but, to me, it felt like forever. Then I hear Okihno speak again.

"you know what? it is always a dream for me to have a little brother or a sister. oh just ignore that!"

I stay silent. I'm still dazed by the hug I just bore witness to.

[okihno]

After that scenario, Okihno observes Jason as he remains in silence. She thought that something is wrong about what she told to both of them about having a younger sibling. Okihno looked at Jason's eyes and says;

"Is there anything wrong? Did i say something that you didn't like."

She still wonders what is the real reason behind it. Again, Okihno became confused. She really don't like hurting her friends. So she said;

"sorry."
with her head bow and quite shaking voice. She is really scared if there is something that Jason didn't like so she prefers to remain silent and wait for his friend's reply.
