Chapter 1

"Hoaahhmm.." Yui yawned in the morning, as she woke up.

Before starting off her day in college, she had cleaned and tidied up herself.

This morning she felt really hungry, so she packed herself some bento.

She was slightly too early for any classes, so she sat at the canteen and took out one of her onigiri.

"Hey, look. The fish girl is eating her bento alone in the morning. What a glutton." a girl said.

"Yeah. She seems really thin, but she eats a lot, I guess." another female replied.

"Hey, what are you girls murmuring about?" a guy joined in suddenly.

"Nothing. Guys like you should know nothing." one of the girls replied him.

"Wow. Such a beauty. Who's that chick?" the boy asked.

"Don't mind her. She's out of your league."

"What? No way. I'm handsome, though." the boy said confidently.

He decided to take a chance anyway. So, the two girls left him alone.

"Hey, beautiful. What's your name?"

"...I.. err.."

"Oh, come on. Don't be so shy. You're looking so cute." the boy winked his eye to Yui.

"I.. ermm. My name is Yui."

"Oh my. What a beautiful name. Yui-chan, do you have a boyfriend?" he asked straight forwardly.

".... I don't.."

"Really?? Are you serious? But, you're such a cutie!" he kept flattering her.

"Stop it.."

"Eh?"

"Please stop saying nice words to me.. I don't hate it.. but.. I just don't feel comfortable."

"Oh.. Hahaha. I see. I'm sorry, my name is Takao. Nice to meet you, Yui-chan."

"Takao.. you mean Takao Inoyama?" Yui asked.

"Eh? How did you know my name?"

"I...ermm.. well, you're quite popular in this campus."

"Re--really? I didn't know that. Haha.."

"I mean, the new female students like you.. kind of." Yui replied.

"I see. What about you, Yui-chan?"

"Eh..?"

"Do you think we should know each other more? How about a date?" Takao asked.

Yui's eyesight was suddenly blank. Then, she immediately recovered and said softly; "No way.. I don't deserve this.."

"Hm?"

"I don't deserve to have a date.. I mean---"

"What do you mean?" Takao interrupted.

"I.. I ermm.." Yui was suddenly trembling.

"If you are not attracted to me, just say it. I won't bother you anymore." Takao said, losing his interest so soon.

"I.. errmm.. Takao-kun.."

Unfortunately, that guy just left.

"Ha.. I knew it. I would not be able to make it."

Before Yui started to feel any worse, she suddenly heard some loud screaming voices.

KYAAAAAA

"I cannot believe this!!" a girl said, as she was running quickly.

"Kyaaa! Isn't that Akio Saotome? How did he decide to choose this campus?"

"Oh my God, I'm so lucky to choose this campus from the beginning~~!"

Akio? That's right. This campus is quite elite and famous. But, Akio.. Yui thought.

Yui couldn't get what she had just heard from some group of females.

"He's joining our campus! KYAAA! I'm so excited!" a girl said.

As the girls began to sound so loud, Yui tried hard to see for herself through the crowds.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Akio Saotome. I'm just the same age and ordinary person as you all." he spoke with a gentle smile.

None of the girls listened well, they were all busy admiring Akio's drunkening complexion.

What's going on? Am I dreaming? Yui was completely speechless, as the guy suddenly stepped towards her.

"Yui-chan."

"Eh?"

"Yui-chan.. right?"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to this scene.

"A--Akio-kun.." Yui's face was so red, as a tomato.

"Finally. I've been looking for you, the pink haired dumb looking girl." he sneered.

"Eh--"

"Let's go. Guide me around." he suddenly held Yui's hand and walked away from the crowds.

"A--Akio-kun.. what's.."

"I know you from other people. It seems you're famous. So, tell me. Can you see my future?" Akio spoke so suddenly.

"Akio-kun.. You.. You really are..."

"Yes, I am. Are you ok? You don't look fine." he asked, as he touched Yui's arms with both of his strong looking hands.

"Kyaaa!" Yui squealed.

"?? -- Oi.. what's wrong?" Akio was surprised.

"You--you can't be... Akio.. You can't be.." she spoke in disbelief and pleasure.

"Hm? What does that mean? Of course I'm Akio. What's wrong with you?" he asked calmly and unaffectedly.

"Kyaaaaa! Oh my God.. This is unbelievable.." she gasped, as she hid her face in both of her palms.

Akio sighed and said; "I don't know. I just heard about you today, and I immediately decided to move to this campus. Who knows you might be the one I've been looking for so far?"

"The one you have been looking for..?"

"I can't tell you yet. But, if you agree to help me, I will tell you everything. Do you want to do that with me?" he asked.

"W--What..?" Yui seemed puzzled and she blushed.

"Don't think of anything dirty. I just need your help. That's the reason I came to this place." he explained.

"Ok.. I will help you. I want to help you, Akio-kun.."

"Eh?" Akio was quite startled.

"I want.. I want to help.. If it's you, I will do anything for you." Yui spoke with a sweet smile.

Akio blushed a little suddenly, so he turned his face away.

"I understand. So, it's decided. I'll tell you later. Escort me around first, I will also join the same class as you." he started his controls towards Yui.

"Ok.. but.."

"But what?"

"Have you decided which field of study and payed for the school entrance fee?" Yui asked artlessly.

"Hmm.."

Yui seemed waiting for his answer.

"Yeah, my manager is paying off all the fees now. So, just do your part!"

"What-- what's my part?" Yui was totally confused.

"To be my fortune teller. From now on, you will have to be with me all the time."

Those words suddenly put a deep spell on Yui. She couldn't help it and giggled.

"What's funny?" Akio asked.

"Nothing. I'm just happy. I'm so happy to finally meet you, Akio-kun. I've never thought this would actually happen in my life.. I'm so grateful.." she sobbed.

"Oi, don't cry. What the hell is wrong with you? I know that you'd be so happy and feel like this is just like a dream, but still--"

"No, it's not like that. I.. I was so.." she interrupted.

"Never mind. Let's go." he suddenly held Yui's shoulders and pushed her to walk.

"Where do you want to go, Akio-kun?" Yui asked.

"You fool. How would I know? I'm new here starting from now." he mocked her.

"Ah.. you're right. Sorry." Yui apologised sincerely.

"No--no need to say sorry." Akio said, looking a bit bumbled.

"Ok. Let's go, Akio-kun." Yui said cheerfully.

Meanwhile, all the other girls who successfully followed Akio, glared at Yui in an unexplainable hatred and jealousy.
