The autumn leaves fell to the floor from outside, carried in by the whispering breeze. As she laced her riding boots she thought of how she had just arrived and already she couldn't seem to relax, it was hard for her other than art she was always wanting to do something. Today that something was riding. Comet her horse didn't mind of course he was happy for the chance.

Leading him outside she climbed onto him she noticed how calm everything was all was almost slow not one outburst of action, she didn't mind this she can be a calm gentle person but the fact that spica was famous for there riding she would have thought there would be people around. At the very least brushing the animals. Shrugging her light worries away she lightly gripped the reins. " yaa !"

Comet took off happy to please the both of them road for a while faster and faster both being daredevils they took a few jumps though Akira was no professional taking such risks could be dangerous but she didn't care, seeing as how they made it she didn't worry. She finally slowed figuring it was time for a rest.

So, she was wandering around St. Spica Girls Academy. Why? She'd gone to lend her friend Eri some notes on their reforesting project and with that done, thought shed take the scenic route back to Lulim. She steered clear of most of the girls in white. Scary, bullies, sporty, strong manly girls that could probably beat her up. She was thinking she should probably just run away. Eri was nice and feminine, but some of these other girls looked really tough. Suddenly though she was distracted by a horse running in a corral. Spica had a corral?

She got closer only to feel her heart skip, a Prince, a beautiful white haired Spican Prince rode a horse fearlessly about. Yukari stopped to watch, impressed by her grace and confidence. When the girl stopped riding, Yukari was still standing on the other side of the fence with stars in her eyes. Was she really seeing something this cool? It was like a dream.

The clumps of dirt crumbled as she got of comet. Petting his neck she let him take a few breaths before she led him to the barn as she did she saw a day dreaming girl, this peeked Akira's attention. Leading Comet to the girl she tied him safely to the wooden pole. It was as if she could walk on water in this girls eye's which only amused Akira more sweeping back some hair she leaned on the fence now next to the girl she pondered ' Shall i wait till she awakes from her fantasy ? ' was her first thought the second was if she should ask if she likes the view but that might be a little much. Yet then she decided hen opening her mouth she spoke softly.

" Hello Sweetheart, might i have your name? "

She looked at the girl her jewel red eyes sparked in interest her first encounter with a Le rim girl, and a cute one at that not to say the others were not cute , but Akira had to give special credit to the first girl she met. There was something about this girl she seemed shy and yet she seemed to have some kind of outgoing personality seeping out wanting to escape. Well at least that was what Akira wanted to think, guess she was a day dreamer as well.

She was in slow motion, the white haired beauty was approaching, every movement, no matter how insignificant was highlighted. The breeze moving her hair, the motion of closing her eyes to blink. Yukari could only watch, breathless. It wasn't until she spoke that the brunette snapped out of her stupor.

"Ah! Anomurninur..." She mumbled, unable to make her mouth work. She was standing really close, leaning like that on the bars of the fence. She could see the curve of the Prince's collar bone as it disappeared under her riding jacket. She blinked, and cleared her throat. "I mean, that is...uh...you're taking to me right? Uh.." She turned red, from the neck up. Under this red gaze she couldn't think straight. "I'm, uh...my name is....um...its uh...."

She was looking at her mouth then, a thin curve of lips in a wonderful curve of a grin. As beautiful as they were, at least one thought was clear. She hoped the beautiful prince wouldn't kiss her, she only wanted one prince to get that privilege, even if it meant missing an opportunity to be kissed by someone like this.

She inwardly laughed at herself, as if anyone just went around kissing strangers for no reason, how silly. "Y-yukari," she said quietly, finally able to look off to one side, heart pounding.

Chuckling into her hand she found she was quite amused with this girl. Lifting herself up and over the fence she stood yet even closer to the now mumbling girl. Noticing a few leaf's trickle down from the trees around them she waited calmly setting her hand on the wooden pole next to the girl. Finally a sentence came out, are you talking to me? Finding yet another chuckle leave her lips Akira noded " That i would. Unless you'd rather me leave that is"

Letting a playful pout arise to her features she finally heard a name. With the same playfulness she spoke " Yukari,is it ? i am pleased to meet you."

Akira was rather shocked by her own politeness it isn't that she was polite, it was just being so formal that made her rather amused at herself. Letting her hand fall from the wood to hold the others small hand she smiled. Such a soft hand for a soft girl. Don't think Akira did not noticed how the girls eyes wandered down her own face finding there stop at Akiras lips. " You know all you need to do was ask"

Giving a light smirk she leaned it towards the others lips yet pausing only inches away, Whispering out one last thing. " though we have just met silly.."

After that she let her lips fall on the girl's cheeks you could almost think it was the corner of the lips but that even might be pushing some boundaries so to be safe it was just a tad farther away.Next you know Akira pulls away asking a question of which made it seem as if nothing happened. " To be honest i am happy i met you see i am new here and have been needed to ask this of someone, do you like it here?

The act of her shisking herself over the fence like that made Yukari's hear skip a beat, the girl said something about leaving and Yukari gave a doe-eyed shake of the head. Then she touched her hand, it made her tingle all over, but she was too stunned to react. Her mind was buzzing as if she were in a dream Was this really happening?

It was as if the girl read her mind about kissing, What? Wait!! She thought, but was unable to move or speak fast enough. The girl was so close, she could smell her perfume, feel her breath, and then a soft warmth at the corner of her mouth. She froze, her brain on overload. No way. No way!

She locked up, stuck like a statue, she forgot to breathe, completely lost in what had just happened. Somewhere far away the prince was talking, but she couldn't register anything than the loud pounding in her head. Suddenly, she felt tired, the world dimmed and then disappeared.

The Black haired girl slumped to the ground. Apparently, forgetting to breathe did that to a person. Whether or not Akira caught the swooning maiden was yet to be seen. But Yukari was in for quite the surprise when she woke up, learning she hadn't dreamed what had just happened.

Pausing her speech she noticed as the girl fell catching her barely in time. Akira rose the girl away from the ground picking her up bridle style. Noticing comets look she spoke up " don't look at me like that it wasn't my fault .... well...maybe the kiss of the cheek was a little to much. "

Sighing she untied him " come on "

Holding the girl close she led comet to the stables locking him in she went up stairs finding very little but a wood stove and a few old blankets setting one across the floor with her boot she set Yukari down. Sitting with the girls head in her lap she now just waited .


Sorry if it is short I am using my phone and it looks long enough. As far as where they are think back to the anime in the stables.

It was a dreamless silence, and slowly she came too, like one does when waking up in the morning. It was quiet, she was happy. She rolled over to snuggle into her pillow...Her lumpy, warm, lap-like pillow. Wait.

Her eyes snapped open to see that beautiful white haired angel and she immediately recalled their almost kiss. That someone like this, thought she was cute enough to....

Red faced, she squeaked and covered her mouth shooting away only to flop onto the blanket less than a foot from where she started, light headed.

"Y-you!" She tried to accuse, but it came out breathy. She was in no shape to argue, and anyway where were they? "Nnh" was all she could say, feeling weak. A small sound began above them and she became aware it was raining, getting colder. What could she, no, what should she do now?

The young girl , Yukari finally awoke from her slumber. Akira did not have a chance to greet the girl from her dreams. Watching how the ravened haired girl point and tiredly studded out the word Y-you !

Taking a calming breath trying to hide her amused smile she stood up letting her riding jacket slip off she placed it over girls shoulders. Knowing to give the small girl a moment to think she went to the wood stove bending down she took a few of the old matches that were scattered around and lit a piece of paper soon she has a small fire going nothing much but it would be enough to keep them warm for the time being.

Turning on her heals she faced the girl, she should say something. Feeling rather bad she finally spoke up. " I am very sorry, for you know... I guess it was a bigger deal then I let myself think. Well with that were above the stables it began to rain before you woke up I didn't want to move you again .especially seeing as how the only other place I could think of was my dorm and I didn't want you to think worse of me, So here we are. "

Sitting back, she leaned her back agents the wall next to the wood stove she laid a blanket down over her leaving space for Yukari if she choose to. " better you get over here then catch cold... "

The Prince apologizing made her want to apologize,

"N-no, I was too serious..." She looked around, they were alone in a warm and secluded get away from the rain. She wished it was someone else wanting to share a blanket with her, but it was cold and things could be a lot worse. So....

Obediently, she joined her under the blanket scooting close, but not so close as to touch her, she was blushing and looking down. Looking up at the Prince beside her made her blush more.

"It's just, um, I haven't had my first kiss yet, and um...I'm saving it for...for my senpai.." Her face flooded with warmth. She hadn't Todd anyone about her crush on her room mate, but she felt she needed to explain her behavior and twisted the blanket in her hands. "So I...freaked out a little..."

Listening to each word from the other girl she softly smiled she understood, even though she wasn't expecting the other to apologize. As Yukari sat next to her she almost seemed upset, and not just from what happened today.It became very clear,nodding Akira spoke.

"Thanks for telling me Yukari, I would have hated to steal your first kiss, and as for this other student, I hope she sees how special you are."

A first kiss was precious it was the one thing her grandmother had told her to keep close never to let go freely. Even though Akira found it hard not to flirt and to touch she kept her kiss a secret. She wasn't one to admit that she still hadn't been with someone long enough to share such a special kiss. Yet she had to admit some of that was from her fear to lose someone she loved after her loss of her grandmother it tore her heart. She faked her feeling of love it was better to have fun with them then to show the real thing and lose that someone. As she thought of this she let her eyes close she heard each pitter patter of the rain it seemed to be slower but it was still quite heavy. She thought of how the girl opened up to her. Opening her eyes she peered at the girl next to her " If we had kissed, just saying, it would have been my first kiss as well."

Placing a finger over her lips as if to say don't tell she also gave a wink to the raven haired girl.

She blushed,

"Oh my," to think this Prince had never kissed anyone was so....impressive. A pure prince, a good prince, the...the White Prince. She gave the girl a title that she probably wouldn't tell her about. She also didn't want to tell her that she felt encredibly privilaged to be alone with her...like this...in the rain....alone....so close.

Her heart started beating faster but she didn't have time to be embarrassed, she suddenly had to...to..

"Achoo!" She sneezed and covered her face with the blanket. Now that was embarrassing.

She peeked out, looking at the rain through the window not far away. A horse let out a quiet "Phbbbt" sound and she blinked.

"Do you think it might snow?" It wasn't quite cold enough, and winter was still a little ways off, but the rain did make it quite chilly, she found herself scooting a little closer for warmth. Realizing when their sides touched, her face flushed again and she looked at the Prince and then away. "S-sorry," but she didn't scoot away either.

"Bless you"

She noted how the girl had scooted closer. Akira could feel the wind cool even more this weather was not letting up. She had seen how surprised Yukari had gotten after finding she had not shared her first kiss either, wondering what the girl thought she couldn't help but wrap her arms around the girl bringing her even closer. She smiled at the girls question about to snow. " I hope so, i love snow. If it doesn't happen today when it does will you meet me again so we can share the first snow fall?"

Letting her hand hold to the girls waist. With her lose arm she managed to grab the last piece of wood opening the wood stove door with her foot she threw the wood in closing the door she brought her knee up this allowed her to move a bit better so to face Yukari better. " That is if you don't share it with your Senpai."

Letting a smile linger she looked out the window Yukari had she watched as the rain rippled down the glass leaving streaks of water across it. She also noticed how this stable needed a little work done at least up here, what made her think this was there was a corner of the window glass that was broken. No wonder it was so cold. Finding this out she reached up Yukari shoulders still held to Akiras riding jacket. Akira pulled on it and buttoned the jacket so it wouldn't fall again. " As i said before i would hate for you to catch cold, though..maybe if you did a certain someone would care for you, i bet you'd like that huh?"

With yet another wink she laid her head back again relaxing her body she liked how Yukari felt in her arms, the loss of her grandmother had made it so akira would rather play with her own heart them to show true love and lose it. Still she had to admit this moment made that worry disappear, even though she knew Yukari already had let her heart be taken. Akira can still enjoy could she not?

"H-hai," She agreed, she wouldn't mind sharing the first snow with the white prince. And it made her imagine the girl wearing a white Prince costume standing in a snow glade with her horse, her hand held out with a promise to whisk her away into a fairy tale. The fantasy made her cover her mouth and look at the girl, glad that fantasies happened silently inside ones head and were not played out on a screen to be heard and seen by others.

Akira moved to keep things warm. The fire would burn for a little while on its own now, and the Prince continued to speak. Putting an image in her head that made her bite her lip and hold the blanket tighter. To be nursed to health by Akumu-senpai? She imagined her feeding her soup, placing a cool towel on her head, tucking her in, maybe even...kissing her forehead after she fell asleep.

She squeaked, wiggling a little at the idea that her senpai would ever act so sweetly toward her, but then she relaxed a little, looking almost sad.

"I think Akumu-senpai would care for me, but...only because its polite. She might even stop reading in our dorm and stay away from me, thinking it was being nice and making sure the room was quiet so I could rest, but, she wouldn't realize how lonely that would make me." She said, "Akumu-senpai....she...doesn't notice me at all."

That wasn't true, she had spoken to her, greeted her every evening when they were alone together, every morning while they got ready for school but, they were just room mates. Nothing more. "Eh!" red faced, she felt herself tense up, waving her hands, "B-but that doesn't mean I'm giving up! I just have to...to...do something so she knows that I could be more than just a room mate! I wish I could just..tell her..but...that's way too scary." She relaxed, twisting the blanket again and watching her fingers. Imagining what it would be like to spend the first snow with Akumu, her arm around her the way this Prince had her arms around her now, maybe sharing a scarf...and eating hot sweet potatoes. She wasn't sure why, but just then she remembered there was a Ball coming up. The Winter Ball!

"Maybe I could ask Senpai to the Ball!" She said, thinking out loud, but then immediately shook her head, touching her cheeks, "Ah, I could never do that!" It was way to embarrassing, and way too scary, she could all to clearly imagine Akumu telling her she already had someone else in mind and that was too painful to think about.

Once the girl agreed to hopefully share the first snow with her Akira was once again amused at how Yukari got lost in a day dream again. She wanted so badly to look into that sweet mind she let the girl dream for a moment. Then she listened to the girl as she spoke on about her Senpai apparently the Senpai's name was Akumu.She chuckled at the fact Yukari was now speaking her day dreams out loud the thought of her personal prince caring for her was a dream come true apparently. Yet the girls eyes saddened at how it would never happen like she wished." If she does not notice you she doesn't know what she is missing."

Lifting her hand she took the others chin softly. " You are a grand girl, i can already see this Yukari. This Akumu seems to have gotten in those books you speak of we just need to tear her away from them thats all."

" you should ask her, Yukari, why don't i help you ?"

A a grin full of mischief came to her face yet even though it was playfun she was sincer .
