A tall blonde haired St. Miator student walked between the trees of the forest. Rays of light were making it’s way down on her and her surroundings between the trees’ thick branches and made her able to scan the way in front of her. She’d never bothered herself by memorizing how long she’d been walking before reaching the beautiful lake in Astraea Hill, but still knew the way too well. The sixth year student was pretty sure that she could even describe how every tree, plant and brush that she passed on her way looked, having walked to the lake almost once a day for the past three years.

Passing yet a couple of trees, the perfect view of a glittering blue lake came up in front of her. No matter how many times Ritsuko would see this, she never stopped being amazed by its beauty. Blinking a couple of times to get used to the light that was reflected towards her by the water she noticed two birds that jumped down from the top of a tree and danced together in the air above the water. They were chirping happily to each other, maybe even romantically. But both flew back into the forest after a short time and disappeared from sight.

Placing a slender hand on the bark wrapped around a tree Ritsuko stood still and simply gazed at the sight in front of her. So peaceful and pretty, just like a scene from a fairy tale. The girl thought to herself. As the minutes went by she started leaning more and more against the tree and she had eventually her back pressed against the wood. Sinking down to the ground she let her hands fall down to her sides and rest in the soft grass. She stretched out her legs and took off her shoes before pushing herself slightly forward, loosing her contact to the tree. Letting also her back and head lay down in the grass her eyes were now fixed on the blue sky above her. There were few, close to no clouds visible today making the sun shine strongly down on the girl.

Closing her eyes she turned her body to the side, entering a typical sleeping position. Her breath started slowing down and her face expression softened to the point where the St. Miator student looked pretty cute. She looked simply young and innocent where she lay alone in the grass.

LYRICS/QUOTE: Quote by Washington Irving.
GRAMMAR: Spell checked in british english microsoft word.

In a forest surrounding a mountain, the broad trees are standing there like a durable building. The sun was quickly spread around it. Its rays gradually enter into the holes of the dense pine trees. In a quiet place like this, only sounds of animals are heard around, including the sound of water flows into the lake and the sound created by moving plants. The light on the forest are meant to the light of the sky and the dark terrain is covered only in the fierce light of the sun. The gentle air moving and spreads around like a dancing wind. It was very peaceful and quiet that the forest as though residence of the goddess.

"Fresh air!”. The girl inhaled the fresh air while she was walking and wandering around the forest. Every step she made is very significant. She enjoys watching all the natural living things that almost live there in the beginning. All around was very quiet. She continued walking when suddenly, she saw a shining lake, that really amazed her because of its crystalline form. Her eyes sparkled when she saw it. "How beautiful! This seems the Eden Garden, a very beautiful paradise on Earth ".Honoka said. She hurriedly went to it. A trend that she almost falls in her longing to see the view there. When she arrived, she suddenly stopped and hid herself in a big tree when she saw an unfamiliar thing. "Anybody here?” she asks softly. She previewed it and gradually released her the body into the large tree and she was shocked on what she had seen. A sleeping woman beside a tree. She slowly approached it. "A woman? I'm sure it was." She said to herself. Honoka noticed this semi-gold hair. “Seems as bright as the sunlight.” she smiled. Her beautiful face captured Honoka’s attention and her bloody red eyes as well.. "A sleeping goddess."She whispered. She tried to approach yet closer to the sleeping girl. She came slowly and surely way without noise created because it might wake her. She smiled at the girl’s sleeping face. It was very smooth so she tried to touch her rosy cheek.

Hearing a feminine and cute voice speak to herself the older Miator student quickly woke up being a light sleeper, though pretended to still be fast asleep. Ritsuko was good at pretending, as well as hiding she knew that too well and there was few people that actually knew what she was thinking about. Keeping her eyes closed she heard how the other girl called her a sleeping goddess and had to pull herself together to not smile at this comment.

Silence filled the air, and the lying girl assumed that the other was approaching her though trying her best not to “wake” her up. Still when nothing happened the blonde haired girl couldn’t help but wonder if the finder of her hidden rest place had left. That was until she heard movement just beside her and felt a soft hand touch her skin.

Inwardly jumping of surprise the resting girl’s eyes fluttered open, only to meet a couple of deep red eyes. The sight of those beautiful eyes made the older student freeze for a short moment, only gazing into the black haired girl’s orbs. Blinking a couple of times she snapped out of her trance and let a smile to her face. “Why hello there,” she said softly. “How lucky I am to be waken up by such a cute girl at a beautiful day like this.” The older girl said and slowly sat up.

Putter her hand over the pale strangers hand that had just touched her cheek she leant closer to the other student. “What’s your name?” she asked with a somewhat seductive voice as her other hand rose to cup the dark haired girl’s cheek.

The girl was surprised because the sleeping woman suddenly woke up as she was looking earlier. Her pair of golden eyes is all bright as her long hair. Her stunning face was glowing when she awaked.

Suddenly, the girl felt the warm pale hand to touch a woman in her cheeks. She felt a little fear when she was touched by the older girl’s hands and went up for a short distance. She looked at the girl’s face and she bowed her head. "I'm so sorry Onee-sama! I do not want to wake you up. Forgive me from what I’ve done.". She sat down beside the girl will full of embarrassment and leaned on the tree. She glanced again to the girl beside her and fearly said,. "I'm Honoka. Pleased to meet you." She lend her shaking hand to the girl and gave her a warm smile. Her feelings became comfortable after a moment. “Why are you alone in this place, Onee-sama?” She looked straightly to the beautiful view that was seen in their occupied area. The girl smiled and feels at ease. “The view in here was so perfect and relaxing that we can go ourselves here when we are so bored or stressed!” Honoka stretched her hands and inhaled the fresh breeze of wind. “Onee-sama, the truth is, I’m wandering in here earlier, finding for a place to rest when suddenly, I saw something and wondered what that thing is. So I went to this nearer and found you sleeping but I didn’t want to wake you up.”, she said.

The embarrassment that Honoka felt a while ago quickly goes back and she felt uneasy again because of thinking back what she have done earlier. She talks to her but even forgot to ask the older girl’s name because of that feelings. She want so say sorry for a million times!

The girl was shy, Ritsuko noticed with a smile. She liked the shy, cute and adorable ones, it would always remind her of the time when she got to learn what love truly was. “Don’t worry about that sweetheart. I’m glad you did,” Ritsuko said and gave the younger girl one of her warm and charming smiles. The girl named Honoka was soon smiling back at her, putting the elder girl at ease. She didn’t seem tense like she’d done only a moment ago as well, meaning that Ritsuko’s normal soothing effect was indeed doing its normal work on this girl.

Leaning backwards the golden haired girl fell back into the grass yet again. She wore a small relaxed smile on her face as she continued listening to the girl, letting her finish her speech before replying. “Well Honoka-kun, I guess you just mentioned some of my reasons for going here as well. It’s nice to have such a place to go to, and your own spot like this were no one else comes. This is the place I go to whenever skipping classes. Truth be told dear I feel caged at Astraea Hill. We can only be inside the fence that separate these three schools from the world outside. I have to make special orders to even get the newspaper delivered to me every day. We live in our own little bubble, in such harmony and don’t even get information about the world outside. Expect from letters from family and such. I don’t find that right. But there’s nothing I can do about that. Still when I go here to see the nature and water, I feel freer than I do at school.” Ritsuko told the other girl. A cold breeze passed the two and made Ritsuko’s hair dance together with the grass.

“Don’t worry about that,” The flirt chuckled slightly at the girl’s nervousness. “I told you I felt lucky to have been waken up by you right?” She closed her eyes and grinned at the sun. “You see, yesterday I got a letter from my family. They’re all happy back home, my mother, father and little brother. Today I went here to… Reflect upon this.” The Miator student said but her voice held a hint of sadness. The fact that her family was happy and everything at home were back to what it once were made it even harder for the Kanada daughter to accept her past. Why had her father forgotten those six years and then pretended that nothing ever happened? She would always question herself, but in fear of ruining anything at home she would never say a word to her parents or speak her mind to anyone else.

“So tell me you were looking for a place to rest? Whatever may have made you this tired? Has it been a long day, or is something making it hard for you to fall asleep at night?” She asked the girl and rolled over to look at the other girl’s figure.

NOTES: I just read Honoka’s profile to learn a little about her past, and it seems like both she and Ritsuko’s fathers haven’t been acting that well in their pasts. (Of course Emerentiana’s past is more similar to Honoka's) If you ever become curios about Ritsuko’s past then I just updated her character template the other day and wrote the long version about her. =^-^=

While she hears every statement of the girl beside her, she felt the grief in its tone of voice and felt that she feels sorrow.

"Ritsuko-sama, are you ok? Do you have a problem?" Honoka brought her body next to the girl and held her soft, tender and warm hands. "I know the pain of being away from family because I feel the same way too.. and feel confined to this big school like a bird in a cage.." It turned down and looked at the green grass dancing to the accompaniment of the wind. "I could feel what you feel right now.. But.. for me, I'm happier being all alone..because when I'm alone,I feel myself to be free..and I must be free.." She lifts her head and looked at the blue sky. "Try to look up, It's nice right? That's where I want to be.." She looked at the face of the woman. "When I'm alone, I don't think of something bad.. because it will make me feel sad..and addition to that,no one will ever comfort me when I put myself in that worthless things.." Honoka says with smile attempting to delete the sorrow of her Ritsuko-sama. After that, Honoka stands and Ritsuko's sight follows as she stands up thinking what the girl will do.. She stepped front a bit and turn around. She lift her both hands like wings of a bird and inhaled the fresh air. "Hey, Ritsuko-sama. Come, let's take a walk. The scenery is so amusing. Let's wander around" She smiled and lend her hand to the girl. "Let's go..together.."
