Author's Note: This is a Magic Knight Rayearth based fanfic. You must understand that in the beginning of the story, Hikaru lost all her memory of Cephiro as well as Ms. Fuu. PM me if you have a question or remark, but please do not post it here. Thank you!

Chapter One: Intro
Tokyo
I stepped out into the morning sun and sighed in deep relief. "I don't see him. It's safe to go." I gripped my bag a little tightier and lightly bounced down the stairs, pushing my long red braided hair behind me. Hikari sat at the entrance of the dojo with his tongue hanging out.
I didn't see that boy from school, so I thought it was safe to go.
For one week now, a new student named Lantis arrived at the Middle School. He didn't say hi to anyone. He didn't talk to anyone. He didn't wave to anyone.
He never smiled.
All I know is, he always stared at me, watching my every move. In class, he would rest his chin on his palm and just look my way, as if he was studying me. My friends all thought he was cute, but I never really payed any attention to boys. Not yet.
Usually he would walk up my street to get to school. He didn't this morning and I wondered if he was absent. But once I reached the Middle School, that all seemed to change.
He was sitting by himself under the cherry tree, leaning on the wishing well. His long, slender legs stretched out calmly and his pitch black hair covering up his eyes. He was staring at the ground. I didn't see my friends, so I walked over to him and sat down, several yards away. He looked at me from the corner of his eye and once he felt it was safe, he sat up straight and stared.
I pretended not to pay attention; his eyes looked so cold. I couldn't help but remember him from somewhere. Somewhere...far.
This is when I decided to take out a book and skim through it. Lantis didn't change expression. He looked much older than a Middle School student. He looked to be old enough for college, or even beyond. No matter, I began to read.
Suddenly, I leaned against the edge of the fountain and my hand slipped. I lost the grip of my book and amazingly, was stopped by someone's cold hand. It was Lantis. He helped me up from my leaning position and handed me my book with his other hand. "You should be more careful."
I didn't know what to say. He was looking directly into my eyes, still holding out my book, his lips slightly open. "Thanks.." I took my book from him and he turned and walked away.
I would have ran after him, but the bell rang. And he was gone.
Tokyo Tower
I ran into the diner at Tokyo Tower and ran up to the counter, that day after school. This was my after school job: a waitress. It payed good money for a child my age and I was happy to work for only four hours. I ran into the kitchen to grab my apron but I was stopped by my boss. "Ms. Shidou, you are late! As usual!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Reiku. I had to stay after school to take a test-"
"Excuses, excuses! Just get to work! Fuu needs all the help she can get! You know she just started this job! Now go help with the costumers!"
I slightly bowed. "Yes, sir." and ran back out of the kitchen with a pad and pencil. Fuu fixed her glasses and wrote down the order for a couple at table three. She seemed like a natural. She was pretty, friendly, and judging by her uniform, very smart. Her short, bouncy blonde hair moved to her beat as she walked swiftly past me and into the kitchen. Moments later, back out. She didn't stop without a glance.
I decided to tend to a boy at table five. When I got there, I found a him reading a magizine with a picture of a bunny as the logo. I took one look and guessed correctly. "May I help you, sir?"
The boy looked up from his magizine and closed it, revealing a faint picture of a gorgous model on the cover. I didn't really stare. "Not really, I just came here to study."
I giggled. "Studying a Playboy zine?"
He turned a faint red and tossed the zine back into his backpack and took out a text book. "Actually, I'm waiting here to tutor someone. He should be coming any moment. Do you mind if this becomes our new study place?"
"That is no problem at all." I lifted my pencil to the pad. "Do you want a drink?"
"Sure. Make it a Cola. Thanks."
I nodded and turned rapidly away from the boy. He smiled and pushed his green hair back and rubbed his forehead. From the kitchen, I can see him glancing at his bookbag, trying his best to see the model on the cover.
Fuu ran in the kitchen and rushed to get more napkins. Then she ran out. I grabbed the Cola from the fridge and walked out of the kitchen with a straw when I saw him. Lantis. He just entered the diner, holding his jacket by the collar over his shoulder with his suitcase in his left hand. Surprisingly, he sat down at the table of the boy I just tended to.
"Here is your Cola." I said with a smile as I set the drink next to the text book. Lantis looked up at me.
"Thanks, babe." The boy opened the drink and gulped it down, ignoring the straw I gave him.
"Please don't call me that. I'm not used to it." I said, blushing slightly but didn't show it.
"Not used to it? A pretty girl like you should hear it all the time." the boy said, leaning over toward me.
Fuu must have overheard, because she rushed over to the table and put her hands on her hips. "Ferio, what have I told you about calling girls you don't even know 'babe'?"
"I'm sorry, Fuu!" Ferio said, smiling at me. "But it makes girls feel better, don't it?"
Fuu hissed and walked away from the table. I still stood there, stunned. Lantis sighed and pulled the text book closer to him. "Ferio, stop talking to girls and let's study." Ferio hissed and sat closer to Lantis, pointed out things in the book. His voice seemed to be mute as I studied the two and left back into the kitchen.
That's when I learned his name was Ferio.
