She was dancing on top of the lake, her bare feet lightly touching the watery surface. Her steps weren't too fast nor were they too slow. Yet not a single ripple could be seen anywhere on the lake. And then there were the transparent pearl-like water drops, illuminated by the silver moon; floating and following the rhythm of her gentle humming.
He forgot how many times he had seen this breathtaking scene. But each time, she would look that much desirable; even though he couldn't see her face as the moon shone brightly behind her. But the moonlight could hide neither her voluptuous figure nor her long smooth dark hair.
In this stunning place, he wasn't allowed to move or to speak. He was nothing but a silent spectator. He was content before but now it wasn't enough. He wanted to touch her, to hold her. Most of all, he wanted to see her.
His Queen, his savior.

Haruto opened his eyes.
And the first thing he saw was his outstretched hand, aiming forward. With a long sigh, he withdrew his arm. It wasn't the first time he had this dream and he knew that it wasn't the last time. He just wished he could see her face ... or at least a bit more of her features other than her curves.
"Dreaming of her again?"
Haruto's gaze turned to his right and he couldn't help but sigh at what he saw, "How many times have I told you not to pop out like this?"
The man, sitting beside Haruto, gave him a sly look; which looked quite frightening because of his unnatural slitted crimson eyes. He leaned back in his seat and waved his hand around to the seats beside him, "Relax. There is no one here."
Haruto blinked and then looked around to see that his companion was right. They were the only ones on the bus, other than the driver of course. Releasing a deep breath through his mouth, Haruto looked out of the window.
"Look, I do not know if this will help or not but whoever your dream girl is, you will find her sooner or later. You have to be …" Haruto tilted his head a little to look back at his companion with a raised eyebrow, stopping him for a moment. He soon continued but with a snort, "I keep telling you I am not good at this heart to heart talk. She is better than me at this."
Haruto turned fully, a small smile playing on his lips. But as he opened his mouth the bus stopped and the driver announced soon after,
"Kuoh Town."

Two Months Later
The Infamous Delinquent of Kuoh Academy,
That's the title Haruto received just in two months after entering the high school.
Haruto was handsome and most of the females in the school would agree to it, be it the teachers or the students. Unlike the boyish charm of Kiba Yuuto, the prince of Kuoh Academy, Haruto had a mature roughish appeal. His long carnelian red hair with his enchanting golden eyes along with his well-built athletic body could entice almost any woman or girl.
But the problem lied on his one large flaw.
Haruto had the tendency to break the school rules just for the laugh of it; although his actions never harmed anyone in any way or form. If the students were being honest about it, they quite liked Haruto's so-called 'Pranks'. Regardless, his 'Pranks' would cause the authorities a lot of headaches. And the fun fact was, he never once got caught for his misbehavior. But this wasn't the reason why he got his title. It was because quite often Haruto would come to the school with bruises and sometimes wrapped in bandages making everyone believe that he received those injuries through street fights. Though there was no concrete proof regarding the matter.
And now Rias Gremory had to confront the 'Delinquent of Kuoh Academy'. It wasn't by choice. She was the class representative, but most of all she was the idolized 'Onee-Sama of Kuoh Academy'. It was her duty. She just wished her opponent would cut her some slacks.
"Namikaze-san, this is the third time this week that you were late in attending the class."
Haruto dropped his legs from the table. His golden eyes immediately caught Rias's blue-green eyes. Although he had a wide charming smile, Rias couldn't help but avert her eyes from Haruto's. This was the reason why Rias was always reluctant to talk to Haruto, his deep golden eyes. It was as if they could see right through the deepest part of her soul, see every little thing that she was thinking or hiding. Frankly, it was quite unnerving.
It took a few moments for her to gather her composure. She put her hands on her waist and stood straighter, "If you keep this up, you will be barred from taking the exams for low attendance."
Haruto closed his eyes and chuckled, "As far as I know, class rep, I have the minimum amount of attendance I need. And I double confirmed it with the teacher this morning."
Rias groaned inwardly, and this was the reason why Sona didn't like him. No matter what, he would always have an answer, would always have a perfect cover for anything that the Student Council, mainly Sona, could come up with to corner him.
"Yes, but as a senior, we ..." Rias couldn't finish as Haruto smirked devilishly at her, "I think black suits you quite well."
Rias was taken aback, it wasn't the first time Haruto flirted with her. She didn't know how Haruto knew about her undergarment, scratch that, she didn't want to know. Although she had quite the strong resistance against flirts which wouldn't come as a surprise since she had Riser as her fiancé, Haruto's advances would always catch her off-guard. She didn't know how he could accomplish that but she was determined to find out.
Haruto got up and leaned toward Rias who, in return, took a step back involuntarily but she wasn't fast enough as Haruto got very close, "I really wish we could talk more privately but it is getting quite late, Rias-chan." Haruto whispered in her ear before moving back from her personal space. He winked at her before grabbing his bag.
Rias tried to keep her blush down but she knew she failed, miserably at that. She wouldn't admit it out loud but Haruto was kinda the type of person she would date. She sighed and looked at the clock to see that indeed it was quite late. Then she looked back to see that Haruto was already at the door of the classroom.
"I will see you tomorrow, Rias-chan," Haruto said to her from the door before leaving. Rias clenched her fists and with great effort composed herself. She turned around and gave a charming smile to the rest of the students before excusing herself.
