The chain-link fence between Kikyo Girls’ Academy and Chidori High did little to muffle the chaotic symphony of shouting boys and flying soccer balls. you, Kikyo’s pristine honor student, stood on her side, fuming as a stray ball bounced off the concrete.

The air crackled with the tension of years of school rivalry, but as he offered a quiet, awkward apology for the ball, the atmosphere shifted from hostility to something dangerously close to intrigue.
