Fem!Karushuu, Boarding School AU

Summary:

"If we were to shatter your heart into pieces, we could gaze upon the shards and realise that it's not the first time this has happened, is it?"

Asano Gakushuu had always had issues. Sure, her looks and grades were perfect, and there was certainly no haste for her earn money, but there were still problems and flaws, gnawing away at her mind.

In an all-girls boarding school for only the rich and privileged, Akabane Karma is tasked with removing those issues, and smoothing out the bumps. Really, it should've been easy, but the brokenhearted can't fix a heart of their kind.

At least, not simply.

There was a girl. She looked to be Gakushuu's age, but there was something about her eyes, and the way they shone. Locks of fire fell around her shoulders, draping around her ears and over her forehead, halting just above her eyebrows.

Gakushuu's eyes were wide as she gazed over the other girl's features. She wasn't sure if it was the beauty of anonymity drawing her in, or the brilliant embers lit up behind her amber irises. This mystery girl didn't look kind, and 'pretty' was not a word that could do her appearance full justice. 'Striking' was more like it.

But still, she didn't look kind. Gakushuu's mother had always said that this boarding school would set her up with a kind girl - an older sister - to show her the twists and turns of life's labyrinth. This girl did not look kind. She did not look like an older sister.

Something in Gakushuu's head told her to turn away, but it was her eyes, and the smirk playing on her lips. However, something in her heart told her to stay.

Maybe this girl wasn't kind, but maybe Gakushuu didn't need kind. In fact, Gakushuu knew that she didn't need kind, or soft, or docile.

Wild; bright; exciting. That was what Gakushuu wanted. That was what Gakushuu needed.
