"No matter what my heart will be forever yours and I will fight until the day I see you once again."

Snowflakes fell on the sky as it was visible from the window panels, a girl with white hair smiled brightly when she saw a pure, white snow.

"Mom, Dad, take a look. There are lots of snow outside!" she said cheerfully as she leaned her bare hands against the window.

"Speaking of snow, there's a christmas parade at the town...How about we go there and watch, Darling?" her mother said as she turned to her husband with a grin.

"Oh, that's a great idea! Honey, go and get changed, you too, Shiro!" her father beamed as all of them get ready their coats and scarfs.

After some minutes past, they went out of the house and walked together to the town that is expected to be crowded and filled with people.

"Look at the people, this up coming parade is really a huge hit!"

"Tell me about it, Shiro-chan, stay close to mother."

They passed through the streets that was crowded with civilians such as themselves, but you could see smiles on each person's faces...it's winter after all, they would spent it with their loves one together.

Then they reached the parade just in time, the lights illuminated the audience eyes as they gawked happily while watching throughout the parade.

"Wow, they're so amazing!" Shiro beamed happily while pointing at the circus troupes performing.

The places was crowded of people that people can easily be washed off the huge numbers of people there, Shiro tripped and was caused to be apart with her parents because of the crowd.

"E-Excuse me...ouch," she was bumped with a tall male and was forced to leave the crowd, now that she was outside the crowd.

She was lost, not knowing where her parents is, now she was stuck in the coldness of the winter night. Since she was lost, she decided to wander off for awhile, after walking aimlessly, she spotted a park that was covered with snow.

"How pretty," she mumbled while staring at the snowflakes that quietly landed on her small palm.

Since she was finally surrounded with a huge pile of snow, she decided to create a snowman for the time being.

"I made it, my first snowman!" she stared at the snowman in front of her and squealed delightedly.

But her happiness shattered when someone accidentally stepped on her first hand made snowman, it made her gasped as she looked up and saw her culprit.

"Oh, my bad...I didn't know you were making a snowman."

Tears silently fell on the floor as the person who stepped on her snowman grew panicked in why she started crying.

"Uwaah! My snowman!"

"H-Hey, don't cry! I-I didn't mean to step on it!"

Shiro didn't listened to his excuse and kept crying, he sighed, knowing that she wouldn't listened to him.

So he grabbed a handful of snow as he created a snowman once again, the albino haired girl looked up and saw her snowman again.

"Here, I fixed it...stop crying."

"M-My snowman! You fixed it...thank you very much!"

She hugged the boy who was near her age, the boy blushed furiously as he tried to get off her grip from him.

"H-Hey let go! Don't hug me, we're strangers!"

"What's your name?"

"Yuuichirou,"

"I'm Shiro~ then we're not strangers anymore!"

He finally gets free from her grip as he stared at her who was smiling happily, there were few red dust on his cheeks.

"Don't get so cozy with me! It doesn't changed the fact that we're strangers!"

"Uh...I'm sorry,"

"Tsk, forget about it."

Yuuichirou has medium length black hair and possesses sharp green eyes, while Shiro has long, silver pigtails and possesses crimson eyes.

"Hey Yuu, let's make snow angels!"

"Huh? Why do I have to?"

"It's lonely if I do it alone, you'll play with me, right?"

She showed her adorable puppy eyes as Yuu's eyes twitched, he was extremely weak with those eyes. He lets out a sigh as he adverted his gaze with her while rubbing the back of his neck.

"It can't be helped, alright...just for a little while okay?"

"Sure!"

They started to lay down the freezing, white ground and started flapping their arms while making an snow angel as they laughed.

After creating a snow angel, they started to have a snow fight in where they tossed a pile of snow to each other. They laughed during the game.

"Eat this!"

"Whoa, that's cold!"

They continued throwing snowballs to each other while laughing happily, as kids, they get along with each other.

"Shiro!" another voice yelled as the two kids playing with the snow turned around to see two adults with opposite gender calling her.

"Mom! Dad!" Shiro beamed as she didn't hesitant to ran up to her parents.

Once she reached them, her parents hugged her small, petite body tightly.

"Where have you been? We were worried sick you know."

"You made your mother worried, Shiro...don't do that again."

They released their grip on her as the two of them looked at their daughter to see her pouting.

"It's not my fault, there are lots of people in the crowd!"

All they could do was ruffled her soft, silver hair while the two of them grabbed both of her hands and started walking away.

Yuu was watching this as he secretly smiled, he lifted his shoe to walk out but stopped when he heard someone called him out.

"Hey Yuu!" he turned around to see Shiro looking at him, he was puzzled as he turned to her.

"Let's play again sometimes, kay?"

"Sure."

A smile curved on his lips as the girl waved at him with a huge grin on her innocent face.

"See you later!"

Was what she last said as she and her parents walked away and left him all alone, he lifted his hand slightly and waved back.

"See you later...Shiro," he whispered.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Shiro and her family stopped at a bench for awhile as she sat up on the wooden seat while she looked up to her parents, somehow...their eyes were filled with sadness.

"We are just going to buy some coffee to warm us up, you stay here." her mom ordered as she nodded.

"Don't leave that place till we get back okay?" his father said as she nodded.

She watched them walked away as they we're completely out of her vision of sight, she began to hum a song quietly while waiting for her parents's arrival.

Several minutes passed as her parents have yet arrived to get her, she shook the thought and continued waiting.

She waited...and waited, and waited, yet there were no signs of her parents coming back.

"They're late," she mumbled to no particular someone, just to herself.

Coldness crept to her skin as christmas was soon to come, she hugged her legs while she rested her chin on her knees.
She could feel herself drowzy, cold and sleepy.

"They aren't coming..."

Tears silently fell on her knees as she  curled like a ball while she sobbed in silence, that's when she realised she was already abandoned by them.

"Mom, Dad...why?" her eyelids slowly closed as she drifted to sleep.

She was asleep for an hour or so outside the cold weather, you could see that she was shivering from the coldness.

That's when a blonde haired boy noticed her presence as he turned to her, he walked up to her and gently shake her from her slumber.

"Hey you...wake up," no avail, she was still asleep, he noticed how cold her skin was.

He began to shook her once again until she opened her eyes as her crimson eyes met azure ones.

"Finally, you're awake."

"Huh...who are you?"

She rubbed her eyes while looking up to the young boy standing in front of her, the boy smiled.

"I'm Mikaela, you are?"

"Shiro...that's my name,"

Mika has blonde hair and possesses azure sparkling eyes, he noticed that this girl had red eyes....not because that was her eye colour but the redness was an evidence that she cried.

"Where's your parents?"

"I don't have any, they left me."

The blonde nodded in reply, he understood her situation right now....it was really harsh.

"Don't you have any relatives you can ran for help?"

"I don't know any except my parents, they never introduced to me our relatives before."

"I see...so that's why you're alone?"

She nodded and smiled sadly, that's when Mika thought of a good idea.

"If you don't have anywhere to stay into, why don't you stay at our place and be one of our family?"

"R-Really? You mean that?"

"Yeah, I'm sure that the director would be delighted to have a new family member!"

She smiled happily as she found a new reason to be happy, she stood up from the cold bench and hugged him.

"Thank you, Mika!"

"It's fine, let's go back to where everyone is and meet your new family welcoming you with bright smiles!"

"Yeah!" since that day, she lost her former family but, was able to find a new family that will welcome her.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Mika stopped on a house that is seemed to be an orphanage for young kids, Shiro looked up and saw a huge sign that is carved with Hyakuya Orphanage, the boy grabbed her hand as he pulled her in to meet her new family.

"I'm back everyone!" Mika yelled as kids who were younger than them gathered up together.

"Who is the girl next to you, Mika?"

"Oh Akane, she is Shiro...our new family member!"

Everyone had bright smiles on their faces as they greeted Shiro happily, like Mika said to her earlier.

"She's really cute!"

"Hey sis, did you dyed your hair into silver?"

"You're eyes are bright red!"

Shiro chuckled at the comments that the children of the orphanage giving her, then an old woman appeared.

"Oh my, I saw a new face I've never seen before...who could you be?" the female asked with a bright smile.

"Her name is Shiro, director!" Mika introduced Shiro to their director.

"Shiro, huh? What a pretty name." The woman brushed through her silver hair lightly as she chuckled.

"Hey director, can Shiro-chan stay here with us?"

"Of course, why not?"

Then they celebrated as Shiro was accepted in their orphanage, she felt happy that she was able to meet such wonderful people who can treat her with love and kindness...at least that was what she thought.
