I own all of Rin, and no, she's not the Rin from InuYasha…oh, and Kam is a creation of Mak…ye be warned…
Sara Mudo sat at the long lab table and sighed in her mind once more, twisting the engagement ring around her finger. Once the fall semester was over Sara would be on her way to England to marry a beau she'd only met over the phone. He sounded nice enough, but for the fact he didn't think a woman held purpose in school. However, he would compromise for Sara.
Hikaru, Sara's newest friend, nudged her to silently tell her to pay attention to what the teacher was doing. Sara had met Hikaru the previous morning in what their Chemistry class. The two had seated themselves in the back row and Hikaru had braved the first introductions. He'd forgotten his glasses and so asked Sara's help. From there they chatted and walked back to the main building and had lunch together. The two had struck common ground in class when another classmate had entered late. Hikaru's thought process faltered, perhaps even stopped, when the girl came in. Instantly Sara knew the boy's feelings. For she, too, held such feelings about a boy, only hers were forbidden…
"He's going to burn money!" Hikaru whispered, his brilliant blue eyes flashing with excitement. Sara turned her own eyes unto the teacher, Mr. Hariguru, as he mixed water and ethyl alcohol in a beaker before bringing forth a hundred dollar bill. The croud's eyes went wide and whispers erupted amongst themselves. Two familiar demons in human's clothing watched with as much intrigue.
"I need two volunteers" Mr. Hariguru announced after voicing the instructions. NO one seemed too eager, but Kurai raised her hand high.
"Alright, you in the back, come on up. You get to light the match." The teacher said happily. Kurai 'yay'd and jumped from her stool.
"You sure—" Arachne started, but Kurai shushed him and ran up to the desk. The teacher ordered another, nervous student to turn out the lights at the right time. Kurai lit the match, setting the dollar on fire, and the lights went off to show the burning. Once the blue flames extinguished, Hariguru ordered the lights back on to observe the burnt bill.
"Alright…huh…" he gave a foax-puzzled look. The bill was fine, not a burn mark on it. He smiled as the class 'ooo'd.
About the only ones who seemed unimpressed at the 'cold flame' were those of Kira, Setsuna's friend, and Rin, a less-than-cheery woman who had come to know Kira ever so slightly.
Rin smiled at the idiocy of the people, while Kira read his book. Rin sat across the table from Kira and Setsuna, and next to her friend, Ville at the furthest table to the left of the room. All appeared to enjoy being apart from the others, except for one; Setsuna. He sighed in frustration at not being allowed to go anywhere near Sara at all times. Setsuna was glad they weren't in highschool anymore. Now, no one knew, no one talked, and no one cared.
"Hika!" Sara cried to her lab partner and smacked him upside the head, after which she moved his hand away from the lit bunsen burner.
"Are you trying to set yourself on fire?" she asked him rather harshly.
The boy only blinked and blushed a bit while running his fingers through his blond bangs, letting them tangle with the brown strands before falling messily back into place.
"Sorry, I—" Hikaru started. Sara put a hand up to shush him. She folded her own hair back into a ponytail and looked a table ahead, smiling. Mak Di Donato, a.k.a. 'Hikaru's crush', was dancing about after having nearly set her eyebrows on fire because she let too much gas seep out before lighting the Bunsen.
"I think you two were a match made in Heaven…or Hell, seeing as how you both seem to like being set on fire..." Sara chuckled to herself. Hikaru gave a dry laugh and a glare to Sara.
Finally, class was over. They could eat!
Setsuna found a booth with a computer at the cafeteria. Bordly he played a solitaire game, a basket of fries and a ham sandwich laying untouched at his side. Kira read, eating nothing, and sat across the table from Setsuna.
"You'll burn your retinas doing that…" Kira informed, not taking a glance away from his book. Setsuna longed for someone to beat up just then, giving a glare to Kira. But this was college now, and in college bullies, bullying, were basically extinct.
"What do I care?" He answered. If I can never see Sara again I'd rather not see at all… he thought sadly. His face repeated his melancholy.
Kira only laughed and shook his head. Setsuna cursed himself, cursed the law, life, and cursed love. He'd had a restraining order against him set by his mother, forbidding him from coming into contact with Sara. His mother even came to the college with Sara when she could, giving Sara a ride to and from school. She did everything in her power to make sure the two never set eyes on one another.
"You wanna go sparring?" Kira offered, knowing Setsuna wanted to hit something. He also knew it was the best way to get Setsuna's mind off of everything. Breaking his daze the boy looked up to his friend, running the idea through his mind.
"Huh?...oh…yeah, sure…" Setsuna mumbled, getting up. As two parted from the building Sara took a glance in their direction. Spotting Setsuna she wanted to cry, yet blushed. She longed for him, and the fact that she couldn't have him just made her desire him more. One could see it in her eyes. Such begging, angelic eyes.
Hikaru sat talking at a separate booth with some of his other friends and chanced a glance at the heart-throbbed girl. He smiled at her gaze. "Such love" he said. Hikaru looked at the pair of boys exiting and figured Kira was the one who made Sara swoon and sigh. He guessed she never talked to him because he was always with Setsuna. Hikaru never dared Sara could be in love with Setsuna, her own brother. It wasn't right, and really weird.
As Setsuna walked away Sara knew this first year of college would be the most difficult. Hikaru thought the same as Mak fluttered across his eyes. He made a ridiculous, bashful grin as he sighed. It would be a very difficult year indeed…
