My first fanfic ever! Please read and review. (Pretty pretty please?)

Disclaimer: I own nothing. (Sadly…)


"…Are you really sure about this Malik?" Ishizu asked for what was probably the millionth time that morning.

"Yes, sister," The blond rolled his eyes. "I'm absolutely positive."

"But you've never been to a school before!" She exclaimed, tearing up a little.

"I'm well aware of that," he said, pulling on the blue uniform, "But you know as well as I do that it's better if I spend at least some time in one, otherwise-"

"-It will be much more difficult for you to adapt to life on the surface." Finished the eldest Ishtar, "I will drive you to school today, if you wish."

Malik grinned, "Thanks. Bye sis!" He said, escaping out the door before she could protest.

"Ishizu's hair'll go gray at this rate." Said Malik as he plopped down in the seat of his brother's car, "She worries too much."

Rishid chuckled, "She merely feels concern for your welfare. As do I, Mas-" Malik looked up quickly "-Lik." He corrected himself.

"Rishid…"

"I apologize. Old habits are hard to break."

Malik sighed, "Yeah, I know…"

The two brothers sat in silence for a while. Eventually, they arrived at the school.

"…Are you nervous?" Rishid asked.

Malik bit his lip "…a little…"

Rishid smiled knowingly and hugged him, "Good luck. I am certain that you will do well."

"…Thanks Rishid." Malik said as Rishid drove away. The young Ishtar then turned towards the school, took a deep breath, and walked forward.


MokoBunChan: I seem to have a strange affinity for both commas and dialogue. I'll try to add the next chapter soon (I already wrote it, need to type it) so please don't give up on me. ^.^
