{A/N Faith-007 here with a new joint fic with Mokona}

Raven Azawriath grinned evilly at her shorter black haired, blue-eyed friend. She also had black hair and murky blue eyes that made people think they were sisters. Of course people definitely thought she was older as she was 3 inches taller than her so-called sister. The girls had been best friends forever though.

Eternity Darin had her hands on her hips and glared up into almost identical blue eyes. She had been framed and was now stuck going to a reform school. A god dammed reform school. And the person who framed her was grinning about it.

"You are so lucky we're friends Raven." Eternity growled.

"Yeah, so you would have preferred me going away all by myself?" Raven teased.

Eternity sighed and shook her head, "I guess not."

"See, I knew you wouldn't want me to go alone!" Raven smirked and Eternity groaned.

"You can be the most annoying person in the world did you know that?" Eternity sneered as she walked towards the bus that was going to take the girls and many other students to The Comp.

"Oh quit complaining plus did you see Mister Nickels face when he saw what you had done....... you bad girl" teased Raven once again as she looked at Eternity.

The bus seemed oddly full as the two girls made their way across the cement walkway. The murky glint in Raven's eyes sparkling as a sharp pain sprang from a newly made cut on her wrist...

Turning her head to look at Raven, Eternity noticed Raven's wrist.... "Why do you do that Raven? I know you're careful, but if they are found during reform school they would lock you up in a padded room." said Eternity as she handed Raven a pair of low cut gloves which covered the marking for the ride down there.

Eternity took her seat quickly wanting the one by the window. Time seemed to fly by and go much quicker if Eternity had something to focus on. After all Raven wasn't much of a conversation person.

People on the bus eyed the two girls curiously as they sat in silence. Most of the students that were on the bus were boys. Raven gave them a level stare and most looked away. The ones who continued to stare she glared at and they looked away rather quickly.

Eternity shook her head and watched her friend as she sat down and crossed her arms. She could see the blood seeping through the gloves and handed Raven a new pair. "Watch it Rave, I don't want you shipped to the loony bin because you cut yourself!" Eternity hissed.

"Sorry, Ten." Raven sighed as she pulled on the new gloves. She caught her friend's eyes and saw the worry in them. "I'll be more careful."

"Good, cause if you go the loony bin I might have to kill you." Eternity grinned and Raven gave her a small smile. The old bus, full of old bus smells jostled the girls when it moved. It bumped along the road and was very uncomfortable.

Especially with all the curious delinquents breathing down their necks.

"Raven? Is it just me or are we art pieces on this bus?" said Eternity as she peered around the bus with everyone staring at her.

Looking around Raven growled, "Yeah seems so" Raven paid no heed to any of them, she just turned around and pulled up the sleeve of her dress and started picking at one of her scars slowly a drop of blood rolled down her arm and landed on her exposed leg.

It wasn't long before the bus halted, and stopped at the large gates of the reform school.

"OFF THE BUS!" yelled the driver as he turned back to all the students.

"Rave.... Were here" said Eternity as she turned to her distracted friend, sliding her hand over Raven's she took her bleeding hand and stood up taking her off the bus.

"Oh joy" said Raven as she looked at Eternity, stepping off the bus neither Raven or Eternity could see another girl insight. "A dominant male school!"

"Great!!!" said Raven and Eternity.

"Whoa!" Raven fell to the ground as someone ran into her.

"RAVE!" yelled Eternity as Raven still had hold of her hand and pulled her down with her. "You could have let go instead of pulling me down too!"

Both girls sat on the hard cement staring up at two boys. "Would you jerks watch where you run?!" Raven growled as she helped Eternity up.

"No kidding, I prefer standing to sitting thank you very much!" Eternity grumbled as she dusted off her pants.

The two boys looked at the girls with curiosity. One was a tall boy with two-toned blue hair, his cool auburn eyes ran over each girl with interest. He stopped on Raven and smirked, she wasn't bad looking.

The other boy was tall and dangerous looking, not that the first boy wasn't, just not so much as this one. His pale hair fell into ice blue eyes as he surveyed the girls emotionlessly.

Eternity looked down at the ground as she saw blood dripping from Raven's fingertips, she had been picking at her worst scar again. Looking up at the boys as she finished dusting off her pants she surveyed the boy with the ice blue eyes.

Raven made eye contact with the two toned haired boy and then began to rub her wrist....

"Awwww what's wrong? Did the ickle girl hurt her wrist?" laughed the boy who has been eyeing her over and suddenly as he looked at her wrist he saw a faint red tinge covering her hands.

"Lets go Kai" said the boy with purple hair and ice blue eyes, Eternity could have sworn they were able to pierce your soul if given the chance.

"Yea whatever" said Kai as he walked away.

"Shit!" said Raven as she pulled off her glove just as Kai and His friend Bryan got out of earshot. Her wrist was covered in smeared blood. She ripped a piece of her skirt off and handed it to Eternity.

"Would you mind? I'm not left handed."

Eternity took the material, cleaned the wound up and then tied it around her arm and sliding the glove back on...

"You have to stop this Rave" said Eternity as she looked at her friend and the pain in her eyes.

"I've promised I will be more careful, this is just a bit of smeared blood its nothing......" she didn't get to finish, as she fell over in a complete black out. Eternity gasped and sank down beside her friend. She was pale......... this was obviously the result of blood loss.

"Oh my God......... damn!" Eternity stood up and ran after the boys; she had tears in her eyes as she caught up to them. "P-please-h- help-sh-she-blac- blacked-out!" she managed to choke out before breaking into sobs.

The pale haired boy looked at her curiously, "Ok, now say it so we can understand you."

Eternity's head snapped up and she glared at him coldly. "MY FRIEND BLACKED OUT CAN YOU HELP?!?!" she screamed.

Kai and Bryan glanced at each other before walking over to Raven. Kai knelt down beside her and checked her over before picking her up. Eternity ran up beside him and looked at her friend's pale face.

"Please be ok Rave." She whispered.

Raven didn't move in Kai's arms. He was shocked at how surprisingly light she was.

"Take her to the medical ward Kai." said Bryan as he looked curiously at Eternity's face...

"WHAT NO YOU CAN'T!" Eternity shouted in panic.

"Why not?" Bryan asked emotionlessly.

"If they find out, then they will stick in a padded room!" said Eternity as tears again began to fill her eyes.

"She's blacked out and we don't know why, we have-" Kai sighed but Eternity interrupted him before he could finish.

"Blood loss" pronounced Eternity.

"Blood loss?" Kai questioned what he had just heard....

"It's Raven, she's a chronic self harmer, she cuts herself" said Eternity as she looked at Ravens wrist; it seemed to have stopped bleeding, for the time being anyway.

"Raven?" whispered Kai as he guessed that to be the girls' name.

"Please, do you have anywhere else we could take her? I don't want her to get sent away! She told me she was going to slow down! Please!" Eternity pleaded with them.

"Who are you here visiting?" Kai asked coldly.

"Huh? Visiting?! We have to go to school here!" Eternity replied indignantly. "Just because we're girls doesn't mean we can't get into trouble!"

"Hn, so where do we put her? I couldn't care less if she was shipped away" the pale haired boy sneered.

"That's cause you haven't grown up with her!" Eternity was getting frantic. She could see that the blood flow had started again and a small stream off blood dripped onto the pavement off her slender fingers. "Listen, if you won't help I'll go find someone else! Standing here isn't going to stop the bleeding!"

Kai raised an eyebrow and looked down. He smirked, "Looks like she isn't exactly the smartest girl."

Eternity stared at him, without warning she raised her hand and would have hit Kai if his friend hadn't interfered. He grabbed her wrist and held it firmly at her side. She whirled and raised her other hand to hit him. "Let me go!"

The boy rolled his eyes and grabbed the other hand causing Eternity to scream in frustration.

"We can take her to our room Bryan" Kai growled as he started walking towards the dorms.

"Humph" Bryan glared at Eternity and followed Kai dragging her with him.

When they got inside the boys dorms the group ran into a tall, lanky, red head. His blood red hair stuck up on either side of his head and two blood red bangs fell into his eyes.

"Hey Tala" Kai smirked as he unlocked his and Bryan's dorm room.

"Hey Kai, Bryan. What did you do Kai?" Tala teased as he took in Raven and Eternity.

Kai ignored Tala and walked inside the room.... He looked around and placed Raven on the couch, looking up her stood their and began to walk out of the room....

"WHAT WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE HER!" said Ten as she pounced Kai and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him backwards towards Raven.

"Get off!" shouted Kai as he pushed Eternity backwards into Bryan.

Eternity's eyes were filled with so much sadness it became hard to even look at her...

"Please Rave, please Rave be ok!" said Eternity.

"Kai shortly returned holding a bunch of white towels...

"So....Who are you visiting?" said Tala as he walked into the room and lent against the door frame.

It really bothered Eternity that someone thought she and Raven were visiting someone.

"Visiting? We've been made to go to school here" proclaimed Ten as she glared at Tala.

Tala saw the evil look in her eyes and smirked.

"Whatcha do?" said Tala simply. "What?" said Eternity a little confused.

"What did you do to be put in lock down?" said Tala as he looked down at her, She didn't look half bad ....for a girl...

"Me... I did nothing....." Ten looked towards Raven and glared at her slightly though not for long. Kai was sat next to her treating her wounds.... "She framed me"

"Framed you?" replied Bryan.

"What did she do" said Tala as he looked up at Raven with a smirk.

"She blew up the bathroom and then put my book bag in it, and then when the teacher interviewed her, cause she's known for doing things like that she told him that I was the one who had done it." Eternity sighed.

"Do you mean to tell me you're a goody goody stuck in the big bad world?" Tala sneered.

"I am NOT a goody goody. I just don't aim to get into trouble like some people!" Eternity glared at him petulantly.

"Goody goody" Tala smirked.

"Leave me alone you bastard." She snarled. "How is Rave?"

"Doing better" Kai answered as he sat back. The four teens looked up when a shorter boy walked in. His dark purple hair and crimson eyes flashed around the room and landed on Eternity and Raven.

"Whose sisters? And since when did you three date? Let alone share" he asked as he crouched down beside Eternity.

"WE GO TO SCHOOL HERE AND I AM NOT DATING ANYBODY!!!" Eternity was definitely fed up with being asked the same question.

"You go to school here?" he cocked an eyebrow and tilted his head.

"Yes, I go to school here!" Eternity huffed.

"I see, and what's your name little one?" Ian asked as he turned her face to look at him.

"Little?!" Eternity snorted. "Look whose talking your not much taller than me!"

"I didn't ask how tall you were, I asked what your name was" the boy chuckled.

"Ian, you're a pest" Tala sighed.

"Yeah yeah, mind your own business pretty boy." Ian sneered.

"My name is Eternity Darin" she stood up and glared at Ian. "And you are the most annoying imp I have ever met"

Ian grinned, "Always a pleasure"

Eternity surveyed the room it was nice and clean. Pale beige paint covered the walls and a light blue carpet covered the floor. Four beds sat in each corner. You could tell which corner of the rather large room belonged to which guy.

Ian's corner had a bed covered in a forest green comforter. Dark green pillows sat on one side of the bed haphazardly. He had obviously slept here the night before because his bed was unmade and white sheets could be seen. He had a black dresser and it was covered in various odds and ends.

Tala's corner was neater. He had a crimson blanket and crimson pillows. He had a small white bookshelf and a wooden dresser. His dresser was covered in various hair care products. Looking at his hair she wasn't surprised.

Bryan's corner was black. He had black blankets and pillows and a black dresser. The dresser remained bare minus a few needed items. She looked at Bryan and then his corner, for some reason it fit him perfectly. He was so unlike the other two.

Kai's corner was a dark blue. He had a dark blue blanket but had black pillows. He had a mahogany dresser with a dark blue tinge. His dresser held slightly more than Bryan's but not much. She shook her head these were very strange boys.

Raven sat up almost screaming, a bead of sweat fell down her cheek. "What, What happened?" said Raven as she looked at Eternity...

"RAVEN!" shouted Eternity as she jumped at Raven and pulled her into a tight hug.

Raven's coughing fit continued, she smiled and looked at Ten. "Thanks, where, and who are you?" Raven asked as she looked at everyone staring at her, she seemed a little ungratefully.

Kai picked up the towels, her wound hadn't stopped bleeding yet, pressing firmly on her wound he saw her wince, Raven turned her head to Kai and her eyes flashed. Pulling her arm away she seemed to growl, Eternity wouldn't let go ...

"Oh thank God you had me worried Raven I thought you weren't going to wake up... I...I" began Eternity before she felt Raven pry herself away.

"You got help...." said Raven her eyes glaring at everyone in the room; she looked at Kai who now had a splatter of blood across his face.

"I... I'm Sorry Raven; I was just so worried for you" said Eternity.

Raven's vision began to blur, she began to say something, but was cut off, she felt as though she was going to throw up, she pushed Eternity off of her slightly, and she clasped her hand over her mouth, "I... I don't feel so good" Said Raven as she pushed Tala out of the way of the door and she ran down the hall.

"RAVEN!" shouted Eternity as she bolted after her friend. Raven stood still just above a stair case as she didn't feel so good, holding her head she shook it slightly as she went to run forward she ran into a large blonde boy, he had a white and green outfit on, Rave, was bounced backwards, She felt her world go away again before she even landed, The young boys name was Spencer, he was walking with a red haired boy who was called Johnny, He had caught Raven before she had fallen down the stairs.

"Thank you so much! Raven?!" Eternity looked at Spencer gratefully before looking at her friends pale face. "Oh God I can't take this." She whispered as she noticed her friends eyes were closed again.

"Spencer you can just bring her back in here." Kai ordered as he stood in the doorframe.

Eternity looked at him and knew that Raven was in good hands. She looked at the cement stairs and bolted down them. She needed air and being stuck in a room with six guys would not give her the air she needed. Especially six guys like those ones. She ran outside, it had started to rain and the cool water felt refreshing.

"Bryan, go after her. She doesn't know where she's going. Johnny you go as well" Tala ordered as he washed some bloodied towels in the sink. Bryan nodded and stood up. He didn't care what happened to the little wench but he had nothing better to do anyway.

"Why do I have to go back outside? You aren't my captain or anything and I just got back from outside. I'm soaked!" Johnny growled.

"Because you and Kai will only end up fighting come back once you have the girl" Tala answered as he rinsed the towels under hot water.

Johnny shrugged and followed Bryan down the stairs and outside into the rain. They could see Eternity trudging through puddles ahead and they quickened their pace to catch up with her.

Her white shirt clung to her body and her damp skirt hung limply around her legs. She was barefoot and she stood in a puddle about ankle deep. Her long black hair fell into her eyes and water streamed down her face. Her uniform had been soaked and she stood shivering in the puddle. Bryan looked rather sympathetic, but the look soon disappeared as he stood there, he could here Johnny in his left ear moaning away about his hair, God Bryan wanted nothing more right now for Johnny to shut up, the guy even talked in his sleep, one of these days Bryan would kill Johnny....

"Can we just grab the girl before she gets sick as well?" said Johnny as he nudged Bryan forward to go get her.

Bryan looked at Johnny with a death glare, and he walked up to Eternity, She was just standing there kicking the water gently with her bare feet. She seemed a little concerned.

"She'll be fine" said Bryan as he took her hand and pulled her toward the door, he didn't really care, if he had to throw her over his shoulder, he was getting cold.

Eternity sneered and kicked Bryan in the shin, "Let go of me!" she shouted.

Bryan looked at her and let her wrist go... "Can we at least go inside?" said Bryan.

Eternity, shivered she was cold, she just didn't want to admit it.

"No!" said Eternity and she turned ready to run in the other direction.

Bryan rolled his eyes and grabbed her by the waist, throwing her over his shoulder, he looked at Johnny.

"Get the door moron!" he said, Eternity gave up and just began sobbing as Bryan carried her away back inside.

The two boys walked upstairs while Eternity just whimpered. Bryan walked into the room and tossed Eternity onto a chair. She glared at him and brought her knees up to her chin and rocked back and forth.

"Well, what did you do to her?" Ian asked as he watched Eternity. She just sat and stared at Raven.

"I didn't do anything to her" Bryan answered as he leaned against the wall. Kai sat on the edge of the couch holding a wt cloth to Raven's wrist. It had stopped bleeding and he was cleaning it.

"Right" Ian rolled his eyes.

Eternity looked up and stared at the faces surrounding her. She studied each one closely and sighed. None of them were ones she could see herself becoming friends with anytime soon.

"Problem?" Johnny sneered as he knelt down beside her chair.

"No" Eternity looked at him and shook her head. Johnny shrugged and wrapped a warm silver blanket around her shivering shoulders. She stared at him and he walked away. She sighed and leaned her head against the back of the chair. Her eyes slowly drifted closed and she was soon asleep.

Kai watched as Eternity fell asleep and leaned his head against the couch arm. He sat silently, he had bandaged and washed Raven's arm and now he was waiting until she woke up.

Hours had past before either girl made a sound, everyone except Bryan and Kai had gone to bed, in the background you could here Johnny talking about Oliver and his lame assed cook hat.

Bryan saw that either girl wasn't going to wake up, and he was getting hungry, he grabbed his coat and walked out the door.

"Urrrgggh" Raven groaned was slowly coming to, her eyes fluttered open and she saw Kai looking at her from the floor next to the couch, His eyes sparked slightly, and it made a small smile come to Ravens lips.

"Welcome back" spoke Kai gently as he finished wrapping the last bandage around Raven Wrist.

"I...Eternity? Is she?" said Raven as she sat up quickly.

Kais hand pressed against her chest firmly easing her back down to the couch. "Calm down, she's over there she's fine just a little upset, anyway you should be worrying more about yourself then her?"

"I can't I promised her I would protect her." said Raven as she closed her eyes and rested back against the arm of the couch, she saw that Eternity was safe and she looked at Kai as he hadn't stopped cleaning her skin, she closed her eyes, and smiled as the touch of his skin was soft, warming and oddly loving, it was like he had done this before... she felt, safe.
