Welcome to my fanfiction! I hope you like it! I decided not to continue my other DOA fanfic, All in Friendship and Love, and work on this one. I hope it's worth it. My OC's are going to be in here. They are: Kanae Umino, Kai Munora, Crystal Lake, Phoebe Brooks, and Roxy Sanders. Look at their profiles on my profile if you want. I came up with this story since I first played Dead or Alive.

Pairings are: Hitomi x Hayate, Eliot x Ayane, Kasumi x Ryu, Leifang x Jann Lee, and Kanae x Kai. There could be more.

Let's go on with Chapter 1!

*Warning/Note: May have language involved and violence. NO FLAMES! This will take place AFTER the 4th DOA tournament.*

Lake Academy was opened up and ready for business! All the students arrived. The workers were already in the building, getting ready for their jobs. Lisa Hamilton was in charge of science, Helena Douglass took care of history, Christie Allen decides to work in English, Bayman Johnson was a Phys. Ed. teacher along with Tina Armstrong, and Zack Jones worked for music class. Leon Armid and Bass Armstrong had to run a class both of them disagreed to work in, but will be paid handsomely for. It was being the people who make lunch. Both are horrible cooks, but with their boss's help, they can cook perfectly now. Brad Wong worked as a janitor.

There were a few students who were excited about the school. One of them was Hitomi Buchfink. She was actually looking forward to the school. She urged her parents to make her go to the school. After days of persuasion, her parents finally decided to make her go to Lake Academy. Now, she was all excited to go inside the school. Another person was Kasumi. She thought attending the school should calm her nerves about being hunted down and being assassinated. Maybe "they" won't know that she's here. She could be safe from the world perhaps!

Then, there were students who didn't really want to go to school. One was Ayane and her half-brother Hayate. They were very reluctant to leave their village without their leader and sidekick. Their mother Ayame suggested that they should calm down and go to school. Their father Shiden disagreed with his wife. Without the leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan, what would they do? However, Ayame won him over, so they both had to go to school. They didn't want to be mad at their mother because of the decision. They just wondered if making that decision was bad. Another is Eliot Williams. He had only lived with his master Gen Fu currently. He hadn't attend school like he was supposed to be. Gen Fu suggests him to attend Lake Academy especially. Eliot didn't want to go, but he did it anyway, just for the sake of his master. He also got his master's grand-daughter, Mei-Ling, with him to the school.

The person who ran the building, a woman by the name Crystal Lake, was watching the cameras hidden in the entrance. She has been waiting for the moment to come. Now, it's time.

"Omigosh! I'm so excited!" cheered Hitomi. She was wearing the Lake Academy female school uniform along with the other girls: A navy-blue dress jacket with a white top underneath, a black skirt that reached above the knee, long black socks, and loafers. "I can't wait any longer!"

"This is it," Kasumi said after taking a deep breath. "This is where I'll be." She smiled.

"God, I HOPE this is worth it!" Ayane grumbled.

"Calm down, Ayane," Hayate said. "It'll only be a short while." The purple-haired kunoichi sighed.

"At least I'll train in the dorms," Eliot said to himself.

"Onii-san! I hope we can share the same room!" squeaked Mei-Ling. Eliot patted the sweet little girl on the head.

It was time for Crystal to make an appearance. She got out from her chair and stepped outside of the school, where all the students waited. They all turned quiet when she appeared. The woman flashed a smile to everyone and announced, "Welcome! I am Crystal Lake, the principal of this school! Me and the workers are glad you all came today! We aim to lead you all to a very successful and fun year here in Lake Academy! We hope you have a splendid first day in Lake Academy!" She then grabbed a pair of large scissors and cut the ribbon that blocked the students into coming in. She got out of the way as the students stampeded into the school. She hadn't gotten the time to check the students. She sighed and was going back into the school, until she saw a car pull up. A man in the Lake Academy male uniform came out of it. Crystal rolled her eyes and said, "You're late, Ryu."

The man looked at her and said, "I'm sorry."

She smiled. "It's okay. Just hurry before classes begin!" Ryu nodded as he left in a flash. When he was gone out of sight though, she smiled in an evil manner. I got Ryu Hayabusa! she thought. The power should become stronger once I have it!

Kasumi happily went to her new locker and tried out the combination. Unfortunately, she had no clue how to actually do that. She looked around for help. Hitomi actually was next to her. She did her combination by twisting and turning it and opened her locker with ease. Kasumi swallowed and asked, "Can you help me with this?" She was a little embarrassed asking that. Hitomi looked at Kasumi and answered, "Sure!" She put her fingers on the combination and asked, "What's your combination numbers?"

"Oh! Uhm..." Kasumi looked at the paper she was holding. She scanned it until she saw 3 numbers. She pointed at them and said, "I think these are it." Hitomi looked at the paper and nodded. She did the combination in a breeze and opened Kasumi's locker for her. "Tadaaa!" the karate girl cheered. Kasumi smiled and thanked her. As she unzipped her bag to put some stuff in, she suddenly heard a familiar voice saying, "No. Way." She knew who that voice belonged to. She turned and saw her half-sister, Ayane, in shock. She was in shock as well. Just what was she doing here?!

"You traitor!" she yelled quietly. "What are you doing here? Hiding?" Kasumi didn't answer.

"Ayane?" Hitomi said as she looked at the violet-haired kunoichi. She smiled. "It's been a while!"

Ayane glanced at the dirty-blonde girl. "Hitomi? Well, get out of here, this'll get ugly."

Hitomi almost frowned and said, "I know you and your sister aren't in good terms, but you can't fight now. Class begins in a few minutes and it's also against the school rules." The violet kunoichi sighed, shot a death glance at her sister, and whispered something Hitomi couldn't hear. She then left. Hitomi saw the pain in the poor runaway kunoichi's eyes. She put a hand on her shoulder and flashed a friendly smile to her.

"Don't worry about her," she said. "She doesn't like me that much either."

"But still..." Kasumi said.

"Let's just go to class, 'kay?" Kasumi nodded and worked on her locker. She looked at the paper she had. Her first class was "Science". What to get for science... Kasumi thought to herself.

...

Meanwhile, Ayane was absolutely furious seeing the sight of her sister. She wanted her sister's head on a stick. She thinks she can get away from us, the violet kunoichi thought. Well, she thought wro- Her thoughts were interrupted when she bumped into somebody. Supplies were dropped on the floor.

"Hey!" yelled Ayane. "Watch where you're going, you-" She stopped her sentence as she realized who she bumped into.

"Sor-ry!" shouted the guy she has known as he was picking up his supplies. "I was just passing by..." He trailed off as he looked up at Ayane. Both of their eyes were widened.

"Eliot?" said Ayane.

"Ayane?" said Eliot. "Is that you?"

"Onii-san?" asked a cute little girl's voice. "Are you okay?" A little girl came by his side. Ayane had no clue who she is. Probably his little sister?

Eliot picked up all of his supplies and stood up. "I'm fine," he replied.

"Who is she?" The girl pointed at Ayane.

"Oh, uh..."

"We just know each other," Ayane backed up Eliot.

"Yeah, we just know each other, Mei-Ling."

"Oh. Okay! I thought you two were dating." The two blushed.

"What?! Where did that came from?"

"W-we just know each other!"

"If you say so." Mei-Ling tugged Eliot's hand. "We need to go to class, Onii-san!"

"Right," he said as the two went away. Ayane stopped blushing. What got into that kid's mind anyway? Oh well, she is pretty young. Ayane headed to her classroom.

...

Hayate was looking for his first class, English. He suddenly sees Ryu Hayabusa in a teacher's uniform walk by. He decides to be friendly and say, "Hey Ryu!" The super ninja in disguise sees Hayate and smiles.

"What's up Hayate?" he said.

"What are you doing here?" the Ninja of the Wind asked.

"I'm actually here on a mission."

"A mission?"

"Yes, a mission. I heard there is a woman here who tries to be innocent, but does that to hide her true self. I was hired to assassinate her."

"Who is she?"

"I'm guessing it's Crystal Lake."

"The principal?"

"I don't know for sure yet, but she is acting innocent. I'll get to the bottom of this once I have time."

"Okay, I'll go warn Ayane."

"That'll be fine. For now, just act normal." Hayate nodded as he walked away. He was getting curious. Could Ryu be correct about Crystal or could he be off and it was some other woman here?

...

Another student, Leifang, was getting her supplies for History class. She was glad she came to Lake Academy. She thought it was better than the college she used to go to. This is going to be the best first day ever! she thought in excitement. As she got all her supplies and closed her locker, she turned and saw a familiar-looking man. She knew him! She can recognize him from anywhere! She slowly tiptoed to him. She remained as silent as possible. Although in the last tournament where she beat him in a battle, she still wants to meet him.

"Go away," he said to her. Leifang sighed.

"What class are you going to, Jann Lee?" she asked.

"I said go away," Jann Lee said again.

Leifang rolled her eyes. "Are you going to History? 'Cause I am." Jann Lee didn't answer, which bugged the Chinese girl a lot.

"Hello? Are you in there?!" she yelled at him. "I'm asking you a question!"

He turned and glared daggers at her. "Yes, I am going to History. Now would you please get the hell away from me?" He sounded like he was annoyed.

"We can go together!" Leifang suggested. "Please, Jann Lee? I don't want to go all alone!"

Jann Lee sighed. "Fiiiiiine! Anything to shut you up." The two went to class together.

In her secret office, Crystal was looking what the cameras around the school are taping. Classes started. She recognized the fighters from the 4th Dead or Alive tournament as the students. A certain kunoichi caught her eye. It was Kasumi, the runaway ninja! She must have some power in her! In another camera, she saw Ayane, the violet kunoichi of the Hajimon sect of the Mugen Tenshin clan! In another, Hayate, the 18th leader of the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan! All of them plus Ryu's power will make her invincible! She hit the jackpot! She didn't care how or why they get here, she just wants their power!

"Now, I'll have even the strongest ninja clans like the Mugen Tenshin and the Hayabusa clan bowing down to me thanks to their power!" she gleefully said to herself. She laughed, thinking about how she's going to rule the world with her invincibility.

That's the end of Chapter 1. What did you think? No hate or flames, but constructive criticism is fine. I wrote the whole thing out a couple of years a go anyway.

You can R&R and follow and favorite! I really want the support I need! :D You can tell me if there's a typo or anything or ask me a question about this.

See you all later! :D
