Chapter 1: The Pros and Cons of Betting

A big group of girls huddle up and just stare as a tall white haired man pass then by. Whispers fill the big dome like area all around him.

"I know who that is!!"one of the girls loudly announced, "It's Eyes Rutherford!"

After that basically all hell broke loose. Every one was either screaming or whispering things like, 'Oh my gosh!" or " It's Eyes!". These types of things echoed through out the airport. It was like one of his countless concerts before, but with out all of the security working the scene to keep the musical genius from being mobbed by his so called "fans". But this time things were different, this time he was here to pick up a couple of old acquaintances.

Eyes continued to walk towards the gate that was broadcasted to be open soon. But when he got there it hadn't yet been opened so he decided to just kick back and wait it out. After a couple of minutes the ever so patent Eyes grew very impatient.

"At this time flight 700 from L.A. to Tokyo will be exiting from gate 10." said the lady in her usual monotone computer voice, as the two doors slowly opened up. Eyes sifted through the hoard of people that began to pour out of the small door way to see he could see the two he was looking for.

"Hey sister look!" a young girl said while pointing at him.

"Well... for what do we deserve this great honor to be in the presents of the great Eyes Rutherford?" this girl bows as her younger sister just laughs.

"Very funny you two. No lets go." The two girls laughed while following him out of the airport.

"Ayumu!!!Wait up!!" whined a very hyped up Hiyono, as she ran to catch up with the brown haired boy in front of her. "Hey, um ...Ayumu...did you happen to make ...two of your wonderful box lunches today?" Hiyono's eyes looked up at him with that half sad half excited look on her face. He knew that the look she had on meant that if he said no then she would whine about it and end up stealing his lunch anyways, and if he said yes then she would just go on and on about how good it was. But by now he had learned that hearing her pointless rambling was way better than him starving to death during lunch. And anyway Ayumu knew how to tune her out so it wasn't that bad.

"Yea,yea ... I made yours." he pulled a box wrapped in a blue handkerchief out from his bag and put it in front of her face as she grabbed it and held it close.

"YAY!!!!!!!!" she cheered happily, "I can just taste your yummy rice balls,...oh and that fluffy, heavenly omelet that you always make, oh...and" was all that Ayumu had heard, because at this point he was just plane out ignoring her. He kept up this facade until they reached the gate of the school.

As soon as they got there they were spotted by one of Hiyono's friends. She came running towards them, and she looked excited."Hiyono!!!Did you hear the news? There are two new transfer students! I think that they're sisters." her friend waited for her reaction but to her surprise got none. Hiyono was to busy writing all of this down in her little book of information. Both Ayumu and her friend just stared at her and sweat dropped at her little of burst of weirdness.

"What?!?!" she said sort of offended, "A reporter needs to know these things!"

As Hiyono's friend walked away she whispered to Ayumu as soft as she could so that no one else could hear her. "I'll bet that these two new girls are Blade Children."

Ayumu was sort of taken back by her observed idea. But though about it for a second and figured it to be a most unlikely probability. But as he continued to think it out for a couple of seconds and figured that he could use this to his advantage to get her to leave him alone. "Ok... Well let's make a bet then.", he began. "I'll bet on them being normal girls and if I win then I won't have to make AND you can't steal my lunches either."

"But what happens if I win?"

"Well if you win... then well I'll make you box lunches until we end school." Ayumu wasn't sure if what he said was all that great because that would mean every single day making two lunches. It would be torture to him but he had to say something that would spark her interest. If he didn't then he wouldn't have the slimmest chance in hell of getting her to leave him alone. He made sure to explain this whole deal throughly so that she couldn't find a loop hole in it to avoid the consequences of it.

Hiyono huffed and thought a while . Inside of these types of situations she usually would always follow her gut feeling,. Her gut was telling her to take the offer but then her head was telling her to think it over, and at this point she didn't know what to do. "Fine!" she said while shutting her eyes, feeling a hint of regret. But she quickly brushed off that feeling and began to walk away. "I will prove it!!" she yelled back, "I know it's true!" and with that Ayumu was left alone, for the first time in a long time peace and quiet surrounded him.

As lunch rolled around the corner Hiyono was beginning to get more and more nervous. Because it was almost half of the day and all that she knew about the new transfer students was that they were sisters. She hadn't even been able to talk to them directly because of all of the other students at the academy. Because at the school new students were crowded around until they either got sick of it and went into seclusion, or found what click that they fit into. It was almost impossible to get into the cloud and get a word in with them. And she should know because she had tried many times. Without consciously knowing it she walked up the stair case and to the roof.

"What are you doing here?!" called a voice from above her. She looked above the door and saw the one and only red head in the school with green glasses.

"Oh... it's you ...I'm just trying to figure out if the new transfer students... are..." as her words trailed off she began to think.

Kosuke jumped off of the ledge above the door and then spoke up again. "Your finding out if the new kids are ...what Hiyomi?"

"My names HIYONO! HI...YO...No!" she paused only to realize that she was yelling at someone that could tell her straight up if the new girls were what she had suspected them to be. But before she even had a chance to say anything the rooftop door swung open to reveal the very people that she wanted to talk to. She was so excited that she didn't care that she had just almost got hit in the face by the door. Instead she hopped out from behind the door and prepared to interview the two.

"Um.. Kosuke? Who IS this?" the older one asked.

"Yea! What happened to Ryouko? Are you cheating on her you bastard!" the younger one gave Kosuke a death glare, as she pushed him into a corner.

"NO!!!! This is a friend of little Narumi!" Kosuke answered quickly in order not to agitate the girl even more. Because he knew as well as the rest of the group that no matter how good of an assassin he was, he would never be able to defeat those two. They looked as normal as could be but unknown to everyone else they were ingenious with bombs and other explosive or electronic devises, as well as other little trinkets. "Rio, and Ryouko should be here soon with him."

And sure enough, true to Kosuke's word they had arrived, in less than a minute the doors swung open to uncover the three.

"What's going on here?" Hiyono asked, sort of confused. Everyone was meeting and obviously there was a reason. But no one would say anything, all Kosuke said when she asked him the first time was "just wait and see". How could she "just wait"!?!?!?!?! She had already laid so much on the line, if she didn't find out what these two girls were and soon she would never again be able to taste Ayumu's wonderful cooking again. She began to get sad just at the thought.

One of the girls were the first to speak.. "So ... this is him? Kiyotaka's younger brother?"

Ayumu cringed at the words. He hated being in his brother's shadow enough as is, and a complete stranger calls him that? But deep down inside he knew that it was perfectly meaningless to try and stop it, because everyone already knew him as 'Kiyotaka's brother' or ' Little Narumi'. After a while he started not to care if the blade children called him that because no matter how many time he corrected them they did it anyway. But again this was a complete stranger. And he had a name, that unfourtunetly for him everyone neglected to call him by.

Sensing his discomfort, the younger sister decided to apologize on her sisters behalf. "Um... I'm sorry about that, my sister ...is ...well ...sort of to the point. You're Ayumu Narumi correct? My name is Kiyoko, Kiyoko Sakuma. And this here is my older sister Mimiru." she said as she did her little bow.

Ayumu raised his right eyebrow, still a litte unsure of what their 'real' reason was to meeting him. He stood there for a while, desperately trying to figure it out. Until that is he saw what looked like cat like slits in Kiyoko's eyes. He did a double take to make sure that he wasn't mistaken on his little assumption. His eyes widened with a mix look of disbelief and shock clearly apparent on his face. "Your...your..."

"So... you've finally figured it out, little Narumi" Mimiru smirked.

Hiyono looked around cautiously, "figured what out?"

Kiyoko removed her eyes from the ground to face the two. "That we... are blade children."Her voice darkened and faded out as the darkness reveiled her cat like eyes.

Kiyoko: Hehe! And there's the first chapter!hope you all liked it!
