Chapter 1
She raised her head up off the desk in a flash. Where am I? She looked around her. There were other desks that were full of guys. Wait guys? Schools have girls and guys unless-! She looked down at herself and realized she still had her girl parts. Ok calm down. What was the last thing that happened? I was on a school trip with the band. I was talking to this blue haired dude. Uhh... What was is name again? Oh yea! It was- At that moment a voice interrupted her. She ignored it. Now what was I going to say? Oh yes of course. His name was...was... oh! H- Once again the voice interrupter her. She looked to the front of the room at the person the voice was coming from. Hey that's!
"Now if you don't complete this new course then-"
"HINATA!" She stood up and yelled his name. He turned and looked at her with a calm yet evil look.
"Sit down and shut-up." He said in a calm and icy voice.
"B-but you." She shook her head. "What's going on? Just a few seconds ago we were on the bus then-" She got quiet all of a sudden. "Then the bus was driving up a cliff... Then... it fell...off the edge...of...the...cliff..." Her eyes got big as she realized what had happened. "Hinata! What's going on!"
At that moment she felt a great shock course threw her body. She screamed in pain. She fell back into her seat. She looked up and saw Hinata with a taser gun. She was shocked to find him at her desk when only moments before he was at the front of the class. He had a dark shadow to his face.
"H-Hinata?" She was scared. She didn't know what was going on.
"What's wrong Cassandra? Are you shocked? Haha!" He gave an evil laugh. "Well this is the truth so you better behave." Cassandra glared at Hinata. She stood up quickly and tried to punch Hinata. He dodged easily and shocked her again. She screamed and felled to the floor on her knees. Hinata smiled evilly again. He turned his back to her and looked at the rest of the class. "I'm guessing you see that you have a new "classmate". You get off from doing the course today because of her. Show her the ropes and tomorrow you'll have to work double for the time lost today." Hinata smiled and walked outside the classroom. All the students heard a click as they were locked in the classroom.
"Man why did we have to get a new kid?"
"I don't know but she better not slow us down."
"Man we should just throw her out. She's useless!"
"Well we don't know that for sure.
"Are you kidding me! She defied the Commandeer!"
"She's got to be logically stupid to do that." Cassandra listened to the guys around her talk about her.
"Well if she useless then let's use her as bait on the next course."
"Whatever. We still have to work twice has hard tomorrow."
"Yea!"
"She better pull up her weight."
"Guys-"
"Shut-up." The entire room got quiet when she spoke. She started to try to stand up. She couldn't she didn't have enough strength. Suck it up! Stand up! She tried again and succeeded to stand this time. She looked at all the guys in the room. "You're all judging me before you know what I can do, so just shut-up!" She glared at them all.
"What can you do then?" One guy stood up. He had dark brown hair. A look of challenge upon his face.
At first she didn't know how to answer it then it all came to her. "I can play the guitar. I'm a black belt in karate. I can throw a mean punch. I was once jumped by a bunch of guys in a gang and severely injured them all. I am the fastest runner in my class. I am the student body president, and I am very stubborn." She looked around the room as if challenging anyone else to ask her anything else. The guy who called her out originally smiled.
"Well guys there are yawl's answers." He walked around the other desk and walked up to her. He stuck out his hand to her. "My name is Chioukichi. Means lasting luck, which is very good if you want to last here." He winked at her. He turned around to where he was facing the rest of the class. "Come on guys lets introduce ourselves." A couple of the guys looked at each other uncertain, but several others stood up and walked over to them. Cassandra felt uncertain with them crowding around her. "Well let's start with who's closer to us." He landed a hand on the guy's next to him shoulder. The guy had pink hair and looked very nice. "This is Akio." He bowed.
"Hi! Nice to meet you. It's nice to get a girl for once." Akio smiled at her.
Chioukichi gestured to the guy next to Akio. This one had black hair that was long. Though he had it pulled back into a pony tail two strands of hair had fallen down next to his face. The strands of hair ended at his chin. "This is Fusao. He's the oldest out of all of us." Fusao bowed.
"Nice to meet you young lady."
Next Chioukichi gestured to the guy next to Fusao. This guy had chin length dark blue hair. "This dude here is Atsuo." Atsuo smiled and grabbed Cassandra's hand. He leaned down and kissed it. He moved his eyes up to where he was looking at her face.
"Hi. My name means friendly man." He smiled. "It means I'm really friendly I hope-" He was cut off by Chioukichi hitting him on the back of the head
"Yea to friendly." Atsuo smiled and gave a little laugh. "Now back to what we were doing." Chioukichi then gestured to the two guys next to Atsuo. They both had purple hair. One had hair that was very long and was pulled up to a high pony tail. Even then the hair toughed the back of his knees. He had two strands of hair, on both sides of his face, that fell down to his waist. The other one had short purple hair. It only went past his ears. "This is Kazuya." He gestured to the guy with long purple hair. Kazuya nodded his head at her. "And this is Kei." Kei waved at her enthusiastically. He had a smile on his face that carried over to his eyes. "These two are twins. Kazuya is more peaceful than Kei. Though sometimes they act the same." The next one he gestured to had blond hair. His hair was just long enough to bush his neck lightly. He had berets that crossed over each other to form an x on a strand of hair. "This is Kuya. He's insanely nice." Kuya smiled and blushed slightly. Next Chioukichi gestured to a guy with glasses. He kept pushing them back up his nose with his index finger. He had dark brown hair with a red tint to it that fell to his chin. "This is Akira. He's the smartest guy in the whole facility. We're lucky to have him with us."
"Nice to meet you. I come up with strategies and plans for us." Hearing him say this Cassandra felt uneasy.
"As for the last guy here," Chioukichi gestured to the guy closest to Cassandra. This guy had shoulder length black hair. He had an emotionless look on his face. "His name is Souta. He doesn't talk much but you can always depend on him. He's quick on his feet and as thick as thick can come. That's why he's so emotionless. Haha." Souta in response just rolled his eyes. After Chioukichi got done laughing he looked at Cassandra. That's when she realized they were all looking at her.
"So what's your name?" Kei asked. "Come on you got to tell us your name now. Only fair."
"Oh. W-well my name is Cassandra." They all smiled at her. She felt calm for a second then questions started arise. "So what's going on? Why am I here?" The guys looked at each other unsure what to say to her. Next to her Souta sighed. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Akio.
"Souta don't say anything. You'll make it all worse." Akio looked at her. "You see, uh, remember when you were talking to the commander?"
"You mean Hinata?" Some of them flinched when she said Hinata's name.
"Uh yea him... But remember what you said to him?"
"Yes, I said that the bus fell over off the cliff we were driving up. That's the last I remember. So how did I get here?" All the guys got a slightly uneasy look on their faces.
Chioukichi placed a hand on her shoulder. "Uh well the reason why your here now is because you died. When the bus fell off the cliff you must have died." Cassandra froze. She was in a state of shock. She slowly lowered herself down in the seat behind her. She was silent for the longest.
"So why am I here and not...dead dead?"
Fusao spoke this time. "See what it is that people who die and come here usually have had a tragic past. We don't know the full reason why we're here but we just are. Some of us are able to "disappear", though, that usually happens when they start to go crazy and taken to the head leader. We never see them again if they are taken." Fusao crouched down to where he was at eye level with her. "There are some good things. No matter what we can't die. We do feel the full pain of dying, but we can't die." He smiled at her. For some reason she couldn't help but smile back at him. He stood back up. He looked at Chioukichi. "I'm going to go set up her bed now. I'm sure she'll need some rest after we tell her more information on everything that's going on here." Chioukichi nodded his head. "Kuya. Souta. Come help me." The two nodded their heads and followed Fusao. They walked to the back of the room. Fusao placed his hand flat against the wall. A door opened in the wall. The three went through it.
"Ok so what other questions do you have?" Chioukichi looked at her and smiled.
"Too many to ask. Just tell me the basic things." All the guys laughed at what she said.
"Ah what is basic here?" Akio laughed as he said this. Cassandra gave a little week laugh.
The guys were able to fill her in on everything she needed to know by tomorrow before Fusao came back. They had told her that there were a total of ten "classrooms". The "classrooms" they were held in were just rooms where they would find out what they would be doing for the day. The rooms just had the appearance of a classroom. Apparently the place they were now was a school, but after a while a group of people came and took it over. Ever since then anytime someone came they were put in a "classroom".
Then everyone preformed all kind of test. They had courses that they manly had to run and get through. Cassandra was luckily, though, the group she was put in was the best out of all of the ten. This group usually had the "pleasure" of trying out any new course that the head leaders had come up with. Sometimes they would get training time. Where they had to perform test, so that the higher ups could get info on each groups abilities.
They also told her that depending on how good the group was at doing the things the higher ups asked for they would get points. At the end of each month, which ever group had the highest points would get good food. Not just small little things but a full blown meal. A meal that you would usually have on Thanksgiving Day or even Christmas. It was always worth fighting for.
"Ok So I'm starting to understand this all." Cassandra said after she was told all of this. At that moment Fusao came back in. They all turned and looked at him. Chioukichi stood up from where he was sitting. At some point while they were explaining stuff to her all the guys sat down. He looked at Cassandra and offered a hand to help her get up. She took it and stood up. Chioukichi looked at Fusao.
"Lead the way my good man!" Fusao nodded his head and went back through the door. They all followed him. Cassandra was shocked to see the room so clean. The beds were made so neatly. There were trunks in front of each bed. There wasn't even anything on the floor. Kei saw the look Cassandra had on her face.
"Haha, shocked to see it so clean? We have to. If the commander sees that it's dirty then we don't get to eat for a week." Kei walked pass he. He flopped down on one of the beds. Cassandra just smiled and continued to follow Fusao and Chioukichi. All three of them walked to the very back.
At the back of the room one bed was surrounded by a curtain. You couldn't see anything on the other side of the curtain. Cassandra could guess that that was where she was going to be sleeping. Fusao pulled back the curtain and revealed a bed covered in a white quilt. On the bed were some clothes.
"Ahh I see you guys were able to get her clothes too. Good job." Chioukichi patted Fusao on the back. Cassandra picked up the shirt that was laid on her bed. It looked like a regular school uniform. She looked down at herself. It was a different uniform then what she was wearing. She shook her head. She turned around and faced the two guys.
"So where do I change my clothes?" At that moment all the guys froze and stopped what they were doing. They all looked at her then at each other then back at her. "Uhh hello?" She looked at Fusao and Chioukichi. They both looked away with a pink tint to their faces.
"Uhh we don't really have a changing room." At that moment Cassandra got what he meant. He meant that they all changed right in front of each other.
"EHHHHH!" Her face got red quickly. She was about to have a small little freak out when Kuya spoke up.
"Wait a second. Look at the curtain you have surrounding your bed. No one can see into it, and no one can see out of it. In all of the other groups there are usually girls. They use this type of curtain to divide the room from the guys and girls." Cassandra looked at Kuya with gratitude.
"Thank you so much! I owe you one." She looked around. "Is there a shower/bath?" Kuya nodded his head.
"There is one. It's that way." He pointed past Cassandra's bed to the end of the hallway. "In order to save time we take a bath two at a time. But you can take one by yourself. We take turns and only take a bath every four days. You ok with that?" Cassandra nodded her head. "Ok well we all took one yester day so in two days you'll be able to take one."
"Thank you so much Kuya!" Cassandra was ever so thankful.
"Yea thanks Kuya you thought of just about everything." Chioukichi seemed really impressed by Kuya. "Well we all as well need to get ready to sleep. We'll need all the energy we can get for tomorrow." He turned round and faced all the guys. He opened his mouth to say something , but was cut off by Fusao.
"If any of you peek in on her or try to do something to her you'll have to face me." From the way he said that Cassandra felt a shiver run down her back. Fusao turned and looked at her. "Don't worry they know better than to defy me." He walked away over to his bed. It was at the front of the room. Chioukichi sighed but he had a smile on his face.
"Well that's it. If you have any questions ask Kuya. His bed is closest to yours and apparently he knows more about what to do than I do." He looked at Cassandra. "It's all going to be ok so don't worry about anything. Well get some sleep." He walked away. Cassandra watched him walk over to his bed which was across from Fusao's bed.
"So I guess I'll leave you to get changed. You night clothes are in the trunk. Your day clothes go in there when you change." Kuya walked over to his bed which was next to hers. "If you need anything my beds right here." Cassandra nodded her head. "Well get a good night sleep!" With that Cassandra closed the curtain and got ready for the night.
Cassandra was woken up to someone shaking her. She rolled over to see Kuya. When she looked at him he had a look of relief. He let out a breath that sounded like he had held in for a long while.
"Good, you're ok." Cassandra looked at him funny.
" Are you ok? Is everything alright?" Cassandra sat up a little. She began to get worried. Kuya got a sad look to his face.
"I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that you had somehow died in your sleep, and wouldn't come back to life like what usually happens." Cassandra could see Kuya shake ever so slightly. He gave a week laugh. "I guess I worried over nothing huh? Well sorry for waking you up." He went to leave but Cassandra grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"There's something else right? You can tell me." Kuya gave her a gentle smile.
"There is something else, but that's a secret. A secret that only a few know about." He looked out of the open curtain. He started to bite his bottom lip.
"Look if your still scare then why not sleep with me." When Cassandra said this Kuyo's face got beat red.
"N-n-no! I c-c-c-couldn't d-do that!"
"I had a younger brother and sister. I miss them deeply. They use to sleep with me. You would help me get use to this place with you slept with me." Cassandra got an extremely sad look to her face.
Kuya felt bad for her. It was always hard for everyone new to this place. He had had a hard time too. Luckily Souta had been nice to him and helped him get use to this place. Ever since then he always wanted to help the new people get use it this place easily.
"O-ok. " Cassandra smiled as she pulled back the covers for Kuya to crawl in bed with her. She would always use this trick on her younger brother. He would always come and wake her up in the middle of the night and tell her he had a nightmare. Then when she offered to let him sleep with her he would say he was a big boy. But Cassandra knew he really did want to sleep with her because he was scared. She would tell him that she need him to sleep with her, so she wouldn't be afraid or scared. He would always fall for that trick.
"Oh I just thought of something." Cassandra said after Kuya crawled into the bed. "Won't Fusao get mad at you if he finds you sleeping with me?" Kuya smiled.
"Don't worry he won't get mad. He knows I would never do anything to you. Even if you asked me too. Well night." As Kuya turned to where his back was facing her, Cassandra began to wonder what he meant by that.
Once again Cassandra was woken up to someone shaking her. She began to wonder why they couldn't just let her sleep. She shook her shoulder free from whoever's grasp and curled up into a tight ball.
"Get up Cassandra! If were late for roll call then we'll all be in serious trouble." Cassandra flew her eyes open . She turned her head to see Chioukichi looking at her. "Come on you have ten minutes." Chioukichi left her so she could change.
She changed into her school uniform quickly and ran to the front of the room. Everyone one was waiting for her. When Chioukichi saw her he opened the door. As he did so Cassandra glanced at Kuya. He saw her glance and smiled at her. They all filed into the classroom. They all took their seats in record time. Cassandra took the seat that she was in the day before. A few seconds later, after they all sat down, the doors opened up. Hinata stepped threw them. Cassandra glared at him. She was instantly filled with rage. She was so mad that she stood up. When she stood up a plan popped in her head.
She quickly walked over to Hinata. Hinata just stood in the same spot with a smug look on his face. She grabbed him by his shirt sleeve and started to drag him out of the classroom. When she got to the door she heard someone's chair scrap the floor as they stood up.
"Cassandra! Stop! What are you doing?" Cassandra glanced behind her to see Chioukichi standing. She flashed him a small smile before she disappeared behind the door she closed.
"What's going on!" Cassandra couldn't keep her anger toward Hinata contained. Hinata just smiled at her.
"Did your 'classmates' not explain anything to you?" Cassandra glared at Hinata.
"Oh they explained a lot to me. They explained that I was dead. But there was one thing that confuses me. If your here then you died the same time as me. How did you get to be a commander so quickly?" The guys told Cassandra that Commanders were pick only after a wile of someone being there. A dark shadow fell across Hinata's face.
"Heh. You see we recently developed a program that allows us to go to the world of the living. Not only that but we keep the memories of when we were here. The program also teleports us to the next person that will join us, so we may be able to decided which 'classroom' they belong in" Hinata gave a dark laugh. "So you see I was chosen to go see our newest 'recruit', you could say. Which was you. After meeting you and talking to you I knew you would best fit this 'classroom'." Cassandra stared at him in shock.
"Then when did you come back here?" Hinata just smiled at her.
"Remember when I went to the bathroom? That's when I left. I knew you were going to die soon so I had to hurry back to make preparations for you."
"How did you know I would die soon?"
"You see I had a watch on when I was in the world of the living. The watch had a timer on it. When the time was up that meant you would be dead by then. When it got down to ten minutes of your life I knew I had to go."
"Why you!" Cassandra could feel tears from in her eyes. She grabbed Hinata's shirt collar. She pulled her arm back ready to punch him. When she went to do so, though, someone stopped her by grabbing her arm. She turned her head to see a big black man. He had a stern look to his face. He threw her to the ground. Cassandra looked up at the man from the floor. She was about to attack the man until she locked eyes with him. She was frozen in pure terror. The look in his eyes could have killed even the devil.
"You will not attack a higher up." Cassandra felt a shiver run down her spine when he spoke. His voice was so cold that ice sickles were formed on the air that was around him. "The man looked at Hinata. "I suggest you teach her the rules." Hinata bowed.
"I'm sorry sir. She is the new recruit." The man looked at Cassandra with a dark evil smile.
"Oh really. So this is the one that everyone's been talking about. The one that's supposed to perform better than all the others. I can't wait to see how well she does." The smile disappeared. "Just make sure she learns the rules then." He turned and started to walk away.
"Yes sir." Hinata bowed again. He looked at Cassandra and saw her in her frozen state. He chuckled. "That's the General. He the leader of this whole place. Best be on your best behavior if you don't want to fight him." Hinata walked over and grabbed Cassandra by the shoulder and jerked up. He dragged her to the classroom, opened the door, and threw her in. A pain shot threw her when she hit the floor.
She felt some ones hands on her to see if she was ok. She opened her eyes a crack to see who it was. It was Kazuya. He had a look of panic on his face. After a second Cassandra saw several other faces surround her. She felt happy that they cared for her.
"Hmm... I see you already bonded with her." Hinata was silent for a moment before he went on. Well make sure you arrive to the new course on time. Remember nine o'clock sharp." She turned on his heel and left the room. Cassandra saw all the guys glare at him as he shut the door.
"Are you ok?" Cassandra looked up at Kazuya. She nodded her head. "Your eyes are red. He made you cry. That heartless bastard." Kazuya closed his eyes as if he was in pain. "That's the worst thing to do to a young lady. He has disgraced his honor."
"Bro, though sometimes I think you take this honor thing too far, this time I have to agree with you." Kei put a hand on his brother's shoulder and scowled at the door.
"Staring at the door won't do anything." Souta spoke with a calm voice. "We need to leave now in order to reach the new course in time." Souta walked to the door. He turned back and looked at everyone. "We'll get back at them during the course." A devilish smile crawled its way onto Souta's face. He walked out of the room. Cassandra could see smiles start to appear on everyone's faces around her. Cassandra started to become confuse.
The guys helped her up and they all walked down to the new course. None of them would answer any questions she had. after a while she gave up and stayed silent. When they reached the new course Cassandra felt yet another shiver run down her back. The course was located in a huge gray building. They had to go down several flights of stairs to get to the room where the course actually was. They all had to line up shoulder to shoulder. After a few seconds a group of people lined up behind them. They all wore military uniforms. After a while a bell went off. When the bell went off Cassandra felt a great shocking pain come from her back. She quickly realized that they all had been shocked. After the shocking stopped everyone else took off running. Cassandra, on the other hand, did a round house kick to the face of the guy who shocked her. After she saw him hit the ground did she take off running.
She ran down the hall facing all kinds of obstacles. Axes, man eating fish, hammers, razor sharp blades, and many more obstacles. Several times she felt like giving up, but she forced herself to continue. As she ran the course she could hear some laughter in front of her. She assumed it was the guys. Why are ya'll laughing!
Finally after what seemed like forever Cassandra reached the end. She fell to her knees in exhaustion. She felt a hand land on her shoulder. She looked up to see the guys around her smiling. She hadn't realized that they were there.
"You made it!" Kuya walked over to her. He sat down on the floor in front of her. "Wasn't that fun! It was so easy too!" Kuya gave a hearty laugh. Cassandra started to wonder what they were doing.
"It was way too easy!" Cassandra looked up to see Akio with his hand on her shoulder. He was grinning from ear to ear. "Why I don't think the higher ups put thought into this new course." All the guys laughed in agreement. Chioukichi walked up to her. He offered a hand and pulled her up off the ground. He pulled her really hard though. She was about to fly past him when he whispered something in her ear.
"Go along with it." Cassandra for some reason trusted him and did go along with it.
"Is this what you guys do every day? That's nothing compared to what I did when I was living." Cassandra laughed. The guys laughed with her. At that moment a door opened and a man in a suit walked in.
"You all aren't supposed to be having fun! Go back to your classroom and no food!" All the guys laughed and walked away almost cheerfully. Cassandra followed them.
They returned back to the room where they slept laughing at nothing. Everyone walked to their bed and flopped down on it laughing. They all were silent for a moment to catch their breath. At that moment Cassandra's stomach growled. All the guys looked at her and started laughing again. Cassandra covered her stomach and laughed with them. After a while Kei stopped laughed and pulled out a box from under his bed. The box was full of chips. Cassandra looked at him with a weird look. Kei saw the look and smiled at her. He laid the box on his bed.
"Any time we go to eat I always sneak a bag of chips back here. I'm the sneakiest person here." Kei answered Cassandra's unasked question. Kei took a bag of chips and started to pass the box around. As it was passed around Cassandra thought it would be a good time to ask some questions.
"So what was up with that joking around thing? I don't know about you guys but that was pretty hard core." Chioukichi took a bag of chips and opened it.
"It was pay back to them." He took a hand full of chips and shoved it into his mouth.
"For what?"
"Mhm mhakh yohu-"
"Could you be any more disgraceful Chioukichi?" Kazuya said cutting him off. Kazuya looked at Cassandra. "I'm guessing he was trying to say for making you cry." Chioukichi nodded his head.
"I don't get what one has to do with the other."
"Simple. The higher ups want us to be miserable. If we have fun doing stuff that they come up with then it'll make them mad." Akio answered her this time. "Ahhh! You have my fav.!" He gave a slight squeal as he pulled out a bag of chips.
"I still don't see how Hinata making me cry has to do with anything that involves making the higher ups mad."
"Several of us believe in the same things. One thing we all believe is that you should never make a women cry." Souta was quiet for a second as he dug for a bag of chips he liked. "The commander made you cry. So to get back at them we had fun no matter how hard it was to put a fake smile on our faces. Cassandra was silent. She didn't know what to say.
"Why did ya'll do that for me?"
"It wouldn't have matter who you were. The rule is never make a girl cry."
"Wow nice way to put that Souta." Akio laughed. He looked at Cassandra. "All in all, we've got your back."
"That's the truth."
"The only logic answer"
"Preach it brother." Cassandra laughed when Kei threw his pillow at Chioukichi when he said this.
"It's only honorable to do so."
"Of course I would have your back even more if you let me become closer to you." Atsuo was buried under a pile of pillows. Cassandra laughed at the muffle noise that came from under the pillows.
"If you ignore Atsuo and Chioukichi then you'll be able to tell that we're all here for you." Fusao smiled at her. Cassandra grinned back at him.
"Thanks you guys! I've also got you guy's back too." When Cassandra got the box, she grabbed a bag of chips and dug into it. She had felt so happy right then and there. For the rest of the time all of them told jokes and had fun.
Cassandra woke up the next morning to someone yelling her name. She shoot up quickly in her bed. She looked around franticly to see if anything was wrong. At that moment she saw Chioukichi.
"What's wrong!" Cassandra jumped out of her bed. A look of panic on her face. Chioukichi turned around to where is back was facing her. His shoulders were shaking. "Chioukichi! Are you crying? What is wrong!" Cassandra grabbed his shoulders and turned him around to where he faced him. That's when she realized he was laughing.
"I'm sorry that was mean. I know that. But I couldn't help it because you looked so peaceful." Chioukichi let out a loud laugh. His laughing was cut off by Cassandra punching him in the stomach. The punch had so much force to it that he fell to the floor with a loud thud.
Cassandra stood over him breathing heavily as if holding back her anger. Cassandra took in a deep breath and stood up straight. At that moment she looked around the room. All the guys were froze. Some just waking up. Others busy changing their clothes. Cassandra blushed ever so slightly when she saw several of their chests. They all stared at Chioukichi on the ground. Chioukichi rolled over on his side and curled up into a tight ball holding his stomach. He started to let out slight moans. Cassandra looked back at all the guys. She saw Kei open his mouth.
"Dannnnnggggg." He drugged out the word as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. Kei looked at his twin brother. They both nodded to each other. Cassandra saw all the guys slowly look at her.
"He got what he deserved. He made me think that something was wrong." Kuya slowly got out of his bed and walked over to Chioukichi.
"Are you ok?" Kuya placed a hand on Chioukichi's side. Chioukichi couldn't say anything so he just removed one hand from around his stomach, and gave a thumbs up. Kuya let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Cassandra.
"Ok so I may have hit him harder than I intended to but still!" Right then Kei let out a whistle that sounded like he was happy.
"Man girl. That's got to be the hardest punch I've seen anyone throw at Chioukichi." Kei paused for a moment to finish putting on his shirt. "I can't wait to see what kind of results you'll produce today."
"I me too." Cassandra looked down at Chioukichi when he spoke. He slowly sat up with help from Kuya. "Nice punch by the way, and now I know what not to do." He gave a week little laugh. He looked up at Cassandra. "Hope you can knock the socks off the higher ups today during the test."
"Uh what test?" Cassandra was confused for a moment.
"The test that the higher ups use to see what our abilities are, and how far they can go." Akira informed Cassandra putting his glasses on. "We told you about it remember." Cassandra thought for a moment.
"Oh yea now I remember."
"We were supposed to do it yesterday, but you can and threw us off. Now we're doing it today." Souta said pulling off his shirt. "After seeing that punch I don't think I'll be able to do any of my tests. I'll be watching you the whole time to see how you perform."
"Same here!" Kuya quickly stood up. "This is going to be exciting!" He punched the air.
"Wow guys way to forget about me, "Chioukichi whined. An empty bag of chips was thrown at his head.
"It's not all about you." Chioukichi turned around and frowned at Kei.
"Just throw stuff at a cripple."
"Like you can be a cripple in this world. It's enological." Cassandra giggled at Akira's response to Chioukichi.
"Oi! Get dress you idiots! We do have to be there in an hour." Fusao yelled at everyone. Cassandra could almost see the irritated mark on his face.
"Hai!" They all said at the same time. Cassandra smiled and closed the curtain so she could change.
Cassandra was amazed by how big the testing room was. It looked like a big lab. The walls were a plain white. The floor had white tiles. There were some rooms along the wall that that had big huge glass windows so people could see what was going on in the room. A couple of people were in the little rooms, but several people were in the main room.
Cassandra was amazed by how much was in the room. There were weight lifting machines, bench presses, tread mills, and so many other things. She smiled as she saw several people working out. For some reason she just felt happy at seeing people other and the people in her group and the higher ups.
Next to her she say Kei take a deep breath. "AHHH! This is what I live for."
"To be tested on and worked to the bone?" Kei glared at Chioukichi when he said that.
"No, but to be able to work out."
"Did you always do it when you were alive?" Kei smiled at Cassandra.
"That was the only pleasure I got in life was exercising." Kei walked away from her over to his brother. That's when Cassandra realized something. She didn't know anything about the guys she was staying with. That's not right. Hmm. Well I guess I'll have to change that very soon!
At that moment a man in a uniform walked up to the group. He had a clip board. Several papers were flipped back.
"Group 10!" Everyone lined up when he yelled that. The man looked at them then back at the clip bored. "Numbers 12 and 22 you're in track running!" Fusao and Souta walked over to the treadmills. "Numbers 14, 20, and 27 you're in testing room A." Chioukichi waved good-bye to Cassandra and followed Akio and Akira. "Numbers 31 and 36, you're doing lower body!" Kazuya said good-bye to his brother and went over to the left hand corner of the room with Atsuo. "32, 43, and 47 go do upper body." The man looked up at Cassandra then looked back at the clip bored. "Oh ho 47. You're the new one. Hmm. I can't wait to see what you do." Cassandra was confused for a moment before she decided to follow Kei and Kuya. They walked over to the right side of the room.
"Well I guess I'll go do some stretches over next to the cable machine." Kei waved and left them. Cassandra looked at Kuya.
"How about you and me do some stretches together. Then go over and do some bench presses together." He smiled at her and she agreed. Cassandra sat down on the floor and started to do toe touches. Kuya stayed standing and started to do arm stretches. Cassandra saw him staring at something behind her. She turned around and looked around the room. The first thing that Cassandra saw was Souta doing toe touches standing up. He was facing away from them so you could see his butt. Cassandra looked back at Kuya. He can't be checking out Souta… Can he? Cassandra shook her head.
She stood up and started to do arm stretches of her own. She looked down at the ground when she did her stretches, as she always did for some reason. She glanced back up at Kuya and saw him staring behind her again. She turned her head and saw Souta doing lunges stretching his leg muscles. She looked back at Kuya. He had looked away and was looking at the ground with a slight blush on his face. Ok something is up. I better get to the bottom of this.
"Ok enough stretching. Let's get to the bench presses." Cassandra nodded at him. They walked over to a bench that was free. "I'll be spotter first."
"Ok." Cassandra laid down on the bench. Kuya put the bar on her chest when she got a firm grasp of it. "Alright let's go." Cassandra stated to push the bar up. After she had it up for a few seconds she brought it back to her chest slowly. She did this several times. After ten times of doing it she would rest for a bit. After her doing her twentieth one she tried to put the bar back where it was. She was having troubles. "Kuya. I need your help." She looked at Kuya. He wasn't looking at her. He was looking ahead. "Kuya!" HE looked down at her and saw her struggling.
"Oh! Sorry!" Kuya helped put the bar in place. Cassandra sighed.
"Are you ok?" Kuya looked t Cassandra.
"Uh yea I'm fine. Totally fine." Cassandra didn't believe him.
"Ok well I'm going to do another ten." Kuya nodded at her. Before Cassandra started her first one she glanced at Souta. She brought the bar to her chest.
"Souta looks like he's doing well over at the tread mill."
"Yea he does." So he was watching Souta.
Cassandra pushed the bar up held it then lowered it to her chest. "He's got one nice ass too."
"Yea he does." Cassandra saw Kuya blush slightly when he said that. "Uh I mean!" Kuya's face got a bright red. Cassandra smiled as she pushed the bar up.
"Haha. Nice. So why do you keep looking at him?" Kuya was silent until Cassandra did two more bench presses. Cassandra could feel her hands getting sweety.
"I uh sort of like him."
"Well don't you like all your friends?" Cassandra did another bench press. Her arms started to shake every so slightly.
"Y-yea….but see…." Kuya sighed. "I seem to like guys more than girls…" Cassandra froze with the bar over her head. He eyes got big.
"You don't mean?" Kuya nodded his head. "You're GAY!" Cassandra's hands lost hold on the bar at that moment. The bar came crashing down on Cassandra's chest. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. Everything went black.
