Setsuka Heel stared out the window and sighed. I wish it wasn't so hot she thought as she stared longingly at the school pool directly in the line of wear she was staring. She closed her eyes and sighed again. Rotating her wrist she stared back at the white board as her English teacher Yatsuda Sensei droned on.

On the first day she had transferred to Yandorra Gaukuen from America she and Yatsuda Sensei had clashed horns. Obviously being from the States she was fluent in English, she had promptly gone to sleep the minute she was given her seat. That had smacked off as rudeness to Yatsuda Sensei, and he had told her he thought it was rude during class. She hadn't seen the harm in it, and she had told him so. Her flippant answer he saw as her being cheeky. She had been asked to sit in the hall. She sat in the hall for two minutes before she sauntered off to get a drink. He had caught her and sent her to the principal.

This went on for a few more days before Setsuka got bored and decided it wasn't worth it. After a week she now just sat in the back of the class and glazed over until the class was over. Yatsuda Sensei would ask her occasionally to read the next part or ask her a question, but because she already knew that was never a problem for her.

Setsuka, or Setsu as her Nii-san liked to call her, drummed her fingers on her desk and started thinking about what to make for dinner. Maybe some Miso or maybe something American to surprise Cain.

"Heel-san, Heel-san."

Setsu startled a little from her reverie and looked up into the anxious face of the class Representative . Tsurami Mariko was adorable. She had been tasked with looking out for and guiding Setsu through the school, which was a job she took seriously. Mariko had a bob-cut of light black hair, with bangs that cut perfectly across her forehead. She wore light rimmed glasses and she would push them up the bridge of her lightly, freckled nose constantly, but even more so when she was nervous. She was nervous now, Setsu could tell. Setsu always made her nervous, which just made Setsu want to tease her. Setsu grinned and folded her hands resting her head on them.

"How can I help you Mariko?"

"I have asked you numerous times Heel-san not to address me by my first name. It isn't proper I hardly know you."

"B-but Mariko I thought you were becoming my friend. I feel so close to you already." Setsu pushed out her bottom lip and a sudden sheen of tears could be seen at the corner of her eyes. Mariko bit her lip and pushed her glasses up her nose two more times, as she shuffled her feet.

"I g-guess we can be friends. After all I am the class Rep. and it is my job to look out for you. And you are from America so I guess calling me Mariko will be…okay I guess."

As soon as it had started Setsu pulled back in her lip and her tears suspiciously disappeared. Grinning in an obviously mischievous manner Setsu said, "Oh I didn't know you were that anxious to know me. It feels so forward, but if you insist of course I will call you Mariko. Feel free to call me Setsuka."

Standing up abruptly Setsu grabbed her bag and walked out of the room, not missing the sudden exasperated sound Mariko made as she left. Setsu chuckled and wondered to her next class, but her amusement only lasted so long before she was bored again. I wish class was over I want to see Nii-san so badly. She sighed and started counting the clock again.

****Notes: I have gotten a couple of reviews wondering at my portrayal of Setsuka. I appreciate it I really do and I will try to stick as closely as I can to how she is, but the reason no other fanfic has been done for them and just them is because Setsuka and Cain don't really have any depth. It is hard to survive when your whole reasoning is Cain and vice versa. In this world I want each character to be able to survive on their own, and become their own person not just the people we know and love. Without Ren or Kyouko to push the characters forward emotionally or physically Cain and Setsu aren't really that developed, see? In fact the two of them to me if I don't create some separation are basically the same character. I want a Setsu that is Setsu and not Kyouko and the same with Cain. Thank you and feel free to give me information on how you would like to see them develop. Give me situations that they should react in. It will be so much fun!
