And I don't want the world to see me,
'Coz I don't think that they'd understand...
When everything was made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am...
Some lessons, if to be truly learnt, must be taught by sorrow
*
How long can you fight the darkness before you find it in yourself?
*
Sometimes we see more clearly in darkness than in the light of day
*
To embrace the darkness is to discover your inner light
*
"Ohh!"
"Told ya it was awesome," Kira smirked at her friend, Reiko, who was currently gawking at the new school they were attending. Reiko smiled and nodded. "Hai, hai, you did, my friend, even if it is in Japan, it's still worth that train, plane, and bus ride I took to get here," Reiko said, looking at Kira.
Her strange eyes returned to the castle. (That's really, really big. I didn't even think they made schools this big, now or any other time in history!) Her golden eye caught the sun, and she closed it tightly, gripping it and the left side of her head. "Reiko! Reiko, are you okay?" Kira looked anxiously at her friend. "Yeah. You just need to get used to Yang and her photophobic-ness." She grimaced, looking sideways from her pained crouch with her hazelnut eye.
Kira scoffed. "You're still going on about the voices in your head as if they're real people. If you keep that up, they won't ever go away," she chided, wagging a finger in disapproval. Reiko smiled at her friend. (If she only knew. This person is much more than just a voice in my head; it's another soul in my body)
(Who're you calling 'it?' if I remember correctly, I'm a certified GIRL.)
Reiko laughed once without humor and looked back at her friend. She envied Kira. She had long, ebony hair that hit her waist, and curled in a most becoming fashion. She had beautiful icy blue eyes that would melt any would-be suitor's heart and long, thick lashes that were the same ebony as her hair. She had a petite figure and a small waist. She was evenly developed, and the new outfit looked perfect on her.
Reiko glanced down at herself.
She, too, was wearing the black uniform, only she had long, thin pants on to cover up her many cuts and bruises. Her bust, or what she allowed anyone to see of it, was well-concealed under her shirt, having buttoned up the top as far as it would go. She had one gold eye, and one hazelnut eye, and her lashes were deep brown, like her hair, and didn't look as striking on her pale face, though hers were as perfect as her friend's.
Her short brown hair had natural highlights of blood red, and her hair was a brownish-copper-ish color in the sun. Bangs swept across her face and over her eyes, so no one could see them, and her cap had floppy cat ears on it.
Kira looked at her friend, wondering why she was so sad at the moment. Her thoughts were swept away, however, when her limo arrived.
Reiko smiled halfheartedly at her friend as she ordered the driver to pull out her suitcases. She felt sorry for the poor man. He had a long day ahead if he was going to go that slow. Kira was known for her shopping, and she had the cash to pay it off with.
Kira came from the Yuuminaki family, a prestigious family line tracing back for centuries. They also owned some of the malls here near the school. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and Reiko wouldn't look twice if she had the pictures to prove it.
(I would. How would they have gotten her out without harming her mom? Did they have to perform a C-section? Oh no! We have a weird friend!)
(Correction, I have a weird friend. She doesn't know you exist, remember?)
(Oh yeah.)
"KIRA! Kira! Oh my Gosh, you're here!" Reiko flinched and looked over her shoulder, eyes wide. A girl with bubblegum pink hair and hazy emerald eyes came bouncing up. Kira turned and smiled really big at the newcomer.
"Sakura? Sakura, wow. You go here?" Kira asked, looking at her friend. "Well, I wouldn't be here if I weren't! I'm the headmistress Tsunade's star pupil. I study right under her, working with shizune-san! I came here to show the new kids around!"
Reiko backed slowly away from the loudness that was emanating from the general area and bumped into someone. She whipped around and came face-to-face with a girl with short, light brown hair, back eyes, and a yellow bandana (Which was tied around her neck.)
"G-gomenasai," She sputtered out, fumbling with her Japanese a little. Reiko cursed her American decent and lack of Japanese languageness.
(You just made another word.)
(Really? I could've sworn it was-oh. I see the squiggle now.)
She mentally fixed the Squiggle in her brain and smacked herself internally for missing that.
"A-ano, it's fine. You must be the new girl from America. Matsuri desu," She introduced, looking shyly at Reiko. Reiko smiled slightly, too. "A-ano…… Anna desu. But you can call me Reiko," she stammered, trying to get all the words right. She mentally cursed herself, again. She had screwed up and forgotten the words to say "you can call me" so she just said it in English.
Matsuri smiled knowingly at the girl. It was a good thing she spoke English. "It's okay. I speak English," she said. Reiko sighed. "Oh thank God. I was afraid of pulling out my DS lite and looking like a nerd for using a game system to find words to say."
"You have a game that does that?" Matsuri asked interestedly. Reiko grinned and pulled her silver DS out. "See? It's 'my Japanese coach for DS," She announced, pointing to the game cartridge. Matsuri squinted at the letters. "They teach you how to write in that language, ne?" She asked. Reiko nodded. "Hai. I can write better than I can speak. Why, can't you read English?" Matsuri hung her head.
Reiko looked at her new "ally" as she called it, and a light bulb went off inside her head. "Oi! I could teach you how to write in English, and you could help me speak Japanese!" Matsuri looked up. "Really? That would be awesome!" Reiko smiled and Stuck up two fingers in "peace." "Dattabayo!" she said, making The pink one, as she had deemed Sakura, flip her head around. "You sound like a night class student I know, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Night class?" Reiko asked, confused. What was this, some knockoff of Vampire knight?
"Yeah. This school has a day class, all girls, and a night class, all boys."
(okay, now this really sounds like a knockoff of VN. What next?)
Reiko laughed. "What, next you're going to tell me the night class is all vampires, and that the school has two prefects to keep the day and night classes separate." Everyone got a laugh off of that.
"Yeah, when I first got here, I was really paranoid about the night class. I mean, we never even see them. Ya know, except for on the first day, when we all met. That's how I know that Naruto kid," Sakura said, smiling brightly. "That's all he said, after everything, Dattabayo," She said, making her voice lower and more energetic to match the Uzumaki kid's.
Everyone laughed at that, and they went in the castle to find their dorms.
0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0., crazy line! ooooooooh, cazry lnie!
Naruto sneezed as he walked into the night class's dorm area…… thingy. "Oi, someone must be taking about me, dattabayo!" Then he remembered what he came in here for, and ran off to Shikamaru and Kiba's room.
"OI! OI! Wake up! The new girls are here!" Shikamaru rolled over and sat up lazily, glaring at Naruto from half-open lids. "What is it this time?" He asked, pulling his hair up in his trademark pineapple pony. Kiba rolled over off his bed and sat up. Akumaru barked and sat on his haunches. "The new girls are here!" he shouted again. Shikamaru and Kiba exchanged looks of disbelief. He had woken them up for some new kids?
"Naruto," Shikamaru began. Kiba sniffed the air and held up his hand, signaling for them to wait. His eyes widened. "She smells good. But, like……one of us? How the hell is that possible?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders. Shikamaru sniffed the air, too. "Whoa. Talk about a nice smell. This is very strange, though. I think… She might be….Maybe…" Naruto looked at Kiba, who shrugged his shoulders.
"Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled. "Get on with it!" Shikamaru looked up. "She might be a Sheon. Or at least half of one." Kiba looked at Shikamaru, straight in the eye. "You mean to tell me a female Sheon, a person with ample amounts of blood that cater to a specific vampire's taste, once thought to be extinct, is roaming around a school filled with male vampires?" He asked. Shikamaru nodded.
The three boys exchanged a look, and then burst out the door to another room.
"GAARA!"
