"So we all agree?" asked Lisa as she flipped through her magazine before peering over to look at the other occupants around the room "We will contact the orange haired freak?"

Her question gained nods from everyone around the room even the slowly reluctant nods.

"Who's going to go to the school?" Shinji asked as he shoved another fork full of food into his open mouth. Shinji frowned at the heavy silence that had creped up on the room. He swallowed his food and looked around the room to find all the Vizards staring at him with expectant eyes. They had to be kidding

"No there is no way I will be going to a human school. Not on your life!" Shinji cut into the silence, soon after there were wines from Mashiro and sighs from the rest. Shinji's frown got even deeper until it was slapped off with a sandal from a girl with super human strength.

"Hey dipshit! You listen to me! You will be going to that school whether you like it or not!" Hiyori said as she gritted her teeth in Shinji's direction.

"Why don't you go Hiyori you're the one that looks more like a kid then I?" Shinji said as he clutched his hand to his bleeding nose. Hiyori slammed the sandal once again into Shinji's face.

"What did you say dipshit?" Hiyori asked as she grinded the sandal father up Shinji's bleeding nose, before she was dragged away by Kensie and deposited on a near by couch.

"Shinji we all agree that you are the best person for the job" Love said as he came closer to the group

"Why?" Shinji muttered sullenly refusing to push himself off the ground. Shinji wiped his sleeve across his nose to get rid of the drops of blood.

"Because Kensie, Love, and Rose look to grown up" Mashiro smiled as if Shinji was a small child asking a stupid question "They wouldn't fit in at all" She added with a shake of her head before skipping over to the take out food that littered the near by table

"And Mashiro is to slow, Hiyori to short tempered, and I don't feel like going to a school for kids." Lisa said never taking her eyes off of the magazine in front of her

"Well I'm sorry about your problems but there is no way I'm going to a human school!" Shinji quickly pushed himself off of the ground and ran out of the room calling out behind him "And that's final!"

"Final my ass!" Hiyori cried out as she tried to level herself to run after Shinji before she was pushed back down by Kensie

"We'll leave him alone for now" Kensie said as he spoke up for the first time. He turned to look at the group of people sitting on the couch

"Right good idea!" Hiyori exclaimed. Everyone stared in wonder at Hiyori. Even Lisa had put down her magazine to stare at the pigtailed girl "Right now we have to come up with every embarrassing thing that Shinji has ever done"

No one could argue with the blond female they were just glad that Hiyori hadn't come down with a fever. And they didn't want to be hit like Shinji at this moment.

~.~.~.~.~

"Why am I the only one that has to go to this school?" Shinji muttered to himself as he walked down the corridor and up the stairs till he came upon the roof. "Hiyori looks more like a student then my self" Shinji sulked as he plopped himself down onto the edge of the roof and looked out at the many building in the distant.

He sighed as he lifted his head to look up at the different shaped clouds. No matter where you were clouds never changed, and they didn't expect you to go to school. I've already gone to school! Twice!

This is just so wrong. Shinji frowned at the silence. It looked as if no one was following him and if Hiyori wasn't following him than something was wrong or something very bad was going to happen. He should know he'd been friends with Hiyori for a long time.

Shinji stood up and crossed over to the door of which he'd come from. As soon as he came across the hall he started to slinky slide across the wall. Masking his retisu and walking as silently as possible he looked into the room to find…Hiyori sitting at the table with a piece of paper writing. Mashiro was sitting next to Kensie on the couch watching a program on the T.V. every once in a while she'd turn her head to look at Hiyori before turning back to the T.V. Love and Rose were reading Magna together on the second couch as they ate their share of the take out food. Lisa was standing over Hiyori and looking over her shoulder at whatever she was writing.

And it was interesting you can be sure of that, otherwise Lisa would never have put down her precious magazines to read over Hiyori's shoulder. Something was definitely up and it wasn't good, you can be sure of that. Because what ever Hiyori was involved with then it was automatically not good. Although…

…

she was pretty cute when she had that expression on. She was concentrating so fully on what she was doing she wasn't even screaming. She was biting her lip in concentration and her eye brows were scrunched up as she looked down at the piece of paper. And…then she lifted her head and laughed evilly. Yep. That ruined it.

Shinji frowned deeper at his thoughts before shaking his head back and forth to clear his head. He narrowed his eyes before slinking into the room with his hands in his pockets. He slid next to Lisa and started to lean over Hiyori when she slammed her hands on the paper and lifted her head to glare at him

"What do you want dickhead?"

Shinji shrugged a shoulder and then turned around and whipped back when Hiyori turned her head back to the paper. When his face connected to a waiting foot and he was pushed up against the wall. Only to lift his head to see Hiyori standing up above him with a huge smirk on her face

"What?"

"Dickhead!" Hiyori whipped her hand out and pointed at Shinji, her finger, scant inched from his now red face "You will be going to that school or I'll blackmail you!"

Shinji blinked at the fingers in front of his face before sliding his gaze back up to look at Hiyori "How are you going to blackmail me when there is only the eight of us?"

Hiyori's grin became wider obviously she had given this some thought "Because I know things about you that the other six don't!"

At this statement everyone in the room turned to look at Shinji and Hiyori with obvious interest.

Shinji narrowed his eyes "What? Have ya been stalking me?"

Hiyori rolled her eyes in annoyance "Dickless I've known you longer than anyone here of course I'd know things about you that everyone else wouldn't" Hiyori grinned before leaning down so that she could whisper in her ear "or things that never happened"

Shinji's eyes widened in horror "This is not going to get me to go to that human school Hiyori" Shinji made his eyes go back to their original size "There is nothing that you can say" Shinji stood up and started to dust himself off "I still think that you should be the one to go to this school"

Hiyori narrowed her eyes before opening that big mouth of hers "Once Shinji liked this girl in the district and whenever he saw her he would always thro—"

Shinji took his hand and wound it around Hiyori's small waist and lifted her into the crook of his arm. His other hand went to block the sounds coming from Hiyori's mouth

"Hey" Mashiro said as she stood up from the couch and pouted her lips "I was listening to that!"

Shinji ran right past her and out the door. A load scream could be heard a few seconds later. "YOU BIT ME!"

Lisa frowned as she picked her magazine and laid down on the second couch making Love and Rose quickly move out of her way

"So who's going to go to the school?" Rose asked after dumping his trash in the trashcan

"Isn't it obvious?" Lisa asked as she laid the magazine down on her chest to regard the blond man in front of her "Shinji tomorrow morning will be going to that kiddy school."

"Huh? How do you know that Lisa-chan?" Mashiro asked turning her head slightly to the right with the same pout on her mouth

"Sit down!" Kensie grabbed Mashiro by the arm and pulled her down onto the couch

Rose glanced off too where their two comrades had just run off. "If anyone can get Shinji to do anything Hiyori can"

Love nodded his head "Hiyori has strange and scary powers"

Lisa rolled her eyes at the morons surrounding her that were so much like her past captain. They had absolutely no brains. Lisa pulled her magazine back up to her face. Well she wasn't going to say anything about what Hiyori had written down at that piece of paper they just didn't deserve to know.

~.~.~.~.~.~

Shinji cradled his mauled hand to his chest and glared at the girl sprawled on the edge of the roof. Shinji sighed before leaning up against the rail above Hiyori and glanced down before glancing back up.

"You think that Kiskuke is right about this boy?"

"Has he been wrong about anything?" Shinji sighed

Hiyori snorted before glaring out at the buildings "I hate humans and death gods"

Shinji merely nodded "I know"

Hiyori looked up at Shinji "Shinji I don't want to go to school full of humans!"

Shinji frowned and then sighed in defeat before sliding down the railing "Why do I have to be the one to recruit?" Shinji said not quite ready to give up just yet

"We've already gone over this" A hint of annoyance creeping into her voice

Shinji once again sighed and turned his head to look at the girl with her honey brown eyes. "Fine I'll go get this Ichigo guy so we can get him to join."

Hiyori narrowed her eyes "You'll go get Ichigo so we can take a look at him it doesn't mean he can join right away!"

Shinji nodded his head "Yeah right."

Hiyori nodded her head and then gave off a rare smile that seemed to brighten up the room and her face. It brought up sparkles in her eyes and showed a surprised dimple in her left cheek. Shinji quickly turned his head to once again look out among the buildings.

"Hiyori why were you the only one gathering black mail?" asked Shinji with interest

"Because no one else had any so I had to think of the things I remember when they weren't there or before we went to the academy" Hiyori answered with a shrug

Shinji gave a nod before falling into a comfortable silence with Hiyori

If anyone had come upon them during this time they would have died of shock. Hiyori and Shinji had been together for more then five minutes and Shinji wasn't a bloody mess? Well it was inconceivable. But this was normal for the two of them. They had an unspoken truce…an unspoken bond that they kept hidden from all.

It didn't matter to them it was just there it didn't change anything. Something that could easily be dismissed at times but strangely never lived without…it was just a part of them.

Hiyori turned to look over at the same view that Shinji found so exciting "Thank you"

It was only a whisper and the only reason Shinji could hear it was because the wind carried it to his ears.

Shinji smiled as he stood up before leaning down so that his mouth was even to Hiyori's ear before walking across the roof and through the door.

Leaving a smiling Hiyori behind with twinkling eyes

"I did it for you so next time you owe me."

Hiyori touched her ear where his lips had touched when he'd spoken and let her smile become wider before lifting her head back up to the clouds.

Yes. They had a very strong bond that had been built over a hundred years. And nothing was ever going to break that still young and frail chain if they had anything to say about it.

This is a ten one shot story. These upcoming oneshots will all be connected at the end with this story and the last story. The middle stories are pretty much what Hiyori had written down on the piece of paper that Lisa had been reading. So all the oneshots will make sense I promise…just maybe not till the end of the story. All oneshots can and might stand alone. Review and I'll get the next chapter out faster.
