A/N: This is my first fanfic so please cut me some slack. I'll try my best to update as soon as I can, but I won't update unless I get at least five reviews for each chapter. That way I know people are reading this and I won't delete it. On with the story!
Chapter I- Unknown Emotion
On a particularly sunny morning, a girl with short blonde hair was walking along the streets of Tokyo, Japan, wearing the Shaman Academy uniform. At this mere sight people would immediately conclude a Japanese beauty.
My name is Kyouyama Anna, an itako, by the age of 15, and more known as the Ice Queen. And as you would conclude I'm not exactly the girl people expect me to be by my appearance. In fact, I am the exact opposite.
I am known as the Ice Queen, and truthfully saying, I'm not exactly proud. But hey, that's life, so I don't really complain. Anyways, today is my first day of school, and I'm not exactly nervous, nor am I excited. This would probably be like the other schools I've attended, only this time, it is a Shaman school.
The difference is that; in a Shaman School we are to use our shamanic abilities to excel, I've never been to one, but I can take it. I know I can
The blonde itako continued to walk towards her new school, and opened her eyes, to what seemed like a normal school. She sighed as she entered.
"Aniki, I heard a new girl will be enrolling here today." Yoh, by the age of 16 informed his older twin brother, Asakura Hao.
"So I've heard. Rumors are, she's Kyouyama Anna, the Ice Queen." Hao emphasized the last two words.
"Interesting."
Was the final word they got out, as the teacher came in the classroom, known as Ms. Jun Tao.
"Everyone, take your seats. Today we shall welcome a new student."
The classroom was filled with noise once again, as the pupils started to whisper to each other. Jun sighed, as she spoke.
"Please welcome, Itako no Kyouyama Anna."
At the utterance, everyone grew silent, with eager faces, as a beautiful young lady stepped into view. At that, the boys gave Anna dirty looks, while the girls merely looked away.
"You may take your seat anywhere, Miss Kyouyama."
Anna didn't even nod at the teacher, and ignored the many lustful looks she got as she took a seat near the window, dropping her black book bag on the floor with an audible thud.
"Alright get your textbooks, everyone."
Everyone groaned, as Miss Jun turned her back to the pupils, scribbling something on the blackboard behind her.
"Yoh, that Kyouyama chick is hot."
Hao whispered to his brother who was beside him.
"Whoa, you're right."
Hao then wrote a note and passed it to Anna's desk. Anna noticed a small piece of paper on her desk, she glanced at the teacher to make sure she wasn't looking and picked it up.
Hey there, goth chick.
You know you want me.
See you after school,
xXx Hao xXx
At that, the bell rung, and everyone dashed to the door, when Hao spoke up, and everyone stayed to watch the scene.
Hao approached, Anna who was shoving her books into her bag and started to head for the door, when Hao was in the way.
"Do you mind? You're in the way." Anna said icily, sending shivers up everyone's spines.
"Hey, what's the rush? You know you want me." Hao said flirtatiously, confident.
'No one can resist my charms.' Hao thought to himself.
"Why would I want a dickhead like you?" Came a comeback from Anna. At that an 'ooohhh' was heard from the crowd, and Hao was slightly shocked, but snapped out of it when Anna brushed him away.
Hao grabbed Anna's wrist, then Anna slapped him hard.
"Don't fuck with me, Asakura."
Anna warned then walked away. The class started to go out of the classroom, and whispered to themselves about the 'incident.'
"Hao, are you okay?" Yoh asked his brother.
"I'm okay, it hurts a lot, but damn. That Anna chick hits hard." Hao said, rubbing his aching left cheek.
'Who those that Asakura think he is, anyways?'
Anna thought to herself as she headed for her next class.
Well, the rest of the day, was pretty much boring, Hao tried his best to impress me, while so far I just found him annoying. And much to my discomfort the incident spread through the whole school like the internet.
Anna turned the radio a bit louder, as the music blasted into her ears.
I
can't believe it's really you Finally
every tear has dried Do you
remember all the times you said you'd call me And now I hear you saying
that you still adore me Love me, love me Right to the sky (Right up to the
sky)
Been so long, you look good
I
hear you're doing really well
Don't ask me, let me tell you
How
I've been since when you left
Since you left me for dead
I've wiped you from my life
'Cause I remember
all the reasons people warned me
But if you think I'd ever get with you
again
Then you can just
Feed the
flame
If you want me back again
Higher
and higher
Baby, can you play with fire
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me
'Hm… Interesting…'
Anna thought to herself, as she turned the radio on full blast.
You
never know just what you got But
it was insecurity that made you run
'Till it's gone, you freak out
But
I'm not falling for that game
Boys like you never change
You
made me feel I wasn't enough
Wasn't enough for your love
It wasn't me
Anna started to tap her fingers to the beat.
So
don't you sit there trying to
Give me more excuses
I don't
have time for this
I'm off to play in Houston
And I'm too busy
with the millions things I'm doing
You can't make up for what
you've done
But you still try to be the one
And started to sing to the lyrics.
Love
me, love me Right
to the sky (Right up to the sky) Ooh, by the way, by the way Love me, Love
me Right to the
sky I
can't believe it's really you
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with
fire
Love me, love me
(Far into
the sky)
If you want me
I've
found someone who gives me space
Keeps me safe
Makes me
sane
Found someone to take your place
Now I'm safe in his
arms
And I decided only he can play with fire
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire
(Love me, love me)
I hear you're
doing really well
(If you want me)
Finally every tear has
dried
(Love me, love me)
Can boys like you, boys like you
Play
with fire…
Hao tapped his foot, as he listened to the song currently on the radio. His thoughts leading to a certain blonde, as he walked to his window staring at the night sky, unusually filled with stars.
Anna to walked to the balcony of her room, as the song played over and over again in her head. She closed her eyes as the breeze hit her skin, making her shiver, her thoughts leading to him.
She didn't know what was in Hao that drew her so much to him… There was something about him that despite his annoyance, made her feel somewhat special inside. Anna sighed as she flopped herself into her bed and fell asleep. Her thoughts leading back to him.
Unknown to Anna, someone was thinking of her too.
Hao sighed, the music still in his head. As he thought of Anna, and for the first time in his life felt something he never thought he was real. Hao shook his head, sighing as he lay down on his bed.
To him, Anna was different. And he liked it….
Whew! That was a long one. Just to clear things up, Anna is 15, and Yoh and Hao are 16. I put a lot of effort into this chapter, so please review. Oh yeah, the sing is called Play with Fire, by Hilary Duff. Bye.
