Chapter 1

The Beginning (RW)

"Early again" a young girl Groaned, Rubbing a hand down her face as she entered the quiet Classroom, where only a handful of students waited for class. "another Beautiful Fall day in the town of Yumi" The girl thought smiling looking out the nearby window, before sitting down at a desk. "Lets see... History class, then Biology.." She ran off a list in her mind, pulling corresponding books out of her small backpack. Just then the sound of footsteps beating down the hallway echoed into the classroom, she looked over at the door. "Immature boys always goofing off" The girl thought shaking her head, until Suddenly a young man slid to a stop, appearing in the door way.

"Sabby!!" the young man called out, breathing heavily, Sabby looked up at the Scrawny, thin built boy, Light Blond, Messy hair covering his hazel colored eyes. "Sean?" Sabby muttered in confusion. "I have to ask you something important! did you hear about the incident last nigh-!!" The boy trailed off, as his footing gave way to a piece of loose paper. "Watch out!!!" he cried out, but was to late, the young man crashed into Sabby's desk toppling the pair over, hitting the ground roughly.

"Ow ow ow..." Sean groaned. "what is this...?" he thought feeling something soft in his hand, squeezing gently before his mind clicked in. "ACK!" Sean cried out pulling away, Seeing Sabby's Emerald Green hair ruffled hair, her light green eyes, and most of all, the shadow looming over her face. "I-I'm sorry Sabby! i didn't mean to do that! i just lost my footing and-" The boy was cut off as Sabby stood up. "Sean.." She said in a calm tone, he stepped back. "YOU'RE A PERVERT!!!" She yelled viciously, picking up the toppled over desk. "AHHH!! I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN TOO!!" he screamed, quickly Diving out of the way as the desk flew at him, barely missing his head. "Come out SEAN..." Sabby said in a evil tone, another desk held overhead.

"S-she's going to really kill me if i don't get out of here!" Sean thought "found you!!" a voice cried out, Sean Screamed in surprise, stumbling away as a desk slamming onto where he was sitting. "Wow!" Sean cried out losing his footing, falling into a tight roll, stopping abruptly as he connected with a object. "O-ow.." He groaned holding his head, feeling something warm. "What is this..?" he thought looking up, seeing the inside of a skirt. just then a sharp pain slammed into his ribs, sending him tumbling across the classroom, crashing into the wall nearby. "do that again Sean, and you will regret it" a voice said calmly, Sean looked up seeing a pair of Light Blue Eyes staring down at him, long Black, Silky hair glistening in the light. "Aeriana..?" he muttered, gasping in shock as he heard footsteps beside him.

"P-please!!! i swear i didn't mean to do that! i didn't mean to fondle your..." Sean pleaded, Sabby's eye twitched. "Sigh.. will you two stop destroying the classroom? MS. Ayani will be furious if she sees it in this condition" Aeriana said calmly, Stepping into Sabby's path. "Sabby, put it down" She said calmly "I'm not scared of Ayani!" Sabby Exclaimed in anger "oh, really?" a Familiar voice said from behind them, Sabby froze. "M-miss.. Ayani..?" Sabby muttered turning around slowly, seeing the Young Teacher, her Crimson Red hair gently flowing down her shoulders, her Dark Blue eyes locked onto the mess the trio had made of Ms. Ayani appear in her view. "Sigh... you've destroyed the class again Sabby, what am i going to do with you three?" Ayani said smiling, placing a hand on her refined hip. "Please clean this up before class begins" Ayani asked. "Y-yes ms. Ayani!" Sabby said quickly lowering the desk, snapping a glance at Sean before walking off.

"What started this?" Aeriana asked looking down at Sean who had stumbled back to his feet, holding his side. "Oh yea!" Sean said suddenly, shuffling forwards. "Last night there was a disappearance near Sabby's home, i wanted to ask her because i thought maybe she heard about it, but i slipped on some paper, and... it went downhill" Sean muttered, Aeriana sighed lightly. "I see. I'll ask for you then" Aeriana said lightly, Sean's eyes widened. "I doubt you would want to ask her right now" Aeriana said snickering lightly, Sean nodded his head. "t-thanks Aeriana" Sean said laughing weakly. Aeriana turned, walking towards Sabby, who was crouched down picking up the papers scattered across the floor.

"Need some help?" Aeriana asked, Sabby jumped slightly in surprise, looking back. "oh.. Aeriana, sure" Sabby said smiling lightly, looking back down picking up more of the papers. "I heard someone in town disappeared last night, did you notice anything odd?" Aeriana asked shuffling some papers into a neat pile, Sabby had frozen into place. "N-no... i didn't" Sabby replied shallowly, Aeriana snickered lightly. "You are a poor liar, as always. Lets meet at lunch in the courtyard, we can discuss what is bothering you there" Aeriana said smiling, Sabby hesitated looking down. "Fine... i know arguing is futile" Sabby sighed loudly.

After finishing cleaning up the mess, and having set the desks back... "OK class! i hope you enjoyed your weekend!" Ayani said smiling widely, the class began to cheer. "hehehe... Please open your text books to page fifty nine" Ayani stated calmly. "What was that i heard last night? someone disappearing nearby, and that strange noise... it didn't sound human..." Sabby thought staring off into space. "Welcome back" Ayani said Grinning, Sabby jumped in surprise "Read the page out loud please" Ayani said, Sabby went Red I'm embarrassment, before standing up.

After some time, the Lunch bell Rung... "Woot!" Sabby cried out, jumping up, a wide smile on her face. "i wonder what Grandma packed me today.." Sabby muttered rummaging in her bag, pulling out a plastic container. "That smell... Grey Darter sandwich" Sabby muttered, almost beginning to drool at the smell, before remembering she had to meet Aeriana outside. "Sigh... i better hurry, or she won't let me hear the end of it" She thought, putting the container away. she began to walk towards the exit, when a hand grabbed her shoulder gently.

"Sabby, is everything alright?" Ayani asked, Sabby turned around seeing Ayani smiling caringly. "Y-yes ms. Ayani, why do you ask?" Sabby replied in surprise "you just look... not like your self. If you need to talk about anything, remember I'm here for you" Ayani said Smiling, Sabby smiled lightly, nodding her head. "I Appreciate it, but I'm fine, really" Sabby said calmly, Ayani Snickered. "OK then, enjoy your lunch!" Ayani said waving as Sabby waved back, Disappearing out of the room.

"There she is" Sabby thought seeing Aeriana Sitting at a Cement Table in the middle of a grassy Courtyard. As She took a step forward, a canister hit the ground in front of her. "What is that...?" Sabby thought crouching down, Gasping loudly, as the canister popped open, spewing a thick Grey smoke. "W-who?!?!" Sabby growled angrily, before maniacal laughter echoed out from above, Sabby looked up quickly, seeing the Violet haired girl leaning out from the window above. "YUKARI..!!" Sabby growled angrily. "hehehehe!! i got you witch!" The girl called down, laughing madly. Sabby looked around, before spotting a trashcan, she quickly walked over, emptying the contents hoisting it over her head.

"EH-EM" a voice cleared their throat, Sabby froze knowing that dreadful voice, as she turned around looking at a Thin, Medium height, well kept Dark Blue haired boy, dark Grey eyes, with a smug look on his face. "what exactly were you planning to do with that may i ask, hmm..?" He said in a sly tone, Sabby flinched. "Leo, the second in command of the schools disciplinary board, and pain in my back, harassing me at any chance he gets" Sabby thought angrily, placing the can down. "Yukari just attacked me!" Sabby exclaimed, pointing back at the windows. "i don't see anything? lying is a bad habit, especially for someone like you" Leo said rudely, Sabby grunted, glaring at him angrily. "Try to not shame our School further. I'll look over this incident" he said smugly, walking past.

"Hello" Aeriana said looking up as Sabby sat down, Grumbling angrily. "I hate that guy! he always picks on me, appearing at the worst times!" Sabby shouted angrily, Aeriana snickered. "you do tend to cause a great deal of trouble around the school" Aeriana said calmly, taking a spoonful of the bubbling liquid in a bowl. "W-what.. is that..?" Sabby asked, her eyes wide in horror. "this? Gravy, Carrots, and Raw fish served cold. a family recipe, it's very healthy for you" Aeriana said Smiling, Sabby stuck her tongue out. "Yuck..." Sabby muttered, pulling the container from earlier out of her bag, opening it. "My Grandma... such a incredible cook, even a simple sandwich is a master piece" Sabby said, her eyes glistening, as she opening her mouth to take a bite.

"So what is it that has you bothered?" Aeriana asked, Sabby froze, looking at her with a slightly scared expression, lowering her sandwich down. "I don't think it was anything related, however last night.." Sabby muttered "i was taking the Trash out to the curb, when i heard... something" Sabby said lightly, Aeriana raised a eyebrow. "Something?" She asked curiously "it was... like a scream... it caused my blood to freeze, i immediately assumed someone was hurt, as i ran down to the corner of the road, but i could see nothing. I quickly returned to my house, but the sound.. it didn't sound like one a human could make.." Sabby muttered, shivering slightly.

"I see. It could have been a air conditioner, or many, many other things, so don't get to worried, why don't we go investigate it tomorrow?" Aeriana asked, Sabby blinked. "Investigate? like we did when we were kids?" Sabby said snickering, Aeriana smiled. "We haven't met up outside of school in a few months, so this is a good excuse to do just that as well" Aeriana said, Sabby smiled. "Very good point, and it probably was just a machine, me and my over active imagination hahaha" Sabby laughed smiling. "Can i come?" a voice asked, Sabby jumped in shock, looking to her right seeing Sean sitting on the bench across from them.

"You little..!!" Sabby growled "Spying on us?!" Sabby shouted, Sean recoiled. "N-no! I've been here for a while now!" Sean said quickly, waving his hands. "I'll let you off for now Sean, but i swear, you EVER do that again, I'll break your fingers one by one you little pervert!" Sabby yelled, Sean whimpered, nodding his head. "hehehe. you two never change..." Aeriana giggled, Sabby grumbled. "lets meet up after classes, we'll go to my house to visit" Sabby said calmly, Aeriana smiled. "Will your grandparents be OK?" Aeriana asked, as Sabby lifted her sandwich "of course, she loves company" Sabby said snickering, as she opened her mouth, the bell rang. "w-what?! NOOOOO!" Sabby cried out. "Tough break!" Sean said grinning, Sabby sighed loudly.

"I'm so embarrassed.." Sabby groaned as the trio exited the class. "hehehe, your stomach has a bad temper, it was growling all class because you didn't feed it" Aeriana said laughing, Sabby grumbled. "Well, no one is stopping me now!" Sabby said taking a large bite out of her sandwich as the trio exited the school. "Getting Chilly out lately, Winter isn't far away" Aeriana mumbled, Sabby nodded her head. "i love winter. Yumi always looks so pretty covered in white, untainted and pure.." Sabby said smiling, Sean smirked. "Unlike you..." he muttered "what was that, SEAN?" Sabby said sharply, Sean jumped. "N-nothing!" he squeaked.

"Your House still looks as it always did, the Garden too" Aeriana said smiling, as they open the Iron gate. "Yep! my grandpa takes very good care of these flowers, it's his life basically" Sabby said smiling, as she knocked on the door. "Are you sure this is alright?" Aeriana asked "of course! stop Worrying so much" Sabby said laughing, as The door opened, a frail elderly woman appeared, pure white fluffy hair, and sky blue eyes came into view. "Hello Sabby, how was school?" the woman ask smiling widely. "hiya Grandma! it was good, thank you for lunch" Sabby said smiling. "Ho ho.. my pleasure dear, and what's this? you have friends?" Rose asked looking over. "Ah! Aeriana and Sean, i haven't seen you two in quite some time" Rose said smiling. "Please, come in out of the cold! you'll get sick" Rose said gesturing for them to enter.

"Thank you Rose" Aeriana said bowing politely. "How have you two been?" Rose asked, Sean smirked, looking at Sabby. "Good" Sean replied, Aeriana nodded her head in agreement. "school, school, and more school" Aeriana said smiling, Rose chuckled. "The final year! you three must be happy" Rose said, Sabby grinned, nodding her head. "Would you two like to stay for dinner?" Rose asked "what? no no! that's to much to ask" Aeriana said waving her hands. "Oh non sense! I'd be very happy to have you both over" Rose said smiling, as she turned walking down the hall. "You three go play and do what you need to do, I'll bring it up to you!" Rose said cheerfully, Sabby laughed. "Arguing with her is basically futile, she won't take no as a answer" Sabby said grinning.

"Your grandmother looks like she is in high spirits as always" Aeriana said as they reached the top of the stairs. "Don't let her kindness deceive you, she is ruthless when angry" Sabby said snickering as she opened her bedroom door. "Sorry it's a bit messy, i didn't expect company" Sabby said quickly, Sean laughed. "My room is ten times worse, this is nothing" He said grinning. Sabby suddenly ran dashing across the room, dive bombing onto her bed, hugging her pillow. "My Precious bed..." She said rubbing her face against the pillow, a wide smile on her face. "Oh, sorry" Sabby said laughing bashfully, climbing off the bed, crouching down grabbing the edge of a short white table, pulling it out.

"There!" Sabby said smiling, placing the table in the middle of the room, placing three pillows down for the group to sit on. "Sean, can you explain in detail what the news said?" Aeriana asked, Sean smiled nodding his head. "eh-um. 'Early last night, witnesses reported a man had turned a corner, where he was not seen again. one witness reports seeing a strange fog around the area, but that is not uncommon for this time of the year'" Sean quoted, Sabby grinned. "You imitate well... so they disappeared just near that park.." Sabby muttered. "We should begin our search there tomorrow then. perhaps find some clues, and find what caused that noise so Sabby doesn't worry" Aeriana said Smiling, Sabby smirked.

Just then a knock echoed into the room, Sabby jumped to her feet walking over to the door. "Grandma!" Sabby yelled, seeing her grandmother balancing three plates on her arms, Sabby quickly grabbed two of them. "You could hurt your self!" Sabby yelled, Rose chuckled. "I may be old dear, but i still know my limits" Rose said smiling, as she placed the plate down onto the table. "Curry!" Sean cried out wide eyed, Rose smiled. "Do you like Curry? i didn't know what to make you three, so i apologize if you don't" Rose said, Sean shook his head. "I love it! i haven't had normal food in ages.." Sean muttered "you're rich, but you hate rich food... that's amusing" Aeriana said giggling, Sabby snickered. "Thank you grandma!" Sabby said smiling, Rose smiled. "Enjoy you three" She said before disappearing out of the room.

"Great as always" Sabby muttered rubbing her stomach, a smile on her face. "Why don't you two stay over the night?" Sabby asked, Aeriana raised a eyebrow. "Will your grandparents be OK with it?" She asked, Sabby laughed. "Of course! as long as you two are fine about it?" Sabby asked, Sean smirked. "My family couldn't care less about me now, since i refused the offer, and they disowned me basically.." Sean muttered. "I'm fine, i don't have anyone to ask if i could stay anyways" Aeriana replied smiling, Sabby jumped up. "OK! I'll be right back then" Sabby said cheerfully, as she ran out of the room.

"Wowww" Sabby muttered balancing a massive stack of pillows, blankets, and bedding as she reappeared in the room. "Watch out!" Sabby Cried out, as the pile fell down hitting the floor. "Sean, you can sleep in here on the floor, but i promise if you so much as wink a eye at me or Aeriana the wrong way..." She said threateningly, Sean grumbled. "I didn't do it on purpose, geez.." He muttered. "We'll get up early, and spend the day there" Aeriana said, Sabby nodded her head. "It will be nice to get out, even if it is getting cold" Sabby said smiling, climbing under her blanket, stretching loudly.

"Good night you two" Sabby said as she shifted, turning over. "Good night" Aeriana replied, Sean remained silent, Sabby reached over turning the night light off. After a couple a couple of minutes, a blood curdling scream echoed into the room from outside, Sabby's eyes shot open, as she sat up looking down, the other two looking at her wide eyed. "W-was that what you heard?!" Sean cried out, Sabby nodded her head slowly, looking out of the window seeing nothing. "That... is a creepy sound..." Aeriana muttered rubbing her arms slowly...
