Well, hey guys. Yes, I'm starting a new story, but DO NOT get mad at me! I'm still updating my other stories all right! For all of you who don't know, I actually updated my Shugo Chara! story yesterday night. So there, no ranting. I actually prefer Soriku and Akuroku to RokuNami and Sokai, but I thought that I'd broaden my horizons. I am crazy...so this does have crazy elements to it, but do give it a chance. Okay, well here's the first chapter! I hope you like it!

Dear Diary,

Today is me and Kai's first day of our sophomore year in Destiny High School. As you know our family moves around a lot so once again we are the new kids. I wonder what the people will be like there? I hope we can fit in. I hope Kairi doesn't cause trouble for us like last year. Not good memories. Wish us luck!

"Naaaaaaammiinneeeeee!" My sister called up the stairs. I looked up from my diary. Closing it I yelled back, "COME IN!"

Even though I knew she was coming up to harass me about getting to school early, I still jumped when my door was kicked open and a flurry of shiny red hair bobbed in the room.

"NAMI! NAMI! WE NEED TO-"

"Get to school early. I know, Kai." I finished for her. She grinned. We had a habit of finishing each other's sentences. Most people found it really cool; others found it annoying, so we tried not to do that in school. We're not twins. Well we are, but we're fraternal twins. She has violet eyes, mine are just blue. She has red hair; I have blonde. She's a star athlete and I fail miserably at P.E. I'm an artist. Another thing, we don't hate each other like most teenage sisters. She's actually my best friend as well as my family and I love her to pieces. Though, it is quite bothersome when I end up having to patch up things with people when she mouths off and says something she's not supposed to. I'm, apparently, 15 minutes older than her, so I end up with the big sister role.

"RIGHT! So-"

"Tone it down a notch, please."

"Oh. Okay. So if we're going to get there early, we need to leave soon. Soon as in-"

"Now."

"EXACTLY AND YOUR NOT EVEN DRESSED!"

"MMMMM" I hummed at her and got up to gently push her towards the door, hoping she would pick up the hint.

"Okay but, I will be back in 10 minutes! 10 MINUTES!" She yelled as the door clicked shut

Now that my sister was gone I strode over to my walk-in-closet. Grabbing my school uniform as I shouted, "2 MINUTES!"

It was received with my sister's "'KAY!"

I pulled the white shirt over my head and slipped the blue plaid skirt. When I was tying the tie around my neck, the poor abused door was once again kicked open. Suddenly, I was facing Kairi, decked out in her matching uniform.

"Ready?" Kairi asked, breathless

"Um, yes." I answered back my twin, "Let's…go to…school" I choked on the last word. The anxiety was getting to me.

"Aw, don't worry, Namine." Kairi soothed as she came over to pat my back, "Everything will be fine. Remember? You love school! We both do!"

I snorted and made a weak attempt at a smile. "Sure, Kai. Whatever you say."

Now, for the life of me I couldn't understand how Kairi could love school the first week and then abruptly changing to her hating school and only going to socialize. I loved school, it was true. "The star student" the teachers called me at our old school. That nickname didn't bode well with the others. I'm willing to bet they resented me for being such a great student, but they couldn't call me a nerd because my sister was one of the most popular kids in school. Because of Kairi's title I was promoted to being one of the most popular kids in school too.

"…Nami?" Kairi tilted her head and bit her lip. I hummed in response as we started down the 3 flights of stairs to the first floor of the house. "Do…you think that…we'll be accepted there?" She looked down.

It's so weird how my sister can tell what I'm thinking, but for her sake I had to act totally confident therefore I put as much fake confidence I could muster up into my words. "What? Oh, don't be silly, Kairi. Of course we will. How could you even think like that?"

"I know you're faking." She mumbled, still looking down.

I huffed and nudged her, "Kairi, really, you do this every time." I reprimanded her. She sniffled so I took a different approach. "Kairi..? Of course you'll be accepted. You always are. It's me who should be worrying about being accepted." I added the last part more to myself but she still heard. Her head snapped up and she fixed me with a disapproving glare.

"Namine Erika Cross, you know just as well as I do that you'll be accepted before you even open that little mouth of yours. Your pretty little face will win them over in an instant." She snapped

I winced. There it was again. Everyone always told me and Kairi that we were so pretty. I mean, yes I suppose we are pretty what with our big eyes and medium-thin figures and whatnot, but I wished people would stop bringing that up. I wanted others to like me for me and not just because I have a pretty face.

Kairi looked a little ashamed of herself. She knows my thoughts on being accepted only because of my being nice looking. "I'm sorry," she muttered and ducked her head, "I shouldn't have said that."

We reached the first floor and went into the kitchen to grab something quick to eat. Even though it's not quite healthy, Kairi and I mainly eat double chocolate muffins and blueberry bagels for breakfast.

I nodded my head understandingly to signal that I wasn't mad. "I know that…you're always more popular than me, though. Everyone adores you and wants to be your friend just because you're so approachable and bubbly. I know that I make friends easily too, but I don't make them as easily as you do. I keep to myself more often and you know that."

"Mom left a note." Kairi changed the subject so quickly that I wasn't sure if I had heard her correctly.

"What? Mom never leaves a note."

"Yea and we both know why that is." Kairi snickered

You see, I'm not really supposed to let anyone know this, but our mother is an assassin. Er, that is to say that she works for an organization that helps rid the world of scum. Killing just comes with the job. Me and Kairi we never meant to actually find out. We were 12 and mom was out. She was always so secretive so Kairi figured that we should go snoop around in her study. Kairi went to go look at the bookshelf while I sifted through papers on her desk. I came across a sticky note that said: PICK UP THE PEN. I told Kairi to come over and look at a note I found. So, of course she was naturally curious like me and we began picking up every pen in the study. It certainly didn't help that there were about 50 pens in that darned place. We were just giving up after picking up every pen in that accursed room when I spotted one of those old time-y pen sets; The ones with a quail feather in a pot of ink. I must have been staring at it for a while because Kairi came over and tugged on my blonde braid.

"You thinking that the quail thing might be what the note was talking 'bout?" Kairi had asked

I remember that I had nodded and said, "It's not actually a pen, but I figure it at least has to be worth a try."

Kairi, I think, yelled something about wanting to check it out. As she pulled it out I heard a metallic crack! And suddenly the bookcase started shaking. It took us a moment to realize that it was slowly sliding open to reveal another room. I only got a glimpse of the room before my mom came in. Or more like she kicked the door down. (Yes, I would like to put this story on pause for a moment to add that Kairi did indeed steal that move from our mother; but she's not quite strong enough to kick the door off its' hinges. She can just slam it open.) and almost shot us with a bazooka. Then, she realized that it was just us and took us downstairs to explain that the room we opened was a secret and that nobody should know about it. We asked why and she told us what she was. She also told us that we couldn't tell anybody about what happened that day or else the people who found out would have to be eliminated. THEN, these German men busted in through our windows and started talking rapidly in german. Mom screamed something at them in their language and they all back flipped out the window. I love our family. But, the point is that mom never leaves notes because they're evidence and the whole reason Kairi and I know about mom's job is because of a note.

"Well, are you going to read it out loud or am I?" Kairi asked while poking me in the shoulder.

"You grab us breakfast and I'll read the note, 'kay?"

"M'kay."

As Kairi was grabbing our muffins and two cans of Coke I walked over to the fridge and grabbed the note off of it.

"Out loud." Kairi reminded me

"It says: Dear girls, I know you're probably freaking out that I even took the time to write you guys a note. Oh, a quick reminder. This is evidence so burn it after you're done reading it. Namine make sure that you're reading this out loud. I'm sure your sister has already reminded you to do that. Good luck at school today, girls. I love you very much. Oh, and since you two have been bugging me and bugging me for one, I got you a car. Don't crash it! I'll be out of town for a few days. Again, I love you!"

"OHMYGOD! MOM GOT US A CAR!" Kairi squealed as she ran over and grabbed me shoulders. "WE HAVE A CAR!" She let go of my shoulders and grabbed my wrists. She spun us around in a circle for god knows how long until I dropped to the floor and she dropped next to me, still giggling.

"I'm driving." I declared

"What! No way, Nami!"

I laughed. "But, I'm older and I don't want you wrecking and totaling our car before anyone at school can see it."

"That would be bad." Kairi stated obviously

I nodded very seriously. "Yes, Kai. It would be very bad." I paused and spotted car keys taped to the place where the note had been. I giggled. "So, I'm driving!" I yelled as I jumped up, grabbed the keys and ran out the door. I could hear Kairi yelling "NAMINE! NO FAIIIRRRR! THAT NOT VERY SISTER-LY!" Once on the sidewalk, my eyes bulged at the sight of a brand new electric blue convertible parked on the curb. It was gorgeous. I had always dreamed of having an electric blue convertible. Kairi seemed just as thrilled when she caught up to me. By then I was already sitting in the driver's seat, with the car running, listening to Can't Lie, Get High by Tyler Ward.

"IIIII DRINK MY WATER FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!" Kairi sang

"AND PLAY A SIMPLE GAME CALLED GUESSIN THE TRUTH!" I sang along. We took turns singing the lines until we pulled into the school parking lot. Then people started giving us a few weird looks. I cut off the ignition and we exited the car simultaneously.

Destiny High was huge. It had about 8 different buildings, all of them equally as big and intimidating as the next. The other intimidating part about it was that there were hundreds of kids milling around out front. A group of haggard looking boys loitered around the entrance and a few whistled at all the girls while others picked fights with other guys. Another group of boys and girls were hunched over, wearing black hoodies and had their bangs hanging in their faces. Most of them had scars all over their arms. I wondered what happened to them. Truth be told, I would have been scared out of my mind if my gaze hadn't fallen on an absolute angel.

He was absolutely beautiful. His face was completely smooth, without one blemish to ruin it. Golden blonde hair was spiked to perfection, but his bangs fell into his eyes. Oh, god his eyes. His eyes were a deep navy blue and flickered across the crowd as he leaned against a wall. He would occasionally turn his head ever so slightly to mumble something out of the side of his pale pink lips to the guy next to him. I figured that was his friend he was talking to because he was smiling ever so softly and would sometimes laugh or roll his eyes at something the other said. Oh. My. God. He looked so adorable when he laughed. Now, his friend was striking, but not in the same way as I saw the other. The guy talking looked a little older than the blond and he had spiky red hair that defied gravity. His eyes were catlike in a way. They were green and sparkling with an intense fire. There were two teardrop shaped marking below his eyes. But, it was the way he held himself that really caught my attention. His posture looked protective of the blond boy. The way he was looking at his fellow students out of the corner of his eye was as if he was making sure none of them came to close. He looked friendly enough, but the other one looked more open even if he was separating himself from the others. I wonder how long I was staring, because my sister noticed. It probably didn't help that somewhere along the way, my mouth fell open.

"Whatcha lookin at?" She questioned. When I didn't answer she followed my gaze to the boy and his friend. "Oh, yeah. He's definitely worth your attention." She approved. We have this thing where we have to approve of a guy before the other can date him. So in other words, I approve Kairi's boyfriends and Kairi approves mine.

"U-um.." my voice was drowned out by the din of the students. I swallowed.

"Well talk go talk to h-" Kairi was interrupted by a loud blaring horn and loud laughter. "Who's the bas-" the horn cut Kairi off again. "GOD DAMMIT! WHO IS DOING THAT!" she yelled at me.

"There's the car right there, Kairi. I think you wanna see this."

"WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WANT T-" She wasn't cut off this time. She stopped and choked. Her gaze was set on a pair of boys speeding into the parking lot. Everyone bustled and a few shrieked as they ran out of the line of fire. One of the boys had silver-white hair a little past his shoulders skidded to a stop in the lot next to ours. The one causing all the noise laughing was a boy who looked to be about the same age of my angel. (Yes, I'm calling him that now.) His chocolate brown hair was spiked out in all different directions. His eyes were the same color as my angel's except they were a little wider and glimmered with open laughter.

The brown haired boy's friend with the silver hair was half-smiling as the brunette shot out of the car and stood on tip-toe to wave to my own personal angel. I looked toward the blond boy again to see what his reaction would be. To my surprise, he smiled widely and lifted his hand in greeting. The brunette's friend got out of the car too and caught the boys' shoulder before he had a chance to bolt toward the blonde. I noticed that the older boys' stance was possesive and on edge. He was smiling at the crowd that they had attracted, but his electrifying blue-green eyes were narrowed, warding off anyone who was thinking about coming close to the brunette. He leaned down and muttered something to the boy with brown hair. The boy nodded and the silverette released his shoulder. Together they walked over to the red-head and the blond. Before they reached them completely the brunette jumped and tackled my angel. He laughed good naturedly and patted his back. The silverette was close behind his friend, walking over to the red-head and giving him a playful shove in greeting. The red-head laughed one short laugh and punched his arm. The spiky haired blond boy (Angel) was still dealing with the brunette who was just now letting go of him while talking a mile a minute judging by how fast his mouth was moving. My angels friend reached over and ruffled the brunettes hair.

"They're...hot." Kairi mumbled

"Don't need to tell me" I agreed. Though, I was looking at the blond and her eyes were locked on the brunette.

"Oh my god. How the hell can two people be so...gorgeous?"

I bumped her with my hip. "I approve."
