Part One:
The Being of the Night
The tears of the moon
In the form of stars,
Her bleeding heart
Showering the earth with love
In the form of the sun.
She is conquered by darkness,
Her appearance pale and grey,
One day wishing
To see the light of day.
Juvenilgolden, Unfulfilled Moon
Lesson One
The Academy
A
girl with long black hair wearing an oversized t-shirt was standing in a dark and fogging place with her eyes closed. She slowing opened her glowing blue eyes."Where am I? What is this place?" She asked looking around her. But only saw darkness and fog. 'This so not the MMA Champion Awards. I probably got hit by one of the loser.' She thought while scratching her head.
"He's coming..." said a voice behind her that was followed by the sound of clicking heels. She turned around to a cloak figure with a glowing red left eye. The silhouette showed what looked like a thick braid on the left side and some features of a woman. Her eye was like a blood spot in a pool of midnight black with slender a pupil. They stood looking at each other in silence until the girl got uncomfortable.
"Um... Hello?" She said. But the woman said nothing. "Okay… Can you tell me where I'm at?" She tried.
"He's coming..." She repeated. The ground stared to shake and the girl tried to maintain her balance.
"Protect him ..."She said over the sound of crystals rising from the ground around them. "Save the key... Guard the tomb..." The woman was now but a reflection on a tall crystal with that one eye still glowing. The girl slowing closed her eyes as her lids grew heavy. "Protect The Being..." was the last thing she heard as she fell into complete darkness.
The sun shined through an opened window that was placed over the head of a full sized bed in a blood red walled and dark yellow carpet room. The light shined till it hit the face of a light brown skinned girl sleeping face down on her dark orange bed spread. Her eyes squeezed shut tight. After a while, her eyes shot open showing dark blood red eyes in a pool of midnight black. The girl blinked a couple of time and her eyes turned to pure sapphire blue eyes. Her eyes moved up toward the clock on a nightstand on the right of bed.
The floating red number read 6:58. She shut her eyes and signed as she turned on her back placing her arm over forehead. She had been having that same dream for the past two week. She couldn't sleep in during summer break because of it.
"Stupid dream" The girl muttered, sitting up on her bed. She looked around her as if to find the meaning of the dream.
But all she saw was her desk next to her bed, a dresser with an mirror next to a tall dresser near a the window, and her walk-in closet laid across from her dresser. Her bed was across from the door. She removed the orange scarf that was tied around his head to let her long black hair fall down her back. A little of it fall over the edge of the bed.
"May as well get ready." She said happily as she threw the cover back and place her feet on the soft carpet. She was about to stand, when there was bang on the door.
"FENG!" Someone yelled from the other side of the door as they continued to bang on the door. "MOM SAID GET UP! BREAKFAST IS READY!" Feng felled back on the bed and sigh.
"Why is she always so loud?" Feng said. Then the door was slammed opened and a little girl stood there, staring angrily at Feng. Her skin was the same color as Feng's. Her eyes were more of an aqua that matched her short pigtails. She was wearing a blue short sleeves dress that stop at her knees and white socks. On her shoulder was a cat with fur like flowing blue water. It green eyes looked also angrily at her.
"Mom said get up NOW!" She yelled. Feng sat back up. Her head down and eyes close.
"Zaryu, you don't have to loud every time mom tells you to get me." Feng said looking at her.
"If you listened when I don't yell, then I wouldn't have to. Is that right, Yuri?" Zaryu said scratching the cat ear. Yuri meow in agreement. "She always so mean to us."
"Because I have an annoying little sister that like to yell at her big sister. And if she doesn't leave, I'll sit on her." Feng said as she slowly stood up. She ran toward Zaryu, as she screamed and ran down the hall. Feng looked back at the cloak before heading to the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later, after eating the breakfast that an android (Also called Mom) made, Feng was racing out the to a black and red wheel-less sport motorcycle with the words 'Super Happy Funtime' in blue lettering.
She was wearing a black sleeveless turtleneck with a blue crystal on fire on the front and black arm length warmers secured by red bands- on the left by one and right by two, one at the forearm and the other by the wrist-and black fingerless gloves, blue jean with flame at the hips and ankle and her pants legs over black gym shoes.
On her right arm was a red armband with a ruby red crescent moon with three claws on the side- that get smaller- pendent and ruby gem in the shape of a diamond in the middle. Her black hair was down with a red scarf wrap around the top of her head under a black fedora hat with a red ribbon.
She reached cycle with a black leather seat. She stale it and she place her black hat in a basket on the side of the bike. She left held a dark red motorcycle helmet with silver tinted visor.
"Are you coming back?" Zaryu yelled leaning out of the second floor window. Feng looked at her with her helmet above her head.
"Yeah. We're going to check out the campus and get register. I'll be back before you go to bed." Feng yelled. "Behave. And I don't want to come home to a house full with water and fish."
"That happened one time. Let it go." Feng smirked as she put on her helmet and started it by pressing a button. Her bike hovered about an inch form the ground created a small dust cloud. She waved to Zaryu and then rode off down the street. Feng turned a corner onto a street with the houses looking the same as the next.
"I had a cookie. His name is Jeff." Feng sang. Feng stopped her bike when she felt a present coming toward her. "Like see... hat... gloves... clothes... shoes... necklace... what am I missing?" She said with her right hand under her chin and her right elbow in her left hand, as she thought for a minute. "Oh snap. He's 'bout to be piss." She said looking behind her. Than a fireball appear in front of her.
"You left me." The fireball yelled in a male voice with an echo.
"My bad."
"Your bad!?" The fire blew away leaving a two feet long black scale baby dragon with small horns with frills on the side of it head and fire that start at the above his red eyes and end passed his three fingers wings and fire at his tip. "I wake to find you gone and the room empty. And you say YOUR BAD!?" He yelled as Feng head lend toward the side.
"Looked I didn't see you. Beside we don't start school for two more days, so you're not missing much." Feng said as she folded her arm and looked the other way.
"This is school we wanted to go to since we could read. I want to see it today, too."
"Well next time listen for the alarm."
"You guy are fighting again?" Said a female voice. Feng and the dragon, Flamey, looked to the side to see a girl and boy, who was twin, coming out of the house Feng had stopped in front of.
The girl was brown skin with long black hair was pulled in a ponytail on the purple in a bow that reach her shoulder and peirwock eyes.
She was wearing a V-neck belly shirt with a sleeveless blue jean jacket, a purple skirt, and long white socks with purple Mary Jane. On her left wrist bracelet pink crescent moon with three claws on the side- that get smaller- pendent and rose gem in the shape of a circle in the middle. She was also carrying a Spanish guitar on her back.
The boy was the same skin color with a slightly build but his black hair was untamed and green eyes. He was wearing a brown fitted wife beater tee with a white opened collar shirt and black fingerless gloves, kinaki pants with a black belt and white and brown air ones. On his back was a sword with a green cord on a black sheath with a brown scabbard tip and mouth.
"Wow. Didn't know this was your house. What happen to it?" Feng asked.
"Mom happened. She went all out. You should see Keiretsu room." Kaiyu said.
"No, she shouldn't. Mom knows nothing about what I like." Keiretsu said. The Hitsugaiya twin parents were clueless when it comes to them.
Feng's would be too if they were around enough to do stuff like that. Feng parents are the president and CEO of a computer software company somewhere in China. Kaiyu parents were the head of a car company also base in China. But their mother doesn't work as hard as the father, so she around more.
"Now I have to see it. But not today. Kagome await our arrived." Feng was about to start her bike when she remember something. "Where Rocky and Amerie?" Feng asked.
"They were right behind us." Kaiyu said as she looked behind her. Then a fairy and snake flew out the door.
The two feet tall fairy had tan skin with pale green eyes. Her hair was down the reach pass her feet with a yellow headband. She was wearing a yellow halter top with yellow wrist warmers and a blue jean skirt with white and yellow butterflies, her feet were bare. Her see-through wings were slowly beating the air as she floated over Kaiyu's shoulder.
The three feet long amber eyes snake had greenish brown scales with small black spot.
"Hey Feng and Flamey." Amerie said a she land in the basket on the side of Feng's bike. Keiretsu whistled and a few minutes later a motorcycle similar to Feng's, only it brown, appeared in front of Keiretsu. Kaiyu sat behind Feng on her bike as Keiretsu got on his. Rocky went to Feng bike, since hers was the only one that had one, and land on the right of Flamey as Amerie was on his left.
"Must you bring that with you?" Feng asked looking back at Kaiyu as she put on passage helmet.
"Yes I do. Don't make start playing."
"I will set that on fire."
"Ready?" Feng asked after Kaiyu, Keiretsu, and her put on their helmet. Kaiyu nodded and they were off. While riding, Feng's helmet started to beep. She hit a bottom on the left side it.
"Hello, hello?" She asked as two black boxes appeared in the left corner of her helmet. The top had a green line and the bottom had a red one that moved as Feng talked.
"Hey, where are you at?" A female voice asked, the green line moved with the pitch of her voice.
"Just leaving Kaiyu and them house. Where are you?"
"On my way to Kagome's. Meet you there?"
"Sure. Bye." Feng said, ending the call.
A few minutes later they were at a blue house with a white roof and a white brick wall around it.
Standing at the gate of the wall was Caramel skin girl with light brown hair was pulled into a ponytail that reach her backside and her mid-back and chocolate brown eyes.
She was wearing a white short sleeves blouse with a green, white, and black plaid striped on the left side of her shirt and a green skirt with a pink belt, and long white sock with small heels shoes. Around her waist was a Waist chain with a blue crescent moon with three claws on the side- that get smaller- pendent and sapphire gem in the shape of a heart in the middle.
Feng and Keiretsu stopped in front of the girl and removed their helmets.
"Hey Kagome!" Feng yelled those she was right there.
"Hi Feng." Kagome replied. "And Kaiyu and Keiretsu."
"Hey what about us?" Flamey yelled.
"Yeah. We want a 'hi', too." Amerie said. Rocky was asleep in the basket and didn't care.
"Hello Amerie and Flamey. Good to see you again." Kagome said with a warm smile.
"Where Karen?" Flamey asked. And right on cue, a flying horse with light brown eyes flew toward the group. She had green mane, tail, and hoofs with white fur and wings that had green on the tips of the feathers. She had a gray nose and blue between her eyes and a heart on her chest.
"Hey, Karen!" Flamey yelled. Karen didn't say anything. "I said I was sorry. Plus it happened years ago. Let it go."
"Amerie can you please tell the dragon next to you that when my hair fully grows back than I'll talk to him." Karen said not looking at him.
"Flamey Karen said ..."
"I heard her, Amerie." Flamey said anrgy.
"That temper is going to get you killed one day."
"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iii!" Someone yelled. They looked around until Feng saw a girl on a skateboard, which was hovering a few inch from the ground, coming down the street in front of the house.
Her long brown hair was in a braid that reaches her thigh that showed her emerald green eyes.
She was wearing a pink long sleeves shirt with a curved V-neck and two triangles cut out on the sleeves-two each sleeve- just below the shoulder, a black crescent moon with small triangles around it on the front and with black legging that stop at the knee and pink legs warmers that stop on at the black heels.
Around her neck was A necklace with a greed crescent moon with three claws on the side- that get smaller- pendent and emerald gem in the shape of a triangle in the middle.
An orange eyes, brown fur two tails fennec fox with brown wing was flying next to her head. The fox had spiky hair with a green headband under its ears. Feng smiled when she saw her.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeemyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Feng yelled back.
Memya stopped in front of Feng and did their own little hand shake. (For reason that not my own, I been ask not to show the hand shake.)
"What's up? Ain't seen you in a hot minute" Feng said.
"The sky is up. And of course you haven't seen her in a minute."
"Last time I check she was talking to Memya, not you Kira." Flamey said.
"It true." Feng agreed.
"Well maybe if she talked proper English than I wouldn't have to correct her."
"Nobody told you to." Feng yelled.
"Let just go. I want to check out the campus." Keiretsu said putting his helmet back on. Kagome was already on his bike.
"You know, Kagome, if you don't hold on to him real tight, you might fall off." Feng said.
"Yeah now wrap your arm around his waist." Kaiyu said.
"Hold on real tight so he can't break free." Memya said. Kagome blushed as she wrapped her arm around Keiretsu's waist.
"Look at the happy couple." Feng said.
"Will y'all leave her alone." Keiretsu said.
"Why? It fun." Kaiyu said.
"Like go people. We can tease Kagome and Keiretsu later. " Memya told them as she jumped on her hover-broad.
"Lead the way, MapQuest." Feng yelled over the roar of her and Keiretsu bikes. Than they were off. Memya in between Feng and Keiretsu as they headed for the school.
t took them ten minutes to get to the school and five minutes to find the door. The door was huge with a black background that had a white crescent moon and a light blue diamond shape jewel in the middle it that took up half of the door. There were three smaller full moons on the left of the crescent moon, all three white.
"I wonder how big this school is." Amerie asked.
"It's..." Kira began.
"I was talking to myself."
"Well..."
"Mind your own business than."
"So how do we get in?" Feng asked Memya.
"Idk." Everyone gasped.
"The all-knowing Memya don't know."
"I thought I never see the day." Kaiyu said. Memya rolled her eyes. Then Flamey noticed a bottom on the jewel and he flew toward it.
"What does this bottom do?" He said as pressed it. The jewel on the door glowed and a pale skin, amber eyes woman appeared before them. She was wearing a corset top white empress grown with long sleeves and a silver tiara in her long blonde hair that blew with the wind.
"Name and power." She said in a sweet voice. Kaiyu push Feng closer toward the woman. Feng gave Kaiyu a look before facing the woman.
"I'm Akechi Feng. Pyrokinesis." Feng said. The woman said nothing for a while.
"I'm sorry but that name is not register in the school files." She said. Feng dropped to her knee, heartbroken.
"But how?" She said about to cry.
"I'm kidding. You're in the school system." The woman said with a grin showing a fang on the right side. Feng got up and dust herself off.
"That was a very mean joke. You're a very mean door."
"She not a door. She the spirit of the founder." Memya said.
"Her students must have hated her." Feng muttered. Mahina chuckled.
"Come I don't have all day" Mahina said crossing her arms
"It's my turn." Kaiyu said as she skipped up to Mahina. "I'm Toyotomi Kaiyu. Aerokinesis."
"Next Please."
"I'm Toyotomi Keiretsu. Geokinesis."
"Next."
"I'm Tokugawa Kagome. Invisibility."
"I'm Date Memya. Knowledge."
"When you enter, please report to the office. Located on your right. Thank you for choosing Mahina as your school experience. Came and enjoy." Mahina said. She disappeared as the door opened showing tree tops beyond a cliff.
On the left was a river with a bridge over it leading to a red building with brushes under glass window on either side of the red oak door and a gold plate with Bookstore in black in a fancy card text font (look it up). Across from it was another red building similar to the other one but a little longer. The plate said Office in the same font.
"There the office." Memya yelled pointing to the building on their right. They walked in and stop at a long counter with five desks behind it and two doors next to each other. Both doors had name plates The right had Head Boss on it and the left had Vice Principal.
Kaiyu step to the counter and hit the bell that was on it. A girl pop out of nowhere with a huge smile on her face.
She had cream skin with short blue hair that stop just below her ears and purple eyes. She was wearing white long sleeves with a pink vest and a purple skirt. Around her neck were a silver heart necklace and a silver heart bracelet on her left wrist.
"Hello, I'm Akira. Can I help you and your friends?" She said still smiling. It was kind of creeping. Kaiyu stepped back and Feng slowly went to the counter.
"Yes. We were told by the door to come to the office."
"Your new students. Let see here." She said going through some paper. "Here your map of the school. Your schedules and the name of the teachers and staff at Mahina Academy." She said handing Feng their things. Feng looked at the other with the same confused look she had. She looked the schedules and they had the right names and information on them.
"Um... How did you know who we were?" Feng asked.
"I have all the student names in my memory. along with the picture to those names."
"But that's more than a thousand students" Kira said. Akira just looked at them still smiling. So to end this confuse party they were having, they left. Outside Feng handed the schedules to the other along with the map.
Feng walked with her bike toward the trees top and halt almost instantly.
"This is dangerous. I could've fallen." Feng yelled. The others came up on either side of her. It was a huge forest as far as the eyes can see.
"It's beautiful." Kagome said.
"Seriously. A fence or a sign that said 'Caution Might Die Pass This Sign' or something."
"Maybe it's a smartness test. The people who keep walk leave the school." Keiretsu said like a smart ass.
"Why don't you keep walking?" Feng said back.
"After you."
"Oh no. Ladies first."
(A/N: HA she just called him a girl.)
"Will yall two just stop it." Kaiyu yelled.
"He started it." Feng said
"Did not."
"Yall act like brother and sister. Now behave." Kaiyu said.
"I make no promises." Feng said
"Came on like look around. And fight later." Memya said.
"Fine."
"Whatever." Keiretsu back a few paces and ran toward the cliff before jumping over the edge.
"Now he just being a show off" Kaiyu said with her hands on her hip.
"Hey. A path." Kagome said pointing pass the office. And there it was. A sign that said 'Way Down. Don't Jump'.
"I hope he break something just for being stupid." Feng said getting on her bike and putting her helmet on. Kaiyu got on Keiretsu's, since he left it, and put his helmet. She pressed a button so the helmet fit her head. Kagome sat behind her, wrapping her arm around Kaiyu's waist. Memya got on her broad. "Let go." Feng said as she took off. The others soon followed.
The path wasn't that hard to ride through. It turned every few mile going down a slip. Half way there Keiretsu called asking about his bike. They told him that they left it. When we got there he was mad that we lye and relief that they had his bike. So Kagome got on the back of Feng bike.
The group logged in to a chat room program they had installed into their helmets so they talk when they're apart.
(A/N: Also save a lot on cell phone bills)
"So where to?" Feng asked the other.
"Let go look at the cafe they have. It to the right, over the bridge, and straight." Memya said.
"Roger that, MapQuest. 10 4." Feng said heading to the right.
A few minutes later, they made it to a blue building in the middle of a large clearing with glass window covering the front of the building. At the top on the building was a sign that said Ai's Cafe.
Computer Mode
Name: Ai's Cafe
Location: On Mahina Campus
Category: Book store; Cafe
Opened Since: 7 years after the school was opened
When they walk in, they were shock and amazed. There were two doors on the opposite of the door -one was marked Message Room and the other was marked Food Room- and four rows of bookcases with manga and anime in front of the marked doors and between them, and a checkout counter next to the front door. On the other side of the bookcases were computer stations in the corner and buff and tables along the windows.
They all went their separate way. Kaiyu went to the message room. Keiretsu and Kagome went to the food room. Memya went to one of the computer area near the back.
Feng headed straight for the manga. She was walking toward the front while looking down at a manga from the fantasy section when she bumped into someone. The mangaes he was carrying fall on the floor. Feng bend down and help him put them up.
"I'm sorry. I should have been looking where I was going." Feng said.
"I was the one not paying attent...ion." The boy said as he looked up.
He just looked at Feng. As did she. His blue hair reached to his mid back and a little of it was pulled into a low ponytail which went well with his violet eyes and ivory skin. He was wearing a gray short sleeves button shirt with dark blue jean and gym shoes. She gave him a small smile. He look at the manga in Feng handed.
"The Necklace Of Blood. Nice choice. I read that before."
(A\N: The Necklace of blood is another one of mine. It should be up. If Not than it is on another site)
Feng was lost for a second. "Oh. Yeah a friend told me about it. I thought I give it a try."
"Feng." Someone yelled in the distance. Feng looked behind her to see Flamey flying toward them. "Feng, Memya want to go the Study House" Flamey said as he landed on her shoulder.
Then a red eyes bird with black claw feet and small pointed and a few strand pointed toward the back beak landed on the boy shoulder. It had navy blue feathers at the top of it head and under it chin with blue feathers covering the rest of it head and neck. It wings were navy blue and blue with the rest of it body a violet blue.
"He cute." Nito said in a female voice, blushing a little.
"We should go Feng. The others are waiting."
"I guess I see you later." Feng said as she stood up and headed toward the front.
"Who was that?" Flamey asked.
"Don't know. He didn't tell me his name."
Feng and the other walked around the campus not going to the dorms area until tomorrow. It was almost night time by the time they finished and it was time to go. But Feng and Flamey headed back to the cafe instead. She wanted to start reading that manga before they left. The others went home and they agreed to walk back to the campus tomorrow to get there room.
Feng and Flamey walked pass one of the windows of the cafe and saw the boy sitting at a table reading. Feng walked in and didn't look his way. She made it to the section where she found the manga. She grabbed it and went to a table that a sleeping Flamey was. His flames on his body went out as he slept.
The boy was peaking over his manga ever now and a then at Feng, who was not looking at him. But she wanted to. The bird from earlier flew to Feng's table and landed next to Flamey.
"Hey cutie. I'm Nito. What your name?" Nito asked. Flamey said nothing.
"His name is Flamey. He can't hear much when he sleeping." Feng said with a smile.
"What your name?"
"I'm Naisamo Feng. First year."
"I'm Nito. And that Nisolata Toyo. He's a second year." Nito said nodding her head toward the boy.
Toyo got up and walked toward the door. "Gotta go. Bye Naisamo-san. Bye Flamey-chan." Nito said as she flew always, following Toyo. Feng waited till he left the cafe before leaving herself. She woke up Flamey and left.
hen she got home, Zaryu was in the living room sitting two inch from the giant flat screen TV. Feng took off her shoe at the foyer and went in the living room with Zaryu, lying on the coach behind her. Flamey went to sit next to Feng's head. Zaryu was watching a kids show about a creepy talking cat, Mi Meow. Well, Feng and Flamey thought it was creepy.
"Guess what kids. Mi Meow is coming to theater real soon. I hope to see you there. Till next time." the show ended. Zaryu turn toward Feng, who was looking at the ceiling.
"Onee-san? Remember when you promise to take me out one day when you already promise to take me to the anime expo?"
"Maybe."
"Can you take me to go see that movie the first day it comes out? Please?" Feng looked at her younger sister. She did promise on sister honor. She now regretted that. She hated that show. Stupid cat. Always so damn happy. Even the always cheerful Feng was sick of her.
"Fine. I'll take you. But let make it a day. In the morning, I'll come get you and show you around the campus of my new school. Get something to eat. Than go see the movie. Deal?" Feng said with her pinkie out. Zaryu waited before locking her pinkie with Feng's.
"Deal." Zaryu said. They smiled at each other.
"Dinner." Their 'mom' called from the kitchen. Feng and Zaryu ran to the dining room to eat the meal they were given.
