THE WRITING ON THE WALL
CHAPTER ONE
GUILTY AS CHARGED
It was Monday morning and most of the students were in their classes studying relentlessly, all except Mr. Akashi's class. Mr. Akashi sat at his desk scribbling impatiently as his students either dozed off from boredom of talked quietly among themselves. Yusuke was soundly asleep next to Kayko. His drowsiness had tired her and she too fell asleep. Kuwabara chatted with a couple of boys next to him. Kurama, who had been asked to switch schools, and Hiei, who had been forced to begin school, were having a telepathic conversation between themselves.
Everyone looked up an instant later; not because a girl had opened the door nonchalantly and sat down behind Hiei, but because Mr. Akashi suddenly stood up, knocking his chair backwards and slamming his fist into the wood. He ground his teeth together and walked up to the girl's desk. He was fuming as he faced the girl.
She had short, spiky, bright blue hair and indifferent, stone grey eyes. She wore a black trench coat which hid most of her body except for her leather, black combat boots and fingerless gloved hands with blue polish on the nails.
"I know you did it you brat! I know it was you! There's no use in denying it anymore! This time you're going to pay-!" He was cut short when another teacher opened the door and entered the room to stand next to Mr. Akashi, Mr. Takenaka. He glared down at the girl in the desk.
"What seems to be the matter Mr. Akashi?" Mr. Takenaka watched him point at the girl sinisterly and accuse. "It was her Mr. Takenaka, Sir! She comes in late every day because she stays outside once everyone has come in and draws on my car! The paint she uses has ruined the finish on my car completely! I know she did it Sir!" Mr. Akashi was growing more and more excited by the moment. All the students were watching intently.
Everyone knew about the 'mysterious' person who was spray-painting 'blU' on Mr. Akashi's car every morning. They also knew it was their fellow classmate who they called Blue as a nickname. Everyone knew it, but no one ever actually saw her do it, so they had no real proof or evidence. "Well Mr. Akashi, if you know it was her, do not be afraid to punish your pupil in any way you deem necessary. I have faith that you will choose wisely." Mr. Takenaka stalked out of the classroom and slammed the door shut. Blue was glaring hard at the back of his head as he left, but her focus quickly changed to the air speeding around her as Mr. Akashi jerked the side of her desk up and sent her flying.
She gained control of her flight passage and managed to get back to her feet by executing a couple perfect hand springs down the aisle, stopping short just before his desk. She glared at him hatefully as all the other students watched in surprise. "Hey! You can't do that!" Yusuke got up from his desk and stood next to Blue, both in a fighting position. "You have no right to lay a hand on any student here, none the less one of my best friends!" Mr. Akashi laughed cruelly and pointed a bony finger at Blue.
"Maybe, but you heard Mr. Takenaka; he has 'faith in my decisions'. Sit down Yusuke and don't get in my way." His eyes narrowed but Yusuke stood without budging. Kuwabara was immediately at her other side. "You can't touch her Akashi. Besides, how could you ever think of hurting a girl? Maybe if it was Yusuke, at least he could take you without any pain, but a girl?" Blue growled at him seriously.
"Are you calling me weak? Whose side are you on anyways?" He glanced over at her quickly. "No, I was just saying..." She didn't say anything since he was standing up with her, but if they were somewhere else she would have ground his ass into the dirt so fast it would have made Hiei's head spin. Hiei had also joined the three and was standing between Kuwabara and Blue.
Mr. Akashi didn't approach her so she let her stance go. "C'mon Prof, aren't you going to punish me? If you can dish it, I can take it." She threw a dry-erase marker at his head, hitting it square on. "But if I dish it, trust me; you won't be standing when I leave this class." She saw his hesitation and turned her back to him, jumping out the window. Hiei followed her, but no one saw him flit out. He just sort of disappeared. Yusuke and Kuwabara left by the door, ditching the rest of the day and leaving Kayko and Kurama with very unsurprised looks.
