Chapter 1- No longer alone

It was a dark and rainy Sunday afternoon. The sky was grey and the sun was gone, not a soul can be seen on the disserted streets. A girl holding an umbrella stared at her new house with no expression on her pale face. She has long red hair that is tied with a long white ribbon. (Think Rei's hair from beyblade) her front was somewhat spiked, and she has large, sharp crimson eyes. She wore long black baggy pants with a matching black sleeveless top. She had just moved into Domino City with her father.

"This is our new home Hitomi, we'll be living here for a long while hopefully" her father said in a monotone voice. They moved a lot due to her father's business job, however, this time they won't be moving as often anymore because her father has gotten a new job.

Wordlessly, the red headed girl went into her new house and quietly went up the stairs to pick out her new room. 'New City means new school...again...' she thought miserably as she started unpacking her bags. 'Not that it matter's, it's going to be the same, just like every other school I went to...I'm still going to be alone...'

The next morning, Hitomi woke up to the annoying beeping of her alarm clock. Looking at her new surroundings, she sighed.

"Hitomi, I can't take you to your new school today, would you be okay on your own?" her father asked.

"You've never taken me to any of my new schools, and I was okay on my own..." she replied tonelessly.

"Hitomi...I..." her father started.

"Forget it" she cut him off as she walked out the door without breakfast.

Hitomi walked into Domino High, her new school. She got lost a couple of times trying to find the office, but eventually she found it. Getting her schedule, she started looking for her homeroom. Turns out the classroom were located right across from her locker. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.

She felt eyes staring at her upon entering the classroom. Keeping her head down, she walked over to the teacher.

"Oh hello! You must be the new student! I was expecting you!" Ms. Mink, the overly excited teacher said.

"Class! We have a new student joining us today! Her name is Hitomi Kiyoshi. Hitomi would you like to tell us a little about yourself?" she asked with a hopeful voice.

"Not really..." Hitomi said softly.

"Okay...well...find an empty spot and sit then" Ms. Mink replied, her cheeriness gone.

Hitomi found an empty spot beside the window, as she was walking towards her desk, whispers erupted around the classroom. She knew they were all talking about her.

"I wonder where she's from" a boy whispered.

"She's cute" said another.

"I wonder why she always keeps her head down" someone wondered out loud.

Getting annoyed, Hitomi raised her head to face them. Turning her head to the whispers, she was met with a pair of violet eyes that was staring at her; they were so intense, that she had to look away.

Classes were boring as always, everyone watched the clock instead of the teacher, and listened to the ticking instead of the mumble jumble that was coming out of the teacher's mouth. When the bell rang, indicating that it was lunch time, everyone jumped out of their seats and ran out the door, leaving papers flying everywhere.

Hitomi was the last one to get out of her classroom. Instead of following the other students into the cafeteria, she walked outside, sat under a large tree and rested her head on her arms. She didn't bring lunch, and she didn't want to buy lunch because she knew how horrible the cafeteria food is. Hearing footsteps approaching her, she lifted her head a little, meeting the same pair of intense violet eyes staring at her crimson ones. He had the wildest hair that she had ever seen; they were tri-colored and were very spiked up. He was wearing a lot of leather and a neck belt.

"Hello, your Hitomi right? Here all by yourself?" the boy asked.

Hitomi nodded a small nod, not really knowing what to say. She just continued staring at him.

"I'm Yami Motto, and these are my friends Joey, Ryou, and Anzu" he said as he pointed a thumb behind him.

Without warning, they all plopped down beside her. "Nice to meet you, we're all in your homeroom, isn't that great?" the brunette said. "You don't talk much do you?" The white headed boy asked. "Maybe she's just shy guys! Have no fear, Joey's here to make you laugh!" said a boy with a mop of blond hair. "Guys! You're scaring her! One at a time!" Yami said with grin.

Hitomi was confused. Why were all these people talking to her out of everyone else? Every school that she went to, she was a loner, she was independent. No one talked to her; she goes everywhere and does everything on her own. She liked it that way; she wants to keep it that way. She doesn't want anyone to really know her. But then again, maybe she could befriend these people, they seem nice enough. She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay? You kinda spaced out on us" Yami said.

Hitomi looked up at him. "I'm fine, sorry, I was just thinking of something..." she trailed off.

"She talks!" Joey said amazed "That's the longest sentence I ever heard you say!"

Anzu rolled her eyes and bonked him on the back of his head. "Leave her alone Joey!"

"OW! Anzu!" the blond whined while rubbing his head.

"Humph!"

Hitomi couldn't help but smile a small smile at their playful actions. 'Maybe I can open up to them...it would be nice to talk to someone once in a while...but do they even consider me as a friend?' she frowned at that thought. 'Maybe they are just pitying me...I knew it was too good to be true...'

"Hey, class is starting soon! Let's get going" Ryou said getting up.

Anzu's hand shot out in front of Hitomi. She winced and shut her eyes tightly as if she was going to hit her. This went unnoticed, except for Yami, who kept an eye on her. 'Hmm...That was a strange reaction' he thought.

"Common Hitomi, lets get to class" Anzu said with a big smile.

Hitomi wordlessly took her hand, and Anzu pulled her up. The two girls walked side by side into the school with the three boys trailing behind them. "We're friends now, so we gotta stick together okay?" Anzu said excitedly.

"Friends?" Hitomi repeated. "Yup! Buddy buddy ya know? We're your new friends in this school, so you won't be alone anymore"

Hitomi stopped on her tracks. Her mouth curving upwards. For once in a long time, Hitomi smiled a true smile. She was very grateful.

"You have a nice smile Hitomi, you should smile more often!" Ryou said grinning at her. Hitomi blushed a little and ran to class along with her new found friends.

The end of the school bell finally rang. Hitomi walked out of the school along with her new friends. But was suddenly stopped by five bullies in front of them.

"Hey, pretty lady; you're the new kid aren't ya? How about you go out on a date with me and I'll leave you and your buddies alone?

"Back off you moron!" Yami said angrily

"Why you! What the hell did you just call me you freak?!" Yami smirked and was about to reply when Hitomi's arm stopped him and pushed him back.

"Don't bother" she whispered

They ignored them and tried to walk around them but they continued to block their way. "No one ignores me!" the leader said "You must have a death wish!"

Something flashed in Hitomi's crimson eyes, her eyes darkened, almost black colored, and she narrowed them dangerously. Yami and Ryou stared at her, sensing a strange energy radiating off of her. "Get. Out. Of. My. Way." Hitomi said in a low threatening tone. Her friends were getting freaked out. They have never seen this side of her before.

"Is that a challenge I hear?" the bully said laughing "haha! What can a wimpy thing like you do to us?"

'What is this feeling? I can't shake it off...it feels so...so familiar...Hitomi seems so different then she was a minute ago...what happened?' Yami wondered.

Her friends slowly backed away from her as a mysterious little smirk appeared on Hitomi's face. As fast as lightning, a punch landed on the leader's nose, causing him to bleed and fall down on his knee. A crowd has already formed around them; they were all amazed at what Hitomi did with just one punch. No one had ever tried to stand up to the bullies before. Yami and they looked on with awe. "Wow! Hitomi can fight!" Joey shouted.

"You bitch! You broke my fucking nose!" the leader yelled holding his bloody face. Soon, the other four bullies jumped in, in attempt to help him. The guys were about to jump in as well but Hitomi told them to stay back. Doing a black flip, and landing behind a bully, she jumped kicked him and elbowed the one that was charging towards her. After a couple of minutes, the bullies scrambled away in shame "We'll get you for this you bitch!" they yelled in the distance. Hitomi's eyes changed back to they're original color. Feeling exhausted, she fell on her knees. Screams erupted from all around her. Everyone was cheering for her. Yami went over and helped her up. "Wow Hitomi! You beat all those losers all on your own, and coming back out with barely a scratch on you!" Joey yelled excitedly.

"It was nothing...I don't know what came over me..." Hitomi said quietly looking down.

"Nothing? You creamed them! Where'd you learn to fight like that? It was amazing!" Ryou said

'It is something I have to know...in order to survive...' she said to herself

"I...I gotta go guys...can't be late...cya tomorrow..." she said quickly as she ran down the street.

"Aw, I still had more questions! That was so cool!" Anzu squealed happily.

"Hey! Yami, buddy! What's up man, you haven't said a word!" Joey said, playfully punching Yami's shoulder.

"Ryou...did you sense that?" Yami asked

"I did...it was a strange energy coming from Hitomi"

The other's looked confused. "Guys, what are you talking about? What strange energy? Did we miss something?" Anzu asked confusedly.

"Huh? Oh nothing. Maybe it was just a fluke... or something else..." Yami trailed off

"Yeah..."

'I'd have to keep a close eye on her' Yami said to himself 'they're more to her then meet the eye...I'm sure of it...'
