New Incomer

Chapter 1: Allies and Foes

That day was like any other day in the modern school of Zoanthrops. a boy with spiked up brown hair was sitting in the third seat of the second row. and a bit older then him girl, with strait brown hair held in two short ponytails, was sitting behind him. As for the perky girl with short sassy brown hair sitting at the first desk in the middle row, that was Uriko.

A man with: small glasses, a fit marshal arts type of body, and longer black hair, pulled back in a Chinese-ish ponytail. stood in front of the class. he was explaining about 'legends of the black Zoanthrope in the 14th century'.

That day was like any other day, except that there was a knock on the class door. the man with the longer hair headed to answer it. a lady with bluish-silver hair was there, she had chains incorporated into her clothes.

She whispered something to the longhaired man, he paused then nodded in understanding. he walked back to the front of the class, "May I have your attention every one" he said, making every one pop up from their slumped position.

The girl with the ponytails slapped the sleeping boy in front of her upside the head. he groaned as he woke up, but then quickly zipped his lips as he pretended to be very interested in what the professor was saying.

"We have a new student joining our class today, so please make her feel welcome" he announced, then signaled for her to come in.

A girl walked in. she had long black hair, a black bandana wrapped around her head, she wore dark colored clothes. "You may introduce your self," the teacher said.

She nodded politely at him then turned to the class, "Nezumiko Zoe, I just moved here with my father two days ago. and I was transferred to this school immediately. it's nice to be here"

"Well you can get to know your classmates later, during recess. but now you can take a seat over there, next to Nekoko Uriko" he said pointing at the girl with short brown hair.

She nodded slightly and did as he said. "Hiiii I'm Uriko" the girl said in a childish voice, drawing out almost every letter.

Zoe smiled palely, "I know the teacher just said that"

Uriko just smiled stupidly. The teacher was about to continue explaining the lesson, when the bell rang. All the students quickly jumped to their feet and rushed towards the class door.

"C'mon Uriko, aren't you coming?" a boy with spiky hair called to the eternally excited girl. a taller girl with ponytails standing next to him.

"See you la~ter Zoe~" Uriko smiled jumping up from her seat. "Wai~t!" she called out to her two friends who were walking away.

The classroom was now empty; Zoe sat quietly for a few minutes then slowly got up and ambled to the exit.

"Zoe" the teacher called in a calm voice, she looked. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll make lots of friends fast" he said with a kind smile.

She nodded her head slightly with a tired smile, then she walked out.

Next was lunchtime. she slowly walked towards a very secluded table at the back of the cafeteria; she sat quietly eating her lunch, until…

"So, what do we have here? Fresh meat?" she heard a snobby voice say, as a large black boot rested on the seat across from her.

She stared at the guy quietly. he had shoulder long silver hair, and icy blue eyes, clear pale skin, and an evil smirk. something what she'd call 'pretty boy' but that was no complement.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tong? I'd say with all the talking that pussy is doing she has about ten tongs" he mocked at her silent glares.

A boy with very spiky white hair, tan skin, and sword earrings giggled. while two boys, almost identical to each other laughed wildly. which reminded her of hyenas.

"Shut up you two!" the icy one ordered, "What is it? Aren't you afraid of me?" he turned back to Zoe.

She continued eating her food silently, ignoring him and his comments. Which apparently didn't sit well with him, "I'll show you to ignore me" he yelled lifting his hand to slap her.

But for some reason he didn't. She looked up at him, there was a another hand holding his arm. It belonged to a boy with brown hair combed back, with a long scar across his noose and forehead. Behind him stood a pretty girl with chestnut colored mid-back long hair. she had her arms crossed as she watched the situation with cold eyes, and a laid-back attitude.

"You leave her alone Xion" he said in a stern yet hyped-up voice.

The icy guy turned around, "And what are you going to do about it?" he challenged.

The brown haired boy jumped back, as did the icy guy. Tension spread through the air, some students started to crowd. it was obvious that a fight was going to breakout. Zoe continued eating her food quietly.

Suddenly everyone heard a roar. The students quickly scattered as a giant lion walked up to the two feuding groups. It stood in front of them for about a minute, then turned into a tall man with a scared eye and blonde-white hair and extra long sideburns. He put his hands on his hips, "What's the meaning of this? Xion leave right away, the same for you Yugo" he ordered in a firm voice.

The icy guy smirked haughtily. he peered at Zoe over his shoulder, "See ya around, girly"

Then he signaled for his minions to follow him as he cockily waltzed away. but there was one thing that caught Zoe's eye. when he passed the girl with the chestnut hair he smirked and whispered, "Nice to see you.. Nagi"

That was returned as an intensely murderous glare from the girl. but he just continued smirking meaningfully, until he was out of sight.

The older man watched for a moment, "You'd better stay out of trouble Yugo" he warned. then glanced briefly at Zoe before walking away.

"You're okay now, he's gone," the brown haired boy said with a smile, "There's no need to thank me" he added scratching the back of his head.

"I wasn't going to," Zoe said coldly, "I didn't need your help, I can tend to my self" she added standing up and walking away.

"Sheesh, what's her problem?"

Zoe sat under the large tree in the schoolyard. Darn it! The last thing she needed was to seem like a weakling, on her first day!

"Hey um… hey you!" she heard a girl's voice call from a distance.

Zoe turned around to see the girl with ponytails, the short boy with spiky hair, and the weird girl from class, running over to her. "Man, you're not an easy person to find" ponytails said with a smile, slightly panting.

Zoe just glanced at them blankly. "I'm Usagiko Alic, this is my half brother Bakuryu.. And long sleeves here is Nekoko Uriko, our friend\ weird neighbor" she said pointing at the mentioned people.

With the girl's comment, Zoe just noticed that the weird girl had extra extra long sleeves on her uniform. "We've met before" Zoe mumbled motioning at sleeves.

"Yea~h" Uriko answered, scratching the back of her head.

"You're.. Zoe, right?" ponytails said.

Zoe nodded slightly. "Okay well, my Zoanthrope is Rabit, Uriko the Cat, Bakuryu the mole" Alice said with a smile, then paused waiting for Zoe to tell them her Zoanthrope, but she didn't.

Bakuryu and Alice exchanged looks. "Well I'm going to get some juice, wanna' come Uriko?" Bakuryu said.

"Su~re," she jumped up, but then fell. "Me~ow.. that hu~rt" she moaned.

"C'mon Uriko" Bakuryu sighed dragging the girl away.

"Cat huh? Isn't she… a bit too much of her beast?" Zoe asked.

"Who Uriko?" Alice asked, "Nah, I think she was already like that" she giggled.

Zoe giggled back. "Oh so you can laugh" Alice smiled widely.

Zoe blushed, then stood up and dusted her cloths, "Sorry I was so cold to you, it's just that me and my dad move around a lot. I just got used to being the new girl so much, that I stopped trying to fit in"

Alice nodded in understanding, then smiled, "Well don't worry, you won't be the new girl for too long here.. um how about I introduce you to who's who"

"Kay"

"Well, let's start with the teachers. the class you came into was Torako Long's class, very nice man, gentle spoken, and a good teacher. he teaches History by the way.. He used to be the marshal arts teacher but then that changed. That brings us to the marshal arts teacher, Torako Shenlong. and as the name suggests the two are brothers. Long-Sensie being the older then his brother by one year. Shen-Sensie is the total opposite of his brother, he's a loud mouth showboating, impatient man.. don't tell him I said that. however he shares his brother's skill in marshal arts."

She paused to take a long breath, then continued, "then there is Raionko Gado. he's the teacher who stopped the fight earlier. he's our Zoanthrope control teacher, he's sort of the old wise man, but they say that he was the total opposite in his youth."

At that moment Bakuryu returned with Uriko. he was holding a box of orange juice, and Uriko had a bottle of strawberry milk. "Hey" Bakuryu greeted.

"Hey I was just telling Zoe about our teachers.." Alice told him.

"Well did you tell her about Busuzima-Sensei?" Bakuryu asked flopping down next to the rest of the group.

"I was getting there.." Alice huffed, then turned to Zoe, "Tokageko Busuzima is our Zoanthrope biology teacher, if you have any question about any part of a Zoanthrope, he's the person to ask.. Except that he's a bit… Uh.." Alice paused trying to think of a word to describe him with.

"Weird?" Uriko butted in, sitting in what seemed to be an uncomfortable position. with her knees in and her legs to either side forming a 'W' shape.

"No! that's…" Alice started.

"Total wacko?" Bakuryu suggested, slurping his juice.

"A bit Eccentric.." Alice said glaring at the two.

Bakuryu just shrugged, and Uriko seemed to be having difficulties understanding what Alice just said.

Alice ignored the two as she continued, "then there's Uranus-Sama, she's our school secretary, consultant, social worker, and sometimes substitute teacher. If you ask me, she's the one running the school. With out her we'd be doomed. She's a calm nice lady, but you don't want to get on her bad side.. There's rumors that she's with Long-Sensei but those rumors are yet to be confirmed."

She paused, thinking about somebody else to tell Zoe about. "Je…." Bakuryu started.

"Oh yeah and then there is Battuko Jenny," Alice interrupted, "she's our school nurse. most of the time she's friendly, but don't be fooled by that. she's impatient and has quiet a temper, try not to make her angry"

Through this Uriko was taking notes in a little pad, Alice sighed, "Uriko, you don't need to take notes, you know these people" she huffed.

"Oh yeah~" Uriko smiled, scratching her head.

Zoe gave her a weird look, this was one odd girl.

"And finally there is Ryoho-Sama he's the school principal. he's a very weird man, he's impatient, and not a very good listener. By the way he has these anger fits once in a blue moon, last time he destroyed half the cafeteria. keep that in mind. Also there's Kyubiko Mana. she's an odd little girl that follows Ryoho-Sama everywhere. I still don't know why, but I'm working on it. they're not blood related if that's what you're thinking"

Alice slumped back exhausted from talking. Zoe sat quietly thinking about what she just heard. "Did you tell her about the students yet?" Bakuryu asked flicking a bug off his pants.

Alice shook her head. "Okay then I'll…." Bakuryu started.

"No it's okay, I got it" Alice said, suddenly regaining her bearings. "Let's start with the jerks from the cafeteria; the one with smug attitude is Xion,"

Although all four of the boys fit that description, Zoe figured that Alice meant the icy one, "What's his beast?" she asked.

Alice exchanged looks with the other two, "Well we don't really know, but he is nicknamed the white Zoanthrope," she said.

"Oh" Zoe hummed.

"Although, he looks more like a cockroach to me" Bakuryo smiled.

"Anyway, the spiky haired one is Reiji; he's like the right arm henchman to Xion, but he'll still sell him out if he feels that he needs to. his beast is the Crow. The two other boys are twins. the one with the black hair is Zach, the brown haired one is Sora, they're mostly harmless. Their beasts are hyenas.

Then there's they boy that helped you, that's Ookamiko Yugo the wolf. he's kinda' dens if you ask me, but he's a good person. There's rumors about him killing a girl named Fox a long time ago, but I don't believe them. The girl that was with him is Nagi, I'd stay out of her way if I were you. she seems cold and emotionless most of the time, but she would bite your head of if you bug her. not literally of course but you get where I'm aiming at. The only person allowed to speak to her openly is Yugo.."

"But is there something between her and this Xion? I noticed that she wasn't acting normal around him" Zoe asked, thinking about the murderous glare Nagi gave him.

Bakuryu and Alice stared at each other, for a relatively long time. which made Zoe wonder, but in the end, they didn't answer her question. "Any way, there is one more person in that group, her name is Shina. she's a bit older then the rest, but she's really nice, and athletic. She's Gado-Sensei's non-daughter daughter.

There's two more people you should watch out for, Kumako Fumoi, and Ushiko Goro, the Bear, the Ox, in that order. They're basically the bullies of the school. you'd better stay out of there way if you don't want trouble. The rest of the school are pretty normal. you stay out of their way, and they'll stay out of yours."

"Hmm" Zoe thought over what she just heard.

"Umm Zoe?" Alice said in a low voice, looking over at Bakuryu.

"Yeah?"

"You never.. Told us your Zoanthrope" Alice said tilting her head.

"Oh" Zoe blushed, "It's kinda' embarrassing" she added rubbing her palms.

"Well what is it? Spit it out" Bakuryu said with a smile.

"Well it's.. *Whisper-Whisper*" Zoe answered staring down, blushing.

The other three looked at each other surprised; a dead silence took over for a moment.

….

"Bewahahahah" Bakuryu burst into laugh, falling back.

"Bakuryuu" Alice warned, but he wasn't listening.

"He~y if I'm a cat and you're a mouse.. Does that mean that I have to eat you?" Uriko pondered.

Zoe made a puzzled look at Uriko, and Alice sighed at her friend. she turned to Zoe with an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry.. I just.." Bakuryu forced out between giggles, "It' just.. With your firm exterior.. I thought you'd say a panther or something.. I just didn't expect a mouse"

"It's all right" Zoe sighed, "I usually get that reaction"

….

"Hey Zoe.. Would you like to…." Alice's sentence was interrupted by the sound of the bell.

Everyone jumped up. "What's next?" Bakuryu asked, stretching.

"Zoanthrope control class" Alice answered, Uriko nodded in agreement.

"How 'bout you Zoe?"

She pulled out the schedule she had copied; "Same as you" she said refolding the paper, and sticking it back in her pocket, "Gado-Sensei right?"

"Yeah"

Zoe walked into the class with her three pals. she was about to walk to where the others stood, when Gado-Sensei stopped her, "Hey you wait a second" he called.

She stopped and turned around to him.

"Zoe right? The new girl?" *Nod* "Well Zoe, I know because you're new you don't know this, but we have a certain school uniform here. it's specially designed by professor Busuzima. so that your clothes don't end up tattered after beasting"

She stared at him blankly waiting for his point, he pointed to a side room, "First years wear black, second yellow, and third white. so go pick a girls uniform that fits you, and get changed. fast"

She nodded then left to do as he said. a few minutes later she was changed, she kept her black bandana, and wore the turtleneck knee high dress, and combat boots, she was glad she got to wear black.

She hurried over to where her friends stood.

"Hi~ you look ni~ce"

"Shshhhh"

"Today we're going to put everything we learned so far into battle. both first year, and second year alike" Gado-Sensei said pacing in front of the students.

Sinkers and comments spread through the lineup.

"So, let's start shall we.. First battle between…. Yugo and Alice" the teacher decided with a grin. he signaled at them.

The mentioned people stepped foreword and faced each other. "Okay beast-up" the teacher ordered with a small smile on his lips.

A pinkish light enveloped Alice, and a bright yellow one enveloped Yugo. When the lights disappeared there stood a gray wolf and a white rabbit. the wolf howled in attempt to frighten the opponent but the white rabbit continued bouncing from foot to foot, holding her hands up boxing style.

"Ready.. begin" Gado-Sensei said, stepping back.

And the fight began.. Alice threw athletic kicks and punches at her opponent, and preformed high jumps equivalent to her rabbit appearance. But Yugo seemed to be the worst opponent for her. he quickly evaded all her attacks. then struck her once in the chest, sending her flying back and turning back into her human form.

Yugo turned back as well; he walked over to Alice and helped her up, "Sorry if I was too rough, you put up a good fight though."

Alice smiled out of courtesy, but then turned to Bakuryu mouthing a big, "OW"

"C'mon you two, we don't have all day" Gado-Sensei said hurrying them.

The two walked back to where their friends stood. "Next battle.. Hmm.. Reiji and Uriko.. step out you two.." the teacher ordered.

"Me~ow" Uriko moaned nervously.

The Reiji boy smiled confidently, and stepped into the battle ring. And with a little encouragement from her friends, Uriko did the same.

They stood face-to-face. Uriko humming nervously as she shifted from foot to foot.

"Well well, if it isn't the little feline"

"Feline?" Uriko growled, glaring at the spiky haired boy.

"Beast-up" Gado said.

"Ready?" Uriko taunted in a high-pitched voice.

"C'mon" Reiji taunted back.

Uriko was covered in a blue light and Reiji in white. A tawny cat and a crow appeared.

"Begin"

The moment Gado stepped out of the way, Uriko leapt onto the crow. Once he was on the ground, she jumped off. The crow quickly jumped to his feet, he flapped his wings and raised a few inches off the ground. The cat grimaced and hissed at him in response to that.

She pounced front again. This time she flipped over and stood on her paws, and twisted, scratching the crow with her feet claws. The crow jumped back and cawed at her, she ignored that as she leapt front once more. But this time failing to hit Reiji, who flew into the air. And fell onto her face, "Ahhh" she moaned, holding her head.

Reiji charged at the dizzy girl. Giving himself a boost with his wings, he kicked the girl in the stomach. Continuing with her until pinning her to the far wall. Uriko was forced back into her human form, and Reiji turned back willingly. and with that the battle was supposed to be over. However, Reiji kicked her in the stomach, then lifted her off the wall with his foot, and threw her onto the ground.

"Gado-Sensei!"

"Yes uh.. erm.. Reiji you know the battle was over why'd you do that?" Gado said.

Reiji just smirked as he whipped some blood that trickled out of a cut on his face. "Get up" he taunted the girl.

Alice hurried over to her friend and wrapped Uriko's arm around her -Alice- neck. And helped her up. "I'm taking her to nurse Jenny" Alice said helping Uriko out of the class.

"Huh? Yes yes.. You do that" Gado stuttered.

Zoe peered at him wondering if he was suitable for being a teacher. Reiji slowly walked over to his little group of evil. When he reached them, he high fived Xion with a content smug smirk. Zoe noticed that and glared at Xion, but he just continued smirking.

"Well now, the world did not end.. Let's continue with the fights," Gado said clapping his hands, "Let's see now.. Ah, Hiromi and Masa.. step forward you two and get on with the fighting"

The two mentioned stepped foreword, and did as he said. the battle ended with Hiromi the Monkey winning.

"Okay.. Next Zach and Sora. let's go, move it"

The two twins stood face to face. "Good luck brother" one of them said.

"You too brother" the other answered.

The two turned into two nearly identical hyenas. The only difference is in the shade of their fur. the battle quickly ended as a draw.

"Good fight brother hehe"

"You too brother haha"

"That's nice that's nice… Next.. Okay Nagi and Bakuryu"

"Good luck" Bakuryu smiled.

Nagi just stared at him coldly.

"Beast" Gado ordered.

Nagi was covered in a red light, Bakuryu in pale green. He turned into a giant brown mole with long claws. but as for Nagi, her right half was cover in this weird red, with a long red sword for her arm.

"Begin"

Zoe turned around; hoping to ask Alice about the meaning of this, but Alice was still at the school nurse with Uriko. Zoe sighed and turned back to the fight, that would just have to wait 'till later.

Bakuryu was charging at Nagi, but when she tried to hit him with her sword, he slipped between her legs. And bounced up from behind her. The fight was ended when Bakuryu pulled back with his right arm, then flung it front, hitting Nagi with the palm of his hand.

She flew front then turned back -Into her human form- when hitting the floor. Bakuryu spun back into his human form. "You alright?" he asked Nagi.

But she ignored him and walked by him and stood next to Yugo.

She was obviously not trying her best to win; she seemed to have very little interest in doing that. And Gado-Sensei seemed to noticed that too, and he seemed displeased with that as he stared at Nagi, who had her arms crossed, and her eyes closed.

"Okay who's left.. Oh yeah Zoe.. Hmm since you're the new girl, you can choose your own opponent. Someone who didn't fight yet" Gado said.

Zoe looked down the line, "I want to fight Xion sir" she said determinably.

"Ooohh"s spread through the little groups. As the boys laughed, belittlingly. "A-are you sure? Maybe you can fight.. Uh… yeah, Timothy is good" Gado stuttered.

Zoe didn't even turn to look at who Timothy -The frog- was, *Cough*Nerd*Cough* "No thanks sir, I'm sure" she said glaring at Xion.

"Alright then, here we go.. Zoe, Xion step forward"

"Hehehehehe" Xion giggled confidently, as his peers backed him up.

Zoe just walked to her place quietly staring Xion down.

"Beast-up you two"

Xion transformed with a white light, into what seemed to be a half-breed cockroach. But Zoe knew never to underestimate her enemies.. No matter how freakish or weird they may look.

Here Zoe hesitated for a moment. Whispers spread around, but she quickly made up her mind. And transformed enveloped in a grayish purple color. Everyone strained to see what the new girl's beast was. And immediately after the light faded off, everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh No" Gado sighed covering his eyes and shaking his head.

"A Mouse? Her beast is the MOUSE?" Reiji laughed, "This is going to be easier then I thought. You get her Xion" he cheered.

But the two weren't listening to the others, they were too concentrated on glaring at each other.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but… ready fight"

Alice crept into the class. She stood next to Bakuryu, "What's happening?" she whispered.

"Zoe asked to fight Xion" he whispered back, not turning away from the fight.

Alice had a mortified look on her face when she turned to watch as well.

The grayish purple mouse dashed back, avoiding the continuous slashes the white Zoanthrope was throwing at her.

She ducked then grabbed his leg with her tail and pulled. He fell onto his back. The mouse then jumped into the air, and landed on his chest with both feet. She stood back hoping that that did the job. But the white Zoanthrope proved to be though. And a simple attack like that wasn't enough to force him back to his human form.

Xion slowly got up, and the two stared each other down. Suddenly Xion charged at Zoe. He swung his foot around on a ground level in attempt to trip the mouse, but she jumped into the air gracefully evading the attack.

She flipped in the air and landed about a meter and a half away from her opponent. But out of nowhere, Xion charged at her and elbowed her in the chest. She flew back and smashed into the wall. But relaying on nerve only, she was able to prevent transforming back to her human form. There was no obvious reason for resisting so hard; except that Zoe felt she had to prove her toughness. It was always that way.

She stood up slowly; focusing with all her power, she was able to balance herself. She quickly avoided two slashes from Xion, and then twirled in a round the house kick, successfully hitting him in the gut. He fell back then rolled onto his face. And got up slowly and his cyan eyes seemed to glare at her. Her wide onyx eyes glared back. The two bounced back into the fight.

In a few minutes, it was clear to the naked eye that the battle intensity was growing. The two opponents were lunging at each other time after time, each time seemed more serious then the previous one. Soon it was as if the two were trying to kill each other.

The two clashed in mid air and were flung back. They paused for a moment, then charged at each other one last time. This time both holding the deepest intention to kill.

But just as they neared each other, a lion jumped in between them, roaring he pushed them in opposite directions.

The two were forced back into their human form after exhausting their last bit of energy; the lion stared at the two for a moment before slamming his fist into his palm, transforming him back to his humansy.

Xion's icy blue eyes met Zoe's brown ones, as they glared at each other panting out of exhaustion. All the students commented to each other or let out some kind of gasp or whisper. Even Xion's group were exchanging surprised and confused looks.

Gado stared at the two for a moment, "Class dismissed" he ordered in a firm voice.

The students whispered with each other as the pushed through the class door. Xion and Zoe glared at each other for a few more moments before breaking the eye contact to go join their groups.

Zoe stood next to Bakuryu and Alice her head down, and her bangs covering her eyes. Bakuryu opened his mouth to comment, "Let's.. Just.. Go… Okay?" Zoe interrupted him, heading for the door.

Alice glared at Bakuryu, then hurried after Zoe. "Wh- what? What did I say?" Bakuryu shrugged running after the two girls.

"How's Uriko?" Zoe suddenly said, severing the loud vale of silence that wrapped the three.

Alice briefly glanced over at Bakuryu before quickly answering, "Oh she's alright, but Nurse Jenny said she should go home and get some rest. She was really upset"

"Why?" Zoe asked surprised, she didn't know anyone that would rather stay in school than go home.

"Oh she's kinda afraid of her mum" Bakuryu butted in.

"Why?" Zoe repeated even more surprised.

Bakuryu just shrugged.

….

"Hey guys I'm sorry if you think I went a bit overboard with that Xion guy.. I don't know what to tell you. That's never happened to me before.. But for some reason when I was fighting him.. Well I don't know, I couldn't stop" Zoe said, in a voice that sounded like she was partially thinking out loud and speaking.

The other two exchanged looks. "Ah it's okay.. Sometimes we all get the urge to rip that smug pretty boy Xion to bits anyway" Alice said, wrapping her arm around Zoe's neck.

Zoe glanced at Alice. she didn't really understand what Zoe was talking about, but she tried.

"Yeah and besides, you really did a good job at kicking his but!" Bakuryu said excited.

Zoe smiled faintly at the two, from the looks of things; these two were there to stay.

….

"So, what's next?" Zoe asked.

Alice looked at her wristwatch, "Well Kakashi-Sensei's math class, but there's still another 11 minutes till then.." she answered.

"Well since we still have time, I need to get something from my locker, you two mind?" Zoe said.

The two responded with a shake of their heads and shrugs, "Okay then, let's go."

"Uh oh" Alice whispered, "Trouble ahead" she said pointing.

"What?" Zoe whispered.

"You said your locker is number 313, right?"

"Yeah"

"Yeah well you're not getting your math book now" Alice pointed.

There were two big guys leaning against Zoe's locker; their white school uniforms indicated that they were 3rd year.

"Remember Fomoi and Guro? Well those are them" Alice said motioning at the two, "M-maybe we should come back later" she added.

"Yeah I agree with Alice. I don't like running from a fight, but I don't recommend fighting with these two.. Trust me" Bakuryu added.

But Zoe wasn't listening. She headed to the guys with determent steps. "Zoe~" Alice whispered, trying to call her back. But she didn't care.

The two guys were leaning on the locker with a laid-back attitude, their arms crossed. The one with the earrings snorted at some students as they passed by, causing them to run away with fear. They smirked confidently.

The last thing they would expect was the shorter girl dressed in black to walk up to them the way Zoe did.

"Excuse me.." she glared, "That's my locker you're leaning on" she said.

The two looked at each other with a mixture of surprise and belittlement and sarcasm in their eyes, "And what are you going to do about it? Little gir~l" said the one with an egg shaped head and a little bit of nest like hair at the top.

But Zoe didn't flinch at their vicious smiles and glares. a minute or so passed, Zoe not stopping her glares.

Suddenly the egghead one smiled and giggled, "You're okay kid" he said ruffling her hair, "I like you're courage.. C'mon," he signaled to his friend to leave, "get out of her way, would ya'"

They walked away. "That was so cool!" Alice exclaimed hurrying towards Zoe, "I can't believe you stood up to them like that!" she added.

"Yeah, now you're friends with, or at least approved by, the two biggest bullies in the school" Bakuryu noted, "if you keep this up you're going to have a really easy stay at this school"

"That's what I'm counting on" Zoe smirked, opening her locker, "That's exactly what I'm counting on."

A\N: I know my chapters are way too long, but I hope you enjoyed it any ways. Please don't be afraid to criticize, and don't forget to comment. Thanx a million.
