"We're finally at our new school!" said a girl with shining skyblue eyes, and soft purple hair, that was held up in pigtail braids, with long bangs covering her right eye. The girl was wearing the Seiyo Academy uniform, and a set of transparent black tights.

Behind her was girl with bright golden, cat-like eyes, and waist length black hair that held purple streaks in her bangs, that like the other girls, covered her right eye. She stood sighing and shaking her head. She looked around the same age as the first girl, and was wearing the same uniform, with silver cresent moon charm, hanging from a red ribbon choker. The first girl was jumping up and down excitedly.

"Geez, Kotomi, calm down, it's just a school" said the second girl, as she walked closely behind the jumping girl.

The jumping girl, Kotomi, turned around and stuck her tongue out at the other girl. "But this school has such a better reputation then Kikyo Elementary, Mika!" Kotomi said giggling. "And besides Mizu, look at it! It's so much more amazing than Kikyo could ever hope to be!" Kotomi coo'd as she turned into the court yard, but she froze seeing all the students the school held, easily four times more than their old school. 'There are so many people...' Kotomi thought and she dropped her head and looked at everyone from under her side bang.

Mika walked up behind her. "Yeah, only because it's not up in flames" Mika said, stretching her arms above her head. Kotomi looked over and gave a skeptical look. "Hey, Kotomi-tsuin, I told you! I didn't do it! I promise!"

Kotomi looked unconvinced but shrugged it off and looked around the school yard from under her bangs. "I'm not saying anything..." Kotomi said reverting to her normal shy character, as she looked up at the massive school.

"It's so big..." Mika muttered under her breath as the girls stood still at the school gate. Kotomi was missing with the hem of her uniform skirt nervously. While Mika was staring at the school Kotomi was looking at the number of students in the yard, and Mika followed her glance. "So many..." she whispered.

Kotomi slipped behind Mika and hid. "I... I don't think I.. I can't do this..." Kotomi stuttered out. Mika turned around and grabbed the purple haired girl's hand.

"C'mon Tomi, we're the Blood Twins! We can do it together, like always!" Mika said with a bright smile on her face. Kotomi half smiled back but then looked around again.

There were so many students in the school. Kotomi was nervous that she would make a mistake, trip or something. Kotomi bit her lip and looked up at Mika through her bangs.

"Chou-chan, you scaredy butterfly!" Mika couldn't hold back the small laugh at her sister. "C'mon!" Mika said, and started to drag Kotomi through the front door of the school. Kotomi didn't resist, and with her free hand, gripped the bottom hem of Mika's uniform coat. Mika rolled her eyes but kept dragging her twin along. Mika giggled lightly and whispered so only Kotomi could hear. "We're so lucky we skipped a grade, and are in sixth grade! We are so smart!" Mika was smiling widely and watching students shuffle into their class rooms.

"I-Its embarrassing..." Kotomi whispered back, she was getting a few odd stares from other students.

"It's ok Tomi-chou! But remember. We're telling everyone we are twelve, right?" Mika turned her head back to smile at Kotomi, whom was biting her lip again. "Got it, KomiTomiButterfly?" Mika asked again.

"G-Got it..." Kotomi answered, holding Mika's hem tighter.

"Ok! Now off we go!" Mika said, and started pulling Kotomi inside again. "This time I... I mean, the building wont burn down!" Mika said while sweat dropping as she almost blew her secret. Kotomi was still embarrassed, so she was biting her lip, and was light red in the face. "And stop biting your lip! It's not cute! I mean... um... it makes your face look weird..." Mika laughed nervously. Kotomi pouted and breathed slowly. Mika stopped, turned around and hugged her twin. "And who knows. You may find a cute boy in our class" Mika winked and laughed softly.

"M-Mika-tsuin!" Kotomi squeaked and she turned a dark scarlet red. Mika stuck her tongue out and then led Kotomi to the door of the sixth grade Star classroom.

"Star class, here we are!" Mika said as she reached to open the door. Kotomi just messed with her skirt. Mika sang softly, "Twinkling like the little star, We'll be seen both near and far!" than slid the door open and dragged Kotomi inside. "Hello Star class!" Mika yelled, and practically the whole class gave her weird looks. Kotomi blushed deeper and looked at the ground. Nikaidou-sensei turned towards the girls and blinked.

"Oh, Hello you two must be the transfer students I was informed of this morning. Please come in and introduce yourselves" He said as he looked at the girls with a smile. Kotomi bit her lip again, and Mika stood front and center.

"I'm Blood Mika-Zuki and this is my sister Kotomi. We're twins, and we just moved here with our Mother, because she got an offer to be the boss of a Verterinary clinic here in Seiyo" Mika said, not effected by the stares from the class. Kotomi looked out from under her bangs at the class, analyzing the kids' faces.

"Welcome both of you. Mika-Zuki-san, you will sit behind Himamori Amu, and Kotomi-san, behind Mashiro Rima" Nikaidou-sensei said with a goofy smile.

"Sensei, It's Hinamori! Hi-Na-Mo-Ri" Said a pink haired girl, that Mika and Kotomi both guessed was Hinamori-san. The girls of the class had turned to her with sparkling eyes. And they all chanted together.

'Cool an' Spicy!' Mika stared at the class as if they were from another planet, and Kotomi's hidden face mirrored that look. Mika took Kotomi's hand quickly and navigated threw the students to their seats. Both sat down and looked around. Mika turned to the boy next to her.

"Hi!" She said, and smiled warmly at the boy. He only half smiled and scooted his desk away slightly. Mika's face fell. Kotomi wasn't having much luck either.

'Kaa she's so pretty...' Kotomi though to herself as she looked at the back of Rima's head. Suddenly, out of no where, Rima spoke.

"Why are you staring at me?" She asked without turning around. Kotomi blushed three shades of pink and looked down.

"S-Sorry..." she whispered and looked over at Mika.

"You too?" Mika asked, referring to not having any luck talking to somebody. Kotomi just nodded, and both twins pulled out the new notebooks their mama had given them this morning.

A few hours later school was over and the twins were packing up their things. They were the last two people in the class room. Kotomi was closing her journal, and Mika was waiting for her, so they could leave to walk home.

"Those kids were jerks" Mika growled as the twins walked out of the classroom, and towards the front doors. "I thought making friends would be easier here! I mean, look at us!" Mika was ranting about how they were totally cool enough to at least make one friend on their first day of school. She was so busy ranting that she didn't hear Kotomi call her name until the eleventh time. "Yeah butterfly?" She asked. Kotomi pointed out in front of them.

"Look at the students in capes!" Kotomi was pointing straight at the Guardians, though she didn't know that at that point. "Two of them are in our class, and Hinamori-san is with them too!"

Mika looks at the students in capes and her eyes visibly sparkled. "How Kawaii, I want a cape..." Mika whined softly, earing a few looks from students walking past, she turned light pink and scoffed "I mean, how dorky..." Mika crossed her arms and Kotomi giggled. The other students were still giving Mika weird stares, so she glared at them, and they all turned away and left. Kotomi looked at the ground as Mika grabbed her hand and started dragging her home. "C'mon. I hate this place"

Kotomi looked up at her twin, then back at the ground. "Me too..." she whispered and both twins stalked off school property, and headed back to their new house, in yet another city they believed wouldn't want them.

That Night

Mika's Room

Inside her room, that was right next to Kotomi's, Mika was curled up on her bed, silently crying. Her room was filled with a desk, a laptop computer, her bed, a walk in closet and a large pile of stuffed animals in the corner, a dresser, a bedside table, and a few scattered boxes containing her clothes and belongings she had yet to unpack. She made herself quiet, so she didn't worry Kotomi. Mika looked up from her huge cat plushie that she was using to muffle her sobs, and looked out her large window. "I hate being so loud and un-cool... Why can't I be nice and quiet? I wish I was a better me..." and with that Mika collapsed back into her cat plushie, and silently cried herself to sleep.

Kotomi's Room

Kotomi's room was identical to Mika's, except everything was the reverse. Kotomi was sitting up against her head board, her knees pulled to her chest. She was looking out her window, watching the stars twinkle in the sky. "Why am I so shy around any one but Mika? Why can't I just say what is on my mind?" Kotomi whispered then buried her head in her knees. "I wish... I wish I was braver and happier, maybe then I could make some real friends..." Kotomi then slipped under her black sleeping bag that was unzipped like a quilt. She buried her face in her pillow and soon fell fast asleep.

Neither girl knew what the next day would bring, but they both fell asleep, dreaming of their life when they were five, being thrown up in the air by a man with skyblue eyes, and dark blue hair. The next morning Kotomi was awakened by a loud scream from her sister's room. She jumped up and bolted into the room connected to hers.

"Mika! Whats wrong?" Kotomi asked as she rushed over to her sisters bed. Mika's eyes were wide, and she was pointing to her bed. Kotomi turned to look, and there, on Mika's sheets, were two... "Eggs?"
