Chapter 1- the new student
The halls of Annapolis High emptied out quickly as two girls came down the hall to their fourth period class. The one on the left had short brown hair. She was wearing boys clothes and had some of the things you'd see on a biker on her jeans. That was Nick .She was the most feared person in Annapolis High next to the creepy art teacher Mr.Podlinsky. Walking next to her was her friend Cassandra. Cassie ,as she liked to be called, was wearing her usual high heeled black boots like Sailor Saturn's. The black denim jacket she was wearing matched the rest of her black attire which consisted of a pair of black denim jeans with a chain on the end and today a black tank top with a glittering red rose. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail as usual ,just like her favorite heroine, Sango, from Inuyasha. Just as they were about to come to their final class before lunch, they heard a noise behind them. Turning, they saw a boy being followed by a bunch of the all famous preps of Annapolis High being led by the biggest one of the bunch, Ashley Laurilla.
Nick just groaned and shook her head and turned to go into room 202 which was her history class that she had with Cassie. Cassie however ,grabbed Nick by the arm and said "C'mon ,we should help the poor guy out. After all, we used to have the same problem once." Nick sighed in resignation as the two turned to get rid of the roadblock .One glare from Nick sent the preps running in the opposite direction as Cassie extended her hand to help the poor guy to his feet. The aforementioned person accepted Cassie's help gladly as he clambered to his feet and dusted himself off "Wow they were bad in Japan but here too? Don't I ever get a break anymore?" he murmured as he turned to thank the two girls Cassie put on a genuine smile as she said "You're new here aren't you?" "I'm Cassie and this is my friend Nick. " She gestured to her friend ,but found herself being grabbed by Nick by the arm and running down the hall. "What the heck is going on Nick?" Cassie asked irritably. "MORE FANGIRLS!!" Nick yelled as they continued to run down the hall to Mr.Podlinsky's room. They ducked inside and Cassie put her ear to the floor. The fan girls were there for a minute and gone the next. The young man stood and offered his hand to Cassie ."I'm really sorry that I didn't introduce myself sooner. I'm Kurama." At his words Cassie turned to look at Nick and mouthed the words " There's no way. Right?" Cassie turned back to Kurama and said "How 'bout all three of us go back to my house and settle for a movie and some down time?" Kurama looked a bit doubtful but Nick said "All Right! Let's go !" The three of them took off for Cassie's house that was just down the road from the school.
"Thankfully my parents are out for the next week and a half so we won't be disturbed." Cassie said as she flounced down in the armchair with a big bag of Doritos and a bottle of Coca -Cola next to her. Nick popped in the movie, " Inuyasha, Affections touching across time" ,and Cassie tossed her spare Inuyasha quilt to Nick and her Hogwarts quilt to Kurama they all settled down to watch the movie .
About halfway through the movie, Cassie went to stretch and suddenly felt a stream of blood trickling down her neck. "Damn that idiot Seiryu ,must've reopened when I went to stretch. Oh well" Cassie excused herself to the bathroom and proceeded to clean the wound on her neck. She was having trouble wrapping this particular wound for some reason and soon she was entangled in a mass of gauze. She had accidentally left the door open which was much to her disadvantage as she soon tripped and fell right on her left ankle which she had injured in a battle against Genbu last month. Kurama and Nick heard the thump at the same time and before Nick could even move ,Kurama was at Cassie's side. Cassie looked up at him, eyes wide with fear and pain.
He cradled the good side of her neck with his free hand and said "Please ,don't be afraid of me .I just want to help you." She looked up at him and smiled slightly .He gently picked up the remainder of the roll of gauze and helped her finish wrapping it As she went to stand ,she faltered against the edge of the tub and said, "I'm sorry, I fell on my ankle that I 'd previously injured in a soccer match last month ."She painfully limped out to the recliner and sat down as Nick tossed her an ice pack for her ankle ."That wound doesn't look too good Cassie." Kurama said as he waved a hand at the wound on her neck "Yeah Cass, how'd you get that wound anyway?" Nick asked ,genuinely curious. "Well I…"Cassie began. Suddenly she fell out of the side of the armchair .Her face was pale as a sheet and she was as cold as ice. Sweat was running off her face and she couldn't breathe "Cassie!" Kurama cried ,running to the fallen girl's side . "CASSIE!"
