Thud. AsakuraYoh twitched in his sleep as he felt something hit him sharply on the head. Thud. There is was again. Annoyed at having his sleep disturbed, he cracked open an eye. He blinked a few times to clear his blurry vision. At first, all he saw was a brown and white outline, but as his foggy vision cleared, he saw that he was looking at his sister, Kyouyama Anna. It took Yoh a few moments to comprehend the situation. Squeaking in fear, he bolted upright.

Crap, I'm so screwed, Yoh thought. His sister was not known for her gentleness and kindness, but for her intense training programs and her harsh manner. As he scrambled around, pulling on his school uniform over his undershirt and boxers, Yoh thought about the punishment he would soon receive.

Man, I was almost late for the first day of school! I knew I shouldn't have stayed up all night listening to music! Yoh thought bitterly. Quickly jamming his orange headphones behind his ears, Yoh stood stock straight in front of Anna, waiting for her to lecture and/or punish him. However, the penalty never came.

His sister merely fixed him with a hard, icy glare, sighed said, "Get a move on…NOW." Yoh stuttered a quick 'thanks' and rushed down the stairs, Anna following close behind. Anna whipped them up a quick breakfast and ushered him out the door. They had just moved to Tokyo and their grandparents had promptly enrolled them into the nearby high school, Spirits High. Yoh was currently a sophomore and Anna, a freshman (but definitely not to be trifled with). As they made their way to school, Yoh prayed that he would be able to make friends speedily.

Back in his hometown, Izumo, the Asakura household was known for having links with…spirits. They practiced being shamans, or people who could connect with spirits and ask them for guidance. They interpreted signs and read omens. Because of this custom, Yoh and Anna were shunned at school and given a wide berth. Students called them, "The Ghost Kids." Though Anna was adopted into the family and the two are not blood related, they shared a close bond, having lived secluded lives. Their parents, Anna's foster parents, traveled the world, searching for places where connection between the human and spirit world was the greatest. This left the two children in the care of their grandparents, Asakura Yohmei and Asakura Kino. After finding out that their grandchildren were not doing well at school, they had arranged for them to be moved to Izumo, where they could, hopefully, go to school without being rejected by peers.

Yoh rolled these thoughts through his head as Anna walked ahead of him with a brisk pace. They were complete opposites, Anna with her icy glare, cold tone, long, brown hair, and fast walk, and Yoh with his soft eyes, gentle voice, medium-length, black hair, and slow, but sure pace. They were both dressed in the school uniform, a white, collared shirt with green jeans for males, and a white, collared T-shirt with a green skirt for females. As they made their way to school, bags slung over their shoulders, they received curious glances from other pedestrians going the opposite direction. They could obviously tell the two were new in town.

Nearing the school, Yoh felt Anna stiffen and her walk became tense. He peeked over her shoulder, wondering if there were a lot of people, since Anna really hated large crowds. Sure enough, there was a mob of students in front of the school, waiting for its gates to open. They were all dressed in the same white and green clothing, but their expressions were all different. There were some with bold smiles and booming laughs, definitely nor their first year there so probably juniors or seniors. Many others had shy smiles and wary eyes, most likely the freshmen this year.

Just as the siblings reached the entrance, the doors opened and students poured in like waves crashing upon the shore, all eager to find out their schedules and who would be in their classes this year. Yoh saw Anna take a backward glance at him, then vanish into the crowd. Yoh smiled, because she was obviously excited. He did not hurry, but slowly made his way to the entryway. Following the throng of students, Yoh managed to find his way to the check-in counter, where they were supposed to pick up their schedules. He was greeted by a tall, broad-shouldered man with slightly-curled, long, black hair. The man smiled

"Good morning, young man, welcome to the first day of school. I am one of the school counselors, Kalim. May I take your order?" Yoh liked him immediately, because of his strong tone and honest eyes, plus he had a sense of humor.

"Morning, Kalim, my name's Asakura Yoh," he replied brightly with a smile of his own.

"Yes, let's see here…Asakura…Asakura…Asakura…" Yoh watched him flip rapidly through the giant stack of folders in the drawer below. "Here we are, Yoh," said Kalim, handing him his new schedule, "You're a new transfer student? I recommend that you ask around, because many students here would be happy to give you a tour of our school. It's easy to get lost and confused on your first day."

"Oh, thanks for the tip, Kalim. I'll see you around!" Yoh took his agenda and walked off, scanning his classes and rooms.

"So, what classes did you get?" Startled, Yoh look up and saw Anna standing right in front of him.

"Jeez, Anna, stop appearing and disappearing randomly like that, one day you're going to give me a heart attack!" Anna merely rolled her eyes and snatched the thin sheet of paper out of his hands. Speedily examining the document, she tossed it back to him. "Well?" asked Yoh.

"We don't have any classes together, but we have some of the same teachers," Anna said flatly.

"Oh," Yoh said, "well, at least this way we can try to make some new friends." Anna muttered something under her breath that Yoh couldn't quite catch. Before he could ask her what it was, the bell rang shrilly. Casting no glance at Yoh, Anna walked of promptly, her long hair trailing behind her. Blinking, Yoh stood there for a moment before looking down at his schedule, looking for his next class.

As he walked down the hallway, he heard footsteps thundering down the hallway. At first, Yoh thought it was just echoes, but the feet grew louder and louder. Suddenly, CRASH! A blur of blue collided into his side and he fell heavily onto his back. The other fell next to him, giving off a soft thud. Groaning, Yoh twisted to his side to see a blue-haired boy sitting upright next to him. He was wearing a loose white jacket with black lines crossed all over it, with a pair of black shorts. The boy shot upright and dusted himself off quickly.

Turning to Yoh, he exclaimed, "Sorry about that, dude, I guess I wasn't looking at where I was going." He held out a hand, Yoh took it, and was yanked off the ground.

"It's alright," replied Yoh after regaining his footing, "I wasn't really paying attention either. I'm Yoh by the way, Asakura Yoh. I'm new here. What's your name?"

"Ah, so you're a transfer student! That's awesome, man! My name's HoroHoro, just plain, old HoroHoro! Want me to show you around?"

"Oh, thanks, HoroHoro! Can you tell me where my first period class is? I seem to have gotten lost and I'm not too good at reading maps either…"

"Haha, no worries, buddy! It's always the same for newcomers! I came from the North during my freshman year and I got totally lost on my first day, too! Now let me see your schedule." Handing over his schedule, Yoh watched as HoroHoro read off the first line. "Hmm…first period class: English with Silva. Cool! That's what I have first, too! C'mon, let's go! It's this way!" HoroHoro whooped, dragging Yoh down the long hallway. Hihi, Yoh thought, I guess I've made my first friend! Even though he's a bit hyperactive, a friend's a friend!
