The Midnight Court
Chapter One: Tanya Kenji
Tanya shifted her bookbag from her right to left shoulder and nervously looked over the school. There was no way she could do this, I mean after all she was from America and the other students are from Japan. What if they all hate her? Taking in a deep breath Tanya walked towards the huge school.
Students pushed past her trying to get into the building before the bell rang; she dodged most of them not wanting to get on their bad side. Tanya sighed and headed towards where her locker was.
She got the last book she would need out of her locker and was about to get her notebook out when someone slammed her locker close. The sixteen-year-old girl spun around on her heel finding five girls standing around her.
"Well, well, well if it ain't Miss America." One girl sneered.
"Uh..um..." Tanya stuttered her hands gripping her books.
"So you think your better then us don't you?" Another girl asked nastily.
"N-no." Tanya said backing up into her lockers.
"I think you do." The first one said, "And now we have to teach you a lesson."
Tanya whimpered as the five girls moved in on her.
"HEY!" A loud voice erupted.
The five bullies turned around to be met by a tall sandy blonde boy, and a girl with long aqua hair.
"Back off." The blonde growled.
"Gomen nasai Haruka-san." One of the girls said then motioning to the others they ran off.
The aqua haired one watched them leave before turning back to Tanya, "Are you ok?"
"Y-yeah I th-think so." Tanya stuttered.
The blonde one turned back to Lea, "You sure?"
"Yes.." Tanya said hugging her books tightly to her chest, "T-thank you, I'm Tanya Kenji...the new transfer student."
"I'm Ten'oh Haruka." The blonde said shortly.
"Kaioh Michiru." The aqua haired one said a bit more nicely.
"It's...nice to meet you." Tanya said smiling nervously.
"Yeah you too, well do you want us to walk you to your class?" Haruka asked flicking a piece of his blonde hair out of his eyes.
"Um...uh you don't have to."
"No but we want to." Michiru said kindly.
Tanya bowed her head and softly muttered, "Thank you."
"No problem." Haruka said gruffly before starting to walk again taking long strides with his long legs.
Michiru smiled over to her before motioning her to follow, "What class do you have first?"
"Language."
"Good that's what Haruka and I have first too." Michiru beamed.
"Umm Michiru-san?" Tanya looked unsure over to Michiru.
"Yes Tanya-chan?"
"Not to be rude or anything...but is Haruka female or male?"
Michiru grinned softly, "Female..."
"Oh..." Tanya blushed a deep scarlet bowing her head again.
"Don't be embarrassed I'm sure you thought she was male...mostly everyone does."
"I can see why." Tanya mumbled.
Michiru suddenly stopped and grabbed Tanya's elbow making her halt to, Michiru looked at Tanya as if she was concentrating, "Is it just me or do you hold a starling resemblance to myself?"
The aqua haired beauty looked over Tanya again, she had dark blue wavy hair that reached her shoulders, smooth ivory skin and sapphire colored eyes. Tanya gave her a small smile, "It's not just you Michiru-san I think I do kinda look like you."
Michiru nodded before giving her a funny look, "You know Japanese?"
"Only a tiny bit, I studied some before I came here."
"Ok, well this is it." Michiru announced turning into an open doorway, Haruka was already inside and sitting in her desk.
"You can sit by Haruka and me if you like." Michiru offered, before Tanya could refuse she pulled her over to where they were sitting.
"Ruka-chan you should've waited." Michiru scolded sitting down.
Tanya nervously sat down besides her, looking around the room for any kind face. Her sapphire eyes landed on a tall girl with short silver blonde hair, Tanya frowned thinking the girl seemed familiar and looked somewhat like Haruka.
"Strange." She spoke lowly but somehow Michiru still heard her and turned around.
"What's strange?"
Tanya's head snapped up, "Oh, nothing Michiru-san."
Haruka gave her the same funny look she had received from Michiru, "You speak jap-"
"A little but not that much. I learned some before I came here." Tanya said in a distant voice turning her head back to the silver haired girl.
The silver haired girl suddenly stood up, turned around and walked over to the place where Michiru, Haruka and Tanya were seated. She smiled a sarcastic dry smile and bent down looking Tanya squarely in the eyes with her own cold stormy blue eyes.
"Looking at me were you?" She asked cocking her head.
Tanya's face grew a deep red and she stumbled for an answer, "Well...uh..I...you see, I mean...uhh."
"Stop giving her a hard time Callisto." Someone said coming up from behind her pulling up the girl by the collar of her shirt.
"Chill Lea I'm just asking her why she was looking at me." The silver haired girl named Callisto snapped hastily.
The other girl had her light brown hair golden highlights streaking it pulling back into a braid, and deep green/gray eyes, she rolled her eyes, "Just leave her alone Callisto, she's new."
"Yes but she should still answer the damn question." Callisto said hotly causing the other one named Lea to raise an eyebrow before stepping back.
Callisto let out an angry sigh before turning back to face Tanya, "Now...like I was saying. Why were you looking at me?"
Haruka had now stopped her conversation with Michiru to watch Callisto and Tanya her eyes darting from one to the other, Tanya pulled a hand through her silky blue hair, "Uh...I just thought you looked alot like Haruka-san!"
Haruka's eyebrow twitched at this, she looked at Tanya closely before glancing back at Callisto, and she looked at her for a moment before shaking her head snickering.
"Really?" Callisto asked folding her hands over her chest.
"Yes really."
"Ok the girl has told you To-chan, now leave them alone!" Lea said pulling on Callisto's arm until she finally walked back over to her seat with Lea.
"What was the all about Tanya-chan?" Michiru asked quietly.
"Nothing...nothing." Tanya replied hastily.
The bell rang and a couple of moments later the sensei entered the room. Tanya concentrated her eyes on the front and with Michiru looking at her uncertainly class began.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Tanya shifted from one foot to another waiting patiently in line for lunch. Michiru and Haruka both passed by her, Michiru stopped and looked at her smiling, "You sure you don't want to sit with us Tanya-chan? We have more then enough room."
"No..really it's fine. Anyway I don't want to be a bother and hang on you guys like a love sick puppy or anything." Tanya said.
Michiru blinked before shrugging and heading of to the table that Haruka was at, "Ok Tanya-chan."
After getting her lunch, Tanya stood frozen in spot looking around for any inviting faces. Suddenly she saw Lea waving her eagerly over, Tanya cocked her head and pointed to herself. Lea laughed and nodded still waving her arms. The blue haired goddess's face broke into a smile before she bouncily walked over to where Lea and a whole bunch of other girls were sitting.
"Hi, sorry for about earlier. Callisto can get a little extreme." Lea said shooting a glare at Callisto who was sitting at the end of the table, "But anyway I was wondering if you'd like to sit with us."
Tanya nodded slowly, "Sure."
"Great, then take a seat and I'll introduce everyone..but first thing...who are you?" Lea asked as Tanya took a seat next to her.
"Tanya Kenji."
"Ok then Tanya here is everyone." Lea said clapping her hands together, before pointing to a girl with black hair pulled into one odango, bright red highlights were visible, and she had deep amber eyes, "That is Sito Area." She pointed to another girl with long golden honey blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes, "Helinton Shawna." She moved to the next one who had chin length powder blue hair and big sky blue eyes, "Kartay Atari." The next one had long white hair and mysterious silver eyes, "Carly Jade." The next one had shoulder length violet hair streaked with black and dark blueberry colored eyes, she looked younger then the rest "Chous Fauna." Next she pointed to Callisto, "And Haiku Callisto and I'm Turniy Lea."
"It's very nice to meet you Tanya." Jade said smiling warmly.
"Yeah welcome to Tokyo." Area grinned, she grabbed onto Fauna's arm, "Oh yeah and if your wondering Fauna here is only 14 but she skipped up some grades cause she was so smart."
Fauna snatched her arm away glaring at Area before turning to Tanya, "Hi."
"Hello." Tanya spoke slowly to all of them.
"What's the matter?" Shawna asked leaning over to she was face to face with Tanya, "You look sick or something."
Tanya laughed, "No...just feeling weird."
"Bout' what?" Shawna asked still having her face close to Tanya's.
"Umm you look familiar or something." Tanya said leaning backwards but that only caused Shawna to move closer, Tanya bent farther back but reluctantly fell out of her seat. Shawna grinned.
"Whoops."
Tanya muttered some not-so-nice things before getting back up in her seat. Shawna sat back down in hers giggling. But Jade looked in deep concentration her eyes glued on Tanya finally she spoke but very softly, "We look familiar?"
Tanya shrugged, "Yeah I guess."
Jade looked at her closley, then suddenly her eyes grew wide dawning in what looked like realization. She blinked before shaking her head and blinking again. Callisto who had been silent finally snapped, "What in hell is wrong with you Jade?"
"Nothing." Jade said pushing back her white hair, the mysterious eyes still on Tanya.
Callisto looked at her before turning her head to look back out the window, "Baka."
Jade gave Callisto a death glare before looking back over at Tanya again, "Well now that you mentioned it-"
"What that your a Baka?" Callisto snickered, but shut up when Jade looked over her way, her silver eyes narrowed.
"Like I was saying, you look a little farmiliar too."
Tanya nodded simply, and was quiet as the rest of the group broke into a conversation. She did her best to listen to what everyone was saying but she couldn't shake off the eerie feeling that seemed to stick on her like glue.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Well that's it for Chapter One folks! Don't worry though I'll have Chapter Two up soon. Suggestions, comments or flames are all welcome!
