First day at a new school was going to suck. Kit and I had lost control over of our demons over in America so we had to change countries so we weren't hunted down and put in Area 51. So ma and pa decided to take the job that he had been offered in Japan and we moved there during the middle of the school year. We had been adopted into the same family since we were youkai. Ma and Pa were rulers of somewhere but tried to make life normal for us.
Kit had waist-length black hair that went along with her darker skin and dark brown eyes. She was about 5'4'' and very slim for a 16 year old girl. She was quiet but always went out with me when I went to parties.
Her demon form was that of a black fox with the tips of the tail, paws and ears red. Red markings outlined her eyes and on her shoulders were a swirl that went back to her spine where two strips ran down to her tail on either side of her spine. On her hind legs, were more red swirled markings. In that form she stood four feet high in her smaller form and twelve feet in her larger form. Her fox eyes were the color of turquoise and in the center of her brow was a crescent moon with a full moon in the center. On either side were two waves and dots at the ends on her temples. When her concealment was not active, those markings were visible.
I was the party animal, one of the popular girls in America. I had light brown waist-length hair and eyes the color of the sea, a blue that always seemed to change. I stood 5'3'' and always wore heels to make me taller. I was 17 and lighter than my sister.
My demon was a wolf that was black and had tribal markings that looked like flames and were blood red. They went from the tops of my hands, up my arms and across my shoulders then down the center of my spine and swirled over my lower back to fall down the sides of my legs. On my brow was a four pointed Celtic knot with two sets of vines that swirled across my brow and ended at my temples. My two tails and molten gold eyes were always ready for a threat when I was in that form.
The day we moved to Japan, Pa made us wear a diamond rings on our right hand that would conceal our Jaki and any characteristics that we held in our human form like our claws, fangs, and pointed ears. The school was some private school so we had to wear uniforms but we didn't care.
I wore a black-top with red skinny jeans and white four inch stilettos and Kit wore a dark brown halter top with black pants and black flats. The moment we entered the school's gates, students stared open-mouthed at us.
"Is this how it always is when you get to school back in America?" Kit asked so low that the humans wouldn't be able to hear us.
"Yeah, pretty much," I smirked. "We promised that we'd stay together while we're here. That way it would be less chance of a disaster."
"Yeah and we'll be popular in no time," she growled. "I don't know if I can handle that."
"We are juniors, Kit and this time they'll acknowledge you as well. If not, then I stay with you on the sidelines. I don't need the popularity, it just finds me."
"Mia, are you sure? You wouldn't mind? I mean, you've been on top since middle school," Kit looked at me surprised.
"Yes, I'm sure, let's get our schedule and get to our classes."
Kit nodded and we walked inside to the office. Our first three classes were different; I had Literature, Physical Education, and Music Theory while Kit had Calculus, Language Writing, and Choir. Our two classes after lunch were the same, Art and History.
By the end of the day, I was about ready to kill someone and Kit was the only think keeping me together. We rushed out of the school and jumped onto the public bus to the mall, needing some down time. At the coffee shop I got a French Vanilla Latte and Kit got a Dr. Pepper.
"Mia, will you be able to survive school here?" Kit asked as we walked through the malls, passing stores and making sure to remember what stores we liked there for another time when we'd come back with money.
"I have to, Pa will not forgive me if I lose control again. We've had to relocate so many times because of me," I sighed.
"Yeah, but most times you were drunk," Kit pointed out.
"Still, they're tired of all the moving. It costs money that they are having issues with to keep us safe. Do you know how many times Pa has had taken punishments for our actions? We need to start paying attention and grow up."
"They're taking our punishments?" Kit gasped.
"How else do you think that we have survived with no scars living with them?" I stopped and looked at her.
"But…"
"Not here, Kit, don't you dare lose control here," I hissed as I saw her form shake. "Just because you're angry or sad, does not mean you get to start to change. We'll spar once we get home to shake off those emotions. Ma and Pa wanted to keep us safe no matter what. Look what happened to my real parents, they died because they tried to protect me so much because of what I did back then. Your parents at least knew what was best. Let's head home."
She nodded and I wrapped an arm around her has we left the mall. We decided to run home instead of use human technology and got home thirty minutes faster than it would have if we had taken the bus.
"Kit, Mia how was school?" Ma came out with a basket of wet laundry that she had to hang up.
"We had some minor issues but went to the mall and cooled off. Where would be the best place to train?" I asked. "I promised Kit that I'd work with her to work out some frustration."
"Now is not the best time, girls," Pa came out. "We have some Youkai lords coming tonight and you must prepare. There are clothes on each of your beds and there are two girls in each of your rooms to help you get ready for the night."
"But why?" Kit asked.
"It is tradition to greet a member of the Youkai Counsel back with a gathering of the lords and their mates. The four lords of Japan will be there plus the five other councilors. Go get ready; they'll start to arrive within the hour."
"Yes papa," Kit sighed and I pulled her inside.
"As soon as we can, we'll leave to go train. You know that I'll never break a promise to you kit," I spoke determined as we climbed the stairs to the third level.
"Yeah I know, but it's not that… It's the whole youkai gathering. What if I make a mistake and they get offended?"
"We haven't lived very long to be tried for mistakes because we haven't been taught on every single youkai custom. Just hold your head high and stay close to me for the night.
