Chapter 1: Welcome Newbie

She sat in the back of the class, staring at the kids converse before the bell rang. She turned her attention back to her wrist and the razor in the other hand.

The bell rang and everyone ran to their seats.

Hiko walked in and automatically looked at the group of boys on the far left of his desk.

"Give it," he commanded in a bored tone. "Do we have to go through this everyday? Why don't you do this to your first three teachers?"

Two of them walked up, one holding a magazine and another with a cell phone.

"Next time this happens, you'll have detention. And since I watch you juveniles, I'll get something out of it. You'll wash my car."

One of them murmured, "Bastard", under their breath. Hiko pretended not to hear it and disregarded it with a sigh.

"Turn in last night's homework to Sagara."

Sano stood up and walked around the classroom to collect the papers.

Hiko passed out the test he had graded and started his regular disappointment speech when he had to hand back disgusting test.

"As usual, Kamiya got the highest grade. Why are you hell raisers so disappointing?"

Some kid made a sigh.

"You should be the one dreading this talk. I do this every time wasting my voice because I care about you all. You should be more dedicated to doing your work than you are to sex and doing drugs."

Some of the girls in the middle coughed and looked down.

Hiko was still passing out the test and stopped when he got to Kaoru. She looked up feeling Hiko's presence not leave like usual. His black eyes pierced hers before he bent down to whisper, "I'm worried about you the most. Do you mind if I have a meeting with your parents?"

"You're going to have hard time doing that. I didn't see them this morning so they must not be home. And even if they were, they wouldn't show up if my life depended on it."

"Well, I'm going to try anyway", he replied, his eyes softening a bit.

"Go ahead, but you're wasting your time", she said curtly.

He walked away.

The kids began to toss stuff at her again. She was used to it and let her personal bubble engulf her again. She began to drift inside her little imaginary bubble. She thought of her dreams she had for years that start out with her running through a meadow on a sunny day smiling and laughing with friends and tumbling over in laughter. Well, that's how it starts then it changes up into a dark abyss of hatred swallowing her and shattering her heart.

'Why am I so freaked up!? I can't have a decent happy thought without it turning into something depressing. Was it because of what I did to Misao? It was an accident and I apologized. It's possibly karma after me.' She shuttered. 'I don't think was supposed to come out alive. That probably the reason I came out with my umbilical cord around my neck… WAIT! Shut up. Think happy thoughts. Thinking, thinking… nothing.'

A knocking at the door brought her out of her thoughts. A student with red hair walked in and went straight to the teacher. Hiko seemed to be chastising him about something, then he pointed to the only seat available. Hiko wasn't one for introductions.

Other girls just gawked at him. One even pushed her friend out the seat to make room for him. He helped the fallen girl back into her seat and smiled.

When he reached his seat, he pulled out the stool and situated himself in it. He turned to her and put his hand out.

"Hey, I'm-"

He abruptly stopped when she rolled down her sleeves and put her hood on and laid her head on the desk, looking away from him.

"I…uh… nevermind."

He stared at her for a couple minutes then turned to the board.

They sat in silence the rest of class, listening to Hiko talk about1964 Laws of Japan Legislation. He occasionally stopped to acknowledge talkers and assign detention then kick them out.
