My second story i have been commenting about in my author's notes (does anyone read those? seriously...) this one is a bit different from the last, a bit happier may i say, and a friend of mine helped me with various parts of it. (though i kinda changed a few parts that she wrote to make the story flow better) the first chapter isnt very good, and may even get rewritten, but the story itself i like. (btw, if u dont like tyki x oc fluff in the future, u may not like the story...its pretty far in the future though...)
Shadow stared up into the clouded sky; something ominous was in the air. Akira stood next to her, looking calmly at her rival, not bothering to ask if she was OK, because her question would have gone unanswered.
"We should get to class Kage-chan." Akira said, putting a hand on the shorter girl's shoulder.
Shadow's head snapped over to her friend, slightly dazed. Why was she so out of it? Nodding slightly, she bent down and picked up the backpack, slinging it over her shoulder, and leading the way into the building.

"Allen?" Lenalee asked worriedly to the younger boy. He was shivering, his face locked in fear as he looked at the envelope in his hands.
"WHY??" he screamed, causing Lenalee to cover her ears.
"Allen, what is it??" Lenalee screamed, grabbing the boy's shoulders and shaking him slightly.
"L-l-look…" he stuttered, shivering slightly as he handed her the note.
Lenalee took it and paled.
Lavi finally ran into the room, ready to whack something with his hammer, when Lenalee began reading it aloud for the older boy to hear.
"Dear Mr. Walker, we understand you are the apprentice of General Cross. We ask you sincerely and apologetically to pay these debts in his name; we are sorry if this inconvenienced you in any way. Also, please have this amount in by the end of the month."
"So many zeros…" Lavi said, now too, pale faced.
Allen was shivering in the corner, cursing the man over and over again. Lenalee smiled apologetically, before setting the note on the bed and walking over to the boy.
"Well, at least my brother has a new assignment for us. That will keep your mind off of it." she smiled this time reassuringly as the boy hesitantly stood with a bright smile.
"Yeah, good point." He said, rubbing the back of his head before grabbing his coat and walking out of the room.
"Ms. Kimiroo!!" came and elderly woman's bellow from the tenth grade science lab.
Said girl didn't budge from her place, her head buried in her pale arms, her breathing nice and calm. The elderly woman breathed in deep and raggedly before she walked back to the blackboard, ignoring the sleeping girl for now.
"Instead of dealing with Ms. Kimiroo's shenanigans today, I will be introducing two new students."
Every guy in the classroom stared at the beauty that walked in. her legs where long and slender, perfect in the mini skirt of the girl's uniform. Her hair was in pigtails, it was long and glossy looking, it shining almost green, though it was clearly black. Whispers broke out among the boys, bets taking place.
Most of the girls did the same thing to the boy, who blushed at the attention, and smiled happily back at them. He had neat silver hair and grey eyes. He too wore the normal uniform for males, but he had an odd tattoo over his left eye.
Akira looked from Shadow's sleeping form with a sigh, and to the board, soon regretting it as she was locked in two perfect pools of grey. The boy didn't look at her; he kept his eyes slightly downcast, allowing Shadows to dance gracefully across his face. He was perfect, Akira had to admit, the way his peach skin melted with his silver hair, perfection. Realizing she was staring, she tore her eyes away and forced herself to look back at the teacher.
The boy and girl sat down near the back, lucky for Akira. That way she wouldn't be distracted like Shadow always was. The girl was always staring out into space, but she couldn't blame her. Who needed such a twisted reality anyways?
"OK class; let's play our favorite game, shall we?" The entire class groaned as she pulled out the fly swatters and a matt with vocabulary words etched in pen. It was a rather elementary game, in Akira's point of view, but the teacher wasn't exactly highschool grade to begin with.
The class was divided into two different sections; the blues, and the pinks. Akira was a blue, Shadow was a pink, and both Allen and Lenalee were on the blue team. Shadow was amazingly up and standing close to a boy with reddish-brown hair, and jade eyes. His skin was tanned, and a calm smile was plastered on the boys face.
Shadow locked glares with Akira, her brown orbs trying to see through the opposite purple. Akira pushed some of her uneven hair out of her face, before winking at the shorter girl, and crossing her arms. Shadow simply smirked leaning against a lab table situated behind her.
The game started with a few girls against girls, then some boys in the mix, and then it was Shadow and Akira's turn. They moved up to the board, each with their respective flyswatter. Most of the kids in the class minus four laughed and giggled at how determined they seemed to be at beating each other. Then, finally, the elderly woman allowed a word to slip from her lips. In a blink of an eye, the girls had each hit a word.
"Tie."
Then the next word came; a pairing got three tries if they got ties, and this was the second. Shadow tried to move as fast as possible, failing as Akira matched her speed.
"Tie."
The last word was said. Shadow narrowed her eyes, and then something happened, again. She felt an odd, almost static-like feeling in her fingertips. Everything went into slow motion; she could see step-by-step what was happening. Then, finally, moving faster than she ever before, she slapped the flyswatter onto the board.
The room fell silent, Shadow breathed a sigh of relief, but then winced; something was wet and warm on her hand. That and there was a stabbing pain, but that was minor. She looked down and saw a piece of metal lodged in her left hand. While slapping the word, she broke the metal handle, somehow lodging it in her hand.
Akira let out a gasp as she dropped the flyswatter and went to the girl's aid. Grabbing her hand, she assessed the damage. The flyswatter was still holding onto her hand even as she let go of it, it just dangled there while blood ran down its handle.
Lenalee walked briskly from her place in the line and to the girl's aid, Allen following suit. Shadow was now biting her lip to keep from saying anything, but she looked up as a new hand grabbed her own.
Lenalee held her hand, inspecting the damage with a reassuring smile on her face.
"I'm Lenalee," she said to Shadow, who gave a weak smile in return. Shadow looked back at Akira, who was staring at the boy next to her. The boy didn't seem to notice, as Shadow did a silent chuckle before allowing herself to be lead to the infirmary by the girl.
Shadow's hand was now wrapped in white bandages, wrapped to be more of a glove to allow mobility of course, but still wrapped tight, restricting some wrist movement.
With little to no talking to the nurse, Shadow all but ran out of the room, speeding down the hallways, Lenalee in close pursuit.
Well, there you have it! The first chapter of my newest story, this one will be updated a lot slower than the last one, just because i want to get the last to some sort of close before really getting into this one, this one is planned to be WAY longer, and probably have a ton of spoilers, as it refers to many parts of the anime in manga, only rewritten. and if you want to know the characters bios, just say, i will post them in later chapters.
