Chapter 1: Kyouin (bad news)

"Now you be a good girl in school today. Don't kiss any boys, hun'." The woman waved to her childs retrating back. Long raven strands danced in the light breeze before being scooped into a loose bun. "My little girl is going to grade school..."
"She has been for the past five years, Maouko."
The woman spun around to come face-to-face with her husband. She smiled. "Oh I know that, but she looks so big now."
The man nodded. "Vi-chan has grown. Soon she'll be bringing boys home." Maouko laughed at her husband and the Satans walked back inside.

"Watch it! The devil's on her way!" Videl entered the playground in her jean jumper and white t-shirt. "She'll condem your soul!" "Beware the evil flames!"
Her azure eyes glared over the blacktop at her classmates. "I dunno what your problem is, but I'm not the devil."
"Give it up Devil Satan." A girl in blonde pigtails shouted from the swing set. "Mix the letters of your name and what do you get?"
Videl lowered her head. "...devil.." she mumbbled.
"Ne? What was that?" A boy with mahogany hair raised his nose in the air. "We couldn't quite hear ya."
The young Satan looked up with tear-brimmed eyes. "AT LEAST I'M NOT NAMED AFTER SCHOOL SUPPLIES OR FOOD!" She spun on her heel and ran from the building. This is what she hated about school. It wasn't the learning, the teachers, or the homework. it was, by far, her peers. The worn white sneakers smacked the sidewalk in a rhythem that, to Videl, sounded like laughter. She ran faster, tring to exscape the tauntings without reliasing they were in her head. 'They never stop.' "I hate my name!" The girl plopped down onto the soft grass in her secret spot. She picked a blade of grass and twirlded it in her small fingers. "But I'm named after Mommy... so I can't hate my name..."

:Please send Vaidal Saten to the office. She has a building pass.: A chorous of snickers and 'ooh's hummed over the class as Videl stood from her back corner desk and left the room. She returned to school just before the final bell and stayed quite. Videl pushed open the heavy office door. She snapped up her pass and ran outside. "Good thing Papa's match is during the day so I could get off early to see it."
Videl, uncharacteristicly, skipped home humming a happy tune. There was no way something as wonderful as leaving that horrid place could turn bad. As far as she was concerned, at the moment, there was nothing but blue skies. The black haired child swung open the frount gate and bounced into the small house. "Mommy, I'm home. Let's turn on the T.V. so we can watch the world tourny!" Her face light up at the sound of popcorn being made in the kitchen. Videl snuck down the hall with a playful smirk.
She quickly turned the corner and leeped at her mother. Maouko's torso slid off the counter top and, with the rest of the body, fell limp to Videl's play. The child giggled. "I got you Mommy! Now get up so we can go watch Papa fight." The body didn't move and Videl got impatient. "Mou, come on." She shook her mother and noticed a matalic object on the floor. Being the curious girl that we all know she is, Videl picked up the knife. Bloody prints found thier way onto the handle.
"What's this red stuff?" Videl took a finger covered in the fluid and stuck it in her mouth. A salty-copper taste coated her tounge making her quickly retract her finger. "...blood?" All the peices finally came together. Her mom was dead. Videl stood up and looked at herself. The red stains belonged to her once living mother...once living. Videl's normally bright eyes grew dull and glazed over. She dropped the knife and walked quietly to the living room.

Posion Angel: Today I was thinking to myself 'why does Videl seem so mean at first?' This story is my explination. BTW, Maou means Devil, -ko is just added to make it seem more like a girl name. It's 12 something at night.... I'll put up chappie 2 tomarrow or something.
