This story is dedicated to Kura from Kura and Hana. That is the writer who sorta gave me the idea for this.

I never did fit in. At every school I went to, I was outcasted. At first glance, I look normal, but there is actually one problem. I'm not. That's why I'm going to this school, maybe I can find a place to fit in, of course you know how unlikely that is. It's about the same probability of surviving an airplane crash, which by the way is very unlikely.

I walked into the gym. They were having me go through something called power placement. It seemed pointless to me. I was sixteen already. Most of the people who had to do this were freshmen. I stood in the back watching. A guy in a pair of tight shorts was standing on a stage, giving some sort of speech. I really didn't pay attention. I remember dad's words, "you can actually use your powers here, you don't have to hide them." I smiled at the memory.

I was brought back to reality by the guy. He yelled really loud. My ears that were hidden started ringing. It took me a minute to realize he was directing it at me. "Come up here." he ordered. I reluctantly went up the steps onto the stage.

"What do you want?" I asked him annoyed.

"A smart alec. What's your name, freshmen?"

"One, I'm not a freshmen. Two, my name is Chaya Wilson."

"Show me your power then. Power up." I could tell he didn't like me." I smiled, I was going to have fun with this. I uninvisified my tail and ears. Then I spread my wings.

"Can you actually fly?" Instead of answering him, I took a running start and jumped. I flew around and then landed on the stage.

"Are you done?"

"No." I smiled at him. I changed my appearance to look like my old teacher, then I changed his appearance into a little girl with a snap. I changed back. "I'm pretty much done." I didn't show him the whole stuffed animal thing or the whole death thing.

A little girl's voice greeted me, "change me back."

"Why?" I asked him as I grabbed my bag and jumped gracefully off the stage. I changed my ears and tail and wings, to hide them.

"Because I said so." The students started laughing.

"Fine." I snapped my fingers.

"Hero." he declared, "but you have a detention. Leave this gym now and go get your schedule."

I left.

It was lunch time. I sat all alone at a table reading. I didn't really have to eat, so I just read. Of course someone had to bother me. I looked up annoyed. "What?" I snapped at the guy standing there. He was dressed in red, white, and blue. Next to him was a girl in a lot of green.

"We heard you were new here, and we were wondering if you wanted to sit with us." the red, white, and blue guy said.

"One, I don't know your guys' names and two what do you really want."

"I'm Layla, and this is my boyfriend Will." the green girl explained, "and we just wanted to say hi."

"Chaya." I answered. ,"and please . . ." I was interupted by a sound I recognized. I swerved around to find the source. I saw dad waving to me. "excuse me." I faked a smile, grabbed my bag, and left.

I went into the hallway. When I saw my dad, I enveloped him in a hug. "It has been way too long. What are you doing here?"

"Well, I wanted to see you. I had a mission near by, and I'd thought I'd stop by and say hi."

"What's the catch?"

"Well, nothing really?" If anyone saw me there would think I'm nuts talking to something they couldn't see.

"What is it dad?"

"I found out something."

"What dad?" I asked him.

"Well, you're getting a new power."

"What?" I exclaimed, don't I have enough.

"Calm down, you are going to be able to tell when someone is going to die. The date might change, but you will still be able to."

"Great, if I'm not already a freak."

"It will be fine. Just ignore it. You are already going to stop aging."

"What?" I exclaimed again.

"I gotta go. I don't have jobs here often, so I won't be able to see you very often. Remember what I taught you."

I couldn't stay mad at my dad. He already looked so adorable with his cat ears. "I love you dad." I hugged him and then he poofed away, probably off to his next job.

The bell rung, so I looked down at the schedule that was given me. "Gym." I grimaced, and headed over toward the gym. I was directed toward the bleachers, so I sat down. Coach Boomer, that was what I found out the annoying guy name was started by explaining rules of a game. I really didn't pay attention. I pulled out a manga I had been reading.

Again, I was interrupted by the annoying gym teacher call me name, "Fox girl, get down here." was actually what he said. I was very tempted to really annoying, but decided against it. I grudgingly went down. "I explained the rules, so you better follow them. Hero or Villain."

"Well, I'm not exactly evil, so I'll go hero."

"Choose your partner."

"Doesn't matter." I told him.

"Okay," the teacher smiled evilly. "Peace get down here." A guy in a leather jacked, came down. "Peace who do you want to go against."

Peace smiled, "Lash and Speed."

"Okay, suit up." I was sent to a locker room.

I asked the dude, Peace a question, "Is he always this annoying?"

"Pretty much. You know what to do right?"

"No."

"Just get the dummy hanging over the metal pit. Also, be careful of Lash and Speed. Speed can run really fast and Lash can well, stretch."

"And you?" I asked him.

"You'll see."

When we got back into the gym, the other two were looking at us. I sized them up. I noticed something, I knew when they were going to die. They really didn't have much time left. A couple years, and that was about it.

Boomer yelled, "Go."

The Speed dude went after the Peace dude and the Peace dude started throwing flames at said dude. That left the Lash dude for me. "Why do they call you fox girl?" Lash asked me.

I uncovered my ears, tail, and wings. "See." I started working my way toward him. He grabbed my pant leg and pulled. Which caused me to trip and sent my flying toward him. I got up and looked around. The dude was no were to be seen. I jumped up and headed toward the manikin hanging over the pit.

The dude speed was running around. He was suffocating the Peace dude. I concentrated and traveled instantly across the room. I smiled and snapped my fingers. Speed turned into a little four year old kid, who was powerless. "Nice trick." Peace smiled at me.

Lash grabbed me around the waist and pulled me to him. Peace went after the dummy. "I underestimated you." I laughed and then tried to get free. Before I was able to do anything, he tried to kiss me.

"Don't do that." I warned him. When his skin touched mine, his life started to get drained. I was able to pull free finally and then I ran.

"Chaya." I heard someone call. I really didn't want to deal with anyone. Why do you think I was in a library? I automatically changed my outfit. "Chaya." the person called again. I recognized that voice. It was Aunt Mereko.

"Aunt Mereko?" I whispered. She enveloped me. "I almost killed someone."

"Why do you think I'm here." she soothed. "I got the call. But you didn't kill him. I put everything back into him. Just be careful." I was crying.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Yes, and there is nothing to be afraid about."

"Chaya." I heard someone, I think Peace call.

"I better go." Mereko told me. "be good."

I laughed. "I will, Aunt Mereko."

Peace found me. "Are you okay? Who's Aunt Mereko?"

"noone." I lied. "How'd you find me?"

"It's where I would go. So, I automatically went to the library. Principal Powers is looking for you."

"Are they mad?" I asked.

"Probably not. Atleast not as mad as when I lit Lash on fire. We better find Principal Powers." I nodded and got up. I saw the date when he was going to die. He would live a somewhat long life. I smiled.

"Why you smiling?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"You're worse then Hippie."

"You mean green girl?" I asked. We were headed down the hallway.

"Yeah."

"You aren't used to talking alot are you?" I asked him.

"Yeah, how can you tell?"

"I can just tell."

Principal Powers interrupted us, "you two, detention now."

When we got there, I found my bag waiting for me there. I pulled out my manga and started to read. It was in the original Japaneses.

"How can you read that stuff?"

"I grew up on it, plus I was asked to read this by a friend. I never got a first name from you." Okay, so the publishing company I technically owned wanted be to approve the series before we put it on sale, but those were minor details.

"Warren, and you?" he answered.

"Chaya."

Principal Powers decided to enter, "you two. What is going on? And don't try anything Chaya, the detention room neutralizes all powers"

"In my defense, I told the guy not to touch me. He's alive, isn't he."

Warren added something, "besides, he did try to kiss her. Isn't that like sexual harassment or something."

"Why didn't you tell us?" the principal asked us.

"I thought you guys knew. I wear gloves and have most of my skin covered. The only thing not is my face."

"I let you join this school as a favor to an old friend. I can't really go back now, but you will listen to me. No more Save the Citizen for any of you. Also, we will have private session for you to train."

"Look, I'm not normal, even by you guy's standards. I could probably use my powers here and now if I wanted to." My ears were still visible, but that was actually part of who I was. I wanted to prove my point. I changed into my stuffed animal form and started dancing around. I personally thought it was hilarious. I changed my self back.

"Wow. Now, can you change Speed back?" the principal asked me.

I didn't answer because I was already fast asleep. The use of my power today had drained my energy.

I woke up. I automatically looked around. I was still in the detention room. "What time is it?" I asked myself out load.

Principal Powers answered me, "it's a little after four. All the rest of the students have left."

"Then how do you expect me to get home?" I asked her.

"You can fly can't you?"

"Yeah, but. I don't know the way."

"That's why I'm sending someone to look after you."

"Like I need it." I joked. "Can I at least get out of this room, these white walls are going to drive me insane."

"Fine, right this way." I followed her out of the room. I was greeted by red, white, and blue boy and Peace, I mean Warren.

"What you guys doing here?" I asked them. "Warren, you know red, white, and blue boy."

"My name's Will." the boy answered.

"Yeah,"

"Will can fly. I'm going to go on ahead of you guys and explain things to your guardian."

"And Warren?" I asked.

"He wanted to make sure you okay. He convinced me to have me carry him to your house." I looked oddly at Warren.

"Fine. Come on you guys. I know I'm not going to get out of this."

We were going at a nice leisurely pace. At least, leisurely for me that is. Will pointed me in the direction, but I wasn't sure where to go, so he was leading the way. We had almost made it to the ground when I noticed someone coming towards us. It was Uncle Izimo. I knew Will couldn't see him. "Will, duck." I told him.

"What why?" Will asked. He turned his head and looked at me. At that second, the two collided. Will, probably not understanding what happened because he couldn't see him. I raced to my uncle.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"Chaya?" he asked, "I haven't see you in like a year."

"Two actually. What are you doing here?"

Warren interrupted, "who are you talking to?" I smiled.

My uncle responded to my question, "I came here on a job. Are they trustworthy?"

"Well, they don't know the whole story, but you wouldn't be breaking any rules by letting them see you."

"Well, then I won't."

"You are the one who told dad, didn't you?"

"Told your dad what?"

"About the new power."

"Yeah, I better get going. I have never been late, I won't start today."

"Okay, bye uncle." I responded.

"What was that?" Warren asked.

Will complained, "I'm carrying someone here. Shouldn't we at least waited tell we landed until you started up a nice little conversation with someone who isn't there."

"Actually, he was there, you just couldn't see him, but I could." I continued flying. I ignored them the rest of the way because I was insulted they could think that I was making it up. I was half Shinigami after all.

When I finally got home, at least what was my temporary home. I opened the door. Warren and Will were following me. "Hi, Laila-san." I greeted my guardian.

"Chaya, I'm glad you finally decided to get home."

"I ran into someone I haven't seen in awhile."

"Oh, nobody bad I hope. Oh, your phone has been ringing quite often. I checked it once. It was Macy." As if on cue my phone rang. I ran upstairs to answer it. I barely missed the phone. I picked it up. Macy hadn't left any messages. Then I realized my battery was almost dead. I plugged it into the outlet and went downstairs.

"Sorry about that." I apologized.

"I have a snack for you in the kitchen." Laila-san told me.

"What? I don't need it."

"You probably haven't eaten since breakfast, go eat something."

"But." My stomach betrayed me and growled.

"Crap. Okay." I went into the kitchen. On the cupboard was pocky. I almost squealed. I grabbed one and then brought a couple out for Warren and Will. It was the real pocky. I offered Will and Warren one. "do you guys want some pocky?"

"Pocky?" Will asked.

"It's really good. It's the good kind, not the imitation stuff."

"Okay." Will was unsure.

Warren just took some. Then I turned to Laila, "You got me pocky. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Please review and tell me if I should continue.
