Chapter 1

The New Kid

A small van drove up to a broken down building with a rickety old board posing as sign that read "orphanage", a girl opened the van door and walked out carrying only one bag with her. Her hair was long and whitish as her right eye was red and her left eye was yellow, brushing a couple of strands behind her ear. An old man walked out of the old building and next to him was a young girl.

"You must be Tasune, It's very nice to meet you" He held out his hand as if he wanted to shake hands with Tasune.

"Yes I'm Tasune, and you must be?" She connected the hand shake was she spoke.

"Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the care-taker of this building, " He said gently, smiling a bit.

"And the girl next to you? Who is she?" Tasune asked releasing the hand shake.

The girl looked at Tasune with bright green eyes moving her blond hair out of the way. "I'm Kanen Watashi, It's nice to meat you miss Tasune" Kanen softly smiled at her.

Mr. Matsuda continued on.

" This is your room mate, she'll show you where everything is."

"Alright thanks, I'm glad everyone is being nice to me so far." Tasune said smiling softly at them both.

After a few minute of explaining the rules of the building, they headed into the building. It didn't really look as trashy as it did on the outside, but almost like a school, with rooms for everyone, although there were 2-4 people in each room, and it was just a little crowded, but it was very descent. They ended up going to the cafeteria first instead of the dorm rooms.

"So are there a lot of kids without families here?" Tasune asked Kanen suddenly.

Kanen started to look a little said then said " Yeah, I guess a lot of people didn't want their kids anymore" she tried not to cry in front of Tasune.

A boy walked up to the two girls with a cocky look on his face.

"Hey Kanen, whose the old lady?" He said trying to be funny.

"Ha-ha Matt, very funny, This is the new student we've been hearing about for weeks." Kanen explained

Matt fixed his goggles which laid on top of his head, messing up his redish-brown hair.

"What's up Red" Tasune said trying to be a little cocky to Matt.

"Your number, that's what!" He said back in the same cocky tone.

The tree of them laughed for a bit, Then Matt and Tasune introduced themselves. As they were joking around a few minutes more a boy with white hair, which sorta sticks up, and his icy-cold blue eyes that looked like they were glaring at you all the time.

"Who are you?" the boy said rudely to Tasune.

"Give me your name and I'll give you mine" she said rudely back.

"I see this isn't going to be easy to get you to talk.." He paused for a moment.

"The names Hitsugaya Toushiro, and I'd rather you call me Hitsugaya" He looked at her coldly

"well, I guess you read me well, huh?" Tasune said cocking an eyebrow.

"The name Makanai Tasune, and I'd rather you call me Tasu" She said rudely to him, still cocking an eyebrow.

"It's nice to you" she paused a little bit for suspense.

"Toushi~" she said taunting him.

"And don't you forget, I'm the only one who is calling you that shorty" she starts to pat his head implying that he was being a good boy.

Hitsugaya smacked her arm away.

"Don't touch me kid" he now starts to glare at her.

"Ah, you're not worth it" He started to walk away.

"What!? I'm not worth it!? What am I not worthy for!?" Tasune said almost yelling at him.

Everyone that was in there started to stare at the two fighting.

"Tasune calm down, your causing a comosion." Matt said in a slight whisper.

"sorry, I got carried away" Tasune said as she bows as an apology.

"Whatever" Hitsugaya said rudely leaving the cafeteria.

"So Tasune, do you know what your classes are yet?" Matt asked as he noticed Hitsugaya had left a few minutes ago.

"huh? Um… not yet." Tasune said a little surprised of the instant conversation change.

"Ha-ha, ok, we'll take you to the office to get you a schedule so you can start class tomorrow." Matt was laughing a little bit, then put his hands in his pants pockets.

"Alright, thanks guys" Tasune said.

The three walked to the office and opened the door, they saw Mr. Matsuda in there waiting for Tasune's arrival.

"Ah, Tasune, what are you doing here?" Mr. Matsuda asked with a surprised look on his face that she was there that fast.

"Oh, um, actually, I was kinda hoping you can get me my class schedule, so I can go to class tomorrow." She asked a little nervous.

"Ah, yes, that's right you need a schedule" He paused, handing her the schedule.

"Here you go"

"Thanks Mr. Matsuda" Tasune said taking the schedule, smiling softly at him.

They talked for a few minutes after that, then they went their own way, getting back to the business they were doing.

"So Tasune, which classes do you have first?" Matt asked curiously.

Tasune got to look it over once when Matt suddenly grabs it out of her hands.

"I have health first" she sounded grumpy to get that class first of all the other classes she could be better at.

"Really? Me too, I hope we get to sit together during that class, and maybe joke around a little." Matt said getting more excited.

"That would be great!" she said, sounding excited as well.

"Hey Kanen? What class do you have first?" Tasune asked.

"Me? Um, I have English first and second so I probably won't be in very many classes with you" Kanen said a little quietly but wasn't really hard to hear.

"I'm feeling a little tired, lets head to the dorm rooms and try to get to bed early with are new member of the orphanage" Kanen added yawning quietly.

"Yes, I'm feeling tired myself" Tasune said yawning after Kanen.

"Alright then, I guess I should try to sleep, Mello will get worried about me if I don't head back soon, Oh by the way Tasune, you'll meet Mello in class, He's a little rude, but he's in all of my classes and he's my "best friend" if you know what I mean." Matt laughed at the last comment he said and headed towards the dorm hall.

Kanen and Tasune went as well, they entered their dorm room and got ready for bed early. Kanen fell asleep after 2 hours, while Tasune was too excited to sleep. It was 2 o' clock in the morning by the time she fell asleep and new that she would have to wake up early, so she fell into a light sleep so she can wake up faster than usual.
