Something Else To Reconsider

Chapter 1. New faces
Location: Yoshitan High School
8:30am
Thursday Morning
"Two more weeks to go man.... What a fucking drag."
A dark grey, silver highlighted, two legged raptor dragged herself up the school stairs, a backpack hitched over her shoulders. She wore a white blouse, maroon tie and a straight maroon skirt, falling just above her knees. She groaned and threw her bag into her locker and slammed the door shut. Her two companions, a dragon and a human boy, which was considered a real rarity at Yoshitan High, both sniggered in unison as the locker rattled from the impact.
"My, my, my. Isn't someone having a bit of a case today."
The seventeen-year-old boy leant up against the lockers, his dark chestnut hair falling in his face. His eyes, amber and chocolate blended, flashed as a grin appeared on his childish face.
"Shut your face, Syaoran Li... I am not having a good day..."
"Reili, do you ever?"
"One day, Li, I will seriously hurt you and I will laugh."
"Wouldn't that be something to see?"
The last to speak was Kieba, the dragon. Pure white in colour, she had dark red webbed fins to protect her ears, and a blonde soft mane. On her forehead, she had a thin, blue spiked shield and a pair of golden curved horns down on her lower back. Her flicked her long, purple tipped finned tail and smiled, showing off a set of sharp teeth.
"Ya know, there is a newbie at school." She said, clicking her blue tinged claws on the tiling. Reili and Syaoran exchanged evil looks, before turning their attention to Kieba.
"Really?" Reili asked, a wicked plan forming in her mind already. "How wonderful."
"Uh huh, I am sooooo sure of it too, Dinasha. You just wanna run her into the men's during recess. Dun you lie to me."
They laughed. Reili cracked her neck and took a look over at the water fountain.
"Oi, I dunno about you lot, but I'm off to get a drink. Don't kill each other while I'm gone."
Looking like complete angels, Syaoran waited until Reili was out of ears reach.
"So... Kieba... Been practising on your flying as of late?"
Kieba glared at him, and planted her claws into the tiling. He knew well that Kieba was a wingless dragon, and it was one of those that pissed her off... But not as much as...
"And your fire breathing? Been able to pop out little fireballs yet?"
The dragon's purple eyes twitched.
"Keep it up and I'll stomp your balls into the ground." She hissed.
"I hear that they are holding flight lessons at the -"
That was the final straw.
Kieba latched herself onto Syaoran's white school shirt, before dragging him outside, ready to kick his ass.
"You know, you wouldn't have this problem if you could throw a river of flames at me."
"YOU LITTLE FUCK!!"
Throwing herself into the air, Kieba landed on the boy, pushing him face first into the ground.
He couldn't help himself. Syaoran thought that it was a blast to annoy Kieba about her "disability" as he had called it, having a go at her every time that Reili was away.
Reili was the peacemaker of the group, but had the most conniving mind going. If anyone fucked with her "family", she would go after them and make their lives a living hell. When it came to Kieba's and Syaoran's fighting, she would hit them both over the back of the head and tell them to get over it.
'Where the hell are they this time...?'
Reili groaned, watching a small group rush out towards the front yard."Ritaso is killing Li! WOOT!" A Yoshi cried out, running past Reili and out the main entrance. Reili sighed and fixed her cap on her head.
'Here we go again...'
"Hey, hey, hey... Break it up, man... BREAK IT UP!"
Reili ran out over to the battle scene, but came to a complete stop as Kieba strolled off behind her, halting, then turning around and jumping on Syaoran, flattening him into the ground, before getting off him, and scraping dirt in his face, as if she was a dog.
"Reili..." The man groaned. "Maybe you should tell her to be a little nicer to me..."
"Maybe I should tell you to shut your face."
The raptor looked down at the flattened man on the ground and sniggered.
"So..." She began. "What did you do this time?"
"Not a Goddamn thing."
Reili looked unimpressed. She waved her claws at the small group that had formed around them.
"NOTHING TO SEE HERE! COME ON, MOVE ALL YER ASSES!"
Kieba laughed, proud at what she done. Reili groaned.
"Uh huh. I'm sure of it. Sure you didn't do a thing."
"HEY!" He yelled, face down in the dirt. "ALL I DID WAS HAVE A GO AT HER BECAUSE SHE AIN'T GOT NO WINGS!" He grinned. "Again."
"And... The fact that she can't breathe fire... Right?"
"Maybe..."
Reili raised a scaly brow and walked over to the man, who slightly resembled a sad and sorry pancake, and lifted him off the ground, telepathically.
"WILL YOU LET ME DOWN?!" Syaoran screamed, throwing his arms around as if he was crazy. Reili sniggered, a glint in her eye. She dropped him, square on his ass.
"Serves yourself right." She retorted, turning her back on him. "You'd think one would learn after how many years?"
Grinning, Syaoran kicked out with his leg, tripping Reili. She screamed as she hit the ground.
"YOU LITTLE A-"
"Reili!"
The raptor shuddered, knowing very well who owned the voice. Turning very slowly on her heels, she brought her pitch black, wide eyes to the eyes of the principle and sighed. She waved stupidly.
"Hi, Princy!"
The principle, Mr Prince Jad, was of centaur extraction, complete with the hideously annoying "macho" attitude. His bottom horse-like half was buckskin in colour, his tail and hair pitch black. Personally, he gave Reili the shits, yet she thought that it was rather amusing to annoy him with the use of her "pet name", "Princy" for him.
Jad rolled his eyes.
"After another detention, Reili? I always have a little place set aside for you. Why, this would be your -"
"Seventeenth in the past three weeks! I know, isn't that the bestest?" Reili cheered, clapping her claws together like a pathetic little schoolgirl.
"Oh, why can't you be more like Ry?" Jad sighed, in the most annoying dramatic tone of voice. He rubbed his temples.
"RY!" Syaoran blurted. "What a fag!" He and Kieba exploded into laughter.
Ry Moshitsu was a real... Teacher's Pet. Constantly sucking up to the teachers, getting his work in on time, always the first to know all the answers. A complete know it all. Never had a girl in his whole entire life. Or so everyone thought. Even Miss Zezzabellina Quintessavera, the popular Maths teacher, thought that he was a little too freaky. She now tries to stay away from him as far as possible.
Jad whipped around on all fours and glared at the man, before pulling out a note pad out of his shirt pocket.
"And that will be two after school detentions for Miss Reili Dinasha and Mr Syaoran Li." He flipped the book back into his pocket and was about to trot off, when his dark blue eyes fell upon one of the other teachers - a tigress hybrid, standing beside a student. A new student.
A wicked grin crossed Jad's face, and he faced the group, knowing well how they hated to help the staff members with tasks.
"I have a proposition to make. You both want off detention?"
His question caught the two off by surprise, but they nodded. Extending a finger towards the new student, Jad placed his other hand on his hip.
"Take the new kid under your wing. Show her around, and don't turn her into a meddling punk like the rest of you by the end of today. Do it well, and I'll let you off."
He leaned in on them and raised a heavy brow.
"We got ourselves a deal?"
Reili looked over at Syaoran, Syaoran looked over at Reili and they both grinned mischievously.
"Yeah. Alright Princy, bring it on."
