Ok...When I wrote this to the 10th page on word doc, I decided to read what I had and...It's really short if you think about it. So, I'm going to make something like a "half episode." That's allowed right? There are always breaks in the middle in every anime...So from now on the episodes will go like : Episode 1A then Episode 1B (Like side A and side B). The title of this "anime"...I swear I'll change it...but I have a naming issue...T.T Gomen (sorry). So here's the first half of Episode 1: The New Girl (If I get a better name, I'll change it!) This will also follow the Japanese school schedule:
School year begins in April
This is the rough schedule.
1st semester 4/7 to 7/20
Summer Vacation 7/21 to 8/31
2nd semester 9/1 to 12/25
Winter Vacation 12/26 to 1/7
3rd semester 1/8 to 3/25
Spring Vacation 3/26 to 4/6
classes: from 8:30a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
one class : 50 minutes
The school year in Japan is divided into three terms. The first term lasts from April to July, the second from September to December, and the third from January to March. There are final exams at the end of each term. There are also midterm exams in the first and second terms but not in the third, which is shorter than the other two.
The Opening for this will be: Shine Days by Girls Dead Monster (Youtube it) The reason I chose this is because of the meaning in the song and it fits well as an opening. I suggest that you read the english lyrics to this.
BRS and Kurama(just him as a character.) belong to their owners Huke/Ordet and Masashi Kishimoto. Naruto WILL NOT be in this anime. Therefore, not a crossover :P
The sun rose over the horizon shining its rays over the buildings. A time of a new day. Anyone would like to get up and start the day…except for one person. A young teen continued to sleep with her blanket over her head. Sleeping peacefully and quietly until her cell-phone rang.
(Brring! Brring!)
The blankets stirred for a while and then stopped.
(Brring! Brring!)
A moan sounded…
(Brring! Brring!)
"Alright!" shouted the cranky teen. She grabbed the phone and flipped it open.
"What?!" she yelled in the phone.
"What do you mean what, Mato?" a voice shouted back.
Mato recognized the voice immediately, "Yuu?" Her voice back to normal.
"You have basketball practice you know! Now get up! I know you didn't even get out of bed yet."
"Wait what? Doesn't practice start at 9?"
"What are you talking about? It's 9 right now!"
Mato quickly looked at her digital clock. It was blinking 2:00 A.M.
Sighing, she held her cell phone back up to her face. "Did something happen last night?"
"Yea, Power went out over the whole Omiya area. A total blackout! There was like a huge lightning in the sky, but the weird thing was that there weren't any clouds or anything. The power came back just a few hours before I left. It was on the news."
"Well, I'm not an early waker…no wonder my alarm didn't go off..." Mato muttered letting off a yawn.
"Sooooo, up and at em, Mato! Practice is still here!" Yuu lowered her voice "If you don't come soon, Kohachi-senpai will make you run extra EXTRA laps~"
"Alright!" Mato hung up.
She checked her messages on her phone. There was from one, Yomi.
Hey, don't forget about your basketball practice! Have fun!
Mato let out a heavy sigh and quickly put on her gym clothes.
Having basketball practice…on the first day of spring break…What was Kohachi-senpai thinking?
She ran out the door and started heading towards school.
…
At gym, Yuu sighed.
That Mato….
"Hey Yuu!" Kohachi called. "Mato's comin right? We gotta have our ace here!"
"Yea, she's coming…running actually." She called back.
"Oh yea. Can you check on all the equipment we have? We need to know how much we have, what we are missing, what we need, and… all that good stuff. Make a list and show it to me first before sending it to the student council. Got it?" holding up a thumbs up sign.
"Uh, Kohachi-senpai. The president of the student council graduated. How about the principal?"
Kohachi thought for a while. "Not only the president. The vice and the secretary all graduated to high school. If the principal is here, send it to him instead. K?"
"Yes sir!" Yuu saluted.
"Yes MAAM!" she got Yuu in a headlock and gave her a noogie.
"Sorry! Yes ma'am! Ow! Kohachi-senpai, that hurts!"
"Yuu, you are the new super manager now. That means I'm counting on you!" she said releasing Yuu.
"Hai! I'll do my best." Yuu rubbed her head.
Last year, since there was already a manager on the team, Yuu had to join the basketball team as a player. She sat out most of the time due to her height, so she helped the manager whenever she could until she just graduated a week ago. She learned as much as she could from her ranging from first aids to equipment maintenance, making her the perfect candidate to be the new manager.
"Ok! First thing's first. I have to get everything in our storage room out. It had to be organized anyway…"
Yuu started taking out carts and the empty bags first before handling the large heavy bins.
"I'm here!" Mayo shouted as she bolted in panting.
"What's up Mato? You came late!" said Yuu as she hoisted a large bin out of the storage room.
"Y-Yuu! Do you need help with that?" Mato was worried that the bin will collapse on her small body.
"No actually…I can manage this. Why?" She grunted
"Ah…Nothing" Mato said with a sigh.
Getting her manly strength from the otherworld…
She remembered after the graduation that all the underclassmen had to stack all the chairs. While most girls could only carry 2-3 chairs, Yuu managed to carry about 7-8 before the chairs started tipping over.
Mato shook the thought from her head.
"So how's being the manager again?" She asked.
"Again?" Yuu was confused.
Mato immediately held back realizing her mistake. "Sorry! That wasn't you; it was Stren- I mean. I'm sorr-"
"It's ok" Yuu interrupted lowering the bin to the ground. "It's reasonable for you to make that mistake since…'She' was your manager…after all…"
She lowered her head.
"If 'she' was still here, 'she' would still be the manager."
"Yuu, I'm sorry for bringing 'her' up!"
Yuu looked up and gave Mato a sad smile.
"It's ok…Mato…I know it happened in the past…I know I have to face it and let it go…but…" She started shaking.
"I don't mean it that way, but she's -" Mato frantically tried to cheer her up but failed.
"Sorry, Mato…I have to go to the bathroom…" she dashed away.
"Wait Yuu-"Mato started after her but was stopped by Kohachi.
"I was just looking for you, ace! How can you be this late?!" She shouted.
"Kohachi-senpai, hang on. Yuu-"
Kohachi got closer.
"Leave her be!" She lowered her voice for Mato. "She's just probably on her…umm…period."
Mato just sighed sadly.
"Why are you just standing there? Go run your laps! We have a practice match in 30 minutes!" She slapped Mato's back.
I just hope Yuu's ok…I really need to watch what I say…Mato thought to herself rubbing her back as she started running laps.
…
I'm lost….too many hallways…
BK-201 was walking around hopelessly in school.
"Idiot! How long does it take to find the damn office?!" grumbled Kurama.
I'm looking for it…
"You are just aimlessly walking around!"
BK-201 continued walking.
…
"Ask any students here. They should know where his office is."
"Where do I start then-"
She stopped as she heard a slam from the girls' bathroom in the hallways.
Here's a person. I'll be off! Kurama spirited away from her body and went into her iphone in her pocket.
So complex…
Her phone vibrated. A text.
Well? Get in there!
She put her phone away and started walking towards the source of the crying.
…
Strength…I'm sorry! Yuu started tearing up and clutching herself while sitting down in one of the stalls.
If it wasn't for my foolishness, you would be still alive! It was my fault! Everything! Tears rolled down her cheek as she sniffed.
She heard footsteps come in.
"You ok?" asked a dull voice.
Yuu sniffed but didn't say anything.
The footsteps got closer until they stopped right outside the stalls Yuu is in.
"Here…" A toilet roll was tossed over the stalls. Yuu quickly caught it.
"Need help?"
Yuu unrolled some toilet paper and wiped away her tears and blew into it.
"Just leave me alone…" She stifled.
BK-201 didn't say anything for a while.
"You're crying…"
"Just GO AWAY!" Yuu shouted as she pounded the stall door.
BK-201 kept calm and just leaned against the door.
"Temper…" she muttered.
Yuu cringed and felt guilt for slamming at the mysterious girl.
"I'm sorry for lashing at you like that…" Yuu quieted down. "It's just I had…a really good friend. She helped me whenever I was hurt. She was always there for me. But after she…left…I'll never be able to see her again." She blew her nose.
BK-201 took the time to think about what she just heard. She just looked down and put her hand on her chest.
"You'll see your friend again…"
…
But Strength died… she thought to herself mournfully.
But because of her, I have friends now. She stood up feeling a bit more determined than before.
"Hmm?"
"I'm alright now. I'm coming out."
"Wait-"
It was too late. Once Yuu unlocked the stall door, BK-201 immediately fell backwards.
"E-Eh sorry!" Yuu quickly said bowing her head. "Do you need help?" She reached down to her.
"Fine…" She picked herself up "I'm ok…"
"Are you sure?"
She nodded.
Yuu's face was still pink from crying. She went over to one of the sinks and splashed water on her face.
After she dried herself, she turned to the other girl. She had on a dark hoodie jacket with headphones resting on her shoulders. All she saw on her face was a blank expression.
"U-umm…Do you need something from me?" She asked as she looked up.
"Principal's office…" BK-201 said emotionlessly holding up an envelope along with a couple of folded documents.
Yuu threw away the wet paper towels.
Is that her usual face? Her eyes are so…empty… She pushed the thought away.
"Principal's office? Why do you need to be there for?"
"Registration…" she handed Yuu the documents.
Yuu took them and went through them. She just saw written records and information.
"Oh! You're going to be a new student in this school?"
She nodded.
"What year?"
"Second…"
"That's my grade!" Yuu got closer to BK-201. "What's your name?"
"Uh…umm…."BK-201 muttered nervously.
Yuu saw a name on the envelope. "BK-201? That's your name?" She gave a questioning look.
BK-201 nodded slowly.
No kidding? What kind of name is that? She thought to herself.
"Well! I mean. It's just…a name I never heard before!"
"It's ok…I don't like my name either-"
"Where did you come from?" Yuu continued.
She wanted to know more about the new girl, but…
"Principal's office…" BK-201 muttered pointing to the documents.
"Oh! You're looking for his office? Do you need me to take you there?" She sniffed and then smiled.
BK-201 nodded.
"I'll take you there. Follow me ok?"
"K…"
Yuu started running but stopped immediately.
"Oh yea! I haven't introduced herself. I'm Koutari Yuu."
"K-Koutari?!" BK-201 widened her eyes a little in surprise.
"What? Something wrong?" Yuu tilted her head in confusion.
"N-nothing…" She mumbled shaking her head.
"Well, Come on, BK! This way!" Yuu ran out with BK following her.
She called me BK… BK-201 wondered to herself.
Her phone vibrated. Another text.
Hey! You found the Koutari kid!
She put the phone away and continued to follow Yuu.
The two of them went left and right through the hallways, but Yuu finally led her to the principal's office.
"Well, here's the office!" Yuu pointed to the door at a corner.
It was near the front entrance the whole time…Kurama…
BK-201 sighed.
Yuu looked at the time and panicked.
"Ah! I really have to go! Erm…Bye!" she waved and started running back to the gym.
I hope Kohachi senpai's not mad at me!
"Bye…" BK-201 waved back slowly. She then turned to the office and went in.
…
Yuu came into the gym during a practice match. Mato was drenched in sweat as she dribbled side to side dodging the other team's members. She reached the three-point mark and landed a swish.
"Alight! Game! Mato's side wins!" Kohachi announced. She turned and saw Yuu. "Finally here, Yuu! I can make my announcements!"
Kohachi stood on the bleachers while Yuu followed beside her.
"Everyone! Gather round!"
Seeing the basketball members coming to her, she continued. " As you all know, this year will be my third year. In other words, my LAST year. Before I graduate, I want this team to be the best team...Even though all the senior pros…graduated. That leaves us with…7 players! That is still ok! As long as if we have more than 10 members, we should be fine. We will have some new members from the upcoming first years. On the other hand, we lost some high pointers. I expect more from you second and third years! We practice every day this Spring break!"
"EHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
"Ah, Yuu. Sorry. I know you just went out, but can you send these papers to the principal? It's just a list of the remaining members of our team."
Yuu came over and took the papers "Sure! I'll be back!" and she ran to the principal's office.
"Alright! Lunch break! Go! We start again at 12!"
…
Yuu arrived back at the principal's office and went in during a meeting with a particular girl.
"S-Sorry! I'll wait outside."
"Nah, its ok. We are just finishing up here." Said the principal waving his arm at Yuu. He turned back to the other girl.
"Now, here's your school bag and uniform. I expect you to wear this on the first day of school. Got it? Here's an extra uniform for your convenience."
"Arigato…" BK-201 thanked him.
"Oh, here's a list of clubs we have here. There will also be new clubs this year. Baseball club, Football club, Volleyball club, Anime club, etc. There's also kendo club as well. Plenty of choices you have there, lad. I highly recommend you one or two."
"Ok…" She took the list and looked over it.
"Alright, Yuu. What do you have from me?" The principal turned his attention to Yuu.
Kendo club…She pondered on that phone vibrated. A text.
Kendo is a Japanese form of fencing with two-handed bamboo/wooden swords. It literally means "way of the sword." That's what I found on the internet. You have great swordsmanship, so I guess this is the club for you, eh?
Can't you explain this without texting, Kurama-kun? She thought back to him.
I can't switch back inside you with eyes around…deal with it.
BK nodded once and sighed. She took out a box of Pocky from a little pouch on her back and started munching slowly on one of the sticks. She let the pocky stick out of her mouth as she waited around in silence.
"The numbers of members on your team are dwindling…Better make it past 10 before your next game in June." The principal continued with Yuu.
"We got this. We'll get some upcoming first years."
"That may be so. Just hope that the addition of new clubs won't hinder that probability."
"What do you mean?" Yuu questioned him with a worried look.
"Well, with more clubs, the first years will more likely join those along with other members from their previous clubs. I already told Kohata all this."
"I guess we'll do what we can in April…" She sighed scratching her head.
"There we go! Now off you go. You too." Facing towards BK.
The two of them exited the office.
"So…is there a club you're thinking of joining?" Yuu asked curiously.
BK-201 looked at the list of clubs the principal gave her and just shrugged. "Don't know…."
"That's ok! You have plenty of time! Oh, I have to go now. Bye!" Yuu turned but looked back at the girl. "And thanks for earlier…in the stalls…"
BK-201 nodded and handed her a stick. "Pocky?"
Yuu thanked her and munched on it…until her stomach growled.
"Uh…lunch time…OH CRAP! I left my bento at home!" She slumped against the wall. "I'll just have to ask Mato to share hers then…If she brought hers…"
BK-201 tilted her head and sighed. "Here…" She handed her box of pocky to her.
"Eh? You don't need to-"
"Annnd…here" She reached into her yellow sling bag and brought out another box of pocky. "for your friend…Mato…"
"But I'm pretty sure-"
BK-201 already started walking towards the exit.
"Hey wait!"
"Hmm?" She stopped and turned around.
"Arigato!" Yuu dipped her head and smiled. " And...let's be friends!"
BK-201 sighed and lowered her head a little. "Sorry…" She pulled up her hood. "But it's best if we don't…"
"Why? What's wrong?" Her smile disappeared and was replaced by confusion.
"Look behind you…"
Yuu turned around but saw nothing…just an empty hall. "I don't understand what you mean-"
When she turned back to her, she didn't see her. She just disappeared…as if she never existed before…like a ghost…
Where did she go? She was RIGHT there! Yuu looked around the lobby but she was nowhere to be found.
...
BK-201 was strolling on the streets holding her luggage. Her phone rang.
Hello...
"Oi! You just turned down the Koutari-kid! What gives?"Kurama called through the phone.
She said nothing.
"Are you just nervous of making friends with a human?"
No... She thought back to him. I can't bring myself to make anymore friends...
"Atleast tell me why, kid."
That reason is personal...Sorry, I don't want to tell you...
"Come on...I've been with you for years, and I still don't know much about your childhood and crap."
If you call it "crap" there's no point in telling you then...
"And start talking! The way you talk is so depressing and unemotional."
That's just the way my voice is, Kurama-kun. I can't really change it...
"Then say more words! 'Principal's office...' is all bullshit...You won't fit in this society if you talk like that!"He mimicked her voice style. "Even you use more words with me."
She finally spoke into the speaker. "It's just I'm not use to this society...It's just way too different from the environment I grew up in."

Second half will come in a 1-2 weeks! I might re-edit this one if I need to. I also rewrote quite a bit of the prologue (mostly the end).
I also noticed one thing...SO MUCH DIALOGUE! It's like a light novel...I'll be sure to be more descriptive! Oh yea, I also have some pictures for this. They are on my deviant art. You can get the link from my bio. You can review or make a critique but please refrain from using profanity...Thanks!
