"Good morning." Wilhelmina said as she placed a bowl of ramen noodles on the table for Shana.
"Good morning Wilhelmina." Shana said as she sat down and started eating. She noticed that Kanamaru and Rayn weren't in the apartment, and looked up at Wilhelmina with a confused expression.
"Where are Kanamaru and Rayn?" Shana asked, looking around again just in case she may have just she didn't look hard enough.
"Your guests slept outside the front door last night. They are probably still there." Wilhelmina said as she walked into the living room and began analyzing more information from Outlaw.
Shana finished her food and walked to the door. She lifted her hand to knock on the door, then stopped. She mid devilishly, then thrusted the door open. Kanamaru fell down and hit the floor with a loud thud.
"What the hell?! Don't do that again!" Kanamaru said angrily as he stood up and pushed Shana.
Shana stumbled back then tried to push Kanamaru, but had no luck. "Well maybe you shouldn't be leaning up against doors when you sleep." Shana said, shrugging lightly.
Kanamaru sighed then walked out of the door. He knelt down next to Rayn and shook her gently, waking the dark blue skinned girl up. Rayn sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"What is it Kana?" Rayn said, yawning.
"My guess is school." Kanamaru said, walking next to Shana.
Shana looked at Kanamaru with wide eyes before she said, "What do you mean 'my guess is school'? You're not coming with me!" Shana said angrily.
"I have no choice but to, since Sakai Yuji will be there, I have to go and repay him." Kanamaru said calmly as he walked out of the apartment and stopped before he got lost in the building. Rayn stayed close to her brother, riding on her wolf.
Shana sighed. "I'll see you later Wilhelmina!" She said as she closed the door and left the apartment building with Kanamaru and Rayn following.
---OUTSIDE THE APARTMENT BUILDING---
"Okay, if you guys are going to come with, you have to at least change your appearance." Shana said, looking over Kanamaru and Rayn. Their pointed ears and dark blue skin was an attention grabber that Shana didn't want near her.
"Whats wrong with the way we look?" Kanamaru said angrily as he crossed his arms and glared at Shana.
"You don't exactly look human." The black haired girl said, raising an eyebrow at Kanamaru.
"Yeah, well we're not human, so if you don't like it thats too bad!" Kanamaru said as he started to walk away, not knowing where exactly he was going.
"Wrong way stupid." Shana said, smiling at Kanamaru.
Kanamaru quickly spun around and started walking in the opposite direction. Shana and Rayn laughed and followed.
---30 MINUTES LATER---
"Shana." Yuji called out as he ran over to Shana.
"Hi Yuji." Shana said with a warm smile on her face.
"Hi there Yuji-san!" Rayn said as she jumped off of her wolf and hugged Yuji/ hanging from his neck.
Yuji fell over, but managed to not fall on Rayn. He stood up and brushed himself off, and Rayn got back on her wolf.
"Don't you think that them walking around like that is a bad thing. I mean, they have blue skin, pointed ears. Kanamaru is still carrying his sword around, and Rayn is riding a wolf." Yuji said, glancing over at Kanamaru and Rayn.
"Kanamaru doesn't want to change his appearance to that of a human's." Shana said, shrugging.
"Its not that we don't want to. Its that we can't." Rayn said, smiling. "Right Silvora?" Rayn said, petting her wolf's head. The canine barked as if it were replying to Rayn's question.
Kanamaru grabbed Rayn's cheeks and pulled on them. "What the hell are you doing telling people we can't change into human forms?" Kanamaru said angrily, tugging harder on Rayn's cheeks.
"I'm sorry brother." Rayn said, her cheeks feeling really sore.
"Thats enough Kanamaru." A voice said from the collar that was around the black haired flame haze's neck.
Kanamaru let go of Rayn's face, and put his hands by his sides. Kanamaru was obviously irritated about something.
"Thank you Drazor-kun." Rayn said, rubbing her cheeks that were now red from Kanamaru pulling them.
"Oh that reminds me. Normally flame haze have some kind of nickname. Like Shana is the flaiming haired blazing eyes hunter, Khamsin is the Mobilizer of Ceremonial Equipment, and Margery-san is the Chanter of Elegies. So what title, nickname thing do you have?" Yuji said, staring at Kanamaru with a curious expression.
"Kana is-" Rayn stopped as she noticed that Kanamaru was about to grab her cheeks again. The blue haired girl buried her face in the wolf's fur.
"I am the Blade of Despair, Kanamaru Alman." The black haired flame haze said, sounding a little angry with his title.
"Blade of Despair?" Yuji whispered, thinking that it was an odd name. He looked down at his watch, and his eyes grew wide. "We gotta get going!" Yuji said as he started running to school.
"Wait Yuji!" Shana said as she ran after the brown haired Mystes.
Kanamaru and Rayn looked at each other with confused expressions, then shrugged. They followed the Mystes, and the black haired girl.
---MISAKI HIGH---
Yuji and Shana came bursting into the classroom, panting. Yuji was leaning against a wall, gasping for breath, and Shana was holding her chest, also trying to breathe.
"Did... we.... make... it...?" Yuji said through his inhaling of air.
"Hi Shana-chan, hi Sakai-kun." A brown haired girl said as she walked up to Shana and Yuji.
"Hi Kazumi." Shana said with a smile on her face.
Kazumi noticed Kanamaru and Rayn standing behind Yuji and Shana. She stared at the two blue skinned people with wide eyes, and she pointed at them with one arm over her chest and her mouth agap. "Wha- What are those?" Kazumi said hesitantly as she walked over to Kanamaru. She stared up at his ears, and poked them. They twitched and Kanamaru glared at Kazumi.
"What the hell are you doing?!" the Blade of Despair said angrily as he pushed Kazumi to the ground.
Kazumi landed on her butt and hit the ground hard.
"Hey! Be a little nicer to people!" Yuji said as he pushed Kanamaru against a wall and glared at him.
"Normally, I would have killed you the minute you touched me Sakai Yuji, but since I owe you my life I won't kill you. Since I technically just saved your life, I no longer owe you. That means I no longer have to be here." Kanamaru said as he grabbed the hand that Yuji had on the collar of Kanamaru's shirt. The black haired flame haze squeezed his hand, and Yuji let out a small cry of pain as he let go of Kanamaru's shirt. Kanamaru pushed Yuji away from him and started walking away.
"I'll be waiting on the field of our last battle, Shana." Kanamaru said as he walked out of vision.
"I guess I'll see you later. Bye Yuji-san, Shana-san." Rayn said as her white wolf ran after Kanamaru with the blue haired girl on its back.
"Who were they?" Kazumi said as she stood up and brushed herself off.
"We know that the male one is a flame haze, but we still don't know what the girl is or why either of them look the way they do." Shana said, staring at the hall that Kanamaru had just walked down.
"Well we better get in the classroom, class is about to start." Yuji said as he walked into the classroom, followed by Kazumi and Shana.
