AN: hey guys! Here's the first chapter of Kamia! Internet cookies to anyone who finds the refrence within the story name/world! Please review and let me know what you think! This chapter mostly exists for the purpose of telling you guys about the type of angels and demons as well as an intro into their rankings. Sad to say I took a pretty heavy influence from the canadian air force and navy ranks once you go past guardian/vanguard. Anyway please let me know what you think of this, the next chapter will be more focused on actually action and interaction between characters. Happy reading!

Chapter 1
Introductory class!
Haruhi Earthsky stood in front of the tall gates, which were pink for some reason, wondering both at her luck and state of mind. It's not like she didn't want to be there at the historic Ouran Academy, she just still wasn't sure if she could really do this. Sighing she picked up her single suitcase and walked toward the gate, only one way to find out.
"Name please, and year" a voice came out of the box beside the gate, she stared at it uncertainly.
"Haruhi Earthsky, first year."
"Please come in, a guide will be with you shortly." With that the gates swung open revealing the school to the astonished girl. Walking hesitantly inside the gates, she heard them swing shut behind her and lock. Now all that was left to do was wait for her guide.
Minutes passed, she looked around at the grounds, it was pretty enough, cherry blossom trees speckled the fields. Soft green grass, rolled and a cheerful pink building rose out of the landscape. She could just make out the creamy white building just behind it. Probably the dorms, what was with this fascination for pink anyway?
"Haruhi Earthsky?" a voice above her called out, she looked up and met the eyes of the boy who was winging down to meet her. His landing was impeccable, and she took in his appearance. He was a demon, his coal black hair was windswept from the flight. His dark chocolate eyes were half hidden behind glasses; his pale skin contrasted against the dusky violet of his twin horns and scaled wings. Little was she aware of the inspection he was giving her.
She stood awkwardly her brown hair sloppily cut, thick glasses slipping down her nose. Oversized sweater falling off her shoulder a little revealing nothing but the tee-shirt she wore underneath.
"Hai, that's me." She gave a little half bow, "Pleased to meet you," she paused expectantly.
"Kyoya Darkeye, I'm pleased to meet you as well. It's not often we take in someone from the less privileged class, I'll show you to the dorms." This time he was waiting expectantly.
Haruhi grabbed her suitcase and allowed her wings to show, they were a soft honey golden colour, the same as the earth energies she controlled. Seeing Kyoya's nod, they both took off into the air, winging towards the cream coloured building that was to be her new home.

Closing the door behind her, Haruhi let out a sigh of contentment. Her senior who had led her to the dorms had also given her a map of the school, advising her to put it to memory quickly. It seems that the dorms were separated by social status and wealth, it was the only way the privileged felt any better about sharing classes with the less wealthy. Even though anyone who came here was usually rich and had good family standing. Stupid rich bastards, she thought to herself as she surveyed her new room. It was smaller than the other rooms in Hall A, it once belonged to one of the maids who worked there, she had gotten married therefore moving out of the room allowing the scholarship student to take up residence in the Hall with the wealthiest and highest connected students. All that was included in this room was a bed, a dresser, a desk, and a looking glass. There was a door on one side of the room which led to a simply bathroom, and another to a closet. A small kitchenette was in the corner, stocked with some basic foodstuffs, enough that she could make up a simple meal while studying. All in all, the room matched fairly well with the one she had left behind, though it was a bit larger than her old one. She stared unpacking, the simplicity of the room, and the polite sempai were good omens, and perhaps school life here won't be so bad.

Maybe she'd better rethink this whole; school wouldn't be too bad thing. First day, first class, she was already being alternatively ignored or bullied. It's unfortunate that you had no way of knowing what the other first year ranks are, that way at least she'd have been left alone to study.
"Ok class, we're going to go over all the rankings and types of magic we carry. If anyone would like to display their powers now would be the time to volunteer." The teacher, stopped for a moment and seemed to be muttering a chant, suddenly a cursive writing filled the air beside her making up two charts.
"Alright, as you can see here, we have all the rankings of angels and demons, all of you have already passed Wingless through Avian, for almost all of you, the ranks are evenly split between Powers, and Guardian or Vanguard. There is however one of you who is of the Lieutenant rank. The ranks as you know are given based both on the amount of power you can safely control, and how much control you have over said amount of power. Some of you will not surpass the level you are currently at." She smiled icily at a few of the students how gulped nervously, "though there is no shame in that, work your hardest to become better. Next we have the different magics; they can basically be separated into three categories. First, we have the elemental magics: Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Ice, Metal, Light, and Shadow. Your studies up until now have focused on your specific element, from now on you'll be learning the other elemental powers, though your specialty will affect how successful you'll be at the other powers. For example Ice elementals will not be able to control the energies belonging to fire as it will break away and melt their ice; whereas Wind elementals can control the fire energies since fire is sustained on the air. Second we have the Animal Speakers; they have the ability to speak with all of natures creatures. They can also form alliances with different animal groups, three is often the limit. Those three groups as part of the alliance grant them the ability to shapeshift into the form. Example, if a Speaker formed an alliance with the robins, they would be able to shapeshift into robin form. The other benefit of forming an alliance is gaining a familiar which is an animal closely bonded to the Speaker, can act as their Speaker's eyes and ears. They have a permanent mind link and cannot be broken from each other."
At this the teacher paused, about a quarter of the class was writing furiously in notebooks sprawled across the grassy field. The rest of the class looked either bored, intrigued, or off in their own worlds. Haruhi was jotting down notes as new information came up, and looked around at her mostly silent classmates. She saw two eye catching demons nearby with twin smiles of mischief as they snuck up behind one of the more studious looking first years. Their violent red scales and horns should have clashed with the orangey hair; should have but didn't, the colours made the twin demons look like their power over fire had taken over their bodies. They had to be Fire elementals; no other power colouring would make sense. She looked away as the teacher started on the last type of magic.
"Last we have the power of Wisdom. These people are simply known as Mages; as a Mage one gains knowledge quickly, has incredible memory over facts and are naturally suited to being instructors. They also have the power over the arcane, in other words creation magic. They can wield any elemental power and create constructs; nonliving organisms who answer to the Mage's will. Those spells however cannot remain in a Mage's memory like every other fact. The spells are in the spell book all Mages carry. Without this book, you cannot form any spells, spells also cannot take form instantaneously; if you are fighting a battle or during one of the tournaments here hopefully you can keep your concentration and have someone guarding your back." With this she waved her hand and the cursive fell away. Leaving the few note takers scrambling to finish. "Now it's time for free practice, don't seriously harm each other." Spreading her feathered violet wings, the teacher flew off into the sky, leaving behind her thirty some students to practice their magical skills.
Sighing Haruhi closed her notebook, and turned her eyes once more on the twin demons. They seemed to be the most interesting students to observe here anyway. Pushing her glasses up, she lay down on her stomach knowing that there was soon to be a show.
"Hey Prez," one of them spun him around while the other flowed behind him, "Writing everything down like such a good student, what do you think about showing off your magic? Your wings aren't even out how can we tell what sort of angel," the word came out almost like a feline's hiss, "you are?"
The boy they were confronting stuttered something, and a bird flew to his shoulder chattering angrily at the fire demon.
Golden eyes lit up, "So a Speaker? With a small wren how quaint," the smirk came back as he nodded to his brother, "What do you think of this then?" the other demon snapped and a flame sketched the air into a smile as the Speaker jumped and flew in fright, his speckled brown wings driving him into the air. Many of the surrounding students laughed, it was clear that this boy had a jumpy reputation.
Rolling her eyes Haruhi just rolled on her back and stared up at the sky, thinking about nothing.
"Hey commoner, what do you think you're doing?" a voice barked out.
And there you go! Please remember to review, I will dedicate a crazy dance to you if you do!
