Her first class of the day was biology. She was not fond of the subject and did not feel
that she needed in the career she was perusing, music. But she knew that she needed
something to fall back on if her music career did not pan out the way she wanted it too.
So her degree was to be a teacher of the literary arts, but she still needed to take all the
other requirements to not only complete her degree, but to keep her scholarship. Looking
over at the boy she had just met she could see he was a real heart stopper for the girls at
the school. Not three minutes into the class, a note was passed to him, from a giggling
girl in the back. He smiled slightly and placed the note in his note book and continued
taking notes. After the bell rang and her books/notes where put away, Suichii came over
to her table and motioned her to follow him. When they where in the hall, he turned to
her and smiled.
"The next class is Algebra and it is on the other side of campus. We have ten minutes to
get there." He said as they started walking again.
"I never got your name." He said.
"Maria. I just moved here from Texas."
"Ahh, an American. You speak Japanese well."
"My father was from Japan. He taught me the language when I was little."
"Why did you move here?" he asked.
"I have a scholarship to this school." Was all she said. She did not feel like talking about
her parents death as she was sure she would cry. The day went by quickly and she could not
believe it was already three in the afternoon. After her last class, English, she packed up her
things, mentally making a note of the assignments due tomorrow. A hand on her shoulder
made her jump.
"I did not mean to startle you." Suichii said.
"Oh, It's okay." She said, smiling.
"I was going to invite you to the arcade. A few friends of mine are meeting me there. Would
you like to come?" he asked. She thought about it. she did not have any homework that would
take her very long to complete, so why not? She needed to get away from her other thoughts
for a while.
"Sure, why not?"
"Great! Do you need me to carry your bag?"
"Hmm? Oh, no. I am fine."
A few minutes later they where standing out side the arcade. Just as Suichii reached for the
door handle, a tall boy with back hair jumped him. Well, he tried to jump him, but Suichii just
side stepped him and the boy ended up on his face. Maria chuckled.
"Awe man! I thought I had you that time! Your as fast as ever. Say, who's the girl?" he asked
pointing.
"Yusuke, this is Maria, Maria, Yusuke."
"Nice to meet you." She said with a little bow.
Soon after they entered the arcade, she was introduced to Botan, a cheery girl with blue hair,
Kuwabara, a really tall boy with orange hair, Keiko, a slender brown haired girl, Yukina,
another girl with blue hair, and a small boy with spiky black hair, named Hiei.
"I am surprised to see you here Hiei." Suichii said with a smile.
"I need to talk to you, and after I do, I am leaving." He said rather coldly.
Suichii followed the boy away from the crowd. Before Maria could open her mouth to speak,
Yusuke was asking her questions.
"So, how do you know Kur..I mean Suichii?"
"I just met him today, I transferred here from Texas."
"American hu? So are you his girl friend or something?"
"What? No. We just met."
"But what about in the future?" He asked just before Keiko bashed him in the head.
"Oh leave her alone." She fumed.
"I hate to break up the fun, but we have to go, ALL of us." Suichii said from behind them.
"Maria, will you please come with us? There is someone very important who would like to talk
to you." He said. Some one really important who wants to talk to me? She wondered.
"I guess, will this take long?" she asked.
"Not too long I assure you."
"Alrighty then." She said, following them out of the arcade.
