Chapter 2: Meeting the guys!
"NICKY!" screamed the dreadedly familiar voice of a hyper active blond as I approached the school gates. Said girl was storming towards me with a fuming look in her eyes that would have made any God, no matter what religion, soil their shorts. (I am not religious by the way, it's just a good way of describing the look in her eyes *shivers*) This anger filled girl's name is Arisu, and she has been and always will be one of my best friends. I never turned up to a revision session after school yesterday and that is why she's currently ready to rip me up and feed me to Kiba Inuzuka (a dog-like boy in our year group).
She has short, blond hair that falls just to her shoulders with dark blue eyes, accentuated with eyeliner and a slight tan on her floorless skin. She is wearing the school uniform that all the students at this school are cursed to wear. It consists of a black blazer with while shirt that you can wear a jumper over if you like (but only if it's black and a v neck) and black trousers or skirt with black shoes. We also wear ties that are green with the stripe colour of your house on them, in both our cases, the stripes are a blue a shade lighter then her eyes. She wears her uniform with no jumper, top button undone with a large note at the top of her tie and her shirt un-tucked from her skirt that just makes it to her knees with black, fish-net tights underneath that lead to her simple black dolly shoes.
"Why weren't you there!?" she shouts, pointing an accusing finger at me. "I was stuck in there for a whole hour with no one to talk to and a blond midget perving on me from the back row!"
"Sorry Ri." I say sheepishly with my head bent towards the floor, taking a sudden interest in the tarmac beneath my feet. "But, I found out that, well, 'that' was there and I just couldn't go in there. I turned up but 'that' was already in there waiting for me and I just couldn't go in there. I'm really sorry, I am Ri." I finish with a now sad smile.
"Ow," she says in a guilty voice. She new exactly what I was on about. "No, don't be sorry. I'm sorry I totally forgot about 'that' and yes, 'that' was in there when I got in to. I can see why you didn't come in. Sorry." She says in a sad voice and I look up at her and give her a bright smile.
"Don't worry about it. Its all good now, let's go and meet up with the rest." I say and she smiles back brightly at me, happy to have been forgiven so easily.
We walked across the teen filled yard and met up with everyone else to talk a bit before we had to actually go into school. As usual, there was a one-sided argument going on between my two cousins, Naruto (who was the one-sided part) was shouting at Sasuke (who was looking away bored) for some reason or another, while Hinata (the last of my four best friends that included my two cousins) was trying to calm Naruto down.
Both the boys look so different you wouldn't think they are related at all, well, there not genetically. My mom was Sasuke's auntie and she married Naruto's uncle which led them to having me. At the time a feud was going on between the two families and my dad ended up being killed by Sasuke's dad and in spite, Naruto's dad killed my mom but then something strange happened, he noticed the bump in my mom's tummy so cut her open and that's when I came out. This all happened on the same day and when Sasuke's older brother Itachi came in he saw this and killed my uncle on the spot, taking me and putting me into care. Both Naruto and Sasuke had already been born a while back, and so Naruto was put into care since his dad was the last family he had (his mom had died in childbirth with him) and that was where the feud ended. On my eighth birthday, another tragedy would happen because Itachi was to kill the whole of his family and leave Sasuke as the only survivor before he committed suicide himself. Have I got a messed up family or what!
Naruto has blond hair as bright as the sun, sparkling blue eyes and tanned skin. He is the second tallest in our group with Sasuke being first at 6'2, followed by Naruto at 6'1, then Arisu at 5'10 as third, me at 5'9 and finally Hinata last at 5'7. We are all pretty tall, but I still get the Mick taken out of me by the boys because I'm short while there tall, just because they both take after their dads for height.
Sasuke is the complete opposite of Naruto, with blue/black hair, eyes as black as pits and paper pale skin. This makes him the school heartthrob and the centre of most girls' attention, especially Arisu's. But she's allowed so it's ok.
Hinata's family used to be connected to Sasuke's way back so she's a distant cousin of mine as well and you can sure tell those two were related some where way back. She has black/blue/purple hair similar to Sasuke's with snow white skin to boot, but their eyes are polar opposites, her eyes are pure white with no pupil what so ever so that she looks blind but actually, here eyes are some of the best around!
The one-sided argument stopped as we approached and all three of them walked up to greet us. They all hugged Arisu (even Sasuke!) and said 'Hi!' while I stood there smiling. They all high-fived and said 'Hello!' to me too of course. But no hugs for me and that's just how I like it. All that touchy-feely stuff, I can't stand being part of it! I guess I'm just kind of weird that way.
We then stand and talk about what's knew in our lives, if anything and the two couples just enjoy the arms of their partner. Ow, did I forget to mention, our group if divided into two couples and me, the single. Sasuke and Arisu are mates and so are Naruto and Hinata. No, not mates as in friends, mates as in the term you use with animals, like foxes and cats. Which are what both couples are. That's another thing I forgot to mention, there all were-creatures. Naruto and Hinata are a mated pair of werefoxes and Sasuke and Arisu a mated pair of werecats.
I bet you all are well confused now, so let me explain. No you can not be turned into a were-creature in any way; you have to be born into a family of were-creatures. Now you may be asking what I am since I'm related to both Sasuke and Naruto, well, I'm human. I was never supposed to have ever existed in the first place, the reason my two families were at war was because of the species difference. It was a battle, cats vs. foxes. So when a couple formed, one from each family, you can say nether were two please. Why do you think both my parents were killed in the first place? Because of them being different species it was thought impossible for them to reproduce with each other, but evidently not. My theory is that I only inherited mostly human traits from my parents and the natural competitiveness between cat and fox cancelled each other out in my genes so I was born a human, well, for the most part. I have the scenes of a were-creature, enhanced sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch (which is why no one hugs me) that, unlike were-creatures, I can't turn off whenever I want to, along with my body being stronger, faster and quicker to heal. What a life, sometimes I can really sympathise with superman.
I am brought out of my thoughts by the loud siren of the bell ad I cover my ears with a groan before we all head off to the classroom. The first school screech is the one for form and, as luck would have it, we had all ended up in the same one. We all took our seats at the back of the room were we can talk in peace. From the right were the widow is looking over the beautiful flower club's gardens, we sit me, Arisu, Sasuke, Naruto and Hinata on the end. I always sit by the window so that I can look out of it and not have to listen to the mating couple's mushy and often inappropriate chatter. I don't even want to know what they do in their own time, just as long as I'm left out of it.
Mating couples stay together for life so looks like I will never escape them, but that's ok, because I can still take pride in the fact that I got both couples together in the first place. First Naruto had come to me one day and told me that he thought Hinata was 'the one' and wanted my help so I promised I would think of something, but the Sasuke said he was sure that Arisu was 'the one' so I then had two problems. Then it hit me! Girls love mushy romantic stuff and what better the both friends having their crushes ask them to be their mates at the exact same time! Problem solved! The boys would feel more confident with each other their ad the girls would be so bowled over that they would just have to say yes! Not that they would have said no anyway. So that what they did and it worked!
At the moment our form teacher Iruka sensei as we all call him, is taking the register, so the classroom is mostly quiet apart from one or two whispered conversations under the role call. We answer our names in turn and are about to get chatting again on a topic I will take part in, which park we want to hang out in after school, when the door flies open reviling a man who walks in flashing his ides badge to the class. He is a tall man who's lower face is covered by a dark blue mask and his left eye covered by a headband that helps to keep his gravity-defying silver hair out of his eye. He looks in his late twenties or early thirties and is getting the eye from most girls in the class. A top-notch police office it looks like.
He then speaks in a surprisingly friendly and clear voice since his mouth is covered by fabric, "Yo everyone! My name is Kakashi Hatake!" He starts with a wave to which most kids smile at before his other eye opens and his tone turns serious, skitzo or what! "I'm here to investigate the death of a pupil in your year in Ludlow, a student called David Peters."
At the name I froze ad a small smile came to my face ad I glanced at Arisu who wore the same expression, we smiled at each other, glade that 'that' was finally gone. 'That' was actually a Ludlow boy in our year called David Peters and he had been following me for some time now. At school, on the way home and to school, around town, and it just really cheeped me out! I only told Arisu because she would me the only one not to freak, or tear the boy to pieces. She agreed to keep an eye on him for me so that I felt safer. The feeling didn't last long because she came to me the next day telling me that he had watched my window all last night till 3 in the morning when he finally left. That had really freaked me out and I have avoided him ever since. I had never had a stalker before so the whole thing seemed so impossible that it took something this big to get my attention. That was two weeks ago and since then I have been ever careful, but now I feel like a huge wait has been lifted off my shoulders ad I can breath again!
"I'm going to call you all out one by one, on your own, to ask you some questions about the boy and your school." The detective continues and my smile drops, I was not going to like this. He then proceeded to look at us all in turn to make sure his point was firmly across. I met his one-eyed gaze with an emotionless one that would have made Sasuke proud and Naruto fume if either one of them had cared to look at me. Well, I'll give this cop one thing, he certainly doesn't beat around the bush.
After a few seconds of eyeing me up (in the way that cops do to all potential suspects) he moved on the to next person. Half a minute later, which seemed like forever in the utter silence of our usually bubbly classroom he seemed, satisfied his message had gotten through to all of us.
He cleared his throat with a small cough and got out a clip board. "Ok then, first up is, in no particular order just to make it fair, Hinata Hyuga."
She got up from her seat and sent me a worried glance. I smiled back up at her in reassurance and she nodded with a small smile in return. Naruto gave her hand one last comforting squeeze before she walked off giving us all a small, half-hearted wave and she walked out the classroom door followed by the detective. The interrogation was on!
So what do ya think?
Any good?
I just really wanted to do something with a supernatural theme and dont blame me I wrote this like last year and I'm just typing it up now so it may be a bit crap! -_-'
