School started and as always I sat in homeroom, ignoring their cruel words. The teacher walked in and yelled at us as he always did.

"Listen up! We have new students here today!" Everyone got quiet,everybody liked new kids,they could label and torcher them for the first few weeks until they found friends. Hell, maybe I could try! Nah,I'm sure I couldn't put someone through what I was put through at school….and definitely not at home!

"We have two new girls…..Eien, stand up!" I looked over to a very sad-looking girl…did I look like that? She had turquoise hair, quite an interesting color,actually. Wait,didn't he say that we had two new girls?

"Uhh….I'm sorry, hun ,but what's your name?" I girl with long black hair stood up. Her hair was quite…..poofy? Teased, I think that's what they call it….

"It's Katsu." Katsu, huh? The same thing I say as I make my art….nice. They both sat back down.

"I'm sorry girls,but we have a few people late this morning and those are their seats…I'm sorry but I have to put you with…Deidara." He said my name in disgust…..Why, though? Why?

"We will also have about…eight or so more students leaving this class from a rather cruel joke played on the principal…." Heh, less people to harass me, wonderful, no, really.

"Deidara!" Words drenched in venom again. "Raise your hand so these unlucky ladies know where to sit!" Fuck. If I have to raise my hand then that'll lead to either A) My hand-mouths will be shown or B) My hand-mouths will be shown and my tongues will be shown. Lets hope it's not the latter. I slowly raised my hand and they came over to the back row with me. Thank god! It wasn't the latter! The turquoise-haired one was first to walk over to me.

"Hello,un." She said taking a seat one away from mine.

"Uh, hi…." Then the black haired one came over,she also looked just as depressed as Eien. She nodded her head to me as a form of greeting since her arms were full of books.

"H-hi…hm" I muttered and she turned as she laid her books on the desk next to mine, a brave soul she was. She had quite a bit of make-up on. Eyes fully surrounded by black eye liner,mascara, and black lipstick to add to it. I noticed one thing about them, they were both wearing jackets and jeans. Well Eien had on jeans but Katsu had on those uh….skinny-jeans, anyways the ones that hug the figure of your legs. Guess what…They were black too. But school had just started again, meaning it was hot outside still.

"Hey, Eien, Katsu….Why are you wearing jackets, un?"

"Why are you?" Eien answered/asked.

"…Uh…Never mind, hm." I leaned back to my desk. No way I could let it slip, no way. The day passed slowly until lunch started. I sat at my usual lonely table. I heard footsteps coming towards me. Great…harassing me at lunch.

"Hey, can we sit here?" I looked up to see the new girls.

"Do as you please, wanna ruin your reputation before it starts, fine, hm."

"I'm gonna take that as a 'yes'." Eien sat next to me while Katsu quietly sat on the other side of me. I don't think I even heard Katsu's voice yet, sure she had said her name in homeroom but I was ignoring everything until I heard the word 'katsu' but even then I didn't listen to what type of voice it came from.

"So, Deidara, Why are you wearing that jacket?" I decided to respond the same way she did earlier.

"Why are you, un?" A ping of some mix of emotions shot through her face. She dropped her head and shadow engulfed her face.

"N-nevermind." Is it possible? I reached for her sleeve and pulled it up,she gasped as did I. She jerked her arm away from me.

"What happened?" I was worried that she was in the same position as I was.

"Why do you care? I don't see you knowing the situation." She hissed. I turned to Katsu and she looked up to me. Her eyes read 'What do you want?'.

"Do you know what happened, un?" She shook her head. Damn! I was hoping for some voice from her.

"Deidara? Why do you sit alone?" Eien asked trying to change the conversation.

"Pretty sure you don't wanna know, hm." I looked up to her.

"Oh, yes I do."

"One of the many reasons I'm alone are these, un." I held out my hands to show her, waiting to be slapped for bringing them close to her. The tongues rolled out and started to wiggle around.

"I-I'm sorry,they have minds of their own, un." I looked away, eyes closed waiting for the brutal hit I was about to earn. I was surprised when she ran her finger on the lips of my left hand-mouth.

"Cool…Why do they shun you for this? It's not all that bad." Wait, 'Cool', is she fucking insane?

"Hey, Katsu?" Eien's voice made her turn her head.

"Tell me if you think these are cool." She showed my hand to Katsu and she nodded. I bent in towards Eien.

"Is she mute or something, un?"

"I don't know, I just met her today." I leaned back.

"Oh, hm."

"Hey, Deidara?"

"Yes, un?" I looked up from my plate.

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what, hm?"

"That."

"That what, un?"

"Your speech thingy, why do you do it?"

"Force of habit,same as me, na. See? There it was, na." I turned to where the bittersweet tone was coming from. Oh. My. God. Katsu can talk!

"Yes, I know, na, I can talk…whoopty…fucking…doo..."

"We thought you were-"

"Mute (un.) (na.)" We both said, leaving our speech impediments tangled with each other.

"So, now that you're talking…..Why are you wearing a jacket."

"Wanna know, na?" We nodded.

"Too bad, he'd get arrested." She just slipped! It's happening to her! I hope she knows she slipped. I looked over to her and she had a hand clasped over her mouth, a look of shock on her face. She sprinted away, her giant, heavy boots pounding the floor.

"I think she went to the bathroom, I'll be back." Eien ran to catch up to her.

~KATSU'S P.O.V.~

Please! Not now!

I still had my hand over my mouth, I busted in the girls bathroom. Luckily nobody was in there. I can't make it to the toilets…sinks gonna have to do…I took my hand away from my mouth and blood spilled out. I coughed up more. Damn him!

"K-Katsu?" Eien had cared enough to follow me. I looked over to her blood trickling down the corners of my mouth.

"What happened to you?"

"N-nothing, na." I looked down into the blood covered sink.

"Yeah, nothing happened and you're coughing up blood in the sink of the girls bathroom at your new school." She walked over to me and held my hair back when I coughed more of that crimson liquid up. I grabbed a paper towel and wiped my mouth. Eien turned me by my shoulders to face her.

"What the hell happened? " She demanded.

"My father…drunk…..beat me…..knocked out…..woke up…..went to school….coughed up blood, na…" When I thought back to last night's events I could only mumble a few words.

"So, your father arrived home, drunk and beat you until you passed out. Then you woke up and got ready for school, left the house, came to school, and then the events up until now I know?"

"Y-yes….."

Katsu is going through the same thing as Dei…rather sad.

Reviews are wanted, flames will be turned into monsters and they will eat the one who did it.
