Temperance

Ch.3

"There's a new girl in Kagome's old division, or so I've heard," Sym said as she walked up to Ely who was sitting at the base of a tree, sketching the sky.

"Really? What's her name?" Ely said, looking up at the girl. "And did you dye your hair, again?"

"I don't know and yes. You like?" the girl said as she ran her fingers through her now purple hair.

"Yeah, it's very…purple," Ely said laughing.

"Yeah, thanks," Sym said rolling her eyes.

"A new girl huh…" Ely said to herself as she leaned back against the trunk and half smiled at the thought.


"Hi, I'm Temperance," said a tall, young teenage girl. She was smiling brightly and her black snake bites stood out against her thin, pink lips. Her long purple, black and pink hair was free around her shoulders and just enough fell on her face so that only one of her blue eyes shone through.

"Hi…" Ely said, studying her.

"I hear your new here. Where you from?" Sym said, crossing her arms as she leaned against a tree.

"Yeah, I enrolled yesterday. I'm actually from Chicago, but my family moved out to Florida, but now I'm back," she said putting her hands into her black shorts and looked over at some of the people that had gathered out in front of the school. Ely studied the new girl with keen interest and slight distaste. She was tall and thin with a slight build. Her clothes were skin tight, helping to accentuate her figure; a tight shirt for her medium sized, perky breasts and skin tight, black shorts that showed off her nice round ass and slightly muscular, long legs . Her skin was also a milky white and seemed to be baby smooth and smelled of Jasmine and baby powder. The more Ely looked at her, the more jealous of and drawn to her she became.

"Why come back, IF you don't mind me asking?" Ely said as she followed the girls' gaze.

"I have my reason's. Whose that, IF you don't mind me asking?" the girl said looking at Ely with an expression that seemed oddly familiar and arrogant.

"Who?" Ely said, looking at the new girl queerly.

"Him," she said as she pointed to Inu-shu with a long, black nail. He was standing in the middle of the open campus, just looking up at the sky.

"That's Inu-shu, one of our best friends. Why?" Sym asked pushing herself off the tree.

" 'Cuz he's cute. That's all," she said as she smiled slightly, showing off a sharpened canine tooth, and walked off.

"Who was that?" Kouga said as he flicked his square away and watched Temperance walk away. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ely and she felt him brush up against her. Her heart fluttered again and she took a deep breath and moved away. She ran her fingers through her hair and put on a smile, but on the inside she was freaking out and didn't know why.

"I don't know really, but I think I can get to like her," Ely said as she leaned against the tree and continued to smile.
