The New Students

A few months passed since the beginning of the year, and winter struck in. The campus grounds were laid out with a beautiful coat of white, and most outdoor classes were held in the gym. Well, most. Mr. Kuchiki Byakuya's classes were ALWAYS outdoors, no matter the weather.' Is he a monster or something?' Sano thought, as he looked out from his window seat inthe classroom. "What, is he inhuman? How can anyone withstand -20*C?" Then he realized he was talking aloud as soon as his Math teacher wrote down his name under the chalkboard as 'Rooster-head'. That teacher was the rowdiest person IN EXSISTANCE and never thought twice about giving insults. 'Of course, that was no problem for the smart snobs in the classroom, like, Suichi over there. Well, actually, he's not really a snob, just wickedly smart.' Sano's jealous. (=P) Meanwhile, Suichi was scribbling down answers for the question on the board. 'This is easy. Well, for me, anyway. I can guess that probably someone who lived for thousands of years would know a question with this type of caliber.' He had red hair, except a bit more pinkish than Kenshin's blood colored shade. Green eyes of knowledge were carefully placed in the middle of his smooth face, and he looked somewhat feminine. Sano turned to the window again, and saw Yoh hopping on one leg while throwing a ball up into the air. 'What is that idiot doing?!'

FLASHBACK

'Looks can bee deceiving...' Yoh thought as he saw the kind, funny guy he had made friends with the other day wearing deep, hard, cold blue eyes instead of the calm amethyst orbs staring at him. He narrowed his eyes." Are you Asakura Yoh, the person Rurouni told me about?" "Rurouni? You mean Kenshin? Hai, you must be Battousai. Nice to meet you!" He said, grinning. Battousai scowled. While all this was happening, Hao looked at them in a sort of mixed expression of surprise, curiousity, and indifference. 'Strange....I could have sworn...' "Hao!" Hao's eyes drifted to his little brother. "What is it?!" "Meet battousai! He was an assassin during the revolution, and trades places during lunch with Kenshin! Only for school though." Hao's eyes scanned the red-headed figure. "Battousai, meet my brother, Asakura Hao." Yoh smiled, both people glared at him, but then he smiled even more. "It looks like you're going to get along together well!"

END FLASHBACK

Yoh. Poor Yoh. Out of all of the teachers he could get, he got the one most like Anna. T-T "If you don't keep this up for the rest of class, you have to lay in the snow with only your shirt and pants on." Ugh....this week's training punishment." And Yoh had to go to an important meeting with Sano, Kenshin, Megumi, Yaiko, Misao, Inuyasha, Rukia, and Ichigo tomorrow. He tried extra-hard to get through class without letting down his furyoku, but miserably failed. It was amazing he didn't get a cold. "Hmmm.....Hao?" "What?!" "Would you like to come to my friends' metting tomrrow? It'll be a lot of fun." Hao glared at him. "....I guess that's a no?"Yoh said with a sigh.

The next day...

"We have two new students in our class today. Please welcome Miss Asagao Kira and Miss Asagao Kikyin." Saito said. The door slid open and out came two young girls, both around the same age. "Hello, my name's Kira! I am 17, and the older of us sisters." The taller girl said, as she stepped up. She had dark black hair that was neatly tied in a low ponytail, and bright green eyes that held bright, cheerful eyes, but also held knowledge. She wore black jeans, and a white tank-top underneath an unzipped navy-blue jacket. In her belt space, was a navy blue scarf that matched her jacket perfectly, and a black katana with a hand-guard, and a red ribbon attached to the hilt. 'She's the same height as Kenshin...I wonder....' The other girl stepped up. She also had black hair, but it was loose, and had a single silver streak near the front of her head, on the lock that hung down the front of her body. Her eyes were almost the same as that of her sister's but it was a mysterious brown. She wore a red and orange pair of pants and a white shirt that was very loose on the sleeves. On her neck was a golden double-chain necklace supporting an intricate tiger pendant. "Hello, my name is Asagao Kikyin, and I am very pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"Now, why don't you tell the class about yourselves." The teacher said, sounding bored. "Well, I really like fire, swords, dango and soba!" Kira exclaimed. "I really hate know-it-alls, really girly snobs, fruit, and tall people.....except for....." Her eyes drifted around the classroom, then stopped on Kanda, who was looking out the window, and blushed. "Anyway, you know how I told you about how I like soba? Well, I have kind of a soba obsession. I am sugar-happy, and I am an exorcist in training." Kanda's eyes, glanced at her, then continued to stare out of the window. "Alright." Saito said, his eyes rolling. "Next, Kikyin." "Thank you sir." Saito raised an eyebrow. "I enjoy morning glories, sunrises, singing, sugar, and ramen. I can never get into a sugar rush, even when I try, unfortunately. I very much dislike peppermint and the color pink." 'Surprising, miss goody-goody.' Sano thought. "Oh, and don't call me a girly-girl or threaten to kill me, please." She said, her eyes staring at the floor. Now Saito was interested. 'A rabid sugar-happy exorsist in training and a very polite, mysterious, weird girl. Ugh....why did I ever start teaching anyway?!' "Oh yes, you never told us what your occupation is." "Oh.....well sir......." Kira stared at her, and cut in. "Um.....she doesn't have one sir. So...." Saito cocked an eyebrow. "Fine, I'll set you to your seats. Kira, please sit in the desk behind Kanda Yu. Kikyin, to the empty desk to the right of Uzumaki Naruto, please." Kikyin walked over to her seat, while Kira skipped. 'Yosh. I'll make them feel welcome.....and maybe make friends! No, I will!' Yoh thought.

After homeroom, Yoh, Misao, Sano, and Naruto all introduced themselves to Kira and Kikyin. "Hi! My name is Asakura Yoh, and this is Makimachi Misao, Sagara Sanosuke, and Uzumaki Naruto." "Very pleased to meet you." Kikyin said, bowing. Misao sighed. "You can cut your act now. Homeroom's over and we're all alone." "Pardon? What act?" "Oh you know, the goody-goody act. It's....disturbing...." "I am sorry, but that is how I am. I will try desperately to change for you Makimachi-dono." "PLEASE! You're more polite than Himura!" "Oh....I'm very sor-" "Just cut it out. And call me Misao." "O-ok Misao-dono." Misao sweatdropped, and Yoh and Naruto laughed. "Oh, don't mind her. Just don't get on her bad side, or watch out!" Kira said. "Onee-san..." "Don't worry Kikyin. Anyway, what classes do you guys have?" "I have History, Math, Art, Lunch, Spirit Control, Free Period, then Kendo." Yoh said. "I have History, Math, Science, Lunch, Ninja Training, Free Period, then Craftsmanship." Misao said as Naruto and Sano pulled out their schedules. "History, Math, Science, Lunch, Ninja Training, Free Period, then Survival." "Strategic Studies, Math, Art, Lunch, Martial Arts, Free Period, Survival." Wow, a big variety in the group." "Hai! What do you have?" The sisters pulled out their schedules. "Hmm...I have Strategic Studies, Math, Art, Lunch, Music, Free Period, and Kendo." Kira answered. Last was Kikyin. "I have Cooking, Math, Art, Lunch, Spirit Control, Free Period, and Kendo." "What? Kikyin in Kendo? And Spirit Control? What's up with that?" "Um...it's for extra curricular?" Kira covered up last time, but this time, it won't work.

"So? Spill the beans, girl!" Misao said, with curiosity flaring in her eyes. "Well.......you see Misao-dono, I am a-"

(RING RING)

'Talk about saved by the bell!' Kikyin thought.' 'Well if you just get mad for once, you can say it freely.' 'Why do I have to have a shadow..?'

Sorry for making this chapter a bit shorter. Kira is made from continuous Pms with Kitsune-Rose 113, so give her credit for the OC Kira. Thank you!
