Soubi Agatsuma and Ritsuka Aoyagi walked home silently after that. Neither could think of anything to say. The fact that a Fighter was now located in the young Sacrifices school, was serious. Ritsuka, who had recently turned 14, looked up towards his Fighter. He wondered what the Sentouki was thinking about. Soubi was now 22, being 8 years older then his small Sacrifice, Ritsuka.

"Soubi?"

"Yes?" ...Ritsuka waited for a moment. Then he asked, "Is it really THAT bad...Having a Fighter at school I mean..." The Sacrifice looked at his Fighter curiously.

"Well, it depends on why they are there. Or whether they even know they are a fighter." The older male stated simply. Ritsuka took that to thought.

'Could Rain possibly be the new Fighter...?' They continued walking in silence, until Ritsuka's house came into view.

"See you tomorrow Soubi!" the young Sacrifice called, as his Sentouki started to walk home. Ritsuka walked up to the front door, and opened it. His mother was waiting for him.

"Ritsuka! Did you have a good day at school?" Misaki asked him. He nodded and went to his room. Not wanting to be hit or anything of that sort.

Rain walked down the busy streets towards her house. She sighed. She really hated this whole situation. Living with them, now going to school...She frowned.

'This is going to be torture...' She thought bitterly. When she got home, she saw that Kazuki and Mitsu weren't there. There was a note on the table.

Rain,

Take care of the house...We'll be back by tomorrow morning...Or late tonight. Dunno yet. Eat something and go to bed.

Mitsu.

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes and made a sandwich. She went to her room and layed down on the bed. She sat there, eating her sandwich, and thinking. Thinking about what it was going to be like, for the rest of the year. She fell asleep soon after.

Rain woke up the next day, headed to the shower, washed her hair, and got dressed. She went down stairs and the first thing she smelled, was liquor. She wrinkled her nose and left the house quickly. She didn't need to get hit by a drunken Kazuki or Mitsu, right before school. She walked slowly to school. She woke up earlier then usual today. She wondered what school would be like today...And sighed.

A boy woke up early. He was starting middle school today. He got out of bed and got into the shower. He washed his hair and out on the "stupid" red and black uniform. He brushed his semi long hair and grabbed his bag.

The boy had black hair, with longer bangs. His hair in the back was almost to his shoulders, but still cut so it wasn't like a girls hair. He was about 5 foot 11 inches tall. He was slightly muscular, but not really buff. His eyes were a piercing bright green. And he had two black cat ears, situated on top of his head.

He left his room and got some breakfast, and then proceeded to walk out the door. The last thing you could see of the boy, was his fluffed out cat-like tail.

Rain continued to walk through the streets, noting how many teenagers were actually wearing school uniforms. There were more then she had first thought. She sighed, she hated going to school. She hated that her 'parents' were her guardians. She hated that everyone in the class was trying to be nice to her. She hated that...

Her thought was cut off as she walked into someone who was coming around a corner. She would have fallen if said person hadn't caught her first. Her silver/grey eyes opened to see a pair of piercing green eyes. Her eyes widened slightly as she realized it was a boy. She got out of his arms and looked at him. She didn't recognize him so...That meant he was new...Right?

She looked at him more closely, noting that he was about 4 inches taller then her, her height being 5 foot 7 inches. She also noticed his black hair wasn't long...Like Yayoi-san, but it was longer then Ritsuka-kun's. She frowned as he smiled at her. She then noticed he had a pair of cat like ears on top of his head, and a tail, and fang-like canine teeth, and slightly longer then average nails.

She decided to smile back. Maybe school wouldn't be so bad now. Now that she wasn't the only hybrid. Maybe this boy would like her for her, not because he pitied her.

"You're new, right?" She was going to help him if he needed it. His face flushed slightly. 'Why is he blushing? I wonder...'

"Y-yea, meh first day." He laughed a little. Rain heard someone call her name.

"Ugh..." She groaned.

"What is wrong?" He looked at her, questioning her action.

"Oh...Nothing really." She turned to face the who had called her and waved, saying. "Ohayo Yuiko-san!" She smiled a little. She realized she didn't know this boy's name.

"I'm Rain, by the way. Who are you?" She returned her attention to the black-haired, cat-eared boy in front of her.

"Oh. Right, my name is Leon." He smiled as he said this. Rain looked at him for a moment. And then she smiled back. Yuiko, Yayoi, and Ritsuka were there by now. So, Rain introduced everyone. Which shocked the aforementioned,

"This is Leon. Leon, this is Yuiko." She pointed to a pink-haired girl, Leon smiled at the new girl. "This is Yayoi." She continued. Leon looked at the boy with the hip length green/blue-ish color hair. The boy, now known as Yayoi, smiled at him. "And this, Is Ritsuka-kun." She pointed at a black haired boy with violet eyes. Leon's eyes widened a little. He regained his composure, and smiled at Ritsuka.

"Hi." He said. Rain then started to walk forward, wrapping her slender fingers around Leon's wrist.

"Come on. I will help you find your way around, ok?" She smiled at him, and Yuiko, Yayoi, and Ritsuka were all surprised by how much she had warmed up to him. They all exchanged a glance before walking into the school as well.

Who is this new kid? Why did he show up around the same time as Rain? Hmmm...Whats up with the new Fighter in Ritsuka's school. Is Leon a Sacrifice, or a Fighter? What is Rain? What is her true name? All these questions, and more, to be answered eventually!1BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
