A/N: I don't own anything except Hayai!

Hayai: Oh dear...


Plane 707

An hour before landing in Tokyo, Japan

Hayai is sitting at the back of the plane, staring out the window even though she's afraid of heights… BAD! She looks up to see everyone talking, her friends at the front of the plane… roaring with laughter. She decides to stand up, to see Sasuke talking to Suigetsu and Sakura behind Kiba, Naruto and Shikamaru at the right side of the plane. On the left side, is Kankuro talking to Gaara at the front, behind them is Neji, Shino and Tenten, talking about math and how the new school is going to be like. Kankuro brought Ino and Haku (since they helped him get out of a massive trouble one time and blackmailed him for it), and Gaara only brought Hayai along. Of course, she isn't that noticeable and sits at the back… deciding to listen to music. She plucks out her black iPod out of her backpack, and puts it on Mozart. Ah yes, the sweet music fills her ears with calmness… but she changes it to put on Like a stone by Audioslave, making her look outside the window. Her dull brown eyes looks at the deep blue sea, then her mind wandering in the clouds called: Daydream.

She sees herself rocking out on that solo guitar on concert, everybody cheering for her… but then someone would be singing… and everything got quiet except the instruments that help the singer. The lone singer keeps singing, but then… the singer turns to her… and it was Gaara!

"Hayai…"

He reaches his hand to her, making her look at him in shock. She reaches her hand to engage with his, then suddenly… they're in a ballroom! Gaara leads Hayai in a Tango, and they're still in their rocker outfit. He dips her, then brings her back up.

"Hayai…"

"Yes Gaara?"

"Hayai…"

"Yes?"

"HAYAI!" Yells Gaara, making Hayai suddenly fall into a deep black abyss…!

Kiba looks at the sleeping seventeen year old, and he tried three times to wake her up by saying her name. He then yells at her, making Shikamaru say, "Kiba, her headphones are on."

"Oh, I knew that!"

Kiba takes off the headphones and yells, "HAYAI!" But his yell back fired, for Hayai woke up with a start and gives Kiba a punch in the face! She looks around and says, "Wha? Huh?! What… what is it?" She makes a deep blush, making Shikamaru sigh. "We're here." He says, making Hayai nod. She gets up from her seat and walks toward them, then says sorry to Kiba. Kiba turns to her and says, "Hayai… there's no need to be sorry! I shouldn't have yelled, plus… Naruto?! What the fuck are you doing?!" Everyone turns to the blonde, who is spilling oil in the middle of the plane.

"What? When the attendants come to check the plane, they'll slip! Plus, everyone is just going outside… we need to go quick!"

Naruto goes out of the plane, making the other three friends jump from chair to chair to avoid the oil! When they get outside, Kiba goes to Naruto and whispers, "You're a fucking bastard! That's why your my friend!" Naruto looks at him and whispers, "No, no Kiba! You accepted on being my friend!" They get in an argument, but Shikamaru (who just went in the middle of the two) elbows them in the ribs. "Shh, here comes Uchiha Itachi!" Shikamaru hisses, making the two turn their heads. They see the man with a bit more than a shoulder length hair, black eyes, and is wearing a business suit. He goes in front of everyone and says, "Hello, as you know I am Uchiha Itachi. And here we shall teach you what you've been taught at school, that's it." The kids look at each other, then follow the Uchiha and his assistant, Kisame. The see a sleek limo, making the students either nod or sort of squeal in delight. Itachi turns to Pain, the Taki High teacher (math).

"Have you bring their cars?"

"Of course, but some of them doesn't know about this. Is this wise?"

"Yes, they show such promise. As for that little girl over there, Yoshida hasn't been heard here for a while."

Pain looks over to see Hayai, who is watching Kiba and Naruto argue under their breaths. He turns to Itachi and says, "But, Tamashī and recently Miku are dead thanks due to Orochimaru, Mizuki, and "The Fourth". I can't believe we don't even know his own name, all because he said so to his gang, the Soyokaze Gang. But, Mizuki has been discharged and now Jiraiya has taken over the Kasai Gang." Itachi gives Pain a warning looks, then says to the youngsters, "Now, I have to tell you all something before we can go to Rēsu High. I'm sure your parents has read the papers of what this is all about and I'm happy more than five has entered and has got their parents to accept this. Raise your hand if you ever raced even once with someone?" Everyone except Hayai raised their hand, then suddenly… she remembers racing with someone in Kiba's car…

Flashback

Hayai is in her sophomore year, and Kiba is arguing with Kankuro! She looks at them and sighs, "Um, guys? Can't you please stop? Kiba, I have to go home." Kiba looks at Hayai, then turns back to Kankuro.

"We'll finish later you fuck!"

"Not so fast asshole! I challenge you to a race!"

"Ha! You're on!"

"No, no! I choose him to race, you choose someone to compete for you."

Kiba makes a face, then turns to Hayai… "I choose you!" Kiba says, making Hayai let her jaw go to the floor in shock! "K-K-K-Kiba?! You know I can't drive yet!" Hayai tells him, knowing her mother invalids her to drive. Kiba huffs and says, "You can take that hooded freak! Here's my keys, and Hayai…" Kiba goes near her and whispers, "Try to make a few dents, so I can finally have my mom to buy me a new car." Hayai turns to the hooded figure, who is wearing plain jeans, sneakers, a hooded jacket that is red with a black strip that goes from the left arm over the hood and over to the left arm. She swallows, thinking, Why is this happening to me?!

At an abandon street

Hayai is in Kiba's Koenigsegg CCR, but it's in horrid condition... and the roof is gone. She swallows, then turns to see a sleek white Veyron with a red streak on it's sides. They're now side by side, and Hayai swallows. She turns to the hooded figure and says, "I'm sorry!" The hooded figure turns to her, then turns back at the road. The hooded person sticks his hand inside the passenger window and places a piece of paper in it, then puts it back on the wheel. Hayai picks up the piece of paper and reads it:

Hello, Hayai. Good luck.

She makes a blush, to see that the hooded figure is staring at her. She can't see the mysterious person's face… but she can feel the person's eyes staring into her own. Kiba goes in front of the cars and says, "Drivers! All you have to do is go toward the end of the street and come back! That's it!" He runs away to the sidewalk, then yells, "3! 2! 1! GO!" The cars screech as they blast toward the end of the long street. Hayai's heart is racing fast, and her red bow blows off her hair… making her hair look like silver flames! She swallows as she sees the end of the street, and does a full drift to the other way. She drives, but looks as the Veyron has to make a sharp turn… but still tries to turn fully around. Hayai stomps on the gas, driving fast… and faster until she slams on the brakes!

Flashback over

Hayai raises her hand high in the air, remembering that race… her first race. But, her mother found out due to Ryo boasting how great the race was (who Kiba told). She looks at Itachi, who has a big smile on his face.

"Alright everyone, come inside the limo. Once we enter the school, you shall have two choices at the end of the school year to either leave to America or to stay in this school and allow your passion of the road lead you to greatness."

Itachi lets the students in the limo, but Hayai swallows. She, of course, is the last in the limo. Hayai makes a sigh and ends up at the back of the limo, just like in that plane. Hayai can see the other resuming talking, and Sasuke is being smothered by Sakura and Ino… making him regret taking Sakura. Hayai makes a small smile, at least she can see a bit of torture. She then makes a sigh though, and looks out the window as they drive through Tokyo. The buildings, lights, and many people on the street… makes it impossible for the limo to drive right. Hayai blinks at the people, then turns to the left to see no one sitting behind her. But, there's a lone piece of paper siting elegantly beside her. Hayai tilts her head, then picks up the note and it reads:

Hayai.

That's all it says, making her swallow. She knows it wasn't there before she got it, so she looks ahead to see who did it or looks suspicious. But no one looks like they gave her the mysterious note, making Hayai sit back down. She then thinks, Could that mysterious person… be among this group? If yes, then who? Or… or… is this some trick? What did I do to deserve this?! Why? Hayai shoves it in her pocket, then lies on the empty seat… just to fill it and maybe fall asleep. Hayai closes her eyes, hoping to take a little baby nap to sleep off the loneliness.

"May I?"

Hayai opens her eyes and looks up, to see Gaara holding And Then There Were None. She swallows and gets up, saying, "Of course! I mean… yes." Gaara nods and sits next to her, opening his book to the page he stopped on. Hayai looks away, but he asks a question, "Why are you by yourself?" She looks at him, but he's reading. Hayai nods, he's multitasking. She says, "I… I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Well, I'm not needed at the moment."

"So you wait until your "needed"?"

"I… I want to be with them. But it's the same as being by myself, until they talk to me… I'm not needed."

Gaara puts in his bookmark and closes his book, looking forward. "I understand." He says, then looks at her without moving his head. "Are you interested in horror, adventure, or romance?" Gaara asks, making Hayai blush. She makes a smile and replies, "Adventure." Gaara turns to her, his eyes staring deep into her dull brown ones.

"Favorite color?"

"Uh… red."

"Why?"

"Roses."

"Hmm, you favorite genre is romance." He says, making Hayai blink at him. "Huh?" She asks, making him say, "I can tell. Sometimes due to the favorite color of a person, and the reason… determines the genre of one's favorite." Hayai looks away, making him say, "I'm not the one to judge, but of you didn't look like the type of girl to read horror when you first gave it to me that split second. But I was too happy to finally read something good for a change, so I guess I didn't think for a while." He holds up the book, then looks back at Hayai. She makes a nervous smile, her heart races, and her palms are getting sweaty! No! Now's not the time to get all nervous! NO, NO, NO, NO-

"Hayai."

She opens her eyes and looks at Gaara, who just blinks at her. "Are you alright?" He asks, making her nods violently. "Yes! I'm fine!" Hayai replies, making him look away. Hayai can feel the silence settling in between them, and she doesn't like it! She opens her mouth to say something, but he gets up and says, "Thank you, Hayai." He stumbles toward his brother and sits down next to him, opening his book to read. Hayai closes her mouth, and a bit of tears crawl down her face. I… did it mess up? Did I say something wrong? She thinks, then lays back down on the long row of chairs. She closes her eyes and tries to take a little nap, her heart still beating. Hayai decides to face the backseat, so she does and makes a long sigh. Hayai closes her eyes and breathes normally… then feels a hand pet her head. She swallows and turns slowly, her eyes still closed. She then opens them, to only see darkness by the hand covering her eyes. Hayai shivers, but another hand holds onto hers… making her feel… safe.

"Who… who are you?!"

"…"

The limo stops, and everyone gets out… even the mysterious person. Hayai's vision is blocked by a piece of paper, she gets up and see it. She then reads it:

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of The Fourth.

Hayai wonders what the note means, then gets off the limo with the others. She then gaps at the school with eyes of awe, the school looks more like a temple than a school! Itachi clears his throat and says, "Everyone… welcome to Rēsu High School."
