Good morning everybody! So, instead of attempting to force the story, I decided to just give ya what I gots so far, since it's already kinda long, but anyway! I love this chapter because it's in Kanda's PoV, and that's always fun. I do Tae Kwon Do, so the Mugen bit is my fave! The next few chapters will throw Kanda and Allen together more, and they'll start to find out more about each others' demons.

Kanda: WHAT?! I do Not want to be around that damned Moyashi!

Me: Too damn bad.

Kanda: Che.

Allen: Chill out Kanda, maybe it won't be too bad... Ankhesa loves us, she wouldn't do anything too drastic.

Kanda: Shut up.

Me: Don't be so sure Allen... *grins evilly* But anyways! Allen love since you're here, would you do the honours?

Allen: Yay! Ankhesa doesn't own us or DGM, but she wishes! Everything belongs to Katsura Hoshino!

Me: On with the story!

Chapter 3- First Day

Kanda's PoV

So, the Moyashi speaks Japanese... I never would have thought it. I turn over to my side, and drift off to sleep.

"No... Stop it..." I woke to Moyashi sleep talking and thrashing. I sighed, and tried to ignore it, to no avail. No choice I guess, fucking great. I dragged myself out of my bed, and went over to Moyashi's. He was still flailing erratically, and was about to fall off his bed.

"Oi! Moyashi! Wake up!" I pinned him down, and yelled at him. "Wake the fuck up, dammit!"

His eyes flew out, and he stared at me like a deer in headlights.

"K-Kanda? W-what are you doing?!" he asked, clearly frightened.

"Keeping your ass from falling off your damn bed."

"Why do you care?" he spat out.

"Because you fucking woke me up."

"Sorry."

"Che. Don't do it again." I glared at him, and noticed he was still wearing gloves. Freak show, who wears gloves to bed?

The sun was shining. We were walking together, hand in hand. Then, the sirens... the lights... the smell... the fear... the crushing loss...

No sunlight filtered through the curtains on the small window of our dorm. I sat up, stretched, and glanced at the clock. 5:30. Perfect. I got up, dressed, grabbed Mugen, and quietly slipped out.

I walked behind the school to a stand of trees, and drew Mugen. As I started the forms, I felt everything melt away. Nothing else existed except me, the sword in my hand, and my invisible opponents. There were no fears, no regrets, no pain when I performed the precise motions. The blade's swish as I swung it through the air was the only sound. It calmed my turbulent mind. This was my escape. Escape from this damn school. Escape from the Moyashi. Escape from Marie and Tiedol and their ever-present concern. Escape from reality.

Once I finished my Kendo forms, I sheathed Mugen, and assumed the meditative position. I let my mind go blank, focusing on nothing.

Eventually, I got up, it was school after all. I wasn't that much of a slacker that I would miss the first day. I collected my things from the room, and noticed the Moyashi was gone. It was already a quarter til eight, so I went ahead to my first class, science with a Mr. Reever.

I walked through the halls of the school. It seemed like any other high school. Lockers lined the walls; students shouted at each other from one end of the hall to the other. Teachers herded students towards various doors. I looked around, and saw I was getting stared at by far too many girls. I sent them all death glares, which just made them giggle like mad. Great, just what I need, fan girls...

I entered the science lab, and proceeded to the back of room.

"Hey, Yu!" Great, just fucking great.

"Don't call me that, usagi!" I snapped at Lavi. He just grinned even wider. Stupid rabbit.

"There's someone I want you to meet! This is Lenalee; her brother's the headmaster." I saw a petite Asian girl with green pigtails, and dark eyes standing next to Lavi.

"Hi! It's nice to see you again Kanda!" Lenalee said, coming over and giving me a hug.

"Get. Off."

"Aww Yu-chan, be nice!" Lavi snickered. "So, wait how do you two know each other?"

"Kanda and I used to live next door to each other until my brother got a job here. Speaking of, how is everyone Kanda?" Lenalee said. Before I could answer, the door opened, and in walked that damned Moyashi. There is no escape from him!

"Hey Allen! Over here!" Lenalee called to him. He smiled and began making his way over to us.

"No way! How are you in this class, short stack?" Lavi asked him. "I thought you would be, like, at least a sophomore!"

"Yeah I'm a sophomore, but I'm in higher level classes. I'm Allen by the way," he said, extending his hand to Lavi.

"Lavi. So, what's with the hair?"

"Lavi! You don't ask people that kind of question when you first meet them!" Lenalee chided him, looking aghast.

"It's ok, Lenalee. It's been like this for as long as I can remember." Allen replied, not at all phased by the question. That's when I noticed he was still wearing the gloves. What is with those fucking gloves? Doesn't he ever take them off?

Reever called the class to order. Lenalee, Lavi, and Moyashi took seats in front of me. I didn't give a damn about whatever it was Reever was talking about, so I tilted my head back and stared at the ceiling, waiting for the bell to ring.

The bell rang, at long last, releasing us from the class. I stood, and strode out of the room, ignoring Lavi's calls to wait. I went to my locker, and shoved my science book into it, grabbed my history book, and slammed the door. I turned, and aww, fuck! What do they want? A group of girls, a mix of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors surrounded me. Interestingly, there were no seniors in the group. Che, at least they have some sense.

"Move." I glared at them, but they just edged in closer.

"Alright! Alright! Break it up! Get going!" That damn baka usagi pushed his way through the group, towards me. Slowly the group dissappiated.

"Che. What the fuck was that for?"

"What? I can't rescue my best friend from his fangirls? I'm hurt, Yu," he mimed getting stabbed in his heart, making a pained face.

"Don't call me that, baka usagi!" Wait, best friend? When the fuck did that happen?

"Oh, good he's still in one piece! Those fan girls are something else!" Lenalee approached us. "Come on! We're going to be late!"

"Che."

By the end of the day, I found out I had five classes with Lavi, three with Lenalee, and four with the Moyashi. I'd also realized that these teachers were bat shit crazy, as was practically everyone else.

"Hey Kanda, come with us to the town!" Lenalee approached me after the last bell, with Lavi and Moyashi in tow.

"Che. No." Like hell am I going to spend all afternoon with the Moyashi and usagi. There's no fucking way.

"Come on, Yu-chan! If you don't come, you'll make our dear Lenalee cry. And you do know about her brother, don't you?" Lavi spoke with a mischievous grin plastered on his face.

"Fuck you, usagi." I sighed and turned to follow them. Lenalee squealed with delight, and began dragging me along.

"Let go of me." What did she I was going to do? Run off?

"Not until we're off school grounds! You might try to escape!" she laughed and smiled at me. That's exactly what she thinks...

"Why exactly are we going into town?" Moyashi asked.

"Because I want to go shopping!" Lenalee replied.

"It couldn't be because of your dear Niisan, now could it?" Lavi took Lenalee's other arm in his, and she let me go as we passed through the gates.

So yay! another chapter! Don't know when the next chapter will be up, if it's not up this week, it will be the week after next. (Grandma doesn't have wifi, or Starbucks. HOW WILL I SURVIVE?! O_O ) Hope you enjoyed!
