Yay! I got one review! I'm so happy! Thank you so much Robert Teague. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate it very much. Thank you for your comment as well. Now, on with the story.
Upon entering the room, Mr. Lancer said, "Nice to see you on time Mr. Fenton. You must be Kya. Welcome and it looks like you're going to sit next to Mr. Fenton." Kya nodded and put her bag down.
Suddenly, a blue mist came out of Danny's and Kya's mouth. Luckily, Kya had her back to Sam, Danny, and Tucker, so they didn't see it, by she didn't see Danny's ghost sense either. Danny rushed out of the room and Mr. Lancer yelled after him. Sam and Tucker looked at each other with nervous expressions.
"Mr. Lancer, I really need to go to the bathroom. Is it alright is I'm a bit late?" asked Kya.
"I suppose," said Mr. Lancer, his mind still occupied with Danny. Kya walked out of the room and went to the girls' bathroom. She waited until the last girl left and changed into her ghost form. Turning invisible, she began to search for the ghost that she had sensed.
Hearing a commotion outside, she phased through the wall to see a battle before her. Amity Park's Public Ghost Enemy Number One, Danny Phantom, was fighting a ghost with a mullet and an annoying voice.
"I, Technus, will not be defeated by a whelp like you, child! As soon as you are out of the way I, Technus, Master of—!" yelled Technus.
"Of long-winded speeches and annoying the heck out of everyone! Shut up already! I've heard your speech a hundred times!" yelled Danny. He was getting irritated that this ghost just had to show up right before class started.
Unfortunately, Danny was having a hard time defeating Technus. He had gotten stronger while he wasn't looking. Bad mistake. Danny was about to be slammed into the school wall by Technus when a plasma blast came out of nowhere, slamming the technology obsessed ghost into the ground.
"Who has attacked me? Show yourself you coward! I see, you are scared of the might of Technus!" yelled the techno ghost.
"As if," said a female ghost and Technus was once again blasted into the ground. Danny took the chance to suck the annoying ghost into the thermos. He looked around, but the ghost didn't show itself.
"What do you want?" asked Danny.
"Relax. I'm not here to cause trouble," said Kya.
"Then show yourself," said Danny and Kya slowly turned visible. "You…"
"Do you know me?" asked Kya filled with curiosity.
"N-no, I don't," said Danny.
'Lie,' said a little voice in Kya's mind.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"You can call me Dusk, and you're Danny Phantom," said Kya.
"How do you know me?"
"I've heard rumors about the famous Danny Phantom and I wanted to see if they were true; that's why I'm here. I can tell that some of those rumors are indeed true. You are strong, cute too." Danny blushed and she smirked. "Well, now that I found out what I wanted, I'll be going."
"Wait! Is that all you wanted?"
"No, but I won't tell you the other reason either."
"Why?"
"It's a little personal. I bet it's the same way with why you protect the people who hate and fear you."
"You didn't have to put it like that," said Danny looking down at the school to see all the faces of students and teachers looking up at them.
"Sorry, it's just how I see it. Hey, if you have a reason, and it's good enough for you, don't worry about what other people think. That's all that matters," said Kya.
Danny smiled and Kya returned it. "I'm starting to believe that you are a good ghost," he said.
"Never said I was a good ghost," said Kya with a smirk and Danny tensed. She began laughing and he gave her a confused look. "I'm just kidding. Look, I better get going."
"Ahh! I need to go too! Man, he's gonna kill me! Bye!" said Danny, and he disappeared. Shrugging, Kya disappeared as well. She went to the girls' bathroom and changed back into her human form. As she left the bathroom, Danny burst out of the boys' bathroom.
"Danny? So this is where you went. Are you feeling okay?" asked Kya.
"Yeah, fine," said Danny.
"Are you sure? Where'd you get that bruise?" asked Kya looking at the faint bruise on his cheek.
"Nowhere!" said Danny quickly. Kya was reminded of how she never gave explanations for her injuries.
"Let's get back to class," said Kya with a smile. Danny sighed in relief that she dropped the subject, but he could see suspicion in her eyes, and they headed back to class.
"Mr. Fenton, would you mind explaining why you ran out of class?" asked Mr. Lancer.
"I…I—," stuttered Danny.
"He wasn't feeling well. I ran into him in the hall. Would you mind if I take him to the nurse's office?" asked Kya.
"Fine, just hurry back," said Mr. Lancer and they left the room. When they were down the hall, Danny turned to her.
"Thanks for the save back there, but why? I thought you hated lies," said Danny.
"I do, but sometimes lies are needed to hide a truth that shouldn't be known," said Kya.
"W-what do you mean?" asked Danny nervously.
"You ran out for some reason and you didn't want him to know. I'll lie to help a friend," said Kya.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it. Are we actually going to the nurse?" asked Danny.
"Yes. Mr. Lancer probably called the nurse's office and told her we were coming down. We have to show up and have her check you. I'm going to ask if she has any antiseptic wash and bandages," said Kya.
"Why?" asked Danny.
"I have a scrape that I need to re-clean. I got it the other day, but it was starting to get infected so I need to keep it clean," said Kya. Danny nodded and they went into the nurse's office.
"So you weren't feeling well were you?" asked the nurse eyeing Danny.
"No, ma'am. My stomach wasn't feeling very well," said Danny.
"Ma'am, do you have any antiseptic wash and bandages?" asked Kya.
"Why?" she asked.
"I injured myself the other day and it got infected. I was told to change the bandages whenever I could," answered Kya a little annoyed at all the questions.
"I'll have to do—," she started.
"No! No, but thanks, I have a small problem with people I don't know touching me or dealing with my injuries," said Kya. The nurse scowled and told her where the wash and bandages were and then she turned back to Danny.
Kya sat on the bed next to Danny and pulled up her skirt to reveal her shin which was wrapped in bandages. She began unwrapping her leg to show burned and scabbed skin. Danny's and the nurse's eyes widened at the injury.
"You call that a scrape!" cried Danny.
"Yep, I've had worse. It happened in an accident in my parents' lab. It was my fault and I like an idiot," said Kya with a smile.
"You need to let me take a look at that!" cried the nurse.
"No! I can do it myself," said Kya and she grabbed a cotton ball and soaked it in the antiseptic wash. She dabbed at the wound, occasionally flinching.
"Kya, what caused that?" asked Danny.
"I was in my parent's lab and they were experimenting with an unknown substance with acidic properties. I bumped into the cabinet it was held in and the thing tipped and landed on my leg. The acidic substance spilled, ate through the cabinet, then my skin. I pulled my leg out from under the cabinet; that's where the scrape came from," said Kya. She finished wrapping up her leg and threw her skirt down.
Swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, she smiled. Her feet touched the floor, and when she stood, she showed no sign of having an injury.
"Well, you're fine. Now, Mr. Fenton, time to check you," said the nurse and Danny gulped.
When they were done, they left the nurse's office to go back to class. Danny eyed Kya's leg and she showed no signs of pain, no limp, nothing. When he looked at her face, she just smiled.
"How can you not limp?" asked Danny.
"I've had worse," said Kya.
"When?" asked Danny.
"About a year ago," said Kya, her eyes glazing as she remembered that frightful day.
"What happened?" Danny asked quietly.
"I…was kidnapped by a serial killer along with two other girls my age," said Kya.
"You were 14, right?" Kya nodded.
"That murderer took us to an abandoned house and tied each of us to a chair. This is where his nickname came into place."
"Nickname?"
"What he was dubbed by the police: The Torturer. Horrible name huh? Anyway, he tortured one girl while the other one and I were forced to watch. He killed the first girl and then moved onto the other and then he made his way to me. I was terrified. There was blood everywhere and that's all I could smell. He had made gashes all over my body and my vision began to get blurry because of all the blood I was losing. I was getting sick because of the smell of blood. That's when I remembered my pocketknife."
"How did that help?" Kya smiled. They were standing in the hallway, not worrying about getting back to class.
"My parents had their way with it and installed a type of laser that cut through any inanimate object. I began to cut through the ropes with is and I didn't have to worry about cutting myself and losing more blood. 'The Torturer' stood behind me and placed his blade at my neck. That's where that scar came from. I had cut through the rope by then and I leaned forward a bit, the blade cut further into my neck, then I slammed back into him. He fell back and I backed away to the other side of the room and I tripped over the bodies of the other girls. I screamed out of pure terror. He laughed and advanced on me. Then he charged, and I stood, swaying because of dizziness. When he got close, I dodged to the side and spin-kicked, hitting him in the back. He charged again, I dodged and hit him in the back of the neck. He fell to the floor unconscious. I tried the door, but it was locked and I couldn't find the key," said Kya rubbing her neck.
"It must have been terrifying. I don't know if I would be sane if that happened to me," said Danny.
"I'm not fully sane. There have been a couple of times when I've completely snapped; either breaking down crying, or trying to rip someone to shreds. Scary huh?" asked Kya.
"I think I've seen scarier," said Danny and she shrugged.
"Since I couldn't find the key, I decided for the next best thing; calling the police and screaming my head off, hoping someone would hear me. I waited and waited, curling up in the corner with my eyes on the man who wanted me dead for no reason. When I heard sirens, I got up and began banging on the door, yelling. That's when he began to wake up. He stood up with a maniacal grin and the knife in his hand, chuckling," said Kya shivering.
"Creepy," said Danny and Kya gave a light chuckle, as if she wasn't used to laughing.
"He lunged at me again as the door was slammed open. The police saw as I dodged, grabbed the knife from him, and stabbed it in his side. They ran over and detained the man and they walked over to me. I wouldn't let anyone near me so they brought in a female officer and I let her lead me away from the gruesome scene. When she began to lead me to the ambulance, I broke free and ran home. My parents were in bed, so I ran down and hid in the lab as if that was the only place that would protect me from what was outside. After a while, I took care of my injuries myself," said Kya.
"What happened to the murderer?" asked Danny.
"I helped put him on death row. I just hope he doesn't come back as a ghost," said Kya.
"Neither do I," said Danny.
"We better get back to class before Lancer decides to look for us," said Kya and Danny nodded. They got back and Lancer looked at them sternly.
"Where have you two been?" he asked.
"I asked the nurse to look at a small wound I have. Apparently it was infected, so she had to treat it," said Kya. Danny was impressed at how she lied so smoothly.
"I see. Now sit down so I can continue," said Mr. Lancer.
After class, Danny stopped Kya as Sam and Tucker got their stuff. "See you after school?" he asked and Kya nodded. Kya walked down the hall to her choir class and Danny turned to Sam and Tucker. "Guys, do you notice anything about how she walks?"
"No, why?" asked Sam.
"She has an injury on her leg. I say it when we went to the nurse. She said she got an acidic substance on her leg. She should be limping, but she's not," said Danny.
"So? You hide your injuries all the time," said Tucker.
"I've only had scratches and bruises; she's had worse. She told me that she was kidnapped and almost killed by a serial killer," said Danny.
"She told me that before P.E., but she didn't give me any details," said Sam.
"She told me everything," said Danny. "I told her that I wouldn't be sane if that happened to me, and she told me she wasn't fully sane. She said that she has snapped a couple of times."
"Wow, I feel really bad for her," said Sam.
"So, what are you getting at man?" asked Tucker.
"I don't know. Things just aren't adding up around here," said Danny.
"Since when do they ever?" asked Sam and Danny glared at her.
"Let's just get to class," said Danny.
Review! Pretty please. Thanks for reading.
