Me: 'Sup guys, this is a fun chapter.. the girls are particularly happy with me about it, also a new character is introduced, you guys'll like her, she's none other than the cheerful, yet organized; Azusa Nakano from the hit pop anime K-on! stay tuned..
Kaitlyn:Hey! you stole my line *Pouts*
Me: Sorry...
Kaitlyn: Wait, is this the one that me and Oniichan end up in the same class in?
Me:Dude! no spoilers.. Ah well cats out of the bag now haha

The teacher enters class with a grave look on his face.

"Class, I have some news. The school board, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to split year levels into two groups, human and meta-human, now given the low number of meta-humans in this particular school, all of you will be placed into one class encompassing all three year levels."

As he finishes dropping this bombshell, I look over to Hanako and see my own shocked expression mirrored flawlessly upon her face. There was just one thing in particular I was curious about.

"Sir, who exactly is teaching the class for us metahumans?" This question is met with gasps of shock from the entire class as my own question leaves Koizumi's mouth before I even have the chance to finish fully thinking it.

Wait a second... Koizumi, can you hear me?

Yes, and to answer your next question I'm a telepathic and telekinetic mutant.

Cool, nice to know I'm not the only one.

You already knew that after walking Hanako home last night... mind-reader remember?

Right.

"Your new teacher comes highly reccomended by Charles Xaviers school for gifted youngsters, her name is Jean Grey." I whisper to Hanako beside me;

"Jean Grey, also called Phoenix is one of the most powerful telepaths to ever live."

"What's she doing here?"

"I have no clue." Suddenly the teacher is introducing Jean, or Professor Grey as we are now to call her, to the entire class.

"Now would Professor Grey's new students please stand and accompany her to your new classroom, professor do you have your attendance sheet?"

"I do sir thank you, would Hisao Koizumi, Kyle McArthur and Hanako Ikezawa please stand and follow me to our new classroom." As Hanako and I stand I take note of Hisao Koizumi; roughly Hanakos height, so still shorter than me. His hair is light brown and spiked back like so many anime characters.

His eyes almost match his hair colour and his skin is a tribute to his athleticism, a deep shade of golden brown almost, dare I say it... caramel coloured. So either he's part Indian or he gets a lot of sun, I'm going with the second we walk down the hall, I contemplate something briefly before coming to a decision.

Professor Grey, can you hear me?

Yes Kyle, was there something in particular you wanted to discuss?

Well, I don't mean to sound rude but, what's a mutant of your calibre doing here?

Your headmaster reached out to professor Xavier, seems that if the school board is to insist that metahumans be taught by themselves he wanted them taught by the best.

At this point in the conversation we stop at a year two class, presumably between our old room and our new one. "Wait here you three I need to pick up another student.

She goes in and comes back with a girl who introduces herself as Azusa Nakano as we head to our new room once again I give her subtly assess our new classmate; about half a foot shorter than Hanako, making her roughly a foot shorter than me. She has purple hair tied back in pig tails that reach to her hips, pale skin and bright violet eyes.

Cute, pretty even. But nowhere near as cute as Hana-chan. After my assessment is finished I return to my conversation with Professor Grey.

So why send you of all people, Why not Ororo, or someone like that?

I was the only available mutant with a grasp of Japanese so the Professor sent me, Logan is the only other X-man besides the professor with a knowledge of

Japanese, but he's currently on a similar assignment in Russia with Peter Rasputin, Colossus as you may know him. And Ororo is currently in Africa, Egypt specifically if I recall correctly doing the same thing there.

But why send anyone, is it really his problem? I mean he has no ties to us, pretty sure he's never met the Headmaster who's never even left the city. So why respond at all?

Charles Xavier is one of the most selfless mutants I have ever met, he doesn't see this as a problem but rather as a way to better all of mutant-kind.

That's a very large endeavour for one man. The Phoenix chuckles at this.

"Those are some fairly deep thoughts running through your head young Kyle, but this conversation will have to be continued later, here's your new classroom students, go inside and choose a desk, maybe get better acquainted while I go and collect the rest of your class from the first year classes." And with that she leaves us to our own devices.

"Well we already know one student that she'll be dragging back here." I direct this comment to Hanako who giggles as I accompany my statement with an eye roll. "Yeah, but I bet she'll be excited to be in the same class as you."

"You kidding, she's going to hate it, might be happy you're here though." It's at this point that we're reminded that we aren't alone as Azusa pipes up with a question.

"Who are you guys talking about?"

"My little sister, she's a first year and she has powers too so now I'm going to have to put up with her in my class." I respond to Azusas question with a sigh but I am secretly glad that I'll be there to calm her if she loses control of her powers.

"So Nakano, what are your powers if you don't mind me asking, after all I already know Koizumi's and Hanako's."

"Nothing special really, I'm pyrokinetic. Not many non-combat applications to a power like mine, senpai." She points this out with a sad look and a small sigh.

"Well, I think it's an awesome power, and you're officially invited if I ever go camping." I say this with a smile to let her know im only joking, not teasing her. I'm pleased to see that her face lights up considerably at my comment.

It's at this point however that I notice Hanako standing... slightly cowering behind me, trying to hide from Azusa, it takes me a minute to realise why and when I do I silently scold myself for my density before turning to her, placing a hand on her shoulder and whisper softly to her.

"Hey Hanako, its ok. Azusa won't hurt you, I doubt she'd even want to try. But I won't let her if she does..."

"I-it's not just that, I don't want to glean her ability, I don't think I could cope with the ability to control fire."

"Oh, well your power needs contact the first time around right? So just don't touch her and you'll be fine." I say this with a smile and give her a hug in the hopes of calming her down a little. As she wraps her arms around my waist we hear a voice from the direction of the door.

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?"
Hanako and I respond to the question by leaping apart as if the other of us just caught fire.

"N-no ma'am, of course not. I was just trying to cheer Hanako-chan up a little thats all..."

"Then in that case allow me to introduce the rest of your class, Kyle I believe that the two of you are already acquainted"

"Being related does that miss." I say with a slight cheeky grin.

"For those of you who aren't related to her, this is Kaitlyn McArthur."

"Nice to meet you Kaitlyn." Was Koizumi's polite greeting, Azusa on the other hand was far friendlier to the more-solemn-than-usual Kaitlyn and greeted her with a smile, a "Hi" and a warm hug, which a shocked Kaitlyn (to my surprise) returned.

"And now to business, class is in session as of now, please take a seat."

Hanako sits at the end so I decide with a smile in her direction to sit beside her. To no-ones surprise Kaitlyn sits on my other side, to her surprise Azusa decides to sit beside her.

Koizumi silently takes a seat in the row behind, by personal choice I decide as there are two empty seats still in the front row at Azusas other side. Class then commences and continues pretty much as normal.
