"Uh-um...Students... C-could you quiet down please? I have an announcement to make." Tom-Tom was fidgeting. One hand pulling down on the bottom of her revealing dress and the other in a nervous fist on her chin.
Trying to get the attention of the students who were making ruckus, play fighting, gossiping, or sleeping, she tried again but with no luck. Ringo, who had enough, yelled at everyone to quiet down. Tom-Tom looked relieved and announced in a cheerful tone, "Everyone we have a new student today." She made a gesture signaling the girl outside to come in as she wrote her name on the board. It read 'Kattlyn Night,' in Japanese kanji of course.
Kat came in with the school uniform on and black mini leggings like Ringo's underneath. To give her some individuality, she had on fingerless gloves and a little black evil looking kitty head with a super-toothy smile and a pink bow on it's left ear for a hair clip. Kat to the class and spoke in perfect Japanese as she bowed. "My name is Kattlyn Night, but I would prefer it if you called me Kat."
The class welcomed her. There we're whistles from some of the guys, angry glares from some girls, calculating stares from a couple of students, and a big hello from Akito in the back. "Let's see... You can sit by Akito!" Tom-Tom said enthusiastically.
When Kat sat down she was immediately rushed by several students asking her countless questions at once.
"You're from America right?"
"Uh... y-yes." She was a bit taken aback by the rush of people.
"You're hair's so pretty where do you get it done?"
"A friend does it for me."
"Are you going out with any one?"
"N-no!"
"Well would you like to go out with me? I'll show you a real fun time." Onigiri was licking his lips.
"No." Kat answered in a firm and cold tone with an icy glare.
While some guys were comforting him as he moped in a corner, Emily was admiring Kat's hair clip. "Hey my cousin has one of those!"
Kat had a spark in her eyes as she finally found a conversation worth picking up. "Really? Where did she get it?"
"I don't know. Her best friend mailed it to her from America since she was going to miss her birthday." Kat sighed at the lack of useful information from the girl. "Oh that's right I forgot to introduce myself!" Emily panicked, clearly embarrassed by her lack of etiquette. "My name is Emily Adachi. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said while bowing.
Kat smiled. "It's good to meet you to." She half copied her since she was sitting in a chair instead of standing.
Lunch break finally came and Kat let out a sigh. It felt like forever in that classroom. Sure she already finished middle school in America so she already knew what Tom-Tom was teaching about even with all her vague explanations, but History was always her worst subject and since Japan wasn't even her home country that made it even harder. Oh well, at least I was able to get away from all the ruckus 'cuz that Ikki and Kazu were going at it.
She gave out another sigh she was tired already. Still walking, Kat found a stair case and climbed it to the roof. When she opened the door the wind was blowing ever so freely. A smile rose on her face as she felt the breeze and looked at the clouds. Kat raised her arms up to give herself a good stretch closed the door and leaped on top of the structure the door was embedded in and laid her self down to face the sky. (I forgot the name so i just called in a structureT-T)
"Ugh! How'd I get myself into this anyways?... Let's sssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Spitfire was pissed..." She closed her eyes to get a good image of the event after her little meeting.
"I don't understand how you could be so RECKLESS!" As stated before, Spitfire was mad and was uncharacteristically chewing her out. Kat's mask was off and her eyes were narrowed, staring at the floor as she sat legs together with her hands in her lap. "Well?"
Mind racing with thoughts, she finally looked up at him with an unwavering voice and serious eyes and spoke. "Spitfire have you ever heard of the rhythm regalia?"
Diana sighed and Spitfire cooled down while Yuri was entranced with what was going on, both relived to see Spitfire calm down and disappointed to see Kat's troublesome situation dissipate.
"Is that why you did this?" Diana questioned her eyes narrowing.
Yuri perked up at the sound of a name she did not know. "Rhythm regalia? What's that?"
"It's something that Kat shouldn't be looking for."
"But Dian-"
"NO BUTS! What you did tonight was reckless and irresponsible!" The woman was rarely angry but being sick with worry had tipped her over the edge.
Footsteps were coming down the stairs and Kat's eyes widened. "Aw come on sis, don't be like that."
"ATHENA!" The little teenager ran to hug the woman she hadn't seen in years and snuggled close with a smile plastered on her face. "ATHENA ATHENa ATHEna ATHena AThena Athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena athena..." She actually said her name a lot more than that, but afterwrds she finally aqueaked in a low, muffled voice, "I missed you."
Athena's eyes softened as she returned the hug with a smile. "I missed you too kiddo."
Diana sighed. She could never be too angry when her younger sister was around and seeing Kat like that made it even worse.
Spitfire butted in. "But still no matter how much I would hate to, we have to have some kind of punishment for you." Kat flinched and Yuri had a devilish grin. She could wait to see what the other girl had in store.
And next thing I knew I was going to school. Kat frowned. What's that Spitfire thinking, I know he has something planned but I can't make out what.
"Oy! That's my spot." Kat opened her eyes to see a blue haired boy with an eye patch blocking her view of the sky... And it irritated her.
"So." She said narrowing her eyes, "I didn't see you're name any where or anything else indicating that this is your spot." She turned over on her side so that she wouldn't be facing him and closed her eyes.
"Why you-"Agito started but then he was interrupted.
"You know what, I don't feel like arguing." Kat stated nonchalantly while sitting up. Before he could say anything else she stood up and then jumped off where she stood with him, doing a beautiful flip and landed on the rooftop. Too much was on her mind at the moment so she barely noticed the group of kids staring at her. One hand in her school sweater pocket, she waved the other without looking back and said "See ya." Then she came to a stop as the door to the roof burst open.
"Kat! Kat! Congratulations! You made it in time for the field trip!" A peppy blond in a really short mini dress exclaimed. The wind blew behind her and a certain three boys moved like lightning to get the perfect view.
"Sensei?" Tom-Tom rushed her with a few papers and a large smile.
"Yes your brother just came with the money." She handed her the papers. "So here are the the rules and regulations and other stuff you might need to know."
Just as she was leaving, Kat snapped out of her dumbfounded state. "Hey wait! Where are we even going on this field trip?"
"Hm? Kyoto... Didn't you know?"Tom-Tom had a puzzled look on her face.
She jumped at the sound of a man's yelling voice. "Tomita! Hurry up and get in here we have work to do!"
"Sorry Orihara-sensei!" She called back. "Will I'll be going now." She said while bowing, and guess who was behind her. When she noticed them she shrieked and kept rambling on about perverts and molesters wanting to take advantage of her until she ran away in tears.
Kat raised an eyebrow at the little scene that just happened. Okay then... "But Kyoto..." She wondered out loud not realizing that everyone on the rooftop staring at her. "Of course! That must be what Spitfire has planned."
Saying that last sentence so loud and saying it like she was familiar to the flame headed Storm Rider caught everyone's attention. Ikki drew her out of her own little world by saying you know "Spitfire so most likely you're a Storm Rider."
Oops, I goofed. Without sweat dropping or showing it on her face, Kat inwardly scolded herself. "Depends. What happens if I am?"
Ikki was looking all cool and serious. "Then..." He broke out in a a big warm, friendly smile and said. "Why don't you join my team?" It was at that moment that Kat accidentally let the shock and wonder show on her face.
She regained herself but stuttered and said a little too loudly, "A-and what makes you think I would do that?"
"Well.. uuuh..."
"Have you even considered the possibility that I may already be on a team?"
Ikki scratched his head. "Well, no... but are you?"
Kat sighed. "No, but why would I join a team when I don't even know who you guys are?"
Ikki still being an idiot either did it on purpose or mistook the meaning of the question. "Oh, if that's the problem then let me introduce you. The skinny one with the bean hat over there's Kazu, the big fat one's Buccha, the little fat one's Onigiri, their more like supporters but that's Emily, Yayoi, and Ringo whose probably more like a mentor... And then there's me: The handsome and gracious leader Ikki Minami at your service." He held her hand in a "gentlemanly" manner, gaining unnoticed attention from Ringo. "Oh yea and the grumpy on on the rooftop's Agito." Agito just responded with a grunt and rolled over on his side do he wouldn't have to face them. "But switch the eye patch and its a complete 180."
Just then the bell rang. Ringo ran up and grabbed Ikki while making an excuse to cover up her jealousy. "Well come on Ikki we have to get back to class."
Everyone left ahead leaving Kat to walk slowly after them. Just then Agito jumped down in front of the door, blocking her way, his eyes narrowed. "Is something the matter?" She asked him.
"You're the Black Cat... aren't you?" It sounded more like a challenge, daring her to say no, than a question.
Kat smirked and walked up close to him so they were both face to face, obviously enjoying this "game." "Maybe, maybe not." And with that she trotted on by not needing to see the look on his face. Spitfire just what are you thinking?... Either way I'll have my fun... Kat giggled to herself as she strolled down the hallway, but then she had a thoughtful frown. ... Wait whose the Black Cat, is that what they're calling me... I like it!
