Part two, coming right up!


Chapter 2

Eagle stepped into the office and dropped his book bag into the nearest chair. The principal looked up and smiled at him.
"Good morning Eagle, thanks for coming!"
"Oh, it was no problem, Mr. Antolini." Eagle smiled the famous smile again.
"Yes, if you'll just follow me, you can come meet the new student." Eagle followed Mr. Antolini down the hallway. "Right in here, if you please-"
"Mr. Antolini!" The voice came from behind them. Mr. Antolini and Eagle both paused. It was one of the secretaries. "I'm sorry to bother you sir, but there's a man on the phone, something about a delivery of fifty pizzas...?"
"Oh, watashi no kami-sama!" Mr. Antolini muttered under his breath. Eagle hid a smile behind his hand. "Well, Eagle, you can just go on in and talk to him by yourself, and I'll be there in a few. Okay?" Eagle nodded, and Mr. Antolini scuttered down the hallway, muttering something about "those damn deviants and their [expletive] pranks." Laughing, Eagle turned and opened the door to the office, stepping inside and shutting the door behind him. Turning around, he put on his usual smile.
"Hi, I-" he cut off, blinking in astonishment. The student in front of him was like no other person he had seen before. It wasn't even his looks that was so strange...Eagle just couldn't fathom it. He had a way about him, almost a feeling, that was completely different from everyone else Eagle had ever met. He was taller than Eagle by a good foot, but not as built as Geo. In fact, he was rather lanky. His eyes were a brilliant shade of azure blue, and he stared solemnly down at Eagle. Eagle shook it off.
"I'm Eagle Vision!" he finished, grinning again. The person said nothing. "What's your name?" Eagle finally asked, confused as to why the boy wouldn't talk. Finally, the new student spoke up.
"Lantis Darkhorse." The voice also gave Eagle a start. Deep and resounding, it sounded like the most beautiful music.
"Well, I'm supposed to show you around," Eagle continued. "Do you have your schedule?" Lantis handed it over silently. Eagle gave it a quick once over. "Wow! It looks like we have all our classes together! That's strange!" He laughed, a nervous habit. This new student certainly was making him nervous. The laugh seemed to put him slightly more at ease; the ebony-haired boy cracked a small smile. "Well, is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go first, or do you just want to follow the schedule?"
The boy shrugged. "Just follow the schedule, I guess."
Eagle smiled. "Okay then! Just let me grab my stuff, and we'll be on our way!" Eagle turned to go, checking once quickly over his shoulder to make sure that Lantis was following. There was something about the guy that he liked...but there was also something strange about him. Strange...and *very* unsettling.

A/N: Well, what do you think? Part two is done. I wasn't sure whether or not to end it there, but in light of revelations of what's to come, apparently this would be the best way. Yeah...see, it seems to me that I don't make up my stories, they come to me. That's why I always say "apparently" when I'm telling the story line...yeah...and I'm shutting up now. Thanks to Marcy again, for her idea for Lantis' last name! A whoo and a hoo and a moo! Please review, I LOVE YOU!!!
