Disclaimer: I thought I told you already…*sweatdrop*
White Haired Angel
Chapter 2
*Miranda's POV*
Ryou and I ended up having a lot more classes together. Wow! I haven't felt like this since my parents were still alive. I feel so much better. I feel like I …belong.
Lunchtime. I looked around for somewhere to go feeling alone again. I didn't know anyone and I guess that's okay. It would be nice if someone would introduce themselves like… Ryou had. Why do I feel this way when I think about him? I feel butterflies in my stomach every time. But then I think about that other boy who looked almost just like him. Maybe they were brothers.
I walked further out and sat at the base of a tree. Sighing, I decided to do my homework. I would normally read but I purposely left my book at home so I would do other things instead. I guess that didn't work. First day and I have loads of homework.
After about 10 minutes I had finished my Geometry and my History. Too easy. I was about to start my English when a shadow cast itself over me. Startled, I looked up to see….
*Ryou's POV*
I don't know how long I sat next to Seto and told myself to go over to her and say something but I finally gathered the courage and got up.
"Hey, minna, I'll be right back." Not waiting for their replies, I turned and headed over to the tree she was sitting against. When I reached her, she immediately looked up, startled. Startled? Was she expecting no one to talk to her? Crouching down a bit, I looked to see what she was doing. "Homework? Aren't you lonely over here?" She looked in the other direction sorrowfully.
"Yeah," she murmured. At this, as though it was a reflex, I grabbed her hand.
"Come on." She looked confused at first but then got up and followed. So now I was leading her along by her hand, hoping she didn't see the blush across my face. Though, it's kind of hard to hide with a pale face like mine. As I got back to the others, they looked up. "You guys remember Miranda-chan from this morning, ne?"
"Yeah, hi Miranda, I'm Yugi." After he was finished I decided to make things easier for everyone and named each person as I pointed to them.
"And that's Jou, Seto, Honda, Miyu, Yami…" Miyu leaned against Yami who still looked like he regretted coming to school today. He and Bakura have been like that since they started about three weeks ago. Mine and Yugi's fault.
"I'm Tamashi and this is Yoko," said the blue-eyed light brunette. He, in turn, pointed to a green-eyed blonde girl. I felt Miranda tug on my jacket.
"Ryou-kun…" I turned red again. "Who's that?" She pointed up into the tree we were sitting near at the white haired demon.
"Oh, that's Bakura." She seemed to be very interested in Bakura, Yugi, and Yami. I really don't blame her.
"Come on, Miranda, sit with us," Yoko said.
"O-okay. Let me go get my stuff…" I watched as she spun around to get her bag. I then jumped and yelped as Jou slammed his hand on my shoulder.
"Someone's gotta crush." He told me in a singsong tone. I blushed again. Arigato, Jou. And here it had probably just vanished from my face. Not anymore.
"That hurt," I whined, trying to change the subject. He looked at his hand like he was trying to figure out what I was talking about.
"Oh, gomen."
"Hai, hai," I mumble. He gave me a grin.
"Well."
"Well what?"
"I'm right, ne?" At this point I want to go into a corner and hide because now the rest of the group was staring at me. I didn't even look, I could feel it. Don't you hate it when you're minding your own business and you can feel when someone is watching you. Gives me the creeps, especially when its Bakura. Even if I didn't do anything wrong he'll stare. I guess he just likes to do it. But thankfully, Miranda had come back over so everyone went back to what they were doing. This was going to be a long day.

*Miranda's POV*
The rest of the day seemed to go uneventful. My last class was Biology. Joy. Please note the sarcasm. Anyway, I stared at the clock whenever I could always see one minute go by. Finally, I got fed up and started drawing on a random paper. I wasn't paying attention to anyone or anything. Not even what I was drawing. When the bell finally rang, I 'woke up' and came back to reality. Thankfully, Aoki-sensei didn't notice my trip to my own world so I wasn't in trouble. I was about to close my trapper when I say what I had drawn. It was the word 'Ryou' in bubble letters with shadowing.
"Ame-san?" My head shot up as Aoki-sensei called to me.
"H-hai," I answered. I heard she was scary and that she acted like a drill sergeant more than a teacher. Most of her students were afraid to answer her questions.
"Aren't you going to miss the bus?" I paled. That was my only way home. Obachan didn't drive so I would have to walk home.
"Arigato," I said, zipping out the door and down the hall.
Much to my disappointment, the bus was turning down the school 'driveway' as they called it because it was so long. The school was basically in the middle of nowhere. It was a good walk before I left the school property. [1] "Great. Just great. Guess I have a long walk home." Sighing, I turned towards the school to go call my obachan to tell her I would be late when I saw ..him.
"Konbanwa, [2] Miranda-chan. I thought I would walk home with you," Ryou said.
"Demo…" [3]
"You take my bus. I saw you this morning. I noticed you weren't going to make it."
"Oh."
"You don't mind, ne?"
"Oh, iie! Not at all. I just have to call and tell my obachan that I'm going to be late. Okay?"
"Okay." After calling and telling her I would be late I met Ryou out in the front and we started our 'long journey' home. I didn't mind. Ryou was with me.
TBC…
Index:
1. My high school is like that. The driveway is like its own highway. And it does seem like its in the middle of nowhere.
2. Konbanwa - Good Evening
3. Demo… - But…
That was a little short too. But I thought it would be a perfect ending for this chapter so… But I will have another chapter though I would like some reviews before I put the next one up. Oh, yeah! Did you notice that Anzu isn't in this? She will make no appearance what so ever. I hate her.
