Hey everyone! Got a new chap for you guys! Hope you enjoy it!

Incent Racelis: Thank you. I plan on continuing! :D:D

Now on with the story…A Promise to Keep.

AN: The Element Clan is a pretty powerful family of witches. They are highly respected by all witches and warlocks. The Legacy of Witch Angel continues but only through the witches and warlocks. Everyone else seemed to have forgotten. Karen is the daughter of the leader of the Clan, her mother…Also if you watch DBZ and seen the episode where Gohan goes to school, that's how I imagine the classroom's settings. Ummm……I think that's it for this chapter.

Chapter One: Meeting

~ Standard disclaimers apply ~

Alongside the principal, clad in the uniform of a typical school girl, walks a slender, young female. Her pale yellow hair (almost to the point of being white) hair is back in a braid. The sounds of her shoes give her an eerie yet authorative aura. Her deep sapphire eyes look thoughtful, but somehow annoyed.

"Karen, is this wise?"

"As a fellow warlock, you should know to respect the commands of the leader of the Element Clan. It is my duty as well as it is yours."

"I see."

"I'm just annoyed that he found me so quickly."

The pair continue their way, and stop at a door.

"Karen, may I ask why he wants you?"

The young female smirks, "I think you just did."

Her smile disappears, "Aside from lust? I am the last one to know how to summon Witch Angel. A powerful being that has been forgotten as the time flows past."

"That is true." He knows on the door. A haggard, old face appears before Karen and the principal, "Hello sir. How may I help you?"

"You look tired, old friend. Let me take care of the class while you go relax in the lounge. Before you go, I'd like you to meet a new student, Natsunaga Karen."

Karen curtsies before the professor.

"Natsunaga? She doesn't look Japanese to me."

"My mother is an American, sir."

"Her father is a respected man, but allow me to take care of the class."

"All right. Come in."

The door opens wider, and the pair, standing in the hallway, enter the classroom. The class becomes quiet instantly.

"Everyone. I will take over from here." To the professor, "It's all right. Go on."

The professor leaves, after giving the principal a general idea about what was going on before the pair entered the classroom. Whispers float about the room while the young scholars look at the female with confusing eyes.

A red-headed male turns his head towards the door when the pair enter. The girls around him begin to whisper to each other.

"She must have bleached her hair."

"Who would do that? Aren't the chemicals supposed to be bad for the hair?"

The girls on the floor turns toward the group of girls sitting around him. Her blue eyes look at him, puzzeledly. She raises an eyebrow, then a small smile touches her lips, lightening up her face.

"I'd like you to meet a new student."

"Natsunaga Karen." The girl curtsies.

"Minamino Shuichi, would you show her around the school? The two of you may go now, if you choose to be her guide."

Not wanting to miss the opportunity at inquiring about what her small yet knowing smile mean, he stands and inclines his head. He gathers his things and heads towards the aisle. Karen stands by the door, waiting for him. They exit the classroom. The door closes behind them. The sound echos throughout the empty hallway. Karen turns to Shuichi, "You're a youko, aren't you?" She whispers low enough for only him to hear.

"How did you know?" Obviously she wasn't lying, might as well find out how she knew.

"Hmm…I may be a witch but I can sense guises. Don't worry. I'm not going to tell. I have my own hide to worry about…So what's your real name?"

"Kurama. Let me show you around."

Not really wanting to hurry back to class, the two take their time.

~

The pair stand on a balcolny, where some picnic tables sit, lonesomely. They stand at the railing, Karen looking out over the scene below them, Kurama is leaning backwards and has his elbows propped on the railing. Their bags are on the ground beside their feet.

"You seem pretty popular with the female population, Shuichi."

"Heh. So do you with males."

"Don't I know." Karen sighs exasperatedly.

The pair laugh. Once their laughter dies down, Karen turns to Kurama, "Heh heh. I haven't laughed like that for a long time."

"Why is that?"

A look crosses Karen's face, a look of sadness.

"I really would like to tell you everything but…it's too dangerous right now."

"I'll protect you, Karen. I promise."

"I don't want to hold you to that burden, Shuichi."

Well, look at that. Another chapter done. Remember to send in your reviews or I might not post another chap. Well, JA NE!
