Mian looked up.
"You!" she heard yelled in her direction. It was Golden-eyes.
"Well well well now." she said, giving that lazy smile again. "Imagine seeing you here."
Tasuki glared at her. "do you have to be everywhere at once? You're like some kinda virus!"
Mian shrugged. "Well, while I'm no virus I can't see why you'd be so angry to see me. I mean, what have I ever done to you?" she asked, voice weighted with sarcasm.
Tasuki rolled his eyes. "Let's not get started-"
"I'm assuming you two have met?" Hotohori laughed.
"More or less." Mian said dryly. "But anyway, these people are?"
Miaka jumped up. "Well see, this is my boyfriend Tamahome." she hugged the blue haired boy with violet eyes.
"Hey." he said, holding up one hand in greeting.
"My name is Chichiri, ya know. Nice to meet you." said the boy with light blue hair.
"My name is Chiriko. I'm only a freshman but they accept me. A Pleasure." said the small boy.
"I'm Amiboshi and this is my twin brother Suboshi." said the blonde…er…one of them.
The beautiful boy with long violet hair smiled. "And my name is Nuriko. Nice to meet you." he said with a smile.
The girl with the blonde hair stood up. "My name is Hongo Yui. I don't believe he's going to introduce himself to you, so I may as well tell you, fire-fair here's name is Tasuki. And that's his friend-"
"Koji." said the boy with dark blue hair and chocolate eyes.
(( I know that I said nine in the last chapter but there are ten of the,. Lets just exclude Miaka since Mian already knows her….~Nadare))
Miaka grinned. "Well now that you all know them you should introduce yourself."
Mian nodded. "Mian Faxian desu. Er….nice to meet you all."
Hotohori nodded. "Hai. Well listen now, since everyone knows each other what say we all go get something to eat now?"
There was a simultaneous, "HAI!"
Mian sweatdropped and sighed.
"Oi come on! We're all gonna go for pizza so we'd better hurry up so we can eat and get back in time." Nuriko said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Hai hai…" Mian sighed, pushing her hands into her pockets.
* * *
By the time they had all squeezed in to a set of tables, they were all really hungry. Especially Miaka…but then what else is new….
Mian sat in the third seat from the end in the third table down. She watched he gumi she had come here with as they all discussed what kind of pizza they wanted to eat. It didn't matter to her either way…
"Hurry up! I'm hungreeeeeee!" Miaka yelled.
"Please Miaka-baka! You're gonna make a scene!" Nuriko yelled, just as loudly.
Hotohori laughed. "Onegai…try to calm down you two."
"Demo I'm starving!"
Finally a waitress came and took the orders and everyone was finally fed, Miaka eventually having eaten over half of each pie.
Nuriko glanced towards the end of the table. Sakura-locks didn't look too happy. He got up and made his way into the seat next to hers.
"Ne, Daijabou ka?" he said, tossing his violet mane of a braid over his shoulder as he sat.
Mian snapped out of her daydream and looked up at the lavender-haired man. "Gomen ne. It's nothing I was just thinking about some things…"
Suboshi/Amiboshi turned in his chair to face Mian. "Oi, why don't you tell us about yourself, Mian-sama."
"Oi great idea, Amiboshi! We should get to know you better if you're gonna hang out with us." Nuriko said, clapping his hands together.
"Personally I couldn't care less…" came a low growl towards the end of the table. Apparently everyone had stopped to listen to the conversation.
"Tasuki-san…" Chiriko sighed. "Please try to be a bit nicer."
"I couldn't care less how he acts. People's attitudes don't bother me anymore. Demo, I think I should go ahead and leave though…I won't be back to school either so if any of you have classes with me, don't bother to cover." Mian said, standing up and pulling at the chain hanging from her jeans.
Nuriko looked up at the sapphire-eyed girl. "Demo, where will you go? I mean surely you don't live anywhere around here…"
Mian smiled lazily, her trademark smile. "Iie…I don't but the walk'll do me some good ya know."
"Hey that's my line ya know." Chichiri laughed.
Mian nodded and smiled sincerely. "Arigatou…for all this. It was a pretty good first day I have to say, thanks to you guys. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Oh and here's some money for the pizza. I figure I may as well pitch in since I did eat some of it." she tossed a small fold of money on the table, about enough to pay for the two of the three pizzas, and then left the store with a silent wave.
"I hope we didn't offend her in anyway…" Chiriko said sadly.
Miaka shook her head. "I don't think so. When I first met her she had a look about her that was very sad. Demo just now…she seemed a lot happier."
"Yeah well she would have probably stayed had Tasuki not been such a jerk ya know." Chichiri said, jerking a thumb at Tasuki.
"Oi! It's her fault! That broad's caused em nothing but trouble since I first laid eyes on her." he yelled back.
"Please, knowing you she probably looked at you funny and made you mad." Yui said, laughing. Everyone else laughed at this, causing Tasuki to grow red with anger but just sit back with his arms crossed across his broad chest.
* * *
Mian walked all the way back to her house. Six miles wasn't too much, yet she was still a bit tired when she finally walked through the door. It was three forty-five, meaning Kourin would be home soon. / Lovely…/ Mian thought to herself as she pushed the door open and pulled out the small gold key.
She walked upstairs to her room and threw herself onto the bed. She pushed her cherry-blossom bangs out of her eyes and sighing. Her first day at Four Gods High was not that bad….well…the amount of time that she spent there at least…
First period: Gym
Second period: Calculus
Third Period: World History/ B-lunch
…after that she had no idea considering she'd left in the middle of lunch anyway. And then there were the people she'd met today. She had no idea why she'd been so friendly with them, considering she really didn't trust anybody…well excluding Ania and her friends from her old high school, Fushigi Yume High…could she consider them friends though?
Let's see there was Miaka…nice, a little crazy, and eats has a vacuum for a stomach…
Hotohori, who was, without a doubt, drop-dead-gorgeous, extremely nice to her, and the first person she met next to…..
Anyway there was Nuriko. Almost as beautiful at Hotohori, and just as sweet.
She hadn't really spoken to anyone else except for…
There was him…The fire-haired boy called Tasuki…She recognized him immediately when she'd seen him get on the bus. Apparently, he didn't like her very much…demo she didn't care. She didn't care what anyone thought of her anymore…Yet there was something about him…
"MIAN! OI MIAN COME DOWN HERE, ONEGAI!"
Mian didn't even realize she'd fallen asleep until she heard Kourin yelling her name from downstairs.
"KEEP YOU'RE SHIRT ON! I'M COMING!" Mian yelled back.
"Baka onna…" Mian said trudging down the steps. "Nan des ka?"
Kourin looked at her foster daughter and smiled. "You have a visitor."
Mian's eyes widened at the words that left her lips. /A visitor?…she hadn't remembered giving out her address to anyone…/
She rounded the corner and came to the door. "Who is it?" she said, brushing her long bangs out of her eyes. They widened when they came to gaze upon Nuriko's slim figure.
"N-Nuriko?" she said, quizzically.
* * *
Nuriko smiled when the girl came into the room. "Hi." he said smiling. The cherry-blossom haired girl stared at him wide-eyed, though he was expecting that kind of response…
"How did you-"
"Find out where you lived?" Nuriko finished.
"Yeah…"she said, the flustered look still on her face.
Nuriko smiled. "Well, don't worry about that. Lets just say, I know my way around, ne?"
Mian, paused as if debating something, then nodded. "Ano…do you want to come upstairs?" she said uneasily.
"Hai!" Nuriko said, still smiling. He pushed himself off of the door frame and followed the girl upstairs. When he entered her room he was shocked at how neat it was. The walls of the room were painted cerulean, matching her eyes. And the contrasting color was white. The room looked like twilight in a form…
"Sugoi…"he sighed.
"Ano…what is?" Mian said, frowning slightly.
"Your room is so clean. I wish I could say the same for mine….." Nuriko laughed, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.
Mian smiled. "Domo….this is actually pretty good for me." she sat on the bed beside him. "Demo…why did you come anyway, if you don't mind my asking." she said, lying back on the bed and covering her face with a throw pillow.
Nuriko laughed. "Well you see, since you were gone I thought I'd stop by to tell you what you missed since you're in the last four of my classes."
"Domo…how nice…" she said through the pillow. "so how much did I miss?"
"Not much really. Lucky you we had substitutes in half the classes. The other two were film and video and desktop publishing so you were fine. And the other reason I came was to apologize for Tasuki's rudeness. Usually when he makes up his mind that he doesn't like someone…it's usually heck for whoever the person is."
Mian sat up again. "Don't worry. It's really not a problem with me. If he doesn't like me he doesn't like me. It's nothing that could be worse than what I go through now…"
"Naze?" Nuriko said, suddenly serious.
Mian sighed and got up. "You asked for it. I don't know anything about my family or except that they're dead and I was sent to an orphanage when I was very young. Kourin took me in and I never got used to her. I never called her mother, couldn't bring myself to. And then to top it all off the woman has five-"
At that word, five relatively older boys rampaged into the room and immediately grabbed Mian. Nuriko stared shocked.
The boys grabbed her and wrestled her to the floor. She slipped from underneath them and tried to scramble away. One caught her by the foot and held her while the other boys tickled her.
"Yame-!" she said in between giggle fits. "Yamero! Get out! Now damn it!" she said, throwing them off of her. The boys retreated from the room laughing.
"She has five older sons?" Nuriko gaped.
Mian frown and picked up a brush, fixing her tousled hair. "Iie…five adopted sons…I'm the youngest and the only girl so…."
Nuriko nodded. "Demo, what would you say about coming to a party?"
Mian turned and looked at the rosy-eyed man. "Party?"
Nuriko nodded. "Hai! Hotohori'll be turning eighteen in a few days and we're gonna throw him a surprise party. I'm sure he'd like you to come. It's on Friday."
Mian looked thoughtful.
Nuriko stood up and walked over to her in SD-mode. "Onegai?"
Mian sighed and laughed. "Hai hai! I'll come."
Nuriko glomped the seventeen year old. "Arigatou gozaimasu!"
Mian smiled, really smiled. "Daijobu…honto…"
