*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Silent Sage: Hi everyone! Sorry for the long wait. I'm so glad I finally have enough time to update! Yay!!! *throws confetti everywhere* I'm so happy! Now on with the story!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except for Aya and Kei. Some of the characters in this story belong to my reviewers.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oh no……" Misaki stared at Oujiro in shock. //He's my teacher!!!!!!!!! I think I'm gonna faint…..//

"Class, this is Suzuhara, Misa. She is going to be your new classmate." Oujiro looked at Misaki with a smile on his face that would make most girls swoon. "Welcome to our school Ms. Misa. I hope you enjoy it here."

"Yeah," Misaki replied weakly. She was just about ready to faint when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Misa!!!" Tamayo screeched, her voice could be heard several classrooms over. The students in several classes over ignored it. Everyone in the school knew how loud Tamayo could be, and this happened often. "It's great to see you!!! I can't believe you're here!"

Kotaro waved weakly at Misa as Tamayo created more attention for herself and Misa.

Misaki smiled at her old friends. She suddenly felt a stab of pain clench her heart as she looked at them with concealed eyes. But she merely brushed it off, and waved faintly at the hectic blonde and blushing boy next to her. She suddenly smiled brightly, "Great to see you too Tamayo." She winked at Kotaro who had been staring at her for some time. "Didn't I tell you, I'd be here?"

Kotaro turned beet red and looked down at his desk. While Tamayo just beamed brightly before putting him in another one of her famous head-locks.

"Checking out other girls, eh Kotaro?" She tightened her grip on the suffocating boy.

Even with the lack of oxygen, Kotaro managed to blush a bright red. "N-no!!" Turning another shade of scarlet. "I wouldn't do that!"

She suddenly loosened her grip slightly and smiled softly. "I know you wouldn't."

Acting if nothing had happened, Tamayo got off from Kotaro and sat down; waiting for what Oujiro had to say next. Kotaro, if possible, blushed even harder. But smiled as he watched Tamayo sit down.

Misaki stood there for a moment. A small smile formed on her lips. Even now, Tamayo still deeply cared about Kotaro. The pain that she had forced back deep in her mind came reared its head back, now even stronger.

"Is something the matter Miss. Misa?" Oujiro looked at her through his glasses. (1)

She was still slightly pale from the pain that had succumbed in her heart.

She was silent for a moment before giving Oujiro a smile. "Yes! Just a bit surprised."

He looked at her for a moment. But to them, it felt like an eternity. It felt like he saw right through her disguise. It made her feel uneasy, but she couldn't look away. His azure eyes trying to penetrate the defenses she had tried so hard to build around herself.

A thought then smacked her right in the face. He knew who she was. He knew that "Misa" was actually "Misaki". No matter how hard she had tried to lie to him, trying not to make him worry over her, he still saw right through her.

Just like all those years ago. Back before the fire started. Back then, she had tried not making him worry over her so much, even though he didn't show it. Oujiro was always worrying about her happiness. Misaki had sometimes lied to him, about being ill or in trouble. But he always saw right through her.

Her enemies could never see through the disguise she wore; only few people could see who she really was. People whose awareness were keener then most humans could see through her disguise. People like Aya, Kei…………..and Oujiro.

//Please stop// she pleaded silently //Don't look any further!!// Misaki's eyes were growing slightly misty. She backed up a step, trying to get away from him. She was about to turn and leave when Oujiro suddenly spoke up.

"Ms. Misa, now that we've gotten your introductions done, please sit down next to Ms. Tamayo."

Tamayo waved her hand frantically. Trying to get Misa's attention once again. "Misa!! Misa!! Over here!"

Oujiro chuckled softly. "Or the blonde who's waving over there." He pointed a slender finger, to the almost frantic Tamayo.

"Hai" Misa slowly walked over to Tamayo and with a smile on her face, bowed. "Arigato for giving me such a warm welcome." Before she sat down, ready for the lesson to begin.

Oujiro smiled. Misaki, no matter how hard she tried, could never fool him. He knew her too well for that. //Misaki, stop running away from me. // The same pain that had been in his heart the day she died, reappeared. //I need you with me…….. //

*~After Class~* (AN: Just too lazy to do all the lessony things right now.)

Misaki was sitting under a cherry blossom tree far away from the other people who were eating outside. Tamayo and Kotaro had invited her to join them for lunch, but Misaki had politely refused. Not wanting to intrude on the two lovebirds.

Misaki was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice a shadow near her until he spoke up.

"Ohayo Ms. Misa, or should I say, Misaki?"

"Naaa!!" Misaki cried as she quickly turned to see Oujiro looking down at her.

He had a calm mask on, but his azure eyes gave him away. For they were filled with happiness, but also at the same time, hurt.

"Oujiro ………" Misaki backed up, tears starting to swell up in her sapphire eyes. She was about to turn and run away, when a warm hand grabbed her.

"Oujir-" Misaki was cut off, when his arms enclosed around her slender waist. She was now face to face with his chest. Her nose filled with Oujiro's intoxicating scent of cinnamon and ginger. She suddenly grew warm as she felt a blush stain her cheeks.

"Don't leave, not again." He tightened his grip around her waist slightly. "Please, don't leave ME again, Misaki."

Misaki somehow managed to pull away from Oujiro's firm grip. The tears that she had tried so hard to force down were falling down. Diamond like tears fell from her eyes in an unrelenting torrent.  "I don't want to; I really don't want to stay away from you." Turning her head away, "I just can't involve you in what I'm doing now."

Before Oujiro could catch her, Misaki ran. Ran away from the person dearest to her. //I'm sorry Oujiro, I'm so sorry. //

//No, you're not leaving again without in explanation // Oujiro thought as he chased after her, but when she turned a corner, she completely disappeared from his view.

Instead what faced him was a group of fan girls. More like the official "We love Oujiro" fan club.

//Oh no. // Oujiro thought as he tried to turn away unnoticed. But unluckily for him, one of the fan girls noticed him.

"Oujiro!!!!" The girl who had seen him cried. She was one of the most flirtatious, snobbiest girls on the whole school. She was the president of the club. Her name was Kishitara Kasumi. She was one of the most popular girls of the whole school with her long light pink hair that always seemed to sway gracefully with her every movement even when she tripped of fell down. Her ivory colored skin with no blemish on it whatsoever, much to the envy of the whole female population. Soft full pink lips that always had lipstick on it. Kasumi always wore a load of makeup, making her look like a porcelain doll. Too bad her looks were the only things going for her. For her reputation of beauty also matched her reputation for being mean, clumsy, and extremely loud.

That caused a chain reaction from the other members.

"Oujiro?!!"

"Is that really him?!!!"

"Oh my god! He's here!!"

Screams and shrieks were heard all over the school as the horde of girls screamed when they saw him.

"Please," Kasumi's sickeningly sweet voice said, as she latched her arm around Oujiro's, "join us for lunch. We have more then enough."

As if on cue, the horde of girls brought out their bento boxes. All were trying to get Oujiro to eat theirs.

Before Oujiro could decline her offer, she roughly pulled him toward the group. //Misaki….// Oujiro thought as he headed toward the lionesses den.

*~Somewhere in the Shadows~*

"So, this is where Misaki and the other two are living now." A women with long violet hair said as she sat on her perch above the others. Her burgundy eyes glinted with a cruel glow. She wore an attractive short kimono with white pants. The kimono was dark blue and violet flower designs; it clung closely to her slender body. A bow and a set of arrows sat near her. Positioned in a way, just in case an enemy snuck up on them. A small smile was on her face. But that doesn't mean she couldn't fight. For she was one of the top assassinators in the world and the Dragon Clan.

"You should pay closer attention to the leader Kizaki." A woman with long brown hair standing at the darkest part of the shadows said softly. She wore an elegant dark purple shirt with the clan symbol of a black dragon on it. A tight black skirt that was an inch above knee level. And black calf high boots. Perfect for kicking an enemy in the stomach. A katana was positioned on her waist. Her violet eyes were usually calm, but once she was in a fight, they were eyes of an assassin.

"I can't help it if I'm not a "perfect" warrior like you, Yoko. Unlike you, I prefer to live a little and not be so involved in work.

No reply was heard, but Kizaki swore she saw a sadistic glint coming Yoko's dark violet eyes.

"Now, now, no need to argue," said another voice. It was a soft voice, but had a slightly commanding voice to it. Another woman was standing near the quarreling two. She had long dark hair (AN: I'm not sure what color, sorry!) with a tint of purple at the end. It was tied into a high ponytail with a single violet ribbon. She wore a pair of black jeans with a blood red tank top. Covered with an opened button black shirt. A devilish twinkle in her purplish red eyes. A bokken was lying on her shoulder. It took great skill to use a bokken in assassinations, and that was what its user had.

"Aww, and ruin the fun, Kaho. This is the only time Yoko actually speaks." A deeper more masculine voice said. He had short silver hair that sparkled when it moved. Blood red eyes, with a playful wink in them. He wore dark black leather clothing that hung to his masculine frame. He had a katana on him, not sure where though (AN: try and guess. ^^;;;). By the look of his katana, he was a skilled warrior. A valuable ally to the Black Dragons.

"I'd be quiet if I were you Shiroi." Yoko growled lowly. Her eyes now set on him. He just smirked slightly, before turning toward Kaho.

"Is it true Arima is also working at this school? I've heard from the lower Black Dragon members that he encountered Misaki on her way to school."

"Yes, he's going to keep an eye on Misaki and her friends. He's working as a teacher for the time being. It seems she's protecting them from us." Kaho replied. She tilted her head to the side. "But for some reason, Aya and Kei were not with her, so it probably means their still at the shrine. I guess they're not worried about us."

"Then why can't we attack Misaki now?!" Kizaki said. Her burgundy eyes filled with curiosity.

"It'd be unwise. It is true we outnumber Misaki, but she's an excellent fighter. Besides, it's not the right place or time for a fight." Yoko said, acting as if she was talking to a small child.

Kizaki fumed. "I was just asking." She glared at Yoko, who was silently gloating up a storm.

"Stop it you two!" Barked Kaho. The two immediately stopped glaring at each other to look at their commander. "We should be focused at the mission ahead!"

Shiroi just stared at her in surprise, before shrugging. "Geez, they were only having a little bit of fun. Ya big party pooper." He crossed his arms behind his head and looked away. Bad move. Kaho saw her opportunity to attack, and she did. A stone hit him square in the head. He landed with a thud on the ground.

"Is he alright?" Kizaki asked before she kneeled to check on the unconscious Shiroi.

"Like I care!" Kaho shouted before walking toward the opposite direction.

"Where are you going?" Yoko's asked quietly. Even though her eyes were closed, Kaho could tell Yoko was still watching her.

"I'm gonna do some surveillance. Make sure those two don't get themselves into trouble." Kaho called back before disappearing off somewhere.

Yoko turned toward Kizaki and Shiroi. //I'd have better luck taking care of a stampede of wild elephants then with those two nimrods. // Yoko thought as she sat back down, making sure Kizaki didn't make the wound Shiroi received from Kaho any worse. //This is gonna be a LONG day. //
