"My love why are you so quiet?" I asked as he caressed my arms with his hands. He was always quiet but his spirit would talk to me, now he's just so silent in every way possible. I could see it in his eyes. He was frightened.

"I have to leave." He said pulling me close. I knew he was always in trouble with the authorities everywhere we went. He would hide me in buildings, hotel rooms; he once left me with a few demons. He told them he would kill them if they even thought of touching me. I just let the moment carry on. His bare chest was rising and falling. His skin was worm and yet cold at the same time. He's the only person who I have ever seen dead and alive in one moment. "I'm sorry." He said, then kissed my check gently. He then struck me so hard I fell to the ground. I just sat there looking up at him. I didn't understand. He picked up his shirt and sword and walked away leaving my there. I didn't get up to follow him, I didn't call his name, and I just sat there, wondering why he would do this. He's never even yelled at me.

"You know what Cooan, shut up ok just shut up." Bertie Okayasu said as her best friends Cooan Tojikamori and Calaveras Adachi teased her about her talking in her sleep on Friday night. They had a sleep over at Cooan's apartment. Bertie was talking about her boyfriend Motoki.

"Oh Bertie it was so cute. 'You were all 'Motoki, I love you.'" Calaveras said making her voice sound funny. She and Cooan laughed.

"We're going to late to school if we don't hurry." Bertie said sourly as she walked ahead of the other two. The school's bell started to chime. Bertie turned to look at the others and they all started to run.

"Oh man, if I'm late I'll kill you both in detention." Calaveras said as one of Cooan's school shoes fell off.

Cooan stumbled and ran back to get it as the others stopped. "Cooan, come on!" Bertie shouted.

"I'm sorry, I just don't do high heels." Cooan said just picking it up and taking her other one off so she could run faster.

"Cooan." Bertie and Calaveras said running back and grabbing Cooan's hands and dragging her behind them.

They ran as fast as they possibly could with Cooan whining every once because she stepped on a rock or something. "Damn, we're two late." Bertie said hitting the metal gate that surrounded the school. The staff locked the gate after the bell for some stupid reason that the students couldn't understand.

"Bertie, look at it this way we get a whole day off, and we did really try to get to school on time." Cooan said as she sat on the sidewalk putting her shoes back on. She made sure that they were good and snug before she stood up smiling.

"Yeah, that's great but we're stuck in our uniforms." Calaveras said. Their school uniform was a knee length blue skirt and a white shirt with a big red bow in the front.

"Have you forgotten who I am?" Bertie said as though they had. She had her hands on her hips and was tapping her foot.

"Ok Miss Pick Pocket what do you propose?" Calaveras asked mimicking Bertie.

"I know for a fact that you have a balcony and Cooan lives in the basement with one window at ground level." Bertie said pointing to each of her friends when she was talking about them.

"You're not thinking what I think you're thinking are you Bertie." Cooan said smiling evilly. They both looked at Calaveras pleadingly.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Calaveras said knowing what they were thinking. "Absolutely not." She said firmly but they looked at her as though she had agreed. "Hey, this isn't fair, I don't have a choice."

"Ok, we'll go to Cooan's place first then yours and then mine." Bertie said as they all walked with their arms linked, Calaveras in the middle.

"Hello, my dad will be home." Calaveras said waving one of her arms around like a limp fish or something.

"So we'll just be really quiet." Cooan said smiling still.

"I'm so screwed." Calaveras said being dragged along as her two friends chattered and sang stupid little things.

Outside Cooan's house Bertie was on her stomach playing with the lock on Cooan's window. Click. Bertie giggled as she pushed open the window and pushed herself through the small window. She landed on Cooan's bed and rolled onto the floor. "Ok." She said to her friends outside. She knew that Cooan's stepparents weren't home, so she didn't bother to whisper.

Cooan quickly moved through the window as she has done this many times. She and Bertie were bad girls before they came to Saint Christopher's School For Girls. Bertie is still a little evil but she can hold the beast back. Cooan ran to her closet and pulled out some black jeans and a black T-shirt that said "BOUNTY" in bold purple letters. Cooan pulled off her shirt reviling a black bra. Calaveras just plopped down on the bed making a funny noise "Wow, strip tease." She said covering her eyes.

"Oh man." Cooan said pulling the shirt on quickly messing up her hair. "Embarrass me why don't you." She said walking behind a changing screen that she never used. When she came back out Bertie and Calaveras were looking at pictures of themselves in pretty frames on Cooan's dresser.

"Oh, I remember this." Calaveras said picking up a frame with little unicorns all around the edges. "This is when we went to the state carnival and asked that old pervert to take the picture."

"Yeah and then he asked for a copy." Bertie said as they all laughed.

"Ok, let's go." Cooan giggled and she tossed her black vans out the window. After Cooan wriggled out then came Calaveras and finally Bertie. Cooan was putting her shoes on while she waited.

"Ok on to Calaveras' house." Bertie said marching in step.

"If we get caught my grounded butt is going to kick yours." Calaveras said following.

.oOo. .oOo. .oOo. .oOo.

Hey, it's Bertie. Calaveras worries way much. But we still have to get to her house then mine with out getting caught by anybody. But Cooan is such a klutz and, BERTIE! Ahhhhhh run away! Don't miss out on Fighter's Girl next chapter The Bad, the Klutz & the human.
