*Shiro and Yugo*
They had both studied for quizzes and fallen asleep in the cafeteria. Shiro woke up and looked around. She was surprised to see other people around her. Then she remembered they were studying in the cafeteria. She quickly sat up forgetting she was sitting on Yugo's lap. He woke up when she hit him with her ponytail. She turned around and smiled at him. He stretched and they got up to go change their clothes. They lazily walked back to their dorm. Shiro was thinking they could move into a separate dorm. She would talk to Kuro and tell her. She met up with her in the room however.
Shiro: Can I talk to you?
Kuro: Sure.
Yugo left the room. Kuro noticed the sad look on her sisters face.
Shiro: I want to move into another dorm.
Kuro: What?
Shiro: I want me and Yugo to live together, by ourselves.
Kuro: You can't. We have work to do.
Shiro: I can still work on it!
Kuro: You want to stay! He has to go!
Shiro: NO! Kuro please no!
Kuro: He's goes! Shiro, you can't stay here. They agency would kill you if they found out you went against orders!
Shiro: (crying) I don't care! I love him!
Kuro: Wha...
Shiro: Ok, I said it!
Kuro: Shiro, you can't.
Shiro: Who says! You? You're not the boss! Dad is!
Kuro: SHIRO!
Shiro: Oh gosh...
Kuro: You have a point. I'm not your boss. (throws down a picture) I'm just your only living relative. Fine, if you want to leave, leave. Hey, don't let me stop you princess.
Shiro: Kuro! I didn't mean it!
Kuro opened the door and walked out. Shiro cried out loud and screamed. She couldn't leave, couldn't love, and now her sister hated her. She was miserable. She ran out of the room. Yugo ran after her. Shiro ran all the way to the school doors and ran out. She kept running. Yugo went and hopped on his bike. He went after her. She was a fast runner but his bike was faster. He saw her running towards the forest. She went in where he couldn't take his bike. He hopped off as his bike slid on the pavement. He ran after her through the trees and brush. He could only spot her hair. She tripped over a branch and landed hard on the ground. She was crying. Yugo came up behind her. He started talking to her. She turned over and pulled out her gun. She was afraid it was an enemy. Yugo threw his hands up and stopped dead in his tracks.
Yugo: Shiro!
Shiro: Yugo, oh gosh, what do you want?
Yugo: What's the matter?
Shiro: Just leave me alone or I'll shoot.
Yugo: Really? You would shoot me?
Shiro: '...'
Yugo: Put it down Shiro.
She was shaking from fear and crying still. She clicked the hammer back and aimed. Yugo took a step forward. She put her finger on the trigger. She watched him come closer and she started pulling back the trigger slowly. He stopped and she froze. Then he jumped on her and grabbed her hand, pointing it upwards, squeezing her wrist. She fired it into the air. She dropped the gun and screamed. He kissed her to make her be quiet and brought both her hands down to the ground. She tried to kick him off of her but she was to weak from crying. She just lay there crying. Her white hair was dirty from the ground. Yugo stopped kissing her and looked at her horrified face. She was still pale even though she was crying. Yugo lay down on her, still holding her hands down. He put his head beside hers and she turned to look at him. He was just looking at her. Shiro saw her gun. It wasn't very far away. She could touch it. If he would let go she could get it. She didn't want to shoot him though. She just let him overpower her until she heard footsteps.
Mysterious person: Get off her...
Yugo: Make me.
Yugo felt a gun being pointed at his head and Shiro screamed. It was Kuro. Yugo let go of her hands and slowly slid off onto the ground. Shiro cried and Kuro kept the gun pointed at him. She reached down and picked her sister up by her arm. Kuro told him to get up. Yugo slowly stood up. He saw the gun and quickly grabbed it, rolling away when Kuro shot at him. Shiro screamed and knocked the gun from her sisters hand. Kuro looked at the gun being pointed at her. Yugo saw no fear in her eyes. It scared him but he got up and walked towards her. He motioned for Shiro to come to him. She wouldn't leave her sister. She was the only one she had ever known that had loved her. Yugo saw the hurt in her eyes.
Yugo: Shiro, please come here.
Shiro: I can't...I'm sorry.
Kuro: Why don't you shoot me?
Yugo: Shiro, I won't hurt you. I will never hurt you. You know that.
Shiro: Kuro is my sister, my only sister. I can't leave her.
Yugo: You don't have too. Just come with me for a walk.
Shiro: I...I can't.
Kuro: Yugo, come and take her. I see how much you love her enough to point a gun at her sister to protect her.
Yugo: I won't make her come.
Kuro: Go on Shiro, go with him. I can't make decisions for you anymore. You were right. I guess I was afraid.
Kuro turned and left the forest. Shiro saw a tear go down her face as she left. Shiro ran to Yugo, still following Kuro with the gun. He hugged her with one arm and she cried on him. She clung to his shirt and Yugo watched Kuro go. He lowered the gun and fell to his knees with Shiro as she cried her heart out. She was all alone now, she thought. Yugo just let her cry and when she was down to a little sob, they walked out to the road. Yugos' bike was there, Kuro on it. She saw Yugo and started it up. Yugo hugged Shiro close to him. Kuro turned in a circle around him and watched how Shiro clung to him. She stopped the bike. She didn't want to lose her sister. Kuro got off and walked back to the school. She could have at Yugo at the dance without Shiro knowing. She smiled at the thought of her sister crawling back to her for protection. Shiro and Yugo watched her go through the doors. Yugo put Shiro on the bike and drove it back to the parking lot. They got off and he took Shiro to get her things and he went to see Cid about getting a room. Cid got him one on the other side where the boys stayed. He said Shiro was only allowed to stay because she had nowhere else to go. He walked back and Shiro met him with the stuff. They spent the rest of the day setting up the room.
*Rin and Illasu*
Illasu heard Shiro leave through the door. She had been awake ever since Rin kept moving. He was either excited about Friday or having a bad dream. It was her first day of classes today. Rin was going with her to Biology and Genetics as her first classes then it was off to art, Zoology and Squall in the T.C. She got Rin up and they dressed for the day. Rin was quite the romantic. She found a daisy in the pocket of her pants in the closet. Rin was also in the closet and was holding in some laughter when she gasped. She jumped on his back and hugged him.
Illasu: You are so sweet!
Rin: Really? You think so?
Illasu: I know so!
Rin: Here, let me put it in your hair. There, oh wow.
Illasu: What?
Rin: I don't think you can go to your other classes...
Illasu: Why not?
Rin: I'll have to beat the other guys off with a bat.
Illasu: Rin! You rascal!
He laughed and she tackled him, tickling him at the same time. He was rolling on the floor when Selphie poked her head in. She smiled at them and Illasu got up. Rin stayed on the floor, playing dead.
Illasu: What's up Selphie?
Selphie: The twins! Shiro moved over by Irvine! I'm worried about him.
Illasu: It's ok, he can take care of himself.
Selphie: Help me keep a look out ok?
Illasu: Sure thing, all right. See you in Art!
Selphie: Bye!
She shut the door and Rin burst out laughing. Illasu walked over and he lifted her up. He was strong. He set her down on him and she put her hands on his face. He played dead again and she kissed him. After about five minutes, Rin popped back into life and started laughing.
Rin: It's a miracle! You have a kiss of life!
Illasu: Oh really, well I better have the kiss of on-time because we'll be late if we don't leave now.
Rin: Right. Let's go!
Rin picked up his books and Illasu grabbed her pencil and notebook. They walked to class, holding hands and getting looks from every student. Illasu clung to him. She was nervous. Rin had to let go of her hand to walk through the door. She was really scared but when he reached out to her, she came through and stayed behind him. Rin walked to the back of the room with Illasu in tow. She kept looking nervously around. The boys were staring at her and the girls were glaring at her. She buried her face in Rin's shirt and tried to hide. He felt her and put an arm around her. She was comforted very little by this. When she felt Rin stop, she came out to see four boys in front of her. Rin was smiling down at her.
Rin: It's okay. These are my friends. Guys, this is Illasu.
Jakeen: Hi ya!
Shushira: Nice to meet you, Illasu!
Crose: Hey...
Rin: That's Jakeen, Crose, and Shushira in the middle. She's a little nervous guys.
Illasu looked up at them and waved a little. Rin smiled at her and pulled her in front of him. Her being so small, she was hidden from everyone. Rin talked to his friends as she looked around at all the other students. They weren't staring now. She saw a nice looking girl and a few she probably wanted to stay away from. Pretty soon the teacher came in and everyone sat down. Rin and Illasu sat in the back. The three guys sat on the other side of Illasu. She was relieved to be in the middle of a lot of guys. She actually smiled until the teacher called role. She was asked to stand up and say something about herself.
Illasu: Hi, I...uh...I'm Illasu Marain. Um, to be honest, I'm really nervous and I really have nothing of interest to say.
Ms. Girisha: There must be something you like to do. Please tell us.
Illasu: Well, (looks to Rin who is smiling) I love to draw.
Ms. Girisha: There, you see? Thank you Ms. Marain. You may be seated. As all of you know, I have been teaching most of the Science classes. The headmaster is trying to find another teacher at the moment. Now, let's turn to page 437.
Illasu looked around for a book and remembered she hadn't gotten one yet. She was panicking when Rin scooted closer and shoved his book in front of her. He was laughing and quickly gave her a kiss on her cheek.
Rin: We'll share for today. After class, remind me and we'll get you a book silly Illy.
Illasu: That rhymes!
Ms. Girisha began reading and then picked people to read. She picked Illasu to read first. She was scared but Rin helped her. He smiled and took his hand off the book and pinched her butt. She stood up and began reading. She was very nervous, she hated to stand and read. The teacher noticed this and so she was allowed to sit. They read the chapter and then Ms. Girisha assigned homework that they could work on till class got over with. Illasu was working and started looking around again. She started drawing on her paper corner. She was finishing her third sketch when the teacher came around and saw her. She picked up the paper and asked Illasu to see her after class. Illasu was ashamed. She felt horrible. She couldn't concentrate. She started working again until the bell rang. Rin walked her up to the desk and then went to wait for her outside. He grabbed a book for her on his way out and watched through the glass.
Ms. Girisha: Illasu, why weren't you working on your work?
Illasu: I am sorry ma'am. It's just, I couldn't concentrate.
Ms. Girisha: Is something the matter?
Illasu: There is but it's a private matter.
Ms. Girisha: Well, I was just warning you. I want to see you work in class. I don't care if you doodle to take your mind off of things...
Illasu: Draw ma'am, I never doodle.
Ms. Girisha: Sorry Ms. Marain. Just please work on your work. I don't ask a lot.
Illasu: Thank you Ms. Girisha. I'll try to focus more.
Ms. Girisha: Go on now. Rin is watching from the door. By the way, those drawings were very good Ms. Marain. I should like to see more of your work from your art class.
Illasu: (smiles slightly) Thank you ma'am.
Illasu walked out the door and into Rin's arms. He hugged her and she cried for a little bit. She hadn't even been in class one day and she was already in trouble. He picked up her notebook along with his and walked her to her next class, Zoology. He didn't have this class so he got down on his knees and brushed away her tears. She hugged him and he gave her her notebook. He watched her walk in and get a book. She sat in the back all alone. The class was mostly girls except for a few boys. Rin looked at her with a sad feeling inside him. He walked to his class and sat next to Crose. He was worried about her.
*Rin in his class*
Crose: She seems nice. What's up with you?
Rin: I'm just worried that's all. (leans back) I wish I could be there for her.
Crose: You can't always be there. She'll do fine from what you tell me. She sounds like a fighter.
Rin: Yeah, I guess she is.
Crose: Her pictures were really good though, very awesome.
The teacher walked in and began teaching. Rin opened his book and tried to clear his mind.
*Illasu in her class*
She had sat in the back and all the girls had stared at her again. She wasn't holding her head down anymore but she was being quiet. She saw a girl, the one she kind of liked, coming towards her with a friendly smile. Illasu sort of smiled when she sat next to her.
Trent: Hi, I'm Trent. You know you can sit up front with me and my friends if you want.
Illasu: I'm Illasu and thanks but I'd rather sit back here.
Trent: You're in my Bio class right?
Illasu: Yeah...
Trent: Got a glimpse of your drawings. They were pretty cool. So, you must like horses.
Illasu: I love them. I own three.
Trent: ARE YOU SERIOUS! Oh, can I ride them sometime?
Illasu: Sure, I guess.
Trent: This is so cool! You have no idea how long I've wanted to ride one.
Illasu: So you like horses too?
Trent: Yeah, I've always wanted one.
Illasu: Huh, well I guess then I can lend you one until you find one.
Trent: You mind if I sit back here with you? The teacher let's us talk to the person next to us 10 minutes before the bell rings.
Illasu: Sure, it's ok. Hey Trent, thanks.
Trent: Your welcome!
Illasu smiled as the teacher walked in. She was asked to tell something different about herself so she shared her love of horses. Trent clapped as did the rest of the class which made her blush. Trent was like the class leader. Illasu was grateful to have her there for her first day. When class was done they talked about horses some more. The bell rang and Trent walked out with her.
Trent: Hey, you wanna be friends?
Illasu: What?
Trent: Yeah, do you?
Illasu: Uh, sure.
Trent: Cool, so how fast do you ride?
Illasu: I ride at a gallop. It's my favorite.
Rin was walking up to Illasu and she was smiling so he knew she was alright. He spotted Trent walking with her and came up to the both of them laughing.
Trent: Rin! Why are you laughing?
Illasu: You know him?
Trent: Yeah, he's in Bio with us. Oh right, you guys are going out together right?
Rin: Yeah Trent, that's right. I predicted you would walk up to Illasu.
Illasu: Well you were right.
Rin: She's a piece of work isn't she? (Trent punches him in the arm) Hey, hey all right!
Illasu laughed and Trent waved goodbye to go to her next class. Rin and Illasu walked to Genetics as Jakeen and Shushira came up to them. All four walked to class together. Illasu was in a good mood now that she was back with Rin and had a new friend. She grabbed a book and Rin led her to the back. The teacher walked in and class began. She saw Selphie up front and Selphie waved at her. Illasu waved a little 'hi ya' back and continued reading to herself. Rin was smiling and tickled her in her side a little. She looked at him and he smiled hugely. It made her laugh. She put her hands to her mouth and tried to hold back laughter. The whole class shushed her and it made her laugh more. Then Rin started laughing. They tried to shake it off but they couldn't do it. Shushira looked at them and Illasu controlled herself to little spurts of laughter. Rin was still going hard. Jakeen nudged him in the side and he went quiet but he still smiled. Illasu leaned on his shoulder and Rin put an arm around her. Class sped by and before she knew it she was in front of the art room door. Rin kissed her and headed off to 'gym'. It was more like a running session. They just ran and even though he complained about it, Rin really liked it. Illasu walked into class and sat by Selphie. The teacher came in and Illasu saw her weird clothes. Selphie laughed and Illasu did too. The teacher called role and Illasu shared her love for books. She noticed Crose was in this class.
Ms. Furiko: Illasu, I had glimpse of the drawings you did for your Biology class. They were wonderful. But I am afraid we don't just draw horses in here. Please come up to the board and draw something else for us. Don't worry, I did this to all the students. Okay, take the material you're used to and take a canvas or sheet of paper. Ok, now if you would sit down and draw a person for us.
Illasu: Does it have to be real?
Ms. Furiko: Yes, try to make it as real as you can. You can chose anyone.
Illasu thought about it and decided to draw Rin. She had drawn him a lot. She sketched his sleeping face and when she was done, the teacher had her hold it up. Ms. Furiko's eyes widened. Illasu blushed when she received praise from all the students. They all were allowed to watch her draw the next thing. Ms. Furiko came over as well.
Ms. Furiko: Draw the animal that is graceful and yet scary at the same moment.
Illasu: There's not only one animal that is that. All are.
Ms. Furiko: Oh? Well then draw how you think it could best be described.
Illasu had to think about this. She started to draw. The teacher watched her every move. Illasu just let her mind think it up as she went. The teacher knew she hadn't planned it out. She smiled at her creativity. Illasu was finished and showed it to the students. There were light sketches of all the animals she could do in a five minute time limit. Then Ms. Furiko noticed there was one animal that was darker than the rest. Illasu's dragon was definitely graceful in the way it had it's wings spread and it's eyes were almost real but it had a feeling of evil about it. She was amazed at her talent. The students were asked to return to their seats. Illasu got up to go to her seat but Ms. Furiko stopped her. She gave the students something to work on and took her to her desk. Illasu's mind raced with what she could have done wrong.
Ms. Furiko: How did you learn to draw that well?
Illasu: I inherited my talent from dad, I think. I just started drawing horses from a 'How to Draw' book and continued until I didn't have to use shapes anymore, just draw the whole horse. Then I worked on all kinds of other animals. Then I just started drawing people. I'm not very good at it yet, but I draw Rin a lot.
Ms. Furiko: Interesting, I see you need to take a class just to express yourself. Tell you what, if you can draw like that and work to improve on your drawings of people, I will get Rin to come in sometime and you can draw him with anything you want in here. I hear you don't have many supplies.
Illasu: Who told you?
Ms. Furiko: A little silver haired bird, now would you like that?
Illasu: Oh, yes, that would be great.
Ms. Furiko: There is one other thing. The school is having a contest. All ages compete against each other. It's set up as a grid where same age compete then the winners compete against older and younger students. I would like you to enter a painting of anything you want.
Illasu: I'm not sure I can paint. I don't ever paint at all, so I'm not good. It seems to ruin my drawings.
Ms. Furiko: I'll help you with learning how to paint. So, it's settled. Illasu, I've never seen talent like your at this age. It's a gift so keep on going.
Illasu: Thank you.
The bell rang and Illasu grabbed her notebook. She headed out to meet Rin. She gave him a giant hug and he asked what it was for.
Illasu: I get to draw whatever I want. Ms. Furiko says you can come in sometime and I can draw you! With textured pencils! Rin, I'm so excited!
Rin: I knew you would be! I couldn't wait for you to find out.
Illasu: Thank you so much.
Rin: One thing though, about these drawings of me, they're not posted in the school are they?
Illasu: Why?
Rin: Because I want to see them too! If everyone sees them then I'll never get to see before they all rush up to the display case. And I want to see a picture of what I look like when I sleep. I bet I look pretty funny when I sleep, huh?
Illasu: No, you're really beautiful. You are, seriously. Oh darn! I'm gonna be late for Squall! Gotta run! Love you! Meet you in the cafeteria after class!
Rin: Ok, love you too silly!
Illasu turned into the T.C. and Squall was there. Rin continued onto his next class. He was in a real good mood now. His friends congratulated him on his success as a model. He brushed them off and they had a good laugh. Rin was proud. He had a great girlfriend. She was amazing with a pencil and paper. He walked into class greeted by his fan club. A hoard of girls rushed over and began batting their eyelashes. His friends tried to help him but the girls literally tackled them. Rin sat in the back where the girls dared not go. He was relieved when he was away from them. They were like vultures, just waiting for him at the door. He dreaded this class. The teach walked in and assigned work. Rin opened his book and started working as Crose passed him a note.
The note: Talk to me after class. I have to tell ya something important. Meet by restrooms.
