Rose
Time seemed to stop just for her.
She could feel the surge of warmth flow through her body and run in her pumping blood. It was strange sensation, a pain that felt enjoyable yet so excruciating. She could almost feel the rays burning her skin upon her pale, pink cheeks, its golden light producing tenderness to her closed candy eyes.
A supernatural wind caused her silky, baby blue hair to fly out in all different directions and ruffled the hem of her long, ivory white gown. Her rosy red lips shone with a bright gloss, her bare feet dangling from mid air. Her ears rang, pounding and thousands of voices filled her head, all discussing her situation.
'Why wouldn't they stop?' she thought.
She desperately searched for silence but could find none yet her face remained tranquil. But the fact she was so radiant was her star locket, one that her mother, a true goddess, had given to her.
She clutched it tighter than even before, her burning hands seeking comfort in the locket.
It was no ordinary locket but one that had secrets far older and more powerful than the Heavens itself. A shimmering diamond was placed in the center of the inside of the locket, a sweet melody played when opened and its cover was pure gold, lined with silver markings that told of a tale no one could understand. It hung about her bare neck with a single, thin chain of pure silver, a perfect contract to her blue hair and candy innocent eyes.
It seemed an eternity to her mind, even if it was only a mere moment of seconds. As her feet could feel the cool ground, she slowly opened her eyelids, revealing the most attractive lavender eyes that matched her long, cerulean hair that cascaded freely down her back. A smile formed with her two cherry pink lips, confirming her greatest desire.
She was finally human.
It was just another ordinary day, with the sun shining pleasantly down upon Earth, kindling life with its golden rays of nourishment. The sky was without its usual fluffy, cotton clouds, the birds chirping a morning tune.
Kurama quickly shut the front door of his house with a final goodbye to his human mother and starting walking amiably to school. He was always early, being a perfect and popular student at school, and had plenty of time to spare.
His emerald eyes were pools of light, reflecting the sun's waves of light and his long, crimson mane was perfect and soft in every way. He wore a usual scarlet uniform, even though he had transferred to Sariaski (I really don't know how it's spelled!) Junior High, with his school books in his arm. Kurama instantly went into a reverie as he gazed passionately into the sea of blue yonder, the sky, and enjoyed how quiet it was.
The young boy was immediately interrupted by two yells, which he recognized belonged to two of his loyal friends, Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. With a sway of his scarlet hair, Kurama stopped in his tracks and turned around, smiling when he saw three figures running towards him. Soon, the three figures arrived, panting, in front of the chuckling fox demon.
How could he not know?
They were of course, the two teenage spirit detectives and Yusuke's girlfriend, Keiko Yukimura. As usual, Yusuke wore his favorite green uniform, his pitch black hair un-gelled. His best friend, Kuwabara, had the same fiery orange hair and his respectable blue school uniform. Keiko, her chocolate hair cropped short, wore her usual school uniform, a blue and white skirt and blouse yet an unusually proud smile played upon her lips.
"Yo Kurama! Early as usual but that's easy for a kitsune, ne?" Yusuke managed to say in between pants.
"Yes it is," laughed Kurama, smirking. "I see you're still disrespecting the school laws by wearing your favorite uniform."
Yusuke grumbled, murmuring a "look who's talking" as Keiko hit him on the head, yet her smile still remained, which greatly puzzled Kurama. Kuwabara continued to ramble about his honor code and his precious Yukina, and it stayed that way the entire walk to school.
As soon as they were drawing closer to school and Kuwabara had stopped his blabbers, Yusuke leaned over to Kurama, putting his mouth to the fox's ear.
"Hey, could you get Keiko to explain why she's so happy? She's been smiling like there's no end and man, is it getting annoying!" Yusuke whispered. Kurama smiled, nodding slightly, glancing at the young girl who was humming. School was drawing ever closer as the conversation continued.
"Keiko-san," Kurama politely inquired "I was just happening to wonder what the occasion that is making you so delightfully happy was?"
Keiko smile broadened, and tilted her head, winking. "You'll find out soon enough." And with her final comment, the school bell rang and they all ran to the building, so they wouldn't be late.
Boy, were they in for a surprise!
Kurama swiftly took out his books from his locker after getting rid of all his fan letters, all of his love letters. Thank god for the garbage cans!
He absolutely hated it when he was engulfed in a sea of disturbing pink notes. How annoying, he instantly thought. As he found his final books, one of his friends quickly sprinted to his side, looking very happy. Kurama wondered what made everyone so happy today; was there something he missed?
"Hey Suuichi, did you hear the news? Everyone's talking about it! There's a really pretty new girl that just transferred! They say she's popular with everyone and is really smart!! If you're lucky, you'll get to meet here!"
"We'll see, Yuki; I never fall for girls. They only fall for me," Kurama stated, clearly blunt.
Yuki laughed jovially. "Yea..." and with a final "ja," he left for class. Kurama sighed; even if the new girl was perfect, she probably was another club member for his fan group and he hated that.
That was his second mistake.
He somehow managed to be early for class, as usual, and took a seat in the front row. Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were all in his class, too, and they (somehow) were early too even though they arrived at school late.
Keiko's smile apparently became larger last time he saw her (I know it's redundant but it's necessary) and it got on his nerves but being a gentlemen, he composed himself. The rest of the boys appeared to have seen a goddess, with their mesmerized faces and the girls were pleasantly nice to one another, and were not talking about him (amazing!). Kurama was officially suspicious.
The rumor about the girl must have been true. The teacher rapped his ruler on the desk, and the chatter was silenced, all eyes to the front.
"Class, I have a special announcement to make. We have a new transferred student with us today," the teacher announced, grinning.
On cue, he looked at the open door and a young girl appeared from it. She had long cerulean hair that was tied up in a neat ponytail; her lavender candy eyes were radiant orbs of crystal. Like any schoolgirl, she wore the standard uniform but she was still a goddess.
She looked up from her gaze at the ground, smiling radiantly and Kurama found himself holding his breath, realizing the reason why Keiko was so happy, but he wasn't the only one. Yusuke and Kuwabara also gasped and the people who hadn't seen her enter the school were also stunned.
"Konnichi wa, minna-san. Watashi wa Botan Daioh desu and I'm glad to be your new student." Botan said, grinning at her friends.
