Chapter 3: Classes and Lunch

Riena had soon received a schedule and a map of the school and was now slowly but steadily making her way through the large building. She stopped in front of one particular door. "Room 283: Science," she read off her schedule. She looked up at the door. "283. Guess this is the place." She stepped forward and pushed open the door.

The noise suddenly died down as everyone turned to stare at the new comer. Riena's sensitive ears picked up a few conversations in hushed voices in various parts of the class.

Kurama, noticing the change the in volume, looked up from his book. He smiled and waved at the nervous figure. Riena managed a weak smile and returned the gesture.

A short women with very curly brown hair stepped into the room. She looked down, or rather up, at Riena and gave her a warm smile. "You must be the new student, correct?" Riena nodded hesitantly. Kindness wasn't exactly what Riena was used to and the class's reaction wasn't helping much, even if she was more used to it. She used to get it all the time whenever she walked into a room and it was apparent that it had not changed.

She slowly made her way toward the desk between Suichi and the window, careful not to meet anyone's gaze. She had said she was used to the class's reaction, not that she liked it.

"Class, we have a new student today, as I'm sure you all have already noticed," a few people nodded, not one taking their eyes off of Riena, studying the new girl. A few of them were trying to figure out where she was from, others, females mostly, glaring at her, remembering how Suichi had escorted her to the office, some males with looks of lust.

Riena shrank under the stares of her classmates. 'Why are they staring at me?' she asked herself as the teacher continued to speak to the class. "Her name is R-" the teacher suddenly stopped, staring down at a piece of paper clutched in her hand. "Raina Wievern."

"It's Riena Wyvern, mam." Riena corrected. Kurama's head almost hit the desk. Wyvern! That was a type of dragon and was supposed to be the last name of the Dragon Lord line. Could this be coincidence too?

Riena noticed Kurama's surprise. 'He's a demon. I can smell it. Fox demon. Not to mention he REALLY needs to work on hiding his demonic energy. Guess he figured he wouldn't need it here,' Riena thought. She silently thanked herself for the many hours she had spent studying demons and practicing ways to detect them.

The lesson was rather uneventful. Riena stared out of the window most of the time.

They also had a test that day. The teacher insisted that she take it so that they could find out how much she already knew. Riena finished the test first and aced it.

'This is so boring,' Riena thought as she stared out of the window, waiting for the bell to ring. She felt a slight prickle on the back of her neck and turned. 'Why is Suichi staring at me?' Riena asked herself as he turned away, also having finished his test. 'And why is he blushing?'

Right on cue, the bell rang. Riena returned to her thoughts a she slung he bag back onto her shoulder. 'I've learned all of this already. Maybe that heartless bastard of a father was actually good for something. Maybe my next lesson will be more interesting.'

But it wasn't. The one after that and the one after that were just as boring, if not more so. The most exciting thing that had happened so far was the class's reaction to her entrance and all of the different ways the teachers could say her name. In each lesson she sat by the window, next to Suichi whenever she could so that she could try to avoid glares or various boys hitting on her.

Riena was very grateful for the bell signaling lunch period. At least she might be able to take a short walk before gym.

Kurama stood by the door, waiting. Riena didn't seem to be very comfortable around people and he wanted to see if she would sit with him at lunch, maybe even get her to warm up a bit. Riena came out last, her book bag firmly in place on her shoulder. "Hello Riena," Kurama greeted. Riena jumped and whirled around to face him. "Oh! Hello Suichi."

"I was wondering if you wanted to eat lunch together. I noticed that you're rather jumpy around people and I wanted to see if we could get you over that, or at least lessen it."

Riena searched Kurama's face. She had learned to be cautious with almost everything and everyone. However, he did not seem to want to harm her. She finally relaxed. "Sure," she agreed. "Lead the way." Kurama's smile widened as he nodded, turned and began to walk away from Riena.

The hall was empty, which she was grateful for. Riena had been uncomfortably aware of the glares and looks of longing that she had been receiving from the school's population. Then again, she had always been a little over-aware.

Kurama led Riena down many different hallways, every once in a while glancing back to make sure that she was following, until he came to a set of double doors at the very end of the hall. He led Riena inside where they attracted many more glares. The pair grabbed food trays, placed a few items on them, and then headed for a table in the corner of the room by the window.

Once again, Riena was staring out the window.

'She always looks so sad,' Kurama thought as he kept his eyes trained on her still figure. Riena suddenly realized that she was being watched.

She turned around and came face to face with Kurama. Their eyes locked for the second time that day. Kurama's eyes softened slightly as the light seemed to dance in Riena's eyes. Once again, Riena was painfully aware of everyone in the cafeteria watching them, holding their breath, waiting to see what they were going to do next. She was also aware of how close they were. After all, one can only get so far away from another when you're both sitting on a tiny little bench. 'She really is beautiful,' he thought as he reached up and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

Kurama's desire was winning over his common sense. He leaned forward and then.
