Storm Sword: I don't own Danny Phantom or Xiaolin Showdown.

Danny: So why the hell am I here? And why did you point out that you don't own XS.

Storm Sword: You are here cause I said so. And I forgot my XS story disclaimer. Now you can read the story while I go find Sam and Tucker. And the OCs.

Danny dropped down through two floors and landed outside the door to his classroom, trying to cover his bleeding arm.

"Mr. Fenton, you are late! That's the eighth time this month. You are risking a week or more of suspension," said his teacher, Mr. Lancer. "Now as I was saying, we have three new students. Keiko is from Japan, Candy is from England, and, erm," he paused to check a list, "Blade is from Brazil."

A few kids laughed at his name, but when Blade turned around they abruptly stopped. He was dressed in a black T-shirt and black pants. His hair was black and his eyes were such a dark blue that they looked black. A few kids stopped laughing entirely, but most were just surprised since they hadn't seen his eyes or what he was wearing. They soon resumed laughing at the way he was dressed.

"You two would get along," said a boy sitting behind Sam. Sam ignored him. She was looking at Danny, who was looking at Candy, mesmerized.

Mr. Lancer started a lecture and mostly everyone tuned out. Sam and Tucker started having a pointless argument. Danny continued to stare at Candy, and so Tucker and Sam started to talk about it. Keiko and Blade seemed to be talking about it as well.

Sam: (angrily) I think he's falling in love with Candy.

Blade: (sarcastically) Did you just figure that out?

Sam: Don't talk about what you don't know about.

Blade: Fine. I won't talk about it.

Tucker: (changes the subject) So what's your real name? You couldn't have been born with a name like Blade.

Blade: That information isn't given out. But my pen's running low on ink. If you make a donation, maybe we'll talk.

It was a threat. His pen had blood red ink, Sam noted. That meant that you would have to endure substantial pain.

Tucker and Sam: nervous laugh

Tucker: (Changes subject again) So do you play any sports?

Keiko: Baseball.

Blade: Soccer.

They got into a friendlier discussion and had become friends before class ended.

Mr. Lancer finished his lecture and they went to lunch.

Out in the hallway Blade got his "initiation." New kids were shoved in lockers and such, and if you didn't crack after a week, you were just another kid. Sam and Tucker regretted seeing this happen. They assumed that he would be fine if it was just Dash and his gang, but the whole school was against him. Well, they would have regretted it, if it had happened. It went like this.

Dash attempted to push Blade into the locker. Blade ducked. Not a cowardly flinch but a strategic dodge. Dash's hand was inside the locker, so Blade kicked it closed and went to lunch. He then took a seat next to Keiko.

Danny: So where am I in this?

Storm Sword: You're still staring at Candy. Relax. You get to be in chapter three. I just felt like focusing a fic on Sam and an OC.

The next day:

Sam was not happy. She had been beaten up three times. Or was it four? The second beating hurt so much that she might have been beaten up but forgot about it. She wished she could forget about the other beatings as well. And the worst part of it was that she had been beaten up for no reason. Dash and his gang had beaten her up twice, or was it three times? On her way home and once coming to school. Dash was taking out his anger on Sam because at lunch he had punched Blade in the face with his hardest punch. It wasn't like he wasn't hurt. That was the worst part to Dash. He had broken Blade's jaw, and the whole time Blade was smiling. Was it even possible to smile with a broken jaw? Because of that, Sam was walking to school with her arm in a sling and various bandages.

"Hey Sam." said her friends. Most of her friends. Danny couldn't have cared less. He didn't care about anything but Candy. He had phased through his seat a few times and turned invisible. Sam tried to ignore him, but it was hard to ignore the way he was using his ghost powers. She hoped Blade and Keiko wouldn't notice.

"Sorry about getting you beaten up by Dash and his gang." How had Blade known that it was his fault, and that it was Dash and his gang? Sam thought. And how did his jaw heal so fast? I heard it took weeks. Sam decided to ask him.

"My jaw wasn't really broken, just dislocated. No solid foods for a week. Not that that would cause any problems here. That food is just a bunch of lumpy mush."

It was almost the end of class and they would have talked a bit more, until they heard Danny talk for the first time since the morning of the day before.

"So do you want o go out Friday night?" Danny said to Candy.

"Sure. I'd love to." Candy told him.

Keiko gave Danny a pitying look. They went to lunch. Sam got out a little later. She was walking slowly because she was angry that Danny had asked Candy out. She started to walk out of the room, but tripped and fell. She looked behind her to see that she had stepped on Blade's pen. She decided to take it to him, when she noticed that that it was cracked and ink was coming out.

Damn. He's probably going to kill me for that. There was a strange smell coming from the pen. The smell of human blood.

Danny: You could end the chapter right here.

Storm Sword: The chapter doesn't end until I find Tucker, Sam, Blade and Keiko.

That's it. I'm getting answers and I'm getting them now! She walked up to Blade.

"Blade, I want answers." Keiko gave blade an I told you so look. "I know that something's up. Your pen is filled with human blood. You never feel pain. And you know something I don't about Candy!"

"Alright. I'll tell you. The reason is that I'm a ghost."

Danny: Why'd you do a cliffhanger?

Storm Sword: I like them. don't worry. Chapter two will be up soon.
