Chapter 1
First Day of School
Monday; Sarayashiki Jr. High: 1st Period, L.A.-PT 3
"Come on Cass! Why do you take so long?" Scolded the green-hazel-eyed girl with flowy brown medium length hair to her friend. "I'm gonna leave without you if you don't hurry. I'm not gonna be late ta Henn's because of you," she said as she walked towards the door. They were the last ones left in the portable. "Just hold on a sec! It won't close," said Cass as she tried her hardest to force the clip closed. Cass also had hazel eyes, but her hair was a bit lighter & shorter. "How hard could it be to close a stupid suitcase?!" complained the other girl. She walked back over to Cass & placed her books on the desk next to her. "Move," she said, & Cass backed away. She grabbed the clip & closed it without a problem. "Woo! Thanks Z!" said Cass. Z replied smugly, "No problem, weakling."
"I'm not a weakling!"
"Oh yeah? Then how come you couldn't close that stupid case?"
"Because.there's too much stuff in it!"
"But I closed it just fine," Z argued as they walked out the door. They were always arguing constantly. They were best friends, but they didn't show it. They walked into the main building & Z got to her seminar. "See ya," she said. Cass waved back. They had two different seminars, but other than that, they had every class together.
Seminar: Reading-Room 604
Z walked in & Henn stopped her with the words, "Why are you late?" Z then replied, "Well.uh.Cass took a long time &.uh.I had to wait for her.so-" Henn cut her off, "You 'had to wait' for her?"
"Well.no. Not really.but-" Henn cut her off again, "But what? You're late. Don't blame it on anyone else. It's your fault. Go sit down." Z went & sat her table with Roxy (girl; short black hair & dark brown eyes) & Chris (boy; shaggy dirty blonde hair & brown eyes). Roxy looked up from the book she was reading & looked at Z as she put her briefcase down & grabbed her own book. Funny thing was, there was no book. It was a bunch of computer papers written on with pencil. Roxy looked ay her strangely as she leaned back in her chair & began to read, but then shook it off. Z was always doing weird things. Like the red ribbon she was always wore. She never took it off when she went to school, & she didn't know why either. She didn't care. "Psst," Roxy called & then tapped on the table. Z looked up at her. Roxy shrugged & pointed at the papers. Z leaned forward & flipped the papers around & then pointed at the pencil written heading. It read, "THE FOUR REALMS" Roxy looked up at Z & whispered, "You're crazy!"
"It's soooo cool! Look there's four of them," Roxy rolled her eyes, "There's the Rei-kai, which is the Spirit World; the Nin-gen-kai, which is the Human World; the Makai, which is the Demon World; & the Ji-goku, which is Hell. What lies within them is pretty obvious," Z explained. "Whatever," Roxy said. She pushed the papers down & asked, "'Ey, me, Liz, & Cass are going to the movies tonight. Wanna come?"
"When?"
"7"
"Sorry. Can't. I'm already going out with a few other friends this afternoon. If it were a little later, I could've probably gone. Now I know why Cass is leaving early. "
"Girls, read," interrupted Henn. Roxy & Z sat back & began to read again.
The morning announcements came on & 5 minutes were left of seminar. Free time. The students were allowed to talk during the last 5 minutes, they just weren't allowed to get up. Chris turned to Z who was still reading the written papers. He noticed the title & remembered something. "Hey! Have you seen that-" he started, then noticed that she wasn't paying attention. He began to tap her quickly & annoyingly, "Hey. Hey. HEY!" She slowly began to look up as she tried to finish the paragraph & answered, "Wh-What?"
"Have you seen the new guy?"
"What new guy?"
"That weird one. He has this spiky black hair and this black dress?"
"A guy that wears a dress?" she asked for reassurance. She didn't quite believe him. He tried to explain further, "Well, not a dress, but this black thing like a coat or something but without zippers or buttons. Just pockets." Z looked at him still not believing him. Roxy entered the conversation saying, "Oooh, I know who you're talking about. He has this weird spiky hair that's like this tall, right?"
"Yeah," said Chris as he turned to her. "With uh.this freaky. white. zigzag.highlight.thing in the middle, & he talks weird too," they said in unison as they pointed a finger above their heads & moved them up & down. Z looked at both of them as if they were crazy. "O.K. & you guys say that I'm crazy," she said. Roxy replied, "You are. We're not kidding. I saw him this morning in the halls. This guy looks really freaky. Almost as freaky as you."
"Shut the hell up you stupid bitch!" Z replied angrily. Z wasn't sure about it. Yeah, there could be some new rocker kid or something, but the way they were describing his looks was a little unbelievable. "Shit you will not believe how fast he can run!" Chris bursted. "Why?" Z & Roxy asked in unison.
"We had the mile run today, right, & the coach told him he didn't have to do it today because he might need practice since he had just gotten here & he might not have been ready, & then he says 'I don't need practice. I can run faster than any of you stupid humans'. So nobody says anything & the coach tells everyone to get on the track. He says ready set go & starts the stopwatch. The new guy gathers all four sticks, okay, all four," he said showing four fingers, "In less than 15 seconds."
"Are you serious?" Z & Roxy asked amazed. "Uh, why would I shit about something like that?" he asked sarcastically. Z stared down at the shiny table as she pulled her red headband up to her forehead again. "Unbelievable," she thought, "Yet, it's pretty cool". Something hit her then. How did Chris know this? She looked up at him & asked. He said he went to P.E. this morning & that him & the new guy are in the same class. The bell wrung.
3rd Period, Band-Room 213
She got to her next class, band. The whole time she was walking through the halls, she thought about the new kid. She tried to picture him in her head, but she just couldn't. It was just too weird. She put her bag down next to her chair & went inside the instrument storage room to get her case, then sat down. She opened it & inside was three parts of a shiny clear crystal (a/n*not glass, crystal*) flute. She put them together & carefully put it down on the stand. She bent over to the side & opened her bag. She pulled out a white binder & placed it on the stand. She took her flute in her right hand & opened the binder with the other. Inside were plastic sheets with different music pieces in them. Her favorite pieces were "Lonely Heart" & "Hymn of the Demon Angel". No one had ever heard of the composers or the songs, & they were written only for flutes. A nun, Sister Mary Clare, had given them to her.
She started to play "Hymn of the Demon Angel", when Cass who was next to her & also played the flute, tried to join in, but she couldn't. No matter how much she tried, Cass could never play any of the two songs. Cassandra was a better player than she was. Probably better than everyone in band, & these were easy notes, but for some reason she just couldn't. The notes wouldn't even come out when she tried it, but then she looked at a different song & it came out perfect. Zysa was the only one ever to play even one note of the song, & she played it beautifully. No matter how many times she played it, everyone loved it. Her band instructor even forced her to play the two pieces in a solo on stage during a concert. The audience had stood up & yelled at the top of their lungs while clapping. Some thought it was the material used, but Cass had tried it using the crystal flute & she still got the same results. No one could even touch the flute because it would shock them, so there was no point in stealing it.
So as a natural reaction, everyone stopped what he or she was doing & began to listen to her. The room fell into a deep silence where only the crystal flute could be heard. After the hymn, everyone began to comment her on well she played. Some asked her to teach them, while others asked how she did it. She didn't know the answers to any of the questions. She had tried several times to teach them, but they couldn't. It was almost as if the songs were made especially & only for her.
The bell soon rang & it was off to lunch. Z put both Cass's & her flute back inside the instrument storage room while Cass closed her book bag, then they walked out together. As they walked, they talked about things. Cass brought something up. "Hey, have you seen that new guy?" asked Cass. "No, but let me guess. You have, right?"
"He's so freaky! He's got-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Roxy & Chris told me. How come everyone but me has seen him? It's not fair!"
"Well who knows? Maybe you'll get to see him now."
"How did you see him?"
"He's in my seminar."
"That's not fair!"
"HA! HA! I laugh at you!" Cass teased. Z sighed & they changed the subject. They walked until they reached the back of the line outside the cafeteria. Z stopped & Cass continued to walk as she said, "I'll go check in the front to see if Roxy & Luz are there." Z waited a few seconds then got on her tiptoes to see if Cass had found them. She looked above everyone's heads & in a few seconds saw a familiar hand waving at her to come forward. She left her spot & went up to where the waving hand was located. Cass, Luz, & Roxy were talking together, & Rita & Christine were talking together.
Luz was a bit shorter & quite big around the waist. She had natural tan skin, dark brown eyes, & long, dark black hair braided down to just above waist level. Christine was about an inch taller with short black hair pinned up on the sides & medium brown eyes. Her skin wasn't as pale as Z's, but close to it, (a/n*no. Z does not look dead!*). She looked like a decent girl. Rita on the other hand, looked quite a bit like a hoe. She was the same height as Z, & had a medium hair length. She had dark brown hair that was tied in a tight bun at the back of her head, with a big scrungy & lots of gel, & with dark brown eyes. She had unnatural tan & big glossy lips. She also wore blue eye shadow smudged on her eyelids with dark blue eyeliner. She had long & red acrylic nails glued on. Her skirt was too short & you could almost see her thong, & her water bra almost showed.
A security guard passed by & Rita waved to him flirtingly with a finger in her mouth. Z rolled her eyes & thought, "hore". Rita saw Z's little trick & when the security guard left, she turned to her & said, "Listen bitch, don't hate me cause I can get some from whoever I want & you can't get it at all," & then she giggled. Z snapped back, "No! Why don't you listen you stupid slut? At least I'm not the one that's desperate enough to fuck a fat man that's 3 times my age, hore!" Rita looked at her stunned & just turned around. Her hair flipped in Z's face & Z's temper began to boil. Cass noticed & she placed a hand on Z's shoulder & said, "Hey, she ain't worth it. Come on, let's look for the new guy." Z turned around & took in a deep breath, & then exhaled. "Why do you pay attention to her? You know that's what she wants," Roxy asked & re-informed. "She gets me so fucking mad!" Z said through gritted teeth. She then turned to Roxy & asked a bit irritated, "Why do you let her sit with us?" Roxy lifted up her hands & said, "Hey, don't look at me. It's not my fault she follows me." The 3 others then replied in unison, "Uh...yes it is." Roxy replied, "I've tried to tell her to go away, & you guys have seen me, but you know how she gets." They all sighed. Luz then said, "Well, at least the line is moving."
"Why don't we do the same thing?" said Cass as they walked in the line. "Uh.we are moving," answered Luz & Roxy. "I mean our lives," replied Cass.
Noon: Lunch-Cafeteria
They sat down at any empty table with their plates in their hands. The table had 8 chairs, 4 on each side. 2 chairs were left on the opposite end of where they all sat down. It looked somewhat like this:
Roxy, Z, Cass, Empty
Rita, Christine, Luz, Empty
There was a wall to the right, & another column of tables to the left. Z looked around for the mystery guy, & to her surprise, she found an exact match. She elbowed Roxy & asked, "Hey, is that him?"
"Where?"
"Over there," Z pointed to 1 of the back tables, "That guy sitting by himself over there." Roxy squinted & then answered, "Yeah! That's him." Rita turned her head & glanced at the mystery boy, then looked back & said, "Watch the pro." She got up with her mini-purse & walked to the table where the new guy was sitting. They watched as she sat down & said something. He didn't say anything back. He didn't even open his eyes to look up at her. Rita said something again, & without even bothering to look up at her, he answered something back. Rita immediately stood up, said 1 last thing with quite a furious face, & stomped back to her seat. "What'd he say?" everyone asked in unison when she got back. "That bastard! How rude!" Rita yelled. "But what did he say?!" they all asked impatiently. "I-I-I won't tell you!" she replied, afraid to they would make fun of her. They all sighed. "Fine then. I'll go," Z said without hesitation, & just the same she got up & began to walk over to him with a strong stride. Everyone started to call after her not to go, but she wasn't afraid. Z sat in front of him. He looked up at her. His red, crimson eyes froze her when he looked into hers.
Back at the table the girls watched in awe. "Oh my God! He's looking at her!" Roxy said in shock. "Oh my God," repeated Cass with a smile. Luz & Christine watched with interested smiles, as Rita blushed with jealousy.
"So. What's your name?" she said hesitantly. For a moment there was silence. Then he answered, "Is this another 1 of those stupid human games?" Z looked at him confused. "Uh.I'm not sure what you mean," she said shakily. "Haven't you ever heard the expression 'curiosity killed the human'?" he replied. Z was beginning to gather courage as well as an attitude. "Listen, I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but I'm just trying to help you out here. My friends over there think you're some kind of a freak, along with « the rest of the school. So are you gonna tell me your name or not?" she said as her attitude took over the best of her. "I don't need your help. By the way, are you finished with your little 'speech' yet?" he said with a sharp attitude. That was the last straw. She couldn't take anymore of this. "Why you little-" she began to say with rage, & then her cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket & placed it on her ear & yelled still frustrated, "What the hell do you want?!"
"Z, it's me," said the little voice in the phone. Z turned to her old table & saw Cass with her cell phone at her ear & waving towards her. "What? Cass? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here?!" Z replied even angrier now. "Hey, where'd he go?" Cass said through the phone as she pulled her hand down. "What do you mean 'where'd he go'? He's right." Z turned to find an empty seat with a full tray of food, ".here."
5th Period, History-PT 4
Z sat at her desk next to Cass & Luz, behind Roxy, in front of an empty seat, & across from Rita & Christine. She always chose 1 of the back seats because of the empty row behind the rest of the class. She didn't like people sitting behind her because it gave her this really creepy feeling, & she didn't like people bothering her hair. She wasn't some kind of prep or anything. Actually, she was the tomboy of the group. She just had this thing with people touching her. She hated it because it made her feel like a dog, & dogs belong to people. She didn't belong to anyone.
She was drawing a picture of something. Something from the back of her mind. She didn't know who or what it was yet, but she remembered it from somewhere. Anyways, Ms. Sukel called the class to attention & she put her things away. She looked to the front of the classroom, & it was the last thing she wanted today. That weird spiky-haired kid was standing next to Sukel's work desk. "Class," Sukel started, & Z crossed her fingers & hoped he wasn't a new student, "this is our new student. I want you all to make Mr. Hiei Jaganshi feel welcomed on his 1st day of school," Sukel sounded a little nervous, "Um.you can go sit behind Ms. Mokumoro." Z freaked. She dropped her head into her crossed arms on her desk & asked herself miserably, "Why? Why me?"
"She's the smartest student in this class, but not the best behaved," she looked at Z sharply & Z smiled a little wobbly smile & sounded nervous when she tried to laugh. A little sweat drop appeared on the side of her head, & was then instantly gone as she silently cursed at the teacher. "She'll help you catch up to the rest, & if she bothers you just tell me & we'll get the problem solved," Sukel said nicely to Hiei, but with a warning tone to Z. Hiei interrupted, "No thanks. I can help myself & solve my own issues."
Z was going to hate the rest of this more than anything else. Or at least, that's what she thought.

Chapter 1
First Day of School
Monday; Sarayashiki Jr. High: 1st Period, L.A.-PT 3
"Come on Cass! Why do you take so long?" Scolded the green-hazel-eyed girl with flowy brown medium length hair to her friend. "I'm gonna leave without you if you don't hurry. I'm not gonna be late ta Henn's because of you," she said as she walked towards the door. They were the last ones left in the portable. "Just hold on a sec! It won't close," said Cass as she tried her hardest to force the clip closed. Cass also had hazel eyes, but her hair was a bit lighter & shorter. "How hard could it be to close a stupid suitcase?!" complained the other girl. She walked back over to Cass & placed her books on the desk next to her. "Move," she said, & Cass backed away. She grabbed the clip & closed it without a problem. "Woo! Thanks Z!" said Cass. Z replied smugly, "No problem, weakling."
"I'm not a weakling!"
"Oh yeah? Then how come you couldn't close that stupid case?"
"Because.there's too much stuff in it!"
"But I closed it just fine," Z argued as they walked out the door. They were always arguing constantly. They were best friends, but they didn't show it. They walked into the main building & Z got to her seminar. "See ya," she said. Cass waved back. They had two different seminars, but other than that, they had every class together.
Seminar: Reading-Room 604
Z walked in & Henn stopped her with the words, "Why are you late?" Z then replied, "Well.uh.Cass took a long time &.uh.I had to wait for her.so-" Henn cut her off, "You 'had to wait' for her?"
"Well.no. Not really.but-" Henn cut her off again, "But what? You're late. Don't blame it on anyone else. It's your fault. Go sit down." Z went & sat her table with Roxy (girl; short black hair & dark brown eyes) & Chris (boy; shaggy dirty blonde hair & brown eyes). Roxy looked up from the book she was reading & looked at Z as she put her briefcase down & grabbed her own book. Funny thing was, there was no book. It was a bunch of computer papers written on with pencil. Roxy looked ay her strangely as she leaned back in her chair & began to read, but then shook it off. Z was always doing weird things. Like the red ribbon she was always wore. She never took it off when she went to school, & she didn't know why either. She didn't care. "Psst," Roxy called & then tapped on the table.

It read, "THE FOUR REALMS" Roxy looked up at Z & whispered, "You're crazy!"
"It's soooo cool! Look there's four of them," Roxy rolled her eyes, "There's the Rei-kai, which is the Spirit World; the Nin-gen-kai, which is the Human World; the Makai, which is the Demon World; & the Ji-goku, which is Hell. What lies within them is pretty obvious," Z explained. "Whatever," Roxy said. She pushed the papers down & asked, "'Ey, me, Liz, & Cass are going to the movies tonight. Wanna come?"
"When?"
"7"
"Sorry. Can't. I'm already going out with a few other friends this afternoon. If it were a little later, I could've probably gone. Now I know why Cass is leaving early. "
"Girls, read," interrupted Henn. Roxy & Z sat back & began to read again.
The morning announcements came on & 5 minutes were left of seminar. Free time. The students were allowed to talk during the last 5 minutes, they just weren't allowed to get up. Chris turned to Z who was still reading the written papers. He noticed the title & remembered something. "Hey! Have you seen that-" he started, then noticed that she wasn't paying attention.

"Yeah," said Chris as he turned to her. "With uh.this freaky. white. zigzag.highlight.thing in the middle, & he talks weird too," they said in unison as they pointed a finger above their heads & moved them up & down. Z looked at both of them as if they were crazy. "O.K. & you guys say that I'm crazy," she said. Roxy replied, "You are. We're not kidding. I saw him this morning in the halls. This guy looks really freaky. Almost as freaky as you."
"Shut the hell up you stupid bitch!" Z replied angrily. Z wasn't sure about it. Yeah, there could be some new rocker kid or something, but the way they were describing his looks was a little unbelievable. "Shit you will not believe how fast he can run!" Chris bursted. "Why?" Z & Roxy asked in unison.

Noon: Lunch-Cafeteria
They sat down at any empty table with their plates in their hands. The table had 8 chairs, 4 on each side. 2 chairs were left on the opposite end of where they all sat down. It looked somewhat like this:
Roxy, Z, Cass, Empty
Rita, Christine, Luz, Empty
There was a wall to the right, & another column of tables to the left. Z looked around for the mystery guy, & to her surprise, she found an exact match. She elbowed Roxy & asked, "Hey, is that him?"

They watched as she sat down & said something. He didn't say anything back. He didn't even open his eyes to look up at her. Rita said something again, & without even bothering to look up at her, he answered something back. Rita immediately stood up, said 1 last thing with quite a furious face, & stomped back to her seat. "What'd he say?" everyone asked in unison when she got back. "That bastard! How rude!" Rita yelled. "But what did he say?!" they all asked impatiently. "I-I-I won't tell you!" she replied, afraid to they would make fun of her. They all sighed. "Fine then. I'll go," Z said without hesitation, & just the same she got up & began to walk over to him with a strong stride. Everyone started to call after her not to go, but she wasn't afraid. Z sat in front of him. He looked up at her. His red, crimson eyes froze her when he looked into hers.
Back at the table the girls watched in awe. "Oh my God! He's looking at her!" Roxy said in shock. "Oh my God," repeated Cass with a smile. Luz & Christine watched with interested smiles, as Rita blushed with jealousy.
"So. What's your name?" she said hesitantly. For a moment there was silence. Then he answered, "Is this another 1 of those stupid human games?" Z looked at him confused. "Uh.I'm not sure what you mean," she said shakily. "Haven't you ever heard the expression 'curiosity killed the human'?" he replied. Z was beginning to gather courage as well as an attitude. "Listen, I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but I'm just trying to help you out here. My friends over there think you're some kind of a freak, along with « the rest of the school. So are you gonna tell me your name or not?" she said as her attitude took over the best of her. "I don't need your help. By the way, are you finished with your little 'speech' yet?" he said with a sharp attitude. That was the last straw. She couldn't take anymore of this. "Why you little-" she began to say with rage, & then her cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket & placed it on her ear & yelled still frustrated, "What the hell do you want?!"
"Z, it's me," said the little voice in the phone. Z turned to her old table & saw Cass with her cell phone at her ear & waving towards her. "What? Cass? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here?!" Z replied even angrier now. "Hey, where'd he go?" Cass said through the phone as she pulled her hand down. "What do you mean 'where'd he go'? He's right." Z turned to find an empty seat with a full tray of food, ".here."
5th Period, History-PT 4
Z sat at her desk next to Cass & Luz, behind Roxy, in front of an empty seat, & across from Rita & Christine. She always chose 1 of the back seats because of the empty row behind the rest of the class. She didn't like people sitting behind her because it gave her this really creepy feeling, & she didn't like people bothering her hair. She wasn't some kind of prep or anything. Actually, she was the tomboy of the group. She just had this thing with people touching her. She hated it because it made her feel like a dog, & dogs belong to people. She didn't belong to anyone.
She was drawing a picture of something. Something from the back of her mind. She didn't know who or what it was yet, but she remembered it from somewhere. Anyways, Ms. Sukel called the class to attention & she put her things away. She looked to the front of the classroom, & it was the last thing she wanted today. That weird spiky-haired kid was standing next to Sukel's work desk. "Class," Sukel started, & Z crossed her fingers & hoped he wasn't a new student, "this is our new student. I want you all to make Mr. Hiei Jaganshi feel welcomed on his 1st day of school," Sukel sounded a little nervous, "Um.you can go sit behind Ms. Mokumoro." Z freaked. She dropped her head into her crossed arms on her desk & asked herself miserably, "Why? Why me?"
"She's the smartest student in this class, but not the best behaved," she looked at Z sharply & Z smiled a little wobbly smile & sounded nervous when she tried to laugh. A little sweat drop appeared on the side of her head, & was then instantly gone as she silently cursed at the teacher. "She'll help you catch up to the rest, & if she bothers you just tell me & we'll get the problem solved," Sukel said nicely to Hiei, but with a warning tone to Z. Hiei interrupted, "No thanks. I can help myself & solve my own issues."
Z was going to hate the rest of this more than anything else. Or at least, that's what she thought.
