Rayden and Chloe were waiting for the parts I had promised; both of them wouldn't have long to wait. I continued to speak . . . .
"Well, it was my first day at the school, and of course a bunch of stuff went wrong, my uniform I needed hadn't come in so I wore my every day clothes to school, that wasn't the worst thing to happen to me that day though . . . ."
Chapter 1 Worst Bad Day Ever!
//Ugh, another month, another school. What is this one? 35 or maybe 36? Oh who knows or cares? // "Good Morning Class, we have a new student today. Her name is Ixiada Dragona. She has been to 37 different schools, please make her feel welcome today. Ixiada is kinda hard to say, do you have a nickname that everybody can call you by?" I got a surprised look on my face before saying, "Uh, just call me Ixi." "Okay Ixi, welcome to Sarayashiki Junior High. I'm Mr. Iwamoto as you already know." //Like I care who you are! Ch! This school isn't any different than the others, suck- up teachers and snobby students. // "Okay Ixi, you can take your seat, it's the third on the far right row." "Sure" I sighed and took my seat. Whispers from behind me just added to my "great" day I was having. "37 schools? Is she like a trouble-maker punk or something that kills everybody who ticks her off?" //Oh God girl, I wish I was, so I could kill you. Prep! // "And look at her clothes, blue tube top, showing her belly like a hooker, white flared pants with a black dragon on only one of the legs, surrounded by blue. White over-shirt, and a single blue glove on her left arm. Black, collar necklace. Is that dyed white hair or natural?" "It must be dyed because her bangs have blue tips." "Jeez, if her blue was black she could be a Goth." I turned around to shut up the preps. "If you got sumthin' to say, talk to my face and not my back!" I whispered fiercely, scaring them with a death glare.
I settled back into my work and the bell soon rang, and I left for 2nd hour. //God this day is going to suck majorly if that was my first period! // Then my books flew out of my hands as a punk looking kid with raven hair was pushed into me. He had a red mark on his face, and a ticked girl flicking her hand to stop the numb feeling from slapping him. "Ch! Look where you're falling kid!" I hissed as I picked up my scattered books. "Urameshi! Apologize to her!" Came the voice of a curly redhead. "It's Keiko's fault Kuwabara! She slapped me and I fell!" Urameshi yelled back. Keiko got angry red in her face, "It's your own fault, you perverted boy!" "Hn, whatever I don't care, just give my the schedule back Ura-whatever!" I said while I snatched the paper from his grasp. "Hey, you got a problem or something girl?" The raven-haired boy asked ticked. "Yeah I do, YOU!" I snapped at him before heading to my next class.
//Jeez, I hate new schools, everybody treats me like trash or ignore me or GRRRR! I hate moving! // The warning bell rang and I ran to class. I walked up to Mr. Akashi, the teacher, and handed him the piece of paper saying I was new blah, blah, load of crab. "Ah, yes Ixiada, how good of you to join our class. Your seat is right there." I sat where he pointed and waited for the bell to ring to start class. BRING!! It rang and two students came waltzing in a few seconds later. "Urameshi! Kuwabara! Tardy again are we?" //Oh God no, not the two baka bakas from the hall. Lord this is going to be a living nightmare! // "Hey, it's not our fault, we were held up by a girl in the hall." The raven-haired kid exclaimed. "Alright, a warning this time you two. Now sit!" They took their seats, unfortunately the raven-haired boy was right behind me.
Luck for me he didn't do anything, and 2nd and 3rd hours passed without any hitch. Yeah, everything was fine until the ten-minute break between 3rd and 4th hour. I went to go to my locker, but I must've taken a wrong turn or something because I wound up in a dead-end hallway. There was only one classroom, and it looked like it hadn't been used in years, the desks were ancient and covered in dust. That was all I really saw looking through the streaked door window. I went to turn around but felt like there was something in that class. I turned the knob, expecting it to be locked, but it turned easily even though it was ancient. The door opened and a bunch of dust was kicked into my face. I covered my mouth and coughed, but walked on. I had plenty of time, break had just started.
The room looked like an old science room, dust covered beakers and other equipment emphasized the old. "Hmm, this is interesting." I said as I looked on the teacher's desk. An old book covered in dust was lying open on the desk. Funny thing was, it wasn't a science book. I held the place with my finger and looked on the cover, "Makai: A Guide to the Demon Realm." "Makai? What kind of name is that?" I flipped back to the opened page. It was a detailed description on a demon thief named Yoko. "Okay?" I flipped the page, and a beautiful picture of a silver fox and a guy with silver hair and fox ears shocked me. "Wow, what a looker. Those ears are different though." I was so involved in looking in the rest of the book, I didn't hear the door shut and lock by itself. "Hmm, Passage to Makai, the detailed guide to get to the demon world." I read aloud. I continued to read the page aloud, one of my habits, and when I looked up I wasn't in Kansas anymore to put it simply.
I was surrounded by forest, and there was no classroom. I still had the book, the only thing to say I was actually in the room. "Okay then? Maybe it's a dream; yeah I got so bored reading someone's fantasy that I fell asleep without realizing it. Heh, right and pigs fly. God how did I get here?" I looked around; the forest was pretty enough, the kinda place you go for a picnic, but the last time I checked, I was NOT on a picnic. "HELLO!?" I yelled into the deep forest, getting no reply but my own echo, or maybe not. "Hello little girl, lost are we?" The snake-like voice appeared from behind me, and I spun around to see a guy, but he was green and looked more like a snake. "Uh no, just enjoying the scenery here, nice place. //Okay, my day just got weirder. // "You?" I asked back, backing up slightly. "No, I wouldn't be lost in my own forest!" It exclaimed proudly. "Uh, and what a nice forest it is!" I exclaimed, overly praising it to get away. //No one is going to believe me when I tell them this! // "I try to keep it that way, but trespassers always seem to mess it up." It hissed out. //That's not a good thing. I think it thinks I'm a trespasser. God, no one will believe this, that is, if I survive to tell it. //
The snake thing advanced slowly, and I backed up quickly. Then a thundering crash sounded and an ogre looking thing came crashing into view, urge to kill on its face. "Get out of my territory you lumbering oaf!" The snake thing hissed, the ogre thing ignored it. "You're coming with me girl!" it yelled in a deep voice pointing a spiked club at me. //Wait a minute, me? God what did I get myself into? // "Uh. I think you got the wrong girl, and besides, I don't go anywhere with strangers, just like my mommy always told me." I gave a fake innocence in my voice, trying to get out of this. "Nope you're the girl, and you don't have a choice in the matter!" The voice bellowed out, this is where I began running. The snake thing got out of the ogre things way as it lumbered after me.
As I ran I thought I saw a shadow in the trees running along side me, but when I blinked to recheck, nothing! I came to a river and stopped. It's way too wide and turbulent for me to get across in one piece that's for darn sure. //Oh God, I'm going to die! \\ I screamed in my head so as not to show the creature weakness. Then the shadowy thing I thought I saw earlier soared through the treetops to right in front of me. It turned out to be a boy, short with spiky black hair. His back was to me so I couldn't see his face, but he had a long black coat thing that ended around his ankles. I saw a sword glittering in the sun in his hands. He took a fighting stance and in the blink of an eye he vanished. Seconds later the ogre froze in its chase and burst to a million bloody pieces. I backed up and tripped. Landing on my butt I saw shadow boy appear a second later on the other side of the heap of bloody pieces.
He swung his sword in the air, flicking the blood and guts off it and he clicked it into its sheath. He turned and faced me; his eyes were a dark red, and full of anger. I hadn't realized it, but the one of the ogre's attacks had broken some wood that had hit me hard in the side. I clutched my bleeding side and watched shadow boy. //Great, I'm going to die, and by someone who is smaller than me. God how did I get myself into this mess? // I crawled backwards a few feet before pain in my side made me stop and rest. By now my side was completely red with my own blood, the blood loss was making my head spin. //No, must keep focused. Will not let myself die in a world of make-believe because of some stupid book! // Shadow boy came closer and with the pain in my side I couldn't get away. Involuntarily I felt myself shaking in fear. //No, I won't show him fear! Who am I kidding? I'm ready to pass out from fear right now! Oh God, I'm going to die, and what's worse, this guy just killed the last thing that tried to kill me! // I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder, and out of pure reflex I swung my hand around and whacked the thing in the face.
But also out of reflex I used my right hand, the hand I had used to hold over my wound on the left side of my stomach. I turned with the force of my blow and saw a redheaded boy about my age clutching his face, which had a lovely bloody handprint on it. He turned to look at me, surprise in his green eyes. I backed up but forgot that shadow boy was there, and I backed into him. He growled in annoyance but did nothing, thank God. "Kurama, is she the one?" Shadow boy asked to the redhead Kurama. Kurama kneeled down so that we were at eye level. I blankly stared into his green eyes. "Yes, I do believe she is Hiei." Kurama said standing up. "Well that would explain how a nigen with no spirit energy got into Makai." Shadow boy Hiei replied looking down at me. I tilted my head up and looked back, now curious. His eyes soon looked elsewhere. //Makai? So that book was about a real place. Freaky, hey wait! Where is the book? // I quickly looked all around where I was sitting and found no book. //But that stupid thing came with me! Where did it go? // Then I realized the two boys were staring at me. Before anyone could comment on my behavior I heard an unfamiliar tinkling of a charm bracelet I do not own.
The silver bracelet was clasped around my left hand, and it had a book looking charm on it. That was the only charm. I examined the charm, and found it to look just like the book. I grasped it carefully in my fingers to take a closer look, and as soon as I did that the book was in my lap, and the charm was gone. "Freaky." I whispered while leafing through the book, much to the curious eyes of Hiei and Kurama. I looked at one of the pages and low and behold HIEI was the tittle. This attracted Hiei's attention. "Hiei Jaganshi, fire apparition, native of Koorime, brother to Yukina ice apparition. Master swordsmen, with incredible speeds, wit and power. Poses the Jagan eye which gives him the attacks Dragon of the Darkness Flame, Fist of the Mortal Flame, Dragon of the Darkness Sword . . ." I trailed off after reading aloud the first few sentences.
Before I could react Hiei snatched the book from my lap and read over what I read aloud. "Hey you creep give it back!" I yelled standing up. "Make me!" Hiei snapped back. Picture electric bolts between our eyes. I stood there in fury, nobody, and I mean nobody steals from me, I don't care who they are or what they just did a few minutes ago. "I said GIVE IT!" I screamed and the book began glowing blue in his hands. It rose up and flew to my hands. Stepping back surprised I dropped it and the book flipped open to a page titled KURAMA. This caught the redhead's attention. He walked over to the book and picked it up reading silently the page. "Where did you get this?" He asked as I stood hand open for the book. "None of your beeswax!" I snapped.
Surprisingly enough he shrugged and handed the book back to me. I snatched it back and began to walk away from them. "Where do you think you're going?" Hiei said in an icy tone. "Why do you care?" I snapped at him not stopping. I heard a whooshing sound and a second later Hiei was right in front of me. I stepped back shocked. "What the?" I said in shock. Before he could answer my question another thunderous crashing sound cut him off. A huge dog with three heads slowly walked towards us, its three heads angled low to the ground, snarling. The book in my hands opened up on its own and flipped to a page entitled CERBERUS. "It's a Cerberus?" I questioned aloud as I read down the page. "Dog demon type, in nigen mythology it's said to guard the gates to Hades. Fire types are the most dangerous. Poisonous saliva from its three mouths makes it very dangerous to fight. WHAT!?" I yelled out loud. I turned and saw Hiei walk forward, sword out. "You're going to fight this thing?" I exclaimed. He simply chuckled and smiled while he took off a white bandana on his forehead, revealing a third eye. //That's not normal. // I simply watched. Then a bandage on his right arm began to disappear as though something was burning it off. A black dragon tattoo was wound around his arm. //A black dragon? But that's just like . . There's just no way that he could . . . // I was unwilling to finish my sentences. Kurama grabbed my arm and pulled me off to the side as Hiei took a strange stance.
