Chapter Two: Meeting the Rumored

+.:~ At the School ~:.+

"Wow! We made it! And with a few minutes to spare too! It's so nice to spend another refreshing year on this beautiful campus!"

"Whatever" answered Uotani with a casual wave of her hand, "I just want to finally graduate and get out of this place. Seeing this campus for three years is far more than enough for me."

"Look! There's Hana-chan!" Tooru exclaimed as her gaze pinpointed their other best friend. "Let's go say hello!"

They weaved their way skillfully through the other students who were slowly migrating to their rightful classrooms and finally ended up where their always patient friend, Hanajima Saki was standing. After greetings and chatting a few words, Tooru started to sense a difference in the school atmosphere.

"Anou, Hana-chan? Why is everybody whispering for the most part and glancing around nervously?"

"Yeah, why? We just got here so we have no clue, but you've been standing here for a while, what's going on?"

"People are talking about a new gang transferring into this area, and rumors have it that they plan on attending this school.  Although the details are still unclear to me, I've gathered that they call themselves, The Jyunnishi."

Standing there with nervous expectance, the trio managed to find out much more by listening to the hoards of people in the courtyard madly whispering.

"Are they really coming?"

"Yeah…."

"How scary!"

"Shh…..lest they here you!"

"But they aren't even here yet!"

"Hey, I heard from my friend that lives in the town south that the Jyunnishi are really secretive."

"Yeah, they usually keep to themselves, so I've heard."

"They're also really picky about who they let in."

"Elite, eh?"

"I've heard that the guys in it are really cute!"

"To die for"

"Wow…."

"I can't wait to see them."

"I can, gangs are so freaky."

"Don't be such a wuss, having a gang here would be awesome."

"Did you hear about their way of identification?"

"Oh! My cousin told me that the members all have rings of different metals to prove their rankings!"

"Rings?"

" *nods* Bronze for the normal members, silver for the elite, and the leader has a pure gold one!"

"Gold! Wow… must have been expensive."

"Forget expensive, their leader has looks that can kill! I got a glimpse of him once when he left a public building and stepped into an awaiting BMW. My mind totally went one tracked and I nearly tripped on a crack in the sidewalk! I was so lucky that I didn't keel over!"

"Oh, MY GOD! WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE!! Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

"He had light bluish- purplish hair and the most gorgeous violet eyes on this planet."

"!"

"He's also tall, has a pale complexion, and a slight build!"

"My goodness! You make him sound so perfect!"

"He is."

With that, the school yard went silent as a new group of students entered the premises led by a pale boy with light hair.

"IT'S HIM!" Somebody whispered furiously, and the soft murmur of whispers started again, the cold violet eyes however, paid them no heed.

When the sudden hush came about, Tooru, Uotani, and Hanajima all turned to see a group of never before seen students enter.

"So those must be The Jyunnishi, they don't look that tough."

"But looks can be deceiving."

"Hai. Uo-chan, Hana-chan is right, you can never judge a person by their appearances."

As the group made their way past the hoards of gaping people and into the building, possibly to get their schedules, Tooru finally got a clear view of the talked of gang. There were eight of them present, three girls and five guys.

In the front was a pale youth that she recognized immediately as the leader that all the girls at the school were busy describing, he was handsome indeed she thought, but had the coldest eyes. 'Like ice'

Following behind him was a girl with black hair that covered her shoulders and ran down part of her back and eyes of midnight blue that looked unseeingly at the world; she followed the leader's example of ignoring the whispers and murmurs. Tooru thought in awe that she was beautiful in an unearthly way; she had an aura of the moon, pale and radiating. Walking beside her was a boy with a bored look and the most bizarre white and black hair you ever saw. His body was decorated with unusual pieces of jewelry.

Behind them came a girl with cute brown eyes and brown hair that looked at the audience with much amusement as she clung onto a boy with firey orange hair and an annoyed tough look. The boy looked like he was trying to shake her off his arm with no avail.

Bringing up the end was a trio of mixed company. A genki looking young boy with brown cheerful eyes, bright yellow hair and a smile to match accompanied another boy and a girl. The girl's eyes held a mixture of fear and curiosity unvoiced while goldenrod hair framed her gentle looking face. The boy however had light brown hair and a look in his dark brown eyes that held an 'I'm-superior-to-you' sign.

At once Tooru could tell that they were indeed different from everyday students, for even though they were very much different from each other, they all seem to have a similar emotional bruise. And yes, they all indeed have the rumored rings upon their fingers seven silver and one gold bands flash subtly in the clear morning sun.

The unexpected bell rang, knocking the students back into reality as they all raced to their first period classroom.

A/N: So so , what did you think? I know, this is still intro but I swear that there is action in the next chapter, havoc of the after school mission that Akito and Co. have planned……

*****Short Preview:*******

"Do we have to do this?" 

"Yes"

"But…. What if they catch us?"

"OH MY GOD! WATCH YOUR BACK!"

"WE'LL HAVE TO RUN THIS RED LIGHT!"

"SHE'S GONNA GET HIT!!"
