~`- Chapter Two: Wake Up Time -`~
It was 7:30 A.M. The vast, lighted with gold light spilling in from the east. In the middle of a quiet neighborhood stood a quiet, two story, white house with many different varieties of flowers lining the walk-way from the street to the front door. Inside, the Chiba family was doing it's daily morning routine. Alexander Chiba had already left for work and inside the kitchen Mrs Teresa Chiba could be found preparing lunch for her 12-year old daughter, Samantha, and her 14-year old son, Darien. Mrs. Chiba was of the age of thirty-five but at a glance she looked twenty, she had slightly tanned skin, long wavy brown hair and loving green eyes.
Walking to the middle of the medium-sized kitchen she placed on the circular table two paper bags, one for each of her children. Before she even let go of the second bag Samantha Chiba came rushing through the door from the hall with her light blue book-bag in tow. Sam had slightly tanned skin, light brown eyes and wavy brown hair, she got most of her looks from her mom.
"Sam, where's your brother?" Mrs. Chiba inquired but was already guessing where he was and what he was doing - in his room sleeping. Sam rolled her eyes heavenward.
"Mom, please. Where do you EXPECT him to be? He never does anything else...besides eat," she reached for the lunch in her mothers hand, but she lifted the bag out of arms reach.
"Will you do a favor for me and wake him?"
"FAVOR?! Mom you're not asking for a favor you're asking for a miracle! That idiotic brother of mine can't be waken!" the young girl exclaimed while reaching for her lunch again. Mrs. Chiba moved her hand out of Sam's reach yet again.
"Well then perform a miracle or you can go to school with no lunch!" Grumbling Sam turned and stomped her way back through the door and her way up to the stairs. Two minutes later a yell could be heard from the upstairs,
"SAM!!!!!!"
" Sleeping Beauty is awake. May I have my lunch now, I'm going to be late," Sam stated placidly as she walked back into the kitchen. Mrs. Chiba smiled, got up from where she was sitting and handed her the brown paper bag.
"Have a nice day at school, dear" Sam just rolled her eyes, gave her mother a kiss and walked out of the back door with her book-bag banging against the doorway. Mrs. Chiba laughed softly and headed for the hall door. Walking up the royal blue carpeted stairs she reached the second floor hallway. The hallway was about the length of the house with portraits of the family all along the walls and at the furthest end of the hall there was a door which was slightly ajar. Mrs. Chiba turned and walked in that direction but stopped briefly to look at a round clock hanging on the wall to the right of a portrait of her mother, the clock read 7: 45. When she reached the open door she realized the carpet was squishy. Lifting her hand the woman pushed open the door to a soaked Darien lying tangled inside his bed sheets.
"Were you planning on getting up dear?" Mrs. Chiba called as she stood out in the dry hall. Darien struggled with the blankets and sheets for a while before throwing them to the floor and sitting straight up in bed. Darien was fourteen years old, had tanned skin, was a bit muscular and had short midnight black hair which fell across his deep, colbalt blue eyes. Throwing his legs over to the side he sat up and stretched before turning to his mother.
"Mom do you know what that little brat did?!" Darien whined. His mother clasped her hand over her mouth in effort not to start giggling non- stop at her son who was the unfortunate victim of a water gun held by an angry sister.
"I can guess, now are you going to get ready? You only have..." she looked at the clock in the hall again. " You only have ten minutes before you're going to be late."
That got him going. He rushed forward, slammed the door shut and zoomed around the changing into school uniform. Raking one hand through his hair and putting on his shoes at the same time he hopped to the door, fell and slammed face-first into the door.
"Ouch..." Getting back up he whisked the door open and rushed down the steps into the kitchen. "Mom! Have you seen my jacket?"
"It's right here Darien, you don't have to yell" She handed him his lunch and a navy blue jacket, snatching them away from her he ran out the door.
**************************
Great, just great, I'm going to be late! I ran down the sidewalk fullspeed towards my school. One thing I'm grateful for thought is that the sidewalks are empty, I won't run into anybody today. When I was a half-a- block form school I heard wails coming from an empty parking lot, stopping I walked closser to investigate. Turns out two boys were torturing a black cat lying on the pavement.
"Hold it still, I want to feel it's tongue," one of the boys exclaimed.
"I'm trying but this thing won't stop figetting," the second boy answered. I don't know what but something in me boiled, those morbid kids!
"Hey you! Leave that cat alone!" I yelled, their eyes got wide and they ran away. I bent down to look at the still cat and it turned it's head toward me before suddenly springing up onto the nearby wall. On it's forehead there was a suspicious crescent moon. "Heh...uh...nice kittie, I won't hurt you..."
RIIIIIIING! CRAP! That was the late bell!?! I ran yet again, momentarily forgetting the odd cat I had just rescued.

"Come on Darien, I'm sure your mom won't take it too bad..." My best friend, Molly Osaka, was saying to me. Molly, Melvin and I were walking down the sidewalk at a slow pace talking about my horrible grade. I looked up at her, she was my age, she had light skin, light brown hair and caring brown eyes. I turned my head to my other friend, Melvin Umino. (AN: HEY?!... I couldn't think of his last name in either the Manga or the Anime so I used his Japanese name as his last name...) Melvin was about thirteen years old, he was a bit shorter than Molly, paler too; he had dark brown hair and big coke-bottle sized glasses covering his green eyes. Rumor was that Melvin was so smart that he skipped a couple grades.
"Don't even start Melvin...I don't want to hear it," I looked glumly down at the paper that I clutched tightly with both of my hands and frowned. At the top of the paper, the word TEST was written in all capitals. To the right of the heading was a 30% written boldly, in all capitals and it was underlined and circled three times. to make things worse I got detention for tomorrow for being late this morning.
"C'mon Darien, I can help you study so you can take a make up or something..." He offered as he shoved his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. I shook my head and opened my mouth about to say something but Molly intervened.
"MELVIN! I don't think now is the right time for studying, Darien needs a distraction to think of something so he can show his mom that grade without being pulverised," Molly was facing Melvin directly with a frown on her face and her hands on her hips in an angry manner, Melvin stared at her adoringly. It was obvious that Melvin had a thing for Molly, the whole school knew, except her. She turned to me again. "How about we go to my mom's jewelery shop Darien?"
" Molly, no offense, but I don't LIKE shopping OR jewelery... but I'll walk with you there while I think of a way to tell my mom 'bout this..." I said. The last thing I need is for her to go all ballistec on me and make me face her wrath...Mom's can get VERY, very scary when angry.
"Guys..." Melvin started figeting suddenly.
"Let me guess, you have to study," both Molly and I said in unison. Melvin nodded and scampered down the street in the opposite direction and Molly shook her head.
"I need some friends that are GIRLS!" she shook her head again. "I can't talk about girl stuff to you guys..." I laughed. We came upon a large three story building which was both Molly's mom's store and Molly's house. On the ground floor there were large windows which had spray painted words which read: Osaka's Jewelery. Inside the winows there were large, glittering diamonds, rubies and other jewels on display. But something curious was going on inside, the place was crowded with women, young and old squabbling over jewels.
" EVERYTHING IS 90% OFF!" I heard Molly's mother yell above the noise. Both Molly and I exchange confused glances. Molly grabbed my arm and dragged me over to her mother.
"Mom what's going on?" I heard her ask. Her mom turned to her...
What is this feeling? This weird feeling...like something's just not right, an uneasy feeling rose in my chest when she turned I don't know why either..... Shaking my head I dismissed the thought. Molly's mom smiled.
"Honey, I'm having a sale," she looked over to me. "Would you like to try some necklaces, bracelets or anklets?" NO WAY, NO HOW!
"Um....no, thanks anyways," turning to Molly I waved and ran for the door. Once I got outside I looked back down at my paper and sighed again. "I can't show my mom THIS!" On an impuse of desperation I crumpled the paper up and tossed it over my shoulder.
"HEY! Watch it!" An annoyed feminine voice yelled. I turned opened my mouth to apologized but when I turned the apology died. Standing straight ahead of me was a girl who was a little shorter than me, she had long golden-blonde hair which was tied behind her back in a rat-tail hairstyle. Her skin was pale- it wasn't a sickly pale, it gave her an ethereal look, she had dark sunglasses over her eyes and in her hand she had my crumpled up test. Uncrumpling it she glanced down. "A THIRTY?! Are you stupid? Or just incredibly lazy?"
"Give me that you jerk!" I growled, snatching back my test paper. With that I turned on heel and stomped off; stopping only once to look back and saw her still standing there staring expressionlessly back. What a strange girl...
