Chapter 2
The Ice Maiden
Haruki got to class with 5 minutes to spare. only half of his classmates were already seated. The teacher was cleaning the green chalboard with a smelly white rag.
As Haruki sat down, someone he didn't recognize walked in and sat down next to him.
She was pretty and had blue hair that went to her shoulders. Her eyes were also blue, but a darker shade. She was about as tall as Haruki, maybe an inch or two shorter.
The girl looked at Haruki. She smiled.
"Hi. Im Hisano Kuwabara. Who are you?"
"Haruki Sabako. Where are from?"
"I live in the mountains about 5 miles away. My dad used to go to this school and decided I should go here too."
"Really? I live a few blocks away."
Just then the bell rang and everyone who hadn't already sat down. The teacher introduced Hisano to the class and they reviewed last weeks math test. Haruki had gotten an A; the only one in the class.
A group of boys were asking Hisano questions at lunch.
"Your last name's Kuwabara? Are you related to that psychic guy, Kazuma Kuwabara?"
"Yes. He's my father."
"So can you see the future and stuff?"
The group laughed and so did Hisano.
"You obviously don't know what REAL psychics are."
The group laughed, assuming she was kidding. Not one believed that real psychics existed. There were tons of phoneys though.
Hisano looked over at Haruki.
Reincarnation of a great psychic? Im not sensing any serious aura from him. He's really gonna take over for Yusuke?
Realizing Hisano was looking at him, Haruki quickly looked
away and returned to reading his book. The lesson
Hisano
has come to watch Haruki, and to prepare him for the surprise of his
life. How will he handle the truth?
