The second she walked out the door Kay collided with someone. "That was graceful," she rolled her eyes, and looked up to see who had run into her. It was that guy from before: the girly looking one. "Oh, please forgive me, I wasn't looking where I was going," He said quickly, offering his hand to help her up. "Uh, yeah, don't worry about it," she said, realizing he was sorry, and took his hand. As soon as she was up he looked concerned. "Are you alright? Your hands are freezing!" She raised an eyebrow. Realizing he wasn't going to get an answer he said, " I was just in a hurry to make sure my friend Yusuke went to second period." Kay laughed, "Yeah, he seems like m- someone that would be like that." His intense emerald eyes bore into her and she felt very insecure, like he was studying her.
"Oh, how rude of me, my name is Shuiichi," He said with a small smile. "Kay." She nodded, covering more of her face with her hair.
Yusuke walked out of the room and stood next to Shuiichi. "Hey, Kay - I didn't know you knew Shuiichi." "Just met, now if you'll excuse me, I have a class to get to." She tried to make her way past Yusuke but he grabbed her arm, "Wait, maybe I'm in your class again." "Well if-" She was cut off by the most annoying voice she had ever heard; "Hey Urameshi! There's somethi- Wow who are you?" it said, making her cringe slightly. He was tall with an orange, Elvis wannabe hairstyle and rather unintelligent looking features. Kay stared up at him, trying desperately not to laugh at the ignorance radiating off of him. "This is Kay," Yusuke pointed out, putting the tall guy in a headlock. "AH! Urameshi I'm gonna pound you into the ground!" The grating voice called out desperately. Shuiichi sweat-dropped and said "This is our friend Kuwabara," Kay raised an eyebrow, "Right," Kuwabara somehow got out of the headlock and struck a pose, "Kazuma Kuwabara at your service! My strength cannot be rivaled!"
"Hn. That's quite a word for you, baka." A new voice said. "Hello Hiei," Shuiichi greeted the newcomer. Hiei, as Kay assumed, was about her height, gravity-defying black hair, a white bandana around his forehead, and red eyes. 'Wait, red eyes?' She blinked, 'Maybe they're contacts…' She secretly wished she had red eyes. Hiei looked as though he wanted to be anywhere but there, and wanted to kill Kuwabara even more so. Kay could hardly blame him.
Kay felt as though her mind was being read like an open book, 'What the-' She thought in a panic as she tried her hardest to put up a mind block. She felt safe again, 'Thank Goddess for meditation.' She glanced at Hiei, who was now glaring at her. 'That isn't entirely necessary,' She thought, she hadn't done anything to him, and glared back.
Kay walked into second period with Hiei and Shuiichi trailing behind her. At first she thought they were following her, then realized they were in her class. 'Duh,' she thought. She spotted her friend Melissa in the back 'Thank Goddess,' and moved to sit next to her. Shuiichi came up to the two of them "Do you mind if Hiei and I sit here?" He asked, motioning to the chairs on either side of them. Kay shrugged "Go right ahead."
As soon as the bell rang, Kay practically flew out the door. It was the first day back, and she had a feeling she was going to have to fight for her spot by the wall for lunch. She arrived in the Dogbowl only to see that her friends had gotten there first, and therefore had saved many a freshman from almost certain doom. Kay sighed and walked over to the soda machines to grab a cherry coke when she noticed a girl having trouble with the machines. "Oh no, please don't eat my money!" She said desperately. She had mint green hair and looked so innocent it wasn't even funny, and for some reason Kay felt compelled to help her. She walked over and hit the machine, causing the soda to fall out. The girl looked up at her with familiar looking red eyes, "Thank you," She said with a smile, "No prob." Kay replied as she realized that kid Hiei was watching them.
"I'm Yukina, what's your name?" The girl asked politely. "I'm Kay, nice to meet ya." She grinned. Kay suddenly shivered and realized she was having another 'cold spell'. Yukina looked concerned, "What's wrong?" "Nothing," She lied, "It happens when people stare at me!" She yelled that last part and looked over at Hiei, who glared in return and walked off. Yukina followed her line of sight and noticed him, "Oh that's Hiei, I wonder what he's doing here," She said thoughtfully, "I didn't think he went to school – here that is." She added quickly. Kay raised an eyebrow, "Uh huh," She said, not really convinced, but at the same time not really caring; she was beginning to shiver uncontrollably from the inherent lack of heat coming from her body. Forgetting about getting a soda, she said "Well I'm gonna go sit down, you're welcome to join me if you want," She said as nicely as she could, for some reason it seemed impossible to be mean to Yukina.
Yukina followed Kay over to "the wall" where she usually sat for lunch with her friends. After a quick introduction, Kay sat down and placed her hands on Melissa's neck. "Lissa, you're like solid fire." She stated as Melissa grinned slightly, "And you're made of ice, it works"
After a while she started feeling warmer, so she let go of Melissa's neck and saw Yukina's face; she looked curious, concerned, and puzzled at the same time. "Uh," Kay said, trying to make her seem like less of a freak, "…. I get cold." 'Oh that was brilliant.' She thought sarcastically. "I see," said Yukina in a small voice, "I know, I'm a freak." Kay said with a smile, "No, not at all," Yukina said quickly in a knowing way.
Melissa suddenly squeaked. Kay looked over, thinking someone had done something to her, "What?" "It's Youko!" Kay twitched, "You're kidding, right?" She asked angrily, "Why is everyone obsessed with him?" Melissa sighed, "He asked me to meet him tonight at Boston Coffee," She said dreamily. Yukina intervened, "I don't mean to sound rude," 'I doubt that's possible,' Kay thought, "But Youko… Well, he has what you'd call a one track mind…" She trailed off. "I don't care." Melissa said flatly. Kay sighed, "Well there you go." She was about to say something else, but she started shivering again.
Just then Youko walked up and started talking to Melissa, but Kay was too cold to care much. The only thing that really caught her eye was the fact that he was wearing those cat ears you buy at Hot Topic and a tail. Only his ears looked more fox-like than anything. The tail, on the other hand looked very soft and fluffy; very realistic. It even swished back and forth as he talked to Melissa. Kay couldn't help it; she reached out a hand and touched it. Soft. Almost too soft. Youko hadn't noticed her fascination with his tail until she reached out again and yanked it; "OW! Son-of-a—" He recovered quickly and smiled. Kay looked shocked "That thing is real?" She blinked a few times. Youko stared at her for a minute, obviously trying not to snap, then suddenly looked concerned, "Are you okay?" He asked, "You…Look cold. And your lips are turning blue." 'Wow,' Kay thought, 'he DOES have pretty eyes. Stop that.' She scolded herself, "Fine." She said flatly and got up, "Guys, I'll be back in a few minutes, I need to go sit in the sun or something…" She trailed off as she walked towards the sun.
Kay walked around in the sun before heading over to the IB table. She was about 10 feet away when Yusuke came up to her, "Yo Kay, wanna come sit with me and the gu-Whoa! Your lips are blue, are you okay?" "Peachy," she lied, "I'm just a little cold, that's all." Shuiichi walked up and whispered something to Yusuke, he nodded and said "Yeah I know." He said quietly. This amused Kay, she didn't think Yusuke was capable of being quiet. "So Kay, want to come over after school?" "Can't, sorry." "Aw, come on, it'll be fun. We can take turns beating up Kuwabara." She smirked at this. "As much fun as that would be, I'll have to take a rain check." Kuwabara came running up, "No really, come on." She rolled her eyes, took out a piece of notebook paper and a pen, quickly scribbled something down and handed him the note. Walking away, she waved and said; "I don't like to repeat myself."
The boys opened the note to read "Rule #1: Never follow strangers home." Yusuke started laughing, Kuwabara just had a stupid grin on his face, and Shuiichi, just smiled and walked away.
Kay walked into third period; English II Pre-IB. She took a seat in the back and only then noticed the teacher was watching her. She blinked a few times, he did too. 'Uh,' She thought, 'That's kind of unnerving.' The teacher looked like he was on the brink of insanity. 'Nice,' She thought, 'this is going to be an interesting class.' Yusuke walked in just then, noticed the teacher, and froze. Kay closed her eyes and tried to focus on Yusuke. Adrenaline was pumping. He was both scared and furious at the same time. She could only pinpoint those two things though, because they were the strongest emotions in the room. 'Interesting,' She thought as she opened her eyes and watched Yusuke back down and take a seat. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Urameshi," the teacher drawled. Kay noticed Yusuke's fists were clenched as he took a seat beside her, "Friend of yours?" She asked with a smirk.
"Hardly." He replied. The teacher walked to the front of the room, introduced himself as Mr. Karasu, and with knife-like fingers, brought down the overhead screen.
Just then, Larry walked in. 'Oh, great.' Kay thought. Larry apologized to Mr. Karasu for being late, and quickly took a seat in front of her. He turned around and smiled evilly at her. She didn't appreciate this, so she bit the air, never breaking eye contact with him. She smirked as he instinctively grabbed the arm she had bit earlier.
Mr. Karasu looked at her, "Now, now, no threatening unless you plan to go through with it, and of course," he added with a smile, revealing sharp teeth, "Let me play too." Kay's eyes widened as she realized he was serious. 'Whoa,' She thought. Yusuke just continued glaring at Mr. Karasu.
Near the end of class, Kay had learned how to successfully annotate a suicide note without taking sides. 'Wow, this guy rocks.' She thought as she looked up to see Larry sleeping on his desk. Unfortunately, Mr. Karasu noticed as well; he stared at Larry and tilted his head slightly, playing with his razor sharp nails before slowly walking over to where they were. Kay panicked slightly - not that she really cared if Larry died, but if anyone was going to kill him, it was going to be her. She decided to just wake him up with an unpleasant start; she reached over to his neck and grabbed it with her icy hands and smirked as he yelped in pain – a small price to pay for living.
She leaned forward and whispered to Larry, "Maybe you should have picked a better seat." He narrowed his eyes at her, "You wish. I'm gonna have fun this semester." He said with a grin. Kay hissed slightly at him.
Walking into her fourth and final class of the day, Kay breathed a sigh of relief: Economics with Mr. Guy. She had heard good things about this guy – kind of. Good being that he didn't care what you did in his class, the 'kind of' being that he liked to hit on the female students. 'Well, at least I'll get a good grade in this class," she thought with a smirk.
Taking a seat near the door, she sighed and looked around, noticing the teacher was watching her. 'Okay, that's creepy.' She thought, picking up her things and moving to the other side of the room. Kay watched as the room slowly filled with students, two being her good friends Guzzi and Melissa. Then there was Hiei. Hiei confused her; he seemed to hate her, and she seemed to have a serious distaste for him, but they always ended up sitting next to each other.
Sometime during the class Kay had fallen asleep during one of her "cold spells". She woke up thanks to Hiei, who had poked her, nicely enough, with the sharp end of a pencil. "Eek!" She yelped quietly, only to realize the pencil poke was the least of her worries; her hands were covered in shards of ice. 'What the hell?' She thought as she tried to shake the ice off. 'Damn, this is cold! I'm going to seriously injure whoever put ice on me…' Suddenly there was a new voice inside her head; You're such a baka. Caitlin froze. '…Wait, that was a guy. Since when are there guys in my head?' She ticked off her fingers as she counted the voices, 'Loon, Ana, Tala, Roe, I'm missing someone… Or maybe they just left.' Her eyes widened, 'Wait there's a new one? No, I don't need that…Well, maybe I'll get lucky and this one knows how to do math.'
The shards of ice were nearly gone, but they almost seemed to be forming on her hands, 'this can't be right…Am I hallucinating again? Oh my Goddess this is cold!' She tapped Lissa on the shoulder, getting her to turn around, and whispered, "Do you see ice? I see ice." Melissa was about to answer, but just then the bell rang, and she was drowned out by the stampede of students. Not wanting to waste any more time near Hiei, especially since he might've seen the entire incident, Kay grabbed Melissa and raced out the door. Oh, what an exciting first day back.
