Sarah had went down to the school and had me put in. I woke up an hour early on my first day so I had more time to get ready. Sarah had takin me shopping two days ago before signing me up for school. I went over to the closet and took out a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. I then went downstairs and made myself some pancakes. When Sarah came down she looked shocked to see me up so early "Hotaru the school bus doesn't come for another hour and a half" I smiled at her and finished eating the pancakes I had made "I know" I went over to the sink and washed my dish "Is there anything you want me to do Sarah?" Sarah smiled sweetly at me "Do you know how to milk cows?" I thought for a moment "No" Sarah went over to the back door and opened it "Well then i'll teach you how to then" I smiled brightly and followed her out to the barn. Sarah took a bucket and showed me how to milk a cow. She then got up and let me do it. When the bucket was filt up Sarah picked it up and we both went back into the house. An hour later Josh and Terenz woke up ate and Josh ran upstairs to get ready for school while I helped Sarah with the dishes. When Josh was done getting ready for school he and I headed to the bus stop which was a got mile walk from where he lived. The bus picked us up and I sat with Josh feeling nervous. I wasn't used to being around kids much. Setsuna had homeschooled me not wanting anything to happen to me. Rini had been my only friend and the only kid I had known after I had been reborn. My memories of before I was reborn and before I was Mistress Nine where hard to remeber. When we got to school I went to the office and shyly asked one of the ladys for a scedual. The lady smiled at me and handed me a peice of paper with my teachers name on it "There you go sweetie" the lady said to me and I gave her a whispered thank you before leaving the office and heading to the room my teacher was in. I knocked on the door and the teacher opened it "You must be Hotaru Tomoe im your teacher Miss Tuff" I nodded and she lead me into the class room. The teacher had shoulder lengh honey blond hair and green eyes 'She reminds me of Lita' I though sadly. I looked at all the students that were going to be my class mates for the rest of the school year "Class we have a new student her names Hotaru Tomoe and I want you all to give her a happy welcome" all the students said hello and the teacher pointed to a seat hind a boy with jet black hair that had on thick glasses "Hotaru you can sit back there behind Jay" I nodded and walked over to my seat and sat down "Where do you come from Hotaru?" A who was sitting in the front row with chestnut colored hair and hazel eyes asked me "Im from Japan" I told her and all the students gasped. The teacher looked shocked "Hotaru how come your in South Carolina?" the teacher asked "Because my parents past away and I only had family here left" I knew I was lieing but I couldn't tell the truth "Im so sorry to hear that Hotaru" the teacher said with a look up sadness. A girl with long raven black hair raised her hand and the teacher nodded her head to the girl "Miss Tuff isn't Japan in another country?" the teacher looked at the girl "Yup it is Tina". The teacher then got started with the lesson for the day. When lunch time came I sat with Josh and his friends sence I hadn't made any yet "Kevin,Lilly,Aska,Rich,Rob,Matt this is my cousin Hotaru Tomoe" Lilly and Aska nodded and smiled at my while Rob,Matt,Kevin, and Rich shook my hand. A real cute guy with blue-black hair and aqua colored eyes passed by our table. My cheeks heated up and Lilly and Aska giggled "Taken a fancy to Jake Brown?" Aska asked me and I nodded while trying to hide my now red face "Almost every girl in the school likes him" Lilly said. I finished my lunch and sence I still had 15 minutes left of lunch I got a permission from one of the teachers and went outside. I walked over to a tree before I senced something was wrong. I looked around and I saw something in the bushes. My eyes widen as I saw a huge bear come running out of the bushes and at me 'Oh no!' I yelled in my mind and ran for the school building 'I must have the worst luck' I opened the doors to the lunch room quickly catching everyones attenion. I looked back only to see the bear change into a tiger and come smash throw the glass 'None of the villians i've faced with the scouts had shapeshifters!' I yelled in my mind. The kids started screaming and running out of the lunch room with the teachers close behind. I went threw my pockets looking for my transforming pen 'I left it at the house' I ran for the doors out of the lunch room with the tiger close behind me. I saw Josh and caught up with "It isn't a normal tiger Josh" I whispered to him giving him a warning. I lead the tiger into an empty classroom. It pounced on me knocking me to the floor. The tiger was ontop of me now and I looked right into it's eyes 'Need a plan Need a plan!' my mind screamed. The tigers claws dug into my shoulders and I knew that I needed help badly.If I didn't get some kind of help soon i'd be killed..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- Is this the end for Hotaru or will she be saved?
