Chapter 1
Bevy looked out from beneath the branches on the sakura tree in her back yard. As Bera, Ato, Ryu and Kiyo came around the corner, she had to stiffen her giggles. She tried but it was too late. They had heard her and started to look around. She quickly sent a wave of wind in their direction and they flew backwards and into the street. Unfortunately, Bera recovered first. She marched straight back to the yard where Bevy was and saw her laughing in the tree. "Get your ass down here," Bera yelled. "I want to kick your ass before school starts!" In a swirl of wind, Bevy was gone from the tree. In another, she was standing right in front of Bera.
Kiyo, Ryu, and Ato came around the corner just as Bera was taking rapid swings at Bevy while bevy had a hand on Bera's head to keep her away. "Wow," Kiyo said. "Bera is really short. I thought I was the only one who could do that." At this, Bera rounded on Kiyo. As they bickered over Kiyo always picking on her, Ryu, Ato, and Bevy where wondering if they'd ever make it to school. When they finally stopped arguing, they all left for school. Kiyo and Bera weren't looking at each other and where talking to each other through the others. "Ryu," Kiyo said. "Could you tell Bera to pick up the pace? We would like to get to school before her teeth are straight." Next it was Bera's turn. "Ato, could you tell Kiyo that maybe I could walk up if his big fat ego wasn't blocking my way." When they got to school, they sat down in homeroom just as the bell rung. The details of their first class was a mystery because five minutes after their Defensive Education class began, they all fell asleep.
Fifth period, Kiyo decided to skip his Weapon training class to walk around the halls and look for Ryu's class, since that was his partner in crime. When he peaked around the third corner, Bera was right in his face. "What are you doing out here?" she asked. "What are YOU doing out here?" he asked. Neither had an answer for the other and they just stood there for a few seconds. Then, they heard someone scream and a teacher calming his class. In just seconds, a classroom door blasted off it's hinges, Bera felt a strong set of hands close around her, and a plethora of smoke and energy came rushing out of the doorway across from them. When the smoke cleared, Bera found herself inside a pulsating orb of neon blue electricity and in the arms of none other than Kiyo. When he let her go, the orb disappeared. Bera and Kiyo stood there for a few minutes, looking at each other, while panicked students and teachers milled around them. When one student came up to try to tell them that they were all going to die, Kiyo simply punched him in the face, without taking his eyes off of Bera. "Kiyo," Bera said. Then she snapped back to her old self. "If I need your help ever again, I'll ask for it. Until then, keep your hands, and your powers, off of me!" With that she walked away, through the chaos. Well, Kiyo thought. She IS weird. She needs to get her shit together. And he too walked away into the crowd of screaming students and panicked teachers.
They all met up at lunch at their usual table. Ten minutes into their meals, Bevy started going on about how Ikasha looked at her in Science. "So what is between you two lately?" Ato said. "Yeah," chimed Ryu. "You two have been flirting and talking to each other for at least four weeks." Bevy didn't answer right away. She played around with her sushi for a second, took a bite, and then looked toward the lunch line. Fortunately for her, she was saved the trouble of answering by a new arrival. Ikasha came and sat down across from her. "Hi guys," he said. He was greeted with nothing but what seemed like all-knowing "Yeah"s, and "hmmm" -s. Bevy attempted to kick them, but in her absent state of mind, she kicked a leg of the table. She let out a wail and grabbed her foot under the table. "Are you ok?" Ikasha asked her. "Yes," she said feebly. "Just a little surprised." When she pulled her hand from beneath the table, she hit it on one of the lower bars. Kiyo, Ryu, Ato, and Bera buried their faces in their hands.
Ikasha grabbed Bevy's hand and massaged where she hit it. The others where dumfounded. "Does that feel better?" Ikasha asked her. "Yeah… th-that feels great…" she said. While Ato and the rest ate lunch, Bevy and Ikasha were staring at each other and looking away smiling. It was making Kiyo sick. Finally, lunch was over and they got up. "I'll see you later" Ikasha said to Bevy. "Like wise" Bevy said. As Ikasha left, they stared after him, open-mouthed until he was gone. "Like wise?" Bera mimicked. "I'll see you later." Ryu mocked. "Gimme a break!" Bevy was starting to turn red. "You guys are jack-asses!" she yelled and stormed off out the lunchroom.
When Bevy got home, she shut the door behind her. Ryu, Ato, Bera, and Kiyo taunted her about what happened at lunch all the way home. When she looked around the house she saw a trail of rose pedals and cherry blossoms dancing in the air just above the floor. As she followed the line, it led her upstairs. When she reached her room, she opened the door to find thousands of roses all around her room, and in the middle, floating in mid air, was a card. She picked up the card and held it in front of her. It said, "Bevy, I secretly admire you. So I guess you have a secret admirer. Listen to the chimes…" When she lowered the card, she saw a beautiful, black and pink wind chime with a crystal Rose bud in the center. The sound it made when the wind hit it wasn't a normal chime. Instead, a little song played. It said, "Let me be the one you call. If you jump, I'll break your fall. Lift you up and fly away with you into the night. If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart. If you need to crash then crash and burn. Your not alone…" She made the wind blow every 30 seconds.
