..Start Fic..
Beep! Beep! Beep! It was 5:30 in the morning, and the alarm clock was blaring. Suddenly, a large hammer was raised over the alarm clock, and then came crashing down, instantly smashing the device into pieces. "Ugh..." The lump under the blankets groaned. "God dammit...I hate school." The 'lump' sat up. It appeared to be a girl, around 5'3" in height. She looked to be about 17 years of age. She had long black hair, that reached her lower back, and unusual bright, red eyes. She also had a thick scar that went through her left eye, from previous fights.
She got up, and stumbled to her bathroom, dragging her blankets with her. When she entered the bathroom, she did her usual routine: brush her teeth, comb her hair, wash her face, etc... As soon as she finished her routine, she walked sleepily over to her dresser, and picked out her clothes, which consisted of baggy, black pants, a t-shirt that said, "Comfort the disturbed, Disturb the Comfortable" on it, with black fishnet armwarmers underneath. She put on her socks and black makeup.
She walked into the kitchen, only to be greeted by her mother and older brother. "Good morning, Sakura. I made your favorite, rice balls and sushi! You better eat quick, or you'll be tardy for your first day at school!" Sakura grunted, remembering that mysterious letter that had been sent to her by 'the school of the gifted.' (A/n: lame, I know, but...I couldn't think of anything else...)
..Flashback..
It had been a rainy, boring day. Sakura went outside to get the mail that had been waiting out there for several days in her mailbox. She had nothing to do, so why not check the mail? She looked through the stack of envelopes.
"Bill...bill...bill...bi...wait...what is this?" Sakura said as she threw all of the bills onto the table. She was holding up this light emerald tinted envelope, which was addressed to her. "I never get mail...I wonder who it's from..." She checked the upper left side of the envelope, and it read: Yoshiri's School of the Gifted. She had never heard of it, but decided to open it anyway.
Dear Sakura Sanosuke,
Congratulations! You have been accepted to Yoshiri's School of the Gifted! This is a special opportunity to master your skills and techniques, as well as learn new ones. Here, you will meet many new people, who have the same skills as you. School starts on August 16. You will ride the subway to Route 54 and then to Route 17. At 7:00 you will ride Subway #48 to your destination. You will need to pack all of your accessories, for you will be sleeping in dorms. Bring your clothing with you. Again, congratulations! We hope you'll have a wonderful time at Yoshiri's School of the Gifted.
Yours truly,
Rumiko Takahashi
School Principal
As soon as she read the letter, one thing crossed her mind. 'Wait a minute, there's no such thing as Subway #48! Is this some kind of sick joke? And I never filled an application to attend this wacko school!' Immediately, she crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it in her fireplace.
..End Flashback..
"Sakura! Sakura! Snap out of it!"
"Huh?" Sakura turned to see her mother flailing her arms in the air, trying to get her attention. "Thank goodness, we thought we lost you! What is it that made you so lost in thought?"
"Uh, nothing. Just thinking about that letter." The day after Sakura brunt the letter, a new one came in...except her mother got to it first. She kept the letter, for the important information, and she forced Sakura to go to it.
"So, do you have all of your stuff packed?" Her mother asked, with concern. She looked really serious, but yet sad at the same time.
"Yeah, I got it all. I can't believe I'm going to a school with dorms!" Sakura said, motioning her arms towards the big suitcase full of items such as her toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, acne cream, clips, papers, pencils, some books to read on the way, clothes, and most importantly, her plushie of a dog of some sort. It was her favorite. She never went on a trip without it. It was black, with floppy ears and dark brown eyes. It was about ten inches long, and eight inches tall.
"Well, Sakura, it's about time for you to leave now. C'mon, I'll drive you to the subway station," her mother said sadly. "You know that I don't want to leave you, but I have to. I can't believe that my little girl is growing up!" her mother exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, I know how you feel. But, I have to move on!" Sakura exclaimed happily. She never really liked her mother. In fact, she wasn't even her real mother. She was adopted. She never knew about her real parents. They died before she learned how to crawl.
Her mother drove her to the subway station. She got on the subway that took her down route 54, and luckily, it was still early in the morning, so there was still seats on the subway. It was a quiet ride. She got off at her stop and waited for her next subway that will take her on Route 17. The subway came. It was quite long and really loud. She covered her ears. After the subway blew the whistle thing, she boarded it. It was crowded, and she was shoved into a corner of the subway. Thank god she wasn't claustrophobic. Again, she got off the stop and waited for her last subway, which supposedly didn't exist.
She waited, and waited, and waited. She waited for about 30 minutes, until she heard these people talking. "The subway to Route 48 is over here! Hurry, or we'll be late!" 'Wait, Subway 48!' Sakura thought, as she followed the strange people. She finally reached her destination, which was in a mysterious place at the shadowed area in the subway station. There were only a few people there. Weird people.
Soon, she heard the subway whistle, and then the subway came into vision. It stopped and everybody boarded the train with their luggage. Sakura followed, dragging her luggage behind her.
As she boarded the train, she noticed that it was pretty crowded and packed. There was only one vacant seat left out of the whole subway, so she walked over to it. Unfortunately, it was next to a person that she didn't know. She couldn't see her face. "Hey, can I sit here?" she asked. The person looked up. It appeared to be a woman around her age. She had short black hair that reached her shoulders and had natural blue highlights in it. She had a medium skin tone and gray eyes that showed happiness, and confusion. What was weird about her, was that she had pointed ears, fangs, claws, and 2 dark blue stripes on each side of her head. She was wearing a miko's outfit, but the top part was a dark blue and the bottom was black
Finally, after several seconds, the woman finally spoke in an excited tone. "Sure! You can sit here! By the way, my name's Akiko! What's yours?"
"Errr...uh...my name's Sakura...er...nice to meet cha," Sakura stuttered. She had NEVER met a person this cheery and bubbly before. Usually people would stare at her and give her dirty looks, but not Akiko. She hadn't even known her for 1 minute, and she acted as though those two had been friends forever.
"Awesome! So...whatcha here for? I'm an inu demon! Yup! That's right!" Akiko exclaimed with a huge grin on her face. Sakura wondered if she was EVER mad, or even in a neutral mode.
"Ummm, I dunno. I just got this letter." Akiko frowned. 'Omg, she actually frowned!'
"You have no idea? No idea at all? Dang... Does that mean that you don't know how to use your powers? Well, then you're screwed. Good luck," Akiko said. 'Well, thanks for encouragement...' Sakura thought sarcastically.
"YAY! We're here!" Akiko screamed, recieving many stares from the other passengers on the subway. "Oops, sorry 'bout that!"
And indeed, they were at they're destination, their school. It was huge! It was a black castle that was surrounded by many acres of barren land. The clouds around it were grayish black, the symbol that a thunder storm was nearing. But there was this huge stadium to the left of the castle. It was tall, with a wall built around it, where the audience sat. Sakura suspected that that was where they would have tourniments.
The group of people entered the castle, and into this large looking room, where there were tons of mikos, demons, hanyous, monks, demon slayers, unnaturally powerful humans, and elementals sitting in the stands, obviously waiting for something, or someone. Noise filled the room, giving Sakura a headache. Akiko was clearly excited. She couldn't keep still for more than three seconds. She looked around the room, with excitement in her eyes and a large grin plastered on her face.
The people, or demons, that were on the subway sat in a part of the bleachers that was obviously saved for them to sit. Sakura sat with Akiko, sensing that she knew what was happening, and because she was the only person that she knew at the time.
All of a sudden, this old looking woman that looked to be around fifty years old came into the room. She had short black hair that reached her shoulders, and large glasses that covered her eyes. She wore black robes lined with gold. She looked like an important woman, to be wearing wearing robes like that, and to have several guards protecting her.
"Good morning students, and welcome to Yoshiri's School of the Gifted."
