Catse2000: Well, here's the new story from me and Kojika85. I hope you like it. If you haven't already guessed form the summary and the name, this was derived from playing the PS2 game Kingdom Hearts. We got to thinking it would be cool if we made an anime version with us in it, so this is what happened. We also changed our personalities and positions in the story, so this isn't the real us...(don't get to thinking it is)...Just who we thought would work well with the story. Enjoy...

Disclaimer: Well...there isn't really anything here to disclaim yet, but there will be. For the moment, I can only say that the idea for the story belongs to Kingdom Hearts...but the anime version doesn't. .; lol.

Catse was in a bad mood.
The sun was shining...
The birds were chirping...
The day was beautiful...
She hated every moment of it...
The teachers had called her home again; telling her parents that she hadn't attended classes.
'Stupid teachers...stupid parents...stupid birds singing...stupid day...'
Things weren't going well.
Her parents had of course gotten into an uproar of how school was important and she needed to be smart and educated to live in the real world.
A whole bunch of nagging is what it was.
That was it...
Nagging...
Oh how she despised it...
[Flashback]
"You must go to school dear. It's good for you. You'll be smart and pretty and every man will want to date you and-"
"Oh shut up mom...I hate school..." She had replied, crossing her arms in agitation as she sat on the couch, trying to watch TV.
"Then quit and get a job!" Her father replied, slamming his hand on the kitchen table.
"Now dear...that isn't right. She needs school-" Her mother had tried to argue.
"If she has that much trouble then she can just quit! S'bout time she got to paying her keep here! She already doesn't do anything to begin with!"
"But-"
"I'm not quitting school." Catse interrupted, glaring at her father.
"Why?! You don't even go to it!" Her father argued.
"Well it's better than staying here and listen to you tell me how to live my life!" She screamed, picking up her sling bag and slamming the door to the outside world behind her.
[End Flashback]
She hadn't returned that entire night, just walking around the streets until school started the next morning.
Sure she was tired...and that factor added onto her grumpy mood.
'Stupid parents...telling me how to do everything...If they want me to work so much then they should have never let me come to school...'
It wasn't that she hated school...
It could actually be sort of nice...only every once in a while.
It was most of her classes that she hated.
She was confused in Algebra, lost in History, left behind in Biology, and she had no idea what to do in English I.
Her only good courses were Art, Gym, and Web mastery.
Web mastery simply because she had learned some neat hacking techniques from an old friend, and just loved to hack into the teacher's personal files when she wasn't looking.
The funniest part was that the teacher didn't even know it was she doing it.
She would look agitated, slam the mouse on the desk, and then not answer when the students asked her what the matter was.
Yeah...Catse loved Web mastery...
The bell rang as she came close to her destination, her thoughts swarming over the ritualistic argument with her parents, and her sleepless night.
The school bell tore her from her brooding as it signaled the beginning of classes.
'Oh well...Gym's the first class...maybe that'll cool me off...'
She stepped into the school; her hands stuffed in her pockets and her back hunched in a truly agitated mood.
############
Koji took her usual seat in US History, reading the newest book from Ann Rice as she waited for the teacher to come to the front of the class.
It most certainly was a beautiful day, with the birds singing and the sky a beautiful blue.
What a day to have a quiz.
Of course she was ready for it.
She was always ready...
She couldn't help but smile, as she looked over the class...some pale with worry...others indifferent of whether they would pass or not...
Then there were the nerds...those that studied and studied until their eyes bulged and they knew how to say, spell, and write the information forwards and backwards.
They were the ones she enjoyed competing against to most.
Although she wasn't popular with the students in anything but class grades, she still liked the competition.
She wasn't the one the teacher's usually called up to the front of the class to answer questions or to read either...they were intimidated by her on some level.
Koji just sat in her cozy little corner by the window, reading books and passing classes...with out even a single glance from the teachers.
How she enjoyed school!
Finally, the teacher walked in and the students seated themselves, some sweating from fear of the quiz.
She greeted them warmly, as she did every day, and the bell rang to announce that classes had begun.
Quizzes were passed out, pencils appeared, and the day started.
Ten questions, all about Pearl Harbor, the Day of Infamy.
Rather easy...
Of course, Koji was an expert on History...
It came with watching the History Channel.
The quizzes were passed in and the teacher resumed yesterday's lesson on World War II.
Koji reopened her book and continued reading, nearly finished with the book already.
She didn't need to pay attention to this portion of the class.
WWII was her area of expertise.
She only looked up when a slip of paper floated into the crease between pages.
'That's odd...Who would send me a note?'
She picked it up and read it, shaking her head with a sigh.
Koji,
How wood u lyke to go owt nxt Satrday? Ill pik u up.
Luv,
Hakuchi
Hakuchi.
What was there to say about him?
She re-read it, shaking her head with a sigh.
He was a low down idiot with the single hope of tricking a girl into helping him pass a test or two.
It was the common trick, trying to get them to become putty in his hands and give him the answers to a test, then he would drop them like they were nothing and head onto the next.
Koji guessed she was his latest target.
She smiled and looked over at him.
He was a slick guy, with black hair gelled back until it resembled a helmet on his head, and the slight appearance of a mustache over his mouth.
He always wore muscle shirts, probably to make him think he was cool, and he usually looked like a mobster or a gang leader.
All in all...a very annoying classmate.
He was staring back, wagging his eyebrows as if they made him look more appealing than he already thought he was.
Koji smiled gently when he grinned, and turned back to the paper he sent him, scribbling a little message on the paper.
Hakuchi,
Learn how to spell loser, and get a life.
Koji
Then, smiling as if she was trying to be seductive, she folded the paper and had another classmate pass it along, keeping a sweet smile the entire time.
He thought he had won, and opened the paper with a grin and another wag of the eyebrows in her direction.
His face was rather funny to watch, and Koji couldn't help but glance there every few minutes, as she tried to read.
First glee...then confusion...then agitation...then anger...
And the paper was crumpled up and tossed in the wastebasket.
'Hehehe...loser.'
She read the book for the entire period, until the bell signaled the next class.
As she stood, she noticed Hakuchi waiting next to the door.
'Oh goody...idiot wants to be insulted again...' She thought sarcastically.
Koji sighed as she stepped out the door...
Yep...she was dealing with an imbecile.
############
Gym had been a load off of her mind...
Catse sighed as she stepped out of the changing room, fully clothed.
They had played Dodge ball, and she had had the pleasure of nearly knocking one of the students unconscious.
Too bad the coach was sending a letter home about it...and she was getting detention.
To hell if she was going to detention!
They had tried in the past but they had failed.
Catse never attended detention!
And most likely never would!
She probably had at least fifty detentions on record for this year; not a single one had she gone to.
Another sigh and she was in the cluttered hallway of students trying to get to their lockers.
'Great...The stampede.'
She put on her most agitated/angry face and stepped towards the crowd, her head held high.
Catse knew most of the students there feared her, and she made sure they kept the fear up.
She liked the respect it brought.
As soon as the students saw her coming, they moved out of her way, giving her free room to walk so as to not get in her way.
Although she kept the mad look up, she was smiling in her thoughts.
'Nothing but a herd...and I'm the shepherd.'
Catse got to her locker and got her books alright, but was surprised when she turned around to see one of the smartest girls at school being bullied by one of the dumbest guys there.
She had dealt with Hakuchi before...that brainless dolt.
He should have been born as one of those ditzy blonds, because that's how he acted.
Not to say that all blonds are ditzy, just some...too bad he had black hair.
He fit the part well enough.
Catse stood still a moment, watching the punk try to convince the girl he had trapped near the door to do something for him.
The girl had long silky black hair running loosely down her back, the kind that flows like water when run across the fingers, and her eyes were a bluish color...at least from what she could see in her position near the lockers.
Her outfit was simple...a pair of black jeans and a simple black sweater.
She recognized the girl...Koji something, but she couldn't remember her last name.
Didn't matter really...she only needed the first name.
Koji was known to be one of the schools smartest...but usually she scared the teachers a little with her quiet ways...and her piercing look.
Hakuchi continued to hold her off, both arms at the sides of her head. One would expect a girl in that predicament to look frightened, but the one he kept cornered looked quite calm...almost agitated.
'Yep, he was trying to get her to cheat on a test with him...foolish punk.'
Well then, Catse figured it was about time she put Hakuchi in his place.
A good bullying of a bigger guy would do her good...just as much as disabling a classmate in Dodge ball had.
A lot of good...
With one last smirk, Catse walked up to the two and poked the bully on the shoulder.
############
Koji was becoming quit angry now.
Hakuchi had refused to let her continue to her next class unless she promised to go out on a date with him.
'The hell! Some guy thinks he can tell me what to do! Not happening!'
Although she had never been late to a class, and didn't want to start, she was determined not to let this punk get what he wanted, even if it meant her tardiness.
Again she sighed and glared at the man hovering over her, trying to seem as superior as possible with stature and little else.
"Let me go now lest I must knock you off." She replied dryly, clutching her books closer to her side.
If she had too, she would smack him good across the face with her Literature book, and run to the next class with a few minutes to spare.
She could already see the students thinning out.
"Ooh...That vocabulary...so poetic." He replied, breathing hot air on her face.
'Ack...He needs a breath mint...bad...'
"So what do you say babe? A date?"
"I've told you already. No!"
Koji only just noticed the newcomer that came up behind her captor.
She recognized the girl as the school bully, Catse.
There was usually a lot of talk about her...and yet she was rarely ever at school.
[Flashback]
"They say she beats up the big guys and makes them her slaves, and if you do anything cross by her, she'll send all the toughest guys in school after you!" One of the rumors said. 'Please...she didn't look that dangerous.'
[End Flashback]
Her dark red hair was cut short, curving around her face in a rough boyish look, with piercing green eyes that spoke of experience when it came to fighting, and rough eye brows that made her look angry almost all the time.
Her apparel was simple...a pair of blue jeans with torn holes over the knees, and a Red T-shirt with the words "Don't mess with me...You may not go home in one piece."
Koji smiled.
Sounded like her kind of phrase...only a little milder perhaps.
"Yo, Hakuchi. What's happenin'?" She said, leaning on his shoulder as if they were buddies.
She smirked mischievously the entire time, giving off a certain aura that said the same thing as her shirt.
"Oh...you...N-N-Nothin' of your b-b-business...um...heh..."
"Right. Listen...Koji right?" Koji nodded.
So she knew her as well...
"How 'bout you get off to classes. I'm gonna talk with lug head here for a minute. D'you mind?"
Would she mind?
'Hell no! Thanks for coming! I'm outta here!'
"No. I don't mind. Goodbye...lug head." Koji returned with a smile, glad that she was saved at the last minute.
She'd be able to make it to class now!
Yes!
She only just heard the beginning of a rather mean conversation brewing up.
"So...Didn't I catch you doing this before..." and she was out of earshot.
Oh well...she would probably hear it from rumors later.
For now, Koji had to get to class.

Catse: There you go! What do you think? Please review! Kojika85 and me would really appreciate it!
