A/N: Prologue Three, thus beginning the OC run… Join the dnangel rp forum board or I'll shoot you XD.
Disclaimers: Aside from many, many prologues, no, none of this belongs to me. Yukiru Sugisaki, Asuka Comics, and all other OCs belong to other people… so… uh… yeah. I don't own anything.

Prologue Three: Ichigo Tsuki/Shadow
"We're going now!"
"Hey, Ichigo, aren't you going to be late if you don't move now?"
The teen brushed her hair back slightly, frowning at the fact that it just kept getting in the way, before turning to the speaker; her cousin, Riku Harada. "Yeah, I'm going soon; you and Risa go on ahead. I'll be able to make it on time."
The short-haired twin frowned at this; obviously doubting it, "Well, okay then. We'll see you then." She turned to where the door was located, "Come on, Risa!"
"Mou… Riku, you're too loud."
"Come on, come on; we can't be late!"
"Alright already! Don't be so pushy!"
"You have no right to call me pushy! We're off!"
There was the dull thud sound as the door closed behind the two and Ichigo made another attempt to keep her hair out of the way from her eyes. Sadly, it didn't seem to help a lot and she was still stuck in the same predicament.
/You're fighting a losing battle there, you know./ the familiar voice informed her, as she tried again.
/The main idea is to keep trying, isn't it/ she snapped back in her mind, finally giving up and heading towards Risa's room. /She won't get mad if I borrow a few hair pins…/
Of course, the explosion of frills and pink and other accessories blew the teen off as soon as she had opened the door. It was something that no one could ever get used to; except maybe Risa herself, who had lived there her entire lifetime. After Dark's disappearance, she had gone through heartbreak, sulking, disbelief, the belief that Dark would come back and marry her, and then acceptance that he room needed redecorating.
Needless to say, both Riku and Ichigo agreed that the old room had been much better. Plain, simple and not an eyesore, that was true, but now… well, it was more like a place they would avoid as much as possible: if the younger twin wanted to speak to them, she'd have to go to their room, not the other way around.
Digging through the drawers, it wasn't hard to find what she wanted and Ichigo finally managed to keep her hair from getting in the way. Glancing briefly at her watch for the time, she freaked.
"I'm going to be late!"
Yelling a goodbye to the butler, she tore down the stairs and the door slammed faintly behind her. Okay, this wasn't going to be a good thing for her and the idea of running the entire way to school wasn't all that great either. Maybe she should have grabbed a bike when she'd had a chance… oh well, now wasn't the time be regretting being in a rush.
The dull sound of the bell ringing reached her ears some time later as he clutched at a stitch in her side and tried to regain her breathing patterns. Sadly, it didn't seem to work and she was forced to prop herself against the wall for a moment. Well, there were a certain number of rings before the actual lessons started, so…
Ding… dong…
Ding… dong…
Placing a hand over her heart for a moment, she began running again, hoping against everything that the teacher would be late.
Ding… dong…
Ding… dong…
She caught sight of her classroom and skidded in.
Ding… dong…
Just in time.
/Ow… I really have to stop doing that…/ she muttered, although mostly to herself.
/Hey, it's the Hiwatari boy./
/Eh?./ Ichigo glanced up and instantly locked on the blue-haired teen, who seemed to be reading a book but was in conversation with his best friend at the same time. At the rate her heart was going, it was hard to tell one thing from another and wrenched her gaze away from him. /Very funny, Shadow./
/I'm just telling you what you want… sort of…/ a soft chuckle.
/Very funny…/ she repeated heatedly, annoyed.
The teacher entered and told everyone to move to their designated seats, and it wasn't long before class began.

Hrm… I don't know if I actually got the characterization right at all… (sighs) Anyway, yeah, the first of many OCs being introduced so… bear with me.
Angel Born of Darkness: Yeah, I kinda forgot to change that (goes of and fixes it). Because when I started, there was no Satoshi… so it was hard to work out what to call him, so I just went with what I knew. So yeah. Satoshi being anything other than creepy is freaky XD
Hakudoshi-chan: lol, I updated :)
GreyGranian: Thanks ;)
Asukai Tenelle: Suspense… hrm… it's questionable if it's actually gonna happen XD that's just how the world works… in my mind :)
