A/N: Yeah, this is my sixth fanfic, or seventh. I know I shouldn't have started a new one, what with all the others I still have to finish, and rewrite… but inspiration struck, and I couldn't help myself… I know I'm evil.

Chapter 1: The New Girls

Chihiro, barely looked up from her desk. The teacher was saying something about some new exchange students, but Chihiro was tuning her out and looking at the landscape outside.

Of course the teacher noticed this and snapped, "Chihiro, thank you for volunteering to take our new students on a tour of the school!" (A/N: I don't know whether they do this in Japan, but they've done it at every school of mine, I'm almost always picked…)

Chihiro grumbled her acceptance as three girls around her own age entered the room.

"Now," Miss Fuyushima spoke. "This is Teran," she gestured to the girl with amazing red hair that fell in perfect layers to her shoulders, "Dia," she pointed to the girl with snapped brown eyes that were hidden behind some very stylish, modern glasses, "And Yuki," the final girl had long black hair that fell to midback.

Chihiro recongnized her cue, and stood up to join them muttering, "My name's Chihiro, I'll be escorting you around the school."

Once they left the room Teran spoke up, "Chihiro-san, I know you know our names, but I would like to introduce myself properly, I'm Teran Ashikawa."

Dia then added, "Dia Ashikawa, I'm Teran's older sister. And this is Yuki Shiratobi (A/N: I think that's Sasuke from Samurai Deeper Kyo's last name… OH WELL!)."

Yuki said nothing and only inclined her head. "You can just call me Chihiro."

"Well Chihiro," Teran pretended to adopt a more serious tone. "Could you take us to the bathrooms?"

"I thought I told you to go before we left!" Dia snapped.

Teran replied hotly, "But I'm a nervous person. I have to go badly!"

The argument continued as they walked down the hall, until finally, "Both of you shut up!"

It wasn't Chihiro, it was Yuki. Yuki who looked so timid now looked livid with annonyance. "I am sick of all of your constant bickering. If your parents knew that you argue such, why send you to the same Goddamned school?"

Dia poked her glasses further up her nose, "They sent us here for the same reason that you are here. Do not doubt our motives if you don't want us to doubt yours!"

Obviously, Yuki wasn't the most arguementative person, for she ignored Dia's comments and continued walking. Chihiro didn't get anything that they were saying. Dia had commented on 'the same reason that you are here', what did this all mean? None of it made any sense to Chihiro.

Dia seemed to be incredibly smart and had a fiery temper, and Teran obviously was sweet and a little childish with a hotter temper then her sister. Yuki acted like her namesake, cold. That word perfectly described her, she had hardly talked at all, something here didn't seem right.

"Chihiro," Teran brought her back to the present. They were now walking home from school and since Teran, Yuki, and Dia ahd been following her, they'd ended up in front of a large red brick tunnel. "Umm… did you mean to bring us here?"

"What?" Chihiro asked, she had been dazed, her feet bringing here of their own accord. "Oh no, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention." Something familiar about this place… something that wanted her to enter and something that wanted her to run away. "But this place… it…"

"…feels so familiar," Yuki finished for her. Indeed, something about this place sparked something withing Chihiro. She vaguely remembered something, a bathhouse… a spirit bathhouse.

"We shouldn't be here," Chihiro muttered, but Teran and Yuki were already halfway down the passageway, with Dia standing a quarter of the way in. "Guys, we really should leave!" Even as she said that, her legs moved forward, carrying her toward them.

Teran grabbed her wrist as they continued through the tunnel emerging in the bright sunlight on the other side. "It's an abandoned theme park," Dia spoke in a hushed whiper.

Suddenly Yuki seemed much more cheerful, her icy blue eyes now warm welcoming sapphires. She called out to them from where she stood by a stream, "Come on guys!"

"What's got into you Yuki?" Teran yelled, dragging Chihiro over by the arm. "You're different," she finished as she caught up, Dia linking her arm through Teran's.

"Doesn't this place just make you feel a little more alive?" Yuki asked energenically. Her smile warm and welcoming.

As the four friends wandered throughout the place, they came across a bathhouse as it grew steadily darker…

I know you guys are going to kill me for ending it there, but I wanted a cliffie, and I made one happen. This fanfic I'm planning to update whenever I feel like it, unless of course you guys like it…
