Authors not:: Okay FYI I was writing the rough up of this chapter during my lunch at school, so there are a few odd things in here. Such as the song's you'll read, I don't know the name of the first one really because I HATE rap & hip-hop. But the other's are by The Bloodhound Gang—yes I know I use them a lot, but I like them—and a few from Rob Zombie. Enjoy!

Flame of the Guardians Soul
Chapter Eight
Lunch Time!

Art class was now over for the day, now it was time for step two. "Aira?" Ranka asked before Aira was able to leave the classroom.

"Yeah Ranka?" She replied turning to face her.

"Um, I was wondering if I could join you for lunch?" Ranka asked with a deep sense of hope.

Aira shrugged, "Sure, but I warn you my group may scare you."

"I doubt that," Ranka replied as she followed Aira to the lunchroom. The whole time Ranka followed her he kept feeling like she was following a tiger to it's den. It was a strange feeling that she had never gotten from Miyu before. She was interested to see what Aira would be able to do once the vampiric blood awoke in her veins. But how long would that be? Glacier had not told them and no trace of vampire lingered around Aira at this time and she was nearly an adult. Where awakenings different in America?

They entered the incredibly crowed lunchroom and a girl with brown hair called from a table, "Sissy!"

"What?!" Aira asked with a slight annoyance in her voice. Ranka followed her to the table; she then recognized a few of the people from the ritual last night.

"Rachel and I have a bet," the girl began, "A Were Wolf and a Lyken are two completely different creatures, aren't they?" A smirk grew across the girls face.

Aira raised an eyebrow, "They are the same thing," when the girl looked surprised Aira continued, "Jessie you saw Underworld you idiot! A Lyken is a breed of were wolf, just one with hardly any fur."

"What?" Jessie replied. Apparently she did not want to be corrected on a topic she believed to know best. "But… but."

"But what?" Rachel asked, looking at Jessie with a large smirk of amusement on her face.

"Oh come one Jessie," a girl with very short back hair began, "It's not like you've never done this before."

"Oh shut up Ally!" Jessie spat.

Aira giggled and then, "Everyone, this is Ranka, she will be our new person at the table of doom!"

Ranka blinked, "Um hello."

"Ranka, this is Jessie, Rachel, Ally, guy-Kelly, girl-Kelli ((MiyuT yes I do have friends like that)), Brandon, Tawny, Steff, Ellse, Tony, and Robyn," Aira finished.

The other members must go to different schools, Ranka thought, "It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Then an odd voice to their right sang, "From the windows! To the walls!" Ranka looked to see a boy with short dirty blond hair in a Silence of the Lamb shirt, who had song it, then the one name Tony chough on.

"To the sweat drop down my balls! All these bitches crawl!" BAM!

Ellse had just hit Tony on the head, "You need to stop doing that!"

"Oh yeah, that's Allen," Aira said as she shook her head, "Tony you and Allen need to do that for the Talent Show, it will be just as great as the whole 'you can kiss my big fat hairy ass' thing last year." The whole table roared in laughter.

"Oh god!" Rachel said, "I will never forget that!"

"We owe so much of that day to Ein!" Kelly said, "I can't believe that only gave him OSS for showing his ass-crack to the whole Student Body and then some."

"Yeah but the bastard got us all in Mr. Yuri's office for suspicion," Tawny stated.

Ranka had a very confused look on her face, "What exactly happened?"

"Our friend Ein got into the Senior Talent Show last year by originally singing Men in Black, but when he got on stage," Brandon paused for a chuckle, "He began to sing 'you can kiss my ass! My big fat hairy ass!' then he mooned the whole school."

"Oh… my," Ranka covered her mouth with a slight giggle. That would have been so funny no matter who you are.

"Yes it was great, it was the talk of the school for about a month and a half." Aira stated with a smirk on her face.

"Hey sissy," Rachel said.

"Yeah?" Aira replied.

"Guess what's stuck in my head?"

"Uh oh…what?"

Rachel smirked, "The one part the Fuehrer the one part the Pope…"

"It's the inevitable return baby of the Great White Dope!" Aira finished.

"God!" Jessie roared, "That song is so annoying!"

Aira smirked, "I hope ya flip some guy the bird, he cuts you off and you're forced to swerve, in front of the Beatles' tour bus."

Then they all began to sing, save for Ranka, "A Bookmobile and a Mack truck, hauling hazardous biological waste! The light turns red you have no brakes! And "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape so you can see the look on your face!" But most of the girls just couldn't stop laughing so the song had to end.

It was then that the bell rang to go to class.

"Aira?" Ranka began.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Do you think you could give me a ride home?"

"Sure, I can do that."

Ranka smiled, "Thank you."

Aira smiled back, a smile that Miyu always gave, "No problem."

"You think you can survive Sissy's driving?" Tony asked as he left the cafeteria for the hallway.

Aira twitched and grabbed his backpack and yanked him backswords, "Just what in the seven layers of fuckin' hell does THAT mean?"

"I love you Sissy," Tony said in a pleading tone.

"Uh huh, sure," Aira said before letting go.

History class wasn't anything special to Ranka. The teacher Mrs. Hollenger was pretty funny, she wouldn't let anyone in her class say the words sucks, pissed, shut up, or any swear words. If you where caught she made you give her ten push-ups. Seven different people had to do that threw the cores of the class. They had to take notes while watching a movie about the American Revolution. Ranka already knew a few things on that topic so that was a breeze for her. When she glanced over to Aira she found that she was drawing a picture of what Ranka guessed to be a were wolf of sorts.

Then came Ceramics class but when they entered the class Aira rolled her eyes and walked back out, Ranka followed her, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Our teacher isn't here and my project is done, I'm ditchin' today. Wanna come?" Aira said simply as she made her way to the doors of the outside.

I must keep an eye on her, "Sure, why not?" She answered, "But where would we go?"

"To West High," Aira began as her and Ranka slipped out the front door and began to walk to the parking lot.

Sen-Jui is there, "But why and where is that?" She asked, as she followed Aira to a Yellow Bug (car).

"Gina is there, she usually ditches during lunch when her P.E class is next," Airs said as she unlocked the car, "She'll be out by the football field with Vans and Kaity."

"Oh," Ranka opened the door and got in the car, which smelled richly of Dragon's Blood. "Won't we get caught?"

"No," Aira replied as she started the car, "If we do then just say that we're from out of town." She backed the car up and drove out of the parking lot. "Besides, Samhain is only 45 days away. Gina and I need to plan out our Ritual's and stuff."

"Samhain?" Ranka asked.

"Halloween," she said turning the car to the right and driving down Beat digger Blv.

"Oh, you must be a Wiccan I guess?"

Aira nodded, "Yes I am." She reached for her radio when they reached a red light. "Oh, you don't mind if I turn the radio on, do you?"

"No go ahead," Ranka replied.

"Thanks, hope you don't mind Rob Zombie." The radio started to play some very heavy music.

"Who?" Ranka asked.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're not from here. Oops."

Dead I am the one, exterminating son. Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze. Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry, As they slowly turn, conquering the worm.

They drove down Main Street, Ranka was telling Aira about Japan and what it was like there. And Airs was asking so many questions about the mythology. Ranka began to wonder if Shiina had seen right, was this girl truly Miyu's incarnate? Why would Miyu want to be like this?

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Soon they turned onto 9000th South and soon they where on the freeway. Making their way downtown.

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool. Weak and want you need, nowhere as you bleed. Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat. Tender is the fur, dying as you purr.

They drove almost 70 miles on the freeway as they made their way past 7200 south and past over what was tilted belt rout.

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!

A thought crept into Ranka's mind. What if Miyu no Aira did not have the blood of a Guardian in her veins? What if this time around she would be human and live her life out with other humans? And why? Because Miyu hated being a vampire, a voice in the back of Ranka's head told her.

Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby! Burn like an animal! Dead I am the life, dig into the skin! Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win! Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry! Devil on your back, I can never die!

They past 5400th South and an animal shelter that was showing pictures of all their animals' people could buy on a screen. Not far from a Zims Craft store.

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!

A few moments later they where off the freeway and downtown. They drove past several hotels and many people. Aira turned left and drove down State Street about five blocks before they past the two malls that had been built across the street from each other.

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby! Burn like an animal!

They turned right when they came to Temple Square and drove for another five blocks before Aira turned right again until they came to 300 West and Ranka set her eyes upon West High.

Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby! Burn like an animal!

Miyu Tiggress Speaks:: gee that only took me a whole week to right. Anyways, I need help with my next chapter. I cannot decide if Aira and Gina should meet Larva and Nagi at one of the malls or if they meet at a concert Aira will be performing in. No I cannot tell you what type of concert other than it's a dance concert. Why? It will give some stuff away about her.
