The persistent beeping beside her ear penetrated the deep layers of sleep. Alexion Descry fought the thick fog forcing her eyes closed, making her body heavy. Alarm spread. She felt as though she'd been drugged. Her gaze found the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was what was producing that beeping and for good reason.
7:05 in the morning. That was one hell of a wake up call. Today was her first day at her new high school and she was going to be late. She sat up slowly, feeling as if she were wading through mud. The beeping alarm was growing louder by the minute.
The sound echoed in her head as she slammed her hand down on the snooze button. She sighed throwing back the sheets, reluctantly climbing out into the cold room. Outside the sun shone brightly, cheerfully. She fully restrained herself from climbing back into bed and claiming she had the flu.
She shoved a hand through her hair as she pulled on her new school uniform. She'd already been by her new school and unlike the girls she'd seen, she preferred to not wear skirts. She'd marked down for a guys uniform and it was what she'd received.
She pulled on the white shirt of the uniform, leaving it open, revealing the black cap sleeved shirt underneath. Her entire life she'd been different, it was just who she was. She'd always been cautious, avoiding all contact, never touching another, never getting close and it had led to a lonely life.
As she pulled on her shoes she thought back to the events of that night or more like that morning. That stranger had been broadcasting so much pain, so much loneliness that it made her own pale in comparison.
She'd known when she touched his mind he had similar powers, and that his isolation far exceeded her own. She knew what isolation was. How it felt to be different. She had been unable to keep her mouth shut; she felt like she'd needed to help him, to talk to him.
Alex rubbed her temples in an attempt to relieve the dull headache. Pushing herself foreword she moved into the bathroom. She sighed picking up a hair band and quickly tying her hair up tightly and slipping on her shoes.
She cast a longing look at her bed and sighed picking up her house key , then going out the door. The door locked with a click and Alex took off running.
Daisuke sighed laying his head down on his desk. Dark had put him through the loop last night and had enjoyed toying around with the police before he'd finally returned home and let Daisuke sleep. He lifted his head, pieces of red hair falling over his eyes in random places.
He looked over at Satoshi sitting near the back of the room as always, but today he looked tired. The blue haired teen looked almost as tired as he felt. He stood, running a hand through his hair, walking over to join Satoshi.
"Rough night?" he asked curiously sitting down near the teen. Satoshi looked at him and smiled dryly.
"I think Krad had some night time activities while I was sleeping," he said dryly. "When I woke up the window was open and there was mud on the floor."
'I didn't know Krad swung like that,' Dark snickered at his own inside joke.
'Shut up Dark,' Daisuke scolded back giving Satoshi a sympathetic look. He truly felt sorry for his friend. He could at least have some control over his family curse.
'Not likely,' dark muttered in a snooty voice.
He ignored darks taunting and walked back up front as the teacher walked in. But that wasn't what quieted the class. It was the person following her.
"Class," the teacher said clearing her throat. "I'd like to introduce you to Alexion Descry. Ms. Descry just transferred here from America."
Guys in the back of the class let loose a few cheers. The last American transfer they'd had had been Mio and she'd knocked them all for a loop. But thankfully to some of the girls, this girl was a lot more conservative.
Dressed in a guys uniform and not an inch of makeup calmed their nerves about Alexion.
"Alexion, would you like to introduce yourself?" the teacher asked the teen. Alex gulped slightly and stepped forward.
"It's nice to meet you," she greeted shyly. "You can just call me Alex if you want…."
'Nice chest on that one..' Dark quipped slightly interested. 'Why don't you introduce yourself Daisuke?'
'NO!'
'Just a suggestion.'
"Alright Alex, you can sit back there by Satoshi," the teacher smiled. Alex nodded walking past Daisuke as she took the empty seat beside Satoshi who glanced over giving her a half interested glance. She stared at the floor folding her hands in her lap, glancing up to catch the few curious glances thrown by other students.
She offered the few girls small smiles, some which were returned and some who gave her a clear once over and sneered rolling their eyes. She looked at her desk, the oh-so familiar sting of rejection but them it seemed to fade a gentle stirring shoving the sensation away.
She didn't dare look up but she knew from the feel of it, it was her midnight visitor. Could he be one of her classmates? But almost as soon as it arrived it shut down, so suddenly it caused a sharp pain to strike in her head.
She whimpered holding touching her forehead with her hand.
"Ms. Descry? Are you alright?"
He head shot up, snapping her neck slightly. The teacher was staring at her with a look of worry and she could feel the eyes of her fellow classmates on her.
"Y...yes, mame," she said softly, feeling the heat creeping up into her face from her neck. The teacher nodded and the others turned back around as she went back to her lecture. She let out a relieved sigh, but she still couldn't shake the feeling someone was staring at her.
She glanced over and violet eyes met blue. Satoshi was staring at her intently as if trying to peel away layers to see what she truly was. It was unnerving and oddly entrancing, but that trance broke when Satoshi looked away.
She looked away, trying to keep her attention on the teachers lecture only to have her mind wandering back to her midnight visitor.
'Daisuke…' Dark said lowly, stirring. 'Do you feel that?'
'Feel what?' he asked, staring out the window, unable to pay attention to the teachers droning.
Dark stirred impatiently, restlessly as if it was impossible to keep still.
'It's close by…I don't see how you can't feel that Dai…'
'I don't feel anything Dark…'
Dark groaned slightly wishing he could take a look around, but while Daisuke was in school he couldn't take over. The pull was strong and pulsing like a beating heart. He'd felt a smaller pulse like it around Risa when she'd used her tarot cards but nothing like this.
It was a true magical psychic energy, as living as he or Daisuke was. Had he felt kit before he would have taken a look through Daisukes eyes but now it was coming from all direction permeating the room like a strong static electricity.
And it was getting to him like a bad itch. He had to know and the first chance he got, he'd seek it out.
Alexion sighed picking up her books. Her first day had actually been enjoyable. For the first time since she could remember no one had called her a freak or any other horrid names. She'd been the girl who saw and heard things, things no one had been supposed to hear. She'd been outcasted and shunned but here it was different.
One girl in particular had shown her a great kindness by showing her around the school. Her name was Riku and she was the twin of another of the girls in her class, Risa.
She placed the books neatly in her locker and closed it turning the combination. She smiled slightly leaning her back against the cool metal resting for a moment before she heard a call. She looked up seeing Riku waving her over. Standing beside her was a petit boy, whose name she had yet to learn and beside him was another boy, one with brown hair.
She picked up her back quickly making her way over to them.
"Hey, Alex," Riku smiled. "I wanted to introduce you to two of my friends. This is Daisuke Niwa and Takeshi." (last name anyone?)
She smiled at the two, cocking her head to the side. "It's nice to meet you, I'm glad people here are so friendly."
Daisuke frowned looking at Alexion. He didn't know how to place it but there was something different about her, something strange.
"Weren't people nice at your last school?" Takeshi asked in a rather loud jeer. Alexion gave him a strained look, she could tell Takeshi could be obnoxious. She shook her head sadly but smiled bidding the horrid memories to flee.
"Not at all," she laughed, putting at ease the tension she'd set into place. "Too many cliques and no where to stay."
Riku smiled and nodded. "You don't have to worry about that here."
"That's good to know," she laughed.
Daisuke smiled at Alexion but was still unable to shake the feeling.
'Ha! Feel it now don't you?'
'DARK,' Daisuke growled but softened his tone. 'Yeah I can feel it. Is it coming from Ms. Descry?'
'Yeah…a very strong psychic pull,' Dark said and if Daisuke didn't know better he'd have thought the thief was in awe.
'Does that mean she'd a Psychic?' he asked curiously. No one had ever mentioned anything like it to him before.
'Maybe,' Dark smirked. 'Maybe I can talk to her and…'
'NO!'
Dark let out a whine. 'Why? I promise to be ..good Dai…'
'I said no.'
"Daisuke?"
Daisuke blinked snapping out of his conversation with Dark to see Alexion waving a small hand in front of his eyes. He grinned blushing slightly running a hand up through his hair. "Sorry."
She smiled slightly, and Daisuke felt some heat return to his cheeks. Her smile was something to behold.
"You zoned out on us for a minute," she laughed, a sound of innocence and joy. A hidden compulsion seemed to lie in that sound.
"Yeah, Niwa," Riku teased. "You were being spacey again."
Takeshi grinned and looked at Alexion.
"Maybe I can show you around later?" He asked wagging his eyebrows slightly as he reached for Alex's hand only to have her pull it sharply away, a glimmer of fear sparking up in her odd eyes.
She stared at Takeshi for a moment unconsciously rubbing her palm as if it burn but then dropped it to her side and smiled gently, but it lacked the light it'd had a moment before.
"Thanks for the offer. I'll think about it…uh..I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
With that said she turned and fled out the doors leaving Takeshi and Riku to stare after her. Daisuke watched curiously and inside his head Dark was planning a way to meet the schools new Mystery.
