Summery:
Seven girls find themselves in a different world...the question is how did they get there and how do they find their way back home?
Important note: Every time you follow a character around, the other characters are doing something else. Time passes for them too when you follow a certain character around. So in the fanfic you follow a different character during one class, the other characters are having they're class too although you don't see them. When the bell rings, their class ends just like the character you're following around.
My friends and I wrote this fanfic so sometimes the writing style changes. This chapter is a bit boring but the second one will be much better! Please review and no flames!
This means that the character you are following around has changed. (Etc, following Midori around, then changed to following Aiko around.)
"" this is talking this is something that the character is doing (etc. sighs, groans)
This is thinking for people who don't know, POV means point of view.
Midori Kinomiya, a fifteen year old girl student at Ragnarok High mumbled angrily as she tried to pull books out from her locker. When she has finally gotten all her books; she noticed that the halls were empty. Shocked, she dropped all her books onto the ground as her eyes widened. "Oh no! I'm going to be late for math!" Midori scooped up all her fallen textbooks and hurried off to class.
As she rushed through the gray halls, she noticed someone leaning against a locker and stopped. Midori noticed that "someone" was a she. She had long hair which reached past her waist with blood red highlights and sliver bangs. Midori now realized that the girl was Tatsu. Tatsu was the kind of girl who was very secretive, she wears black a lot and she has no friends that Midori knows of. Maybe I should go and see if she's ok, Midori thought, she might be sick since she's slumped like that. With that Midori started to walk toward her. Then suddenly Tatsu stirred and whirled around, staring at Midori with emotionless auburn eyes.
"What do you want?" She demanded hate showing in her voice and fire now flared in her auburn orbs.
Startled, Midori jumped back but quickly recovered, "I was just seeing if you're ok! I thought you were sick by the way you weren't moving!"
Tatsu said nothing; she only stood there, staring at the raven haired girl with an emotion that Midori couldn't figure out.
"Uh…I have to get to class…Bye!" Midori said, feeling uncomfortable and fled down the hall.
At last Midori reached room 102 and to her relief the students were walking in. She breathed a sigh and quickly lined up. Midori sat down at her desk, the third desk in the second row. Then the teacher, Mr. Takasan, came in. He was a tall man, probably in his late thirties; he had golden blond hair which was cut short and clear blue eyes. Mr. Takasan always wore a gray suit with a purple tie and today was no exception. To most of the girls in the class he was very handsome and they giggled about him when he has his back turned during the class. Amazingly, he never notices.
Mr. Takasan immediately began the lesson, rambling on about algebra. Midori let out a silent groan and plopped her head on top of her crossed arms. This is going to be a boring class. She thought, her eyes searching the classroom, trying to find anything that was more interesting than listening to another math lesson.
The classroom was medium sized; the walls were painted light blue. With black paper numbers covering the ceiling, along the walls hung posters explaining fractions, integers, and geometry. At the front of the classroom were two black chalk boards. In front of the chalk boards was a desk, a teacher's desk. There was a window beside the desk, allowing sunshine to light up the dull room. Outside the clouds were scattered in the light blue sky and the sun was shining brightly. A breeze moved from tree to tree, making their leaves dance. The field was empty, giving off a peaceful feeling.
Midori longed to be outside, sitting on the swings in the abandoned playground. Letting the quietness fill her and feeling the wind blowing gently against her face. Instead of being locked up in a stuffy classroom and forced to listen to the teacher talk about math.
DING DING DING DING DING DING!
Startled, Midori jolted up and almost fell out of her seat. Then she realized what had happened. The bell! Class is over! Jumping out of her seat Midori grinned happily then grabbing her books, she bolted out the door.
Aiko's POV
Huff Stupid gym teacher! Making us run through the forest! I thought as I sped across the field, passing a few people on the way. The trees beside the field now became blurs and I couldn't see anyone in front of me. This wasn't surprising since I was the fastest runner in the whole school. Huff My running shoes became heavier than I remembered. Now I was running on a well used path in the forest. I welcomed the shade the trees were giving me on such a hot day. I slowed down just as I was about to go across a small metal bridge on top of a clear river. I stopped in the middle of the bridge and peered over the side to see the water quietly rushing downstream. I sighed as I let myself relax knowing it would be a long time before anyone caught up to me. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of the forest. The calming rustles of leaves, the sounds of water from the river, and the birds chirping happily from the tree tops. A cold breeze cooled me down and sadly, I knew it was time to go. I let go of the railing and turned toward the path again. This time I kept at a good pace, not bothering to get myself heated up. Now I can see the trees with their lush green leaves and the colorful flowers growing on the grass under the trees. Suddenly there was a sharp whistle, and I realized that it meant the period was over.
Suddenly something rushed past me, almost knocking me over. I stumbled off the path and bumped into a tree which stopped my fall. I felt a sharp pain cut through my left arm as it came in contact with the rough bark of the tree, but I didn't bother to look. Angry, I turned and saw Andrew, the biggest jerk in the whole school. The way he was grinning at me made me want to puke. He stood there, arms crossed, as if challenging me to a race. I took my hand off the tree and putting my hands on my hips, I yelled, "Watch where you're going you big jerk!"
"Oh? And who's going to stop me little girl?" He taunted the stupid smirk still on his ugly face.
"Well, this little girl is going to kick your butt!" I mimicked his smirk, "And if you took that long to get here, I would beat you easily! Why don't you go home and play with your stuffed animals?"
I could see him turn red with rage and embarrassment as he sputtered out, "Oh yeah! Why don't you and I have a race then? See who's faster?"
"Ok, fine." I answered calmly, meeting his graze squarely. His eyes burned with flames, which seemed to go on forever until I turned back towards to path.
"Ready, Set, Go!" He yelled and took off. I ran after him and made no effort to save any energy for later. I knew it was bad to use up all your energy at first but I wanted to beat Andrew so badly that I put it out of my mind and concentrated on running full speed. We ran on for what seemed like hours through the damp forest, neither of us winning or losing. Then as we exited the forest, a blinding light took me by surprise and I tripped over a rock. As I fell I heard Andrew speeding away. I stayed on the ground, panting and it made me sick to know that Andrew didn't even stop to help me. Now my arm was pounding with pain, I felt warm liquid flowing from the cut on my arm down to my hand. When I could finally see I stood up and there was Andrew, almost to the finishing line. Anger boiled up inside of me and clenching my fists, I raced towards the finish line. I forgot all about the pain on my arm as I gained on Andrew. The only thing I had on my mind was the surprised look on his face when I beat him. As if by magic I gained extra energy and for a second I thought I flew. The grass on the ground beside the path was no longer green blurs, now I couldn't even see them anymore. The only thing I could see was the path I was running on, and the little speck that was Andrew up ahead.
Now my head hurt and my vision blurred. I began to see white spots floating through the air, I was getting sleepy and tired but I didn't stop, I knew if I did Andrew would rub it in my face for months. So I kept on going, kept on pushing myself. Before I knew it I had crossed the finish line. I turned and saw Andrew, an inch from the finish line. His face was twisted in different emotions. I smiled coldly at him and managed to croak out, "I told you I'm faster." before I passed out.
End of Aiko's POV
Yuriko's POV (same period)
I wonder what Aiko is doing. I hope she doesn't get herself into too much trouble without me there. Sighs I still remember the last time she got into trouble.
Flashback
"Aiko? Where are you?" I yelled into the empty playground. I had just received a message from Aiko on my cell phone.
Yuriko, please come A.S.A.P! I need help! Come to the park beside my house. Hurry!
Sighs This better not be a joke! I thought angrily. Suddenly I saw something move behind the dumpster. There were about three big shadows and one small shadow on the ground. The three big shadows each carried a stick in its hand. I was scared and I almost ran away but then I heard a faint cry, "Yuriko, Help!"
I turned and squinted at the shadows, trying to make out who they are but the sun was setting and the dumpster shielded them from the sunlight. Then the little shadow jumped up and stepped into the sunlight and I realized who it was, Aiko! What was she doing there! Who were the three bigger shadows then! A million thoughts ran through my head as I ran full speed towards Aiko. When the three bigger shadows saw me, they fled, probably not wanting me to see them and call the police. I gasped at the sight of Aiko.
Her black hair was smeared in blood, her nose looked like it was broken, she cradled her right arm which had a deep cut and blood was oozing out. Her left leg also looked to be broken. She had a black eye which was swollen badly.
I stared at her in astonishment but I broke out of my trance and concentrated on what was important, getting Aiko home.
"What did you do!" I yelled, gently holding her right arm and examining the cut. It was deep but it didn't go down to the bone.
She winced at the anger in my voice and wheezed out, "Nothing!"
"Yeah right you didn't do anything! Then how else would those people be after you?" I was getting frustrated and I tried controlling my anger. I finally said between gritted teeth, "Come on, we're going to go back to your house."
She nodded weakly and I let her lean on me for support. Together we made our way slowly to her house.
End of Flashback
I was now outside, in the middle of the empty playground, making my way to the field. I was supposed to bring a note to Mrs. Siko, the gym teacher, from Mrs. Simonette, the French teacher.
I was now on the field, the grass tickled my foot, which is the bad thing about wearing flip-flops. The sun was shining brightly with little clouds to block its rays. The wind played with my hair, blowing it in a thousands directions.
I have reached Mrs. Siko, I call her name and hold the note up to her but she doesn't move. She just stands there, mouth open, eyes bulging and staring down the path leading into the forest.
"Mrs. Siko?" I asked frowning, afraid that she might be suffering from some kind of weird sickness. I look around, every one of her students were also staring. I wondered what was so amazing so I turned and looked down the path as well. What I saw made me mad, worried, amazed, stumped, and excited all at once. There was Aiko running so fast that she was almost covered up by all the dust she was kicking up. Way up a head Andrew was just a meter from the finish line. He was close to winning but Aiko was gaining up on him, fast. I stared just like Mrs. Siko and her class. Then before I can blink, Aiko was across the finish line. I was stunned, how in the world did Aiko run so fast? But that thought was quickly put out of my mind as I saw Aiko, Her left arm had a long cut which was bleeding heavily and her gym uniform was a mess! There were blood stains everywhere and both her shirt and shorts were coated with a thick lair of dirt.
I heard her say to Andrew, "I told you I'm faster." Then she fell to the ground with a thump.
Oh no… music class! It's on the other side of the school! If I start walking now though, I won't be late. (A/N: These people are always late aren't they?)
"HURRY UP SAKURA! WE DON'T WANT TO BE LATE!" Lily shouted from the other side of the hall.
"Coming!" Sakura called back lightly, holding in a sigh as she gathered the rest of her books.
As Sakura walked quickly down the hallway, she suddenly remembered that she forgot her music book. Sigh Why now? Sakura was known to be a very quiet yet forgetful girl although she wasn't quite as forgetful as Midori. Sakura was also known as a polite and independent person.
She had grown up with Lily since she was little so they were best pals. Unfortunately, Lily was in a rush since the music room was on the other side of the school. Because of this, Lily didn't have time to wait for Sakura so Sakura watched sadly as Lily huffed her anger and sped away.
As Sakura turned back to get to her locker, she bumped into someone causing her to spill all her books on the floor while hitting her hand on an open locker close-by.
"OUCsorry!" Sakura exclaimed. She was so frustrated that she didn't bother to see who it was instead she bent down and tried to pick up all her books.
"Sakura, are you alright?" A voice said from above, sounding concerned.
"Yeah… I think I'm OK." Sakura looked up and saw Midori, her other friend. Then Sakura looked at her watch when it beeped, to see the dangerous warning time, "OH NO! Come on Midori, we're late for music class!" Together, they raced down all the hallways in the school and finally came to the large doors of the music room. From behind, Yuriko walked by.
"Hey guys, what's the rush?" Yuriko asked.
"Aren't we late for class!" Midori asked, panting from the long run.
Yuriko laughed. "Nope, its only 10:50, we're 5 minutes early"
"Whoopsie… I just remembered… my dad set my watch 5 minutes early because he didn't want me to get late in any of my classes!" Sakura said sheepishly. "I guess it worked… eh?"
Sakura and Lily walked side-by-side to their next class, chemistry.
"Are you sure your hand doesn't hurt?" Lily asked, eyeing Sakura's hand since she knew that Sakura hit her hand on a locker.
Sakura quickly stuffed her injured hand into her pocket. "Yep… I'm sure." After a while, she added, "Let's hurry up, we have your favourite subject, chemistry." (A/N: hehehe… im not sure how to rephrase that last comment, you could change it up a bit)
"Right!" Lily smiled brightly. They both speeded up.
"Don't forget the science notes we need for our project." Lily added.
"Don't worry… I have it…" Sakura looked around, "Lily!" She quickly turned around to see her friend gazing at the popular group of the school's cool girl, Mai.
"Aww… I wish I could be in Mai's popular group!" Lily whined.
Sakura rolled her eyes and let out a small groan.
"Today, we're going to continue the chemistry project. Please get into your pairs and begin." Mrs. Luu, the chemistry teacher was a Chinese woman with black hair tied in a neat bun. She wore a long black skirt and a white turtleneck with a glittering black vest over it. Lily was known to be Mrs. Luu's favourite student since grade 9, to now, grade 11 since Lily was very smart in answering questions. That could not always be said when it came to mixing potions though.
"Sakura! Over here, I got a good table!" Lily waved to her.
Sakura quickly got their ingredients, sodium chloride, calcium, H2O and some other utilities for their experiment. They were paired together by Mrs.Luu because they worked well together.
"You start on it; I'm going to make some notes." Lily told her.
"Sure…sure." Sakura sighed.
Their assignment was to create something helpful out of the materials they had at chemistry class. Sakura and Lily were going to combine sodium chloride with H2O to create salt water which could act as a sterilizer to cuts.
Sakura filled a small test tube with sodium chloride carefully since her right hand still throbbed from the "locker incident". Midori had apologized so much Sakura had to beg her to stop. She carefully poured some water as well into the test tube. Suddenly, pain shot through her hand and the floor was splattered with water.
"SAKUURRAAA!" Lily screamed, hugging her 'precious' papers in her arms. "What have you done? You could have RUINED my notes! Ok, YOU clean this up and I'LL do the project. Plus, I'LL show you how it's REALLY done!"
Blah blah blah blah blah. Sakura thought, annoyed, Humph… it's not my fault my hand hurts. She quickly went to the chemistry's back room to get a cloth to clean it up anyways. She wiped all the water off the floor until it was dry. While Sakura was doing this, Lily carefully did the process once again.
Argh… why does Sakura have to be soooo bothersome? Oh well, I'll show her how it's really done! Lily thought.
Lily took out a clean plastic test tube and filled it with sodium chloride. She then reached for the calcium. I hope I get this right…
"LILY! Don't add the calcium!" Sakura suddenly said.
"Why not!" Lily challenged and tipped the calcium into the test tube. "See. Told you so." Lily declared, raising her chin up into the air like a spoiled brat.
Sakura pointed to the test tube with a shaking finger. The sodium chloride and calcium had created a test tube that was bubbling rapidly.
Lily panicked. "What do I do with it!"
Mrs. Luu appeared out of nowhere. "Drop it in the sink." She said calmly, and pointed to the sink in the front of the classroom with a wave of her hand.
Lily picked up the tube with shaking hands and ran over to the sink; as soon as she got there she dropped it into the sink and turned on the tap which washed the test tube clean.
Aiko's house (Aiko's POV)
Slowly, I opened my eyes as light flooded in. At first I couldn't see and I panicked thinking I had turned blind. Where am I? I closed my eyes and calmed myself down.I opened my eyes again to see that I was in my bedroom. The light pink walls were covered with posters of puppies and kittens. In front of my bed was a book shelf full of stuffed animals. The door on my left was white and left open, with a sign saying "Aiko" in brightly colored letters. A closet was on the opposite wall of the door. I groaned, I was sore all over and when I tried to sit up but I found that I couldn't move my left arm. Carefully I raised my right arm and removed the blankets covering my other arm. I was surprised at what I saw, although not too surprised. This kind of stuff happens to me a lot and I have grown used to them. Most of my friends would've considered my crazy to not be afraid when my arm is wrapped up and bleeding with pain throbbing in my arm every second but I just shrugged it off. I pulled the rest of the blankets off me and gently swung my legs over the side of my bed, pulling myself into a sitting position. I shivered when my foot touched the cold marble floor. I noticed my light blue slippers lying in front of the closet door. Carefully I made my way across my bedroom in a slow shuffle, wincing at the ice cold floor and the endless pain in my arm. When I finally reached my destination, I quickly slipped on my slippers, stopping the torture inflicted on my foot. Now I looked around, how did I get back to my house? I thought, puzzled. I tried to remember what had happened but everything was blurry.
Then, someone knocked on my door. I was caught off guard and in my attempt to jump back; I tripped and fell on my back. Pain shot up my spine and I felt the cut on my arm bleeding again. I heard someone gasp and then there was a sound of things being dropped. Soft footprints came rushing to my side and I sensed that someone had knelt beside me. Arms wrapped around my shoulders and helped me sit. I coughed, then slowly I opened my eyes to meet the worried face of………. Yuriko! My eyes flew open as I grinned.
"Hey Yuri." I said, smiling. She helped my climb onto my bed and covered me with my blanket. She stood beside my bed and held a hand up to my forehead, muttering to herself. When I looked up I was surprised of how emotionless her face was, like she was trying to hide something from me.
"What's wrong?" I asked when she had taken her hand off my forehead.
She looked down at me, her face now showed pure anger as her eyes blazed, "Why did you race Andrew? What were you trying to prove?" She demanded.
Surprised, I stared at her, eyes wide and mouth dropping. Yuriko continued to glare at me with fiery brown orbs. Uh oh…
Ok, that's it for the first chapter! For those who didn't fall asleep, should we (me and my friends) continue writing this fanfic?
Please review!
