Sy- Hi!
me- Shut up, read the story!
Sy- Raiin-san does not own us.
STORY
A girl stood in Professor Banner's office, eyeing him suspiciously. She didn't know if she could trust anyone. This was Raiin. Prof. Banner gave her a red blazer; she slipped it on and followed him to the dorm room she was staying in.
"You will be rooming with three boys named Syrus, Jaden, and Chumley, is that ok?" Banner asked, turning to Raiin.
"It's ok." Came her almost inaudible reply. Banner shrugged, opening the door to the designated room and ushering Raiin inside. Sy and Jaden looked up from their cards that were spread out on the floor and Chumley turned over in his bed.
"This is Raiin! She'll be rooming with you…Have a nice day." Prof. Banner left as soon as he said this.
"Psychopathic, cat-loving weirdo." Raiin muttered, putting her stuff in a corner and sitting beside it. Jaden and Sy walked up.
"Hi, I'm Jaden Yuki!" Jaden beamed, holding out his hand. Raiin shook it slowly.
"And I'm Syrus." The shy boy held out his hand. Raiin looked at him, shaking his hand as she had done Jaden's.
"You already know who I am." Raiin said softly. She thought Syrus was cute as a personal opinion but he'd never love her, she was a freak. Before, she'd been kicked out of schools because her left eye was black and blue and her right eye was black and red. This one would probably be no different.
"Hello? Earth to Raiin! Did you hear me?" Jaden waved a hand in front of her face. She looked at him.
"There's something different about you…I know! It's your eyes, they're different colors!" Jaden exclaimed. Tears pricked the corners of Raiin's eyes. Silently, she stood up, walking out and into the forest. Sy looked at Jaden.
"You made her cry!" he accused, already liking the new girl. Jaden looked at Sy slyly.
"You like her, don't you!" At this comment, Sy blushed.
"HA! I knew it! Sy likes Raiin!" Jaden looked triumphant.
"Shut up!" Sy growled, "We have to find her!" Jaden nodded, the two exiting, leaving Chumley sleeping like a rock.
"RAIIN! Where are you? Jaden didn't mean it, he just overreacts sometimes!" Syrus called loudly. Jaden called Raiin's name too. He wanted to be her friend and maybe hook her up with Sy if he could manage it. Meanwhile, Raiin had run to the lighthouse, to the sea. Her concealing spell had also worn off, revealing her demonic features. Her 'human' ears were simply an illusion. She gained two dog ears on the sides/top of her head that were black as the night sky. A fluffy tail poked out of a hole in her black jeans. This too was black as her ears and hair but had cerulean blue streaks. Her hair didn't change much either, it just got a little longer but the blood red and cerulean blue streaks didn't change. Raiin sighed, walking back into the forest. Her tail showed no sign of happiness, her eyes portrayed sadness. Raiin sat down on a rock that had been warmed by the sun, contemplating on her feelings for Syrus, the stakes of being at Duel Academy, and the risks of having friends. A breeze blew past, rustling the leaves of the trees. With another sad sigh, Raiin got up and walked in a random direction of the forest. Her ears perked up; she'd heard something. There it was again!
"RAIIN, Raiin, where are you? Please come out. Nobody hates you for being different!" Syrus's voice rang about the forest walls. Raiin laughed a bit. It wasn't a happy "HA!" kind of laugh, it was a sad, humorless "heh".
"I'm not just different, I'm an outcast and a hanyou, a filthy half-breed. You can try to be my friend. I'm willing to be yours. I'd love to be anyone's friend. I really need help. I hope you find me." She murmured getting up and walking their way. Syrus and Jaden had been yelling for Raiin for about thirty minutes. Sy, who was going hoarse, sat on a rock and listened to the forest. He heard a crunching.
"Jaden, sit down." He said tiredly. Jaden looked at him, confused.
"I already am." Jaden said. A crunching noise penetrated the rustling of the otherwise silent forest. Sy and Jaden stayed quiet and listened. The crunching continued, getting closer and closer. Raiin walked out of the bushes. Her concealing spell wasn't replaced but Syrus and Jaden didn't notice. Jaden jumped up, as did Syrus.
"Listen, Raiin, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean saying your eyes are different colors in a bad way, I think they're cool. I'm sorry." Jaden apologized, leaving Raiin stunned. No one had thought her eyes were cool, she'd been shunned and called a freak. Syrus coughed a bit.
"I think your eyes are pretty." He volunteered, a pink blush staining his cheeks.
"Thank you. You don't know how much that means to me." Raiin said, a blush also evident on her face. Jaden saw this and a string of thoughts suddenly entered his head. 'Ha, I knew it! They like each other, now all I have to do is get them together!' He thought excitedly.
me- Well, that's the end of chapter one. If you flame me, I WILL flame you back.
Sy- Read and review please!
