From Chapter 2:
Both boys smirked at each other, their eyes held an eerie glow. After a few minutes, they got bored and laid their heads down. Valon turned back to his homework. He was in the process of answering problem 19 as the bell rang. "Great…10 down, only 45 to go..." He stood up and followed the other students out of the classroom.
Children of the Orichalcos
Chapter 3: Fun for Some
His second class was easy to find, only three rooms down from his first. He noticed right away that he had another class with the Wheeler boys. They sat down next to a slightly shorter kid with shoulder-length black hair and Cobalt blue eyes. The boy stopped typing on his laptop computer and smiled playfully at them. Valon sat down a few seats behind the Joey-look-alike. He looked up when he heard the black haired boy speak. "So, did you guys manage to fit nap time in today?" Kyris smirked. "Oh yeah! With time to spare, too." "What did you have to do in Mr. Monotone's class today, Raiyu?" Zane asked the boy. Raiyu sighed. "Parabolas, hyperbolas, Matrices, etc. …Review stuff." Raiyu replied. Kyris yawned. "How dull…" The blond replied. Zane laughed. "You're just moody 'cause I woke you up early." Kyris glared at the brunet. "Yeah, you woke me up at 5:00 and we were still almost late to class because you decided to run off this morning." Raiyu also gave Zane a dirty look. "Where exactly did you go in such a hurry? You left as soon as mom dropped us off." The black haired boy complained. The Brunet laughed sheepishly. "Sorry Rai, just remembered something I had to do…I didn't even think about it 'till we got to school." Raiyu smirked. "So, you can think…" he said slyly. Zane glared at him. Raiyu rolled his eyes and continued. "…I guess Kyris must have been using the brain cell this morning." The brunet smacked his friend. "Hey, at least I can think! Everything you know is pre-programmed, Raiyu." Kyris watched the others fight with an irritated expression on his face. "Both of you shut up!" he shouted. The other teens became silent. "You're giving me a headache!" The blond told them. Valon jumped when he heard the last bell ring, signaling the beginning of class.
The teacher walked into the room, looking almost lost. He glanced around at the students briefly before scowling. "Brats…" he mumbled under his breath. "Okay children, we will be learning about Hitler's death camps today and how wonderful…I mean…horrible they were." Valon shivered. "Then you will be writing an eight page report over one of the most well known death camps…" Zane raised his hand, interrupting the teacher. The teacher glared at him. "Yes, Mr. Wheeler?" he asked coldly. "Mr. Haeder, I did this assignment last year in Ms. Stone's class, do I have to do it again?" "Yes!" the teacher aid angrily. "You will do it, and you will like it!" Zane frowned. "Mr. Haeder?" he asked. "What?" the teacher demanded. "Have you considered Anger Management?" The brunet asked. The teacher seethed while the class roared with laughter. He looked ready to strangle the teenager. "If you are done interrupting my class, we will begin our lesson now." He said bitterly. He turned and began drawing a diagram on the chalkboard. Kyris gave Zane a hi-five. "Okay Class! Pay attention!" Valon cringed as he shifted his attention to the board. The teacher pointed to the drawing. "Mr. Wheeler, since you like to disrupt my class, perhaps you could label this diagram." There was no reply. Valon glanced over at the boys' desks to find them empty. He stared in surprise. The Teacher growled and stormed out of the room.
Raiyu laughed. "You're new, right?" he asked Valon. "I guess you think they're pretty strange, huh?" The brunet nodded silently, not knowing what to say. Raiyu studied him for a minute with fascination. "Interesting…you look almost exactly like Zane. Kind of strange considering that Zane and Kyris are twins and don't look much alike." Valon blinked. "Twins?" He asked in surprise. Raiyu smiled. "Yeah, they're paternal twins, the two of them aren't identical, but they think alike. Sometimes I think they share a brain." Valon smiled. "Seems like you know them pretty well." He said. Raiyu nodded. "Yep, they're my cousins." He said softly. "Really?" Valon asked. "How are you related?" "Their my mother's brother's children. Oh, I never introduced myself, did I? My name is Raiyu Kaiba." He said offering his hand to the brunet. Hesitantly, Valon shook his hand. Raiyu laughed. "It's okay, I don't bite…usually."
"So, where do you think your relatives took off to?" The brunet asked his newfound friend. "I'd have to guess the roof. Usually they the jump out the second story window in room 410 and climb up the tree and onto the roof. They go up there all the time." Valon shivered. "Sounds dangerous. Are they fearless, or just crazy?" Raiyu smirked. "A little of both, I'm afraid. But they're also pretty lucky. Neither of them has gotten seriously hurt yet. Mom says they inherited both the skill and the luck from their father." Valon smiled, remembering his duel with Joey. "Are they related to Joey Wheeler?" he asked. Raiyu smiled sadly. "Yeah, Joey is their father." He replied. "Is he as good of a duelist as I've heard?" Valon asked, hoping Joey still had a passion for dueling. Raiyu sighed. "Sorry, I wouldn't know. He's been in a coma since a few hours after my cousins were born." Valon mentally panicked. "I'm sorry, I didn't know…" he said sadly. Raiyu smiled softly. "Not your fault. My father made sure the media didn't know anything about it. It is strange though, he didn't have any injuries or medical problems. My mom found him unconscious right after she heard that the twins had been born and he hasn't woken up since. Doctors say he's perfectly healthy, though, even my father's best doctors can't do anything to help him." Valon shivered, remembering the effects of the Orichalcos. "What about their mother?" He asked. Raiyu shook his head. "...Nobody knows where she is." He said after a moment of hesitation. "They have been living with my family since before I was born."
They both jumped when the door was flung open and the enraged Mr. Haeder strode in. He glared at the class. "Since your classmates have wasted most of the hour making me search for them, we will be finishing the discussion tomorrow, but don't think this will happen again, so enjoy your free time!" He spat. Valon sighed. He was relieved that he wouldn't have to do excessive homework in at least one class for the day. Raiyu put away his laptop when the bell rang and smiled at Valon. "What do you have next?" The shorter teen asked him. Valon pulled out his schedule. "English with Ms. Spunk." He replied. Raiyu laughed. "So do I and the others. She usually doesn't give too much homework, but I think she's a bit Psycho." Valon rolled his eyes. "Are you saying this teacher is sane?" Raiyu chuckled. "No, but at least he's halfway logical. Ms. Spunk is…out there, to say the least. She comes up with the strangest assignments. You'll see. Come with me to find the others." Raiyu requested. Valon nodded and followed him out of the room.
They stopped at room 410 and looked in to see the Wheeler boys climbing back in the window. Kyris was laughing as Zane lost his balance on the windowsill and fell into the room head first, with a loud crash. Zane glared at his sibling. "Jerk! You made me lose my balance!" Kyris snickered. "I was already in the room and three feet away from you, Zane, how could I possibly have made you fall?" The blond said innocently. Zane glared. "Whatever, let's just get to class." He said moodily. Raiyu burst into laughter, which startled the twins. Zane blinked. "Hey Raiyu, decided to wait for us today?" The black-haired boy nodded. "Yeah, and I made a friend." He pointed to Valon. The twins stared in surprise. "Wow…" that was all Zane was able to say. Raiyu smiled. "Yeah, odd isn't it? It's almost like they're related or something." The black haired boy said. Kyris smirked. "Hey Raiyu, which one do you think is the evil twin?" Zane's eye twitched. "If anyone is evil, it's you!" Kyris feigned hurt. "Me? Whatever do you mean by that, dear brother?" Both Zane and Raiyu rolled their eyes. Kyris decided to change the subject. "So, what's your name?" he asked Valon. "My name is Valon Razura." The brunet replied. The blond blinked. "Oh, right, you must be the new student in first hour," Kyris said. He laughed, "Sorry; neither of us pay much attention in the morning!" He explained. Raiyu sighed and dragged his cousins out of the room impatiently. "We can talk later, guys…The bell is about to ring!"
