The silver haired teen threw the newspaper aside. One of the men around him picked it up, he was about to hand it back to the lad, but the youth glared. None of the men said a word. A young woman entered, giving him a deep bow.

"Chichi-ue has done it this time." he muttered sourly, "The game's to be released in two days and I haven't approved of it." He sighed. "He has no openings?"

"No, sir." she squeaked. "Would you like to test the game for any bugs? I could get it for you, Naverange-dono won't mind."

"Thank you, Aria-san. Though I would prefer you wouldn't, chichi-ue would disapprove. I'd like to go out for a drive. Samus-san, do I have time?" He turned to one of the men.

"Yes, sir, you do. Shall we go now?" Samus looked at his young master. He nodded.

"Aria-san?"

"Uh—hai?"

"Make sure chichi-ue doesn't know, alright?"

"Yes, sir."

Tahu sat beside Jaller on the public bus. They, along with Takua and Gali, were returning home from school. The bus slowed to a stop, letting off those who were getting off, and letting those on who were getting on. The blazer wasn't the most comfortable thing to wear.

Gali stood up, her skirt moving with her motion. Tahu looked over to his friend. The three of them had become good friends with her easily. It was their luck Gali attended their school, the boys hadn't thought to bring their cards for the bus of train.

"Here, ma'am, you may have my seat." Gali offered an older woman her seat. The woman smiled at her.

"Thank you, child." the woman said, Takua scooted over to give her more room. "I appreciate the generosity."

"You're welcome." Gali held onto the handle bar as the bus began to move again. The rain storm outside had startled many, baffling the meteorologists, the rain being the main reason why they were taking the bus. Gali said that spirits of old were trying to tell them something. Tahu had snorted at her comment.

"Yea, spirits. Gali, grow up! You really believe in stuff like that?" Tahu inquired. It had hurt Gali's feelings, but she had forgiven him.

"Tahu, one day you'll realize how old things will save us all."

"Gah! I hate the rain!" a brown haired boy yelped as he and two others leaped under shelter. He was on the bigger side, his skin was darkly tanned, but not as dark as the tall teen next to him. The dark haired boy looked over to the third person in their party. A small and skinny runt with leaf green hair and dark lime eyes.

"The bus stop is only five seconds away." the younger of the three said.

"Bus in ten, nine, eight, go!"

The three ran to the stop and waited for others to get off before getting on. By now, the bus was full, not packed, just full. They wiggled their way to the back to where a group of four teens sat talking and laughing.

"Mind if we join you?" the brown haired boy asked. The girl smiled.

"Of course not."

"I'm Noramba Pohatu. The shorty here is Nyzolen Lewa. And the tall guy here is Necrama Onua."

"I'm Naverange Gali. Nuwanga Tahu is the red head, Mamboratsu Takua is next to me and next to Tahu-kun is Mecronancy Jaller. You go to Destiny Senior High?"

"Yeah, how'd you guess?"

"Uniforms."

Pohatu looked down at his soaked uniform and sighed.

"Dad's going t' murder me." the youth mumbled. Lewa grinned widely and burst into laughter, Onua chuckled. It was quite clear of how close of friends they were. "Shut it!" Pohatu waved around his satchel at the youngest's head, Lewa dodged it, making Pohatu's momentum and satchel smack into a man. And not just any man, a large, buff one at that. You know, the bully type you'd see in movies and cartoons? Yea, a man like that.

The man turned around to glare at the teen. Pohatu backed away nervously. He backed into the escape door and gulped. Grinning uneasily, he looked up at the man. The other watched, doing their best to think of someway to help the lad. A growl escaped the large bloke's lips, making Pohatu gulp once again.

"Excuse me, sir?" a cool voice asked. They all turned to see who had spoken. It was a boy about Tahu's height, slimmer, and with fair, long blond hair that was tied up and with ice-blue eyes. His frame was cloaked with a black, leather trench coat; black, baggy jeans; and black collard shirt.

The man grunted, looking down on the boy.

"I believe it was an accident."

"Yah, so?" the man grumbled.

"You know as well as I do it was." He looked around the man to Pohatu who had shakily stood up. "I believe you owe him an apology."

"Ye-yea." Pohatu looked at the man and gulped for the third time. "Look 'm sorry. My friend and I were just goofing off." The man grunted and turned around. The fair blond moved out of the way, allowing the man to pass. Pohatu walked over to the boy, grinning.

"Hey thanks. Though I could've taken care of myself." Pohatu said good naturedly.

"Whatever."

"Master Naverange, you're father has been informed of your vanishment."

'Naverange? That's Gali-san's last name!' Tahu thought, 'I wonder if she has any family here.'

"Great." The tone was cold but sarcastic.

The bus slowed to a stop. Gali, Tahu, Takua and Jaller grabbed their things.

"Well maybe we'll see each other again." Gali said, smiling at their new found friends. And, with that, the group of four left the bus, running into the protection of the apartment complex.

Pohatu relaxed in his computer chair. He had his phone on speakerphone.

"I almost got pulverised today, Onua! You and Lewa would've been left with 2/3's the trouble we are."

"Just relax, Pohatu. I don't think he would've hurt someone of your stature, heck you're two centimetres shorter than that Naverange girl."

"Yeah... Hey did you notice how she and that other guy, ya know the freaky blond, had the same last name?

"How could one miss it. Think they're related somehow?"

"Meh, probably. And you know what else? I think he was Naverange Kopaka."

"Impossible and highly unlikely... Though the impossible has been known to happen."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"...No."

"Onua!"

Onua chuckled on the other line.

"It's not funny!"

"I know."

"Just listen..."

Ta-dah! There it is next episode will premire 11-5-06. Don't ask why, it's a random date. So have fun while I meditate for... however many days it is.
