The new students

"Class, we have two new arrivals today,"the teacher said before she turned towards the door, "You may come in now."

Two boys enter, one with glasses, purple hair, and his nose in a book. The other was blond with golden eyes and a smile.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet…"

The first boy closed his book, revealing his violet eyes, "My name is Niwa Dark. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Hikari Kuro." The blond said, his eyes surveying the room.

"Hikari and Niwa, you make take any available seats in the room," said the teacher.

Kuro/Satoshi sat down behind a girl with a Goth-demeanor while Dark/Daisuke sat behind Kyo.


During lunch, the two were approached by several girls.

"So where do you guys live?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Where do you come from?"

Dark says a few undistinguishable words under his breath before he goes back to reading his book. Kuro wasn't so lucky; when the girls realized that Dark either couldn't hear them or was ignoring them, they started to hover around Kuro even more!


"Yo Dark, how'd you pull that off?" said Kyo in amazement.

"Easy. I put a simple charm around my ears so that I could block out their insensate chatter. The only reason I even responded was cause the charm only allows me to hear someone when they use my name."

"Mind teaching ME that charm sometime?" said Kyo with a strange look in his eye.

"Sure…how does after school sound?" said Dark.

"Great! By the way, what book are you reading?"

Dark chuckled as he turned around to face Kyo with a smirk, "Who said I was actually reading it?"

Kyo bursts out laughing at this, which causes several of the class to look at him like he's lost it!


After school, on the roof…

"So all I have to do is say 'ecnelis'?"

"Pretty much. All your doing is saying 'silence' backwards."

"Cool. Do you think it will work tomorrow?" asked Kyo eagerly.

"One way to find out…" laughed Dark, "I think we better head home now, don't you?"

"By the way, what's with the glasses? You never said anything about needing them!"

"I borrowed them from Satoshi. It's something that helps keep fan-girls away," explained Dark as they headed down the stairs.


That night, Kyo was in for a nasty shock when he went inside the house.

"KYO-KUN!" cried a brown-haired girl with a stuffed-animal backpack. Kyo barely dodged in time; too bad Daisuke was right behind him! The girl collided with Daisuke and they were enveloped by a large cloud of smoke. Daisuke emerged coughing and looked to see where the girl had disappeared to. Much to his surprise, a boar appeared out of where the girl's clothes were!

"What the heck just happened?!" exclaimed Daisuke.

"Kagura you idiot! What were you thinking?!" snarled Kyo angrily.

"Kyo-kun, how was I supposed to know that there was someone right behind you?" said the boar.

"WHA! This is too weird!"

"Like you'd know what being NORMAL means!" snorted Satoshi.
