As the ever annoying alarm went off, a weiry Katrina opened her eyes, only to quickly slam them closed again due to the blinding sunlight upon the white walls. "Stupid light…" Slowly swinging her legs off the bed, Katrina had a short memory re-laps and forgot she was on the top bunk. She was quickly woken up upon her face-plant landing to the floor. "Owowowowowowowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sitting up quickly, Daisuke looked down at Katrina and slapped his forehead doing his best to conceil a smirk. "I told mom that you on the top bunk would be bad news…"

"Stfu…"

Chuckling softly, Daisuke hopped down from his own bunk and helped up Katrina, earning a glare from the brunnet in the process. "What?!"

"I could have done it myself…" She hissed back at him before storming out of the room and down the hall towards the bathroom.

Sighing in defeat, Dai headed down the stairs for what ever breakfast he could muster with a heavy frown. "I can never help…"

'At least ya tried partner…at least ya tried…'

As Daisuke stared down at his toast, which he swore growled at him, he quickly glanced up when he head footsteps coming down the stairs, only to see Katrina looking rather annoyed in her new uniform. Completely un-know to him how much she was plotting it's demise when she got home.

'Just keep telling your self, it's nice, just keep telling your self that…' She growled mentally to herself over and over again.

'Ka, you're starting to scare me here… And I'm the devil's right hand woman!'

Ignoring her obnoxious partner, Katrina glanced up and cocked an eyebrow at Daisuke, who quickly turned his attention back to the toast, pokeing it with a fork to sadly try and tame it.

"Well are we going to go now, or am I forced to walk myself?"

Jumping up at her harsh tone, Daisuke immidiatly grabbed his bag laying on the couch, stuffed the toast in his mouth then headed out the doordooing his best to try and catch up to Katrina who had already started to walk away.

Walking down the streets, Daisuke was beginning to feel un-easy with the awkward silence that always seemed to fall on them as Katrina simply stared up into the sky through half open eyes. Trying to break it, he opened his mouth, inhaled, yet closed it upon finding that he couldn't think of anything, gaining a quick glance from Katrina in the end through the corner of her eyes. "You okay there Newa?"

"Hu? Oh yha, just fine…" He just gulped and turned away pulling limply at his collar. Over and over again he would tell her that it was too hot out if she asked what he was doing with his shirt. Yha...too hot... Stupid thinking blocks!

Another two minutes passed before Daisuke couldn't undertake it any more. "Suuuu..." His slurred beging caused Katrina to glance at him again without moving her head from it's bent-back position. "According to my mom, you never have gone to school before, right?"

Twitching, Katrina stopped dead in her tracks causing Daisuke stop infront and look back at her with a raised eyebrow. That was until she started to yell... Then he hid behind his book bag.

"So what if I haven't, does that make you want to pity my?! Oh boo hoo, the poor little girl never has been to school before, lets all pity her! Well get this strait bub! No one, and I mean NO ONE pities this little girl!"

In a huff, she brushed past the frightened red head and ran off, leaving Daisuke staring shocked as she disappeared through the streets.

"Wait! KATRINA!" Yet she was already gone and he was left looking like an idiot holding a hand out to where she dissapeared. "Dang it all…" Taking off in a quick sprint, Daisuke soon found himself at school; guilt welding up inside since he hadn't found Katrina on the way.

'Come on partner… She'll fine her way…' His other side churred at him trying to calm the boy down, that only ended worse...

"You said that about Wiz when he disappeared, and he didn't show up for THREE WEEKS!" Daisuke closed his eyes as he yelled into the crowded court yard to no one in particular.

'Ahhhh! No need to yell! God…'

Sighing, Dai hung his head down in defeat and walked into the school; the entire student body scooting farther and farther into two seperat halves as he went.

Sulking, he slowly shuffled into the large class room. His head instantlyshot up though when he heard the loud comotion of a group of boys over near the window.

"Please can I have your phone number?!"

"Do you have e-mail? Can I have your address?"

"Wanna go see a movie? My treat!"

Walking over, Dai skeptically looked over the love sick boys to see Katrina sitting in her desk, head resting up on her hand and looking out at the trees, a twinge off anoyance and disqust upon her bord face.

As the bell rang though, Daisuke was swept away in the crowd before he could even talk to her, only causing him to sigh harder at his ill luck.

"Good morning class, today I would like to introduce our newest student, Miss. Katrina, please come up here…"

Sighing, Katrina removed herself from the desk reluctantly and walked up to the beaming teacher, noting that she would become a pain in the ass later. Spinning around on her heel, Katrina glanced out at the group with a blank face and a sigh.

"Names Katrina, please don't call me by my last name…ever… Uh, I like to read, write, and basically, anything artistic…" At this she glanced back to the way to peppy teacher. WHAT IS IT WITH THESE PEOPLE?! "May I sit down now please?"

Nodding, the teacher watched with her brown eyes as Katrina quickly shot back down the aisle to her chair. Everyteim a boy googled her back, Katrina marked their names off for Kiva to go free-rein on.

As Katrina quickly turned to her seat, she paused slightly before sitting when she saw Daisuke, turning to the window to hide a small blush of embarrassment for snapping at him earlier. 'Remind me to say sorry latter Kiva…'

Kiva merly smirked and nodded. So her partner still had some humain points in her twisted up life. 'That much I can still do…'

Sighing heavly, Katrina turned to the window again, slowly tuning out the teacher's high pitched fake little voice from her brain and began to play an advanced game of I spy that Kiva and her had invented with their raptor-like vision skills.

Five agonizing minutes later, Katrina was yelling at Kiva with a sly grin. 'I'm telling you, I spy a cat!'

Rolling her chocolate eyes, Kiva once more began to stare out the class room through half opened eyes, until finally she saw a fat orange cat sitting high up in a courtyard tree. Instantly, a slyer smirk spread across Katrina's controlled lips as Kiva scanned the yard with her brown eyes. 'Ha ah! Now it's my turn kid! …I spy, uhmmmm, a frog!'

During lunch, Katrina sat next to a large tree, her nose buried deep into one of the library's books. If anyone was the resident book worm, they had better look out for her now. Glancing up over the book's rim, she watched a boy with dark choppy hair holding up a small video camera to her, his eye to the screan, the small red dot on and a large grin on his face. "Boy, that better not be on..."

Laughing nervously, he pressed a small button and surprisingly, the dot went away, then sat down next to Katrina. This action only causing her to roll her ocean eyes and return back to the book.

"So... whatch reading?"

Sighing, she moved her fingers to show the title, tapping lightly against the hard cover, then clasped them back down when he made an "Oh"ing sound.

"What do you want anyways?" Her eyes couldn't help but glance up at him in wait for an answer.

Laughing, he ran a hand threw his hair choppy hair with a stupid grin plastered onto his face. "My name is Takashi! Future detective and reporter of this here lovely school... And what is the miss's beautiful name?"

Standing abrutly up, Katrina slammed her book closed and began to walk off, book under her arm, and a hand placed over her skirt backing because it obviously hated her. "Katrina... Now leave me alone..."

Taking a swift left, she sat suddenly down at a small wooden table, nose going directly back into the book with a light twitch. She never realised who she had sat with until she heard that all to familiar voice.

"Katrina? What are you doing here?"

Glancing up, Katrina watched Daisuke stare at her, then to the two other girls sitting across from him, one with her mouh partly open around a straw hanging limply from a milk carten, the other swallowing a sandwich.

She simply shrugged it off and turned back to her book with a sigh. "Some idiot wouldn't let me read... So I guess, I just sat here..."

"Uh hu..." Nodding to her response, he turned back to the others as Katrina read on, quickly pulled over the table by the short haired one by the collar of his shirt.

"Is she the one you found out in the park Dai?"

Nodding, he positioned himself back where he was and straitened his shirt, turning his attention to the reading teen and the two twins with a smilght smirk.

"Oh you poor dear!"

Confused, Katrina looked up over her book blinking at the two girls. Daisuke slapping his head with a hand as the long haired one stared at Katrina twitching lightly at her big mouthiness.

"I beg your pardon?" Katrina placed a slip of paper into the book and partialy closed it looking back at the girl.

"You poor thing, left out in the cold world, then to be found in a park! You must be..."

Katrina never let the girl finish she was so pissed off. Turning to Daisuke with brown higlighted eyes, Katrina glared him down with a light fire burning in anger behind them. "Why don't you just go yell it to the heavens Daisuke Niwa! God damn it, I can't trust a single person here, can I!" Standing up, she slammed and shoved her book benith her arm again and marched off; Daisuke slamming his head to the table and groaning.

"God, what was up with her?! Stupid girl is probably on crack!"

Looking up, Dai glanced at the two twins before standing up and sighing heavly. "I have to go find her... See ya latter Riku, Risa..."

Nodding, the two girls watched him run off, then turned to each other. "I think you have some love completion there sister..."

Shaking her head, Riku glared at the area where Katrina ran off. "No flipping Hobo is going to steal my future boyfriend..."

Leaning against a tree with one hand emberded into her bangs, Katrina held her book close to her chest, eyes closed tight as she panted lightly; half from anger, another half from running like that.

'What the hell was that about?!'

'How am I supposed to know, Mother Goddess! I'm such a fucking fool!' She snapped back at Kiva, causing the aqua haired devil to shrink back into the shadows slightly. Groaning in her stupidity, Katrina slowly slid down the tree and sat on the grass, hugging her knees so that she was scrunched tightly into a ball. "Everywhere I go, they all act the same..."

Appearing out from behind a tree, Daisuke quickly hid back behind it again and held his breath, turning only his head around to glance Katrina. His red eyed gaze dropping slightly with his heart when he saw her curl into the ball. 'I never should have told them Dark...'

'Well, you did, and now I have to try and stay hidden... unless...'

He pereked up at the possible idea to help Katrina. 'What? Unless WHAT!?'

Grinning, the phantom thief drummed his fingers on his arm lightly, causing Daisuke to gulp slightly and instantly regret even thinking about it. 'I could possibly cheer her up, ever read her book title? "The Great history of thief's"? It's obvious, she's a fan!'

Sighing, Dai slowly let his control drop, his hair soon turning a purplish and layered. 'I better not regret this…'

Standing up all, Dark fixed his tie. "Trust me...You won't…"

Shooting her head up, Katrina glared into the trees, Kiva at the ready, hands clenched tightly into tight fists.

"Hey there, you might want to put thoughs down, someone might get hurt..." The smooth voice ringing through the clearing sent shivers up both her's and Kiva's backs. An instant red flag going up in her mind reading PERVERT ALERT!!!!

"What do you want creep?!" She instantly jumpped up and held her fists even tighter into the air.

"Is that any way to talk to some one older now?"

Stepping out from behind a tree, Dark stood there smirking at the brunett, causing Katrina to only tense her jaw and narrow her oceanic eyes at him. Not one bit of him did she like, he even reeked of cockiness and idioci. " I believe I asked you a question…what do you want creep?"

Laughing lightly, Dark ran a hand threw his layered hair, gaining a scowl from Katrina in the process. "I saw you down in the dumps and thought your needed some happing up… Recognize me?"

Glaring daggers at him, Katrina shook her head, short and quick. "No…now go away..."

Pulling a small stunt, Dark fell to the ground in shock twitching lightly as he laided there. "Can't recognize me..."

Staring at him with a raised eyebrow, Katrina shook her head with a sigh and began to slowly walked away, only starting to run when she heard the bell ring. 'What a creep... That dude was a little to odd for my likings...'

'You can say that again...' Kiva couldn't help but glance back intot he trees on Katrina's flight back to the school grounds, wondering more and more why that man had looked familiar to her.

Sitting quietly in the locker room, Katrina quickly laced up her shoes in annoyance. Instantly, her hands went back to constantly pulling down her shorts so that they looked normal after finding nothing else to occupy their attention. 'Some one mind telling me why these stupid shorts are like underwear?! I give up on them!' Grumbling, Katrina quickly pulled them off, and downed a pair of black knee-lenght shorts. Glancing back to the mirror, she nodded approvingly then quickly pulled back her hair into a loosy horse-tail and bolted down the path to the gym class track.

Standind next to a small group of girls, she couldn't help but look at all the other girl's shorts gagging at their length making a mental note to murder the person who came up with that freaking idea. She slowly then began to dround out the teacher's obnoxiouse chatter and watched the other class, the boy's PE class. 'Damn, I wish I was doing that right now!' Sighing, she watched them running around the track with deppressed eyes, even if they were the boys.

'Running, jummping, tumbelling, hidding, and flying, you name it, she loves it...'

Rolling her eyes to her obnixouse partner, Katrina folded her arms over the white shirt that she wore upon the other requirements for class. ANother rule that must die! 'Oh shut up Kiva...'

"Ready class? Okay, begin running, ten times!"

Mentally chering, Katrina instantly got ready, then shot off when the smoke pistol rang through the air, hair flying gracefully behind her as she passed a few struggling boys. Never once noting that two of them had a head full of red hair, the other a bush brown one.

Whistling, Takashi tried to run up to catch up with Katrina, only to find her to fast for him and wait for Daisuke to catch up to him while panting. "Wow Dai...do you know...how to pick up...people for...symothy!"

He blinked and glared over at his friend as they started to run again. "Shut up, Takashi..."

Yet before Daisule could do anything, his loud mouth friend mysterioulsy tripped and ewnt skidding halfway away from him on the track. He could swear that he saw a flash of brown highlights withing Katrina's blue eyes as she ran past them again after the mysterious tripping. 'Creepy...'

'Couldn't reconise me...'

'Oh will you give that up already!?' Helping Tenchi up with a sigh, Daisuke continued to watch Katrina, her body moving in one fluid movement as if she were flying. But then she crossed the finish line and instantly darted back into the changing room and start walking away fully dressed with her bag a few minutes later. 'Okay, now I'm creeped out, I can't even run like that...'

'Yhea...'

He instantly bolted across the line and dissapeared into his respective changing room. When he returned several minutes after, Daisuke ran up to Katrina, who was leaning against a ence waiting for the school bell, and laughed nervously when she simply glared at him. "Listen, I'm sorry about Takashi back there, he's kind of a jerk at time..."

"Kind of?" She pushed herself up off of the gate as the bell rang out across the school yard and began to walk down the road towards his house. Daisuke was instantly on her heels looking up at her with a nervouse face.

Laughing lightly, Daisuke watched her glare ahead, his heart sinking aslightly for twice in one day he had pissed her off immensly, and she didn't seem to like getting rid of grudges esily. "Okay, maybe all the time... Forgive me?"

Shrugging, Katrina kept watching infront of her, mind raging as Kiva held a hand argument of good or bad in her mind, both helping and causing more touble for the girl outside. "Will you shut up?" While Kiva merely squeeked and hide into the shadows, Daisuke could feel his heart falling even further when he caught her hiss those words. As everyone goes, he naturally thought they were directed at him, and his head lowered partially to glance at the siedwalk. That was until he heard a nervouse laugh emmit from Katrina.

"No no no! I wasn't talking to you!"

Blinking, he glanced back up at her with a raised eyebrow and a tilted head. "Then who were you talking to?"

"Uh um..." Her face shot back to the sky extreamly pale and shakey.

"Listen..." He sighed as he re-shouldered his bag and looked saddly at her. "I'll just go if you want..."

Reaching out, Katrina grabbed the red headed boy's shoulder, turning him around and glaring him down slightly, yet also kindly with those ocean eyes. "No, you won't...you're going to stay here and walk home with me, got it?"

Nodding, Daisuke hid a small smile into his hand as he scrattched his nose and took his place back next to Katrina, the two continuing their walk home. Occasional chatter and laughs from them could have been heard down the road, where a certin pair of twins walked, Riku huffing and stuffing her hands into her pockets with a very annoyed face dorned her IlovlyI features.

Entering the house, Katrina almost was bombarded with a small white, kamakazi rabbit, Daisuke, her hero, caught the flying rabbit though at the last possible moment, saving Katrina from landing on her butt in vain.

Jokingly, he gently poked the rabbit's small nose and laughed lightly as it twitched arround quickly. "Come on Wiz! Please don't attack the new people like that!? It's a Friday and I don't need you causing heck!"

Looking to the red headed boy with a small smirk, Katrina cocked her head slightly. "You don't swear alot, do you..."

Shaking his head, Daisuke put the rabbit back down and started up the stairs, casting a glance to his dad with pink higlights and going all 0o, but chuckling it softly away and walked into his room. As usual, Katrina immidiatly dove for the newly set up hammok outside. "Never really did, I just don't see the point to it..."

Shurgging, Katrina gazed intently outside, her brown hair flying around slightly in the chilling autum wind.

Blinking, Daisuke rubbed his eyes to look again out next to Katrina. It was as if there was someone sitting out there with her, only leaning against the side of the building hugging their knees, but he immidiatly snapped it away upon remembering something important. "Crap! I have to do something tonight, if you want to, you can come..."

Jumping up, Katrina walked over and nodded briefly, already pulling her hair back into that all to famous horse tail of her. Her eyes were smiling as she bumbed shoulders with the red head on her departure from the room. "Be happy to Daisuke...oh by the way, you swore!"

"Did not! Crap, my dear lady is not a swear word!"

"What ever man..." Laughing, the two teens chased eachother down the stairs and into the family room where Katrina dove over the edge of the couch to sit down and flick on the TV with a very well aimed pillow. Daisuke just laughed and slipped over the arm of the couch and sat next to his friend who was currently hugging her knees and staring intently at the cartoon flashing across the screan.

Blinking, Katrina glanced up as Daisuke stood up and streched next to the couch with a light yawn before smiling down at her. "Come on, time to get going..."

Nodding, she stood up and pulled her black hoody on over her now changed uniform shirt, being able to see one's breath is a bad thing at nine o-clock.

"Mom! We're heading out!"

Nodding, Mrs. Newa watched as her son walked out of the house, his rabbit seated on his head, and Katrina was not to far behind laughing loudly at the faces Daisuke was making at the poor rabbit.

Leaning against a tree, Katrina watched lazly as Diasuke ran off after telling her moments befor that he had to use the bathroom.

'Why do boys always have to leave at the crappyest moments in time?' Kiva raised an eyebrow to the dissapearing boy that left her partner standing infront of the old mansion building.

'I really have no idea, nor do I care...he said he'll be back in a minute, so that's all I'll wait for, if he fell down the toilet...then fine, I'll wait longer...'

Kiva instantly went wide-eyed at her partner's mental range and shuddered as a cold breath brushed against Katrina's cheek. (AN: Yees, she can feel things like pain or temperatures that Katrina can, and vise versa...Back to the story!) 'You scare me at times Kit, ya know that?'

Nodding to herself, Katrina brushed a few loose strands of her maple hair behind newly studded ears, yearning to go out and fly with Kiva's wings in the crisp night air yet knowing all to well she couldn't.

About half an hour had passed, and Katrina was growing pissed, looking up only when she heard girls screaming in joy...and other things..., and police sirens going off. Looking up to the air to were a girl pointed, she saw a dark figure doing exactly what she wanted to do right now, his black wings silogheted in shadow as he flew.

'Well I'll be a fucking munky's uncle...' Kiva whispered with a slight smirk as Katrina fallowed the flying man with her eyes.

Katrina smirked at her first sighting of the man she had heard so much about. 'Is that him? The lengandary Dark everyone was talking about befor Dai found us?'

'Yep...I'd be damned to hell if he wasn't...'

Katrina gained a blank face at her partner's idiotic statment. 'You already came from there Kiva...Don't think they want 'cha back just yet...'

Sighing, Katrina stood up, stuffed her numming hands back deep into her pockets, then started back for the Newa's house.

Wide-eyed, Kiva spun back around and pointed un-sucessfully back at the mansion. 'Wait!? Where are you going!?'

'Is it not obviouse? Dai dumped me for something or someone else, I highly doubt he fell down the toilet that long...'

'Well ya never know! Those damn portapoties swallow everyone up!'

Laughing lightly, Katrina kept walking, her head down a little. 'You really know how to cheer me up don't ya?'

Grinning, Kiva held a proud thumb to her cheast with a cute little chibi body and face. 'Well duh! Isn't my job? Gawd!'

Laughing louder, Katrina was forced to throw her head back and continued her wal home, howling with laughter as Kiva snickered in her own little mind still as a chibi.
