First Impressions

She sat on the edge of her bed, her green-brown gaze checking out the view below. Her mom had become a teacher, much to her dismay. "Guess it's time for another year of being the 'new kid', huh?" She murmured to herself.

"Kira, are you ready yet!" Her mom called.

Jumping a couple inches off her bed, Kira toppled off and landed on the ground; giving a yelp of surprise on her way down. Picking herself up, Kira rubbed her tail, already feeling the bruise forming. She let out an exasperated sigh, looking around for everything she'd need; she pursed her lips and finished standing up. She quickly grabbed the stuff she needed, racing out the door; she skidded to a halt after passing the mirror in the hall. She wasn't vain or anything, but no way did she want to make a bad first impression.

She was now fifteen, and had decent enough curves. Her hair had gotten longer, and there was a mild flush to her cheeks; the nice thing was that she was the way she wanted to be. Smiling to herself, Kira quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail, only to hear her mom shout for her again, squeaking, Kira bolted rest of the way to the kitchen. Taking the steps two at a time, she padded silently into the kitchen, looking to see her mom at the counter; she offered a small grin in greeting. "Kira, didn't I tell you to set that clock?"

She looked away, knowing that had been coming, she bit the inside of her cheek. Nodding silently, she took the glass of orange juice that her mom offered. "What kept you so long?"

Kira looked at the woman in front of her, shaking her head, she muttered, "I fell off of my bed, and than I needed to get a few things; sorry." Lowering her lashes, Kira stared at the glass in her hands; she didn't need to look up to see the pity in her mother's eyes. Giving a sharp shake of her head, Kira grinned and snatched her book out of her bag; flipping to the page she was on, she started reading as she ate breakfast. "Did you dream again last night?"

She froze, looking up at her mother; Kira stared blankly at the woman in front of her. Her mom had aged gracefully; to the point where people, including Kira herself, were surprised to find out she had a fifteen-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son. Speaking of younger siblings, Kira twisted around to see David come in to the kitchen; wearing his pjs. Taking one look at him, Kira knew that he wouldn't be going to school, looking away from him, she heard her mom order gentle, "David, get a drink and some Tylenol; and get back to bed."

A quick glance in her direction, and David was doing as he was told; Kira watched as her blond haired and blue-eyed brother walked out of the room. Twisting around to look at her, David stuck his tongue out; growling in frustration, Kira threw her toast at his head, only for him to duck out of the way. "Brothers," she muttered.

"Sisters!" He called down the hallway.

Getting up to go after him, Kira sank back into her chair, deciding he wasn't worth the time or effort. Pulling out her sketchbook, she flipped to the latest drawing. It was in charcoal, so she didn't know who the people were supposed to be. The picture depicted a girl wrapped in a boy's arms, his head was bent like he was comforting her; while the girl's face was buried in his chest, a few whitish-blue spots were on her face; resembling tears.

Shutting it quickly, she stood up and followed her mom out of the house; climbing into the passenger seat, Kira listened as the engine started and her mom turned on the radio.


The car ride was a silent one, and to her luck, so was the boat ride to the island the school was on. Looking around the island, Kira wrapped her arms around herself; feeling extremely unsure, her mom had abandoned her so she could get ready for the opening ceremony. Looking around to see that she wasn't the only one feeling lost; she caught a glimpse of one the male students. He wore a white and blue uniform; his blue hair hung to his shoulders; his blue eyes drifted to hers.

Dropping her gaze instantly, she listened to one of the other boys; although she couldn't make out his words. Kira listened as footsteps moved closer to her, her gaze snapping upwards despite her mental protest; she met the gaze of the boy she'd been staring at a moment before. A smile touched his face, extending a hand for her to shake; she stared at it confounded, a laugh drifted to her ears. It was deep and kind, Kira refused to look up at him though. "Don't worry; I'm not going to bite." He laughed, hesitantly, she took his hand and shook it; only to let go afterward.

"Name's Zane, what's yours pretty thing?"

Realizing he was talking to her, she groaned inwardly; not meeting his gaze she answered hastily, "Kira."

All of a sudden an extremely loud noise erupted from the group, jumping and giving a nervous whimper; she caught Zane's gaze. It was a mix of surprise and amusement, blushing in embarrassment; she shook her head and waved hands, trying to compose herself so she could explain her reaction back there. Realizing she was only embarrassing herself farther, she sighed in defeat and looked away, awaiting for any comments to be made. "Hm, well you seem to be as scared as a newborn kitten, huh? You even kind of sound like one, in certain ways, Mew."

Before she could register anything that happened, Zane had walked away, leaving her standing there confused. A scream building in her chest, Kira made a beeline for the opening pep rally.


Sitting in her seat, Kira's gaze drifted around her, she was paying attention to the pep rally; but she wanted to see what sort of types of students were here. Near by, she heard a boy whisper, "Do you know who she is? The new girl, the teacher's daughter? Have you heard about what she did at her last school?"

"What, the fact she caused a whole lot of trouble? Or that a bunch of students and teachers got hurt because of her?"

Her breath coming in short, panicked whispers, she looked around to see if anyone else was overhearing this. Cringing under the icy looks that got sent her way, Kira was grateful when one of the students, a Ra Yellow, moved up and recited, "We, the students of Duel Academy, solemnly promise to abide by the Academy's regulations, to resolve all conflicts by dueling. To show respect to our professors and our fellow peers, unless they plan to take over the world."

After the ceremony was done, Kira got up and walked from the room, trying to keep herself from running out of there.

"Hey, Kira, wait up!"
