Disclaimer: I do not own Nabari No Ou, but Maria is another story!

Miharu walked out of his house that morning with Maria waiting for him at the corner. They walked in sync, talking about things until they were to separate at the school gate. That's what Miharu thought but honestly Maria was there to pick something's up for Tobari that he had left the other day, in return he would pay her. They separated inside the building, Miharu heading to the cafeteria and his twin heading upstairs.

In the cafeteria he sat by himself, the high school wasn't very different from the middle school in appearance but this building had more twists and turns. He began to stare off out the window, his mask was slightly placed.

After suffering through morning class's lunch finally came along. He sat by himself again, just drinking his beverage when another guy sits down across from him. He had dirty blonde hair that was kind of spiky on one side but it was also short, he was taller then Miharu…about Yoite's height maybe taller, with green-blue eyes and lightly tanned skin. He gave a huge smile and saluted him with two fingers, "salutations, I'm Kai-stern."

Miharu just looked at him with dull green eyes as he analyzed him, "Miharu Rokujou." He eventually stated.

"Rokujou, no kidding?" He seemed to look Miharu over, "You do look alike, A LOT alike." He mumbled and Miharu tensed, obviously he was talking about his sister…he was just like the others so he ignored Kai-stern the rest of lunch.

They had the last three classes together after lunch. Science, Math, and P.E. much to Miharu's distaste and the guy was set on being buddies or something which left him a little flustered. Even more so in P.E. when some girls wouldn't shut up about Kai-stern and his looks, he did his best to ignore then but when one began to talk 'inappropriately' he could have lost it then, thankfully the bell rang which indicated it was time to leave.

Miharu had survived the first day.

Outside Maria was waiting for Miharu at the gate when he came out and they began to walk and talk. "How was the first day?"

"It was…dull, almost lost it in gym though."

"Don't worry about it, those girls were just being stupid." Miharu gave Maria a look and she laughed nervously, "I'm working on not reading your mind, I was so close!" Maria said and snapped her finders once for effect.

The next morning was the same thing only Maria was heading out to her job instead of picking stuff up at the school. They separated at the gate and began the day.

Once again Kai-stern sat with Miharu at lunch, only this time reading through a book. Miharu had asked Kouichi and Yoite what he should do and they suggested talking to him, even if just a little so he gave it a shot.

"What are you reading?" Kai-stern looked up in surprise; he must not have expected Miharu to talk to him. : Oh, um 'Dragon Knights' (AN: The irony XD *), it's a manga that was recommended to me." Kai-stern replied as he fixed his reading glasses that he only wore while (You guessed it) reading. (!)

"What's it about?" Miharu asked, his sister read manga and so dif Rai-mei, he saw Kouichi and Gau look through some once. He had never bothered to read one since even if he picked one of Maria's up she ruined the plot by thinking about it, but if it kept this conversation going.

Kai-stern explained the plot and a few characters involved and by the end of lunch Miharu was slightly interested in the manga series.

By the end of the school day he had an acquaintance, an almost-friend.

Miharu had survived day two.

(*) Dragon Knights is a 26 volume manga series, Kai-stern is actually a character in the book but I changed the hair and eye color. The series is by Mineko Ohkami and I highly recommend it. If you want to know the irony then read the series!

Also I want another Nabari No Ou story, a random idea sapped me in the face and it's about Yukimi….he has to watch….children (GASP)! I may just write it soon, if anyone wants it then please say so in a review or message. :D
