Review thanx to:

saphireKat and Shugotenshi Sakura for being the first... and only:(... people to review my story!

The bell rings to signal the last day of the year. Students stream out, screaming laughing and chatting. Retasu and Ichigo walk out, talking animatedly. "What are you doing this summer?" Asked Retasu. "Working at the café of course!… stupid Ryou… cant believe I had a crush on that idiot…" says Ichigo crossly.

Retasu sighs, amused, "Hey look that new girls lagging behind again, do you think we should…?" Ichigo rounds on her, frowning. "I don't have the TIME! Do you have any idea how much homework my teachers set me!"

Retasu looks at her "well just don't leave it till the last minute like last time ok?…" "Yeah yeah…" "come on, Ryou probably wants us at the café…" Ichigo starts to mutter, "…stupid, ugly slave driver…"

Lagging behind watching is the new girl, Haze. Haze watches with piercing, yet immeasurably sad, blue eyes. "Oh how I wish that was me… I wonder if they know… if they've realised…" she whispers, heading toward a large black oak.

She climbs up into it's lower branches until she finds a large hollow. Crawling in she pulls out her homework ( yeah I know it's not very exciting!) and works until it gets dark. As the moon starts to rise she stiffens, feeling a strange presence… (now who could that be?)

Kish materialises, a searching look on his face. His ear twitches listening intently, "I know you're here little Birdie, come out, come out…" He hears a sharp intake of breath and swings around to face it, seeing a wraith-like figure staring out at him from the tree.

'This can't be the power Pai found… can it?"

Suddenly intrigued, he speeds toward Haze, who stands unflinching, til they are almost touching. Haze tilts her head inquiringly, revealing pointed ears and a small, twisting scar. Seeing this Kish backtracks, fear and... was it longing? flashing from his eyes. "You! How could you be here you were banished!"

"Kish, oh god,... not now, I was so close…" She whispers, frightened. Kish's hand shoots out and, grabbing Haze's wrist, he teleports them to a dimly lit room, containing only a small bed. Kish flies out, and closes the door behind him, whispering "I'll be back soon little Birdie…".

Haze listens to Kish's retreating footsteps, then stood and strode around her prison, looking franticly for a way out. Sure HE knew she was here, but if she could leave before the others saw her maybe they would forget… maybe they would leave her alone…

She spots a small plate of food, and nibbles on the dry bread and foreign fruit.

Feeling suddenly tired, she wanders slowly over to the bed, as she nears the bed sleep hits her like a wave, and her last thought as she falls toward the pillow is 'I should have known they'd drug the food…'

Hope all you random people out there liked my fan fic! If you like it or have questions please review, and if you hated it don't be afraid to yell and swear at me…. :(

And I still need 2 OC characters to pair with Pai and Tart! Please help me, I cant make them myself! Read and Review.
