Chapter 2:

The First Day of School

The sun was just peeking over the city of Tokyo. Morning Doves were perched and chirping outside of Tsunoru's window. The sun peeked inside the room and the sun beams shined on his face. "Mm……" Tsunoru groaned as he turned over under his blankets putting his back to the window and door.

Creak ……………

Tsunoru's door slowly opened and someone stepped inside. The shadowy figure quietly walked over to Tsunoru's bedside and stood over him.

BANG BANG BANG!!

"Wake up Tsunoru! It's time for school!!" Misaki yelled banging a wooden spoon against a metal pot.

"AHHH!" Tsunoru yelled and his eyes opened wide as Misaki hit the pot. He shot up and glared at her. "What the hell woman!? I wish to not partake in your odd human lifestyle! He yelled then buried himself under his blankets once more.

Misaki glared down at him with her eye twitching in anger. "Fine! Stay here and leave me defenseless to whoever is after you." She said in a snotty tone. She walked out of the room, but when she got in the hallway she screamed.

"Misaki!" Tsunoru yelled. H jumped up from his bed and ran into the hallway to protect her. "Where is h- huh?" he looked around and saw no danger. "Misaki….."

"Good. Now that you're up you can get ready for school." She said smiling and handed him a white box. "Change into these clothes and meet me downstairs." She said happily then walked downstairs.

"Evil girl…" Tsunoru said when she left.

"I heard that." She said as she poked her head out from the bottom of the stairs looking angered.

"AHHH!" Tsunoru screamed in fear of Misaki and ran into his room slamming the door shut behind him.

"He scares to easy…. Buts it so much fun to torture him." She said to herself snickering. Then she headed downstairs into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Tsunoru came downstairs ten minutes later and stood in the kitchen doorway. He was wearing a dark purple polo shirt and a pair of black pants. "I cannot believe you are making me wear this." He said to Misaki, extremely bothered by what he was wearing. He finally looked from his clothes to Misaki and a small blush covered her cheeks. She was wearing a black polo shirt, a normal school dark purple skirt, white socks up to her knee's, and her hair tied back in its pigtails.

"Huh?" she looked back at him and stared at him confused. "What are you staring at? This is normal school clothes in Japan for the 21st century." Misaki said to him then smiled.

Tsunoru looked away from her and sat down at the kitchen table. "I wasn't staring at you. I was just… sleeping with my eyes open and standing up because SOMEONE woke me up so damn early!" he said even though he knew he was lying through his teeth.

"Whatever. Here's your breakfast." She said and put a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast in front of him. "If you don't eat, you'll fall asleep in class." Misaki said and sat down across the table from him. Then she noticed something off about Tsunoru. "What the… where did those black bands come from that are your sleeves… and why do you have wings coming off of the bands!?"

"Oh these? See, these black bands on my arms where the wings start? It's something that everyone in the royal family have. Men have black wings and women have white wings." He said pointing at the wings then he continued eating. "Hey, why are you making breakfast? Shouldn't your parents be doing this?" Tsunoru asked looking up at her.

Misaki looked down at her food silently and her bangs covered her eyes. "Come on. We have to leave or we'll miss the bus." She said getting up, placing her plate in the sink, and going into the living room.

He watched her leave then his eyes opened wide. "Hey! You never answered my question!" he yelled at the empty doorway. "Jeez…. What an odd girl." He said quietly then copied her movements and ended in the living room. He continued to copy her by making lunches, putting their shoes on, packing the book bags, and locking the house, all morning until they left the house and walked to the end of the street to the bus stop.

Tsunoru stared in fear as a loud yellow monster came up the road and stopped in front of them. "M…Misaki… what is that thing…?"

"Huh? It's the school bus. It is a mode of transportation here in this world and it's going to take us to school. Now come on." Misaki said and started to get on the machine. Then she looked behind her and saw Tsunoru's just staring at the bus in fear and awe. "Tsunoru…." Misaki got off the bus. "Get on the freakin bus!!!" she yelled pushing on his back to get him on the bus.

Tsunoru put his feet on the edge of the steps, waved his arms frantically, and screamed "No!!! Don't make me get on this demon Misaki! Don't make me!"

"You're going to get on the bus and like it!!" she yelled. Then Misaki opened her eyes, still struggling with Tsunoru, and saw every person around them and on the bus staring at them. She thought quickly, grabbed Tsunoru's ankle, and dragged him behind her running toward the school as fast as she could.

Fifteen minutes later Misaki stopped in front of the High School's gate panting, sweating, and dropping Tsunoru to the ground. "You… are… an… idiot…!!!" Misaki yelled at Tsunoru between breathes.

Tsunoru just glared up at her from the ground and yelled. "It would have stolen my soul if I got on it! That 'bus' as you called it is a demon!" he stood up, dusted himself off, then stared at the large school with students flooding in the front gate. "What the…"

"This is a high school. Now if anyone asks you about your ears…" she grabbed his ear. "You tell them that it's a rare ear condition." Misaki told him fiercely. Then she let go of him and led him inside to the main office. Tsunoru got his schedule and Misaki made sure they had every single class together.

"Something is very odd…." Tsunoru said as they walked to homeroom.

"Oh really. And why is that?" Misaki asked him annoyed from his little scene of calling the principals secretary a wench.

"All of the girls are whispering about me." He said looking at the girls on both sides of the hallway.

"Isn't he so cute?"

"That's the guy I saw on the bus this morning!"

"What's he doing with Fain?"

"She is so out of his league."

Tsunoru was a bit disturbed, but was confused when they said Fain. "Fain..? Who's this Fain they speak of?" he asked Misaki quietly so the girls didn't hear him.

"It's my last name. Misaki Fain. Everyone picks on me because it's not Japanese. I don't even know what language it is, but it was my mothers maiden name." she said looking at the ground sadly. As they walked, Tsunoru was thinking of Misaki and her mothers last name.

"Why does she put up with these lowly people mocking her? She could easily shut them up with one punch." He thought to himself.

When Misaki went into the classroom everyone went silent, but whispered when they saw her with Tsunoru. Misaki walked over to her desk and sat down with her bangs covering her eyes as she looked down blocking out everything.

"Hey… what's wrong?" Tsunoru asked sitting down next to her.

"It's nothing. I just don't like coming to school." She said not even making eye contact with him.

"Misaki…. I…"

"Everyone take your seats. Class has begun." said Ms. Izawa, the teacher. Everyone fell silent and sat down in their seats. "Would…. Tsunoru Hashiba please stand up." A few minutes passed and no one stood.

Misaki threw her pencil at Tsunoru, and then whispered. "Stand up and introduce yourself."

"Huh…? Oh!" Tsunoru quickly stood up and said "I am Tsunoru Hashiba."

"There you are. Class, Tsunoru is from Yokohama, but recently moved here for our schools higher education. I want you to treat him with respect and kindness like you do everyone else. And Misaki… thank you for offering to show him around for the first couple days. Now on to linear equations." The teacher said and turned to the board writing down equations. When Ms. Izawas back was turned, all the girls gave Misaki dirty looks. Tsunoru sat back down and saw Misaki sink down into her seat.

Throughout the entire day, Tsunoru was freaking out from the new surroundings, while Misaki was receiving dirty looks and paper balls thrown at her. At the end of the school day Tsunoru was sick of the girls who had been flooding up to him. He was ecstatic when last period finally came around. Physical Education.
"Now this class is PE. or physical education. Boys and girls are separated, boys over there and girls over here." Misaki said pointing from the soccer field to the gym. "Now don't start any fights, call the teacher teacher or sensei, and do what your told!" when Misaki finished her lecture, which Tsunoru was ignoring, she walked away and headed into the girls locker room.

Tsunoru was grabbed by some of the other boys, taken to the locker room, and instantly made friends with all of the guys. They showed him how to play soccer, how not to piss off the teacher, and how not to hurt someone with a soccer ball. Misaki on the other hand was not having as much fun as Tsunoru…

"Fain!!" said the head cheerleader, Mitsuki Kabiki. "We don't know why you think you can act all chummy with Tsunoru, but we don't like it. I think you need to be taught a little lesson in where your place is."

"Go away Mitsuki. I'm not in the mood to deal with you." Misaki said and walked away from the girls.

"Getting a bit brave are we? Well…. That's good for someone who's been erased from existence." Mitsuki said smirking and laughing with the other girls.

Misaki stopped and stood there staring at the ground. "Am I… really gone from the world? Does anyone even care that I am still alive?" she thought to herself. Tears began to stream down her cheeks and her body shivered.

"Huh?" Tsunoru stopped dead in his tracks and looked over toward the gym where the girls were playing dodge ball.

SMACK!

"OWWW!" Tsunoru yelled and he held the back of his head in pain.

"Come on Tsunoru. If you keep zoning out like that the ball will keep hitting you. Now get the ball and let's keep playing!" yelled one of the boys.

"Right!" he yelled back. Tsunoru got the ball from behind the bleachers and threw it back into play. But before he jumped back into the game with the others he looked over at the gym, with an uneasy feeling growing inside. "Misaki…" he thought to himself. Then he went back into the game.

After gym, Tsunoru was waiting for Misaki in the front school yard, since school was now over for the day. "What taking her so long? Women are so weird…" he said to himself. He leaned back against a tree and sighed looking up at the sky. "I wonder what that weird feeling was earlier… hmm…." He thought, going into his own little world.

"Come on, Tsunoru. Let's go home." Misaki said as she walked by him quickly, her bangs covering her eyes.

"What the…" He noticed she was wearing a sweater he had never seen before and knew she didn't bring it to school. Then he saw them. Bruises were covering her legs. "Misaki…" Tsunoru stood there in shock for a few seconds unable to move. Then he quickly ran after her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled up her sleeve.

"Hey! Let… Go!" Misaki yelled at him. She tried to pull her arm away, but his grip was to strong for her.

Tsunoru just stared down at the bruises covering her arm in complete shock. Then he looked up at Misaki. "Where did these bruises come from?" he asked, a small hint of anger in his voice.

"They're nothing." She said looking away from his gaze.

"Don't give me that crap Misaki! Tell me who the hell did this to you!" she yelled harshly, holding her wrist tightly.

Misaki winced when he held her wrist tightly. Then she yelled "FINE! It was your stupid fan club!" Then tears streamed down her face. She stood there trying not to cry, but failed miserably in her attempt.

"Fan… club…?" Tsunoru said now completely confused. "It must have been those girls that have been following me around all day…" he thought to himself and sighed. "Misaki…" he said softly. He raised a finger to her tears and wiped them away. "Please don't cry. I'll teach those girls a lesson if you want." He said bending down to be eye level with her. It killed him inside to see women crying or hurt, it was his weakness.

Misaki stood there wide eyed and blushing lightly when he wiped away her tears. It took her a few seconds to recollect her mind, but when it did return she slapped his hand away. "Now listen, you! I've been dealing with those girls for my entire life! This isn't the worst they've done to me! She yelled harshly.

It was then Tsunoru saw her right eye. It had become black. "But… I don't understand why you would let them do this to you! You don't take crap from me!" he yelled back.

"It's different. Now let's go." She said turning around and walking home.

"Misaki…" he said quietly watching her leave.

"If you're not coming, I am locking you out of the house!" she yelled.

"COMING!" he shouted back and quickly ran after her.

The next morning, Tsunoru and Misaki were walking to since they could no longer take the bus. Tsunoru's fan club girls were following them and it felt as though the devil was at their heels. Tsunoru and Misaki were both trying their hardest to ignore them and think of other things.

"I wonder… If I stay close to Misaki, maybe those girls will leave her alone. And if not… umm…I can't yell at a girl… but I do yell at Misaki…CRAP! I'm so confused!" Tsunoru yelled in his head.

"I can't believe how he was acting! Tsunoru was acting like I was his little sister or… EWWW!!!! I should give him a piece of my mind and my fist!" Misaki thought looking up at Tsunoru evilly from the corner of her eye.

In class, Tsunorus fan club had been backing off of Misaki for half of the day. Tsunoru stayed as close to her as possible which started to make some rumors fly about them. He did tell off the fan club earlier at lunch, but that's how rumors start at high school. By the end of the day the two were left completely alone.

A thought then crossed Tsunoru's mind. Why was he so protective of Misaki? She was rude and cruel to him since the day they met, yet… he began to feel different around her.

Why?
