Auuuuuuthor's note!
Alright! So here's where the action starts~ Enjoy!! I worked hard to make it longer than the last :) Oh, and the beginning shall be explained in due time!
Also, their mission is to find out who made the car explode (magick is kept low-key due to abuse of it, and magick made the car explode because no other cause was found) and find out information about the son that almost died, aka Roxas, and the son that is his twin, Sora. I realized that I didn't explain that too well. I'll fix it eventually. **It's now fixed** (on April 25th)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it, I only use it! How many times must I tell you people?! :) Also. The Howling belongs to Within Temptation! (i absolutely love them!!!)

"Momma?" A lone voice called out through a sea of darkness.
"Yes, dear?" A soft voice responded.
"Why can't I feel things with my hands?"
"Aw, honey… it's okay. You needn't worry about something like that. It's perfectly normal…" A sad tone struck the mothers' voice. It cried out softly, in a silent agony unheard to the little boy.
"Oh okay, thanks mommy!!" The boy responded, his voice exuberant.
"Anytime dear."

7:30
"Aaoki, are we there yet?"
"No, for the millionth time; WE'LL GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE!!"
"Ah, okay"
"Good. Glad we're clear on that."
"Aaoki, are you sure we're not almost there?"
"ERRGHHHH" Aaoki slammed her hands on the steering wheel and skidded to the side of the road. "Look, Itami, as much as I want to be there too, I can't drive any faster without breaking any laws. We left 15 minutes ago, and we're not going to be there for another FOUR hours. So sit tight and let me drive, already"
"Sheeeesh. Party pooper."
-:-:-:-:-:-
A good four hours later the girls found themselves in a quaint little town called Fayte's Creek. The town had its own school system, the high school named Destiny High. The houses of the town all circled around the single center-point of town (a large, beautiful, and sparkling fountain), and it was urban legend that if you ever fell into the fountain you'd be cursed… but then again, that's just the urban legend they heard from Mickey some time ago.
Anyway, Aaoki and Itami drove up to Byte Place and soon found their number, 647. The house itself was somewhat small, but it was perfect for two people. The garden was brimming with flowers and the grass was a vibrant green. The shudders were a sky blue and the house was pure white. In short, it was small but lovely. Aaoki walked up to the front door.
"Wooaaaah. This place is amazing!!!"
"I know!! I cant wait to put our stuff away and just relax inside…"
"Aaaaaah, that's going to be so blissful… until tomorrow. We 'start' school then."
"UUUHHGGGH. Please, don't remind me. I don't want to go through school. Again,"
"Its okay. Really, honestly, I think it's okay. And because we already learned it, so it can't be too hard. Like, we know how to do math – very well, and science is easy, and English is the easiest to understand…"
"Hmm, you do have a point there." Itami sighed. "Okay, fine. I guess I can handle a couple weeks/months of school"
"Good girl"
Itami smiled and slowly began to pack her bags. There weren't much, for both girls, just clothing and toiletries. Oh wait, they had brought weapons, technology… and of most importance, their iPods.
After unpacking, the girls went up to their rooms and went to sleep in preparation for their 'first day of school'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE NEXT DAY
When we start killiiiiinggggg, its all coming doooown right now… from the night that we created, I wanna be awake –
"Ngggh" Itami groaned as she crawled out of her bed as her cell phone alarm blared Within Temptation's The Howling. "Ugh… I hate loud alarms, right Aaok—Aaoki?"
"In the bathroom!"
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll go make some breakfast." Itami slid out of bed and got to the fridge. Surprisingly there was a lot food in it. The military's detective division was pretty smart…she thought while gazing over what she could make. Pancakes are always good right? So by the time she was finished making them, Aaoki came out of the bathroom; showered and refreshed with a school uniform. The uniform consisted of 3 parts. The skirt was plaid but it was all blue and it extended to Aaoki's mid-thigh. The shirt was pure white button-down, with a really soft fabric, and on the left a picture that seemed like the school insignia. The insignia was a star shaped banana slightly tilted to the left and one tip was behind the lettering 'Destiny High'. The last part was a blue plaid tie, which was weird because it was a girl's uniform. But hey! A uniform's a uniform, Itami thought.
Aaoki wore her signature black sneakers, the one's that are best for running… and kicking. With them, she wore navy blue stockings that reached her knees. She had a necklace that suppressed her powers so normal people wouldn't notice it leaking out of her. The necklace was a thin silver chain that held a teardrop shaped amethyst stone. Itami had one too, except it was kind-of bluish. Silver jewelry donned her right wrist and she had her hair up in a half-pony.
"Your turn" Aaoki said while pointing to the bathroom.
"Nah, I'll take one after breakfast."
"Okay" Aaoki said as she joined Itami to breakfast
"Schoo, vats on da venou fo toay?"
"?"
Itami swallowed, "So, what's on the venue for today?"
"Oh. Well as you know, school… and finding this 'Sora' person… the usual intro stuff"
"I hate intro stuff…. Meh. Oh well. You're probably going to end up doing it anyway."
"Shut up. So yeah. I think we need to get going. Since we're 3rd years they would want us to be on time. Responsibility and crap."
"Good point… Sora's a 3rd year too, hopefully. I don't want to do a lot of digging to find out who he is slash where he usually is after school."
"Agreed. I think he's 3rd year too… either that or he's younger… which his unlikely because he's supposedly 17ish."
"Coolio"
"Alrighties!!" Aaoki stuck a fist in the air in a victory pose and then began to eat. She suddenly stopped. "… OH. MY. GOD. I totally forgot!! One of us has to go in early to sign us in saying that we're here!! Shit!"
"Well, I'm in no condition to go.. I haven't even showered. I'm sorry, looks like it's gonna be you" Itami winced. "I'm sorry"
"S'all right. I really don't care, I like the morning wind. Anyways, guess I'll catch you later!"
"Laters"
"See ya."
Aaoki sprinted out the door. Itami looked at her food and sighed.
"Silly girl. Oh well, gotta love her, um, memory. Or lack thereof."
As Itami finished up her breakfast she stopped dead in her tracks at a soft creaking sound.
Creeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
"Who's there?!"
Creeeeeeek CREEEEEEK
"WHO'S. THERE??!!"
Creeeeee—
"That's it. HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!— 呪いシール!!" (Curse seal)
Hiiissssssssssss………
"A hiss? That can't be good at all. HAAAAA! 呪いシール!!!"
The snake-like sound dissipated into the air and left a very confused Itami.
"What the hell was that…?"
-:-:-:-:-:-
Aaoki found herself running down the confusing streets of Fayte's Creek. She had realized about 5 minutes ago that she could have just used the car, but she was too far from the house by then. And even still, she didn't think that the school would let her park because they were assholes and didn't want to have extra parking for 3rd years. Or any year really… so said Mickey anyway. It was all staff. Damn administration…Aaoki thought. Thank God this town was somewhat small; therefore everything was in walk able distance … So then the use of a car is somewhat useless…. Plus walking is healthier…
So anyway, while Aaoki was debating the use of a car in this new town a tall brunette crashed into her from behind. They toppled to the ground. The brunette immediately tried to get up. He kinda fell over again though. His mouth opened really wide, and in really fast words he said;
"Ohmygosh!! I'm so sorry!" He had spiky hair that looked like it exploded, but somehow it fit him. Wow, that must take a long time to style… Aaoki sighed. He had crystal blue eyes that seemed to shine in the rising sun and they were brimming with kindness and alarm. As Aaoki tried to turn around so she could get up she brushed her hand across his hair. Wow! I wish my hair was that soft!!! The boy was wearing what seemed like the boy's version of the Destiny High school uniform. It had a pair of dark navy blue pants and a pure white shirt. There was a picture of the insignia near the left breast pocket. The tie had—it was… Not. There. What the hell? The girls have to wear a tie, and the guys have nothing of it! The nerve!
The brunette got up and held out a hand to Aaoki, "Here, let me help you up… Waaahhh! Are you okay?!" He asked when he saw her knee. There was a small scratch on thought nothing of it as she took Sora's hand and got up.
"Oh, it's alright. I'm as strong as they come! But hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..... Oh!! That uniform! Do you go to Destiny High?"
"I will if I sign in at the main office," Aaoki laughed.
"Oh!! So you're one of the new girls!! Cool, let me show you around! It is the duty of the tennis team's very own CAPTAIN." The boy held his hands on his hips as he seemed proud of the accomplishment. "Well, actually it isn't my duty… but still.." As the boy kept rambling Aaoki tried to politely refuse the offer,
"Naw, that's oka—"
"My name's Sora, what's yours?"
Sora? I'm pretty sure that's the eldest son's name…I better let him lead me around. But he's so… so… out there. Oh well. Better put on a good face!
"My name's Aaoki, pleasure to meet you! And it would be awesome if you lead me around" Aaoki smiled cheekily. This might be hard… Itami?? Where are you when I need you.........?
"Cool! First, you said that we need to sign you in right? That means we have to go to school early and talk to the secretary. Alright, to the main office then! This way!" Sora said while moving towards what she guessed was the school.
Okay… time for some small talk! Aaoki thought against her better judgment.
"So you said you were the captain of the… um, what team?"
"Oh! Yeah! I'm on the tennis team! Our school's famous for it… we almost won the nationals!!" Sora said with shining eyes. "And my brother, Roxas, we're a doubles team! And we are amazing, if I do say so myself. Plus, he just got better from the acci—um. The flu!" Sora laughed nervously. If Aaoki was a normal run-of-the-mill girl, she probably wouldn't have noticed the slip of the tongue that Sora made. But hey, she's not.
So he IS the Myde boy. Thank the Gods! I am so lucky today! I probably should ask him about the accident… but I shouldn't push it. But something IS up with it, obviously, Aaoki thought. But I definetly should join the tennis team. Itami should too. It would be the best way to get information, and we could play doubles! Aaoki smiled at the thought. She and Itami made the best team in everything.
"What'cha smiling about?" Sora asked with an innocent face.
Aaoki blinked. "Oh, hah hah, I was just thinking of joining the tennis team."
Sora's face literally lit up. Almost like a bunch fireworks went off in his brain. Obviously, he was into tennis!
"Oh my gosh!! That's a great idea!!!"
"What's a great idea, Sora?" A slick voice said out of nowhere.
"Eh? Oh, Riku!" Sora blushed and ran up the voice's owner. It was a guy who was walking into the mostly deserted street from a small side street. The man had a Destiny High uniform (without a tie as well). Aaoki sighed and looked at his head. Stunning silver hair ran from his pale face down to his shoulders and aqua blue shined from his eyes. A laughing expression took over his face as Sora ran up to him, looked both ways down the street to make sure no one was looking and pecked his lips. The silver haired man grabbed Sora's waist and pulled in for a deeper kiss. The pair quickly pulled apart when they realized Aaoki's presence.
"Oh, shi- snap…" Sora said slowly, as if he didn't want to scare her off. But Aaoki was no homophobe. She was the opposite really. But no, she wasn't a fangirl either.
"Oh! Don't mind me! You two continue!" Aaoki said as she waved her hands in front of her to hide the slight reddish tint that her face took on. Riku placed his hands Sora's waist.
"No, no. I'm the one who should be sorry. You're new… you're probably not used to this kind of stuff. I mean first day here, and 'bam!' two guys making out. It would scare anyone not used to it! And now, you probably won't join the tennis team…" A pout found its way to Sora's face. Sora had puppy dog eyes, very good ones apparently.
"Oh don't be silly! Of course I'll still join!" Riku's hands tightened around Sora slightly… but enough to be noticed by Aaoki. She quickly added, "Because I love tennis!"
Sora's face brightened as he looked up to Riku. He was scowling at Aaoki, as if trying to figure out who she was. I mean, if you see your boyfriend talking with a girl out of the blue, you have the right to want to know who she is. Sora ignored the look, he understood Riku enough to know that it was normal, and started to talk;
"Riku! Guess what? This girl's one of the new girls and she already wants to join the tennis team!! Aren't I good? And I'm gonna show her around" Sora gave a cheeky grin to Riku. Instantly, Riku's face became friendly (probably because Sora was so nice to her) as he released one of his hands from Sora and extended it in greeting.
"Hi, I'm Riku. I'm the vice captain of the tennis team. Nice to meet you."
Aaoki returned the gesture and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm Aaoki. Pleasure to meet you."
"Cool, so you're new and already decided on a team to join. That's pretty impressive." Riku smiled.
"Well yeah!" Aaoki smiled and looked at her watch. As her eyes widened, she said, "So, I'd better get going then. I have to sign in at the office." Sora opened his mouth to say he would show her where it is, but Aaoki cut him off and said, "Naw, it's okay. I can find it by myself" I am a military officer by the way… I'll survive. "So you can spend time with your boooyfriend" She said aloud with a smirk. The Sora blushed and Riku smiled. Suddenly Sora spoke.
"Oh! Before I forget!" He said. "No one besides the starter part of the tennis team really knows about our relationship. They think we're best friends… so would'ya mind keeping it low key?"
"No problemo"
"Cool! I'll see you around then…" Sora waved with one free hand, the other remained around Riku.
Man, those two are close. Cute though… Alright, time to find the main office! Aaoki thought as she started running towards the school. Well, it had to be the school because even though it looked like a church, there was a huge sign that specifically said; Destiny High.
This is going to be one helluvan interesting case, Aaoki thought as she entered through its large doors and into the darkness that was in its depths.
